Chapter 558: Zhang He in a desperate situation
But since the two armies have begun to face each other at this time, Zhang He knows that he has no reason to retreat at all, and after a short period of panic, he has gradually recovered some, he knows that the top priority now is not how to desperately think about how to defeat Liu Feng himself led by the number of troops far exceeding his own, but how to quickly transmit the news that Liu Feng has arrived in Yongzhou to Huiye City as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a very big mistake in Wei's defense strategy.
After Liu Feng showed his banner, he naturally didn't give Zhang He much time to think, the army approached Zhang He's camp, leaving Zhang He with only two options, either lead the army and Liu Feng to fight directly, or temporarily retreat to the camp, but simple fortifications can not stop Liu Feng's army for too long, once Liu Feng's army breaks through his fortifications, the camp he was proud of before will become his grave in an instant.
Zhang He's camp is leaning against the mountain on one side, facing the river on the other, and the city on the other side has been occupied by Liu Feng, so Liu Feng attacked on the only remaining side, which is equivalent to blocking Zhang He and his 40,000 horses in a dead end.
Such a plan was designed for him by Liu Feng and Pang Tong after they had already seen through the advantages and disadvantages of Zhang He's camp, and at this time, being in a desperate situation and being frightened by Liu Feng who suddenly appeared in front of him, Zhang He couldn't make the most favorable judgment for himself for a while.
But Liu Feng's next move made Zhang He very confused, Liu Feng did not directly wave his army to attack, let Zhang He passively resist, but sent a general under his account to Zhang He's front to ask for battle.
In any case, such a move is a rare respite for Zhang He, he needs time too much, he needs time to weigh what he should do now before the war, so that he can send the news here back to Yecheng as quickly as possible, so that Cao Zhi and Sima Yi can quickly know where Liu Feng is.
Driven by this thought, Zhang He hurriedly sent one of his generals under his command, intending to drag the people sent by Liu Feng to ask for war and buy himself some time.
But under the battle between the two, Zhang He finally discovered that Liu Feng sent the generals not because he made a stupid move, nor did he deliberately give himself some respite.
Because the general he sent had just fought with the general sent by Liu Feng, he was cut off in less than five rounds, so that the Wei sergeant, who was already very uneasy about Liu Feng's appearance, was even more afraid of war, and a battle that was impossible to win from any angle was undoubtedly the biggest blow to the soldier's psychology, and now, this battle is obviously developing in such a direction.
The general sent by Liu Feng is indeed not a well-known general in the Central Plains, and Liu Feng's army does not have a banner that belongs to him, but his status among the generals under Liu Feng is not bad, he is Li Chuang, the leader of the shadow guard.
After all these years of training, Li Chuang is no longer the reckless man he used to be, his sword skills are no less than Wei Yan, but he has almost never been sent by Liu Feng before, this time, Liu Feng deliberately did it in order to cause some shocking effects on Zhang He and his generals.
The helpless Zhang He sent three generals without believing in evil after one of his generals was cut off by Li Chuang, but their ending was the same as the first person.
The four of them were killed in less than half an hour by a general under Liu Feng, whom he had almost never seen, which made the mood of the soldiers under Zhang He's command extremely low, and almost all the generals unconsciously took a few steps back, they didn't want to be the next to die.
"Where is the enemy general Zhang He? Why do you cower and dare not step forward, only to teach your men to come to death? ”
When Zhang He was still thinking hard about how to break through, Li Chuang's voice the size of Hong Zhong came, and when Zhang He looked up again, he saw that under the drive of Li Chuang, the sergeants under Liu Feng were already a lot closer to him, and Li Chuang's voice could not only be heard clearly, but also by many generals behind him.
For a time, the eyes of many Wei generals were all focused on Zhang He, although they had a lot of respect for their main generals before, but when it came to this life-threatening time, Zhang He didn't know why he let the four generals under his command go to the front of the battle to die, and at this time, once the enemy general avoided the battle by himself, the morale of the Wei army could only be more depressed, and there might even be an uncontrollable situation that escaped from the battle.
Zhang He sighed in his heart when he saw this situation, he knew that Liu Feng's purpose was to surrender without a fight, as the main general, although he was not sure whether he could defeat the general who had made an appointment in front of the battle, but once he avoided the battle, then the possible consequences were not sure to him.
"Zhang He is here, where did he come from, don't get off the horse and surrender quickly!"
Although he was at a very big disadvantage, Zhang He would not lose the upper hand in tone, he had already made up his mind, since the enemy general was about to fight, if he could kill him in front of the battle, it would not be so easy for the men and horses under Liu Feng's command to capture his army in one go.
Seeing Zhang He out of the formation, Li Chuang didn't answer, just smiled slightly, picked up the weapon and greeted him, for him, what kind of general he faced was the same, even Liu Feng, who often fought with him because of practicing knife skills, Li Chuang was confident that if he did his best, there would be no problem in holding on to one or two hundred rounds in the hands of generals like Zhao Yun and Ma Chao.
The two horses intersected, the weapons collided, only one round later, Zhang He's face was a solemn look, he had to admit that Li Chuang's ability is indeed very strong, even no worse than any of the fierce generals in the Wei army, he didn't know the life of this general, and he had never heard of such a person under Liu Feng before, such a thought flashed in his mind, not only for this battle, but also for the future struggle situation of the Wei State, which was also a shadow in Zhang He's heart.
In fact, according to common sense, Li Chuanghe's combat effectiveness is only half a catty and eight taels compared with Zhang He, but the battle before the battle is sometimes not completely judged by strength.
