"Thief Li, you are so cunning, no wonder Guild Pei repeatedly ordered——!" Xiang Yu's eyes flashed sharply, he held the sky-breaking halberd flat in both hands, and urged his horse to kill the general.

The Chu army was in great momentum, so Li Yuan used the captured generals' heads as a guide to suppress the arrogant morale of the Chu army. Under such unfavorable circumstances, how could Xiang Yu, the overlord with a surname like Liehuo, be able to endure it.

"Little Li Yuan, how dare you bully me, a great Chu man!" Xiang Yu's tongue exploded with spring thunder, and his voice sounded like a giant drum and urn bell. The black horse under his crotch seemed to feel the master's high fighting spirit, and turned towards the ordinary Huang opposite.

Color-skinned companions neighed.

A hundred steps apart.

This is the closest distance between the Qin and Chu armies in the confrontation, just between the two generals.

Xiang Yu, who was used to solving all problems with force, still didn't believe there was anything amazing about the young man he faced, who was not tall and had a fair face.

Presumably, it relies more on trickery.

I thought I finally had a good opponent this time, but now I found out that it was just a fake. Every time I thought about this, Xiang Yu felt a burst of irritation.

Singled out.

In front of the two armies, a furious Xiang Yu issued a letter of challenge to Li Yuan for a duel between the two generals.

To fight or not to fight.

Xiang Yu is waiting, and the Chu army's 30,000 soldiers are waiting. Likewise, the Qin army generals on and off the pass are also waiting for Li Yuan's final decision.

"Li Hou, you must not agree!" Hulao was closed, and the general Jiang Yu turned pale with shock. He knew that Xiang Yu was brave, but he was worried that Li Yuan would act impulsively and agree to the challenge.

"Li Hou, wait for me!" Meng Hu urged his horse and was about to rush out to kill the general. Regardless of whether he was Xiang Yu's opponent or not, he would go forward to meet him.

Even if he died for Li Yuan, he would still be able to repay the kindness of saving him in the first place.

There was silence all over the Qin army. No one spoke, and even the sound of breathing became clearer. Everyone was looking at Li Yuan, watching this young man who led them back on the road to recovery, facing the enemy.

How will you respond to Fang's naked provocation? Will it be war, retreat, or something else?

——.

Forced into a desperate situation.

This was the result he wanted. Li Yuan suddenly laughed, with a little excitement, a little realization, and a touch of calmness in his smile.

Under Xiang Yu's glare, Li Yuan raised his knife across the saddle, and then quickly took out a bronze machine crossbow from the saddle bridge behind the horse. The crossbow bolt was hung in the slot in his hand, and he looked at the mountain.

Aimed at Xiang Yu head-on.

"Whoosh!"

A crossbow bolt shot out without any delay, with an unstoppable momentum. Before Xiang Yu could fully react, the crossbow bolt flashing with a cold triangular light was shot towards Xiang Yu's face.

"Overlord!"

The Chu army generals who were still behind Xiang Yu screamed in surprise and rushed forward to protect Xiang Yu. However, their actions were obviously too late compared with the flying crossbow arrows.

Despicable and shameful!

At this time, Li Yuan only had this impression in the minds of the Chu army soldiers.

The arrow is like a shooting star.

Xiang Yu was caught off guard, and when he realized what Li Yuan meant, he only had time to lower his head slightly. After the three-sided crossbow arrow made close contact with Xiang Yu's bronze crown, it made a crisp "choking" sound.

.

Hair scattered.

Xiang Yu's sight was mostly obscured by the fallen hair, which made him suddenly panic. Even if a blind man has great abilities, he can't stop the assassination of a sighted person. What's more, the guy opposite has a gun in his hand.

A crossbow with long-range attack.

"Quickly, kill this shameful Qin dog!"

A Chu military captain who wanted to claim credit rode out on his horse, stabbing diagonally with the spear in his hand, with a faint look of excitement on his face.

This is a guy who is used to taking advantage of opportunities.

While everyone was busy rescuing Xiang Yu, he did the opposite and decided to try his best to assassinate the enemy general to gain great fame.

"Whoosh whoosh-!"

The sound of continuous crossbow firing was mixed with the shouts, and it sounded very inconspicuous. However, for the Colonel Chu who was still not dead, it was the last sound he could hear in his life.

Wang Shang, who had been waiting carefully, ordered his most accurate crossbowman to move forward a few steps early and aim at the Chu general who dared to attack Li Yuan.

Multiple crossbow arrows pierced into the armor that was just a coarse cloth jacket. The strong penetrating power caused the triangular arrow tip to penetrate straight from the surface of the skin to the heart. While cutting off the internal organs, it also split the human body.

vitality.

"Portom!"

The lifeless body fell under the horse, and its head collided with the solid ground under the influence of gravity, immediately splashing a ball of blood. The frightened horse jumped and kicked for a while, and finally gave out bursts of help.

's whine.

——.

After a while of twists and turns, Overlord Xiang Yu finally fixed his bun under the protection of the generals. His face was extremely pale. Just now, he really didn't expect that Li Yuan would act so unreasonably. He didn't dare to challenge in front of everyone.

Not to mention, he even resorted to vulgar means such as stabbing people in the back.

"Li Thief, do you still know the word shame?" Xiang Yu shouted angrily. No matter how angry he was this time, he would not come within a hundred steps of Li Yuan. The maximum range of Qin's crossbow was one hundred steps.

, Li Yuan never said a word just now. He must have been calculating the distance between the two parties to facilitate his sneak attack. For such a deceitful man, it was a good thing that he had treated him as an opponent before.

"Overlord, what's the point of being ashamed of being a talkative kid and a silent thief? As for that moment just now, Li was upright and upright, so what's the point of being ashamed to say it?" Li Yuan sneered and said.

"You don't even dare to fight in a duel, what else can you say?" Xiang Yu shouted and asked.

"The method of arranging troops is to use one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. The Overlord is good at bravery and invites battle with single combat. So you use your strengths to attack my weaknesses. Now I use the length of the crossbow arrow to attack the Overlord's.

Being short, there is nothing wrong with it, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

"It's a shame, but it's you, the overlord, who just harbored contempt in your heart and failed to take precautions against the enemy at hand, which allowed Li's crossbow arrow to be used." Li Yuan spoke with emotion, ignoring Xiang Yuqing's whitewash.

A look on his face.

"Are you sophistry that you really pissed off a certain family?" Xiang Yu was so angry that he couldn't help shouting loudly.

"Overlord, if you can't even accept such a little setback, how can you achieve hegemony in the world? Why don't you return to Jiangdong early and hide in the mountains and forests with your children." Li Yuan straightened his expression and advised.

In history, Xiang Yu was defeated in Gaixia four years after the conflict between Chu and Han, and finally committed suicide by the Wujiang River. His body was divided into five parts by Lu Matong and other rebel generals. It can be said that he died extremely miserably. If you can listen to it today

In order to persuade his troops to return to Jiangdong, Li Yuan did something meritorious.

Of course, this is impossible.

Now Xiang Yu, who was at the peak of his career, would never listen to the advice of an enemy general from Li Yuan. However, Li Yuan's words sounded to Xiang Yu with no good intentions other than sarcasm.

"Li Yuan, don't be complacent. Today's battle is over, and we will see you again in battle later." Xiang Yu said a harsh word bitterly, and then led the Chu army back to the camp.

In the first battle, Xiang Yu, who wanted to show off his power, was unexpectedly shot off by Li Yuan, causing him to lose face today. The subsequent questioning was also refuted by Li Yuan's "eloquence". In terms of language,

, Xiang Yu cannot be considered a strong point, and remaining on the battlefield will only cause more humiliation.

"Jiujiao Qin, restore our rivers and mountains. Until the blood dries, we will fight to the death!" The three thousand Qin army generals hummed a war song, arrogantly raising their weapons towards the energetic Chu soldiers on the opposite side, venting their hearts out.

I felt depressed all morning.

So what if there are many people?

So what if you are brave?

In front of Li Hou, even Xiang Yu suffered a lot. Faced with such scenery, the soldiers of the Qin army would naturally not worry about whether Li Yuan's approach was a bit unfair.

Everyone is selfish.

This point has never changed throughout the ages.

On the battlefield, victory or defeat is the only criterion. Apart from this, there are no other rules. There is no rule that when one party proposes a duel, the other party must agree. Similarly, there is no rule that when one party's general shoots

Yatoki, do you still need to ask the other party whether you agree or not?

——.

The Chu army ended the day's battle with a bang.

Xiang Yu returned to the Chinese army's tent angrily, his whole body tense with anger. Along the way, when he saw the evasive looks from the Chu army soldiers, Xiang Yu felt that his lungs were about to explode with anger.

"What should I do? Do you just want to admit defeat?" Xiang Yu's heart felt like ten thousand grass-mud horses galloping past. Of course, Xiang Yu didn't know what grass-mud horses were.

"Overlord, calm down, don't you fall into Li Yuan's kid's serial tricks?" Outside the tent, after a slight cough, Fan Zengzhu came in hunched over with a cane.

When Xiang Yu was furious, except for Fan Zeng, his father, no one in the Chu army, including generals Ji Bu and Yu Ziqi, dared to come to remonstrate with Xiang Yu. At this time, Ji Bu and others could think of asking him to come out.

Fan Zeng was recuperating, so this was the best solution they could think of.

"Father, what else does Li Yuan have up his sleeve?" Xiang Yu was startled for a moment. Fan Zeng's words immediately diverted Xiang Yu's attention. Xiang Yu, who had taken advantage of Li Yuan's secret move, was now facing this young opponent.

He will no longer have the slightest contempt. Therefore, when it comes to addressing him, he will no longer call him a thief like before.

"Overlord, the purpose of what Li Yuan's son did today was to anger the Overlord, so that the Overlord would lose his mind and attack the Hulao Pass. In this way, the Qin army would wait for work at ease and take the dangerous pass as a beggar, which would increase the casualties of our Chu soldiers.

By doing so, wouldn't we have further contributed to his fame, which is his ultimate goal." A rare gleam of wisdom appeared in Fan Zeng's old and turbid eyes.

"What Yafu said makes sense. Don't worry, I, Xiang Ji, will be deceived again?" Xiang Yu said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with solemnity and excitement.

Li Yuan, this is an extremely difficult guy who doesn't follow the rules.

Only such an opponent can inspire the poor's fighting spirit.

The Battle of Hulao Pass has just begun, and the end is far from coming——.
Chapter completed!
