Chapter 315: The Bloody Battle of Shaanxi (9)
On the noisy battlefield, the war drums of both sides of the war were sounding together, and the rumbling drums were thundering as if a musical sound of ghosts and wolves was playing. The Slave Army still broke through a little full blooming tactic. This kind of tactic that anyone with a discerning eye could not break the tide of the rebel army led by Gao Yingxiang.
Just after the Ghost Sword Team of the Pound Army broke through the defense line of the Break Army again, Luo Tian, who was responsible for observing the enemy situation, discovered a strange look in the rear formation of the Break Army. Through the high-power telescope, he saw many inconspicuous black mounds on the third line of the Break Army. Because he couldn't see clearly from too far, he took five staff officers to pick up the high-power telescope and ran forward. He didn't have much skill, so he followed Luo Tian's personal guards to report to Zhang Ping'an: "Master, Deputy General Luo asked me to report: The Break Army seemed to have prepared a lot of dry firewood on the next line of defense. According to Deputy General Luo, Luo, it is inferred that the Break Army may launch a fire attack!"
"Well, I understand. Send 200 personal soldiers to protect Luo Tianzhouquan!" Zhang Ping'an replied expressionlessly, then stood up and walked to the high-power telescope. He took off his helmet and quilted his left eye to observe the breaking position of the Possess Army, and then aimed the telescope at the next high ground of the defensive line of the rebel army as Luo Tian said.
On the battlefield of fierce battle, thick black clouds fluttered and small snowflakes. The falling snowflakes made Zhang Ping'an look up at the sky. After watching for a while, Zhang Ping'an took a few deep breaths of cold air with his nose, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lifted slightly.
"Order! All attacking troops wait for the artillery team to replenish ammunition before attacking, and the remaining troops consolidated the occupied rebel positions!" After saying that, Zhang Ping'an returned to his seat and picked up the steaming milk tea and took two sips of comfort.
Sun Chengzong, who was sitting beside Zhang Ping'an, watched the battle without saying a word, "Bo Nu Bo, the rebel army is condescending to the fire attack. How can the Po Nu Jun respond?"
"Don't worry, my slave army has specialized in dealing with the arms attacks*. Hehehe! I guess the crusade army even had their cooking firewood to the front line, and they had to eat cold steamed buns even at night!"
"Don't you have a slave army? Why don't you use it?"
Sun Chengzong suddenly mentioned the secret weapon of the Slave-Breaking Army, which immediately made Zhang Ping'an alert. He was silent for a while before slowly answering: "* is powerful but hurts the world. It is better not to have to deal with the rebels formed by the people!"
Sun Chengzong, who was old in military affairs, immediately guessed the secret hidden in the little fox's insincere answer. It seemed that the secret weapon of the Slave Army "*" in the Slave Army had major flaws. This little fox would rather fight with the thieves head-on than use "*", which means that "*" cannot be transported to the battlefield at will with the Slave Army. This is the weakness of the little fox's invention of "*". Perhaps this weapon is just a defensive weapon. Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong picked up the tea bowl and tasted it lightly, picked up the white cloth and wiped his hands.
Seeing Sun Chengzong's relaxed body movements, Zhang Ping'an was shocked. This old fox was so powerful. Judging from his body language, the old fox had guessed the weakness of "*". However, Zhang Ping'an didn't think too much, and his attention was attracted by the blue ammunition truck of the artillery team. This truck was shipped with a high content of saltpeter, which was specifically used for the fire attack of the artillery team of the Slave Army.
The rapid attack drums were beating on the high ground, and the horns were roaring echoed over the battlefield. Hundreds of Pou Nu Army burned* dragged the charming green smoke into the third line of defense of the Break Army. The * was invented by the Pfizer Army, and the white smoke ignited the dry firewood piled in front of the Break Army. The raging fire soared into the sky, burning the high ground where the Pou Nu Army was about to attack into a sea of fire.
The soldiers of the rebels who were originally hiding in the bunker were burned by the sudden fire and ran around and had nowhere to gain a foothold. Gao Yingxiang, the king of rebels who stood six miles away, had his eyes even more fiery. Zhang Ping'an, the grassland fox wolf, let him see the various weapons of the rebels. The excellent equipment of the rebels made Gao Yingxiang feel an indescribable sense of frustration. The speed of the rebels digging trenches was far from keeping up with the progress of the rebels' breakthrough. According to the rebels' tactics, they could break through all the defense lines of the rebels in just two days.
Once the Possess Army breaks through all the trenches defense lines of the Chuang Army, the Possess Army has to confront the Possess Army head-on. The Breaking Army, with broken weapons in the field, will never be an opponent of the Possess Army. Thinking of this, the King of Chuang Gao Yingxiang recruited the military advisor Yao Yulin and said with a burning line with his fingers: "Military advisor, our Chuang Army will suffer a great loss if we continue to fight like this. Do you have more ideas to see if we can block it with lime powder?"
After hearing this, Yao Yulin shook his head: "King Chuang, I have heard some tactics of Zhang Ping'an, the general of the Pou Nu Army on the grassland. He used lime tactics twice against the Jurchen Nurhaci, and beat the Jurchen army twice to run away. Zhang Ping'an's fox wolf name on the grassland was said to have been taken by the Jurchens after defeating the Jurchen army for the first time with the lime tactics. Don't you see a layer of veil attached to the face armor of the Pou Nu Army? This thing can protect against wind and sand. For this veteran who uses lime tactics, do you think the lime is effective for the Pou Nu Army?"
Yao Yulin objected, leaving Gao Yingxiang speechless. Just when he was confused, Yao Yulin spoke again: "King of Chuang, I think we have to prepare for a retreat."
Yao Yulin's cautious tone made Gao Yingxiang realize that the military advisor Yao Yulin was also afraid. Gao Yingxiang did not answer but looked up at the battlefield. It was strange that the Pou Nu Army stopped attacking after capturing the third line of defense. The Pou Nu Army attacked the heavy armored infantry ghost sword team and only rested on the top of the mountain. The cavalry responsible for cover were also dismounted, except for the range scouts, and fed the exhausted horses with feeding harnesses for the war horses.
Gao Yingxiang ordered the soldiers of the trench to dig trenches and cut the steep mountain without thinking. While he could not think of a good idea, he used stupid tactics to delay the attack of the Ponu Army. After a few days of fighting, Gao Yingxiang also saw the characteristics of the attack line of the grassland fox wolf, that is, the ramp behind the highland occupied by the crusade army was smooth and there was an open field to facilitate the gathering of troops of the Ponu Army. Therefore, Gao Yingxiang ordered three trenches in front of the positions of the Ponu Army's positions at the location where the Ponu Army might attack, and the digging of soil was piled up behind the trench.
Zhang Ping'an, commander of the Breaking Army, obviously did not care about the arrangement of the broken army as if they had lost their sheep on the battlefield. He issued an order for all troops to set up camp. In addition to instructing the General Staff Department to inform the various departments to prevent the possible stealing of the Breaking Army, he returned to the commander's tent with great worries. Zhang Ping'an had a worry in his heart, that was, the mountain troops led by Tian Peng did not appear at the specified time.
Calculate the time, Tian Peng's mountain troops should have appeared in Yan'an City today, but the trespassing army opposite could not see any signs of chaos, which means that Tian Peng's army did not achieve the predetermined goal at the specified time. This made him full of confidence and made the strategy of encircling the trespassing the trespassing army in depth, laying a trace of haze. Zhang Ping'an, sitting in front of the map, stared at the desert of Walldus. Since there was no surveying and mapping staff to explore the terrain, the map here was extremely inaccurate. If Tian Peng's army lost its direction in the desert or suffered too much loss, he would have to bear the responsibility for the failure of the mountain troops.
Taking responsibility is nothing for Zhang Ping'an. The key is that the mountain troops are all elites in the Po Nu Army's battles. If they lose in the desert, the morale of the military will be greatly affected. The next time they fight against Lin Danhan of Mongolia, the Mao Usu Desert in the west of the naturalized west will be the restricted area for the Po Nu Army to intersect the troops. Thinking of this, Zhang Ping'an secretly decided to slow down the pace of the offensive army and find a way to drag the main force of the Break Army in this direction.
"Master, it's time to have a meal!"
Zhang Ping'an, who had just withdrawn his thoughts, was startled by Gu Xin's sudden speech. He didn't look back but nodded subconsciously and asked Gu Xin: "What are you doing?"
At this time, Zhang Ping'an realized that Sun Chengzong was probably behind him. Gu Xin usually called him the boss when there were no outsiders. This time he asked him to remind him that Sun Chengzong was coming. Fortunately, Zhang Ping'an did not call the old fox, otherwise he would be ugly. Zhang Ping'an hurriedly stood up and bowed to Sun Chengzong and kept beating him for guilt: "Old man is negligent! Negligent! Ping'an is a little fascinated by his thoughts, please don't blame him!"
"I think so obsessed with it. Who are you bad boys plotting against?" Sun Chengzong's joking words made the two of them embarrassed to meet.
"Who else can you do? The thief Gao Yingxiang." After that, Zhang Ping'an hurriedly asked Sun Chengzong to take the position, poured a bowl of hot milk tea and handed it to Sun Chengzong.
Then he walked to the map and pointed to the map: "My Possess Army has no time to fight the Break Army slowly. I guess the Break Army can only dig out a line of defense in the past few days. As long as my middle troops of the Break Army attract the frontal Break Army, Hu Ming and Zhang Tong, the left wing troops of the Break Army, were the first to break through the Break Army's defense line in the north of Ganquan. You have also seen clearly in the past few days. The weakness of the Break Army is that if you are broken through a little, you will be shaken and then collapse in full."
Sun Chengzong put down the tea bowl and stood up and walked to the map. He pointed at the front battlefield with some confusion: "Peace, I think it's not as simple as you imagined. The resistance of the thieves is still very firm. It seems that the troops led by Hu Ming and others are all cavalrymen. How do they attack the thieves' positions?"
"Hey...hey...hey! I have used my tricks to attack the Break Army these days. In fact, it is not so difficult to attack these refugee troops with broken weapons. The Mongolian army's siege tactics are very useful. Tens of thousands of people can fill the obstacles at the foot of the Break Army Mountain with earth bags. Tell the old man that the reason I endured for so long was waiting for a large army of the Break Army to capture the enemy's backbone. This unit will take the middle of the Waldus army to attack the Break Army's backbone." Zhang Ping'an said while pointing to the Walldus desert area of the map.
Seeing the direction Zhang Ping'an pointed, Sun Chengzong was secretly surprised. This little fox really dared to do it. Such a difficult road was also used by the little fox. He couldn't help but think a lot. If Zhang Ping'an led the Po Slave Army to sneak into the Great Wall from a secluded place, how could the Ming official army deal with it? However, Sun Chengzong could not think too much. The current war was the goal he cared about.
