Chapter 258: Zhang He in Adolescence
The two ambushes and soldiers and horses of the Bingzhou army rushed out from the side of the Xuzhou military camp, the one on the left was Xu Huang, and the one on the right was Zhang He, who supervised the army on behalf of Yuan Shao in the Taoshang army.
As two of the five good generals in the eyes of later generations, Zhang He and Xu Huang are naturally quite proficient in mastering the timing of battle.
And the middle of the Xuzhou Army, the main force of Xuzhou, which had long been ready to go, was also under the leadership of Xu Chu, and went straight to the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou because the situation was out of control and in a panic for a while.
Wei Xu, who commanded the front of the Bingzhou Army, was caught off guard and could not stabilize the situation, and the front of the Bingzhou Army fell into a panic for a while.
In the middle army formation of the state army, Zhang Liao Pegasus personally reported the battle situation ahead to Lu Bu.
"Wen Hou! The soldiers and horses of Wei Xu in the front were ambushed by the Xuzhou army, and Wei Xu's soldiers were trapped by the soldiers and horses of Tao's three roads! There is a pit in front of the Xuzhou military camp, and the impact of our army has been organized, so it seems that the other party has been prepared! β
As soon as Lu Bu heard this, his anger suddenly rushed to his brain.
was defeated on Yuan Shao's side for a while, but Yuan Shao was the head of the Kwantung princes, so it would be okay if he lost to him...... Now even the vertical man surnamed Tao dares to calculate himself.
The Kwantung princes, don't you really treat this general as a bully!
"Gao Shun, Hao Meng and others are in the rear! Zhang Liao, you and Song Xian and others will lead the Chinese army to the front with this general and defeat the pottery thieves! β
"No!"
Under the dispatch of troops by LΓΌ Bu and Zhang Liao and others, the Chinese army of the state army was quickly divided into two, Gao Shun and others held down their positions in the rear to prevent accidents, while LΓΌ Bu, Zhang Liao, Song Xian and others personally went to the front to support Wei Xu and fight against the Xuzhou army.
On the battlefield at this time, Wei Xu's front vanguard army was ambushed by the Xuzhou Army's three-way soldiers and horses, and fell into chaos for a while, but it allowed Tao's Xuzhou Army to take advantage of the opportunity.
However, the Bingzhou army is worthy of being a strong army in the world, and it is by no means comparable to Yuan Shu's new army.
Under the organization of Wei Xu, the front of the Bingzhou Army began to gradually hold its position, and launched some appropriate counterattacks against the Xuzhou Army, gradually stabilizing the situation and slowly moving the situation back.
Xu Huang wielded a big axe to clash back and forth in the Bingzhou army, and the Bingzhou army quickly stabilized the formation in the chaotic situation, which was really much beyond Xu Huang's expectations.
At this moment, Xu Huang, although the battle axe in his hand was still waving non-stop, slashing and killing the enemy without fear, his heart had already begun to worry about the situation.
The tiger and wolf soldiers of the state army are completely different from the Yuan Warlock soldiers defeated by their own side last time in the Wet Whisker Dock, in terms of combat power and immediate response!
Although their own side is surprising, it does not seem to be able to win, and if this situation continues, it will be easily defeated by the counterattack of the state army.
Xu Huang's tactics were decent, and he personally led the army to suppress his own position, and pushed forward without hurry.
Fighting against the powerful Bingzhou army, Xu Huang did not dare to take risks easily, even if it was an ambush battle.
Fight steadily, preserve your strength, even if you don't win, you can't lose big, this is the most appropriate royal tactic in Xu Huang's heart.
Men who are approaching their prime, generally do things like this.
But Zhang He, who was opposite Xu Huang, didn't do it at all.
Zhang He's age is younger than Xu Huang, and his fighting spirit and enthusiasm are also stronger than Xu Huang's.
The most important thing is his desperate desire to make meritorious contributions!
Adolescence has not yet ended
Now in Yuan Shao's Dazhai, Zhang He is a representative of a new generation of young generals, and he is in the limelight.
Even Yuan Shao personally admitted that Zhang He's combat level would inevitably slowly catch up with Yan Liang and Wen Chou in the future, and become the middle stream of Hebei that could be ranked with Liyi.
Such a compliment can be described as a great encouragement and honor for Zhang He.
Yuan Shao can afford to look down on himself too much, he is really not blind.
But correspondingly, this reward also made the young and vigorous Zhang He's desire to prove himself even stronger.
This point makes Zhang He's desire to express himself particularly strong in battle.
Xu Huang saw the strength of the state army, and Zhang He naturally saw it, but unlike Xu Huang's matter, Xu Huang fought steadily and advanced step by step; Zhang He planned to take down the head of the enemy army in one fell swoop under the premise that the turmoil of the Bingzhou army was not stopped, so as to compete for complete success!
What he was aiming at was Wei Xu's head!
The current front army of the Bingzhou Army, because it was suddenly ambushed by the Xuzhou Army, has not slowed down its morale for the time being.
In order to boost morale and restore the combat strength of all units as soon as possible, Wei Xu had to leave the Chinese army, come to the front line of the battlefield, and personally command and dispatch.
Generals are the courage of an army and a well-deserved center of gravity in the army.
If the leading general leaves the rear, although it can boost morale, it will also bear a huge risk of rout, because the center of gravity of the entire battlefield will move as the positions of the main generals of both sides move.
If the general is in the rear, it can stabilize the army, and if the general is in the front, it can boost morale and give full play to the most powerful combat power of the army.
However, once the generals in the front line are injured or killed, it will bring disastrous bitter consequences to the whole army.
Therefore, since ancient times, except for Lu Bu, a superlative person who is extremely confident in his own means of preserving his life, the general will choose to sit in the rear and command.
Wei Xu is not a superlative person, but he is forced to do it today.
Wei Xu's behavior in front of the formation was like two people fighting, and suddenly one of them stretched his head in front of the opposite side, and then bragged to the other party very unceremoniously: "Come on, I'm your mother!" Do you dare to me first! And then I'll beat you up again! β
This mode of behavior was called ignition in later urban group brawls.
Zhang He's purpose now is to light Wei Xu's cannon.
And his purpose is obvious, that is, to make Wei Xu unable to stand up all of a sudden, and there is no follow-up......
Wei Xu had about a thousand guards by his side, and although it was well protected, it also limited his mobility, and Zhang He knew this.
Zhang He led the Euphorbia of the Guards under his command and kept moving towards Wei Xu's location.
Seeing that it was close, Zhang He immediately ordered the Euphorbia army to rush straight up and find a way to resist Wei Xu's own soldiers, while he himself grasped the opportunity to take Wei Xu's head in one fell swoop.
Watching the distance advance step by step, the Euphorbia Army under Zhang He finally began to act.
With Zhang He's order, the Sanqu soldiers of the Euphorbia Army suddenly launched a charge against Wei Xu's pro-army.
The goal of their attack was very clear - that is, to focus on one point, tearing a hole in Wei Xu's personal guards, leaving a passage for Zhang He to charge.
Although Wei Xu's guards were vigilant, the sudden attack of the Euphorbia battalion was so swift that they didn't have the slightest time to react.
The weapons of the halberd army are all war halberds, and the destruction of the war halberds is extremely huge on the battlefield, especially the sudden attack concentrated in one place, which makes Wei Xu's personal guards inevitably panic in a short period of time.
More than a dozen guards were stabbed down by the sudden attack, and they fell to the ground and died before they could scream, and the other soldiers were also in a bit of a hurry by the sudden change at this juncture.
It was in this gap that Zhang He took the lead, holding the horse lance, and rushed straight into the enemy's defense line with lightning speed, and stabbed the horse lance in his hand straight towards Wei Xu's front door.
Flowing clouds and flowing water, moving like thunder.
Wei Xu watched as the long lance in Zhang He's hand stabbed straight towards his face, his mouth opened wide, and he didn't even have time to react, his limbs were so cold that he couldn't even move under the sudden change.
He could only let the sharp lance pierce into his face, ending his short life.
"Bell!"
A long knife stretched out from the diagonal stab, blocking Zhang He's long lance straight away.
Wei Xu was suddenly awakened by this block, came back to his senses, pulled the reins of the horse in a panic, turned around and fled to the rear.
Before fleeing, he looked at the person who appeared in front of him and blocked Zhang He's attack for him......
"Zhang Wenyuan!"
Wei Xu shouted in surprise.
Zhang Liao didn't look at him, but just shouted in a low voice: "Hurry up!" β
Wei Xu's face turned red, he didn't refute, and hurriedly walked towards the rear.
Zhang Liao's eyes locked tightly on Zhang He, and he smiled contemptuously: "Boy, if you are young, you want to take the head of the general among the ten thousand armies and pass me first." β
Zhang He's face turned red, and he wanted to fight with Zhang Liao with a lance.
But he was suddenly stunned.
I saw that not far behind Zhang Liao, a tall military general with a stiff and bearded face, shining silver armor, wearing a Xichuan Shu brocade robe on his back, and sitting on a fiery red war horse, was speeding in his direction.
Although the general had not yet galloped in front of Zhang He, the powerful aura and chill exuded by his body almost shocked everyone in the field...... Including Zhang He!
Looking at the general, Zhang He clenched the horse's hands, and seemed to tremble slightly.
Lu Bu!
In Zhang He's mind, he had imagined countless times that if he met the world's number one warrior in this expedition, what would he do and how to deal with it
It is to fight to the death, whether to be impassioned or to command thousands of armies to set up formations to fight against it
Zhang He never imagined that when he really faced Lu Bu, the first thought in his mind would be so unbearable......
I'm no match for this man!
Zhang He was shocked by Lu Bu's momentum, but Lu Bu didn't even look at him, and directly galloped past him and Zhang Liao, and the soldiers on both sides along the way spread out to both sides like a tide, making way for Lu Bu.
Among the two armies, no one dared to directly touch Lu Bu's edge!
Zhang Liao quietly watched Zhang He's performance, and once again let out a contemptuous laugh.
"Boy, you're still too tender."
When a sentence came out, it only made Zhang He's shameful face red.
Zhang He's heart was depressed, and all the cowardice he saw because he saw Lu Bu turned into anger at this moment, and he rushed at Zhang Liao to kill him.
Zhang Liao laughed, then shook his spirits and fought with Zhang He viciously.
