The capture of Liaoyang was unbelievably smooth, and the biggest trouble for the 'revolutionary army' was even how to cross more than 100 kilometers of roads to send troops from Gaizhou. Due to the lack of backup, the price of grain in the city skyrocketed several times, the people starved to death in large numbers, and the Ming army in Liaoyang City had no morale. If it weren't for Nurhachi's enslavement and large-scale massacre, Liaoyang would have surrendered long ago.

After Zhou Qingfeng led the team into the city, he immediately provided relief to the whole city. A large number of seized gentry grain shops were all opened to set up porridge sheds, and everyone in the city could eat and drink openly. The profiteers who hoarded Juqi were directly arrested and put to public trial and executed. The Ye family, the most powerful in Liaoyang, was even uprooted, and hundreds of people with blood debts were hanged in one day, just to appease the people's anger.

With the method of vajra to show the bodhisattva's heart, Liaoyang instantly stabilized.

It's just that Liaoyang is settled, but Jiannu, who is waiting in Shenyang City 60 kilometers away, can't sit idly by.

Zhou Qingfeng personally led the team to Liaoyang, and immediately sent cavalry to the north to conduct armed reconnaissance and shelter, probing the enemy's movements and preventing the enemy from understanding the situation in Liaoyang. The usage of cavalry in the era of cold weapons was reconnaissance, masking, detouring, and pursuit. Fighting hard with cavalry frontal and tightly formed infantry is an absolute fool.

Since Liaoyang is only 60 kilometers away from Shenyang, the 'revolutionary army' taking Liaoyang this time is tantamount to being carried out under the nose of the enemy. In order to provide time for the relocation of the population and the construction of defenses, Han Shi of the cavalry battalion of the Guards personally took a company to Shenyang to conduct reconnaissance.

The scout cavalry was all one man and two horses, and the three platoons took turns to advance alternately, covering each other. When Han Shi led people to approach the Hunhe River on the south bank of Shenyang, he found that Jiannu was unaware of the action of the 'revolutionary army'. When his people appeared, Jiannu's sentry outside the city seemed to wake up from a dream, blowing a trumpet and calling for help.

The north wind is howling, the heavens and the earth are frozen, so that people can hang ice ridges under their noses. Han Shi rode on a horse, holding a telescope in his hand and looked at the head of Shenyang City. As soon as he crossed the Tiger Skin Post south of Shenyang, he found that there was no one there. The Jurchen barbarians felt that the Han people did not dare to come at all, and they were defenseless at all.

"It's freezing, and these barbarians are too lazy to move." Han Shi smiled. He couldn't go to the siege, but it was also very pleasant to see a few sentry sentry operating outside the city panic. "Their horses have no concentrate to eat, and they are all thin. The armor is not as complete as ours. It's quite nice for a person and a rat's tail hanging from the back of his head. ”

For Han Shi's ridicule, the cavalry who followed laughed. The cost of raising one cavalry is enough to raise five infantrymen. The cavalry of the 'revolutionary army' were all selected at various levels, well-fed and well-dressed, and their training was extremely strict, and they were warm when they came out in winter. In terms of equipment, any of them reached the level of the enemy's mid-level generals, so their morale was extremely high.

Han Shi scolded on the horse, and with a raised hand, he called the three cavalry squad leaders beside him, "Those barbarians are all arrogant soldiers, and they will definitely not let us wander outside the city." The first squad gave me an ambush in the woods to the east, the second squad went behind the low slope to the west, and the third squad followed me to the front to lead the enemy to chase me. As long as the number of barbarians rushing out does not exceed fifty, we will make him a dumpling. ”

Luring the enemy deep and ambushing on the flanks is a tactic that all squads, platoons, companies, and battalion-level officers of the Guards have to practice repeatedly. Although this trick is simple, it has many variations and is very flexible to use. The group is repeatedly used in the martial arts chessboard, and they constantly face each other.

The three cavalry squads immediately dispersed according to Han Shi's arrangement, and soon a group of Jurchen cavalry rushed out of Shenyang City on the opposite side, and they were killed in flames. Han Shi led the team out and saw it through the binoculars. He grinned and said, "Fifty people, there is really a cow record." ”

The Hunhe River is frozen, and the river surface is very strong. The Jurchen cavalry crossed the river directly, and the men and horses of Chao Han Shi were killed. Looking through the binoculars, the barbarians on the opposite side are all wearing armor, and they are definitely the elite of the banner owner's subordinates. There were more people in the city of Shenyang, although they could not see clearly from too far away, but the appearance of the Han cavalry obviously alarmed the senior Jurchen officers in the city.

"Let's go, bring them here." Han Shi led the team to retreat as soon as he flicked his horse's head. Their horses eat beans and hay all winter, and horses eat more than people. At this moment, the horses were fat and strong, and they had a lot of strength, and they turned around and ran away with a class.

When the Jurchen cavalry on the opposite side saw that Han Shi was leaving, they also whipped hard to speed up the pursuit. However, their horses were not treated so well, and it was good to be able to eat hay in the winter—the barbarian cattle, sheep, and horses lost their weight every winter, so they always took advantage of the autumn when the horses were strong to go south to plunder the Han Chinese.

Han Shishi turned his head as he ran, and after speeding out of Erlidi, he could clearly feel that the Jurchen cavalry behind him was slowing down. This also forced him to slow down and hang the enemy all the time. The distance between the two sides was only about 100 meters, and the Jurchen barbarians behind shouted and cursed.

Waiting for the barbarian to run past the ambush set up, Han Shi immediately shouted to the herald beside him: "Blow the trumpet, attack on the left flank." ”

It was not easy to blow the suona on the horse, and the herald had to loosen the reins and grab the suona with both hands to blow it vigorously. As soon as a few shrill tones sounded, a cavalry squad lying in ambush in the woods on the left flank rode out and slaughtered it with lightning speed.

The sound of suona startled the Jurchen cavalry chasing behind, and Niu Lu Ezhen, who led the team, was stunned when he saw the flank ambush. He quickly assessed the contrast between the enemy and the enemy, and found that his men and horses were more than twice as large as this group of bold Han Chinese, and quickly ordered one part to turn to the left to meet the enemy, while the other continued to pursue.

Han Shi in front was turning, and when he saw the opponent's division of troops, he immediately drew his cavalry sword with laughter, raised his head and shouted: "Blow again, attack on the right flank, and close the circle." ”

In the various drills on the chessboard, luring the enemy into depth is a routine that everyone is very accustomed to. Judging whether the enemy is true or falsely defeated is a difficult problem that every commander and fighter must learn and master, and repeated drills have caused many tactical masters to emerge within the guards who are good at seizing the opportunity.

Han Shi was worried that if the two ambushes came out together, the enemy would likely turn around and run. He simply waited for the opponent to make a certain response before ambushing the right flank. An enemy caught in an ambush will inevitably panic, and two ambushes will make the panic continue to expand. In particular, the Jurchen cavalry, which turned to the left flank, aimed its butt at the Guards cavalry that appeared on the right flank, and its panic was even more doubling.

Obviously, the number of people has nearly doubled, but in the face of Niu Lu Ezhen, who is surrounded on three sides, he is angry and screams. Speed is the life of the cavalry, and at this time, it is too late for him to turn and escape, and Han Shi, who lures the enemy, will definitely turn around and stab him in the ass.

The Jurchen cavalry that was now pursuing could only rush forward. Niu Lu Ezhen, who led the team, hoped to use his numerical advantage of thirty people to defeat Han Shi's team of only about ten people on the opposite side first.

Han Shi is very cunning. He mastered the rhythm of the battlefield, and as soon as he saw that the opponent did not turn around, he turned diagonally and did not rush to fight hard with the opponent. He always kept his bow range fifty meters away from the enemy, fishing for his opponent - Zhou Qingfeng likes to fight brutely, but his request to his subordinates is to use his brains.

In the winter, Niu Lu, who led the team, broke out in a cold sweat, and his heart was instantly cold. When he looked back, he saw that the twenty men he had ordered to stop the enemy on the left flank had been outflanked in front and rear—the valiant Guards cavalry had really rushed forward, not like their opponents, in a dilemma.

A cavalry squad leader rushed to the front with his sword held high, and his companions followed closely to his left and right. The enemy on the opposite side panicked when they saw another group of Guards cavalry appearing behind them, and their reaction was to immediately flee to both sides. It's just that it's not easy to escape when this charge collides, and the cavalry squad leader quickly closes the distance with the opponent, and the blade in his hand is gently dragged.

With a bang, the knife flashed.

The speed of the horses is exerted on the blade, and the repeatedly forged cavalry knife also increases the hardness of the edge quenching, making it extremely sharp. A knife slashed at the armor-piercing metal pieces worn by the enemy, and the pieces of pig iron were immediately shattered by the slash, and flew in all directions. There was also a layer of cotton armor under the armor, but it was also quickly cut, revealing the innermost flesh and blood.

The Jurchen elite like to put two layers of armor on themselves, because the current armor is not of good quality, and it is also a symbol of their status. In the past, only officers of the first level of Niu Lu were able to put another layer of armor on top of a layer of warm cotton armor. But now that Shenyang has been defeated, ordinary elite soldiers can be so extravagant.

It was the two-layer armor defense that gave these barbarians great confidence that they could fight to the death in the face of siege - but this confidence was quickly shattered!

A Jurchen cavalryman shouted in front of him, but was dragged by the enemy's sword. The armor that protected the chest and abdomen was cut directly, and a stream of blood gushed out from the bottom. He stumbled and fell from his horse.

Without waiting for the Jurchen cavalry behind to understand, in the blink of an eye, several cavalrymen in a row were fighting face to face. Without exception, the Han cavalry, which was supposed to be weak and bullied, won one after another. Their horses were faster, their impacts were stronger, and they were even skilled in the moment of fighting.

Every knife of the Guards cavalry was a similar action, there were no superfluous feints and useless babbling, it was just a drag with the fastest speed of the horsepower - the armor was broken and the corpse was crooked.

Finally, someone desperately slashed at the guards cavalry. But no matter how hard the Jurchen barbarians tried, their knives couldn't cut through the opponent's bright silver breastplate. The blades hit each other without a crisp sound, and even slashed too hard, and the knife came off or even broke.

The result of the collision between the two sides was that the Guards cavalry was unscathed, while the Jurchen cavalry was stunned by the cooperation of their left and right swords, and seven people were hacked to death. And this is not the worst, the worst thing is that the Guards cavalry who came from behind also killed. They even poked them in the ass of the Jurchens.

The newly frustrated Jurchen cavalry was in a state of panic and scattered, completely defenseless against the enemy who rushed up behind. At best, they turned around and swung the knives in their hands to try to stop their opponents from approaching. But the high-morale Guards cavalry showed no mercy, raising their swords and slashing at them.

The screams of the dying continued to sound, and the pursued Jurchen cavalry was constantly cut down. The falling human heads rolled on the ground, which further stimulated the Guards cavalry to cheer for the revenge of the people of Liaodong.

Han Shi in front grasped the enemy's embarrassment, he finally turned around and raised his sword high, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, rush with me, let the Tartars see the power of our cavalry." ”
