Chapter 855: The decisive battle on the grassland
After the artillery team of the Pou Nu Army in the south of the Eserge grassland battlefield began to show their power, the Pou Nu Army that first attacked the Mongolian outer camp was not the Ludeyin chariot, but the scouts of several thousand people from the Huben Camp. After they had investigated the military situation of the Mongolian military camp at close range, they immediately reported it to the deputy commander Chen Zheng. Similarly, the scouts of the Eagle Battalion in the north also discovered the same military situation after the first round of artillery shooting of the Yang Meimei's artillery team. The Mongolians used tents as cover to dig a large number of traps. The soil dug out of these traps was piled behind the traps in the tent, which made it impossible for the coach Zhang to see that the soil was transported out of the Mongolian camp for so many days.
The explosion of artillery and crossbow cannons on the battlefield did not stop. The cavalry that was traveling to convey military information came from time to time to send military newspapers to the command platform where General Zhang was. Zhang Ping'an glanced at the similar military newspapers of various units and then looked at Mount Esrege. The black armor of thousands of cavalrymen in the Psrege Guard Battalion was covered with the top of the mountain. The Mongols on the mountain were being driven down the hillside. He could see the guards using swords and whips to urge the Mongols to disappear in this strategic location as soon as possible. Zhang Ping'an was very satisfied with the deputy commander of the Psrege Guard Battalion, Hao Yidao, who could understand his intention to garrison the next step. Regardless of whether Hao Yidao was a good general, at least for so many years, Hao Yidao could predict that Zhang Ping'an would use Mount Esrege as the command center.
Observing the battlefield situation in Esrege Mountain is much better than the command platform, and the personal guards who convey military information do not need to climb up and down the command platform one after another. Zhang Dashuai and Gu Xin, who were eager to grasp the situation on the battlefield, went down the command tower one after another, and hurried to Esrege Mountain under the escort of Qian Mingrong, a thousand cavalry officers of the personal guards. They rode horses to the foot of Esrege Mountain and saw his old opponent Lin Danhan at a glance. The Mongolian Khan, who was kneeling on the ground, was tied up by three strong combat soldiers, was wearing a silk robe with a bright Mongolian uniform. He was afraid that his face would be slackened and his face would twitch. Although the Mongolian bun was a little scattered, the traces of neat repairs could be seen. Zhang Ping'an knew that Lin Danhan was only in his forties, but his white hair and frosted beard made Lin Danhan look over sixty years old.
If the battle of the Pou Nu Army was going smoothly, Zhang Ping'an might still be in the mood to tease this old opponent, but now Zhang Ping'an is not at the time to be arrogant. Zhang Ping'an, who was riding a high horse, looked at Lin Danhan coldly, raised his whip with his right hand and pointed at Lin Danhan who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Don't treat Lin Danhan well, don't treat him slowly. My Pou Nu Army has a good tradition of preferential treatment of prisoners. After a few Japanese coaches, then talk to Lin Danhan about his grievances and hatreds over the years! Ha... Ha... Ha!"
As soon as Zhang Dashui finished speaking, Qian Mingrong, the chief of the personal guard camp who was following him, was stunned. He really couldn't understand the true intention of Zhang Dashui's words. The slave army did not have the fine tradition of preferential treatment of foreign prisoners. Zhang Dashui had even killed the head of the enemy Jurchen Khan King Nurhaci. Qian Mingrong couldn't tell whether Zhang Dashui was saying anything. He asked the Chief of Staff Gu Xin next to Zhang Dashui for help. When Zhang Dashui grabbed the horse's belly and continued to move forward, Qian Mingrong grabbed the reins of the war horse under Gu Xin's crotch and asked in a low voice: "Captain Gu, what does Zhang Dashui mean?"
"You are so stupid to get your family! Mr. Zhang is going to treat Lin Danhan well these days. The front line is still fighting. Maybe this Mongolian Khan will come in handy!" Gu Xin is worthy of being the worm in Mr. Zhang's belly. He touched Zhang Ping'an's mind very thoroughly. According to Zhang Ping'an's ruthless personality, Lin Danhan will not live long. Maybe Zhang Ping'an will use Lin Danhan's head to seek credit from the Ming court. Although the Ming court cannot provide a decent reward, at least the Slave Army has a good bargaining chip in opening the court.
After explaining to Qian Mingrong, Gu Xinyi slapped the horse belly and waved the whip to chase Zhang Dashui. Qian Mingrong immediately assigned his subordinates to send Lin Danhan to the guard camp for good life, and he wanted to protect Zhang Dashui's safety. Zhang Ping'an led the team to Esrege Mountain. The entire yurt on the top of the mountain was demolished by the Posou Army's personal guard camp, and there were guard soldiers standing on duty in every corner of the mountain. Fortunately, Esrege Mountain's personal guard camp was also very familiar with those places, and the guards were not easy to dig. The guards were cleared very well. At the commanding heights of Esrege Mountain, the guards brought several horse cards and two high-power telescopes. The staff of the staff also built a battlefield sand table on the south side of Zhang Ping'an's command position with the cooperation of the soldiers of the personal guard camp.
Sitting in the horse's note, Zhang Dashuai, who felt uncomfortable, asked someone to bring a Taishi chair and a tea table for snacks. A copper teapot was steaming on a hot carbon stove. Qian Mingrong made a cup of new green tea for Zhang Dashuai's tea bowl. Zhang Ping'an picked up the tea bowl and watched the movements at the foot of the mountain. At this moment, Zhang Li, the leader of the right wing legion, sent a messenger to send the latest battle plan. Zhang Ping'an lay halfway in the Taishi chair and looked roughly and handed it to Gu Xin beside him, saying: "Zhang Li's hob meat will indeed adapt to the situation. Seeing the chariots break through the difficulties and switch to infantry and musket army formations to fight, let them give it a try!"
While carefully looking at the military information reported by Zhang Li, Gu Xin took out the order paper from his arms and wrote down the oral military order of Marshal Zhang and handed it to Zhang Li's commander and said, "Let you President Zhang implement it as soon as possible! Tell him that Marshal Zhang is waiting for his victory in Erskeg Mountain!"
At this time, Chen Zheng, the chief general of the left-wing attack group, also sent a message. His Huben camp will use the firearms formation to take turns to break through the Mongolian defense line. Zhang Ping'an saw Chen Zheng's military newspaper, and just nodded to Gu Xin to show that he recognized the offensive tactics of Deputy Commander Chen Zheng. Along with the extended artillery shooting of the two major artillery teams of the Po Slave Army, the two wing attacking corpses abandoned the strategy formulated by the General Staff and used a more suitable firearms formation to break the Mongolian defense line. "Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong
The large horizontal formations arranged by Huang Wei's musket army formation are three miles long, and three large horizontal formations that are fifty feet apart are pressing forward rhythmically. As usual, there are two to three sharpshooters teams in front of each small formation are responsible for clearing off the remaining enemies. The chaotic sound of muskets indicates that the front-line sharpshooters shoot scattered enemy troops. There are about thirty people in each small formation holding spears to deal with possible close-fitting battles. These spearmen have muskets behind their backs, and they can transform from spearmen back to musket soldiers at any time. Behind Huang Wei's military formation are the Hu Ben Camp cavalry, and Chen Zheng's Hu Ben Camp cavalry formed an impact army formation according to the attack arrow formation of a thousand-person cavalry. To open a passage for Fu Ruige, Chen Zheng transferred the Ghost Sword Team in the Lude Silver Battle Elephant Camp to the rear of the Hu Ben Camp cavalry.
The heavy armored infantry ghost sword team of the Po Slave Army is still a cavalry when they march. They will only dismount before taking over the enemy's battle. The advantage of this is that they can save the physical strength of the soldiers of the Ghost Slave Team and can also keep up with the pace of the attacking army and quickly enter the battle. It seems that Chen Zheng regards the Tianxiong Camp led by Xiao Luo Tian as the reserve team of the entire legion. The Tianxiong Camp where Luo Tian is located is located behind the left wing legion. After seeing the entire offensive formation of the left wing legion, Zhang Ping'an turned his gaze to the right wing of the army. As the main general of the right wing legion, Zhang Li's formation was very different from Chen Zheng. Zhao Guangming's chariots, like the Ludeyin tribe in the south, did not continue to attack. Except for the five scout posts, all the Eagle Camp was mixed with Zhao Guangming's Ghost Slave Team. Zhang Li canceled the spearmen in the musket army formation in the unit, and all the musket soldiers were incorporated into the ghost sword team.
The Ghost Sword Team formation in front of the right wing legion was very large. The seven-month formation of more than 1,300 people broke into the enemy camp as shown in the picture. The engineers carried earth bags on their backs to fill the trap pit dug by the Mongols so that the crossbows and chariots could continue to advance. Judging from the arrangement of Yang Meimei's artillery team, Zhang Li, the leader of the right wing legion, abandoned the chariots as the main attack vanguard, and he wanted to use mobile crossbows to provide continuous fire support to the entire right wing legion. Hu Ming, as the main force of the interspersed, formed three assault cavalry formations, and the black arrow-shaped attacking army formation was very beautiful. Liu Chong's army was also a cavalry formation, with more than ten thousand-person cavalry arrow formations guarding the back of the entire right wing legion.
After seeing the right-wing military formation led by Zhang Li, Zhang Ping'an frowned. He said to Gu Xin beside him: "Is Zhang Li so confident in this hob? Can his formation break through the Mongolian defense line in one go?"
Facing Mr. Zhang's continuous questions, Gu Xin, chief of staff who used a high-power telescope to observe the formation, replied confidently: "I think Zhang Li's formation is stronger than Deputy Manager Chen's formation! There are two hobs there! I guess Hu Ming will penetrate northward and then fight back to the enemy side."
"Oh?... Well, you little guy has a good eye. Hu Ming will definitely do this like this! Alas, Chen Zheng's tactics are a bit out of date, more steady and less enterprising."
"Mr. Zheng, your conclusion is a bit arbitrary. How can you judge the quality of these two attacking military formations before you get into the battle? Besides, Deputy General Chen has strong potential in the military formation and strong ability to continue attacking. If you fight a protracted battle, Deputy General Chen will be more confident!"
"Hey! You are so excited, right? Hey hey! You said something very reasonable. Let's take a look first!"
