Chapter 923: Challenge (1)
Gao Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, because he had received the good news sent back by the cavalry sent to pursue the Qi army, and knew that the 100,000 Qi army that had retreated in advance had been defeated by the cavalry of the Han army, so at this time, it could be said that his side had achieved a comprehensive victory. And the two armies of Qi and Chu were also completely defeated.
Of course, there are still some finishing things now, in addition to the placement of the surrendered Qi army, that is, the remaining more than 1,000 enemies who have not surrendered. However, everyone knows that these more than 1,000 people are surrounded by nearly 500,000 troops of the Han and Qin coalition forces, and they don't have any chance at all, so there is no suspense, but they just go through the motions.
At this moment, Li Yinghong suddenly said: "Husband, I saw that my sister was in the other party's array, so now should be the time for me to make a break with my sister, let me go." ”
Chunyu Zhongxiu also said: "Yes, husband, now is the best opportunity." ”
Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, his face became solemn, and he said: "You two have to think clearly, although the two armies of Qi and Chu have been completely defeated now, there is almost no image of Shui Xinyue's strength, so the two of you will fight Shui Xinyue at this time, and it will not be easy to take much advantage." ”
Li Yinghong looked resolute and said: "Husband, we have already thought about it, now is indeed the best opportunity and the last chance, if we miss this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future." ”
Gao Yuan nodded, he understood what Li Yinghong meant, because the two armies of Qi and Chu had completely failed, so the next time was to start a full-scale war with the Jiuli clan, so if Shui Xinyue withdrew from the Jiuli clan, now is indeed the best opportunity. So Gao Yuan said: "Okay, since you have already thought about it, then I will not stop you, and I must be careful to deal with the battle." ”
Li Yinghong and Chunyu Zhongxiu agreed, and then walked side by side in the direction of the Jiuli army.
After they left, He Hua said: "Although I don't know martial arts, I can also feel that Shui Xinyue's strength is still stronger than the two of them combined, and although Shui Xinyue and Yinghong are biological sisters, I don't think she is likely to show mercy, can you rest assured that the two of them will fight?" ”
Gao Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "How can I not worry about them, but this battle is decided by the two of them themselves, so it is not easy for me to stop them." ”
He Hua said: "Why don't you fight for them?" They are all your wives, so it is reasonable for you to fight for them, and with your current strength, you can easily defeat Shui Xinyue, even if you catch her, it is not difficult, right? ”
Gao Yuan said: "I can indeed fight for them, but in this way, they will depend on me for everything to complete, and the two of them don't plan to do this, so they must insist on relying on their own strength to defeat Shui Xinyue and let Shui Xinyue withdraw from this battle." And I don't want them to depend on me for everything. Although they are all my wives and children, I don't want them to be dependent on me to survive and be able to maintain their independence, and since this is their chosen battle, then of course I will not stop them. ”
He Hua smiled and said, "Okay, so do you want me to help them?" If I make a move, I can guarantee that the two of them can easily defeat Shui Xinyue. ”
Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "There is no difference between you and me, this is a battle between the two of them, let's not get involved, I believe they can win." ”
He Hua snorted and said, "Okay, I think they really can't fight after a while, see if you can still hold your breath." ”
And while the two were talking, Li Yinghong and Chun Yu Zhong Xiuji came to the front side by side. And seeing that two women came out of the formation of the Han and Qin coalition forces, Lu Xiuhong, Huo Lieyang and others were also very surprised, some people recognized Li Yinghong and Chunyu Zhongxiu, and knew that they were the queen of the plateau and the concubine of the plateau, so they didn't understand why these two people appeared here, and some people even thought that this would be some spy trick of the plateau.
Only Shui Xinyue knew what was going on, because this was what she had promised Li Yinghong that she could accept their challenge at any time, but Shui Xinyue didn't expect that the two would challenge herself at this time, maybe the two hoped to take advantage of the current Han and Qin coalition forces to achieve a big victory and the morale was booming, or they saw that they had personally fought just now, and their strength was exhausted, so they challenged themselves and had a better chance of winning.
In fact, the martial arts have reached the level of Shui Xinyue, and the will is often extremely firm, although the current situation is very unfavorable to the Jiuli side, but it will not have any impact on Shui Xinyue, and although Shui Xinyue did personally fight just now, and fought for most of the night, but this level of battle did not consume much of her strength, so Li Yinghong and Chun Yu Zhongxiu challenged Shui Xinyue at this time, and they actually did not have any advantage.
But at this time, Shui Xinyue's heart moved, and now there are only more than 1,000 people left on his side, and he can't escape at all in the heavy encirclement of the Han and Qin coalition forces, but Li Yinghong and Chun Yu Zhongxiu challenged themselves at this time, and it was a good opportunity to get out of trouble, either negotiate the conditions before they started, and let these people leave if they won, or catch Li Yinghong or Chun Yu Zhongxiu when they started, and force the plateau to let go of their own people.
Shui Xinyue knew that Gao Yuan was very fond of Li Yinghong and Chun Yu Zhongxiu, so if she grabbed Li Yinghong or Chun Yu Zhongxiu as a hostage, she would definitely be able to force Gao Yuan to accept the conditions. So Shui Xinyue said to the others: "This is my business, I will handle it, don't interfere with it, maybe this is our chance to escape." ”
After finishing speaking, Shui Xinyue ignored everyone's puzzled expressions, because in the Jiuli clan, no one knew the secret of Shui Xinyue's life experience, as well as her relationship with Li Yinghong, and even few people had seen Shui Xinyue's true appearance, so naturally they didn't understand why Shui Xinyue would take all of them to herself. However, they all knew that Shui Xinyue must have her reasons for doing this, and although Shui Xinyue was just a girl, among the five divine generals under Han Teng, she was the strongest in strength, so everyone didn't say anything more?
Shui Xinyue came out of the crowd and came to Li Yinghong and Chun Yu Zhongxiu, and said, "Have you two thought about it?" Although I said that you can accept the challenge of the two of you at any time, this is only one chance, and it should not be wasted. ”
Li Yinghong smiled faintly and said, "Sister, we have thought very clearly, that is, today, to complete the battle between us." ”
Shui Xinyue smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you really don't know how to cherish the opportunity, because with the current strength of the two of you, the chance of defeating me is too small, but this time is not counted, I can give you another chance." ”
Chun Yu Zhongxiu said with a smile: "No need, we all know the intentions of the water girl, it is nothing more than to bet on all of you now, we can promise you on behalf of the husband, if the water girl wins this battle, we can open the net and let you people leave safely, and we will not give us another chance with the water girl." Isn't it, Yinghong? ”
Li Yinghong nodded and said, "Yes, if we lose this battle, then we will lose it, and we will never have a second chance." ”
Shui Xinyue was also a little surprised, she didn't expect the two to be so resolute, but she is also a smart person, and immediately understood the intentions of the two, although Shui Xinyue didn't know the art of war, but she had also heard the phrase "put it to death and then live", and now Li Yinghong and Chun Yu Zhongxiu are the scene where they put themselves in the place of death, forcing themselves to stimulate their last potential, so they categorically refused to give them two more chances, and they also broke their intentions. is hoping to link the fate of the remaining more than 1,000 people with this battle, and at this time, Shui Xinyue also faintly felt that she was at a disadvantage.
Thinking about this, Shui Xinyue's heart not only became vigilant, it seems that she is still a little overbearing, if Li Yinghong and Chun Yu Zhongxiu really have the determination to "put them to death and live later", they really should not be underestimated.
Therefore, Shui Xinyue immediately put away her contempt, stretched out her hand and slowly untied her veil, revealing a face that was seven points similar to Li Yinghong, and said: "Okay, I admit that I did underestimate you just now, it seems that the two of you have indeed made full preparations for this battle, so I will go all out in this battle, and I will never show mercy to your subordinates." ”
Li Yinghong and Chun Yu Zhongxiu also glanced at each other, Shui Xinyue really deserved to be the strongest person among the five god generals, although she was indeed a little proud and careless at the beginning, but she quickly discovered her shortcomings, and admitted it very calmly, fully showing her open-mindedness as a master. Therefore, although I fell into a disadvantage just now, I basically pulled back at this time.
However, the two decided to challenge Shui Xinyue, and they had already made up their minds, of course, they would not hope for victory or defeat on these small tricks, so the two were unmoved, Li Yinghong pulled out his long knife, and Chun Yu Zhongxiu also drew out his long sword, pointing at Shui Xinyue in unison.
Originally, Li Yinghong's usual weapon was a pair of swords, but after joining forces with Chun Yu Zhongxiu, he found that if he was a solo man, it would be good to use a pair of swords, but it would be a little inconvenient to join forces with Chun Yu Zhongxiu, because the two joined forces, paying attention to cooperating with each other and learning from each other's strengths, so it was better to use only one weapon, but to better cooperate with Chun Yu Zhongxiu, so Li Yinghong decided to abandon the sword and use the knife.
Seeing the momentum of the two of them pulling their swords and shining swords, Shui Xinyue didn't dare to be careless, after all, Li Yinghong and Chunyu Zhongxiu are not weak, and they can be ranked in the top five among the ten generals, if they are a little bit worse, they may really be defeated by the two, so Shui Xinyue also pulled out her double swords, one long and one short, and formed a cross in front of her, and said: "Come on, let me see how much you have grown." ”
