Chapter 2626: Li Siyuan wants to go to the Western Regions, Li Yuanba kills Ma Shanwei

 Since the fall of Li Tang, Li Yuanba has not appeared.

 Many people speculated that he either died from his injuries, or that Li Shimin's death was such a heavy blow to him that he was so depressed that he lived in seclusion in the mountains and did not care about the world.

 After all, what can we do if we don’t live in seclusion? Li Yuanba, who had broken an arm, was no longer the most powerful general in the world. He alone was destined to be unable to take revenge.

Most people thought that Li Yuanba would never appear again, but now he appeared on the battlefield in Hanzhong and saved the main force of 30,000 Shu troops in one action.

 After Shen Shiqi, Liu Er, Kong Peng, Zhang Hao and others escaped from Nanzheng, they did not flee south. Instead, they fled west, and their destination was naturally Dingjun Mountain.

 The reason why he did not flee south but to the west was naturally to get rid of the Qin army's pursuit.

From the fact that Li Jing was short of three in the siege but did not set up an ambush in the south, it can be seen that Li Jing was confident in the pursuit. As long as the Shu army escaped from Nanzheng City, they would not be able to escape the Qin army's pursuit.

Although the distance to escape from Jiange is close to the south, it is difficult to escape the pursuit of the Qin army's cavalry. While the distance to the west from Jiange is farther, as long as you escape to Dingjun Mountain, you can temporarily escape the danger and slowly retreat to Jiange.

As early as the fall of Yangpingguan, Shen Shiqi had predicted that Nanzheng would fall one day, so he naturally made preparations in advance and established a stronghold at Dingjun Mountain early. Although it was impossible to hold on for long, It is enough to temporarily block the Qin army.

Shen Shi sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to pretend to be a 30,000-strong army retreating south to attract the attention of the Qin army, while he himself led the main army to retreat to Dingjun Mountain.

Neither Yang Jian nor Gongsun Xuanyuan thought that in such a desperate situation, Shen Shiqi could still give him a Li Dai Tao Zang. They were eager to pursue, so naturally they did not realize that they were chasing in the wrong direction.

But when he was about to catch up after chasing for more than ten miles, Xuanyuan discovered something was wrong. The footsteps of the Shu army were too sparse, and it did not look like the signs left by the passing of 30,000 troops.

Yang Jian immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap, so he ordered Kang Anyu to lead a thousand cavalry to continue the pursuit south. After all, although there were few living Shu troops heading south, mosquitoes were still meat no matter how small they were. And he and Xuanyuan led nine thousand The cavalry turned back and pursued westward at full speed.

After several hours of rapid march, Yang Jian finally caught up with the main force of the Shu army, which was five miles east of Dingjun Shandong.

Shen Shiqi did not expect that the Qin army would come so quickly. Although Dingjun Mountain was close at hand, it was far away in the horizon. It was impossible to continue retreating and could only turn back and fight to the death with the Qin army.

There are nearly 10,000 Qin army cavalry chasing them. It is not easy to repel these nearly 10,000 Qin army cavalry with only 30,000 low morale infantry cavalry.

Although Shen Shiqi was a scribe, he was also prepared to die in battle. He knew that this time it was really dangerous, but he did not expect that after the two sides started fighting, Li Siyuan's troops suddenly appeared to meet the Shu army.

Since the beginning of the war between Qin and Shu, Zhang Ren called Li Siyuan more than once to come to support, but Li Siyuan was always put off by Li Siyuan on the grounds that he was unwell and unfit to go into battle.

 Zhang Ren and Shen Shiqi both knew that Li Siyuan was ambitious, and this was just an excuse for him to preserve his strength, but they did not dare to force him too much.

 After all, Li Siyuan was really pushed into a panic and if he surrendered to Da Qin, it would be a disaster for Shu Han.

Shen Shiqi no longer had any expectations for Li Siyuan, and just hoped that he would not cause trouble for the Shu Han. However, he did not expect that at his most dangerous moment, it would be Li Siyuan, an ambitious man, who would lend a helping hand.

Li Siyuan originally had no intention of rescuing Shen Shiqi. He had no loyalty to Liu Yu. He surrendered to Shu Han just to accumulate strength, so he did not participate in the entire war between Qin and Shu.

 In Li Siyuan's eyes, he was an outsider in this battle.

If Da Qin wins, he will evacuate Hanzhong, retreat to Haizhou, borrow the Sui Kingdom, and go to the Western Regions.

If the Shu Han wins, he will continue to separate the two counties of Hanzhong. After his strength is further expanded, he will look for opportunities to break away from the Shu Han and borrow a road from Yang Guang to go to the Western Regions.

That's right, after Li Tang destroyed the country, Li Siyuan gave up hope on the situation in the Central Plains. After all, Da Qin's strength was indeed too strong, and it had no weaknesses. Even Li Shimin was not Ying Hao's opponent, and Liu Yu, Liu Xiu and others How could it be possible to stop Ying Hao?

Although Li Siyuan was ambitious and unwilling to submit to anyone, he was not stupid. He knew that he would lose, so he naturally did not dare to make an enemy of Da Qin.

Shenzhou must not be able to stay anymore. Sooner or later, this place will be the territory of Great Qin, so where should I go?

Just after Ye Qingmei returned from the Western Regions, the "Wanguo Kanyu Map" also spread. In addition, after Ji Changji temporarily surrendered to Yang Guang, she now also opened up a situation in the Western Regions and became a force, so the Western Regions and Central Asia This area also came into Li Siyuan's sight.

The heart is like a galloping horse on the plains, easy to let go but hard to take back.

 Since Li Siyuan's ambition has been released, he can never take it back.

He wants to be king and hegemony, but since the Central Plains does not allow it, he has no choice but to go to other lands. After all, the world outside the Central Plains is equally vast.

  They are all rulers anyway, Han people and foreigners are all the same in Li Siyuan's eyes.

 As for whether the foreign people will accept his rule?

 This is not within the scope of Li Siyuan's consideration.

 Hongnu, Qiang, Baiyue and other foreign ethnic groups were all well ruled by the Han people.

After thinking about this, Li Siyuan only felt full of motivation for the future. He pretended to submit to Liu Yu just to prepare for the Western Regions and accumulate strength.

Liu Yu knew that Li Siyuan was ambitious, but he still dared to recruit him. First, the situation at the time forced him to do so, and second, as long as Li Siyuan still had ambitions, he would definitely become an enemy of Qin, so he was confident that he could control him.

But Liu Yu would never have thought that Li Siyuan did still have ambitions, but his heart was no longer in the East. Instead, he had flown to the Western Regions and Central Asia, intending to show off his talents in this area.

Although Li Siyuan was not prepared to interfere in the battle between Qin and Shu, he did not want the Shu army to be defeated too badly and too quickly. After all, if the Qin army was unified too quickly, then he would not be stable even if he went to the Western Regions.

What Li Siyuan didn't expect was that even though they were surrounded by natural danger and had more troops than the Qin army, the Shu army still failed to defend Yangping Pass.

Once Yangping Pass was lost, it was only a matter of time before Hanzhong fell, and Li Siyuan had to implement his plan to retreat to Haizhou in advance and then go to the Western Regions.

Even though Li Siyuan only has two counties in Hanzhong, he still has a lot of things to move. After all, he inherited part of Li Tang's legacy, and the craftsmen, equipment, technology, and money and food under his rule will all be the basis for his future in China. Asian capital.

Li Siyuan's arrangement in Hanzhong cannot be relocated in the short term, and once the main force of the Shu army is wiped out, the Qin army will probably take advantage of the lack of Shu army troops to continue to attack Jiange. Once Jiange falls, the Shu Han will be completely finished. .

After thinking about it, Li Siyuan needed the Shu Han ally to stand in front of him to delay the unification of the Qin Dynasty and buy time for his own rise. Therefore, after the fall of Nanzheng again, he came to relieve the 30,000 Shu army that was overtaken by Yang Jian.

Shortly before Li Siyuan sent troops, Li Yuanba, who had disappeared for a long time, came to the door and attached his left arm to Li Yuanba.

Li Siyuan didn't know how Li Yuanba connected his left arm, and he didn't dare to ask. He was afraid that Li Yuanba would pursue him for surrendering to the Shu Han, and he was worried that Li Yuanba would slap him to death. After Li Siyuan came to Shu, he obtained the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Jue from Liu Yu, which complemented his own Holy Qiankun Gong. Although he has now broken through the master realm and his strength has greatly increased, for Li Yuanba, it is just a one-shot deal.

What Li Siyuan didn't expect was that Li Yuanba was no longer as irritable as before. Instead of accusing Li Siyuan of surrendering to the Shu Han, he actually let Li Siyuan rescue the 30,000 Shu troops who were interrogating him.

Li Siyuan was relieved after hearing this. He had been preparing to send troops, so the two sides naturally hit it off, and Li Yuanba also temporarily joined Li Siyuan's command.

After Yang Jian caught up with him, he directly attacked the Shu army. After receiving the news, Shen Shiqi also formed a formation in advance and prepared for the battle.

But in the plains, how can the 30,000 Shu troops with low morale be a match for the 9,000 Da Qin cavalry with high morale?

In just the first round of charge, the defensive formation formed by 30,000 Shu troops was like paper and was directly torn apart by the Qin cavalry.

If it weren't for the three war gods Liu Er, Kong Peng and Zhang Hao sitting in command, I'm afraid there would have been a large number of deserters.

 Even though the three generals Liu Er were strong, they could not reverse this losing war by themselves.

 “It’s over.”

Looking at the increasingly chaotic military formation, Shen Shi closed his eyes in despair. Although the Shu army had not yet been completely defeated, it was already a matter of time.

But at this moment, Shen Shiqi received the news that Li Siyuan led an army of 30,000 to come to meet him.

"Sirs, reinforcements are coming. As long as we persist until the end, victory in this battle will be ours."

Shen Shi shouted hysterically, no longer as elegant and calm as before. His words also inspired the Shu army to fight to the death, and their morale actually bottomed out.

Yang Jian also clearly felt that the resistance of the Shu army had become stronger, and received news that Li Siyuan's 30,000-strong army was about to arrive. However, at this time, the Qin army was already fighting with the Shu army, and it was obviously impossible to withdraw from the battlefield. so easy.

Yang Jian wanted to defeat the Shu army before Li Siyuan arrived, but after knowing that reinforcements were coming, the Shu army's morale improved and their will to resist became extremely firm. Even the Qin army could not defeat it in such a short period of time.

In addition, Li Siyuan was already on horseback and asked Li Yuanba to lead 5,000 cavalry to take the lead, so he arrived at the battlefield in time and joined forces with Shen Shi to attack the Qin army.

 After Li Siyuan arrived, the battle changed to 60,000 versus 9,000.

However, the Qin army was full of cavalry. Even if the number of enemy troops was more than six times that of its own, it still did not lose at all.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the flanks of the Qin army were defeated by Li Siyuan's army.

At this time, the Qin army's battle situation was very good. Zhang Hao had been severely injured by Xuanyuan. Although Xuanyuan was also injured, he was still able to entangle Liu Er.

As long as Yang Jian defeated Kong Peng and the middle army of the Shu army, even if the Qin army defeated the larger army with less and defeated the 60,000-strong army with 9,000 cavalry, news of the flank defeat came at this time.

General Yang Jian knew that Li Siyuan was coming fiercely, but since he couldn't allocate too many troops, he sent the three war gods Yang Ren, Long Xuhu, and Ma Shanwei to the flanks to reduce the pressure on the flanks.

Yang Jian's arrangement was foolproof. After all, the three gods of war could withstand an army of three thousand. Even if the troops were insufficient, they could still stop Li Siyuan. However, he never expected that Li Yuanba was in Li Siyuan's army.

Among the three generals Yang Ren, Long Xuhu, and Ma Shanwei, Zhang Ren is a skill-type general, while Long Xuhu and Ma Shanwei are both strength-type, but the general with the most powerful talent in the world is Li Yuanba.

Even Li Cunxiao and Xiang Yu are not as good as Li Yuanba in terms of pure strength, let alone Longxuhu and Ma Shanwei?

Although Dragon Beard Tiger is strong, his combat IQ is not high. He is simple-minded and directly confronts Li Yuanba head-on. As a result, he only received three strikes from Li Yuanba before he suffered severe internal injuries and left the game vomiting blood.

Yang Ren and Ma Shanwei learned the lesson of the dragon-bearded tiger and no longer faced Li Yuanba head-on. However, it was obvious that they could not stop Li Yuanba for too long just by joining forces with their two gods of war.

After Li Yuanba received Bu Jingyun's Qilin Arm, he did not return to his peak combat power, but he has also returned to the first echelon. He may be a little weaker than Yang Jian, Xing Tian and the like, but he is obviously not the same. The God of War with a base of 105 can stop it.

Yang Ren and Ma Shanwei tried their best, but only lasted twenty rounds before they were both seriously injured and had to escape separately.

Li Yuanba, however, only followed Ma Shanwei. The reason was naturally that Ma Shanwei surrendered to Da Qin after betraying Li Tang, and what he hated most were traitors.

Seeing that Li Yuanba was only pursuing him, Ma Shanwei said angrily: "Li Yuanba, I fought until the last moment and was captured alive before surrendering to Qin. I am worthy of your Li family, so don't push people too hard."

Li Yuanba turned a deaf ear, as if he would not give up until Ma Shanwei was killed.

Ma Shanwei was completely anxious when he saw this. While recovering his strength, he was also preparing his strongest attack. After all, he couldn't wait to be killed.

Seeing Li Yuanba chasing after him, Ma Shanwei suddenly fired his carbine, the tip of the spear pointed directly at Li Yuanba's throat.

"go to hell."

Ma Shanwei roared hysterically.

  【Ding dong, Ma Shanwei breaks his own limit, his force is permanently +1, and his base force increases to 106;

 Ma Shanwei’s basic strength is 106, Seven-Kill Overlord Spear +1, Curly Lion Black +1, Gun God +4, Furious War +14, Intelligence -56, Military God +2.

Ma Shan’s current power has increased by 128, and his intelligence has dropped to 3 points]

Under the huge desire to survive, Ma Shanwei actually broke through his own limits, breaking through to the level of 106 points of basic force, and fired a carbine with 128 points of force.

If facing Li Yuanba who is in the one-armed state, Ma Shanwei still has a chance, but after regaining his left arm, Li Yuanba's base strength has recovered to 108 points. Once the two major skills of Breaking Hard and Fury Hammer are activated, the force value is ten points. You can easily reach over 130 points.

  So 128 Ma Shanwei has no chance at all.

Li Yuanba raised the hammer with his right hand and easily blocked Ma Shanwei's carbine. The sledgehammer with his left hand hit Ma Shanwei's chest without hesitation, and the huge impact was enough to blow him away for dozens of seconds. meters away.
