Chapter 331: A Prayer to the Martyrs
Chen Xin closed his eyes and listened to any faint voice, as if he wanted to know the safety of his comrades.
However, in my mind, I couldn't help but think wildly, if there was moonlight tonight, I am afraid that it would be as bright as day now, right? It's a beautiful view.
Unfortunately, there is hardly a glimmer of light in the sky, so the snow, which normally serves as a reflection plane of light, will not be able to exert its original charm tonight.
Conducting special operations under such weather conditions, sneaking into enemy camps where more than 10,000 cavalry were stationed, and hunting down the enemy's leaders with more than 100 people, I am afraid that they are unique in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.
It's not that Chen Xin is crazy, stupid, or arrogant, Chen Xin did this because the action team members he brought were all from tiger roots, all of them were brave and extraordinary, with unique skills, and most importantly, their night vision was far beyond what ordinary people thought.
In addition, under the heavy snow and strong winds, the arquebuses, artillery, and gunpowder weapons learned from the Ming Dynasty in the Houjin Army could not be fired as long as they were ignited by the arquebus, or by flintlocks.
Hou Jin's good bow and arrow, whether it is a horn bow for riding or a longbow for foot shooting, under the action of the howling and indiscriminate wind, it can't shoot far at all, let alone shoot the target.
In addition, the war horse ridden by the Huaxia Army, the dragon horse is a tall horse of special blood, tall and mighty, fat and strong, and can carry the rider across any complex terrain in the hilly area of Liaodong in a fully loaded state, which ensures the safety of Chen Xin and the others to retreat.
On the periphery, there are more than 1,000 heavily armed soldiers of the Guard Flag Corps, and the defensive positions set up as contact points.
With so many prerequisites, Chen Xin dared to take the number one hundred and ten men and horses to a military camp of more than 10,000 people to rob the camp on a snowy night.
Therefore, this action is by no means a decision made by Chen Xin with a hot head, but a planned action that was decided after careful consideration of life and death, coupled with bold planning.
This feeling is really extremely exciting, which makes everyone present have a little heartbeat faster.
Chen Xin secretly thought to himself, just before the crossing, as introduced in the history books, during World War II, those soldiers in the Soviet-Finnish war rode the wind and snow to get close to the Soviet tanks, and then opened fire.
Soon, the detachment that went to carry out the mission returned, and the smell of blood, after being covered with all the filth by the heavy snow, was more obvious, but it was covered by strong winds, and it seemed to disappear from time to time.
The team continued to move forward, and when they passed by the sentry, Chen Xin clearly saw that this group of Houjin sentinels were blue from the cold, and they still had a strong unwilling face, as if they were nostalgic for something, unwilling to leave the world and go to hell.
Chen Xin only glanced at it slightly, and then looked away, such a corpse had been seen too much in the course of the previous few years of conquest.
Stalin said, "The death of one man is a tragedy, and the death of a million people is only a statistic." ”
Another statesman once said, "If I become king, I must execute a thousand men and a shoe repairer." ”
A reporter immediately asked, "Why did you execute a shoe repairer?" ”
The politician replied, "This is the attitude of the people, who do not care about the life and death of a thousand people, but care so much about one shoe repairer, and this is the so-called individual unique effect." ”
Chen Xin was originally a commoner who grew up in peacetime, and he also had compassion and various degrees of compassion.
However, when he came to the troubled times and looked at the people around him, using force for a ration mixed with wild vegetables and bran, his heart had already changed in the direction of the stone.
When he killed the first innocent person with his own hands for the safety of his brothers, his attitude towards human life was a little numb.
It's not that he has really become hard-hearted, but he knows that he can't stop all this without changing this troubled world and ending those tyrannical publishers.
The dead are the fertilizer that waters the tree of revolution, and only when the tree grows up and can shelter the relatives of the motherland from the wind and rain, can Chen Xin's dusty letter regain the brilliance of humanity.
Now, Chen Xin, who was cold in his heart, only thought about one thing, killing Huang Taiji.
It's just that it's easy to infiltrate, and it's not so easy to find Huang Taiji, how to find this person in the army is a bit difficult for Chen Xin. Although it can't be said to be looking for a needle in a haystack, it is definitely not much simpler.
After all, when there is a war, the commanders of the army will not set their tents in the center, even now, just in the wars of the feudal era.
Under normal circumstances, before the artillery technology reached the level of the First and Second World Wars, the armies were centrally placed, and the warring parties needed to concentrate their forces as much as possible, and when they were engaged, they would create a local superiority in their own forces.
At the beginning of World War I and World War, the army was dispersed, and at that time, the position of a company could be stretched to a 1,400-meter-long front, which was unimaginable in the era of cold weapons.
However, even if the troops in the cold weapon era are concentrated, they will not directly and simply squeeze more than 10,000 people into a fence.
At least it should be divided into more than a dozen large fences, blocking each other and connecting with each other, so that it is a normal wartime camp in the era of cold weapons.
Moreover, in order to prevent the enemy from robbing the camp, the headquarters of the Cold Weapon Age will not be fixed in a symmetrical style to touch a certain place that looks very regular and beautiful.
Their headquarters will choose a location in a huge reserved area according to the formation or inheritance they have learned, and then the surrounding area will be arranged roughly the same as other places, and at a cursory glance, it is basically impossible to see the difference.
Originally, the Houjin army was pampered, since the bloody battle of the Hunhe River met the descendants of the Qi family's army, suffered a big loss, and under the city of Jinzhou, many times to attack the city to no avail, but was injured by the city's cannons Nurhachi, they are the Eight Banners Army, in the field battlefield, almost no excessive losses.
Therefore, in the past, Huang Taiji set up a big camp, which was extremely public, not only his own flag fluttering high, but also the military flags of several flags such as the yellow flag and the yellow flag inlaid with the yellow flag led by him were also placed next to his big tent.
It's a pity that everything was disrupted by the previous artillery fire, and when Huang Taiji ran away, he only brought his own flag, and nothing else.
Moreover, when he ran away, this guy has always been very cautious and has never behaved publicly.
Therefore, this makes it even more difficult to search for Huang Taiji himself.
"For the time being, I can only take one step at a time." Chen Xin frowned when he thought of this, and muttered to himself, "This is the biggest loophole in this operation, bless the martyrs of China, bless me Chen Xin can succeed immediately, junior Chen Xin, I sincerely pray here." ”
