After receiving the urgent report from the Mongolian outer army launching an attack on the Po Slave Army, the sleepy Marshal Zhang did not react at the first time. While dressing, he took the strong tea handed over by Hao Yidao. In an instant, Zhang Ping'an shouted: "No! Lin Danhan ran away!"

Hao Yidao was also scared by the shout of Grandmaster Zhang. He hurriedly ordered his guards to recruit the messengers on duty. Zhang Ping'an issued an order as soon as he saw the messengers: "Go and tell Deputy General Chen that Lin Danhan will definitely escape from the west of the camp while in the chaos. Let Chen Pang send 7,000 to 8,000 cavalry to intercept. When my personal barracks arrive to support the cavalry, he will personally lead the remaining troops to pursue Lin Danhan! Go quickly! Go quickly!"

Shortly after the order of Zhang Dashui was heard, Gu Xin, who received the news, rushed into the tent. As soon as he entered the tent, he heard that Zhang Dashui issued another order: "Order Li Qingshui to bring 6,000 cavalry into Chen Potao's camp and take over his defense! Order Lu Deyin to shrink the front line to the initial attack area and strictly prevent the Mongolians in the tent from counterattacking. Hao Yidao led 3,000 cavalry guards to the baggage camp where supplies were stored, and strengthen patrols in the area to strictly prevent Mongolian spies from setting fires."

"Master General! Should we send troops to see our retreat?"

Gu Xin's reminder calmed down. He asked his guard to light the lantern and sent someone to call a basin of cold water to wash his face. The completely awake Marshal Zhang did not answer Gu Xin's question immediately, but walked to the map to carefully check the map. Zhang Youhe, deputy chief of the guard, came in and reported the military situation: "Master! Commander Xu Liang came to the battle report. About 10,000 Mongolian cavalry appeared in the north of the unit, and there was no torch to launch attacks on Xu Liang's camp many times!"

"Is it the messenger of Xu Liang's army? Call him here, but I want to ask him, I can't see anything in the dark, why should Xu Liang determine that there are 10,000 Mongolian cavalry outside?"

After a while, the messenger of Xu Liang's army entered the tent. When he saw the messenger's green and tender face, Zhang Ping'an's angry expression softened instantly. From this news, the silver wolf head on the head of the general's chest, Xu Liang sent an officer from the Jinlang Camp to increase the credibility of his military newspaper. None of the children from the Jinlang Camp were full of feelings for Zhang Dashuai. They were all children who had suffered a lot. If Zhang Dashuai had not paid money to support them, these children would have died in the wilderness long ago.

Mr. Zhang not only supported them, but also gave the best education to the Jinlang Camp. When they grew up, they also gave these soldiers the best way out. To talk about the iron-core Mr. Zhang in the Ponu Army, in addition to the old brothers and students who first followed him to raise the army, he counted the children in the Golden Lang Camp. Chen Liang, the Prime Minister of the Civil Affairs Office of the Ponu City, once predicted that ten years later, the Lieutenant General of the Ponu Army would be the world of the Jinlang Camp. Mr. Zhang had no worries about rebellion from then on.

"Hahaha! Is he a kid soldier from the Golden Wolf Camp? What's his name?"

"Master! Your name is Zhou Yubao, a native of Yulin Town, Shaanxi Province. Two years ago, I went to Shanxi with my father to transport salt and was captured by the Mongolian Kundu Khan. My father walked a little slower on the way out of seclusion, and was cut off his feet by the Mongolian Tartars and died in front of me... If it weren't for the Master's rescue... Woooooo..." As he said, Zhou Yubao couldn't help crying when he remembered the sadness.

"Okay! It's not right for me, it shouldn't arouse your sad things! You'd better tell me how you can judge the number of Mongolian troops in the night."

When talking about the serious matter, Zhou Yubao immediately stopped crying and explained in detail to General Zhang that they discovered the origin of the Mongolian army. Since the scouts of Xu Liang's army in the Po Slave Army discovered signs of scouts in the Mongolian Arslen Army, Xu Liang has been afraid to be careless. He sent four teams of thousands of horses to the west and north to track the Mongolian outer army. Xu Liang's team tracking horses did not find any enemy traces within a 50-mile range. Xu Liang did not retract the tracking horses until dark. Li Chen's team attacked the north of the Mongolian military camp today. In order to ensure the safety of Li Chen's team and his own camp, Xu Liang sent another team of six thousand horses to patrol ten miles northwest of his camp after dark.

But the Mongolians were very cunning. They took an offensive route that no one expected. The main force of Li Chen's army was extremely tired after the attack today, so Li Chen had only two thousand-person teams on the main camp, and the scope of their patrol was only six to seven miles. The Mongolian cavalry took advantage of the difference in patrol range between the slave army, and launched a side attack from the northwest side of Li Chen's camp to the patrol team of Xu Liang's army.

Fortunately, the Ponu cavalry was best at using the large inclined offensive tactics invented by General Zhang in the offensive battle. In order to ensure that their troops would not be defeated by this tactic, the Ponu army units conducted a lot of training. The best tactics were to first leave the side contact with the enemy, and then turn to attack the enemy's flanks. Xu Liang's horse team used this tactic to fight with the Mongolian sneak attack cavalry. However, the night on the grassland was extremely dark, and the moonless night could not see much distance with the faint starlight. The two sides in the battle did not dare to fight closely, because the accidental injury in the fight in the desperate battle was much higher than during the day.

At this time, bows and arrows and muskets became the best choices. It is true that the range of the muskets of the Pound Army is long, but it is undoubtedly difficult to reload the muskets after shooting on the horseback of the night. In addition, the flames of the guns are easily exposed when the muskets of the Pound Army are fired. Zhang Shangao, the officer in charge of commanding the battle, led the horse team to evacuate to the camp when they see something wrong. Zhang Shangao ordered people to go back to report the message, and while evacuating the team to the southwest, the Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side is more than 5,000. If they fight to the death, the Pound Army will definitely suffer a lot of casualties.

When the pursuing Mongolian cavalry saw the Ponu Army retreat, they immediately excitedly raised their horse whip and chased the enemy. Zhang Shangao, the Thousand General Officer of the Ponu Army, was one of the blind soldiers who started by Zhang Dashen. He was qualified and experienced and had many military achievements. He followed Zhang Dashen for a long time to fight, so he naturally learned to fight in the war. Since the Mongolians were going to pursue, Zhang Shangao certainly didn't mind luring the enemy into the Ponu Army's patrol circle.

In the quiet night of the grassland, the blast of the muskets could spread far away. Xu Liang, who heard the sound of the muskets, was both excited and worried. He was excited that his troops had been waiting for so long and finally had a big fish hooked up. Xu Liang was also worried about the safety of his subordinates patrolling the outside world. Just when Xu Liang was consolidating his troops, Zhang Shangao's messenger came to report: Five thousand Mongolian cavalry were chasing Zhang Shangao's horse team, and our team was led by General Zhang Shangao to lure the enemy into the southwest.

Now, Xu Liang became even more excited. He laughed and scolded: "This blind Zhang is really smart, brothers! Don't use a torch, and wrap the Mongolians in and fight to the death!"

Xu Liang immediately ordered people to come from the camp to get the tripping rope and arranged it on the way to retreat in Zhangshangao. This tripping rope is one of the powerful weapons invented by Zhang Dashuai. It is fixed by a half-meter iron rod and the hemp rope is twenty meters long. The two of them pulled it up with a winch and can play a role in just a blink of an eye. The gear clip invented by Wang Ermu, a master craftsman in Ponucheng, added a boost to this efficient tripping rope. This tripping rope, which is specially used on the grassland, can be installed in just one stick of incense. Xu Liang set up an obstacle zone on the battlefield two miles wide and one half long. In order to give his direct brothers a hint, he lit a grease torch in front of the tripping rope obstacle.

Xu Liang was still ambushing a 3,000-man musket soldier on the north side of the triple-marsole, which was to attack the Mongolian cavalry that entered the ambush circle from the side, and at the same time ordered 500 war soldiers to hide in the pile of soldiers who set up slaughter. The soldiers of the Pou Army who had been trained to lure the enemy overnight, almost ran away from both sides of the torch when they saw the torch prompt, and avoided the untie. They were in a good mood to lure the enemy soldiers in the obstacle area, and even took advantage of the time to greet the brothers who were familiar with the ambushing in the obstacle area.

When the enemy horse team was lured through the obstacle zone, the triple horses were pulled up from inside to outside, which was to trap the Mongolian cavalry to the greatest extent. The five thousand Mongolian pursuers were separated from the Ponu army cavalry one mile away. The war horses marching at high speed encountered the triple horses, and the result was that they fell down. In this chaotic area, people shouted and neighed the horses and gave the Ponu army the best guide target. When the Ponu army went down one round of muskets, the other party cried loudly. The soldiers who were lying on the scales of the Mongolian chaos, lying on the round earth walls, holding a three-foot waist knife in one hand and a dagger in the other, waiting for the attacked Mongolians to come to their doors.

In the darkness, fires fired by muskets were everywhere, and the metal storm caused by lead bullets blew up the death whirlwind. The pursuing Mongolian cavalry had no room for counterattack, and they looked for a place to settle in the night. Dozens of four-foot mounds of earth in the barrier belt became the ideal place for Mongolian cavalry who had lost their war horses to avoid lead bullets. They rushed towards the mound regardless of their care. The two broken slave soldiers in the mound were lying in order to protect the blind spots of brothers in a trenches. As soon as they saw the Mongols rushing into the mound, they raised their swords and stabbed them, killing one, and killing one, and killing one.

After the musket soldiers shot three rounds, they approached south step by step under the leadership of the officers. Each round of advance was accompanied by the shooting of muskets, and each platoon shooting would cause new deaths to the Mongols in the ambush circle. The Pound Slave Army is now strong and does not want the Mongols' war horses. Therefore, the Pound Slave Army's musket soldiers aimed at any life that was still moving in the night to fire lead bullets.

After the five rounds of shooting of the Pou Nu Army's musket soldiers, there was basically no life in the ambush circle. There were less than 500 Mongolian pursuers, fleeing this death zone. Even the escaped Mongolian cavalry did not completely escape from danger. The Pou Nu Army's cavalry, who were killed on both sides, completely destroyed their hope of survival. After the Pou Nu Army's musket soldiers approached the ambush area, they gradually marched towards the death zone, and saw that they were alive and dismembered.
