Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 277 Xianbei Prince
The Xianbei people were mainly composed of cavalry and were not good at defending the city. Moreover, they had no intention of defending the city. Therefore, more than a thousand soldiers were scattered inside the city and the northern part of the city, supervising the work of tens of thousands of Han slaves.

Guan Yu led the army and rushed into the city almost effortlessly.

"General, why is there no one in the city?"

Qian Ning looked around, and there was indeed no one to be seen on the few streets he could see.

Guan Yu also discovered this situation.

"It's okay. The villagers said before that there are still more than 10,000 people in the city. Let's spread out and look for them."

Zhang Liao, Qian Ning, Zhou Yuan, Dai Le, Qin Chu, Yan Quan, as well as Guan Yu himself, each led a group of people and went in different directions to look for people.

Guan Yu led several thousand soldiers and searched the east of the city for most of the day, but could not see anything except dilapidated houses and streets full of fallen leaves, as if this city was a deserted city that had been vacant for many years.

"How is this going?"

Guan Yu frowned and thought hard.

Just then, a messenger ran over.

"General, we found the people!"

Guan Yu was now in high spirits: "Lead the way!"

Led by the messenger, the group took many turns and soon arrived at a place in the north of the city.

Zhang Liao and Qin Chu, leading several thousand Purple Gold Dragon Riders, were confronting more than a thousand Xianbei Riders. When they saw Guan Yu coming, they looked relieved.

But Guan Yu was different from them. When he came here and saw the situation behind those Xianbei soldiers, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed!

Behind the Xianbei people, rows of houses were all converted into blacksmith shops.

In these blacksmith shops, a large number of emaciated people with disheveled hair, ragged clothes, and thin faces were working under the whip of another small group of Xianbei soldiers.

Just by looking at the appearance of these people, you can tell what kind of life they lead on a daily basis. Not only that, almost every one of them has scars all over their bodies, which is shocking.

Around them and in various corners outside the house, Guan Yu could vaguely see various corpses lying there, some of which had turned into bones, while others had obviously died not long ago.

"This is our Han army. The imperial court has sent people to rescue us..."

Some craftsmen were very happy to see Guan Yu and others. They dropped their tools and ran over.

"court death!"

The Xianbei soldiers who were supervising on the side showed no mercy. They rushed forward and hacked all the people to death.

"An dare, thief!"

Guan Yu shouted angrily, and the purple-gold dragon riders rushed forward a few steps.

However, at this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot towards Guan Yu's face.

"Humph!"

Guan Yu had been training with Liu He using flying stones for many years and did not take this trick seriously at all.

He held the side of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in front of himself and blocked the hidden arrow.

"Who are you, you coward? How can you be considered a hero if you hide away like that? Are all Xianbei people such shameless villains?"

Guan Yu's roar immediately spread in all directions.

"Clap clap clap..."

A sound of applause was heard, and then a man rode out on horseback. The Xianbei cavalry blocking the way in front of them all made way for him.

Guan Yu looked at the person who came and saw that he was about thirty years old. He was wearing fur clothes and the warhorse he was riding was much taller than the ones ridden by other Xianbei cavalrymen. Although it was slightly inferior to his own Chiyan Jueying, it was still a pretty good horse.

"Hmph, you are the commander of these Xianbei dog slaves, right?"

His words immediately made the Xianbei people look angry.

The man was not angry and rode forward.

"I am Yi Dun, the eldest prince of the Yilan tribe of the Xianbei. This general rashly led his troops to invade my tribal border and kill my people. Is this the style of your so-called etiquette country?"

This man spoke Chinese very fluently, which surprised everyone.

However, Guan Yu ignored him and just sneered.

"Hehe, this is really ridiculous. You grew up in the northern grasslands, invaded our Han territory, and killed our Han people. Now you are so high-sounding and say such despicable words. You are a barbarian and foreign country, and you are really unreasonable."

Guan Yu was taller and rode a horse than Yi Dun. He was looking down on him. He held his head high, squinted his eyes, and looked down on him. This made Yi Dun feel a little unhappy. "Humph, since ancient times, the strong have always been the first. You Han people are cowardly, so it is only natural that we have taken away your land."

Guan Yu sneered: "In that case, no need to say more, my army is coming today, swearing to trample you into dust and recapture the city, show your weapons!"

"Crush them into dust and take back the city!"

Several other troops also rushed over at this time. There were a total of 20,000 soldiers, shouting in unison, scaring the mere 1,000 or so Xianbei cavalry in front of them so much that they turned pale.

Yidun frowned, obviously not expecting that the Han army could actually dispatch so many cavalry this time. This was really unbelievable.

"Who are you? Please tell me your name."

Guan Yu did not answer, but Qian Ning beside him stood up.

"Listen carefully, common man. We are from Yanmen Pass, and this is our General Guan Yu."

Yidun's face changed.

"Could it be that you are one of the generals stationed at Yanmen Gate of the Han Dynasty, the red-faced Guan Yu?"

Guan Yu glanced at him and said through his nose: "I thought you were just an ignorant kid, but it seems that there are still some smart people among you Xianbei people. Since you know my name, you should let my Han people go quickly, and then you and I will find a battlefield and fight to the death!"

The soldiers led by Guan Yu had tempers not much better than his. Even when facing a weak position, they would never be discouraged. What's more, their own strength was much stronger than that of the enemy. Therefore, all the soldiers of the Purple Gold Dragon Riders held their heads high and looked at the Xianbei people with their noses raised.

Seeing that the situation was so favorable for them, several people who were working couldn't help but want to jump out again.

The Xianbei supervisor beside him was about to explode, but as soon as he raised his hand, he heard a few "whoosh" sounds, and the supervisors fell to the ground.

Behind Guan Yu, a heroic young man put down the longbow in his hand.

"You Xianbei people are not the only ones who can shoot arrows."

"Lu Ning, well done!"

Zhang Liao gave Yan Quan a thumbs up.

Yidun could no longer maintain his previous calm look. At this moment, his face was gloomy and his heart was full of regret.

"Damn it, I'm really asking for death. Why did I have to ask my father for permission to come to this damn place? These Han people are the same. They guarded Yanmen Gate to block our Xianbei attacks twice, but they dared to take the initiative to send troops to attack us. Don't they want to die?"

Although he was extremely regretful at the moment, the current situation did not allow him to hesitate any longer.

He thought quickly in his mind, and soon an idea came to him.

Guan Yu became a little impatient when he saw that the other party didn't react.

"What? Are you stubborn? Do you want to test whether Guan's knife is sharp?"

Guan Yu held up his Green Dragon Sword and rode his horse forward a few steps. The Purple Gold Dragon Riders followed closely and pressed forward.

"Wait a minute!" Yidun shouted quickly.

"It's not impossible to release these Han people, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

As soon as he said this, the Purple Gold Dragon Riders became angry.

"You barbarians are so ignorant and ridiculous. Now our army is approaching, 20,000 of us against 1,000 of you. You still dare to make conditions with us? You don't know how to live or die!"

"That's right, we can kill you with just a flick of our fingers. If you are smart, let these people go. You and I will have a real fight. Even if you lose, you will be worthy of being a man."

Yi Dun ignored these words, he just looked at Guan Yu.

"My request is very simple. I have long heard from the soldiers who returned from the Battle of Yanmen that your generals from Yanmen are so brave and heroic, but I, Yidun, just don't believe it. In my opinion, that so-called Xianbei's first warrior Manghuo is just a fraud. How can you Han generals compare to the bravery of us Xianbei people?"

Guan Yu asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Hey, if you have the guts, let's have a duel between the two commanders. If you win, I will release these people. If you lose, then you will lead your troops out of the city immediately and you are not allowed to enter the city or pursue us within one day. How do you think?"

"Bullshit! Who do you think you are? How dare you challenge our General Guan? Moreover, there is a huge disparity in strength between us. As long as we rush forward, you will all be killed by our swords."

Zhang Liao cursed.

"General, don't pay attention to him, let's go!"

Everyone was furious and urged Guan Yu to order an attack.

Yi Dun didn't even look at Zhang Liao, he just kept staring at Guan Yu.

But Guan Yu was lost in thought at this time.
