Chapter 255: Hundreds of Cannons

However, Suke Saha has been fighting for many years, and although he has suffered a lot of losses in the hands of Chen Xin, he is not an idiot after all, and he still has some progress.

When he learned that the Huaxia army had captured Panmunjom, he reacted quickly, while assembling the team, and at the same time sending a large number of cavalry and sentinels to attack in all directions to find out the intelligence of the Huaxia army.

First of all, Sukh Saha's main concern is, where did the Huaxia Army come from?

This question is related to the question of his next step.

If the troops landed ashore from the sea, it would not be a big deal.

After all, Ganghwa Island was not far from Shangjing, where he was, and when he was in Beijing, he could hear reports from time to time that a small unit of the Huaxia Army on Ganghwa Island had broken into his hinterland and carried out surprise attacks.

But if the Huaxia Army came out of the Hufeiling Mountain Range, then the matter would be a big deal.

He didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if the Huaxia Army really came out of the Hufeiling Mountain Range.

If the Huaxia Army could easily let the army come out of the mountains, but he didn't receive any reports from An Buyang and the Jin Army led by him in the mountains, what did it mean?

That shows that the Huaxia Army easily encircled and annihilated more than 30,000 Houjin troops led by An Buyang, plus tens of thousands of aha and baoyi.

In his thoughts, he did decide that the army led by An Buyang could not fight the Huaxia army, and it was likely to suffer heavy losses.

He deliberately provoked An and asked him to lead the troops personally, just thinking that the Huaxia army would beat An Bu once, so that he could recognize the form and know that in the big battle last year, he Suke Saha was defeated, and it was not his crime.

In his mind, as long as An doesn't fight, he can lose a game, and the "black history" between the two sides can be regarded as "flattened".

An Buyang can no longer use last year's defeat to satirize him.

An Bu Yang can no longer rely on his black history to win the support of those Houjin officers who did not participate in last year's war, and come to seize power with him.

However, no matter how much he thought about it, he never thought about it, the Huaxia Army was able to annihilate the army without being able to leave, and no one escaped to report the news.

He anxiously awaited the sentry's return.

However, the speed of the cavalry was still quite fast, and with the fact that Shangjing, where he was located, it was not too far from Panmunjom and Tasan. Before dark, the routed friendly forces near Panmunjom were found, and there was accurate information on the direction of the Huaxia army's attack.

Of course, the most important thing is that Goryeo is a small country, which is equivalent to the territory of a small province in the Ming Dynasty.

After Sukh Saha got accurate information from the front, he was a little blindsided.

The Huaxia army actually came out of the mountain from the direction of Tashan, and quickly defeated its own army stationed in Panmunjom, which had absolute geographical and defensive superiority.

This is really not in Sukh Saha's plans.

The army led by An Buyan, who had a total of more than 60,000 people, was completely wiped out silently, and he couldn't even escape from the news.

Panmunjom had been excavated for several months, and the "strong" fortifications, which had been almost completed and were garrisoned by 5,000 regular troops plus more than 40,000 auxiliaries and civilians, were breached and occupied in one afternoon.

Let's not talk about An Buyang's more than 60,000 troops, after all, An Buyang is responsible there, and he is not very clear about the actual situation.

However, as for the Panmunjom defensive position, he himself arranged it himself, imitating the [Fortress] multi-faceted and in-depth defense system proposed by Chen Xin of Huaxia State.

Although it is just a bit of imitation and learning, he has also experimented with mountain bandits and rebels, and the effect is very good.

It was not an easy task to capture the fortifications under the fire of the musketeers and artillery of the fortress complex.

He really didn't know when the combat effectiveness of the Huaxia Army became so ferocious, it was like hanging up.

Sukh Saha pondered for a long time and asked the sentinel, "The Huaxia people brought cannons?" With his own knowledge, he can only come to such a conclusion.

The sentry knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head, and carefully responded to Sukh Saha's question, "Yes, master, the Huaxia people have brought cannons. ”

Sukh Saha asked a little hesitantly, "There are a lot of cannons?" ”

Even the dozen or so cannons that An Bu carried into the mountains were carried by redundant people, and they were dragged by people pulling horses, and they were transported to the outskirts of the mountains after they were tired to death of hundreds of ahas.

The Huaxia Army is far from Tashan, which has to cross the entire Hufeiling Mountain Range, and the difficulty of transportation in such a long mountainous area is not comparable to that of An Buyang.

Although he himself did not think that the Chinese who came out of the mountains would bring many cannons. However, since the Huaxia Army was able to defeat the Panmunjom defenders so quickly and capture the fortress group, it could only be such a reason.

Sure enough, the sentry responded, "There are at least 17 artillery pieces that can be seen outside the camp of the Huaxia Army, and the number of artillery pieces inside the camp is probably even more." ”

Sukh Saha was shocked: "How can there be so many artillery?" There are 17 cannons on the periphery alone, and there must not be nearly a hundred artillery pieces in the camp? ”

Sukh Saha and the sentinels he sent out made a mistake, in the Houjin army, artillery is a precious weapon, much more expensive than people, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a strategic weapon, so it needs to be well hidden in the middle of the camp and carefully protected.

In the Chinese Army, artillery is used to serve the soldiers, and the value of the existence of artillery is to reduce the casualties of military personnel, so it is necessary to place the artillery in a place where it can fire and cover the infantry at any time.

The southern assault group of the Huaxia Army only carried a total of 17 infantry guns, and Sukh Saha was scaring himself.

Of course, in this era, in the eyes of the post-Jin army, it can be regarded as a grenade launcher for artillery, and the number carried by the southern assault cluster is still very large, and if you count these things, Sukh Saha's words cannot be wrong.

But that thing is very hidden, and it can't be regarded as artillery in the Huaxia Army, it's just one of the individual support weapons.

After Sukh Saha miscalculated the number of artillery of the Huaxia Army, his face was very ugly, and he fell into a state of wandering.

The sentry saw that his master did not speak for a long time, kneeling on the ground, his knees hurting, but without his master to speak, he did not dare to move, and he had no choice but to brush up a little cleverness, thinking of waking up Suke Saha with new information.

So, he said tremblingly, "Master, the slave also heard a news that after the Huaxia army captured Panmunjom, it did not continue to attack, but rested on the spot.

In addition, the minions who watched Ganghwa Island also came to report that it was the Chinese people there, and they had transported a lot of carts ashore, as if they were transporting grain and grass. ”

"Huh?" Sukh Saha instantly returned to his soul, although he was still very young, but as a surviving officer of a hundred battles, he quickly captured a trace of the fighter in it.

Quickly grasping that glimmer of light in his mind, Sukh Saha eagerly asked, "Is the grain and grass being transported to Panmunjom, or to where?" ”

The sentry looked at his master's eager and hideous appearance, and was a little frightened, but he didn't dare to delay, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "The slave still doesn't know." However, the minions believe that eighty percent of them were shipped to Panmunjom. ”
