Chapter 967: The strong wind breaks the giant tree, the grass is soft and strong (thirty-three)
Zhang Li, the commander of the Eagle Battalion, who was alone in the enemy's rear, did not know what was happening behind him. He was secretly glad that all the Turkic cavalry behind the Eagle Battalion were put into the east attack, which reduced a lot of pressure on the Eagle Battalion's advance. A lonely army suddenly appeared on the battlefield, which really scared the two Ross grain reserves and supplies. They also planned to transport food and grass forward after nightfall. These two Ross grain camps were built in the entire hinterland of the coalition.
No one expected that they were targeted by the main combat camp of the Po Nu Army. In the battle a few days ago, Ross' main force suffered heavy casualties. His commander Jijunev transferred two of the three regiments guarding the grain-storing camp in the rear to strengthen the forces of major camps on the front line. Now the situation on the battlefield is easy to offense and defense. The Po Nu Army has occupied the initiative in the battlefield. In the past year, the Po Nu Army has gone from lengthening the enemy's supply line to today's comprehensive counterattack. Both sides have reached a dry and dry state.
As the commander-in-chief Zhang Li, who has rich experience in fighting, he judged that the opponent's defense power was insufficient just by shooting sparse muskets from the Ross people. Zhang Li, who was so mean, could see at a glance that the hay was stored in the small camp in the southwest of the Ross people. The piles of snow-covered haystacks did not arouse much interest. Zhang Li asked Gu Xiaosheng, deputy commander of the temporary artillery team, to use high-gap* to solve the camp. He left the commander-in-chief Huang Feihong and the seven thousand war soldiers to protect the safety of the artillery team, and he led the main force to attack another camp five miles away. He looked at the enemy camp from afar. The commander-in-chief Zhang Li thought that his previous judgment was correct. He could see more than ten grain stacks with snow on the top of the east with naked eyes. The grain stack he saw was so excited that he was almost crying. The military achievements of the Eagle Camp were right in front of him.
As for the idea of Zhang Li's random disaster, he also planned to use this grain to dig a pit for the Ross people. Since the grain village was built in the rear of the Ross People's Congress, and the wood used on the front line was tight, Ross's commander Jijunev ordered the construction of a fence to transport the wood in front of the camp. In this way, the twelve combat companies guarding the camp could only fight in the open space. They were very good at fighting this flat ground against the Eagle Battalion. Commander Zhang Li ordered the co-support Wan Gufei to lead the 5,000 cavalry to prepare for attack, and he personally arranged the musket army formation. The five attacking musket formations were the main force of the Eagle Battalion's attack, and Zhang Li also left a thousand musket soldiers as a reserve team. The Eagle Battalion had fought many battles with the Ross people, and Zhang Li had already figured out the combat power of the Ross people clearly. He planned to bully the opponent with the Blao Slave Muskets.
Before Zhang Li was arranged, there were continuous explosions in the northeast. The explosion attracted Zhang Li's attention for less than half a stick of incense. He immediately turned back to pay attention to the main force's array. Just this time, Zhang Li was completely relieved. Today was the southeast wind that was rare in winter. Gu Xiaosheng's artillery team only fired thirty high-shallow* from the upper vent, and the camp where the forage stored rose fire rose into the sky. The hay was ignited at a moment, and the fire quickly spread to the entire camp. Several pillars of fire entangled each other and forced the Ross soldiers and auxiliary soldiers guarding the camp out of the camp. Gu Xiaosheng saw the successful setting fire, and he was not interested in staying here too much. After all, forage was not an important military asset, and Gu Xiaosheng was thinking about transferring the artillery team to the grain camp to get more military merits.
The same idea as Gu Xiao's survival was Huang Feihong, the Eagle Battalion General. Facing the Ross rebels who were not even listed in the formation, he used 2,000 cavalry to slash and kill them and then didn't even want to pursue them. Huang Feihong used the Ross man's combat power to be too weak, leaving 2,000 cavalry to clean the battlefield and guard the artillery team to chase the main force. Zhang Li used 5,000 musket soldiers to fight less than 1,000 musket soldiers, which was simply a slaughtering enemy.
The Eagle Battalion was only 100 casualties, and the garrison of Ross was completely dispersed. The General Commander Wan Gufei led the cavalry into the camp, chasing the defeated Ross soldiers while searching for the remaining enemies. The Ponu cavalry captured more than 5,000 Mongolian slaves in the Ross food camp. These Mongols were very docile in the face of the fierce Ponu cavalry. They knew very well the rules of the Han people, one by one, knelt down in the snow and lying on the ground with their hands to show their sincerity.
The commander of the Eagle Camp, Zhang Li, entered the camp and ordered all Mongolian slaves to gather together, and ordered Mongolian slaves to build bags of grain into a protective wall. As the main general Zhang Li knew very well that there was not much time left for the Eagle Camp. Once the Ross people reacted, they would fight back with all their might. After counting the inventory of the Ross people, Zhang Li was very impressed by Zhang Ping'an. It seemed that this was the last grain of the Ross people, with only about 10,000 stones of white flour, and the remaining 50,000 stones were beans, potatoes and other grains. The large grain storage camp only had this little grain, which was not enough for the Ross army to spend the winter. Even if the Ross people had beef and mutton, they would never have to wait for the spring. The lack of food here means that there was even less food on the front line. As long as the Eagle Camp could defeat Ross and fight back against the slave army, they would win the final victory.
A few days ago, the Elephant Battalion of the Pound Army suffered a great loss when breaking through the barrier of Ross. This time, Zhang Li planned to avenge his brothers. Ross stored more than 2,000 kilograms of * in this camp, and Wan Gufei, the Zhang Li people, arranged the battlefield in the south. According to Zhang Li's order, Wan Gufei arranged five piles of * on the south side of the camp with more than 2,000 kilograms of *, covering 10,000 stones of potatoes outside, and exposed three leads in the northwest of each grain pile. Based on the principle that the attacking Ross people who killed the attack were earned by the Pound Army, and they could not blow up the enemy and left them a grain of food, they prepared a generous gift for the enemy in advance. As for other military funds in the camp, most of the officers and soldiers of the Eagle Camp did not like it, with only dozens of stones of tea, thousands of stones of salt, and thousands of slaughtered cattle and sheep.
What really made the commander Zhang Li happy was that the Eagle Camp seized fifty-seven boxes of gold, silver and gems, with gold not exceeding about 5,000 taels, and silver only exceeding 30,000 taels. Three two-foot boxes were filled with various gems. Mr. Zhang had promised Zhang Li earlier that the Eagle Camp had outstanding achievements in the Wututzu Grassland, and gold was used to create the Eagle Camp hat badge after the war. It seemed that the gold seized here would not have to be handed over, but stayed to create the gold hat badge for the soldiers of the Eagle Camp. The Eagle Camp was the earliest battle barracks in the Slave Army to award the name of the camp. Apart from the close combat camp, Mr. Zhang fought in the Eagle Camp for the first time. As for the seized gems, it would naturally become Zhang Dashang’s personal property. According to the agreement between Mr. Zhang and the Civil yamen, the gems seized on the battlefield belonged to Mr. Zhang personally.
Just as Zhang Li was planning to save the property of the Ross people, the outer guardrail of the Eagle Camp had already been formed. As for the Ross people making rough tents and cloths, the soldiers of the Pound Army didn't like it at all. They piled the rags in the north and piled up hay outside. Although the Pound Army soldiers looked down on them, they just waited for the Ross people to rob them, and they wanted to see the scene of the Ross people crying without tears. At this time, the battle between the right-wing army group to chase and kill the Turkic cavalry was coming to an end. Huang Zhi's troops were mobilized to the west according to the order of Zhang Damao Zhang to prepare to pick up the Eagle Camp. Huang Wei's troops began to withdraw and left the battlefield to the cavalry of the Water Dragon Camp and the Fengliu Camp. The senior generals of the Pound Army all saw the meaning of the order of Zhang Damao Zhang, which was to allow the commander Xu Zhen to avenge his brother Xu Liang.
The reason why Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Slave Army, asked Xu Zhen to lead two large army troops of the war barracks to avenge his personal revenge was, on the one hand, considering that the Turks caused great harm to the Pou Slave Army, bloody revenge can show the uninhibited momentum of the Pou Slave Army. Secondly, these small Turkish tribes are no longer young and strong, and there is no value to extract land for the Pou Slave Army. If you want to say what the Turkish tribes are of use, it is nothing more than using their heads to shock other Turkic tribes. The angry Pou Slave Army revenge is quite terrifying, and the commander Xu Zhen gradually woke up from the initial anger. Today, the battle of the Water Dragon Camp was more than half, and the Feng Lion Camp under his command also suffered 30% casualties. Although General Zhang did not raise any objections to this in the military order, Xu Zhen still knew that he would be responsible for the huge war damage that the Feng Lion Camp had in the battle.
For the search and suppression of Turkic riots who were scattered by the Ponu Army, Xu Zhen chose a multi-point division of encirclement warfare, and gradually drove the running Turkic cavalry to the southeast within dozens of miles. In the southeast, the right-wing army of the Ponu Army was stationed in the Ponu Army, and it was almost impossible for the Turkic cavalry to break through in this direction. The Turkic cavalry who had been rushing for most of the day were trapped, and their earlier fighting spirit disappeared as the entire army dispersed. The Ponu Army's dense musket shooting sounded through the wilderness, and countless Turkic people fell in the pool of blood. The west side of the Swan Ridge was at the intersection of grasslands and forests, and there were birch trees and other mixed trees thirty miles eastward. The Turkic camp lacked wood and had no fences and guard walls. In addition, many small tribes gathered and no one was willing to take on hard work such as repairing walls.
The consequence of the Turkish laziness was that the Pou Nu Army broke into its camp like a nobody. The Turks left behind the camp were children and sick women, children, and elderly and weak. How did they fight against the Pou Nu Army soldiers like foxes and wolves? Dozens of Turkish camps were bloodbathed by Pou Nu Army cavalry, and children fell in pools of blood to survive. Revenge! Revenge! The thought of lingering in the minds of all the Pou Nu Army cavalry, and huge casualties rushed all their sympathy to Java. Killing all the soldiers of Pou Nu Army Water Dragon Camp and Feng Lion Camp were the only thought of, and they did not leave any possibility of revenge for the Turks. The Pou Nu Army happily avenged their brothers with the sword in their hands. Hundreds of Turkish camps were blood flowing into rivers, and the tender crying broke through the sky.
Huang Zhi, the commander of the White Wolf Camp of the Po Slave Army, received a military newspaper from General Zhang, saying that he judged that the Eagle Camp occupied the rear of the Ross army. If the White Wolf Camp wanted to obtain military achievements, he could find an opportunity to attack the Ross people against the grain camp. Zhang Ping'an was not good at thinking, and it would be not enough to just reprimand Zhang Li, a reprimand of the hob, just relying on the following text to intercept the Hu. Only by letting the White Wolf Camp, which is also powerful in combat, can Zhang Li teach the greatest lesson. At first, Huang Zhi did not understand Zhang Boss Zhang at the beginning.
