Chapter 270

"Fengxian is absolutely right; with our strength, there is no need to keep dragging this out with the Mongols."

"Besides, His Majesty is waiting for our triumphant news in Lin'an City!"

As Lü Bu's voice fell, Guan Yu, Commander of the Azure Dragon Army, stroked his long beard and said with a smile.

"I agree. If I weren't worried that the million Mongol iron cavalry might cause casualties to my and Fengxian's legions, I wouldn't even have wanted to call you and Wenyuan here."

At this moment, Ma Chao, who was standing to the side, also teased Guan Yu and Zhang Liao with a laugh.

"Hahaha, you Ma Mengqi, you actually wanted to hog all the credit for yourself!"

Zhang Liao, standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh and scold after hearing Ma Chao's words.

From the relaxed expressions of the four, not a hint of worry could be seen.

It was as if this million-strong Mongol iron cavalry was merely their military merit.

However, given the strength of them and their respective armies, they did indeed have the qualifications to think so.

The next day, the Han army, led by Lü Bu and the others, took the initiative to attack.

Upon seeing the Han army move, Möngke immediately organized his army to defend against them.

Opposite the four hundred thousand Han troops stood the million-strong Mongol iron cavalry.

The Han side was led by the four: Lü Bu, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, and Zhang Liao.

As for the Mongol iron cavalry side, it was commanded personally by Möngke, with Mongol generals such as Jebe, Uriyangkhadai, Subutai, and Shi Tianze under his command.

At this moment, both sides stood in battle formation, looking at each other with extremely grave expressions.

Do not be fooled by the fact that Lü Bu and the others spoke of the Mongol army with such disdain.

When truly facing them, they were still very serious.

Although their strength was enough to crush the opponent, they were also incredibly serious about tactics.

They would treat every major battle with seriousness.

After all, on the battlefield, the situation can change in an instant, and they had to ensure the safety of every single Han warrior.

"Woo, woo, woo!"

The long, mournful sound of the Mongol army's horns echoed across the vast grassland.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

At the same time, the low, deep sound of war drums also rang out from the opposing Han army camp.

Before the two armies had even moved, they had already engaged in a contest of momentum.

"Mongol iron cavalry, charge!"

After three blasts of the horn, Möngke took the lead in commanding the Mongol iron cavalry to launch a charge toward Lü Bu and the others.

"Kill!"

"Giddyup..."

In an instant, the million-strong Mongol iron cavalry's charging momentum was like a surging Yellow River, rushing toward the Han army.

"Archers, prepare! Three volleys in unison!"

Seeing the Mongol iron cavalry charge, Lü Bu remained unhurried and issued the order to his army.

Following Lü Bu's command, a repeating crossbow appeared in the hands of every one of the four hundred thousand Han soldiers simultaneously.

This repeating crossbow was a design Liu Bian had exchanged from the System Mall and finally handed over to the Weapon Refining Hall to be manufactured.

Its grade had even reached the Yellow Grade Supreme level.

Moreover, each repeating crossbow could fire ten arrows at once, and every Han soldier was equipped with ten arrow quivers.

That was a full one hundred arrows, and they were already loaded; one only needed to change the quiver.

Three volleys meant a full twelve million arrows.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Instantly, the dense sound of air being pierced rang out, and the entire sky was covered by the thick swarm of arrows.

"Not good! Defend quickly! Everyone, block the Han army's arrows!"

Seeing this scene, Möngke was shocked and hurriedly shouted to his army.

However, the cavalry in the midst of their charge clearly could not cope with such dense arrows.

"Ah! Ah! Ah..."

In an instant, the million-strong Mongol iron cavalry charging forward was slaughtered in droves by the dense arrows.

Countless cavalrymen were shot off their horses, and even many warhorses were turned into hedgehogs.

For a time, the entire battlefield was filled with the dense sound of air being pierced, accompanied by the screams of the Mongol iron cavalry.

One could see the Mongol iron cavalry, under the baptism of the Han army's three waves of crossbow arrows, being slaughtered until they were in total disarray, with countless dead and wounded.

Of the million Mongol iron cavalry, about three to four hundred thousand were killed or wounded in this wave of arrows.

For the Mongol army, this was no small loss.

They hadn't even made contact with the enemy yet, and their own casualties had already reached nearly half.

The numerical advantage they originally held was instantly wiped out.

After the three volleys of crossbow fire, Lü Bu pointed his Painted Halberd of Heaven toward the sky and shouted loudly:

"All soldiers, obey my command! Follow me and kill!"

Having said this, he led his own one hundred thousand Shenwu Army soldiers and took the lead in charging toward the Mongol iron cavalry.

"Azure Dragon Legion soldiers, follow me and kill!"

Guan Yu, standing to the side, saw this and also led his one hundred thousand Azure Dragon soldiers to charge toward the Mongol iron cavalry.

"Qilin Legion, Xuanwu Legion, follow me and kill!"

Ma Chao and Zhang Liao, standing nearby, were not to be outdone and led their own armies to charge toward the Mongol iron cavalry.

In an instant, with the four Xiantian Realm experts taking the lead, the army composed of countless ordinary soldiers at the Houtian Third Heaven realm charged into the Mongol iron cavalry formation like wolves into a flock of sheep.

The Mongol iron cavalry, which had always been invincible, felt for the first time what it meant to be slaughtered.

Countless Han soldiers were slaughtering the Mongol iron cavalry as if they were chopping melons and vegetables.

The incredibly powerful Mongol iron cavalry was simply no match for the Han soldiers.

"Quick! Block them for me!"

Möngke, commanding from the central army, was shocked beyond measure after seeing this scene.

This result was far too different from what he had imagined.

He never expected that this war would turn into such a one-sided situation.

And it was a one-sided slaughter of them by the Han army.

"The Great Han's Heavenly Might is invincible!"

Countless Han soldiers slaughtered the Mongol iron cavalry before them.

"Block them! Block them!"

"Kill them all for me! My Mongol iron cavalry is invincible under Heaven!"

Uriyangkhadai, Jebe, Subutai, and other Mongol generals were commanding the army with grave expressions.

Although they were trying hard to pacify the army, they still could not stop the Han army's charge.

In the blink of an eye, Lü Bu and the others reached them; after just one move, they, whose cultivation had not even reached the Houtian Realm, were beheaded by Lü Bu and the others.

And with the death of these generals, the Mongol iron cavalry fell into a state of being leaderless.

"Ah! Ah! Ah..."

"Run! The Han army is too strong! They are devils! They are all devils!"

"Run! The generals have all been killed by them!"

"Help! I don't want to die! Someone save me!"

However, the Han soldiers ignored the screaming Mongol iron cavalry; as long as they did not surrender, they were all ruthlessly slaughtered.

For a time, the entire battlefield was like a living hell.

"It's over, it's over, it's all over!"

"The million-strong Mongol iron cavalry is gone! I am a sinner of the Mongols!"

Möngke, in the rear, watched as the Mongol iron cavalry fell one after another at the hands of the Han army, and he cried out in agony.

At this moment, he already knew that he had lost, and lost completely.
