Chapter 19

Bai Yuekui glanced at Hua Mulan and found that she also had a speechless expression.

"Where is the morale usable? It's just that reckless Zhang Fei whose bragging is about to burst!"

The barrage in the broadcast room increased again.

"Is Liu Bei preparing for a suicide mission?"

"One thousand against fifty thousand? One fighting fifty? Does Liu Bei think he's leading a hundred-battle elite force?!"

"Free-loading is one thing, but the other side won't surrender just because you said a few words!"

"This Liu Bei is good at fooling people, but I think he's an amateur at fighting."

"More than an amateur, he actually thinks his two little brothers have the courage of ten thousand men? They're just a date seller and a pig killer!"

The netizens were all complaining.

"Don't drag down my Bai Yuekui and Sister Hua Mulan!"

"I still have ten thousand yuan; I'll spend it all tonight so I don't get screwed over when he kicks the bucket in a few days!"

Three days later, Mount Daxing,

on the only road to Youzhou City,

Liu Bei's army of one thousand stood in a line, waiting quietly.

In the distance, dust filled the air as a dense mass of Huang Jin rebels marched toward them.

Some of Liu Bei's soldiers were already trembling; after all, they had never been on a battlefield, and if the enemy swarmed them, they definitely wouldn't be able to hold them off!

Bai Yuekui looked at Liu Bei.

"Shouldn't we launch a surprise attack or set up an ambush?"

Hua Mulan also whispered,

"The enemy has over a thousand cavalrymen; one charge and we'll probably scatter!"

(Internal group chatter)

"Stay close to me later, I'll take you out of the encirclement!"

Liu Bei didn't care and looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, do you have confidence?"

Guan Yu's eyes were half-open, his arrogant aura perfectly maintained.

"They are just earthen dogs and clay chickens; I alone can break them!"

Bai Yuekui and Hua Mulan were numb; this Guan Yu is a die-hard arrogant, his bragging has reached the heavens!

Zhang Fei laughed heartily.

"Me too!"

The Xia Kingdom broadcast room was very lively today.

"I came specifically to watch the Xia Kingdom contestants be wiped out."

"Haha, these three brothers of the Peddler Alliance are better at bragging than the last!"

"I didn't expect the Xia Kingdom contestants to be the first to be eliminated. It's a pity for Bai Yuekui and Hua Mulan to be saddled with such an unreliable captain!"

"Everyone, do you think there will be a miracle?"

"A miracle? Do you think Liu Bei's ragtag army can hold off fifty?"

"It's a pity I won't be able to see Big-Eared Liu's free-loading and grand fooling anymore; I've instantly lost a lot of joy!"

The two armies drew closer and closer.

The disparity in numbers created immense pressure, making Liu Bei's soldiers' legs tremble secretly.

If it weren't for Liu Bei's strict military discipline and clear rewards and punishments,

where desertion was a capital offense, many would have probably run away!

On the Huang Jin side,

Cheng Yuanzhi, with his fleshy face and stubble, was furious.

"What? Only a thousand men on the other side? Led by the Han imperial clansman Liu Bei, and he wants me to kneel and surrender immediately?"

Cheng Yuanzhi was truly furious. He had brought forty thousand men, claiming fifty thousand, and although they were all farmers who had just dropped their hoes, the other side only had a thousand men!

Deputy General Deng Mao cupped his hands.

"Boss, that Liu Bei only recruited local volunteers less than a month ago!"

Cheng Yuanzhi laughed in anger.

"Let's go, come with me to meet this hero of the age!"

The two armies stood opposite each other.

Cheng Yuanzhi, accompanied by Deng Mao and a thousand cavalrymen, rode out from the ranks.

Liu Bei rode out, with Guan Yu on his left and Zhang Fei on his right, followed by two hundred cavalrymen.

Before Cheng Yuanzhi could speak,

Liu Bei said loudly, "Cheng Yuanzhi, you rebel against the nation, why don't you dismount and surrender now!"

Cheng Yuanzhi was enraged.

"Bastard, you must have lost your mind."

"Stop your wild talk!"

Deputy General Deng Mao, eager to claim merit, kicked his horse's belly and rode out from the ranks, heading straight for Liu Bei!

"Giddyap!"

"Today I'm going to kill a Han imperial clansman and have some fun!"

"Bold, you actually want to hurt my brother!"

Zhang Fei rode up to meet him and let out a loud shout, giving Deng Mao a fright!

While Deng Mao was still dizzy, Zhang Fei had already charged over, his serpent spear thrusting out fiercely, aiming straight for Deng Mao's heart.

"Bang!"

Deng Mao let out a miserable scream, fell off his horse, and died on the spot!

Both sides were shocked; this Deng Mao was too fragile!

He died too sloppily!
