Chapter 57 Flying through the sand and breaking the Tartars (1)
Zhang Ping'an sat on a handsome chair and said to a group of old brothers: "No hurry! Yi'an first talk about what's going on!"
Xu Yian stood up and said, "Master! The Tartars on both sides have moved! According to your earlier order, I will notify all the commanders! But the commander and the commander Zhang Tong will not be able to come for the time being. Huang Zhi and Huang Wei will arrive later!"
Zhang Ping'an nodded and said to Rudeyin: "Do Yin go and tell the personal soldiers, the old rules!"
As soon as Ru Deyin went out, Zhang Ping'an said: "We won't wait for them for now. After Deyin comes in, we will talk about the transfer of materials first! I will talk about combat deployment when they arrive!"
When Zhang Ping'an saw Ru Deyin enter the door, he pointed to the chair beside him. Then he said, "Yi'an and Long Xiucai will talk first!"
Xu Yian made a gesture of inviting Long Tao. Long Tao was not polite and stood up and said, "Master! The transportation of supplies has basically emptied Guangning during this period. Today is the last day for the transfer of miscellaneous items. According to the requirements of the Magistrate, Guangning has piled up firewood in North City and West City. Just wait for your order to burn the city! Ninety percent of the food arrives at Ponu City. Other weapons, cloth, tea, salt, cotton, silk, iron and copper materials, gold and silver and other supplies also arrive at Ponu City! All the military families have arrived at Ponu City, and three thousand other people are unwilling to leave, and arranged to Yizhou. Others have arrived at Taiping Castle. It is estimated that if there are ten days and half a month more, there will be no problem!"
Zhang Ping'an looked at Xu Yian again, and Xu Yian stood up and said, "Mr. Long is right, but this time the transfer personnel suffered heavy losses in supplies and animals. There were three thousand horses, two thousand oxen were exhausted. There were five thousand civilians who were frostbite! More than a thousand people died on the road! However, no one died in the military family."
At this time, Huang Zhi and Huang Wei ran in panting. Zhang Ping'an stood up and said, "You are really a coincidence! You are about to talk about your affairs, and you are here! Have a little milk tea first. After resting, you will talk!"
Zhang Ping'an said to everyone: "All people are here, I have started to arrange them! The current situation is much better than I expected, so I am very sure this time. According to the Jurchen Tatars' journey, their army arrived in Guangning, and it was after noon tomorrow. Everyone looked at the sand table, and I arranged it like this!"
Zhang Ping'an bypassed the Shuai Case and walked to the sand table: "I understand the old slave's tactics! If they see that we have a strict defense, they will definitely go to Yizhou and have a big interlude! But in this direction, Huang Wei's army will fight their interlude troops, which is enough! Huang Wei! How did you arrange the place I chose?"
Huang Wei stood up and said, "Master! You don't know your personal soldiers yet, no problem! Besides, according to your arrangement, if the Tartars die less, we will lose to death!"
Zhang Ping'an nodded and reminded: "You can't be careless! You are not the main force who penetrated, but you should also treat them as the main force to fight! And your army has basically given all the veterans to Huang Zhi. You must be calm as the commander!"
Huang Wei said in a solemn voice: "Yes! Grand Marshal!"
Zhang Ping'an asked Huang Zhi: "When will your troops be in place?"
"Tonight, I will arrive at the Qing Fortress!"
Zhang Ping'an said: "Your burden is not light! This time your troops are the main force, with more than 4,800 musket soldiers. You have to hold back and don't open fire before the Tartars arrived!"
Huang Zhi smiled confidently and said, "Master! Our army is full of veterans this time, and he killed fifteen during training! Unless they want to die."
Zhang Ping'an smiled with satisfaction at this time: "Okay, okay! It depends on your performance!"
Zhang Ping'an said to Zhang Li: "If you go back, let the veterans of Li Chen's army return to Jian! When you see Guangning rising tomorrow, you will reach your position. If you have been there twice, I don't have to send troops to guide you again!"
Zhang Li also smiled and said, "Unless the eagle is blind, no problem, the general!"
Zhang Ping'an said to Hu Ming again: "Your division has not been established for a long time! Be careful when evacuating, mainly because you are afraid of falling behind! This is how your division will change defense tonight! Go to the Qing Fort! Tomorrow, your division and Zhang Li division will cooperate to protect the left wing of the formation on the east side of the position!"
Hu Ming received the order: "Yes! Grand Marshal!"
Zhang Ping'an said to Xu Zhen: "I expect that Liu Chong will return to Qianmaling Post tonight according to my arrangement. You will retreat to the west of Guangning three miles away from the city in the morning tomorrow morning to monitor the Tartars! Seeing that Guangning is on fire, your troops will go to the west of Li Chen's troops and cooperate with Li Chen's troops to operate. Liu Chong's troops will join the central army! Orders will be issued to Liu Chong!"
Xu Zhen received the order: "Yes! Grand Marshal!"
Zhang Ping'an then said to Chen Poe: "For all troops, your troops are under the greatest pressure! There must be no one behind. The troops who set fire must be led by Yian! After your troops leave the city, join the central army! I will wait for you in the north, remember! Remember!"
Chen Poe received the order: "Don't worry! The handsome man!"
Finally, Zhang Ping'an looked at Li Chen with a serious expression: "The success or failure tomorrow depends on you! If there are so many things, I won't say it! Your army has been preparing for this battle for so long. Whether it can avenge the shame depends on tomorrow's battle!"
Li Chen resolutely promised: "Don't worry! Tomorrow will definitely be the day when our troops avenge their shame!"
Zhang Ping'an shouted: "Chen Pang's troops would have awarded the battalion number. But the war is urgent. I decided to vigorously commend the meritorious troops after the war tomorrow! See if you have any additional supplements?"
When Zhang Ping'an saw that everyone showed their firm eyes and did not speak, he shouted: "Okay! Deyin! Take three hundred personal soldiers to the position! Yi'an, in Deyin's position, build my central army command platform! Others act according to the combat plan! Do you understand?"
Everyone stood up and took the order: "Yes! Grand Marshal!"
....................................................
Early that morning, Nurhaci was worriedly seeing that the Ponu Army opposite, six or seven thousand cavalrymen alternately covering each other and retreating slowly towards Guangning. He couldn't help but nodded, and sincerely praised the military discipline of the Ponu Army. He immediately thought that this battle seemed not easy to fight.
When the Pou Nu Army cavalry retreated to the three miles away from Guangning, they all immediately divided into two arrays. Nurhaci was a little confused at this time, and if he wanted to say that the array should also be arranged outside the Xicheng Gate. Why was it located outside the corner of the northwest wall far from the city gate? So he said to the white-armored soldiers beside him: "Go! Call the four Beile!"
Huang Taiji quickly rushed from his army and yelled at Nurhaequ: "Khan! I don't think something is right!"
Nurhaci nodded in admiration and said, "Yes! I think so too! Tell me, what are they going to do?"
Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "I can't figure it out yet. However, I don't think it's going to fight us! Da Khan, there are no military flags on the top of Guangning city! There are only a few soldiers. Do they still want to let us be fooled like last time! It's not right! Zhang Ping'an is a very smart person and will not do such useless things. His battlefield cover is excellent! Our scouts cannot get close to you at all! Da Khan! Let's just use calmness to control our movements and take a look."
Nurhaci nodded and said, "You are by my side first. Then leave when the war begins! You are right, let's see what tricks he wants to play!"
Soon they knew what the Po Nu Army was going to do. A shrill horn echoed over Guangning. Soon a few sticks of black smoke rushed towards the blue sky, and soon the smoke pillar was bent by the strong northwest wind. Soon, the smoke pillar was getting bigger and bigger, and several smoke pillars quickly synthesized into a stream, like black clouds covering the entire Guangning City.
When the second horn sounded, the scouts that covered the battlefield began to return to the military formation. Nurhaci and Huang Taiji understood that the Po Nu Army was burning the city. However, before they understood the next move of the Po Nu Army, they still did not dare to move, and even the scouts were sent to the city. The last time Zhang Ping'an arranged a trap for them gave him too profound lessons. This time, they were very afraid that Zhang Ping'an would do something conspiracy and tricks. So they could only wait and see.
About half an hour later, the third horn sounded. Nurhaci saw two teams of cavalry in the northwest corner of the city. After hearing the horn, he quickly turned his horse's head and retreated to the north like a tide. Only then did he order the scouts to follow the Possess Army and enter the city to investigate.
The scouts who entered the city to investigate came to report, and the whole city of Guangning was inflamed and the troops could not gain a foothold. It was estimated that there was no troops in Guangning City. Half an hour later, the scouts who followed the scouts who were exploring the line, and the Ponu Army was stationed in the wild fifteen miles north of Guangning City! At this time, the Inlaid Blue Flag Bele Amin sent people to report, and the Ponu Army who was confronting them in the east of the city had retreated north.
Not long after Nurhaci brought his troops to Guangning, the Inlaid Blue Banner Bele Amin also brought more than 30,000 Ming troops from the headquarters and Li Yongfang to the battlefield.
Looking at the neat military formation of the Posou Army from afar, Nurhaci looked at Huang Taiji worriedly and asked: "Does Zhang Ping'an want to fight with us?"
Huang Taiji's face was not very good either, he nodded and said, "It seems that's the case!"
After hearing this, Nurhaci thought for a moment and issued an order: "I ordered the Blue Flag Bele Amin to take the troops of our troops, add three thousand Mongolian Korqin cavalry to go straight to the west side of the Ponu Army from Yizhou Post. The other units followed me to pursue Zhang Ping'an's Ponu Army!"
The messenger quickly passed Nurhaci's orders to the Inlaid Blue Flag Army. He had little skill, and the 6,000 cavalry and 3,000 Korchin cavalry of the Inlaid Blue Flag began to advance along the road to Yizhou.
