Chapter 487: The west wind breaks the east wind, the ghost clouds come out of the sheath and kill the slave chief
On the northern battlefield of Shuangsheng Mountain, Xu Zhen's army, which attacked the female real blue flag, did not go very smoothly. The female real blue flag leader Bele Amin fought against the Po Nu Army many times and was captured by the Po Nu Army twice, so he was always thinking about the tactics of the Po Nu Army. This time, Amin learned that the Po Nu Army commander Zhang Ping'an personally led the troops to command the battle, and he felt a stir in his heart. Since he could not avoid the Po Nu Army led by the Grassland Fox Wolf, Amin built his camp very strongly.
As early as when Nurhaci led a million Jurchen army to siege Pinucheng, Amin commanded offensive wars and artillery battles at the foot of Baishan, he had a very thorough understanding of the weakness of the Pound Slave Army's crossbow gun firing*. Therefore, Amin not only built an outer bunker in the Nuzhen Blue Flag Camp, but also dug a large number of trenches in the military camp. Amin also knew that there were thousands of miles mirrors at the observation post of the Pound Slave Army's Shuangsheng Mountain, so when the Jurchens were digging trenches, they basically used wooden boards to cover the digging trenches when the light was bright.
In the camp covered with spider webs, the Jurchens also built a large number of connecting bunkers to protect the intersections of the trenches. Since Luo Tian’s observation focused on the southern military camp of the Jurchens, the three small staff members who were arranged to observe the female real blue flag camp were all trainees with no practical experience, so they did not find the hidden trenches in the female real blue flag camp. They just recorded the newly added bunkers on the map for reference by Zhang Dashen. Zhang Ping'an did not care about the female real blue flag attack at first, until the attack of Xu Zhen’s troops was repeatedly set and attacked Gao Chenggong’s troops in the northern military camp of the Jurchens. After the attack on the female real blue flag camp was blocked, Zhang Ping'an had to turn his attention from other places to the female real blue flag camp.
Zhang Ping'an saw the soldiers of Xu Zhen, and advanced towards the Nu Zhen Lanqi camp under the cover of the musket soldiers. Although the Jurchen archers were suppressed by the Musket soldiers of the Pou Nu Army and could not show their heads, the arrows shot from the bunker could still cause certain casualties to the attack on the Pou Nu Army. Especially the Pou Nu sabre shield hand approaching the Nu Zhen Lanqi camp, the scattered guns fired in the bunker were knocked to the ground in pieces. Although the range of the Tiger Cannon was limited, the distance of about ten feet in front of the protective wall was exactly the best range of the Tiger Cannon. The Tiger Cannons fired in turn successfully blocked the pace of the Pou Nu Army's attack.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Ping'an was extremely angry. Although Xu Zhen was not old, he was considered an old commander of the Slave Army. Why did he still use such a fighting method of fighting hard?
"Xiao Luotian, go and send an order to Xu Zhen: If there is no chariot, can't you use a box truck to block the shotgun? If he doesn't find a way to reduce casualties today, he will go forward to fill the trenches by himself! Order Gao Chenggong's attacking troops to suspend the attack and monitor the female real blue flag camp on the spot."
After Luo Tian recorded the angry orders of Mr. Zhang, he passed them to Xu Zhen's command location through the flag language hand. Xu Zhen felt uncomfortable when he saw the excessive casualties of his headquarters, and he became even more irritable when he was scolded by Zhang Ping'an. Fortunately, his military staff officer Shen Youhu reminded: "Don't be anxious, Mr. Xu's wake-up is very timely. Let's take down the troops first, and then nail them to the side of the box truck with a quilt. At least when filling the trenches, our soldiers will suffer much less casualties."
Under the persuasion of the staff officer Shen Youhu, Xu Zhen also calmed down a lot. They attacked the female real blue flag camp, but did not allow the female real blue flag to support the main camp of Nurhaci. Thinking of this, Xu Zhen retreated the troops fifty feet and used a pack horse to pull more than 100 boxes of trucks to improve the local thickening. The Gao Chenggong troops, the personal military camp who attacked from the east to the edge of the female real blue flag camp, also suspended the attack after receiving the orders of General Zhang and monitored the enemy's movements.
Taking advantage of the battle stop, Zhang Ping'an began to carefully look at the Mid-Zhi Lanqi military camp. After a while, Zhang Ping'an was quite moved by Amin's ability to lead troops. This Mid obviously judged the direction of the attack of the Pou Nu Army, and also guessed that the Vulture Northern Barracks of the Vulver Army would definitely become the main target of the Bulver Army's attack. Therefore, Amin concentrated the war horses of the Zhenglan Banner on the north side of the military camp, which showed that once the Mid-Zhi Lanqi camp was defeated by the Bulver Army, he would lead the troops to evacuate from the north.
When Zhang Ping'an saw two or three hundred bunkers with new soil compacted in the telescope, he felt something was wrong. He called Luo Tian to blame him, "After all, you are the General Manager Qian. How do you observe the enemy camps under your subordinates? How much soil does it take to use for so many bunkers? Haven't you ever thought about where this soil comes from?"
Xiao Luotian was obviously a little dissatisfied with Marshal Zhang's reproach. He pointed at the female real blue flag camp aggrievedly and replied: "I have reported the situation here to the Chief of Staff. As for whether the Chief of Staff reported it to you, how do I know!"
"You bad boy! You also know that you have eye drops on your Chief of Staff. You are not afraid that Gu Xin's little face will give you little shoes? I'm here to command, and you can see me every day, so why don't you tell me? Don't say it's useless, tell me where this new land comes from?"
"What's hard to guess? It must be Amin who dug the dirt from the trench in the camp!"
When Zhang Ping'an and Luo Tian were entangled in the bunker in the Nine-Zhi Lan Banner camp, the red-clothed cannons of the Pou Nu Army and the general cannons in the Jurchen Wuzhenchaoha camp confronted each other, attracting Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Nu Army, back to the front battlefield. Babutai personally commanded the general cannons of the Wuzhenchaoha camp to bombard the Pou Nu Army positions. At the same time, Li Yongfang led 20,000 musket soldiers to gather in the open space east outside the Wuzhenchaoha camp, preparing to take down the temporary position established by the Pou Nu Army here under the cover of the general cannon.
In order to protect the red-clothed cannons in the center of the position, the Ponu Army established two lines of defense outside the Wuzhenchaoha camp. The outermost tanks used wide and thick carriages to cover the lead guns and general artillery fired from the Wuzhenchaoha enemy camp. However, the leaders of the Ponu Army commanded on the front line, including Yang Meimei, the deputy commander of the artillery team, underestimated the power of the Jurchen general artillery firing live ammunition. The Jurchen Wuzhenchaoha camp artillery team adopted the volley tactics, and more than 100 goalkeeper artillery fired successively in the camp, and the rumbling cannons shocked the entire battlefield.
The one-foot-thick fence of the camp was broken by shells, and all hard and soft objects were swept across the solid body of the Bonus Army chariot. Facing the solid body of the Bonus Army chariot, the shells first tore the outer skin of the body, smashed through the thick wooden body and shook a large ball of wood chips into the body, and then embedded in the inner car. The wooden thorns that were shaken by the live ammunition caused secondary damage. The soldiers of the Bonus Army in the car originally thought that the face armor was in the way, but the Bonus Army strictly stipulated that anyone on the battlefield must be neatly armored. This iron law saved the death toll of the Bonus Army in the chariot.
Although the arms and eyes of the Pou Nu Army soldiers in the chariot were damaged by broken wooden stabs, none of them died directly from the crack of the wooden stabs. However, the Guang-backed bullocks who were dragging the chariot forward were not so lucky. They were stabbed by the wooden stabs and violently tried to relieve the pain. However, the wheels of the chariot were stuck by the fixed wooden wedges, causing the left and right bullocks to shake. The driver who was driving the chariot was comforted while pulling out the wooden stabs on the chariot. Seeing this, Zhao Guangming, the commander of the chariot battalion, ordered all soldiers in the chariot to go out of the chariot and use the slow time of loading ammunition to strengthen the chariot protection.
In fact, there was nothing to be busy with. The Posou Army just added sandbags to the enemy direction of the chariot. In order to speed up, the auxiliary soldiers who came up from behind to transport straw bags were fetching soil on the spot, and Huang Zhi's musketeers provided cover. At the same time, the red-clothed cannon in the center of the position also fired a round of live ammunition into the enemy camp, but the accurate head of the red-clothed cannon was indeed not good. Shuangshengshan's targets instructed the artillery team, and all the live ammunition fired by the red-clothed cannon fell. Zhang Ping'an saw this situation on the coaching platform. The accuracy of the red-clothed cannon was too bad. He wanted to explode the ammunition pile of Wuzhen Chaoha's general cannon. The nearest shell was five or six meters away from the explosion point.
"Luo Tian, tell Sister Yang that the crossbow cannon will be replaced with high-gap* and shoot at the enemy cannon position continuously. The Shuangshengshan Observation Staff will report the bullet point to him at any time."
The order issued by Zhang Dashen was quickly executed. Yang's artillery team moved fifty crossbows forward to the rear of the chariot and fired a round of * at the general artillery position of Wuzhen Chaoha camp. However, the Jurchen artillery team had long expected that the Pou Nu Army would use the crossbows to suppress the general artillery, so when building the artillery position, the general artillery position was built three and a half miles away from the Pou Nu Army's position, the bombardment of the Pou Nu Army raised a fog in front of the Jurchen artillery position and had no effect. As the front line commander, Zhao Guangming asked Sister Yang to discuss urgently: "Sister! We can't do this. It's useless to waste the shells. What are you doing?"
As a veteran of using cannons, Sister Yang also thought of a way to deal with it: "Brother Ming, the fence of the camp on the north side of Wuzhenchao Ha Camp was blown away by their general's cannons, and the trench was also filled by our auxiliary soldiers. Can we break their walls and approach the enemy cannon formation?"
The idea of Yang Mei's battle made Zhao Guangming silent. In Zhao Guangming's view, the existence of the Wuzhen Chaoha Camp can force Mingzhi musket soldiers to form an array to attack in the east, which will be of great benefit to the Possess Army defending their positions. Once the Possess Army destroys the northern wall fence of Wuzhen Chaoha, the Jurchen musket soldiers can gather troops in the camp to attack the Possess Army from the south, and the support from Hu Ming's direction no longer works. They set up positions here to delay the Wuzhen Chaoha Camp's rescue of Nurhaci's Zhenghuang Banner Camp. As long as they can hold the position, they will have the greatest support for the entire army's battlefield. Thinking of this, Zhao Guangming rejected Yang Mei's suggestion.
