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

Chapter 427: Surprise attack on the Huns, killing the King of Nanyuan in seconds
The day after Gu Rubing left Xudu City, Dian Wei led the 4,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who had just been transferred and supplemented, and went straight out of the west gate of Xudu City, bypassing Liangzhou, and rushed towards the Huns in the north from the western part of Liangzhou. Dian Wei and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were like a black arrow, blending into the vast night. Even the other undercover agents placed by Gu Rubing in Xudu could not detect their movements.

After Dian Wei set out, Cao Zhang led 20,000 cavalrymen and embarked on the route Dian Wei had taken, following Dian Wei closely to the north. As the reserve army for Dian Wei and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, once Dian Wei and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry encountered problems, these 20,000 cavalrymen would be their life-saving straw.

Besides Dian Wei, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Cao Zhang, the only people who knew where Dian Wei was going were Cao Cao, Xun Yu and Xu Chu. Even the 20,000 cavalrymen following Cao Zhang did not know their actual purpose. They would only discover their destination when they arrived at the place. At that time, even if there were traitors among them, they would have no chance to pass on the news they knew.

If even this much information could be leaked out, then it could only be that there was a problem with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. If that were the case, then Cao Cao might not have any available men under his command. Even his own personal barracks had undercover agents, which could only mean that Cao's army was rotten to the core.

Cao Cao stood at the city gate, watching Dian Wei go away and finally disappear into the night, his heart full of worry. Before Dian Wei came back, if Gu Rubing launched an attack on Xu Du, the city of Xu Du would probably not have any power to stop him and would only face the result of destruction.

"Dian Wei, it's up to you."

Cao Cao put his hands into his sleeves. It was already late autumn, and although he was wearing gorgeous clothes, he still felt a little cold in the late autumn night. He had to put his hands into his sleeves to keep warm. Xun Yu and Xu Chu also stood aside, speechless. They all knew that Cao Cao felt the pressure from Guan Yu.

Guan Yu is like a big knife on their necks. Whether it will fall or not depends on the other party's intention. It is really unpleasant to be at the mercy of others.

"My lord, don't worry, General Dian Wei will definitely return home victorious."

Xun Yu spoke up to help Cao Cao relieve the gloom in his heart. Cao Cao nodded slightly and led the two of them into the city.

"Zhongkang, during this period of time, Xudu City depends on you."

Xu Chu, who was following behind Cao Cao, patted his chest.

"My lord, please rest assured. As long as I am alive, even if I can only live for one more day, I will defend this city of Xudu for one more day and protect you for one more day."

Cao Cao suddenly stopped, turned to look at Xu Chu, smiled and patted Xu Chu's shoulder.

"I was actually very happy when you killed Xu You last time. I only wanted to temper you by forbidding you to drink alcohol. Now it's not necessary. Let's go to my house. I have good wine there!"

Cao Cao left with a loud laugh. Xu Chu scratched his head and chuckled. Xun Yu had told him about this matter a long time ago. He naturally understood Cao Cao's good intentions, but there was no reason not to drink the wine, so he quickly followed. Xun Yu was at the end of the team. He also smiled and shook his head and followed.

Five days later, a cavalry of 4,000 men suddenly appeared outside the Liangzhou Pass and charged towards the Huns' territory outside the pass, advancing fearlessly.

The long-term internal strife of the Xiongnu and the long-term fighting between various tribes have led to the decline of the Xiongnu. Ma Chao of Liangzhou expelled the nearby Xiongnu and drove them back to their own territory, and they dared not invade again.

There are now five larger Xiongnu tribes, divided into the East, South, West, North and Central tribes. The five Khans have declared themselves kings. Among them, the tribe of the Zuoxian King is the most powerful, with 150,000 grassland cavalry under his command. Among the other four, the power of the Beixian King is the weakest, and the other three kings are almost the same. Dian Wei's target is these five tribes.

Since there are no longer so many first-rate warriors to kill in the Central Plains, and there are not so many wars to fight, if Dian Wei wants to improve himself quickly, the Huns obviously become the best choice.

In addition to the Xiongnu, there were two other rampant alien forces in the north that frequently invaded the border.

One is the Wuhuan in the north of Bingzhou, and the other is the Xianbei in the further north and bordering Youzhou. The Xianbei is the most powerful of the three major alien forces. Its territory is vaster than the five Xiongnu tribes combined, and its military force is stronger. However, the only place that directly borders the Han Dynasty is Youzhou. In addition, there are constant wars between the Xiongnu and Wuhuan, and the tribes of the Xianbei Chanyu are too far away from the Han Dynasty. For various reasons, the Xianbei, the most powerful one, has become the most honest alien.

After entering the Xiongnu territory, Dian Wei and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry no longer concealed their whereabouts. The four thousand cavalry advanced towards the area of ​​the Southern Wise King like a black tide. On the way, they passed two small tribes of the Southern Wise King. Although the tribes were of a decent size, there were no generals guarding them, only a few hundred soldiers. Dian Wei had no interest in them. He just galloped past their tribes and continued to advance towards the Southern Wise King's court in the north.

Soon, the Xiongnu cavalry wandering on the grassland discovered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that were like a black tide. Their first reaction was that soldiers from other royal courts had invaded, but they quickly realized that they could not have come from the south. Anyone coming from the south could only be the Han Dynasty!
This is a cavalry of 10,000 people, which can be said to be one of the most powerful armies in the Nanxian Royal Court. The Nanxian Royal Court has only 30,000 troops in total, and this is almost one-third of their number. Leading this cavalry is the King of Nanyuan of the Nanxian Royal Court, who is also the strongest person in the Nanxian Royal Court and a first-class general.

King Nanyuan looked at the thousand-man cavalry gradually approaching him, playing with a necklace made of white bones in his hand, turning it continuously.

"My fellow men, some Han people have come to our Nanxian Royal Court to cause trouble. Let's go and meet them!"

The King of the Southern Court turned his horse, took a mace from a nearby person, and rode towards Dian Wei.

"Charge! Whoever kills more than three people will be promoted one rank!"

Dian Wei and his men naturally also discovered the 10,000-man cavalry blocking their way. At this moment, they had begun to ride their horses forward quickly and began to charge at the speed of a charge.

After rushing to the front, the King of Nanyuan suddenly realized that the team he encountered this time seemed different from the previous ones. He had never encountered such a team with heavy black armor before. Before the King of Nanyuan could react, the team had already rushed in front of them like a sharp arrow. "Kill!"

Dian Wei was not good at cavalry warfare. After arriving nearby, Dian Wei jumped off his horse and rushed towards the cavalry army of 10,000 people with his halberd in hand.

Seeing that the enemy actually abandoned their horses and started to gallop away, King Nanyuan was surprised. During the confrontation between the two cavalry armies, someone actually dared to jump off the horse and fight the cavalry on foot. This was a situation he had never seen before, but his surprise soon turned into disdain.

"Heh, it turns out they are not Ma Chao's cavalry. I was wondering where this idiot came from to attack like this. I thought he would be an interesting opponent, but I didn't expect him to be this kind of person."

The King of Nanyuan carried his mace, stared at Dian Wei, swung the mace, and prepared to smash the opponent's head with it, so that this young man who came from nowhere would know the power of the grassland cavalry.

Dian Wei also targeted the King of Nanyuan. The purpose of Dian Wei's coming to the north was to slaughter the first-class generals of the Huns. According to the information obtained by Cao Cao, there were no famous generals in the entire Huns, and the highest was only a first-class general. Unless all the first-class generals of the five major royal courts of the Huns were killed, Dian Wei might be promoted to a legendary general.

There is only one purpose for this trip, which is to allow Dian Wei to be successfully promoted to a legendary general. If after killing all the first-class generals of the Huns, he is still not promoted to a legendary general, then Dian Wei will go east and continue to attack the Wuhuan until Dian Wei is promoted to a legendary general. Before that, no matter what happens, unless Dian Wei dies, the team will go all the way north and will never retreat a single step.

Thinking of this, Dian Wei took a deep breath, and a red light rose from his body. It was a symbol of the simultaneous beginning of his characteristics of endless rage and ancient evil. At the same time, Dian Wei jumped high, maintaining a height parallel to the King of Nanyuan. The first of the three deadly halberds was chopped out, and a blood-red light seemed to penetrate the sky and the earth. As Dian Wei smashed the halberd hard, the blood-red energy also flew forward.

The pupils of King Nanyuan suddenly dilated, and a halberd blade with huge aura appeared in front of him. The pupils of King Nanyuan shrank from big to small, and in extreme shock, he raised his mace and swung it forward, trying to block this horrifying blow, but the next moment, he flew out like a kite with a broken string, and then smashed hard on a group of cavalrymen.

The charging cavalrymen behind him had no time to stop as countless horse hooves trampled on him. In just a few breaths, King Nanyuan, who had already fainted from Dian Wei's attack, fell to the ground and was just awakened by the piercing pain. But the next moment, a pair of horse hooves stepped directly on his face. Before he could even let out a scream, another pair of horse hooves came from behind, and one pair after another. He and the cavalrymen and horses that were smashed to the ground were soon trampled into meat paste.

Dian Wei, whose whole body was glowing red, rushed towards the enemy's army of 10,000 without any pause after he swung his halberd. The soldiers in the front saw that their usually invincible general was killed by the halberd, and they immediately fell into panic. The cavalrymen in the front wanted to turn back, but were pushed forward by the cavalrymen behind them.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were all armed with fine iron spears, waving them in the enemy's army of ten thousand people, constantly killing the Hun soldiers. In addition, there was Dian Wei, the god of death who had already activated endless rage and ancient evil. The enemy's ten thousand cavalry were like chickens and dogs in front of them, and were continuously killed by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry at a speed that crushed dry weeds and rotten wood. Those Hun cavalry did not even have a chance to inflict damage to the enemy, as their spears swung by the enemy had their necks cut or their hearts pierced.

The corpses and flesh flew in the air like willow catkins, and then fell down again. In just a quarter of an hour, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had slaughtered the 3000 Xiongnu cavalrymen, leaving only of them, and the loss of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was less than a hundred.

In this world, the Huns are just like NPCs. Apart from their own attack power, they only enjoy the characteristic bonuses from King Nanyuan and King Nanxian. These bonuses are almost the same as zero in front of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. In addition, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is a special type of soldier and has the basic attributes of a third-rate general. It can be said that if each cavalry is taken out alone, it will be no problem at all to kill dozens of the enemy cavalry.

It's the same principle as when Sun Ce led his troops to massacre the ethnic minorities in the southeast and the invading Japanese pirates. The characteristic bonuses of these NPCs are really too small. Even the weakest Shi Xie now, the characteristic bonuses of his soldiers are much higher than those of these NPCs.

So when the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry met these Xiongnu cavalry, it was equivalent to the regular army meeting civilians who had no combat capability at all. The gap between the two was not much different.

The remaining 3000 cavalrymen still wanted to escape, but they were killed. Dian Wei, who was at the end, blocked their escape route alone with a halberd in his hand. At this moment, Dian Wei's characteristic skill of the Ancient Evil had ended, and after the attribute bonus dissipated, Dian Wei fell into a weak state.

The Ancient Evil skill has now been upgraded to level 3. The weak state only lasts for five minutes, reducing all attributes by 20%. Only five minutes is enough for the Hun cavalry to escape several miles away. So even though Dian Wei is in a weak state, he still stands on the opponent's path and blocks the opponent's escape with his own strength.

Although there was a 20% weakening, it made no difference to Dian Wei in dealing with these Hun cavalry. The Hun cavalry came to Dian Wei like a huge tide hitting the shore. Dian Wei looked calm, holding a halberd and actively rushed towards the cavalry without any fear.

Faced with the fierce battle between Dian Wei and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, only a hundred of their three thousand men finally escaped from this Shura field and rushed towards the north without looking back.

Dian Wei sat back on the horse that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had brought over and continued to move towards the north. There were bloodstains on Dian Wei's armor, and even the visor of his helmet was covered with blood. Dian Wei reached out and took off the helmet, threw the blood-stained helmet on the ground, and looked into the distance.

"Rest where you are."

Dian Wei's voice was muffled. He continued to gaze into the distance while riding on his horse, then turned his head to look at the deputy general of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry behind him.

"Wait here for Master Cao Zhang to arrive. Before he arrives, you will be in charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. When he arrives, you will hand over the command to him."

"Yes, General."

The deputy general clasped his fists and accepted the order. Dian Wei rode his horse in the direction where the hundreds of cavalrymen left. If these hundreds of cavalrymen successfully escaped and returned to the court of King Nanxian, King Nanxian would probably react. Although their combat readiness was no different from the preparation, only by minimizing the casualties of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry could this trip to the Huns ensure that Dian Wei would have a greater chance of being successfully promoted to a legendary general.

This is a surprise attack thousands of miles away. The battles will become harder and harder as time goes on. Every time a Tiger and Leopard Cavalry member is missing, the future battles will become more difficult. This time, they don't have any reinforcements and can only rely on themselves.
