The commander of the Po Slave Army came outside Shanhaiguan. Although he felt deeply moved, he had to take the decisive battle with the Dashun Army seriously. Although the confrontation between Hu Ming and the Dashun Army's old camp ended with a complete victory in the Blade Battalion, the courage of the soldiers of the Dashun Army's old camp to fight to the last one had to deeply admire Zhang Ping'an. The commander of the Po Slave Army's army was good at strategy in battle. Before this battle started, he buried many traps for the Dashun Army. Even the General Staff of the Po Slave Army believed that 80% of them were

Zhang Ping'an, who defeated the Dashun Army, still dared not slacken off. The most taboo thing about the Slave Army in the battle was to have unfamiliar friendly cooperation. Zhang Ping'an excluded the Ming army of Shanhaiguan from this decisive battle with the rebel army. Of course, Zhang Ping'an still gave Wu Sangui some face, saying that the Shanhaiguan defenders and the bandit army had too many casualties in these days, and they could only rest for a few days to be loyal to the country. In order to avoid the Shanhaiguan defenders' rebellion at the critical moment of the battle, Zhang Ping'an arranged for the left Erya troops of the Yixing camp to monitor him.

Zhang Tong, the chief general of the Conquering Yixing Camp, took his headquarters to wait for military orders outside the sea. The conquering Yixing Camp, was a secret chess in the Shanhaiguan battle. If the war was not going well, Zhang Tong's general landed behind the Dashun Army. For this upcoming battle, Zhang Ping'an had dozens of deductions with the General Staff, and the General Staff also took every detail into consideration. After nightfall, Zhang Ping'an, who was tired, reviewed the official documents sent by various places in his commander's tent.

Report, although Zhang Ping'an wanted to be lazy every time, he never forgot his responsibilities. Among these documents, Hong Chengchou, the former governor of Ji Liao of the Ming Dynasty, requested a newspaper to go to the Esrege grassland, which attracted Zhang Ping'an's attention. Originally, Zhang Ping'an arranged Hong Chengchou to serve as prime minister in Lelang Kingdom (North Korea), but was firmly opposed by Yang Lian, the ruler of the Legal Affairs Office. It is said that Hong Chengchou, a shameless dead man, took charge of the prime minister of a country, is simply a shame to the newly established Lelang Kingdom.

Although Zhang Shangde was Zhang Ping'an's eldest son, Zhang Ping'an deprived the inheritance of the Duke of the Kingdom for the rebellion case. As a student Yang Lian liked, Zhang Shangde still received strong support from the old man. Yang Lian said that Hong Chengchou was a dead man, but the defeated army who fled back after the Songshan Battle said that the supervisor Hong Chengchou was killed. Emperor Chongzhen fell to court for three days and personally wrote a memorial to mourn the supervisor Hong Chengchou. Unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou not only did not die for his country, but also shaved his head and changed his clothes to surrender to Jiannu. Now the Duke of China

To reuse Hong Chengchou to stabilize the Lelang Kingdom, Yang Lian, an upright old man, would naturally not agree. It is obvious that Hong Chengchou, who had been struggling in the officialdom for many years, naturally knew that his foundation was not clean. Yang Lian was also known as the leader of the Ming Dynasty's Donglin. If Yang Lian opposed Hong Chengchou's appointment of the Duke of China, Zhang Ping'an, would be afraid of it. After thinking about it, Zhang Ping'an did not send Hong Chengchou to the bitter and cold place of the Esrege Grassland. Instead, he appointed him as the chief manager of the Northern Camp, replacing Xu Yian and Zhang Huzhou here.

Xu Yian, the chief commander of the Investigation Office, was highly qualified, with high prestige and amazing power. Zhang Huzhou was a very pure local snake in Ping'an City for more than ten years. With these two people here, Hong Chengchou, the chief manager of the Investigation Office, was absolutely frustrated. Zhang Ping'an transferred Xu Yian to the front line. First, the Investigation Office was most familiar with the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and second, Xu Yian had a long time in the Ming Dynasty and had deep connections in Nanzhili. These factors were the reasons why Zhang Ping'an urgently needed to feel the front line. With the main force of the Slave Army in the south, the civil yamen also focused on Liaodong and the newly established

Lelang Country. According to the command of the commander Zhang Ping'an, people who cannot speak Chinese are not allowed to live in Lelang Country. As for the Korean cultural scholars who can speak and write, almost all of them are detained and detained by the Investigation and Insurgency Office. Deputy Prime Minister Long Tao served as the chief general of the Liaodong camp, and Prime Minister Chen Liang was in charge of the Ponu City. Zhang Ping'an's eldest son Zhang Shangde was also released from the circle and served as the king of the Lelang Country. Chen Zheng, deputy commander of the Ponu Army, led the headquarters of the Huben Camp, and the commander Huang Wei and other troops to move to Shenyang, while the commander Li Chen was in charge of the aftermath in Lelang Country.

With the deputy commander Chen Zheng returned to Liaodong, Luotian tribe Tianxiong Camp was transferred from the bank of the Yalu River to Guangning City. Since Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Slave Army, did not allow foreigners to participate in the Han civil war, the Mongolian tribe cavalry of the East and West Hakkas were clearing out the remaining Jurchen tribes in the mountains. Capturing and expelling the Koreans was also the errands of these two Mongolian Khanate countries, which made the Mongolian cavalry not idle for at least three to five years. With the Du Yehe tribe of the personal camp controlled the core city of Shanhaiguan, Zhang Ping'an ordered all Ming troops in Nanyicheng and Ninghaicheng that night.

Entering the north wing city through the outside of the east side of the Great Wall. The General Staff of the Ponu Army also issued a death order to the Shanhaiguan Guard. During the decisive battle between the Ponu Army and the Dashun Army, except for the messenger who conveyed military information, anyone else could go out of the city to kill him without mercy. The Ponu Army was not good at cooperating with unfamiliar friendly troops. The commander of the First Army, Zhang Ping'an, was even more afraid of friendly troops with weak combat power. If the defeat in the war affects the morale of the Ponu Army, for this reason, Zhang Ping'an did not want to see the Ming army in Shanhaiguan during the decisive battle with the Dashun Army.

Regarding the upcoming war, although Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Nu Army, was fully prepared before the war, but he still got up after sleeping for two hours, and came to the city wall west of Shanhaiguan Guancheng. Last night, Zhang Ping'an received a report from an observation staff member, saying that the Dashun Army was setting up the battlefield with a light at night. Therefore, Zhang Ping'an personally came to the front line to observe the battlefield. Zhang Ping'an, who came to the arrow tower in the west gate of Guancheng to watch the enemy situation, saw the positions illuminated by torches seven miles away, and he had a heart.

Silk worry. The Dashun Army obviously used the west bank of the Dashi River as the boundary to build a defensive position here. Zhang Ping'an had long seen its power in the era of Gao Chuang King. The dense and curved trenches were connected to each other, and the thick wooden sign obstacle zone was stacked and wide, which could effectively prevent the Posou Army cavalry from attacking the Dashun Army camp. There were countless black shadows behind the wooden sign obstacle zone, and there was no light here to give people imagination space. Zhang Ping'an speculated that this might be the Dashun Army artillery array.

Zhang Ping'an observed with his naked eyes that although the construction time of the Dashun Army's defensive position was limited, it could use existing materials to build fortifications, but it had its own unique features. Moreover, the Dashun Army's position had a front line and a depth, which was enough to delay the Possess cavalry galloping on the battlefield at will. As the sky shone brightened, Zhang Ping'an's vision of observing the enemy was much clearer. Zhang Ping'an could see the entire defense depth of the Dashun Army. He found that the Dashun Army's defensive zone was three miles wide, and the rear was still

It is continuing to expand. If it is repaired like this by the Dashun Army, God knows how wide they can be built. The Dashun Army's front defensive position is about one mile from the Dashi River. At the front is a two-meter-wide trench with dense wooden signs. Behind the trench is a half-man high guard wall, with two rows of half-meter wooden signs exposed in front of the guard wall facing outward. The two wooden signs are separated by about three meters apart. With the trench and this wooden sign obstacle, it can effectively prevent direct attacks by the Possess cavalry.

After roughly reading the arrangements of the Dashun Army, Zhang Ping'an couldn't help but sigh that this war also pays attention to applicability. As long as you can win the war, all the advantages of your opponent can be used for yourself. Zhang Ping'an's sigh was not over yet, and Chief of Staff Gu Xin came to him with dark eyes. Zhang Ping'an and Gu Xin hang out all day long, and he knew that Gu Xin was behind him without just listening to the footsteps. Zhang Ping'an looked at the battlefield and said, "You are here. You have been suffering during this period. When we fight to the capital, we will let you rest for a few days."

"Oh, when did your boss become so kind? I know I am as tired as a dead dog. Let's talk about the capital, thank you for letting you sleep for three days in five days." Gu Xin said with a tired face. In the past few days, he has mobilized personnel in the General Staff, arranged the order of attacks from various departments, and dispatched the entire army's food and grass to issue orders one by one. Fortunately, some of the staff members were very detailed, and Gu Xin had six thousand general staff members in charge of each of them, otherwise Gu Xin would be too tired to be busy.

"Hahaha! OK! The young man dared to threaten the commander on the battlefield, be careful of me hitting you in the ass!... Over the years, you have become more and more comprehensive instigated, and even the things I didn't consider can be made up for. Alas, I am old... I am getting older... I'm getting less and less energetic recently, and I don't even think about women. Do you think I'm physically wrong?" Zhang Ping'an originally didn't want to use the chariot battalion in the Shanhaiguan Campaign, but wanted the cavalry to directly attack the Dashun Army on the battlefield. However, Chief of Staff Gu Xin made several suggestions that the chariot battalion has always been the main force in field battles. If there is an unpredictable change in the battlefield, it would be too late to think about using the chariot battalion.

Today, Zhang Ping'an personally observed the battlefield and realized how accurate Gu Xin's prediction was. He sat behind the Dashun Army's guardrail front line, and he could tell with his naked eyes that these were all Dashun Army cannon fodder. Of course, there were still gunners on the front line of the Dashun Army, and these gunners mainly operated tiger cannons. It was the tiger cannons on the enemy's front line, which made Zhang Ping'an sincerely appreciate Gu Xin's carefulness. If the Possess Army wanted to test the cavalry and musket army battled hard, it might be able to break through, but there would definitely be a lot of casualties.

With the chariots covering the battle in front, the Slave Army could have been more than half of the casualties. Zhang Ping'an saw three lines of defense in the Dashun Army. He knew that the Dashun Army would temporarily form a new line of defense during the war. At least Zhang Ping'an saw the Dashun Army place the neatly-clad warriors on the second line of defense. There were not only trench guards, but also a passage to the first line of defense. These hundreds of passages that bent through the wooden barrier area not only connect the two lines of defense, but also provide reinforcements during front-line crisis.

The two defense lines of the Dashun Army were thirty meters apart, and the 300 artillery pieces of the Dashun Army's Shenji Battalion were arranged in this line. As a commander who was used to fighting wars, Zhang Ping'an could see at a glance that the arrangement was brilliant. The large artillery of the Dashun Army was hidden in the bunker. The soil guardrail of more than two meters outside could effectively resist the bombardment of the heavy artillery of the Pound Army. Even if the heavy artillery of the Pound Army accurately hit the enemy's bunker, it might not be possible to destroy it at once. Soft can overcome hardness, and the thick appearance and soft sand inside can absorb most of the lethality of the artillery. The heavy artillery of the Pound Army can destroy the city wall that wraps the city bricks, but it is almost impossible to accurately hit the bunker without a large artillery hole. Since the Dashun Army has a defensive posture, the Pound Army must take the initiative to attack and break the enemy's defense line. (To be continued)
