Chapter 510: The Bloody Battle of the Grassland (4)

Zhang Ping'an was very happy to see the tactics of the Japanese pirates during the war. If he had the most disliked nation in his heart, he would be considered the Japanese. Therefore, the Pou Nu Army had never seen the sea, so he began to form a naval army. Although most generals in the Pou Nu Army opposed the establishment of this idiot army, Zhang Ping'an was determined to promote what Zhang Ping'an dared to stand up and oppose it. The main goal of Zhang Ping'an's formation of this naval army was that the Japanese, which was separated from the Ming Dynasty.

In the high-power telescope, the range of the fuselage guns used by the Japanese could not catch up with their archers shooting arrows. Zhang Ping'an roughly estimated that the range of the fuselage guns of the Japanese pirates was only about 30 meters, and the shooting distance was much worse than that of the Jurchen Wuzhen Chaochao Camp. Seeing this, Zhang Ping'an overturned his earlier expectation, and he wanted to deal with the Japanese pirates here.

"Gu Xin! The Japanese pirates are not very well equipped. Can we destroy them all on the spot?"

"Master, don't underestimate the enemy! No matter how few enemies there are, you must pay great attention to it. What's more, there are 20,000 people here. Although the Frankie people are not large, the firearms are no worse than us! I insist on recommending eliminating the enemy in the field battle on the Yutan River battlefield, please decide!"

"Okay! Gu Xin's advice this time makes sense, I underestimate the enemy! You can make more suggestions in the future. Well, I will give you a silver medal after the war. Any suggestions on the battlefield are contrary to my wishes, I will not be punished. I have to make it clear first, it can only be a war, and other suggestions are not included in the protection. You will contact Wang Qinghe after the war. OK, I will read all the things I should read. Your General Staff will make plans and hand the documents to me."

After saying that, Zhang Ping'an led his personal guard back to the tent. He had a lot of things. In addition to war, he had to review the documents and newspapers of the civil yamen. The latest intelligence from the Intelligence Department and the Investigation Department were constantly being carried out every day. Although the staff officers took on many trivial official duties of Zhang Ping'an, he had to make the decisions on various major matters as the commander of the first army. Soon, Hu Ming and Huang Zhi followed him in. When Zhang Ping'an saw that they entered the door, they immediately had a headache. Without guessing, they all wanted to grab the final military merits.

In Zhang Ping'an's mind, as the absolute main force used in the use of the musket of the Slave Army, Huang Zhi's Yin Wolf Camp was of course the unscrupulous choice in this battle. The bad thing is that Hu Ming, the hob, is shameless to see any opportunity to achieve military merits. Although Zhang Ping'an scolded Hu Ming for stealing military merits, he actually admired Hu Ming's high sense of war in his heart.

"When I come, I'll wait for my arrangements. I know what you two want to do. Do this, you haven't had dinner yet, so you go to Ma Wu for dinner first. I'll talk to the national government first. I'll give you a promise first. This time, you two troops will play the main force. I have to think about the specific way of playing! Tell Ma Wu, I want to eat boiled beef tonight, so that he must not cook the beef too old!"

Zhang Ping'an didn't give them the chance to speak at all, and directly expressed that he would make the final offensive arrangement during the military discussion after dinner. He sent Hu Ming and the others away. Seeing that Qu Guozheng had been waiting for a long time, Zhang Ping'an took a stack of tidy intelligence and took it over and sat directly on the Xiaoyao chair. While looking at the pirates, he said to Qu Guozheng: "Guozheng, you and me are not too short, so why bother to be careful in front of me all day long? Should you sit on a stool? Do you want me to invite you every time? If I get tired of this, you are tired too!"

As the Po Nu Army grew day by day, Qu Guozheng, who was in a high position, became more and more cautious. He could not take Zhang Ping'an's words seriously. It is logical that the Investigation Office was established for the longest time, but since the Chief of the Investigation Office, Xu Yian, went to Daming to preside over the intelligence matters within the pass, the Investigation Office's status in the Po Nu Army was far less than that of the Intelligence Office. Perhaps Zhang Dashen considered the issue from the perspective of official affairs and hoped that there would be a high-ranking and high-level person in the Ming Dynasty who was highly powerful and qualified to preside over the intelligence. However, there were rumors that Xu Yian and the senior management of Po Nu City were standing in the wrong team on Lu Ruge's matter and were sent to the Ming Dynasty by Zhang Daming.

Moreover, there seemed to be another spy force that Zhang Dazheng had not known to him and Xu Yian. Even those who were engaged in spies could not see the source of Zhang Ping'an's news. This mysterious force made Qu Guozheng even more scared. Therefore, in order to consolidate his position in the Po Nu Army, Qu Guozheng had to be more cautious in dealing with people. Zhang Ping'an first reads military intelligence. When he saw the scout of the Po Nu Army tracking the Jurgent master 700 miles away from the Po Nu Army, Zhang Ping'an suddenly felt relaxed.

The more than 100,000 army of the Pou Nu Army besieged more than 20,000 pirates. Without the harassment of the external Jurchen army, the enemy should be completely wiped out within three days. When scouts from all departments did not find the enemy's traces within a radius of 150 miles, Zhang Ping'an had the leisure to watch other spies. When Zhang Ping'an picked up the first urgent report from the Ming Dynasty capital, Emperor Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty was about to send Sun Chengzong to the Pou Nu City for the imperial envoy. After reading it, Zhang Ping'an couldn't help but sigh.

"Our emperor is quite thoughtful. The old fox Sun Chengzong finally woke up. They had never believed that our Ponu Army would fight the Jurchen Nurhaci in a decisive battle. Now they have come to the sense of consciousness. The old fox came to Ponu City, one was to explore the truth and the other was to respond to the conditions I might have put forward in time. This old fox came to Ponu City, which would have an extremely adverse impact on our army's plan to attack Guangning."

Qu Guozheng heard Zhang Ping'an's concerns, but he could not control the decision on this matter, so Qu Guozheng asked: "How should we deal with this matter? Can the Mongols find something at the border of Daming?"

Regarding Qu Guozheng's suggestion, Zhang Ping'an waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Not right! Inappropriate! It's not time for us to let the Mongols come out to bite people. In this way, the Intelligence Department made false news, saying that Huang Taiji was likely to send troops to retaliate against us. First, push Lu Xiangsheng to the front line, so Lu Jiandou had something to do. You will discuss with Gu Xin and report to the court in the name of Po Nu Bo. It means that the front line is tense, and the enemy chief Nurhaci gave the head and counterattacked fiercely to my Po Nu Army. The front line war was therefore in a stalemate. Generally, before sending the imperial envoy to the Ming Dynasty, he would send me a message first. Tell Wang Qinghe and ask him to pay attention to one word when writing a message to the court: drag it out! Then write a private message to Sun Chengzong in my tone, and send the beauty I chose in the spring!"

After hearing this, Qu Guozheng secretly praised: Boss Zhang was indeed very cunning. He was afraid that Lu Xiangsheng would report the situation of the war to the Ming Dynasty in advance, so he had no time to take care of Lu Xiangsheng to the front line. He then threw out Sun Chengzong's bewilderment of the old fox and had to take down Guangning before reporting the truth to the Ming court. In this way, even if the court guessed that Zhang Dazhi was envoyed, he could only bite the bullet and follow Zhang Dazhi's plan. Qu Guozheng's opinion, Zhang Ping'an only looked at the topic of other spies and put it aside, looked at the map attentively and stood up to say goodbye immediately. Zhang Ping'an's behavior showed that he would handle the next battle.

Zhang Ping'an did not look back when he said goodbye to Qu Guozheng. He stared at the map and nodded as a gift. As soon as Qu Guozheng walked to the door of the commander's tent, he met Gu Xin who was rushing to come. Gu Xin took the manuscript and just nodded to Qu Guozheng, which was a big greeting. He walked to Zhang Ping'an and handed the manuscript to Zhang Laodao: "You can see if the battle arrangements made by the General Staff Department are OK!"

Zhang Ping'an took the document and looked slowly. After Gu Xin handed over the document to the General Staff's battle arrangement, he walked to the map to start the work on the map. After reading it, Zhang Ping'an looked at the map marked by Gu Xin. The intention of the General Staff was clearly visible under the black arrow marking of the map.

"The arrangement of the General Staff is generally good, but I need to change it a little bit."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ping'an stood up and walked to the map. He picked up the instruction stick placed on the left side of the map rack and clicked on the two black arrows on the map.

"It's good for the General Staff to put Hu Ming's troops on the right wing, and Zhang Tong's troops were placed behind Hu Ming's troops to follow him. First of all, the area blocked by our right wing was large, and the Japanese pirates and the Frankish people would have no chance to escape. Similarly, the Silver Wolf Camp of the Huang Zhi team and the Li Qingshui team of the left wing blocked the enemy's way to escape east. In the rear of the enemy, Liu Chong's troops pressed forward step by step with the cooperation of the Yan and Heavy Infantry. Another point is that Zhao Guangming's chariot battalion must be divided into two, and one will arrive at the preset battlefield tonight tonight. We must fully imagine the worst case. Our chariots are not moving quickly, so don't wait for the chariots at that time to delay the main business."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ping'an suddenly remembered the enemy artillery team, and he asked: "How many times did you see the Frankie artillery artillery last?"

"It's similar to the Jurchen artillery. After six shots, they didn't fire again. It seems that they were going to cool down the cannons. As long as a cavalry was sent to rush up at this time, the enemy artillery team could basically be solved." Gu Xin was full of confidence in the staff's records. In Gu Xin's view, as long as a unit was sent to entangle the Frankish army formation, the Frankish artillery team, which was isolated from the sixty feet outside the military formation, would be a soft persimmon.

"Okay! Just fight according to the tactics you said. Don't make any military discussions. The General Staff directly issued an order. Leave the errands to Hao Yidao. Hao Yidao is by my side and has not made much military achievements. I, as the boss, am a little disgusted. I have no real military achievements. Hao Yidao wants to go up and gossip, and others will gossip."
