You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Chapter 213 This Commander has been waiting for you here for a long time.
The Chibi Forest stretches endlessly and is a famous forest area in southern Xinjiang.

The fire that broke out in the Red Cliff Forest illuminated not only the surrounding area for hundreds of miles.

The towering flames, in the pitch-black night, were like stars in the night sky, visible to almost everyone in the southern border region.

As the fire spread, the jackals, tigers, and leopards in the Red Cliff Forest were all terrified and fled in all directions in a frenzy.

Meanwhile, the barbarian army hidden in the Red Cliff Forest was not only threatened by the fire and the danger of their own horses trampling them, but also by the maddened jackals and tigers in the Red Cliff Forest.

For a time, the Red Cliff Forest was filled with the roars of tigers and howls of wolves, and constant screams of agony.

Before the barbarian army was even engulfed in flames, many had already perished under the trampling of their own horses and from the attacks of jackals, wolves, and tigers.

At the commander's command, all the barbarian generals led their troops to charge towards the area where the fire was weakest.

Given the current situation, the barbarian army has no time to hide and ambush King Zhou Zhan; escaping from Chibi Forest is their top priority.

Otherwise, given the speed at which the fire was burning, if their barbarian army didn't quickly escape from the Red Cliff Forest, not only would they not be able to ambush King Zhou Zhan, but their hundreds of thousands of troops would also perish in the sea of ​​fire.

"Destroy."

Soon, the barbarian army approached the front where the fire was weak.

Seeing the fire spreading for miles, the barbarian general, barbarian commander, and barbarian priest all took action.

They wanted to use their strength to pave a path for the barbarian army to escape.

However, human strength is sometimes no match for nature, and individual power is insignificant in the face of such a raging fire.

Even a half-step Celestial being like a barbarian priest could not extinguish the fire that stretched for miles.

But they had no choice but to do their best.

Because hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops were waiting for them to live.

If they cannot find a way to escape, their hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops will perish in the flames.

……

Three miles away.

King Zhou Zhan, who was known as the Mountain King, changed his expression when he saw the towering flames in the Red Cliff Forest.

The fire at Red Cliffs buried all the heroes of the world.

"What a fine Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin."

"A single fire wiped out hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops; this has truly broadened my horizons."

King Zhou Zhan, now aware of how terrifying Zhou Yu was, finally understood.

Previously, Zhou Yu told King Zhou Zhan that he would use a fire strategy to defeat the barbarian army.

At the time, King Zhou Zhan of Kaoshan didn't think much of it, but now, seeing the towering fire in the Chibi Forest, he realized that this wasn't just about defeating the barbarian army; it was about annihilating the entire barbarian army with a single fire.

Given the intensity of the fire, it would be difficult for the barbarian army hiding in the Red Cliff Forest to escape.

"The entire army retreats five li, with the cavalry at the very back, quickly."

"I can't breathe," said Zhou Zhan, the Prince of Kao Shan, immediately giving the order.

The fire in Chibi Forest was so intense that even from three miles away, King Zhou Zhan of Kaoshan could feel the threat posed by the fire.

In particular, the horses beneath their cavalrymen were already somewhat frightened by the fire in the Red Cliff Forest.

Therefore, the Prince of Kaoshan had no choice but to immediately order a retreat of five li, with the cavalry retreating to the very back.

"Follow the order."

A general standing nearby immediately turned and went to relay the order.

With a command from King Zhou Zhan, the entire Zhennan Army retreated to a distance of five li, with the cavalry taking the last position.

Only then, facing the fire in the Red Cliff Forest, King Zhou Zhan no longer felt the same sense of danger as before.

"Your Highness, with such a large fire, I'm afraid few of the barbarian bandits will be able to escape."

One of the generals spoke up.

King Zhou Zhan nodded; "No matter how many of the barbarian thieves manage to escape, I will make sure that none of them leave this southern borderland."

"Order the army to begin setting up defenses around the perimeter. If any barbarian thieves are seen escaping, do not hesitate to kill them all."

King Zhou Zhan, looking at the towering fire in the Chibi Forest ahead, said in a cold voice.

……

After an unknown amount of time, the fire in the Red Cliff Forest became even more raging than before.

The towering flames, in the pitch-black night, were like a guiding light, leading people home in glory.

However, the screams that occasionally echoed through the Red Cliff Forest made it clear that the direction of this triumphant return home was the dark underworld.

Amidst the raging flames, figures rushed out one after another.

The figure that had broken free from the flames dared not linger and continued running forward.

The figures that rushed out only stopped when they were far away from the fire in the Red Cliff Forest.

The barbarian general stared at the raging fire at the Red Cliff Forest, listening to the screams that echoed from time to time, his face contorted with rage; "My barbarian warriors, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, are gone just like that."

"Zhou Zhan, you old scoundrel, you treacherous villain, I will never let you get away with this."

Man Shuai stared at Chibi Forest, his eyes bloodshot, and roared through gritted teeth.

Although he broke through, most of the barbarian army had not yet broken through.

Even with barbarian priests and all the barbarian generals leading the way, not many barbarian warriors managed to break through.

As for the barbarian warriors who didn't charge out, their fate was predictable.

The screams that could be heard from time to time were the best proof of that.

At this moment, the barbarian general's hatred for King Zhou Zhan reached its peak.

In the eyes of the barbarian general, it was King Zhou Zhan of Kaoshan who used such a vicious scheme, which caused so many of his barbarian warriors to perish in this sea of ​​fire.

As the commander of the barbarian army, he could only watch helplessly as his soldiers perished in the flames.

This was quite a torment for Man Shuai.

The barbarian generals and priests who followed the barbarian commander out also stared at the raging fire in the Red Cliff Forest, their faces contorted with rage.

These are hundreds of thousands of warriors from their barbarian tribe, half of the entire barbarian army.

They perished in the sea of ​​fire, which was something that each of the barbarian generals found hard to accept for a while.

Their barbarian warriors are not afraid of death; what they fear is dying meaninglessly.

Hundreds of thousands of barbarian warriors did not die on the battlefield, nor did they kill a single enemy, but they perished in the sea of ​​fire.

This is a disgrace to their barbarian warriors.

"General, let's go quickly!"

"King Kao Shan devised this plan, burning the barbarian army to death with a single fire. He must have also deployed heavy troops all around the area."

"If we don't leave quickly and they find out, we'll be in trouble."

A barbarian general said to the barbarian commander.

Although this barbarian general also had a ferocious expression, he was extremely angry about the barbarian warriors who had been killed in the Red Cliff Forest.

But the barbarian general knew that now was not the time to be angry; they needed to leave this place as soon as possible.

Since King Zhou Zhan of Kao Shan set up this plan at Chibi Forest, he must have had a backup plan.

Now, their army has perished in the Red Cliff Forest, and although they managed to break through, most of them were wounded.

If they don't leave here quickly, it will be difficult for them to leave once the King of the Mountain discovers them.

"Wait a minute, let's see how many of my barbarian warriors can charge out."

Man Shuai didn't leave immediately.

He wanted to wait for the remaining barbarian warriors who could still charge out.

Sure enough, another group of figures rushed out.

Although the fire in the Red Cliff Forest was very large, some people with considerable strength were still able to break through.

A dozen minutes later, the fire in Chibi Forest escalated to another level.

Looking at the raging fire, the commander glanced back at the thousands of soldiers who had already charged out, his face turning extremely grim.

Of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, only a few thousand have managed to break through so far.

Such losses could be described as total annihilation.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people might rush out of Chibi Forest from other directions.

"Walk."

He was quite handsome and decided not to wait any longer.

The fire intensified further. Under such intense fire, the chances of escaping were extremely slim.

"King Zhou Zhan, I will never let you go."

The general secretly made a vow and led the thousands of soldiers who had rushed out toward the South Gate.

After traveling some distance, the barbarian general and his thousands of soldiers stopped.

Because the handsome man saw thousands of crossbows aimed menacingly at them from the front.

Furthermore, three figures were standing on a high slope ahead.

Even in the darkness, Man Shuai recognized one of the figures by the light of the towering fire in the Chibi forest.

Zhou Rushan, the ancestor of the Great Zhou royal family.

"Barbarian scoundrels, this governor has been waiting for you here for a long time."

"If you dare to offend my Great Zhou, then none of you will ever leave my Great Zhou again."

“This hundred-mile stretch of Red Cliff Forest will be your burial ground.”

On the high slope, Zhou Yu looked at Man Shuai and the others and spoke calmly.

Standing beside Zhou Yu were Taishi Ci and Zhou Rushan.

Zhou Rushan came to the southern border with Zhou Yu.

To guard against attacks from the Southern Barbarian priests, Zhou Chen sent Zhou Rushan to the Southern Frontier.

Hearing Zhou Yu's words and seeing the thousands of crossbows aimed at them, Man Shuai's heart sank to the bottom.

Sure enough, the King of Kao Shan had a backup plan.

Troops were deployed here to intercept those who had escaped the fire in the Red Cliff Forest.

It's likely that the King of Kao Shan has deployed troops throughout the hundred-mile area outside the Red Cliff Forest.

"kill."

Man Shuai coldly uttered a single word, then without hesitation, leaped into the air and charged forward.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

The barbarian army of hundreds of thousands perished in the fire at Chibi Forest, which made the barbarian commander and his men hate the Zhennan Army to the bone.

Now that we're facing off, what else is there to say?

Only by killing the other party directly can one feel satisfaction.

With the barbarian commander's order, the barbarian priests and the thousands of barbarian troops that had charged out all rushed forward madly.

"Fire arrows."

A dense rain of arrows, like spring rain, was unleashed at Zhou Yu's command, heading straight for the charging barbarians.

Meanwhile, Taishi Ci, standing beside Zhou Yu, drew his spear and leaped forward to meet the barbarian general.

Zhou Rushan also flew out and engaged in a fierce battle with the Southern Barbarian priest.

Under the rain of arrows, thousands of southern barbarian tribesmen fell.

Seeing several skilled barbarian generals charging forward, Zhou Yu didn't hesitate and swung his sword to meet them.

"who are you?"

"There's no one like you among the generals of the Zhennan Army."

The fierce general who fought against Taishi Ci had a solemn expression on his face.

Just now, when he saw Taishi Ci approaching him, he hadn't taken Taishi Ci seriously.

But after this exchange, Man Shuai realized that the strength of the unfamiliar general in front of him seemed to be no less than that of Man Shuai himself.

This greatly shocked Man Shuai.

It should be noted that among the entire Zhennan Army, only King Zhou Zhan of Kaoshan was comparable in strength to this barbarian commander.

Besides King Zhou Zhan, when did such a powerful general emerge in the Zhennan Army?

“I am Taishi Ci, a barbarian traitor. You dare to invade my Great Zhou. I will shoot you.”

Taishi Ci thrust his spear directly at the barbarian general.

With a slash of his broadsword, the savage general deflected the spear thrust from Taishi Ci.

The two engaged in a fierce battle.

It must be said that as the commander of this barbarian army, the strength of the Barbarian General is beyond doubt.

Even Taishi Ci, this barbarian general, fought him to a standstill.

Although Man Shuai is at a disadvantage, it will be very difficult for Tai Shi Ci to defeat him in a short period of time.

After dozens of moves.

"Return your gun."

The spear in Taishi Ci's hand flew out from behind.

"Puch."

The spear pierced through the armor on Man Shuai's chest with unstoppable force and plunged into his chest.

"puff."

Blood spurted out, and the fierce general stared angrily at Taishi Ci with his eyes wide open.

The barbarian general never expected that he, a great barbarian commander, would ultimately be defeated by this nameless young general.

Taishi Ci slapped the end of the spear with his right hand and flew over.

The spear pierced through Man Shuai's body and returned to Taishi Ci's hand.

"Pfft."

Man Shuai's body collapsed behind Tai Shi Ci.

Thus, the commander of a great barbarian army died at the hands of Taishi Ci.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu's attacks were also unstoppable; among the barbarian generals, none could withstand him.

Zhou Yu twirled his longsword, creating several flourishes.

With each sword strike, several blossoms of blood splattered.

……

Half an hour later.

Zhou Yu looked at the corpses scattered on the ground and put away his long sword.

The thousands of barbarians who rushed out of the Red Cliff Forest all fell to the ground, turning into corpses.

Apart from the dozen or so barbarian generals killed by Zhou Yu and Taishi Ci, the rest of the barbarians died under crossbow bolts.

“Governor Zhou, the Southern Barbarian priest has escaped. I’m going to help Ancestor Zhou chase after the Southern Barbarian priest.”

Taishi Ci spoke to Zhou Yu, blood still dripping from the spear in his hand.

The southern barbarian priest, seeing the situation was turning against him, was the first to flee.

"no need."

Before Zhou Yu could even speak, Zhou Rushan's figure had already rushed over from a distance.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Zhou Yu and Taishi Ci.

Zhou Rushan was carrying a person in his hand, who was the Southern Barbarian priest.

However, this priest of the South Gate is now a dead man.

Zhou Yu glanced at the Southern Barbarian priest in Zhou Rushan's hand, then noticed Zhou Rushan's pale face and bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but ask, "Ancestor Zhou, are you injured?"

"Is it okay!"

Zhou Rushan shook his head; "It's nothing serious."

Although Zhou Rushan defeated the barbarian priest, he also suffered serious injuries.

After all, a half-step Celestial being is not so easy to deal with.

Unlike Lü Bu and Cao Zhengchun, Zhou Rushan was not as ruthless as those who slaughtered their peers as if they were dogs.

"It's okay."

Zhou Yu nodded, looking at the corpses on the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The barbarian army that had invaded southern Xinjiang was wiped out.

Zhou Yu did not betray His Majesty's trust.
