Chapter 211: Time Difference, Bullying
Just when the scouts of the Xuan Army retreated one after another, Chen Xin, who was presiding over the overall situation in Anzhou, already knew the news. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The response speed of the command system of the Xuan Army is unmatched by any country or organization in this era, and when the Houjin Army dispatched a large-scale sentry to investigate, the soldiers who were on the front line had already sent back reports, and the falcons patrolling here directly under various departments also detected this situation.
After the staff officers summarized and studied and judged, various intelligence, news, and reports formed a detailed written report, and this report was directly delivered to Chen Xin's hands as soon as possible.
Looking at the contents of the report, as well as the schematic map of the enemy's outpost movements that had been marked on the map by the staff officers, Chen Xin thought about it in his heart.
The enemy has placed a large number of cavalry in the area where it intersects with our army, and at the front of our garrison is a cavalry of 100 men, and this formation of cavalry is responsible for sweeping all the scouts along the main road from the enemy's camp to the front of our army, and then cruising near our camp, waiting for an opportunity to inquire for information.
In the back of the hundreds, most of the area is the size of tens, and these people are responsible for carefully searching for our army's lonely, hidden scouts, covering the battlefield, and a few are scattered to the rear of our army, apparently trying to scratch their tongues and torture information.
Since the enemy has dispatched so many people, I can't be rude, even if I do my best, I have to say hello.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin sneered and ordered, "Let the reconnaissance unit go to the rear of our army in the form of a small unit and clean up those rats, oh, by the way, most of the reconnaissance troops are on the detachment side, then they don't want to come back for the time being, just be responsible for cleaning up Suchuan = nearby enemy sentinels, we will hand it over to the rangers, how is the 1st company of the rangers now?" ”
"Report to the general, in the previous defensive battle of the No. 1 Fortress, the 1st Company of the Rangers killed a lot of people, and the rest were seriously injured, and their company commander Zhao Qingyu was the same, and now all of them are being treated in the hospital in the rear."
"Hmm, it seems that it's not good for my subordinates to be too good, every time I have a difficult task, I can't help but think of Zhao Qingyu." Shaking his head, he continued: "Then let 2 connect hands and preside over the clearance mission in the rear this time." ”
A staff officer waited for Chen Xin to issue the order, and then immediately turned around and went out.
After Chen Xin signed the letter, he continued to order: "With a cavalry company directly under the brigade and a cavalry company of the armed police, and one company of infantry, form a temporary squadron, scatter all the cavalry in our hands and send out, and take advantage of the enemy's outpost before the enemy can react, with absolute numerical superiority in a short period of time, to eat the enemy's outposts." Remember, when the enemy forces a large number of cavalry, all the attacking troops are not allowed to fight and withdraw to their respective positions. ”
"Yes."
"Also, there are relatively few cavalry troops on the Suchuan side, tell the attacking troops not to be too aggressive, and not to get within 10 miles of the enemy's camp."
Although the cavalry of the Xuan army is only one-tenth of the enemy's army, it is impossible for the enemy to let all the cavalry come out as sentry and carry out the task of covering the battlefield.
Therefore, the number of enemy sentinels is about two or three thousand, which is actually about the same as the number of all the cavalry of the Xuan army, but unlike Houjin, the main force of the Xuan army is infantry, and sending all the cavalry at this time will not affect the combat effectiveness of their own defensive warfare.
Hou Jin is fighting the time difference, according to Hou Jin's previous combat experience, when the Xuan army reflected, they had already got the information they wanted, and then let the large army retreat, at that time, there would only be scattered cavalry in the border area between the two armies for vigilance.
It's a pity that Hou Jin miscalculated, their opponents were not the previous Ming Dynasty and the Korean Kingdom, and Hou Jin's own intelligence delivery ability was like a weak chicken compared to Xuan Jun.
Chen Xin took advantage of Hou Jin's carelessness and sent all the cavalry troops in his hands at one time, but he was able to beat Hou Jin with a time difference.
Several temporary squadrons of more than 2,000 cavalry mixed with more than 1,000 infantry of the Xuan Army set off in a majestic manner, with about 400 people as a temporary cavalry squadron, according to the plan on the map, each heading towards the destination.
A part of the makeshift squadron slowly advanced in a straight line, waiting for their comrades to outflank them.
Another temporary squadron quickly drew an arc to the west and east, and the infantry in this part was also selected to be a company with some riding skills, and they also rode on all kinds of animals temporarily collected by the army, which was regarded as temporary cavalry infantry.
The flank-outflanking troops were the chopping boards, responsible for intercepting and driving the enemy cavalry together. The frontal assault unit is a hammer, which is responsible for smashing the enemy cavalry units like walnuts.
This set of tactics is really very effective, this area is a mountainous terrain, many places where the cavalry can not pass, the places where the horses can be walked are relatively wide, the falcon in the sky can easily see clearly, after indicating several key targets to the ground troops, unless the enemy can go over the mountain in an unpredictable prophet, otherwise they will be ambushed as a chopping block Xuan army to beat a full bag.
The stubborn Houjin army will be consumed here, which will give the Xuanjun who acts as a hammer time and opportunity in the back.
The hesitant will retreat a little bit, and then find a way, this is the favorite of the Xuan army, hit it like a rabbit and ran, and finally run around and find that all the roads are blocked, either give up the war horse and cross the mountains, or simply surrender,
The most troublesome is the last one, this kind of most troublesome, seeing that the way is blocked, he immediately gave up his horse and fled directly from other places where there was no Xuan army. Slippery and hands-free along the way, Xuan Jun tried to snipe a few times, but failed to do so. However, this road is the most difficult to deal with, and the number of people is also the least, and after the whole battle, there are only two groups, which is harmless.
The Xuan army used this set of tactics to directly and carefully clean the area between the two armies, and not long ago, the Houjin cavalry, who were still chasing the buttocks of the Xuan army scouts, completely changed their positions in less than half a day, and this feeling of suffocation made many Jurchen cavalrymen who adhered to the idea of the invincibility of the Eight Banners about to vomit blood.
Of course, the so-called invincibility of the Eight Banners is just the boasting of the Jurchens themselves, but after blowing for a long time, some people really believe it.
This temporary battle only lasted one day, and in the afternoon of the next day, all the attacking troops had returned, Chen Xin stood at the head of the city, looking at the Houjin cavalry who were angry in the distance, but did not dare to approach Anzhou City, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's really cool to bully the enemy with a golden finger."
