When Pang Yue came to the Chinese army with the whole battalion, he happened to see thousands of cavalry divided into two groups and headed towards the two wings, and then looked at it, the nearly 5,000 standard battalion cavalry around Huang Degong had only a few hundred cavalry left.

Sure enough, Zhang Yunli said that Huang Degong really sent out his standard cavalry! And really transferred the Flying Tiger Battalion to guard the Chinese army! While Pang Yue sighed in his heart about Huang Degong's style of employing troops, he couldn't help but be amazed at the accuracy of Zhang Yunli's analysis of the problem.

Seeing that Pang Yue was leading the team over, Huang Degong didn't say anything, just nodded and turned his attention to the front line again. Now that the war situation is urgent, he has no mood to greet him.

Seeing that Huang Degong, who had always been rough and hearty, had dark clouds on his face at the moment, and his brows were tightly locked, Pang Yue felt very uncomfortable. But he did not forget the number of courtesies, and immediately clasped his fists to salute Huang Degong and Lu Daotai, Du Hongyu and others beside him, and then urged his officers and soldiers to hurry up and line up.

As Huang Degong's standard cavalry joined the battle group, the Jiannu cavalry fought hard a few times before being suppressed by twice the Ming army's reinforcements, although it still continued to cause a lot of casualties to the Ming army, but its own casualty figure was also rising step by step. And without the help of the genuine Jiannu, the results of the fake Tartars of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty have also been shrinking. Gradually, the Ming army stabilized the situation on both flanks.

However, in the middle of the road, after more than an hour of fierce fighting, the Ming infantry still failed to resist the attack of Jiannu and Han Baqi, who had superior forces, and the first two infantry phalanxes were all broken. Huang Zhen's strict military discipline and strict training played a role at this time, although the Ming officers and soldiers who lost their unified command could not help but be a little flustered, but they saw that they still had more than 20,000 robes behind them as their backing, and Huang Degong's Chinese army Daxu was still erected, so they did not completely lose the will to fight, but spontaneously formed a small circle formation to fight with Jiannu with difficulty. Jiannu and Han Baqi broke through the first two phalanxes, leaving part of the troops to contain and kill the Ming stragglers, and then continued to attack the last two phalanxes.

The battle had been going on for more than two hours, and the soil on the battlefield had already been soaked with blood, and the corpses of soldiers in different uniforms had been spread on the ground. Although the sound of the fighting between the two armies was not as angry as at the beginning, it still seemed hysterical, and everyone was persevering, waiting for the moment when the enemy would collapse and their own side would win.

Huang Degong and Nikan sent almost all their elites out, and Huang Degong only had more than 10,000 men left in his hands, and Nikan only left 3,000 Manchu Han Eight Banners and the defeated traitor army that had just been gathered behind. However, judging from the current situation, it is obvious that Nikan has the advantage, and Huang Degong's nearly 40,000 horse infantry troops are entangled by less than 30,000 Manchu and Han Eight Banners, and there are even signs of exhaustion. Although Huang Degong still has more than 10,000 reserves available, it also includes thousands of tired soldiers, and it would be good to be able to exert half of his usual combat strength. What's more, in addition to the more than 3,000 Manchu and Han Eight Banners in Nikan's hands, there are more than 10,000 defeated soldiers of Liu and Zhang Suobu who can be used as cannon fodder, although these people's combat effectiveness is not very strong, but at the critical moment, it can not be the last straw that crushes the camel.

Under Jiannu's Chinese army, Nikan looked at the battle situation in front of him, and his brows gradually relaxed. After such a long period of observation, he has quickly figured out the details of Huang Degong's department, although Huang Degong's soldiers and horses are more daring to fight than other Ming troops, and their combat power is also a little stronger, but at most it is only the level of the Han Eight Banners, and it is still incomparable with the Eight Banners of Manchuria. What's more, Huang Degong's department has now become a lone army, but he can get the support of Duoduo and Azig at any time. At the thought of this, Nikan's determination to win became even more determined. …,

The battle continued, and the two phalanxes behind the Ming army also began to crumble, but Jiannu's physical strength seemed to have reached the end of the crossbow, and he could not expand the results of the battle, and the soldiers on both sides were instinctively and mechanically waving the soldiers in their hands to attack or block. On both wings, the horses under the crotches of the cavalry were also exhausted, and the two sides gave up the extremely laborious charge together as if they had tacit understanding, and instead moved the horses in small steps to fight with the enemies around them.

When the sun was in the west, the gongs of the troops were heard one after another from the Chinese army of Jiannu and the Ming army. The daytime battle finally came to an end, and the officers and men, who had reached the limit of their physical strength, retreated as if they were amnesty.

In the evening, Huang Degong was in the army's big tent.

The senior generals of Huangzhen almost gathered together, including the general soldiers Deng Linzu, Yang Biao, Yu Yongshou, Qiu Yue, Du Hongyu, etc., and the deputy general soldiers Tian Xiong, Ma Degong, Lin Zhongyu, Su Yangxing, Wang Guocheng, etc.

Huang Degong on the handsome seat had a heavy face, just now, the scouts sent out a few days ago reported that the traitor obedient Wang Kong Youde's subordinate general Lian Guoan had led 7,000 horse infantry troops and several red-coated cannons to help, followed by nearly 10,000 Mongolian Eight Banners, which would probably arrive in Wuhu tomorrow afternoon.

After learning the news, Huang Degong suddenly gasped. Although known for his bravery in battle, he was not without self-knowledge. He knew very well that if this reinforcement joined up with Nikan, he would have no chance of victory, and probably had little hope of a successful retreat. Although there were nearly 80,000 troops under his account, Huang Degong was very aware of the strength of his men and horses, and almost all of the experienced and capable soldiers were brought to Wuhu, and most of the 20,000 horses who stayed in Ogigang to protect Hongguang were recruits recruited a year ago. And looking at the entire south bank of the Yangtze River, there are not many decent Ming troops that can come to support at all.

Faced with this situation, most of the generals in the tent frowned, and the atmosphere was very dull.

"Marshal, the construction of slaves is powerful, and our army should join up with the soldiers and horses of Ogi Port as soon as possible to make plans. Moreover, the holy driver is also in Ogigang, and now people's hearts are fluctuating, in order to protect the saint's integrity, the marshal should also return to the division to stabilize people's hearts. Seeing that no one spoke, Lu Daotai took the lead in breaking the silence.

Huang Degong has always respected Lu Daotai's opinions, and seeing that his meaning is basically the same as what he thinks, he has made a preliminary decision in his heart.

"What do you think?" Huang Degong asked the generals around him again.

Deng Linzu said: "What Mr. Lu said is extremely true, today our army and Jiannu have been fighting hard for a day, and the soldiers are exhausted. If we wait for the Jiannu reinforcements to arrive, the situation of our army will inevitably be even more critical. ”

"Yes, handsome. Now all the towns in Jiangbei have fallen, but only my town has a bloody battle with Jiannu. Even though our army is working hard to meet the enemy, we are flesh and blood after all, and it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, so it is better to avoid the enemy's edge for the time being, and go to Ogi Port first to meet the rest of the battalions and then deal with Jiannu. Yang Biao also expressed his opinion.

After that, several more generals expressed their opinions in turn, and the main views were similar to Lu Daotai's.

For the first time in all these years of being in charge of the army, Huang Degong found that his subordinates' views were so consistent. It's no wonder that the situation is already there, and those who can do it are not fools, and the burden on their shoulders does not allow them to make irrational moves.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Huang Degong decided to leave the camp at dawn tomorrow and go to Ogigang, and then explained all kinds of details.

*********

In the early morning of the next day, the army of Huangzhen, which had gone out of the city to meet Jiannu, joined the defenders in Wuhu City, and then began to retreat in the direction of Ogigang in alternate cover.

Nikan, who heard the news, stroked his palms and laughed, "Huang Chuangzi is no more than Erer", but he did not order the whole army to pursue, but only sent a force of 3,000 Han Eight Banner cavalry to follow him from a distance to monitor. Although he was confident that he would defeat Huang Degong, he was even more confident that he would be able to win in a shorter time at a smaller cost after joining the reinforcements. …,

*********

In the marching column of the Flying Tiger Battalion, Pang Yue watched the Ming army column without seeing the beginning and the end, and listened to Shi Youliang's constant complaints.

"Alas. The handsome is too, and he didn't give us a chance to play! Seeing that the brothers in the other battalions were injured one by one, I was embarrassed to say hello to others! If you want me to say, what's so great about this Jiannu? Why don't we turn around and go back and kill him for a few more rounds, afraid that he will beg? The head fell off the bowl and the big scar! ……”

Shi Youliang was talking energetically, and he was unprepared for Lu Qiwu to interrupt: "I said big man Shi, you have been talking all the way." Everyone's ears are grinding out of calluses! That is, adults can still listen to you patiently. Since you are so unafraid of Jiannu, why don't you go back by yourself, and no one dares to stop you, right? ”

Shi Youliang suddenly glared at the bull's eye: "You black monkey dare to laugh at me!?" Let's go back together, I want to see who doesn't dare! "After that, he went to pull the reins of Lu Qiwu's mount.

Lu Qiwu hurriedly clamped the horse's belly and took a few steps away from Shi Youliang: "Don't, I still have to abide by the military regulations!" I don't dare to leave the camp without an adult! Besides, I'm not as rough and thick-skinned as you are a big man, and I can't stand a few sticks. ”

"Alright, stop arguing!" Pang Yue stopped the two, and said to Shi Youliang, "Don't say it Lao Shi, I know your thoughts." Don't worry, I'll give you a chance in a short time! But you'll have to do what I say. ”

"My lord, where are you talking about that? Can I still disobey your military orders? But, my lord, when do you mean 'then'? ”

"Soon!" Pang Yue's tone was both affirmative and a little helpless, because the knowledge of his previous life had already told him: Digang will be Huang Degong's last stop! At that time, after Huang Degong was killed by a hidden arrow, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Huang Zhen will completely lose their backbone, and most of the generals will also be disheartened or even fall into despair, or commit suicide or surrender, and the Southern Ming Hongguang Dynasty will come to a complete end.

In his previous life, Pang Yue had also fantasized countless times about returning to a certain dynasty to guide the country and turn things around, but at least this time he had completely understood that it was impossible for him to change too much. There is no cheat finger, no powerful cheat system, and all you have is some unreliable prediction. With these foreknowledge and the status of a newly promoted general who is not even qualified to participate in high-level military meetings, it is still too difficult to turn the situation around in a short period of time. Perhaps, it won't be long before that tragedy will be brutally repeated in front of you. However, now, there is no other way to go, no matter what the outcome is, let's fight first!
