Chapter 632: Swift Raid and Evacuation

The Tartar archers who suddenly emerged from the Houjin earthen wall did not surprise Chen Xin and the members of the commando team.

After all, the enemy has a huge manpower of nearly 200,000. Although most of them were slaves and auxiliaries, at least 85,000 of them were combatants, and the rest were all capable of serving as cannon fodder to keep guns out.

Under such a huge gap in the number of enemies and us, even the Huaxia Army, which launched a surprise attack tonight, chose to launch a feint attack on all fronts, attracting the attention of a large part of the enemy army.

However, it is completely impossible to transfer all the enemy troops on the main attack point that is finally chosen, which is unrealistic, and the Huaxia army also knows this, and the soldiers will never expect that the surprise attack will be smooth sailing.

However, fortunately, because the rammed earth wall on the Houjin side has not been completely completed, at least because the top has not been repaired, they have no way to use the power of archery on the slope.

Those archers could only venture to stand on top of the earthen wall and expose their bodies to shoot at the Huaxia army.

The special agent platoon, which was responsible for covering in the rear, attacked first with rifles in their hands, and after a volley of guns, they knocked over most of the first batch of gold archers on the opposite side at the top of the earthen wall.

Because they were armed with pump-action rifles, several spy platoons actually fired a barrage several times that of ordinary infantry. The combat sappers armed with short rifles in front took advantage of the cover of this round of rifle salvos and successfully rushed to the bottom of the rammed earth wall of Houjin.

Immediately afterwards, he unscrewed the lid of the grenade, pulled out the fuse cable in his hand, and rows of large grenades filled with black powder were thrown behind the rammed earth wall.

In the Liaodong region, the Houjin army and the Huaxia army have been fighting each other for more than two years, and the Tartars are already familiar with the grenades of the Huaxia army.

With a scream from behind the rammed earth wall, a moment later, behind the rammed earth wall was a burst of firelight flashing continuously, and dozens of steel balls were loaded under the outer iron shell, like a hedgehog-like grenade, split into countless fragments, large and small, sweeping across the area behind the rammed earth wall.

Under the reflection of the torches, it can be seen that there are about three gaps in the main attack area of the Huaxia Army tonight. The combat sappers threw a dense barrage of grenades towards the retreat.

Then, a large number of torches were thrown into the gaps, the path of the attack was clearly illuminated by the light of the fire, and the assault team swarmed through the passage in the confusion caused by the explosion of grenades on the enemy lines.

The sound of short rifle fire rang out repeatedly, and the combat sappers behind him, along with the rest of the commando team, entered the rammed earth wall.

After the short rifles of the combat sappers at the head were shot, they would immediately take turns loading with their comrades, but because the short rifles could only be fired single, they did not fire easily, but kept throwing grenades into the dense places of the Jin soldiers behind.

Behind them was the special service platoon sent out by each battalion, and the role of pump-action rifles in this kind of melee was really huge, but unfortunately, it was still a problem with the material, the barrel could not continue to fire, and there was no way to guarantee the continuity of fire.

For a long time, the Huaxia Army has been familiar with the data of various equipment, and now under this commando mode, it is natural that the short rifle is the main attack, and the pump-action rifle fills the leaks, and the entire commando team cooperates very tacitly.

The assault team caused a huge melee in the middle of the yellow flag, short rifles and pump-action rifles, in this close-range night battle, the swift blows caused the collapse of the rammed earth wall behind the Jin soldiers and clothing, and the combat sappers charged along the rammed earth wall towards the flanks.

At this point, it was necessary to expand the results of the battle as soon as possible to pursue the enemy army, and the short rifles were fired, and some of the combat engineers brandished the swords they carried behind their backs and began to expand the results of the battle.

They fought bloody battles with the Tartars, who were still resisting, and covered the other comrades to reload their ammunition.

As for the team formed by the special service platoons, they advanced directly to the depth of the enemy forces behind the rammed earth wall, attacking the Uzhen Chaoha stationed there and the artillery they used.

The fighters of several spy platoons attacked fiercely, and after the 8 rounds of ammunition in the barrel were fired in one go, because the barrel needed to be cooled, the soldiers did not stop loading ammunition, and rushed directly to the queue of Wuzhen Chaoha with bayonets.

The fighting spirit of these Houjin's coated slave soldiers is extremely weak, and because it is now night, the base of the slaves' night blindness is very large, and they are simply vulnerable in the night battle.

Wu Zhenchao was caught off guard, and there was no way to even light the fire rope, and in just 10 minutes, it was completely dispersed, and in the dark night, a group of panicked "blind people" who couldn't see anything naturally trampled on each other, causing countless deaths and injuries

Chen Xin was on the head of Lushun City, looking at the various fires that were constantly flashing in the direction of the enemy's army, and listening to the screams of the soldiers of the Houjin Army coming back from the wind, his spirit finally relaxed a little.

Chen Xin felt that something was wrong with his current state, he actually thought that the sound of guns and cannons was so pleasant, as if war had become a kind of enjoyment at this moment.

····················

The night attack lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and the men and horses on the side of the Houjin army finally clarified the direction of the Huaxia army's main attack tonight, so they immediately mobilized a large number of men and horses and counterattacked to their own middle area.

At this time, the combat combat engineer company of the commando team had successfully expanded its results, destroying two small-caliber copper infantry guns arranged on the front line, and several special service platoons also destroyed several field guns of chaotic models on the Houjin side.

At this time, the soldiers of the assault team did not wait for the Houjin army to counterattack, and withdrew from the rammed earth wall defense line built by the Houjin army together with the troops responsible for receiving the rear of the palace.

The most exaggerated thing is that in such a hurried battle, the soldiers also cut back more than 100 Tartar heads, and even the bodies of their own sacrificial comrades.

Overall, this nighttime surprise attack was as violent and sudden as a storm.

The Huaxia army made full use of the shortcomings of the Houjin army's rammed earth wall defense line, which was far from being perfected, and gave a fatal blow to several Niu Lu men and horses with yellow flags led by Abatai.

The soldiers of the Houjin army stationed on the entire defense line were also disturbed all night, because of the continuous high mental tension, and the next day, the Houjin army was unable to launch an effective offensive.
