Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 317 311. Counterattack
King Mulu is naturally not well-known in the Central Plains, but he is quite famous in Nanzhong.

The reason is simple. King Mulu has the ability to control wild beasts. In Nanzhong where stick fights are common, he is already considered a high-end player.

Of course, King Mulu would certainly brag about himself as being very magical, saying that he could talk to animals and grasp the souls of animals. Anyway, most people wouldn't understand and would just think that King Mulu was really capable.

King Mulu was a neutral person in the South, not paying much attention to Yang Feng or Meng Huo. Because he had skills, he was qualified to be sold at a high price, so no matter which side he was, they had to win him over.

Sure enough, in the end Meng Huo promised a lot of benefits, and King Mulu agreed to join him in threatening Yang Feng.

At first, Meng Huo meant that the soldiers in his caves were not enough to crush Yinzhi Cave. Even if Yang Feng was not there at the time, it would not be easy for Meng Huo and his men to take over Yinzhi Cave, which was well defended. The role of King Mulu was to calm the situation and to serve as a pioneer to open a gap when necessary.

However, as Yang Feng returned to his own territory, no fighting broke out. Yang Feng finally gave in under pressure. King Mulu originally thought that the matter had come to an end and was ready to go back.

As luck would have it, the confidant that Yang Feng sent to Sichuan for help deceived humans, but failed to deceive animals with keen senses. The eagle raised by King Mulu easily discovered the suspicious man, and then King Mulu, at Meng Huo's nod, released his two black panthers to chase the man, which was the previous scene.

Although the letter was stained with blood, the signature of Yang Feng was still clearly visible. In addition, the words between the lines mostly expressed dissatisfaction with Meng Huo and prayers to the Han army, which made Meng Huo furious after reading it.

"You are such a bad guy, Yang Feng. I wanted to let this go for the sake of our brotherhood, but I didn't expect you to dare to contact the Han people and start an internal fight. If I don't deal with you, Yang Feng, today, how can I, Meng Huo, govern the 72 caves in Nanzhong?"

After Meng Huo vented his anger, he threw the letter to his brother-in-law, the cave master. After reading it, Dai was also very angry. He felt that this was Nanzhong's own internal affair, but Yang Feng dared to invite outsiders, which changed the nature of the matter.

"Ahem, King Mulu, please stay for a while. We may have to have a falling out with Yang Feng."

Meng Huo's face suddenly changed, and he kindly asked King Mulu to stay for a while.

"My king, this is different from what we agreed on before. If you want to stay, I'm afraid you have to..."

Although King Mulu was simple, he was not stupid. He considered one thing at a time and quoted a price that made Meng Huo feel heartbroken. However, King Mulu had hundreds of ferocious beasts under his command. If they all attacked at the same time, it would be impossible to resist them.

In the end, in order to suppress Yang Feng, Meng Huo had no choice but to accept King Mulu's huge demands.

"My king, what do you mean? I have already delivered everything I promised you, and you want to go to war again today. Are you going to break your oath?!"

On the second day, Yang Feng saw Meng Huo's army approaching and felt something was wrong, but he still gritted his teeth and shouted at Meng Huo on the tower.

"Yang Feng! Stop playing dumb here! You secretly sent people to contact the Han people, intending to use their power. The fact has already been exposed! Now that you are caught red-handed, don't try to argue. It will be unjust if I don't bring your Yinzhi Cave back under my command!"

When Meng Huo waved the bloody letter in his hand, Yang Feng knew that his confidant was probably killed by them. However, his Yinzhi Cave had always been warlike and had a large number of soldiers and horses, so Yang Feng was not really worried that Meng Huo would be able to turn the tables.

Now Meng Huo has only 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses, and it is pure wishful thinking for him to want to swallow me up.

"Charge! Capture these traitors from Yinzhidong!"

Following Meng Huo's order, the coalition forces composed of several cave dwellings began to rush towards the defense line of Yinzhi Cave like a tide.

Unfortunately, these coalition forces were originally a motley crowd, and now they lacked a unified command, so they were easily repelled by the soldiers under Yang Feng's command. "King Mulu, look..."

Seeing that the offensive was thwarted, Meng Huo looked at King Mulu who was standing still.

"No. Yang Feng is in the stronghold, and the beasts under my command cannot cross the fences and walls to attack the rebels."

King Mulu decisively shook his head to refuse. Seeing this old man acting like this, Meng Huo gritted his teeth and had to give up, letting his soldiers continue to die and try to break through Yang Feng's external defense.

"This Meng Huo is just so-so. Father, why don't we fight back and kill them?"

In the village, Yang Feng's eldest son saw that the coalition forces under Meng Huo were so weak that he became eager to open the gate of the village and go out for a counterattack to crush the morale of the coalition forces.

"Okay, you and Lao Wu will charge out together, defeat the coalition forces for a while and then return. Be careful that Meng Huo has a backup plan."

Yang Feng thought about it and agreed. On the one hand, Yang Feng didn't know that King Mulu was still in Meng Huo's army. On the other hand, what his son said made sense. Meng Huo was so weak that he would be sorry if he didn't go out and beat him up.

"Squeak~"

With the sound of wood rubbing against each other, the warriors of Yinzhi Cave rushed out from behind the wooden fence with a roar. The coalition forces' attack was not going well, and who would have thought that the people of Yinzhi Cave would dare to turn defense into offense? The coalition soldiers who were originally hesitant in front of the big village were chopped down in an instant.

Yang Feng's eldest son and fifth son took the lead, bringing thousands of elite soldiers from Yinzhi Cave to kill anyone they saw. The coalition forces were instantly repelled by this wave of counterattacks.

"Old Five, that's enough, it's time to retreat."

Yang Feng's eldest son saw that his counterattack was effective, so he called his younger brother to retreat.

"Brother, they are such useless people. Why don't you and I rush over and capture Meng Huo alive to relieve our father's worries?"

Yang Feng's five sons pointed at Meng Huo, who was a little panicked in the distance. As the king of Nanzhong, he naturally wanted to be extremely luxurious. Even on the battlefield, he sat on a tiger-skin bamboo chair, which was very conspicuous.

"This... since father has given instructions, we should..."

Yang Feng's eldest son hesitated for a moment, thinking that doing so was still somewhat risky, and wanted to follow Yang Feng's instructions and quit while he was ahead.

"Brother, if you don't want to, I will go myself! When we capture Meng Huo, don't say I took all the credit!"

Seeing his brother being so fussy, Lao Wu raised his eyebrows, ignored his brother, and encouraged the soldiers around him to join him in killing Meng Huo who was not far away.

"Brothers, come with me and capture Meng Huo alive!"

Under Lao Wu's encouragement, the morale of the soldiers in Yinzhi Cave was greatly boosted, as if they were really going to capture Meng Huo alive today.
