Chapter 437 Guan Yu Rides Alone for Thousands of Miles, and the Frightened King Dongxian
Nine days ago, Xun Yu, a subordinate of Cao Cao, bribed the county magistrate of a small county town in Beidi County, Liangzhou, with 1,000 taels of gold. The man was a fellow villager of Xun Yu. Under Xun Yu's kindness and force, he accepted Xun Yu's 1,000 taels of yellow scarves and informed Xun Yu of the news that Huang Zhong and Ma Chao were heading to Wuhuan at the border of Liangzhou and Bingzhou.
After learning about it, Xun Yu immediately returned to Xuchang City and told Cao Cao about it. Cao Cao naturally knew what Gu Rubing was thinking. After learning that there were only Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, and only 5,000 cavalry, Cao Cao made a prompt decision and asked Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren under his command to go out together with 20,000 cavalry from Xudu to Silizhou, and then detour to Wuhuan.
It took them seven days to reach the Wuhuan territory. Just after entering the territory for a hundred miles, they encountered Huang Zhong and Ma Chao, who had just broken through the siege and were still being chased by the Wuhuan cavalry, and the remaining thousand cavalry. Thus, a long-range pursuit and siege war began!
"Prime Minister, is it too late to support now?"
Gu Rubing asked hurriedly. Ma Chao and Huang Zhong were both first-class generals, two of the Five Tiger Generals. If they lost these two people at once, it would be an unacceptable blow to Gu Rubing. It also meant that Liangzhou and Yuzhang County would probably be out of Gu Rubing's jurisdiction.
"Things are in human hands, not in God's will."
Zhuge Liang did not directly say the result. He had just leaked the secret, which was a great disgrace to the world. If he continued to leak it, he would be doomed to damage his fortune and suffer heaven's punishment. He could only give a hint. The final result still depended on what Gu Rubing did.
"Yunchang, I'll have to trouble you to go to Wuhuan again."
Gu Rubing turned his head to look at Guan Yu beside him. Guan Yu seemed to be worried and was reluctant to speak. Gu Rubing knew what Guan Yu was worried about and spoke immediately.
"Yunchang, don't worry. I'm in Qingzhou. Who else can harm me? The Bai Li soldiers and Qinglong school swordsmen are still there. Don't you still worry about the soldiers you brought with you?"
Guan Yu heard the voice and stopped worrying and stood up.
"Zhou Cang! Pei Yuanshao!"
Two people outside the house heard the voice and entered the room and listened to the order at the door.
"You two, be sure to protect my eldest brother!"
"My lord, don't worry! Even if we die, we will never die after the prince!"
Zhou Cang clasped his fists and bowed, his eyes full of murderous intent, and Pei Yuanshao beside him did the same.
"Bring Guan's big knife!"
Guan Yu waved his hand, took three steps forward, and turned to face Gu Rubing.
"Brother, Yunchang will be back soon!"
"Yunchang, please pay attention to your safety."
Gu Rubing warned. Although Guan Yu can now be described as invincible, Gu Rubing knows that because of their crossing, this world will no longer be the same as before. Since his subordinates can obtain various bonuses, characteristics, and special skills, Cao Cao and his men must also have them. If they capsize in the ditch, it will not be good.
However, as long as Guan Yu is careful, with their current strength, there is definitely no way to deal with Guan Yu, so Gu Rubing deliberately warned him a few more words.
"Brother, don't worry! Yunchang will definitely bring Han Sheng and Meng Qi back intact!"
After saying this, Guan Yu turned and left. Time was urgent. If they left a quarter of an hour later, they would have an extra quarter of an hour of risk. Zhou Cang was already waiting at the door with Guan Yu's sword. Guan Yu picked up his Qinglong Yanyue Sword, then stepped on the Red Hare and galloped out of the mansion.
The blood-red Red Hare rushed out like a red stream of light and disappeared into the mansion.
After the last battle, Guan Yu's Martial Saint points reached 10 points, unlocking the Martial Saint feature, which can provide 1000% movement speed for the mount and -90% horse stamina consumption. This is only effective when Guan Yu rides Red Hare. In addition, a small symbol (10/20) also appears behind the Martial Saint points on Guan Yu's panel, which means that when Guan Yu's Martial Saint points accumulate to 20, he will get another special effect.
With a huge movement speed bonus, plus only Guan Yu going alone, without waiting for the troops, Guan Yu's speed is incredibly fast. Just run like this, in less than a day, Guan Yu can rush from Qingzhou to Wuhuan, which is more than 3,000 kilometers away from Qingzhou. Compared with the terrifying speed of 800 kilometers a day and 1,000 kilometers a night that only exists in legends, it is even faster.
What's even more terrifying is the sentence at the end, the horse's physical strength consumption -90%, which means that the consumption of the Red Hare has increased to ten times the original. A thousand-mile horse that almost does not need to rest and has ten times the endurance, let alone a thousand gold, will not be sold even for ten thousand gold.
Watching Guan Yu disappear in an instant, Gu Rubing realized the importance of legendary generals more deeply. Legendary generals are not in the same class as other generals, so it is even more important to protect Ma Chao and Huang Zhong. It can be said that the two are ranked in the top ten in the Three Kingdoms, one fifth and the other seventh. It is only a matter of time before they are promoted to legendary generals. Gu Rubing is reluctant to let them die in Wuhuan in such an unclear way.
"I hope everything goes well."
Gu Rubing said softly.
At the junction of the Xiongnu, the Dongxian Royal Court, the Zhongxian Royal Court, and the Nanxian Royal Court, Dian Wei led 3,800 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and joined forces with Cao Ren led 20,000 cavalry. Because in front of them, a large mass of Xiongnu cavalry were ready for battle. Everywhere they looked, they saw Xiongnu cavalry, and there was no end in sight.
In front of the Huns cavalry formation, the two gods of war, King Dongxian and the King of the Fourth Court of Dongxian Royal Court, were quietly waiting for Dian Wei and the others to arrive. After King Dongxian had a meeting from the West Xian Royal Court, he immediately returned to his own territory and took over his own territory. All the cavalry that could be won over were summoned.
As the second largest force among the five royal courts, the Dongxian Royal Court gathered a cavalry team of 80,000 people and arrived at the place where Dian Wei must pass, blocking Dian Wei in the middle. Outside the Court of the Xian King, he also has four first-rate generals under his command, and the two war gods are also at the level of peak second-rate generals. It can be said that as long as the Court of the West Xian King does not appear, the Court of the East Xian King will be invincible in the Huns. This is also the reason why King Dongxian is so arrogant despite his young age, because he has the capital to be arrogant.
"Hey, two-legged sheep! Whose dog are you? Tell me your name, and don't let your grandfather know who he killed after killing him! When the time comes, when grandpa breaks the Han Dynasty, he will go find your master and let him You are reunited with your master underground!"
Before Dianwei and the others approached, King Dongxian asked the person responsible for scolding him to hold a simple iron loudspeaker and shout loudly, and the curses were very dirty. After the boy next to him finished shouting, King Dongxian became arrogant and loud. Laughing, then suddenly turned to look at the boy beside him. Seeing the boy's confused look, King Dongxian grinned, took out the scimitar from his waist, and chopped off his head with one blow.
"Come on, come on, one more, everything I say will be passed on, including laughter!"
After King Dongxian finished the killing, he didn't bother to look at the corpse. He waved behind him and motioned for one of the people to come over. That row of people were all specially selected by him to be responsible for shouting in front of the formation.
The person who was called out picked up the trumpet that the person had dropped with trembling hands. The blood on it was still warm, but the temperature passed quickly, just like the speed of life.
"Hahaha--"
The next moment, the knife was raised and dropped again.
"Is this how I laugh? You can't even imitate me by riding on a horse. Come on, come on, hurry up!"
One person walked out of the team again, picked up the trumpet that had been stained with the blood of the two people, restrained his fear, held the trumpet and started laughing, and King Dongxian nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing that the other party suddenly lost his voice, and then there were a few more sounds like laughter? Then it stopped abruptly, and then started laughing wildly. This inexplicable sound made Dian Wei, who was originally very angry, actually somewhat cooled off at this moment, but in the next moment, his anger that had just calmed down started to burn again. .
"Two-legged sheep, are you mute? Tell me your master's name quickly, otherwise don't blame me for not leaving you a complete corpse!"
At the signal of King Dongxian, the boy with the trumpet continued to talk nonsense. Dian Wei held his big halberd and immediately started to charge. Fortunately, he was stopped by Cao Zhang. After all, he was Cao Cao's son. What he said was Dian Wei still had some effect here, restraining Dian Wei who was about to get angry.
"General Dian Wei, don't be angered by that guy's aggressive tactics. They have a large number of troops and have an advantage. It's not appropriate for us to take the initiative."
Dian Wei naturally knew this truth, but he was too angry and couldn't bear the other party's insults. It didn't matter if he scolded him. The main reason was that the other party scolded Cao Cao, which was the real reason for his anger.
"Sir, please leave King Dongxian to me later."
Dian Wei said angrily, and Cao Zhang nodded. In fact, Cao Zhang was asked to follow Dian Wei not because of how strong Cao Zhang was in combat, but also because of his accurate judgment of the situation. The most important thing was that, as Cao Cao's son, Cao Zhang said Dian Wei could still listen to some of his words. At this point, even famous generals such as the Xiahou brothers and Cao Ren could not compare to Cao Zhang.
Another more important reason is that Cao Zhang is not far away from being promoted to a famous general, so he is asked to follow Dian Wei to see if he can catch a chance and promote him to a famous general.
Although legendary generals are strategic entities, the existence of famous generals cannot be ignored.
"His grandma's, are those Han people across the street cotton? Are you not angry when you scold them like this?"
King Dongxian couldn't help but feel a little angry as he watched the other party start to form a formation, completely ignoring his own intention.
"A bunch of mutes, kill them, I have no interest in them anymore."
Then, the boy on the side started repeating King Dongxian's words with a loudspeaker. King Dongxian looked at the man in surprise, with deep disgust in his eyes, and raised the knife again.
"Don't you know what should be repeated and what shouldn't be repeated?"
After speaking, King Dongxian raised his scimitar high.
"charge!"
The 80,000 Wuhuan cavalry began to charge. The cavalry on both sides rushed out first, and their speed was faster than the one in the middle. It was the formation of a long snake formation turning into a double dragon water formation, but the opponent obviously did not want to change the formation. No, they just wanted to kill Dian Wei and the others from both sides.
"Sir, according to the information we gathered before, the King of the Fourth Academy has entrusted me with those two bullshit Gods of War, and it's up to you to come."
Dian Wei saw the other party taking the initiative to charge. Not only did he smile evilly, he held his halberd in front of him, eager to try. His eyes were fixed on King Dongxian who was at the back of the team. King Dongxian seemed to feel something coming from him. Dian Wei's eyes pointed at Dian Wei with his scimitar, and then he made a gesture on his neck with his hand.
Cao Zhang rode beside Dian Wei, but Dian Wei did not ride a horse. He did not like to fight on horseback, but preferred foot battle, especially the feeling of fighting on foot against horseback. People said that horse battle was stronger than foot battle, but Dian Wei did not think so.
"General Dian, just rest assured, I will never let those two people affect General Dian's hunting."
With 23,800 cavalry, fighting against 80,000 cavalry, and more than 20,000 cavalry with 3,800 tiger and leopard cavalry, it can only be said that it is not too easy. Compared with the feat of Huang Zhong and Ma Chao fighting against 90,000 cavalry with only 5,000 cavalry, this situation can only be regarded as a small matter. If it was Zhang Liao, even the commander's skill of death battle could not be triggered.
The four kings of the Dongxian King's Court surrounded Dian Wei at the first time. Their target was this black-faced man. At this moment, they had the same idea as Dian Wei. They all believed that the advantage was in their own hands. One had strong confidence in his own troops, and the other had absolute information about his soldiers. Both sides felt that they would not lose and that the other would die.
The two sides were about to clash, but the 23,800 cavalrymen had the momentum of 200,000. Facing the 80,000 surging troops, they did not hesitate at all. At the moment when the two sides fought hand-to-hand, the Cao army, led by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, drove straight in and killed all the enemy troops in front of them. The enemy rushed forward one after another, but they could not stop the advance of the Cao army.
Just a few minutes after the battle, the Xiongnu cavalry had lost a terrifying 5,000 people. This horrific degree of loss made the King of Dongxian almost stagnant in place, looking at the flying limbs and arms on the battlefield with horror. Even a tyrant like the King of Dongxian, who killed people like crazy, was shocked by this scene and trembled all over.
He suddenly had a bad premonition, his right eyelid twitched wildly, and the hand that was holding the scimitar was now soaked with sweat. What shocked him the most was that in the encirclement of the four court kings under his command, the black-faced man who was fighting the four court kings with his own strength, the man carried a halberd and rushed into the encirclement of the four people.
Moreover, he now had the upper hand, suppressing the four court kings alone, and the halberd in his hand was like a magic weapon, and he actually chopped the West Court King off his horse with a halberd. The West Court King represented the highest combat power of his Dongxian King Court. The four court kings were almost the same, but now they had just met, and the man almost chopped the West Court King with his strength, which made the East Xian King feel a strong bad feeling in his heart.
