Chapter 653: The Peak Battle (2): Riding Alone into Ten Thousands of Troops
Amidst the rain of arrows, Xiang Yu still walked around the court without even shedding a drop of sweat.
After seeing this scene, Li Shimin knew that what Xiang Yu said was true. The Gangqi Shayi really did not consume much on him. If he continued to shoot, even if it eventually killed Xiang Yu, the arrows brought by the coalition might not be enough.
This operation is only to kill Xiang Yu, so naturally it will not carry the number of arrows used in conventional warfare. After all, how many arrows are needed to kill one person?
One? Dozens of branches? Dozens? A hundred arrows would reach the sky, and no more arrows would be able to penetrate a human body.
But who could have guessed in advance that Xiang Yu's Gangqi gauze garment would have such a powerful defensive power.
Hundreds of thousands of arrows did not hit the corner of his clothes. Xiang Yu's existence has broken the common sense of war.
And if all the arrows are used up but Xiang Yu still fails to be shot to death, the situation will be extremely embarrassing.
At this thought, Li Shimin's face became extremely gloomy, and then he ordered in a deep voice: "Stop firing arrows."
The well-trained archery team immediately stopped the execution after receiving the order, put away their long bows and retreated slowly.
Shi Lan, who was at the edge of the cliff, finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this scene.
As the nemesis of all warriors, the bow and arrow still couldn't do anything to her husband. Shi Lan was sincerely proud of Xiang Yu.
But at this moment, a ray of silver light pierced the sky, like lightning, and shot towards Xiang Yu quickly.
Xiang Yu, who had a joking look on his face one second, showed a serious look the next second, and then raised the Overlord Halberd in his hand with all his strength.
Ding……
This silver arrow that broke through the air was directly picked up by Xiang Yu.
The Han coalition forces were in an uproar when they saw this scene.
Tens of thousands of archers surrounded Xiang Yu and shot hundreds of thousands of arrows, but Xiang Yu didn't even move, but he used his weapons on this arrow alone.
Who shot this arrow?
All the princes looked at Xiang Yu who was releasing the arrow, and saw Hou Yi holding a long bow and maintaining the posture of releasing the arrow, staring at Xiang Yu opposite with a solemn expression.
"What an amazing archery skill."
Cao Cao also looked shocked, and then asked Xia Houyuan beside him: "Miaocai, if it were you who took action, could you do this?"
Xia Houyuan didn't even think about it, he shook his head and said: "With such rapid strength, it can be seen that the bow used by this person may have reached ten stones, but I can only use five stones. The gap is really too big."
"So General Hou Yi is so powerful?" Cao Cao said happily.
In fact, Cao Cao had known Hou Yi for a long time. He had known Hou Yi when he was an official in Luoyang. However, Cao Cao didn't know that Hou Yi was so powerful. If he had known that he would have recruited Hou Yi long ago, of course it is not too late now.
"General Hou Yi doesn't seem to be very important in the court?"
Cao Cao thought to himself, looking at Hou Yi with a strange look in his eyes.
Taishi Ci, who was also good at swordsmanship, muttered to himself solemnly: "It's not just the bow that is strong."
Cao Cao looked puzzled when he heard this. He smiled and asked, "Little general, is there any other way to hit the arrow just now?"
Seeing that Cao Cao, as a prince, was so polite to a young general of his, Taishi Ci felt flattered and quickly explained:
"Has General Cao noticed the light on that arrow?"
Cao Cao nodded and asked, "Which one is it?"
"That's the light emitted by the inner force covering the arrow."
Taishi Ci looked up at him and said in a deep voice: "That general first covered the arrow with his internal power, and then shot the arrow out with the strength of a ten-stone bow. After the arrow was blessed by the bow and internal power, he then used By shooting at the point of arrancar, Xiang Yu was forced to use weapons."
"Inner energy covers the arrow and shoots out? Isn't this the release of inner energy?"
Cao Cao's eyes widened and he said in shock: "So, General Hou Yi is a martial arts... master?"
Taishi Ci thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Definitely."
Hearing this, the other princes also looked shocked, and their eyes turned hot when they looked at Hou Yi.
After all, Xiang Yu is a special case, and the masters are basically the leaders of hundreds of schools, so being super first-class is already the strongest among all the princes.
Now that they know that Hou Yi is the master, all the princes naturally want to take him under their command. Of course, Hou Yi, who even Qin Hao rejected, will definitely not pay attention to them.
"A ten-stone bow, a master's strength, and superb archery skills. Can the combination of these three destroy Xiang Yu's Gangqi gauze?"
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked Hou Yi: "General Hou Yi, how many more times can you use that arrow just now? Are you sure you can kill Xiang Yu?"
At this time, Hou Yi was locked by Xiang Yu's energy. He felt that he was not facing a human being, but a huge beast from the ancient times, so he didn't even dare to turn his head.
Hou Yi stared at Xiang Yu, but said decisively to Li Shimin: "No, Xiang Yu is already on guard. No matter how many arrows there are, it is impossible to hit."
A trace of annoyance flashed in Li Shimin's eyes. If he had known this, he should have asked Hou Yi to shoot cold arrows while letting Wan Jun shoot arrows. In this way, even if Xiang Yu was powerful, it would be difficult to defend against him. Unfortunately, Xiang Yu had already taken precautions.
On the other side, Xiang Yu stared at Hou Yi and said coldly: "It's you again, a despicable villain who only knows how to shoot cold arrows."
Xiang Yu was so impressed by the archer who almost killed Shi Lan that it was difficult to forget him. Now that he met Xiang Yu again, it was naturally impossible for him to let Hou Yi go.
"Well, since no one dares to fight with me, let me, Xiang Yu, experience the power of the eighteen princes."
After saying this, Xiang Yu whistled again, and the Wu Zui on the edge of the cliff immediately became restless.
Seeing this, Shi Lan immediately dismounted and let Wu Zui trample on the snow, while Xiang Yu, without even looking behind him, pointed his halberd directly at Hou Yi and roared: "Kill..."
In front of hundreds of thousands of troops, Xiang Yu took the initiative to launch a sprint. When Wu Zui caught up with him, he jumped onto his horse and rode alone to kill the eighteen princes.
"Xiang Yu doesn't take our eighteen princes in the slightest and dares to charge into the battle alone. This is extremely arrogant."
Liu Yu's face became extremely gloomy, and he immediately said to Li Shimin: "Alliance leader, Xiang Yu is already a turtle in the urn. Now he is just a trapped beast still fighting. There is no need to directly confront him. Why don't we let the soldiers go and consume his physical strength first?"
Liu Yu also saw that all the princes did not want their generals to be used as cannon fodder, so he took the initiative to let the soldiers go first.
Seeing Liu Yu give up the steps, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered: "The spearmen formed a formation, the cavalry charged, and our leader surrounded and killed Xiang Yu."
"No..." all the generals shouted in unison.
