Chapter 334 Bloody Battle of Shaanxi's Yellow River Red (8)
When Zhang Ping'an rushed to the battlefield to command the box cart, Sun Chengzong, who also heard the sound of artillery fire, also arrived at the battlefield. At this time, the General Staff sent two urgent reports on the battlefield. Under the illumination of the windproof lantern, Zhang Ping'an just glanced at Sun Chengzong next to him, and kept shaking his head and blaming himself: "Ping'an is still too underestimating the enemy, underestimating the heroes of the world!"
Zhang Ping'an's self-blame words made Sun Chengzong feel very moved. Zhang Ping'an's self-discipline and humbleness were extremely inconsistent with his teenage years. Sun Chengzong was attracted by the fierce war in Lingzhou before he could think deeply.
The guerrilla general of the Hui army, Hadeyong, adjusted his offensive tactics after the fight in the afternoon of the Hui army. He no longer fought desperately, but used the tentative attack to numb all the commanding leaders of the Po Slave Army with the casualties of three thousand Hui soldiers. He quietly used the night cover to move to the west side of the South Gate, and then the Hui army in the northeast took the lead in attack to attract the attention of the Po Slave Army and finally launched a general attack on the west side.
Hadeyong was the main force of the return army to gamble. If the return army could not regain the South Gate tonight, the return army in Lingzhou City would not see the acquired sun. He knew very well that the power of the Desubs Army was to use close forces to crack the bombardment of the Desubs Army. Hadeyong's move was very successful, and even Zhang Ping'an, who was known as the grassland fox wolf, was concealed.
The soldiers of the Hui army siege in the south gate of Lingzhou started a close-knit fight with the Ponu Army's Ghost Sword Team. The Ponu Army took advantage of the height of the city wall and stabbed with a spear. The ghost sword slashed the attack and the Hui army was miserable. The elite soldiers of the Hui army were wearing leather armor and could not resist the bloodthirsty killing of the Ponu Army. The Hui army soldiers climbed up the city wall in batches, and then rolled down in bloody pieces. The bodies of the rolling Hui army were overturned and attacked the Hui army. However, the Hui soldiers did not retreat because of this. After standing firm, they shouted and waved their swords to attack the city wall.
The dark sky blocked the telescope's vision, and Zhang Ping'an could only get the latest battle report through the news sent back through the flag-language hand. Gu Xin, who was in charge of the General Staff, was also frantically furious by the sudden change in tactics of the Return Army. He selected a thousand musket soldiers from Liu Qingshan's troops and sent them to the southern gate of Lingzhou. Liu Qingshan, who was in the front-line command post, kindly reminded Gu Xin: "Chief of Staff! We can't do this kind of oil-added tactic!"
Gu Xin, who was in a strong heart, grabbed the chess and pushed it on Liu Qingshan's butt. Liu Qingshan, who was beaten, dared not speak anymore, nor did he dare to complain to Mr. Zhang, because he disobeyed Shangguan on the battlefield and was about to be beheaded in the military law of the Possess Army. Until Mr. Zhang could not bear it anymore, he wrote a note to make Gu Xin sober. Marshal Zhang pointed out in the note: The chariots and crossbows cannons can be used to cooperate with the Yang Kui artillery team to block the follow-up troops of the return army's attack, and then disintegrate the return army's offensive. After seeing this, Gu Xin was so shameless that he was not even as good as Hu Ming in adapting to the situation.
It was only then that Gu Xin deeply realized the hard work of commander Zhang Ping'an. After every battle, Marshal Zhang looked tired and didn't even bother to pay attention to the subsequent end of the battlefield. Because Zhang Ping'an paid attention to every detail of the battlefield during the war and adjusted the most perfect and practical tactics of the Slave Army on an instant, the Slave Army won victory after victory. Gu Xin did not dare to sigh too much, so he immediately arranged the chariots to move westward to support the Lingzhou South Gate battlefield.
Yang Kui, commander of the artillery team of the Possess Army, transferred all the remaining 100 mobile crossbows to the west after receiving Gu Xin's latest order. Under the guidance of the artillery team's observation troops, they fired and blocked the Hui army's dense attack queue. Large pieces of blood-colored flesh splashed out from the rumbling and explosion. The hot shock wave swept across the Hui army's array, and the flying shields cut off the flesh and blood body of the Hui army. The Hui army soldiers watched the flesh and blood separation on their bodies numbly. They were often smashed before they could cry.
More soldiers of the Hui army were shattered by the explosion. Before they could make a sound, they fell to the ground and died. However, their bodies were still raging again by the subsequent arrival of the *. The broken bones of the Hui army soldiers were turned into weapons by the shock wave, and stabbed into the body of the Hui army who followed the attack. Many soldiers of the Hui army were stabbed by the broken bones of their brothers and had to throw down their weapons to cover their wounds and wail. Their pain did not last long, either being shaken to death by the falling * or being smashed to death by the flying corpses.
The returning troops who rushed through the artillery fire blockade were all wounded. Before they could attack the city wall, they were focused on the musket soldiers of the Posses on the city wall. After the sound of muskets, the Hui army fell down under the city wall. The splashing blood mist even blocked the sight of the soldiers of the attacking Hui army. When the surviving Hui army officers and soldiers climbed up the city wall, they were greeted by the spears that were slashing over and the slashing of the ghost swords that could not be avoided.
In the area less than half a mile west of Lingzhou South Gate, the Ponu Army fell continuously and forced the subsequent attack to stop. The soldiers of the Hui army were not afraid of death. They all knew a simple truth. If the Hui army wanted to survive, they had to defeat the evil wolf of the Ponu Army on the grassland. However, the Ponu Army ruthlessly extinguished the last hope of the Hui army soldiers. The Hui army attacked one after another, but they could not break through the area blocked by the Bonu Army.
Their attacking brothers were left with blurry pieces of meat all over the ground. Many soldiers of the Return Army were buried in blood mud. Their upper body was blown away by the explosion. The cold north wind in winter quickly frozen their feet. So much so that after they stopped attacking, the artillery team of the Posou Army also stopped shelling, and countless standing legs were left strangely on the battlefield. However, the legs of the man were of varying sizes and low, and they appeared stiff and deep black under the torch. There were also a few half of the heads that were blown away, and the broken ones were tightly attached to the human legs. This strange scene scared many new recruits who had just entered the battlefield.
Just like the battlefield where hell reappeared, even the ghost sword hand with the largest nerve in the Po Slave Army could not raise the sword again. Only the sharpshooter of the Po Slave Army, with a larger nerve, clicked on the remaining troops to return to the army. After more than two hours of returning to the army, the counterattack ended in silence, and the entire battlefield was suffocatingly calm. Occasionally, you can hear a few soft mosquitoes crying for help, and even the crackling sound of torches can be clearly heard.
The main force of the Hui army attacked 8,000 elite troops, with less than 1,000 remaining defeated soldiers, of which less than 500 were not injured. The Hui army participated in the counterattack tonight, and the Hui army was less than 3,000 who could return to the starting point, and there were only more than 700 soldiers who were not injured. Seeing this tragic situation, the Hui army guerrilla general Hadeyong, who was responsible for the counterattack command, was ashamed, so he returned to his residence and committed suicide by wielding a knife.
After being seriously injured, the commander-in-chief of the Lingzhou Hui Army General Ma Deren had just woken up and heard the bad news of the failure of the Hui army's counterattack. In particular, Hadeyong committed suicide in shame and gave Ma Deren the last blow. He was furious and furious, he vomited blood and died in three moments. Ma Deren's death completely extinguished the will to resist. Under the leadership of the Hui army, Ma Lankun, the Thousand General of the Hui army, led the remaining Hui army to surrender.
What the surrendered Hui army did not expect was that when they came to the detention site of the Ponu Army with trembling fear, they did not kill them after the Return Army handed over their weapons, nor did they kill them and then build them into a human head Jingguan. The Ponu Army brought them food. Although it was so cold that it was difficult to swallow, it showed that the Ponu Army commander was not as bloody as rumored.
In the darkness of night, the Po Slave Army will not conquer the remaining enemies, which will increase unnecessary casualties by the Po Slave Army, which has been fighting hard for a day. Zhang Ping'an, commander of the Po Slave Army, only ordered the reserve team Liu Qingshan's troops to guard the four gates of Lingzhou. After Zhang Ping'an gave Sun Chengzong's tent to rest, he only called Gu Xin, the commander-in-chief of this battle to discuss the gains and losses of the battle and the shortcomings of Gu Xin's command.
Zhang Ping'an briefly explained what needs to be improved in his command, and discussed the future war with Gu Xin.
"I think this battle is like this. I'll finish what I should say. Wang Hua was transferred to Zhenhu Fort by me. Let's see how we can end the war with the Return Army as soon as possible! Otherwise, we would work hard for the Ming Dynasty court, but the old nest was taken out by the Jurchens, which would be a huge loss!"
Then Zhang Ping'an took out some spies for Gu Xin to see and explained the key points to him. During this tense stage, Zhang Dashuai no longer played fun work. He had to find a way to end the war with Ma Tengyao back to the army as soon as possible. Gu Xin basically didn't say anything when Zhang Dashuai explained, but listened while looking at the Ningxia Gu Xia map. Especially after checking the full map of Ningxia, he asked: "Boss, Ma Tengyao has concentrated all his main forces near Lingzhou?"
"What does it mean? Just say it just because you have something to say. Don't hide it and make people irritate it!"
"Boss, you are just staring at the Lingzhou front line. Have you forgotten the Ningxia Pinglu Station in the north of Ningxia. Wu Tianxing Division, Xu Zhen Division, Qi Heng, and Pang Guang Division have almost more than 100,000 people. Ma Tengyao has so many people to eat, so he dares to put all the food and grass on the Lingzhou front line? I guess the grain storage land for the return army is in Ningxia Guard. It is time to send them into Ningxia Guard. Even Wu Ge and Xu Town are the commanders. Who will lead whom?"
Zhang Ping'an agreed with Gu Xin's analysis very much. The Hui army must focus on the Ningxia Guards in Laowo. Most of the food and grass for the Hui army must be in Ningxia Guards. Without food and grass, the morale of the Hui army will be in chaos. If the Hui army is confused, it is impossible to win a battle. Thinking of this, Zhang Ping'an focused on the current battlefield. If the Hui army wants to destroy the Huang Zhi unit of the Po Slave Army, he must cut into a strong army from the northwest to the Huang Zhi unit and cut off the connection between the Huang Zhi unit and other departments of the Po Slave Army. In this way, the Huang Zhi unit naturally formed a battle prominence.
