After hearing what the spy said, Zhang Liang's face turned pale.

Because it is extremely dangerous to be attacked by cavalry at this distance.

There is not much time left for him to react now. Within ten miles, the cavalry will arrive in an instant!

"Fire the crossbow rockets immediately in the direction you came from!"

At this time, Zhang Liang loudly ordered:

"Someone, take the prince out of here!"

Such a surprise attack by the other party clearly showed that they were well prepared.

Now the crossbow rockets are fired in a hurry and can only slightly block and affect the opponent's speed. They are still extremely dangerous here.

Liu Heng's little face was also a little pale. This was his first time leading troops alone, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

But he didn't blindly insist on staying here. Now that his father has gone to Da Qin, he has to take responsibility for the entire Han Dynasty.

Soon the cavalry in charge of the escort left here with Liu Heng and headed towards the rear.

At this time, Zhang Liang had already seen the dense cavalry in the distance, at least more than a thousand people!

This number may not sound like a lot, but even a thousand cavalry raiding at such a speed would be enough to defeat an enemy army several times their size!

This is the power of cavalry!

They themselves often use this tactic to defeat the enemy before they can react!

But now that I am the one being attacked, this feeling is not good.

Fortunately, at this time, the crossbow and rockets on the carriage were ready.

"emission!"

With an order,

Buzz!

There was a buzzing sound as the bowstring was stretched to its limit and then suddenly released.

Nearly a hundred crossbow arrows with thunderbolts strapped to their bodies roared towards the direction of the cavalry's surprise attack!

Then with a burst of smoke and fire, there was another rumbling explosion on the battlefield!

Looks very powerful!

Just because there was no time to calibrate, most of the crossbow arrows landed far away from the cavalry.

So when the thick smoke slowly dispersed, the enemy cavalry appeared in front of them again, getting closer and closer.

After Zhang Liang took a look, his expression slowly became serious, because these cavalry were completely different from the barbarian cavalry.

These people were neatly equipped and had clear flags, and their formation was extremely orderly. However, their speed was a bit slower. It seemed that the bombing was still effective.

They looked even more elite than the Han cavalry, but they didn't have thunder.

He also guessed the origin of these cavalry,

"Have the Romans finally been unable to bear it any longer?"

They expanded westward for more than ten years. In the process of fighting these barbarians, they naturally also learned about the existence of Rome.

I never thought that the Romans would join forces with these barbarians.

Come to think of it, these Romans and barbarians are all similar in appearance.

As a result, his plan to conquer these barbarians was in vain.

Now is not the time to think about these things, we must first block the attack of these Romans.

The people following him here are all elite men of the Han Dynasty. Without Zhang Liang's overly detailed command, there are already deputy generals commanding the defense.

The carriages carrying supplies were piled randomly on the road where the cavalry was attacking. As long as these cavalry could be stopped, the Han's infantry was not afraid of engaging these people in hand-to-hand combat!

Soon, with bursts of crossbow and rocket shooting and explosions, the Roman cavalry also arrived.

The violent cavalry reined in the horse, jumped up high, stepped over the low carriage, and rushed over with an indomitable momentum.

Even though Zhang Liang was used to all kinds of battles, he couldn't help but tighten his lips at this time.

The two sides were in close combat, and almost instantly, the Han infantryman who was responsible for intercepting at the front was sent flying away by the impact before he could even swing his weapon. After landing, he vomited blood and lost his breath.

Of course, there were also cavalry who did not rush over, and those who tripped over obstacles. These people fell to the ground, and were either trampled to death by their companions, or were swarmed by the angry Han infantry and killed on the spot.

The whole situation became chaotic almost instantly.

Zhang Liang's face gradually became extremely ugly at this time. Although he was capable of commanding battles, he was not specialized in this.

There is no problem with arranging troops, but it seems somewhat inadequate to deal with such an unexpected battle situation.

At this time, Fan Kuai was fighting on the front line and could not come back.

Otherwise, if the barbarians take advantage of the chaos and pursue them, the entire army formation will be flanked by two sides, which will be a real disaster!

"Tell those in front that no matter what the cost, these Romans must be slowed down!"

"Tell the crossbow and rocket again, don't worry about consumption, just shoot with all your strength!"

Zhang Liang said with a bit of cruelty that this was the best solution he could think of now.

As long as these people slow down, the crossbow rockets can destroy them!

Of course, in this process, the Han army will also pay a heavy price!

The battle was carried out cruelly and decisively in the intertwining of iron and blood.

Both sides try their best to kill the other, because only in this way can they survive.

Zhang Liang looked at the situation around him coldly. As a general, he must be cold-blooded sometimes.

At this moment, a Han soldier hurried over and said:

"Prime Minister, spies have come to report that a pair of enemy troops are chasing His Highness directly!"

Zhang Liang's face instantly turned pale, and he quickly suppressed the panic in his heart and said:

"Go tell General Fan Kuai and ask him to divide a team of people to rescue!"

At this time, I no longer care about so much. This battle can be lost, but nothing can happen to Liu Heng!

Otherwise, the entire Han Dynasty is very likely to fall apart!

Soon the Han army left here to report the news.

Zhang Liang looked at the other person's back as he left, hoping that it was not too late.

At this time, Liu Heng was running as fast as he could under the protection of his guards, because a large enemy force behind him was pursuing him.

It's too late for them to turn their horses around and fight. For cavalry, speed is everything!

And since the opponent was able to break through their defensive line, it also shows that these people are very strong.

It's just that some teams will stay in batches to delay the enemy behind them and buy time for him to come.

But the other party seemed to have seen through their thoughts, and only a few people were left to deal with it each time, while the others still chased after them quickly.

Seeing the distance between the two parties getting closer and closer, Liu Heng could not help but feel a flash of despair in his heart.

He did not expect that the battlefield would be so cruel, and he would not receive any preferential treatment just because he was a prince.

Could it be said that he is going to die here today?

In a desperate situation, Liu Heng couldn't help but roar in his heart. Whoever can save him, he will do his best to repay the other party!

At this moment, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared in front of him.

Liu Heng suddenly became completely desperate. There were enemies both at the front and back, and there was no way to escape.

The Han man who was thinking of fighting to the death but did not surrender!

But as the cavalry in front approached, Liu Heng's eyes slowly lit up, because the opponent's flag was in Chinese!

As the two sides approached, a vague shout also sounded,

"Da Chu Zhao Ritian is here, who is coming!"
Chapter completed!
