In the face of Tan Tai's repeated drinking, Dunbai lowered his head and stepped aside and did not dare to speak again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe generals of the two yellow flags around were also waiting quietly, and no one dared to say anything more.

Tan Tai's chest rose and fell violently after venting, and if Fulg was in front of him at this time, he would have even cut Fulge's heart on the spot. This turn of events on the left flank seriously disrupted his plans, and he did not think that he would be able to hold on to them all the time, but as long as he could hold out for three or four hours, he would have a chance to use his back. And as long as Fulg strictly follows his instructions and does not attack rashly, it will not be difficult to hold on for three or four hours. But because of Fuerge's self-inflicted cleverness, a series of previous arrangements were disrupted.

After Tan Tai's breathing calmed down a little, Dunbai stepped forward again and said: "General, although the situation on the left flank is a little critical, fortunately, the formation of soldiers and horses has not collapsed, and if reinforcements are sent immediately at this time, Fulg should still be able to stabilize the situation." ”

Tan Tai did not speak with a gloomy face, and raised the clairvoyant mirror to look to the east side. In the distance, white smoke filled the air, making the vision very blurred, but from the position of the red flame fired by the firearm in the smoke, it could still be seen that a soldier and horse from Huguang Town were indeed turning to the middle lane. At this time, the front of the left wing had been poked out by Huguang Town, and most of the soldiers and horses on the left flank were trapped near Nanshan Village. If it is beaten from the flank by the soldiers and horses of Huguang Town, Jizhou Town, the Zhili Green Camp on the east side of Xugang Village, is afraid that it will collapse first under the attack from both sides, and then affect the middle road and even sweep the Chinese army, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

No matter how angry he was at Fulge, Tan Tai knew that the most important thing at the moment was to deal with the crisis in front of him as soon as possible. In order to stabilize the middle road just now, he sent hundreds of Zhejiang's infantry soldiers to Xugang Village, and at this time, the reserve team in his hand also had the infantry armor and horse armor of the yellow flag, the infantry armor inlaid with the yellow flag, most of the infantry soldiers of the Zhejiang standard, and all the soldiers and horses of Denglai Town, Shandong Luying, a total of more than 9,000 people.

If you want to send reinforcements to the east road, the soldiers and horses on the west road have fallen into a fierce battle and the distance is far away, and it is difficult to withdraw for a while. Therefore, if reinforcements are to be sent, they can only find a way from the remaining reserves at hand. And at this time, the defense line in the middle is still very solid, as long as a powerful reinforcement can be sent in time to solve the crisis on the east road, this battle will still be promising.

After calming down, Tan Tai quickly made a decision: "The horsemen of Denglai Town went up to replace the vests with yellow flags, and then all the soldiers and horses with yellow flags were led by the Han army Gushan Ezhen Ma Guangyuan and went to the area of Nanshan Village on the East Road to support Fuerge. Tell Fuerg that if he can't stabilize the left front this time, military law will be ruthless! ”

The order was quickly passed down, and the soldiers and horses who received the order began to move.

After a while, another Niu Lu Zhangjing ran over to report: "General, the lookout post on the lookout cart reports that the soldiers and horses of the second formation of Huguang Town have gone to the left and right wings. More than 6,000 people went to the direction of Hutou Mountain on the West Road, mainly foot soldiers. There were about seven or eight thousand people going in the direction of Nanshan Village on the East Road, of which there were about 2,000 horsemen. ”

Tan Tai's face sank: "How many people have been stayed?" ”

"It seems that there are no left, and all the soldiers and horses of its second formation are divided to the left and right flanks."

"Didn't stay? Could it be that Pang Yue didn't leave some people to protect his life? Where is his banner now? ”

"I am coming in the direction of Xugang Village on the middle road, and there are about four or five hundred people accompanying me."

Dunbai and the others next to him were sweating on their foreheads when they heard this, and Huguang Town did not move in the back, and they went all out when they moved. The left flank of Fulge can only support the existing soldiers and horses on the right flank of Huguang Town, and once Huguang Town attacks in this direction with seven or eight thousand men on foot, his own side will not be able to resist and will only collapse in the whole formation.

At this time, all the soldiers and horses of the Qing army were already fighting. Although there are still more than 8,000 people in the reserve force in Tan Tai's hands, most of them are green battalions, and the only ones who can really wrestle with the main force of Huguang Town are probably only the 3,000 soldiers and horses of Zhenghuang Banner.

Dunbai suppressed the panic in his heart and said to Tan Tai: "General, since the rear formation of Huguang Town has been dispatched, Ma Guangyuan and Fuerge are afraid that they will not be able to resist so many soldiers and horses. ”

Tan Tai's expression was constantly changing, of course he was clear about the current situation, but once he put all the reserves at hand into it, even if he could block Huguang Town's full counterattack, he would no longer have any troops and horses in his hands.

At this time, Tian Xiong said loudly on the side: "General, the last general is willing to lead his headquarters to block the puppet Ming army and buy time for the whole army!" ”

At this point, Tian Xiong has no way out. He knew very well what would happen if he fell into the hands of Pang Yue once he was defeated. Even if he can escape from the battlefield by luck, there is a lot of military law waiting for him. Only by going all out to win and completely defeat Pang Yue can he have a way to live. The grim situation brought out almost all of his blood and bravery.

Tan Tai looked at Tian Xiong, and when he was about to speak, the Yellow Banner Manchurian Melle Zhangjing Yild rode over from the military formation next to him, and dismounted and came to Tan Tai: "General, the rear formation of Huguang Town has all been dispatched, and the soldiers and horses on the left flank are afraid that it will be difficult to resist." Sending reinforcements from the Chinese army may only be able to alleviate it for a while, and in the end it will not help. ”

"And what do you say?"

"Didn't Pang Yue's guy come to the middle lane?" Ilde pointed to the middle lane, "Since he is here, he will rely on the phalanx in the middle to save his life." And the main forces of Huguang Town's rear are all running to the left and right wings, and the middle lane is still the original soldiers and horses. Our Chinese army has not moved the soldiers and horses plus nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses on the front line of Xugang Village, and while they are unprepared to storm the middle road in one fell swoop, the soldiers and horses of Huguang Town on the opposite side will definitely be taken by surprise. As long as we break the middle road of Huguang Town and kill Pang Yue, the soldiers and horses of Huguang Town on the left and right wings will definitely collapse without a fight. ”

Tan Tai didn't speak immediately, and turned his head to look at Dunbai and the other yellow flag generals beside him.

Dumber thought for a moment and said, "I agree with Ildemmel's proposal, this may be the only chance for our army to turn defeat into victory." ”

However, the Mongolian Mer Zhangjing Alhatu of the Zhenghuang Banner hesitated and said: "If we attack the middle road with all our strength, and the left flank of our army rushes ahead of the middle road of Huguang Town, then we will no longer have any troops and horses available." At that time, the horsemen of Huguang Town swept over, and the middle of our army was out of control in a moment. ”

At this time, the lookout post on the nearby pole car reported the latest battle situation ahead. The cavalry advance in the rear of Huguang Town had approached the gap near Nanshan Village and on the left flank of the Qing army. Everyone looked at Tan Tai anxiously.

Tan Tai's face was gloomy as water, and his eyes were fixed on the middle lane. He was already clear about the crisis of his own front, the strongest right wing was pinned down on the north and south sides of Hutou Mountain, the left flank was broken, and after the middle was pressed, the whole front became tilted. The next duel will be an important part of deciding the outcome of the two sides, all in all, the opportunity of Huguang Town is in the direction of Nanshan Village, and the opportunity of the Qing army is in the middle lane.

At this time, there were two roads in front of Tan Tai, the first was to put all the reserves at hand into the middle lane and attack the Huguang Town phalanx on the opposite side with all his might. At present, Pang Yue has no reserves, as long as he can defeat the Huguang Town phalanx in the middle and kill Pang Yue, the crisis in other places will naturally be solved. However, the soldiers and horses in the middle lane must also defeat the middle lane of Huguang Town before the left wing collapses, otherwise stealing chickens will not be successful, and the consequences will be unimaginable. The second is to send all the reserves to the left flank to plug the leak, as long as they can block the flank attack of Huguang Town from Nanshan Village to the west, it may be possible to restore the original battle line, and the two sides will not be able to distinguish between victory and defeat, and most of the soldiers and horses can withdraw from the battlefield. But once you can't resist it, the consequences are also unimaginable.

Tan Tai, who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years and had experienced many strong winds and waves, felt for the first time that the development of the battlefield situation was beyond his control, and this feeling made him feel a wave of unprecedented panic and nervousness in his heart. Although it was winter now, the sweat on his forehead was coming out one by one.

"Break through the Huguang Town phalanx in the middle lane in one round?" Tan Tai asked himself again in his heart, but there was still no positive answer. After clearing all those chaotic thoughts aside, he suddenly turned his head to look at Tian Xiong: "Is it too late to line up in the direction of the left flank now?" Can you resist it? ”

"Just in time." Tian Xiong nodded, "Huguang Town is dominated by foot soldiers, and it will take a long time to form a phalanx that is used to attack. The last general also carried a large number of firearms, and when they shot at them, they also killed people. It's just that the horsemen in the last general have been withdrawn, and if the general can send another horse soldier to cover by the side, the last general will not be afraid of them in close combat. In this battle, the last general is willing to make a military order! ”

Tan Tai nodded, and ordered: "Zhenghuang Banner will send five hundred vests out and go to the middle to replace the horsemen who have been raised by Zhejiang." All the soldiers and horses raised by Zhejiang, led by Tian Xiong, went to the left flank to block the rear soldiers and horses of Huguang Town. In addition, he ordered the right flank to let He Luohui Gushan disengage from the puppet Ming army as soon as possible, and lead his troops to withdraw to the north of Hutou Mountain. ”

Ilde heard that Tan Tai had given up the attack in the middle, and couldn't help but be anxious: "General! What about blocking the left wing? also retracted the right flank, wouldn't it be better to let go of the west road and let Huguang Town attack? ”

Tan Tai said in a deep voice with a gloomy face: "The tens of thousands of elites of the Great Qing Dynasty are all here, I can't use them to gamble!" We only see Pang Yue's banner in the middle lane, but how can we be sure that he himself is really in the middle lane? If he only pretends to be false and leads our army to attack with a big banner, even if our army breaks through the middle road, the left flank of our army will inevitably collapse, and when his right flank of soldiers and horses comes over, what will we do to stop it? ”

Seeing that he couldn't move Tan Tai, Ilde shook his horsewhip without turning around, turned around and got on his horse and went back to the original military formation without looking back.

Tan Tai glanced at Ilde's back, and then ordered Tian Xiong categorically: "You immediately lead your troops to the left flank, and I will also send a thousand foot soldiers from Denglai Town to you to command." In addition, I will personally lead the soldiers and horses of the Yellow Banner to respond in the center, and you must hold on until the right flank of our army retreats to the north of Hutou Mountain. Otherwise, no matter when you return it, you will blame the ruthlessness of military law! ”

"Yes!"
