Chapter five hundred and fiftieth fighter
As a mountainous country, war horses are absolutely scarce for North Korea.:.../
Therefore, the 20,000 troops sent by North Korea to Liaodong were less than 500 war horses. In addition to the ones distributed to each general, it could also be used to form cavalry and scouts, less than 300.
Not only that, most of the cavalry with less than 300 people were divided up by the generals and acted as their guards.
Therefore, on the huge battlefield, the Korean army, with 15,000 people left, sent less than fifty scouts to serve as alert tasks around the battlefield. This gave the Tiger and Leopard Army's First Cavalry Division a chance to quickly approach the battlefield.
The scouts of less than fifty people, almost no one escaped the net under the sweep of the 3,000 cavalry of the First Cavalry Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and all suffered a devastating blow. Therefore, when the 3,000 cavalry of the First Cavalry Division successfully lurked two miles behind the Korean army, the Korean army, which was striving to attack the county defenders, did not notice at all.
After arranging the troops, the division commander Zhao Hu directly led three regiment commanders to quietly approach the Korean army under the cover of the bushes around him. Soon, the Korean army camp appeared in everyone's sight.
Perhaps it was because of bullying the county garrisons without heavy artillery, and the mighty Korean army actually pushed the front line to less than two miles away from the city wall.
What’s more important is that the huge army formation with more than 10,000 people was not prepared.
More than 10,000 Koreans were like watching a show, screaming and encouraging the offensive troops, chatting and bragging. If they weren't wearing simple armor and holding weapons in their hands, no one would have thought that they were a group of soldiers.
Faced with this situation, Zhao Hu showed a contempt expression on his face and spoke directly: "This group of Korean troops are really too arrogant... If the city defending troops are not a regiment, but a division, they can directly give them a counterattack and eliminate them here, without returning..."
During the battle against Chaoyang City, several regiment commanders who had been in a passive state of being beaten were like hungry wolves discovering their prey, with three pairs of glasses, and quickly shot out three pairs of hot gazes.
As soon as Zhao Hu finished speaking, one of the group leaders said with a passionate face.
"Teacher, isn't this just a bargain for us... From our hidden position, the fast horse rushed to the battlefield in just a blink of an eye. I can be sure that with the quality of these Korean troops, when we rushed to them, they were not only not ready to fight, but also fell into panic and became in chaos..."
"At that time, we can take advantage of the situation to enter the battlefield. Use sabers and grenades to tell these Koreans that the Tiger and Leopard Army cannot be attacked just by wanting to attack. Since it is opened, it will have to pay a price, and it is a very heavy price."
"Teacher, fight! Such a good opportunity, if you miss it, there will be no more..." Another regiment commander followed and echoed.
At this time, a firm expression from the heart flashed across Zhao Hu's face while the three pairs of eyes were staring at the same time. After that, he shouted: "Since that's the case, then we will strike while the iron is hot and destroy these arrogant Korean troops. At least, we will also severely damage them, make them lose their combat effectiveness, and become the targets of our slaughter."
On the Korean military's position, watching the new round of attacks by the soldiers under his command, they failed again by the gunfire of the defenders, and left hundreds of corpses under the city wall. Although the calm face quickly became gloomy, the gloom did not last long and was covered by the smile that followed.
Because the soldiers who lost the battlefield were not their confidant troops, but their own troops commanded by their political enemies. In his eyes, the more losses such people are, the more stable they will be in the political arena of North Korea.
Not only that, through this battle, I also received the 500,000 taels of silver given to me by the Ming Dynasty for no reason. Why not do it?
Besides, if you are lucky, the opponents you use may be able to take advantage of the opportunity to take over the county town in front of you. In this way, the county town in front of you will become a surprise fortune for you.
Of course, what really makes me covet is not the wealth in the county, but the firearms that the Tiger and Leopard Army in the county have caused a large amount of damage to the Korean army. If I can master these firearms and equip my confidant in the Korean army, then my strength and status will definitely become unprecedentedly stable, and even surpass the King of Korea, which is possible.
Therefore, the commander-in-chief of the Korean military, who had his smile on his face, said without thinking.
"The second thousand-man team continues to attack the city wall. Without the order of our general, no one can retreat. This time, I will use a wheel battle to win the county town in front of me..."
Although the subordinates standing by their side were unwilling and knew that the commander was consuming his own strength. However, when facing the commander far exceeds his own military strength, all they could do was obey.
Then, pray to God that in the next attack, the soldiers under your command will not suffer too much.
When everyone on the battlefield was attracted by the Korean attacking troops again, the account of the commander of the First Cavalry Division had returned to the hiding place of the 3,000 Iron Cavalry.
After summoning dozens of officers from the entire division to his side, the division commander Zhao Hu directly ordered.
"Brothers, I and your regiment commander have watched the Korean army two miles away. Not only is there no warning at all, but the equipment is also behind. I can tell you with certainty that as long as we attack it with all our might, this Korean army will have only one result, that is, the entire army will be destroyed under our attack."
"Now, I will order the entire army to launch an attack on the Korean army from different directions in companies."
"However, in order to eliminate as many Koreans as possible, the Korean army will pay the price completely. Before the attack, each company must conceal and detour one mile away from the Korean army. After obtaining the general's signal, the entire army will launch an assault together..."
On the bustling battlefield, the sound of gunfire kept ringing became the best cover for the First Cavalry Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
In less than an hour, three thousand cavalry and almost thirty cavalry companies were all scattered around the Korean army, ready for assault.
More importantly, after a continuous battle for an hour, whether it was the Korean army attacking the county town or the Korean army shouting on the position, their faces showed a heartfelt exhaustion expression without exception.
