Lu Zhi became increasingly anxious.

Just now, he discovered that Baima Yi, who was still invincible in the middle, started to fall apart.

Although the cavalry still carried the banner of "Gongsun", he keenly felt that something had happened to his beloved disciple Gongsun Zan.

Sure enough, the remaining white horse soldiers came back carrying Gongsun Zan's body.

His nephew Zheng Yi was carrying Gongsun Zan on his back and crying in front of him, while his son also held Gongsun Zan's hand and cried bitterly.

Lu Zhi only felt that the world was spinning.

No, no, I still have to persist, I can't fall.

Lu Zhi tried to calm down and asked Zheng Yi:

"How did Zan'er die?"

Zheng Yi looked sad and sobbed:

"When senior brother led us to rush into the crossbow formation, we were assassinated by a stray arrow and died in battle."

Lu Zhi saw Gongsun Du kneeling on one side. He recognized this man and saw that his armor was neatly dressed, so he directly ordered:

"Can Baima Yicong still fight?"

Gongsun Du frowned and said frankly:

"More than half of the losses have been lost, I'm afraid if we fight again..."

Lu Zhi had no time to listen to this and interrupted directly:

"You are the new Captain Baima, leading Baima Yicong and Hu Hanqi to reorganize. I'll give you half an hour to reorganize the central army. Can it be completed?"

Gongsun Du knew that he and Lu Zhi had no personal relationship to maintain. He could only be taken seriously by his ability and courage to do things.

So, he gritted his teeth and said:

"When the general receives an order, he must complete his mission."

Afterwards, Gongsun Du took the remaining white horse generals and moved the army outside the central army, speeding up time to mix and combine new Hu cavalry to re-form combat effectiveness.

Well, now, Lu Zhi has lost his humerus again.

Now that the east side has collapsed, the middle line can still be supported with reinforcements, but the west line is doing well, and the entire front is generally maintained.

But what about the army? Zhou Zhong had 6,000 troops on the east road, but he lost them. Gongsun Zan had 6,000 troops in reserve, and more than 1,000 cavalry were left to withdraw to the central army. About 2,000 infantry were stranded on the battlefield in the middle road. Life or death was uncertain.

.

Wei Duan, who was in the middle, originally had eight thousand troops, but now they are all gone. Later, in order to stabilize the front in the middle, Lu Zhi transferred eight battalions from his old camp and added two battalions from Gongsun Zan, for a total of ten.

The camp head went up.

On the west road, Li Min has also led his army to support Wei Jie. A total of ten thousand people are intertwined with the Taishan army on the opposite side.

In other words, out of his fifty-two battalion heads before the war, at least seventeen battalion heads have collapsed and twenty-five battalion heads are fighting. He only has ten troops left at his disposal.

It's the end of the camp.

Looking across from Lu Zhi in the distance, the Chinese army attacking the thieves was densely arranged, and it seemed that their strength had not been reduced at all until now.

This made Lu Zhi despair and lamented:

"Hejian Corps, when will you arrive?"

…

At the same time, the reinforcements Lu Zhi longed for, namely the 20,000 Hejian Corps led by Yang Xuan, Chen Yan, and Linghu Yu, were struggling to move forward in the mud.

There was no marching road from where the Hejian Legion was stationed at that time to Zhongren Pavilion, and because of the heavy rains in the previous two days, the dirt road turned into a yellow mud road, and even some places were swamps. It was already inaccessible, and every step of the way

You will lose your life along the way.

One can imagine how much hardship the officers and soldiers of the Hejian Army suffered along the way.

Naturally, not everyone persisted.

The first one who couldn't hold on was Chen Yan. He had handed over the Hejian soldiers to Yang Xuan. From this point of view, he actually had no ambition. The reason why he joined the army now was just a family honor.

Support.

But because of the rapid march on the road, he got caught in the rain and fell ill.

Finally, Yang Xuan saw Chen Yan's situation and understood it in her heart, so she left a hundred people as Chen Yan's bodyguards to take care of him, and then continued to lead the legion.

On the road that followed, the Hejian soldiers, the Bohai soldiers, and the Anping soldiers suffered greatly.

Because this road is more difficult than the eastern section.

At this time, the Jizhou area was still a primitive landform with dense forests and crisscrossing river networks.

Then, due to two consecutive days of heavy rain, the original creek swelled. The water level, which was only above the knees, suddenly rose to the chest.

If the Hejian Corps wanted to cross these waterways, they could only abandon their baggage and horses, and then join hands to wade through the water.

The process of crossing the river is full of dangers.

Because the depth of the water varies in different parts of the waterway, some reach the chests of the officials, and some can submerge over the top. And these officials of the Hejian Corps are not really human walls.

Many officers and soldiers stepped into deep water and struggled. In the process, the soldiers on both sides fell down. Except for those who gave up decisively, many of them drowned in the water.

But it was all worth it, at three o'clock on August 11th.

The Hejian Corps finally arrived less than two miles away from the Zhongren Pavilion, where the roar of the battlefield could already be heard.

Although the Hejian Corps at this time only had 13,000 men, even though they had lost all their baggage, heavy troops, and war horses, even though they had not eaten for half a day, even though they were exhausted.

But they finally arrived on the battlefield on time, and they accomplished a great feat.

When the tired sergeants saw their governors Yang Xuan and Linghu Yu walking up to them wearing muddy cloaks, everyone cheered.

Yang Xuan and Linghu Yu looked at each other, and finally it was Yang Xuan who said:

"My fellow disciples of Hejian, Bohai, and Anping. Be quiet, be quiet, and listen to me. It's far from the time to cheer and celebrate. It won't be too late when we drink the celebratory wine after the war.

.What I want to tell everyone is that you are the most loyal and tenacious warriors I have ever seen. The reason why you can go through this journey must be your loyalty to the Han Dynasty."

"When I was as old as you, I, like you, set foot on the battlefield in Xizhou. There, I won military merits and honors. But what I gained more is that I will be rewarded by the Han Dynasty.

Military merit, fierce generals and virtuous ministers must be promoted in the army. In my Han family, as long as you have made meritorious service, you can become a feudal official like me, with a position of two thousand stones. From then on, all the descendants and clan members will be favored.

."

"And now, there is such a military exploit that changes your fate just ahead. At this time, the enemy army has been fighting with Lu Shuai's main force for a long time, and the troops are exhausted. As long as we drive over, the military exploit will be to find something. Compared with this

The arduous march that Yu Er and others endured before is not worth mentioning at all."

"This is what you have paid for, but what can you get? In addition to the honor you deserve, I will let each of you return home with gold, silver and slaves. When you are old, sitting on good land and beautiful maids, your grandson will ask you

Why is our family so rich? You can proudly tell him that you earned all this today."

"Believe me, hold your sword and follow me. I will not only help you become a human being, but I will also make each of you a master."

"And all you have to do is risk your lives for the last time. Do you dare to gamble with me, Yang Xuan?"

Yang Xuan used the simplest words to inspire the deepest desires in the hearts of all officials.

That is, as a master, they also want their children to grow up to be high-ranking officials and enjoy the wonderful things in the world without any worries.

So all the officials shouted:

"I'm willing."

Yang Xuan yelled and drew his sword:

"Okay, then come with me. The enemy is in the middle pavilion, come with me to make achievements!"

So, 12,000 Han troops, with red eyes open and covered in mud, joined the Zhongrenting battlefield step by step.

Zhang Chong didn't know about this.

Then, this battle, the most serious test, arrived.

…

At any time, in any place, on any occasion, there is always a shortage of people who love to watch the excitement.

At the Zhongrenting battlefield, in addition to the protagonist's Zhenbei Army and Taishan Army, there are also a group of spectators and spectators.

They are all local tycoons from nearby Shanliao, Lihu, and the outcome of the war will affect the fate of their families.

They hid in the mountains and forests, constantly hunting lone warriors, and always paying attention to the Zhongrenting battlefield.

After all, they had never seen a major battle involving 100,000 people in their lives.

Jufan met once, and they had enough talk in their lifetime to brag about their martial prowess to the younger generation.

Especially, when they can also take out a well-preserved ring-headed sword or a rusty arrowhead, and say that these are the trophies that Nigong obtained in that great battle, it becomes even more convincing.

In short, in the deadly battlefield of Zhongrenting, this group of people watched everything on the battlefield with this mentality.

At this time, at the very edge of the battlefield, two young sons of Orion were squatting behind a large rock, listening intently to the fighting not far away.

Both of them were barefoot and dark-skinned. But one was taller and stronger, with scars on his arms; the other was shorter, and the down at the corners of his mouth was not broken.
