The sound of heavy rain battered the roof of the main command tent of the joint Wei and Shu-Han forces. The storm, which had been raging since afternoon, had turned the plains around the walls of Xuzhou into a disgusting sea of mud. The air inside the tent felt damp and stuffy, filled with the tension of leaders who were running out of ideas.

Cao Mengde slammed his fist onto the wooden table in front of him with tremendous force. An empty wine cup toppled over and fell on

    Liu Bei leaped from his chair. The Imperial Uncle's face was flushed red, the veins on his neck bulging out from pure anger and horror. He stared at Jo Fan in disbelief."Master Jo, have you lost your mind?!" Liu Bei roared, ignoring Cao Cao's presence in the room. "Xuzhou is our home! Hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians are inside those walls. If we direct two large rivers there at once, houses will be destroyed. Farmers, women, and little children will drown! I strongly reject this tactic of mass slaughter!"An awkward silence instantly enveloped the tent. Cao Cao smirked dismissively at the Imperial Uncle's narrow idealism. Guo Jia simply bowed his head, waiting to see how the mad advisor would handle his own boss.Jo Fan did not turn away. The young man stared straight into Liu Bei's eyes, which were filled with the fire of virtue. Jo Fan's gaze was as cold as a block of ice, entirely unaffected by his master

    The sound of heavy rain battered the roof of the main command tent of the joint Wei and Shu-Han forces. The storm, which had been raging since afternoon, had turned the plains around the walls of Xuzhou into a disgusting sea of mud. The air inside the tent felt damp and stuffy, filled with the tension of leaders who were running out of ideas.Cao Mengde slammed his fist onto the wooden table in front of him with tremendous force. An empty wine cup toppled over and fell onto the carpet."Our trebuchet stones just sink into the mud!" Cao Cao growled, his dark eyes sweeping over all the generals and advisors present. "The ground out there is too soft to support the footing of our giant siege engines. Our climbing ladders slip. And Lu Bu still has fifteen thousand surviving Wolf Cavalry sheltering behind those walls. We cannot just sit here waiting for the storm to pass!"Liu Bei, sitting across the table, looked equally fru

  • Chapter 171: The Tiger's Last Cage

    The screech of giant iron hinges and steel chains being forcefully pulled echoed through the silence behind the walls of Xuzhou city. The massive wooden drawbridge was raised with frantic speed. The main gate, made of iron-plated teakwood, was finally sealed shut, slamming against its frame with a dull boom that shook the ground.Lu Bu, the God of War feared throughout the Chinese mainland, nearly tumbled from the saddle of the commandeered horse carrying him. The ordinary horse whimpered in exhaustion, its legs trembling under the weight of the gold-armored giant whose body was now covered in filthy blood.There were no victory cheers to welcome his return. No beating of grand drums.The Xuzhou gate guards stared at their supreme commander with wide, disbelieving eyes. Lu Bu's proud golden armor was shattered at the chest and right waist. His right arm hung numb, while his left hand tightly clutched a gaping wound that

  • Chapter 170: The Spoils of War

    Thousands of Wei heavy infantry soldiers marched forward quickly, splitting the Pingyuan army formation that was currently resting. Cao Cao's one hundred thousand main troops finally arrived at the battle location, coming right at the moment Liu Bei's troops' sweat and blood had already spilled to soak the land.In the very front row, a steel-muscled monster strode forward through the crowd. Xu Chu, the giant executioner of the Wei faction, walked with heavy, roaring breaths. On his left, General Xiahou Dun smirked with his one savage eye. On his right, General Xiahou Yuan looked down on the remnants of the Shu-Han army.Damn. Total loan shark mentality. During the war they hide on the hill, but when it's time to loot the spoils of war they push right to the front, Jo Fan cursed inwardly. The young man turned his wheelchair to face the arriving Wei army, his eyes narrowing with deep vigilance.Xu Chu stopped his steps te

  • Chapter 169: A Hollow Victory

    The giant in golden armor disappeared behind the dust cloud. He spurred his commandeered horse with desperate speed toward the gates of Xuzhou. The departure of the God of War, who had never before retreated from a battlefield, dealt a devastating psychological blow to his troops.The thirty thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, who had earlier roared savagely like predators, instantly lost their fangs. The leader they revered as a guardian deity had fled the battlefield. The army's morale shattered into pieces. Their formation crumbled completely. The cavalrymen collided with one another, turned around in a panic, and spurred their horses to run back into the protection of Xuzhou's walls.The victory cheers from the Pingyuan infantry erupted, shaking the land of China. They surged forward, thrusting their spears into the backs of the fleeing enemy. A one-sided slaughter took place in the remnants of the horseshoe formation corridor.On the command carriage, Jo Fan leaned his stiff back aga

  • Chapter 168: Red Hare's Cry and Lu Bu's Final Effort

    "FINISH IT NOW BEFORE CAO CAO STEALS THAT HEAD! KILL HIM!"The shrill voice from Jo Fan's plastic loudspeaker sliced through the dusty air of Xuzhou. The white-haired young man's scream was not just a tactical command, but a death sentence thrown right into the middle of the execution arena.On the saddle of his horse, Lu Bu heard the scream. The ears of the God of War also caught another sound, much more terrifying, coming from behind the enemy formation. The sound of giant war drums beaten in rhythm, accompanied by the vibration of the earth from the steps of a hundred thousand Wei soldiers moving forward like a flood.Cao Mengde did not come to save anyone. The tyrant came to level this entire land into a mass grave.A very brutal realization finally hit Lu Bu's common sense. If he kept forcing himself to fight in this narrow corridor, he would die. His body would be chopped to pieces by the three
