Chapter 671: A Thousand Miles of Battlefields, Thousands of Miles of Blood
When the Qing Dynasty's Inlaid White Banner Beile Dudu received more than 10,000 main cavalry of the Possess Army rushed towards him, he truly judged that the target of Zhang Ping'an's attack this time was actually his Inlaid White Banner. Dudu was quite self-aware and he was not an opponent when fighting with Zhang Ping'an. Since he was not an opponent, he had to find a place to escape quickly. Fortunately, the Inlaid White Banner was all cavalry in the Dushan Camp. Dudu left a thousand troops to guard the Dushan Camp and did not cut off the entire army. Another messenger sent a message to Dorgon to inform the Possess Army of the attack.
For Wu Tianxing, the commander of the Pou Slave Army, his ambitions have been quite complicated recently. Although he became the father-in-law of Zhang Shangde, the successor of the General of the General's Mansion, his military achievements may not be taken to the top. Wu Tianxing's greatest military achievements were obtained in the early days of the Pou Slave Army's formation. Although he also had a lot of military achievements later, the older brothers such as Zhang Li and Hu Ming were not a little worse. The Pou Slave Army led the generals to focus on military achievements, and whoever had more military achievements would have the greatest voice in the Pou Slave Army. Wu Tianxing believed that he had to learn from Hu Ming, and this Hu Ming could be said to be the smartest person among the Pou Slave Army's generals.
Although Hu Ming showed his meat to others all day long, Wu Tianxing knew that Hu Ming might be the most cunning among the old brothers of the Po Slave Army. Hu Ming once drank with his brother and said that the more he robbed military merit, the more he would be left by Zhang, so that Zhang would be at ease. There are many benefits to staying with Zhang, because Zhang is different from other commanders. Zhang likes to follow Zhang in wars and can achieve more military merits. Hu Ming also lamented that if Lu Deyin had not been obsessed with Zhou Wei, his achievements would have long been above you and me. Wu Tianxing agreed with this.
This time, Wu Tianxing encircled and annihilated the Dudu team of the Enanguan Baiqi. Wu Tianxing also sent scouts to explore the enemy's weaknesses from multiple parties. In fact, the garrison range of the Enanguan Baiqi Banner is not small. The two main camps were one on the Fleeing Junshan and the other on Dushan. These two camps were more than ten miles apart. Wu Tianxing attacked any of the Enanguan Baiqi camps and would startle the other. For this reason, Wu Tianxing chose the Enanguan Baiqi camp, which is that this camp is larger than Dushan. When Wu Tianxing's troops surrounded the Enanguan Baiqi camp, they caught several Enanguan Baiqi scouts, and he realized how much he was wrong. The main camp of the Zhengbai Banner Dudu was actually in the Dushan camp, which made Wu Tianxing regret it.
Therefore, when Wu Tianxing personally led 10,000 main forces of the Cheetah Battalion to the Dushan Xiangbai Banner, he only got a mess of flocks in the Yingbai Banner at the Dushan Mountain. In the attack strategy of Zhang Dashen, Dushan must be defended, and its strategic purpose was to provide a solid back for the next step of occupying Gouya Mountain. For this reason, Wu Tianxing left five thousand warriors here to defend the main road, and he returned to his troops to annihilate the Encounter Battalion at the foot of the Far Mountain. Thanks to the fact that the Beiledudu of the Encounter Battalion was completely unprepared, more than 10,000 defeated slave troops besieged the Eight Thousand Incounter Battalion Camp, Wu Tianxing believed that this was a great chance of victory. On the one hand, he ordered his soldiers to cut off the water source of the Encounter Battalion Camp, and on the other hand, the artillery team Yang Meimei sent artillery to support the Cheetah Battalion to attack.
In fact, Wu Tianxing was a little too cautious this time. The Qing Dynasty Inlaid White Banner has not been here for a long time. They all felt that the Pou Nu Army would not attack them. Du Du was not concerned about building the camp, so the several camps in the Enlaid White Banner were not strong. When the artillery leader Yang led the artillery team to the Fleeing Army Mountain, he almost laughed out loud when he saw the camp built by the Jurchens. He found Wu Tianxing, the commander of the Cheetah Battalion, and said, "Wu Du Tong, do you still need artillery in this broken camp? Today is the east wind. My artillery team used a crossbow to shoot high-gap* at the upper vent, and it can burn the enemy camp in less than 100 rounds. I won't get involved in this military merit, and I have to take care of the general! But Wu Du Tong, Gou Ya Mountain, you have to send someone to help me, otherwise my artillery will not be dragged up!"
Sister Yang's optimism infected Wu Tianxing. He arranged a thousand musket soldiers at the upper vent, mainly to provide cover for Sister Yang's artillery team. Wu Tianxing transferred his cheetah battalion artillery team to the southwest of Shanxi of the fugitive army, hoping to block the Zhengbai Banner cavalry who fled from the camp here. The trunk horses arranged by the Ponu Army had special equipment. This trunk horses were used to rob Lin Dankhan last time in Esrege Mountain, and thus became a regular equipment for the Ponu Army's war barracks.
As a veteran on the battlefield, Wu Tianxing is familiar with the common tricks of three and one. Although this battle method is clichéd, it is more practical. As the artillery leader Yang Meimei expected, when the artillery team of the Po Slave Army was smashed, a huge fire ball suddenly emerged from the Zhengbaiqi camp. This Yang Meimei is a master of artillery playing field. He said he didn't use artillery*, but he didn't pay much attention to it when he was fighting. Sister Yang first ordered the artillery team to use crossbows to fire high-slag*, ignited the walls outside the Zhengbaiqi camp, and then waited for the Jurchen soldiers to come to put out the fire.
When some of the soldiers of the Inlaid White Banner used sand and water to save the fire on the fence, two thousand archers were guarding against the Pou Nu Army to take advantage of the fire to rob. Since the Pou Nu Army had Zhang Ping'an, the shameless commander, the robbery was of course even more blatant. Since the opponent saw through the Pou Nu Army and wanted the overlord to take the bow, Yang Meimei responded with *. This time, the alert archers were blown away and the formation was dispersed. The Inlaid White Banner camp had many sharp defensive weapons. Seeing the Pou Nu Army shooting out, they immediately withdrew from the shield cart from the camp.
Sister Yang had long guessed that the Jurchens could not play any tricks. He ordered the artillery team to replace them with high-silt* again, waiting for the white-flag soldiers to push the wooden shield. Today, the east wind was blowing on the battlefield of the Flying Army Mountain. The artillery team of the Ponus Army occupied the upper hand, and the artillery team was also scattered. It was not that the Ponus Army would not shoot artillery anymore, but the fire was used to prevent fire. Of course, the more fire points the better. It seemed that the wind was not very big today, but as the fire ignited, the wind naturally became stronger. The heat waves and cold wind that soared into the sky in the cold winter were entangled, causing several manic turbulent flows in the Enneagram camp.
The originally small east wind, driven by the hot air flow, was gradually reducing the hope of extinguishing the fire as the wind increased. Meleezhen Selenbi (Juchen meaning: Funny), who was stationed here, really wanted to cry happily this time. Selenbi is also a veteran on the battlefield. How could he not see the tactics of the three missing one of the three missing ones in the slave army, but he saw that it was impossible to break it now. Selenbi could only act as a living horse and lead the remaining seven thousand cavalry to break west. He roughly guessed that the Slave Army would set up an ambush in the west, and Selenbi could only take one step at a time to break west.
The Meilezhen Selenbi of the Inlaid White Flag led the defeated generals to break through only three miles. On a flat ground sixty meters wide on the west side, I saw the Ponu cavalry surrounding them from both sides. The two Ponu cavalry were about 3,000 people, and they dismounted a hundred feet away and quickly arranged the musket formation. They forced the Ponu cavalry to break through the west side twenty meters after forcing the Ponu cavalry to fire almost at the same time. Perhaps because of the long distance of the Ponu cavalry, this shooting did not cause too much damage to the Inlaid White Flag cavalry. It was this time the musket shooting forced the Inlaid White Flag cavalry to break through the west.
The pursuing Pou Nu Army still did not get on horseback and pursued with cavalry. When the prey was about to fall into a trap, the hunters always seemed very patient. Selenbi had explored the terrain here and knew that there was a valley not far ahead. It seemed that the Pou Nu Army was planning to drive them into the depths of the valley to annihilate them. At this time, Selenbi was in a much better mood. He was secretly mocking for the Pou Nu Army not being careful in exploring the terrain. There was a path leading to the southwest in the middle of the valley. As long as the cavalry in the white flag could break through there, the Pou Nu Army would be in vain.
Just as Selenbi was secretly proud of her horse's back, a burst of people shouting and neighing in front of the Inlaid White Flag came from the front of the Inlaid White Flag. The Inlaid White Flag cavalry, who had some experience in the battlefield, instantly understood the ambush of the Ponu Army. Without hearing the sound of muskets, these veteran cavalry immediately judged that this was an obstacle trap set by the Ponu Army. They all wanted to stop the running war horses. Even if the Jurchens grew up on the horse's back, no matter how high the riding skills were, they would not be able to stop the war horses within a short distance.
In just one stick of incense, nearly 40% of the cavalry of the Inlaid White Flag who broke through the encirclement made a cake. Just as the cavalry of the Inlaid White Flag were still secretly exploring luck, a sharp whistling sound came from the sky on the west side, and arrows like black clouds rushed towards the lucky Inlaid White Flag cavalry. In the sharp arrow wind, there were mixed with the sound of muskets. These were the two scouts arranged by Wu Tianxing, the commander of the cheetah battalion of the Possess Army, and the sniper team composed of more than 100 musket gun archers in the Cheetah Battalion.
There are not many ambushing soldiers in the Cheetah Camp here, but it is a very good word. Wu Tianxing considers that although General Zhang did not give the order to capture more prisoners, the veterans of the Slave Army all know the military rules. The living Jurchen Tartars are more valuable than those who are dead. Since the Jurchen Tartars are all in their pockets, why do you need to die? Wu Tianxing made a very clear plan. The Jurchen warriors are all well-made armor, especially those white-armored cavalry, with three layers of armor. Arrows are not harmful to these warriors, but they can hurt their capital for escaping war horses. Kill all the mounts of the white-flag cavalry, and finally slowly clean up these military medals.
The Cheetah Battalion of Wu Tianxing's army was happily collecting military merits, while their commander Zhang Ping'an was staring at the commander-in-law outside the tent with worry. In the north, there is usually northwest wind or the north wind rarely blows eastward, but these days are very strange, and the east wind has been blowing continuously. Originally, Zhang Tong's army and Zhao Guangming's army were confronted by more than 100,000 enemy troops led by Dai Shan, and Zhang Ping'an originally planned to use "*" to disperse Dai Shan's army. At this critical moment, the sudden change of wind direction disrupted Zhang Ping'an's entire battle deployment. The weapon "*" is a double-edged sword. If the wind direction is unstable during launch, it will cause huge damage to the Slave Army itself. (To be continued)
