Chapter 386

Li Yuanba roared and swung his hammer down at the front.

With a bang, the heavy hammer struck the ground hard, smashing out a large pit.

Along a straight line in front of the pit, all the soil suddenly soared into the air.

A powerful shockwave traveled along the ground to the feet of the retreating soldier.

The soldier felt a tremendous force surge up from beneath his feet, and his entire body involuntarily flew upward.

While suspended in midair, every bone in his body was shattered by the overwhelming power!

But by the time he hit the ground, he was already a corpse.

Li Yuanba, caught up in the killing frenzy, charged straight into the great formation.

The two heavy hammers swung everywhere, each strike emitting a powerful shockwave.

His hammers did not need to strike the opponent directly; the shockwaves alone were enough to shake them to death!

In an instant, the golden great formation was left in chaotic disarray.

This made General Meng Tian, watching from Yuanchuguan, deeply alarmed.

He had originally thought that even if they could not trap Li Yuanba, they could at least hold out for a while.

.... 0

If they could hold out long enough, it would allow other armies to free their hands to attack other targets.

This great formation served the purpose of tying down Li Yuanba.

Even if they could not kill Li Yuanba, containing him would suffice.

But they never expected Li Yuanba to break the formation array in just a few exchanges.

It seems there is no choice but to bring out the trump card!

General Meng Tian gave a signal to his deputy, who immediately went down to deliver the order.

Shortly after, more than ten people in green robes rushed toward the great formation.

These people in green robes wore no armor and did not look like soldiers.

They moved in groups of four, totaling three groups plus two mobile personnel.

Each group of four worked together to grip something.

By the time they reached the golden great formation, the Jin Jia soldiers were mostly dead or wounded.

At that moment, they immediately spread out, vaguely forming a surrounding formation around Li Yuanba.

"Get lost!"

Li Yuanba was enraged.

He hated encountering such strange and bizarre opponents the most.

His favorite opponents were those like Li Cunxiao, where a direct clash of strength made it interesting.

It was just a pity that Li Cunxiao was on his own side, so he could not fight him to his heart's content.

Now, seeing more than ten people in green robes surround him, Li Yuanba swung his hammer and smashed it toward a person in green robes in front.

At that moment, he felt a massive white net soar into the air above, descending over his head to cover him.

His hammer strike was also caught by the giant net.

The heavy hammer struck the net, yet failed to smash it apart.

And the powerful shockwave it emitted passed through the mesh holes of the net.

170, what if we don't retreat?

Several hammer strikes followed in succession, all in vain.

Meanwhile, Li Yuanba himself was covered by the giant net.

In an instant, most of the people in green robes began to pull the ropes in their hands.

The giant net covering Li Yuanba grew tighter and tighter.

Several other people in green robes threw long ropes toward Li Yuanba's feet.

They operated with skill, instantly binding Li Yuanba's feet tightly.

"General Meng, can this net restrain Li Yuanba?"

From a distance, the observing Xiaoyaozi voiced his doubt.

"This is no ordinary net; I obtained it from a high master."

"This net is incredibly tough; swords and blades cannot cut it, and it fears neither fire nor burning!"

"Once entangled by the net, even if Li Yuanba possesses heavenly abilities, he cannot escape!"

General Meng Tian wore a look of pride.

Using a giant net to deal with Li Yuanba was a strategy he had pondered for a long time.

Li Yuanba possessed immense strength and unmatched bravery; a direct clash of force could not deal with such a person.

But as the saying goes, softness can overcome hardness.

When entangled by the giant net, one's strength becomes useless.

Especially since Li Yuanba's heavy hammers were even more severely restricted by the giant net.

"If Li Yuanba is killed, then General Meng will have achieved great merit and will be the savior of us all!" Wei Pao said.

Seeing this, the others immediately joined in praising General Meng Tian.

Just then, Ying Zheng and others on the city wall also noticed that Li Yuanba was trapped by the giant net.

Everyone could not help but feel worried.

"If I had known this, I should have sent someone to accompany General Li out of the city!" Ying Zheng sighed.

Still too careless.

He only thought Li Yuanba possessed courage unmatched by ten thousand men, capable of alone holding off the enemy's thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of horses.

He never expected the enemy had come prepared, trapping Li Yuanba with a single net.

Watching the surrounding soldiers grow ever more numerous, Ying Zheng and the others grew even more anxious.

Yet among them, one person was not anxious.

Zhuge Liang did not worry about Li Yuanba's safety.

Li Yuanba had fought in a hundred battles; what formation had he not experienced?

How could a mere small net trap him?

Besides, even if that net could not be broken, Li Yuanba would face no danger; at most, he would be unable to pursue the enemy.

"Issue the order: prepare the cavalry for an attack; once the cannons cease firing, launch the assault immediately!"

"Order all cannons to attack until ten cannonballs have been fired!"

Zhuge Liang issued the order to attack.

This move was not to rescue Li Yuanba, but merely a pre-planned attack scheme.

Ying Zheng glanced at Zhuge Liang; he did not quite understand the order Zhuge Liang had just issued.

Now Li Yuanba is in peril; at this moment, cavalry should be dispatched immediately to rescue him.

What is the meaning of striking first with cannons?

Does he intend to ignore Li Yuanba?

Yet though his heart held doubts, he remained silent.

First, he dared not underestimate Zhuge Liang.

If it later proved Zhuge Liang's order was correct, then his act of questioning would appear rather lowly.

There was another possibility: Zhuge Liang's order might be flawed, causing Li Yuanba to be killed!

If Li Yuanba died, would that be good or bad for him?

Within the city stood three hundred thousand elite soldiers, plus the two great generals Li Xin and Fu Hao, and with the aid of cannons, even without Li Yuanba, the city could be held!

Then, if Li Yuanba died, Facing Ying Su would effectively lose an arm.

Would the possibility of himself reclaiming the Emperor's throne then become greater?

In an instant, countless thoughts spun through Ying Zheng's mind.

"Li Yuanba is too divine and valiant!"

Just then, someone nearby exclaimed in awe.

Ying Zheng quickly looked out and saw Li Yuanba with his twin hammers placed on the ground, both hands gripping one side of the great net, which he had already torn open into a huge hole!
