...ele atravessou exércitos.


Explanation:
"Lead the way" dá uma idéia de haver um objetivo a se alcançar, então penso que "atravessar" (para se chegar onde se quer) pode servir (até porque há o "through"). Fica implícito que ele (thrust) atacou/lutou contra os exércitos (afinal, exércitos inimigos não o deixariam simplesmente passar).
Ele liderou o caminho, ele atravessou exércitos.
Só uma alternativa... :)
