The 253rd chapter million siege counterattack (twenty-two)
Zhang Ping'an, who was struggling with the slow attack speed of the Po Slave Army's attack group, was also in the same mood as Lin Danhan. When he saw the chaos in the Mongolian army, he kept slapped himself in the face. He regretted that he was too conservative in his use of troops. If he had adopted the double-peak piercing tactic according to his earliest ideas, he would definitely have achieved greater victory.
The chaotic Mongolian cavalry showed that their appearance was powerful, but the real situation was so vulnerable. As long as the chariot of the Slave Army and the crossbows were equipped with the ranks, they would definitely penetrate the Mongolian army formation. The clamping tactics of the two units of the Slave Army and surround the main force of the Lin Danhan Mongolian army would definitely be no problem.
As long as Lin Dankhan's main force is eliminated, from a strategic perspective, he will no longer be worried about being attacked on both sides. At least he can calmly deal with the Jurchens without considering the threat from behind. If Lin Dankhan's main force escapes this time, he will definitely be ruthless when facing the Jurchens in the future and always beware of the enemies behind him.
Just when Zhang Ping'an, the general of the Po Slave Army, was still self-harm, the Ludeyin chariot troops, who had taken over the enemy, walked out a standard large inclined attack formation during the march. The half of Ludeyin's body was exposed in the circular window on the top of the chariot, and he issued instructions in his mouth to adjust the formation of the chariot.
Lu Deyin was very proud. His chariot battalion had 300 chariots, seven meters apart from each other. The north was thin and the south was thick, forming a blade on the battlefield. The formation of the ghost sword team followed the chariots layer by layer and rushed straight to the formation of ten thousand Mongolian cavalry. With the launch of the crossbows on the chariot, the enemy in front of him, one mile away was unable to fight back.
The launch of the chariot caused great chaos among the Mongolian cavalry. Even if the brave Mongolian soldiers rushed towards the chariot, they were not attacking in an orderly manner in a large group, and as soon as they entered the range of the chariot, they were immediately killed and injured by the musket soldiers in the chariot. The other attacking cavalry were frightened by the muskets again, because the horses were frightened by the muskets.
The four strong oxen in the chariot were blindfolded and rushed forward under the whip of the soldiers driving the chariot. Their ox hooves occasionally stomped on the belly of the Mongolian wounded soldiers, and blood splattered along the gaps in the carriage so that the carriage was everywhere. The chariot invented by Zhang Dashi, the Powder Army, was comparable to the tanks in later generations.
As soon as the chariot entered the Mongolian cavalry formation, the pointed front of the chariot would push the dense cavalry formation. In conjunction with the slashing of the chariots, blood-colored passages were plowed into the Mongolian cavalry formation. Any Mongolian warriors cut by the chariots would basically be broken into large red meat pieces, along with their men and horses.
Lu Deyin is becoming more and more confident at this moment. He thinks that his elder brother Zhang Ping'an is right. The troops of Mongolia Lin Dankhan are less powerful than those of the Jurchen old slaves. At least when the chariot battalion attacked the Jurchen camp, the Jurchen troops used the strong camp to resist for a long time. If it weren't for the Nurhaci flag being taken away, his troops would not know how much they would have to lose to break the Jurchen strong camp.
Hu Ming, who was responsible for the security of the right wing of the attacking troops, saw the enemy cavalry in front of him, and was unable to form a formation by the Ludeyin chariot troops, and was secretly anxious about his military achievements. He stood up from the horse's back and wanted to observe the enemy situation, but could march the box car formation in the army, blocking his sight.
The Mongolian cavalry, which was attacked by the chariots, gradually became awake and responded positively. Although they were still in chaos, there were also a small group of troops under the command of Qianhu, Mongolia, and counterattacked the right-wing troops of the Po Slave Army. This insignificant counterattack also caused considerable trouble to Lu Xiangsheng and the others.
These Mongolian cavalry knew that the bows and arrows in their hands could not cause damage to the body of the carriage, so they specifically attacked the horses pulling the box trucks. The Mongolians were worthy of being the strong men on the horse's back. They aimed at the box trucks and pack horses again and again to shoot accurately, making the box trucks and pack horses fall to the ground. More than 400 box trucks of the Boxer Army's box truck troops stopped their attack after losing the pack horses. This made Lu Xiangsheng, who was in charge of commanding the right wing troops, anxious. He quickly found Hu Ming and Yu Guangcai to discuss countermeasures.
When Chen Zheng attacked, he found that Zhang Dashen's pre-war arrangements were somewhat conservative. His left wing did not have too many enemies at all, but the right wing of the army was always a concern for him. So he also assigned Wu Tianxing to this direction. When Lu Xiangsheng wanted to discuss countermeasures, Wu Tianxing also came over.
Hu Ming came to the parking van and did not rush to make any suggestions. Instead, he climbed up to the top of the van, took out the telescope, and observed the enemy's movements. As he looked at Hu Ming, he discovered a small flaw in the Mongolian military formation, and a bad idea came up in his mind.
胡明从箱车上跳下来,就跟卢象升商议道:“卢佥事,咱们必须得留下不能走动的箱车继续进攻.要不然,大帅饶不了我们.”
卢象升听罢知道胡明说的是实情,可他满脸痛苦不舍的表情:“这几百箱车里的兄弟,就这样放弃了,我实在是不忍心.”
"I think Lao Hu is right. Every time the Grand Marshal commands a battle, no one can bear the consequences of the Grand Marshal's anger if he doesn't obey the order." The person Wu Tianxing fears the most has always been Zhang Ping'an. He knew that Zhang Ping'an had an opinion on him. If he hadn't followed him early, Zhang Dashan would have beaten him naked. Therefore, he was the most determined to execute Zhang Dashan's orders.
“我有个主意,可以既保护留下来的兄弟,又能继续执行大帅的命令.卢佥事,你看…...”胡明一脸犹豫地看着卢象升.
“胡统领有主意你就说.要是有用,出事我给你兜着!”卢象升这时真有些急眼,他急迫地想知道答案.
"I want to fight a counterattack, and Lu Qianshi left five thousand troops here. Yang Wei's artillery team was slow to march and could not keep up with the pace of the large army. So I simply let Yang Wei's artillery team form a defense line here. Lu Qianshi, Guangcai, Wu Ge lead the large army to continue to protect the right wing of the army. If I succeed in counterattack, I may be behind the enemy. In this way, the enemy's threat to my right wing troops will be weakened. If my counterattack is hit by the Mongolian Tartars, I will lead the troops to attack around the artillery team and protect the back of the entire large army."
Hu Ming's suggestion was immediately approved by Lu Xiangsheng. He forgot all the advice Zhang Ping'an had given to strictly control Hu Ming's chaos before the war. After leaving Hu Ming's troops and the five thousand troops drawn from his headquarters, he took Wu Tianxing and the remaining box trucks to continue to protect the right wing of the army.
由于张平安的注意力,被小白山战场吸引住.没能及时发现进攻集团这一变化,这就给了胡明一个机会.
When Hu Ming saw Lu Xiangsheng leave, he grabbed Yang Wei and started discussing. Hu Ming, who was observing the enemy situation in the box truck, found that although the Mongolian army was in chaos, there was still a gap between the formations of several tens of thousands of people. Especially on the north side of the box truck, there was a large gap of 60 feet wide.
Hu Ming also discovered that these ten thousand-person formations are composed of different tribes. The trust between different tribes is very low. Even if the cavalry in each division is panicked, they will not go into other military formations. Given this situation, he just wanted to take a gamble.
Unexpectedly, he met another Yang Wei who wanted to make a contribution. The two who were in a stinky manner planned together, and even Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Slave Army, emerged boldly under their plans. Yang Wei first pushed the artillery position directly to a place less than a mile from the Mongolian army.
Turn the box trucks left and left and right wings of the artillery team to protect the core position of the artillery team. The 5,000 people left by Lu Xiangsheng turned into infantry to defend the front and back of the crossbow cannon positions. Yang Wei divided the 500 moving crossbow cannons into three layers in an orderly manner. He wanted to turn the crossbow cannon into three-stage attack tactics to give Hu Ming continuous and effective firepower support.
胡明留下本部二千火铳手,交给杨威作预备队.他自己则亲自带领六千骑兵,做好了出击准备.
With the explosion of the first round of the crossbows* of the Yang Wei artillery Team, the cavalry led by Hu Ming formed two attack formations and entered the jog. When Hu Ming arranged the attack formation, he took into account the differences in his troops' weapons and deliberately placed the musket cavalry in the center of the formation.
随着战马的速度越来越快,胡明拔出战刀双脚紧踩马镫,高呼:“平…抢!兄弟们!战!”
胡明发出的战号,得到了部下战意高昂的回应:“战!战!战!”
The six thousand cavalry warships finally attracted the attention of Zhang Ping'an, who was commanding the battle in Baishan. Only then did he realize the changes in the attacking group. He quickly put his eyes in front of the high-power telescope and watched Hu Ming's every move. As he looked, Zhang Ping'an sighed loudly: "These two damn guys got together and actually developed the cannon and horse coordination tactic! I'm not as good as this!"
Gu Xin was shocked when he heard the sigh of Marshal Zhang. He hurriedly aimed his telescope at the attacking Hu Ming cavalry and responded in a surprised tone: "This? This! This is too awesome! Hu Ming's cavalry was actually advancing by the explosion of shells. He was not afraid of being bombed. Yang Wei is very brave! Sister Yang has to learn from him!"
"Flagspeaker's order: Order Chen Zheng to put the reserve team Xu Liang's unit into Hu Ming's direction. Xu Zhen's unit escapes from the left wing. If Hu Ming opens a gap in the battle in this direction, Xu Zhen's unit will also attack from this direction, and Li Chen follows!" Zhang Ping'an saw that Hu Ming was about to break through the enemy's formation, so he hurriedly adjusted his deployment.
当陈铮得到张平安的命令后,才知道胡明居然在大军的右翼,搞出这样的动静.于是他根据战场事态,迅速做出调整.
As the commander of the offensive force, Chen Zheng discovered when Lude Silver Chariot attacked the enemy, he had only four 10,000-man formations in front of him. Lude Silver Chariot troops broke up the Mongolian cavalry in front after five rounds of crossbows fired. The enemy on the left wing of the Possess Army attacked the enemy was defeated. Li Chen and Xu Zhen had more than 10,000 troops in this direction, and it was a waste to fight against the enemy.
