Chapter 2472: The Great Victory of Haojing (7): Chengdu fights Yuanba again
"Is this Li Yuanba?"
Looking at Li Yuanba who was already one-armed but still majestic in front of the battle, Wang Jian showed surprise and said, "It seems different from the rumors."
Wang Jian became famous relatively late and had not been the deputy governor of Yongzhou for a long time. He had not dealt with Li Yuanba yet, so he did not know him.
But after seeing him, Wang Jian found that Li Yuanba was completely different from the one in the legend.
Didn’t everyone say that Li Yuanba was not only ugly, but also a fool all his life?
But from Wang Jian's observation, although Li Yuanba couldn't be said to be very good-looking, he couldn't be described as ugly.
As for his intelligence, Pei Yuanqing's speech is clear and coherent, and he can even quarrel with him. He can say five words. Is this the behavior of a fool?
Wang Jian slashed at Yuwen Chengdu and Gongsun Xuanyuan in confusion, because among everyone present, they were the only two who had the most contact with Li Yuanba Del.
Chengdu and Xuanyuan were also surprised.
The Li Yuanba they remembered was sickly-looking, skinny, and indeed a fool who didn't understand anything.
But the Li Yuanba in front of them was neatly dressed, clear in thinking, and capable of quarreling with others. It really couldn't match the person in their impressions.
"It seems that Li Yuanba's stupidity has been completely cured." Gongsun Xuanyuan said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked solemn.
The previous Li Yuanba was strong, but he was a fool after all. Due to the limitations of his intelligence, his achievements in martial arts were bound to be limited. Not to mention being a grand master, even a grand master could not achieve it.
But now that Li Yuanba's dementia has been completely cured and his intelligence has returned to the level of a normal person, his martial arts can continue.
Li Yuanba's physique is extremely special. He has not practiced any physical training techniques, but he is comparable to the physical training warriors who have achieved great external skills. If he can make up for the shortcomings in Qi training, there will really be no flaws to speak of.
At this point, the generals, including Wang Jian, had only one thought in their minds, and that was that fortunately Li Cunxiao had already cut off one of his arms, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with him if he really got up in spirit.
"General Chengdu, who is stronger and weaker, Li Yuanba, who has one arm but is not stupid now, compared to Li Yuanba, who had both arms but was stupid before?" Wang Jian asked.
Yuwen Chengdu didn't even think about it and said directly: "The Li Yuanba before was stronger."
"Yes, Li Yuanba's fighting method is very rational now. He is fighting with his brain, and his fighting power is much weaker than before." Gongsun Xuanyuan said.
"Isn't it good to fight with your brain?" Wang Jian asked puzzledly.
"For other people, fighting with their brains is naturally a good thing, but Li Yuanba's fighting instinct is sharper than that of a beast. When he returns to reason, he loses that crazy wildness. For him, it is equivalent to fighting with his own hands and feet."
Yuwen Chengdu said in a deep voice, his eyes full of complexity.
He regards Li Yuanba as his lifelong enemy and dreams of defeating this old enemy. However, he doesn't seem to have much sense of accomplishment if he defeats the Li Yuanba in front of him.
Wang Jian nodded when he heard this. Yuwen Chengdu said that this job proved to be absolutely sure that he could block or even defeat Li Yuanba, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Li Yuanba's reputation as General Shenweitian, who killed thousands of people in one battle, still put a lot of pressure on Wang Jian.
"That's it..."
Before Wang Jian finished speaking, he saw Pei Yuanqing knocked off his horse by a hammer from Li Yuanba on the battlefield, and flew backwards a full dozen meters away.
After seeing this scene, Wang Jian's face was full of shock, and he looked at Yuwen Chengdu with a puzzled expression.
You call this fighting with your hands and feet tied?
You are already so strong with your own hands and feet. If you don't use your own hands and feet, wouldn't you be able to kill Pei Yuanqing instantly?
After so many years of hard training by Pei Yuanqing, his strength not only failed to improve, but also regressed?
Is this reasonable?
As one of the top commanders in history, the first thing Wang Jian did after taking command of the army was to understand the details of his generals. After all, if the commander didn't know his generals, how could he understand his opponents?
Judging from the information Wang Jian learned, Pei Yuanqing learned his shame and became brave after being defeated by Li Yuanba in the battle at Hulao Pass, and his strength has improved rapidly.
Facing the much weaker Li Yuanba this time, Pei Yuanqing should have persisted for a few more rounds. There was no reason to be beaten away so quickly, right?
"Forehead?"
There was an embarrassed look on Yuwen Chengdu's face. He had just said that Li Yuanba was weaker than before, but the next moment Pei Yuanqing was beaten away. People who didn't know the truth might have thought that he was deliberately belittling his opponent.
Gongsun Xuanyuan shook his head and said: "Little General Yuan Qing is still too reckless and dares to confront Li Yuanba head-on.
Perhaps he thought that Li Yuanba's strength would be far less than before after breaking his arm.
But facts have proven that even if his arm is broken, Li Yuanba's strength is still the best in the world and has not been reduced much. "
"hiss……"
Hearing Xuanyuan's words, all the generals present took a deep breath.
He has already lost one hand, but he still has such strong strength. This is too abnormal.
Yuwen Chengdu looked at Wang Jian and said: "General, please send money to recruit Pei Yuanqing to come back. He is already injured. If the injury worsens, it will not be conducive to the subsequent plans..."
Before the word 'stroke' was uttered, Pei Yuanqing on the battlefield was already running back.
At this time, Pei Yuanqing felt regret in his heart. He shouldn't be brave.
Just like Xuanyuan's analysis, he thought that Li Yuanba's strength would not be as strong as before if he had a broken arm, so he dared to confront Li Yuanba head-on. However, he did not expect that even if his arm was broken, Li Yuanba's strength would still be as good as before.
How strong was Li Yuanba at his peak?
That's not even comparable to Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao.
Even though Pei Yuanqing was born with supernatural powers, the gap between him and Li Yuanba in terms of strength was still half Pei Yuanqing's.
Since you can't compare with strength, you can only make it up with skill.
Therefore, every blow that Pei Yuanqing and Li Yuanba exchanged consumes a huge amount of energy.
As a result, just a dozen hammer blows had consumed nearly half of his energy, and he was still injured internally.
Firstly, Pei Yuanqing wanted to avenge his shame, and secondly, he wanted to save face, so he confronted Li Yuanba head-on. In the end, the more he wanted face, the more embarrassing he became.
If he had not been so reckless with Li Yuanba, but tried his best to deal with it, he would have been able to last for more than ten rounds, and he would never have been beaten away so quickly.
After being injured, Pei Yuanqing calmed down and felt unbelievable.
He was so angered by Li Yuanba that he even forgot the purpose of going to war. This was really inappropriate.
He had already lost all his face. If Pei Yuanqing still acted stupidly and his injuries worsened, affecting his future plans, he would be subject to military law.
Therefore, without saying a word, Pei Yuanqing recalled his mount 'Grapple Tiger' and fled towards the formation, while not forgetting to say ruthless words.
"Li Yuanba, I am not in good condition this time. I will be the winner next time."
Now that you have suffered a loss with your hands, you can't suffer another loss with your mouth.
While Pei Yuanqing was defeated and fled, Ji Fa also rationally chose to retreat.
Ji Fa, who was at the peak of the general level, would never be defeated so quickly even if he was not the opponent of Yue Yun, who was at the level of the God of War.
The reason why he chose to retreat was because Ji Fa saw the gap between him and Yue Yun. If he continued to fight, he would lose, so he might as well withdraw quickly.
I have to say that it is indeed very rare for Ji Fa to remain so calm despite the death of three younger brothers.
Seeing that Pei Yuanqing took the initiative to withdraw, Yuwen Chengdu immediately rushed out on horseback.
The purpose of letting Pei Yuanqing go into battle was to lure Li Yuanba out. Now that Li Yuanba has gone into battle, Yuwen Chengdu cannot continue to remain indifferent.
Tang army camp.
When Changsun Wuji saw Yuwen Chengdu coming out to kill him, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "My lord, Wang Jian wants to use Yuwen Chengdu to hold back General Yuanba."
Li Shimin sneered: "Yuwen Chengdu has always been defeated by Yuanba. Even if Yuanba only has one arm left now, he is still no match for Yuanba."
Changsun Wuji opened his mouth, and then smiled bitterly. His lord trusted his younger brother Li Yuanba too much. Even though he had lost his arm, he still thought he was invincible.
In fact, Li Shimin was not blindly confident. He had tested Li Yuanba's combat power.
He asked Li Yuanba to compete with Yang Jian and Kong Peng. Although they both lost, it was only a pity that he lost to Kong Peng.
Therefore, Li Shimin speculated that the current one-armed Li Yuanba should be weaker than Li Cunxiao, Yang Jian, Sun Lingming, and Xingtian, and second only to Jiang Song and Kong Peng.
As for Yuwen Chengdu, there is obviously still a big gap between Jiang Song and Kong Peng, so Li Yuanba's current strength should still be higher than Yuwen Chengdu.
Li Shimin obviously ignored one point, that is, sparring is different from a life and death fight, and he did not expect that Yu Wencheng would make a breakthrough quietly.
For those who are in the top ten of the military generals list, any breakthrough is not always a big deal. For example, Lu Bu reluctantly broke through at the risk of his life.
However, Yuwen Chengdu did not alarm anyone. After he had accumulated enough, he successfully achieved a breakthrough.
"Xu..."
Yuwen Chengdu restrained the red charcoal fire dragon colt and looked at Li Yuanba opposite with a complicated expression.
It was obviously the same person, but for some reason, the person in front of him could not coincide with the Li Yuanba in his memory.
"Long time no see, Li Yuanba." Yuwen Chengdu said.
"It didn't take long actually."
Li Yuanba's eyes flashed with meaning as he recalled, and then he smiled and said: "Yuwen Chengdu, if you are like Pei Yuanqing and think you can defeat me even if I have a broken hand, then you are destined to be disappointed."
This time Li Yuanba did not use "defeated generals" to humiliate Yuwen Chengdu. Obviously, Yuwen Chengdu's status in his heart was completely different from that of Pei Yuanqing.
Pei Yuanqing was also unlucky. As the third hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, in terms of strength, he was not much worse than Yuwen Chengdu. However, Yuwen Chengdu became a super general before him, so the gap between the two only widened. The bigger.
Unless Pei Yuanqing also becomes a super general, he will never catch up with Yuwen Chengdu in this life.
After Yuwen Chengdu heard this, a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Don't look down on others too much. You have been getting weaker, but I have become stronger."
"Really, then I really want to see it, but..."
At this point, Li Yuanba changed his tone and asked: "Is it really okay for you and me to fight?
The current Qin army only has a few strong generals. If you, the strongest, are held back by me, Wang Jian will not have many men available.
Aren't you afraid that the Qin army will be defeated? "
The more Yuwen Chengdu listened, the more surprised he became. Is this what Li Yuanba should say? Are you afraid that someone took your body away?
He thought that Li Yuanba had just returned to the intelligence level of an ordinary person, but now it seemed that Li Yuanba was far smarter than he thought, and he could even analyze the problem from Qin Jun's perspective.
Yuwen Chengdu was not the reckless man like Pei Yuanqing, so he would not be led away by Li Yuanba. He shook his head and said: "The outcome of this battle has nothing to do with me. My mission is to defeat you and avenge my previous shame."
Li Yuanba frowned when he heard this. In his impression, Yuwen Chengdu was not such a careless person. When he was thinking, Yuwen Chengdu didn't give him a chance to think at all, and directly rode over to kill him.
[Ding dong, Yuwen Chengdu’s skill ‘Thunder God’ is activated...]
The gold-plated phoenix wing in Yuwen Chengdu's hand was instantly wrapped in purple inner energy, and there was a flash of lightning, and the sound of 'Pots Potz' was made, and the roar of thunder and lightning was endless.
boom……
The boring hammers collided with an extremely terrifying impact force, and the resulting wind pressure actually exploded, continuously exploding several meters away from the two of them.
jump jump jump……
Seeing such a terrifying scene, both the Qin and Tang armies were stunned and dumbfounded.
When Li Shimin saw this, his expression became extremely ugly. His strength was not weak, so he could naturally tell that Yuwen Chengdu had made a breakthrough.
"Damn it, even Yuwen Chengdu is so strong, Ying Hao, why are you always so lucky?"
Li Shimin's face was distorted, and he felt jealous in his heart.
[Ding dong, Yuwen Chengdu's skill 'Tianbao' is activated...]
[Li Yuanba’s skills...]
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had exchanged dozens of blows. Every move and every move was head-on. However, Yuwen Chengdu did not fall at a disadvantage. Instead, he became more and more courageous as he fought.
Seeing this, Wang Jian was completely relieved and said to his left and right: "The situation is as planned."
"promise."
Gongsun Xuanyuan, Gongsun Yan, Wen Zhong and other generals shouted in unison, and then they all returned to their headquarters to lead the army into action.
The battle between Yuwen Chengdu and Li Yuanba was extremely fierce and exciting, and attracted the attention of most people in the Tang army, except for one person, Ji Fa.
Ji Fa, who had just been defeated, was not attracted by the battle between the two. Instead, he had been observing the movements of the Qin army.
As soon as he saw the change in the Qin army's deployment, Ji Fa immediately reported: "My lord, the Qin army has become restless. Gongsun Yan's troops have begun to move."
When Li Shimin heard this, he quickly picked up his telescope and saw that the Qin army was decisively mobilizing. He couldn't help but sneered: "How dare you, Wang Jian, to take action before me. I will admire his courage."
"Lord, do you want to recall General Li Yuanba?" Changsun Wuji said.
After Li Shimin thought for a while, he shook his head and said: "No, although Yuwen Chengdu has made a breakthrough, he still will not be Yuanba's opponent.
When Yuanba defeats Yuwen Chengdu, it will also dampen the morale of the Qin army, and we will feel more relaxed here. "
"This... okay." Changsun Wuji sighed.
Seeing this, Li Shimin ordered: "Changsun Wuji, Zhao She, Yuwentai, Xu Rong, and Li Keyong, the five of you should return to the formation quickly and wait for my military order without making any mistakes."
"promise."
Changsun Wuji, Zhao She and other five people shouted in unison.
