Liu Bang had already vanished without a trace by then. He was terrified of being killed by Lu Li, so he fled faster than a rabbit.
Lu Li glanced coldly at the corpse of the white-robed elder, his heart burning with rage.
This white-robed elder of the Mohist school bought Liu Bang time to escape, and now it's too late to catch up.
Because once you leave Jiayuguan, there is an endless grassland, and Wang Li is still embroiled in a fierce battle, he has to go back.
"Master, shall we continue the pursuit?" Tian Zang asked as he walked to Lu Li's side.
Lu Li took a deep breath and then said, "Let's go back to the Great Wall."
Tian Zang nodded and followed Lu Li toward the Great Wall.
After Lu Li and the others left, an old man in black robes came out. He looked at the corpse of the white-robed elder, stuffed a pill into the white-robed elder's mouth, and the next second the white-robed elder suddenly opened his eyes.
He was breathing heavily, and the smile on his face was gone.
"If I hadn't cultivated the Turtle Breathing Technique, I would have been killed by this kid just now."
The old man in black robes had a glint in his eyes. He had also witnessed the battle between Lu Li and the white-robed elder. Lu Li was growing too fast.
Since being severely injured by the Mo family patriarch, he not only survived, but in just three years, he also reached the level of a minor grandmaster.
What's even more suffocating is that Lu Li had only just entered the realm of a minor grandmaster, yet he almost killed the white-robed elder who was at the peak of the minor grandmaster realm.
If it weren't for the Turtle Breathing Technique, the white-robed elder would definitely have been killed by Lu Li.
"This kid truly lives up to his reputation as someone with an immortal body; his growth rate is astounding."
The old man in black robes muttered something, turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the vast wilderness.
......
After Lu Li returned to the Great Wall, Wang Li told him about the current state of the Great Wall.
The Xiongnu launched a fierce attack on the Great Wall, but with the arrival of Lu Li, the rebel army was scattered and the Xiongnu troops retreated.
Lu Li disrupted the Mo family's plans, so the Mo family naturally dared not send troops to attack the Great Wall again.
This allowed Wang Li to finally catch his breath. They had been fighting the Xiongnu for half a month, with a large number of soldiers dying every day, and morale severely damaged.
After listening to Wang Li's report, Lu Li pondered for a moment and said, "Although the Xiongnu have the support of the Mohists, they are no longer able to breach the Great Wall in the short term."
What worries Lu Li is that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu have now joined forces, and the two destined individuals have come together again.
"Mr. Lu, what should we do?" Wang Li asked.
Now, the armies of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are eyeing the Great Wall from the outside, while the rebel forces of the remnants of the six states have occupied half of the country from the inside.
However, in Lu Li's eyes, those remnants of the six kingdoms were all a rabble. With Zhang Han there, even if they couldn't be wiped out, they could at least temporarily resist these rebels.
"It's better to take the initiative than to be passively attacked!"
Wang Li now has less than 300,000 men left, but thanks to Lu Li's addition, the Great Wall garrison still numbers 300,000. 100,000 will remain to guard the Great Wall, while the rest will venture out to attack the Hetao region.
"Sir! Isn't this too risky?" Wang Li exclaimed.
Although the Xiongnu have suffered heavy casualties in recent days due to their sieges, if they were to abandon their defensive positions and launch an offensive, they would certainly have the upper hand.
Lu Li shook his head and said, "The Xiongnu don't have many elite troops left."
When the Xiongnu attacked the city, Xiang Yu's troops barely moved. Even if Liu Bang and Xiang Yu joined forces, they only had tens of thousands of soldiers, while Xiang Yu had two hundred thousand—two hundred thousand fierce and powerful troops, worthy of a final gamble.
Because if we continue to hold out, we will face internal and external troubles, and things will change if we delay.
"But......"
Wang Li hesitated, because if they lost this battle, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Lu Li saw Wang Li's concerns and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, I won't gamble with the entire Great Wall. This battle can only be won, not lost!"
"good!"
Since Lu Li was so certain, Wang Li chose to believe him, just as his grandfather Wang Jian had believed in him back then.
Late at night, Lu Li stood on the Great Wall, gazing at the distant night sky.
He had mixed feelings because he was about to lead 200,000 troops to the Hetao region.
If he succeeds, it will completely rewrite the history of the Qin Dynasty.
He was determined to make one last stand against the heavens, to enter the grand scheme of the heavenly order and defy fate!
Images of many people flashed through Lu Li's mind: Xiao Lu'er, Cangwu, Ying Zheng, Chu Yi, Meng Tian, Wang Jian, and so on. Their appearances were clearly presented in his mind, as if they had happened just yesterday.
Then, he closed his eyes and felt the will in his mind.
"The valiant Qin people, united in the face of national crisis. We will not return until our blood is shed!"
Lu Li silently said it to himself.
Then, he took a deep breath, cleared his mind of all distractions, and began to prepare.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Lu Li led an army of 100,000 out of the Great Wall and headed towards the Hetao region.
The Great Wall was not far from the Hetao region, and Lu Li's army sped along, arriving at the Hetao region in less than half a day.
At this time, the Hetao region had become a living hell.
Everywhere there were ruins and rubble, cries of anguish filled the air, and rivers of blood flowed.
A sense of desolation permeated the air, so intense that it was almost unbearable to smell and see.
The Xiongnu burned, killed, looted, massacred cities and exterminated entire clans. The people of the Hetao region suffered immense pain, with families torn apart and countless people killed or injured.
Lu Li felt a chill run through him when he saw this scene.
"kill!"
Without any hesitation, Lu Li immediately ordered the killing.
