The first batch of Zhangwu soldiers had just arrived on the south bank of the Minjiang River and had not yet had time to rectify their formation. A mile away, a large number of loyal and brave soldiers were already coming quickly toward this side.

"Quick, fast, fast!"

Du Mingyu, a side general who acted as a vanguard, began to command and mobilize the first moment he stepped onto the land, striving to form a relatively tight line of defense when the opponent arrived. Only by blocking the opponent's attack and providing convenience for the soldiers landing in the rear, they can obtain continuous support until they completely defeat the opponent.

Without any fancy, Du Mingyu set up the simplest iron barrel formation, with the outermost side full of swords and shield soldiers kneeling on one knee and supporting their bodies. Following closely behind were spearmen, turning the entire position into a hedgehog in armor, not seeking contributions, but only trying to block the other party and win time.

"Stop!" When the two sides were apart, Bai Yong shouted loudly, and the other party's formation had already formed. If he rushed over in groups of three or five, he would be killed.

The soldiers stopped, gasped and recovered their strength. They even took out water bags and poured them into their mouths.

Bai Yong silently estimated the strength comparison between the two sides. Although the enemy currently has the advantage in numbers, his soldiers arrived faster. The situation is not good at this time. Bai Yong still patiently and let everyone have a rest.

Bai Yong arranged a cone formation, with the same large shield and long spear, with elite sword and shield hands in the middle, followed by the crossbow hands.

"All the soldiers obey orders and kill them!"

Bai Yong shouted loudly, be sure to penetrate the opponent's formation and drive them to the river to feed the fish.

"kill!"

With a neat roar, the entire team stepped on a neat rhythm, revealing incomparable firmness, approaching the opponent's iron barrel array.

"rush!"

With the opponent's feather arrow, the forward stepped towards the iron barrel formation. At only thirty steps away, Bai Yong ordered. Use the huge inertia brought by speed to quickly break through the opponent's defense. As long as the speed is fast enough, even a knife that has not opened is enough to kill people.

Du Mingyu is not a person who is a good person. His original fixed formation remains unchanged. The soldiers who subsequently landed will mobilize in the direction of the attack of the Zhongyong Army to strengthen the defense line.

The black torrent formed by the soldiers of the Loyal and Yong army crashed hard towards the opponent's iron barrel formation. With a scream, flesh and blood flew everywhere. The iron barrel formation was torn apart, and the Loyal and Yong's saber and shield hand quickly attacked.

Without the rapid advancement that Bai Yong imagined, in the torn gap, the enemy generals arranged a large number of heavy armored infantry holding shields to squeeze the living space of the knife and shield hands. If it weren't for the crossbowman who followed closely and shot at the close range, he would probably suffer a great loss.

Seeing that he could not expand the results of the battle, Bai Yong turned around and ran towards the big tree behind him, climbed up the trunk, took out the telescope, and looked for the weakness of the other party's formation so that he could dispatch people in a targeted manner.

A quarter of an hour later, another elite soldier of 300 people colluded, crashed into the opponent's iron barrel formation according to Bai Yong's plan.

The strength of the Zhongyong Army exceeded Du Mingyu's expectations, and he kept mobilizing people to surround him. In a panic, he naturally gave Bai Yong an opportunity to take advantage of it.

After paying dozens of people, the second elite broke through the opponent's iron barrel formation and began to massacre against the archers in the battle. The crossbowmen of the loyal and brave army followed closely behind and kept shooting and killing the spearmen who threatened the sword and shield hands. Without the protection of the giant shield, the simple armor on the opponent's spearmen could not block the crossbow arrows at all.

Du Mingyu kept mobilizing soldiers, intending to siege the other side, while the soldiers of the Loyal and Brave Army continued to replenish from the gap, and both sides carried out tragic developments in a narrow place.

Battle for battle.

At such a close distance, the soldiers on both sides were stalemate, fighting without reservation, and the tragic scene made Bai Yong on the tree feel very heartbroken.

Bai Yong kept rubbing the handle of the knife, and his fighting spirit became even higher, but he had to suppress himself. On the battlefield, there was no eyebrow on the sword and gun. Once he was injured or died, he would be defeated in this battle.

He took out his telescope and looked in the direction of his coming, and the last group of soldiers under his command were about to arrive.

There were less than two thousand elite armored soldiers, more than one thousand had already been fought on the battlefield, and in the end there were more than three hundred. It was the sharp blade he left for the last blow. They had to tear open the opponent's defenses so that other ordinary soldiers could effectively kill the enemy.

"Everyone, our brothers are fighting. If they are allowed to land successfully, we will be the sinners of the Zhongyong Army. I am sorry for the trust of the Marquis. I, Bai Yong, definitely don't want to see this. If it happens, it must be trampling on my body."

"We can have today all depend on the Marquis's great talent and strategy. Now, it is time for us to serve the Marquis."

Bai Yong took out the telescope and glanced at Zheng Tu who appeared in the lens barrel. Without hesitation, he handed the telescope over to a personal soldier for safekeeping. He could die in battle, but the telescope must not be lost.

"Everyone, I will fight to the death with you and others today!"

Bai Yong pulled out his long sword and pointed forward.

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

The remaining soldiers of the fourth regiment began to get restless. Although most of them did not have complete armor, this did not stop their courage.

A team of more than 2,000 people rushed towards the fierce battle.

Under Du Mingyu's mobilization, the Zhangwu army had just stabilized its formation and collapsed instantly under Bai Yong's desperate bet. Both sides were trapped in a melee. Although the soldiers of the Loyal and Yong army lacked defense, the weapons in their hands were extremely excellent, and they were not at a disadvantage for a while.

Bai Yong's force was basically at the bottom among the eight generals including Sun Sandao, who were similar to Deng Qin and Gan Yue, and was one step behind Zheng Tuyou.

Bai Yong gasped heavily and felt nervous when he returned home. He must exercise well. If Lao Cheng or Bahu were here, he would not have been like this.

Du Mingyu has long been eyeing Bai Yong. As a general, the glory of killing the enemy general in formation is the supreme temptation. Under the escort of his personal soldiers, Du Mingyu has always kept a certain distance from Bai Yong, like a dormant cheetah, waiting for the opportunity to kill with one blow.

"Go!" Du Mingyu led his personal soldiers to attack Bai Yong and others dozens of steps away. He just kept mobilizing to consume their physical strength and create a chance for one blow to kill him.

The personal soldiers of both sides fought together first. Du Mingyu slashed the personal soldiers who were blocking him with a knife and continued to kill Bai Yong.

Bai Yong, who was half exhausted, did not retreat. Although his legs were as heavy as lead, he slowly ran under the will of his will and rushed towards Du Mingyu. He clenched his blood-dropped long sword with his hands.

The scene in front of him gradually became illusory, and Bai Yong was trying hard to see more clearly.

Du Mingyu knew Bai Yong's weakness. When he was about to get closer, he turned sideways and wiped his long sword directly towards Bai Yong's neck. Facing Bai Yong's armor covered with all his body, his neck was the biggest weakness.

Du Mingyu has done it, and the other party will definitely choose to block it, so that he can take the opportunity to knock the other party with one knee and then finish it.

When the long sword approaches the other person's body

When Du Mingyu was puzzled, Bai Yong let go of his left hand holding the knife and raised his arm, directly blocking his long sword, then rolled his arms and wrapped the long sword firmly.

Du Mingyu felt that the other party was crazy, with armor under his armpits and his protective power was extremely weak. He didn't bother to think about why, so he quickly rolled up his sword and pulled it backwards.

"Swish~" Seeing that the other party's arm was about to be cut off, Du Mingyu heard the sound from his lower abdomen, and then a colic came from his abdomen, which took all his strength away.

Bai Yong grinned, ignored the blood rushing out from his armpits, and used all his last strength to turn the sword and pull it out again. Then he had no more strength to fall to the ground.

Du Mingyu covered the wound on his abdomen. He couldn't understand why his armor was cut open.

The personal soldiers rushed forward and each brought their generals to their backs and left the battlefield.

As soon as Zheng Tu led his troops to arrive, he saw Zheng Tu, who was carrying him out by his personal soldiers, immediately ordered his subordinates to bandage him briefly. The medical camp had not arrived yet and the conditions were limited, so I hope he could survive.

Zheng Tu immediately took Bai Yong's position and put most of his troops into the battle for positions.

Qian Renjun stood at a high place and looked at all this. The scale of victory was tilting towards him. All the opponent's troops had been put in. On his side, the large army was still crossing the river continuously, and their combat power would become stronger and stronger.

"General, if this continues, we will lose." The personal soldiers under his command were very anxious. The opponent's troops came continuously through two floating bridges. They had to demolish the other's floating bridge to have a chance to win.

"I don't know that it's no longer realistic to demolish the floating bridge now. All I can do is to block them here and disrupt their formation as much as possible." Zheng Tu's men had about 3,000 people, leaving a thousand to guard the floating bridge on Dazhang River to prevent accidents.

The losses of the four groups were already serious before, but now they are still intact, less than 4,000. On the other hand, the number of people on the other side is getting more and more, probably more than 8,000.

"Then we?" The personal soldiers scratched their heads. Isn't this the loss?

"I am gambling, the betting marquis and the others are coming." Zheng Tu knew Sun Yu's combat plan. Today, the Cavalry Battalion and Sun Yu's personal military battalion will definitely arrive. As long as he persists, there will be results.

If the opponent was asked to cross the river and form a formation, all three thousand cavalrymen would be unable to eat.

Zheng Tu took out his telescope and took a look. On the two floating bridges, there were still endless flags on the other side of the river. On the platform, a general stood with his guns. It should be Qian Renjun, the governor of the Zhangwu Army. This is probably the main elite of the Zhangwu Army.

As the sun grew higher, Zheng Tu became more and more anxious. The other party had more than 10,000 soldiers crossing the river, and they could not hold on for too long. The soldiers of the Loyal and Brave Army were being cut and surrounded. If they did not retreat, they would not be able to withdraw.

"General Zheng, the marquis has an order, so be sure to hold on for another two quarters of an hour." A messenger trotted to Zheng Tu and passed the order. In order to cover up, he didn't even dare to ride a horse.

"The Marquis is here?" Zheng Tu was overjoyed. As long as the Marquis is here, the matter will be safe.

"Of course, people are being organized, and the general needs to resist for a while." The messenger pointed to a small hill a mile away, and all the cavalry were hidden behind the hillside.
