Chu Qian quickly dismounted, tidied his appearance, and then bowed to the infantrymen with both hands holding the ceremonial staff.
Just then, Gao Shun stepped forward and gave Chu Qian a military salute.
"Welcome back, Han envoy. General Zhang is waiting for you. Please!"
Chu Qian looked ahead along the two iron walls and saw Zhang Huan and a group of officers standing at the camp gate, looking at him.
"Okay! Please!"
Then Chu Qian held the staff in both hands and walked slowly forward. The eyes of the Han soldiers on both sides of the official road followed Chu Qian.
The Xianbei followed closely behind Chu Qian. Looking at the sturdy heavy armor on these infantrymen and the thick shields in front of them, the Xianbei felt a chill run down their spines.

Such well-equipped heavy infantry, if they were to form a square and confront an equal number of cavalry, would likely be crushed by this iron wall of troops.

Seemingly sensing the movement of the Xianbei people, Lü Bu, who was walking in front, couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"I have met General Zhang!"

"The Han army is still the same as before, only good at defense and not offense!"
The Xianbei people who entered the camp were relieved to see that it was almost entirely made up of infantry.
