On November 19, Chen Xinqin led about 5,000 Chinese troops and 50,000 horses of the Houjin army to confront Sandaogou and the west of Luojiapu.

The Huaxia army, under the command of Chen Xin, dug two intermittent trenches in the outermost part, plus two chest walls.

This time, Chen Xin did not use barbed wire, not because this thing is not easy to use, but because the transport ships of the Huaxia military are all used to carry artillery shells, and there is no spare capacity to transport these things that occupy a place.

Now, it is finally time to face to face with the Houjin Tartars, and the whole Huaxia Kingdom is very excited, after all, most of the people who have been dealt with before are only Houjin's servant army, and it can be said that this is the first time to fight against a large number of Tartars.

Many people in China, including some middle and high-ranking government officials, some military officers, and some old people who got rich first, basically escaped from under the iron hooves of the Later Jin, and they have a natural hatred for the Later Jin regime.

For this battle, China really worked hard, and the factories worked overtime for several months, and even, many civilian sea ship owners, after hearing the news of the military's tight capacity, gave up the business that had never gone wrong for many years, and spontaneously drove the sea ships to help.

Seeing the Houjin army building a new camp a few miles away from the telescope, Chen Xin thought of an old stalk, "His heart didn't fluctuate, and he even wanted to laugh a little." ”

Although it is not very accurate, this stalk does indicate Chen Xin's mood at this time to a certain extent.

A few years ago, Gojin was his great enemy, and in order to protect himself, he attacked the Wa Kingdom and seized Sado Jinshan to plunder wealth, occupied Kyushu to obtain stable copper ore resources, and scourged the Korean Kingdom to establish its own government and plunder population resources.

Even, in order to be able to effectively use the natural danger of the Yalu River to block the cavalry of Houjin in winter, and use the hands of Amin and An Bu to brutally oppress the Goryeos, two large reservoirs were built along the Yalu River to prevent the Yalu River from freezing.

All of this is full of blood and cruelty, and in the process, the number of dead people in tens of thousands is not enough to show the cruel reality.

Now, finally, it is finally about to face the Houjin side, and it is the supreme ruler of the Houjin who has just completed the unification of power, Huang Taiji, the king of the Houjin Khan, who has just completed the unification of power, which makes Chen Xin how to stabilize it.

However, there is no way, although all preparations have been made, whether it is personnel or weapons and equipment, as long as Chen Xin gives an order, they can start fighting, but the objective conditions do not allow the two sides to attack.

Because, after a few days of heavy snowfall, finally stopped, and enough thick snow accumulated on the ground that began to freeze hard, and those thick snow began to melt and dissolve under the sun, and the road became muddy, and if you step on it, you may not be able to pull it out.

Hou Jin's killer weapon is cavalry, and they fight hard under the strict system of supervising the team, which is their habitual tactic formed for a long time.

With this tactic, Hou Jin has never missed a move in the face of other weak enemies for more than ten years, except for being taught a lesson by the last Qi family army during the bloody battle of the Hunhe River and almost collapsing.

And now, at this time, under this kind of terrain, the Houjin Horse team can't rush up.

Don't look at the extremely rampant behavior of the slave owners of Huang Taiji and Houjin, but without the killer weapon as the last guarantee, they really don't dare to rush to destroy the Huaxia army that can destroy Azig, Haoge, An Buyan, and Suke Saha, a series of high-level figures in Houjin.

As for Chen Xin's side, the situation at this time is also embarrassing, this time Chen Xin chose artillery as the main weapon to dominate the direction of the entire battle, so all the plans are made around these big guys.

However, although the power of artillery is infinite, and people, animals, and buildings will be turned into scum when they explode, the huge weight is extremely difficult to transport.

There is also the logistical supply of shells and the replacement of other spare parts, which is even more troublesome, you know, in order to ensure the safety of the artillery position at the time of firing, the artillery and shell storage points are separated in different locations.

On the current field, it is extremely difficult for the soldiers of the artillery battalion to transport shells from the temporary storage point to the gun position, let alone the long distance from the warehouse to the temporary storage point.

Therefore, although the enemy and us are very close, they can only choose to confront each other.

Of course, because there are no exceptional means of transportation and communication, the Houjin side can only wait quietly, and Chen Xin has an eagle falcon in his hand to communicate, so during this time, Chen Xin can continue to remotely direct all parties to continue to act.

"1st Cavalry Regiment, where are you now?"

"They reported last night that they had reached the area east of the Liao River and were lurking."

"Very good, let them pay attention to concealment, if something happens, everything is for the safety of the whole team, and the mission can be abandoned."

"Understood, the command will give them the relevant orders when they contact them next time."

"What have happened to the remaining forces in Houjin?"

"The intelligence department has not received a secret report from relevant intelligence personnel for the time being, so there should be no change in the country after Jin." After speaking, the intelligence adjutant turned his head to the reconnaissance adjutant.

The other party understood, opened the folder and searched for the latest report to the reconnaissance force, and said affirmatively, "The reconnaissance force has not received any relevant reports, and there is no change in the remaining troops in Houjin." ”

"Yesterday, the captain sent a report that the Tokugawa shogunate sent an unofficial representative to the country, how is this matter, what is going on?"

"We've been lurking in the U.S. kingdom before the Shinsengumi have been reporting that the shogunate is a little unable to hold on and is preparing to negotiate peace.

However, because we didn't know the bottom line of the kingdom, and the attitude towards the Wakoku, and, most importantly, the kingdom appeared too suddenly and developed too quickly, and the Wakoku side didn't have an accurate positioning for us at all, so this proposal was never approved by the Tokugawa family.

Now, the Tokugawa family believes that this cannot go on any longer, so they are preparing to send an unofficial representative to the kingdom to find out what is going on with us. ”

Chen Xin nodded, and then, he asked a little curiously, "Now, the head of the Tokugawa family, that is, the general they call Zhengyi, seems to be called the Tokugawa family, right?" ”

"Yes, the king has a good memory, that's the name."

"Tokugawa Iemitsu, hehe, why does this name sound so awkward. Forget it, let's not talk about him, have the civil representatives of the Japanese state been selected, and who are they going to send? ”

"Qi Yu Jun, sent by the Wa Kingdom, is a person who has a pivotal position in the Wa Kingdom, but is not too eye-catching, this person is called Ah Fuku, a few years ago, this person was given the name [Kasuga Bureau] by the so-called emperor of the Wa Kingdom, and the official rank has been from three, and since then it has an official name, called Saito Fuku."

"That puppet of the Wa Kingdom still dares to call such a name? Remember, from now on, in official documents, the nominal supreme ruler of the Wa Kingdom will be called the Wa King. ”

"Yes."

Chen Xin nodded with satisfaction, and then continued the topic just now, "Ah Fu?" Kasuga Bureau? Listening to this name, why is it so weird? It's not like a formal title bestowed on ministers. ”
