Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 340 334. Destroying with overwhelming force
Fire splattered.

The rising flames were like a giant mouth, swallowing up these beasts that originally seemed extremely huge.

The orange-red outer flame and the yellow-white transparent inner flame, catalyzed by kerosene and petroleum, greedily devoured the flesh and blood of these giant beasts like gnawing at their bones and hearts.

The thick skin of these giant beasts turned black under the high temperature, a sign of carbonization. The tissues, cells, and blood vessels covering the skin were all completely destroyed by the flames. Finally, some liquid with an alluring fragrance flowed out.

This is the subcutaneous fat of these giant beasts. This fat then joined the carnival of flames, truly "adding fuel to the fire".

These giant beasts could naturally feel that their lives were being devoured and evaporated along with their blood and fat by the flames, but they could do nothing about it.

Their huge bodies meant they couldn't put out fires by rolling on the ground like other animals, and their intelligence meant they could only run wildly in search of water.

However, this battlefield was a plain, and the nearest stream of water was several miles away. By the time they ran over, it would probably have turned into charred ashes.

In the end, these burning beasts could only howl helplessly, their speed slowing down, and finally they could only make a loud bang, then fall to the ground, raising a cloud of dust, allowing the flames to slowly feast on their lifeless remains.

"Surround and kill that white elephant!"

Feng Xi had sharp eyes. When he saw the white elephant that looked out of place among the other elephants, he knew that it was most likely the mount of King Mulu. He shouted a few times, asking the soldiers not to burn it directly.

Zhuge Liang killed King Mulu because he was simply unable to restrain his strength, or because he disdained King Mulu, or because he wanted to eliminate this evil. But in any case, Feng Xi saw King Mulu as a talent, a natural veterinary saint.

"Grand Commander, this beast has gone mad. If we order our brothers to attack directly, I'm afraid..."

Bao Feng could see how much power was contained in the elephant's huge body. A few Nanzhong barbarians who had not been able to dodge were blocked by it and were knocked away by it. They fell to the ground and died with blood coming out of all their orifices.

Even Bao Feng, who always prided himself on his strength, had no intention of going up to compete with it to see who was stronger.

"It's not the elephant that's important, it's the man on it."

Feng Xi pointed at King Mulu who was still lying on the back of the white elephant.

"Bao Feng, cover me, I will shoot the arrow myself."

Feng Xi hung his red tassel spear on the side of the saddle, picked up his crossbow, and aimed at the still mad white elephant through the crosshairs.

"middle!"

Feng Xi let out a low shout, pulled the trigger with his finger, and the crossbow arrow shot out, heading straight for the white elephant's face.

“Swoosh—Puff.”

The arrow hit the white elephant's left eye, which was bloodshot due to madness, and blood splattered everywhere like an explosion.

"hold head high--!!!"

The white elephant roared and broke free of the shackles. The discomfort caused by King Mulu lying on it made the white elephant shake its body wildly, and even raised its two front hooves and stood up slightly. This time, King Mulu could no longer control his body and fell straight to the ground. Fortunately, he had experience when he tamed these beasts in the past. When he saw that he was about to fall to the ground, he quickly adjusted his body shape, rolled on the ground for a few times, and fell to the ground after releasing most of the force.

"Huh...huh..."

King Mulu was panting and was about to get up, but five or six spears with strange tips were already pointed at him. He looked up and found that he was surrounded by three layers of Han troops, dozens of them in total.

Although King Mulu was tall, he was not known for his bravery. Although he could fight ordinary people, he could only flee when he was asked to fight dozens of well-armed and well-trained Han soldiers with his bare hands.

So it was no surprise that King Mulu had no choice but to surrender and did not dare to have any ill intentions.

As for the white elephant that he had been thinking about, after it was confirmed that King Mulu was captured alive, the Han army directly used the same method to burn it into a huge fireball, which also caused considerable trouble to the barbarian soldiers in the rear. It was an unexpected surprise.

"..."

Meng Huo was dumbfounded at the height. The Han army was like a celestial being sent down to earth. King Mulu's wild beasts and elephants were bombarded by thunder and fire, and they were thrown into chaos without fighting. Those powerful war machines were easily engulfed by the flames and did not play any role at all.

Meng Huo was somewhat regretful at this time. He had seen the behavior of the Han army in the past. Although the Yizhou army during Liu Zhang's time had conquered Nanzhong several times and had good results, in Meng Huo's opinion, the Han people were just relying on their large numbers and sharp weapons and armor, and they were not heroes.

The current Han army made Meng Huo feel completely terrified and confused. This was the fear of facing an enemy that was beyond his understanding.

Meng Huo couldn't understand the principle behind the loud noises and flames. Those strange weapons could shoot down a dozen good men from Nanzhong like cutting wheat.

Because they had no armor, they could not even get close to the Han army. They could only be killed one by one by the Han army's archers like lambs to be slaughtered.

At this time, the Han army had already broken through King Mulu's front army and started fighting with Dongdana and Ahuinan's central army.

Although Dong Tuna and Ahui Nan are marshal-level figures in Nanzhong, their level is only that of ordinary generals. They are generals selected from among short men. Faced with such a crushing battle situation, it is impossible for them to have any sudden inspiration to break the deadlock.

There was no way. After all, their experience came from the internal struggles between countless cave dwellings. Naturally, they didn't know too many Han people's allusions, and they couldn't even copy the answers if they wanted to.

The barbarians rushed forward howling, and were first shot down by the crossbows and crossbows of the Shenji Camp, and then many of them were killed by the homemade mines and Molotov cocktails of the grenadiers. When the survivors arrived in front of the Han army covered in dust, they were faced with a large array of swords, shields, and hook-and-sickle spears that were ready for battle. They only had one weapon, and facing this situation was like a dog biting a hedgehog, with no idea where to start.

While they were stunned, there were several sounds of bows and crossbows in the Han army formation, and these barbarian soldiers who were hesitating to move forward were shot to the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.

"Failed."

Only these two words flashed through Meng Huo's mind. It's not that he hadn't thought about his failure, but in his mind, even if he failed, it should be after a brutal tug-of-war with the Han army, with countless casualties, that he was defeated by the Han army.

He had never expected such a crushing defeat by the Han army. Meng Huo even felt that if it weren't for the beast army of King Mulu, it would be even easier for the white-robed Han army to slaughter his men.

"My lord, our army is in a bad condition. How about..."

Duosi and Meng You, who were accompanying Meng Huo, had a clear understanding of the situation on the battlefield. When they saw that something was not right, they quickly spoke out to give advice.
