The more Fazheng thought about it, the more strange he felt. Where did these shields come from?
He clearly remembered that those who fled Didao City in a hurry were all cavalry.
How could he still carry such a huge shield with him when he was running for his life?
Just as both sides were anxious, the sun had climbed into the sky, and the sunlight shone on the shield, and the reflected light swayed Fazheng's eyes.
Fazheng covered his eyes with his hands and turned his head unconsciously.
It was this indifferent turn of the head that immediately shocked Fazheng.
He had been focusing on the pursuit and didn't even notice where the army was chasing him at this moment!
We are now at a three-way intersection. In front of us is the place where Liu Zhang escaped, and where the shield formation blocks the way. To the left is a dense forest from before. There are not too high mountains above the dense forest.
There is also a passage on the right side of the Liangzhou army, but there are also low mountains on both sides.
Unexpectedly, the pursuit ended in the mountains!
Fortunately, these are short hills with very gentle slopes, and the cavalry can charge directly to the top of the mountain with their horse power.
"Xiao Nao, what should we do now? If this continues, Liu Zhang will disappear!"
Han Sui was very worried. Any more delay here would mean he would lose a point in seizing Liu Zhang's opportunity.
Fa Zheng really couldn't complain about Han Sui's stupidity. In this situation, he didn't want to think about why there were shield soldiers blocking the way, and he was still thinking about capturing Liu Zhang alive!
"Prince Han, if you want to pursue Liu Zhang, you can bypass these shield soldiers!"
Fazheng just said something angrily, but Han Sui suddenly realized what he said.
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that! These shield soldiers can only stand still. If they move even half a step, they will immediately reveal their flaws!"
"All the troops obey the order! Don't worry about these iron bastards, just go around from the right side and follow me to pursue Liu Zhang!"
Han Sui shouted loudly, and in order to boost his plummeting morale, he took the lead and rushed over.
"Brothers, follow the footsteps of the Lord!"
"Rush over!"
The personal guard reacted the fastest, following Han Sui closely and also rushed to the right.
Everything was as Han Sui said. There was no response from these shield formations, and they just watched the Liangzhou soldiers and horses rush past.
Han Sui's courageous advance and the lack of response from the Yizhou shield soldiers directly boosted the morale of the Liangzhou army.
More and more cavalry rushed forward, and the morale of the entire army suddenly increased greatly.
"Han Governor..."
Fazheng wanted to stop Han Sui and ask him to calm down, but everything happened so suddenly, and Han Sui had already rushed away a long distance.
"Why!"
Seeing Han Sui walking further and further away, Fazheng decided that he could not stay there alone, so he also urged his horses to follow him.
He was just a helpless scribe. He could only die if he stayed where he was and faced these iron shields alone.
But can you escape with your life by moving forward?
Fa Zheng's mood became increasingly pessimistic. The situation seemed to have changed since the moment these iron shields appeared.
Fa Zheng is no longer confident about whether the future is heaven or hell. . .
Fa is a wise man, so is Han Sui an idiot?
of course not!
Han Sui is known as the Nine Bends of the Yellow River. He counterattacked as a mere official and occupied a state with tens of thousands of soldiers. How can he be an ordinary person?
Han Sui, who was sitting on a horse and galloping, had only a look of determination in his eyes at this moment.
Perhaps Han Sui, like Fazheng, had already seen some clues.
But Han Sui had no choice at this moment. He could only pretend to be confused, pretend he didn't know, and even forcefully deceive himself in his heart.
At this moment, besides capturing Liu Zhang, does Han Sui have any other choice?
After betting on three counties and gathering most of the effective forces under his command, is there really any other choice but to go all the way to the dark side?
In other words, from the moment Didao City changed hands, Han Sui had no other choice.
Even if Han Sui could give up everything in Longxi County, could he give up the 40,000 troops under his command? If you want to lead these elite soldiers back to Jincheng, capturing Liu Zhang is the only way!
"Soldiers, speed up. As long as you capture Liu Zhang, I will give you a heavy reward from the governor!"
If a warrior really captures Liu Zhang, Han Sui will never be stingy with the reward, whether it's money, power, or status!
Even if he asked for the position of governor of a county, Han Sui would not frown.
I wonder if it was Han Sui's persistence that moved heaven. Not long after, the shadow of the cavalry actually appeared in front of him!
quick! quick! quick!
Faster!
immediately. . . It's about to succeed!
Han Sui kept shouting in his heart, getting closer and closer to the Yizhou cavalry.
The enemy figure reflected in Han Sui's eyes was constantly being magnified.
The Liangzhou cavalry were very brave, and under the leadership of Han Sui, they were rapidly approaching the Yizhou army in front!
"hiss..."
As the distance between the two sides continued to close, Han Sui took a deep breath.
Liu Zhang and the Yizhou cavalry were right in front of them, but the other party was not fleeing, but the horse's head was pointed in their direction!
Only then did Han Sui realize that it was not him who had pursued Liu Zhang's defeated troops, but Liu Zhang who had set up his formation and was waiting for him.
Could it be that Liu Zhang gave up resistance?
Or did Liu Zhang know that he had no way to escape?
Han Sui was thinking about the reason in his heart, but his reason told him that Liu Zhang was definitely not someone who just waited for death. On the contrary, he was always confident!
"Stop the march!"
The scene in front of him was confusing to Han Sui. He could only stop charging and chose to confront Liu Zhang.
However, Han Sui was not afraid. He had more than 30,000 cavalry beside him, while Liu Zhang only had 10,000 cavalry. There was a huge gap in strength between the two sides.
The Liangzhou cavalry were charging with all their strength and could not stop the advance of the front army immediately. Fortunately, Han Sui was well trained and finally stabilized the formation fifty steps in front of Liu Zhang.
Just as Han Sui was about to ask questions, Liu Zhang had already galloped out and shouted at him.
"Han Wenyue, it's been so many years since I last saw you! I used to spare your life under Meiyang City, but I didn't expect that not only would you not want to repay me, but you would often oppose me!"
Liu Zhang's feeling for Han Sui can only be expressed in two words: calm.
It seemed that he was not the one who had just fled in panic, and it seemed that he was still not the one with the weakest force at this moment.
Only then did Han Sui realize that every time he thought he could capture Liu Zhang, he would always stand in front of him with confidence.
"Liu Zhang, you are a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the shepherd of Yizhou. You should respect the emperor's will and govern Yizhou well! Now that there is no edict from the emperor, you have sent troops to invade Liangzhou for no reason. Could it be that you are deliberately rebelling?"
Any time you bring righteousness to yourself, you will have a natural advantage. As the governor of Liangzhou personally appointed by the emperor, Han Sui naturally understood this.
However, occupying great righteousness was what Liu Zhang was best at. How could he let Han Sui take it away with just a few words?
"Han Sui, you are really shameless!"
