Five thousand people quietly crossed the river, walked out along the trail, and finally gathered on a wasteland outside. Zhao Hanzhang stopped his horse and asked the scouts to go and find out the news.
The scouts kept reporting on the battle situation ahead. When she heard that the Donghai King's men had already attacked the other side and were fighting fiercely with Gou Xi's army on the other side, she gave the order to advance.
She went ahead with two thousand cavalry.
Because the battle was fierce, the King of Donghai also went to the riverside to take command personally.
The morale has finally returned somewhat, and with their sufficient numbers, the general suggested bringing out trebuchets and crossbows.
From here, they threw stones and crossbow arrows from a distance towards the other side, finally suspending the opponent's offensive. The Donghai King soldiers who were blocked in the river seized the opportunity and braved life and death to attack the shore.
They were being shot at all the time, but they also got angry. The two sides met each other in close combat and immediately killed each other.
After a group of people rushed up, it was easier for the people behind them to come up again. When Zhao Hanzhang learned the news, half of the Donghai King's people had already washed up on the shore.
She then knew it was time for them to take action.
Zhao Hanzhang shook the reins, shouted "Go", and rushed out with his men, heading straight for the Donghai King's camp.
They were a little far away from the Donghai King's camp, but the cavalry was so fast that they could see the other side's camp as long as they turned around the corner of the mountain.
Zhao Hanzhang led two thousand cavalry and killed them directly.
The Donghai King's scouts spotted them and immediately turned around to notify them.
The King of Donghai asked, "Where did they cross the river from? Why didn't you find out?"
Peng Mo on the side stamped his feet and said: "Your Majesty, you forgot, I told Zhao Hanzhang when she returned to the Yuzhou Army that she must have crossed the river. Otherwise, how come we didn't know anything and she returned to the Yuzhou Army?"
What does it mean to say this now?
Will King Donghai still admit his mistake?
Another general, Cao Wu, immediately said: "The Zhao family's army is brave and good at intervening battles. Please, Your Majesty, immediately order troops to form in front of the camp to prevent them from advancing."
King Donghai came back to his senses and immediately said: "Go quickly!"
Cao Wu took the order and left. As for the deployment of troops, he could just do it.
The cavalry was fast and quickly reached not far from the camp. There were not enough soldiers gathered, but Cao Wu was not a vegetarian. He had already organized two groups of soldiers, with spears in hand, huddled together and waited for the cavalry.
Come forward.
Zhao Hanzhang saw it from a distance, raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his horse's head and bypassed the assembled spearmen from the side, killing from the north instead.
The flag bearer followed Zhao Hanzhang without her giving orders, and the cavalry behind him quickly ran away with her.
Cao Wu frowned fiercely and immediately ordered, "Move 10,000 more troops. Two thousand spearmen will be stationed in the north and east. The rest will hold bows and arrows. Hurry!"
Cao Wu issued orders quickly, but the soldiers of the King of East China Sea were too lazy during this period. The King of East China Sea did not give them enough food. They usually lay down to save energy and had no training. At this time, the speed of gathering was a bit slow.
Even if Zhao Hanzhang bypassed the camp and went to the north, her speed was slightly faster than them, and it was such a coincidence that when she ran to the north and rushed in directly, Gou Chun was also leading the army to bypass the east.
The two groups of cavalry unexpectedly chose to attack from the north.
They were allies, but the opportunity to fight was fleeting, so Zhao Hanzhang did not say hello to Gou Chun. He only took a look from a distance and led his men to rush into the camp. Just as they were charging in, the spearmen who took the order happened to run away.
When they came over, they didn't have time to organize themselves. As soon as Zhao Hanzhang rushed in, they immediately fell into chaos.
Cao Wu knew at a glance that they had lost the opportunity, and immediately asked the archers who were running behind them to retreat. Then he asked the shield soldiers to come forward to organize a defense line, and asked the archers to fire arrows immediately regardless of whether they were the enemy or ourselves.
Without even frowning, he patrolled with a broadsword and shouted: "No retreat, form a formation, shoot arrows!"
They reluctantly huddled together and fired arrows. When the arrows fell, Zhao Hanzhang turned his spear and knocked down all the arrows. Then he ordered Qiu Wu, "Protect Mr. Fu!"
After saying that, she led the men and charged forward. Her horse jumped in mid-air. As soon as the horse got closer, the bow and arrow in the archer's hand disappeared.
Seeing his sister like this, Zhao Erlang naturally did not dare to lag behind, so he rushed forward with his men and directly tore a hole in the formation formed by Cao Wucai.
Upon seeing this, Cao Wu knew that he could no longer retreat, otherwise once defeated, it would be difficult to recover.
He held the knife in his hand tightly and shouted loudly, "Form up the formation, with the shield soldiers in front and the spear soldiers behind. Everyone is with me."
He shouted: "Attack their horses!"
There were so many of them that they could attack the smaller ones with more troops, so they might not be able to stop them. You know, it was not unprecedented. Kitamiya Jun was able to surround and kill the cavalry with a small amount of infantry.
Cao Wu is also a fierce general, but the bad thing is that these are not his direct troops. At this time, Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Chun have already killed in front of them, and it is difficult for the soldiers to fully obey the orders in the panic.
His order was correct, but there were not many soldiers to carry it out, so Zhao Hanzhang rushed over, and Cao Wu faced her directly.
Looking at the spear in Zhao Hanzhang's hand, he trembled in his heart. It was this cowardice that made him take two steps back when he used the knife to block him. Zhao Hanzhang poked the spear at such a fast speed that he was unprepared and was directly pierced.
Cao Wu's eyes widened. Zhao Hanzhang drew his spear, raised his helmet, grabbed it with his hand, raised it, and said loudly: "Your general is dead, why don't you surrender quickly!"
Some people lost their weapons in panic, some turned around and ran away, and some continued to fight with spears and swords.
Zhao Hanzhang only killed those who resisted and headed all the way towards the Donghai King's camp.
Gou Chun was only one step behind, and he and Zhao Hanzhang attacked in two directions.
And their infantry also arrived, all the way from the east and all the way from the west, just in time to confront the army formation arranged by Cao Wu.
They were unable to attack for a while, but Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Chun fought out from inside and quickly broke their formation, and the infantry immediately followed and attacked.
When the King of Donghai received the news gathered from all parties, he was furious and panicked. He quickly ordered, "Ming Jin withdraws his troops, Ming Jin withdraws his troops, let them come back to protect the main account!"
King Donghai had many people left in the tent. Seeing Zhao Hanzhang coming at him like a god of murder, he immediately retreated with the remaining people.
When Zhao Hanzhang saw it, he immediately ordered, "Charge and occupy their camp!"
Gou Chun also ordered a charge, he wanted to seize the camp before Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhao Hanzhang led his troops to drive out the King of East China Sea, preventing him from gathering the remaining soldiers behind him.
These people are all valuable assets. If they can all stay in Yuzhou, her vast tracts of wasteland will be cultivated.
Zhao Hanzhang drove him out for a while, then turned around to face the remaining soldiers who ran out of the river, and shouted loudly: "The King of the East China Sea has escaped, surrender your weapons and do not kill!"
But there were also generals who were leading the army. They could not abandon their military positions and their families and surrender, so they organized troops to break through Zhao Hanzhang's encirclement.
A scuffle broke out at the scene.
Fu Tinghan came from behind. He took a moment to look around and said to Zhao Hanzhang: "To capture the thief, capture the king first. Can you capture the King of East China Sea?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Let them keep their distance and cut off the remaining soldiers behind them before pursuing them!"
She didn't want to be dumped during the chase.
Fu Tinghan thought the same thing. He was about to lead troops to help her charge from the side. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man holding a short bow and aiming towards this direction. His heart tightened and he subconsciously shouted: "Han Zhang, be careful!"
