Chapter 436: Breaking Out of the Siege, No Chance of Survival
As more Wuhuan cavalry joined the battlefield, the battle situation that had just improved suddenly turned into a stagnant water. This time, there were more than 60,000 Wuhuan cavalry who joined the battlefield. Although their combat effectiveness was weak, the ants Too much can kill an elephant.
As for the legendary military generals, they are not elephants, they are gods. But the problem is that Huang Zhong and Ma Chao are just famous generals. Under the impact of such an army, the two of them can guarantee their lives and break through, but there is nothing they can do. Break out with the remaining cavalry under his command.
"Old General, what should we do? There are too many, we can't kill them all!"
After Ma Chao fired a shot and killed a dozen people, he shouted at Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong was also submerged in the crowd. He could only vaguely see blood-red lights flashing in the crowd, and then someone flew high and fell heavily to the ground.
"Meng Qi, gather as many people as you can, and ride out even if you risk your life!"
Huang Zhong's roar came from the depths of the crowd. In the face of this kind of encirclement, weapons such as euphorbias and spears would have more advantages. Just like Ma Chao, even if Huang Zhong was promoted to a famous general, he would still use Even after getting on the Scarlet Blood Knife, he was still unable to move in the opponent's encirclement.
Before being promoted to a legendary military general, no one can get rid of the shackles and can ignore the number, including Guan Yu before being promoted to a legendary military general. The same is true. On the battlefield in Jingzhou, he was almost made dumplings by the army led by Dian Wei, but still At the critical moment, legendary generals were promoted to successfully resolve the danger.
Huang Zhong used the skill Meteor Arrow many times to kill enemy generals. After being promoted to a famous general, the skill of Meteor Arrow was also upgraded, the attack power became stronger, and the cooldown was reduced to only ten minutes, but it takes ten minutes to shoot an arrow. , for so many enemy troops, it is only a drop in the bucket, and if he wants to use it forcefully now, it will consume legendary general points. Only in the end, there is no other way, he can consume legendary general points and use the skill forcefully.
And more importantly, Huang Zhong now only has two legendary general points, and he can only release his skills twice in total. It is really useless and cannot play a decisive role in the battle situation. Moreover, the difficulty of obtaining legendary general points is different from that of famous generals. The difference is huge. It was still usable to use famous general points to force release skills, but using legendary general points is not worth it.
Ma Chao's thirty-sixth-line fatal spear was originally designed to deal with sieges. It can be said to be used to its fullest at this moment, but it has no effect because there are too many enemies, too many, too many to kill at all. So much so that Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, two first-class generals, felt a little desperate.
Surrounded by the enemy, the two men continued to fight and gathered their soldiers. However, the soldiers were trapped in various places on the battlefield and it was difficult to gather them together. Ma Chao and Huang Zhong often adjusted their directions and fought to the target place. Afterwards, the soldiers were all killed.
After an hour of gathering, they successfully gathered several hundred horses. Ma Chao gathered 500, Huang Zhong gathered 700, and there were only 1,200 horses left in total. These were the only soldiers left. Huang Zhong and Ma Chao gathered together, and the two successfully gathered together.
"Old General, what are you going to do now?"
Ma Chao stood on the outermost perimeter, constantly killing the soldiers who rushed forward. After carefully observing the surrounding situation, Huang Zhong made up his mind and chose a place where the siege was weakest.
"I'll open the way, Meng Qi, follow me closely."
"good!"
Although he didn't know how Huang Zhong could break out of the encirclement, Ma Chao had unconditional trust in Huang Zhong and immediately led all the soldiers gathered to follow Huang Zhong.
"kill!"
Huang Zhong shouted low and cut his palm open with the red blood knife. The bright red blood soaked the red blood knife. The temporary effect of the red blood knife was triggered. Because it absorbed Huang Zhong's own blood, Huang Zhong could choose the specific temporary effect. Huang Zhong chose the +300 bow attack power bonus without hesitation.
At this moment, the skill of Meteor Arrow has been cooled down. Huang Zhong took out three arrows in succession, but they were not placed on the string together, but only one. As a meteor arrow was shot, Huang Zhong was placed on the string again. The arrow shot out again, and the last arrow was shot out instantly.
The three arrows were all meteor arrows. Huang Zhong used his remaining two legendary general points to reset the cooldown of the two skills. Three meteor arrows shot out at the same time. The siege here was originally the weakest, and with the addition of three A meteor arrow cleared the way, and in an instant only a thin layer was left in the thick encirclement.
"Kill out!"
Ma Chao looked at the scene in front of him in horror, and then said angrily that he had never seen Huang Zhong use meteor arrows before, but he was not as shocked as this time. Three arrows shot out together, opening up a path for them with more than 700 people. After a long bloody road, Ma Chao knew that Huang Zhong must have paid a price to achieve this.
Therefore, he did not waste any time and immediately took over Huang Zhong's position and continued to lead his soldiers to charge outward. With 1,200 cavalry, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao fought regardless of the cost and finally broke through the encirclement of the Wuhuan cavalry. , galloping towards the south.
Because all the Wuhuan cavalry came from the north, and the Wuhuan cavalry in the south were surrounded from other directions, with relatively few soldiers, they were able to break through smoothly. Otherwise, even if Huang Zhong and Ma Chao did not care about the cost, they would It was impossible to break through the siege in such a short period of time.
"Hahaha, it's out!"
Ma Chao laughed excitedly. All the soldiers under their command were top-grade war horses from the Beiliang Ranch in Liangzhou. These war horses were very fast and soon left the Wuhuan cavalry behind them far behind. They kept going towards the border of Bingzhou.
The Wuhuan cavalry behind them were still chasing them, but as long as they reached the border of Bingzhou, everything would be solved. A large number of soldiers were stationed at the border to welcome the return of Huang Zhong and Ma Chao and cover their retreat.
While Huang Zhong and Ma Chao were fighting to the death, the four famous generals who led the troops to attack Xianbei seemed much easier, because the territory of Xianbei was large enough, but the population was sparse. Most of the military towns and cities, including the Xianbei King City, were in the north of the Wuhuan territory. Before they arrived there, they should not encounter too many hostile forces, nor too many wars. In addition, the four famous generals went out together. As long as the opponent was not a legendary general, everything was not worth mentioning in front of them.
Since there is only one legendary general, Guan Yu, it means that if the enemy wants to stop them, they must send four famous generals with enough troops to stop them. However, according to their intelligence, although the Xianbei is the most powerful nomadic people, they can't get four famous generals.
If they had four famous generals, they would have unified the Xiongnu and Wuhuan long ago. How could they let the Xiongnu and Wuhuan exist?
In the Han Dynasty, Qingzhou, Gu Rubing was playing chess with Zhuge Liang, and Guan Yu was watching the battle. Because Cao Cao and Sun Jian had invested their experience in improving the strength of the generals, the thirteen states were surprisingly quiet during this period, even calmer than the last half-year truce.
Moreover, fine salt was also produced continuously and then flowed to the whole country. In addition, the salt road had been opened. For them, they only needed to strictly guard the roads along the way.
Therefore, during this period of time, Gu Rubing not only looked at the intelligence sent from various places every day, but also went to check on the injuries of Wang Zhao and Chen Chao, or went to the newly opened training ground outside the city to check on the progress of Wei Yan's training. Finally, he drank tea with Zhuge Liang, played chess, and listened to Zhuge Liang's suggestions. Naturally, he was not idle at night. Every night was a warm spring night, which was very happy.
Gu Rubing's chess skills have also grown by leaps and bounds during this period of time. Now he can hold on for several rounds under Zhuge Liang. The competition on the chessboard in the past few days even made Gu Rubing feel powerless. He felt as if he was facing a supercomputer and he could not see any chance of winning at all.
Seeing that the pattern of slaying the dragon on the chessboard had been formed, Gu Rubing smiled slightly and surrendered on the chessboard.
"The Prime Minister is really amazing. I have been learning for so long, and it is only because of your humility that I have been able to persist until now."
"My Lord, that is not the case. You are the genius that I have seen. Since learning chess a few months ago, you have only studied in your rare free time. From knowing the rules to being able to strategize on the chessboard now, you are the one who has made the fastest progress, even better than I did in the past."
Zhuge Liang's face was full of sincerity, which made Gu Rubing stunned and asked in disbelief.
"Is the Prime Minister trying to make me happy?"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan with a smile on his face.
"Your Lord's talent in chess is like the brilliance of the bright moon, and I am just a little starlight. I thought I was unmatched in chess before, but now I see your rapid progress, just like a mayfly seeing the blue sky."
Hearing this, Gu Rubing was very excited. He never thought that he had talent in this area? Could it be that he is a good strategist? Before this, he always thought that Zhuge Liang was giving him a break, which was why he always fought with him and finally won with a slight advantage, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Zhuge Liang is definitely a flatterer who talks nonsense. It is impossible for him to say such words to make Gu Rubing happy. There is only one possibility. Gu Rubing does have a talent in this area, and it is very high. Chess skills often represent intelligence. This is the first time that Gu Rubing has been praised for his superior IQ in his three lives.
However, Gu Rubing soon figured out the reason. It should be that he inherited Liu Bei's intelligence attribute, and he also had his own intelligence blessing, which had this effect. Moreover, chess skills are just a manifestation of intelligence, and there is no other great effect, especially in today's chaotic world, it is not even a means of making a living.
"Hahaha, then I have to study hard and strive to beat the prime minister as soon as possible."
Gu Rubing joked with a smile, and Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu also laughed when they heard it.
After the new chessboard was set up, the two started a new game. Before Gu Rubing made a move, the originally sunny weather suddenly became cloudy, as if a rainstorm that had been brewing for a long time was about to come.
After Gu Rubing made a move, a thunderbolt suddenly flashed outside the house, accompanied by purple lightning, and a downpour suddenly came. There was no sign before this. Gu Rubing only felt his left eyelid twitching, accompanied by some palpitations, and couldn't help but cover his chest.
Guan Yu, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly sat next to Gu Rubing and let Gu Rubing lean on him. Zhuge Liang also got up and sat near Gu Rubing at the first time.
"Divine doctor! Let the divine doctor come!"
Guan Yu roared, while Zhuge Liang simply took Gu Rubing's pulse. Although Zhuge Liang didn't know much about medicine, he still knew the most basic pulse taking. However, Gu Rubing's pulse was stable, uniform and strong.
"My Lord, what's wrong with you?"
"Prime Minister, I suddenly have palpitations, as if something bad is happening."
Gu Rubing told him his feelings in detail. Just a moment ago, he almost lost his strength. If Guan Yu hadn't supported him, he would have fallen down.
After Gu Rubing finished speaking, he suddenly had an idea and looked at Zhuge Liang. Both of them roughly guessed each other's thoughts, and then immediately picked up a few chess pieces from the chessboard, set up a simple Bagua formation, and picked up three black and three white pieces, a total of six chess pieces, and then pinched the formula and threw them out. In the Bagua formation, only three chess pieces remained in the formation, and the other three chess pieces had already flown out of the range of the Bagua formation.
Three chess pieces, all three of them were black. Zhuge Liang's face changed. He pinched the heaven and earth with his left hand and soon got some clues.
"Wuhuan, Xianbei, Goguryeo, one of these three places, I am afraid that something uncontrollable will happen. The chess pieces are too simple, and I can only get a general idea. My lord, wait a moment, I will come soon."
After all, the chess pieces are too simple to accurately know the more detailed situation. It is necessary to use tortoise shell copper coins and the real Bagua formation. Others have more or less influence.
Watching Zhuge Liang leave in a hurry, Gu Rubing's originally cheerful mood was suddenly shrouded in gloom. At this time, he suddenly had such a reaction, which was really unusual.
Hua Tuo came over after Zhuge Liang left, but after carefully examining his pulse, Hua Tuo could not find anything abnormal. Even Gu Rubing himself has now returned to normal and no longer has the palpitations just now.
About half an hour later, Zhuge Liang walked into the room with a serious face and sat opposite Gu Rubing. Gu Rubing had a bad feeling.
"Prime Minister, what's wrong?"
"My Lord, I just made a divination for the generals who went to the expedition. The Wuhuan in Bingzhou is in a very bad situation."
"Very bad?!"
"There is no chance of survival."
Zhuge Liang's voice was heavy, and he almost squeezed out these four words from his teeth.
Gu Rubing frowned when he heard it.
At this moment, a hundred miles outside the border of Bingzhou, a cavalry of 20,000 people, led by the three famous generals Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, and Cao Ren, launched a thousand-mile siege and interception against Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and their remaining thousand cavalry!
