Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

In a blink of an eye, the enemy had closed halfway.

Zhang Liao calmed down from his shock. He knew that he had to stabilize the morale of the army at this time, so he shouted loudly:
"Shoot the thief for me, release the arrow!"

At the order, arrows whizzed away like meteors and fell towards the rattan armor army again.

The results are still disappointing.

The arrows fell again, but none of them penetrated.

No one in the Rattan Armor Army was injured. They continued to advance like a group of steel warriors.

Zhang Liao was completely confused.

What is going on? Invulnerable to swords and guns?
Is there really such a powerful armor that even powerful bows and crossbows cannot penetrate it?

The morale of the Han army was also greatly shaken.

It was not just panic, it was even astonishment.

The soldiers looked at each other, fear and despair in their eyes.

Zhang Liao suddenly realized.

He finally understood why the barbarian army, despite its short manpower, dared to take the initiative to fight.

Because they are fearless.

Not to mention the tens of thousands of people in front of them, even if it were an army of a million, it would probably be difficult to resist this rattan armor army.

Once the battle begins, they will surely be defeated.

Zhang Liao had no choice but to act decisively. He shouted loudly:

"Sound the horn, retreat——"

Following his command, a golden sound rang out.

When the Han soldiers heard the sound of the bugle, they immediately changed direction and retreated northward in an orderly and rapid manner.

The horses' hooves raised clouds of dust, and the shouts and cries of killing were gradually left behind them.

"The Han dog has escaped!"

This shout echoed among the rattan armor army.

An expression of disbelief first appeared on the faces of the rattan armor soldiers, which was then replaced by intense ridicule and pride, and then they burst into laughter.

That laughter was full of contempt and disdain for the Central Plains troops in front of them.

Wutugu rode on a tall horse, looking down at the direction of the Han army's retreat, with a sneer of contempt on his face, and shouted:
"The Han dogs are so vulnerable! All the troops, listen to my order! Chase them and kill all the Han soldiers!"

The voice was rough and loud, echoing between heaven and earth.

At the command, the rattan armor soldiers rushed forward recklessly like a group of hungry wolves.

They shouted, waved their weapons, and chased the Han army in a mighty force, raising clouds of dust that covered the sky.

at this time.

The distance between the two armies is gradually shortening.

Although Zhang Liao wanted to withdraw his troops, he knew that it would be difficult to quickly escape from the enemy in this chaotic situation.

The rattan armor soldiers followed the Han army like shadows, holding on tightly.

In the end, the Rattan Armor Army caught up with the Han Army.

A bloody massacre began.

The soldiers in rattan armor waved the sharp blades in their hands and hacked at the Han army like cutting melons and vegetables.

Although the Han soldiers fought hard, they gradually fell into trouble under the fierce attack of the Rattan Armor Army.

For a moment, the battlefield was splattered with blood and screams were heard.

The Han army suffered heavy losses in this sudden defeat, with thousands of soldiers falling in a pool of blood.

After leaving behind numerous corpses, Zhang Liao finally escaped the pursuit of the Rattan Armor Army and retreated from the battlefield in a panic.

After all, the Han army has a large family and a great business.

The deaths and injuries of these thousands of people are like a drop of water in the ocean, which cannot cause much waves.

For these barbarians, this was a great victory.

They cheered as if they had achieved a great victory.

Wutugu became even more complacent. He thought he had killed more than a thousand Han soldiers and had made great military achievements. From then on he could show off his power among the southern barbarians.

At this time, he was too lazy to chase anymore, so he waved his hand and ordered his troops to withdraw.

The battlefield was immediately filled with deafening cheers from the rattan armor soldiers. Wutugu laughed loudly, his eyes full of mockery towards the retreating Han army.

Then, the rattan armor soldiers began to get busy.

They were like a group of greedy locusts, picking up the weapons, flags and drums abandoned by the Han army.

To the Rattan Armor Army, which had been used to poverty, the weapons left by the Han Army were as precious as rare treasures.

They carefully collected all the spoils, leaving no one behind.

at the same time.

Ten miles to the north, 200,000 Han troops were marching southward towards Zhucheng.

Liu Bei and Xiao Fang rode side by side, their brows furrowed as they planned how to besiege and attack the city.

Zhucheng is Meng Huo's old lair. Meng Huo will do his best to defend Zhucheng and fight a decisive battle with the Han army.

Liu Bei secretly calculated that if he wanted to capture this capital, he would have to sacrifice the lives of at least tens of thousands of soldiers.

"If Jinglue's strategy works, the barbarians will be lured out of their lair and defeated by me. In this case, it will be much easier to capture Zhucheng..."

There was a gleam of anticipation in Liu Bei's eyes.

Xiao Fang's face was calm, and he said calmly:

"If Meng Huo goes to battle, Zhang Wenyuan will surely win given his strength."

"However, I am worried that the barbarian may cheat."

Liu Bei looked at Xiao Fang blankly, his heart full of confusion.

Meng Huo was just a barbarian.

What cunning scheme can you come up with?
At this moment, a horse galloped over like lightning and pulled the reins in front of Liu Bei.

The knight dismounted, knelt on one knee, and reported loudly:

"Your Majesty, General Zhang was defeated by the barbarian army in the north of Zhucheng and is retreating here."

Although the scout's voice was not loud, it was like a blockbuster bomb, exploding in Liu Bei's heart.

His body trembled and he looked at Xiao Fang in disbelief.

Xiao Fang's prediction came true; Zhang Liao was actually defeated by Meng Huo.

Liu Bei was full of doubts and confusion. Zhang Liao had 30,000 elite soldiers, including thousands of archers.

The crossbows equipped by these archers are extremely powerful.

The barbarian troops in Zhucheng were even less than a drop in the bucket of the Han army, and their equipment was far inferior to that of the Han army.

Even if Meng Huo came out in full force, how could he be a match for Zhang Liao?

It doesn’t make sense!
"How did Zhang Wenyuan lose to that thief Meng?"

Liu Bei asked with a look of doubt on his face, his eyes revealing anxiety and uneasiness.

"Your Majesty, the one fighting against General Zhang is Wutugu!"

"I heard that the army this man leads is called the Rattan Armor Army!"

"Our army was defeated by this army!"

The scout replied quickly.

When Liu Bei heard this, he was struck by lightning and was so shocked that he was speechless.

The generals on both sides also looked confused, with doubt in their eyes.

Fuji...Armor Army?
What is this?

How could a few thousand people defeat an army that is ten times their size?

This is simply like a fairy tale!
Liu Bei looked at the generals blankly, hoping to get an answer from them.

All the generals looked confused.

They were whispering and talking to each other, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Since ancient times, people have only heard of leather armor and iron armor, but have never heard of rattan armor.

To put it bluntly, this thing is just a branch.

Shouldn't that thing be able to be easily shattered into pieces with just one cut?
This thing can actually stop the well-equipped Han army?
Unbelievable!

The generals shook their heads in disbelief.

Liu Bei also had a questioning look on his face, and his eyes were filled with confusion. (End of this chapter)
