Chen Xin ordered a temporary rest 30 miles away from the enemy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under the guidance of the falcons of the air reconnaissance platoon, the reconnaissance platoon attacked in all directions to attack the night sent by the North Korean army and obscure the battlefield vision of the North Korean army.

On the other side, they sent people to report to Sukh Sakha in the rear that there were 20,000 Korean troops in Anju.

Early the next morning.

On a blackened wooden board, Chen Xin counted the number of North Koreans who had been strangled from last night to now, frowned and asked, "What are these North Koreans doing?" It took 20,000 troops to send out a dozen nights without collecting it? What can such a person do? ”

All the officers were puzzled, and no one could speak, yes, the camp set up by the 20,000 troops was 5 miles in size, what could they do if they didn't collect it for more than a dozen nights?

Chen Xin didn't expect them to answer, and then asked Lakshin, the platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon, "If you don't collect a single one at night and don't go back, what is the movement of the North Korean army?" ”

Laksin scratched his head, "My lord, I also feel very puzzled, there has been no movement in the camp over there, as if nothing has happened, this is really strange." ”

Chen Xin felt a little irritable.

According to the intelligence of the air reconnaissance platoon, Sukh Saha will be there at noon.

In the rear, the army of the Jin Kingdom has slaughtered the third city, and Amin has received the military information reported by Chen Xin to Sukh Saha, and the army is gathering, and about 20,000 men and horses will be able to arrive here tomorrow night.

But now the North Korean side has not taken any action, and it is really a person who is in a hurry.

Chen Xindu wanted to rush to the enemy's tent, grabbed the shoulders of the chief general of the North Korean army and roared, "This is a war, can you take a snack, the enemy is in front of you." ”

In the end, Chen Xin stomped his foot and decided, taking advantage of the fact that Sukh Saha had not yet arrived, he personally took the warriors who could ride horses to fill the enemy camp.

Of course, it was not Chen Xin who was looking for death, he had already found a weakness of the North Korean army based on the intelligence of the air reconnaissance platoon.

It is clear that the North Korean army is not part of the same unit, but is made up of many small units, and the camp tents are set up in a haphazard manner.

In the easternmost part of the camp, there was a small army of about 500 people who had arrived only last night, and because they arrived too late, they slept directly by the fence on the east side of the camp, and did not even build a guardrail for defense.

Aren't you not moving in North Korea? Didn't you North Korea know that your night was cleaned up? Didn't you North Korea send only a dozen sentinels to an army of 20,000?

"I'll stab you to see if you haven't learned your lesson."

Chen Xin decided to take the cavalry to fight and withdraw quickly, and clean up the small troops that did not have any sense of crisis, which could not only make a contribution to the Jin Kingdom, but also alert these lax bastards.

Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Hey! I'm enough, too, I'm really worried about you North Korea. ”

After more than ten days of storming the city, Chen Xin had already equipped all the soldiers with a horse and a camel for livestock.

Since according to the regulations, only 40 horses can be used for a cow, and the surplus must be handed over (Note 1), Chen Xin collected a large number of donkeys, mules, cattle, and other animals that did not need to be handed over.

For riding horses, more than 40 good horses were selected and distributed to the reconnaissance platoon in the army, and the rest took advantage of the fact that it was wartime and no one came to collect the horses, so they were divided and let the whole army practice riding.

It's just that the time is still short, and there is no big effect.

At this time, in Chen Xin's army, if he said that he wanted to find infantry to charge into battle, it was to grab a handful, and after seeing so many battles, even the baggage soldiers dared to raise their swords and charge.

But if you want to find some people who can charge on horseback, it is only the 20 people in Lakshin's reconnaissance platoon.

As for the others, although those who can ride horses can still find people with about 200, the concepts of being able to ride a horse and being able to ride a horse are two completely different concepts. Chen Xin would not be dizzy and took a group of novices who had never charged in a group to play cavalry charge.

Draw out all the fighters who can ride horses, which is basically the first row of each company (the killer platoon).

In addition, Chen Xin dispatched all the horses for this raid, and prepared one man and two horses for the expedition.

So Chen Xin took the four killer platoons and the reconnaissance platoon, as well as more than 400 horses, and set off.

At this time, Chen Xinjun was still far away from the enemy, and everyone was leading horses on foot, and their personal equipment was also placed on the back of another horse.

After walking for more than two hours, he came to a small hill 3 miles outside the enemy camp and stopped.

Chen Xin convened a meeting of all the officers again and laid out the tactics in detail for a while.

After each of them had repeated it, he ordered everyone to put on their armor and mount their horses.

Chen Xin looked at the cotton armor, piercing armor, scale armor, chain mail, and mountain armor mixed together in the team, and couldn't help sighing, "There is a long way to go in army construction."

Then he shook his head, put aside his distracting thoughts, entered a state of readiness, and with a wave of his hand, the reconnaissance platoon went ahead, and the rest of the people followed in the order of formation.

At this time, the distance between the enemy and us is three miles, which is more than 1 kilometer.

Chen Xinjun's more than 200 people first formed a team at slow pace (Note 2).

Because the team's riding training was not enough, Chen Xin lined up all the soldiers in a row for fear that a horse in front would miss his front hooves and affect the people behind, and also in order to show that the cavalry was outnumbered and increased deterrent.

Then, more than 400 horses were 1 mile away from the enemy, listening to Chen Xin's whistle, they accelerated together and began to switch to a fast pace.

In order to tighten the formation, the officers under Chen Xin continued to adjust their speed after changing the fast pace, so that everyone could basically stay on the same line.

As for whether it is a straight line, Chen Xin said that he has no time to pay attention to the broken thing now, and the horse under his crotch is not a war horse in the first place, but he just looks at the tall guy who grows tall, so he chose it, and now in the charge of hundreds of horses, this guy is actually completely high.

Chen Xin couldn't help but start to compete with the horses under his crotch with all his might.

Chen Xin wanted to control the horse with all his might, and at the same time, he also had to pay attention to the distance between the two sides, under the helmet and armor, he was already sweating profusely, and a few drops of sweat fell into his right eye, and he couldn't help but close one eye.

But Chen Xin did not dare to relax his calculation of distance.

Now this seemingly majestic charge is actually pretending, once it enters a hundred paces, Chen Xin will order to slow down and stop.

Otherwise, if you rush up like this, it will definitely be a tragic car accident scene.

Chen Xin just closed one eye, while barking with the horse, while calculating the distance, seeing that it was about to reach 100 steps, but before Chen Xin gave the order to slow down.

That small group of Korean royal troops did something crazy that Chen Xin couldn't believe.

Note 1:

On the 14th day of November in the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven, Nurhachi ordered that "in Liaodong and Haizhou, each Niu Lu shall raise forty horses, and the rest of the horses shall be returned." ・・・・・・”

Note 2:

Cavalry charges are divided into different paces such as slow pace, fast pace, galloping, etc., and the charge is different from riding a horse in peacetime, and the speed is much slower.

In the 18th century, slow steps were 5.8 to 7.7 km/h, fast steps were 7.8 to 14 km/h, and flying speeds were 13.3 to 19 km/h.

In mid-19th-century documents, the speed of the flight was between 18 and 21 km/h.
