My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 284: Alliance Destruction
"not good!"

"It smells like kerosene!"

"Lü Yi has placed kerosene in the camp. Everyone, stay away from the military tents!"

King Zuo Xian suddenly came to his senses and quickly gave orders to the coalition forces under his command.

But his reaction was quick.

But it was not faster than Lu Yi's rocket.

"Fire rockets!"

At Lu Yi's command, hundreds of archers who had prepared rockets long ago shot the rockets at the military camp filled with Huns and kerosene.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

A series of rockets accurately hit the tents near the camp gate. The tents made of fur and cloth were easily ignited by the rockets, which further ignited the kerosene that Lu Yi had arranged in advance inside the tents.

Kerosene is flammable to begin with, and when it comes into contact with an open flame it bursts into a massive flame, burning the Allied soldiers trapped inside to the point of crying for their parents.

Gonggong is ruthless and Zhurong is heartless!
The burning flames do not care about the disputes in the world.

He will simply burn everything he encounters, no matter if it is an object or a person.

The fire spread rapidly, enveloping the southern camp gate where Lu Yi was located.

Zuo Xian Wang and others were blocked by the fire, and even if they wanted to rush over and fight with Lu Yi, they had no chance.

"Go to the West Gate!"

When Zuo Xian Wang saw that he could not break out of the South Gate, he immediately led his men to the West Gate.

"Haha, this Lu Yi has planned everything, but he only missed the guards at the west gate."

King Zuo Xian was overjoyed when he saw the west gate was open, and immediately wanted to lead the remaining troops to charge out from the west gate.

"This door is off-limits!"

"He who comes is stopped!"

"Fire arrows!"

However, just when Zuo Xian Wang and the remnants were excited, Gao Shun showed up with the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp.

Along with them appeared rockets in their hands.

"What! There's an ambush at the west gate too?"

Zuo Xian Wang could only watch helplessly as Gao Shun gave an order and hundreds of rockets flew and hit the military tents around him. Suddenly, a fire broke out among the coalition forces again, burning the remaining soldiers to the point of screaming in agony.

"Turn to the east gate!"

Zuo Xian Wang's face was blackened by the flames, and even a whip on his head was burned off. Seeing that he could not break out of the west gate, he had to muster up his strength and lead the remnants of the coalition forces, which had been reduced again, to continue marching towards the east gate.

"Haha, I, Jiuyuan Lu Bu, have been waiting for you, the leader, for a long time!"

However, Lu Yi also arranged for Lu Bu to guard the east gate.

"Oh no, it's Lu Bu!"

"Hurry and follow me to break through the north gate!"

Lu Bu's notorious reputation was not only known among the allied forces, but even in the enemy Jiang Qu's army, the mention of it would make the soldiers shudder.

When Zuo Xian Wang saw such a fierce man blocking the camp gate with a gun and a smile on his face, he dared not charge forward.

Facing Lu Yi, he still dared to muster up his remaining courage and fight to the death.

However, facing the even more terrifying Lu Bu, he could not muster the slightest courage and had to lead the remaining troops to flee north in panic, towards the north gate, the only one they had not yet visited.

Compared to Lu Bu, who was already so fierce that he was no longer human, Zuo Xian Wang was even more willing to face the fire at the original west gate and south gate.

After all, no matter how ruthless Zhu Rong is, there is still a glimmer of hope.

If he were targeted by Lu Bu, even if Zuo Xian Wang was surrounded by thousands of soldiers and had numerous guards around him, he would find it difficult to feel safe.

For Lu Bu, taking a general's head in the midst of thousands of soldiers was like a piece of cake. He didn't dare to use his own head to test whether Lu Yi's spear was sharp.

However, Zuo Xian Wang wanted to run away, but Lu Bu would not miss the opportunity to give him a beating when he was down.

He immediately led his soldiers to chase after the remnants of Zuo Xian Wang's army, and only stopped fighting after thousands of Hu people had been killed.

"My brother and the military advisor have already told us that killing a thousand of Zuo Xian Wang's men is enough. You should quickly disperse and capture the ownerless war horses."

"The lives of these horses are much more valuable than Hu'er's head!"

"Did Lu Bu catch up?"

"No, he seems to be going to catch a horse..."

King Zuo Xian asked his trusted subordinates while fleeing.

After receiving the answer from his confidant, he felt both relieved and a little bit of uncontrollable anger and humiliation.

"I am the great Xiongnu Zuo Xian Wang, but in the end my head is not worth as much as a few horses..."

After Zuo Xian Wang arrived at the north gate and found that there was finally no obstruction, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led the remaining soldiers, which were now less than half of their number and had low morale, to flee towards the north gate.

King Zuoxian and a group of clan leaders did not even dare to return to their camp in the south.

Lu Yi was not a fool. He would not allow them to return to the camp safely, pack up their belongings and escape.

In this way, all the tribesmen and the cattle and sheep in the tribe became Lu Yi's possession.

However, there is no way around this.

The rise and fall of tribes like the Hu people is very common, as long as the people are in the tribe, they will exist.

If he sacrificed all his remaining men and horses for the women, cattle, sheep and property in the camp, not only would he lose his men, but the women, property, cattle and sheep would also be sold to others.

"Master, that Lu Yi is so despicable that he colluded with the Hunye tribe to deceive us."

"Now we have suffered heavy casualties and dare not return home. What will we do in the future?"

After escaping from danger, Zuo Xian Wang saw that Lu Yi did not chase him, so he arranged for the remaining troops to take an emergency rest. Otherwise, if the panic was allowed to spread among the remaining troops, their morale would be lost and they would fall apart. Everyone would flee for their own safety, and the coalition would be completely irreparable.

However, it would have been better if this had not been corrected. Once the inventory was taken, the huge losses made the survivors heartbroken. The stingy and weak tribal chief even cried miserably beside Zuo Xian Wang.

He also didn't think about how many innocent families in Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Liangzhou were destroyed by the Hu people who often went south to plunder and raid the grasslands, and how many innocent Han people either died at their hands or were abducted back to the grasslands to become slaves for generations.

In the past, when they looted the Han people, raped and plundered, these Hu people were all happy and excited, without any sense of guilt in their hearts.

Now that his own troops had been slaughtered by the Han army and their weapons and armor had been abandoned, his own women had become prisoners of the Han army, and his own hometown had been occupied by the Han people, he instead knew how to cry and grieve, and began to show his human nature.

It's really ironic.

"You are a real man, why are you crying?"

"It's just a temporary failure."

"In the past, our ancestors' journey to unify Mobei was never smooth sailing. Over the past thousands of years, there have been many more dangerous moments and tragic failures than this one!"

"As long as we have our men and horses, and our scimitars in hand, how can we be afraid of not finding a way to survive in this vast grassland?"

After a series of setbacks and blows, Zuo Xian Wang actually began to cheer up.

A series of blows have completely shattered his fantasies and ambitions, forcing him to face reality.

"But now we have Lü Yi in the south, eyeing us covetously, and Jiang Qu in the north, sharpening his sword. Where can we escape to?"

The tribal chief who had been crying earlier stopped crying and murmured in confusion.

"In that case, let's go and seek refuge with the Xianbei people!"

Zuo Xian Wang said viciously. …

"Brother, we could have eaten all of Zuo Xian Wang and his men by ourselves, so why did we let him escape on purpose?"

After defeating Zuo Xian Wang, Lu Yi withdrew his troops, and Lu Bu, who had reaped great rewards, also led his troops to join him.

However, as soon as they met, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Yi's deliberate order to let Zuo Xian Wang escape.

"Please be patient, Fengxian."

"You must know that trapped beasts will still fight. The right way is to surround three sides and leave one side open. If we forcibly besiege the Zuo Xian King, his 20,000 Hu soldiers will fight to the death. Although the result will not change and the whole army will still be destroyed, our army will also suffer unnecessary losses."

Before Lu Yi could answer, his military advisor Tian Feng stepped forward and consoled him with a smile.

"But if he leads the remaining troops north to join the Xianbei people, wouldn't that be like letting a tiger return to the mountains?"

Lu Bu was a little worried.

"Haha, the butcher's knife has already been prepared. We came to Mo Nan to help the Xiongnu resolve their disputes. How can we be the ones to do everything?"

"Since Jiang Qu has formed an alliance with us, we naturally cannot let him sit idle..."

Lu Yi chuckled and looked into the distance. It seemed that he could see the fate of Zuo Xian Wang and others who had plunged into Jiang Qu's encirclement across the grassland.

"There are many good things left by Zuo Xian Wang. We can't just focus on killing the Hu and forget about the spoils."

After taking a quick look, he turned around and led his troops towards the alliance camp.

Now half of the Huns' wealth and resources are there, and Lu Yi will not forget such a big piece of fat meat.

Lu Bu rode his horse to catch up with Lu Yi, still complaining.

"The more we fight, the poorer the Hu people become. It's becoming less and less fun to rob them."

"Brother, when are we going to rob the Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Qiang people?"

"They are much richer than the Huns!"

"There's a chance..."

……

Twenty miles away from Lu Yi, Zuo Xian Wang was also fighting desperately under Jiang Qu's ambush.

After he had just escaped, he led his remaining troops north to the northern desert to join the Xianbei people.

However, Lu Yi and Tian Feng had already calculated his actions and agreed with their ally Jiang Qu in advance to ambush King Zuo Xian here.

After all, Jiang Qu's troops were all light cavalry like Zuo Xian Wang. Zuo Xian Wang could escape the pursuit of Lu Yi's heavy cavalry, but he could never escape the pursuit of Jiang Qu's light cavalry.

However, Lu Yi himself led his men to plunder the alliance base.

Without these last 20,000 soldiers, the Xiongnu alliance garrison would certainly find it difficult to resist Lu Yi's army.

However, the 10,000 remaining soldiers of Zuo Xian Wang showed a strong desire to survive in the desperate situation, and they fought desperately against the ambush of Jiang Qu's army which was twice their number.

This caused a considerable loss to Jiang Qu.

However, Jiang Qu had long hated the traitor Zuo Xian Wang. Even though he knew that he was being used as a gun by Lu Yi, he was still willing to do so, and it could even be said that he did it on purpose.

King Zuoxian was his biggest enemy and also the most righteous person among the Huns besides himself.

If he were to get rid of this man, his position as the Great Khan of the Xiongnu would become extremely stable.

Therefore, even if he loses some strength, as long as he can sit securely on the tiger-skin throne under his butt, it will be a sure win for him.

No matter how weak the Huns are, they are still their own Huns.

On the contrary, no matter how powerful the Huns were, it would be meaningless to Jiang Qu if he was not the Khan.

"Jiang Qu!"

"You bastard, you actually colluded with the Han people. Don't you know that the Han people are full of evil intentions?"

While Zuo Xian Wang was fighting hard, he roared at Jiang Qu who was sitting quietly on his horse and smiling at the place in the distance.

"I hook up with the Han people?"

"hehe."

"If I remember correctly, you were the one who led the rebellion half a year ago and hooked up with Lu Yi, right?"

"Now that you, the Zuo Xian Wang, are about to die, you are still trying to turn the tables."

"It's really ridiculous!"

Jiang Qu was not angry at all.

Now, watching his former enemies being eliminated bit by bit before his eyes is the ultimate enjoyment for him.

"Master, we are now surrounded by Jiang Qu. What should we do? Should we surrender?"

Upon seeing this, the tribal chieftain beside Zuo Xian Wang immediately asked him.

It is normal for the Hu people to win or lose in wars.

The Hu people did not feel ashamed of surrendering, so the question raised by the tribal chief who wanted to preserve his strength represented the voices of other tribal chiefs.

Upon hearing this, they all looked at King Zuo Xian with hope.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

King Zuo Xian was certain of death today, and he became extremely clear-headed.

He looked at his companions who were still hoping for the best and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Jiang Qu is a vindictive man. We have been rebelling against him for a long time. If we had surrendered before we were surrounded, he might have killed us leaders and spared our soldiers. But now we have been defeated and ambushed by him. We are like fish on the chopping board. If you were Jiang Qu, would you be so kind as to raise a tiger to harm us?"

Zuo Xian Wang's words accurately expressed Jiang Qu's thoughts.

Jiang Qu would never allow any unstable factors to continue to exist among his Xiongnu.

Therefore, he had already made up his mind that not only Zuo Xian Wang would die today, but also the tribal leaders of these tribes would die.

Even those ordinary soldiers who had rebelled against him for many days would all die.

This is also to send a signal to the tribes under his command.

That is, anyone who betrays Jiang Qu will end up dead.

Zuo Xian Wang's words ruthlessly shattered the hopes of these tribal leaders.

After being trapped in despair, these clan leaders, after a brief period of depression, all suddenly drew out the scimitars at their waists with ferocious looks on their faces.

"Even if Jiang Qu wants to kill us all, we still have to see if he has balls in his pants. We Xiongnu people are not cowards who are afraid of death!"

"That's right. Even if I die, I won't let Jiang Qu have an easy time. Before I die, I will bite off a piece of his flesh!"

The Allied soldiers were in a desperate situation and everyone burst out with great fighting power.

Everyone risked their lives and caused great casualties to Jiang Qu's troops.

"All of you, attack me. I will chop off the head of Zuo Xian Wang today!"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Qu personally led the team to attack and blocked the desperate charge of Zuo Xian Wang and others.

Although Zuo Xian Wang and his men were determined to die and fought desperately, they were outnumbered and in poor condition, so they soon could not hold on and suffered heavy casualties at the hands of Jiang Qu and his men.

Soon, the allied soldiers were killed or wounded, and finally only dozens of people gathered around the bloody Zuo Xian Wang and fought to the death.
