The cavalry of the Houjin Army also knew at this time that they had no way to retreat, so when they saw the cavalry of the Huaxia Army officially charge, they also quickly adjusted the direction of their horses, and also began to accelerate.

The battlefield was not very wide, and the cavalry in the two hedges also quickly approached, and the cavalry of the Houjin Army and the cavalry of the Huaxia Army launched a hedge regardless of their own casualties.

The four cavalry companies of the Huaxia Army, plus some reinforcements from the brigade headquarters, launched four powerful attacks in a row. Although the front of the enemy army was penetrated, in the end, it still suffered too few losses and could not get rid of the flank of the Houjin cavalry.

Several Jurchen nobles in charge of specific command in the Houjin army are also veterans of the battlefield, and they are very flexible in the use of cavalry on the battlefield.

Not only did they take turns attacking the flanks of the cavalry units of the Huaxia Army, but they also constantly sent small groups of rangers to directly force themselves into the gaps in the infantry arrays of the Huaxia Army, forcing the infantry detachments to stop advancing and hold their own defenses.

After the more than 1,000 Houjin cavalry who lined up on the northern slope of Jiguan Mountain abandoned the Chinese infantry who were confronting them and forcibly came over to the west for reinforcements, Chief of Staff Liu finally knew that nothing could be done.

In addition, almost all the artillery on the gun position showed signs of overheating and instability after continuous firing, so Chief of Staff Liu had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops.

Chen Xin stood on the top of Jiguan Mountain and shook his head helplessly, cavalry, cavalry, how come every time a war reaches a critical moment, it will always be the only shortcoming of the Huaxia Army that comes out to make trouble!

Chen Xin sighed, and then looked at the rest of the battle line, the rout of the Houjin army had gradually moved away, far away from the bombardment range of the Huaxia army's artillery.

The Houjin cavalry on the eastern battlefield also sent small groups of cavalry to constantly roam the battlefield, taking advantage of the superior tactical mobility of their cavalry units to threaten the pursuers of the Huaxia Army scattered everywhere.

In the distance, the small dots formed by the red flags flying high in the air gradually stopped the pursuit, and were slowly covering each other and retreating back to the defense line where the rammed earth wall was.

Chen Xin said with a smile to Fu Yan, who was in charge of commanding the battlefield on the Western Front, "These Tartars do have two brushes, and the cavalry that charged frontally used them a few times, and they found their weakness.

Now, our army does not have enough numbers to continue to expand the results of the battle, and as long as the Houjin cavalry pins down the two flanks of our cavalry, they can quickly stop the cavalry charge array.

Once our cavalry is caught in a melee, the absolute numerical disparity of the cavalry will make it impossible for our army to occupy any advantage. ”

Fu Yan put away the binoculars and replied in a low voice: "The enemy and us have been facing each other for so long, and the defense lines they have built are already very complete.

And in order to limit the breakthrough of the enemy, all exits were made narrow by non-sweat, and under that terrain, the coordination between infantry and cavalry was very inconvenient.

In addition, the enemy's rammed earth walls blocked the direct fire of our artillery, weakening the power of solid shells. It was only then that Houjin stabilized his position. ”

Chen Xin smiled: "Yes, things are probably like this, the biggest problem exposed after this battle is still the lack of cavalry.

If I had 5,000 cavalry troops here today, and the Duoduo and Derg Divisions, I wouldn't have thought of going back to Liaodong.

Okay, since we have fought to this point today, we can only recognize the reality, this is the case today, let's retain the combat effectiveness of our cavalry, and in the subsequent pursuit battle, they still have to sing the leading role. ”

Fu Yan nodded in response, and then as if he remembered something, he caught up with Chen Xin's footsteps and asked, "Then, Your Majesty, are we going to continue the night attack tonight?" ”

Chen Xin replied without thinking about it: "Yes, of course, you remember, from now on, until the Tartars withdraw to Fuzhou City, the confrontation point before the war, we must not let them have even a moment of tranquility."

And, tonight, too, it's time for Dolgon's guy to take a good look at our new gadgets. ”

Night soon fell, the evening breeze slowly blew away the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield, and both sides of the fierce battle for a day also withdrew their troops and returned to the camp.

The Huaxia Army sent several spy platoons to be stationed in the rammed earth wall area built by the Houjin Army, carefully guarding against the night attack of the Tartars.

The trenches dug by the Houjin army were on the north and east sides of the rammed earth wall, and after their rammed earth wall was occupied by the Huaxia army, the Huaxia army was equivalent to another solid defensive line.

At this time, in the northern area of the western section of the Houjin rammed earth wall, hundreds of Chinese soldiers were quietly assembled, and Xiaohu was at the forefront.

He is now a platoon commander of the second battalion of the guard flag team, as a veteran who has participated in many battles, in the wave of the great expansion of the Chinese army in recent years, although he has suffered the loss of no education, and his promotion is not as fast as his old squad leader who served in other brigades, but he is serving in the guard flag team!

In the Huaxia Army, it is generally known that the Huaxia Army was created by Chen Xin, and the Guard Flag Team is the strongest combat effectiveness among all troops, and in this army, the proportion of winners of the Tiger Ben Medal is much higher than that of other units.

Even the military rank is higher than the commander of the same level in other units, just like the company commander of other units is probably a second lieutenant to a lieutenant, and the platoon level is a non-commissioned officer to fill the position.

However, in the guard flag team, among the four platoons under the company, the first platoon leader must at least be a second lieutenant or even a lieutenant officer.

More importantly, there are more opportunities for promotion in the Guard Flag Corps than in ordinary combat units, and whenever a new battalion leader is formed, the officers and non-commissioned officers of the Guard Flag Corps are the most drawn.

In the future, if Xiaohu arrives in a new unit, he can look forward to becoming a company commander or even a battalion deputy, so Xiaohu stays in the guard flag team, although he has no fellow countrymen and no old squad leader to take care of, but he also stays very at ease.

After the 2nd Battalion of the Guard Flag Brigade came to Lushun with Chen Xin, it has been acting as a reserve, and has repeatedly fought with the Houjin Army who rushed into the rammed earth wall during the crisis on the front.

Today, they lined up outside the rammed earth wall and engaged the cavalry of the Later Jin Army again. For so long, the total casualty rate of their battalion has been as high as three percent.

Of course, because of good protection and relying on strong enough comrades-in-arms, most of these casualty figures are wounded, and the proportion of victims is not as high as imagined.
