The veteran regiments flanking the new troops that were running away began to stabilize their positions and reinforce their lines to prevent a complete collapse of the front. They likely aimed to rally the retreating soldiers, instill confidence, and maintain the overall defensive structure. By doing so, they sought to hold the ground and regroup for a potential counter-offensive, drawing on their experience to manage the chaos.
