Chapter 229: Split
With 12 infantry guns and the bravery and tenacity of the soldiers, the Xuan Army's mobile troops firmly blocked the enemy's path in the center. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The terrain chosen by the mobile unit was very good, with two low hills with horns on each other, blocking the road that could accommodate a large number of enemy troops.
Although other places can also march, but the Houjin army, which has been looting nearby for more than three months, everyone has gained a lot, and these logistical burdens are really very much.
In addition, the enemy army was moving in a large force, and it had to carry shield carts, food, gunpowder, cotton clothes and quilts, and other materials, so it was impossible for large carts and small carts to walk on mountain roads on all sides.
The road between the two hills, which is now firmly blocked by the Xuan army, is a place where they must pass.
Seeing the clumsy performance of nearly 1,000 of his servant army being driven away by more than 300 people of the Xuan army with "short spears", some of the Jurchens sitting in the rear were not calm.
A hot-tempered Niu Lu really stood up and scolded on the spot, "These incompetent aha have simply lost the face of my big gold, no, I can't wait, I want to lead the team to charge, who wants to join me?" ”
The mid-lane forward leader scolded, "Erdun, don't act rashly, after such a long time, what is the fate of the position of the frontal Xuan army, is it difficult to take you don't know?" Moreover, I haven't even ordered it, who let you connect it privately. ”
Erdun snorted disdainfully, "Niger, what kind of thing are you, you also want to control me, I am going to rush today, what can you do with me." ”
"You are too presumptuous, I am the main general of the forward, if you dare to keep the military order, I will cut you."
"Hey, just by you, before you were under the white flag, plus there was a boss to protect you, I only temporarily obeyed the dispatch, and now, under the wise leadership of the commander for a few months, you have been losing troops and losing generals, how many people do you have to fight under the white flag? If you look around, there are only a few minions with white flags, who want to cut me down in the next life. ”
Ignoring the hypocritical dissuasion of his companions, he led his cavalry to the front line with Niger's almost fiery eyes.
From beginning to end, Niger didn't dare to really give an order to arrest Erdun, the other party was right, the white flag was strong before, plus Sukh Saha as the commander, pretending to be the Bayala battalion and nearly 100,000 servants, and the other flags were still obeying the order.
If at that time, Erdun would not have tore his face in public, but would have roared loudly a few times, and Niger would have dared to drag him down and cut him down.
But since Sukh Saha broke his head and bled at the three camps of the Xuan army, and there was no result, the minds of these people changed.
When Sukh Saha decided to move to Suchuan and eliminate the Xuan army that suddenly emerged from behind them, and then was blocked in the mountains between Anju and Suchuan, the Niu Lu was a little disobedient, and even the servant army continued to flee.
Now there are even more people who are openly tearing their faces, but, as the other party said just now, Niger has no way to deal with the other party.
Scanning around, although these people around him were comforting themselves, Niger had to know that Erdun just now was a pathfinder released by these guys, and they wanted to know what Sukh Saha was planning and how to break the situation.
The desperate Niger kept muttering in his heart, "Master Sukh Saha, the army is unstable, the food and grass are cut off, what are you going to do in this desperate situation." Can we succeed? ”
In the distance, the staff officer of the mobile unit observed the movement of the enemy troops with binoculars, and reminded loudly: "Major, the enemy is about to make a cavalry charge, and the strength is about 300. ”
The major shook his head with a serious face, "In front of the array of rapid-fire muskets and cannons of our army, the frontal charge of a small number of cavalry has fallen behind, and the enemy has been fighting with us for several months, it is impossible to be so stupid."
In the face of nearly a thousand rifles and more than a dozen cannons, what use can a mere 300 cavalry do, knowing that this is a death, how can this small group of cavalry of the enemy still do this? ”
After thinking for a while, the major, who really had no clue, ordered: "Just in case, withdraw the strength of 1 company from the second trench, temporarily serve as a reserve, and wait in line behind the hill." ”
"Yes"
After giving the order, the major still felt a little uneasy, "Also, send someone to see how the encirclement and annihilation battle is going in the back." When will reinforcements come up. ”
With that, the Major raised his binoculars again and looked at them.
Suddenly, a detail in the ranks of the cavalry of the enemy army caught his attention,
Generally speaking, when fighting, no matter who you are, you have to put the things that you can't use during the battle into the logistics department, after all, you have to work the battlefield, those are all cumbersome, to say something unpleasant, bring too many things, and when you lose the battle, you can't run away fast.
However, there were about 300 cavalrymen on that cattle road, and they actually put everything on the spare horses in large bags and small bags, and from the occasional gaps, they could still see white, yellow, and emerald green colors.
These exposed things are gold, silver and jade looted by the Later Jin Army, and they look like they are about to charge, but they have a heavy softness, and they have been fighting for several years, and they have never seen this situation.
The Major's heart quickly turned, eliminating all the impossibilities, then there was only one possibility left, "This group is going to escape." ”
The major was taken aback by this idea, he had heard of the army of servants fleeing, but he had never heard of the Jurchen cavalry who fled before the army was destroyed.
No matter how incredible this speculation may be, the Major can only take it as true when he is unable to explain the enemy's actions with other possibilities.
If, this wave of enemies is to escape, then, that is, there are irreconcilable contradictions within the enemy army, and this Jurchen of Niu Lu has decided to completely disassociate himself from Hou Jin, otherwise, if he escapes on the battlefield, no matter how deep his background is, he will not escape death.
Thinking of this, the Major's mind came alive again, and by letting this one of Niulu's cavalrymen pass, he set an example for the remaining dissidents in the enemy army, telling them that this was a good way out, and at least they could save their lives.
In this case, can we take advantage of the mentality of this group of people to recruit them and add strength to our cavalry troops?
However, after thinking about it, I felt that this group of cavalry should not be recruited, they could escape in the Houjin army, which was known for its strict military discipline and cruelty, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not betray the Xuan army in the future.
In the end, the major made up his mind that even if there was a shortage of cavalry in our army, he would resolutely not admit such people.
Thinking of this, the major shouted "Herald"
"To"
"Record order, if the opposite Niulu, with a red flag, begins to charge, no fire is to be fired at the enemy until he has approached the 200-meter line."
"Yes."
"200 meters, this is my bottom line, if you go through it safely, it can be regarded as my contribution to the disintegration of Jin Junxin, but if you dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, don't blame me for being unkind."
