Chapter 856: The decisive battle on the grassland
Two hundred thousand Mongolian cavalry rushed towards the left and right wings of the Ponu Army's attack. The cavalry that rushed out of the north and south of the military camp in the rear of Mongolia did not assemble outside the tent as usual, but led the troops to attack the designated area of Arslen. The Mongolian cavalry's galloping ten thousand horses was shocking, and finally attracted the attention of Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Ponu Army. He used a high-power telescope to observe the enemy situation left and right. After a long time, he nodded away from the telescope. In Zhang Ping'an's view, Arslen, the military advisor who commanded the Mongolian army today, would definitely become his strong enemy in time. Judging from the direction of the Mongolian army's attack and the line of attack, Arslen accurately judged the main attack direction of the Ponu Army. Moreover, Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Ponu Army, believed that Arslen's approach to dispersed attacks and then gathered troops during the process of advancing.
The timing of Arslen's dispatch of a large army was also well grasped, which can be called the best tactic for the attack of the Slave Army. Zhang Ping'an, who looked up and observed the battlefield with his naked eyes, saw that the Mongolian cavalry easily avoided the tents buried with traps on the offensive road of nearly seven to eight miles. The layers of tents in the outer military camps of Mongolia did not cause too many obstacles to the Mongolian cavalry who charged with all their might. Although there were certain differences in the order of the attacks of Mongolian cavalry, they were almost carried out according to the ancient Mongolian wolf pack tactics. Zhang Ping'an himself had a lot of research on the wolf pack tactics, and he often used this tactic in previous battles.
As the Mongolian cavalry quickly approached the left and right wing formation of the Ponu Army, they shook their bodies left and right to control the direction of the war horses, and then took out the bow and arrow from the saddle bridge arrow bag, intending to cover the Ponu Army formation with arrows. At this time, the Ponu Army crossbow cannons were dragged and smoke into the Mongolian cavalry formation. At this time, the Mongolian cavalry focused on controlling the horse to avoid obstacles, and even if the Mongolian cavalry saw the * shot from hundreds of ponu Army crossbows falling from the sky. Zhang Ping'an saw the * shot from hundreds of ponu Army crossbows on the Esrege Mountain, just like the fleeting gorgeous flowers on the grassland, bringing blood. The broken pieces of people and horses rendered a large piece of bright red. The injured Mongolian cavalry survived and the seriously injured war horses twitched and the increasingly slow horse hooves.
The Bonnie Army's crossbow cannons have set a death zone on the attack of Mongolian cavalry. Any Mongolian cavalry who wanted to pass the blockade line would pay the price of death. The Mongolian cavalry that charged in the dense artillery fire of the Poundi Army rushed forward without regard for their own casualties. The shrapnel wrapped in flying mud caused a bloody storm to storm in the torrent cavalry formation. The orange-red light waves blew up the storm and made the war horses soar. People were like weak ants in the air and crushed them by explosions. Even so, the Mongolian cavalry did not stop charging, and new cavalry continued to join the ranks of attacking the Bonnie Army formation.
The persistence of Mongolian military advisor Arslen paid off when the Ponu Army's crossbow cannons reached its peak. After the continuous firing of sixteen to eighteen rounds, the Bownu Army's crossbow cannons needed to change the bowstrings. Taking advantage of the gap between the Ponu Army's crossbow cannons suspending the artillery, more Mongolian cavalry passed the tight seal like fast-swimming ants. At this moment, the artillery that had been silent in the Ponu Army's crossbow cannons appeared again. They used the explosion more violently, forming a new barrage again. The range of artillery* was far higher than that of the crossbow cannons. The Yang Wei artillery team and Yang Meimei artillery team artillery divided the attacking Mongolian cavalry into two sections almost at the same time.
Thousands of Mongolian cavalry attacked north and south each passed the death zone and rushed firmly towards the Ponu Army Army formation. The left-wing musket formation of the Ponu Army completed the battlefield transformation under the cover of artillery fire. The commander Huang Wei turned a wide horizontal formation into three inward half-moon formations. The Mongolian cavalry who escaped the attack of the Ponu Army, about 5,000 men and horses, had just raised their bows and arrows to prepare to shoot arrows, and they were immediately baptized by the storm of the Muskets of the Ponu Army. Once the war horse was hit by the lead bullet, it would form a large hole in its chest or horse's head, and blood mist poured the Mongolian cavalry. The war horses that fell to the ground often threw their owner forward several feet, and the Mongolian cavalry would also be torn apart by dense lead bullets on the way out of the horse's back.
The black and red colors gradually became the main colors on the wide plain, and the sky was filled with the smell of blood mixed with pungent smoke. More than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry fell in a pool of blood in less than half an hour of charge. Seeing his musket formation drowned in white smoke, Zhang Ping'an stood up and stretched, happily judging the gains and losses of the two musket formations in the north and south. Chief of Staff Gu Xin was right. The left-wing army formation of the Posou Army had a greater advantage. After all, the left-wing army formation was in the formation after Huang Wei changed the formation. Similarly, the ghost sword team in the north used shields to block the enemy's scattered arrows. Perhaps this formation had a better defense effect.
After the Mongolian cavalry suffered major casualties under the double blow of the Slave Army artillery and the musket army formation, Zhang Ping'an walked towards the sand table south of the command platform with some sage. He also criticized Gu Xin as he walked: "You little face, you still need to learn more from me as the chief of staff. What is the purpose of the General Staff? Of course, it is to facilitate the commander to judge the enemy situation at any time. This sand table should be placed in the west. I can compare the latest situation on the battlefield with the enemy and us as soon as I raise my eyes!"
Gu Xin just nodded silently to agree with Boss Zhang's challenge on the battlefield. After all, this is not a big deal, and the General Staff did not consider it well in this regard. Fortunately, when Zhang Ping'an arrived at the sand table, he immediately sat on the horse's note, looking at the latest war marks of the sand table, and looked at the sand table with a focus on his expression. Gu Xin knew that Boss Zhang liked to soak the sand table the most, and Zhang Ping'an didn't dare to disturb his thinking. After a long time, Zhang Ping'an's head was buried on the sand table and his right hand was stretched out. As a worm in Zhang Ping'an's belly, Gu Xin quickly realized what Zhang Ping'an needed. Gu Xin snatched a long teaching stick from the staff and stuffed it into Zhang Ping'an's hand.
"This battle has been fought for quite a while, I have to set up a trap for Alslen!"
After Zhang Ping'an said that, he pointed the back of Esrege Mountain with his teaching stick, then turned his head and looked at the west side of the Mongolian camp and said, "It's time to release our white wolf, and immediately transfer the main force of Huang Zhi's army to the east of Esrege Mountain to hide. Hey...he...hey! Your General Staff's order to transfer troops should be accurately written, and order the Huang Zhi's army to quickly from the rear camp and gather on the east side of Esrege Mountain."
Speaking of this, Zhang Ping'an paused for a moment, turned his head west again and looked: "I ordered Du Yehe's tribe to join the left-wing legion to the south, but I would like to emphasize to Chen Zheng that I transferred Du Yehe's past was a trick for the Mongols. Chen Zheng could not mobilize Du Yehe's tribe to participate in the battle of the left-wing legion. He also told Zhang Li that Gao Chenggong's tribe had nothing to do with his right-wing legion battle. I think Huang Wei's formation was good today, so he asked Du Liang's tribe to retreat half a mile to form a formation according to this."
Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Po Slave Army, temporarily changed his combat strategy on the battlefield, causing the Chief of Staff Gu Xin to frown. He asked in a low voice: "Master, is your tactic of luring the Mongols to attack our middle lane too obvious? The enemy generals with a little combat experience can see through it."
"Oh! I have said so many times that when a war is planned to plot against the enemy, not only in military terms, but also in the psychological personality of the enemy generals! Of course, a qualified warrior must also be political."
After saying that, Zhang Ping'an, who was sitting on the horse's note, shook his armor, put the whip at his feet and raised his right hand. The roundworm Gu Xin immediately ran to the tea table and took the tea bowl and took a few steps, lifted the copper pot on the carbon stove and added boiling water, and then held the tea bowl in both hands to hand it to Zhang Ping'an. How could Gu Xin miss this learning opportunity? Zhang Ping'an, who took the tea bowl with one hand, looked at Gu Xin with a strange look, leaving a smug smile on his face. Gu Xin had not forgotten to explain Zhang's latest orders, so he sat down on the horse's note and wrote the orders and handed them to his subordinates to convey to the designated combat camp.
After doing all this, Gu Xin looked at Zhang Dama Zhang with a longing look, and then Zhang Ping'an said, "The Mongolian military advisor Arslen on the opposite side is actually doing the same job as you Gu Xin, but from the way you command the battle today, he interfered with the responsibility of commanding Erke Kongguoer Ezhe. Humph! You and I have seen all of you. He is a person who is greedy for life and fears death! Such a person who lives only for himself is absolutely narrow-minded. Can he allow Arslen to seize military power in person? Gu Xin, you are by my side and you know the advice of respecting the commander, but Arslen does not have the awareness of your own position. Look!..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Ping'an continued to face the battlefield: "Arslen has calculated the direction and line of our army's attack. Is his counterattack effective? Elkkongguoer Ezhe must attack Eshe Mountain head-on, so that he can take the initiative in politics. Elkkongguoer Ezhe sent heavy troops to attack Eshe Mountain, which will leave the Mongolian top leaders with the good impression that he would not leave any effort to save his father Khan, and then occupy the commanding heights of righteousness. Alslen is not very
When talking about politics, it is very likely to oppose Erke Kongguoer Ezhe's order to attack Erskegshan. Lin Danhan's prince can also use the Mongolian army's attack on the left and right wings to seal the mouth of Arslen. In this way, Erke Kongguoer Ezhe has the political dominance. Erke Kongguoer Ezhe has another advantage in attacking Erskegshan. As long as he makes a move to send troops, Lin Danhan will not encounter any resistance when he dies or dies Erke Kongguoer Ezhe takes over as the Khan king."
