Chapter 272: Confrontation

Five days later, Yongchang County.

"Lord Qiqi, ten miles outside the city, tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers have come to call for battle!" Just when Zhou Fan was discussing things with everyone, Yi Yi's guards outside quickly rushed in and said.

Everyone was shocked, they really didn't expect that before they could make a move, the Southern Barbarian would actually come to the door by themselves.

"That Southern Barbarian is also a little interesting, let's go, let's go and see what is the difference between this Southern Barbarian and that Yue Songyi." Zhou Fan said with a smile, and then strode out.

Everyone agreed in unison, and then hurriedly followed Zhou Fan's footsteps.

Ten miles outside Yongchang County, Zhou Fan left Zhang Song, Zhang Ren and the others led 10,000 soldiers and horses to stay, and he himself personally ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses to meet with this.

Speaking of this, Meng Hu is still a little clever, the place he chose is right behind their Nanban territory, not far behind is the location of the Nanban miasma, in case there is really any danger, as long as they run away, then they will be safe, and the Han people do not dare to approach the scope of this poisonous miasma.

It didn't take long for the army of the Southern Barbarians to appear in front of him, the number of people was not very large, only about forty or fifty thousand, Zhou Fan was very sure that this was definitely not all the strength of the Southern Barbarians, and he wanted to be the vanguard army, and he wanted to explore the strength of Zhou Fan, and he was making calculations.

Speaking of which, there is really no big difference between this Southern Barbarian and that Yue Songyi, but in terms of clothing, it is more stylish, and the leader is almost nine feet tall, five big and three thick, holding a back machete, and at a glance you know that it is not a character to mess with.

Behind them stood a few people in each position, and even the army behind them was particularly distinct, and it could be seen at a glance that they were in their own formations.

After all, this Southern Barbarian army is made up of people from different tribes, not to mention some subtle differences in clothing and clothing, just by looking at their positions. It was also a group, although it was said to be a united army, and they all obeyed his Menghu's orders. But these patriarchs, cave masters and the like are very shrewd, who is really willing to hand over the army to others to be in charge, so although they are not nominally obeying his orders now, they are actually in charge of each of their patriarchs.

And among these people, especially one of the strong men who didn't know that his face was painted with something as colorful as paint, was particularly eye-catching, because his crotch mount was actually a brute elephant, and it was a full circle larger than the one in his own space.

And behind it. It is really shocking that there are seventy or eighty such elephant cavalry.

Zhou Fan subconsciously looked at the past, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, third-level high-level, fortunately, the biggest brute elephant in this head is only third-level high-level, and has not become a fourth-level existence, otherwise there is really no way to take it with this system.

Naturally, the person at the head is the current male barbarian king Meng Hu, and behind him are the patriarchs of various ethnic groups. Zhu Li, Yang Nong, Dong Wu and others are all there, and the one riding a brute elephant. It was the king of Mulu and his own elephant cavalry.

"The one in front is the new Yizhou Governor Zhou Fan?" Meng Hu asked loudly.

However, the next moment, he couldn't help frowning, and he was a little angry, because this Zhou Fan didn't look at himself at all, but kept looking at the direction of King Mulu.

"It's Zhou Fan in front!" Meng Hu asked again. But this time it wasn't so nice.

At this time, Xun You behind him also found that Zhou Fan was a little distracted, and hurriedly called him lightly.

"Exactly, who are you!" Only then did Zhou Fan react. There was also a drop of imperceptible cold sweat left on the corner of his forehead, but fortunately, he reacted, otherwise he would have really been embarrassed.

He was really distracted before, because he had been hunting for those wild elephants.

Elephant cavalry, this is also the cavalry that Zhou Fan has always wanted to form, but he has never succeeded, because he can't find so many elephants at all.

This elephant is a social animal, but it has been living in Nanban, and more south. Although there are elephants in other places in Yizhou, but there are few pitiful, just three or two, it is very likely that they will appear alone when they are lost with the elephant herd, and they are old and about to die, so they chose to leave in order to no longer drag down the elephant herd, and slowly wait for death.

This point of stragglers could not meet Zhou Fan's needs at all, so this plan has been put on hold.

And now Zhou Fan saw eighty elephants at once, what nonsense is that, naturally it is in the bag for safety, and he will catch them first. And the first strike is stronger, and when he captures these eighty elephants, then the southern barbarian elephants will not be a threat to themselves, on the contrary, they can also use them to pit these southern barbarians, why not.

Therefore, since just now, he has been focusing on catching these eighty barbarian elephants, and it is troublesome to catch these third-level high-level animals, and if you want to catch them all, it will take a little more effort. It was precisely for this reason that he was distracted before, and he didn't even hear that Meng Hu calling himself.

Even now, Zhou Fan did not stop his movements, and while talking to Na Menghu, he continued to capture these brute elephants, dual-minded.

The only thing that made Zhou Fan a little dissatisfied was that there were only eighty elephants under the command of the Mulu King, and there was not one of the other animals, poor, he was too poor, at least he had to give him three or five hundred.

But it's no wonder that he Mulu King, this elephant cavalry has less than eighty people, it's not that he Mulu King can't find so many elephants, in the depths of this Nanban, there are a lot of elephants, but this thing is too edible, they Nanban itself is poor, some small tribes can't even feed themselves, where can they get extra forage to feed these elephants.

These eighty elephants are already the limit of his Mulu King, and any more will really not be able to raise them. As for the other animals, he didn't bring the Mulu King this time, after all, those beasts are not as docile as this elephant, and they are easy to control. Although those fierce beasts are said to have been tamed, their ambitions still exist, and if they get angry, even he Mulu King can't suppress them, and if they hurt their own people, it will be worth the loss for so long.

"I am Menghu, the king of the Southern Barbarians!" Meng Hu said loudly, and his tone was quite majestic.

King of the Southern Barbarians! Hearing this name, Zhou Fan is Yilen, in his intelligence, this Nanban has never appeared any Nanban king, until later that Meng Yu appeared, which unified the entire Nanban and became the king of Nanban. Now a Southern Barbarian King suddenly appeared, is it to deal with himself?

As for the name Meng Hu, he naturally knew that the patriarch of the Nanban Meng tribe, as for the relationship between Meng Hu and this Meng Hu, Zhou Fan did not know. (To be continued......)
