Chapter 656: The Peak Battle (3): The Princes Retreat

Chapter 654: The Peak Battle (3): The Princes Retreat

Due to the limitations of the site, the Eighteenth Allied Forces of the princes could not be fully deployed, so Xiang Yu directly faced only nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses.

But even so, facing a battle formation composed of nearly 10,000 troops, Xiang Yu alone seemed too insignificant.

Looking at the oncoming Han cavalry, a bloodthirsty smile flashed across Xiang Yu's face. He swung the halberd in his hand across the air, and immediately saw an air blade several meters long being hacked out.

Boom…

The dozen cavalrymen who had no time to dodge directly collided with the air blade slashed by Xiang Yu, and then all of them had their armor shattered and flew backwards. They coughed up a large mouthful of blood in the air, and then fell to the ground and were trampled to death by the horses.

"kill."

Xiang Yu shouted violently, and then another air blade was drawn out. The dozen or so cavalry who had been added were blown away again, but they were quickly replaced by the cavalry behind him.

Xiang Yu didn't even blink when he saw this, but still waved the big halberd tirelessly, killing all the Han soldiers who dared to come within ten steps of him. His violent fighting style also shocked all the princes speechless. Come.

"that…"

Liu Bei asked Guan Yu next to him: "Second brother, you have fought against Xiang Yu. You should know Xiang Yu's fighting style. He also fought like this before?"

"No."

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, and he said solemnly: "Xiang Yu has never used such a luxurious and squandering internal energy fighting method before."

The test on the battlefield is long-lasting combat, so even if military commanders have reached the master level, they rarely use their inner energy to fight on the battlefield, because the consumption is too great, and even the masters cannot bear it.

Before Xiang Yu broke through the Grand Master, Li Cunxiao, Yuwen Chengdu, Lu Bu, Guan Yu and others all had the strength of Grand Masters, but they rarely used their internal strength to fight. They all fought in a satisfactory manner. This is the reason.

After hearing Guan Yu’s explanation, Liu Bei’s eyes became even more confused.

“Isn’t the consumption of releasing internal air to the outside very large?”

Guan Yu took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Brother, the Grand Master and the Grand Master are two completely different realms. After breaking through the Grand Master, the inner energy will condense into liquid, and the internal force will also undergo a qualitative change, so for Xiang Yu now, This kind of consumption may be completely within his tolerance. "

At this moment, Zhang Fei on the side also interjected: "Xiang Yu himself said just now that after breaking through the Grand Master, Dantian can communicate with the outside world and recover its losses by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then asked with an ugly face: "What do you mean, third brother?"

Zhang Fei nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "It's not that Xiang Yu has not consumed anything, but he is still recovering at the same time."

Liu Bei's eyes widened immediately, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "Now we are in big trouble."

The ability to recover losses while fighting means that Xiang Yu can maintain this state and carry out continuous combat for a very long time.

If this is the case, there is little point in using ordinary soldiers to consume Xiang Yu. Only strong generals under his command can kill Xiang Yu.

Hang Yu directly releases his inner energy to fight, doubling his combat power and greatly increasing the attack distance. In addition, the protective power of the Gangqi gauze clothes is doubled, so how can ordinary soldiers not be able to withstand it.

Under Xiang Yu's full charge, the cavalry was easily pierced by Xiang Yu's cavalry, and the pikemen who were already in formation were not even as good as the cavalry. They were like tissue paper and were easily pierced by Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu had only one goal, and that was the place where Hou Yi and Li Shimin were located among the eighteen princes.

Seeing that Xiang Yu was getting closer and closer to himself and others, all the princes couldn't help but feel a little panicked when they thought about what would happen if Xiang Yu, the God of Death, came to kill him.

"Report...Xiang Yu has been killed three hundred steps away."

"Report...Xiang Yu has been killed two hundred steps away."

“Report...Xiang Yu has killed one hundred..."

Before the spy finished speaking, he was kicked down by Li Shimin and said angrily: "Go away, my leader is not blind, he can see."

“Leader, if this continues, Xiang Yu will really kill him.” Sun Jian said with a serious face.

"That's right, Xiang Yu is just a man. He has no scruples. It wouldn't be worthwhile if a few of us were buried with him before he died." Huang Zu also said quickly.

“In my opinion, it’s better to arrest Xiang Yu’s wife.”

Yuan Shu stood up at this time and said with a sinister smile: "I heard that Xiang Yu is a lover. Only Yu Shilan has a wife. If we catch her, we won't worry about Xiang Yu not being able to catch her."

Cao Cao sneered and said calmly: "Highway, we and the eighteen princes gathered here. We have hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of generals. Not only can we not do anything to Xiang Yu, but we also have to use a woman to threaten him. This matter spreads out." Aren’t you afraid of making people laugh?”

The method of using Shi Lan to blackmail Xiang Yu was naturally impossible for Li Shimin not to have thought of, and the reason why he did not do so was exactly what Cao Cao said.

Xiang Yu is now in a certain death situation. It’s not that the coalition forces can’t kill Xiang Yu, they just don’t want to suffer too much loss.

To provoke the laughter of the world for such a mortal man, for Li Shimin, who valued reputation very much, the loss was greater than the death of several generals, and it was obviously even more uneconomical.

Yuan Shu obviously didn't think much about it. After hearing Cao Cao's explanation, he immediately understood the pros and cons and immediately fell silent without saying anything.

“Xiang Yu is so close now that he has no time to make more arrangements for us.”

Looking at Xiang Yu not far away, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a trace of sinisterness, and he shouted: "We will retreat first, and then send all the generals to join forces to fight against Xiang Yu, trying to kill Xiang Yu with the smallest number. I don't believe that Xiang Yu can fight hundreds of people alone." Will."

Yang Jian nodded and shouted: "Yes, on the Eastern Front, General Yuwen and nine others almost killed Xiang Yu. Now that we and eighteen princes are here, with hundreds of generals, even if Xiang Yu has broken through the Grand Master, can it be said that Can it change the world? "

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. If you keep talking like this, Xiang Yu is really going to kill me."

Yuan Shu said impatiently, then turned his horse's head and began to retreat, and then the other princes also retreated to make room for the peak battle that followed.

“Second brother, third brother, be careful for a while.” Liu Bei said with a worried look.

Guan Yu nodded heavily, and Zhang Fei smiled heartlessly: "Don't worry, brother."

Before Li Shimin led him away, he said seriously to Li Yuanba, who could no longer hold himself any longer, "Yuanba, you must remember this. Don't fight Xiang Yu right away. First, see if Xiang Yu is acting in a deep or shallow way. Do you understand?"

Li Yuanba was originally prepared to fight Xiang Yu directly, but seeing his second brother's serious instructions, he could only nod reluctantly.
