Chapter 699: One More Bet

Chen Xin smiled and said to the sincere Gao Hongzhong: "This official doesn't want to bother to tell Mr. Gao about my Zhong Fulin's loyalty to the country, and I don't want to discuss with you the future direction between the kingdom and the Ming Dynasty.

However, Mr. Gao, I still have to give you a suggestion.

Mr. Gao was able to escape the slaughter of Nurhachi and others so many times, and he died in Liaodong and became one of the extremely scarce Han high-ranking officials, and it is also conceivable that you are a very powerful task.

The king once taught me that everything should be forward, so those things in the past, the past is over, and the official doesn't want to ask about it anymore, but I can help Mr. Gao think about the future.

You have also read books, and you know the truth that the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly, even if our army does not fight with your master today and temporarily withdraws from the confrontation on the front line, but this false peace will not last long, and Liaodong will still be inevitable after all.

Things in the world are like a game of gambling, if Mr. Gao is really a smart person, then he can learn from those gamblers and place an extra bet before the market opens.

I don't need you to do many dangerous things, as long as you can provide me with a monthly copy of the high-level movements of Houjin.

Although it is easy to fall into the water conservancy at some times, it is also easier to save your life at some special moments.

There is no harm in some professional gamblers' means of placing more bets, because when the time comes, whether it is big or small, gamblers can make some money, right? ”

Gao Hongzhong felt a little crying and laughing, originally he came to persuade the people of Huaxia, but now, why did he suddenly become the other party to persuade him? This style of painting changes a little faster!

However, there seems to be some truth to this. What to do?

······

Gao Hongzhong came to negotiate peace, but the Huaxia army was not deceived by the Houjin army's strategy of delaying the army, and in this day's time, the Huaxia army sent cavalry troops and gradually approached the location of the Houjin camp.

There was even a part of the cavalry detachment that forcibly climbed to the top of the North Mountain, and observed the official road from Lushun to Jinzhou from a high place at close range.

Although the Houjin army was newly defeated, they did not dare to attack the strong fortresses and forts garrisoned by the Huaxia army, but they still did not completely lose confidence in the cavalry battle, and naturally sent cavalry troops out to meet the battle.

At the same time, they also sent a group of white-armored soldiers into the mountains, and the Huaxia army fought for the commanding heights around, this kind of battle is not high, but it is extremely tragic for the Houjin army.

But they still had to insist on continuing this kind of battle, because the Houjin army had begun to evacuate the coats and some supplies, and the Huaxia army on the commanding heights would continue to transmit the enemy's coordinate information to the artillery units of the Huaxia army through various means.

The Houjin army had long since withdrawn beyond the effective range of 10 kg of mountain grenades, 10 kg of cannons, infantry guns and other smoothbore artillery, and now that the enemy army has retreated to the large battalion, those smoothbore guns that hit solid bullets and shotguns are still not able to deal with the strong fortress.

However, those 155mm heavy guns, which had been idle for more than a month, were now just in good use. Those guns had already been set up and were waiting for the order to fight.

Before the Jin army lost the battle, these artillery pieces were the killer weapon that turned the tables in the end, and they could not be used easily. And after the enemy army was defeated, he cowered in camps and trenches without showing his head.

For an enemy with fortifications such as trenches, these were the most primitive 155mm rifled guns. and the lethality of the shells it used, which cannot be fully reflected.

This point has not only been verified in the history of World War I before Chen Xin's crossing, but also the Huaxia Army itself has done relevant experiments to prove this point. So when this kind of artillery shells were in short supply, the Huaxia army really didn't dare to squander it.

But now, when the enemy withdraws his troops back, the huge shells will come into play.

Under the guidance of artillery observers on several commanding heights, several 155mm heavy guns opened fire one after another, constantly bombarding the retreating ranks of the Houjin army, and the scene was really as easy as a farmer wielding a sickle to harvest wheat.

After most of the day's offensive and defensive battles, the artillery observers of the Huaxia Army, who were unable to carry heavy weapons up the mountain, finally chose to retreat temporarily.

On the one hand, the number of attacking enemy troops was too large, and their number on the mountain was too small, and the firepower was too weak. On the other hand, it was also because after a long period of shelling, it was time for those heavy guns to need maintenance.

After several temporarily occupied commanding heights were recaptured by the Houjin army, the Houjin side immediately increased the intensity of withdrawal. Of course, the so-called retreat could never be the main force of the Houjin army.

Under the watchful eye of the Huaxia Army, if the Houjin Army dared to let the main battle force retreat, then they would immediately suffer the most fierce blow of the Huaxia Army and a long chase.

Therefore, the retreating men and horses are now the team escorted by the two thousand Houjin cavalry to the ruins of the third fortress.

The baggage they carried was also much less than when they came, and all kinds of shield carts, carts, and cattle carts, in the case of heavy losses, these coaters could only carry the baggage on their shoulders.

And this time the most serious loss of the Houjin army, that is, the few red-coated cannons that he had accumulated for decades to preserve, those things were all measured in thousands of catties, and in the previous fiasco, the red-coated cannons were basically abandoned in the area of the rammed earth wall position in the chaos.

The Houjin army lost in the siege battle, and even had to make a defensive posture of shrinking, but, on the other hand, the Houjin army still maintained the advantage of cavalry, and the number of their cavalry, or the number of war horses, was by no means comparable to the current Huaxia army, which had only developed for less than 10 years.

The main force of the Houjin army is still stationed in the area north of Lushun, and the camp of the Houjin army controls all the official roads that can be passed in the direction of Lushun to Liaodong.

In this case, it was impossible for the Chinese cavalry to bypass the large battalion to pursue the retreating coated troops, and the maintenance of heavy artillery could not be completed in a short time.

Therefore, the Huaxia Army no longer paid attention to the coated team that was destined to slip away, but just kept staring at the main force of the Houjin Army.

The Huaxia Army didn't need to pay attention to the other small movements of the Houjin Army, as long as they firmly watched the movements of their main force.

No matter how the Houjin army deploys its troops, as long as their large army starts to move, the formation on the road will always be stretched or even disjointed, and there will always be a part of the soldiers and horses left behind.

At this time, the formation formed by the last centaur and the psychology of the people in the team are extremely fragile.

At that time, it was the best moment for the Huaxia Army to attack.
