Chapter 207: Anger
However, Niu Lu, who was cheering up his subordinates, only turned his head and spoke loudly, and did not see that after the Xuan army on the opposite side finished shooting, he did not put down his gun like the musketeers he usually encountered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The 200 Xuan Army soldiers pulled the bolt, and then gently shook the exposed chamber and withdrew the copper bullet case, no way, Chen Xin, who had no experience, could not say the specific structure of the shell throwing, and the copycat version of the research institute could not quickly solve the problem of shell throwing, so this step can only be solved by using this primitive shaking method.
After shaking out the cartridge case, the soldiers' right hand touched the cartridge on their waists, and after opening it, they took out a long and heavy bullet with a bullet embedded in it, aimed it at the open chamber and stuffed it, and then pulled the bolt again to tighten the chamber.
Next, it is a common step for flintlock pistols, pulling the hammer to the position to be fired and then starting to aim at the target. This series of movements took only 10 seconds in the hands of the well-trained Xuan Jun.
The Jurchen officers who were still cheering up their subordinates did not see it, but the remaining hundreds of cavalry saw it clearly, but before they could make a move, the second round of salvo fires came, and this time because of the close distance between the two sides, the number of cavalry hit reached 100. The one who ran at the front, Niu Lu Ezhen, waved his arms and attracted 3 bullets for him, and his whole body was shattered by three 18.5mm bullets, and with the degree of fragmentation of his body, even his own mother may not be able to recognize it.
This fierce shooting, to these Jurchen cavalry heart blow, seeing that the opposite side of the Xuan army is already in the third loading, if the horse speed has already been raised, this 300 meters will only take half a minute, but their starting distance is too close, so far the speed has not been raised to the maximum, according to the current speed, the opposite side can at least 2 rounds of salvo, then there will be no more people left on their side, there are still a large number of enemy troops outside, and there are fewer people can not rush out.
While these people were struggling, the third salvo came, and this time a full seven or eighty cavalry fell, and less than half of the remaining Jurchens were left.
Finally, just as the Xuan army was aiming and preparing to fire a fourth salvo, the cavalry stopped their horses and fell to their knees.
"Give these captives to the militia and bring them back to Uiju."
"Yes, don't you need an interrogation?"
"Let's not meddle in this regard, the confidential department will send people back together, and everyone will do their jobs."
"Understood."
At this point, this battle was over, and the Xuan army easily occupied the Houjin camp, which had besieged them for more than three months, thus turning this battle into the counteroffensive stage.
Because the pressure on the transportation of grain and grass is too great, it is not certain when there will be an accident, and the Xuan army will fall into a situation of running out of food, so this time, the Xuan army will no longer hold the city, and the detachment of 35,000 people is already on the way to Anzhou.
On this side, the headquarters led by Chen Xin also has to move forward at the point in time and join the detachment, after all, there are only 15,000 people in the headquarters along the way, if it is left alone, maybe the cavalry led by Suke Saha will calculate the gap and eat his own force.
On the one hand, the staff officers summarized the various messages sent by the falcon, and then made a map, planning the route and time of the march, and the others hurried to rest.
After searching the entire camp, there were only less than 40,000 catties of food, that is, less than 10 days' rations for 3,000 people, Chen Xin was finally convinced that Houjin was really about to run out of food.
This is good news, which shows that once the war falls into an unfavorable situation, as long as the Xuan army can find a piece of land to do a good job of defense, Houjin will retreat due to lack of food.
This is really not Chen Xin's concern, but Chen Xin has a deep understanding of the power of cavalry in this era. In particular, there were a large number of Jurchen cavalry in the Later Jin army, and the Later Jin also had a very perverted use of cavalry - the whole army assault.
This all-army assault is not the real name of this tactic, and Houjin does not have the habit of naming tactics, but Chen Xin casually gave such a name for convenience.
In history, the Houjin side used this tactic many times, won many battles, and the closest to the present should be the Battle of Anju against Korea, the Jurchen cavalry used this tactic to fight more with less, braving the birds, artillery, bows and arrows of the Korean army, and defeated the entire 20,000 Korean army within a quarter of an hour.
In the three fortresses before, because it was not suitable for cavalry to exert their power, so in the battle for more than three months, Houjin only lost a few thousand cavalry, plus the previous ones that were cleaned up piecemeal, Sukh Saha still had at least about 20,000 cavalry left in his hands.
20,000 cavalry, if you are really willing to come to a whole army assault without remembering the damage, then there is no Makqin, and there is no Gatling's Xuan army, only relying on human lives to fight, but at least half of the Xuan army is a newly formed army, it is impossible to withstand such a bloody battle, and a third is a militia, Chen Xin does not believe that they can face a large-scale cavalry charge without collapsing.
Now, knowing that Houjin is really short of food, Chen Xin has the last hint of security, at least to maintain a draw. With this guarantee, Chen Xin was able to give it a go and have a decisive battle with Houjin, ending the lengthy battle that had been as long as four months after the preparation period.
On the third day of the second lunar month, the Houjin Advance and the Xuanjun Detachment Advance met in the area between Anzhou and Suchuan, and the two sides had several tentative confrontations, and after issuing an early warning to the rear troops, they each retreated 5 miles back to camp.
Su Ke Saha was naturally very happy when he learned that the army of the Xuan Army South Road had actually come to send him to death, and immediately ordered the army to pull out the camp and quickly move closer to the front.
After Chen Xin's headquarters learned that the Houjin army had left Anzhou in a hurry, he also saw the opportunity and occupied Anzhou with a cavalry raid.
It was only at this time that Sukh Saha realized that the empty city plan he had arranged in the north had not been able to hide from Chen Xin, and his first reaction was not that he was surrounded, but that he was ashamed and angry.
Sukh Saha angrily overturned, "How did he Chen Xin see through my clever plan?" I arranged it seamlessly, how could I not even deceive him for a day? ”
The people in the hall did not dare to speak.
Sukh Saha was even more annoyed when he saw this situation, thinking about the time when he came out of the prison in South Korea, and then helped An Buyang to master the army step by step, and quickly cleaned up Dajin's traitor Amin, directly destroyed this so-called South Korea, and finally mastered the army of 120,000, all the way with high spirits.
But what about now? After more than three months of fighting, he continued to lose troops and generals, and only 40,000 subordinates were left, and there was no trace of the other troops that were separated.
Sukh Saha looked at the crowd below and felt that everyone was laughing at themselves, laughing at their own incompetence, laughing at their own cleverness.
Now, Sukh Saha really wanted to draw his knife and cut down all the bastards in front of him.
