Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 367: Three against Ten Thousand! Ma Chao kills Han Sui!

"Brothers, hold on to this rain of arrows. Once the horses start running, their arrows will be useless!"

One of Han Sui's lieutenants shouted loudly to cheer for everyone, but what responded to him was another wave of shooting. It seemed that the opponent's crossbows did not need to be loaded and fired continuously. Originally, they wanted to rely on the speed of the cavalry to withstand the opponent's continuous shooting, but the opponent's continuous shooting never stopped.

Taishi Ci at the end smiled evilly, pulled out an arrow from his back, stretched out his ape arms, drew the bow to a full moon, and a sharp arrow flew out, piercing through the layers of the crowd and hitting the deputy general in the center of his eyebrows. The arrow was so powerful that after piercing the deputy general's head, it penetrated as much as half a meter.

The deputy general's heavy body fell to the ground with a bang, causing the attack rhythm of the nearby cavalry to come to a halt.

"kill!"

Han Sui was shocked by Taishi Ci's arrow. He was terrified and shocked. How could such a person exist? He was able to shoot an arrow through the enemy's head from such a long distance with such great force. It was shocking.

What he didn't know was that the side he chose to charge on was the most powerful side. Although there were only four people, three of them were capable of defeating a thousand or even ten thousand enemies at once.

Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Taishi Ci stood in front of Gu Rubing tacitly. Facing the tens of thousands of troops rushing towards them, there was no fear on their faces, only full of fighting spirit.

With the strength of three people, they faced the charge of 70,000 cavalrymen. This was a feat that had never been seen since ancient times.

"Han Sui!"

Ma Chao shouted angrily and charged towards Han Sui. All the soldiers who tried to stop Ma Chao on the way were blown away by Ma Chao. Ma Chao's head was filled with hatred at this moment, and there was only Han Sui in his eyes. Han Sui looked at Ma Chao who had broken through countless people and rushed towards him, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Take your life!"

Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci were behind Ma Chao to provide support. Even if there were thousands of enemies on the battlefield, they could not take care of everything in the enemy's encirclement, especially for a powerful individual soldier like cavalry.

Zhao Yun waved his spear and cleared the enemies on the side for Ma Chao. Taishi Ci was behind Zhao Yun, drawing his bow and arrow to clear the enemy soldiers who posed a threat to Ma Chao. It was the first time for the three of them to fight together, but they cooperated with each other very closely. The three of them formed a formation like a sharp knife and inserted themselves into the army.

Gu Rubing stood on his horse, motionless, waiting quietly.

The enemy's line was wide enough that some fish that slipped through the net could be suddenly intercepted by the three men and successfully get to Gu Rubing.

"Hahahaha, I've come across this overwhelming wealth, come and die!"

A third-rate general, with his own battalion of more than twenty cavalrymen, dodged the advancing battle line of Zhao Yun and Ma Chao and rushed straight towards Gu Rubing.

The third-rate general who was in the lead looked at Gu Rubing as if he were looking at a pile of treasure, allowing him to take it all.

"Brothers, glory and wealth are right before our eyes, kill them!"

"Kill!"

More than twenty riders all rushed towards Gu Rubing. In their view, Gu Rubing was now a piece of meat on the felt board, at their disposal. Ma Chao also noticed the battle situation in the rear and wanted to rush to help, but he heard Zhao Yun say.

"A general with some miscellaneous soldiers can't do anything to the lord! You and I continue to charge!"

Zhao Yun had already hung the sword that Gu Rubingxin had given him on the Longdan Bright Silver Spear, and used the spear's edge to drive the sword's tip, stirring up a bloody storm on the battlefield.

Taishi Ci laughed twice.

"Let alone that general, even if Han Sui took action, he would not be a match for the lord."

Taishi Ci has switched from bows and arrows to Zhuge Crossbows. Facing this kind of large-scale encounter, Zhuge Crossbows is more powerful if he wants to kill the enemy quickly.

"Just now I noticed that the crossbows used by your people are different. Their speed and power are much stronger than ordinary crossbows. What kind of crossbow is this?"

Ma Chao asked while killing the enemies, "Roaming crossbowmen are a particularly important part of the cavalry. They can cause considerable damage to the enemy before the cavalry of both sides collide."

Moreover, Ma Chao had just observed very carefully. There were three soldiers in total, and each of them fired ten crossbow arrows before loading new crossbow arrows. This means that this crossbow, which had never been seen before, could fire continuously. A crossbow that could only shoot one crossbow arrow at a time was far inferior to a bow and arrow in terms of lethality. It was just convenient to carry and more convenient for cavalry to use. That's why cavalry were equipped with crossbows.

But if the crossbows could fire continuously, then everything would be different. There is a huge difference between firing one arrow and firing ten arrows. Just like in the current situation, ten thousand crossbowmen are shooting indiscriminately from above. If each person has ten crossbow arrows, that means one hundred thousand crossbow arrows.

At the same time, Ma Chao had a new understanding of Liu Bei's army. One round of horse archery consisted of 100,000 arrows. From the beginning to now, they had been fighting in close combat. The crossbowmen stopped shooting for fear of hurting their own people. Before that, they had at least carried out two rounds of horse archery, which meant a full 200,000 arrows. 200,000,000, he and Han Sui in the entire Liang Province combined could not gather so many arrows.

Moreover, their cavalry and archers were equally powerful, and had already caught up with the end of Han Sui's army from behind, forcing nearly 10,000 of Han Sui's troops to risk their lives to block their pursuit, for fear that they would be wiped out once they were caught up.

What a group of tigers and wolves, Ma Chao complained in his heart. Such an army was actually praised by the people. It was enough to show how strong Liu Bei's personal charm was. Being able to intimidate the generals was not a skill, and being able to intimidate the troops was not a skill either. But being able to make the troops restrain their greed and evil nature was an extraordinary skill.

"Is this what you're talking about?"

Taishi Ci raised the Zhuge Crossbow in his hand, pulled out an arrow from a row of arrow boxes that had been arranged at his waist, and put the empty box back. This series of smooth operations stunned Ma Chao. Why did it feel like this thing could change ten crossbow arrows faster than just one?
"This is a crossbow made by our military advisor. It's called the Zhuge Crossbow."

As Taishi Ci spoke, he raised the Zhuge Crossbow and began to clear out the enemies in the distance. Zhao Yun was now holding a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, doing two things at the same time and attacking on two fronts.

"Our military advisor not only invented the Zhuge Crossbow. When you have the chance to meet our military advisor in the future, you will know what kind of god he is."

The three men continued to charge forward, and the third-rate general behind them had already come close to Gu Rubing. Gu Rubing stretched his neck and smiled brightly.

"I haven't stretched my muscles for a long time. It's time to stretch them. Otherwise, how can I become a first-rate general?" Gu Rubing smiled and drew out his double-edged sword to fight against the twenty or so riders. The third-rate general rushed to the front, wanting to kill Gu Rubing so that he could get the reward. When he was still dozens of meters away from Gu Rubing, Gu Rubing didn't move yet. He thought that Gu Rubing was scared and didn't dare to move, waiting for him to kill him.

But the next moment, he saw Gu Rubing draw out his two swords.

"Who dares to fight with your grandfather?"

The third-rate general held two sledgehammers in his hands. He threw the hammer with his right hand and at the same time switched from his left hand to his right hand, swung the sledgehammers high up, and was about to smash Gu Rubing into a pulp. Gu Rubing used his sword to pick up the flying hammers and at the same time swept the sword across the general's eyes, and a scream was rang out.

"Ah! My eyes!"

Gu Rubing ignored the blinded general and turned to charge into the group of twenty or so riders, swinging his male and female swords and slashing. It took only a few dozen breaths to kill all the twenty or so riders.

At this time, the blind general had fallen off his horse and was standing on the ground with a hammer in both hands, hammering the air wildly. Gu Rubing went around behind the general and stabbed him in the heart with a sword, ending his life.

More than twenty riders plus a third-rate general only provided Gu Rubing with two points of general experience. Gu Rubing sighed slightly. He thought that his general experience was still too full. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were now on the road to becoming legendary generals, but he was still struggling to become a first-rate general.

With the lesson of Ma Teng, Gu Rubing also found that he had been too dependent on his elite soldiers and generals during this period, and neglected his own development. He is still a long way from becoming a first-class general, let alone being promoted to a famous general.

However, Gu Rubing felt that it should not be a problem for him to be promoted to a famous general. After all, famous general points are more difficult to obtain than military general experience. However, Gu Rubing's fame nowadays is so famous that even children in Jiangdong dare not cry when they hear of him. It should be easy for him to obtain famous general points.

Thinking of this, Gu Rubing no longer waited there, but galloped on his horse, chasing after the three people who had already penetrated deep into the enemy's territory. The blood-stained male and female double-edged swords added a bit of evil charm, which matched with his Gu Rubing's face as gentle as jade, which was so incongruous.

The three people rushing forward soon noticed Gu Rubing following behind them. Zhao Yun gave Taishi Ci a look, and Taishi Ci immediately understood. Then Zhao Yun pressed forward, and walked forward side by side with Ma Chao, opening the formation forward, turning from assisting to the main attack. While Zhao Yun pressed forward, Taishi Ci reined in his horse to slow down, put away the Zhuge Crossbow, replaced it with a hand halberd, cleared all the nearby circle, and then followed behind Gu Rubing to support Gu Rubing.

In just a few breaths, they completely changed their charging formation, from the original sharp knives to the current huge hammers.

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun were the hammer heads, responsible for opening the formation and killing most of the enemy troops. Occasional omissions would be handed over to Gu Rubing. After Taishi Ci came to the back, he changed to his Zhuge Crossbow to check for any omissions for Gu Rubing and protect Gu Rubing's safety at the critical moment.

At this moment, Han Sui was already in disarray, and he actually sent out another 40,000 cavalry to resist the pursuing cavalry from behind. At the same time, he hoped that he could rely on the 20,000 cavalry to surround and kill Gu Rubing and several others, and use their heads to make a deal with Cao Cao to recover his losses this time.

However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel. Before the 20,000 cavalrymen came into contact with Ma Chao and his men, more than 8,000 of them had been killed by the ambushing crossbowmen on both sides.

The sand hills on both sides blocked their roads to the left and right. There were blockades in front and pursuers behind. The crossbowmen were in a commanding position and there was no cover in the desert. Those people were pure sitting ducks.

Two hours into the battle, Zhao Yun and his men killed nearly six thousand people in total, and then blocked Han Sui and all his troops in the middle of the sand road. Han Sui was covered in blood, both other people's and his own. Of his seventy thousand cavalry, only less than thirty thousand were left, while the losses of Gu Rubing's side were almost negligible.

At this moment, some of Han Sui's men had already thought about surrendering. After the first person did so, most of them did the same. They dismounted and threw their weapons on the ground, indicating that they would not resist anymore.

When Han Sui saw how his followers behaved, he became furious.

"What are you doing? What are you all doing? Cowards, all of you, cowards!"

Seeing that even a deputy general beside him had thrown away his armor and weapons, dismounted and surrendered, Han Sui sneered, and the tip of his spear swept across, and the deputy general's head flew high.

"Pick them all up! Get on your horses! Anyone who disobeys my orders will be killed!"

But the troops were silent and ignored him, so Ma Chao suddenly shouted loudly.

"This is a personal grudge between Han Sui and me. I promise that as long as you lay down your weapons and stop resisting, you will survive!"

"Coward! You are all cowards! Get up now!"

Han Sui was furious and started to massacre his own troops with a spear in hand. In a blink of an eye, eight or nine people had been killed by Han Sui. The soldiers who had surrendered looked at the furious Han Sui, and then thought about the humiliation they had suffered at his hands. They could no longer endure it and no longer needed to endure it.

The commander of an army was once Han Sui's right-hand man. However, because his wife was young and beautiful, Han Sui forcibly deprived him of his innocence. He also deliberately told him and made it public, making him lose face. All the past events came to his mind. When Han Sui raised his spear again to slaughter his men, the commander slashed across with his halberd, cutting Han Sui's arm holding the spear smoothly from the forearm, and blood gushed out.

Han Sui turned pale instantly, and fell off his horse in severe pain. The commander tied Han Sui up with an expressionless face, and at the same time tied a cloth belt around Han Sui's arm to prevent him from bleeding to death quickly.

Then the commander tied Han Sui up and sent him to Gu Rubing.

"Uncle Liu, I have always heard of your benevolence and righteousness. I do not ask to live, but only ask that you give those brothers whose hands are not stained with blood a chance to live!"

The commander knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gu Rubing, then turned to Ma Chao.

"Back then, my entire family was under house arrest by Han Sui. He threatened me with my family's name and asked me to go with him instead of Brother Ma. I had no choice but to choose my family. I will apologize to you here. As for Brother Ma, you will see him sooner or later after you go down, and then you can let him beat and scold you."

After the general finished speaking, he picked up his sword and was about to slit his throat without any hesitation, but Ma Chao snatched the sword away.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, I don't blame you."

As Ma Chao spoke, he stood in front of Han Sui. At this moment, Han Sui felt the approach of death and finally began to get scared. He kowtowed to Ma Chao frantically, and his forehead hit the still hard sand. It started bleeding after a few hits. When he raised his head and was about to speak, a flash of Han light flew by and a head flew up.

"I'll collect the interest today."
