On August 11, when the hour was in the corner, the middle of the pavilion.

For the Han army, the situation has reached a very critical point.

The east wall fell, and the military formation arranged on the front slope before the battle faced collapse, and the Wuhuan turquoise cavalry that had just come up to support it fell apart.

Lu Zhi could never have imagined that it had only been two hours since the war began, and the war situation had deteriorated to this extent.

However, Lu Zhi also figured out something from the eager and fierce offensive on the other side.

The more anxious the battle, the more it shows that the other side is rushing for time! So what time is the other side grabbing? As long as you think about it, you will know that it must be the reinforcements of the Hejian Corps that are close to the left, and they may appear on the battlefield at any time.

Lu Zhi trusted his own judgment, which was his self-confidence as a first-rate commander of the Han family.

And the more this was the case, the less he could afford to let the front slope position collapse, so he sent his most trusted troops.

Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant.

……

On the eastern back slope, where the Taishan army could not see, there was an infantry phalanx of 2,000 men, and two battalions of cavalry troops of 1,000 men each.

This is the soldier of Gongsun Zhan, the commander of the cavalry.

Originally, he still had an infantry battalion of 2,000 people under his account, but not long after the battle, Lu Zhi was transferred to the front, and there has been no news so far.

Therefore, at this time, Gongsun Zhan's own soldiers were actually 4,000 people.

At this time, Gongsun Chan and his white horse attendants were sitting or lying on the slope to rest, listening to the noise and fighting of the battlefield in front of them, they were all chatting as usual.

Gongsun Zhan was also lying reclining surrounded by several horsemen, chewing a weed in his mouth, and chatting with Gongsun Du, a brother of the clan on the side, without saying a word.

Gongsun Kang is eleven years older than Gongsun Zhan, and he is almost not a generation in this life. But I don't know why, Gongsun Chan is very kind to his clan brothers, maybe because they are all border people who advocate violence in their bones.

Like Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Du's background is not very good, and he comes from Xuansu County, the most remote part of the empire, so it can be said that he has no upper-class connections.

But Gongsun Du has a good nobleman, that is, the Taishou of Xuansu County at that time, and also the uncle of the main line, Gongsun Yan, because this prince has a son named Gongsun Leopard and this Gongsun Du was born in the same year, and Gongsun Du's nickname is also called A Leopard, so Gongsun Yan loves him and treats him as his own.

And since Gongsun Du has this good father, his whole life has been different. was first promoted by Yin as a lang, and then made a Jizhou assassin history, all of which were noble public offices.

But Gongsun Du is brave and sharp in his bones, so when he was doing the history of Jizhou, he investigated a wave of lawlessness in the state, and then offended the scholars in Jizhou, and finally could only go back to his hometown in Liaodong to avoid trouble.

This time, Lu Zhi was a soldier, and Gongsun Du scattered all his family wealth, sold all the family property left to him by his father-in-law, and organized a thousand troops.

I thought I could start a battle, but who knew that during the battle of Dingting, I was defeated and lost, and the foundation I had accumulated was lost like this.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan, who was also from the Gongsun family, pulled him along, not only arranged for him to come under his command, but also ordered him to lead a cavalry of 500 people alone.

Gongsun Du was also ruthless, arranging his two sons, one eighteen and one sixteen, into the team, and also dispatched his henchmen to assist Liu Yi and Han Zhong to lead the troops.

In this way, Gongsun Du controlled the cavalry of 500 people.

Gongsun Du was so supported by Gongsun Zhan, so although he was eleven years older than Gongsun Zhan, his tone was quite deferential, and what he said was also very useful to Gongsun Zhan.

At this time, he was asking Gongsun Zhan a question:

"Bo Jue, how far are we going to fight for Lu Shuai in this battle?"

Gongsun Chan frowned, and heard the meaning of Gongsun Du's words. Obviously, his clan brother has begun to doubt the necessity of working for Lu Zhi.

That's right, that's how people's hearts change. Man is not wood, and there is no permanent loyalty.

With the development of the war, the visible defeat has been revealed, and the generals in the army are thinking, should we find a way for ourselves?

Thinking of the Ma Tengbu who took the initiative to surrender before the war, seeing its safe surrender made people's hearts even more floating.

Gongsun Zhan was about to give some reason, at this time, the sound of horses' hooves was urgent, and a knight from the gentleman's camp rushed from the Chinese army, all the way without stopping, galloping.

Gongsun Zhan's eyes were good, and he could see at a glance that this Ling Qi was Zheng Yi, the son of his uncle Zheng Xuan.

He immediately realized that the situation on the battlefield ahead had reached a very critical point, otherwise Lu Shi would not have sent Zheng Yi to give orders.

So Gongsun Chan ordered loudly:

"The whole army is ready, get on the horse."

The order spread from person to person soon spread throughout the camp.

When Zheng Yi came panting, he saw that his senior brother Gongsun Zhan and the whole army were already wearing helmets and armor and getting ready.

Regardless of the feeling of his senior brother's Mingrui, Zheng Yi conveyed Lu Zhi's verbal military order to Gongsun Zhan:

"There is an order, order your troops to immediately support Wei Duanbu in the middle lane and defeat the enemy in the front."

This command is actually a bit problematic.

Gongsun Chan is the reserve army of the right wing, and once the friendly forces on the right wing of the front slope are not supported, it stands to reason that he should be dispatched, which is also what Gongsun Chan thought.

But now Lu Shi wants him to lead his troops to support the middle lane? So what does the mid lane own backup do?

This order was conveyed unclearly, and Gongsun Chan learned the lesson of his old boss in the Battle of Jize, and had to understand the intent of this military order.

So he asked Zheng Yi, who was on the battlefield for the first time:

"Why did Lu Shuai ask our army to support Wei Duanbu on the front slope."

Fortunately, this question was answered by Zheng Yi, who had been by Lu Zhi's side and knew a lot about the information Lu Zhi had obtained. So he explained:

"Wei Duan's current army line is no longer supported, and the Wuhuan Tu cavalry that supported the past has also been defeated. It is urgent for your troops to stabilize the rout of the Chinese army. ”

Gongsun Chan asked again:

"I'm the reserve of Zuoji, I went to support the middle lane, what if the left flank position is lost."

Zheng Yi pursed his lips and replied honestly:

Lu Shuai's plan was to use the senior brother and the reserve of the Chinese army to support the Chinese army on the front slope, and open the offensive in the middle in one fell swoop. Lu Shuai found that only the Middle Route Army was the strongest in the three route armies currently attacking our department. Only by gathering more forces can the situation be opened here. ”

Gongsun Chan thought of a lot, some of which Zheng Yiming said, and some of which Zheng Yiwei said.

Gongsun Chan understood what the teacher meant, and at this moment, there was a heart-to-heart connection between their teachers and students.

Then Gongsun Chan no longer asked Zheng Yi more, but gave a rare loud speech to the righteous servants under his command:

"Brethren, this time I will take you to the battlefield again. But this time, I'm not taking everyone to live, I'm going to take everyone to die. My Gongsun Chan will die here, and your royal gate will die behind me. You, Zou Dan died behind us. ”

Gongsun Zhan's first sentence was depressed, and he continued:

"The country has been in turmoil for two years, and the Han family has been in decline. This battle is related to the survival of our Han family, if our death can be exchanged for the life of the Han family, then what does it matter if we die? Why be afraid of death? In Xingyang, we have brothers who died. In Julu, we have brothers who have died, and in Yecheng, Handan, Jize, Sanheting, Dingting, and these places, where is there no blood of our children? ”

At this time, Gongsun Chan himself was emotional, and he said sadly:

"We have shed too much blood, so if this war, we will use our deaths to stop the fighting, so that more people will not die again. Why if we die? At least my Gongsun Chan is willing to die! Would you like to? ”

The officers of the three armies thought of the robes who died in battle and the children of their families, and they burst into tears and shouted:

"I wish to die with the general!"

Gongsun Chan laughed, pulled out the ring knife, scratched a wound on his little finger, and then smeared blood on his forehead and swore:

"We are righteous and obedient, where righteousness is, life and death are followed."

Seeing that the lord will be like this, the rest of the generals are like this, these people include Gongsun Zhan's friends Liu Weitai, Li Yizi, Le Hedang, and the white horse generals Zou Dan and Wang Men, and even Gongsun Du also took his sons Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong, as well as the generals Liu Yi and Han Zhong to swear.

The three armies are united in their hearts and are willing to fight for their lives with Gongsun Zhan.

Before leaving, Gongsun Zhan asked his friend Liu Weitai with a smile:

"Lao Liu, can you calculate whether our battle is auspicious or vicious?"

Liu Weitai is a well-known warlock in the north, and he once ordered Gongsun Zan to have the destiny to be the lord of the north.

Now before the final charge, Gongsun Chan couldn't help but ask him about the good luck, and Liu Weitai replied with tears:

"It's just death."

Gongsun Zhan's face turned pale rapidly, he never expected that this Liu Weitai would give him such a result, and he didn't even want to lie to him, he laughed miserably:

"It's good to die, it's good to die. My grandson Zan is no more than a martial artist in the borderland, and he is favored by the Han family, and Lu Shi loves him, thinking that he is a humerus. should have been repaid by death. This battle is not won, there is only death. The so-called, jade can be broken but not changed to its white, bamboo can be burned but not destroyed. Even though I am dead, I can still leave my name in the world. Good, good, good! ”

After speaking, Gongsun Chan held the lance and shouted:

"Hold the lance!"

The 2,000 cavalry, including 800 white horse retains, all heard the rumors and held their horse lances, and for a time a forest was erected here.

Gongsun Chan gave another order, and all the soldiers gave the order:

"Formation!"

After speaking, Gongsun Zhan took his white horse to carry the white horse flag and took the lead in organizing a horizontal team.

After this series of actions, all the officials of the White Horse began to chant:

"Slow down."

Subsequently, the whole army of nearly 2,000 cavalry lined up in a horizontal line of forty rows, and slowly went uphill at the speed of their horses.

It's slow, it's slow.

At this time, in the queue of Bai Ma Yicong, the young Xie Jun of Youbeiping marched in the long queue. He was in a position leaning inside, so apart from hearing the hustle and bustle of the battlefield in front of him, he could only see the robes in front and to the left and right.

But Xie Jun is not afraid, he is surrounded by his trusted brother Paoze, and in front of him is their trusted commander, why be afraid?

And now, they just need to steady their horses, calm their impatient and anxious hearts, and wait for the commander's final call to charge.

Thinking of this, Xie Jun unconsciously looked at a tall warrior in front of him on his left, his name was Wang Men, and he was the white horse general of their department.

In fact, not only Xie Jun, but all the knights in their row were staring at the royal gate with blazing eyes, waiting for his order to charge.

In order to keep the horse's physical fitness in the most critical charge, the cavalry generally used strolling to accelerate to a fast step, and then to a full run, and only sprint with all their strength before engaging the enemy.

The sound of snorting horses lingered in the ears of Bai Ma Yicong, and gradually, a nervous emotion began to emerge in their hearts.

It turns out that they are not as fearless as they think.

Suddenly, a rapid horn sounded, and then Xie Jun's vision was empty, and they had already run up the slope and began to rush up and down the slope.

And after this horn sounded, Wang Men, who Xie Jun had been paying attention to, suddenly shouted:

"Shoot, charge."

With the order of the king's gate, the white horses in the five rows on his side put down their horses one after another and began to rush along the ridgeline.

Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong cut in from the right side of the middle lane, and the target of his charge was the Flying Leopard Army Assault Cavalry that had just killed Wuhuan Captain Gong Qichou.

At that time, the Flying Leopard Army was preparing to reassemble, but was suddenly attacked by the sudden White Horse Yicong, and suffered a big loss unprepared.

Xi Shen's use of soldiers is the same as his character, he is not brutal and does not harden.

Seeing that he was blocking the passage of the enemy's elite cavalry here, Xi Shen didn't care if there were still friendly troops behind him, and directly ordered the Flying Leopard Army to withdraw to the periphery of the battlefield and regroup.

Is Xi Shen's approach right? Yes, because that's what the military regulations for cavalry are.

But when he did this, he ignored his allies, which can be described as cold-blooded.

With the initiative of the Flying Leopard Army to retreat, Bai Ma Yi began to attack the Iron Spear Army that had just fought hard along the ridgeline.

Although Zhu Ling fought bloodily several times, he could not save the rout of his subordinates.

The attack of the White Horse Followers was so fierce that they shouted:

"Where righteousness is, life and death follow each other."

Every few knights dared to charge into a military formation. While these people are not afraid of death, they also give full play to the riding and archery skills of the warriors of Northern Xinjiang.

They all dared to ride their horses in front of the battle, and shot at the soldiers of the spear army, and their courage was extraordinary.

In the last fierce battle, Zhu Ling's calf was shot, and he was finally carried off the battlefield by the soldiers.

And once the Iron Spear Army retreated and left the battlefield, the Iron Forest Army and the Iron Armor Army on the side began to stop marching and began to form a large formation to stabilize the formation.

The cunning Bai Ma Yi was never reckless, they let go of the entire Taishan army formation, and began to attack the crossbow battalion behind them.

But on the way, they were intercepted by Li Fu's Tianxiong Army and Yan Gang's Tianwei Army who were rushing in, and not far away, Li Hu and the Flying Dragon Army were also running at high speed.

For a while, the situation changed, and Gongsun Chan found that his troops were surrounded by enemy troops.

But at this time, how could Gongsun Chan retreat, he stepped forward, holding his double-edged spear, and shouted:

"The Great Wall of the Han Dynasty, the White Horse is righteous; Where righteousness lies, life and death follow each other. Kill me, all of you! ”

The righteous servants shouted in unison:

"Kill!"

Then they followed Gongsun Zhan and crashed into the Taishan army below.

The white dragon and the yellow dragon are fighting in the wilderness, and their blood is yellow.

Brethren are approaching the end of the month, so the monthly pass supports it.
