Chapter 543

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

"Moreover, His Majesty is waiting for our news of victory in Lin'an City!"

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

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

At this time, Ma Chao, who was on the side, also said jokingly to Guan Yu and Zhang Liao with a smile.

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

Zhang Liao, who was on the side, could not help but laugh and scold after hearing Ma Chao's words.

From the relaxed expressions of the four, one could not see the slightest bit of worry.

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

However, with their strength and that of their respective armies, they did indeed have such qualifications.

The next day, the Han army, under the leadership of Lü Bu and the others, took the initiative to attack.

Möngke, upon seeing the Han army move, immediately organized his army to resist.

Opposite the four hundred thousand Han troops, a million Mongol iron cavalrymen were arrayed.

On the Han side, they were led by Lü Bu, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, and Zhang Liao.

On the Mongol iron cavalry side, they were personally commanded by Möngke, with subordinates like Zhebei, Uriyangkhadai, Subutai, Shi Tianze, and a group of other Mongol generals.

At this moment, both sides were waiting in battle array, looking at each other with incomparably solemn expressions.

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

However, when truly facing them, they were still very serious.

Although their strength was sufficient to crush the opponent, they were also incomparably serious in terms of tactics.

They would treat every major battle seriously.

After all, on the battlefield, the situation could change in an instant, and they had to ensure the safety of every Great Han soldier.

"Woo, woo, woo!"

The long, mournful sound of the Mongol army's horns rang out across the vast grasslands.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

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

Before the armies of both sides 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..."

Instantly, the military momentum of the million Mongol iron cavalrymen was like a surging Yellow River, rushing toward the Han army.

"Bows and crossbows ready, triple volley!"

Seeing the Mongol iron cavalry charging, Lü Bu was unhurried and gave the order to the army.

Following Lü Bu's order, the forty thousand Han soldiers all simultaneously produced a repeating crossbow in their hands.

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

Its grade had even reached the Yellow Grade Supreme level.

Moreover, each repeating crossbow could fire ten arrows in a volley, and every Han soldier was equipped with ten arrow quivers.

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

A triple volley meant a full twelve million arrows.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Instantly, a dense sound of breaking through the air rang out, and the entire sky was covered by the densely packed arrows.

"Not good, defend quickly, everyone hurry and block the Han army's arrows!"

Möngke, seeing this scene, was instantly shocked and hurriedly shouted to the army.

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

"Ah! Ah! Ah..."

Instantly, the million Mongol iron cavalrymen who were charging were shot and killed in countless numbers 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 arrows breaking the air, accompanied by the screams of the Mongol iron cavalry.

The Mongol iron cavalry, under the baptism of the Han army's three waves of arrow rain, were killed until they were in total disarray, with countless dead and wounded.

The million-strong Mongol iron cavalry suffered about three to four hundred thousand casualties under this wave of arrow rain.

For the Mongol army, this was no small loss.

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

The numerical advantage they originally held was instantly wiped out.

After the triple volley of crossbows, Lü Bu raised his Fangtian Huaji toward the sky and shouted loudly:

"All soldiers, obey the order, follow me and kill!"

After speaking, 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 this general and kill!"

Guan Yu, who was on the side, seeing this, also led the one hundred thousand Azure Dragon soldiers to charge toward the Mongol iron cavalry.

"Qilin Legion, Xuanwu Legion, follow this general and kill!"

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

For a time, with the four Innate Realm experts taking the lead, the army composed of countless ordinary soldiers at the Postnatal 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 incomparably powerful Mongol iron cavalry was simply no match for the Han soldiers.

"Quick, block them for this Khan!"

Möngke, who was commanding from the center, was shocked beyond measure after seeing this scene.

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

He had not expected that this war would turn into a one-sided situation.

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

"Great Han's Heavenly Might, invincible in battle!"

Countless Han soldiers were slaughtering the Mongol iron cavalry before them.

"Block them! Block them!"

"All of you, kill for this general; our Mongol iron cavalry is invincible in the world!"

Uriyangkhadai, Zhebei, Subutai, and other Mongol generals were commanding the army with solemn expressions.

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

In the blink of an eye, Lü Bu and the others rushed in front of them; after just one move, they, whose cultivation had not even reached the Postnatal realm, were killed by Lü Bu and the others.

And with the deaths of these generals, the Mongol iron cavalry fell into the awkward state of having no leader.

"Ah! Ah! Ah..."

"Run quickly! The Han army is too powerful, they are devils, they are all devils!"

"Run quickly, 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; anyone who did not surrender was mercilessly 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 Mongolia!"

Möngke, in the rear, seeing the Mongol iron cavalry constantly falling under the hands of the Han army, cried out in pain.

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