Chapter 341: Empathy
The enemy troops in a small group were all frightened away by the sound of Chen Xin and others' horses' hooves, but there were always some people who were not afraid of death and wanted to challenge the unknown.
Therefore, just as Chen Xin and all the commandos of the four detachments gathered together were expanding the scope of the riot towards the periphery, a group of people rushed out from the firelight not far away.
Chen Xin was not afraid, and rushed over as soon as he turned his horse's head, and neither side used long-range weapons.
On the side of the Houjin army, it is because of the heavy snowstorm tonight, the snow is flying, and you can't see clearly after more than 10 steps, and you can't aim at all, and if you shoot indiscriminately, when the wind is howling and blowing, the bow and arrow can't shoot far at all.
When the cavalry is still hedging, or facing the cavalry attack, using the bow and arrow within 10 steps has only one end, that is, the enemy is not necessarily the same, and your own side will definitely be knocked away.
Some of the Houjin troops who used firearms were even worse, and in this weather situation, the arquebuses of the arquebuses could not be lit at all, let alone go to battle.
On the commando side, although they were not carrying the flintlock rifles used by the infantry battalions, they used the best pump-action rifles in the kingdom. However, they can't just open fire.
This is because of this, the camp of the Houjin army at that time was quite large, and most of the people did not know where the enemy existed, which was just convenient for their own side to fish in troubled waters, but once the guns were fired, they were showing the enemy the way, such a stupid thing, before encountering the necessary situation, it could not be done.
Therefore, the two sides tacitly understood that no one used bows and arrows and rifles to shoot at each other, but only used cold weapons to engage in the most fierce confrontation.
The cavalry on the side of the Houjin army took out the tiger guns and sticks they carried with them, and some of the Houjin troops, who were relatively well-prepared, also took out some iron bones, axes and other things from the blanket and threw them in advance.
However, what the Jin army on the opposite side could think of, how could these old non-commissioned officers of the assault team not think of it, they used the cavalry shields that had been prepared long ago, and on the other hand, from the back waist of the tactical vest with bulletproof steel plates, pulled out the heptagonal pyramid that was popular in the army that year.
This kind of steel awl, which weighs about half a catty, is a powerful weapon specially distributed to soldiers when Chen Xin first established the army, in order to make up for the lack of musket rate of fire in close combat.
This kind of weapon, the accuracy is good, the lethality is also very fierce, some good soldiers, can use this heptagonal pyramid to quickly kill the enemy within 15 meters, the most important thing, with a special hidden weapon bag, the heptagonal pyramid is extremely fast, skilled hands can do two shots a second.
The commandos also developed a habit, and subconsciously took action, and they didn't look at how many people were killed and injured, and what the exchange ratio was, so they pulled out their sabers casually.
Then, the two sides staggered in an instant, and the heavy weapons of the Houjin army exchanged blood and bones with the sabers of the assault team.
Then, part of the enemy broke away and prepared to reorganize the team to charge again, but there was also a part of the Houjin cavalry, which was actually blocked by the cluttered remains of the camp on the ground, and mixed with the commando, controlling the war horse, and moving with the commando.
Under the dim firelight, the recognition of the enemy and the enemy is not very high, for the commandos wearing cloaks, the ordinary Houjin soldiers may not be able to identify, only some veterans can roughly distinguish in a slightly better light.
However, the people who followed Chen Xin were all veteran non-commissioned officers, one by one, they were old and well-informed, although they were only temporarily formed in a team, but they remembered every comrade-in-arms around them clearly.
The most important thing is that the commandos are all born in tigers, and none of them have night blindness and amazing eyesight.
Therefore, when the Houjin army hesitated, carefully identified whether the people around him were friends or foes, and did not dare to use weapons to add to their bodies, the sabers of the assault team had already slashed their heads and faces.
The bloody gas slowly spread, and soon it was blown away by the strong wind, and the heavy snow also came to join in the fun, as if it was a memorial, and as if it was a joke, and when the two sides sprinted, the corpses on the ground were covered with white snowflakes again, and only occasionally, one or two stumps and broken arms were exposed from the groaning wounded.
The second attack, which was a complete replica of the first charge, staggered by, Chen Xin looked at the corpse of the enemy who had fallen to the ground, did not stop for the slightest, and continued to start the journey of troublemaking.
He believed that if it was daytime, such a cavalry team, after the first round of charge, would never dare to make a second round of assault on his side, so that the enemy would be able to save a life.
However, it is a pity that the dark night blinded the enemy's eyes and gave the enemy the courage to match his own strength, so the enemy completely fell.
Just as Chen Xin was carrying out the third circle of expansion around the small camp at the center point, there was a commotion at the center point, and the Sichuan-flavored shouts and scolding came one after another.
Chen Xin hurriedly led the team towards that side.
Halfway through, he met Gadami and his group who came up, and Gadami gave a thumbs up, "When I cleaned up the Jurchen cavalry just now, it was really powerful." ”
Chen Xin smiled reservedly, he didn't take this stubble, he didn't care too much about winning a team of Houjin cavalry with a small number of people, it was just a trivial matter, but asked, "How is your brother?" Why is it so messy? ”
"Oh, Brother Su, they just found a person wearing Huang Taiji's clothes, and they thought it was Huang Taiji himself, and they were about to be happy.
However, it's a pity that Su Zhuang found out that it was a fake after seeing it himself, and they were asking the fake guy where was the real Huang Taiji. ”
Chen Xin smacked his lips, tonight is really lively, so many things have come together, and then, Huang Taiji's side, actually made a scene of a golden cicada coming out of its shell?
Hehe, it's really getting more and more interesting, but time is running out, the Houjin army of the surrounding brigade may rush over at any time, and when it comes, in the face of the enemy army with absolute numerical superiority, he can only escape, there is no second way, so, either, find Huang Taiji in the shortest possible time and kill him, or, honestly admit defeat and retreat quietly.
Chen Xin decided to fight one last time.
Huang Taiji, where can he hide?
Chen Xin slowly smoothed something in his heart.
Su Zhuang was the first to rush in, and their positions were low, so they were not very familiar with this place, so they adopted the method of ignition and search all the way.
Then, he rushed in with the commando team, and there was less than three minutes in between.
In three minutes, if it were in the summer, when you could run away with a casual turnover, you might have escaped some distance.
However, now, it is winter, and there is heavy snow and wind, and in this case, it is impossible for anyone who has lived in Tohoku to run out in the clothes they wore when they were sleeping.
And to put on the clothes of this era, at least, it takes at least two minutes to put on a coat that is enough to avoid the cold and put on a pair of cotton shoes, let alone a person like Huang Taiji who is used to being served.
In this way, Huang Taiji could not go far before he rushed in, and after he came in, he immediately set up sentry posts around him to prevent anyone from rushing into the small camp next door.
Huang Taiji, he must still be here.
Chen Xin stared around with flickering eyes, trying to think about what a person like Huang Taiji should do at that time!
