Vol 2 Chapter 2869: Kong Xuan captured Xia Houlan alive, but Bai Qi poisoned his plan and destroyed
Chapter 2869 Kong Xuan captures Xiahou Lan alive and uses poison to destroy Cao’s army.
Chapter 2865: Kong Xuan captured Xiahou Lan alive, and Bai used a poisonous plan to destroy Cao's army.
The deputy city lord of Xueyue City, Penglai Spear God Sanren Tong Yuan, has five disciples, namely: Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan, and Sikong Changfeng.
Except for Zhang Ren, who died in the battle, three of the above five people joined the Qin Dynasty. The only one who did not join the Qin Dynasty was Xiahou Lan.
Although Xia Houlan became a disciple together with Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun was a closed disciple, and he was only a registered disciple.
Although Tong Yuan also taught him his famous skill, Hundred Birds Shooting Phoenix Spear, Xia Houlan was unable to practice it to a great extent due to his talent.
It was not until Xiahoulan returned to the Xiahou family that she was appreciated by Xiahouyuan and vigorously cultivated by the Xiahou family. Then the qualification bottleneck was broken, and the Phoenix Spear became a success.
For Xia Houlan, the most important people are Tong Yuan and Xia Houyuan, so when he saw Xia Houyuan in danger, he would not even listen to Cao Cao's words and resolutely risked his life to come to support.
Xia Houlan is only a junior general. Logically speaking, he is not qualified to intervene in the battle between Kong Xuan and Yin Shou, Tantai Yu, and Xia Houyuan. However, he owns the bronze spear, one of the four divine spears, so he reluctantly Have the qualifications to intervene.
[Ding dong, Silver Spear King Tantai Yu, Bronze Spear Xia Houlan, and Iron Spear Xia Houyuan are all present at the same time. The combo skill "Four Divine Spears" with effect 1 is activated. When these three are present at the same time, their force is +3;
Current: Tantai Yu’s force has increased to 130;
Xiahouyuan’s force increased to 127;
Xiahoulan’s military strength increased to...]
The third of the ‘Four Divine Guns’ is present. Although the amplification effect is not fully activated, the improvement is still very large.
Tantai Yu's force value has increased to 130 again, and Xia Houyuan has also reached 127. Fighting alone is naturally not qualified to fight Kong Xuan, but if they join forces, they can undoubtedly share a lot of pressure for Yin Shou.
"good chance."
Xia Houlan saw that Kong Xuan's back was still facing him and that he had not activated the Gangqi Armor. He thought it was a good opportunity for a sneak attack. He immediately waved the silver gun in his hand with all his strength, forming a net of guns in an instant, and resolutely launched a sneak attack on Kong Xuan.
“Take the move, and hundreds of birds will shoot at the phoenix spear.”
【Ding dong, Xiahoulan activates the skill ‘Bronze Spear’, with force +4;
Xiahou Lan’s basic force is 102 (+6), equipment: Feixue Plum Blossom Spear +1;
Skills: Cao Wei Eight Tiger Cavalry +1, Wei Wu +1, Four Divine Spears +3, Spear God +4;
The current force of Xiahoulan has increased to 116;]
Xia Houlan's seemingly fearless move shocked Xia Houyuan and others.
Xiahoulan's sudden arrival attracted some of Kong Xuan's energy, interrupted Kong Xuan's offensive, and improved their passive and disadvantageous situation. This was indeed a good thing.
But when Xia Houlan, who had just entered the Grand Master realm, dared to wield a spear at the Grand Master Kong Xuan, he was really too brave and was simply risking his life.
Xia Houyuan's eyes were full of urgency. He still valued Xia Houlan. In addition to his talent, there was also the relationship between Xia Houlan and Zhao Yun.
Due to the death of Xiahou Dun, many Cao Wei clans, including Cao Cao, were blinded by hatred.
Xiahou Yuan naturally hates Da Qin very much, but he has not completely lost his mind. He knows that the hatred between the two sides has been growing. If this trend continues, even if the Cao family and Xiahou family are not exterminated, only a few of them will be killed. People can survive, which is not much different from genocide.
Xiahou Yuan knew that he could not convince Cao Cao, so he put his hope in Xiahoulan, and even planned to let Xiahoulan be the head of the family after the war.
Xia Houlan and Zhao Yun grew up together. They were more brothers than brothers, and Zhao Yun was the brother-in-law of Emperor Qin.
If Zhao Yun had said a few nice words to Xiahou's family for Xiahou Lan's sake, then many people in Xiahou's family would have died less.
So in Xia Houyuan's heart, Xia Houlan was more important than his son, so naturally he would not let Xia Houlan get involved in danger.
But the problem was that Xia Houlan's attack was too sudden, and Xia Houyuan had no time to dissuade him.
On the other hand, Kong Xuan, even though his back was turned to Xia Houlan, who was about to kill him, he remained calm and calm, without the slightest panic.
【Ding dong, Kong Xuan received the increase of ‘Four Court Pillars’ superimposed on ‘First Climb’, and his force +1. The current force of Kong Xuan has increased to 140; 】
Being besieged by three generals, Yin Shou, Tantai Yu, and Xia Houyuan, and being attacked by Xia Houlan behind him, Kong Xuan still had no intention of opening the Gangqi Armor. He first struck with all his strength, and after repelling the three generals, he used his sword again. He easily blocked the stabbing silver spear.
Seeing that Xia Houlan was actually using the Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix, Kong Xuan's eyes showed a trace of confusion and asked: "Boy, where did you learn the Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix Spear?"
Xia Houlan's strength is naturally not worth mentioning in Kong Xuan's eyes, but the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear is Tong Yuan's signature marksmanship, and Kong Xuan has a good relationship with Tong Yuan, and he happened to be familiar with Zhao Yun recently, no When looking at the face of a monk, you must also look at the face of the Buddha. Naturally, Kong Xuan had to ask clearly before deciding whether to kill Xia Houlan or not.
Xia Houlan obviously didn't expect that Kong Xuan could break his sneak attack so easily under the pressure of the three generals. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move the opponent in the slightest. His scalp suddenly felt numb and he couldn't hear Kong Xuan's question clearly. He what.
Seeing that Xia Houlan didn't answer, Kong Xuan looked frightened, so he asked patiently: "Hey, boy, I'm going to ask you something. Where did you learn the Hundred Birds Shooting Phoenix Spear?"
This time Xia Houlan heard it clearly and immediately replied: "Well, my master Tong Yuan."
…”
Hong Xuan was speechless. What he hated and resented the most was this kind of situation where brothers from the same family were in different camps and eventually met on the battlefield.
Kong Xuan's younger brother Kong Peng ignored the family's upbringing and teachings, and went against Da Qin just because of some small grudges. In the end, his brother was also dragged into the water.
The thing that Kong Xuan regrets most now is that when Kong Peng defected, he was soft-hearted and did not act cruelly, and finally allowed Kong Peng and his two sworn brothers to escape. However, he did not expect that this would intensify the hatred between Kong Peng and Da Qin. It also made Kong Peng completely embark on the path of anti-Qin. If he had known that it would develop into the current situation, Kong Xuan should have been cruel and directly broke Kong Peng's legs, or even disabled his skills, which would have been better than him dying and causing trouble for his family.
It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now. Kong Peng has already joined the Shu Han, and the Shu Han is the second largest force in the world. Even as powerful as Kong Xuan, there is no way to force Kong Peng back.
Furthermore, Kong Xuan still doesn't know how to face his younger brother who is determined to oppose Qin. If he really encounters his younger brother on the battlefield, he is not sure whether he can be ruthless enough to kill him.
For the sake of family inheritance, sacrificing the small self to achieve the greater self sounds simple, but it is difficult to actually do it. After all, the human heart is made of flesh.
Therefore, when seeing Tong Yuan’s sect, in addition to Zhang Ren, Xia Houlan appeared, Kong Xuan could sympathize with Tong Yuan.
In the battle of Jade Emperor, Kong Xuan and Tong Yuan became comrades-in-arms, and Tong Yuan took the initiative to burn his inner strength and made great sacrifices for the Qin Dynasty.
So, for the sake of Tong Yuan and Zhao Yun, Kong Xuan decided to spare Xiahou Lan's life.
“Boy, you are not qualified enough to fight with me, just go aside and watch the battle.”
After finishing speaking, Kong Xuan shook the big knife in his hand slightly.
The next second, a huge force struck, and Xiahoulan's hands were instantly split open. He could no longer hold the weapon in his hand, and the spear flew away.
"roll."
Kong Xuan shouted, and while blocking the attack of the three generals Yin Shou, Tantai Yu, and Xia Houyuan with one sword, the five-color Gang Qi armor around him quickly took shape, and the invisible momentum also condensed into tangible murderous intent, directed at Xia Houlan.
Xia Houlan had never seen such a method before. He had no countermeasures at all. He was directly blown off the horse by Kong Xuan's murderous aura. After landing on the ground, he rolled for more than ten meters before stopping.
Xia Houlan subconsciously wanted to get up, but found that his hands and feet were tied. After a closer look, he was stunned. The grass on the ground automatically knotted and **** his hands and feet.
…
Whether it was Xia Houlan or Cao Cao, Fan Li, Cao Qiudao and others who were watching the battle, they all took a breath after seeing this scene. They were obviously shocked by Kong Xuan's magical method.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Qiudao and asked with disbelief: "Is this also martial arts?"
Although Cao Qiudao was puzzled, he nodded solemnly: "The Yin Yang family's Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flowers can also achieve similar effects."
Although everyone is a grand master, Kong Xuan is obviously not on the same level as him. The opponent is someone who is qualified to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, and it is difficult for him to even break through the middle stage of the grand master. The gap is really too big.
Kong Xuan's move is one of the wood-type moves in his self-created Five Elements Magic Art. The stretching of the wood does not seem to be very powerful, and its expression is only to control grass and vines. However, as Kong Xuan's realm improves, this move can It will become a very practical enemy control move.
Xia Houlan was a little afraid to move now. With his strength, if he really wanted to break free, the straw rope would definitely not be able to tie him up. However, Kong Xuan used the untieable straw rope to tie him up. It was obvious that he was trying to tie him up. If you don't answer the question, wouldn't it be a little too ignorant?
Just when Xia Houlan was in a dilemma, Qin Hua came forward with two Qin soldiers. Xia Houlan struggled subconsciously when he saw this, but found that the originally fragile straw rope was now extremely tough. He could not struggle at all, and directly He was captured alive by Qin Hua and brought back to the main formation.
Seeing that Xia Houlan was captured, Xia Houyuan felt relieved. As long as Xia Houlan did not die, his relationship with Zhao Yun would still be there, and the Qin army would not kill him. It would be better for him to be captured like this. It would be better for Zhao Yun to do it himself He came forward to persuade him to surrender.
Xia Houlan came quickly and left even faster. Although he acted like a clown, in fact, after activating the "Four Divine Spears", he greatly helped the Wei army.
For Kong Xuan, even if Yin Shou was assisted by two gods of war, he was not a big threat to him. At most, he could defeat or even kill him with some effort.
However, with the activation of the Four Divine Spears, Tantai Yu's force value exceeded 130 and Xia Houyuan's 127. The increase in combat effectiveness allowed these two auxiliaries to share a lot of pressure on Yin Shou, and doubled Yin Shou's ability to continue combat.
After Kong Xuan received the group increase, although his force reached 140, it would obviously take some time to defeat the three generals who cooperated with each other tacitly. However, the situation on the battlefield changed at this time.
After Kong Xuan arrived, Bai Qi immediately started to open up the formation and transformed the Longmen Formation, which was originally mainly defensive, into an offensive formation.
But after all, the Qin army is all infantry, and Cao Jun is all cavalry, so even if the Qin army takes the initiative to attack, if Cao Jun avoids the battle, the two legs will definitely not be able to catch up with the four legs.
At this time, the four thousand cavalry of Wei Rui and Fu Youde who were outside the battlefield were crucial.
Bai Qi had anticipated the current situation from the beginning, so he asked Wei Rui and Fu Youde to lurk ten miles away from the battlefield and remain motionless.
Now Cao Jun's attention was attracted to the frontal battlefield. Yin Shou, Tantai Yu, and Xia Houyuan, the three most powerful generals in Cao Wei, were also held back by Kong Xuan.
At this time, as long as Wei Rui and Fu Youde launch a sudden attack on Cao Jun from the flanks, Cao Jun will most likely not have time to retreat if Cao Jun does not respond in time. At this time, the 50,000 Qin army infantry on the front battlefield is launching a general attack.
50,000 Qin troops, plus 4,000 Qin cavalry, can definitely defeat 15,000 Cao Wei cavalry in one battle under attack from two sides.
As for total annihilation? This is naturally impossible. After all, Cao's army has all the cavalry. Even if they can't fight, they can run away. Being able to defeat them is already the greatest result.
Cao Wei lost these 15,000 cavalry, and his 100,000 main force was trapped in the quagmire of Chenliu, unable to escape. The Yanzhou battlefield was basically decided by this battle.
Before the war started, Cao Cao thought Bai Qi was bluffing, but he didn't know that Bai Qi had already weaved a huge net for him that could swallow him up completely.
If the opponent is only Cao Cao, Bai Qi is confident that his strategy will succeed. However, Cao Cao has Fan Li, the world's top wise man, beside him, so Bai Qi is not completely sure.
But the matter has come to this, whether it succeeds or not, Bai Qi still wants to give it a try. After all, even if he fails, there is nothing to lose.
Seeing that his formation had completely changed, Bai Qi decisively ordered: "Send a signal to Wei Rui and Fu Youde's troops."
)
At the same time, the troops of Wei Rui and Fu Youde, who were lurking ten miles away from the battlefield, immediately took action after receiving Bai Qi's signal.
