on the small river beach position. Zhou Cang's troops were still holding on, and their positions were constantly intercepting some small groups of Northern soldiers, and they got a startling fact from these prisoners of war.

"What's your name?" Zhou Cang asked a soldier of the Northern Army who had taken refuge in him.

"Ding Erxiao." Erxiao replied like this.

"Don't worry, we won't kill you, why are you running? Did something happen? Zhou Cang asked the other party.

"The rear army, the rear army of the Northern Army is completely chaotic. Many soldiers were running, and some brothers from the left, right, and center armies also ran. We are a front army, and the losses are too heavy. I haven't killed a single Red Turban soldier, you're amazing. So, we had to flee back on our own. Ding Erxiao said.

"What's going on? How were they able to escape on their own. Say it quickly. Zhou Cang asked impatiently.

"Yes, yes. Here's the situation. Since yesterday, some brothers from the rear army have come to them, and they said that the back is full of the Red Turban Army, and that the two infantry brigades of the Red Turban Army have been put into battle, and they have also incorporated the Yellow Turban Army. The number of people was about more than 100,000, and 100,000 people quickly moved south, and this was only the rear army that was attacked, and in the morning we saw the rout of the left army, and I heard that there were still artillery involved, and no one dared to hold on, as long as they held on to one piece, they would bombard it with artillery, and those in armor would not be able to withstand it at all, and they would be torn apart. Ding Erxiao said.

"Sir, it is the main force of Chief Xu, it must be the first brigade, or the third brigade." A lieutenant said from the sidelines.

"Hmm. It seems that this is the case, and the brothers were ordered to hold this place, and told those who had taken refuge on the other side that if they helped us to hold this place, they would be the Red Turbans. Zhou Cang ordered.

"Sir, sir." That's when it happened. A second lieutenant of the Red Turban Army ran over excitedly, he looked very happy, and he was about to fly when he ran over excitedly.

"Damn, I've got a daughter-in-law. Happy to be like this? Zhou Cang scolded.

"Sir, it's the 1st Brigade, and the 13th Regiment of the 1st Brigade has arrived. They came with a platoon, with muskets. The second lieutenant said excitedly.

"What? Is it the brethren of the 1st Infantry Brigade who have arrived? Zhou Cang jumped up excitedly and asked. When the second lieutenant saw his superior's actions, he also wanted to ask his commander such a sentence. It's a pity that he's a second lieutenant and can't say such things.

"Yes, sir, it's a brigade, a thirteenth regiment, but they came with only a platoon, twenty-seven men, and twelve muskets. Listen to them, their large forces are still behind, and the distance is not far away. The 1st Regiment of the main regiment has already launched an offensive. The second lieutenant continued.

"Great. That's great. The position was held. Held. Zhou Cang shouted excitedly. Then he went to see the men of the Thirteenth Regiment. This was the first time they had been supported by other troops, and without such reinforcements, they might have to abandon such a position.

In the headquarters of the Second Infantry Brigade, Shang Wu and Jia Xu set up a command here, two command centers are here, and Zhang Li is busy there, because many troops have not yet arrived at the designated position, and he seems to be more anxious than anyone else.

"It's messed up. It's all messed up. Jia Xu handed over the report he had received to Shang Wu.

"The 1st and 3rd Brigades had already launched an attack from the flanks and rear flanks, and because of the cold weather, the troops were scattered and outflanked, and as a result, they met the enemy, and both sides fought immediately, but no one expected that further south our troops would also be engaged in the battle on their own, so that there would be fighting everywhere, fighting everywhere. The Northern Army was simply unable to hold out, and the Red Turban Army pursued in the rout. It's too chaotic. Jia Xu doesn't seem to be able to explain such a situation. The rear army is still resisting, but their rear has been occupied by the Red Turban Army, the defeated Northern Army is chasing the Red Turban Army, and there are Red Turban Army soldiers chasing them in the rear, and the Red Turban Army in front is pursuing the Northern Army closer to the south, and the formation of the Northern Army has been completely disrupted.

"In other words, it's going to be a big mess." Shang Wu asked Jia Xu.

"Yes, we may attack Huangfu Song's Chinese army with the rout of the Northern Army. What we need to do now is to prevent Huang Fu Song from counterattacking, and we must quickly hit the position of Huang Fu Song's Chinese army camp before the army structure is restored, otherwise, once Huang Fu Song reacts, it will be extremely disadvantageous to our army. Jia Xu said.

"Well, let's immediately let the Second Infantry Brigade press up, so that we can hold down the position and not mess up." Shang Wu said.

"Yes." Jia Xu nodded, the situation was faster than Jia Xu expected, Jia Xu thought that the Red Turban Army would first surround the Northern Army, and then slowly launch an attack to eat the Northern Army in the encirclement. In this way, the pressure on them will be very great, so big that they don't know how to deal with such a situation, because the Red Turban Army is also very scattered, and they can only rely on the Yellow Turban Army to fight. But what I didn't expect was that the situation would develop even faster than expected, and the Northern Army itself collapsed first. The indiscriminate attack, as well as the bold innovation in tactics, especially the roundabout outflanking tactics, only two regiments of troops to achieve the effect of 20,000 main forces, such an offensive made their situation even more favorable.

Of course. The situation will also become more complicated. After Jia Xu quickly wrote the order and conveyed it, another question appeared in front of them.

"The current situation is very chaotic, and the formation of our troops has been completely disrupted." Jia Xu said.

"It's messy. As long as the officers can find their soldiers, they can fight hard, and this situation is not surprising at all. Shang Wu said.

"What I'm worried about is that our commanders are too timid to fight, don't be afraid, the troop structure is out of order. Then we can make order, but if the enemy is not chaotic, our situation will be completely destroyed. We're going to win out of chaos. Only in this way can the situation become more favorable to us. Shang Wu said.

"What a win in the chaos." Jia Xu said. What Shangwu wants is chaos, the more chaotic the better, because the more chaotic, the advantage of the Red Turban Army will be greater, they have the advantage of muskets, and the combat effectiveness of the company and platoon level is stronger, while the situation of the Northern Army is weaker, their combat effectiveness at the company and platoon level is very weak, and if they lose the command of the commander, they will completely collapse, and the will to fight will not be able to fight, and the situation will be very chaotic. In this way, their situation will become more favorable.

Thirty miles south of Xiaohetan, Zhu Jun and some of the soldiers of the Northern Army joined Cao Cao here, and they were going to withdraw from here.

"Where's the general?" Cao Cao asked.

Meng Dexiu asked. Withdraw. Zhu Jun said.

"General. How can we leave the boss behind and leave? This is a defeat, Meng De is not talented, and he is willing to rescue the coach. The boss was captured, and we were all humiliated. Cao Cao said.

"Mengde's heart, we know. It's just that. The situation has collapsed. Zhu Jun said helplessly.

"Meng De is willing to take three hundred elite soldiers to the rescue." Cao Cao said. Zhu Jun just nodded and agreed to this approach. They must get out of the battlefield as quickly as possible. Jizhou has become a huge battlefield. In this way, Meng De returned to the Central Army of the Northern Army with 300 soldiers. The situation on the battlefield became unfavorable for them. This is a new situation that no one expected.

Yangcun, where the 4th Infantry Brigade is stationed.

"At present, there are less than 600 infantry brigades, which is still very, very far from the establishment of infantry brigades." Zhang Qing said to Lao Mu.

"There's no way now, you know, there's a lack of soldiers everywhere, there's a lack of officers, and we really can't pull it out and rebuild this army that has no family to fight. Perhaps such an organization can only be carried out after the end of the war, but I don't know what the battle of the 4th Infantry Brigade will be like then? Lao Mu said.

"Well, hopefully the situation can be better, after all, this kind of thing is also very big for us." Zhang Qing said.

"Sir, sir." At this moment, a staff officer hurriedly came. Holding an up-to-date war report in his hand, there was no telegram, no telephone, and the time spent on communication was very long, and most of the military movements were consumed on this.

"Sir, the new situation, there is a big hole in the direction of Shicun, and the new army of Xiyuan is breaking through from there." The staff officer said.

"What?" When Lao Mu heard such news, he almost jumped up. Their mission is to trap the new army in Xiyuan, but as a result, Ishimura is unexpectedly opened.

"Ishimura, who is defending Ishimura, damn it, Lao Tzu cut off his head." Lao Mu shouted excitedly.

"Old Mu, don't get excited, don't get excited. At present, we must block the stone village as soon as possible. Zhang Qing said.

"Sir, defending there is the second battalion of the 311 Regiment, the second battalion has only more than 300 people, more than 300 people, all of them are killed." The staff officer bowed his head and said.

"Oh." Lao Mu stopped talking when he heard such news. Zhang Qing also felt very sad.

After all, in the direction of Ishimura, no one expected such a situation. It was an impossible direction to attack, because they were too far north, and the area controlled by the Red Turban Army was nearby, and it was very unexpected to break out there.

"We must block the opening as soon as possible, and we can't let the new army of Xiyuan escape." Zhang Qing said anxiously.

"I know that, but we don't have any reserves." Lao Mu said with great embarrassment.
