Chapter 227: A Sudden Decisive Battle

At the same time that the detachment of the Xuan Army, which was based in Suchuan, was preparing to close the door and fight the dogs and have an ambush battle, the Houjin camp made another move. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the 603 heights, several large telescopes were set up on tripods and were fixed at angles, Tian Jianwu's eyes were firmly fixed in the direction of one of the telescopes, and his mouth kept counting "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, record, 6 Niulu flags, came out of the West Gate, look at their direction, I am the second Ao, that is the direction of the No. 2 outpost." ”

At this moment, the observer of another telescope whispered, "Second Lieutenant, you come and see this." ”

"Fuwa, you come and stare at this telescope." Tian Jianwu asked people to continue to stare at Ximen, and he ran to the side of the talking soldier, "What's wrong?" ”

"A group of Houjin troops also came out of the east gate, and the Jurchen cavalry company with a servant army of about 2,000 people. But it's not going in the direction of Post 3, I'm a little unsure, so I'll let you come and have a look. ”

When Tian Jianwu heard this, he immediately leaned over to the observation position of this telescope and looked at it carefully.

"You're right, this road doesn't lead to Post 3, they must have another purpose."

"Second Lieutenant, South Gate, another enemy has come out. At least 3,000 people. It seems to be to reinforce Post 3. The observer of the third telescope also shouted.

To the west, to the east, and now to the south, this is a three-way attack, plus the previous more than 4,000 horses, at least 11,000 men have been dispatched, almost a quarter of their total.

Houjin is going to make a big move. Tian Jianwu's heart kept ringing alarm bells.

"Second Lieutenant, the troops have begun to gather near the south gate again, this time it is still 3,000 people."

Tian Jianwu was even more puzzled, however, now is not the time to solve the puzzle, "Report to the command immediately, quickly." ”

The Xuanjun command headquarters, which received the report from the "Sky Eye" observation post, also immediately became vigilant.

Houjin's oil-filling tactics are completely unreasonable.

Even if the area around here is mountainous and hilly, and it is not suitable for a large army to deploy, it will not be enough to divide the army into so many parts.

The Xuan Army was able to use squad tactics because the Xuan Army system now uses long-range firearms and weapons as the main means of combat, and most importantly, the Xuan Army has the Eagle Falcon as a means of communication, which can form close ties between various units and command headquarters and give full play to the combat effectiveness of each detachment.

But the Later Jin, who are still in the era of cold weapons, disperse their troops and have no effective means of long-range communication, aren't they looking for death?

However, no matter what, since the enemy has already made a move, then the Xuan army must also respond, and there are still thousands of Xuan troops on the front line who are entangled with the enemy army, and it is impossible for the Xuan army to give up their troops.

Chen Xin pointed to the enemy camp on the map, and kept knocking on the table with his fingers, "Order the 2,000 cavalry of the headquarters to dispatch, make every effort to clean up the enemy sentry between the headquarters and the enemy army, and try to get as close as possible to the enemy camp, I want to know what kind of medicine is sold in the enemy's gourd." ”

After signing the order, he continued: "At the same time, inform the detachment that their mobile units and ambush units will be out of the battle with the enemy as soon as possible. ”

But this time, when he signed the pen, Chen Xin hesitated.

The big cat asked with concern, "General, what's wrong?" ”

"Giving this kind of order may put the front-line soldiers in a hesitant situation, what is disengagement, if there is an exchange of fire in front, I am afraid that we will not be able to retreat if we want to, but the enemy will send cavalry."

After explaining, Chen Xin said to the herald, "This order is invalid. Tell the front line to fully implement the plan to close the door and fight the dogs. Then order the detachment to be ready for reinforcements at any time, and send a copy of the information on the enemy's dispatch. ”

More than an hour later, the cavalry from the front of the headquarters sent a report that at the junction of the two sides, all the Houjin army sentinels were about to collapse at the touch of a button, and they did not have any will to fight.

Immediately afterwards, news came from the "Sky Eye" that the whole army was assembling in the Houjin camp, all the supplies were being loaded, and the enemy army was assembled in three parts, which seemed to be dividing the troops.

At this time, Chen Xin finally knew that Houjin was going to make a desperate bet. I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, it seems that Houjin's food has really been consumed.

"Let the Eye of Heaven lock down which team Sukh Saha is in, and then assign 5 Falcons to the Eye of Heaven observation post, I want to know the enemy's movements at all times.

The enemy army is divided into several roads, and the number and composition of each road, I need to know all of them.

Notify all the men and detachments of the headquarters, and the whole army will assemble and prepare for a decisive battle.

Take out all the plans we have made before, and when the information comes, we can make a choice. ”

In the 3rd year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty and the 4th year of the Later Jin Tiancong, that is, in 1630 AD, on the first day of the first month of March, the Xuan army was attacked by the Xuan army before and after, and the more than 40,000 Houjin troops who were besieged in the mountains of Anzhou and Suchuan were all camped.

The Later Jin army was divided into three armies, of which 8,000 Jurchen cavalry on the left took the east and went south near Mofang. 3,000 Jurchen cavalry in the middle road, leading 15,000 servant troops, came out of the mountain from the No. 3 post of the Xuan army and marched towards Suchuan. On the right, 2,000 Jurchen cavalry and 10,000 servant troops made a detour from near the West Korean Gulf to the south.

After research, the Xuan army believed that there were several high mountains on the route taken by the enemy army on the left road, and the natural barrier separated them from the middle and right roads, but they had no infantry and the strongest mobility.

There are mostly hills between the middle and right roads, although the roads are scarce, but once there is an incident, the two sides can still get closer to each other at any time.

The number of enemy troops in the middle did not add to the previous 1,000 outflanking troops and 3,000 forward troops already in the encirclement, the 1,000 outflanking troops at post 3 were wiped out, and the 3,000 forward troops were also resisting the attack of the Xuan army with great difficulty.

Since the detachment in the middle has already fought with Houjin, it is necessary to concentrate on destroying the enemy forces in the middle lane.

However, in the mountainous areas, a large number of troops cannot be put on the table, and it is still necessary to select the combat troops, and the advance team has already dispatched the Fifth Mixed Brigade, the Sixth Mixed Brigade, and 2,000 new troops, totaling 5,000 troops.

Then the headquarters will bring all the regular troops and 6,000 armed alert troops, plus some troops directly under the headquarters, enough to gather 10,000 people, plus 5,000 people of the detachment, that is, 15,000 men, more than enough to deal with the army in the middle lane.

As for the enemy's army on the right, the terrain there was flatter than the middle road, and in order to prevent the right side from reinforcing the center, let the remaining new soldiers and horses of the detachment and the 2,000 cavalry of the headquarters go to drag the enemy army.

Although the combat effectiveness of the new army is very weak compared to the regular army of the Xuan army, it is also the combination of the Jurchen and Korean servant army, and there is still no problem in holding back the enemy army, and it would be better if the enemy army along the way could be eliminated.
