Chapter 234: The Moment of Decisive Battle

After meeting with the 2,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 new troops and some naval units that had been sent to slow down the enemy's march in the original plan, the total number of troops had reached nearly 30,000. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The enemy army on the opposite side had only 2,000 Jurchen cavalry and 10,000 servant troops, and the Xuan army finally had an absolute advantage in the number of fighters for the first time after more than five months of continuous efforts and the implementation of various strategies.

Everyone who thinks about the battles of the last few months will sigh "It's really not easy".

You must know that at the beginning of the war, the number of enemies far exceeded that of the Xuan army, and the full 120,000 horses really frightened Chen Xin and all the officers of the Xuan army.

Before that, the Xuan army encountered the most enemies, and it was only 50,000, and it was still the confrontation period across the Yalu River, although the pressure was great, but Chen Xin relied on the advantage of warships and did not frighten the other party at all.

But this time, it was different, there was no natural danger in front of the 120,000 troops, and the Xuan army was defending the north, and there were no decent fortifications in the south.

At that time, in order to make room for the reorganized men and horses, Chen Xin himself used himself as bait and set up three fortresses outside his control area to attract Suke Saha to attack, which was really gambling with his life.

When Chen Xin made this decision, the old brothers who initially followed Chen Xin to build the Xuan Army thought that this battle was auspicious, and they all rushed over from the safety of the rear, ready to live and die with Chen Xin.

Chen Xin stood on the bow of a fast crab and looked into the distance, thinking of the bits and pieces of the past few months, and his heart was full of infinite emotion.

The big cat stepped forward and sent the big one, "General, what's wrong with you, you don't look very good, it's windy by the river, are you catching a cold?" ”

Taking the big coat and draping it on his body, Chen Xin exhaled a long breath, "I'm fine, I just remembered the events of the last five months, and I felt a little emotional, finally to the final decisive battle, after this battle, there will be no more big battles in a short time." ”

The big cat asked suspiciously, "What's going on?" Isn't there still 8000 Jurchen cavalry on the left? This is not a fight? And what about the 8000 cavalry? ”

Chen Xin took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the big cat, "This is information sent by the scout who is monitoring the right side, you can take a look." ”

The big cat glanced at it and exclaimed, "Ran away? Then he raised his head, looked at Chen Xinxin, and asked in an incredible tone, "General, what's going on?" There were 8,000 cavalry on the left side of the Houjin army, which was a powerful force capable of inflicting a lot of casualties on our army in the field, so how could it retreat like this? ”

Chen Xin waved his hand, "You take a closer look." ”

The big cat suppressed the question in his heart, looked at it carefully, and while watching, he said in a tone of surprise, "Suke Saha took the army, and when he walked halfway, he changed the original route and headed towards Pingcheng?" ”

Chen Xin explained on the side, "This shows that he didn't plan to engage in any decisive battle at all, just ran away." ”

The big cat nodded in agreement, and then continued to look at the intelligence, "After announcing the diversion, the Sukh Saha army is infighting?" ”

"According to the report of another scout team, this infighting was an infighting between the three parties between the white flag, the white flag, and the red flag, and it once reached the point of meeting each other."

When the big cat heard Chen Xin's explanation, he slapped his thigh excitedly, "These deflated calves have today." ”

"Zhengbai Banner is Suke Saha's minions, most of them are speaking to him, supporting the withdrawal of troops, part of the white flag is unwilling to give up, and wants to continue fighting, and some of them have long been incorporated by the blue flag, An Bu cleaned up Amin, and the remaining red flag is neither willing to escape, nor willing to go against the Xuan army again, so infighting broke out between them."

The big cat asked excitedly, "What about the result?" What happened to the results? ”

Chen Xin turned his head with a smile, looked at the sky, and stretched out his hand high. After a while, an eagle falcon quickly swooped down, stopped near Chen Xin, and then fluttered its wings and jumped onto Chen Xin's arm.

Chen Xin smiled and patted the falcon's head, fed a piece of jerky, and then untied the letter bucket tied to the falcon's leg. "And that's what happened."

Opening the letter bucket and taking out the letter paper, Chen Xin suppressed the joy in his heart and slowly unfolded the letter paper. After a while, Chen Xin laughed and handed the letter to the big cat, "The overall situation has been decided, today let us end this dull war that has lasted for more than 5 months and move towards a new life." ”

Chen Xin stepped off the boat and ordered loudly, "Order the whole army, after eating, advance on both sides of the enemy army and completely destroy the enemy army." ”

"Yes."

The big cat on the boat held the letter paper handed over by Chen Xin, and looked at the words on it and was fixed. "Sukh Saha led 2,000 men to retreat in the direction of Shangjing, and the remaining men and horses split into two units, and then carried out a fire merger, and finally the victorious 3,000 men returned to Anju and surrendered to the Xuan army garrison. The enemy's army on the left can no longer pose a threat to our troops. ”

・・・・・・

An hour later, the men and horses of the Xuan army headquarters began to advance, and more than 10,000 new troops in the other direction also began to approach the enemy. More than 2,000 cavalry units of the Xuan Army had moved to the vicinity of the enemy's camp to rest, waiting for orders to surprise or pursue the remnants of the enemy.

The momentum of the flanking attack has been formed, and it is difficult for the enemy to fly with their wings inserted.

In order to be more secure and reduce the casualties in this last battle, the Xuan Navy also sent some ships to help in the battle.

Although most of the huge sea ships did not dare to move forward, from the very beginning, the Centipede ship that operated in the Pearl River Delta basin of China was used as a prototype, and the imitation and continuous improvement of the fast crab was able to move forward in the river after unloading the personnel and most of the long-distance materials transported on it.

So, while the Xuan army was advancing towards the right of the Houjin army, the 10 ships each carrying 20 10-kilogram long-barreled heavy guns and 1 30-kilogram short-barreled heavy artillery fast crab followed and advanced.

The enemy soldiers, who had not eaten much for a long time, looked listless, even though it had been more than an hour old, but in the shoddy camp, there were still few soldiers who got up, and occasionally a few strangers, also to solve physiological problems, and then went back to the camp to sleep after finishing the work.

In the camp, only the campfires that had been burning all night were smoking.

The soldiers who were on the night vigil were also yawning after the night, and one of the servant soldiers saw that no one had come to change the shift, and with a full stomach of resentment, he simply took a nap on the ground.

"Anyway, in broad daylight, there are other people on duty." Coincidentally, other people in this barracks thought the same thing.

In this case, 10 fast crabs of the Navy rushed to the river near the enemy camp and lined up.

A series of flags were played on the flagship.

"Lowering the Sail"

"Anchor"

"Open the Cannon Window"

"Tactical Preparation for Line Shelling"

"First Round Shotgun Preparation"

Under the exchange of flags, the 10 warships quietly lowered their anchors, lowered their sails, and at the same time opened the cannon windows and aimed the muzzles of the black hole at the enemy camp.

On a hill 500 meters outside the enemy camp, 70 infantry guns had already formed a position and aimed their guns at the enemy camp.

The decisive moment has finally come.
