Yanzhi nodded seriously and said, "I'm going to go now and follow your command. However, is it really true that there will be no changes to the order to shoot at the defeated troops?"
Liu Daogui said without hesitation: "If our front army really collapses, and the enemy army chases our soldiers and wants the defeated army to counterattack the Chinese army, then your two thousand troops will prevent this kind of collapse." The last dam, I don’t care what means you use, you have to stop this tide. I just suggest the method to you. If you have a better method, you can use it. However, if you cannot complete the task, let the former army The defeated troops and your subordinates in turn disrupted the central army. Then don't blame me for not talking about merit after the war and turning my back on others. I, Liu Daogui, or my successor after me, have no other abilities. I want to imitate Zhuge Wuhou and shed tears. He still has the ability to kill Ma Su."
Yanzhi's expression became solemn. At this moment, the sight of Wei Shunzhi's disheveled head hanging at the gate of Dahang City seemed to flash before his eyes. He was so frightened that he shivered and said quickly: "Don't worry, Dao Brother Gui, I will use all means at all costs just to win this battle."
Liu Daogui said in a deep voice: "Relax, I gave this order, and I will be responsible for it in the end. And according to our military laws of the Jin Dynasty, soldiers who escape from battle and injure friendly forces are no longer brothers, but enemies. They are The one who rushes to kill all of us is no longer a comrade from before. Only by being ruthless can you let more brothers survive, do you understand?"
When Yanzhi made a serious military salute and turned to leave, Liu Daogui watched his figure go away and murmured to himself: "I hope this arrangement is really unnecessary."
To the west of Shuai Tai, two miles away, is the Jin army's rear army.
Tan Daoji was sitting in a curtain. It seemed like it was just an ordinary military tent. There was no general's flag outside to indicate his identity. But he was sitting here, staring closely at a square of more than ten feet in front of him. On the sand table, small chess pieces representing military strength and war horses are scattered all over the place, and the surrounding military officers are based on the descriptions of the scouts who keep rushing into the account to report the military situation. The battle situation is presented in front of the generals in the tent most quickly and directly in the form of war chess.
A black-faced general in his thirties with a full beard is Tan Daoji's deputy general Zhu Lingxiu. Although his name is very smart, his appearance and body like a butcher are nothing like Lingxiu. The two words have nothing to do with each other. His father and uncle were two generals of the old Beifu Army. They were on the same level as Sun Wuzhong, Liu Xi and others who were veterans of the Beifu Army. They were also killed by Huan Xuan. Zhu Lingxiu, however, concealed his name and fled to his father's and uncle's old home as a servant. He endured it until Liu Yu succeeded in establishing justice, and then he regained his identity and joined Tan Daoji's subordinates. Over the years, he fought in the north and south, and made many military exploits. He has been able to achieve this goal. Tan Daoji's deputy general was also a warrior in the Jingzhou Army who was frightened by the enemy.
Zhu Lingxiu gritted his teeth and said: "The whole front is in a state of chaos. We are still standing still here. What on earth are Brother Daogui still waiting for? Why are we still hesitating?"
Having said this, he looked at Tan Daoji: "Brother Daoji, you are the general of the rear army. These six thousand brothers are all following your orders. As long as we take the initiative at this time, we will attack Xu Daoan's place in the middle of our army." With the flanks of our troops, we will definitely be able to defeat all these attacking demon thieves. This does not require many troops to do it. As long as you give me three thousand, no, two thousand, two thousand troops, I can set off now!"
Six or seven outstanding generals were also infected by Zhu Lingxiu, and they all asked for orders: "I am also willing to go, I am willing to follow brother Lingxiu to attack, and I am willing to fight for the vanguard!"
In the midst of this passionate voice, Tan Daoji remained calm, raised his head, and looked directly into Zhu Lingxiu's eyes: "Then, Lingxiu, tell me, behind Xu Daoan's troops, the more than 10,000 people led by Xu Daofu personally What does the main force want to do?"
Zhu Lingxiu was at a loss for words: "I'm afraid this person is here to hold the formation and wait and see, or maybe he wants to supervise the battle behind Xu Daoan's troops?"
Tan Daoji said calmly: "Their front army is fighting, and the middle army is also fighting. The four or five miles long flank line can be said to be attacking across the board, but unfortunately, there is not a single soldier of the demon thieves here in our rear army. , do you think this is normal?”
Zhu Lingxiu gritted his teeth: "I'm afraid it's because the monster thieves don't have an absolute advantage in military strength, so they want to concentrate their forces and break through our way, or they want to lure our rear troops away from the solid defense line and appear outside. On the plain battlefield. Brother Daoji, I take back what I just said, I am afraid that Xu Daofu, the thief’s reserve army, wants to deal with us. "
Tan Daoji sighed: "If the demon thief wants to concentrate his troops, then Xu Daofu should eat our front army. If he wants to attack our middle army, the best way is to detour 10,000 horses to our south." flank, and then made a relative assault, attacking our central army from both sides. In order to contain the support of our front and rear armies, they should have sent out partial divisions to think they were suspicious, and pretended to attack our front and rear armies violently, so that we would not dare to support them. Yes, but now that they are fighting like this, they obviously deny these two possibilities, so there is only one answer, and that is to defeat our front army, cause the front army to break up, and counterattack the central army!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a scout hurried into the tent. He held a command arrow in his hand. Wasn't it the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army commander Liu Daogui?
The scout's voice also sounded with rapid breathing: "The commander-in-chief has ordered, please ask the rear army, General Tan, to quickly send two thousand reinforcements to reinforce the central army. The order will be sent as soon as possible. General Tan himself still needs to stick to the rear army. This formation cannot be moved lightly."
Tan Daoji stood up, stepped forward and quickly took the command, and said to the scout who stood up: "Please reply to Marshal Liu immediately, two thousand troops, set off now. Where is Xu Renjie, the bandit general?"
A brave man in his twenties stepped out of the queue and said in a deep voice: "The last general, Xu Renjie, is here, waiting for General Tan's orders."
Tan Daoji handed the commander's order to Xu Renjie's hand: "With this order, quickly mobilize 2,000 troops to assist the Chinese army. Once there, follow Marshal Liu's instructions without making any mistakes."
Xu Renjie bowed and left, and many military academies in the tent also left. The number of people suddenly decreased by about half. A trace of disappointment flashed in Zhu Lingxiu's eyes, and she murmured: "Brother Daoji is really partial. The mission of this attack was not given to me, but it was given to outstanding people."
