Guo Kai is from Nanyang.

In 197, he joined the army with Wei Yan and served as a soldier under Zhang Xiu's tent.

During the Battle of Duyang City, he was promoted to Dubo due to his outstanding performance. In subsequent battles, he repeatedly made military exploits. Today, he is promoted to General Yamen and is the chief general of Tanma Camp.

At this moment, Guo Kai led dozens of personal followers and galloped up the hillside on the left, preparing to spy on the military situation of the Bei army.

Unexpectedly, he just jumped up the hillside and met hundreds of enemy scouts.

Seeing that the number of enemies was small, the Huns cavalry immediately rushed towards them, shouting and waving their crescent swords in their hands.

"kill!"

Seeing the Xiongnu soldiers rushing over, Guo Kai narrowed his eyes slightly and clutched the long knife tightly in his hand. This place was very close to Zhang Xiu's army at the rear. If they rushed over, they would definitely detect the military situation, so he had to fight desperately.

The soldiers of Tanma Camp also knew this and rushed after Guo Kai without flinching.

When the Huns cavalry saw that the other party did not run away but instead charged towards them, they were all stunned for a moment. They immediately reacted, took off the bows and arrows from their saddles, and started shooting at Guo Kai and the others.

have to say.

The Huns cavalry had a natural advantage in running and shooting.

When Guo Kai saw the enemy rushing to fire, he immediately ordered to fire back. After a wave of fire, the enemy lost seven or eight people, but he lost more than ten people, almost half of his number.

A round of shooting, the two sides intersected.

Guo Kai swung his sword, roared ferociously, and killed the enemy's general who was probing the horse.

The enemy general was holding a scimitar sword, and his wrist was extremely strong. The scimitar came at him quickly and urgently. A flash of sword light flashed past and appeared in Guo Kai's abdomen.

But Guo Kai is not a vegetarian either.

He immediately blocked the edge of the opponent's crescent knife with his sword, and the two sides crossed their horses. At this moment, Guo Kai suddenly waved his long knife, twisted his waist ninety degrees, grabbed the tail of the long knife's shaft with both hands, and increased his attack. range, the tip of the knife slashed towards the back of the enemy general's head.

After the two horses crossed each other, the man was preparing to meet the enemy behind him. Suddenly he felt a sharp gust of wind coming from the back of his head. When he turned his head to look, he was instantly frightened.

Before the frightened soul could return to its original position, its head was already spinning in mid-air.

A column of blood spurted out from his neck.

Guo Kai saw a happy smile on his face when he saw that the sword was successful.

Suddenly, the smile on his face condensed.

A tearing pain suddenly shot through my abdomen, and at the same time I felt a chill in my heart, and cold wind poured into my abdominal cavity.

The Huns behind him were holding a crescent knife and quickly slashed across his left abdomen.

"puff!"

Before he had time to react, a sword flashed across his right side, and he felt the sawing sensation in his chest as the cold knife passed through his body.

Subsequently.

Seven or eight Hun soldiers galloped past him.

Guo Kai's body was like a pendulum, swinging from side to side as he was attacked. Seven or eight shocking wounds were left on his body, and blood spurted out.

The blood in his mouth covered his chin.

Guo Kai felt strongly that he might not survive.

At this moment, he was not thinking of his parents, relatives or friends, but of his lord Zhang Xiu.

From an unknown soldier to the current leader of the first battalion, Zhang Xiu was the one who promoted him step by step. He still remembered that when Zhang Xiu met him for the first time, he praised him and appointed him with a smile on his face. He is the commander of Tanma Camp.

Maybe there were too many wounds on his body and he couldn't feel the pain anymore.

The war horse under his crotch rushed out with his dying body.

Guo Kai looked in the direction of Zhang Xiu and said silently: "Lord! The last general...is loyal!"

After saying that, his head drooped softly.

"General! General!!"

After a wave of impact, more than 40 people were left, and only 20 people were left. When these 20 people saw that Guo Kai was covered in injuries and had lost his life, everyone was instantly shocked.

In order to be kind, Guo Kai cared deeply for the soldiers in the camp and was deeply loved by them.

Now that he was killed by the Xiongnu, everyone was filled with anger.

"Kill these beasts and avenge General Guo——!"

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

The crowd was so angry that they slapped their horses with swords and killed him.

The leader of the Xiongnu Tanma beheaded Guo Kai. He no longer had the courage to fight anymore. He turned around and saw the opponent charging towards him in a desperate posture. He immediately fled down the hillside towards his own camp.

In front of Zhang Xiujun.

Tan Ma, covered in blood, galloped over. He dismounted and knelt in front of Zhang Xiu: "Lord! The enemy has about 30,000 cavalry in Qubei. They are more than 20 miles away from our army."

"Explore again!"

Seeing that the horse explorer was covered in blood, Zhang Xiu told him: "The Huns are good at shooting, so be careful."

This person also thought that Zhang Xiu would suddenly care about them, his eyes heated up, and he shouted: "Here!"

He immediately got on his horse and left.

At this moment, Zhang Xiu didn't know that Guo Kai had paid for this news with his life.

After getting the information, Zhang Xiu nodded and ordered: "The whole army speeds up. Ma Qiying, I order you to lead 3,000 troops to outflank the left wing. Wei Qiying, I order you to lead 3,000 troops to outflank the right wing. Zhang Qiying, you lead the army. Five thousand, go ahead with my big banner (dao), thinking that it will lure the troops, I will lead the army in the center to suppress the formation, and we must annihilate them!"

Ma Chao, Wei Yan, and Zhang Xian shouted in unison:

"Here!"

Next to him, Xu Shu saw Zhang Xiu commanding the battle. He twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Use the strange as the right, and the right as the strange. The Lord's method of marching and using troops is truly the hero of the world."

Yan Xiang said: "Sun Wu said: Soldiers use deceitful tactics; they catch the enemy by surprise, attack when they are unprepared, and have stirrups and sharp weapons to help them. If they are humble, they will be defeated."

Xu Shu nodded.

After receiving the order, the three generals immediately led their troops away from the main force. The banner behind Zhang Xiu also rushed forward with Zhang Xian's horses. Because of the fighting of the Tanma camp, Zhang Xiu's military situation was unknown. .

Go to humble this side.

Tan Ma has been sent out several times, but no one has come back yet.

Qubei was so angry that he cursed angrily: "What do these gangsters do? They went out for a long time and couldn't even bring back any news. So far, I don't know who the enemy is? How many soldiers and horses are there?"

The generals under his command advised: "Wise King, don't be anxious. It will be soon."

At this moment, several wolves and pigs suddenly came running towards them. Qubei shouted and asked: "What is the enemy's military situation? Which princes are they from? How many troops and horses are there?"

"This...uh..."

How could they know this when they were fleeing for their lives?

But if you can't answer, you will inevitably be killed, so a smart man immediately said: "Report to the King of Xian, the enemy is more than 20 miles away from our army, and there are Yuan Shao's troops, about 50,000 troops. .”

"fifty thousand?!"

Qubei laughed.

As we all know, the Xiongnu lived on horseback. In terms of cavalry, few people were their opponents. The 30,000 wolf cavalry in his hands could definitely defeat Yuan Shao's 50,000 cavalry.

"Yuan Shao dares to attack my land in the Hetao with only fifty thousand cavalry. He is looking for death. The whole army obeys the order and speeds up. Yuan Shao must be killed in one fell swoop!"

So Qubei led an army of 30,000 men and rushed forward in a mighty manner.

A dozen scout horses stood nearby, watching the army fly away in a cloud of dust, with expressions of fear on their faces.

"If you don't run away, are you going to die?"

said the clever man just now.

The others suddenly realized and fled towards the hillside on the left.
