Chapter 360 Bloody Battle of the Yellow River in Shaanxi (34)

On the high platform of the return army, Ma Deyong looked at the foggy battlefield, and tears blurred his eyes. Tens of thousands of cavalry of the Pool Army chased the fleeing Hui infantry on the battlefield, happily howled from behind and killed the fleeing Hui soldiers. More than 100,000 fled Hui soldiers retreated like sea tides, and Hei Mama squeezed to both sides of the military formation.

With the help of the escape of the military formation in front of the Hui army, Yang Kui commanded the artillery team to come one mile away from the Hui army round formation. The artillery team built artillery positions with the assistance of engineers. The attacking chariot also temporarily stopped the attack and formed a fan-shaped protection circle outside the artillery team. The heavy armored infantry ghost sword team and the musket soldiers cooperated with each other to build a temporary defense belt behind the chariot.

Ma Deyong, who was commanding the platform, felt that his eyes were not enough today, and he saw that the sky was getting late and he didn't see the Ponu Army stopping the attack. Just as the Hui army was running in chaos, the military formation on the east side of the Hui army was facing crisis again. More than 30,000 people from the mountain troops of the Ponu Army rushed towards the Hui army under the leadership of the commander Tian Peng. What made Ma Deyong's mind even more confused was that except for the Commander's Flag, the other troops had no Chinese characters in the battle flag, such as animals such as wolves or foxes and elephants.

These battle flags made Ma Deyong unclear how the troops of the Po Slave Army belonged. In addition, the organization of the Po Slave Army was not very different, and the number of troops was similar in each unit was similar, and the weapons were almost the same, which made Ma Deyong distinguish the relationship between the Po Slave Army. What Ma Deyong could see was that the Po Slave Army launched a full-scale attack. Even the troops defending in Matouyan also joined the ranks of the general attack.

Huang Zhi's troops stationed in Matouyan Fort remained unsuspecting after receiving the order from the command of Zhang Dashuai. It was not until Huang Zhi saw that there was a large-scale chaos in the military formation of the Hui army that he issued an order to attack to the troops. Huang Zhi also adopted the common offensive tactics of the Slave-Breaking Army. The crossbows were the first to open the way and the musket soldiers continued to follow up, and the cavalry prepared for the charge. However, Huang Zhi did not dare to use all * for the attack. During this period, he led his army to defend Matouyan* and lost a lot. If he could not defeat the Hui army today, he would still have to save his life.

Huang Zhi ordered his subordinates to shoot with guns. Huang Zhi's musket soldiers used curved shooting seventy feet in front of the Hui army formation, and successfully crossed the earth wall of the Hui army and knocked down the Hui army ten feet behind the wall. In the impression of the Hui army, the lead bullets shot from the muskets seemed to be straight. Unexpectedly, the Pou Nu Army would use magic to shoot the lead bullets into the earth wall of the army. After the return army was in large numbers, the area fell under the muskets of the Pou Nu Army. The Pou Nu Army's muskets were scraped out of metal bullets and continued to rain, and the casualties of the returning army were gradually increasing.

When Huang Zhi saw that the opportunity was good, he divided the six thousand musket soldiers into three horizontal formations, and gradually advanced towards the back guard under the cover of the swords, shields and spearmen. While advancing, Huang Zhi's crossbow cannons began to fire at the back guard wall to clear the possible resistance of the back troops. The archers of the back troops issued desperate resistance behind the earth wall. They half-squatted behind the earth wall and shot blindly at the Po Nu Army. The sparse arrows flew sparsely to the Po Nu Army's horizontal formation in the marching, and the powerless arrows planted swaying arrows on the battlefield.

Even such an arrow that was not very threatening was retaliated by the artillery team of the Po Slave Army. The raging shrapnel bit back the bodies of the officers and soldiers. Corpants torn to pieces by shrapnel could be seen everywhere. The Hui army who was directly killed by the bomb were relatively lucky. Those Hui soldiers who were stunned by the explosion shock wave were the most painful people. When they woke up, they saw that they were soaked in blood. As soon as they stood, they found that a thigh was tightly connected to a trace of flesh. Some soldiers whose arms were blown off looked for their arms that they had no idea where they flew to. The corpses all over the ground couldn't tell which arm was theirs.

The unfortunate soldiers of the Hui army were dizzy and covered their heads with the skull that were blown away, and carefully protected the gray-white brain stained with blood. As soon as they were about to leave the battlefield, they were smashed into the skull cavity by the artillery shells flying from the Ponu Army's artillery position. The gray-white * successfully extinguished the lead line that was about to explode. The Hui army lacked armor and even helmets could only be worn by officers. Facing the cruel firearms of the Ponu Army, the courage to resist was no longer high. In less than two moments, the three armies of the Huang Zhi unit of the Ponu Army had touched the Hui army's guardrail. The remaining Hui army lost their will to resist. In the roar of the Ponu Army's "abandon the sword and do not kill!", they threw away the weapons in their hands and knelt in the blood.

The mountain troops of the Ponu Army rushed into the collapsed military formation in the east of the Hui army like wind swept away the wind, and soon met with the light cavalry of Liu Chong's troops in the northeast of the Hui army formation. In addition, the Huang Zhi's troops in Matouyan broke through the southern military formation, and the heavy armored cavalry led by Yan Cheng dispersed the western military formation with the cooperation of the light cavalry of the personal camp. The last round formation of the Hui army was surrounded by the Ponu Army.

Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Po Slave Army command platform, saw this and began to issue a command order: "Order: Tian Peng's army evacuated the battlefield and assembled northwards; ordered Zhang Tong to prepare supper and tents for Tian Peng and his personal military camp, and ordered Yan Cheng to lead the troops out of the battlefield and assemble to the northwards Zhang Tong's camp. Order Li Qingshui to lead 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers to the south, completely protect the people who were being snatched by the returning army. Carry my command box to the front line, and I will personally command the final blow to the returning army Ma Deyong's army!"

After saying the order, Zhang Ping'an turned around and bowed to Sun Chengzong and said, "Supervisor! My slave-destroying army will definitely defeat the last military formation of the Hui army within one hour. Please move to the official army camp in the east of Lingzhou and command the officer army to chase and suppress the remnants of the Hui army!"

After saying that, Zhang Ping'an said to Sun Chengzong with a serious look on his face: "Supervisor! The war is coming to an end. I hope that the commander of the Ming Dynasty's official army should not be a relative. After the war, I will lead the Po Nu Army out of seclusion. I don't want to rebel, but if someone forces too much, my Po Nu Army will have to resist to the end!"

Zhang Ping'an's solemn and mean words made Sun Chengzong unable to hold back his face. The key is that Zhang Ping'an always threatened the court to force him to rebel, which not only made people disgusted but also made people suspicious. At this moment, Sun Chengzong had to smile bitterly to deal with him and had important things to arrange. If the little fox makes bad things and let Ma Tengyao escape from the eyes of the Ming Dynasty's official army, it would be no real trouble.

After Sun Chengzong bid farewell to the little fox Zhang Ping'an, the general of the Po Nu Army, Zhang Ping'an, also came down from the command platform, and under the escort of his personal soldiers, he turned over and walked towards the final battlefield. He wanted to personally command the final decisive battle on the Lingzhou front. These two wars in the Ming Pass had exhausted him. The old Jurchen slaves still ran into walls in Po Nu City again and again, but they were still thinking about avenging them. It seemed that Zhang Ping'an was a tired life.

The commander of the Ponu Army, Zhang Ping'an, was under the escort of his personal soldiers and entered the battlefield. Along the way, he received real and warm cheers from the soldiers of the Ponu Army. The soldiers were proud and proud from the bottom of their hearts. Under the leadership of their growing baby commander, they were about to win another great battle. Although Zhang Ping'an felt a little tired, the high morale of the Ponu Army excited him.

Zhang Ping'an's personal guard Qian Zheng Hao Yidao and Deputy Qian Zheng Zhang Youhe were among the two tall and strong men in the Po Slave Army who were half a horse behind the Po Slave Army. They all knew that Zheng Zhang enjoyed the most worship from the Po Slave Army officers and soldiers. Therefore, Zheng Zhang walked into the command box car with satisfaction amid the cheers of the entire army like a tsunami.

As Zhang Dashuai's personal staff officer, Luo Tian set up a telescope on the box truck for Zhang Dashuai's front line command. After arranging the command map, he stood on the left side of the box truck's chair. When Zhang Ping'an sat in the coach's chair, Luo Tian nodded and then stood up to observe the battlefield with his naked eyes. About 90,000 people from the outer side defeated by the Possess Army joined the round formation of the Hui army. Although the round formation covering ten miles was thickened, the neat formation was also scrambled. The most important thing was that the back army was frightened and defeated the courage to hold on the back army in the formation.

Less than 10,000 defeated soldiers had weapons in their hands. They attacked the circular formation and formed wave after wave of formation. The reason why Zhang Ping'an was not in a hurry to attack was that he wanted the defeated army to integrate into the final circular formation of the Hui army, aggravated the psychological uneasiness of the Hui army, and thus achieved the best strategy of attacking the heart. Sure enough, these Hui army defeated soldiers merged into the battle formation, and the silent military formation was suddenly filled with noises. Seeing this, Zhang Ping'an was secretly happy. Since fighting with the Hui army, he had always felt the tenacious fighting spirit of the Hui army.

From several stubborn resistance to the attacks of the Pou Nu Army, Zhang Ping'an realized that the Rebellion Army composed of the people was the source of the will to resist, which was Ma Tengyao's appeal to the slogan of equal fields. For the people who had been farming in the fields for the rest of their lives, land was their survival guarantee, and they could devote their lives to the slogan of nothingness. In order to ensure that the Pou Nu Army controls the land annexation of the land, Zhang Ping'an made a major policy mistake in not allowing ordinary people to own land.

However, Zhang Ping'an figured it out that the current battlefield decision did not allow him to do too many random thoughts. Zhang Ping'an, who retracted his thoughts, turned to look at Yang Kui's artillery team. More than 300 crossbows were behind the chariot, facing straight back to the military round formation. A one-mile range allowed the Blazer Army's crossbows to penetrate back to all positions of the military formation. Seeing that the artillery team was in place, Zhang Ping'an looked at his opponent, Ma Deyong, who was today, and Ma Deyong tied himself to the platform, but he still held the command flag in his hand.

He wanted to use his actions to tell the Hui soldiers in the round formation that today Ma Deyong would fight to the death to resist the final attack of the Pou Nu Army. Seeing this, Zhang Ping'an's eyes were full of disdain. The Returning Army command platform was their weakness in combat. The commanding flag twenty feet away on the east side of the tower was the spirit of the Hui army. The Pou Nu Army artillery team only needed to knock out these two places, and the will to resist the Hui army would completely collapse. Seeing that it was late, Zhang Ping'an no longer hesitated. He issued the order to attack the Hui army's last blow: "Order the Pou Nu Army artillery team to attack the commanding flag and the commanding platform!"

Shortly after the order of General Zhang of the Pou Nu Army was issued, the Pou Nu Army's crossbow cannons fired at the circular formation of the Return Army, and more than 300 artillery shells dragged green smoke and rushed back to the center of the army formation... (To be continued)
