Daniel Zhang desperately transferred troops from the Eastern Front, temporarily alleviating the current embarrassment. Dozens of backbone cadres and more than a hundred recruits from the pro-military battalion who were transferred back filled the battle line, so that Daniel Zhang would not collapse immediately. However, after these troops were transferred from the Eastern Front, the remaining 200 recruits were no longer the opponent of the nearly 1,000 morale-boosting Ming soldiers on the opposite side, and they were completely defeated after only a little delay, but it was not bad to be able to give Daniel Zhang such a little time to withdraw troops, which showed that Daniel Zhang's preferential treatment and equipment for them this year had not been in vain.

Relying on these infantry, Daniel Zhang continued to maintain the general flag, which allowed reinforcements to find the target of rescue. Daniel Zhang constantly lit the beacon fire, and urged Wang Mingde to come to reinforcements quickly; In order to let the reinforcements relieve himself faster, although the troops were insufficient, Daniel Zhang still tried his best to cover his comrades on the left flank, in order to ensure that Wang Mingde's passage to help was unblocked, and also to encourage those frightened colleagues to continue to resist and not abandon themselves and escape.

However, Wang Mingde's reinforcements were still missing, and after defeating the pro-army camp on the Eastern Front, the armor of the Ming army began to press from the flanks - although Daniel Zhang abandoned some soldiers to buy a little time, if Wang Mingde could not arrive, the debt would still have to be paid, and interest would have to be added.

After the northernmost Qing army fled, the Ming army behind the main battalion of Wanxian County did not pursue, but turned to follow, and when this Ming army loomed behind the flank of the main battalion, the Qing army forced to the south began to despair. A large number of unarmored soldiers and unarmored soldiers began to surrender to the Ming army, and generally unarmored soldiers were always forgiven, and armored soldiers had the opportunity to be pardoned by the victor if they did not have a blood debt.

"Hold on, hold on!" Daniel Zhang was anxious, now that the Qing army's rear road was cut off, if it collapsed, there was almost no possibility for the pro-soldiers to escape. Daniel Zhang has not chosen to break through because he is reluctant to abandon these soldiers, and now Daniel Zhang is shaken again, hesitating whether to break through to the north in a group - there will undoubtedly be great losses, but the battlefield is chaotic, the Ming army may be in a hurry to rescue Yuan Zongdi, thousands of Qing troops are scattered on the battlefield, so many factors combined, Daniel Zhang may rescue half of the personal soldiers and most of the veterans.

But another cloud of smoke was lit from the west, and Wang Mingde announced again that he would be there soon.

Now Daniel Zhang no longer wants to capture prisoners and grab booty, as long as he can relieve his pro-military camp. After seeing the new wolf smoke, Daniel Zhang finally did not choose to break through, because one accidentally could bury all the pro-soldiers, since Wang Mingde arrived in a blink of an eye, then he still held on for a moment.

……

Two miles away, Wang Mingde was standing calmly beside the wolf smoke. The Han Eight Banners were about to start shelling - Daniel Zhang tried to lure Wang Mingde into attacking to attract the Ming army, and then went to pick up the wallet himself - this attempt was easily recognized by the wise and martial Wang General Bing. During this period of time, Wang Mingde found that Yuan Zongdi's guards not only did not decrease, but continued to transfer more armor soldiers from the east, and now the number of Ming soldiers confronting Wang Mingde has increased from the initial 500 to 800.

Before the initial attack, Wang Mingde had already learned the approximate strength of Yuan Zongdi's front army from the retreating Green Camp Pass. No matter how slight Hu Wenke's resistance was, Yuan Zongdi's guards had at least reduced their strength by two or three percent because of their continuous travel, hot weather, and fatigue. Just now, the Qing army used a tiger squat to defeat about 300 Ming soldiers, and Wang Mingde estimated that Yuan Zongdi's troops were only about 1,000 armor soldiers left -- as Li Guoying's general, Wang Mingde was still very confident in his judgment.

Through a simple interrogation of the captives, Wang Mingde confirmed his judgment of the strength of Yuan Zongdi's former army, which was probably 2,000 armor soldiers, which should be all the strength of Yuan Zongdi. As for Yuan Zongdi's backup, most of the captives said that they didn't, and some people couldn't eat and fight, and there were one or two thousand armor soldiers who confessed. Wang Mingde didn't believe this, and when he heard it, he judged that the captives were talking nonsense. Since Yuan Zongdi's eight hundred soldiers were all opposite him, Daniel Zhang was facing only a few hundred Ming soldiers, even if Yuan Zongdi still had some armored soldiers, it was estimated that they were poorly equipped and demoralized recruits, and they were definitely not Daniel Zhang's opponents.

It was precisely because Wang Mingde had such a clear and thorough understanding of the battlefield that Daniel Zhang's call for help could not confuse him at all.

"Hmph, Admiral Zhang wants to pretend to be harmless to humans and animals, and even deliberately show weakness, so that Yuan Zongdi can transfer the main force to block me, right?" Wang Mingde counted all the calculations in Daniel Zhang's stomach at once, and he believed that Daniel Zhang's signal was clearly to deceive Wang Mingde into attacking, and the drums coming from two miles away were probably the rear army of the Ming army trying to relieve Yuan Zongdi. Wang Mingde knew that the Ming army was only mainly auxiliary soldiers, and there were hundreds or thousands of soldiers who were killed, and it was absolutely impossible to break through Daniel Zhang's defensive line. If Daniel Zhang was not to prevent Yuan Zongdi from breaking through, it would be good not to chase after the rear army of the Ming army.

Since Daniel Zhang had done the first year of junior high school, Wang Mingde had also done fifteen, and he did not hesitate to order the release of the signal, telling Daniel Zhang that he was launching a fierce attack to lure Daniel Zhang to take the initiative and draw Yuan Zongdi's attention back from his eyes. In addition to Wang Mingde, other Qing generals on the front also released beacons and reported to Daniel Zhang that they were advancing in high spirits, but they did not move like Wang Mingde.

At this time, the armor of the Qing army that rushed to the front of Yuan Zongdi was all combined, and there were more than 1,800 people in total, including Daniel Zhang and Hu Wenke's department, which was 4,000 green battalion armor, and if you add Yuan Jiawenbi's Han Eight Banners, it would be 5,000 armor. With 5,000 to 2,000, and two sides of the attack, as well as artillery, firearms, there are generals like Daniel Zhang and Wang Mingde and their elite soldiers, it is said that this is not an evenly matched confrontation at all, but a one-sided slaughter of the Ming army.

Even if 1,000 Han and Eight Banners did not participate in the war, the 4,000 Green Battalion would be able to win the battle against 2,000 Ming soldiers in armor. The generals of the Qing army were in a relaxed mood and had the victory in their hands, feeling that this victory did not lack their little strength. Soldiers are not willing to die on the eve of victory, and generals are not willing to suffer heavy losses in a battle that must be won. Since Wang Mingde didn't move, then the other Qing generals didn't move either, anyway, the time was on their side, Yuan Zongdi would have to flee sooner or later, since he could take advantage of the victory to chase and kill, then why did he go to fight with the beast that was forced into a corner?

At first, when they saw Daniel Zhang's signal for help, the Qing generals in the west were still surprised, but when they saw the signal that Wang Mingde was sitting quietly and raising the signal of a fierce attack, the dull-minded generals also reacted - this is Admiral Zhang deceiving us.

After thinking about this, the commanders of the siege relief troops were also very dissatisfied with Daniel Zhang in their hearts: Commander Zhang, your family has a great cause, and you are still the commander-in-chief of the former army, and winning the battle will definitely be your first achievement; But he always wants to let us bitter young generals take the lead, just now let Yuan Zongdi send troops to block us, and now he also sends a false signal to let us kick the iron plate - to take the lead, the spoils of war are not allowed, and I don't want to lose my own soldiers and horses, this former commander-in-chief of the army is too unresponsible, is it true that your subordinates are human lives, and our subordinates are not human lives?

……

The wolf smoke on the western front that was fully relieved of the siege was the biggest incentive for Daniel Zhang, just now the northwest Ming army had rushed to the high platform, but Daniel Zhang personally counterattacked with his personal guards, and forced the Ming army down the slope again, and made the other party pay more than a dozen lives.

However, after the Ming army in the east launched an attack from Daniel Zhang's northeast, Daniel Zhang could no longer maintain contact with the left flank, and he had to completely open up the western front and transfer all the forces at hand to resist pressure from the northwest and east. As the new Ming army arrived from the north joined the battle group, the friendly forces on Daniel Zhang's left flank completely collapsed, and half of the remaining friendly forces located southwest of Daniel Zhang surrendered, and half continued to retreat to the river.

"What's the use of escaping to the river?" Daniel Zhang shouted angrily and scolded the backs of the fleeing friendly soldiers: "Do you think you are all Wang Jinbao?" ”

The eight hundred pro-soldiers have been reduced to only three hundred, and after losing the cover of the flanks, the Ming army will further outflank, and then besiege Daniel Zhang from the southwest, northeast, and northwest, and the southeast is the Yangtze River, and Daniel Zhang asked himself if it was not Wang Jinbao. Besides, it's easy to jump into the Yangtze River, where to swim? The downstream is Wanxian, do you want to swim through the Three Gorges, through Yiling and Jiangling, and go straight to Wuchang to join the governor of Huguang?

"Eight lambs, I've killed Lao Tzu!"

So far, how can Daniel Zhang not understand that reinforcements are completely unexpected. After dispersing his friendly troops in the southwest, the newly arrived Ming army could go to the front line to reinforce Yuan Zongdi, and Wang Mingde may not be able to enter even if he sincerely attacked - Daniel Zhang had already guessed the true situation on the western front, and at this critical moment of life and death, the governor of Shaanxi finally realized that Wang Mingde was also a general, and he would definitely be able to deduce Yuan Zongdi's approximate strength, so he would not believe that he was on the line of life and death, and they concluded that they wanted to trick them into attacking and taking some credit - with such teammates, Daniel Zhang really wanted to cry without tears.

The destruction of the whole army, the defeat of the army, life and death are just around the corner, Daniel Zhang now wants to break through and there is not much chance, the Ming army has no pressure on the western front, and can go all out to encircle and suppress him.

"Send a beacon signal and order the whole army to attack!" After hearing Daniel Zhang's order, the exhausted guards were stunned, Hu Wenke fled far away, the surrounding friendly troops either surrendered or fled, and the surrounding Ming troops were about to rush up the high slope again, ordering a general attack? Is the order for the general attack of the Qing army, which no longer exists?

"That's right! It's the order to attack! Daniel Zhang saw the confusion in his subordinates' hearts and repeated: "Order the whole army to attack!" ”

Now that he figured out why Wang Mingde didn't attack, Daniel Zhang knew what order he should give. After this order was issued, Wang Mingde and the other troops who relieved the siege must have thought that Daniel Zhang and Hu Wenke had already killed the Ming army on the inner line, and they would not be able to grab it if they did not come in to grab the merits.

Just now, Daniel Zhang had already concluded that once the deployment and adjustment of the Ming army was completed, Wang Mingde might not be able to do it even if he sincerely wanted to relieve himself, and if the Ming army was strong, Wang Mingde and most of them would think that Daniel Zhang was no longer saved, and would prefer to save himself -- in that case, Daniel Zhang would really be hopeless.

Now is Daniel Zhang's last chance, as long as Wang Mingde crashes in, Yuan Zongdi will definitely not focus on Daniel Zhang who broke through and fled for his life, but will go all out to encircle and suppress Wang Mingde's nearly 2,000 armor soldiers, so that Daniel Zhang will have a chance to escape. Of course, Wang Mingde's more than 1,000 armor armor will definitely be in danger, because they are not facing the hundreds of remnants of the Ming army who were attacked from both sides as expected, but the 4,000 Ming army soldiers who have basically completed the assembly and have no worries.

But...... Wang Mingde doesn't care about Daniel Zhang's life or death, why should Daniel Zhang care about him? If his teammates cheat him, won't he be allowed to go back?

Thinking of the troops that had long ceased to exist and Hu Wenke and the others who had fled without a trace, after sending out the beacon of the general attack of the whole army, Daniel Zhang skillfully flew up and knocked down the general's flag, shouting at the pro-soldiers: "Escape for your life, let's see you in Chongqing!" ”
