Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 509: Desperate Dian Wei calls off the battle
"The King of Force is the King of Force!"

"Oh no, he succeeded in pretending again. Is there anyone who can stop the Second Master and make him fail in pretending again?"

"Remember it, remember it. I'll say this when I win the ranked match next time."

"Awesome, really awesome. I'll never be able to come up with such pretentious words in my lifetime."

"I tried my best to show off, but facing such a talented player, my previous show-offs seemed like a joke."

"I raise the banner for the King of Force, I raise the banner for the King of Force!"

Guan Yu's words once again ignited the wave of barrage in the live broadcast room. There was no other reason, just because these words were so domineering, and they perfectly interpreted the word "pretentious".

The next moment, Guan Yu twisted his body, and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade spun in the air and smashed down. The power was so great that even gods and demons seemed to retreat three feet away. The huge force bombarded down and hit Dian Wei who was still standing in the same place.

Faced with such a powerful attack, Dian Wei did not retreat at all. He held the two halberds tightly in his hands, and stood in a horse stance, ready to withstand the attack. His pride and the humiliation of losing to Guan Yu did not allow him to make any concessions.

A huge explosion that resounded through the sky was heard, and even the slight vibration could be felt miles away from the battlefield. The tremor began to spread outward with the two people as the center like an earthquake.

After the smoke and dust cleared, Dian Wei was still standing in the same place, but his legs sank deep into the ground due to Guan Yu's tremendous force. Guan Yu had already appeared several feet away from Dian Wei.

Without giving Dian Wei a chance to breathe, Guan Yu dragged his sword forward again. The Green Dragon Crescent Blade slid on the ground, and the weight of the sword itself left a small groove on the ground.

Dian Wei saw Guan Yu attacking again, and he slammed the ground with his double halberds, jumped out, and chopped down with his double halberds at the same time, just blocking Guan Yu's upward slash with his sword.

Before Dian Wei could make any further move, Guan Yu threw a punch, hitting Dian Wei directly in the chest. Dian Wei felt as if he had been hit by a yak, and flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. Before he flew out, Dian Wei raised his leg and kicked Guan Yu in the abdomen, also knocking Guan Yu back dozens of feet away.

Guan Yu took a deep breath, sadly suppressing the sweetness in his mouth and not letting himself show his cowardice.

Dian Wei couldn't do that. After he landed, he lay there, gasping for breath. The blood oozing from the corner of his mouth showed Guan Yu's strength.

Dian Wei, who was holding the double halberds, couldn't help but be secretly frightened. The punch just now was meant to hit his heart. If he hadn't reacted and moved a little, he would have been hit solidly. A punch with such force in the heart would definitely not be able to withstand it even if Dian Wei had the physique of a legendary general, and would definitely be seriously injured.

Fortunately, it was only a minor injury. He took the opportunity to kick Guan Yu, but he saw that Guan Yu didn't seem to be affected, which made him even more panicked.

At the same time, an absurd but extremely realistic thought came to his mind: Could it be that Guan Yu has taken another step on the road to becoming a legendary general?

Guan Yu was the first legendary general, and logically should have gone the furthest on this path, so Dian Wei’s guess was not groundless.

The gap between legendary generals and famous generals is best understood by these legendary generals. I am afraid that players like Gu Rubing and Cao Cao who can see the panel do not understand it as clearly as they do. That is why Dian Wei is afraid. If Guan Yu makes another step forward, he will definitely not be Guan Yu's opponent.

Although it has not been confirmed yet, everything that has been observed so far is reminding Dian Wei that Guan Yu has surpassed him again. Thinking of everything that happened before, Dian Wei felt a chill on his back.

When he was a first-class general, Guan Yu was a famous general. At that time, he was known as the best general under Cao Cao, and Guan Yu was known as the best general under Liu Bei.

The first time he fought with Guan Yu was in Taiyuan City in Bingzhou. He and Xu Chu, who was also a famous general, fought against two of them, but failed to defeat Guan Yu. Instead, they were repelled by Guan Yu and failed to capture Taiyuan City. That time, he was defeated.

From then on, he began to fight everywhere, honing himself, trying to improve his strength, hoping to defeat Guan Yu the next time they fought.

It didn't take long for him to get this opportunity, and they met again in Xudu.

When he and Guan Yu fought in Xu Du, Dian Wei was outnumbered by Guan Yu and other famous generals and first-class generals, and he was not at a disadvantage. That was the second battle between Dian Wei and Guan Yu, and it ended with Dian Wei's great defeat. Even though he joined forces with others, they were unable to stop Guan Yu.

The third time, at the border of Jingzhou, he was responsible for stopping Guan Yu. It was still him and Xu Chu. This time, he made a huge improvement. He was confident that he could defeat Guan Yu together with Xu Chu, and even he himself could be on par with Guan Yu.

However, reality once again shattered him severely. Guan Yu was promoted to a legendary general in the battle, and only one sword strike was enough to seriously injure and kill him. If it weren't for Xiahou Dun bringing back the Tianshan Snow Lotus from the Western Regions, and Hua Tuo's disciple Wu Pu who happened to surrender, he and Xu Chu would have survived by chance, and turned a disaster into a blessing, greatly shortening the distance between them and becoming legendary generals.

After that, he took Master Cao Zhang and four thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and marched straight into the territory of the Xiongnu, wiped out the five major Xiongnu royal courts one by one, and killed countless first-class generals.

Before setting out, Cao Cao told him that as long as he killed enough generals, he could be promoted to a legendary general, but he stubbornly wanted to be promoted through battle and ultimately failed to do so.

Finally, he was promoted to a legendary general. After that, he was eager to try. He felt that he could finally fight with Guan Yu on the same level.

As a result, Guan Yu seemed to have made another step forward. Just now, he was suppressed again. Although he has not been truly defeated yet, the result will not be any different. It is just a matter of time.

For a moment, Dian Wei, a rough man who used to be carefree and didn't care about anything and only knew how to protect Cao Cao and practice martial arts, now fell into deep self-doubt because he felt that he had brought shame to Cao Cao.

Dian Wei was kneeling on the ground, his hands had already loosened the heavy double halberds, his head was buried so deeply that his face could not be seen clearly.

Seeing this scene, Guan Yu stopped attacking. His pride prevented him from launching an attack at this time. He stood quietly, waiting for Dian Wei to stand up again, his eyes full of contempt. If Dian Wei was just like this, then he would not even be qualified to be his opponent.

On the other side, Sun Ce started to get angry after seeing the scene here. I'm fighting desperately here, but you're just kneeling there without moving, or kneeling on both knees. Are you surrendering?
Zhang Fei did not give Sun Jian much time to think. He attacked again, swinging his Zhangba Snake Spear and making a continuous sound of breaking through the air. Sun Jian was dazzled. He was a little puzzled. How could a man who looked like a rough man be so agile with his spear? His every move seemed to have merged with the spear. Every time he attacked, he was able to bypass Sun Jian's defense, forcing him to retreat again and again.

"Xxxx, Dian Wei, what are you doing? Why don't you get up quickly?"

Dian Wei, who was kneeling on the ground in the distance, still hadn't stood up. It seemed that he had fallen into a special state. Although he was not dead, he looked withered.

"Little guy, take care of yourself first."

Seeing that Sun Ce still dared to be distracted, Zhang Fei would certainly not tolerate him. He attacked again with his poisonous spear, leaving a shallow scar on Sun Ce's chest. Although the wound was not serious, it was the first time that Sun Ce was hit by a weapon. This meant that the next battle between Zhang Fei and Sun Ce would only be more intense.

Guan Yu gradually lost his patience and shook his head in disappointment. He walked towards Sun Ce with his sword in hand. If Dian Wei still hadn't woken up by the time he and Zhang Fei teamed up to kill Sun Ce, Guan Yu would not hold back.

When Sun Ce saw Guan Yu walking straight towards him, he really wanted to die. Neither Guan Yu nor Zhang Fei could be dealt with by him alone. Now the two of them were going to deal with him together. Isn't this asking for his life?
He glanced at Dian Wei standing beside him. If Dian Wei had not woken up before Guan Yu joined the battle, he would turn around and leave immediately without any hesitation.

When Guan Yu was only a dozen feet away from him, Sun Ce was ready to turn around and flee, when Dian Wei finally made a sound in the distance.

"Guan Yu, your opponent is me!"

Dian Wei slowly stood up and picked up his double halberds. The sadness in his eyes had long disappeared, replaced by an extremely determined look.

Sun Ce almost burst into tears when he saw Dian Wei finally standing up.

"You finally woke up. I thought you were beaten to death by Guan Yu."

"Can't die."

Dian Wei responded in a muffled voice and patted his head with his hand. The hand holding the heavy halberd seemed to have a lot of weight hitting his head, which made Dian Wei feel much clearer and he let out a breath.

"Guan Yu, let's have a good fight!"

Dian Wei roared, and the decadent Dian Wei just now disappeared. He rushed towards Guan Yu. A gleam of light flashed in Guan Yu's eyes. He originally thought that Dian Wei was a good-for-nothing, but now it seems that he is not bad.

As time went by, the battle in Jiangxia County was nearing its end. Two and a half hours had already passed, but the four famous generals were unable to capture Zhao Yun together, and Zhao Yun had to block their attack alone.

The battle between Huang Zhong and Gan Ning is about to end. Gan Ning, who has resolved his mental problems, and Huang Zhong, who wants to avenge his uncle, are fighting desperately. However, Gan Ning knows in his heart that he cannot defeat Huang Zhong this time.

After he took the medicine, he could have easily dealt with the famous general, but Huang Zhong's Red Blood Sword was too restrained from his black energy, otherwise he would not have been forced into this state.

This can be seen from the time when he dealt with Zhao Yun just now. He was actually able to stop Zhao Yun by himself. You know, Zhao Yun now can be said to be the person who is closest to a legendary general, without a doubt. However, Gan Ning was able to fight with Zhao Yun without losing the upper hand, and subtly maintained a level that could defeat Zhao Yun but would not let Zhao Yun trigger the Desperate Dragon's Fury characteristic.

This might be the easiest way to defeat Zhao Yun. If Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong had not exchanged opponents later, the battle of Jiangxia County might have ended by now.

Seeing that the three hours were getting closer, Gan Ning finally could not sit still anymore. He swung his sword fiercely and ran towards the east without looking back. He had to report to Sun Jian and retreat before three hours, otherwise their losses would reach an unimaginable level.

Sun Jian, who was watching the battle, suddenly saw a rider coming towards him in the distance, which made him frown.

Those soldiers had no intention of stopping him, which showed that they must be his men. At this time, they actually deserted the battlefield, which made Sun Jian a little angry.

When the man came closer, Sun Jian, who was originally a little angry, became confused, because the person who came back was none other than Gan Ning.

If any other general came back, even Zhou Yu, there is a possibility that he would desert the battlefield. But it is absolutely impossible for Gan Ning to do that. If a warmongerer like him deserts the battlefield, then there is no need for them to continue fighting this battle.

Therefore, most of the anger in Sun Jian's heart disappeared, and doubts occupied his mind.

"Xingba, why are you back?"

Sun Jian asked doubtfully, while Gan Ning looked anxious.

"My lord, please quickly order the army to retreat."

"Why?"

"I, the Grand Commander, Gong Fu, have all taken the elixir given by the clan leader. My fighting power will be greatly increased within three hours, but the price is that I will fall into extreme weakness after three hours. Now the three hours are almost up. If we don't let them withdraw, I'm afraid there will be big trouble. Moreover, if we can't capture the city within three hours, if we continue to fight, the effect will be minimal. Please order the troops to withdraw!"

After listening to Gan Ning's words, Sun Jian's expression remained unchanged. He turned and looked at Miao Moqing, his eyes revealing a questioning look. Miao Moqing did not speak, but just nodded, but that was enough.

Sun Jian's face suddenly turned black and he turned around.

"Ming Jin retreats the troops."

Then he turned his horse and left without looking back.

Gan Ning didn't have time to guess what Sun Jian was thinking, and immediately yelled at the messenger beside him.

"Why don't you go and pass on the message? Sound the retreat!"

The messenger didn't dare to say anything and turned and ran to the side.

When Sun Jian left, he was not filled with anger over the failure of the attack on Jiangxia County, but a deep sense of powerlessness.

Under his command were five famous generals, Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Lu Xun. Although Lu Xun was not there, he was replaced by Cao Zhang, whose combat power was higher than Lu Xun. These five generals were unable to defeat even two of the opponents, and they also took Miao Moqing's elixir, which greatly frustrated Sun Jian.

Before the battle began, he had thought that the gap between him and Liu Bei should be almost the same. Even if he was not as good as Liu Bei, he would not be left far behind like before. However, the facts are often not satisfactory. Judging from the combat effectiveness of the generals, the gap between the two sides is not small.

Sun Jian was a little confused. When did the gap between him, Cao Cao and Liu Bei become so huge?

In fact, what Sun Jian didn't know was that the gap between the two sides was not that big. In this battle, Huang Zhong restrained Gan Ning, and Zhao Yun even used his famous general skills and triggered the Dragon's Fury in Desperate Situation, which allowed him to persevere.
