Chapter 341: Bloody Battle of the Yellow River in Shaanxi (15)
The commander of the Hui army, Ma Tengyao, looked at the attack of the Ponu Army in confusion. Zhang Ping'an, commander of the Ponu Army, was so tall that he was arriving outside the camp to make an attack, but suddenly launched an attack on the Hui army camp, trying to cut the Hui army into two sections. Seeing the waves of attacking tactics of the Ponu Army, Ma Tengyao was impatient. He was very entangled, whether to send a large army to attack with the Ponu Army, or let the Ponu Army tear back to the military camp.
The same entangled with Ma Tengyao is Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Po Slave Army. Tian Peng has been fighting outside the back camp for so long, but the commander of the back camp still has no response. Could it be that he wants the hero to cut off his arm and abandon the back camp in the back camp? Zhang Ping'an, who is determined to even think he is cruel and ruthless, dare not stop. After all, there are nearly 100,000 elite soldiers who can be thrown away. Ma Tengyao dares not move, and Zhang Ping'an dares not move casually. As a last resort, Zhang Ping'an has to order Tian Peng to expand the results of the battle and continue to attack the deep attack on the back camp.
When Huang Zhi's troops also approached the camp of the army and formed a siege to attack Tian Peng's troops, the commander of the army, Ma Tengyao, finally made a big move. After a team of commanded the horses to run into the return army's camp, the intense war drums followed by thunder, and the return army's camp took a series of actions first. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers gathered troops in the company camp. Their intention was very clear, and they wanted to drive out the Possess Army who were inserted into the return army's camp.
Zhang Ping'an still did not dare to move around because the counterattack of the Hui army did not reach the mobilization of the troops in the returning army. Ma Tengyao's tactics made Zhang Ping'an very distressed. If it was exhausted today, the morale of the Po Slave Army who were deploying the formation outside would soon be exhausted. Zhang Ping'an would not fight this kind of bad battle. He turned around and asked the old fox Sun Chengzong for advice: "Supervisor, think of a way to let Ma Tengyao release troops to fight!"
After hearing this, Sun Chengzong did not answer immediately, but picked up the tea bowl and sipped, "You Po Nubo decided not to hit him, you hit you, why do you take action on Ma Tengyao's face?"
Sun Chengzong's slightly sarcastic words made Zhang Ping'an suddenly enlightened. He bowed to Sun Chengzong with a smile on his face and thanked him: "The supervisor is very impressed by his profound and far-reaching style! Thank you for your reminder!"
After thanking Sun Chengzong, Zhang Ping'an immediately issued a command of the general: the Po Nu Army attacked and returned to the old camp according to the established policy! After drinking a long time of cold wind, the attacking troops of the Po Nu Army were excited after getting the command of the command. They finally waited for the moment to show their skills. With the attacking cannon, the Po Nu Army Army, which had been silent, roared across the sky: "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The chariot of the Pou Nu Army started and rushed slowly and firmly towards the old camp of the army. The chariot of the Pou Nu Army, who followed the chariot, fired the first, dragged the blue smoke shells and flew to the back camp. The shells fell to the ground and emitted the orange-red air waves of death. The shock waves tore the tents in the camp. Accompanied by the flying flesh and blood, the general attack of the Pou Nu Army began.
At this time, Ma Tengyao, the commander of the Hui army on the high platform, had to make a decision whether to defend the camp or send a large army to fight back. At this time, Ma Tengyao was already panicked, and he could not understand the focus of the grassland jackal attack. His hesitation caused the fear of the soldiers guarding the camp of the Hui army. The Hui army, who was bombed so hard that they ran away, had lost the courage to resist. In helplessness, Ma Tengyao gritted his teeth and issued an order to attack the entire line.
He would ignore the frontal attack of the Ponu Army, but instead take down the Matouyan Ponu Army camp. The Ponu Army, a camp that highlights the entire front, is the weakness of the Ponu Army in Ma Tengyao's eyes. The Ponu Army's entire attack further strengthened Ma Tengyao's determination. The tactics of the Ponu Army are the strategy to surround Wei and save Zhao. As long as the Matouyan Ponu Army is annihilated, the soft abdomen of the Ponu Army will be exposed to the Hui army. What's more, the main force of the Ponu Army is already on the way to attack, so it's not easy to go back to rescue.
He sent 30,000 elite troops from the old camp to attack Matouyan Fort, which was stationed by Huang Zhi's army in the Possess Army, and forced Huang Zhi to attack the troops back to defend. At the same time, the Hui army in the company launched a counterattack and gradually forced out of the camp to attack Tian Peng's army. Ma Deyong, the deputy general of the Hui army behind Huang Zhi's army, understood his father's strategic intentions. He and his brother Ma Dezhi, who was on the west side of the garrison, sent troops to attack the mountain troops of the Possess Army.
The Ma Dezhi unit of the Hui army took out the two thousand fire ropes and muskets at the bottom of the box, and cooperated with the five thousand archers to press the musket soldiers of the Ponu Army Tian Peng's troops. The rain of arrows fell like locusts, and gradually forced Tian Peng's troops out of the village wall. The musket soldiers of the Hui army were killed and injured in the duel with the musket soldiers of the Ponu Army. The musket soldiers of the Ponu Army were responsible for teamwork. After each platoon shooting, advancing or retreating according to the needs of the battlefield, trying to kill the enemy at a long distance. Moreover, the muskets of the Ponu Army were shooting far faster and were loaded four times faster than the musket soldiers of the Hui army.
The fire range of the Hui army's musket soldiers who lacked systematic training was only about forty feet. They subconsciously fought back when they saw the Pou Nu Army firing sixty feet away. Each time the Hui army fired a fire, it was impossible to form continuous fire support. Even so, the bombardment of muskets on the ground was like rain in the sky, but the mountain troops' musket soldiers were still rushing. Fortunately, General Zhang's intention was to mobilize the Hui army to attack. Seeing that the purpose was achieved, Tian Peng began to evacuate the troops in an orderly manner.
Seeing that the troops of the Pou Nu Army attacking the company were defeated, Ma Tengyao was a little calmer. He also saw that the Hui army attacking Matouyan was not overwhelmed by the horrifying momentum of the Pou Nu Army and was gradually approaching the Pou Nu Army's position. These elite soldiers of the Return Army pushed more than a thousand two-wheeled shield chariots and covered them with earth bags. Three people pushed the cart and five people raised their spears in their back hands and entered a hundred feet in front of the Pou Nu Army's position.
The General Zhang of the Pouzi Army, who was in a cold sweat, felt relieved to sit back and watch the battle when he saw that the strategic purpose of mobilizing the return army was achieved. He took out a silk squid from his arms and wiped the sweat from his hands. He picked up the hot milk tea on the coffee table and couldn't help but pour it hard. At this moment, his eyes were also focused on the Matouyan Fort position of Huang Zhi's army. Zhang Ping'an knew very well that the Huang Zhi's position was the key to this battle. If the Pouzi Army here could not resist the impact of the return infantry, it was likely that the entire battle would be aborted, and at least the return troops in the company could return to the camp smoothly.
If the 200,000 Hui troops here return to the camp smoothly, it will be much more difficult to fight the battles behind. What makes Zhang Ping'an feel a little relieved is that the attacking army of the Po Slave Army is close to fifty feet of the old camp of the Hui army. As long as the wall of the Hui army is broken, Ma Tengyao's command platform will be in front of him. Zhang Ping'an, who has experienced many battles, knows that the command tower in the wall of the Hui army's old camp is where the power of the Hui army is. If Ma Tengyao is forced down the tower and find another place, the morale of the Hui army will be huge. In Zhang Ping'an's mind, it is far more affordable to destroy Ma Tengyao's command platform than to find a large camp of food storage. As long as the food and grass are controlled, even the confidence of the commander of the Hui army will collapse.
When Zhang Ping'an saw about 30,000 troops approaching Huang Zhi's position, he couldn't help but shook his head gently. Zhang Ping'an looked down on Ma Tengyao's stinginess in using troops. In such a critical battle, of course, the key attack direction must be all-out and use the largest and most military force to go down in one go. Ma Tengyao's shrinking troops and investing in the troops can only be a tactic of adding fuel to the greater battle results. However, Ma Tengyao's mistake will be a blessing for the Po Slave Army, which will be an opportunity to win for the Po Slave Army.
The rapid war drums on the battlefield interrupted Zhang Ping'an's thoughts. He looked at the Matouyan position and the shield chariot stopped fifty feet away. The obstacles built by Huang Zhi's troops here played a huge role. The Possess Army took advantage of the cold weather and mixed water with loess to build a three-foot column-shaped obstacle. This sturdy earth pillar of the Hui army could not destroy at all in a short time. The wheel of the Hui army was stuck by the obstacle. As a commander of the old war, Huang Zhi could not miss this opportunity. Seeing that the shield chariot was trapped, he immediately ordered the artillery team on the position to shoot behind the shield chariot.
The explosions one after another cut off the connection between the shield chariot and the follow-up troops. It was called the Silver Wolf Camp of Huang Zhi's army by the Pangnu Army's leader in using muskets. They came out to form six musket platoons and rushed towards the shield chariot of the Hui army. The spearmen and shield chariots who protected the musket soldiers firmly pressed on both sides and in front of the formation. The Hui army also saw the counterattack of the Pangnu Army. They ignored the intensive killing and wounding and wanted to support the shield chariot brothers on the front line.
Nowadays, the Po Slave Army pays attention to the sustainability of firepower in wars. They divide the crossbows into three layers and fire them in batches to ensure the continuous explosion. The continuous explosions fly across the shrapnel, flying around the explosion points. Even if the Hui army dares to sacrifice, they cannot withstand the impact of the explosion. The splashing blood mist blurs the sight of the soldiers of the Hui army's attacking army, so that they lose their direction on the battlefield. They bump into each other and don't know where to attack.
Huang Zhi is worthy of being the best master in the Possess Army. His biggest hobby is fiddling with muskets. Huang Zhi discovered a rule of muskets. After the muskets are fired, the lead bullets flying at high speed will fall down like arrows. Zhang Ping'an told him that this is the gravity effect in the investigation of objects. Although Huang Zhi doesn't understand what the gravity effect is, it does not prevent him from creating new tactics. After he ran to the musket formation, he ordered the musket soldiers to raise the muskets and shoot one foot, and instantly knocked down the back troops who rushed through the blockade line.
Except for the officers, the soldiers who returned to the army were basically red war jackets, and they could not resist the impact of lead bullets. The blood holes with big fists predicted the success of Huang Zhi's new tactics. This rough shooting invented by Huang Zhi achieved good results. Zhang Ping'an, who was far away on the command platform, was very excited to see Huang Zhi's new tactics. With this tactic, Huang Zhi could use this tactic to bring the musket soldiers of the Po Slave Army to a new level.
But he was very angry that Huang Zhi left the command site and ran to the front line to command. If Huang Zhi, as the commander of the first army, had a three-degree and two-degree weakness, it would be a heavy blow to the morale of his troops. So, Zhang Ping'an ordered the flag-speaking man to order: Huang Zhi, who is a dog, will return to his position! (To be continued)
