Early the next morning, Dian Wei went to Jiang Tian's tent to keep watch.
Nalan Ruyue came out of the tent, and the little girl was so frightened when she saw Dian Wei that she quickly shrank back inside.
"Ruyue, what's wrong?" Jiang Tian sat up and asked.
There was a person guarding outside the tent; I wondered what he was up to.
"My lord, you're awake?" Dian Wei's voice came from outside.
"Dian Wei, what are you doing up so early?"
"Is it still about the cannon?" Dian Wei didn't dare to come in and could only speak from outside.
“My lord,” Dian Wei said, “I’m thinking that we’re about to go to war, and I’m short of a cannon.”
"Doesn't Li Yuanba have cannons? Go ask him for some."
Jiang Tian spoke as he walked out.
“That kid Li Yuanba is really something else. Last night I brought him two bottles of wine, hoping to trade them for a cannon. But after he took my wine, he never mentioned the cannon again.”
Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu were already competing outside.
"Where did you run off to yesterday when the fighting was going on?"
"I had diarrhea, and in the time it took me to take a dump, your war was already over."
"There are cannons on the battlefield. Go and bring back two yourself."
Jiang Tian was not lying.
Yesterday, in addition to these two Tsarist cannons, the Russian soldiers had a total of 20 other cannons.
These cannons, though far inferior to Napoleon's cannons, are better than nothing.
"Really?" Dian Wei could hardly believe his ears.
"Those cannons are scattered all over the ground. Our people don't want them. If you want a cannon, go and get it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Dian Wei quickly mounted his horse and charged straight towards the small hill.
…………
Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba stood with their hands on their hips, staring at each other.
"What are you two doing?" Jiang Tian walked over.
"My lord, as you know, my abilities are unparalleled in the world; my strength is such that I can uproot mountains and my spirit is unmatched."
Before Xiang Yu could finish speaking, Li Yuanba curled his lip and said, "Stop talking nonsense. When you see this Tsar Cannon, my lord said that the cannon barrel alone weighs 100 kilograms."
"Let's see who can lift it."
Holy crap!
Jiang Tian was stunned when he heard this.
These two guys wanted to have a contest to see who could lift the Tsar Cannon.
This is in jin (a unit of weight).
It's not 36 jin, not 360 jin, and not 3600 jin.
Let alone being able to lift it, being able to even move this Tsar Cannon would be quite an achievement.
"Do you think I lifted the tripod for fun?" Xiang Yu tightened his belt.
"Xiang Yu, you must not be reckless." Jiang Tian immediately recalled the time when King Wu of Qin, Ying Dang, lifted the heavy tripod, which broke his leg bone and caused his death.
Before Xiang Yu could finish speaking...
Li Yuanba spat into his palm, and then sucked in his stomach, which shrank even further from its already emaciated state.
Li Yuanba tightened his belt as he walked up to the Tsar Cannon.
"If you can lift a large cauldron, I can lift a giant cannon."
Before Jiang Tian could intercept him, Li Yuanba gripped the patterns on the cannon with both hands.
"Go..." Li Yuanba roared, his waist and horse moving as one.
In an instant, the cannon, weighing several kilograms, moved slightly.
"Li Yuanba, don't be too reckless."
The onlookers immediately burst into enthusiastic applause.
"The general is truly admirable."
"This cannon is so powerful that even General Li can shake it. Looking across the entire world, who can rival it?"
"General Li is incredibly brave and unparalleled; I admire him to the point of utter devotion."
"I've won! I'm truly impressed. I've never seen such a valiant person before."
Amid cheers and applause from the crowd, Li Yuanba roared once more with all his might.
He lifted that heavy cannon with incredible force.
Everyone stared in astonishment.
Jiang Tian was so shocked that he opened his mouth and couldn't say a word.
Is this person even human?
They're simply divine.
Even a god couldn't compare.
Deafening applause, cheers, and whistles erupted from the crowd.
"Everyone be quiet." Jiang Tian waved his hand at the crowd. "Quiet down, and no one should disturb General Li."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
When Xiang Yu saw Li Yuanba raise the cannon, he was not to be outdone.
Jiang Tian panicked as soon as he saw Xiang Yu preparing to raise the cannon.
Although he redeemed both of these people from the system.
However, Li Yuanba is not a historical figure. This person once killed a million-strong army with two large hammers in one hour.
This ability is something Xiang Yu could never match.
Although Xiang Yu fought well and smoothly in every battle—the Battle of Pengcheng, the Battle of Gaixia, the Battle of Julu—his abilities were nowhere near those of the fictional Li Yuanba.
"Xiang Yu, calm down! Don't lift that cannon!" Jiang Tian shouted quickly.
Jiang Tian's silence was insignificant; Xiang Yu instantly became famous.
If Li Yuanba can lift it, why can't I?
Am I, the mighty Hegemon of Western Chu, really inferior to a skinny wretch?
Xiang Yu roared and grabbed the patterns on the Tsar Cannon with both hands.
"Go... up..." In an instant, the guy moved as if he were in a horse's stance and lifted the cannon up.
This is not scientific.
Xiang Yu was also capable of lifting a cannon weighing 1 jin (approximately 500 catties).
This feather remained unfazed, without even breaking a sweat.
“Li Yuanba lifted a cannon, what’s so difficult about that?” The guy even took a few steps forward.
When Li Yuanba saw that Xiang Yu had also raised his cannon, his temper immediately flared up.
“You can walk, but I can run.” Li Yuanba jogged forward.
"You can jog, but I can run."
Xiang Yu galloped forward.
"You two slow down," Jiang Tian said, extremely worried.
There was snow everywhere, and the ground was very slippery.
If you accidentally fall and a cannon lands on you, it's no joke.
They plunged deep into the snow with each step.
"Alright, come back soon." Jiang Tian waved to the two of them.
The two ran for a good five or six hundred meters before stopping.
"Born with superhuman strength, indeed born with superhuman strength."
"Generals, this is the God of War descended to earth."
"Let alone a cannon weighing 1 jin, if you asked me to lift something weighing 360 jin and run that far, I would have been exhausted long ago."
"Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable."
"Otherwise, how could he become a general? We are just ordinary soldiers."
These elite soldiers all gave a thumbs up.
They had never seen anything like it before.
Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba jogged back.
They slowly placed the cannon on the gun mount.
He then sat there, panting heavily.
However, neither of them would yield to the other.
"Li Yuanba, we haven't decided a winner yet today."
"Xiang Yu, whenever you wish to settle this matter, I will be with you."
