Chapter 567: The second melee at Hulao Pass (Part 2)
"Xiang Yu, you are a defeated general. Just stay there and don't move. I will crush you to death right now."
When Xiang Yu heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. Apart from the fool who defeated him once, there was no other person who could say such stupid things, even though Xiang Yu himself was not convinced even if he lost.
Looking at the three generals rushing towards him, Xiang Yu's expression became extremely solemn. He had fought against all three of them and knew their strength well.
"If I fight these three people alone, can I survive ten rounds?"
To be honest, Xiang Yu didn't know for sure, but he didn't come back alone this time, and he wouldn't be stupid and continue to be beaten by the Han army.
"Everyone, everything is going according to plan, success or failure depends on this."
Xiang Yu warned in a deep voice, and several people behind him also became serious after hearing the words.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu nodded, and then continued to maintain his charging posture, but his target was not Li Yuanba, but Li Cunxiao. As for Li Yuanba, he was stopped by a middle-aged knight holding a sword.
"You silly boy, if you want to kill Xiang Yu, you should first pass this general level."
Seeing Xiang Yu go to Li Cunxiao, Li Yuanba suddenly became anxious and threatened with a hammer: "Who are you? Get out of here. If you don't get away, I will smash you to death too."
A hint of amusement flashed at the corner of the man's mouth, and he said loudly: "My name will scare you to death, so you'd better not know it."
Li Yuanba was stunned. Although he didn't believe it at all, his curiosity was aroused.
"Scared me to death? Come on, you're bragging. Tell me and listen. If you don't scare me to death, I'll beat you to death with a hammer."
"Listen up, I am Xiang Yu's master."
Li Yuanba was shocked. He felt that the master must be better than the apprentice, but he said with disdain on his face: "What's so great about a master who is defeated by his subordinates."
"Hey, this doesn't scare you. Listen, I have another identity. I am the general of the Ming Dynasty." The middle-aged man said seriously.
Li Yuanba was also surprised. The general was the head of the military generals. He was simple-minded and naturally thought that the general was the most powerful among the Ming army.
"What's so great about the general? I killed so many Qiang chanyus that I can't even count them on one hand."
…
Just as the two were arguing with each other, Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao had already turned over.
After the war started, Xiang Yu realized what a right choice he made by choosing Li Cunxiao as his opponent, because Li Cunxiao became a little stronger again.
Time goes back half a day.
After the battle with Li Yuanba, Xiang Yu only rested for half a day before riding alone at night to catch up with the reinforcements, so he never showed up.
After arriving, Xiang Yu suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart when he saw the man sitting in the main seat.
"Xiang Yu, are you sure there are three generals at the same level as you in the Han army?"
"That's right, Li Yuanba defeated me yesterday and became the new best general in the world. Li Cunxiao is between my brothers, and Yu Wencheng is only 10% weaker."
Seeing that the people present did not ridicule him for his defeat, Xiang Yu felt a lot better, and then told everyone the detailed information about the three generals.
"So the outcome of this battle is not about when the reinforcements arrive, but how to stop the three generals?" The man in the first seat analyzed calmly.
Xiang Yu nodded when he heard this and said: "That's right, if we can't stop these three people, even if the reinforcements arrive in advance, there is only one way to be defeated."
"But even General Xiang cannot deal with three opponents of the same level at the same time, let alone Li Yuanba has defeated..."
"But except for General Xiang, no one in our Ming Dynasty has such combat power?"
The two generals said extremely pessimistically. This is also what most people think. After all, the gap in strength cannot be bridged.
"No, it's not time to despair yet."
The middle-aged general standing first on the left below, with a trace of determination flashing in his eyes, stepped forward and said: "Li Yuanba's martial arts skills are average, but strength does not equal strength, so it is up to me to hold him down."
As soon as he said this, he immediately aroused opposition from the whole audience, and the leader also quickly advised: "No, uncle, how can you put yourself in danger?"
"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll escape unscathed."
Seeing that his mind had been made up, the man thought for a moment and said: "Uncle, you don't need to defeat Li Yuanba, you just need to hold him back. General Xiang Yu, you choose one of the other two generals to be your opponent."
Xiang Yu didn't think twice and directly chose Li Cunxiao, who had the strongest overall ability.
"But what about Yu Wencheng?" someone else asked.
But a sneer flashed at the corner of the leader's mouth.
"How the Han army dealt with General Xiang in the past, we will deal with the Han army now. This time the number of our generals will never be less than that of the Han army."
Return to Hulao Pass.
Yu Wencheng admired Xiang Yu very much. Although he did not want to bully the minority with more, he could not disobey military orders, so he could only obey them.
"Xiang Yu, take the move."
Yu Wencheng shouted and attacked Xiang Yu from behind. Of course, this was also a reminder to Xiang Yu that he was coming, but Xiang Yu ignored it at all.
Seeing that Xiang Yu was completely defenseless against him, Yu Wencheng realized that something was wrong no matter how stupid he was.
Suddenly, three generals also came from three directions behind to kill Yuwen Chengdu.
"Ji Bu is here, and the Han will take his life."
"When Yu Ziqi comes, the Han generals will not be so rampant."
"How dare a shameless general make a sneak attack? Look at me, Zhong Lizhen, coming to fight you."
Facing three powerful generals who have the power of god generals after breaking out, even Yuwen Chengdu must deal with them carefully.
When Qin Hao saw Zhong Limei appearing, he couldn't help but secretly thought: "Yuan Shu really didn't kill Zhong Limei, but it's impossible to let him go, right?"
After the Battle of Hanshui River, Zhongli Mei was captured alive by Zhao Kuangyin. At that time, Qin Hao asked Yuan Shu for a prisoner, but Yuan Shu insisted that he had killed him.
"For Zhongli Mei to return, does this mean that Yuan Shu and Daming reached some kind of deal, or did Daming save him privately?"
After Qin Hao thought for a while, he already came to a conclusion in his mind.
"They should be rescued. After all, Yuan Shu is unlikely to trade with the Ming Dynasty."
Qin Hao's guess was absolutely correct. Zhang Sheng also wanted to redeem himself from Yuan Shu through negotiation, but Yuan Shu didn't even want to negotiate and refused directly.
At that time, Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang had not returned, and the Ming Dynasty was in its most difficult period. With Zhong Lizhen as a good general on the battlefield, it was naturally impossible for Zhang Sheng to give up, so he sent the Taiping Guards to rescue him.
In this rescue operation, the Taiping Guards were all elite, and Yuan Shu's guard was also very strict. After all, he also wanted to subdue Zhongli Mei.
The rescue operation obviously did not go smoothly. After injuring many elites, it was finally successful. Zhongli Mei was grateful to Zhang Sheng for this.
