Chapter 2901: The Battle of Ganyu in the Qin and Ming Dynasties, Zhang Guiba and Ao Shen (Part 2)
Xiang Zhuang naturally uses the Overlord Halberd method. Although he has learned the true inheritance of Xiang Yu, he is not born with divine power, and he has not understood the true meaning of Overlord, so his compatibility with the Overlord Halberd is obviously not as high as that of Sun Ce.
Even so, Xiang Zhuang only relied on a set of Overlord Halberds to raise his own strength to the level of a peak divine general. It was extremely difficult to rely on this persistence and perseverance alone, but that was the end of it.
Xiang Zhuang's potential has been fully tapped. If there were no major opportunities or achievements, he would probably be stuck at 104 in this life, unable to cross over from the peak **** general to the **** of war.
In comparison, although Ao Shen is only a high-level general of Jiwu 103, as a mythical figure, his potential is much greater than that of martial arts and historical figures. As long as he can tap his potential, he will definitely be able to do so in the future. Breakthrough God of War.
In terms of moves alone, the Overlord Halberd is actually not too clever. Its real core key is to move forward in an invincible manner, as well as a domineering will.
Hence, Xiang Zhuang, who did not understand the true meaning of Overlord, naturally used the Overlord Halberd method to be a little less meaningful.
But even so, Xiang Zhuang's strength can be considered above average among the peak generals.
If he met an ordinary high-level divine general, Xiang Zhuang would naturally be able to win easily, but it was a pity that he met Ao Shen this time.
Although Ao Shen's basic martial arts is 1 point lower than Xiang Zhuang, as a mythical character, not only does he have all kinds of configurations, but also the compatibility between his martial arts and martial arts is still higher than Xiang Zhuang's.
It is said that the ancestor of the Aoshen family was a palace guard in the pre-Qin Dynasty during the period of Qin Feizi. He relied on the "Wandering Dragon Spear" to defeat all the invincible opponents in the Qin Dynasty.
The Meng family's family martial arts "Eighteen Styles of the Wandering Dragon" is said to be created by the ancestor of the Meng family based on the fragments of the "Youlong Spear" of the Ao family.
Later, when the Pre-Qin Dynasty fell, the surviving members of the Ao family hid in the Western Regions and relied on half of the "Ancestral Dragon Jue" to create the Ao family's current ancestral martial art, the "Shenlong Jue".
The Ao family’s two ancestral exercises, "Shenlong Jue" and "Wandering Dragon Spear", are closely related to the Ying family's "Ancestral Dragon Jue" and the Meng family's "Eighteen Styles of the Wandering Dragon".
It is precisely because the Ao family and the Yingmeng family have had a deep connection since ancient times that he was so easily accepted by the Qin army after he took the initiative to defect and was entrusted with important tasks.
"Shenlong Jue" may not be as good as "Ancestral Dragon Jue" and "Heart Sutra of the Overlord" in terms of grade, but the requirements for qualifications and character are not that high, and it is more suitable for Ao Shen, who was born in the dragon clan in mythology.
The high degree of compatibility between martial arts and martial arts, plus the fact that the "Wandering Dragon Spear" is not inferior to the "Overlord Halberd", gives Ao Shen the capital to fight across ranks.
Xiang Zhuang's Overlord Halberd technique is very open and closed in terms of fighting style, and it is also brave and domineering, taking the route of defeating all methods with one force.
Looking back at Ao Shen's Youlong Spear technique, it is sharp yet dexterous, taking a route that combines strength with skill.
In short, Ao Shen is in the same type as Zhao Yun and Luo.
Xiang Zhuang wanted to follow the same route as Xiang Yu, but failed to inherit Xiang Yu's essence.
[Ding dong, Ao Shen’s skill ‘Dragon Roar’ is activated, effects 1 and 3 are activated one after another, force +3, and the overall combat power of the enemy’s entire army is partially reduced.
Ao Shen: Basic force 103, equipment +2, gun master +4;
Ao Shen's current military strength has increased to 111, and the Ming army's total military strength is -1;
Current: Zhu Di’s force has dropped to 103;
Chang Yuchun’s force dropped to 108;
Chang Mao’s force dropped to 109;
Xiangzhuang's military force declined...;
…]
The two sides fought back and forth for a full thirty rounds. They were always evenly matched and there was no winner. However, after the thirty rounds, Xiangzhuang gradually fell into a disadvantage.
The Overlord's Halberd has high requirements on strength and physical fitness, and it is naturally difficult for those who are not born with divine power to use it for a long time. This is the main reason why the Overlord's Halberd method is obviously widely spread, but only a few people such as Xiang Yu, Lu Bu, and Sun Ce use it.
Although Ying Hao is not born with divine power, the powerful skills given by fellow practitioners of the dual skill method can fully bear the consumption of the Overlord Halberd.
As for Xiang Zhuang, he has neither natural power nor dual attack skills, so it is naturally difficult for him to afford the cost of using the Overlord Halberd for a long time.
As the battle reached the 30th round, Ao Shen clearly felt that Xiang Zhuang's physical fitness was declining and his power was being consumed faster, so he naturally went all out to pursue the victory.
Hunted by Ao Shen, Xiang Zhuang felt exhausted, but he persisted for another 20 rounds. After his helmet flew off with a shot from Ao Shen, he took the initiative to retreat.
Looking at Xiang Zhuang who was escaping in embarrassment, Ao Shen did not choose to pursue him. The opponent's skill and level were superior to his. If he pushed too hard, he would easily suffer backlash.
"good…"
At the Qin army camp, when they saw that the young general Ao Shen actually defeated the veteran general Xiang Zhuang, all the soldiers cheered in unison.
Seeing that Ao Shen did not chase him out, not only Zhou Yu, but also Yi Sunchen couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation in his eyes. After all, he was not arrogant in victory, and he had a well-founded approach and retreat. This was indeed a good seedling worth cultivating.
“Hurry up and beat the drum to cheer for General Ao Shen.” Yi Sun-shin shouted.
【Ding dong, Yi Sun-shin's skill 'Inspire' effect 1 is activated;
Inspiration: Speech can also be the key to reversing the situation. Different people have different effects of this skill.
Effect 1. When activated, it can boost the morale of the entire army and increase the combat effectiveness of the entire army.
Effect 2, which can invalidate the enemy’s skill effects that attack the entire army;
At present, Yi Sun-shin's skill "Inspire" effect 1 is activated, the morale of the entire Qin army is increased, and the combat power is increased;]
Chao Cao also has the skill 'Inspire', and it was Cao Cao's only commanding skill before he merged with 'Traitor' and became 'Wei Wu'.
Perhaps it is for this reason that Cao Cao's "encouragement" has the effect of improving his command.
On the other hand, Yi Sun-shin's "Inspire" cannot be said to be useless, but there is no direct numerical improvement, and the skill intensity is much worse than Cao Cao's.
[Ding dong, Yi Sun-shin’s skill ‘Inspire’ is superimposed on ‘Navy Army’, and the Qin army’s total force +1;
Current: Ao Shen’s force has increased to 117;
Zhou Yu's force increased to 104; Jiao Mo's force increased to 110; ]
Inspired by the increase in "encouragement" and Ao Shen's victory over Xiang Zhuang, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Qin army were significantly improved.
Looking at the Ming army, many soldiers looked disappointed when they saw Xiangzhuang's defeat, and their morale dropped significantly.
After all, compared to the unknown Ao Shen, Xiang Zhuang, a younger brother of Xiang Yu, is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years. It is indeed a bit embarrassing for the veteran to be defeated by a newcomer.
"The main attack will be defeated. Please punish me." Xiang Zhuang apologized with a face of shame.
Zhu Di, however, waved his hand and said with a nonchalant look: "Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. A defeat can't mean anything. Just prepare first. You will have a chance to atone for your sins later."
)
As soon as Xiang Zhuang was defeated, Zhu Di immediately sent a new general to replace him, and his replacement turned out to be Zhang Guiba, the fourteenth-ranked silver spear general among the sixteen heroes of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Guiba and his younger brother Zhang Guihou were implanted into the Ming Dynasty with Zhu Youyu, and became Zhu Di's generals. However, with the merger of Qi and Ming Dynasty, the three brothers Zhu Youwen, Zhu Yougui, and Zhu Youyu became friends with Zhu Di. There was something dirty between them.
The three brothers Zhu Youwen, Zhu Yougui, and Zhu Youyu led their troops to defect to the Ming Dynasty. Their original intention was to use Zhu Di's hand to avenge Zhu Tianpeng for killing his father, and at the same time regain the Qi Kingdom.
But what these three brothers never expected was that Zhu Tianpeng, who had won the final victory in the Qi Civil War, would not make any resistance and took the initiative to hand over military and political power to Zhu Di.
If Zhu Di were to completely take over Qi, how could the three brothers take control of Qi? Therefore, they naturally strongly opposed the merger of Qi and Ming, and even slandered Zhu Di's ears, saying that this must be Zhu Tianpeng's conspiracy.
Zhu Di naturally trusts the three brothers Zhu Youwen again. After all, he has become selfish after taking power. On the other hand, Zhu Tianpeng is a bit too selfless. After comparing his feelings with others, he naturally does not believe that there are such selfless people in this world.
But under Fan Li's urging, Zhu Di decided to trust Zhu Tianpeng. He would not lose anything if he failed anyway, and Zhu Tianpeng's full cooperation also made him completely relieved.
But at the important moment of the merger of Qi and Ming, Zhu Tianpeng, the king of Qi, was kidnapped by Heibingtai in the territory of Qi. This move not only interrupted the normal process of the merger of the two countries, but also made Zhu Youwen three The brothers are no longer human inside and out.
Both the Ming and Qi states believed that it was the three brothers Zhu Youwen who did it. Even if it wasn't, they must have leaked the secret.
In this regard, the three brothers Zhu Youwen were naturally unable to argue. In addition, Zhu Di also alienated them, causing the three men to completely lose power in the Ming Dynasty, and their subordinates also drew a clear line with them, including brothers Zhang Guiba and Zhang Guihou.
After the brothers Zhang Guiba joined Zhu Di, they quickly gained Zhu Di's attention. After all, Zhang Guiba, one of the sixteen heroes of the Tang Dynasty, was really strong.
As for Didi Zhang Guihou, although his physical strength is not as good as that of his brother, he is only slightly better and he is also a strong general.
How could Zhu Di not reuse these two powerful brothers? In the subsequent Central Plains War and the Japanese Conquest War, brothers Zhang Guiba and Zhang Guihou also lived up to Zhu Di's expectations, and they both performed extremely well. Performance.
So, after Xiangzhuang's defeat, Zhu Di immediately thought of Zhang Guiba.
Although Zhang Guiba, like Xiang Zhuang, is a peak general in base martial arts 104, his overall strength is stronger than Xiang Zhuang, who has difficulty fighting a protracted war. And unlike Xiang Zhuang, who has exhausted his potential, he still has a lot of potential. Potential can be tapped.
As soon as Zhang Guiba appeared on the stage, Ao Shen showed a solemn expression.
Not only was the other party's aura stronger than Xiang Zhuang and him, but Ao Shen also felt a strong spear intention in him, indicating that the other party was not only a master of spear skills, but also his understanding of spear skills might be better than his own. .
In this regard, Ao Shen has no intention of backing down. The opponent may be stronger than himself, but the gap is not big enough for him to retreat without a fight. Moreover, if martial arts wants to improve, it must challenge the strong and always fight. How can someone who is weaker than me make progress?
“Boy, tell me your name.”
Zhang Guiba flicked the silver gun in his hand and said calmly: "I, Zhang Guiba, will not kill unknown people with my gun."
Ao Shen heard this and said seriously: "Ao Shen belongs to the Ao family in the Western Regions."
"The Western Regions? I didn't expect that there would be heroes like you in such a quiet place. Remember, the one who killed you is Zhang Guiba."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Guiba turned into a bolt of lightning, and the silver gun in his hand was instantly filled with red inner energy.
【Ding dong, Zhang Guiba activates his skills ‘Gun God’ and ‘Silver Spear’ one after another, with force +4+5;
Zhang Guiba’s basic force is 104, equipment +2, Yongle +2, and the current force has increased to 115; ]
Although Zhang Guiba's marksmanship is not as good as "Wandering Dragon Spear" in terms of level, he still follows a route that combines strength and skill. However, because his physical strength is stronger than Ao Shen's, his normal attacks actually have a critical hit effect. .
nail…
After Ao Shen swung his spear to block, he suddenly felt his arm go numb. Before he could remember to react, Zhang Guiba had already withdrawn his spear and launched another round of attack.
In response to this, Ao Shen could only use his kung fu to dispel the numb energy, while holding guns with both hands to enhance the force and force-receiving points, and look for opportunities while guarding the border.
Ao Shenxianhe fought with Xiang Zhuang for more than fifty rounds, and his physical strength was also exhausted. Although it would not affect his combat power, facing Zhang Guiba, who was stronger than Xiang Zhuang, he obviously could not be his opponent. , so that they fell into a disadvantage as soon as they met.
Ao Shen passively defended for ten rounds before he found an opportunity to counterattack, but this opportunity was a trap deliberately left by Zhang Guiba. If Ao Shen hadn't been cautious enough, he might have been killed by this time.
Seeing that Ao Shen was completely at a disadvantage and was obviously not as strong as Zhang Guiba, Jiao Mochang said to Zhou Yu: "Grand Governor, Ao Shen is not Zhang Guiba's opponent. If we continue to fight like this, we will probably lose our lives. It's better to let the general go." Take his place."
Zhou Yu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, if you can't hold on, Ao Shen will come back on his own. He is not the kind of person who wants to save face and suffer."
As Zhou Yu expected, Ao Shen persisted for another fifteen rounds under Zhang Guiba's stormy offensive, but was unable to continue to resist, so he had the idea of retreating.
Ao Shen found the opportunity, distanced himself from the opponent, and said with fists in his arms: "Your Excellency is very strong, Ao Shen is no match for you. Let's fight again next time if we have a chance."
After saying this, Ao Shen turned around and ran away.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu looked at Jiao Moxiang and smiled and said, "Look, just tell me, he will come back on his own."
Jiao Mochang couldn't help but laugh.
"General Jiao, go and replace Ao Shen and teach the Ming army a lesson." Zhou Yu ordered.
"No." Jiao Mo said sternly, cupping his fists.
