Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2526: Qin Shu stops Ge, Wu Chu confronts

After only three rounds of the battle, Li Cunxiao was surprised to find that Xing Tian's strength was a little stronger than his.

Among the opponents he met, only Li Yuanba was slightly stronger than Xing Tian in terms of strength.

Of course, when the strength reaches the level of Li Cunxiao, strength is no longer the decisive factor in the battle, and the skillful strength, dark strength, and the use of qi are more important.

But in terms of pure strength, Li Yuanba is the worthy number one in the world, even if he breaks a hand, but he is not much stronger than Li Cunxiao Xingtian and others.

In addition to strength, Li Cunxiao discovered that Xingtian's internal and external skills were also extremely powerful.

Compared with Li Cunxiao, who has not yet recovered, Xing Tian's skill is stronger, but he is inferior to Yang Jian.

But in the field of external power?Xing Tian was inferior to Li Cunxiao.

After all, let alone Xingtian, even Xiang Yu, who had already become a great master, was still inferior to Li Cunxiao in terms of external skills.

Li Cunxiao, in the field of external power, is Li Yuanba in the field of power, and is in an absolute dominant position.

By the tenth round of the battle, Li Cunxiao had roughly figured out the details of Xingtian.

Xingtian's strength is not as good as Li Yuanba, his skill is not as good as Yang Jian, his physique is not as good as Li Cunxiao's.

No wonder the opponent was able to squeeze into the fourth seat and beat Li Yuanba and Yang Jian. This ranking was decidedly low for Xing Tian.

Although Li Cunxiao was slightly weaker than Xing Tian in terms of strength and skill, his physique and Astral Qi were more than half stronger than Xing Tian, ​​so his overall combat power was naturally above Xing Tian.

When the battle reached twenty rounds, the balance of victory began to tilt, and Xing Tian gradually fell into the disadvantage.

However, because Li Cunxiao was entangled by Xingtian, the Qin army who boarded the tower was outnumbered. After a tough resistance, he was finally defeated by the crowd tactics. Most of them were beheaded in the tower, and a few were forcibly driven off. city.

Seeing that the soldiers who boarded the tower were almost dead, Li Cunxiao also knew that this siege was a complete failure, and it would not make much sense to continue the attack. After all, it was impossible to break the city.

But if he just retreats like this, all the sacrifices will be in vain, so Li Cunxiao is naturally unwilling to retreat like this, at least he has to wait until Xingtian is severely injured.

Xing Tian's strength is not weak, plus he has the protection of a large army, Li Cunxiao knows that it is unlikely that he will be killed, but it is still certain that he will be severely injured one-on-one, but he does not want to have another Liu Er in Yangping Pass.

Liu Erjian only had twenty rounds, and Xingtian began to fall into a disadvantage. He believed that Li Cunxiao really lived up to his reputation, and then decided to support him and join forces with Xingtian to fight against Li Cunxiao.

Liu Er's route was the same as that of Sun Lingming. He followed the route of both internal and external cultivation, and his external strength was stronger than his internal strength. His overall strength was no weaker than Kong Peng, and he had no obvious weaknesses.

Liu Er of Jiwu 107 and Xing Tian of Jiwu 109 joined forces, and the chemical effect produced is not as simple as one plus one equals two, and the combat power it exerts is not as strong as that of Li Yuanba, Wei Hu, and Gao Siji. , Li Chunfeng four teamed up too much.

Li Cunxiao tried his best and didn't get much advantage, so he took the initiative to retreat. After all, this is the enemy's home court, and it would be meaningless to fight.

Seeing that Xing Tian and Liu Er joined forces to block Li Cunxiao, who was number one in the world, Li Siyuan became more confident in defending Yangping Pass.

After Li Cunxiao suffered setbacks in the first battle, he knew that it would be impossible to capture Yangping Pass without defeating Xingtian and Liu Er.

At this time, although the Qin army slaughtered the Quartet in Longxi, after all, they could not completely occupy the three counties of Longxi, so the support that Li Cunxiao could get was limited.

Li Cunxiao asked Chang'an for help, and sent spies to inquire about intelligence, but learned that Liu Yu's forward army was coming.

At this time, there were only more than [-] defenders in Yangping Pass, and it was already so difficult to attack. After the arrival of the frontier of the Shu army, breaking the city would really be a long way off.

At this time, the siege equipment from the rear had also arrived, but Li Cunxiao did not have the idea of ​​​​attacking again, but Xingtian in the pass took the initiative to challenge Li Cunxiao out of the city. Can Li Cunxiao still refuse?It was just this opportunity to defeat Xingtian again to rub the morale of the defenders in the pass.

In the previous battle of the tower, Xing Tian was obviously defeated, but why would he challenge Li Cunxiao again?
The reason is also very simple. The first battle of the tower was a foot battle, while Xingtian was better at cavalry battle. A setback could not convince him, so he had this second challenge out of the city.

Li Siyuan strongly disagreed with Xingtian's plan to leave the city. In his opinion, he only needed to hold on to Yangping Pass and hand over Yangping Pass to Liu Yu, so he was naturally unwilling to cause trouble.

Who is Ke Xingtian?He was the number one general of Shu Han, and he did not want to submit to Liu Yu willingly. If his temper really came up, even Liu Yu would not listen to him, let alone Li Siyuan's words.

For Xingtian, Liu Yu also loves and hates him. He loves his martial arts and hates him for not being able to completely return to his heart. However, if Xingtian still serves Shuhan instead of defecting like Chen Ping, Fan Kuai, and Cao Can, then he still has a chance to completely accept Xingtian. .

Xing Tian directly ignored Li Siyuan and insisted on going out of the city to challenge Li Cunxiao.

Neither Li Siyuan nor Liu Er could stop him, so they could only send Liu Er and other generals, leading three thousand elites, to accompany Xingtian out of the city to ensure that Xingtian could come safely.

The next day, in front of Yangping Pass, Li Cunxiao also led three thousand soldiers to meet him.

In front of the two armies, Li Cunxiao and Xing Tian rode out. After a lot of spam, the two agreed to a one-on-one duel, and then they officially fought.

It has to be said that Xing Tian dared to challenge twice, he did have his own capital, and his level of cavalry combat was indeed higher than that of foot combat.

When fighting on foot with Li Cunxiao, Xingtian only lasted [-] rounds before falling behind, but in cavalry he was able to fight Li Cunxiao for [-] rounds.

After 150 rounds, although Xing Tian gradually fell into a disadvantage, he could still remain undefeated, but if he had no helper, he would definitely lose if he persisted for [-] rounds at most.

Seeing this, Liu Er resolutely rushed out. Although he was at odds with Xingtian, he couldn't see Xingtian's disobedience to his elder brother, but after all, they all belonged to Shuhan, so naturally, he could see Xingtian defeated by Li Cunxiaozhi. hand.

If Xing Tian, ​​the number one general of Shu Han, was defeated in public by Li Cunxiao, it would definitely hit the morale of the Shu army, and although fighting more with less violated the principle of fairness, at least it would not affect the morale of the army.

For Liu Er's help, Xing Tian was not happy and turned angry. Before the war, he made a one-on-one appointment with Li Cunxiao, but Liu Er intervened in the middle, making him seem like he couldn't afford to lose. letter?

Xing Tian was not someone who couldn't afford to lose, so he was naturally extremely dissatisfied with Liu Er's behavior.

Liu Erming was kind enough to help, but he didn't thank him for his efforts. Xingtian didn't thank him, even if he didn't thank him, he still blamed him, making him not a human being inside or outside, but he didn't regret his decision.

There is a huge difference in national strength between Qin and Shu, and it is cost-effective in Liu Er's eyes to give up his reputation to reduce the losses of Shu.

After listening to Liu Er's words, Xing Tian let go of the grudge in his heart, and no matter what the one-on-one agreement was, he wanted to defeat Li Cunxiao, but it was obviously not that easy.

Xingtian was good at foot combat, and Li Cunxiao was also good at it, and he was even better at riding.

Xing Tian and Liu Er can suppress Li Cunxiao together in a foot-battle, but in a cavalry battle, they can only draw with him.

Just when the three sides were at a stalemate, another general was killed in the Shu army camp. It was Kong Peng who had been defeated by Gongsun Xuanyuan.

Although Kong Peng had the experience of being attacked by Xuanyuan due to his restraint, his overall strength was still very strong, otherwise Liu Yu would not have paid such attention to him.

Xing Tian, ​​Liu Er, and Kong Peng joined forces, and the fighting power that broke out was far more than the four Li Yuanba in the Chang'an War.

Rao is Li Cunxiao, the number one in the world, and he can't stand the alliance of Xing Tian, ​​Liu Er, and Kong Peng.

The four played only ten rounds, and Li Cunxiao fell to the disadvantage.

If he returned to his prime, with Li Cunxiao's strength, he would naturally be able to defeat the alliance of the three, or at least be able to draw with them.

Li Cunxiao knew that it would be a loss if he continued to fight, so he directly ordered the army to attack directly before he was defeated.

The three thousand Qin army and the three thousand Shu army then started a melee outside Yangping Pass.

Li Siyuan originally thought that the [-] elites outside the city could at least hold on until Xing Tian and others defeated Li Cunxiao, but he didn't want to show a one-sided situation after the fight.

The three thousand Qin troops that Li Cunxiao brought out were the ace flying tiger army under his command, and the ordinary elite of the Shu army could not stop it.

Seeing that the army outside the city suffered heavy casualties, they might even be defeated by the Qin army if they continued to fight. Li Cunxiao, who was under the siege of Xingtian's three people, was at a disadvantage, but he did not appear to be defeated.

At this time, there are only two paths for Li Siyuan:

One is to increase troops.

But the number of Qin troops outside the city was far higher than that of the defenders. If he increased his troops, the Qin army would definitely increase too. This was a war of attrition, which was obviously not what Li Siyuan wanted to see.

The second is to retreat, which is also the one that minimizes losses.

Li Siyuan chose the second option, and directly called Jin to withdraw his troops. Although Xing Tian and the three outside the city were unwilling, they could only choose to obey orders. After all, if they stayed outside the city, they would be surrounded by Qin troops.

Xing Tian, ​​Liu Er, and Kong Peng led the army to fight and retreat, while Li Cunxiao led the army to pursue and kill all the way to the gate of the city, beheading [-] Shu troops, but the casualties were less than [-].

In the battle of Yangping Pass, although Li Cunxiao was not defeated, he also exposed his trump card and made the Shu army realize that he was not invincible.

No one can be undefeated forever, and Li Cunxiao is naturally the same;
If Xing Tian and Liu Er join forces, they will be able to tie with Li Cunxiao.

If Xing Tian, ​​Liu Er, and Kong Peng joined forces, Li Cunxiao would definitely lose.

After these two battles, Li Cunxiao was no longer showing his bravery, but commanded the army to attack the city calmly while Liu Yu's army had not yet arrived.

Li Cunxiao mobilized [-] catapults, [-] wells, and [-] crossbows of various types, and divided the [-] army under his command into five groups, and began to siege the city day and night.

Li Cunxiao knew that Yangping Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and that a strong attack would cost too much, so he did not attack by force, but prepared to rely on the benefits of ordnance to consume the defenders in the city little by little.

Li Cunxiao's abacus is very good, but his own commander attributes are not enough.

At that time, Li Cunxiao's commander's attribute was 96, while Li Siyuan's was 98. There was a 2-point difference in commander-in-chief between the two. How could his wishful thinking succeed?
Li Cunxiao continued to attack Yangping Pass for ten days, until Liu Yu's army entered the pass and Wu Qi's reinforcements arrived, but still did not cause major damage to Li Siyuan.

Ying Hao's first reaction after learning about this time was that Li Cunxiao's commander-in-chief was still low.

Li Cunxiao's reaction at Yangpingguan was correct, but he still did not achieve any results. This is the gap in ability.

If he had Bai Qi's commander-in-chief, how could Li Siyuan be able to defend Yangping Pass?

"What's going on at Yangpingguan now?" Ying Hao asked.

"Your Majesty, five generals, Wu Qi, Wang Jian, Long Qie, Li Maozhen, and Fu Cunshen, each led [-] troops, totaling [-] troops, and they have all arrived at Yangping Pass.

The total number of my Daqin army outside Yangping Pass has now reached [-].

Liu Yu also led [-] Shu troops into Yangping Pass. At present, the number of defenders at Yangping Pass is as high as [-], and they are continuing to increase their troops. "Jia Xuhui reported.

Ying Hao nodded and said, "This time the Qin, Shu and Chu Three Kingdoms battles, Yangping Pass is no longer the main battlefield, and the real focus is on the Jingzhou side.

Li Cunxiao and Wu Qi were ordered to stop attacking Yangping Pass by force for the time being, but the army could not withdraw.

In the future, this [-]-strong army will be stationed in Yangping Pass, and will contain most of the Shu State's troops in Hanzhong. "

"promise."

"By the way, Yang Guang has newly acquired Haizhou. In the land of Guanxi, there are no more constraints. I am afraid that he will take advantage of the three kingdoms war between Qin, Shu and Chu to fish in troubled waters and plot against Liangzhou."

At this moment, Ying Hao ordered again: "I immediately ordered Li Jing to be vigilant against Yang Guang, and must not let the Sui army take advantage."

"promise."

With the order of Ying Hao, the two countries of Qin and Shu in Hanzhong temporarily stopped their troops for a truce, but the two countries of Chu and Wu in Jiangxia fought against each other.
