Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2503: Defeat Gao Chong, Retreat from Jintai, and Fight Rengui
Speaking of Zhao Gongming, the civil and military officials of Qinghan could not help but sigh that Zhao Kuangyin of Central Plains had been dead for many years, and now the remnants of the Central Plains could only survive under the protection of Qinghan.

However, the remnants of the Central Plains were able to find an invincible general like Zhao Gongming. The three states of the Central Plains have been worthy of the name of outstanding people and beautiful scenery since ancient times.

Strictly speaking, the three great warriors of the Yuan family, Yuan Shen, Yuan Sheng, and Yuan Hong, were all great generals in the Central Plains. The Yuan family, which had three dukes for four generations, originated from Runan.

Yuzhou and Runan are naturally part of the Central Plains. First there were Chi You and You Liang, then there were Yuan Shen, Yuan Sheng, Yuan Hong, and now there is Zhao Gongming. The Central Plains is naturally blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

It’s a pity that although Zhao Gongming was such a great general and a relative of Zhao Kuangyin, he still couldn’t change the situation in the world.

However, some time ago, Zhao Gongming shined in the first battle between Tian Dan and Xue Rengui.

In the first battle, although he was at a disadvantage against Gao Chong, Zhao Gongming had another trump card. His unique skill Dinghaizhu directly beat Gao Chong to a point where he was at a loss, and he turned the situation around.

Zhao Gongming, he is the same as Houyi at the beginning.

At the beginning, Hou Yi’s gun skills were just so-so.

What's really great about him is his ability with arrows.

It was only after that that Hou Yi's gun skills improved a little.

As for Zhao Gongming, although his whip skills are not bad, it is definitely not up to par with his basic martial arts skills. His real strength lies when he uses the Dinghai Pearl.

Of course, this was the situation with Houyi and Zhao Gongming, and it was also the case with Lu Ya at the beginning.

As a high-level god-level warrior, Zhao Gongming used a whip to fight against the spear at the beginning. However, facing the mid-level god-level warrior Gao Chong, not only did he not gain any advantage, but after a fight, he was even beaten by Gao Chong.

From this we can see that Zhao Gongming, a high-level god-level general, is not good at using a whip, let alone reaching the level of a high-level god-level general. He is probably not even outstanding among the middle-level ones.

Although Gao Chong's combat power was relatively outstanding among the mid-level God Generals, after a struggle, Zhao Gongming was directly pressed down. However, his combat power was also ranked lower than that of the mid-level God Generals.

However, once he used the Dinghaizhu, Zhao Guangming's condition was completely different. He showed his extraordinary power and forced Gao Chong to retreat.

For example, when Lu Ya was shooting flying knives, he had to keep a certain distance. Shooting flying knives at close range was also very dangerous for him. If he failed to kill others, he would be embarrassed.

In this regard, this is especially true for the group of archers represented by Hou Yi and Xue Rengui.

Compared with Lu Ya, they had to keep a longer distance because the movements required to launch a bow and arrow were more than those required to launch a flying knife, so they had to reserve a longer safety distance for them.

Although they both attacked at close range, the risk they took was greater than that of Lu Ya.

Especially when facing high-level or higher-level warriors, if they dare to use bows and arrows at close range, there is almost a 50% chance that they will die. Of course, the greater probability is that both sides will suffer losses.

If they were facing a figure like Li Cunxiao, if they used close-range attacks, there was a 95% chance that they would die. However, it was different for Zhao Gongming, as he could actually use Dinghaizhu at close range.

Although the Dinghaizhu and Lu Ya's flying knife are very different, they both belong to the category of hidden weapons.

However, there are certain differences between the two of them, and their styles are not exactly the same.

Lu Ya used a two-handed weapon, so when he used the flying knife, he had to keep one hand free.

But Zhao Gongming was different. He used the same weapon as Yuchi Gong, a single whip that could be wielded with one hand.

It was precisely because of this that he had the possibility to fire the Dinghai Pearl at close range. If necessary, his other hand could naturally be free, giving him the possibility to fire at the same time.

Moreover, no one knows what material his Dinghaizhu is made of. When he launches it, it will emit five-colored light, which makes people unable to open their eyes. Under this circumstance, and the fact that it is launched at close range, it is naturally difficult to dodge.

In the whole world, Gao Chong was an extremely famous figure. During the Central Plains War, he was ranked as high as 19th on the list of military generals.

During the Central Plains War, a large number of generals died in battle, and many of them were world-famous figures. Among them, there were many who were ranked in the top 20 on the list of generals, and even among the top ten on the list, some died in battle.

For example, the former fierce general Lu Er from the south, You Liang and Niu Mo from the Jin army, and Zhu Quan who ended his career hastily, were all figures in the top 20 of the military generals list. Although Zhu Quan was only brilliant for a moment and ended his career hastily not long after his debut, it happened that at that time, the military generals list was updated, and he was also at the top of the list.

However, although so many brave generals died in the Central Plains War and the Southern War, Gao Chong's ranking did not rise.

After all, many new and powerful figures emerged before and after this war.

For example, among the Jin army, there were Gou Chen, Xuan Wu and Bai Hu who became famous almost at the same time as Zhu Quan, and Qin Long in the north.

The fame of these people just happened to fill the vacancies in the rankings ahead of Gao Chong. So much so that in that battle, several of those who ranked ahead of him died in the battle, but his ranking did not rise at all.

In fact, because of Zhao Yun's outstanding performance in the Central Plains War, he made it into the top 20 of the ranking list, and pushed Gao Chong back one place, so that Gao Chong is now ranked just twentieth.

But even if he is ranked twentieth, it is enough to show that he is one of the top masters in the world.

But even such a top master in the world was defeated by Zhao Gongming's Dinghaizhu.

After Zhao Gongming, many powerful generals from Yuwen Chengdu and Jintai tried to fight against Zhao Gongming.

However, although some of them gained a slight advantage at the beginning, they were all defeated by Zhao Gongming's Dinghaizhu in the end.

Under pressure, even Xue Rengui, the main general, was forced to take action.

Thus, on the battlefield, there was a contest between Xue Rengui's Zhentian Bow and Zhao Gongming's Dinghai Pearl.
