Chapter 2529 Qin and Shu stops the battle, Wu and Chu confront each other


    Chapter 2526: Qin and Shu stop fighting, Wu and Chu confront each other


    After three rounds of battle, Li Cunxiao was surprised to find that Xing Tian''s power was actually a little stronger than him.


    Among the opponents he encountered, only Li Yuanba was slightly stronger than Xing Tian in terms of strength.


    Of course, if strength reaches the level of Li Cunxiao, strength is no longer a decisive factor in combat. Clever strength, hidden strength, and the use of qi are more important.


    But if you compare pure power alone, Li Yuanba is the most well-deserved number one in the world. Even if he cuts off his hand, it is not much better than Li Cunxiao Xingtian and others.


    In addition to strength, Li Cunxiao discovered that Xing Tian’s internal and external skills were also extremely powerful.


    Compared with Li Cunxiao, who has not yet recovered, Xing Tian’s skills are stronger, but he is inferior to Yang Jian.


    But in the field of external skills? Xing Tian is inferior to Li Cunxiao.


    After all, let alone Xing Tian, ??even Xiang Yu, who had long become a great master, was still inferior to Li Cunxiao in external skills.


    Li Cunxiao is in the field of external skills, Li Yuanba in the field of power, and is in an absolute dominant position.


    After the battle reached ten rounds, Li Cunxiao roughly found out Xing Tian’s background.


    Xing Tian’s strength is not as strong as Li Yuanba, his skills are not as good as Yang Jian, and his physical fitness is not as good as Li Cunxiao. He is not at the top in all aspects, but he is in terms of overall strength, without any shortcomings, and his comprehensive ability is comparable to Li Cunxiao.


    No wonder the other party was able to squeeze into the fourth seat and beat Li Yuanba and Yang Jian. This ranking was a low decision for Xing Tian.


    Although Li Cunxiao is slightly weaker than Xing Tian in terms of strength and skill, his physique and quality of the qi are half stronger than Xing Tian, ??so his overall combat power is naturally above Xing Tian.


    When the battle reached twenty rounds, the balance of victory began to tilt, and Xing Tian gradually fell into a disadvantage.


    However, because Li Cunxiao was entangled by Xing Tian, ??the Qin army that climbed the city tower was outnumbered. After a difficult resistance, they were eventually defeated by the human sea tactics. Most of them were killed on the city tower, and a small number were forcibly driven out of the city.


    Seeing that the soldiers who climbed the city tower were almost dead, Li Cunxiao also knew that this siege was a complete failure, and it would not make much sense to continue to fight. After all, it was impossible to break the city.


    But if you retreat like this, all the sacrifices will be wasted, so Li Cunxiao is naturally unwilling to retreat like this, at least he will have to wait until Xing Tian is severely damaged.


    Xing Tian is not weak, and with the protection of a large army, Li Cunxiao knew that the possibility of killing him was not high, but he was sure of a heavy blow to him one-on-one, but he didn''t expect that there was another Liu Er in Yangping Pass.


    Liu Er saw that only twenty rounds had passed, Xing Tian began to fall into a disadvantage. He thought that Li Cunxiao was indeed well-known, and then he decisively supported him and joined forces with Xing Tian to fight against Li Cunxiao.


    Liu Er''s route is the same as Sun Lingming. He is taking the route of both internal and external cultivation, and his external skills are stronger than internal skills. His overall strength is not weaker than Kong Peng, and he has no obvious weaknesses.


    The chemical effect produced by Liu Er of Jiwu 107 and Xing Tian of Jiwu 109 is not as simple as one plus one equals two. The strong combat power displayed is no less than that of Li Yuanba, Wei Hu, Gao Siji and Li Chunfeng.


    Li Cunxiao did not gain much advantage when he tried his best, so he took the initiative to retreat. After all, this is the enemy''s home court, and it would be meaningless if he continues to fight.


    Seeing Xing Tian and Liu Er joining forces, they blocked Li Cunxiao, the world''s number one, and Li Siyuan was more confident in defending Yangping Pass.


    After Li Cunxiao encountered setbacks in the first battle, he knew that it would be a fantasy to not defeat Xing Tian and Liu Er and seize Yangping Pass.


    Although the Qin army was in Longxi at this time, it failed to completely occupy the three counties in Longxi, so Li Cunxiao could get limited support.


    Li Cunxiao asked for help from Chang''an, while sending secret agents to inquire about the information, but learned that Liu Yu''s vanguard army was coming.


    At this time, there were only more than 10,000 defenders in Yangping Pass, which was so difficult to attack. After the vanguard of the Shu army arrived, the city would be broken away.


    At this time, the siege equipment in the rear had also been delivered, but Li Cunxiao did not have the idea of ??attacking again, but Xing Tian in the pass took the initiative to go out of the city to challenge Li Cunxiao. Can Li Cunxiao still refuse? It just so happened that this opportunity would defeat Xing Tian again to rub the morale of the defenders in the pass.


    Xing Tian was obviously defeated in the battle of the city tower before, but why did he challenge Li Cunxiao again?


    The reason is also very simple. The battle in the city tower was an infantry battle, while Xing Tian was better at cavalry battles. A setback could not convince him, so he was the second challenge to go out of the city.


    Li Siyuan was extremely dissatisfied with Xing Tian’s plan to leave the city. In his opinion, as long as he kept it, he would just hand over Yangping Pass to Liu Yu, so he naturally did not want to make trouble.


    But who is Xing Tian? He was the most powerful general of Shu Han, and he was not willing to surrender to Liu Yu. If his temper really came out, he would not listen to even Liu Yu''s words, let alone the surrendered general Li Siyuan.


    Liu Yu also loved Xing Tian and hated him, and loved his bravery, and hated him for not being able to return to his heart completely. However, Xing Tian was simply serving Shu Han, instead of defecting like Chen Ping, Fan Kuai and Cao Shen, so he had the chance to completely accept Xing Tian.


    Xing Tian directly ignored Li Siyuan and insisted on going out of the city to challenge Li Cunxiao.


    Neither Li Siyuan nor Liu Er could stop him, so he could only send Liu Er and other generals to lead three thousand elite soldiers to accompany Xing Tian out of the city to ensure that Xing Tian could come safely.


    The next day, in front of Yangping Pass, Li Cunxiao also led 3,000 soldiers to fight.


    In front of the two armies, Li Cunxiao and Xing Tian rode out. After spraying each other with garbage, the two agreed to fight one-on-one, and then officially got into the fight.


    I have to say that Xing Tian dares to challenge again and does have his own capital, and his cavalry level is indeed higher than that of infantry battles.


    When fighting against Li Cunxiao in the infantry war, Xing Tian was at a disadvantage after only twenty rounds, but in the cavalry war, he was able to compete with Li Cunxiao in fifty rounds without a distinction.


    After fifty rounds, although Xing Tian began to gradually fall into a disadvantage, he could still remain undefeated. But if he had no help, he would be defeated at most 150 rounds.


    Seeing this, Liu Er decisively came out. Although he was a little disagreeing with Xing Tian, ??he couldn''t stand Xing Tian''s conviction with his elder brother, but after all, they all belonged to Shu Han, so naturally he could watch Xing Tian defeated by Li Cunxiao in everything.


    If Xing Tian, ??the most powerful general of Shu Han, was defeated by Li Cunxiao in public, it would definitely hit the morale of the Shu army. Although fighting more and less violates the principle of fairness, it will at least not affect the morale of the army.


    Xing Tian was not happy with Liu Er''s help. He made a one-on-one appointment with Li Cunxiao before the war, but Liu Er intervened halfway, making him seem unable to afford to lose. Isn''t this almost he without trust?


    Xing Tian is not a person who cannot afford to lose, so he is naturally extremely dissatisfied with Liu Er''s behavior.


    Liu Er was obviously kind to help, but he was thankless. Even if Xing Tian didn''t thank him, he still blamed him, making him not a human inside and outside, but he did not regret his decision.


    The national strength of Qin and Shu is huge. To save his reputation alone to reduce the losses of Shu, this is cost-effective in Liu Er''s eyes. After hearing Liu Er''s words, Xing Tian let go of his grudges. He didn''t care about the one-on-one agreement and wanted to defeat Li Cunxiao in one party, but it was obviously not that easy.


    Xing Tian is good at fighting in the field, and Li Cunxiao is also good at riding skills, and he is more important than him.


    In the infantry battle, Xing Tian and Liu Er can work together to suppress Li Cunxiao, but in the cavalry battle, they can only tie the battle with him.


    Just when the three sides were in a stalemate, another general appeared in the Shu army camp, and it was Kong Peng, who had been defeated by Gongsun Xuanyuan.


    Although Kong Peng had been rebelled by Xuanyuan due to restraint, his overall strength was still very strong, otherwise Liu Yu would not have taken it so seriously.


    The combat effectiveness of Xing Tian, ??Liu Er and Kong Peng, the three of them jointly developed far exceeds that of Li Yuanba in the Chang''an War.


    Even Li Cunxiao, the world''s number one, could not withstand the joint efforts of Xing Tian, ??Liu Er and Kong Peng.


    After only ten rounds of the four, Li Cunxiao was at a disadvantage.


    If he returns to his fullest state, with Li Cunxiao''s strength, he will naturally defeat the three of them and at least be able to draw with him. However, he is indeed not an opponent who has not recovered yet.


    Li Cunxiao knew that it would be a loss if he continued to fight, so he took advantage of the fact that he had not yet lost and ordered the army to launch an attack directly.


    Three thousand Qin troops and three thousand Shu troops then started a melee outside Yangping Pass.


    Li Siyuan originally thought that the three thousand elites outside the city could at least last until Xing Tian and others defeated Li Cunxiao, but he did not want to show a one-sided situation after the fight.


    The three thousand Qin troops brought out by Li Cunxiao were his ace Flying Tiger Army, and the ordinary elite of the Shu army could not stop them at all.


    Seeing that the army outside the city was suffering heavy casualties, if it continued to fight, it might even be defeated by the Qin army. Although Li Cunxiao, who was besieged by Xing Tian and the other two, was at a disadvantage, he did not show any defeat.


    At this time, there were only two roads on the Li Siyuan side:


    First, increase troops.


    But the number of Qin troops outside the city is far above the defenders. If he increases his troops, the Qin army will definitely increase its troops. This is a war of attrition, and it is obviously not what Li Siyuan is willing to see.


    The second is retreat, which is also the one that minimizes the losses.


    Li Siyuan chose the second one and directly called the gold to withdraw the troops. Although Xing Tian and the other two outside the city were unwilling to accept it, they could only choose to obey orders. After all, if they were still outside the city, they would be surrounded by the Qin army.


    The three generals Xing Tian, ??Liu Er and Kong Peng led their troops to fight and retreat, while Li Cunxiao led their troops to chase the city gate, killing two thousand Shu troops, but the casualties were less than two hundred. Only then did they win and return to the camp.


    In the battle of Yangping Pass, although Li Cunxiao was not defeated, he also exposed his trump card, making the Shu army realize that he was not invincible.


    No one can never be defeated, and Li Cunxiao is the same;


    Xing Tian and Liu Er can tie Li Cunxiao by joining forces.


    If Xing Tian, ??Liu Er and Kong Peng join forces, Li Cunxiao will definitely be defeated.


    After these two major wars, Li Cunxiao was no longer brave enough to show his courage, but instead commanded the army to calmly attack the city while Liu Yu''s army had not arrived yet.


    Li Cunxiao mobilized 100 catapults, 30 well railings, and 5,000 powerful crossbows of various types, and divided the 50,000 troops under his command into five units, and began to attack the city day and night.


    Li Cunxiao knew that Yangping Pass was easy to defend but difficult to attack. If it was a strong attack, the loss was too great, so he did not attack. Instead, he was ready to rely on the benefits of armour to consume the defenders in the city little by little.


    Li Cunxiao has a good plan, but his commander attributes are not enough.


    At that time, Li Cunxiao''s command was 96, while Li Siyuan was 98. The command between the two was 2 points different. How could his wishful thinking succeed?


    Li Cunxiao attacked Yangping Pass for ten days, until Liu Yu''s army entered the pass and Wu Qi''s reinforcements arrived, but still did not cause any major damage to Li Siyuan.


    Ying Hao''s first reaction when he learned about this was that Li Cunxiao''s command was still low.


    Li Cunxiao''s reactions at Yangping Pass were correct, but he still did not achieve any results. This is the gap in ability.


    If he had Bai Qi''s commander, how could Li Siyuan defend Yangping Pass?


    "How is the Yangping Pass now?" Ying Hao asked.


    "Report to Your Majesty, the five generals Wu Qi, Wang Jian, Long Qi, Li Maozhen and Fu Cunshen each led 10,000 troops, totaling 50,000 troops, all of which have arrived at Yangping Pass one after another.


    The total number of our Qin army outside Yangping Pass has reached 100,000.


    Liu Yu also led 80,000 Shu troops to Yangping Pass. At present, the number of defenders in Yangping Pass reached 90,000, and the number of troops continued to increase. "Jia Xuhui reported.


    Ying Hao nodded and said, "This battle between Qin, Shu and Chu, Yangping Pass is no longer the main battlefield, the real focus is Jingzhou.


    The commander Li Cunxiao and Wu Qi told them not to attack Yangping Pass for the time being, but the army could not withdraw.


    In the future, these 100,000 troops will be stationed in Yangping Pass and restrain most of the troops of Shu in Hanzhong. ”


    "No."


    "By the way, Yang Guangxin got Haizhou, and there was no more constraints in Guanxi. Next, he would probably take advantage of the war between Qin, Shu and Chu, and take advantage of the chaos in the war, and plot against Liangzhou."


    At this point, Ying Hao ordered again: "Immediately send Li Jing to order him to be alert to Yang Guang and never give the Sui army an opportunity."


    "No."


    With Ying Hao''s order, the Qin and Shu countries in Hanzhong temporarily stopped their troops and truce, but the Chu and Wu countries in Jiangxia fought against each other.
