Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 477 Zhang Liao Raids the Camp
Three thousand heavily armored cavalrymen were arranged in a V-shape, with three rows in front and back, moving forward in turns, and soon it was the second half of the night.

"General Zhang, we have already run for more than 80 miles, and there is still no trace of the enemy."

A soldier spoke to Zhang Liao anxiously.

The heavy cavalry ran eighty miles, which consumed a tremendous amount of physical energy. Even though each man was equipped with three horses, and every time the three rows of soldiers changed order, the soldiers would change horses at the same time, but despite this, everyone began to feel a little tired.

Zhang Liao also frowned as he looked at the wilderness around him. Not to mention the tribes and military camps, there was not even a single person in sight.

"General, how about... how about we go back..."

Several soldiers began to back off.

"What do you mean by going back? The other generals are no ordinary ones either. Now that eight days have passed, they must have already arrived in Pingcheng County, not to mention General Guan. If we go back now, we will definitely be the last one. The result will be the same anyway, so why bother fighting?"

The soldiers thought about it and realized that it was true, so they didn't mention it again.

But although he said this, Zhang Liao himself was actually upset and even began to doubt whether he had been too greedy in suggesting that he lead the army alone.

He took a deep breath of the cool night air, trying to keep himself calm.

"There is a hill ahead. I will go up and have a good look."

Zhang Liao waved his whip and ran towards the hillside.

"Alas, where on earth is this Ke Bineng hiding? We have already passed the border of Youzhou Dai County, and I am afraid he is already north of Shanggu County. Why can't we see any trace of him?"

He felt annoyed and when he looked up, he saw an unknown small tree growing abruptly on the hillside in front of him. The trunk was only as thick as his arm.

"Hey, a tree dares to stand in the way of this general."

He swung the black and yellow sickle and chopped the tree down with one blow.

Perhaps because the pent-up anger in his heart was finally released, Zhang Liao finally felt a little better and continued riding his horse up the mountain.

However, as soon as he reached the top of the mountain and looked forward, Zhang Liao was immediately stunned.

"This...this is..."

There is a vast grassland before my eyes. Under the moonlight and starlight, small streams reflect bright light, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

However, this was not what Zhang Liao was concerned about. What really surprised him was that when he walked across this grassland, he saw tents pitched densely one after another. Looking around, he didn't know where the end was.

In the camp, there were piles and groups of livestock and war horses, some sleeping and some drinking water.

In the camp, one could occasionally see a small group of soldiers holding torches walking back and forth. Judging from their attire, they were undoubtedly Xianbei people.

"Found it, I found it! With so many tents, it must be the tribe that Kebineng belongs to!"

Zhang Liao's mood at this moment was a hundred times more excited than when he first got married!
Just as he was about to go down the mountain, he suddenly turned back, lay on the top of the mountain, and carefully observed the entire camp.

"Well, this Ke Bineng is quite capable. Judging from the layout of the camp and the intensity of the training, he is much stronger than the Xianbei army in Yanmen and Shuofang. But compared with our Anmin Army, it is simply not worth mentioning and has many flaws. Okay, let's attack from this direction!"

After he had made up his mind, he turned around and ran quickly down the mountain.

"Found it, found it!"

As soon as he returned to the soldiers, he deliberately lowered his voice and repeated the same sentence in an excited voice.

When the soldiers heard this, they were confused at first, but soon came to their senses.

"General Zhang, could it be... could it be that Ke Bineng is on the other side of the mountain?"

Zhang Liao nodded heavily and said, "That's right! After passing these hillsides, within three miles, you will find their camp! The outer area is the tents of the people, and the central area is the camp of the Xianbei army. I roughly estimated that the Xianbei cavalry should be around 20,000 to 30,000. There is a forest in the north, where the defense is the weakest, and there are no Xianbei people's tents as a buffer, which is just right!"

"What are you waiting for? Let's get going!"

"Hey, these Xianbei cowards, they brag about being brave warriors on weekdays, but when they set up camp, they let the unarmed people serve as a buffer zone for them. This alone shows that the enemy has lost their will. What are we afraid of?"

Three thousand cavalrymen mounted their horses, each of them full of fighting spirit.

Zhang Liao was also very happy to see such high morale.

"Okay! It's almost past midnight, which is the time when people sleep the most. We are dressed in black and immersed in the darkness. If we don't look carefully, we really can't see clearly. Let's take this opportunity to bypass the enemy camp and attack directly from the south!"

Three thousand cavalrymen, wearing black helmets and armor, even their scimitars were black. It was a new moon, but it was cloudy, and the little moonlight was often blocked by clouds. It was not pitch dark, but it was really hard to see anything on the ground. Such an army was galloping in the dark night. At first glance, only the sound of horse hooves could be heard, but no one could see the horses.

A team of Hun patrol soldiers were yawning, when suddenly one of them heard the sound of horse hooves and hurriedly pushed the person next to him.

"Listen, why are there so many horse hoof sounds in the middle of the night?"

The soldier listened carefully and it seemed as if something appeared and disappeared from time to time, probably a group of horses running not far away, but he did not take it seriously.

"Why, one of those people must have left his rope loose, or some wild horses have gotten loose."

"It doesn't look like it... do you think it could be... the Han people are coming to attack?" "Well, so what? We went to the Han people's territory to rob things only a few days ago. If they really come, they are the Han army in Youzhou, they can't beat us at all. What's more, there are only a few soldiers and horses with the sound of horse hooves, and they will die if they come. I think it must be wild horses."

"Well... you do have a point, but if something goes wrong, won't the leader kill us? It's better to go out and take a look."

"You said you...Okay, okay, brothers, let's go and take a look."

The dozen or so patrolling soldiers headed in the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from.

Passing by layer upon layer of tents, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, but there was still no sign of any fighting, so the dozen people gradually calmed down.

"Look, I told you, it must be wild horses. Otherwise, the sound is so close, they must have attacked our camp."

The soldier from before said this in a complaining tone.

The soldier who asked the question initially also said apologetically: "Alas, you guys have made such a wasted trip. Let's go back..."

Before he uttered the word "go", another soldier next to him suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had seen something terrible.

"Ride... ride... cavalry! Han cavalry!"

Upon hearing this, the other soldiers hurriedly turned around to look, but through the gaps between the tents, they could only hear sounds but could not see any human figures.

"What are you doing? You're making a fuss and scaring me. Where did these Han cavalrymen come from?"

The man still looked panicked, and kept shouting: "I saw it, it's really Han cavalry, hurry, go out and take a look!"

He took the lead and rushed out of the camp, and the others had no choice but to follow.

Finally, we were out of the camp and saw an empty space. From the sound, it was obviously coming from our left side, so we instinctively looked to the left.

"Hmm? There seems to be a group of war horses over there, but I can't see clearly..."

"Look, they ran into those woods."

"I think it's the wild horses. Only wild horses wouldn't dare to charge into the camp. If it were the Han army, how could it be possible?"

"But...but I just saw someone riding a warhorse! Let's blow the realm horn quickly..."

"Are you crazy? If you are mistaken, if we blow the horn in the middle of the night, even if the leader doesn't punish us, the others will scold us to death!"

"But……"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Let's just inform the captain of the situation. It's his business how to deal with it. This way, even if something happens later, it can't be blamed on us."

"Yeah, that's fine, let's go."

A dozen people walked back to the camp, and after many twists and turns, they finally arrived outside a tent.

"Captain, we have discovered something and are here to report it to you!"

"Hululu...Hululu..."

The only response they got from inside the tent was the sound of snoring.

"What a lousy captain! He was supposed to be on duty tonight, but he secretly went to sleep!"

"What should we do now? Let's blow the horn..."

"Blow, blow, blow, blow your head! The captain is sleeping, so let's sleep too. Those who dare not come into our camp, even if it is a cavalry, are just a group of cowards who happened to pass by. How could they have the courage to attack us? Sleep, sleep, I'm so sleepy."

This group of patrolling Xianbei soldiers were just about to take a nap when a burst of shouting and killing suddenly rang out.

"Kill!"

"Capture Kebineng alive!"

After the shouts and cries of killing, there were screams and the neighing of war horses.

These sentences were in Chinese. Although the Xianbei people did not understand them, how could they not know what was happening?
"It's over, blow the horn quickly..."

Just as the sound of the horn resounded throughout the camp, Zhang Liao, leading three thousand purple-gold dragon riders, had already broken into the Xianbei camp.

"Haha, stupid Xianbei people, stupid Kebi Neng, here I am, Zhang Liao!"

Zhang Liao wielded the black and yellow sickle, slashing left and right. The Xianbei soldiers died under his sword one by one. Torches fell to the ground and set the tents on fire.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang Liao felt very happy, as if something deep in his heart was about to burst out.

"This camping feeling is so awesome! So awesome!"

He had always served under Guan Yu, and although he was brave, he always followed the rules. Now, this exhilarating and thrilling battle really made all the blood vessels in his body swell and his blood boil!
