Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 740 The Death of Qubei, the Right Wise King of the Xiongnu

The Right Wise King of the Xiongnu, Qu Bei, looked at the enemy troops surging in from all directions with a look of despair.

How could this be?
How could it be an enemy trap?

Watching the Xiongnu cavalrymen around him being stabbed off their horses, Qu Bei closed his eyes, his body trembling slightly.

The population of this Xiongnu tribe was already declining.

Several years ago, Liu Bao, the Left Wise King, and his 10,000 cavalrymen were wiped out.

Now, even my cavalry is destined to meet the same fate!

How could I possibly face the Chanyu again?
How could he face the Xiongnu people who had followed him to Hedong County?
Qu Bei gripped his scimitar tightly, opened his eyes, and roared as he charged towards the onrushing enemy troops.

This is absolutely not allowed.

The Xiongnu cannot be destroyed by our own hands.

Even if it means death, they will fight their way through the enemy lines for the cavalry.

Standing on the city wall, Zhang He immediately noticed the Right Wise King Qu Bei, who was constantly fighting on horseback.

Watching Qu Bei's valiant fighting and his constant killing of soldiers, Zhang He sneered and pointed at Qu Bei to the general beside him, saying, "Get the ballistae! See that man? Have the soldiers aim the ballistae at him and kill him before he gets out of range!"

"Tell the soldiers that whoever can kill this man will receive five beautiful women, a hundred bolts of silk, and be promoted to captain by the lord himself!"

As soon as Zhang He finished speaking, the entire city wall became lively.

Before long, dozens of people jumped onto the ballistae on the city wall.

After loading the crossbow bolts, continuously adjust the direction.

As Qu Bei led his Xiongnu cavalry to break through a gap on the left, several ballistae were all aimed at him.

At this moment, the Right Wise King of the Xiongnu, Qubei, was paying close attention to the nearby Xiongnu cavalry.

After personally leading the charge and opening a breach, Qu Bei roared and urged the Xiongnu cavalry to rush out through the breach.

Countless Xiongnu cavalrymen are being surrounded.

The narrow encirclement prevented these cavalrymen from exerting their full strength, and they were constantly slaughtered.

Just when it seemed he was about to die, a breach appeared.

The Xiongnu cavalry immediately charged out under the command of Right Wise King Qubei.

The Right Wise King Qu Bei's heart was in his throat.

Have the opportunity!
still have a chance!

The next moment, a scream suddenly rang out behind him: "Your Majesty, be careful!"

"Behind the King!"

"Your Majesty, watch your back!"

The Right Wise King hurriedly changed direction.

A tremendous force came from behind him, throwing him off his warhorse!

The Right Wise King fell heavily from his horse and lay sprawled on the ground.

A thick, spear-like arrow pinned him to the ground from behind.

The Xiongnu cavalrymen who were about to rush through the gap next to him stopped in their tracks when they saw this scene.

Some people were stunned into silence.

Someone covered their face with their hands and let out a piercing scream: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is dead!"

Seeing this scene outside the city, Zhang He was so excited that he slammed his palm on the city wall.

As he sprinted down the city wall, Zhang He shouted sternly, "Disarm and you won't be killed! We need to spare some Xiongnu to act as bait!"

The city gate opens.

Zhang He led thousands of garrison troops out of the city.

The Right Wise King Qubi was killed.

In addition, they were already surrounded.

This force of 10,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen surrendered without resistance.

Only a few brave individuals continued to resist, but they were surrounded and killed by the army.

Inside Xingyang City, during the "sneak attack" on Zhang Sui's camp at Guandu and Wuchao.

In a luxurious hall.

Cao Cao was wearing undergarments and staring blankly at the sand table in front of him.

His brows furrowed.

Ever since his defeat against Zhang Sui, he had been searching for a way to break the deadlock. However, he had no clue what to do.

The Hebei troops were stronger and had more abundant supplies.

Moreover, they proceeded cautiously, setting up camps in various locations and avoiding rash advances.

A deathly atmosphere permeated the entire Cao Cao army.

Cao Cao stared at the sand table for a long while, then placed his hands on the wooden table holding the sand table and let out a long sigh.

How did things come to this?
Having fought on the battlefield for over a decade, how could I be so passively defeated by a young brat?

Just then, a clanging sound rang out.

Cao Cao raised his head.

Xu Chu strode in.

Seeing Cao Cao looking over, Xu Chu continued to enter, saying, "My lord, when Military Advisor Xun was patrolling the city walls, he discovered that fires were raging in the directions of Guandu and Wuchao!"

"Moreover, there seems to be a fire dragon in the direction of the Yellow River."

Cao Cao hummed in response.

Fires broke out in the Guandu and Wuchao directions.
Is there another fire dragon in the direction of the Yellow River?

Cao Cao didn't have time to put on more clothes; he rushed out while asking, "When did this happen?"

Xu Chu said, "I don't know. My lord, you can ask Military Advisor Xun on the city wall. Military Advisor Xun is still on patrol. He just sent someone to inform me and asked me to notify you to come over!"

Cao Cao ignored Xu Chu.

Surrounded by Xu Chu, Cao Cao galloped out of his residence, mounted his warhorse, and headed straight for the north gate of the city.

Upon reaching the city wall of Xingyang, Xun You was already there to greet them.

Pointing towards Guandu, Xun You said urgently, "My lord, look there, in the direction of Guandu, the fire has already turned half the sky red."

Pointing again towards Wuchao, Xun You said, "And there, in the direction of Wuchao."

Finally, pointing towards the Yellow River and then towards Guandu, he said, "Look here, there's a long, fiery dragon."

"Although it's too far away, I can't see clearly what happened."

"However, the massive fires at Guandu and Wuchao could only mean one thing."

"That means a major battle took place, and the place was set on fire."

"Could someone have crossed the river from behind and attacked the general's camp?"

"Only in this way can it be explained."

"However, the general's army is stationed at Guandu."

"What's the situation here at Wuchao?"

"Is it possible that Wuchao was the grain storage place for the General's army?"

Xun You's words sent a chill down Cao Cao's spine.

The scene before them seemed to confirm Xun You's words.

However, Cao Cao still found it hard to believe.

Who has the ability to cross the river from the rear and launch a sneak attack on that kid's army camp?

Who else has the ability to find out where that kid's army stores its grain?
I've been fighting that kid for so long, but I still haven't found the grain storage location!
I've fought that kid before, and neither of us was a match for him.

Who would dare to launch a sneak attack?

However, the facts are right before our eyes.

As Cao Cao arrived at the city wall, more people gradually arrived.

These were none other than civil and military officials such as Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Du Ji, Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, Yu Jin, and Zhu Ling.

They crowded around Cao Cao, whispering amongst themselves.

After a long while, Cao Cao finally made up his mind and said sternly, "Zhongde, immediately contact the spies in the army."

"Even if all the spies are killed in battle, we must find out what happened as quickly as possible."

Cheng Yu was whispering with Du Ji.

Upon hearing Cao Cao's words, Cheng Yu immediately replied, "Yes!"

After saying that, he quickly descended the city wall.

Cao Cao kept glancing at Guandu for a while, and then at Wuchao.

After a long while, Cao Cao finally let out a long sigh and said, "I hope Heaven will help me, Cao Cao!"
