Chapter 2564 Zhang Dingbian, the most powerful general in the late Yuan Dynasty
Chapter 2560: Zhang Dingbian, the most powerful general in the late Yuan Dynasty
After escaping back to the city, Liu Zheng held back his surging blood and apologized to Kublai Khan: "Your Majesty, the general is incompetent and failed to defeat Yang Qilang."
However, Kublai Khan helped Liu Zheng up and said with relief: "The general defeated Xu Huang and Yang Erlang in a row, which greatly boosted the morale of our army. It was only because he was exhausted from the wheel battle that he was defeated by Yang Qilang.
Although the general is defeated, he is still honored, so why is he guilty? "
Liu Zheng was also moved by Kublai Khan's words, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, next time we fight against Yang Qilang, the last general will win, even if he makes some breakthroughs."
Three days later, Liu Zheng returned to his peak condition and went out to fight Yang Qilang again, and Yang Qilang accepted the fight as promised.
Although Yang Qilang broke his own bottleneck due to the previous battle and raised his base to 104, reaching the level of the peak divine general, he was just entering the peak divine general level for the first time.
Liu Zhengcai has been a peak general since he was born. He can draw even against the God of War. He is the best among the peak generals.
Compared to Yang Qilang's Liu Zheng, he is obviously inferior in terms of background, but with the magic gun in his hand and his indomitable momentum, it will not be easy for Liu Zheng to defeat him.
In this battle, the two fought for a whole day and night, and fought more than 300 rounds. They fought until their horses were exhausted. The two sides changed their horses and continued to fight, but they still could not distinguish their identities.
In the end, because Yang Qilang's internal strength was exhausted first and his physical strength was low, his marksmanship showed flaws. He was severely wounded by Liu Zheng's sword, but he was defeated by Liu Zheng.
Although Liu Zheng defeated Yang Qilang, he himself was not feeling well. Eighty-nine percent of his internal strength was consumed, and there was not much physical strength left, so he naturally did not dare to continue to show off his cruelty.
Three days later, the Qin army once again sent a general to fight, but this time it was not Yang Qilang, but Zhang Dingbian.
The reason why Zhang Liao sent Zhang Dingbian instead of Lu Bu was naturally because Lu Bu was too famous. If he really sent him to fight, Kublai Khan would definitely not dare to fight, so it was better to send Zhang Dingbian, who was not famous.
Zhang Dingbian is known as the most powerful general in the late Yuan Dynasty. He has defeated Zhu Yuanzhang many times, and in the water battle of Poyang Lake, he almost captured and killed Zhu Yuanzhang out of a million soldiers. The peak of military commanders in this period.
Zhang Dingbian's basic martial arts is as high as 106. After he was born, he was implanted into Zhang Liao's cousin. After joining the Bingzhou Army system, he also made many military exploits. He led more than a thousand cavalry many times to defeat the Yuanmeng who wandered in the northern border. Iron cavalry.
However, in the Qin Dynasty where there were so many powerful generals, even Zhang Dingbian, who was number one in the late Yuan Dynasty, was still overwhelmed by the founding generals such as Li Cunxiao and Jiang Song, and he was never able to fully develop his reputation.
Zhang Liao was well aware of the strength of Zhang Dingbian. As the leader of the army this time, he naturally wanted to give his cousin a chance to express himself.
Seeing that it was Zhang Dingbian who came to challenge this time, Kublai Khan had heard of this person's reputation. After all, Zhang Dingbian had caused a lot of trouble to Yuan Meng, but he did not think that Zhang Dingbian would be Liu Zheng's opponent. .
Liu Zheng, on the other hand, only glanced at Zhang Dingbian, and his face was filled with solemnity.
Just from the aura Zhang Dingbian exuded, Liu Zheng knew that Zhang Dingbian's skill was stronger than Yang Qilang's, even better than his own, but he would not avoid fighting because of this.
After all, there are too many factors that determine victory or defeat in a battle. Skill is only a part of weighing combat power. Experience and willpower are equally important.
In addition, Liu Zheng has been stuck at the peak of the divine general for many years. If he wants to break through to the next level, besides spending a lot of time and hard work, he can only compete with the same level, or even stronger than himself. Fight against each other and rely on pressure to break your own bottleneck.
The battle with Yang Qilang three days ago had loosened Liu Zheng's bottleneck a little, but he was still far from a breakthrough.
The pressure that Yang Qilang brought to Liu Zheng was far from enough to support him to break through, and Zhang Dingbian might be able to, so it was naturally impossible for him to avoid fighting.
Liu Zheng knew that Zhang Dingbian might be stronger than him, so he couldn't recklessly go into battle alone, so he brought along his friends Liu Bolin, Sun Yanyu, Shi Bingzhi and Wang Shixian.
Zhang Dingbian only brought five hundred horses to challenge him. Seeing that there were as many as a thousand people following Liu Zheng out of the city, he couldn't help but mocked: "Liu Zheng, you should be cautious."
Liu Zheng was not angry and said calmly: "Be careful and you won't make a big mistake."
"snort."
Zhang Dingbian snorted coldly and asked, "I heard that you are a member of the Han Dynasty and were once a general of the Northern Han Dynasty?"
Liu Zheng couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and asked: "What do you want to say?"
Zhang Dingbian sneered: "It's nothing, I just feel a little unworthy for Liu Che.
Liu Che can be regarded as an upright man. He would rather subjugate his country than cooperate with the Manchu aliens. In order to save you people, he would not hesitate to commit suicide for his country.
It was a good thing that Liu Zheng, as a member of the Han clan, actually surrendered to Yuan and Meng.
If Liu Che knew that the people he risked his life to protect were actually a group of traitors, he would not be able to rest in peace even if he died. "
"you you…"
Liu Zheng was so angry that he couldn't speak. In fact, he had heard such words countless times, but now he still felt extremely heartbroken when he heard them.
Liu Bolin, who was also a member of the Han clan, saw that Liu Zheng was angered by Zhang Dingbian, and hurriedly reminded him: "Don't listen to Zhang Dingbian, he just wants to anger you."
Zhang Dingbian smiled even brighter and said, "Why, what is wrong with what I said? As a member of the Han clan, but you seek refuge with the aliens on the grassland, aren't you still a traitor?"
Liu Bolin was also speechless. After all, the dispute between Qin and Han was an internal struggle among the Han people. Even if the Qin Dynasty restored the country and overthrew the Han, it would still recognize the Han's former orthodox status and identify itself as a Han.
As for him and Liu Zheng, as clan members of the Han Dynasty, they defected to the foreign Yuan Meng. They were traitors.
This is a fact that cannot be changed no matter how much you argue.
"you…"
Liu Bolin wanted to quibble again, but was stopped by Liu Zheng.
"That's enough, there's no need to argue. As long as the Han Dynasty can restore the country, it doesn't matter if we remain infamy for thousands of years."
After speaking, Liu Zheng ignored Liu Bolin. When he looked at Zhang Dingbian again, his eyes had returned to calmness and he said calmly: "Do you only engage in verbal disputes?"
Zhang Dingbian laughed: "Haha, you have obviously betrayed the country and become a traitor, but you don't even have the slightest sense of shame. The only way for a traitor like you to atone for your sins is to die. Take it."
“Well come, kill.”
Seeing Zhang Dingbian approaching with great force, Liu Zheng roared angrily, grabbed his sword and galloped over to kill him. 【Ding dong, Zhang Dingbian activates the skill ‘God of Swords’, with force +4, basic force 106, blue sky hook sickle +1, green brocade jade +1, current force increased to 112. 】
Zhang Dingbian was born with a blank slate. He had neither magic soldiers nor famous horses. The Qingtian Hook sickle he is holding and the famous horse Qing Jinfei he is riding on were lent to him by Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao is now the commander-in-chief of an army and has few opportunities to go into battle in person, so he lends weapons and horses to his cousin.
[Ding dong, Liu Zheng’s skill ‘Sword God’ is activated, force +4, basic force 104, Canglang Daguan Dao +1, sweaty BMW +1, current force increased to 110. 】
Liu Zheng was actually a blank slate after he was born. Kublai Khan saw that he and Yang Qilang were defeated until they were exhausted and their weapons broke, so Kublai Khan equipped him with the magic weapon BMW after the war.
nail…
After the two swords slashed at each other, they made a fierce metallic roar, and then collided one after another. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged dozens of moves and struck each other dozens of times.
Until the two horses were completely staggered, the two generals stopped at the same time with a tacit understanding.
Liu Zheng turned his horse's head, his right hand holding the sword trembling slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief. He simply couldn't believe that Zhang Dingbian's internal strength could be so strong.
In just one round, Liu Zheng realized the gap between himself and Zhang Dingbian, and thought to himself: "This person is invincible."
Although Liu Zheng knew that Zhang Dingbian was stronger than him, he would not admit defeat. Instead, he changed his style of play and was no longer in a head-on confrontation with Zhang Dingbian, but was prepared to rely on experience to win.
Ten rounds later, although Liu Zheng was slightly at a disadvantage, he still had full stamina and did not show any signs of defeat.
Fifteen rounds later, Zhang Dingbian also changed his style of play and began to attack wildly without any rush, forcing Liu Zheng to increase his power output. However, it was still difficult to regain the decline and began to gradually fall into a disadvantage.
On the city tower, Kublai Khan saw that Liu Zheng, who had defeated Xu Huang, Yang Erlang, and Yang Qilang one after another, was actually suppressed and beaten by the unknown Zhang Dingbian, and his face was naturally full of disbelief.
“This Zhang Dingbian is so powerful, but he is just a partial general. Da Qin is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.”
Kublai Khan muttered to himself somewhat bitterly.
Liu Zheng was able to draw with Zhebie, but he was beaten against Zhang Dingbian. Doesn't that mean that even a partial general of the Great Qin Dynasty could defeat the most powerful general of the Yuan Dynasty?
At this time, Kublai Khan felt jealous. Such a strong Zhang Dingbian was only a partial general in Da Qin. What a waste of talent.
If Zhang Dingbian defected to Dayuan, Kublai Khan would definitely reuse him and give him the post of general.
Of course, Kublai Khan was just thinking about it. He knew that Zhang Dingbian and Zhang Liao were of the same race, and the feasibility of instigating rebellion was almost impossible.
Just when Kublai Khan was envious and jealous, thirty rounds had already passed outside the city.
Liu Zheng was completely at a disadvantage. He could only parry and was unable to fight back at all.
Zhang Dingbian, on the other hand, looked at ease, perhaps not even using his full strength.
Seeing that Liu Zheng was about to be defeated, a general from the Yuan army rushed out of the camp. It was Liu Bolin who was a Han clan clan member like Liu Zheng.
“Brother Liu Zheng, hold on, Bolin is here to help you.” Liu Bolin shouted.
【Ding dong, Liu Bolin activates the skill ‘Sword God’, force +4, basic force 103, equipment +2, current force increased to 109; 】
On the side of the Qin army's camp, Zhang He, who came to challenge the Yuan army, saw that the Yuan army was preparing to bully the minority with more troops. He immediately prepared to rush out to help Zhang Dingbian, but was stopped by Shi Long.
Zhang He was extremely puzzled by this, but Shi Long explained: "General Zhang, don't worry, with Brother Dingbian's strength, even if we are one against two, we will not lose."
If he hadn't known that Shi Long and Zhang Dingbian were brothers, Zhang He would probably have thought that the two men had a grudge. Shi Long was deliberately harming Zhang Dingbian and wanted to get rid of him with the help of Yuan Meng.
Of course, this possibility is too low.
Moreover, Shi Long’s sister Shi Yiguang was a concubine in the palace.
As the uncle of the state, Shi Long is already eye-catching. Even if he had a grudge against Zhang Dingbian, he would not use such a stupid method.
Seeing that Shi Long was so confident in Zhang Dingbian, Zhang He could only wait and see what happened. If Zhang Dingbian was defeated, it would not be too late to go to support him.
What Zhang He never expected was that even if Zhang Dingbian was one against two, he would not lose at all.
【Ding dong, Zhang Dingbian’s skill ‘Fierce Fierce’ is activated.
Hong Kong Meng: Zhang Dingbian’s unique skill;
Effect 1. After this skill is activated, the force will be +4 when fighting on foot, and the force will be +5 when fighting on horseback;
Effect 2, the stronger the fighting spirit in the heart, the stronger the strength exerted, each time the force is +3, up to 3 times
Effect 3: During a group battle, each additional person on the opponent's side will gain +1 force. The maximum limit is 5 people.
Effect 4: Command +1 when leading infantry in combat, +2 when commanding cavalry and naval forces in combat, and improve the overall combat power and morale of the troops under your command. 】
【Ding dong, Zhang Dingbian's skill ‘Fierce’ is activated with effect 3. During a group battle, each additional person on the opponent's side will gain +1 force.
Zhang Dingbian’s basic force is 106, equipment +2, sword **** +4, fierce owl +5+3+3;
The current force of Zhang Dingbian has increased to 124;】
With the activation of the "Fierce" group battle effect, Zhang Dingbian's force value increased to 124, and this was still not Zhang Dingbian's limit.
Looking at the Yuan army, even if Liu Zheng's skills at 104 are fully activated, they can only reach the level of early 120;
Liu Bolin, whose base score is 103, is even less than 120.
So, even if Liu Zheng and Liu Bolin join forces, they are still no match for Zhang Dingbian at 124. Instead, they are beaten by Zhang Dingbian alone.
