Chapter Thirty-Seven: Rush to Attack

After a while, Da Chun took a rag to wipe the blood on his hand, and came to Chen Xin to report, "My lord, the prisoner has finished the trial. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Chen Xin asked as he walked, "Did you ask any useful news?" ”

"Yes, my lord, the captive confessed that 20 miles to the southeast is the city of Uiju, and there is a battalion of Korean officers and soldiers stationed outside the city, with a number of 1,200 soldiers, which is the main force stationed on the border around the city of Uiju in North Korea, and the prisoner is the commander of the battalion who does not collect armor at night (Note 1), he saw our traces on the mountain, so he was ready to take people back to report, but he did not expect to be cleaned up by the eagle of the lord." As he spoke, he glanced in awe at the falcon with its head held high on the horse's head.

Chen Xin secretly sighed, "Although my golden finger is just an auxiliary tool for elementary school students of a developed civilization in the universe, it can be regarded as an artifact to me." With a deep groan, he immediately arranged for two falcons to take off and go to the southeast to reconnoitre.

In a group of two falcons, it is for safety.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the natural ecology had not been destroyed to the extent that a large number of species were extinct in later generations, and there were still many birds of prey in the sky.

The biochemical falcons created by Chen Xin have to move around with him, and they will inevitably invade the prey range of birds of prey in the area.

Bird of prey hunting generally acts alone, and Chen Xin arranges for two falcons to act together and cover each other, which can ensure the safety of the falcon to the greatest extent and prevent it from being attacked by local predators.

The maximum speed of the biochemical falcon created by Chen Xin is 350 kilometers per hour, that is, less than 6 kilometers per minute, and 20 miles (Note 2) is instantaneous.

found an open space, pretended to make a few comparisons with the falcon, and drew the reconnaissance map that Lao Bai received.

After some research, Chen Xin decided to take advantage of the fact that the enemy did not know that he and others were coming, and launched a surprise attack before dark to directly occupy the city of Uiju.

Calling all the officers, Chen Xin began to assign tasks.

Chen Xin pointed to the map on the ground and said, "As a border city, there are only two gates in total, the North Gate and the South Gate, and the military camp is 3 miles east of the North Gate. ”

Everyone was looking at the map carefully, and after a while, Chen Xin continued to speak, "There is a small forest in the north of the city, 4 miles, let's march along the hills and hide in that small forest. ”

Seeing that everyone had no disagreement, he continued, "When the time comes, I will lead the guards as the first echelon to grab the city gate." ”

waved his hand to stop everyone's dissuasion, and strongly ordered, "Don't persuade again, just do it." If that happens, I'll have the falcon report to the grove. The rest of the people, throwing away all their baggage, hurried to the city to meet them. ”

Looking at the people with different expressions, Chen Xin chuckled twice, "It's just a few sticks, I have made up my mind, so let's do it, and the whole army will set off." ”

Seeing that Chen Xin had made up his mind, everyone reluctantly agreed.

Everyone was cautious along the way, and packed up 2 more groups of North Korean sentinels, and for the sake of prudence, they didn't try to catch them alive anymore, and all of them were eliminated.

Finally, everyone moved along the hilly low-lying area to a grove outside the city of Uiju.

Chen Xin asked with some confusion, "How can there be such a forest outside this Yizhou City, the civil officials don't know, don't the generals outside the city know that all the obstacles must be cleared within the ten miles of defense outside the city?" ”

Or the Mongolian officer Da Chun replied with a smile, "My lord, do you know, this forest was planted by the people in the city, in order to get firewood conveniently, you must know that all the families in the city rely on the small forest outside the city to live, and it is also North Korea Chen Ping, who has lost that kind of vigilance, and the officials in the city are not willing to ruin their official reputation for such a thing, so let us take advantage of the loophole." ”

Chen Xin nodded and said, "Yes, after a long time, no matter how vigilant people are, they will slack off." ”

At the same time, he secretly thought about what he had done recently, "I am also a little slack, when I was caught as a slave before, I can still practice assassination every day, since I became a generation, I rarely practice, I must take it as a warning, I can't do it again." ”

He found a cavalryman and wrote a letter for him to send to Sukh Saha.

Chen Xin had to hide it, it was already shocking to have an eagle falcon that could find her own way to deliver letters, and he had already told Qiqige to keep her and her family secret.

All his eagle falcons can recognize the way, which is enough to change the pattern of the battlefield, and Hou Jin must not let him know.

He said to the officers, "I wrote a letter and sent someone to bring it to the team behind, so that Lord Niu Lu Ezhen could lead the troops to advance to Uiju, and if we succeeded in capturing the city, it would be just the right time to flank that battalion of Korean border troops inside and out." If it doesn't succeed, don't be afraid, it's just a field battle with the North Korean officers and soldiers, and North Korea doesn't even dare to provoke Mao Wenlong, are we still afraid of this kind of cowardice? ”

At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew, and sand and rocks flew outside the woods, Chen Xin stopped the person who delivered the letter, and sighed, "Such a strong wind, it's not safe to go out, I'll talk about it later." ”

Then a few whistles were called, and the falcons that were scouting outside were summoned, and then ordered all the shield carts to block the wind, and everyone gathered around and hid for a while.

This strong wind, a blow is two quarters of an hour, the wind still does not decrease, all the falcons are shrunk their necks, the arrogant demeanor is gone, a few ground workers want to go up to hug the falcons, for them to keep warm, but all the falcons disgusted with their claws to push away, everyone looked funny, all laughed.

At this moment, the person in charge of the guard suddenly shouted, "My lord, it's snowing heavily." ”

Chen Xin stood up and looked out of the woods, and sure enough, there was heavy snow in the sky, and the cold wind was mixed with snowflakes, and he couldn't see anything 10 steps away.

Chen Xin was overjoyed, "God really helps me, and all the soldiers listen to the order." ”

A neat shout of applause "Mark the order." ”

"All the people put on their helmets and armor, all the firearms were loaded with ammunition and then wrapped in tarpaulin, all the bows and arrows were wound, and the shield cart was the guide, and they went straight to the city of Uiju with me."

Everyone excitedly replied loudly, "My subordinates obey." ”

Chen Xin came to his horse, took out the 200-pound strong bow, carefully hung the bowstring, tried it, and felt good, so he carefully put the bow into the bow bag, then took out the armor-1 firearm, bit open the fixed paper packet, poured some primer on the fire door, and then closed the fire door, and then poured the remaining gunpowder from the muzzle, then lead bullets, and finally used the whole strip to push the paper bag in and gently compacted it.

The paper bag is a waterproof material, and at this time, it is stuffed into the muzzle of the gun, which not only prevents the snow from wetting the gunpowder, but also prevents the lead bullet from slipping out.

To make his own preparations, Chen Xin began to check other people's firearms, except for the A-1 type firearm made by himself, which is a flintlock pistol, which does not need to prepare an open flame, the "cannons" brought by others are all fired by the arquebus, and the firing door must be wrapped first, and then the fire must be carefully checked to prevent the situation that it cannot be fired in the battle.

After the inspection, he ordered the officers leading the team to take care of their own people, and the people and horses picked up the bells, and headed for Uiju.
