Chapter 2492 The Death of Li Shimin (Part 2)
Chapter 2488: Death of Li Shimin (Part 2)
As soon as Master Shang saw Li Cunxiao, he no longer cared about his injuries and activated his strongest combat power. He was afraid that he would not be able to activate it if he didn't hurry up.
Li Cunxiao didn't pay attention to Master Shang and his disciples who were waiting for him. Instead, his eyes fell on the pile of corpses beside him.
Obviously, these are the corpses of Xiliang generals, and now they all died tragically in the hands of Master Shang and his disciples.
Originally Li Cunxiao wanted to capture Master Shang and his disciples alive. After all, Master Shang and his disciples were not weak at all. If they could be subdued, they would be good helpers.
Seeing that so many surrendered generals were killed by Master Shang and his disciples, Li Cunxiao gave up the idea of capturing Master Shang and his disciples alive. After all, the number of surrendered generals this time was quite large.
Tens of thousands of Li Tang's surrendered troops and dozens of distant generals in Chang'an City were all headed by the Xiliang faction. However, Master Shang and his disciples killed so many Xiliang surrendered generals, which completely offended the original Xiliang faction.
If we still capture him alive, wouldn't we be asking for trouble and making the surrendering generals dissatisfied?
“Master Shang, I, Li Cunxiao, take your life.”
After saying this, Li Cunxiao raised the magic weapon in his right hand, and King Yu was instantly enveloped in golden inner energy.
“Take the move, Biyou’s eighteen moves, the seventh move, Biluo Huangquan.”
This seemingly simple blow actually contained murderous intent, blocking all retreat options for Master Shang and his disciples.
【Ding dong, Li Cunxiao activates the skill ‘God’, with force +6+5+5+5, and ‘break the city’ activates force +6;
Li Cunxiao: Basic force is 108 (not restored), King Yu, Seven-Kill Overlord Spear +1, Flame Horse +1, current force has increased to 137; ]
Master Shang and his disciples can only fully activate their skills when they are in a life-or-death crisis, but Li Cunxiao can fully activate his skills at any time.
Perfect control of one's own power is only one of the great master's abilities.
It is a pity that Li Cun Xiaokong has the realm of a grand master, but has not recovered the power of a grand master, otherwise his combat power will be even stronger.
Looking at Li Cunxiao, who was approaching quickly and with overwhelming momentum, Master Shang and his disciples' faces turned pale.
He instinctively felt the crisis of life and death, and subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but the energy around his body was locked and there was no way to avoid it, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
“Li Cunxiao, come on, no matter how strong you are, I, Master and Disciple, are not afraid of you.”
Master Shang and his disciples frowned, veins popped out on their foreheads, their muscles tightened, and they roared hysterically.
【Ding dong, master and apprentice Shang's skill 'Death Fight' effect 2 is activated. When in a desperate situation, the force is +3, and the combat power of all soldiers within a hundred meters around him is doubled.
The current strength of Master Shang and Disciple has increased to 125;】
【Ding dong, Master Shang and his disciples have exceeded their own limits, and their force is permanently +1. The base force is 105, and the current force has been increased to 126. 】
When Master Shang and his disciples were in their prime, they could compete with the God of War, but now, stimulated by the life and death crisis, he actually broke through his own limits, broke through before the battle, and truly possessed the combat power of the God of War.
But facing Li Cunxiao, who is number one in the world, what difference does it make whether he makes a breakthrough or not? There is still a full 11 points difference in force between Li Cunxiao and Li Cunxiao.
nail…
After a loud noise, the two horses staggered.
Li Cunxiao did not suffer any damage, but Master Shang and his apprentice were not only missing the spear in their hands, but there was also a blood hole the size of a head on his chest.
Obviously, he was directly defeated by Li Cunxiao in the previous fight.
“So fast, poof…”
After Master Shang spit out a large mouthful of blood, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and then he fell off the horse and died on the spot.
Master Shang, who ranked tenth among the Eighteen Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, had just broken through and become a war-god-level warrior. He was killed by Li Cunxiao with just one move. His death was worthless.
You must know that the God of War is not a cabbage. Without the emergence of super generals, the God of War is already recognized as the strongest combat power. Even if he faces a great master, he can still compete with him.
Although Li Cunxiao is the most powerful general in the world, he obviously does not have the strength to kill the God of War in an instant before he fully recovers his skills.
Even though Master Shang and his disciples have just made a breakthrough, their combat power is still at the God of War level. Facing Li Cunxiao, who is not in his prime, even if he is killed in battle, he should stick to a dozen moves, so that he will not be killed instantly by one move.
The main reason why Master Shang was killed instantly with one move was because his injuries had not healed. The previous battle had aggravated his injuries and made his condition worse, so he was killed instantly by Li Cunxiao with one move.
Looking at the bodies of Master Shang and his apprentice, Li Cunxiao's eyes were full of surprise and regret. He obviously didn't expect that the opponent could break through in the face of him. If he could survive, his future achievements should be even higher. Unfortunately, he was on the wrong team and ended up dying. end.
“General Li Cunxiao, long time no see.” Hua Xiong clasped his fists and saluted.
After seeing the person coming, Li Cunxiao was startled at first. He obviously did not recognize the person. After a moment of reflection, he suddenly showed a look of surprise and said subconsciously: "Hua Xiong, it turns out you are still alive."
…”
Hua Xiong also looked embarrassed when he heard this.
He has been in the military for many years. Although his record is not strong, his seniority makes him a powerful and famous general.
But not only did Li Cunxiao almost forget about himself, he even thought that his opinions were dead.
This is obviously because his strength is too weak and he did not leave much impression on Li Cunxiao, which is why such a misunderstanding was caused.
Is Hua Xiong weak?
In the eyes of most people, they are obviously not weak.
But in Li Cunxiao's eyes, that was too weak.
After all, it was only a matter of one move for him to kill Master Shang and his disciples, while Hua Xiong and nine generals could barely compete with Master Shang and his disciples. Therefore, Hua Xiong was nothing more than a matter of one shot in Li Cunxiao's eyes.
Li Cunxiao obviously realized that what he just said was a bit rude, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "Since General Hua has voluntarily returned to Qin, we will be comrades in arms from now on. Master Shang's yellow-maned horse will be given to General Hua with flowers and Buddhas." Bar."
Hearing this, Hua Xiong was overjoyed. He had always wanted a thousand-mile horse, but unfortunately horses were expensive and unavailable, and he had never gotten what he wanted. He didn't want Li Cunxiao to give him one just now when he surrendered to the Qin Dynasty.
“Thank you, general, for the gift of the horse.”
Having said that, Hua Xiong got on the famous horse with a joyful expression on his face, no longer feeling the embarrassment he felt before.
Li Cunxiao also picked up the furnace gun of Master Shang and his apprentice, and peeled off the Yeming helmet and the seven-feather armor from the corpse of Master Shang. After all, these are famous artifacts worth tens of thousands of gold, but have no market price. ah.
Master Shang and his disciples are also known as the "Four Treasures Generals", and the name "Four Treasures" comes from these equipments.
The Furnace Spear and Ye Ming Helmet are still intact. Although the breastplate of the Seven Feathers Armor has been shattered by Li Cunxiao, it is obviously not difficult to repair this treasured armor with Da Qin's forging skills.
Li Cunxiao was the founding Wuhou of the Qin Dynasty, and his family owned thousands of acres of fertile land. Naturally, he could not be short of money, and his equipment was also top-notch. The equipment of Master Shang and his disciples were obviously of no use to him.
However, Li Cunxiao doesn’t need it, but it can be used as a gift or as a family heirloom to be passed on to his sons and descendants.
Li Cunxiao did not have the habit of licking bags before, so he also missed out on many priceless items. He regretted this, so he will develop a good habit of licking bags in the future.
After handing over all the famous weapons of the three generals to the soldiers, Li Cunxiao immediately dressed up and fought again. After several repeated attacks, he defeated the Tang army at the north gate and defeated them. They no longer dared to resist and knelt down to beg for surrender.
“Where is your general?” Li Cunxiao asked as he surrendered his troops.
"General, as soon as you entered the city, General Yuwen ran away. We don't know where he went." "Humph, this Yuwentai can really run."
Hua Xiong snorted with an unhappy look on his face, then came to Li Cunxiao and said: "The North Gate has been completely controlled, what should we do next?"
Seeing this, Li Cunxiao asked with a smile: "Didn't Ban Chao tell you the action plan after seizing the city gate?"
"Of course I have said it, but after you, the general, enter the city, the person in charge of Da Qin in Chang'an is no longer Ban Chao, but you, the general. We will naturally obey the general's orders."
Hua Xiong said calmly, as if it was a matter of course.
Ban Chao's official position and qualifications are still too low after all.
Only when Li Cunxiao is away can he become the backbone. Once Li Cunxiao enters the city, the person in charge of Da Qin in Chang'an will naturally be Li Cunxiao.
Whether it was the generals who surrendered to the Qin Dynasty or the spies such as Yu Huatian, they could only listen to Li Cunxiao.
Li Cunxiao burst out laughing when he heard this, but he did not act arbitrarily this time.
When he was at Hangu Pass before, he acted willfully once, and he paid a heavy price for it.
Hangu Pass fell, and the Tang army invaded Sizhou. The Qin Dynasty killed and injured hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians.
Li Cunxiao was enough to suffer such a loss once, but he didn't want to experience it a second time, so he decided to act according to the plan and prepare to lead Hua Xiong's troops to kill Tang Gongfu.
In the previous battle at Hangu Pass, Li Cunxiao had three opportunities to kill Li Shimin, but Li Shimin escaped each time. This incident has almost become his inner demon. This time, he cannot let Li Shimin go no matter what. .
Li Cunxiao led Hua Xiong to attack the Tang Dynasty, but they were ambushed by the Tang army in the streets, and the person who set up the ambush was Yu Wentai.
When Yu Wentai saw Li Cunxiao entering the city, he guessed that the north gate could not be defended, so he decisively abandoned half of his troops, fled with more than a thousand people, and set up an ambush at the necessary passage, intending to use street fighting to delay time.
The Tang soldiers who were ambushing on the roof fired arrows one after another. Although they did not cause any damage to Li Cunxiao, they killed many surrendering troops.
Seeing this, Li Cunxiao no longer cared about preserving his skills. He pulled out the Qingping Sword from his waist and slashed out a half-moon-shaped trap sword energy, which directly overturned the roof of the row on the left, and the crossbowmen who were ambushing on the roof fell down. Buried under rubble.
Li Cunxiao then swung his sword and slashed at the roof on the right. Although this move eliminated many crossbowmen, it was impossible to knock down the roofs of the entire street.
Seeing this situation, Li Cunxiao asked Hua Xiong to command the army for street fighting, while he himself rushed into the enemy's army alone, preparing to kill the opponent's general.
Li Cunxiao killed several Tang army princes, but still could not find the whereabouts of Yuwentai. He had actually escaped back to the Tang government at this time.
“My lord, that guy Li Cunxiao entered the city, and General Shang Shi and his disciples were also killed by him. The north of the city has been completely occupied by Hua Xiong’s rebels.
Li Cunxiao's rebels were advancing towards Tang Gong's mansion. Although the general set up an ambush along the street, they would certainly not be able to stop Li Cunxiao for long. "Yu Wentai reported anxiously.
“What? Li Cunxiao has entered the city?”
After hearing Li Cunxiao's name, Li Shimin's head shrank immediately and he stood up subconsciously.
In the battle at Hangu Pass, he was clearly surrounded by a hundred thousand troops, but he was still chased by Li Cunxiao with no way out, and he almost died at the hands of Li Cunxiao three times, so that for a long time after that, he , I have nightmares about Li Cunxiao every day. These three words Li Cunxiao have almost become Li Shimin’s nightmare.
Li Shimin was frightened by the news that Li Cunxiao had entered the city. He said in a panic: "Li Cunxiao has entered the city, what should we do?
At Hangu Pass, Yuan Ba and Yang Jian joined forces, but neither was his opponent.
Now that Yang Jian is in Ba Ling, Yuan Ba has lost another hand, and his strength is not as good as before. No one in Chang'an City can stop him. "
Seeing how panicked Li Shimin was, Jiang Shang quickly stood up and said comfortingly: "Mr. Tang, when Li Yuanba and Yang Jian joined forces, they couldn't stop Li Cunxiao. It was because Li Cunxiao burned his internal energy after breaking through the Grand Master, and burned the skills he had practiced hard for many years to the ground. Only in a moment can he possess such great strength.
It has only been two years now. No matter how talented Li Cunxiao is, his skill cannot be restored to that of a great master. Naturally, it is impossible for him to burn his inner energy for the second time.
So if we gather Li Yuanba and Wei Hu together, plus General Gao Siji, who just broke through, and the great master Li Chunfeng, we should be able to stop Li Cunxiao. "
Li Shimin was startled, but then he realized why he had ignored Li Cunxiao's burning of internal energy.
Li Cunxiao has not fully recovered yet, so what is there to fear?
At this thought, the fear in Li Shimin's heart decreased a lot.
Jiang Shangze added: "Li Cunxiao came straight to Tang Gong's mansion. It will no longer be safe here soon. Please ask Tang Gong to move to Weiyang Palace and command the ministries in the palace to expel the rebels. Li Cunxiao will remain there The rebels returned after being driven out.”
Jiang Shang did not talk about suppressing it, because he also knew that with Li Cunxiao's presence, it was impossible to completely suppress them, and the only way to go was to drive them out of Chang'an.
"good."
Li Shimin nodded, and then asked to his left and right: "How is the situation over at Yuanba?"
“Reporting to my lord, Li Yuanba has killed the rebel general Zhang Shigui, and Zhang Shigui’s third son Zhang Zhibao and his son-in-law He Zongxian have also been killed by General Wei Hu.
Although these three thieves were dead, Zhang Shigui's troops were leaderless and were quickly defeated by General Li Yuanba. However, there were still many Zhang Shigui's men who were still resisting.
However, I believe that with General Li Yuanba's ability, he will be able to completely suppress the Ximen rebellion soon and go to support Nanmen. "
After hearing this, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief. His younger brother Yuanba was more reliable.
“Tell Yuanba and Wei Hu not to go to support the south gate and come over immediately to deal with Li Cunxiao. It’s useless to recapture all four gates unless Li Cunxiao is defeated.” Li Shimin ordered.
)
“Li Chunfeng, where is Gao Siji?”
“The subordinate is here.”
The two of them responded in unison.
“The two of you stay in Tang Gong’s Mansion, and when Li Yuanba and Wei Hu return, the four of you work together to stop Li Cunxiao.
Don't be afraid. Li Cunxiao has burned his energy in two years and has not yet recovered. With the strength of the four of you, you will definitely be able to defeat him if you join forces. "
)
Subsequently, under the protection of soldiers, Li Shimin fled to Weiyang Palace.
Along the way, Li Shimin's face was livid. He never expected that he would be forced to this extent by the rebels on his own ground.
When the carriage passed the imperial city and was about to enter the palace, Li Shimin suddenly felt that this place looked familiar, so he asked, "Where is this place?"
“Reporting to my lord, this is Xuanwu Gate. As long as you pass through Xuanwu Gate, you will reach Weiyang Palace.”
Xuanwumen?
Li Shimin was struck by lightning. This is where he ambushed Yang Jian.
Li Shimin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and the next moment...
【Ding dong, Li Shimin’s skill ‘God’s Blessing’ is activated. 】
