Chapter 190: Hiding Clumsy
In the next few days, Houjin's large army of more than 60,000 people began to set up camp 10 kilometers away, and there was no major friction between them and the three fortresses of the Xuan army, but there were no less than 100 exchanges between the reconnaissance and search forces and the other party's reconnaissance cavalry.

Of course, there was no major friction, and it did not include the 2,000 servant troops that Chen Xin deliberately put between Fort No. 1 and Fort No. 3. With the help of the Rangers, the heroines of the Armed Alert Force greeted the former South Korean soldiers, and after two days of encirclement and interception, most of them were killed or wounded, and most of them appeared in the mines of the Xuan Army.
These people were indeed deliberately let go by Chen Xin, but it was not like what several officers on the Houjin side thought, Chen Xin was luring Suke Saha to send a large army through here, in fact, Chen Xin was taking advantage of Houjin's cunning impression of himself, putting on such a look of inviting the king into the urn, deliberately scaring the Houjin army, so that they were unwilling to rush into his hinterland with a loss of troops.
The administrative region of Hanbei, the hinterland of his side, not only has hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land and a large number of water conservancy facilities, but also has an astonishing number of factories and various technicians, which are the most important things for Xuanjun.
Although the artillery between the two forts can bring great damage to the enemy when the enemy passes, the slow rate of fire of the front-loading artillery of this era, coupled with the inability to use scattered bullets at long distances, cannot completely prevent most of the enemy from rushing through this section of less than 1 kilometer of fire with solid iron round bullets.
Once the Houjin army sent more than 20,000 cavalry to drive straight in, it would cause irreparable huge losses to the Xuan army.
Otherwise, even the auspicious clothes were copied, and the artillery position was only covered, how could Xuan Jun not be, so all of this was just deliberately displayed by Chen Xin.
Seeing that the enemy army was finally temporarily frightened, Chen Xin did not relax at all, because the next battle was the most test of the quality of both the enemy and us.
It was until the third day. Early in the morning, the alarm bell, which had not responded for several days, suddenly sounded, and Chen Xin dressed neatly, draped a black coat over his winter military uniform, and climbed the tower again.
Through the large telescopes set up, it is possible to see the dense crowd of black pressure in the distance. At the forefront were all the people in the neighborhood.
It is also the most common and effective way to siege the city by the army with corrupt military discipline in this era, driving away a large number of people near the local city, allowing them to take the lead, fill in the trenches, moats, and put the ladder on the head of the city.
Once the enemy's defenders, because of the unwillingness of the villagers, they can easily break through the enemy's fortified cities.
Even if the enemy is not soft and drives away a large number of civilians, it can also play a role in consuming the enemy's materials and manpower, and can greatly reduce the casualties of the besieging side.
Fortunately, Chen Xin chose to go out of his own jurisdiction, more than 50 kilometers forward, and built a fortress in the important place in the non-Xuan army occupied area, plus in recent years, the Xuan army has vigorously immigrated from the Ming Dynasty, and most of the militia are Han Chinese, and the Korean people here have nothing to do with it, so there is no need to worry about the relatives and friends of the soldiers here.
As the most prominent fortress in the south, No. 1 is the first level that the enemy has to solve, not to mention that Chen Xin is inside, as long as he takes here, he can basically end the battle. Therefore, the enemy army came straight towards Fort No. 1, but two small groups of cavalry were divided to monitor Fort No. 2 and Fort No. 3.
In the past few years, because of the construction of a large number of warships and large sailing ships, the Xuan army has purchased timber in batches near the northern administrative region of Hanbei, and has cut down all the big trees within a hundred kilometers near the fortress.
The Korean people at the front of the Houjin procession just carried ladders used to climb over the fence and baskets filled with earth and stones to fill the trenches.
Behind these ordinary people were Houjin soldiers armed with bows and arrows, bird guns, carrying guns, pushing small Franc machine guns, and walking Houjin soldiers, a third of them wore a variety of half-length armor, and most of them had no armor.
Behind these infantry is the cavalry of the press, these cavalry are wearing their own armor, but the style is still very messy, but almost all of them are wearing full-body armor.
At the back was a row of sparse heavy armored cavalry, these people were wearing three layers of heavy armor, and their expressions were arrogant, and they seemed to be the strongest combat force in Houjin.
When the enemy army reached 5 kilometers in front of Fort No. 1, they slowly stopped under the order, and then walked out of a group of people at the front of the queue, only to see them escorting dozens of soldiers wearing Houjin military uniforms and combing braids, forcing these people to kneel at the front of the queue.
After Chen Xin watched these people read out a document, he drew his knife and killed the dozens of Houjin soldiers on the spot, and then, with a burst of drums, the array began to advance again.
Han Da also saw this scene with a telescope, and asked in a somewhat hesitant tone, "General, who did they kill?" Could it be a surrender from South Korea? ”
Chen Xin thought for a moment and shook his head. "No, if it is a surrender, they should kill the sacrificial flag when they set off, or when they get close, kill us, but now that the two sides are more than 5 kilometers apart, the enemy does not know that we are looking forward to the telescope, so there is only one possibility to do this."
"What is it?"
"They are killing their own people, it is possible that the rout soldiers who were beaten away by us three days ago, or the soldiers who violated military discipline in a few days, they are marching the law and intimidating their own people."
"Oh, it's good that it's not our people."
"Get ready for battle, Sukh Saha has sent so many people at once, looking at the enemy's posture, he is thinking that he will bulldoze us in one wave."
The big cat snorted disdainfully on the side, "One wave will bulldoze us?" Has Sukh Saha been in prison for a long time and has a problem with his brain? ”
Chen Xin smiled and put down the binoculars, "This is thanks to the comrades of the Confidential Division, who have done a good job of keeping us confidential in recent years, if you don't personally participate, can you imagine our current development?" ”
The big cat shook his head affirmatively, "Indeed, if it weren't for the subtle efforts of the past four years, I really wouldn't have imagined that I could still fight like this, it seems that I have wronged Suke Saha." ”
Today's officer on duty asked, "General, do you still need to hide today?" ”
"Except for which 75mm breech gun is not allowed to shoot, there is nothing to hide, but today you want to kill the enemy to the greatest extent at one time, you go and arrange it."
"Yes." The officer on duty turned and walked out of the room.
