    Seeing a large group of soldiers arriving on the hillside, Wang Shangli took it for granted that they were all his belated subordinates.  At this time, the sound of fighting behind the mountains on both sides did not stop, but the sound was slightly lower than before. It was obvious that the four thousand Western troops had controlled the battlefield situation, but they were not in a hurry to destroy the enemy, but divided their forces to support themselves.  So the battle continues.  At this moment, a red square battle flag appeared on the top of the mountain. Wang Shangli glanced at it unconsciously, and suddenly realized something was wrong. He quickly pulled his gaze back and looked again.  Yes, that is a rectangular battle flag of the Chu army, which is completely different from the pennant of the Western army.  "Idiot! He even let the Chu thieves come over. This battle is getting more and more chaotic!" Wang Shangli cursed angrily. The four thousand Western troops were too careless to support him and did not completely block the Chu army.  Now that he was stabbed hard from the side and back by the opponent, he would definitely suffer heavy losses.  No, no!  They all seemed to be in the same group. Could it be that the hundreds of soldiers on the hillsides on both sides were all Chu troops?  !  As if in reply to Wang Shangli, as the first battle flag appeared, several more square battle flags appeared on the top of the mountain one after another. Behind the battle flag were more soldiers. The fastest ones in front had already rushed down the hillside, enough to see  Knowing the style and color of their armor and uniforms, Wang Shangli finally determined that these soldiers who rushed down were all Chu troops and enemies!  "My sons, follow me to fight!" Wang Shangli was shocked and did not bother to delve into the reason. He commanded his troops to go forward to fight. The current situation is very dangerous. The hunters seem to have turned into prey. In order to avoid the defeat of the entire army, he will do whatever it takes.  We must also block this wave of enemy attacks.  Attack!  On the hillside on the north side, the suppressing soldiers were like a group of brisk goats, jumping down the hillside, waving their swords and guns at will, killing the auxiliary soldiers of the Western Army.  These auxiliary soldiers just wanted to intercept the Chu army's defeated troops. They were distributed in groups on the hillsides on both sides, just in front of the mouths of the Zhenjun soldiers. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of them were knocked down. The other auxiliary soldiers  The soldiers threw down their swords and guns and fled down the mountain desperately. The Zhenjun soldiers did not bother to pursue these useless auxiliary soldiers. While rushing down the hillside, they gathered into several groups and launched an attack on Wang Shangli's right wing under the leadership of the officers.  On the mountain ridge on the south side, the Ningzhou soldiers were also not slow. They also quickly went down the mountain while completing the gathering of troops. After rushing down the hillside, they immediately launched an attack and attacked Wang Shangli's left wing with all their strength. The Ningzhou soldiers originated from the anti-Qing righteous soldiers in the Shogunate Mountains.  , many of them were bandits like Xiong Lichun, and were as good at mountain warfare as the Zhenyu soldiers. This time they marched thousands of miles into Guizhou and were named by Wang Kefan to be transferred to the Western Expeditionary Army.  The Zhenyu soldiers and Ningzhou soldiers are the mountain special forces of this era!  They had just cooperated with the friendly forces and easily broke through the interception of four thousand Western troops and rushed to support Tan Xiao. When Tan Xiao saw the friendly forces arriving, he also launched a counterattack at the same time. Several people surrounded Wang Shangli from three directions and beat him hard.  He was beaten until he cried out in agony.  "Why are the thieves so ferocious! Oh, Tan Xiao has at least five thousand no, six or seven thousand elite soldiers. Where did he mobilize so many soldiers and horses? Is Guiyang planning an empty city?" Wang Shangli, as a general of the Western Army, faced the Chu Army  He was very familiar with the intelligence. After seeing the flags of Chen Youlong and Bian Xiang, he knew that they were elites who were good at mountain warfare and were the absolute main force in the Western Expedition. At this time, the fighting behind the mountains on both sides had not stopped, indicating that except for  The three armies of Tan Xiao, Chen Youlong and Bian Xiang, as well as many Chu troops behind the mountains on both sides, estimated that Tan Xiao's total force strength far exceeded his expectations.  He still has more than 4,000 troops on hand, which is about the same as Tan Xiao, Chen Youlong, and Bian Xiang combined. However, after the hunter became the prey, his morale was obviously worse. He was constantly being suppressed by the Chu army and fought and retreated, unable to stabilize the situation.  Stay in position.  Because this is a narrow mountainous area, some tactics commonly used on the plains cannot be used. The two armies formed a U-shaped battle line where they met, and they rushed back and forth to kill each other. In comparison, Wang Shangli's troops were more concentrated, so the battle line was relatively thicker.  The army surrounded him from three directions: south, north, and west. Although the battle line was thinned, it was a pincer attack from three sides. He clearly had the upper hand, and Wang Shangli was helpless.  It can¡¯t go on like this!  Wang Shangli ordered fireworks and rockets to be set off to signal the friendly forces behind the mountains on both sides to move closer to the main force. At the same time, he ordered the more than 3,000 soldiers on the river bank at the foot of the mountain to come immediately to join the battle. He also knew that the Chu army had ships and could come from there at any time.  Landing at Nanminghe, but the current situation is critical, we can no longer let the more than 3,000 soldiers sit aside as spectators. Besides, when Wang Shangli comes, since Tan Xiao has brought so many troops, most of them have already marched out, and the Chu army has not  Sufficient troops will then land from Nanming River.  In addition to mobilizing his own troops, he also gave Liu WenxiuSend a signal and ask for help from the Chinese army.  Wang Shangli believed that the Chu army had obviously regarded him as the main target. Zhou Guodong's five thousand ambush troops were just to contain Liu Wenxiu. Tan Xiao's side was the main force of the Chu army. Under the current situation, Wang Shangli felt that he could still hold on.  , but it is difficult to turn defeat into victory. If Liu Wenxiu can send more than 5,000 reinforcements, he can switch from defense to offense, eliminate Tan Xiao in one fell swoop, and win this battle.  Fireworks shot up into the sky one after another, colorful and each has its own meaning.  The more than 3,000 subordinates on the river beach were the first to respond. They raised fireworks to tell him that the entire army would immediately return for reinforcements. Not long after, several fireworks were also raised in the direction of Liu Wenxiu's Chinese army, telling Wang Shangli that 2,000 reinforcements had been sent.  , and also ordered him to send people to the Chinese army to report the latest battle situation to Liu Wenxiu.  The information that fireworks can convey is limited. Liu Wenxiu saw that Wang Shangli was asking for help and gathering his troops. He also heard the faint sounds of fighting drums. He knew that the scale of the battle here was not small, but he did not know what happened. Liu Wenxiu  At this time, the 75th Division was attacking with all its strength, and there were not many mobile troops on hand. Only the two thousand reinforcements sent by Wang Shangli were sent back.  Two thousand is just two thousand. Wang Shangli didn't complain. With these two thousand reinforcements, he could compete with Tan Xiao. Even if he couldn't win, it was not difficult to protect himself. The only thing that made him feel a little uneasy was the two sides.  The four thousand Western troops behind the mountain never responded, and the sound of fighting became even more intense.  "How many soldiers does Tan Xiao have? Could it be said that he still has the strength to launch an attack behind the mountain, and Zhang Wu and the others are already in a hard fight?" Wang Shangli originally speculated that since Chen Youlong and Bian Xiang came to support Tan Xiao, they would stay behind.  There are definitely not many troops behind the side of the mountain. Even if the four thousand Western troops cannot destroy the enemy for a while, it is easy to break away from the battle and move closer to themselves. However, after a long time, not only have they not seen their shadows, they have not even contacted them.  Not a single firework was set off, indicating that the fighting there was very fierce. The generals of the Western Army who led the team may have gone into battle in person and were busy fighting.  "Send the order, counterattack the Bian bandits on the south side, and join General Zhang Wu behind the mountain." Wang Shangli had four thousand troops in his hands, which could be sustained in a short period of time. He could even launch a counterattack in one direction by concentrating his strength. He thought for a moment  , decided to place the breakthrough point on Bian Xiang on the south side, not to defeat the opponent at once, but to repel him to connect with the friendly forces behind the mountain.     kill!  Wang Shangli personally led a thousand elites into the battlefield on the south side and started a fierce battle with Bian Xiang's Ningzhou soldiers.  The combined strength of Tan Xiao, Chen Youlong and Bian Xiang was roughly the same as that of Wang Shangli. Although they clearly had the upper hand, it was not enough to surround the opponent. Wang Shangli concentrated his forces and attacked fiercely. Bian Xiang immediately felt a little difficult, and the battle line was pushed back and rotated.  , twisted and turned into an irregular L shape.     kill!  Bian Xiang resolutely broke with Xiong Lichun back then, and he was also a stubborn character who would rather break than bend. At this time, he should have retreated slightly instead of fighting Wang Shangli, but he refused to give in and put the last reserve team into the battle, leading his army to charge.  , after a tenacious fierce battle, the L-shaped front was pushed back to the U-shaped.  "Bian thief is indeed fierce. At least a team of scouts rushed out." This back-and-forth battle did not last long, but the casualties on both sides were considerable. Wang Shangli lost more than 200 people, and Bian Xiang lost more than 200 people.  It should be about the same. Although the Western Army is an elite force that has experienced hundreds of battles, if the loss in a battle exceeds 20%, the morale of the army will be seriously reduced. Now, half of the casualties have been lost in a single battle. Wang Shangli was in pain.  Some dare not fight hard.  While the two armies were fighting, a group of scouts broke through the Chu army's interception and were almost climbing to the top of the mountain. Wang Shangli decided to let the soldiers take a rest and wait for the scouts to find out the battle situation behind the mountain before making the next decision.  The team of scouts went around in a circle, avoiding the Chu army, and successfully climbed to the top of the mountain Suddenly, they turned around and ran down the mountain again, running towards Wang Shangli, stumbling and panicking, two of them  One person even fell down, and Wang Shangli hurriedly stepped forward to help him. When he was still far away, the scout captain at the head waved his hands and shouted at Wang Shangli.  "Master Marquis, something bad has happened. General Zhang Wu is besieged by thieves and is about to lose his support!" "Huh? How many soldiers and horses do the Chu thieves have?" Wang Shangli asked in astonishment.  "The Chu thieves have about three thousand elite soldiers, and General Zhang Wu only has more than a thousand soldiers left. They have been divided into two groups by the thieves and are fighting hard. Please send troops to rescue as soon as possible." The scout captain was quite sophisticated, simple and simple.  In one sentence, the battle situation was clearly explained.  "Why do the Chu thieves have three thousand more elite soldiers? Could it be that they fell from the sky!" Wang Shangli was greatly surprised. If the situation behind the mountain in the north was the same, wouldn't Tan Xiao's strength exceed 10,000?  This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world, a joke that is not funny at all.
