Chapter 1800: Return to the city
After Xiang Yu, Li Shimin personally helped Li Cunxiao break through to the Grand Master. This was naturally a huge blow to him, so he began to comfort himself. Only in this way could he get out of it.
However, Li Shimin seems to have forgotten one thing, that is, when he first dealt with Xiang Yu, even if the allied forces of the princes deployed their best troops, they still paid a heavy price.
Li Cunxiao is not inferior to Xiang Yu. Both of them are great masters of the double martial arts method, and his external martial arts is stronger than Xiang Yu. Now that he breaks through and becomes a grand master, he will naturally not be weaker than Xiang Yu at the beginning.
So, if you look at the price paid when besieging Xiang Yu, you will know that the current Li Tang may not be able to bear the price he has to pay to get rid of Li Cunxiao, who has become a great master.
On the battlefield, with Li Cunxiao's breakthrough and becoming the Grand Master, the battle situation changed again.
Li Cunxiao, who had not yet broken through the Grand Master, was at an absolute disadvantage when facing the combination of Li Yuanba and Yang Jian. Only by risking his life in fighting could he have a chance.
However, after breaking through the Grand Master, although Li Cunxiao was not completely transformed, the improvement in his strength was still very large. Facing the flanking attack of Li Yuanba and Yang Jian, he was not at a disadvantage with one against two.
Of course, if you want to defeat Yang Jian and Li Yuanba, even if Li Cunxiao breaks through the Grand Master, he still can't do it.
Li Yuanba and Yang Jian are not ordinary generals. They both have the ability to kill great masters alone. Compared with Li Cunxiao before he broke through, they are only weaker than Li Cunxiao.
After the breakthrough, Li Cunxiao was able to draw a tie with the two of them on his own. This was already very rare. It was basically impossible to win.
Yang Jian was a little reluctant to join forces with Li Yuanba and kill Li Cunxiao with the strength of the two of them at first. He felt that Li Cunxiao was a hero, and he should be dealt with openly and unfairly, and should not use such unreasonable methods.
Under Li Kui's persuasion, although Yang Jian accepted the plan, he still felt ashamed.
What Yang Jian never expected was that his cooperation with Li Yuanba not only failed to kill Li Cunxiao, but actually forced Li Cunxiao to break through before the battle.
At this time, Yang Jian's heart was complicated. He admired Li Cunxiao for resisting the pressure and was able to break through, but at the same time, he was unwilling to accept the growing gap between him and Li Cunxiao.
Yang Jian represents not only himself, but also the Taoist Yuqing lineage, while Li Cunxiao represents the Shangqing lineage.
The two factions of Yuqing and Shangqing are opposed to each other. Yuqing has never lost to Shangqing before, but in the confrontation between this generation of young disciples, the Shangqing lineage with Li Cunxiao has obviously defeated the Yuqing lineage.
“The disciple has brought shame on the master.”
At this thought, Yang Jian's eyes were full of determination, and he mobilized his whole body's strength in his hands, forming a partial Gangqi posture.
This is the rhythm of breaking through to a half-step grand master in the face of battle!
[Ding dong, Yang Jian teamed up with Li Yuanba to tie with the world's best general Li Cunxiao, and broke through the limit before the battle. The basic force is permanently +1. The current five dimensions: Commander 97, Force 109 (+1), Intelligence 87, Politics 78, Charisma 99 ;]
Li Cunxiao was immersed in the joy of breaking through to the Grand Master, but found that Yang Jian had also broken through to the Half-Grand Master before the battle, and his fear of Yang Jian suddenly reached its peak, even surpassing Li Yuanba.
In Li Cunxiao's view, although Li Yuanba's brain was cured, although he could break through to the grand master level, it was almost impossible to become a grand master. However, Yang Jian could break through in a duel with him. With this potential, he could not break through to the grand master level. It's just a matter of time.
"Yang Jian is worthy of being the contemporary successor of Yuqing. His threat is even greater than that of Li Yuanba. If he is not eliminated early, he will become a great master sooner or later."
Although Li Cunxiao wanted to get rid of Yang Jian, it is clear that he is not yet able to do so.
Even if Li Cunxiao breaks through the Grand Master and his combat power increases dramatically with the blessing of the body-protecting Qi, he still cannot win against the combination of the second and third most powerful generals in the world. After realizing that he could not win, Li Cunxiao planned to run away.
Li Cunxiao wanted to run away before but couldn't, but now if Li Cunxiao wants to run away, even if Li Yuanba and Yang Jian join forces, they can't stop him.
“I’ll take your lives next time.”
After saying these harsh words, Li Cunxiao fought back the two men with all his strength, then urged his horse to turn around and run away. The direction he ran in was exactly where Gongsun Yan was.
“Li Cunxiao is leaving.”
Seeing this urgency, Yang Jian and Li Yuanba quickly rode their horses to pursue, but before they could pursue them a few steps, Li Cunxiao in front suddenly turned around, waved Yu Wangshan and sent out two Gangqi air blades, which struck Yang Jian and Li Yuanba behind. Although it is impossible to hurt them, it is still possible to slow them down.
Gongsun Yan originally came to rush into the formation to rescue Li Cunxiao, but the phalanx arranged by Li Shimin himself was obviously not that easy to break through. Even if the Flying Tiger Army with extraordinary combat power took action, it would not be able to break into Li Cunxiao's position in a short time. .
Gongsun Yan was thinking about changing his tactics, but he didn't expect that Li Cunxiao would break through and become a grand master before the battle. Later, he got rid of Li Yuanba and Yang Jian, and was breaking out of the siege of the Tang army alone. Obviously, he did not need to save himself.
After seeing this scene, Gongsun Yan was overjoyed and decisively ordered: "Retreat, quickly retreat to Hangu Pass."
After the breakthrough, Li Cunxiao was able to fight out on his own. Naturally, the Flying Tiger Army no longer needed to rush to the rescue, so they all retreated towards the city gate.
Seeing that the generals and soldiers who were out were about to return to the city, the garrison at Hangu Pass immediately opened the city gate. As soon as the city gate was opened, Yu Juluo, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, immediately led the Tang army to attack the city.
However, Gongsun Yan was also prepared and deployed a heavy army at the city gate in advance to prevent the Tang army from taking advantage of this opportunity to seize Hangu Pass.
As soon as Yujuluo led the cavalry into the city gate, extremely dense arrows were fired from him, and most of the hundreds of Tang army cavalry were killed in an instant.
The Qin army's arrow rain was too dense. Coupled with the small and crowded city gate, Yu Juluo's cavalry formation was simply a living target and it was impossible to rush through.
After Yugurao knocked away the arrow with his sword, he led the remaining cavalry out of the city gate, and then shouted: "Put up your shield, put up your shield."
The Tang army stepped forward with steel shields in hand, and then advanced steadily. No matter how hard the Qin army's powerful crossbows fired, they could not penetrate the steel shield.
Soon, under the command of Yu Juluo, the Tang army invaded Hangu Pass and started a melee with the Qin army at the gate of the city.
For a time, neither side could do anything. It was not until the Feihu Army came back that the Tang Army fell below again.
Li Shimin sent an army to intercept the Feihu Army, but was unable to stop it. In the end, he let Gongsun Yan lead the Feihu Army to fight back.
