Chapter 952: The strong wind breaks the giant tree, the grass is soft and strong (18)
More and more Turkic cavalry rushed up, and the dense cavalry formation made many Turkic cavalry unable to avoid the cone of the Pou Nu Army's chariot. One high-speed war horse after another hit the chariot, causing the thick chariot to overturn the ground at any time under the impact of the Turkic cavalry tide, like a small boat that was overturned at any time, falling from one peak into a deep canyon. The four bulging cavalry inside the chariot were also hit by many times and stopped moving forward. Countless bodies of people and horses killed in front of the chariot hindered the chariots, which were half a meter high and made it difficult for the front-line chariots to move forward. The guillotines on both sides of the chariot were also broken due to the long use of the chariot. More and more Turkic cavalry rushed into the Pou Nu Army's offensive line, and they were strongly blocked by the ghost sword team in the rear.
Thanks to the strengthening of the firepower of the White Wolf Camp musket soldiers of Huang Zhi's White Wolf Camp musket soldiers against the Ghost Sword Team, the Turkic cavalry who broke into the chariot front of the Slave Army was first hit by the chariot musket soldiers and then blocked by the chariot musket soldiers of the Ghost Sword Team. There were not many Turkic cavalrymen who could rush into the front line. Even these few Turkic cavalry also caused many casualties to the Ghost Sword Team. The war horses attacked at high speed rushed out of gaps. The most casualties were the shield hands and ghost sword hands in the Ghost Sword Team. They were the main targets of the Turkic war horse attack. From a distance, the Pound Slave Army was outlined by a red line on the ten-mile front, which was a blood-flowing front line, and both sides fighting on both sides of the blood line took all their strength to defend or break through.
Zhang Ping'an, who was watching the battle on the commanding commander stage, could no longer sit still when he saw this long bloodline. He stood up and walked to Gu Xin at the railing of the front desk. Zhang Ping'an wrapped his sable cloak with his hands and pushed Gu Xin with his shoulders, who was also fascinated by the battle, and said, "How is it? The General Staff has made a mistake! It took too long for Yang Wei's artillery team to set up the formation in such a dense military formation. Today, Yang Wei's decision-making in the battle was unclear, which was a major mistake. Before the battle, the General Staff only knew how to talk about war on paper, and he had to be responsible for the mistakes in the calculation!"
Zhang Ping'an's speech said that the position arranged by the General Staff was problematic, and the battlefield was very different from map operations. There were multiple hills in the formations arranged by the Po Slave Army. The General Staff arranged the formations to leave several passages in the mountains, which made it difficult for the forward artillery team to move forward in the rear and directly led to difficulties in the Yang Wei artillery team entering the formation. Now the casualties of the Po Slave Army on the front line are increasing, and Gu Xin, as the chief of staff, is also very irritable. On the tense battlefield, this person was upset and anxious and prone to being confused: "Don't talk about the matter with the General Staff! You, General Zhang, did not sign all the combat orders of the General Staff, have you? Do you want me to save the orders you signed for you to see?"
"Hey! Hey! Hey! You are anxious. Calm! Be calm! The more the war is in a stalemate, the more calm we are, the more we are the leader, so that we can encourage the morale of the army! Look how calm I am, the eggs and ass are stable! You are a taboo today, and you dare to confront me in front of so many people. It is my magnanimity to not wear small shoes for you. Alas, do you think I am getting more and more arrogant recently?"
Gu Xin has not heard Zhang Da mention this word for many years. It has been more than ten years since the Slave Army has long stopped using this barbaric vocabulary. Why did Zhang Da start to stir up the cold rice again? The more Gu Xin listened, the more he became more and more confused. What happened to Zhang Da Zhang today? He said nothing about the current battlefield. Based on his understanding of Zhang Ping'an, there must be a conspiracy behind Zhang Da Zhang's doing so. So Gu Xin turned his eyes to Zhang Da, who was still talking about him. He found that he looked to the northwest to watch the battle.
Zhang Ping'an seemed to be looking southwest. So Gu Xin's eyes also looked southwest of the battlefield. It was obvious that Ross's commander Jijunev was not a simple figure. He guessed that the military deployment of the Slave Army did not use his right wing force. On the battlefield, Ross' main combat soldiers still had a large number of troops on their right wing. Gu Xin had a candle to estimate that the Ross people's troops were about 70,000, and the Turkic cavalry in this direction reached hundreds of thousands.
Today, Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Nu Army, and the General Staff, missed the determination and courage of the Turks to fight. Since the end of the Black Shuipu Campaign, the commander Zhang Ping'an was optimistic that the Turks had lost their youth and strong men and they were no longer able to fight again. The real situation hit Zhang Damao in the face. The Turks not only did not retreat because they were missing youth and strong men, but instead tried their best to fight the Pou Nu Army. At this time, Gu Xin understood the source of the madness of the Turks. The youth and strong men were the hope of survival in the dangerous environment. Without these youth and strong herders, the small tribes would either die of hunger or be annexed by the large tribes. In the process of the large tribes annexing the small tribes, the khans and chiefs of the large tribes would not ask for the elderly who consumed food. They often chose young women and children who could give birth to children.
The biggest need for people is the hope of survival. The Turkic elderly people either succeeded in this battle that was related to their future survival, or were abandoned by their tribe members because of failure. This option without a retreat made the Turkic people not afraid of death, and chose to die in the battlefield without hesitation when fighting the powerful Slave Army. This is why the war process has been so stalemate since the war started. Gu Xin, the chief of staff who figured out the crux of the crux, whispered to Zhang Ping'an: "Master, can we let the left-wing Hu Ming and others attack? This can reduce the pressure on Deputy General Chen's right-wing army."
Zhang Ping'an, who had a calm expression, shivered after hearing Gu Xin's words. Even Gu Xin, who was most familiar with the deployment of the battlefield, had no confidence in the current war. Zhang Ping'an felt a little nervous. Unlike Gu Xin, the more Zhang Ping'an was, the less nervous he showed in his heart. Years of war experience told Zhang Ping'an that the more at this critical moment, the commander of the first army must maintain a calm mind. Even if the enemy attacked the coaching platform, he would be as powerful as a mountain. He did not directly answer Gu Xin's advice, but shook his head slowly. Zhang Ping'an raised his right hand and made a gesture of silence. At this tense moment, Zhang Ping'an tried to suppress his anxiety and he must come up with an emergency solution as soon as possible. Zhang Ping'an said calmly: "Send someone to call Liu Chong, Zhao Guangming, Yan Cheng and Sister Yang!"
The battlefield today is extremely treacherous, and both sides are in the north to fight. The Ross coach Jijunev has been keeping his main force thirteen miles away from the battlefield between the Pou Nu Army and the Turks. In this direction, the Pou Nu Army uses all its strength and still sees no hope of breakthrough. The enemy of Jijunev covers Ross' main force and does not enter the battle, which makes the Pou Nu Army commander Zhang Ping'an sense the threat. Zhang Ping'an has seen all kinds of opponents in the past decade. Today, the Ross coach Jijunev, who performed abnormally today, was the first person to make him feel scared. It seems that after Ross defeated several times, Zhang Ping'an developed a pride, while his opponent Jijunev summarized the way to deal with it in the failure. If Ross doesn't take action, Zhang Ping'an has to force Ross' main force to move.
The first person to come to the commander Liu Chong was the commander of the commander Liu Chong. His position was less than four miles away from the commander. When he was summoned by the flag-speaker Zhang, Liu Chong only brought ten guards and horses to come. He quickly climbed up to the platform and said hurriedly: "Master, come and obey the order!"
Zhang Ping'an, facing the battlefield, waved his head and called Liu Chong to his side. He pointed his hand at Nan and asked, "Don't play vain on the battlefield. I asked you to take two personal barracks to attack head-on. What do you want to fight?"
Zhang Ping'an's question was very direct, and his words revealed that the current battlefield was not smooth. However, Liu Chong smiled and said, "What's the difficulty! I can just attack and disrupt the enemy's right wing."
Liu Chong's answer had no end, but it made Zhang Ping'an's serious face show a smile. Liu Chong deserves to be known as the little fox wolf, and his tactics coincide with Zhang Ping'an's idea. Now, Zhang Ping'an pulled Liu Chong back to the rear of the coach's platform. He asked Liu Chong to sit in front of the map and handed Liu Chong a guide. Zhang Ping'an was in a good mood and picked up the hot milk tea poured by Sun Xigui, while drinking lightly, looking at Liu Chong repeatedly signaling him to continue. However, the sound of cannons on the battlefield was endless, and Liu Chong had to shout in a loud voice: "Master, this battle is so difficult, I have long been anxious. It seems that the commander of the Ross is not a good man. If there is no middle lane and left wing to restrain this battle, we can't fight! Since the Rosss doesn't move, we might as well move the Turks on the periphery first."
Liu Chong paused when he said this, and pointed the trainer to the southwest Turkic garrison on the map and continued: "Master, I have observed my position for a long time. The Turkic people seem to have many large tribes in the south, while in the north, there are mostly small tribes. I wonder if the Turkic tribes dare to fight more than these large tribes..."
After hearing Liu Chong's words, Zhang Ping'an really wanted to slap himself twice. Liu Chong pointed out the real reason why the Pou Slave Army could not make a breakthrough on the right wing. It seems that inertial thinking is killing people. In fact, Zhang Ping'an also noticed that the Turkic battle flags in the north were too complicated. This means that there are many tribes here. This is typical of using a small Turkic tribe to consume the Pou Slave Army's attacking forces. Zhang Ping'an, who came back to his senses, was not in a hurry to agree with Liu Chong's attack strategy. He still needed to consider whether the other commander would have any further moves. As several other generals arrived at the commander's platform one after another, there was not much time left for Zhang Ping'an to think. The battlefield situation became more and more critical at this moment, and the Turkic cavalry in the northern part actually made a gap of dozens of feet long in the southeast of the Pou Slave Army's chariot formation.
Zhang Ping'an was not in a hurry to see this sudden battle situation, because the firepower of the Yang Wei artillery team of the Slave Army gradually became fierce, and with the Yang Wei artillery team supporting the Turkic cavalry, they could not overturn the sky. As Zhang Ping'an expected, Yang Wei artillery team used 300 crossbows to block the battle gap, and the musket soldiers were beneficial to block the enemy cavalry that had broken through. Although the war was beneficial to the Ross coalition, they did not attract the Ross soldiers to the northern battlefield.
After fighting for more than an hour, only Zhang Li's Eagle Battalion made a breakthrough. It was not beyond Zhang Ping'an's expectation that the Eagle Battalion broke through the northwest of the Turkic cavalry under the guidance of one hundred chariots. In this direction, it was the weakest point in the defense of the Ross coalition. The only thing that made Zhang Ping'an feel a little uneasy was whether the attack behind Zhang Li's Eagle Battalion would be disconnected from the right-wing cluster led by Deputy Commander Chen Zheng.
