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

Chapter 431 Everyone is here to play the dungeon, attack Wuhuan

As a general who had followed Gu Rubing very early on, Xu Rong's presence became much weaker after Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and others joined Gu Rubing's army one after another, because he was not needed in many major battles and others could easily handle them. Compared with the Five Tiger Generals, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and other all-round generals, his martial arts value is lower, but the bonuses he provides to his subordinates are not inferior at all.

This time, Gu Rubing naturally did not forget Xu Rong, and sent Xu Rong to suppress the Goguryeo and Buyeo tribes who were ready to make trouble on the peninsula. With Xu Rong's strength, dealing with the two small tribes was no problem, and Xu Rong's famous general points were only 17 away from promotion. Even if the two tribes did not have first-class generals, just relying on the victory in two wars was enough for Xu Rong to be promoted to a famous general.

As for Wei Yan, military training really cannot be done without Wei Yan, so Wei Yan had to be kept. It is also worth mentioning that all the generals who went to the expedition this time brought soldiers trained by Wei Yan. In other words, these soldiers have a high probability of triggering job transfer tasks on the way to the expedition and can be transferred to special arms.

Without saying too much, even if only two or three teams can trigger the job change, the improvement for Gu Rubing will be enormous. These are all special soldiers who can fight ten people at once. If it is really as Gu Rubing imagined, after the Three Kingdoms war is over, it will be a world war. At that time, these special soldiers will be the real treasures.

They have a small number of people but strong combat effectiveness. They do not need too much supplies, and there is no need for a baggage camp equipped with food and fodder to support their expedition. It can only be said that except for the small number of people, all of them are advantages. Of course, these are just Gu Rubing's guesses. Now Gu Rubing is simply trying to improve his own strength so that he can always maintain a strength far superior to others in the upcoming hegemony and finally dominate the thirteen states in the Central Plains.

Zhao Yun was the last one to set off. Zhao Yun, who was supposed to travel with Zhang Fei and Zhang Liao, was always worried about Gu Rubing's safety. After all, he had always been Gu Rubing's personal bodyguard. He was still a little worried about being away for such a long time this time. It was not until Guan Yu, who had gone to Bingzhou to deal with something, rushed back to Qingzhou that Zhao Yun left with peace of mind and headed north to catch up with Zhang Fei and others.

At this moment, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong had already left Bingzhou and arrived at the territory of Wuhuan. As soon as they entered the territory of Wuhuan, thousands of cavalry began to surround them from all directions. Huang Zhong and Ma Chao only brought a total of 5,000 cavalry. After all, Wuhuan was the weakest of the three northern tribes. While harassing the border of Bingzhou, they also needed to be on guard against invasions by the Xiongnu and Xianbei at all times. As a result, the Wuhuan, who already had insufficient troops, could only garrison a few thousand people on the border, and even all together were less than 10,000 people.

However, this was also because the Han Dynasty was in serious internal turmoil and there were few precedents of actively attacking them. They often attacked small counties near Bingzhou, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of atrocities, and the Bingzhou army simply drove them away. Before Guan Yu entered Bingzhou, the response of the Bingzhou army and Yuan Shao to the invasion of the Wuhuan was simply to expel them from the territory, and they did not kill them all.

This has also led to the Wuhuan soldiers becoming less and less afraid of the Han Dynasty in recent years, and now they no longer take the Han Dynasty seriously. Some time before and after Guan Yu became the governor of Jingzhou, Guan Yu carried out a purge of the border of Bingzhou, reinforced some military towns and county towns on the border of Bingzhou, and sent more garrisons. Later, he repelled several invasions of the Wuhuan soldiers, which hurt the Wuhuan and made them no longer dare to invade Bingzhou, and they only dared to roam outside Bingzhou.

So when the Wuhuan generals discovered that the Han army had invaded their territory, they immediately became angry. Before, they had only invaded the Bingzhou territory, and there was no precedent for the Han army attacking the Wuhuan army. They immediately began to surround the 5,000-man cavalry.

In just half a quarter of an hour, the 6,000 cavalry of the Wuhuan surrounded Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and their men. There were a total of six thousand captains, and each of them was a man who had been leading troops on the border for a long time and would burn, kill, and plunder at any opportunity. He was a man of many evil deeds.

Ma Chao and Huang Zhong looked at each other. It was just a drop in the bucket for them. The six thousand captains were all second-rate generals, which met the requirements for obtaining famous general points. So the two of them stopped advancing immediately and waited quietly for the six thousand cavalry to surround them all.

"Han army! Get out of our Wuhuan territory immediately!"

The leading captain shouted in the pure Bingzhou dialect. Years of looting had made them learn the Bingzhou dialect. At this moment, he was shouting arrogantly in front of the battle. The other captains beside him laughed out loud and did not comment on the captain's sarcasm.

"You bunch of weaklings, are you worthy enough to come to our Wuhuan territory? If you don't leave quickly, I will kill you all here today!"

Seeing his colleagues laughing, the captain became even more excited and wanted to show off in front of them. The others didn't take Huang Zhong and Ma Chao seriously. In their opinion, they might not be good at attacking the city, but on the grassland, they were natural hunters.

But the next moment, the foul-mouthed centurion regretted being the first to stick his head out, because in his sight, one of the two leaders on the opposite side took off the huge bow and arrow on his back, swung his ape arms, drew the bow as if full of blood, and the skill of shooting arrows was fully charged. With the sound of the bowstring bang, the arrow flew out.

The arrow flew towards the centurion like a meteor. The centurion didn't have time to see clearly what it was. His sight only stayed on the moment when the last leading general pulled the bowstring, and then he lost consciousness.

In the sight of several other centurions, they only saw a flash of blue light, and then the centurion who was just chatting and laughing with them was already dead. Behind the centurion, there was a strange space cleared like an arrow.

Within the arrow-shaped range, all the Wuhuan cavalry had turned into corpses one by one. The thousand-man captain at the front was left with only a pool of thick blood. The same was true for some soldiers behind him, all of whom were annihilated by that arrow.

The remaining five centurions hadn't even reacted yet before they heard another general holding a spear raise his spear high and roar.

Then, thousands of enemy cavalrymen began to charge. The arrow just now had scared them all. After all, they were soldiers who had been fighting on the border for a long time and had seen some of the world, but they had never seen such a scene. Even when Guan Yu ordered his subordinates to expel them, he only asked Zhou Cang and others to go, and never did it himself, because Guan Yu’s main focus was to keep an eye on Cao Cao and expel the Tartars, so Zhou Cang and others were enough.

Therefore, they had not really witnessed the gap between the generals, but now they finally witnessed the real gap between the generals. The 5500 cavalrymen who were originally going to surround them were reduced to only in an instant. The soldiers who suffered the greatest impact were those who faced Huang Zhong's meteor arrow. They were so scared that they didn't even have the courage to stay where they were. They turned their horses' heads and began to flee frantically.

The other five centurions and their cavalry were not much better. It's not like they had never fought against archers on the grassland before, but they had never seen such terrifying archers who could kill hundreds of people with a single arrow. Not to mention nuclear bombs, this was almost as lethal as a catapult.

To be precise, when fighting on flat ground, the lethality of popular arrows is indeed higher than that of catapults. Catapults rely on splash damage, and if they do not hit the city walls, there will be no broken stones, and naturally no splash.

The five frightened centurions and their cavalrymen turned their horses around and fled far away, not daring to stay for even a step. Ma Chao selected the three cavalrymen fleeing northeast and began to charge forward quickly. Li Feisha galloped out like a white lightning, leaving a white afterimage on the grassland, chasing the three cavalrymen fleeing in the distance.

When one of the fleeing captains turned around and saw that only Ma Chao was chasing him, he immediately wanted to kill him.

"There's only one stupid guy chasing us. Should we kill him?"

His eyes were full of passion. He could tell from the look of the young man who had caught up with him that he was no ordinary person. He was wearing a white robe, white armor and riding a white horse. He must be a young man from an aristocratic family who had come out to gain experience. If they killed a man of such status, it would not be as simple as getting promoted or making money. He might even be conferred a title.

If this young man from an aristocratic family could involve some Han nobles, it would not be impossible for them to be directly appointed as the Khan of a small tribe. Thinking of this, several people turned their heads with shining eyes and looked at Ma Chao behind them. In their eyes, Ma Chao was now like a moving military merit, a military merit that could make them successful in the second half of their lives.

"This kid is wearing white clothes and armor. He looks like a young man who came to the army to gain experience. It shouldn't be too difficult to kill him."

"Kill him! He's just a little brat."

The three men quickly made corresponding decisions and began to slowly slow down their pace, deliberately letting the distance between Ma Chao and them get closer and closer. Ma Chao narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the three generals and hundreds of riders who were getting closer and closer to him. Ma Chao immediately guessed their true thoughts, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, with disdain in his eyes.

Ma Chao could kill these three people even with his eyes blindfolded. When the three people were only a hundred meters away from Ma Chao, they suddenly turned their horses around and rushed towards Ma Chao. In addition to the three people, hundreds of riders behind them also turned around and rushed towards Ma Chao, wanting to wipe out Ma Chao with the human wave tactic.

Ma Chao tightly gripped his spear and stared at the three people in front. The three people were already dizzy with the impact of the military merit they imagined they were about to gain. There was only Ma Chao in their eyes and nothing else. They didn't even care about the spear in Ma Chao's hand, and their eyes never left Ma Chao's head.

"die!"

The general who was rushing in the front, because he was in the front and closest to Ma Chao, had a particularly ferocious face due to intense excitement.

He seemed to have seen himself cutting off the head of the young man in white robe in front of him, then carrying the head back to the Chanyu, receiving rewards according to his merits, being promoted to a higher position, and then living a stable life in the tribe. A wonderful life had appeared before his eyes.

But the next moment, a spear tip appeared in his pupils, and then went straight through his head. The spear tip, carrying a huge force, wrapped the centurion's body and smashed towards the two people behind him. The two centurions behind him were smashed back by him. The leading centurion died on the spot, and the rhythm of the attack of the two people behind him was disrupted.

The two men had just fallen to the ground and had no time to get up when they saw a flash of cold light. Then two heads rolled into the grass nearby. The blood dyed the nearby grassland red, adding a touch of bright red to the originally green grassland.

"That's all? Are you worthy of taking my life?"

Ma Chao didn't even bother to look at the three people who became corpses in just two moves, and continued to charge forward. The hundreds of cavalrymen who came to surround him were even more unbearable. A large number of enemies would fall down when Ma Chao fired a shot. The more than 2,000 cavalrymen who had been fleeing forward without looking back seemed to know that their commander was dead. They actually gave up the chance to escape, turned around and rushed towards Ma Chao, shouting loudly about revenge.

On the other side, Huang Zhong, who killed the last two centurions with the Red Blood Sword, encountered a similar thing. The Wuhuan cavalry who had a chance to escape returned here again.

What Ma Chao and Huang Zhong didn't know was that these six people came from two tribes respectively. They were all carefully selected by the tribe and represented the face and strength of the tribe, and those soldiers were also drawn from their tribes. The three Chanyu of the Wuhuan tribe would not provide troops, but would only provide numbers and other things to prove their identity to the existing troops.

But now, all their generals were dead. If they ran away like this, what might await them might not only be destruction, but also the demise of their tribe, which they absolutely could not accept. Therefore, they all hid the fear in their hearts, restrained themselves and went back to the battlefield.

Even so, they were still not the cavalry led by Ma Chao and Huang Zhong. Their lone bravery could not provide these Wuhuan soldiers with a bonus comparable to that of the cavalry under Gu Rubing, but could only cause them to suffer more casualties.

Huang Zhong and Ma Chao each killed three thousand captains, which is the level of a second-rate general. A first-rate general killing a second-rate general can also obtain a considerable bonus of famous general points, but the bonus is relatively small. The two are still some distance away from being promoted to famous generals, and this level of victory will not provide them with famous general points. I am afraid that only a battle to exterminate the Wuhuan clan will increase some famous general points.

According to their intelligence, the Wuhuan tribe had two first-class generals, namely the two younger brothers of the Great Chanyu, the Second Chanyu and the Third Chanyu, who commanded all the soldiers of the Wuhuan tribe.
