Chapter 22: The Fierce Tiger Army vs. the Liao Soldiers (2000)

Liu Fu not only wanted to give it a try, but he was also planning to pull off something big.

At the current rate, a one-star alien beast can only recruit 120 beasts. How long would it take to get a million beasts?

Let alone a million beastmen, we need at least 100,000 beastmen to be invincible and alleviate the crisis of the Later Han Dynasty as soon as possible.

Reputation points are still Liu Fu's most scarce asset to date.

This time, Liu Fu is targeting a pasture in the Liao Kingdom!

When marching and fighting, the worst thing is the lack of military rations, but even scarcer than military rations are warhorses.

Coincidentally, there were several horse ranches near the capital of Liao.

Good horses were scarce in the Central Plains. Apart from the Hetao region producing some decent horses, most of the time warhorses had to be purchased from the Western Regions.

The time required for purchasing and transporting these warhorses is at least six months, and the cost of one warhorse is between 200 and 300 taels of silver, making them extremely valuable.

This is something that money can't always buy.

With this in mind, Liu Fu opened the map marked by the scouts of the Later Han Dynasty and located a horse ranch.

This pasture was located about seventy li outside the north gate of the Liao capital.

There were approximately 8,000 warhorses on the ranch, and about 2,000 Liao soldiers stationed there.

Liu Fu deliberately chose a night.

After passing through the tunnel and heading straight for the North Gate, they finally released the strange beast Qiongqi for the first time!

The behemoth was summoned as soon as...

The wolves that had been roaring on the grassland were so frightened that they immediately fell silent and lay prostrate on the ground at a distance, not daring to make the slightest move.

Other creatures on the grassland were also oppressed by the terrifying aura of Qiongqi, and the once bustling grassland suddenly became unusually quiet.

With his terrifying jumping ability, Liu Fu immediately leaped onto Qiongqi's back.

Grasping the Qiongqi's mane with both hands, under the moonlight, he vanished like an arrow released from a bow in the blink of an eye.

A 5-meter-tall tiger can leap more than 10 meters in one bound, and with a few consecutive leaps, it can cross a distance of 100 meters.

This Qiongqi is even more extraordinary!

With a body 12 meters tall and even more powerful explosive force, it can leap out and appear more than 10 zhang away in one step.

With just a few light leaps, it had already covered three to five hundred meters, a speed even faster than a galloping warhorse.

As they got further and further away from Liaodu, Liu Fu patted Qiongqi's shoulder again.

The Qiongqi immediately sensed Liu Fu's thoughts. Its pair of wings spread out on the ground, and its body shot out with a "whoosh." With another flap of its large wings, it carried Liu Fu into the sky.

Suddenly, a Qiongqi, which looked three parts dragon and seven parts tiger, with dragon whiskers on its mouth and a pair of wings, flew into the sky, carrying Liu Fu and soaring hundreds of meters in the air.

Flying was less strenuous than running on the ground. The distance of 70 li was not short, but Qiongqi flew it incredibly fast, and it arrived in no time.

Upon arriving at this place, Liu Fu immediately launched a general offensive!

It was late at night, and the Liao capital was right next door, guarded by a large number of elite soldiers and generals, so the pastures here were not heavily guarded.

After all, who would be so foolish as to raid a ranch guarded by 2,000 people near the capital of the Liao Kingdom?

That's ridiculous. Putting aside whether the 2,000 Liao soldiers guarding the pasture could defeat them, the Imperial Guards from Liaodu would be a force to be reckoned with if they came out.

But Liu Fu dared to do it, and he was even planning to pull off a big heist.

The 12-meter-long Qiongqi suddenly lunged towards the ranch gate.

That terrifying claw, as thick as a heavy truck, shattered the ranch gate in a single strike.

Immediately, 120 tigers suddenly leaped out of thin air and charged straight into the pasture.

In an instant, the entire Liao army camp was thrown into complete chaos.

The Liao soldiers who were resting were all awakened by a loud noise.

"Something's wrong! We're under attack! Grab your weapons!"

The Liao soldiers scrambled out of their beds. Some of the quicker Liao soldiers, having just dressed and run out of their tents, immediately saw Qiongqi's enormous figure in the darkness and thought they were seeing things.

"My goodness! What is that thing?"

"A monster! This is terrible, it's a monster!"

…………

In the chaotic military camp, before all the Liao soldiers could react, the entire Liao army camp that was blocking the enemy had been razed to the ground by Qiongqi in no time.

No matter what kind of barricades, protective walls, or three layers of wooden fences they were, they were all torn to shreds by Qiongqi's terrifying strength.

Just then, the 120 tigers pounced on them.

"My goodness, how come there are so many tigers?"

"Have the tigers from the Colosseum escaped?"

Before the Liao soldiers could react, the tigers pounced, biting the veins in their necks and bringing the enemies down in the blink of an eye.

The vast majority of Liao soldiers, who were terrified, felt their backs tingling and were drenched in sweat when they saw the large number of tigers suddenly attacking them.

They didn't have time to resist and ran away in fear.

But these tigers were also experts in hunting, and they specifically targeted the vital parts of the Liao soldiers' bodies.

Biting necks to bleed, smashing heads to pieces with tiger paws, tearing open intestines with a single bite, the Liao soldiers' entrails spilled out onto the ground...

These terrified Liao soldiers died tragically in various gruesome ways.

Even the Liao soldiers who were still able to fight were so frightened by the Qiongqi that they retreated in panic.

"Release the arrows!"

"This is our only chance. Shoot them down with arrows, don't let them get close!"

A Liao general with rich experience immediately organized the remaining Liao soldiers to launch a counterattack.

After all, they had 2,000 men, while Liu Fu's Tiger Army only had 120.

It was at this moment that Liu Fu released the prairie ground otter, the silverback gorilla, and the lion king.

Upon seeing the sky filled with arrows, the strange beast Qiongqi immediately flew into the air and flapped its large wings vigorously.

With a flap of its wings, many arrows changed direction. Although a few arrows hit the Qiongqi, they didn't even penetrate its skin, just like a tickle.

Just then, the steppe ground otter had already devoured a military camp, trapping a large number of Liao soldiers inside.

The lions followed the tiger army to pounce on the people, and the silverback gorilla, which was as tall as a two-story building, was so agile that even Liu Fu was amazed.

This guy uprooted a tree as thick as a bucket and used it as a weapon, swinging it at anyone he saw.

The Liao soldiers who were hit by the tree were immediately turned into a pile of meat patties.

In the blink of an eye, the silverback gorilla smashed to death no fewer than dozens of Liao soldiers, then threw the large tree in its hand, smashing dozens of Liao soldiers who were trying to escape to pieces.

Soon after, it produced another large, uprooted tree and joined the battle once more...

120 fierce tigers, plus a Qiongqi, a lion king, a prairie ground otter, and a silverback gorilla, fought against 2,000 Liao soldiers.

The final result was a complete defeat for the Liao army.

At this moment, in the stables of the ranch, the warhorses were so intimidated by the terrifying aura of these monstrous beasts that they dared not even breathe loudly.

Liu Fu brought all the warhorses in the ranch, along with all the stables, hay, and even the troughs for feeding the horses, into the animal breeding ranch.

To prevent these beasts from stealing his warhorse, Liu Fu gave Qiongqi a strict order: it was forbidden to touch anything else he had put in the pasture.

After doing all this, Liu Fu mounted Qiongqi and prepared to return.

However, this time, Liu Fu did not leave a trace of his actions. Instead, he deliberately left a message for the Liao people on a white cloth:

"He never changed his name or surname, he was Liu, the prince of the Later Han Dynasty."

After leaving behind the written message on the white cloth, Liu Fu nodded and rode Qiongqi to the north gate of Liaodu with great satisfaction, then secretly sneaked back to his villa.

When the Liao emperor holds court tomorrow morning, there will be another small shock...
