Chapter 37: The momentum is like a rainbow, forcing the enemy to escape
Zhang Ping'an was awakened by a cheerful horse moan. So Zhang Ping'an walked out of the tent, grabbed a handful of snow on the ground, rubbed his face a few times, and immediately woke up. After stuttering breakfast, he set out to rush to the old camp.
When Zhang Ping'an was still forty miles away from the old camp, he met a scout sent by Hu Ming. The scout immediately reported to Zhang Ping'an: "Master! Commander Hu sent me to report to the commander! Sixty miles northeast of the old camp, he found about 1,600 cavalrymen from the Chahar tribe in Mongolia. They did not come from the north or west. Instead, they bypassed our scout's search and came from behind the northeast mountains. Commander Zhang and Commander Hu followed the command of the commander and were alerted fifteen miles northeast of the old camp."
Zhang Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief at this time, "Have they received the order from me to send Xu Liangchuan?"
"I received it, Commander Zhang from the old camp's supplies camp, and he was also ready for battle!"
Zhang Ping'an said to the scout: "To Zhang Li, Hu Ming passes my order! If the Tartars attack and fight back resolutely! If the Tartars fail to move, monitor them on the spot! Go quickly!"
"Yes! Grandmaster!" The scout quickly ran back after saluting.
Zhang Ping'an said to Chen Poe and Huang Wei: "Don't throw away all unnecessary things, bring only weapons and horses. Huang Wei's sixty or fifty people in his army can see things! Dear silver, you can take your personal military camp first."
Zhang Li and Hu Ming heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind, and knew that Zhang Ping'an's large army had arrived. He quickly moved his headquarters to both sides to free up the battlefield for Zhang Ping'an's large army. Zhang Ping'an admired Zhang Li and Hu Ming's judgment on the situation on the battlefield.
At this time, Zhang Ping'an looked at the array of Mongolians opposite. Although the Mongolians arranged an arrow-shaped attack formation, they remained unmoved two miles away. Now Zhang Ping'an felt confident.
So he ordered loudly: "Wang Wei's army went out a mile and had to take the Yin-leader's personal barracks to follow me on the right wing of Huang Wei's army! Chen Po's army was on the left wing of Huang Wei's army! Zhang Li and Hu Ming's army quickly surrounded the two wings of the Tartars when our army stopped! Blow the trumpet!"
The commander rushed towards Zhang Li and Hu Ming's troops to convey Zhang Ping'an's combat orders. The low horn resounded throughout the battlefield.
When Zhang Ping'an's troops pressed against the Mongolian brigade for a mile, Zhang Ping'an was a little suspicious of his judgment, but he could no longer think too much at this time. Because his morale could be boosted but not let go, Zhang Ping'an shouted: "Huang Wei!"
"arrive!"
"Archer Model Position!"
"Yes! Grand Marshal!" Huang Wei took the order loudly, rushed out of the formation, shouting loudly: "Locate the Black Flag Model!"
Immediately, ten cavalrymen holding black flags slowly walked out of Huang Wei's corner. Under Huang Wei's guidance, they lined up and rushed towards the enemy's position. After planting the flag, they quickly retreated.
Seeing this, Huang Wei ordered again: "The whole army has it! Prepare the crossbow arrows! Set out with the Red Flag Model! Pay attention to the queue..."
Zhang Ping'an raised the whip and waved Lu Deyin and Chen Pi. At the same time, Zhang Ping'an said to the signal soldiers beside him: "Send a signal to Zhang Li and Hu Ming's troops!"
The sound of horns, long and short, and long, sounded on the battlefield. Zhang Li and Hu Ming quickly inserted into the two wings of the Mongolian formation.
The Mongols saw that the opponent was full of cavalry and were determined to attack. They did not choose to attack any large formation, but turned around and ran away. Seeing this, Zhang Ping'an was completely relieved. So they ordered: "Ring the roar! Let Zhang Li and Hu Ming's troops chase quickly! The middle troops slowly pressed up!"
The messenger quickly conveyed Zhang Ping'an's order to Chen Poe, Huang Wei, and Lu Deyin. Three rapid sounds rang out. Then he saw Zhang Li and Hu Ming's two nearly 3,000 cavalrymen began to speed up. After the black clouds passed, bursts of white mist were rolled up.
Zhang Li and Hu Ming's troops chased for five or six miles, and they heard the sound of slogging that stopped chasing. The two of them raised their hands high and tied the reins of the horse. The troops then slowed down. At this time, Chen Por led the troops to catch up: "The commander! After driving the Tartars for fifty miles, retreat! Only you two scouts monitor the enemy's movements!"
Zhang Ping'an looked at the troops leaving, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Huang Wei who was retreating: "Go back to the camp!"
Zhang Ping'an returned to the old camp's coach's tent. Before he could sit firmly, Chen Xiucai rushed into the tent: "Master, how is the battle?"
Zhang Ping'an said: "Mr. Chen, you have to let me take a break! Ruge, pour me milk tea!"
Seeing Zhang Ping'an so calm, Chen Ping'an felt relieved. He knew there was no problem. So he sat down with Zhang Ping'an and waited for Zhang Ping'an to speak. Seeing Chen Xiucai like this, Zhang Ping'an asked with a smile: "Mr. Chen, have you moved all the things in the old camp?"
After hearing Zhang Ping'an's question, Chen Xiucai also knew that he didn't want to talk about the war. He nodded and said, "Go back to the general! The supplies and people have been withdrawn. I'll wait for you to come back before deciding when will the old camp be withdrawn."
Zhang Ping'an told Lu Ruge: "Pour it for Mr. Chen, and you should prepare more milk tea later. I will have a meeting when they come back. You can rest at that time." After Zhang Ping'an saw Lu Ruge handing the milk tea to Chen Xiucai, he pointed at her on the back. Lu Ruge gave Zhang Ping'an knowingly.
Zhang Ping'an wanted to kick Chen Xiucai out at this time. He knew that this was just thinking. In front of Chen Xiucai, he didn't even dare to put his feet on the footstool. He was not Liu Bang, and could wash his feet in front of Xiao He. He was thinking at this moment, why is the gap between people so big?
Chen Xiucai didn't know that Zhang Ping'an was thinking dirty and bowed to him. He bowed to congratulations: "Congratulations to the Grand Marshal, this time the Grand Marshal thought of his unique strategy! Our army won a great victory!"
Zhang Ping'an hypocritically made a modest statement: "This battle depends entirely on the lives of the soldiers! I'm just lucky!"
Chen Xiucai stood up and said, "The general is humble and his plan is approaching Zhang Liang!"
Zhang Ping'an could no longer hold it back and showed a slut: "Mr. Chen stops! Stop! Talking to you literati is too tiring. I admit that I am using strategy, but I can't do anything about it! You said that we seem to be strong now, but if we fight hard, there will definitely be many casualties. Take this return as an example. Scaring the Tartars away is my greatest wish! If I give me half a year, I will really dare to fight with the Tartars head-on! Forget it, let's retreat to a place where I can cultivate!"
Zhang Ping'an took a sip of milk tea and continued, "This time I've beaten Duoyan's troops. If Duoyan dares to come again, even if he's desperately, he'll bite another piece of meat. Duoyan's troops will not threaten us! I have an idea now. I'm not mature yet, so I'll talk about it after I think about it. What I'm thinking now is: send all the people and supplies to the camp of Long Xiucai and Wu Tianxing. After completing the transaction with the government army, save up enough food before talking about it!"
Zhang Ping'an saw Lu Deyin coming in and nodding at him, so he said, "Deyin, go and ask someone to prepare the meal and send the scout out!"
Zhang Ping'an turned around and complained to Chen Xiucai: "Mr. Chen, please go back and teach your subordinates well and let me tell them about my glorious history. Don't have enough food to do, and make trouble for me! If I get angry, I will cause trouble for them!"
Chen Xiucai was very anxious: "Master! They are also doing it for your own good! But the method is wrong, I will go back and talk to them. In fact, they have also heard about the Master's ability during this period and knows Master's methods! They are not adapting to their current identity. Please don't kill indiscriminately!"
Zhang Ping'an waved his hand to stop his defense: "I have a shortage of time and I don't have time to enlighten them. You should control them. If necessary, don't be ruthless. I have big things to consider, and I don't have time to be blind with them! As long as I'm not doing something that hurts the world, don't give me any advice. I'm not the emperor!"
Chen Xiucai nodded helplessly: "Yes! The Grand Marshal!"
Chen Poe and the others walked into the tent, and Zhang Ping'an said to Lu Ruge: "Supply milk tea for them. The meal will be ready later. Let the personal soldiers come over and report! Do as usual!"
Zhang Ping'an asked the old brothers: "How?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chen Poe stepped forward and said, "The Tartars ran away! He caught thirty Tartars! But they were all injured. Should they be slaughtered?"
Zhang Ping'an shook his hand and said, "Mongolian Tartars should be treated differently. All of these Tartars are kept! How is our situation?"
Chen Poe said: "No brother died! There are only fifty people who were dismissed."
