Chapter 865: The decisive battle on the grassland

In the mid-spring of the seventh year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, in the early morning of the Esrege Grassland, a red morning glow flashed in the east sky, and the stars shining in the sky all night were a little tired. In the faint morning light, the Ludeyin chariot battalion of the Pou Nu Army arranged its offensive formations, and the soldiers of the Pou Nu Army who had eaten the battle were all full of energy. Their commander Ludeyin issued an order last night that their Battle Elephant Battalion would obtain the first contribution of the Pou Nu Army's Battle Today's Battle. Although the Battle Elephant Battalion was the main battle camp of the Pou Nu Army, it has not achieved any decent results since the Battle of Baishan several years ago. Last time, the Battle Elephant Battalion fought with the Mongolian army on the same battlefield on the Esrege Grassland, and the Battle Elephant Battalion was also very depressed.

Ordinary soldiers of the Zhanxiang Camp knew that their commander Lu Deyin had a unique position in the Po Nu Army. Not only was he qualified, he was also one of the two first-class commanders in the Po Nu Army. If his wife had not killed the Korean woman Zhang Dashen, the Lu Dutong would have probably become the second deputy commander. Now these are not the focus of their concern. They were concerned about whether they could make their own military achievements on the battlefield. In the past three days of preparation, the Battle Elephant Battalion hung wooden boards passing through obstacles on the chariot, and a sandbag was dragged with sandbags behind the bullock. The shells of the crossbows in the chariot were also high-explosion* and high-saltitude*. From this, it can be seen that Lu Deyin was very busy and fun everywhere in the Po Nu Army. Three hundred mobile box trucks and nearly seven hundred box trucks carrying shells formed the reserve army of the Battle Elephant Battalion, plus the cavalry of Fu Ruige, the partial division of Lu Deyin, reached nearly 40,000.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

On the battlefield, Zhang Dashuai was still very careful about his glorious image. He could not read the sacred books similar to "Jin Ping Mei", and historical books such as "Spring and Autumn" were not suitable. He could only read the intelligence sent by the intelligence department under the light of the horse. The battlefield intelligence Zhang Ping'an was already familiar with it before the war. He was reading various intelligences from the Ming Dynasty. Because the Ming Dynasty intelligence was not an urgent task, Zhang Ping'an looked at the intelligence just to waste time before the war. The battles in the Ming Dynasty made Zhang Ping'an shook his head. The thief Gao Yingxiang and the Ming Dynasty official army fought several times in Shaanxi. The Ming Dynasty actually regarded Gao Yingxiang as a bandit. In this era, Gao Yingxiang plundered a large amount of gold and silver and went to the naturalized business road controlled by the Possess Army. Gao Yingxiang bought a large number of horses from the newly established Tumote Khan tribe on the grassland, forming a cavalry unit of 30,000 people.

Gao Yingxiang's cavalry army used the tactics of the large incline attack tactics used by the Posou Army, which defeated Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou, so they dared not to press their nests. Zhang Ping'an's old brother Lu Xiangsheng was placed in Henan by the Ming Dynasty court, doing all the activities of destroying bandits. Tens of thousands of Tianxiong Camp officers and soldiers actually only paid 3,000 taels of silver. After reading this spy, Zhang Ping'an called Qu Guozheng not far away to point his fingers and spies and whispered: "Lu Jiandou's life in the Ming Dynasty was so difficult, we have to find a way to help him. I'll pay this silver, and you'll find a way to give it in batches. Jiandou is smart, he may be able to guess the origin of the silver, and whether it is his business. Oh, I just can't see the old brother being wronged!..."

Seeing that the bored boss Zhang was about to praise him endlessly, Qu Guozheng nodded and wanted to run away, but Zhang Ping'an grabbed him and said, "Don't hurry to leave! I still have some serious matters. Go back and let Zhang Han secretly send a few staff members to the capital, and let Zhao Hucheng find a territory near Julu recently like Taohualing, which would be better to hide 3,000 people. Let Wu Jun, the chief of the personal guard camp, choose seven generals to explore the terrain. This matter must be done this summer. Let Zheng Tai find a way to install our people in several counties around Julu. I have to set up some bureaus a few years in advance. This is a major matter that concerns Lu Jiandou's life and death, and remember! Remember!"

After listening to Zhang Ping'an's words, Qu Guozheng could be said to be mixed in his heart. Boss Zhang gave Lu Xiangsheng silver, on the surface to help Lu Xiangsheng, but in fact Zhang Ping'an had a hidden killer move. Qu Guozheng knew that Emperor Chongzhen was very suspicious and was most taboo to lead important officials to interact with the Po Nu Army. Zhang Dashen knew that Emperor Chongzhen had a personality and still wanted to do this, it was nothing more than to anger Emperor Chongzhen to convict Lu Xiangsheng and imprison him. In this way, Zhang Dashen, who was very fond of political transactions, would definitely use generous conditions to bring Lu Xiangsheng into his own hands. Zhang Dashen once said that Lu Jiandou was loyal and righteous, and his strategy was far-reaching, and the Po Nu Army did not want such an opponent. Qu Guozheng knew that Zhang Dashen was using a divisive strategy, just to alienate Emperor Chongzhen's suspicion of his loyalty to Lu Xiangsheng. Qu Guozheng sighed secretly. Emperor Chongzhen was not as good as Emperor Tianqi in his stance.

That is, Lu Xiangsheng, an old brother who had faced the danger with the Deslaughter Army, had face. If it were others, they had been destroyed by the bad-hearted Marshal Zhang. What scared Qu Guozheng the most was that Marshal Zhang's layout was difficult to predict, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through the future. Because of this, whenever Marshal Zhang was free to joke that he was once a god in the sky, everyone would take his joke seriously. Marshal Zhang was planning for the crisis that Lu Xiangsheng might encounter several years later. How could this ability to see through the future not scare? Qu Guozheng walked away with his worries and Chief of Staff Gu Xin overheard the conversation between them. Because it was involved in the matter of the General Staff, Gu Xin had to ask clearly.

"Master, what are you trying to do?" Gu Xin also knew that he could not hide the shrewd Zhang Ping'an from eavesdropping on this matter, so he simply asked a question directly to make him seem to have no ghosts in his heart.

"If people don't have long-term plans, they will have immediate worries. I am worried about the future! This day is getting colder and dryer, and there are more and more people from the Ming Dynasty who come to our Posou City. It is not easy to support so many people! If Lin Danhan's army is defeated, the next step..."

Zhang Ping'an's sigh did not continue. The various battle camps attacking at the foot of Esreg Mountain entered the battle positions with the sound of the Niuke. Through the morning sunshine, Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Nu Army at a high place, could easily observe the entire battlefield, and the layers of attacking formations were covered with dozens of miles wide. The main attacking formations of more than 300 people formed a single square formation of attacking, and more than 1,000 fish scales on the front were five miles thick. The artillery team of the Pou Nu Army was divided into dozens of artillery groups, as well as more than 300 mobile crossbow box trucks and artillery groups. The two artillery teams of the Pou Nu Army were transferred to the two major artillery teams of the Pou Nu Army in each battle camp, providing continuous fire support for the entire offensive battle.

In addition to the command position of Zhang Dashen, there are also two command positions of two artillery teams commanders Yang Wei and Yang Meimei on the Eszege Mountain. On the only mountain in a radius of hundreds of miles, they can use high-power telescopes to observe the enemy situation. The weather is good today, and the Posou Army attacking west can fight under the light. The two artillery team commanders use flag-speaking hands to convey the orders. There are not many good places on the Eszege Mountain, and Zhang Dashen and the staff occupied the best observation position. The two artillery team commanders can only squeeze in the coach's stage and send three zhang. This is the Chief of Staff Gu Xin walked to Zhang Dashen and reminded: "Master, you can start!"

Zhang Ping'an, who was holding a telescope in his hand, took back the telescope, looked at hundreds of white tents painted with red sun and moon signs at the foot of the Serge Mountain and asked, "Are Xu Yuan ready for them?"

Gu Xin nodded and replied, "Don't worry, the general, with Xu Qiang Hospital of the Military Medical Department, they had prepared 800 beds and 300 operating tables. After the minor wounded soldiers were dealt with in front, they were sent directly to the east to the logistics camp for maintenance. The seriously injured stayed under the ground for a day, and then sent to the logistics camp after the injury stabilized."

After hearing this, Zhang Ping'an nodded and turned to look at the flying battle flag and said, "Then let's start! Today's wind direction is beneficial to our army, I hope there will be no trouble!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three cannons sounded on Mount Eserge, causing a tsunami to scream like a tsunami in the Possess Army's black army formation at the foot of the mountain.

"Magnificent! Magnificent! Magnificent!"

The artillery group of the Pound Army showed off their might. After the artillery exploded, the smoke rolled. Zhang Ping'an on the Esrege Mountain heard the sound of a series of cannons like thunder. A tent in a continuous Mongolian barracks was lifted up in the air. Zhang Ping'an could clearly see the Mongolian soldiers running around in scattered scattered through a high-power telescope. The frightened war horses ran around in groups and stepped over more white tents. The artillery team's crossbow box vans were passing through the forward attacking army formation. The three rounds of artillery fired almost at the farthest range. They did this to shock the enemy. The cover of the crossbow cannon is the main tactic of the artillery today.

To deal with possible obstacles in Mongolian tents, artillery crossbows used * to set fire as usual. This is mainly to lift up the Mongols to dig out obstacles and disguise the outer tent. As the military advisor of the Mongolian army, Alslen also used many methods to set fire, such as watering the tent. However, Mongolian tents are made of animal skins, and the skin on animals is grease no matter how they are treated. The shelf supporting the tent is also made of wooden and people must be lived in the yurt. Mongolians generally only pour water on the outer layer. The high-subsidy* of the Pokémon Army is an instant explosion, and the purified saltpeter is very easy to burn in an instant. It is inevitable that Alslen's simple fire prevention strategy will fail.
