Chapter 506: The siege and anti-encirclement of the bloody grassland battle (11)

Faced with Gu Xin's doubts, Zhang Ping'an didn't care much at all. He flipped the map again, and found the topographic map of Ponu City, and then pointed at Guangning City with his fingers: "What can the Jurchens do after this battle? Of course, they are fighting for the Khan throne! If Huang Taiji takes the throne and wants to consolidate his Khan throne, he must bring the two main forces of the Jurchen white flags back to Liaodong. At this time, the main force of my Ponu Army suddenly launched an attack on Guangning. My Ponu Army has this powerful weapon, and it doesn't take too much time to break Guangning."

Qu Guozheng interrupted and asked, "Your boss is not the old saying. It's not time to fully counterattack the Liaodong Juzhen. Is it necessary to defend it to build Guangning? The mountain road here is rugged, how much baggage does it take to defend it?"

"Oh! Sometimes war is not necessarily to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, but more to strive for political initiative! I won't explain the word politics. The word is explained in the newspapers issued by Gu Xin. War is an extension of politics. We will not let the Possess Army defend, but to hand Guangning over to the Ming Dynasty court, so that the Ming Dynasty court can send Liaodong border troops to defend. In this way, we can take the initiative to withdraw, and let the Jurchens and the Liaodong border troops fight to the death.

Originally, the two white flags of Huang Taiji in this battle were not much loss, but for him, the new Khan, not only did his prestige be ruined, but his responsibility for losing the city and trapping the ground also made Huang Taiji unable to speak in front of other Beiles. If you want to say that this time, only the female real Red Flag Bele Daishan, the Inlaid Blue Flag Bele Mangurtai, and the Zhenglan Flag Bele Amin. But Amin and Mangurtai were once captured by our Slave Army. You said that Zhenghong Flag Bele Daishan has such a great advantage, would he not have any further ideas?

Let’s talk about the Ming Dynasty. This time we occupied Guangning and made a great contribution to the Liaodong border army to accept it. We stood at the commanding heights of the righteousness and asked the court for benefits who dared to say no. Even if Sun Chengzong, the old fox, saw through my thoughts, the Ming Dynasty must swallow Guangning. National affairs, please inform Zheng Tai in the capital in advance and ask him to go to the major camps in the capital to say hello, tell them that the water in Liaodong is too deep and not to join in blindly. If anyone is greedy for military merit, we will not go to the funeral.

The news of killing Nurhaci this time was not clearly issued to each battalion and the government offices of Ponu City, so as not to proceed with subsequent arrangements. The General Staff issued an urgent report to Lu Xiangsheng, strictly ordering him to strengthen inspections and Ponu City defense, so that the Jurchens should not take advantage of this critical juncture." Zhang Ping'an explained all the major policies and guidelines he had been thinking about during this period to Gu Xin and Qu Guozheng, which made the two of them admire Zhang's far-reaching plot.

.........

After the sky was bright, the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield was not over. Tian Peng, the mountain troops of the Po Nu Army, led the rescue army to the battlefield where Kong Xiangyi and the others were stationed. The dead soldiers of the enemy and us were entangled in a small position. After counting, more than 2,000 Po Nu Army soldiers were left, and only more than 310 people were left to move, and only twelve people could stand. Faced with such heavy casualties, Tian Peng felt guilty. Just as Tian Peng led the reinforcements to clean up the battlefield, an astonishing news made Tian Peng mess up.

The main force of the female real Red Flag cavalry was 20,000 people, and they were about to arrive at the battlefield of Kuaicai Valley. Tian Peng also knew that he could no longer disperse his troops. If he just fought against the enemy to the death, they would explain to this place. The female real Red Flag Beile Daishan is a veteran of a long battle formation. As soon as he arrived at the battlefield of Kuaicai Valley, he brought a thousand soldiers to investigate the battlefield himself. Without looking for a while, Daishan discovered the deficiencies of the Pou Nu Army. Without making any adjustments, he ordered Jia Laerzhen Sony to lead a thousand cavalry to seize an inconspicuous hill on the west side of the Pou Nu Army's position.

Later, Daishan ordered Meerer-Ezhen Cherge (Eyidu's three sons.) to take 5,000 cavalry to cruise behind the Hesheli Soni formation. Daishan immediately issued another order: Once the Soni army attacked the Soni position with a musket army formation, the tactics of luring the enemy into deep and isolating its vanguard troops. Cherge could divide the troops into more than ten cavalry teams, and multi-headed attacks to tear the Soni army's musket formation from all directions. Daishan's deployment of troops was to learn the Mongols' wolves' tactics and divide the tight military formation of the Soni army.

Dai Shan also lacked combat experience in bullying Tian Peng. If he fought against the grassland fox wolf Zhang Ping'an, he would never dare to use troops so boldly. Tian Peng's actual combat experience is not bad, but he just ignored the small hill on the retreat of the Ponu Army. The hill was only ten feet high and the slope was flat and had no defensive value. Moreover, it was only one and a half miles away from the Dayanling Mountain Road. The Ponu Army could return to their familiar combat area with one charge. It was Tian Peng's small mistake that caused the Ponu Army to be surrounded by tens of thousands of Jurchen cavalry.

Seeing the Jurchens bullying him like this, Tian Peng was so angry that he felt itchy. At this time, Tian Peng calmed down. The Jurchens' arrangement seemed very scary, and it would not be difficult for the Pou Nu Army to break through. However, the enemy discovered the intention of the Pou Nu Army to break through, and it was very likely that a big battle would be fought. Tian Peng was not afraid of the heavy casualties of the troops, but was afraid that they could not hold the Jurchens' main force and cause changes in the battle situation on the battlefield of Hasensumu. Therefore, Tian Peng was optimistic about the Pou Nu Army being surrounded by the Jurchens.

What's more, Liu Yuhu informed him of the material preparations. The materials they were fighting in their hands now were enough to last ten days. With the material foundation, Tian Peng concentrated his troops on three positions and acted as if he was fighting to the death with the Jurgent master, which scared Daishan to a great extent. Daishan was not here to fight the Ponu Army. He was forced by his father Khan to save his son Yue Tuo. On the way to Kucai Valley, they met the scout of the Inlaid Blue Flag and knew that Mangguertai had launched an attack on the Ponu Army.

Seeing that Mangurtai had already seized the rescue head, Daishan was also anxious. Now his father Khan Nurhaci was in a daze. If he did not obey Khan, he would definitely deprive him of military power. Daishan led the army halfway and suddenly felt something was wrong. Zhang Ping'an, the grassland fox wolf, was making a trap for Nurhaci and forcing the Jurgent master to leave the battlefield. As a veteran on the battlefield, Daishan did not dare to oppose Nurhaci's decision, he still ordered 10,000 soldiers to return to the main battlefield of Hasensumu.

After Dai Shan issued this order, he kept praying that the Pou Nu Army would not make any trouble. After all, it would take more than a day for the 10,000 cavalrymen who returned to the rescue of the Zhenghong Banner to return to the Hasensumu grassland. Therefore, as soon as Dai Shan arrived at the Dayanling Kucai Valley battlefield, he immediately sent a large army to cut off the Pou Nu Army's retreat. Dai Shan's plan was also very smart, and he found that the Pou Nu Army's army was still mainly infantry. Although the Jurchens could not defeat the Pou Nu Army's musket formation, the female cavalry's fast maneuvering characteristics could prevent the Pou Nu Army's infantry from attacking the cavalry effectively.

After Dai Shan separated the retreat of the Ponu Army, he focused on observing the reaction of the Ponu Army on the opposite side. Dai Shan became more and more frightened as he watched. The Ponu Army had no intention of opening up the retreat and went all out to strengthen the existing defense line. The Ponu Army's move made Dai Shan realize that the battlefield in Kucai Valley was just a situation set by Zhang Ping'an, a false situation that specifically attracted the main force of Jurchen. Thinking of this, Dai Shan couldn't help but feel sad. He thought of Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Ponu Army on the battlefield of Hasensumu, and must have seized the opportunity to launch a general attack on the Jurchen coalition.

That night, Daishan sent people to find his son Yuetuo and the Inlaid Blue Flag Belemanguertai to discuss the next step. Manguertai was very bachelor. He didn't want to go back to the Hasensumu grassland at all. The excuse was to rescue the Inlaid Red Flag in the battle and could no longer fight without rest. The Inlaid Red Flag Belemanguertai, who was injured in the camp, was intentional but powerless. The Jurchen Inlaid Red Flag, which had more than 20,000 people, could only fight for only 3,000 people. They discussed for two days and had no result, and they got news that shocked them all.

The grassland jackal wolf Zhang Ping'an took advantage of the opportunity of Jurgen's main force to support the Red Flag of the Red Flag to launch a counterattack against the Jurchen coalition. He only took one day to break through the main camp of Zhenghuang Banner, captured the Jurchen Khan Nurhaci alive and beheaded on the battlefield. Before they had finished digesting the shocking sky, the Zhenghong Banner scout came another news related to them. A Pou Nu Army with about 30,000 people was approaching Dayanling, and this army was less than a day away from the Nu Zhen Hongqi Camp. The three veterans on the battlefield guessed that the purpose of the Pou Nu Army's army came here to rescue the Pou Nu Army besieged by them to escape.

Without looking at the map, the three of them had a picture in their minds. That is, they used their military advantages to surround the 20,000 Posou Army in Kucai Valley. The reinforcements of Posou Army had already arrived behind them. No matter how the Jurchens arranged troops, the reinforcements of the Posou Army were about to form a counter-encircle of the Jurgens. The three of them led the troops to Beile knew very well that the Jurgen cavalry could fight in total only 50,000 people, and they could only roughly surround the Posou Army infantry against Kucai Valley. They dare not say that they could defeat the Posou Army in person.

If the reinforcements of the Pou Nu Army arrived, the 50,000 Pou Nu Army fought against 50,000 Jurchen soldiers, unless they could make a surprise plan for the other side, the generals of the Pou Nu Army would have to be stupid, otherwise the outcome would have been determined before the war. The Pou Nu Army generals would not be fooled unless the grassland fox wolves were fooled. The reality is always cruel, and the grassland fox wolves would certainly not be fooled. Since this premise is available, their remaining military arrangements can only choose to preserve their strength and evacuate the battlefield. After all, there are more than 20,000 wounded soldiers in the Enanguine Red Flag, and the cold weather is cold and far away from the hinterland of Liaodong. It is really not easy to go back if the Red Flag lacks livestock.
