The Tiger Battalion suppressed Bayala, and then blocked the enemy's follow-up troops, making a great contribution to the Xuan army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, during this period, the crisis inside the fortress had not been resolved, and the Houjin army continued to think about firing in the trenches, causing confusion among the militia troops, and then many Houjin soldiers wanted to take the opportunity to climb through the fence.

The remaining field troops inside the fortress immediately went up, but the first squadron, which had suffered heavy casualties, had few people who could stand, and hundreds of people were scattered on all sides of the fence, which was completely a drop in the bucket.

At the critical moment, the soldiers of the 1st Company of the Rangers, under the leadership of Zhao Qingyu, went to the front line.

The 6-round magazine, a revolver that can perform a single shot with a single hammer pull, played a huge role in the hands of these warriors.

With the joint efforts of officers at all levels, veterans, and military courts, the militia finally regained their composure and began to take over the warriors in front.

Looking at the rangers who were almost shot into hedgehogs when they were carried down by the medics, and there were still bullet holes in the body armor with green smoke, the militiamen solemnly gave a military salute, and then clenched the rifles in their hands and headed forward.

As long as you calm down, it is actually easy to deal with enemies in the trenches, because Fort 1 has a large number of grenades in stock.

These are all defensive grenades with steel ball coats on the outside, and because they are filled with black powder, they are very heavy, and most of the time they can only be unbuttoned and use the offensive grenades inside to kill the enemy.

Now the enemy occupies a trench only 5 meters from the fence, and even a slightly trained Xuan soldier can throw a heavy defensive grenade into the trench.

With the sound of dull explosions continued to sound, the Houjin army inside the trench suffered a catastrophe, each grenade jacket was wrapped in these 200 steel balls, the farthest killing radius can reach more than 20 meters, in the closed narrow trench, it is simply an artifact-like existence.

The Houjin army in the trench gradually fell silent under the grenade service, and the Xuanjun militia was still not at ease, so they continued to throw a few grenades below, and made sure that there was really no sound, so they collapsed on the ground as if relieved.

However, the officer's reprimand immediately rang out.

"Stand up and get ready, the enemy may launch the next round of attacks, don't let up."

"Three rows, hurry up and replenish the grenades."

"3 in a row, report the number."

"1 company, how many people are left in 1 company, say it."

"Infantry artillery intensified reloading, all using shotshots."

"Here, here's a hand cannon, this position must be firmly guarded."

Under the orders of the officers, the militia of the Xuan Army and the surviving members of the field troops were all busy.

・・・・・

The next battle began again with the boring and bloody repetition of the previous one, and the remaining Tiger Ben firmly suppressed those Bayalas, so that they did not have a chance to come out and play a role, and the ordinary post-gold archers and bird gunners did not have much effect on the attack of the fortress at all.

As night fell, Houjin finally failed to capture Fort No. 1. They took advantage of the darkness of the night to launch a surprise attack, and the battered Ba Yala was taken back, and then the battlefield was completely quiet.

The cold wind of winter blew, rolling up a piece of dust, blowing the big hunting sound on Chen Xin's body, looking at the swaying bonfire in the Houjin camp in the distance, Chen Xinchang let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes couldn't help narrowing.

It was almost dawn now, and after a busy night, Chen Xin finally pulled a full 459 people back from the brink of death together with the doctors he had personally trained, and this was only seriously injured, and then there were thousands of lightly injured people who needed to be treated.

And what made Chen Xin feel the most heartache was the sacrifice of 34 Hu Ben, 103 members of the First Squadron, 242 militiamen, 36 rangers, 12 engineers, including officers and soldiers, a total of 427 soldiers in the Xuan Army system.

Most of these sacrificed Xuan soldiers were shot at the vital point and died on the spot, and some of them, including Tiger Ben and Rangers, had a relatively high level of protection, and they were in the confrontation with the enemy, hard against the enemy's attack, and finally were shocked to death by the kinetic energy carried by a large number of bows and arrows and bird guns and lead bullets in the position, they sacrificed themselves, and pressed the scale of yesterday's battle to their side.

Chen Xin looked at the rising sun slowly rising in the sky, and was speechless for a long time.

It may be that yesterday's battle losses were too heavy, and today's Houjin army has no action at all, and Chen Xin will not provoke them, after all, his own tactics are to delay time as much as possible.

After transferring a squadron of militia from the No. 2 and No. 3 forts to act as a reserve, Chen Xin fell into the busy work of treating the wounded.

Time passed day by day, and Houjin did not make any big moves, and finally on the 25th day of the lunar month, Chen Xin received a report from the rear: "The reorganization of the 20,000 reinforcements from far Korea has been completed." ”

Chen Xin slapped his face fiercely, "Okay, according to the plan, start acting." ”

Beginning on the 27th of the lunar month, a large number of sea ships continued to shuttle back and forth on the route from the port of Yiju to the mouth of the Taedong River, transporting a large number of soldiers of the Xuan Army to the area near Pyongyang to assemble, even on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

All the officers and veterans of the Xuan Army know that their own generals are firmly nailed to the front line, resisting the attack of the Houjin army, if they can't eliminate these enemy troops who come to attack, don't say that this year is not good, I'm afraid everyone will not have a good year in the future.

The transportation lasted for 15 days, and on the thirteenth day of the first month of 1630, more than 33,000 people gathered outside Pyongyang with the 2nd Mixed Brigade, the 3rd Mixed Brigade, 20,000 newly formed Korean troops, 18 raid detachments, and 40 naval long-barreled heavy guns.

Under the bombardment of the navy's long-barreled heavy artillery, the walls of Pyongyang City were smashed like toys in a day, and the next day, this important logistics base for the Later Jin army to attack Chen Xin's headquarters was captured.

The Xuan army, which had an absolute numerical advantage, did not let the news leak out at all, and then continued to attack non-stop, and Shun'an and Suchuan were all taken in one go.

Since then, the logistics support of Houjin has been completely cut off.

Siege warfare losses have always been insignificant, not to mention that the Xuan army now has 20,000 former Korean troops who have been initially reorganized, and there are 10,000 Jurchens among these people, these people still have some combat effectiveness, and their will to fight is relatively strong, but the other 10,000 servant troops are simply mud that can't support the wall.

In addition, the Xuan army could not fully trust these newly formed troops, and did not equip them with the weapons and armor of the Xuan army system, and only let them fight with the previous weapons and equipment.

In this attack on Houjin logistics in less than 10 days, a full 3,000 newly formed troops were lost, which was simply the largest loss for the Xuan army.
