Chapter 2625: Zhang Ren's swan song, Li Yuanba is on the way
Chapter 2625: Zhang Ren’s swan song, Li Yuanba appears
Zhang Ren's great merit is obviously not that easy to obtain. Although Hua Xiong wanted to monopolize it, he realized that he had underestimated this Confucian general after fighting against Zhang Ren.
Zhang Ren's basic martial arts has reached 103 (+7) points, and he has already mastered the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear. His spear skills are dexterous and sharp. Hua Xiong, who has a basic martial arts of 100 (+5), is naturally no match for him.
Hua Xiong fought with him for only a few moves, but was overshadowed by Zhang Ren's quick spear. He retreated steadily, with almost only the power to parry.
If Hua Xiong hadn't been on the battlefield and had rich combat experience, and had competed with Zhang Xiu, who also had mastered the Hundred Birds Chao Phoenix Spear, he would have become the target of Zhang Ren's spear long ago.
Seeing that the injuries on his body were getting worse, although Hua Xiong wanted to retreat, he was entangled by Zhang Ren and couldn't drag him away. He couldn't even run away, and he felt cruel in his heart.
"His grandma wants to kill me, and you have to pay the price."
Hua Xiong gathered all his strength in his hands, roaring and wielding his strongest sword.
[Dingdong, Hua Xiong’s skill ‘Critical Strike’ is activated, force +6.
Hua Xiong’s basic strength is 100 (+5), Cold Wind Dragon Sword +1, Sword God +4, and the current strength has increased to 111;]
Facing Hua Xiong's most powerful sword, Zhang Ren counterattacked calmly.
[Dingdong, Zhang Ren’s skill ‘Iron Wall’ effect 1 is activated. When fighting a defensive war, the commander +4, the force +4, the morale of the whole army, combat power...are partially improved.
Zhang Ren’s basic strength is 103 (+7), the Pear Blossom Tornado Gun is +1, the Gunslinger is +4, and the current strength has increased to 112;]
How could Zhang Ren, whose commander attribute is only 98 (+3), be able to block the combined efforts of Li Jing and Han Xin, commanders 103, and Wu Qi, commander 104?
In addition to the fact that Hanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the main reason is because of the 'Iron Wall' skill, which gives Zhang Ren a terrifying increase when fighting defensive battles.
If Zhang Ren's commander-in-chief only has 98 points, even if he occupies a favorable location, he will not be able to block Li Jing, Wu Qi and others for so long by himself.
But with the increase of Iron Wall, Zhang Ren's commander attribute will be as high as 102 points. In the case of defense, even if Li Jing, Han Xin and others join forces, it will take a lot of means to defeat him.
Based on Zhang Ren's experience in original history, it was almost impossible to awaken the skill of 'Iron Wall'. However, under Liu Yu's heavy use in this life, most of the battles Zhang Ren fought were defensive battles.
Perhaps it was this experience, as well as his status as the Grand Governor of the Shu Han Dynasty, that allowed Zhang Ren to awaken to the powerful skill of 'Iron Wall'.
nail……
The swords and guns collided, making a sharp metal collision sound.
But Hua Xiong, who was tall and strong, tried his best with his sword, but not only failed to kill Zhang Ren, but was still held tightly by Zhang Ren's spear.
"Liangzhou Huaxiong, it's nothing more than that." Zhang Ren said coldly.
After saying that, Zhang Ren used all his strength to push away Hua Xiong's sword, then turned around and kicked Hua Xiong directly in the chest, cracking even the armor made of fine steel.
"puff……"
Hua Xiong violently vomited a large mouthful of blood. Taking advantage of the gap where his bodyguards were desperately trying to stop Zhang Ren, he quickly stood up as his luck recovered, only to find that Zhang Ren was already close to Chi Chi.
Through the previous fight, Hua Xiong had realized that Zhang Ren was stronger than him, but he never expected that Zhang Ren would be so much stronger than him.
Once upon a time, he, Hua Xiong, was one of the top three generals in Liangzhou, and he was a person on the list of powerful generals. Although he was ranked relatively low, he was still on the list.
But since then, there have been endless heroes in the world, and veterans like him seem to have been eliminated by the times.
And after experiencing failure once, no matter how hard he worked and practiced, he was never able to make it to the top of the general list again, even the 72nd seat at the bottom.
Now he can't even defeat Zhang Ren, who is not known for his martial arts.
It seems that he is really out of touch with the times and will be eliminated by the times.
"I never expected that I, Hua Xiong, would die here."
Hua Xiong's face was full of bitterness, but his heart was extremely unwilling.
I thought Hua Xiong had gone through four masters and finally met the Ming master. He was thinking about showing off his skills and becoming a general, but he didn't want to encounter a powerful enemy like Zhang Ren again.
"I won't die here."
Hua Xiong roared at Zhang Ren with a fierce look, and under the stimulation of the strong desire for survival, his originally groggy head became much clearer, and the hidden power in his inner body was released.
[Ding Dong, Hua Xiong breaks his own bottleneck, and his basic force is permanently +1. The current five dimensions are: Commander 81 (+2), Force 101 (+6), Intelligence 63 (+1), Politics 56 (+2), Charm 77 (+1).】
"Huh? A breakthrough?"
After Zhang Ren killed all his guards, he was surprised when he saw Hua Xiong breaking through before the battle.
"Then I can't keep you."
Zhang Ren stepped forward and swept away the blow with the spear in his hand. Hua Xiong quickly blocked it. Although he barely blocked the blow, he was also swept away.
Zhang Ren continued to follow up, and was about to take advantage of Hua Xiong's lack of reaction to kill Hua Xiong with one shot. Li Siben arrived in time and blocked the fatal blow for Hua Xiong.
After the fall of Li Tang, Li Siben, who originally would rather die than surrender, chose to surrender to the Qin Dynasty under the persuasion of Fu Cunshen and Sun Chongjin.
Li Siben knew that his status as a demoted general from Li Tang was still somewhat embarrassing in the Qin army, so he worked extremely hard in whatever he did. He basically did whatever his superiors said.
Now that he saw Hua Xiong in danger, Li Siben still felt a little dissatisfied with Hua Xiong, who had rebelled against Li Tang, but he did not dare not to save him.
Li Siben originally planned to laugh at Hua Xiong after rescuing him, but he couldn't even defeat Zhang Ren.
But when he felt the power coming from the weapon, Li Siben's expression suddenly changed. He had no idea that Zhang Ren had such strength.
Like Hua Xiong before the breakthrough, Li Siben also had 100 (+2) base points. Facing Zhang Ren with 103 points, he was naturally not good enough. He fell into decline after just a few moves.
Seeing that Li Siben was defeated by Zhang Ren, Hua Xiong came to help with his injured body. With the two of them joining forces, although the situation was much better, they were still defeated by Zhang Ren.
In less than five rounds of fighting, Li Siben already suffered three gunshot wounds. When he was about to be defeated, Sun Chongjin and Fu Cunxen arrived with their troops again.
Hua Xiong and Li Siben, who were injured, joined forces with Sun Chongjin and Fu Cunshen, who were in their prime. The four generals joined forces to fight against Zhang Ren, the governor of the Shu Han Dynasty.
While the five men were fighting, Wu Qi, Zhang Xiu, Ma Dai, Pang De and other generals also led their troops to attack the south gate.
Wu Qi saw that Zhang Ren led his troops to cut off the rear, but Liu Er, Kong Peng and others were nowhere to be found. He knew that most of the main force of the Shu army had withdrawn, but he did not care about this, and instead dispatched troops to prepare to completely defeat the Shu army at the south gate. .
Under the siege of many elite Qin troops, the Shu troops who stayed behind at the south gate suffered heavy casualties. The main force could still hold on, but the young and strong men could not hold on any longer and chose to surrender.
[Dingdong, Zhang Ren’s skill ‘Iron Wall’ effect 2 is activated, the entire army suffers nearly half casualties, the commander +1, and the entire army’s force +1;
Currently, Zhang Ren’s commander-in-chief has increased to 103, and his force has increased to 113;]
A large number of young men and women died in battle and surrendered, which enabled the 'iron wall' effect 2 to be activated in advance. In addition, the coach Zhang Ren set an example and fought to the death on the front line. This also made the Shu army's fighting will more firm. The Qin army wanted to win in the short term.
Defeating it inside is obviously not easy.
While the two sides were fighting fiercely, Zhang Ren, who was surrounded by four generals, suppressed Hua Xiong's four generals.
If the four of them were all divine generals, they might be able to defeat Zhang Ren, but Sun Chongjin and Fu Cunshen were both superb generals and could exert divine general-level combat power, but there was obviously a gap between them and real divine generals.
Hua Xiong and Li Siben were both injured, so even if the four of them joined forces, they still couldn't defeat Zhang Ren.
Hua Xiong's injury became more serious due to successive battles and he had to withdraw from the game, while Ma Dai took his place in time.
Ma Dai has already reached the top level at a young age and has great potential, but there is obviously still a big gap between him and the realm of divine generals. Therefore, his supplementary skills not only cannot make up for Hua Xiong's vacancy, but also widen the gap between the two sides.
the gap between.
"A hundred birds shoot at the phoenix spear."
Zhang Ren saw that the cooperation between the four generals was not tacit, and discovered the flaw in the opponent's moves. He immediately gave up his defense and tried his best to use his famous trick, Hundred Birds Shooting Phoenix Spear.
[Dingdong, Zhang Ren’s skill ‘Death Will’ is activated. When facing a desperate situation, the stronger the will to die in his heart, the stronger his combat power. Every time he activates his force +2, it can be activated up to 3 times;
The current force is +2, and Zhang Ren’s force has increased to 115;]
After Zhang Ren swung his gun with all his strength, a phoenix shadow condensed from his inner energy rose directly into the air, and then swooped down. Under the violent impact, it blasted away all four generals: Li Siben, Sun Chongjin, Fu Cunxen, and Ma Dai.
Get off the horse.
"Huhu..."
Zhang Ren gasped violently. Although he defeated four generals in a row with this move, it still consumed a lot of him. Moreover, Ma Dai even slashed his back with a knife, which was regarded as a life-exchange move.
It was a pity that Zhang Ren failed to kill Hua Xiong. Naturally, he couldn't let these four generals run away, so he immediately prepared to finish the attack, but was blocked by a silver gun, and the one used by the opponent was actually Bainiaochao.
Phoenix Spear.
"It's you, senior brother."
When Zhang Ren saw that it was Zhang Xiu who took action, he knew that he had no chance to kill Li Siben and the four others, so he took the initiative to stop and delay the attack while recovering his physical strength.
Seeing that Zhang Ren did not continue to attack, Zhang Xiu thought that Zhang Ren could be persuaded, so he said: "Second Junior Brother, you can't escape anymore, why don't you surrender to our Great Qin?"
Zhang Ren's expression changed, he pointed his silver spear at Zhang Xiu, and said coldly: "The traitors of the Han Dynasty are not at odds with each other. I swear to the death that I will not surrender to the Qin Dynasty."
Seeing Zhang Ren's resolute attitude, Zhang Xiu became a little anxious and immediately continued to persuade him, but Zhang Ren didn't say a word.
Outside the field, Wu Qi saw that Zhang Ren was secretly recovering his strength, and thought that Zhang Ren's battle with five generals in a row would definitely consume a lot of money, and the difficulty of capturing him alive would be greatly reduced, so he issued an order to capture him alive.
Wu Qi's idea was very simple. Zhang Ren was not only the Commander-in-Chief of Hanzhong in the Shu Han Dynasty, but also a disciple of Master Tong Yuan. He and the two generals Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu were brothers. If he could surrender, there would be many benefits, so he would naturally try to capture him alive.
.
What Wu Qi didn't know was that it was precisely because of his order that Zhang Xiu almost died at the hands of Zhang Ren.
Zhang Xiunian and Zhang Ren were brothers in the same sect, so he had no murderous intentions. He thought that Zhang Ren did not have much fighting power and wanted to capture him alive, so he naturally kept his hand at everything.
But Zhang Ren didn't care about his friendship at all, and resorted to ruthless moves that pointed directly at Zhang Xiu's vital points. He even resorted to exchanging lives for lives, hoping to perish together with Zhang Xiu.
[Dingdong, Zhang Ren’s skill ‘Death Will’ is activated, force +2+2, Zhang Ren’s force increases to 119; ]
Zhang Xiu did not expect Zhang Ren to be so decisive. He was caught off guard and did not dare to fight Zhang Ren. However, his retreat played into Zhang Ren's hands.
Naturally, Zhang Ren would not let go of such a good opportunity. He responded with a carbine, stabbing Zhang Xiu in the left shoulder, directly causing him to lose his combat effectiveness. If Pound hadn't taken action in time, Zhang Xiu would have been in real danger.
Zhang Xiu showed mercy, but almost died at the hands of Zhang Ren. With this lesson in front of him, Pang De naturally did not dare to show mercy.
Zhang Ren fought against Hua Xiong, Zhang Xiu and other six generals, and most of his strength had been consumed. At this time, he was not only exhausted, but also seriously injured. He was no match for Pound in his prime.
But even so, Zhang Ren still used his last strength and used the Hundred Birds Shooting Phoenix Spear, and Pound responded with his strongest blow.
Pang De went all out, each sword was heavier than the other. The weapons of the two sides collided more than ten times. Zhang Ren finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the spear in his hand flew away. Pang De, who had no time to stop the attack, cut him in half.
Dying in pain and wailing.
Looking at Zhang Ren struggling in pain, a complex look flashed in Zhang Xiu's eyes.
Maybe Zhang Ren wanted to kill him in the eyes of outsiders, but Zhang Xiu himself knew that Zhang Renqi had stopped, otherwise the previous shot could have penetrated his shoulder, and An Jin could have destroyed him
Zang-fu, but Zhang Ren didn't do that, he showed mercy.
Zhang Xiu couldn't bear the pain of his junior brother Zhang Ren, so he stepped forward and stabbed him in the throat. Not only did Zhang Ren's eyes not have any hatred, but they were filled with gratitude and relief.
In this way, after defeating six Qin generals in a row, Zhang Ren, the commander-in-chief of Shu Han and Hanzhong, died of exhaustion under Pang De's sword.
[Ding Dong, Pang De’s Jiwu 102 (+4), kill Zhang Ren’s Jiwu 103 (+7), and the reward is permanent +1 Jiwu.
Pound's current five dimensions: Commander 83 (+1), Force 103 (+5), Intelligence 74 (+1), Politics 62, Charisma 82 (+1);]
After Zhang Ren died in battle, the morale of the Shu army at the south gate plummeted, and many people directly chose to surrender. However, the part of the Ai army that continued to resist stubbornly was divided and surrounded by the Qin army until it was completely destroyed.
"Lord Governor, we have been held at the south gate by Zhang Ren for too long. If we send troops to pursue him now, we may not be able to catch him," Li Maozhen said.
Wu Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, we don't need to chase him. The Governor must have sent people to chase him long ago."
Wu Qi's guess was correct. Li Jing had already prepared for the pursuit, so he reserved ten thousand iron weapons in advance. This cavalry did not attack the city, but waited for the Shu army to escape from the city and pursue it.
Li Jing sent Yang Jian and Xuanyuan to lead the cavalry to pursue him. He should have been sure of it, but he never expected that the pursuit would not go smoothly. Not only did he fail to retain the main force of 30,000 Shu troops, but he also lost a war god.
A powerful general.
"What? Li Yuanba appeared in Li Siyuan's army?" Li Jing asked with a shocked look on his face.
