Chapter 454 The collision between Chu and Han cavalry
Bingzhou, Wubao.
After rushing all the way, Zhang He led 30,000 cavalry to reach the last line of defense under the Great Wall, Fort Wu, in just half a day.
"Send the order to the entire army to take a short rest and we will leave immediately!"
Looking at the land outside the pass, Zhang He felt filled with pride.
A good man should ride his horse here.
I believe that as long as a certain family can make enough achievements in this battle, its status will definitely be improved, right?
Zhang He also had trouble speaking out about Overlord's misunderstanding of him.
Ma De, I'm afraid the bones of the special judge are all broken into pieces. No matter what you say, you can't shirk responsibility on a dead man and let others look down on you, right?
Therefore, Zhang He was indeed determined to die in this battle.
If you can't clear your name, it's better to die than to live in such a cowardly way and be misunderstood by others.
"Report! General, the scouts are here to report that the Han army's forward is less than ten miles away from our troops!"
After a while, Zhang He received the scout's report.
Less than ten miles? The Han army came so fast!
A hundred miles away, it only took less than a day? Is this probably not the slightest pause at all?
The Han army was so eager that they played right into Zhang He's heart.
You are marching madly, and your physical strength must be exhausted. If you attack this matter, you will definitely be able to defeat it with one blow!
Because the Han army coerced the Xiongnu cavalry, and the two armies combined their strength to a total of 300,000 troops, they never expected that the Hebei defenders would dare to come out to fight.
This caused the Han army's forwards to not stop at all, but to rush all the way, hoping to reach the Great Wall pass before sunset.
"The whole army is ready and ready to charge with a certain family!
This battle will let these Han troops who are cooperating with foreigners know that our Chu cavalry cannot be bullied!"
Zhang He, armed with a small steel gun and fully prepared, took the lead.
"Da Chu, Wan Sheng!"
Following Zhang Hezhi's charge, 30,000 Chu cavalry mounted their horses one after another and ran wildly following the figure in front.
"Li Kan, the Great Wall Pass is not far ahead. Why don't we camp here to rest and wait for General Ma and his main army to arrive?"
The Great Wall Pass was visible to the naked eye, and the candidate as a vanguard general suggested to his companion Li Kan.
"Boom!"
Just as Li Kan was about to respond to his candidacy, dust and smoke suddenly billowed across from him, and horseshoes formed in formation.
"Enemy attack! Prepare to meet the enemy!"
There is no doubt about this.
A large-scale cavalry charge could appear on the land of Mobei. Apart from our own Xiliang cavalry and the Huns cavalry, the only one that could be present was the Chu cavalry guarding Hebei.
With the charge, the enemy troops were already visible to the naked eye.
Zhang He was overjoyed when he saw that the Han army's vanguard formation was in chaos due to the sudden appearance of the Chu army.
God-given opportunity!
"The whole army, arrow formation, charge!"
Zhang He, holding a steel gun, lined up in front of the formation, using his own body as an arrow, and launched a charge without stopping at the Han army, which was still making chaotic adjustments.
"rush!"
"Da Chu, Wan Sheng!"
"Kill! Kill the general and kill the enemy today!"
Following Zhang He's charge, General Zhang Nan, who was his deputy, did not hesitate and immediately charged forward, leading 30,000 Chu cavalry to instantly open up the formation.
"Boom!"
The war horses galloped and the earth trembled.
Because they had been marching long distances before, the Han army's forward formation was already in chaos.
Now in a hurry, it is impossible to adjust quickly no matter what.
The candidates who were urging their subordinates to form a formation suddenly felt numb when they saw the oncoming Chu army without stopping at all and directly attacking the formation.
Damn it! These Chu people dare to come out to fight. Are they so crazy?
With the confidence of 300,000 cavalry, no one in the Han army expected that the Chu army would dare to go outside the Great Wall pass to challenge, which caused the Han army's forward to fall into a passive position.
As the cavalry charged, the distance between the two armies became closer and closer, until Zhang He's point-steel spear knocked away the first Han soldier blocking his way.
The armies of Chu and Han officially began to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
"Don't panic! Brothers, don't panic!"
"Our numbers are no less than theirs! Hold on, hold on to your position!"
"Spread out, spread out quickly!"
In the chaos, the shouts of soldiers and generals kept coming.
But when the Han army heard these orders, they became even more confused.
Damn it, do you really want to stay in place and stay in formation, or do you want to spread out?
This was because the vanguard was commanded by two generals, which caused a state of confusion in the command of the Han army's vanguard.
If it is normal, one person can take the lead, one person can stand behind, and sometimes the two of them can discuss it.
But now, in this chaotic and fighting battle, who gives you time to discuss with each other?
You know, in ancient times when two armies were fighting, once they got into a melee, the so-called sincerity of command could only rely on shouting.
Only if your voice is loud enough can your soldiers hear your orders.
This is the role of the handsome flag and banner.
After all, in a chaotic situation, as long as your commander's flag is still there, then the soldiers will have a direction to charge.
Likewise, as a veteran on the battlefield, Zhang He naturally knew this.
In the melee, Zhang He could not find the leading general of the Han army's forward line.
But that doesn't matter.
A certain family can't find your general, but they can see your handsome flag!
As long as your handsome flag is cut down, the Han army will naturally be in chaos.
This is the reason why many times in ancient times, the general under his command was defeated because of the loss of his commanding flag before the general was killed in battle.
After all, how do soldiers know whether you are dead or alive in a melee? The flags are gone, and the enemy soldiers are still shouting that so-and-so is dead. Who knows the truth?
"Zhang He is here in Hejian, anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Waving his steel gun, Zhang He charged wildly at the place where the Han army's commander's flag was.
At the same time, Gao Lan and Zhang Nan, who had followed Zhang He all the way, were arranged on both sides of him, covering Zhang He's attack on the Han army's commander's flag.
"Oops! Li Kan! Hurry! Protect Shuai Qi!"
The movements of the Chu army were naturally noticed by the Han army.
Since the candidate rushed too far forward, he had no choice but to remind Li Kan loudly to protect the handsome flag.
"Li Kan of Liangzhou is here. Young children of the Chu army, dare to fight!"
Without being reminded of the candidates, Li Kan also discovered Zhang He who was charging towards Shuai Qi.
With self-restraint and bravery, Li Kan was not afraid of Zhang He at all.
Thinking about it, if this guy who looked like a general could be killed on the spot, the morale of the Chu army would definitely drop drastically.
In this way, the Han army had a chance to turn defeat into victory.
"Why don't you dare!? If you want to fight, I will fight!"
Seeing a Han general holding a big ax inviting him to fight, Zhang He opened his mouth in excitement.
I couldn't find you, but you were sent to my door?
