"What about East Road? Lao Lu has two whole battalions in his hands, and he has also strengthened the cavalry of a thousand corps, why has the east road not progressed for a long time? Pang Yue said again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, white smoke rose from the battlefield, and the smoke from the firearms of both sides blurred the vision. Pang Yue raised the clairvoyant mirror and tried his best to look in the direction of Nanshan Village and Liufang, but he couldn't see anything clearly. All kinds of tidal noise and shouts were mixed together, and it was difficult to judge the progress of the battle from the sound.

Zhang Yunli was about to answer, and two Tang horses ran over from the east. Zhang Yunli personally got off the lookout car and went up to meet him, and immediately returned to the platform after listening, with obvious excitement in his voice: "Lao Lu sent someone to report that most of the Tartar cavalry on the east road has been pinned down by the 1st Thousand Corps of the Second Cavalry Battalion, and the infantry of the Green Battalion and the infantry of the Zhenglan Banner have been defeated and retreated in the field battle, and now most of them have retreated to Nanshan Village. The left flank of the Tartar line has been poked out by the 3rd Brigade! ”

Pang Yue suddenly let out a sigh of relief, a smile involuntarily floated to the corners of his mouth, and after suppressing the excitement in his heart, he looked at the map next to him. Zhang Yunli quickly revised a few markings on the map according to Tangma's report just now, and at this time, the Gangfeng Battalion had advanced to the west side of Nanshan Village, and the Third Brigade was equivalent to poking a hole in the Qing army's left flank defense line and gradually severing the connection between its left flank forces and the center. In the center, the 2nd Brigade also pressed the battle line forward, attracting the Qing army's forces in the middle and forcing it to shrink the battle line back by some distance. On the west road, the right wing of the Qing army was still fighting fiercely with the First Brigade in the area of Hutou Mountain. The entire Qing army front has shown an inclination from southwest to northeast.

"How is the battle for Nanshan Village?"

"The Tartars set up artillery in the village, and the armor soldiers of the blue flag were all engaged in the front-line infantry battle, fighting to the death. Lao Lu had already sent all the 1st and 2nd Battalion Corps of Yongding Battalion to the top, leaving only the 3000th Corps to line up outside the village to defend against the Tartar cavalry. The battle between the enemy and the enemy was fierce, but the casualties and pressure of the Tartars were clearly greater. Even if our army can't take Nanshan Village for a while, the right flank of the Tartars will not want to retreat. ”

"What are the reserves in Tan Tai's hands right now?" Pang Yue looked at the map, scratched his index and middle fingers on it a few times, and asked.

"There are probably soldiers and horses with two yellow flags, soldiers and gunners from Zhejiang and Denglai Town, Shandong Green Camp, 10,000 people. However, considering that the Tartars are already tight in the middle and east roads, and the main force on the west road cannot be recovered for the time being, Tan Tai will definitely use reserves to plug the leak, and the strength of his reserves will be further weakened. ”

Pang Yue stood up straight, reached out and patted the railing of the lookout, trying to calm his tone: "In other words, our opportunity has come?" ”

Zhang Yunli nodded affirmatively, with an obvious tremor in his voice: "That's right! The left flank of the Tartars was broken, most of the cavalry were pinned, and most of the infantry were trapped in Nanshan Village, and the Third Brigade only needed one Yongding battalion to immobilize. His subordinates thought that the Gang Feng battalion should turn to the west to attack with all its strength next, and Tan Tai would definitely send troops and horses to block it, so that the reserves in his hands would be weakened again. At this time, we put in the new force of the second line, broke through the Tartar front from the gap opened by the Gangfeng battalion, and directly hit Tan Tai's Chinese army commander's banner. As long as Tan Tai's Chinese army is defeated, the entire front of the Tartars will be routed to the west, and the main force will be blocked in front of the mountains on the west side of the battlefield, and our army can be completely annihilated in one battle! ”

Pang Yue looked in the direction of Hutou Mountain, where thick smoke billowed and the shouts shook the sky, and the battle was still fierce. At this time, he suddenly felt a burst of unprecedented excitement. He had waited too long for this moment to come.

"Order, the Nanchang battalion is divided into two halves, and the half is with the Taishan battalion as a left flank assault group, supporting the left flank in the direction of Hutou Mountain, under the command of the 1st Brigade, and launching a counterattack in the direction of Hutou Village after stabilizing the left flank. The specific forces are assigned by Lao Liu himself, but the main force of the right wing of the Tartars must not be allowed to retreat in his hands, otherwise the military law will be ruthless! The remaining artillery of the Agni Battalion was all strengthened to the Second Brigade, and told Lao He that from now on, he would fight me as hard as he could in the middle lane, and attract as many follow-up troops as he could to the Tartars! ”

Zhang Yunli's hands trembled slightly, and he quickly recorded Pang Yue's order, handed it to a staff officer of the Central Military Department under the watchtower, and gave a few words. The staff officer got out of the lookout cart and called two other staff officers and a few Tang horses, and the group divided into three divisions and headed for the headquarters of the Taishan Battalion, the Agni Battalion, and the Nanchang Battalion.

At this time, only the most critical east road was left, and the reserve in Pang Yue's hand still had the trap camp, the second and third thousand corps of the second cavalry battalion, and half of the Nanchang battalion, totaling more than 8,000 people. But he didn't give another order, but said to Zhang Yunli with a smile: "For the rest of the orders, let us give them personally!" ”

After Zhang Yunli was slightly stunned, his excited tone was incomprehensible: "The subordinates are waiting for this moment!" ”

......

The battalion headquarters of the Taishan Battalion, the Agni Battalion, and the Nanchang Battalion all sounded the sound of military trumpets, and thousands of officers and men all stood up and began to form a formation under the guidance of the command flag and the officer's command. The loud military horn was accompanied by the roar of guns coming back from afar, and the tense and solemn atmosphere filled the entire rear formation.

Pang Yue and Zhang Yunli, as well as a group of staff officers and personal soldiers, rode their horses and ran towards the trap camp on the right side of the Central Military Headquarters. The officers and soldiers who were sitting on the ground waiting to rest saw Pang Yue running past the front of the formation and stood up one after another.

A gust of north wind blew, and the white smoke that filled the battlefield was slowly drifting south. At the camp headquarters, a military flag with a red background embroidered with a gun and shield was whirring in the wind mixed with faint white smoke.

Pang Yue stopped his mount in front of the camp flag, and Cui Shoucheng ran over and saluted: "Handsome." ”

"Cui Shoucheng!" Pang Yue stared at him for a moment and then said loudly.

"Here!" Cui Shoucheng subconsciously responded. At this time, he had roughly guessed what Pang Yue was going to say to him, his eyes were full of excitement, and his hands clenched into fists were trembling slightly. Behind him, the staff officers of the camp headquarters who were standing straight all had similar expressions.

"I've got a mission for you!"

"Please show me!"

"The remaining strength of the trapped camp, the second and third thousand corps of the second cavalry battalion and the Nanchang battalion is the assault cluster on the right flank of our army, which is under your unified command, and immediately break through the Tartar front from the gap opened by the Gangfeng battalion on the east road, and crush its army as quickly as possible. When the Steelfront Battalion joins up with your troops, it will also be under your command. ”

"Understood! What else does the marshal command? ”

"Ditch any bells and whistles, as long as fast, accurate, ruthless! Can you completely annihilate the enemy army, in one fell swoop! After Pang Yue finished explaining, he asked again, "Do a good job, Lao Cui, the Han compatriots who have died at the hands of the Tartars for decades are watching us from the sky." ”

"Please rest assured! Your subordinates will definitely escort Tan Tai in front of you personally! For the sake of the Han family, for the honor of Huguang Town, and for the thousands of compatriots who died! Cui Shoucheng's eyes flashed and he shouted loudly.

Pang Yue nodded.

Cui Shoucheng saluted, turned around and jumped on his mount, and ordered the battalion staff officers on standby beside him: "The whole battalion is a whole team, and the flag should be answered!" Order all 1,000 corps to march with the battalion flag in a marching column and advance to the location of the Gangfeng Battalion on the East Road. In the marching sequence, the 1,000th Corps was in front, the 2,000th Corps was in the center, and the 3,000th Corps was delayed. ”

"Yes!" The staff officers of the battalion headquarters responded in unison.

......

In the area where the camp was on standby, the rallying horn sounded, and the voices of the officers at all levels ordering the whole team were passed down layer by layer, and it became especially loud at the level of Chen Blind.

Ding Liehu moved his hands and feet slightly, and like the other soldiers in Shizhong, he kept adjusting his position with his comrade on the right as a reference. The broken steps of the four thousand men rolled over the flat ground like bursts of thunder, and rows of fine armor and sharp blades surged and undulated, dazzling in the sun.

With the wave of the battalion flag, the military flags at all levels trapped in the camp quickly responded to the flag layer by layer, and when the queue was finished, the response flag was also over. The 1,000th Brigade headquarters first sounded the drumbeat, and then the layers of queues began to move forward one after another. Not far away, the 2nd and 3,000 Corps of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion and the Nanchang Battalion, which had completed the whole team, were also heading towards this side, moving together with the battalion flags of the trapped camp.

"Huzi, let's help you avenge it together!" When Ding Liehu walked forward with the queue, someone on the left suddenly said softly, the voice was very subtle, and it seemed that only he could hear it clearly. He didn't tilt his head and knew that it was Wu Changjiang Yidou, and when he didn't know how to respond, the same soft voice came from the right: "Huzi, let's help you avenge together!" ”

Ding Liehu was stunned, nodded slowly, tried to widen his eyes to prevent tears from flowing out, and his pace of progress became unprecedentedly calm and firm.

......

"General, Fulge has been repulsed, and an infantry battalion in Huguang Town is turning to the middle, and he asks the general to send troops to rescue as soon as possible." The position of the Qing army's central army, Zhenghuang Banner, the first class Lazhang Jingdun, reported to Tan Tai with all his might.

"Rubbish!" Tan Tai turned his head and shouted, "Tens of thousands of men and horses, no less than 3,000 horsemen, and a large number of firearms, and they are guarding according to danger, and they can't be stopped in less than two hours in the face of the two infantry battalions in Huguang Town!" What the hell is he doing?! ”

Tunbai explained in a low voice: "When the infantry battalion of Huguang Town came to attack, Fuerge resisted in the village with one of them, and sent troops and horses to outflank them from both sides of Nanshan Village. However, in addition to the two infantry battalions, there was also a cavalry of more than 1,000 people on the right wing of Huguang Town, which was extremely brave and restrained most of the cavalry on the left wing of our army at once. The remaining horsemen and the infantry attacking on the other side had already broken through the flank of a phalanx in the front row, but who knew that the two rows of the infantry battalion of Huguang Town in the back also rushed up. Their firearms are too sharp, and their soldiers are not afraid of death. Fuerge's losses were greater, and he couldn't resist them. ”

Tan Tai was even more furious: "I have already told him not to attack rashly!" Why didn't he listen?! Who does he think he is?! Guan Mafa is reborn or Yue Wumu is reincarnated?! ”
