He turned to look at Urtu and grinned, "Uncle, what do you say?"
Urtus stood aside, his thin figure wrapped in a black robe, the bone beads in his hand turning with a clicking sound.
He narrowed his eyes and whispered, "It's better for the eldest prince to be cautious, but don't underestimate the enemy."
He Lian waved his hands impatiently: "Alright, alright, eight thousand people can't handle three hundred? Let's go!"
He pulled up the reins and led 8,000 cavalrymen to charge south, leaving 2,000 men to escort the baggage and slowly return north.
-
At this time, Guan Yu led 300 cavalrymen northward and had traveled dozens of miles. The wind was howling on the grassland and the view was wide, but he didn't see a single person.
She reined in her horse and stopped, her cold eyes swept around, and she whispered, "Something's wrong."
Logically speaking, there should be some traces of the Xianbei's looting along the way - burned villages, discarded debris, but this place is so quiet that it seems like no one has been there, and even the sound of birds can't be heard.
"General, there's no movement up ahead. Do you want to explore further?"
A deputy general rode his horse closer and asked in a low voice.
Guan Yu shook his head and said coldly, "Anywhere there is silence, there must be a detour. Change the entire army's route and make a detour to the northwest!"
She pulled the reins and led the cavalry off the original route, heading around a low hill, but they did not stay there for long and soon changed their marching direction again.
It was very easy to get lost in this winding march, and many people began to complain, but what they didn't know was that Guan Yu's intuition saved their lives.
Helian's 8,000 cavalry were coming back along the same route. If Guan Yu continued to move forward, he would definitely run into them.
But she changed her route several times, and with her keen perception and battlefield experience, she managed to pass by He Lian's large force several times, and even successfully went around the side and rear of the Xianbei baggage train.
This would be unlikely for any general, but He Lian did not inherit his father's shrewdness and talent. He just drank and had fun all day long and was extremely greedy and lustful.
After hearing the news about the Han army, he was anxious to swallow up these hundreds of people, so he chased them non-stop without even sending out scouts. It was really laughable.
While this glutton was still strolling, Guan Yu squinted his eyes and looked behind the hill. In the distance, dust was flying and two thousand Xianbei soldiers were slowly moving forward, guarding the baggage.
The convoy was dragging heavy supplies, and the soldiers were listless and walked crookedly. They were obviously the weaker group in the team.
She snorted coldly and whispered, "An opportunity delivered to your door."
"All troops, prepare to charge!"
Three hundred cavalrymen quickly formed up, with Guan Yu leading the way, his white robes rustling in the wind, his long sword raised high, a cold gleam flashing.
The warhorse under her crotch neighed and rushed down the hill first, followed closely by three hundred cavalrymen. The sound of their hooves was like thunder as they charged straight at the Xianbei baggage train.
"kill!"
Guan Yu shouted coldly, and the sword flashed like a streak of silk. The first blow split the chest of a Xianbei soldier, and blood splattered.
She charged into the enemy formation on horseback, and wherever her blade pointed, the enemy soldiers fell to the ground one after another. Her movements were clean and neat, like an ice and snow killer on the battlefield.
The Xianbei soldiers were caught off guard and immediately fell into chaos. Someone shouted, "Han army! The Han army is coming!"
But although they had two thousand people, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, with simple weapons and even few horses. How could they be a match for Guan Yu's three hundred elite cavalry?
A Xianbei captain tried to organize a resistance, brandishing his sword and shouting, "Don't panic, form a battle array to meet the enemy!"
But before he could finish his words, Guan Yu chopped off his head with his sword, and the head fell to the ground and rolled into the grass, with blood splattering three feet.
The cavalry took advantage of the situation and charged forward with swords and spears like a forest. The baggage train was instantly torn open, the carriages overturned, the treasures were scattered all over the ground, and the captives took advantage of the chaos to flee in all directions.
"Caught alive!"
Guan Yu gave the order in a cold voice. She lifted the reins of her horse and knocked a Xianbei soldier unconscious with the back of her sword. The soldiers quickly followed and tied up several fleeing enemy soldiers.
She squinted her eyes as she scanned the battlefield, whispering, "Two thousand men, escorting the baggage…but the main force isn't here."
She was startled and thought to herself, "The Xianbei army is probably not far away."
The battle ended quickly. The three hundred cavalrymen defeated the two thousand baggage train with thundering force and captured a dozen tongues, but apart from that they did not take any baggage on the ground.
Guan Yu reined in her horse and stopped. Her white clothes were stained with a few drops of blood, but it did not diminish her coolness in the slightest.
Her cold eyes swept over the Xianbei soldiers kneeling on the ground in surrender. She pondered for a few seconds before whispering, "...kill all of these people."
"only."
The deputy general nodded and ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
The wind was howling on the grassland. Guan Yu stood with his sword in hand, looking towards the north.
She knew that although she won this battle, it was just a small test.
Helian's 8,000 cavalry were still roaming nearby, and the greater threat - Tan Shihuai's main force - might have secretly laid a tight net.
She snorted coldly, thinking to herself, "Xianbei barbarians, I want to see how much you are capable of."
In the distance, He Lianzheng, with his eight thousand cavalrymen, had come up empty-handed and angrily shouted, "Where have these bastards gone?!"
He had no idea that his carefully planned "fat meat" plan had been chopped to pieces by Guan Yu.
And this hunt on the grassland has just begun.
Bingzhou: Chapter 14: Guan Yu, the God of War
The wind on the grassland was blowing harder and harder, and the eight thousand cavalrymen wandered in the vast sea of grass for most of the day, but they couldn't find any trace of Guan Yu's three hundred cavalrymen.
He rode on his horse, his wolfskin armor wrapped around him like a giant dumpling, brandishing his scimitar and cursing, "Where the hell have these bastards gone? I have eight thousand men, eight thousand! And we can't even catch a single one. It's so pissing me off!"
His face was covered in sweat, and he had lost all interest in chewing the lamb leg. He threw a bone at the deputy general next to him and shouted, "You bunch of useless people, where are the scouts? Where did they all go?"
The deputy general covered his head and muttered quietly, "Prince, the scouts said the Han army ran faster than rabbits. They must have escaped long ago..."
He Lian glared at him and slapped his saddle in anger: "Slipped away? I don't believe they can fly! Go back, go back and check on the baggage train, don't let them steal the chicken and lose the rice!"
He pulled the reins and turned back with his eight thousand cavalrymen, looking depressed, feeling that his trip had been in vain.
But they had not gone far when He Lian saw from afar that something was wrong with the quietness of the baggage train. Two thousand people were lying there, motionless, and not even the sound of horses could be heard.
He narrowed his eyes and frowned, "What's going on? Are they all asleep?"
As the wind blew, a strong smell of blood filled his nose. His heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale. "Oh no! They've been ambushed!"
He Lian hurriedly rode his horse forward, and eight thousand cavalrymen followed closely behind.
When he arrived at the baggage train, He Lian opened his eyes wide to see the bodies of his own soldiers scattered all over the ground, gold, silver and treasures scattered all over the ground, overturned carriages, and all the prisoners had escaped.
He jumped off the horse and almost stepped on a pool of blood, but his expression was relieved.
"Luckily, only a few people died. As long as the treasures aren't lost, it's fine. I was so scared..."
"Do it!"
But before He Lian could finish his words, a dozen large wooden boxes at the scene suddenly exploded with a "bang bang bang" sound, and wood chips flew all over the sky. He Lian was so scared that he fell to the ground, and the lamb leg bone rolled into the grass.
"kill!"
A cold shout came from the wooden box, and Guan Yu jumped out of the box in white clothes, holding a long sword with a cold glow, his eyes as cold as ice, and he looked heroic.
Following her, more than a dozen strong Han army warriors jumped out, each of them with murderous looks on their faces, holding swords and guns, like evil spirits crawling out of hell.
He Lian's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide enough to fit a fist in. "You, you guys are hiding in a box?!"
Before he could react, Guan Yu leaped up, swung his sword, and the blade flashed like a rainbow, instantly knocking down the two guards beside him, and blood sprayed all over his face.
He Lian was so frightened that he screamed "Ah!" and tried to run away as he got up: "Help! This woman is crazy!"
But Guan Yu didn't give him any chance. He swung his long sword continuously, and each blow was fatal. More than a dozen guards fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, and blood flowed like a river.
He Lian's legs went weak as he watched helplessly as the warriors rushed forward, pinned him to the ground like a chicken, and tied him up tightly.
He struggled and howled, "Let me go! I'm the eldest prince, how dare you arrest me?!"
Guan Yu glanced at him coldly, stabbed his sword to the ground, and said in a cold voice: "Stop making noise, I'm going to arrest you."
She hit him hard on the back with the back of the knife, and he cried out "ouch", buried his face in the grass, with his mouth full of mud, like a turtle with its shell turned over.
On the battlefield, the Xianbei cavalry were all dumbfounded. It was not until a long while later that someone shouted, "The eldest prince has been captured!"
"Don't let them escape..."
But before they could react, Guan Yu had already waved his hand: "Retreat!"
Guan Yu led a dozen warriors and escorted He Lian to retreat first. The three hundred cavalrymen had been ambushed as planned and had not yet appeared.
The 8,000 Xianbei cavalrymen came to their senses and immediately exploded: "Chase! Chase quickly! The prince cannot be lost!"
They galloped on their horses all the way to the bottom of a narrow valley. The road was flanked by steep cliffs and was so narrow that only five or six people could fit side by side, making it impossible for the cavalry to maneuver.
He Lian was tied to a horse with a cloth stuffed in his mouth. He kept whimpering and his face was full of fear.
Guan Yu let the warriors escort him ahead, while he himself held a long sword and stayed behind, turning around to face the pursuing Xianbei cavalry.
Her white clothes were stained with blood, and she glanced around with cold eyes, her face expressionless.
The Xianbei cavalry crowded at the mouth of the valley, and someone shouted, "Beware of an ambush!"
But another general gritted his teeth and said, "What a ridiculous ambush! If the prince is captured, we'll die if we go back! She's just a woman, what's there to be afraid of? Charge!"
"Too."
Then they swarmed in, swords and guns in hand, looking very aggressive.
But the Xianbei underestimated Guan Yu.
She took a deep breath, and the power of heaven in her body burst out instantly. Her eyes shone with golden light, and the ends of her long hair glowed with a strange green light. Her whole body was full of momentum.
She swung her sword, and the sword light was like a dragon. The five Xianbei soldiers who were rushing in the front were split in half, including their horses, and a bloody mist filled the air.
She shouted coldly: "Come again!"
"How brave, General Han! Take my sword if you dare!"
Six more people rushed forward, the knife flashed again, six heads rolled down, and blood splattered all over the ground.
"She's not human! She's a monster!"
The Xianbei soldiers were frightened out of their wits, but the valley was too narrow and those at the back could not retreat, while those in the front were pressing forward. Guan Yu stood alone at the pass, brandishing his long sword with such force that he could kill five of every five men he met, and six of every six men he met, ultimately killing hundreds of people.
Corpses filled the valley, blood flowed like a river, and the following Xianbei soldiers were completely terrified. Someone shouted, "Don't attack! She's going crazy!"
They pushed and shoved each other, not daring to take another step forward.
"Come on!"
"The enemy has fallen into our trap!"
At this moment, a deafening sound of horse hooves came from the back of the valley, and Guan Yu's disappeared three hundred cavalrymen suddenly rushed out and rushed in from the rear of the Xianbei.
The leading deputy general saw from afar that Guan Yu was the only one left, with corpses scattered all over the ground. His blood immediately boiled and he shouted, "General, you are mighty! Brothers, kill!"
The three hundred cavalrymen attacked like hungry wolves, with swords and spears in hand, and charged straight into the rear of the Xianbei army.
This group of cavalry had been fighting in the north for many years to fight against the Hu people. They were often treated like monkeys by the Xianbei people and were full of anger. When they saw Guan Yu chopping the Xianbei people into a panic, they rushed into the enemy camp and started chopping as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
The deputy general stabbed a Xianbei soldier to the ground with his sword and laughed heartily: "Look at our general, he's more ferocious than a tiger! You Xianbei dogs, why don't you kneel down and call me aunt?"
The 8,000 Xianbei cavalry were completely stunned - there was Guan Yu, a "tiger" blocking the road in front, and three hundred "leopards" biting their tails from behind. Their main general was also captured. They were already exhausted after running around for several days, and they were terrified by Guan Yu's killing. How could they still have the fighting spirit?
Someone shouted, "Run! If you don't run now, we'll all die here!"
"Makes sense!"
"It is better to die at home than to die at the hands of the Han people..."
The Xianbei troops instantly fell into chaos, and the cavalrymen scrambled to flee, with the sounds of trampling and screaming filling the air.
He Lian was tied to his horse, watching his own army collapse. He was so scared that tears came out of his eyes and he kept whimpering. He thought to himself, "Why am I so unlucky! I shouldn't have grabbed this piece of fat meat!"
His face was covered in mud and he looked in a miserable state. Where was the dignity of a prince?
Guan Yu stood at the mouth of the valley, his sword pressed to the ground, his white robe stained with blood. He glanced coldly at the fleeing Xianbei soldiers and whispered, "They are no match for him."
She waved her hand, and three hundred cavalrymen quickly gathered and escorted He Lian and a dozen tongues away from the battlefield.
The eight thousand Xianbei cavalrymen threw away their armor and weapons and ran away faster than rabbits. All that was left on the grassland were corpses and Helian's half-eaten sheep leg bone.
The deputy general rode closer, grinning, "General, your swordsmanship is simply amazing! That Helian thought he was so great, but you scared him like a fool!"
Guan Yu replied calmly: "He is just an idiot, nothing to be afraid of."
"Alright, let's return. I'm sure my brother will be very happy to hear this news."
She picked up her sword, mounted her horse, and in a flash of white, she led the team away.
