Chapter 638: A Thousand Miles Battlefield, Thousand Miles of Blood, Red Sea Drift (4)

The Mongolian Khan King Borjiha came to the top of Baiyan Rock Mountain in the south of the "Sweet Water Puddle", looking at the fortifications of the Pou Nu Army in the north. The campfires of the Pou Nu Army made him unable to see the overall situation of his opponent. Fortunately, the Pou Nu Army adopted a defensive stance, and he could calmly dispatch the Mongolian army to defeat the Pou Nu Army on the opposite Pou Nu Army. Borjiha was very clear that he did not leave much time. Once he could not take down this water source within seven days, even if he wanted to escape, he would suffer major losses. In Borjiha's view, Zhang Ping'an, the grassland jackal wolf, was indeed cunning and secretly sent a large army to cut off their water source.

From this, Borjiha speculated that the jackal wolf Zhang Ping'an had already calculated more than a month ago. After the defeat, he had the idea of ​​retreating to Hang Aishan. The grassland jackal was indeed very evil in military arrangements, and he hit his weakness with one edict. In Borjiha's view, even the generals of the Slave Army opposite were very cunning and did not light a campfire to let the opponent see their situation clearly. Borjiha believed that the army had been rushing for several days in a row and should have a good rest. After observing the Slave Army camp tomorrow, it would make a final decision.

The Mongolian Borjiha Khan placed 30,000 main troops in Mongolia in three directions, east, north and west. They camped three miles away from the Ponu Army's camp, considering that it is safer to set up camp outside the range of the Ponu Army's crossbow guns. Just when everyone was busy camping, Borjiha specially arranged for the scouts to go to the northwest to investigate. He just wanted to see why there were so many vultures in the sky in the sky, and whether it was the Ponu Army's ambush there. About an hour later, the scout came to report that a large number of camels were found in the viscera and corpses. Although they were eaten by vultures, there were about 7,000 killed camels there.

After hearing this, Borjiha thought to himself that the Pou Nu Army seemed to be planning to fight back. He attracted his confidant Aorgrad and asked him to preside over the arrangement of the Mongolian camp in the north. Since Aorgrad defeated Juyanhai, he almost fled back to the Harisala Black Valley alone, losing nearly 60% of the Mongolian army's food. But Borjiha still did not blame him too much. The 20,000 troops in Aorgrad fought against the Pou Nu Army with an almost identical number, and there was almost no chance of winning. There were not many confidants around him who could lead troops, and of course, the Ou Ge Wan Hu was his capital to save his life in the future.

Borjiha still attaches great importance to the dead camel corpses abandoned by the Pokémon Army. After all, the Mongolians cannot do without meat when eating. Although the camel meat is a bit rougher than mutton, it is still a meat that can be swallowed. He ordered Wanhumantagri (Mongolian: small round face. Now it must be a unique pan face of the Mongolians.) to drag the camel corpses back so that the Mongolian army can replenish their strength, and also give some to the Uygur people. After all, if they try their best in war, they must replenish their strength.

After receiving the order from Borjihakhan, Mantagri personally brought more than 6,000 people to the northwest to transport camel meat, leaving behind a test-winning Wuleji (Mongolian: Qianqiu Xiangrui is very good) to maintain the camp. The Mongolian rushed to the place where the Pou Nu Army abandoned camels overnight and was seen by Fei Jin. At this moment, he was in a complicated mood. The Mongolian cavalry used to thorns to form several curved fire dragons in the dark, indicating that many Mongolians went to that place to pick up camel corpses. As an old scout, Fei Jin roughly judged from the slow movement of the fire dragon that the horses must be the Mongols, and the slow movement must be the Uygurs without horses.

In order to remedy his mistakes, Fei Jin also had to find a way to find out the depth of the enemy. He found his old subordinates Wei Zhen and Zhu Jihu, and prepared to attack the enemy's camp at night. It was easy to talk to the people who knew the knowledgeable. The officers of the Pou Nu Army were able to get on the throne with their military achievements. For these veterans on the battlefield, everyone knew the tactics of the night attack and the matters that needed to be paid attention to. Fei Jin only needed to explain the time and direction of the attack, and the remaining two of them could discuss it.

In fact, Fei Jin also knew that when facing enemies that are dozens of times more than him, don’t expect to kill all the enemies in a night attack. Marshal Zhang often warned everyone that you can just be happy to hear the story and talk about the classics, and never take the Romance seriously. People will die on the battlefield, especially those who are your own. Therefore, you must think of difficulties when making decisions for the generals. Therefore, Fei Jin gave the bottom line for the night attack, that is, no matter how smooth the war is, you cannot attack more than six miles. You must retreat when you hear the sound of the gongs that withdraw the troops.

The target of the attack was determined to be in the camp west of the enemy, with Wei Zhen attacking Zhu Jihu's flanks covering the flanks. Zhu Jihu's post troops were mainly guarding against the Mongolian army in the north. The retreat route was south of the Ponu Army camp. In this way, the crossbows of He Yushu's artillery team could set up crossbows on the outer defense line of the blacksmith to provide firepower support to the retreating troops. Fei Jin calculated the weather and there was a thin cloud in the sky at night. The west wind was not small tonight, and the thin clouds dissipated around midnight. There was no moonlight tonight, which was the best time to take advantage of the starlight to fight night.

Under the coordination of the General Secretary of the Pou Nu Army, several thousand general officers completed the arrangement of night battles against the enemy. At the second hour of the Hai Dynasty, Fei Jin led them to observe the enemy camp again. At this time, hundreds of thousands of Uygur people and 30,000 Mongolian troops had completely surrounded the Pou Nu Army. With the "Sweet Pud" Pou Nu Army camp as the center, countless bonfires within dozens of miles were caused by the extreme sight, illuminating the night sky where you can't see your fingers red. Except for the few rangers and patrol cavalry outside the Pou Nu Army camp, the Uygur people and the Mongols were roasting fires in front of the fire to keep warm.

Facing the enemy camp's light, none of the Thousand General officers of the Pou Nu Army showed concern. The Pou Nu Army has been here for quite some time and is very familiar with the surrounding terrain and scenery. The Mongols and Uighurs would bring food and drinking water, and would never bring wood for cooking. There are some wild drought-tolerant plants such as saxal trees and sand willows on the Gobi Desert. Many of them were cut down by the Pou Nu Army earlier. According to the waste method of the Mongols and Uighurs, they would have to dig the tree roots to make fire tomorrow. The firewood that the Pou Nu Army had cut down earlier was buried with sand and soil, because they were afraid that the enemy would adopt a fire attack strategy.

The Ponu Army was quietly preparing for the pre-war. The Mongols and the Uygur people seemed extremely tired because of the continuous journey. After eating supper randomly, they fell asleep early. As Fei Jin, the co-superior of the Ponu Army, expected, the wind had completely driven away the dark clouds before the night was midnight, and the dazzling Milky Way was particularly enchanting in the night sky. The Ponu Army scouts came out an hour ago, and laid six three-foot iron nails as thick as the arms of the baby in the trench south to fix the ropes, and lay a soft bridge with 1 zhang wide woven rattan on the thick ropes.

Similarly, there is a same soft bridge on the south side. The soft bridge on the south side is used for night attacks and retreats. Fei Jin's old foundation is the scouts of the Pound Army, so they pay great attention to preparations before the night battle before attacking. The Pound Army's armor is black and is very conducive to night battle disguise. They still use thin wire ropes to fix the moving arm armor and leg armor. The Pound Army's sword uses a hard plug-in type to fix it on the waist, and the only thing that can make a sound is the musket they carry. To this end, the attacking troops loaded the muskets with ammunition, covered the cotton jacket to reduce the sound of friction, and the leather boots and jackets and rattans are added to the grass.

In order to facilitate the identification of their brothers in the dark to avoid accidental injuries, each soldier of the Pou Nu Army who went to fight had a white cloth hanging on the back of the back. It took about half an hour for the soldiers of the Pou Nu Army to go out of the camp, and more than 2,000 musket soldiers quietly walked out of the camp. The first person to leave the camp was Zhu Jihu, the sentry of the Qianma General Zhu. For every 100-man team, they lined up three rows of musket formations from east to west. Each formation was fifteen meters apart, and there were a total of nine musket formations. However, the last musket formation was slightly tilted from east to southwest to protect the flanks of the musket formation.

Two other military formations were arranged at fifty feet south, on the one hand to guard against the enemy in the south, and on the other hand to serve as a reserve for the main military formation. Qian Zong Zhu Jihu led two hundred-man teams to form a small round formation in the southwest to support his own musket army formation and the back of Wei Zhen's army that was covering the attack. Just as Zhu Jihu's army was carefully arranged, the main attacking force Wei Zhen's army came out a long snake formation and quickly rushed westward to attack the enemy camp. The Mongolians and Uygur people's camp said it was a camp but did not have the fences and trenches that the camp should have.

Perhaps it was too tired to travel continuously, or perhaps it was because they heard from the Mongolian scouts that there were only a few thousand people in the Possess army, and this number of troops would not pose a threat to them at all. For this reason, the Uygur people and the Mongolian patrol all relaxed their vigilance. The Mongolian outer wards were basically a Mongolian with more than ten Uygur strong men, who were burning fires to keep warm by the lit bonfires. No one patrolled back and forth because each bonfire was only eighteen feet apart. As long as anyone found an abnormality, it would trigger the entire ward detection line to be alert.

People have a herd mentality. The Mongolians led the team thought that the Gaoweiwuer people were just right, so they handed over the warning matter to the Uighur people. The Uighur people are composed of different tribes, and their composition is extremely complicated. Due to long-distance travel through the desert, everyone's attention is on life. It took more than a year for the Mongolians to completely integrate. Now it can be said that the Uighur people did not establish trust. After receiving the order from the Mongolians to warn them, they began to shirk responsibility.

Of course, the strongest among the Uygur people will push this kind of labour to the weak. The jungle law of the strong prey on the weak is withdrawn here. Although the weak Uygur people dare not refute it on the spot, they have their own way to deal with it. The weapons used by the Mongols for the Uygur people are all ragged goods, and the most iron-saving spear is their most common weapon, and most melee weapons such as fighting swords are old goods passed down from their family. Those Uygur people on duty are young and strong, and when everyone is asleep, they are wearing worn fur coats and gradually fall asleep on the cold Gobi... (To be continued)
