I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 370 You thieves, why do you need General Su to kill them with a sledgehammer?

The number of soldiers is not large but fine.

Su Yao, who took the route of elite troops, did not send many personnel this time, but not to mention the four generals Guan, Zhang, Zhao and Dian, even the escort team of a hundred men were all elite soldiers carefully selected by Su Yao from his own Red Cloud Knights and Gongsun Zan's White Horse Volunteers, with rich combat experience and extraordinary martial arts.

They faced an enemy that was nearly ten times their size, but not one of them showed fear or cowardice on their face. Instead, there was a gleam of determination in their eyes.

Inspired by these soldiers, the fifty new recruits Zhao Yun brought from Changshan quickly recovered from their panic and gradually regained their courage and confidence.

"Form a battle line!" Zhao Yun gave an order and the Han soldiers quickly took action.

On the hillside, behind the defense line drawn up by their carts, the soldiers quickly spread out according to the predetermined positions, filling the gaps, ready to deal with the charges of the Wuhuan cavalry at any time.

However, the expected shock did not occur.

Amid the flying snow, Tadun stood out from the crowd and shouted at the bottom of the hill in fairly fluent Chinese to persuade the enemy to surrender:

"Listen, young Han general on the hill. I am Tadun, the king's nephew."

"Put down your weapons immediately and hand over King Qiuliju, and I will spare your lives!"

Tadun's words echoed in the wind and snow, but the Han soldiers on the hillside remained expressionless and unmoved.

After a while, Zhao Yun, wearing a white horse and a silver helmet, rode out with a cold look in his eyes. He responded:
"Tadun the thief, you are defeated by your men, how dare you speak so arrogantly here?"

"Retreat quickly, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you persist in doing so, you will never return!"

Seeing that these Han troops were unmoved, a hint of ferocity flashed in Tadun's eyes.

The reason why he came to persuade them to surrender was naturally because he found that this battle was not easy to fight.

Not only did they lose a wave of men before the battle, but the Han army was also prepared and occupied a high position on the hillside.

If they rush up the mountain in the snow, the power of their cavalry will be greatly weakened.

Even if they win, they are afraid they will suffer considerable casualties.

This was obviously not something he wanted to see.

However, the king was captured and humiliated in public. He could not sit idly by and watch such a great humiliation.

Fortunately, according to the information just received from the scouts, it has been confirmed that there are no ambushes around, and the most difficult Su Yao does not have time to get here.

He still has an advantage.

So, Tadun opened his throat again and shouted:
"Don't be so arrogant, little Han general."

"Today, all my warriors have arrived. You are only a few hundred strong. How can you resist?"

"Your General Su is too far away to save you."

"If you don't want to die, surrender. Otherwise, we will send out our army and crush you to dust!"

However, before Tadun finished his words, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the hillside.

Amidst the laughter, a figure rode out from behind the hillside. His green robe was particularly eye-catching among the red-robed soldiers around him. It was none other than Guan Yu.

He was seen holding a crescent-shaped sword, with his head held high and looking majestic:
"You thieves are nothing but chickens and dogs. Why do you need General Su to use a sledgehammer to kill chickens?"

"If you have the guts, Tadun, come out and fight with me, and I'll chop off your head."

As soon as Guan Yu said this, the atmosphere in the valley suddenly became tense. The Wuhuan knights were impressed by the aura of this red-faced, bearded Han general, and they all tightened their weapons. Even Tadun's eyes flashed with a trace of fear.

It was not that he was afraid of Guan Yu, but this scene brought back an unforgettable memory for him. This scene was indeed familiar.

On that day, the young general named Su looked just like this. He arrogantly challenged the other soldiers to a duel outside Pingyuan City and killed them all.

Unexpectedly, the officers under this guy are also so arrogant.
Tadun was surprised, and Zhao Yun was also shocked.

Just now, when they saw the Wuhuan coalition forces coming, they discussed together how to hold on.

Guan Yu just stroked his beard to show that he was willing to rub the enemy's morale first.

But Zhao Yun really didn't expect that this would be the solution.

Yes, I think the enemy general will not show up if we invite him to fight. He is so cautious in avoiding the fight. Not only will it damage the enemy's morale, but it will definitely boost the morale of our side.

Sure enough, Tadun refused the duel on the grounds that he was the king's nephew and the leader of Tadun, and his status was noble, and an unknown person was not worthy of fighting him.

Then, a loud booing broke out from the Han army positions on the hillside.

Such a scene immediately dampened the morale of the Wuhuan coalition forces, while the morale of the Han army soldiers was greatly boosted. Laughter and boos rose one after another, echoing throughout the valley.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei added fuel to the fire and shouted:
"Tadun, if you don't dare to fight, then retreat quickly. Don't be a coward!"

Such taunting made the Wuhuan soldiers at the foot of the mountain blush. Many of them shouted and clamored to rush up the mountain to fight the Han army. Especially the brave warrior Hao Duo, he took the initiative to volunteer:
"Why is Chief Tadun so cowardly? Let me go and chop off the head of this nameless person!"

"Captain Hao Duo must not be careless."

Kulum advised:

"Although this man is unknown, he is tall and strong, and he always follows General Nasu in the front line of the battle. He must be a Han warrior without a doubt."

However, Hao Duo was already so excited that his blood was boiling, so he would never listen to the advice of the defeated general Kurumu.

As a general under Lou Ban, he would not let Tadun take all the credit.

Now they have such a good opportunity to break the situation with their own abilities. As long as they take the initiative to kill this Han general, they will also make great contributions in the future when they take back the king under the command of Tadun.

Finally, at the strong request of Hao Duo and the encouragement of the soldiers, Tadun decided to let the brave leader of the tribe fight against the green-robed Han general, just to test the quality of these Han people.

So, after instructing Hao Duo not to be careless, Tadun sent this warrior to fight.

In the wind and snow, Hao Duo was like an arrow shot from a bow, waving the long sword in his hand, shouting loudly and rushing towards the hillside.

When Guan Yu saw that the one attacking was not Tadun, he snorted coldly, "The evil general will die," and he also picked up his crescent-shaped sword and went to meet him.

For a moment, the attention of the soldiers from both armies was focused on the duel that was about to begin.

For Hao Duo, this is not only a battle concerning personal honor, but also an important battle concerning the future of the Wuhuan tribe.

He knew that he was shouldering the expectations of the tribe, so he had to do his best.

Hao Duo ignited a burning determination during the charge.

Guan Yu, who was slowly descending the hillside, was no less impressive.

Liu Bei had reminded them many times before that one should repay a favor with gratitude. They had received great favor from Lord Su, and now was the time for him to contribute.

Amid the sound of horse hooves, Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, with his crescent-shaped sword dragging at his side, like a ferocious beast ready to attack, with a biting light flashing in his eyes.
