Chapter 268

There were also a few thousand troops led by Wu Yi and Li Hui in the rear.

The total was less than 50, 00, half less than the other side!

However, Liu Bei's side was well-organized, with an imposing aura like a mountain, putting much more pressure on the other side than Meng Huo's chaotic lineup!

Meng Huo was still considered a famous general in Southern Zhong, and his heart sank; Liu Bei's side was not easy to deal with!

He looked at Liu Bei's side, where the beautiful Zhu Rong, wearing a feathered crown, was now riding a curly-haired Red Hare horse, standing beside Liu Bei—a pair of lovebirds, looking very well-matched!

The fire in his heart felt like it could burn the entire mountain!

Liu Bei led Zhu Rong out of the crowd and shouted loudly,

"Meng Huo, you have received imperial grace for generations, yet now you gather a crowd to rebel; what is your crime!"

The soldiers on Meng Huo's side pointed and gestured.

"This Lord Liu Xuande is truly heroic and extraordinary."

"Tall and straight, sword-like brows and star-like eyes, so well-matched with Cave Master Zhu Rong!"

"The Great King is..."

Meng Huo felt terrible and cursed loudly.

"Zhu Rong, is this what you did it for, for this pretty boy? Your tribe will pay the price for this!"

Zhu Rong frowned.

"Meng Huo, you toad wanting to eat swan meat, don't even take a bronze mirror to look at yourself; I want to vomit just looking at that large face!"

"Today my husband will beat you into a rout!"

Meng Huo was furious.

"Who will kill that pair of adulterous man and woman for me!"

Deputy General Mangyachang rode out.

"Liu Bei, die!"

His warhorse had just accelerated,

"Whoosh!"

Zhu Rong threw a flying knife, which hit Mangyachang's face directly!

Mangyachang's mission failed; he was killed in seconds before he even got close!

All the barbarian soldiers were shocked!

Zhu Rong was very proud; this was the true level of her flying knives!

Three more Cave Masters exchanged glances and rode out!

"Adulterous man and woman, die!"

Zhu Rong's flying knife shot over; all three were prepared and used their weapons to block the knife, looking very proud!

"Boom!"

The sound of a bowstring!

Three iron arrows, like black lightning, roared toward the three!

The speed was extremely fast, and the force was extremely great!

The three had just blocked the flying knife and were horrified to find the iron arrows were already close at hand, so they hurriedly blocked!

Unfortunately, it was too late!

The three iron arrows hit the necks of the three directly, the force carrying the three flying out and falling to the ground!

Blood flowed all over the ground; all three Cave Masters died!

Only three startled warhorses remained, running away with their four hooves flying!

Soldiers on both sides gasped.

One bow, three arrows, terrifying!

King King Mulu was stunned.

"Is this a four-stone bow? Liu Bei is so powerful?!"

Meng Huo's side's morale plummeted; Liu Bei was too ruthless. Just meeting, four of their own great generals had already died on the spot.

One bow, three arrows, one arrow per person, was even more shocking to the whole field!

Zhu Rong's eyes were full of stars, extremely worshipful; he was indeed the man who bullied her every day!

She shouted loudly,

"Meng Huo, see that? This is my husband, can you compare? Come out and practice!" Man.

Meng Huo certainly would not charge forward; Liu Bei's arrows and Miss Zhu Rong's flying knives could both cost him his life.

Lady Miss Zhu Rong's subordinates let out a wave of loud jeers.

"Still calling yourself the Barbarian King? 'Coward King' is more like it!"

"Meng Huo, have your legs turned to jelly?"

"You can't even compare to Lord Liu Xuande!"

"Good thing the Cave Master didn't marry him, or she'd regret it for a lifetime!"

Meng Huo was furious.

"Who is willing to go out and kill Liu Bei!"

Meng Huo's three marshals—

Jinhuan Jinhuan Sanjie, Dong Dong Tuna, and Ahuinan—exchanged glances, spread out wide, and charged toward Liu Bei's side!

Liu Bei did not make a move himself.

The sound of war drums erupted!

Three men spurred their horses out from behind him:

Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, and Zhang Fei!

Jinhuan Jinhuan Sanjie took the lead, "That oldest one is mine!"

The other two cursed inwardly; this guy was truly cunning!

Jinhuan Jinhuan Sanjie roared.

"Old thing, pay with your life!"

Huang Zhong was enraged; he hated nothing more than being called old!

He kicked his horse's belly, and his speed suddenly increased!

The two horses crossed paths!

"Clang!"

A thunderous sound rang out.

Jinhuan Jinhuan Sanjie let out a miserable scream, and was cleaved in two by Huang Zhong, horse and blade alike!

Huang Zhong stroked his long beard, his face full of disdain!

The barbarian soldiers were all shocked!

Zhang Fei let out a roar that nearly scared Dong Dong Tuna, who was facing him, into fainting.

His Serpent Spear thrust out suddenly, piercing Dong Dong Tuna straight through!

Zhang Fei gave a violent swing, tossing Dong Dong Tuna off his horse!

The barbarian soldiers were shocked again!

Ahuinan crossed paths with Gan Ning for one round before being cut down from his horse!

The barbarian soldiers were already numb!

Liu Bei shook his head; Meng Huo's three marshals were all mediocre in martial arts—too weak!

"Mighty!"

"Mighty!"

The morale on Liu Bei's side soared!

On Meng Huo's side, the army's morale plummeted, silent as the grave; how could they still fight!

Their own three marshals hadn't even withstood a single move from the enemy generals!

Meng Huo's expression was hideous.

He roared,

"We have three times their numbers, what are we afraid of! Charge all at once, and the enemy will surely be defeated!" **CHAPTER 483**

The soldiers heard this and thought it sounded quite reasonable.

Yong Kai quickly reminded him,

"Great King, beware of the enemy's heavy crossbows."

Meng Huo hadn't wanted to use King King Mulu, but now that the duel had ended in a miserable defeat, and he didn't dare charge forward to be an arrow target, he had no choice but to seek his help.

"Brother King Mulu, this time it all depends on you."

King King Mulu cursed inwardly; he had been suspicious of him just last night!

However, he also wanted to show off in this great battle; once he occupied Wei County later, wouldn't wealth and silk come pouring in?

"And that kid Dailai's beautiful concubine, I want her too. Miss Zhu Rong? Would Meng Huo give her to me?"

King King Mulu rode his white elephant back into the formation.

"Brothers, it is time for us to show what we can do!"

Eerie horn sounds rang out, mixed with strange incantations.

On King King Mulu's side, the soldiers gradually dispersed, and several thousand wild oxen came charging toward them in a massive wave!

Behind these wild oxen were hundreds of jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards.

King King Mulu's subordinates sat on the heads of war elephants, blowing shrill whistles to drive these beasts!

The wild oxen, frightened by the predators behind them, began to accelerate continuously, stampeding toward Liu Bei's side!

Miss Zhu Rong's expression changed.

"This is bad, Husband. It's King Mulu's wild ox formation. These oxen have thick hides that arrows can hardly pierce; instead, it will only incite their ferocity, making them charge even harder. They will soon scatter our formation."

(agfh)

Liu Bei smiled.

"My lady, do not panic. I have long since prepared a countermeasure."

The earth shook as thousands of wild oxen stampeded, their momentum like a rainbow, impossible for human strength to block!

Meng Huo and Yong Kai laughed heartily.

"Liu Bei is finished!"

"If he isn't trampled to death by the oxen, he'll be bitten to death by the beasts."

"And there are three hundred war elephants behind them!"

Meng Huo's subordinates were all in high spirits; no matter how strong Liu Bei was, he had to kneel!

Meng Huo ordered his men to take thirty thousand troops and charge from the right flank.

Yong Kai also led over twenty thousand men to kill Liu Bei's army from the left.

Dailai Cave Master panicked.

"Brother-in-law, what do we do?"

"The ox herd is about to charge over!"

Liu Bei waved his hand: Don't panic!

Guo Jia ordered his men to start blowing the horns!

"Woo! Roo~"

The cloth covering dozens of war chariots in front of Liu Bei's formation was pulled away, and dozens of painted wooden giant beasts, three meters high, over four meters wide, and five meters long, instantly appeared.

These giant beasts were pushed by over twenty soldiers each, their mouths filled with fireworks and incendiary materials.

Following an order, the soldiers lit the fires.

The giant beasts spat flames from their mouths, black smoke from their noses, and shook copper bells, baring fangs and claws as they headed toward the ox herd.

The ox herd, frightened by the flames and the fake giant beasts, dared not advance and instead turned back to run.

Liu Bei's soldiers threw out prepared burning bamboo, which crackled and popped.

The oxen were even more terrified and turned their heads to charge backward!

The jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards behind them had been under control, but—

Liu Bei's side sounded drums and horns in unison, disrupting King King Mulu's whistles.

The beasts lost control, and frightened by the stampeding ox herd and the giant beasts, they also ran backward, biting anyone they saw. King King Mulu's formation fell into chaos!

Liu Bei's side took the opportunity to fire ten thousand arrows at once, instantly covering the three hundred war elephants and shooting the handlers on their backs!

The elephant herd also fell into a mess!

Oxen, beasts, and war elephants all stampeded backward. How could King King Mulu maintain control? He was thrown off his white elephant and fled for his life in misery!

His twenty thousand men also ran wildly backward, crashing directly into Meng Huo's central formation!

Meng Huo cursed loudly.

"This King Mulu is truly a traitor!"

"Quick, shoot these retreating soldiers!"

King King Mulu's men could not let Meng Huo's men shoot them down, so they fought back, and their own side began killing each other!

The central army was in total chaos. Struck by the stampeding beasts, Liu Bei's soldiers seized the chance to attack, directly crushing the shell-shocked central army!

Meng Huo's soldiers on both sides were also terrified to the core; hit by Liu Bei's heavy crossbows, they instantly scattered!

The mountains and plains were filled with retreating troops.

The one hundred and ten thousand-strong army that had been showing off just moments ago—who would have thought they would collapse so quickly!

Miss Zhu Rong was dumbfounded.

"Husband, is Meng Huo too useless, or are you too strong?!"

Liu Bei smiled.

"My lady, let's not discuss such things on the battlefield."

Miss Zhu Rong...

Liu Bei's signal soldiers went out in all directions.

They reached the small cave masters and private clan armies who had come to assist.

"Lord Liu Xuande has ordered: attack with all your might and pursue the retreating army!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

"Right, right, pursue the retreating army!"

How could they miss the chance to beat a drowning dog? They all led their troops in pursuit of Meng Huo's retreating forces!

Wu Yi, Li Hui, and the rear guard also chased after the retreating troops!

Miss Zhu Rong was quite impressed.

"Husband, I never knew that fighting a war could be so easy!"

Liu Bei smiled at Miss Zhu Rong.

"In all warfare, use the orthodox to engage and the unorthodox to win. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles!"

Miss Zhu Rong said admiringly,

"You knew all along that King Mulu would use beast troops, so you built those giant beasts, just waiting for them to walk into the trap!"

"I want to have a smart son, as smart as you!"

Liu Bei nodded. She had high standards; no wonder she often stole genes!

"Alright, done and finished. Let's go back to the mountain stronghold and start another kind of war."

Phoenix and the others' eyes lit up; that was something they could get behind!

The pursuit lasted for two days!

Of Meng Huo's one hundred and ten thousand troops, only ten thousand were killed, over twenty thousand escaped, and all the rest were captured!

Facing eighty thousand captives,

Liu Bei selected six thousand elites from among them, distributed the rest to Dailai Cave Master, Li Hui, and others, and the other small cave masters and clans also got a share of the spoils.

King King Mulu was trampled to death by elephants, Yong Kai was captured by Wei Yan, and Meng Huo was seized by Zhang Fei.

Only Meng Huo's younger brother, Meng You, saw the situation was bad and ran away fast, already having fled back to Yongchang Commandery.

Meng Huo and Yong Kai were brought into the tent, bound hand and foot.

Liu Bei smiled.

"Meng Huo, are you convinced?"

Meng Huo glanced at Liu Bei and Miss Zhu Rong and let out a loud snort.

"You only won because of your schemes! If we had fought fairly, I would never have lost to you!" **CHAPTER 484**
