In autumn, the grassland was golden, with a little cold air mixed in the breeze. On the grassland where livestock were over-concentrated, the feces excreted by livestock made the evil wolves escape far away. After receiving a reply from Zhang Dashui from the rear, Zhang Li also gave the order to encircle and annihilate Hongguoer with regret. Zhang Li transferred Liu Chong's troops to the southwest and took over Liu Chong to station in the north. He left a large hole four miles wide in the east. At the same time, Zhang Li concentrated the artillery teams of three troops in the northwest of Lama Aile, and took advantage of the advantage of the wind vent here to drive the Mongolian army out of the barracks.

The Mongolian general Hong Guoer, just arrived at the same time that day, the Mongolian army scouts found that the Possess Army was out of the camp and lined up. Hong Guoer knew that today was the day of a decisive battle. This time he gave up all his supplies and only loaded his wealth with thirty horses. He wanted to go into battle and evacuate the battlefield with light load. At this time, Hong Guoer regretted it very much. If he had known why he had to go today, he would not have had the predicament he had today if he had run away a few days ago. But the urgent form of the battlefield would not allow him to think too much, and he had to choose the direction of the Mongolian army breaking through today.

In fact, there is no good choice. The Pou Nu Army has formed a force of attacking on both sides, and the gap left is the east except the west. Hong Guoer cannot go to the west, and it is in the opposite direction from the Ming'an camp. Moreover, the Mongolian army scouts discovered the Pou Nu Army artillery array there, and went there to seek death. The direction that could break through can only go east now. Even if Mongolia was defeated by the Pou Nu Army, at least there is a place to escape. Hong Guoer, who had a certain conclusion, began to arrange troops.

After Hong Guoer left the camp, he gathered southward. The target he chose was Tian Peng's army in the mountainous army of the Pou Nu Army. But Hong Guoer was also very cunning. He left only three thousand cavalry to use the fortifications of the camp to slow down the attack of Zhang Li's army in the north. From the number of troops, Hong Guoer also saw that Zhang Li's army was the top main force in the Pou Nu Army. Since he could be the main force in the Pou Nu Army, his combat power was definitely one of the best troops in the Pou Nu Army. For the strong army in the Pou Nu Army, Hong Guoer felt that he did not have the strength yet.

The reason why he chose Tian Peng's army as a breakthrough was that he felt that the area of ​​Tian Peng's army's armor was smaller than that of other troops of the Pou Nu Army. Based on this, Hong Guoer believed that Tian Peng's army was an unpopular unit in the Pou Nu Army. Hong Guoer knew that the number of veterans in the Tian Peng's army accounted for more than 60% of the unit, and was one of the few elite troops in the Pou Nu Army. His armor was small and specially designed to adapt to mountain combat. After selecting the offensive target, Hong Guoer made a false formation. He divided the 30,000 main cavalry into three attacking arrow formations, two of which pointed directly to Liu Chong's army in the southwest direction.

However, the attack formation in central Mongolia is facing southwest, but the cavalry war horses and horse heads are facing south. Hongguoer's false attack formation was seen through by Tian Peng and Liu Chong, who were old in the war. When the two commanders of the two commanders told each other the results of this speculation, Tian Peng and Liu Chong would smile. Tian Peng came out today to arrange the latest variant of the Bagua formation deduced by the General Staff, mainly selecting the Dui Formation, Qian Formation and Kun Formation as the main formations. These three formations are very suitable for the musket soldiers of the Pound Slave Army to give full play to the advantages of long-range shooting of muskets.

Just in case, Tian Peng arranged the five thousand-man army formations on the second floor according to the old formation of the Po Slave Army. Tian Peng's mountain troops faced the enemy in the north and formed three complete Dui, Qian and Kun army formations according to the thousand-man team. They were to test these three Bagua formations, which of which formation was the most practical in actual combat. In order to observe the actual combat effect of the new army formation, Tian Peng brought two hundred guards to the east side of the second-level army formation and took out a telescope from his arms to carefully observe the entire battlefield. Tian Peng saw in the telescope that the Mongolian army formation flag covered the sun, and except for the messy armor of the warhorse, the overall morale was still good.

Because of fighting on the plains, Tian Peng's vision was not very good, but Tian Peng knew that there was not much time left for the Mongols. Once the Bonnie Army's crossbow cannon was fired, Zhang Li's main force would definitely come from the rear of the Mongolian army. The Mongolian army only lined up in the south, exposing the huge back to the main cavalry of the Bonnie Army. According to Tian Peng's speculation, as long as Zhang Li's troops started attacking, Hong Guoer protected the troops in the rear for no time. About shortly after the Mongolian army formation was formed, Zhang Li's troops in the Poundi Army sounded the horn of the attack.

Accompanied by the terrifying sound of horse hooves on the ground like thunder, Zhang Li's cavalry arranged into a wide attacking formation and slowly crushed towards the southern Mongolian camp. The reason why Zhang Li dared to use troops like this was that he received a notice from the scouts and the flag-speaking hands. The main Mongolian force lined up in the south of his camp. In Zhang Li's opinion, the opponent's 30,000 main forces were not necessarily his opponent of the Eagle Camp. The little troops left by Hong Guoer were not enough to fill his teeth. Even so, Zhang Li still ordered the crossbow to bombard the Mongolian camp, and then quickly followed up and fired, and stopped firing the cannons when the Eagle Camp caught the enemy.

The Pou Nu Army was passing through the air and rubbing the air with a sharp whistling sound, which exploded in the middle of the Mongolian military camp within a radius of a hundred feet. The air waves produced by the explosion tore the yurts in the camp and threw them around. Tian Peng, who was confronting the Mongolian army in the south, heard the rumbling explosion from the north, and complained to Zhang Li for a little anxious. If Zhang Li could wait for another half an hour, when the Mongolian army took the lead in attacking, the Mongolian army, which had no way out, would collapse become inevitable when the Pou Nu Army attacked on both sides.

At this moment, Tian Peng didn't care about the hindrance of the horse, and his attention was all focused on the current battlefield. Tian Peng again inspected his military formation, eight thousand musket soldiers, two large military formations that were two miles long and one mile long, three and five behind the musket soldiers. The phalanx of five thousand cavalry was erected behind the musket soldiers, and two thousand stood behind the musket soldiers to fill the possible crisis of musket soldiers. The three thousand cavalry faced north and northeast to pursue the enemy. One thousand cavalry was on the easternmost side of the military formation, and was ready to enter the battlefield where they needed the most.

Forced by Zhang Li's attack and war experience, Hong Guoer knew that there was not much time left for him. If he had not broken through the Boru Army formation within one hour, it would be not far from his complete defeat. So Hong Guoer ordered the entire army to charge towards the designated area. All the Mongolian soldiers knew that the Boru Army liked to kill prisoners, and they would have a chance to survive in the battle to fight to the death or hand over their weapons to wait for death. They chose to open a way of life without hesitation. They took the lead in attacking the southeast Arrow Formation, and the middle army formation was suspected of being westward due to the fact that they had doubts about the formation, and in a short time they lost the opportunity to adjust their formation.

Like Tian Peng, Liu Chong divided the military formation into two front and back musket formations. The three front musket formations are also the latest Bagua formations. When Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Nu Army, chose the Bagua formation, instead of choosing the military formation according to the superstitious set, he chose the most suitable military formation in the war from a practical perspective. In the view of Zhang Dashen, in addition to the superstitious role, the Li and Kan formations are only suitable for cold weapons. The Pou Nu Army, which is mainly firearms, can occupy more than 80% of the Pou Nu Army's combat camps. Therefore, it is inevitable to choose the three military formations of Dui, Gan and Kun.

When Liu Chong was in war, he liked to use battlefield strategies like Zhang Dashen. Since he guessed Hongguoer's tactics, he naturally had a solution to it. His musket army formation was not as thick as Tian Peng. Apart from the first row of test military formations, there were only two thousand musket army formations behind him. He quietly transferred the main force to the right wing of the military formation. Liu Chong did this, first, strengthen the joint between the headquarters and Tian Peng, and not be occupied by the Mongolian army, and second, he could attack the Mongolian army from two sides.

Liu Chong knew the weakness of Tian Peng's mountain troops, that is, the range of muskets is not as far as that of other camps. Liu Chong was afraid that Tian Peng would suffer losses. When Mongolia began to attack and could not change the formation, he cut his main musket soldiers towards the central position of the Mongolian army. Tian Peng's army was arranged in a thicker manner. He knew that his troops had weaknesses in musket range, so Tian Peng's strategy was to make up for the shortcomings. The Bonus Army's musket formation generally used three single rows to shoot in turn, while Tian Peng used double rows to shoot six-layer military formations.

The advantage of this tactic is that it has dense lead and bullets, which can kill and attack enemies on a large scale. Therefore, when the Mongolian cavalry speeds up, when the range of the muskets of the 70-foot mountain troops is limited, Tian Peng's musket soldiers start the first round of shooting. Tian Peng's musket shooting at this long-range shooting adopts the rough shooting of the raised musket invented by Huang Zhimen, which uses the characteristics of the ballistic ability of the musket to cover the long-range enemies with lead bullets. After the sound of Tian Peng's musket shooting exploded, balls of white smoke emerged from the musket formation in front row of military formations.

After the Pou Nu Army's musket was fired, bursts of blood and dust were rolled up in the enemy's cavalry from 70 to 75 feet apart. In this large group of smoke, hundreds of Mongolian cavalry, people and war horses rolled on the battlefield with passion. If the speeding war horses behind were tripped by obstacles in front, those who were waiting for them would be seriously injured or died. The falling Mongolian cavalry was trampled into flesh mud by the cavalry behind. Many Mongolian cavalry had not had time to thank their good luck before they could be glad for their good luck.

War horses are spiritual animals, and Mongolian war horses were also frightened by the fire of muskets in front of them. The overly frightened war horses are no longer controlled by their owners and run around in panic. Even if the Mongolians grow up on horseback, they are all masters who control horses, and they cannot control the crazy war horses. The Mongolian attacking military formation began to deform and be in chaos. The crazy horses in front of the military formation were running randomly, either left, right, or even over the back, mixing a well-known arrow formation into a circular formation.

The pain of the Mongolians did not end there. Liu Chong's right wing six musket formations resolutely pressed forward when the Mongolian cavalry charged. Perhaps because of their sympathy, Liu Chong's musket formations were quite consistent with Tian Peng's troops, and they were also two rows of six-level military formations. Since Zhang Dashen fought with the Hui army in Daming Pass, Huang Zhi's troops raised their muskets to make a brief shooting tactics, and after being praised by Zhang Dashen, they have been promoted in the Po Nu Army, and all the battalions of the Po Nu Army have learned this tactics.

When Liu Chong's troops used this tactic to launch a counterattack on the Mongolian army, they caused death to the Mongolian cavalry! (To be continued)
