It seemed as if guns were firing everywhere, and the sound of guns was like thunder.
On the battlefield of lightning and thunder, there was a scene of storm coming and wind filling the building, but the sun was hanging in the air, and the sky was clear.
The chaotic scene seemed to have traces to follow, and Zhang Ning thought of the clock: the soldiers and horses on both sides were moving in a clockwise direction.
The left wing was the direction of the Suzaku Army's attack, and the official army was not about to collapse at once.
The battle had lasted until noon, and Zhang Ning was very dissatisfied with the speed of the left wing's advancement.
The front line sent people back to ask for ammunition support, so he added the second sentry horse of Yongding Camp to escort a batch of weapons and ammunition to reinforce, and at the same time provided troops to Yao Erlang and other troops who had fought for a long time, so that they could have a chance to breathe.
Zhang Ning's troops included the eighth department of the infantry and artillery army, the central army guards, and the cavalry regiment.
At this time, he had invested more than half of the main combat forces in the offensive direction of the left wing: in the early stage, Yao Erlang led the second infantry of Changde Camp, and then nearly two thousand cavalry regiments participated in the battle, and just added another infantry; in order to cut off the danger of heavy artillery in the right wing, a group of troops had advanced forward.
Now there are two infantry camps left on the left and right of the central army; and two reserve camps in the rear, among which a group of troops in the rear army still needs to protect the safety of the baggage camp.
When the torrent of black horse soldiers on the right wing (north) appeared in sight, Zhang Ning seemed to have found a clear main line from this chaotic scene.
He found that his psychology and Xue Lu were surprisingly similar in this battle!
Zhang Ning was very anxious and tried to fight quickly. It was the most effective way to directly attack the enemy's central army from one place, so he grabbed the left wing and sent troops to attack fiercely; and Xue Lu seemed to be very anxious, and a large number of cavalrymen in the north were all dispatched, and Zhang Ning felt that they were coming for his central army.
Zhu Heng turned his head and looked north for a long time and suggested: I'm afraid our central army will have to prepare to defend the cavalry in advance.
Zhang Ning also said immediately: He ordered all the troops of the Central Army to form a square formation and arrange them on all sides...
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of flames flashed in the smoke under the hillside, and a moment later, the sound of cannons was shaking.
Zhang Ning looked up at the sky, waiting for the shells that flew in immediately. In an instant, he had a thought in his mind, "It's impossible for a blind cannon to hit me just by firing a cannon, right?"
At this moment, a sudden sound of a click sound came from not far away. Zhang Ning subconsciously turned his head and saw that the large flagpole with a square vermilion bird flag hanging high was tilting.
A guard next to him was quick-eyed and suddenly rushed up to hold the flagpole.
But the flagpole broke at the lower part, and the guards held the lower end, just like a lever principle. It takes great strength to stabilize the high flagpole at that position, and it is obviously not a person's strength.
The flagpole fell down faster after breaking and tilting, and in an instant, it hit the ground with a snap.
Zhang Ning was stunned for a moment.
The sound of gunfire on the battlefield still did not stop, and the battle continued; but for a moment, because many people's eyes were cast, Zhang Ning felt that the world had been quiet at that moment, and time had stopped.
The shelling more than one mile away could hit such a small target as the flagpole. Of course, it was beyond everyone's expectations, including those official troops who set off firecrackers. Is this God's will?
Zhang Ning did not believe in God's will, but he believed in the influence of morale.
The most effective way of war in this era is to concentrate troops on one battlefield to decide the outcome. Tens of thousands of people are on the battlefield within a radius of several miles, and the flag of the central army is like a direction lighthouse in the sea!
When the flag of the central army falls, people will panic and morale will be greatly hit...
The most mysterious point is that most ancient people were not brainwashed by scientific rational thinking. People must believe in a strange theory: it is an ominous sign that a large army will fall into a big flag!
Even Zhang Ning himself felt for a moment that God was angry with him?
With the artillery casting technology of this era, even if you can hit a goal as big as a football field, you can actually hit the flagpole with one shot...
The situation at this moment is like a miracle. A person is holding a machine gun in front of you and sweeping through you. The walls around you are full of bullet holes, but he just misses the shot.
The enemy troops under the hillside cheered loudly, and there were also people shouting in the camp of the officials and soldiers in the distance opposite. The voices from far and near were buzzing in Zhang Ning's ears.
Zhang Ning felt a little cold in his hands and feet, and his hands were slippery and cold sweat; the black horse team in the north was coming like a mountain torrent.
It’s not that he has experienced thrills. He has encountered the situation of being forced into a dead end with a knife with a knife, but that feeling is completely different. At that time, you only need to worry about your life and control your behavior. Now, tens of thousands of people are crowded in this wilderness, and he suddenly feels powerless to be unable to control the situation.
Prince, I deserve to die for a small crime!The guard who was trying to hold the flagpole just now lay on the ground and cried bitterly. Even if the villain's bones were crushed, he should hold the flag...
Zhang Ning came to his senses and said coldly: Get up, the sin is not on you.Come on, let’s put the flag back on!Come and prepare the horse!
Only then was a group of guards scrambling to come over, they lifted the flag first and hugged it around.
Then someone took the iron tool and digged holes on the ground. Several big men hugged the flagpole and put it into the dirt hole. They shouted trumpets and poked them down hard, firmly inserted the bottom of the flagpole into the earth. A man used all the strength to grit his teeth and ate his breasts. The rough skin on his temples rose, and the eyeballs in his eyes were soaked in tears.
Zhang Ning took the horse and was about to go out of the camp to inspect the surrounding military formations. At this moment, a large number of horse troops from the official army were getting closer and closer. Zhu Heng hurriedly persuaded him but it was useless. He said without hesitation: I am not leaving the camp, Prince, go and go back quickly.
At this time, Zhang Ning had no time to issue detailed military orders, so Zhu Heng could only arrange the defensive formation on his behalf.
At this moment, the remaining army of the central army was almost all infantry, including the guards and reserves, with a total of about 6,000 people, of which more than 1,000 people had to guard the baggage camp to form a hollow square formation to avoid being destroyed; the main cavalry of the Northern Army had more than 10,000 people according to intelligence. At this moment, with the so-called omen, the enemy cavalry would inevitably launch a crazy attack.
Zhu Heng said to everyone in the Senate: If the troops near the Central Army were deployed in large arrays at this time, they could not completely block the cavalry from transcending and detouring, and instead put our Central Army Guard in danger.The troops of each unit were ordered to use the whistle as the formation, each with one hundred and twenty steps apart, to form a rejection formation without any errors.
The officials hurriedly wrote quickly and issued formal orders to the commanders of each sentry.Soon, Zhang Ning also returned to the central army from outside the camp. He also agreed with Zhu Heng's arrangement.
