"Proton is incompetent! Inar is useless! Illic walked up and down the watchtower, shouting and swearing. Unexpectedly, in less than half a day, the two wings were broken by the Song army, and his army formation was isolated into two parts.

Asir looked outside the city and suddenly said, "King, now that the Song army is meeting in the middle, aren't we divided into two parts?" Great King, isn't the part in front of you already surrounded by the Song army? The front hasn't been attacked yet, and if they do, then—"

Iric was stunned, looked up, and remembered that the front barracks where he was were surrounded, with the rendezvous of the Song army in the center. After being silent for a while, he said in a low voice: "Could it be that this is what Song Jun wants to do?" ”

After speaking, I looked carefully at the layout outside, and suddenly a bad feeling rose in my heart. Black Khan had a total of 70,000 soldiers and horses, and the Song army's assault and rendezvous on both flanks divided the entire military camp into two parts. There were more than 30,000 people in the back, mainly from Suleiman, and nearly 40,000 in the front where Erik was located. The Song army had about 10,000 people in the middle, and was attacked by the two Black Khan formations in front and behind at the same time.

If the Song army in the center held firmly, and the army in front attacked in time, it was possible to wipe out the 40,000 people who were surrounded in front, and Illik would have nowhere to escape. Without the main general, how long can the Black Khan army behind hold out?

With more than 40,000 troops, first surrounded the enemy with 40,000 people and isolated more than 30,000 people, the Song army's heart was also too big. Normal fighting, this is impossible to do, and the 10,000 people in the middle will definitely be eaten. But now it is different, the Song army has guns and cannons, and the 10,000 people in the middle can form a complete front, separating the two parts of the black sweat further and further. And as time went on, the artillery that fell behind was slowly pulled into the formation, which became more difficult to hit.

Thinking about the whole situation, Ilik slapped the head of the city suddenly: "It's not good, the Song army may just want to divide our army and eat it part by part!" Immediately issued an order, ordering Tobak to lead his soldiers and attack the Song army in the center. Remember, let him concentrate his forces and don't be afraid of the dead! As long as we squeeze out the Song army in the middle, we still have a chance to win! ”

Asir listened to the order, turned around sharply, and went to tell Tobak himself. The current situation, if the Song army is allowed to gain a foothold in the middle of the Black Khan camp, if the Song army attacks head-on, it will be troublesome. The Song army in front did not attack, but it was not necessarily that they did not have the ability to attack, and they were just waiting for the opportunity.

Tan Chong stood on the watchtower, looking at the situation of the battle ahead. When he saw the Song army on the left and right flanks converging, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and said to the deputy general beside him: "The two armies in front will meet, and divide the Black Khan Army into two parts." If they can hold their ground in the Black Khans this afternoon, we will attack with all our might tomorrow morning! Under the castle in front of us, the younger brother of the Black Khan King lives, a big fish! ”

The adjutant general said: "If we catch this big fish, we should have made the first contribution in this battle!" ”

Tan Chong shook his head: "That's not necessarily the first work, the big work always can't run." You immediately ordered the army to choose a gun position in front of it, and the artillery was ready to transport the artillery. We don't need a rush to attack, the artillery can keep up. When the time comes, the artillery bombards, and the infantry protects the artillery. When the Black Khan formation was scattered, it was time for the infantry to attack in a big way. From the meandering road to the Western Regions, there is no big war in the first entry, this may be the biggest battle in the Western Regions! ”

At this time, the sun has passed the middle of the sky, and there is a warm feeling shining between the sky and the earth. After a morning of fighting, the soldiers and horses on both sides were a little tired, and the battle became sparse. There were occasional movements in the Black Khan's army, which was apparently preparing for a larger counteroffensive.

Seeing that the front gradually quieted down, Pan Jie let out a sigh. Inserting the steel knife in his hand into the sheath, he only felt physically and mentally exhausted. I sat down on the ground next to me and rested for a while, looked at the troops next to me, and walked over.

Wei Liangtao was instructing the army to prepare in the afternoon, and when he saw Pan Jie coming, he hurriedly saluted.

Pan Jie said: "Not long after I advanced, I couldn't see Li Conglin, and it was changed to be commanded by you." What about Li Conglin? ”

Wei Liangtao said: "Commander Li was unlucky, and soon after advancing, he was shot by the enemy's arrows and unfortunately died. ”

Pan Jie was taken aback: "I saw that the Black Khan army was not attacking fiercely, and I thought that there were no casualties in the army, but I didn't want Commander Li to go." In this way, your army is more wounded than ours. In addition to Commander Lee, how many other casualties were there? ”

Wei Liangtao said: "Seven people died, and more than a dozen people were injured. At that time, the morale of the army was a little shaken, but after a good morning, the morale of the army slowly stabilized. To be honest, an army of several hundred people, less than twenty casualties are nothing. ”

Pan Jie nodded, fighting at this time, the morale of the army is extremely important. A few tenths of a casualty is indeed nothing, but when it first came into contact with the Black Khan's army, the round of arrows was a little scary. However, later, the Song army had a neat lineup, and the Black Khan army had no chance to shoot arrows.

The two chatted for a while, and in the morning attack, the casualties of the Song army were really not many, and the military formation was still very neat. Taking advantage of the slowdown of the enemy's attack, each is replenishing supplies. Firearms require guns and ammunition, and attacking in the morning consumes a lot. An artillery piece caught up in the rear and was added to the army.

After stopping for more than half an hour, a horn was heard in the Black Khan army, and a large number of troops from the Iric division in front of him rushed up.

Pan Jie was taken aback and said, "I thought it should be the Black Khan army in the rear attacking, why did the front come?" ”

As he spoke, he ran back to his formation to prepare. The war is together, the attack in front, and the back will not be idle. At this time, the Black Khan was already facing the place of life and death, and the attack was bound to be fierce.

The artillery that the Song army had already put in place was aimed at the Black Khan army in the rear, and it turned out that it was the people in the front who attacked first. Panjie's men were divided into nine platoons, three of which were an army formation, one for the front half, one for the back half, and the other as a reserve.

This time, the Black Khan army attacked extremely fiercely, facing the artillery fire of the Song army, no matter how many people died, regardless of the ground, they rushed forward. The Song army was in the middle of the attack between the north and the south, and there was no room for maneuver, so it could only fight to the death with the other side.

After repelling several attacks, the Song army also suffered some losses, and just as Pan Jie was thinking about adjusting, he saw the Black Khan army in front rushing up as if it was dead. Rows and rows of soldiers fell to the ground, and the soldiers behind them still poured in like a tide. The three platoons of soldiers fired several rounds of gunfire, but this time the Black Khan army did not retreat, but rushed straight up, only five or six steps away from the Song army.

Pan Jie saw that the situation was not good, and shouted: "The first shift listens to the order, each end the bayonet, and fights with the other party!" The top of the third class! ”

Everyone promised. The three rows of soldiers at the front raised their bayonets and shouted, and they fought with the black sweat soldiers who rushed up. The original reserve team immediately loaded their ammunition, raised their guns, and pointed them at the crowd in front of them.

Pan Jie followed behind the team fighting with bayonets, and when he saw an opportunity, he stepped forward with his sword. This time the fight was extremely fierce, Pan Jie couldn't feel the passage of time, his eyes were red, and he just led his men to fight. I don't know how long it took, but the enemy who rushed up could not break through the defense line and retreated slightly. Pan Jie let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly retreated with the rest of the people, and was pushed up by the reserves.

Bringing back the wounded, Pan Jie counted the soldiers, and the team of 100 people lost more than 30 people, which was the largest loss in the battle for so long. I knew in my heart that now was the most critical time, as long as I withstood the opponent's final counterattack, the enemy would be powerless.
