Chapter 220 Liu Bang, let's see what choices your descendants will make!
"When a natural disaster strikes during a war, it is devastating to the morale of an army."
"Now it is impossible for Wang Mang's army to withdraw in an orderly manner. In addition, the commander-in-chief left the central army early on. This defeat is probably several times more tragic than the original battle in history."
Once the collapse begins, no one can reverse it.
Moreover, during this defeat, countless people have discovered that Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, as the commanders-in-chief, had long since abandoned them.
Gale-force winds, torrential rain, swirling river water, and that terrifying meteorite.
Either of these factors, if they were to appear during a battle between two armies, would be a devastating blow.
Moreover, with all five poisons present, no matter who Liu Xiu's opponent is, he has no chance of winning!
At that moment, he truly seemed to be the chosen one!
At this moment, Wang Mang's army completely collapsed. They had surrounded the city, intending to cut off Liu Xiu's hopes and completely annihilate Kunyang!
But now, these multiple encirclements have cut off their own path to survival!
After the torrential rain subsided slightly, Liu Xiu led his army out to attack.
At this point, no one had any intention of resisting their offensive.
Once full of confidence, they now only had one thought in their minds: escape!
Who dares to oppose the chosen one of destiny?
To everyone else, this overwhelming divine might was a punishment from heaven!
However, in a corner of the sky, a disgusting scene was unfolding.
Hu Hai and Zhao Gao actually managed to break through the encirclement with a small group of soldiers!
The chaotic Wang Mang army has already been left far behind by them.
Because they were lucky enough to escape with their lives, the hundreds of cavalrymen who followed them in their breakout became even more devoted to the two men.
"What the hell?"
Seeing this scene, Old Zhu couldn't help but swear.
"How the hell did they do that? Long before the storm started, Wang Mang's army was already in chaos, and the central command tent was set up inside that encirclement. How did they break through?"
The two figures were always visible in the corner of the sky, but the storm and meteor shower were so powerful that his attention was focused on the main battlefield, and he completely ignored the two figures.
Before they could even react, the two had already escaped.
"I have noticed that. How should I put it, is it that fools sometimes have good fortune?"
"Or is what Zhao Gao said true, and Hu Hai is indeed protected by Heaven?"
Li Er's tone was somewhat helpless.
He watched helplessly as Hu Hai and Zhao Gao bypassed one patrol after another, and the patrolling guards coincidentally managed not to encounter them.
Several generals who came to pursue and intercept the two men after learning of their desertion were instead subjected to layers of questioning.
What incredible luck!
Li Er said he couldn't understand.
Could it be that what Zhao Gao said was true?
Hu Hai also had a destiny, and even if he couldn't stop the meteorite from falling, he could still ensure Hu Hai's survival.
He couldn't think of any other possibility!
The way these two escaped was truly bizarre!
However, Zhao Kuangyin seemed to have seen through everything.
"Divine protection? Have you all forgotten that this celestial realm is a world controlled by immortals?"
"Even if that scoundrel Hu Hai truly has a destiny bestowed upon him, he still needs the consent of the immortals to be released in order to escape his predicament."
"From the immortal's assessment, it's clear that he has absolutely no liking for this scoundrel!"
Zhao Kuangyin couldn't believe that Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were able to escape so coincidentally without the intervention of some unseen force!
"Huh? But is there some deeper meaning behind letting these two live?"
Li Er was stunned.
Old Zhu reacted a little faster.
He quickly realized, from Wang Mang's death, what would become of these two men.
"If that's really the case, then the immortal has truly helped us vent our anger!"
Just as everyone was discussing it enthusiastically, in a corner of the screen in the sky...
As Hu Hai watched the military camp recede further and further away, his heart filled with increasing joy.
He couldn't help but look at Zhao Gao, who was still galloping wildly beside him.
"Fortunately, the Grand Chancellor is here. If it were Zhang Han accompanying me in the challenge, we would probably be trapped and die in that sea of people by now!"
Meteorite falling from the sky?
The historical records are too simplistic.
Even though he was far from the battlefield, he could still clearly hear the howling wind, the surging flood, and the earth-shaking meteor behind him!
If he were still in that central command tent, he would surely be dead and buried long ago!
He saw it with his own eyes—the enormous meteorite crashed straight into the central army!
"Hehe, Your Majesty, I would not lie to you. What the immortal said is not entirely true."
"Your Majesty, I will not harm you, nor will I harm the Great Qin."
Zhao Gao said with a cold smile.
Even now, he hasn't forgotten to continue to bewitch Huhai.
Based on the fact that he saved Hu Hai this time, even after he fails the challenge and returns to Qin, he will still be the prime minister who is above all others!
But as he ran, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Or rather, he thought of something.
What were the immortal's requirements for this challenge?
Replace Wang Yi and win the Battle of Kunyang!
It is clear to anyone with discerning eyes that the current battle of Kunyang has been a complete failure.
No matter who comes, they absolutely cannot turn the tide of the battle!
The mission had clearly failed, but the immortal showed no intention of letting them return.
what does this mean?
The moment this thought crossed Zhao Gao's mind, he felt a chill run through his body.
He's not a fool.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to alter the imperial edict so flawlessly.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this challenge won't be so easy to overcome!"
As soon as the thought came to mind, Zhao Gao immediately voiced his speculation.
"The challenge was to help Wang Mang's army win the Battle of Kunyang, but the battle has obviously been lost. If the immortal did not send us back to Qin, then there is only one possibility left."
"I'm afraid only if we win the Battle of Kunyang can we return to Great Qin!"
Upon hearing this conjecture, Hu Hai's body went limp, and he nearly fell off his horse.
"What, what do you mean? Does this mean I can't return to Qin?"
"Not necessarily, but it should not be as simple as I previously thought."
"But Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely find a way to bring Your Majesty back to Qin, and may even be able to complete this challenge!"
Zhao Gao's expression was somewhat ferocious.
But his words did indeed arouse the curiosity of many people.
During the Ming Dynasty.
Old Zhu frowned deeply.
"Could what Zhao Gao said be true? Does he really have a way to escape this challenge alive?"
"Gentlemen, what do you think? If the immortals are targeting him like this, it would be such a pity if this eunuch didn't die."
Ying Zheng: “…”
"Drag Zhao Gao up here! I want to kill him a few more times to vent my anger!"
"Also, I might know what Old Zhu is planning to do."
"Liu Bang, let's see what choices your descendants will make!"
