While the rescue of the reserve force was blocked, the first phalanx that Huangfu Song managed to organize, that is, the small phalanx, had been completely defeated by Cheriji's 400 armor cavalry and Ma Dai's 5,000 iron cavalry. The more than 10,000 infantry who formed a small phalanx were either killed by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and fell to the ground, or fled like crazy.

The second phalanx that Huangfu Song hastily commanded and established, that is, a large phalanx composed of more than 40,000 infantry, was also too chaotic and fragile, and was attacked by Ma Chao's trident, breaking through three large gaps. Countless Xiliang iron cavalry poured into the phalanx from it, causing even greater casualties among the chaotic officers and soldiers.

Among the ten thousand armies, Huangfu Song could see that Ma Chao's banner was running towards his banner, getting closer and closer. If he was captured by Ma Chaosheng, then Huangfu Song would be disgraced.

Huangfu Song looked around and roared: "Jin Ma Chao is going to kill the old man, resist it!" Resist! ”

Bao Hong twisted his scalp and said, "The last general will definitely do his best!" ”

Huangfu Song knew that relying on the Chinese army alone would not be able to turn the tide of the battle at all, and said angrily: "Why hasn't Yuan Peng's reserve team come to the rescue, has he already secretly taken refuge in Jinmachao?" Or did he see that the situation was not good and had already fled? ”

Bao Hong shouted: "That's not the case, the car rides, it's because Jin Ma Chao sent another trilogy." They rode quickly between the Chinese army and the reserves, formed a strict formation, and stopped the reserves. The Xiliang sergeant is not afraid of death, and the elite is incomparable. Yuan Peng can't break the formation for a while, so he can't rescue me! ”

Huangfu Song muttered: "If Yuan Peng can't rescue our Chinese army, then we will be completely defeated." ”

Bao Hong was surprised and said, "That's not right! Riding a car, Fang Cai will carefully estimate the Xiliang army of Jin Ma Chao. He was already overstretched to deal with the central army, the left and right flanks of our army. It is necessary to leave the last bit of troops to hold the battalion, and it is impossible to have a division to deal with the reserves of our army! ”

Huangfu Song thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "How much time does it take to ride a fast horse from Sanguan to here?" ”

Bao Hong said: "It's only two hours at most!" ”

"Two hours! Those enemy foot soldiers who fell from the sky must be the defenders of Sanguan! "Huangfu Song understands everything now.

"What?" Bao Hong was puzzled.

Huangfu Song regretted it and said: "Jin Ma Chao must know that if the reserve team is not removed, it will be difficult to win this battle." And the number of the Xiliang army was already less than our army, so he did not dare to divide thousands of cavalry to deal with our army's reserves. Therefore, he had to give an order to the defenders stationed at Sanguan, a hundred miles away, to hurry to deal with the reserves. And from Sanguan to Jieting, it will take two hours at most. Jin Ma Chao needed time, so he deliberately dragged out the camp and set up the formation, and specially asked the old man to talk, in order to win those two hours for the Sanguan defenders. After two hours, he was sure that the defenders of Sanguan had arrived near the battlefield and were ambushed in reserve before they could officially start a battle with our army. ”

After listening to this analysis, Bao Hong couldn't help but gasp and said: "If this is the case, then Jinmachao's calculation is too subtle and too sophisticated!" ”

Huangfu Song sighed helplessly and said, "The old man failed to see through this plan and lost to a child who was not crowned......"

Bao Hong said anxiously: "Ride the car, now is not the time to regret it, look-"

Bao Hong pointed in front of him, Huangfu Song took a look, and saw that the tridents of Ma Chao's department, Yan Xing's department, and Pang De's department had penetrated into the center of the phalanx less than fifty steps away from Huangfu Song's handsome banner. The soldiers in the large phalanx suffered heavy casualties and were on the verge of complete collapse.

Bao Hong hurriedly shouted: "If you don't urge Yuan Peng to come to the rescue, the last phalanx will also be defeated!" ”

Huangfu Song looked back and saw that Yuan Peng was still in the distance, leading the reserve team to fight a fierce battle with the Sanguan defenders who were blocking the front. The formation formed by the defenders of Sanguan has never been breached.

Huangfu Song shook his head and said, "It seems that Yuan Peng is no longer able to rescue me." ”

Bao Hong's heart was like ashes, and he said to himself: "Zhou Shenbu on the right wing has been fighting in the encirclement; The Chinese army was again overshadowed by Jinma; The reserve was again blocked by the defenders of the scattered passes...... Could it be that all the 117,000 people of our army will die on the battlefield in this battle? ”

Huangfu Song suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "It's not too late to make amends." Even in a situation as critical as it is now, it is not without remedies! ”

Bao Hong grabbed a life-saving straw and said ecstatically: "What a remedy, say it quickly!" ”

Huangfu Song said: "Dong Zhuo's department on the left flank is only facing 5,000 iron cavalry and 800 first camps. Even if the first camp can defeat Dong Zhuo's 3,000 Flying Bear Army, but only 5,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, I am afraid that it will not be able to fully suppress Dong Zhuo's remaining 17,000 cavalry. Dong Zhuobu can be of great use! ”

"So how do you use it? Ordered Dong Zhuo to lead his troops to rescue our Chinese army? ”

Huangfu Song shook his head and said, "No. Dong Zhuo's department is different from the reserve, the reserve is behind our Chinese army, while Dong Zhuo's department is on the left of our Chinese army. If he comes to the rescue of us, he will just give Jinma the opportunity to unite the central army and the right wing of the Xiliang army, and encircle our central army and the left wing in a big way. ”

"So what to do?"

Huangfu Song glanced at the panicked Bao Hong and said, "Didn't the Sanguan defenders leave Sanguan and be here?" ”

Bao Hong understood it and said, "Oh! The last general understood that the chariot cavalry wanted to order Dong Zhuo to lead the left flank army, leave the battlefield, and attack towards Sanguan. In this way, Jinma Chao has two options. The first is to sit idly by and let Dong Zhuo lead his troops to take the unguarded Sanguan, and then break into Liangzhou through the Sanguan. In this way, our army still inevitably ended in defeat, but Dong Zhuo's troops invaded the territory of Liangzhou, and even took advantage of the gathering of the Western Liang army here in Jieting to capture Jincheng in one fell swoop.

Second, Jin Ma Chao was to defend the pass and prevent Liangzhou from being breached. I had to give up and continue to attack our army. Lead the main force to pursue Dong Zhuo's department. In this way, although Liangzhou can be protected from being broken by Dong Zhuo's troops, our army just avoids being defeated and annihilated, and retains its strength. ”

Huangfu Song breathed a sigh of relief happily and said, "Since you understand the old man's intentions, why don't you send Dong Zhuo an order quickly?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The last general will give the order. ”

………………………………………………………………

What Huang Fu Song didn't know was that on the left flank and Dong Zhuo, there was also a fierce battle that was no less than that of the Chinese army, the right flank, and the reserves.

On the right flank of the Xiliang Army, Zhonglang led Zhang Xiu and Captain Zhi Yuanduo to lead 5,000 iron cavalry to rush up, and Dong Zhuo's 20,000 elite cavalry were mixed up.
