PS: (Thank you for the monthly pass support of "wenhaochang" book friends!) In addition, the plot of the first few chapters is indeed a bit protracted, redundant, and boring to read, but Hu Yanglin has carefully revised the outline, and will pay attention to controlling the rhythm next, and there are more exciting plots in the future, please wait and see, thank you! ）

When the Taishan battalion and the Qing army with the red flag of the Han army exchanged hands, Pang Yue always paid attention to the situation there, and let the trapped camp continue to move some distance in the direction of the mountain pass in the northwest, ready to go for reinforcements at any time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As time passed, the intensity of the battle at the mountain pass began to gradually increase, and although it was not enough to catch up with the frontal defense line, the sound of popping beans, the white smoke in the sky, and the terrifying shouts all touched people's hearts. The Taishan Battalion, which is under-equipped and still combat-effective, is undergoing the most severe test since its formation.

Under the banner of the battalion marked with the outline of the main peak of Mount Tai, Liu Renjun's face was extremely solemn, and he did not dare to relax in the slightest. This was the first time he had commanded the entire battalion on the battlefield since he was promoted to battalion officer, and the current situation was not optimistic.

Although the usual training of the Taishan battalion will also involve the training subjects of the combat barracks, and the soldiers can even make the same tactical movements and list the same formations as the combat barracks, but when they really face the fierce enemy army on the battlefield, it is much more difficult than the combat barracks.

After a few rounds of firecrackers, the Han army in front of the Red Flag Qing soldiers poured to the front like a tide, and the firecrackers of the Taishan battalion had no time to reload again, and quickly ran to the rear of the formation along both sides. The pikemen who followed lowered their spears and shouted to the sound of the officers' commands, stabbing round after round. The whole battalion was tactically no different from the Gangfeng battalion and other combat battalions.

However, due to the difference in the focus and intensity of training in peacetime, the spear formation of the Taishan battalion obviously failed to exert the power of the war barracks, and after a few rounds of stabbing and achieving certain results, some soldiers began to be unable to keep up with the rhythm, and there were problems in the coordination of the group.

For the flaws that appeared from time to time in the Taishan camp, the commander of the Han army on the opposite side with the red flag would certainly not let go, and sent the elite Baya soldiers to make key breakthroughs in those weak points. Soon. Small gaps began to appear in the seemingly tight defense line of the Taishan battalion, and the soldiers were barely able to support it with a bloody courage and good physical strength that they usually practiced, but it is unknown how long this situation could last.

Seeing the battle situation in front of him, Liu Renjun was anxious and unwilling in his heart. He had promised Pang Yue that he would defend this mountain pass, but he didn't want to see his officers and soldiers unable to withstand it for even such a while. So I kept ordering various adjustments. He did his best to stabilize the situation and widened his eyes for the enemy's flaws in order to turn the tables on the occasion.

……

Pang Yue's worst fear still happened, and it took only three quarters of an hour after the Taishan camp and the Han army were in close contact with the red flag. He saw the flags of the Taishan battalion and the general flags of the officers moving from the front row of the formation to the back of the formation in an embarrassed manner, followed by a large number of officers and soldiers who had retreated.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the officers and men still maintained a minimum of sanity after the defeat, and under the leadership of the officers, they hurriedly ran along the sides to the rear of the formation, and did not completely fall into a rout so that they broke up the formation of the rear row.

After the front row was defeated. The officers and men of the Taishan Battalion in the back row quickly stepped forward to resist the Qing soldiers who rushed over, and those officers and men who had retreated from defeat also ran to the "stop line" behind the formation one after another and began to reorganize their formations. This "stop" line was located more than 20 paces behind the main line, and on the line stood the supervisor of the battalion and two rows of supervising sergeants armed with firearms and broadswords, and all the defeated officers and soldiers who crossed this line would be killed on the spot, but fortunately, no one dared to joke with their lives for the time being.

In the hoarse shouts, the officers and soldiers of the Taishan battalion continued to resist the impact of the Qing soldiers with their lives.

"It won't be long before the Tarzan camp tops!" Zhang Yunli's face was grim and said to Pang Yue.

Pang Yue sighed slightly, he also saw that the officers and soldiers of the Taishan battalion had done their best. Liu Renjun was also trying his best to control the situation so that the whole battalion would not collapse, but this temporary stalemate was obviously very reluctant. It may not be long before the situation deteriorates completely.

"Let the trap camp go up! The Flying Tiger Battalion is on standby, ready to come forward and kill the Tartars who rush at you! Without the slightest hesitation, Pang Yue issued a new order.

Soon. With a neat and powerful sound of running, the trap camp that received the order began to run towards the mountain pass in the northwest direction, and the spear pointed by Lin Shangzhi did not show the slightest confusion in the running.

After the trapped camp began to move, Pang Yue observed the frontal front in front again. Gangfeng and Po Barracks are still fighting to the death with the officers and soldiers of Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi's department. The long line of defense was like a solid. The tide of the Qing soldiers' charge was constantly blocked. But after all, the Qing army was in an advantage in numbers, and there was also Shen Zhixiang's department, which was waiting for work, to rotate as a reserve. The battle that follows is also full of uncertainties.

Therefore, Pang Yue was ready to move the withdrawn Taishan battalion to the first line of defense after he was on top of the trapped camp. Although it is difficult for the Taishan battalion to block the frontal impact of the Eight Banners, it is located behind the strong front and the broken barracks as a backing, and it should not be a big problem to plug the leak. At the moment, the number of troops is tight, so make use of it if you can.

When the trapped camp marched to the rear of the Taishan battalion's main formation for more than 30 steps and stopped and stood still, the situation of the Taishan battalion was getting worse and worse. More and more officers and men in the front row were scattered by the Qing army, defeated and retreated to the rear of the formation, and then reorganized under the threat of the officers' organization and the supervision team, and the entire formation was already constantly retreating.

It was at this time that Liu Renjun finally got the retreat order from the Chinese army headquarters, although he was very unwilling, but he could only truthfully give it to the whole battalion. The officers and men who had been struggling to support themselves suddenly relaxed in their spirits and retreated from both sides of the trapped camp like a tidal wave.

Seeing that his army had defeated the Ming army guarding the mountain pass so quickly, Jin Li was almost ecstatic, and immediately ordered the whole army to rush out of the mountain pass to pursue.

"Minggou is defeated!" After receiving the order to pursue, the victorious Han soldiers with red flags broke out into a frenzied shout, chasing the Ming army like tigers descending from the mountain.

But it didn't take long for the excited laughter on the faces of the Qing soldiers who rushed to the front froze, and they saw that after the defeated Ming army in front of them dispersed from both sides, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of them. At another glance, the smile disappeared without a trace. I saw that another neat Ming army formation appeared near the mountain pass, the shiny armor shining in the sunlight, and the dense jungle of spears pointing forward flashed with an aggressive cold light.

……

Seeing the trapping camp quickly block the mountain pass. Withstanding the attack of the Qing army, Pang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief. He has always been relieved of the combat effectiveness of the trapped camp, and the subsequent battle situation has fully demonstrated that the soldiers really did not disappoint him. Just a moment's work. The current of red and white-rimmed flags that had rushed to the vicinity of the pass was firmly blocked. After holding on to the sea of fiery red flags in front of him for a while, he continued to retreat along the way he came. And those Qing stragglers who rushed across the mountain pass were all slaughtered by the cavalry sent by Shi Youliang without exception.

As soon as Pang Yue withdrew his gaze from the mountain pass, Liu Renjun, the commander of the Taishan battalion, and a cadre of officers in the battalion came to Pang Yue to plead guilty. Pang Yue smiled generously, did not accuse them too much, and said that he saw that the soldiers of the Taishan battalion had done their best. Due to the different training focus and the lack of equipment, this is also a matter of no way, in the future, it is necessary to learn lessons and strengthen training, and I will also find ways to improve the equipment of the Taishan battalion in the future.

Seeing Pang Yue so tolerant, Liu Renjun and the others were even more ashamed.

Subsequently. Pang Yue ordered Liu Renjun to send the wounded in the battalion to the medical department for treatment, and then led the Taishan battalion to the frontal defense line again to act as a backing for Gangfeng and the broken military camp.

For this task, Liu Renjun, who was anxious to regain face, of course, did not have the slightest reluctance, and after sending the wounded away, he set off with the whole battalion, and even assured Pang Yue categorically before leaving: Before receiving the order, even if the whole battalion dies, it must be nailed in the distance, and if it retreats, he will raise his head to see him, etc.

Hearing this poisonous oath, Pang Yue just smiled and nodded. And didn't say anything.

……

It was close to noon, but the fighting was still going on, smoke and dust rolled up from the southeast of the camp in Huguang Town, and the pace was like thunder. After receiving Zhu Dadian's warrant, Ma Jinzhong, the chief soldier of Changde, who led the army to camp in Shitangchong, personally led more than 4,000 foot soldiers in the town to reinforce.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Pang Yue and Zhu Dadian's mood relaxed a little. Although there are not many reinforcements. However, the current situation of overstretched defensive forces can always be alleviated to a certain extent.

"Inspector, Uncle Dingwu, the last general is not too late, right?" After stopping the 4,000 foot soldiers on the outskirts of the camp in Huguang Town, Ma Jinzhong came to the headquarters of the Chinese army to meet with Zhu Dadian and Pang Yue.

"It's good to be here!" Zhu Dadian bowed slightly. But he didn't comment on Ma Jinzhong's speed.

"Where is Mr. Ma?" Pang Yue said with a smile, "The friendly troops in Changde Town came in time. In this way, our town has added a big boost, and the defense line will be stronger! ”

In fact, Zhu Dadian still has some complaints about Ma Jinzhong, the camps of the two towns are only more than ten miles apart, and yesterday he sent a fast horse to send the warrant to Shitang Chong, so that Ma Jinzhong could lead the army to come to support, but Ma Jinzhong arrived at noon today.

However, if you really want to dig deeper, this is not a big mistake, in order to maintain the overall situation of unity, so Zhu Dadian is not easy to point out on the surface. Besides, compared with Liu Chengyin, Ma Jinzhong is quite fast, at least he brought people over, but Liu Chengyin's men and horses have disappeared so far.

Ma Jinzhong also seemed to feel Zhu Dadian's unhappiness, so he hurriedly asked Pang Yue: "Uncle Dingwu, what is the current battle situation, do you need my town's soldiers to play?" ”

Pang Yue was about to say something, when he heard a rapid sound of cymbals from the direction of the Qing army's camp, followed by cheers from the soldiers of Huguang Town. After another morning of fighting, the Qing army, which had failed to attack, retreated again.

******

Several victories of the Ming army did not stop the Qing army for long. In the afternoon, the well-fed Qing army was again preparing to attack. According to the previous plan and the results of the discussion with Ma Jinzhong at noon, Pang Yue arranged various defense tasks. The frontal defense line was defended by the Gangfeng Battalion, the Gunfire Team of the Broken Army Camp and the Trap Camp, the rest of the forces of the Gangfeng Battalion and the Trap Camp were used as reserves, and the mountain pass in the northwest direction was defended by 4,000 infantry brought by Ma Jinzhong, and the Taishan Battalion was the reserve, and the rest of the deployment remained unchanged from before.

However, the attack launched by the Qing army in the afternoon was a little strange, and the main force of the attack actually became the green battalion again, and the strength of the attack on the Ming army's defense line was not allowed to be in the past. It's not so much an attack as a harassment.

After just an hour and a half, the battle ended, and the losses on both sides were greatly reduced compared to before, and the Qing army, which had not invested all its strength, naturally still made no progress, but only damaged some facilities in the Ming camp with artillery.

In this case, Pang Yue did not dare to relax in the slightest. As the saying goes, when things are abnormal, you are a demon, and this calm state is often a precursor to a storm.
