Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 684: Destroying the Bandits
The leading Xianbei commander was none other than Budugen, the leader of a Xianbei tribe who had been active in the northwest of Shuofang County. He looked much more mature than before, and although he was less than forty years old, he had white hair on his temples.

As Budugen charged, he shouted, "My men, the Xiongnu were driven out of the grassland by our Xianbei a hundred years ago. If they dare to show up again now, they are courting death! Whoever can obtain the head of the Xiongnu Right Wise King will be rewarded with a piece of silk, five pieces of gold ornaments, and the honor of being conferred an imperial title by the court!"

The prosperity of the Hu market in recent years has led to the emergence of more and more Han goods in the Xianbei tribes. Silk, gold, silver, jade and the like were originally very rare in the Xianbei tribes. Even the leaders of the tribes might not have many of them, and it was impossible for them to be given out as rewards, and several at a time.

Now, thanks to Hu Shi, many Xianbei tribal leaders and generals have more or less one or two pieces of silk clothing, as well as a few gold, silver and jade artifacts. The more so, the more they feel that these things produced by the Han people are truly magnificent and extremely precious. So when they heard that Budugen was so generous this time, the Xianbei generals and many soldiers behind him were all anxious.

Seeing that there were at least 30,000 or 40,000 Xianbei cavalrymen, the Right Wise King was greatly shocked but did not dare to be careless.

"The Han army in the city is nothing to be afraid of. Fight the Xianbei with me first, and then attack the city after you win!"

The Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes had deep grievances against each other. When he gave the order, all the Xiongnu soldiers had red eyes, turned around, and rushed towards the Xianbei cavalry.

The two sides were only less than ten miles apart, and both sides were cavalry. After charging hard, they naturally came together quickly.

As the saying goes, enemies become jealous of each other when they meet. Moreover, the forces of both sides are equal. Everyone feels that he is extremely brave and can annihilate the other side in one fell swoop. Naturally, everyone rushes forward bravely.

However, just as the Right Wise King and several generals were fighting with Budugen and others, shouts of killing suddenly came from behind them.

When the Right Wise King heard the voice, he was suddenly startled. He turned around and saw that the city gate was wide open. A Han general, wielding a huge sword, led thousands of soldiers and attacked from the rear.

"Hun thieves, the border guard general Chen Lie is here, come and die!"

After Chen Lie was promoted by Liu He out of turn, he was always criticized because he came from a merchant family. Later, his father Chen Qing and He Chang, who were brought by the father and son, were both awarded titles for their contributions to building the city. Naturally, people around him looked down on him, the county lieutenant appointed by the emperor, and always thought that he was just lucky.

Chen Lie was feeling depressed and always wanted to find an opportunity to prove himself. A few days ago, he received news that the Huns were coming to attack the city. He immediately volunteered to Xun Chen and came to the city alone, leading thousands of soldiers in the city and cooperating well with Qu Hang.

Now that the plan was successful, he naturally led the charge and rushed out impatiently.

The Huns had more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, stretching for several miles. The vanguard troops had already been fighting with the Xianbei people, but the rear army had just run a short distance out of the city when they were soon caught up by Chen Lie's troops.

With a few swings of the huge sword in his hand, he took the lives of several Hun soldiers.

The 5,000 soldiers he brought were all elite troops left by Liu He in Yunhai County to guard the border. Each of them could fight ten men at a time. In a blink of an eye, the Huns' rear army was covered with casualties.

Upon seeing this, the Right Wise King suddenly became anxious.

"Damn it, I fell into the Han people's trap!"

In Yuzhang County, outside Luling City, there is a hilly valley with dense bamboo forests swaying in the wind.

And in such a beautiful scenery, a group of Shanyue rebels appeared, jogging on their way.

The leaders in the lead were full of ambition and looked very happy.

One of them said, "Haha, the counties in Yangzhou are all very rich, and the garrisons are so incompetent that they are simply vulnerable. If we had known that the Han court was so weak, why would we have to hide in the mountains and live a hard life for so many years?"

"Isn't it? If someone hadn't tipped us off and told us to go down the mountain to plunder, we brothers wouldn't have had such a great harvest."

"Back then, the governor Chen Wen was a coward. Now this Liu Yao, I heard he's a royal relative, but he's not that strong. In just a short period of time, we've captured three cities and wiped out the tens of thousands of soldiers who came to encircle us. It's so satisfying."

The leaders were talking and laughing, which made the one in the middle look pleased.

"Brothers, what you said is right. The food and supplies we have robbed this time are enough for everyone to use for a year. We will reach Luling County in another 20 or 30 miles. After we rob this city, we will return to the mountains, recuperate, and come out again next year."

"Okay, the big boss has a thorough plan, and we will follow him till death!"

"Rob money, rob food, rob women, haha..."

The chieftain laughed wildly, and the chieftains around him were also very happy, laughing until they were out of breath. Suddenly, countless arrows shot out from the bamboo forests on both sides. The Shanyue soldiers who were smiling happily just now, in the blink of an eye, were screaming continuously, and countless people died under the rain of arrows.

"What's going on... Stop the chaos, the army should stop the chaos..."

The big leader was panicked and used the sword in his hand to block the arrows while constantly scolding everyone. However, they were suddenly ambushed. With the morale and combat skills of these Shanyue bandits, how could they not be in chaos?
After several rounds of arrow rain, the Shanyue soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining tens of thousands of bandits were terrified and had lost all morale.

At this moment, the rain of arrows suddenly stopped. However, before the bandits could be happy, many soldiers in standard armor rushed out from the bamboo forest.

"Kill..."

These soldiers were obviously well prepared. They rushed into the valley and faced the Shanyue soldiers who had no intention of fighting. It was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables for them.

The chief was horrified upon seeing this and no longer cared about his men.

"Damn it, I fell into a trap, run!"

At his reminder, five or six small leaders around him, as well as a small group of bandits, followed him and rushed towards the valley entrance.

Strangely, when the officers and soldiers saw them running away, they did not chase after them, which made the leader feel a little relieved.

"Captain, we'll be out of the valley soon. Once we're out, we'll be safe!"

A small leader shouted excitedly.

The chief looked at the valley entrance not far ahead, and a heavy stone in his heart fell.

At this moment, several figures suddenly rode out from both sides of the valley entrance and blocked their way.

"Captain, there is an ambush, what should we do..."

Several small leaders were in a panic.

"Why are you panicking? You are a bunch of rubbish. Look carefully. There are only four of them. We have hundreds of soldiers and horses. Are you afraid of them? I think these people must be the commanders of the Han army. Just rush up and kill them. Today's crisis will naturally be resolved."

After hearing what he said, everyone else also felt that it made a lot of sense.

A small leader volunteered: "Big leader, leave it to me. I will take a hundred people to get these four heads back."

The chief nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send you."

The little chief received the order, brought the white man with him, and rushed towards the four people at the entrance of the valley with murderous intent.

Among the four, two middle-aged generals and two teenagers looked at the Shanyue soldiers opposite them. Instead of being afraid, they looked disdainful and mocking.

One of the middle-aged generals looked at a heroic young man beside him and said, "Cer, I leave it to you."

The young man was none other than Sun Ce, who had ambushed and killed Yuan Shu and Ji Ling that day. When he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Don't worry, father. Leave these few troops to me!"

He raised the spear in his hand, squeezed the horse under his crotch hard, and rushed forward alone.

A moment later, at the mouth of the valley, there were screams and cries, scaring the birds in the bamboo forest on both sides to fly away...
