The addition of fifty new catapults made the defense of Hulao Pass no longer vulnerable. To Qin Hao's surprise, Liu Ye also came with Ran Min.
No one is more familiar with the new catapult than Liu Ye, and Liu Ye is also absolutely number one in accurately calculating the range, so Qin Hao naturally wants to hand over the catapult troops to his command.
Ma Jun did not come, but continued to build new catapults for Qin Hao in Luoyang. Once the new batch was built, they would be shipped together.
After Ran Min arrived at Hulao Pass, he also heard about Xiang Yu's previous battle, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
Ran Min has not encountered an opponent since he left the army. Like Xiang Yu, he has been invincible for too long. Even he himself does not know where his limit is, so he is extremely eager to have an opponent worth fighting.<
/p>
Although he did not witness the battle with his own eyes, Ran Min could feel Xiang Yu's astonishing combat power from the accounts of others.
One against nine, victory;
One against five, win again;
One against three, it’s a draw;
One to one, flat;
Ran Min had also seen all the generals who had fought against Xiang Yu, and judging from their momentum, he knew that none of them were weak.
Would you be able to achieve Xiang Yu's level if you changed yourself?
Ran Min didn't know, but he couldn't wait to fight Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu's record is unrivaled and he is almost recognized as the best general in the world. If he can defeat him, wouldn't the title of the best general in the world belong to him?
Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second.
For military generals, no one can refuse the title of the best general in the world, including Lu Bu and Ran Min.
However, before facing Xiang Yu, Ran Min also had to prepare in advance. After all, not everyone is qualified to challenge the best general in the world. He is just an unknown junior now, so before the decisive battle with Xiang Yu, he must at least make Xiang Yu face up to him.
Qualifications.
How to make Xiang Yu face himself? At least those opponents that Xiang Yu defeated must have the strength to defeat them.
So on the second day after arriving at Hulao Pass, Ran Min began to compete with the generals in the pass to test their martial arts. Of course, they only limited their skills to each other.
After this 'comparison', Ran Min discovered that the quality of the generals in Hulao Pass was actually very few, and they were several grades higher than those in Luoyang. Ran Min felt as if he had arrived in heaven.
Of course, Ran Min also has another purpose for actively competing in martial arts, which is to show his strength to the lord so as to gain Qin Hao's attention.
Although he was recommended by the princess, Ran Min did not want Qin Hao to regard him as a backdoor person. He believed that Qin Hao would look at him differently after seeing his strength.
Qin Hao naturally knew about Ran Min's little thoughts. Not only did he not care, but he was also happy to see the results. After all, this was also a good opportunity to promote his own military force.
In the constant battles, Ran Min became more and more famous. Within three days, Ran Min fought against more than 30 generals and won all the battles.
Now, except for the top generals such as Zhao Yun, all the generals with some strength in the pass have basically been defeated by Ran Min.
Generals like Hua Xiong, even if Ran Min gives in, can't survive the second round.
Yang Lin, Shan Xiongxin, Yu Juluo and other generals who had fought against Xiang Yu, although they were all defeated by Ran Min, they still fought for dozens of rounds.
The one who persisted the longest was Qin Yong, who fought Ran Min alone for fifty rounds before finally losing.
Victory did not inspire arrogance in Ran Min's heart, because he knew that these were just appetizers. In his heart, there were only three people in Hulao Pass who could make him go all out, and that was Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu.
As Ran Min continued to win, and each victory was extremely easy, rumors gradually spread in Hulao Pass that Ran Min was not weaker than Xiang Yu.
These rumors were deliberately spread by Qin Hao to build momentum for Ran Min.
Once Xiang Yu is given the impression of being invincible, whenever he fights against him in the future, his soldiers will be afraid of him. This is something Qin Hao doesn't want to see.
So Qin Hao wants to find another opponent for Xiang Yu, and Ran Min is the best candidate besides Lu Bu.
If you have someone to contend with, you are not invincible. If you can win, you will naturally not be afraid.
Regarding the sudden appearance of such a fierce man in the Yanmen Army, the others were also talking about it, some were surprised, some were jealous, and some were surprised.
Those who were surprised were Ding Yuan and Liu Yu, but they thought it was a good thing. The Han army had such a general, which would also be a help in dealing with the Yellow Turbans.
Jealous people such as Liu Bei and Li Shimin couldn't understand why God favored the Yanmen Army so much and why such a fierce general turned to Qin Hao.
The surprise was naturally Qin Wen's. When his son went to Luoyang, he actually subdued a strong general who was not inferior to Xiang Yu. This was a great surprise to Qin Wen.
But the only fly in the ointment is that Ran Min was actually recommended to his son by Princess Liu, and he was also the princess's personal guard before. This made Qin Wen feel a little confused.
However, Qin Wen believes that with the methods of his father and son, he will be able to completely make Ran Min return.
Ran Min's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and some senior officials even set up a bet on how far Ran Min can challenge.
Some people think that Ran Min is definitely not Guan Zhaolu's opponent, while others think not necessarily, but the final result is beyond everyone's expectations.
On the third day after Ran Min arrived at Hulao Pass, after learning that Zhang Fei was defeated, Guan Yu finally challenged him, but was defeated!
The arrogant Guan Yu discovered that there was another person whose strength surpassed his own. He broke through the battle and his basic force permanently increased by 1 point, reaching the level of 101. However, he still persisted for a hundred rounds and was defeated.
On the fourth day, Zhao Yun went to battle and was defeated in one hundred and fifty rounds!
On the fifth day, Ran Min faced his strongest opponent since his challenge, Lu Bu, whose basic strength had reached 104.
In terms of basic force, Ran Min with 106 is only 2 points higher than Lu Bu, and the gap is not too big.
In terms of skills, between the two of them, although Ran Min's skills are top-notch, Lu Bu's is not bad either.
This time, Ran Min did not win, and the two ended in a draw, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ran Min was stronger.
Both sides are in the same camp, and it is impossible to make a fatal move. However, Ran Min is in a more relaxed state after the war and decides what is high and what is low.
Of course Lu Bu also knew this, and Ran Min, who suddenly appeared and was stronger than himself, felt extremely complicated in his heart.
The battle with Xiang Yu left a great impression on Lu Bu. After the war, his strength was greatly improved compared to before.
Lu Bu originally thought that except Xiang Yu, no one in the world could be his opponent, but He Ran Min stood up and slapped him hard again.
The battle with Ran Min seemed to be a draw, but he was at a disadvantage, and this was the result of his breakthrough in strength.
If you don’t improve yourself, why don’t you go and fight Ran Min?
Lu Bu knew that he would definitely be defeated like Zhao Yun and Guan Yu.
I have become stronger, but besides Xiang Yu, there are people stronger than me.
What happened to this world?
How come there are so many strong men?
While Lu Bu was feeling disappointed, he couldn't help but be full of fighting spirit.
It is with these strong men that I will not be alone. Xiang Yu, Ran Min, one day I, Lu Bu, will surpass you. Lu Bu thought with determination in his heart.
