Chapter 651: Fighting alone against the eighteen princes
Pursued by hundreds of thousands of troops, Xiang Yu and Shi Lan, who had long been desperate, were finally forced to the edge of a cliff on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and below was the rapid water that could swallow anything.
There are hundreds of thousands of aggressive Han troops in the front, and there is a bottomless abyss in the rear. No matter which one you choose, you will be in a desperate situation.
Xiang Yu stood on the top of a thousand-foot-high cliff, looking at his hometown Jiangdong across the river, feeling neither ups and downs nor joy nor sorrow in his heart.
"The day finally came."
Xiang Yu whispered to himself, then turned around and said with an apologetic smile to Shi Lan in his arms: "I'm sorry Shi Lan, I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise to you."
It's really not that easy to survive. Xiang Yu sighed in his heart.
Drawn by some of Xiang Yu's liquid internal energy to cleanse the menstrual marrow, Shi Lan's pierced wound has now become scabbed, but her body is still extremely weak.
"It doesn't matter."
Shi Lan forced a smile, stretched out her hand to touch Xiang Yu's handsome cheek, and said softly: "When you are alive, your husband is accompanied by his concubine; when he dies, your husband is also accompanied by his concubine."
"If you have such a wife, what more can a husband ask for?"
Xiang Yu grabbed Shi Lan's pale jade hand, his eyes full of tenderness, and said happily: "Shi Lan, if there is an afterlife, I, Xiang Yu, will still marry you."
"Um."
Shi Lan happily rested in Xiang Yu's arms, and the couple enjoyed the last warm moments of their lives together.
Tread...tap...tread...
After the sound of horse hoofbeats, the flag with the word "Li" fluttered. It was Li Shimin, the leader of the alliance, who arrived, followed by Cao, Yuan, Liu, Yang, Sun, Han, Song, Tao, Wang, Lu, Huang, Kong, Gongsun and other great leaders. Flags also appeared together.
It is worth mentioning that Liu Yao, who had been defeated by Xiang Yu, Kong Rong, who was ambushed by Huang Chao, and Tao Qian, who was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang, also joined this 'hunt'.
After Liu Yao's 60,000-strong army was defeated by Xiang Yu's 10,000-horse army, he became the laughing stock of all the princes. Therefore, he naturally hated Xiang Yu and participated in this operation no matter what.
Kong Rong believed that Xiang Yu would die this time, so he came specifically to gain reputation and join in the fun.
Tao Qian was much luckier. Although he was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang did not counterattack Xuzhou afterwards. Therefore, Tao Qian became the biggest beneficiary of the Battle of Ming Dynasty and became the only one besides Dong Zhuo. A great prince who controlled an entire state.
Tao Qian had already taken such a big advantage, and it seemed that it would be unjustifiable for Fuming not to participate in the final battle.
Due to the previous disastrous defeat, Tao Qian had psychological shadow about leading the army on the expedition, so this time he did not come in person, but asked his younger brother Tao Yuanming to lead the army on his behalf.
Li Shimin, Yang Jian, Li Yuan, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Yu, Liu Yao, Liu Bei, Song Jiang, Kong Rong, Wang Lang, Lu Kang, Huang Zu, Han Xin, Tao Yuanming, Gongsun Xuanyuan.
The purpose of gathering the eighteen princes and their representatives here is to kill Xiang Yu. Who else in the world can have such treatment?
Along with the eighteen princes, there were hundreds of fierce generals following them. Each of them looked at Xiang Yu like a wolf.
Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second.
In the Battle of Ming Dynasty, with the nine generals who fought against Yuwen Chengdu alone, Xiang Yu regained the title of "No. 1 in the world".
After the news came out that Xiang Yu had broken through to the Grand Master level, Xiang Yu was completely assured of his position as 'No. 1 in the world'.
A whole generation of people fought against each other, but the title of "number one in the world" still returned to Xiang Yu.
This is such a desperate fact, and it also makes all the warriors born in Xiang Yu's generation feel extremely unwilling.
While he was still sprinting towards the super first-class realm, Xiang Yu had not only reached the super first-class level, he could even surpass the level and defeat the martial arts master;
When I thought about the Grandmaster and launched the sprint, Xiang Yu had not only reached the Grandmaster, but even had the combat power to match or even surpass the Great Grandmaster.
A few junior masters have just appeared among the warriors of his generation, but Xiang Yu has already broken through to the great master level.
Can't catch up, really can't catch up.
No one in the entire generation can catch up with Xiang Yu's footsteps.
Being too good is actually a sin.
Xiang Yu is like a big mountain, covering up the brilliance of ninety percent of the warriors of his generation, so that everyone can only look up at his back without any hope of transcendence.
Therefore, if Xiang Yu does not die, wouldn't it prove that everyone of his generation is useless?
Xiang Yu must die. All the generals thought with great determination at the same time.
Li Shimin saw that he had led hundreds of thousands of princes from the 18th Route, but Xiang Yu not only ignored him, but also had the leisure to flirt in front of thousands of troops. His calmness and indifference to death made Li Shimin's heart An inexplicable surge of anger emerged.
Li Shimin drew out the long sword from his waist, pointed it at Xiang Yu, and shouted sternly: "Xiang Yu, you are cruel and unkind, slaughtering the people, and causing harm to the world. I, Li Shimin, have been entrusted by the seventeen princes. Today I will represent justice, justice, and the way of heaven. I swear I want to destroy this devil like you.”
Looking at the endless pursuers in front of him and Li Shimin who was righteously condemning himself, Xiang Yu's eyes were full of disdain.
Seeing that Shi Lan was a little uneasy in his arms, Xiang Yu held her jade hand and said softly: "It's okay, madam. Although there are many of these people, few of them can catch my eye. I'll let you see me soon." Look, your husband is the strongest man in the world."
Shi Lan, who was impressed by Xiang Yu's calmness, said softly: "In my heart, husband, you have always been number one in the world."
His wife's encouragement made Xiang Yu full of strength, so he got off his horse, picked up the Overlord Halberd, closed his eyes and walked slowly towards the front of the formation.
In the process of walking, Xiang Yu's body gradually glowed with Gang Qi gauze, and then a shocking momentum rose into the sky. It was so frightening that all the troops were panicked, and then they all slowly retreated unconsciously.
"Is this Gang Qi gauze clothing?"
In the coalition army, Guan Yu next to Liu Bei saw this, his eyes widened immediately, and he said with shock: "Xiang Yu really broke through the Grand Master?"
Seeing this, Taishi Ci beside Kong Rong smiled bitterly in disbelief.
Taishi Ci originally thought that Xiang Yu's breakthrough to the Grand Master was just a rumor. After all, the thirty-year-old Grand Master was indeed too terrifying, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he had to believe it.
"The thirty-year-old Grand Master." Tai Shici said with a bitter look on his face.
Seeing this, Gongsun Xuanyuan clenched his fists unwillingly.
Xiang Yu, how did you practice? Is it possible that the advantages of fellow practitioners' two kinds of internal strength are so great? "
When he thought of the risks of fellow practitioners practicing two types of internal energy, Gongsun Xuanyuan sighed and shook his head, thinking: This lunatic!
