After Zhang Liao led the army to the rear, he soon encountered the Hebei Army led by Gao Lan.
After the midnight fight, the sky was already getting slightly brighter, so Zhang Liao and Gao Lan could naturally see each other.
"Commanders of Chu State, the time for revenge has come, the whole army! Charge!"
Seeing Zhang Liao coming with his army, Gao Lan did not hesitate at all.
Now, your Han army has been fighting fiercely for half a night, and your physical strength, energy, and morale are no longer in the best condition.
This is the best time to defeat the Han army in one fell swoop and reverse the entire war situation in Hebei.
"Line up to meet the enemy!"
Seeing the Chu army charging, Zhang Liao did not hesitate at all.
Now that the Han army's connection is under attack, it has indeed reached its limit.
If the attack of the Chu army guarding the Great Wall Pass cannot be blocked, then the Han army's battle will be really dangerous.
Regarding the situation in front of him, Zhang Liao was extremely depressed.
Well, suddenly the situation takes a turn for the worse. Who can bear this?
Who would have thought that the Huns would suddenly withdraw their troops?
If you withdraw, just withdraw. Why on earth are you coming back?
Yes, the Huns' charge at midnight really caught the Han army by surprise.
It was precisely because of the Huns' charge that the Han army was now forced into a desperate situation.
Fight? There are enemies everywhere.
Escape? In the vast wilderness, where can you escape without bringing any logistical equipment?
Therefore, no matter how bad the situation of the Han army is now, Zhang Liao can only choose to grit his teeth and face the Chu army in front of him.
Only by repelling them and waiting until daylight can the Han army retreat.
Yes, that is retreat.
Now that after this midnight charge, the Han army had once again reduced its strength by nearly half. The siege of the Chang'an Pass could only become a joke.
What's more, the number of Chu cavalry chasing the Huns was probably no less than one hundred thousand.
This really surprised Zhang Liao and Ma Chao.
No matter what they think, they can never imagine it.
The Chu State actually has such a powerful hidden force.
Although I don’t know why the Chu State sent out this cavalry until now, no matter what the Chu State thought, the Han army was already unable to compete with the Chu army in the north.
"Boom!"
The horses are galloping, the earth is shaking, and the knights are roaring.
The two steel torrents of Chu and Han soon collided together.
Countless knights waved their lances and sabers wildly, just to be the first to stab their enemies in the chest.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!
This sentence was vividly demonstrated in the duel between Chu and Han cavalry.
"The whole army obeys the order! Gather formation, fish scales, charge!"
After a round of hedging, Gao Lan found that the Chu army did not have any advantage. He immediately raised his spear and gave instructions to the Chu army behind him.
Under Gao Lan's order, the Chu army's cavalry rode back one after another.
Looking at the Chu cavalry who quickly gathered behind Gao Lan, the corners of Zhang He's mouth twitched slightly.
Damn it, the individual combat power of the Chu cavalry is not better than that of the Xiliang cavalry.
But this battle formation really cost the Xiliang cavalry their lives.
You must know that in current wars, because cavalry is too scarce, most cavalry operations only form group charges.
But only this Chu army, whether it is a few thousand Canglong cavalry or tens of thousands of Hebei cavalry, the first thing they do when building an army is to practice this damn formation.
The battle formation has been able to exist in China for thousands of years, and it naturally has its own reasons.
After the Chu army formed a battle formation and launched another attack on the Han army, Zhang Liao could only watch helplessly as his cavalry often faced the siege of two to three enemy troops at the same time, and then fell unwillingly.
"Damn it, don't panic, ignore their battle formation.
The whole army obeys the order and follows me! Charge!"
After suffering heavy losses after a round of collision, Zhang Liao did not continue to rely on his strength, and quickly commanded his cavalry, hoping to launch an attack from the flanks to break the Chu army's battle formation.
No way.
"Zhang Liao! Gao Lan is here!"
After discovering Zhang Liao's plan, Gao Lan naturally quit.
After several rounds of hedging, the Han cavalry was defeated.
At such an opportunity, how could Gao Lan allow Zhang Liao to reorganize his troops?
"Gao Lan! Don't stop me!"
Gao Lan's martial arts skills are not as good as Zhang Liao's, but they are not far behind.
It is simply unrealistic for Zhang Liao to capture Gao Lan in a short period of time.
Now, the Han army is being continuously divided and annihilated by the Chu cavalry charge.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Zhang Liao's eyes were filled with tears.
But no matter how entangled he was by Gao Lan, Zhang Liao could only keep roaring to express his unwillingness.
As time went by, the Han army's cavalry became fewer and fewer, leaving only endless pain and wailing sounds throughout the land, as if telling that a bloody killing had occurred here.
"Zhang Liao, you have been defeated!
It is impossible for Liu Bei to defeat the Overlord. Why are you still hesitating? Why don't you quickly dismount and surrender?
Have you forgotten how Lu Bu died?"
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Gao Lan quickly spoke out and initiated the surrender of Zhang Liao.
You know, this Liao is different from Ma Chao.
This man is Lu Bu's trusted general.
If it weren't for the soldiers under his command, Liu Bei would definitely not be surrendered and become his minion.
Now that Xiliang's army had been almost defeated by Ma Chao, and Zhang Liao no longer had any worries, Gao Lan naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to recruit him.
This is the Five Tiger General who was conferred by Liu Bei himself!
If he could be made to surrender before the battle, it would be a much greater blow to Liu Bei than killing him.
"Alas! Time is also fate!
That’s it, that’s it!
Zhang Liao was willing to surrender, but there was only one thing he wanted General Gao Lan to agree to.
These injured Xiliang warriors hope to be treated by Chu State."
This is what Zhang Liao finally wanted.
On the battlefield, his body was wrapped in horse leather.
Zhang Liao had long been prepared for the fate of these warriors.
However, Zhang Liao could not bear to watch these soldiers who were not yet dead waiting for death amidst the painful wails.
"Hahaha! General Zhang Liao, please rest assured, this is inevitable!
Please also ask General Zhang Liao to take his soldiers to the rear."
Now the Han army still has thousands of cavalry in the battle formation. With Zhang Liao's surrender, these Xiliang cavalry who went with Zhang Liao naturally returned to the Chu army.
At present, there is a cavalry unit of Ma Chao in front still fighting against the Huns and the army led by Xiahou Dun.
Gao Lan naturally had no extra time to comfort Zhang Liao.
"General Gao Lan, don't worry, Zhang Liao is from the Natural Province.
Liao is here and I wish the general a great victory!"
Saying these words with a bitter look on his face, Zhang Liao led his men to make way for the Chu army.
After this battle, the Han army's cavalry force was completely wiped out.
