Chapter 578 Rattan Armor and Flames: The Beautiful Story of Zhao Yun and Wutugu!
As Wutugu watched the Cao army soldiers roll down the cliff, one by one, pulling out strips of cloth to wrap themselves and rolling down the cliff, his worldview was greatly shocked!
Is Cao Jun's behavior acceptable?
The answer is yes, but it depends on the situation, and it requires a cliff that is not particularly steep.
For example, right now, if Cao Cao's soldiers were wearing armor, then unfortunately, due to the construction and other issues of the armor, they would most likely fall and get injured, or be hurt by the armor.
But strips of cloth are different; if used properly, they can actually reduce injury.
For details, please refer to Deng Ai's sneak crossing of Yinping, where he even deliberately threw away his armor to reduce damage.
Stunned by the actions of Cao's soldiers, Wutugu opened his mouth wide, almost big enough to fit two and a half eggs.
Seriously... are you guys so reckless?
But then, Wutugu was stunned.
The rattan armor soldiers are fine; their rattan armor is the best protective gear. Although they might get injured rolling down the cliff, they won't die from it.
What should we do with the elephants?
Should we take the elephant with us?
Every single one of the elephant soldiers behind Wutugu stopped in their tracks.
If you take another step forward, you'll end up like a little black pigeon, because there are too many black pigeons and you can't get the eggs laid by the pigeons!
"Heh, you don't dare anymore, huh?"
Pound, who was the first to tumble down the cliff, turned to look at Wutugu and disdainfully raised his middle finger.
Combined with the arrogant expression on his face, it was extremely sarcastic.
"asshole!"
Wutugu cursed loudly, almost unable to resist rushing down to have a fierce duel with Pound.
Unfortunately, the elephant cavalry slowed down Wutugu's advance.
He hesitated whether to take the rattan armor soldiers down with him.
"If you're not coming down, then don't come at all."
Zhang He sneered, ordered the troops to reorganize, and then drew his bow and nocked an arrow at Wutugu on the cliff.
Upon seeing this, Wutugu laughed.
I thought Cao Cao's generals had some amazing skills.
Unexpectedly, they only fired arrows!
Would shooting arrows be effective?
This is shooting arrows from below the cliff towards the top of the cliff. Given the height and distance, how could it be easy to hit the target?
Zhang He seemed to see through Wutugu's disdain, and his eyes instantly filled with a desire for military merit!
When it comes to results, you have to rely on the comparison with your peers.
If the commanders of the rattan armor troops and elephant cavalry were top-tier figures like Cao Cao, Su Yu, or Jia Xu, Zhang He would have chosen to surrender immediately, because there was absolutely no chance of victory!
But Wutugu is like a rough and tough man with many weaknesses!
The arrows were fired in a volley, but almost none of them hit Wutugu or the elephant soldiers and rattan armor soldiers behind him.
The rattan armor soldiers also joined in the Wutugu music, mocking Cao Cao's soldiers for doing futile work.
But suddenly, sparks ignited from the ground.
Just about ten seconds later, the fire rapidly intensified and spread at an extremely terrifying speed!
The ground had been smeared with oil by Cao Cao's soldiers beforehand.
Among the arrows were some flaming arrows, which would ignite upon contact!
If Wutugu had decisively led his rattan armor soldiers to jump off the cliff just now, the chances of this move working would probably be slim.
But Wutugu hesitated, and hesitation leads to defeat!
He lost his best chance to escape.
The rattan armor soldier's physical defense is indeed very strong, but his magical defense is negative!
The towering flames completely blocked the advance of the rattan armor soldiers.
Behind the rattan armor soldiers, the elephant soldiers also began to stir.
Animals are naturally afraid of fire, and elephants are no exception.
Even if they were raised from cubs by the Wutugu, they would still be in disarray at this moment.
The location of the elephant cavalry blocked the retreat route of the rattan armor soldiers.
If they force a retreat, the rattan armor soldiers will be trampled by the elephant soldiers, and the situation will become chaotic.
If we don't retreat, we're just waiting to die!
Wutugu's face was no longer calm and composed.
And he wasn't the Crooked Mouth War God, so he obviously didn't have the ability to show off like the Dragon King's son-in-law.
A sense of despair filled Wutugu's heart.
"Is this Cao Cao's army?"
Wutugu muttered to himself.
At this moment, he finally realized how foolish he had been to come all the way from Wuquan Kingdom!
Why bother getting involved in this mess?
This is just plain stupid!
Suddenly, Zhang He pulled out a megaphone and shouted towards Wutugu on the cliff:
"Wutugu, I'll give you two ways to live!"
"First, retreat immediately! Run as far back as you can!"
"Second, surrender now and then follow my instructions!"
Faced with Zhang He's offer of surrender, Wutugu did not hesitate and immediately chose the first option.
The rattan armor soldiers will never be slaves!
In the chaos, the elephant soldiers trampled and killed some of the rattan armor soldiers.
The person who was most heartbroken upon witnessing this scene was Zhang He, who was below the cliff.
What a pity, these are all excellent prisoners.
Was the first path to survival that Zhang He left for Wutugu truly a path to survival?
Obviously not!
When Wutugu escaped the inferno after suffering heavy losses, he saw a Cao army, led by Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, waiting in full battle array not far away.
"Gongming, I heard that Wen Yuan killed quite a few enemy generals on the battlefield of Hefei?"
Zhao Yun brandished the Dragon Gallant Silver Spear in his hand and asked Xu Huang.
Xu Huang, quick-witted, replied:
"Zilong, are you trying to... surpass Wenyuan?"
"Forget it, I'm not in the mood."
Zhao Yun sighed softly.
He still has too good a temper and his emotions are quite stable.
Suddenly, enraged, Wutugu pointed at Zhao Yun and roared:
"Pretty boy! Get out of my way right now, or I'll twist your head off!"
Wutugu spoke with a very strong accent, but Zhao Yun had traveled all over the country for many years and had encountered all kinds of enemy generals.
To some extent, he could clearly distinguish when the enemy general was using foul language and when he was saying nice things.
Of course, given his deceptively attractive appearance and rather low-key personality.
Most of the enemy generals who didn't know his worth thought he was an easy-to-bully pretty boy and they mostly cursed at him with foul language.
At that moment, Zhao Yun's expression changed drastically at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xu Huang silently mourned for Wutugu.
Mr. Su gave instructions not to kill Wutugu.
But Mr. Su never said that you can't beat Wutugu!
Wutugu, unaware that he had gotten himself into big trouble, suddenly sensed a silver flash rushing toward him!
"Dang!"
The Dragon Gallant Silver Spear slammed heavily into Wutugu's body.
Because elephants are afraid of fire, Wutugu had now become an infantryman.
Therefore, they suddenly found themselves unable to defend themselves against Zhao Yun's surprise attack!
The excruciating pain throughout his body made it almost impossible for Wutugu to stand.
Zhao Yun continued his attack, and despite his fair complexion, he displayed a violent aesthetic.
It was extremely brutal, far more terrifying than the attack methods of Dian Wei and Xu Chu!
Wutugu, a two-meter-tall giant, was beaten black and blue, and tears of helplessness streamed down his face.
Mother! I want to go back to Wuquan Kingdom too, sob sob sob, I'll never come out again!
This is what Wutugu truly thinks.
But how could Zhao Yun possibly let him go?
He skillfully knocked Wutugu unconscious and put him into a sack.
Cao Ying's elephant trainer, an important member of the circus, and King Mulu's future partner, plus one!
