The army stopped and immediately began to take care of the horses.

The Houjin were originally a fishing and hunting people, and were not good at fighting immediately, but under the leadership of a group of careerists such as Nurhachi, this people living in a harsh environment gradually embarked on the road of expansion through war and killing.

They learned how to conduct war on the way to follow the Ming army, and the soldiers learned from the Ming army, formed their own team, and appreciated the benefits of cavalry.

In the confrontation with the Mongols, they got enough horses for them to practice.

Over the past few decades, the Jurchens who originally hunted in the mountains and forests have basically practiced horse kung fu.

This care for war horses is the most basic and important item for the cavalry.

After the Houjin army left enough guard posts, the remaining people loosened the saddle of the war horse, which could relax the war horse to a certain extent, and once something happened, as long as the reins were tightened, they could immediately enter the battle.

Afterwards, the cavalrymen looked for a place where their horses could drink under the light of torches.

However, the horses may have not eaten for a long time, and they were so hungry that they only took a few sips before turning their heads and chewing on the remaining blades of grass on the shore.

The Houjin cavalry hurriedly stopped it, they were not distressed about the weeds that could survive tenaciously in the early winter, but they were concerned about the health of the war horses.

These horses have run for dozens of miles, and they are already sweating, and at this time, the stomachs of the war horses will draw water from the stomach pouch.

If you don't let the circulatory system of the war horse absorb enough water, you will let them eat grass in a hurry, and the water in the forage will be absorbed by the stomach bag, and then the forage in the stomach of the war horse will become dry material.

This is not serious, it just makes the horse uncomfortable for a while, and it is not able to serve, and more seriously, the dry material will continue to be drained of water, and then hardened up into a whole piece that is harder than stone.

At this time, the dry material will block the stomach and intestines of the war horses, and no one can save them unless they are studied.

However, in this era, apart from the United Kingdom of China, where else can have the ability to perform surgery?

Although the Houjin cavalry knew that the war horses were hungry, for the sake of their health, they could only let them nibble a little bit to relieve their hunger, and then forcefully deflected the horses' heads and forced the war horses to drink.

It wasn't until the owners of these war horses estimated that the water intake of the war horses reached the standard line, and then they let go of the horse's head that was forced to be pressed, and took out soybeans and other things from the small pockets of the war horses and fed the war horses.

At this time, it was already winter, there had been a heavy snowfall, there was basically no fresh grass on the ground, and even by the lake, there were only some small patches of grass that were half yellow and not green, which were not enough for more than 10,000 war horses.

Fortunately, the cavalry were all veterans, and before they fled, they all took some necessary things to escape, and soybean bags were one of them, and now, it really came in handy.

It's a pity that Chen Xin was not prepared to let these Houjin cavalry stop.

Just as they were drinking their horses, a hunting team composed of elite non-commissioned officers under Chen Xin's command had slowly approached.

With a covert sound of breaking the air, dozens of heavy arrows shot out of the darkness and hit the Houjin guard posts on the perimeter.

These archers, very confident, one person and one arrow, never let go more, and after shooting, they quickly turned over their horses and led the Chinese cavalry slowly lurking behind them, and continued to advance.

When they were about 100 meters away from Houjin's troops, with a sound of metal rubbing, the officers leading the team each opened the large-diameter pocket watches that had been distributed.

When the time came to the predetermined place, the officers silently cleaned up, and the whole army got on their horses and drew their rifles.

There is no need for passwords, and there is no need for the whole team, and thousands of tactical movements have been integrated into the bones of these Chen Xin's guards officers and soldiers.

Small steps, trots, acceleration, constant speed, a series of actions, the cavalry of the guard flag team did it smoothly and without mistakes.

When the galloping sound of war horses came from the periphery, Huang Taiji and the surrounding officers were full of surprise.

The sound of horses' hooves is a little too close, isn't it?

In a panic, along with the outlying areas, there were Houjin soldiers shouting, "Huaxia cavalry." "The Houjin army in the whole recuperation is going crazy.

While scolding the periphery of the guard posts where they died, how could they let the Huaxia cavalry get so close to launch a charge, they hurriedly tried to find a way to save their lives.

The Houjin troops on the periphery know that it is too late to tighten the reins of the horse now, with the speed of the cavalry, judging from the sound, it will not take a few breaths to crash into it, and now the only way to save their lives is for everyone to gather together and use long weapons to block and intimidate the enemy's war horses, so that there may be a glimmer of life.

The Houjin army, who was resting inside, immediately took care of their horses, hoping that the outer clans would be able to hold back the enemy and buy them enough time to counterattack.

However, who is the periphery and who belongs to the interior, the Houjin troops present, except for some of the people who are really on the front line of the outer circle and are about to meet the heavy attack of the Huaxia cavalry, the other Houjin troops all have different opinions.

In other words, the idea is good, but it cannot be realized. At a distance of about a few hundred meters from the periphery to the interior, the Houjin side was directly confused.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Chinese cavalry divided into three routes and charged from west to east.

In just one round, it smashed the defensive front of the outermost circle of the Houjin Army and rushed into the still rather scattered military formation.

The rifle roared violently, sending out a barrage of bullets, smashing one after another of the Jurchens who bravely recoiled, knocking them upside down and even splitting them into two ends.

The Houjin officers in the center were even more flustered, and some of them were constantly scolding the slackness of the guard posts, claiming that they must severely punish the soldiers and officers who put up the guards. The other part of the officers shouted that there should be no chaos, and at the same time tried to organize the ranks.

With the efforts of these people, the center of the temporary rest camp of Houjin, which covers a large area, finally organized a counterattacking cavalry force, and these cavalry quickly rushed out of the trail set aside, ready to drag the Huaxia cavalry, waiting for the large army to get ready, and together to destroy the invading enemy.

It's a pity that when they rushed out, the Huaxia army had already sounded the order, and all the cavalry turned around and rushed out from the place where they had just entered, and quickly disappeared into the vast night.

The cavalry who rushed up to delay time on the Houjin side were cruising on the battlefield full of corpses in a daze, completely at a loss, they had no overnight combat training, and they were completely unfamiliar with it.

Huang Taiji had a black face, when did the Han people dare to use cavalry to attack their own cavalry, and, looking at the number of the Huaxia army just now, it definitely did not exceed a thousand, such a small number of people, who attacked tens of thousands of cavalry, actually let them retreat, Huang Taiji felt a huge sense of humiliation.

Even with him, the previous defeat also surfaced in his heart again, all of which made him angry, and he couldn't care about running away, he ordered loudly, "Chase up, catch up, kill those bastards who dare to offend the majesty of the Golden Iron Horseman, and I will sacrifice their heads to our dead warriors." ”

A Jurchen beside him hurriedly persuaded him, "Great Khan, have you forgotten, we also sent several teams of cavalry to pursue the attacking Huaxia cavalry, but until now, none of them have returned, I'm afraid, the Huaxia people are just waiting for us to divide our troops." ”

Hearing this, Huang Taiji's angry brain temporarily sobered up, silently lowered his head for a while, and then ordered dejectedly, "Forget it, don't chase, it's important to hurry, order all departments, strengthen precautions." ”
