Thinking of that woman Yu Ji, Liu Yu had to express his admiration. This woman's abilities are stronger than ninety-nine percent of the men in the world.
Over the years, the other party has caused them a lot of trouble in Jingbei. Moreover, this woman was responsible for sending troops to the Jin army. Although the final result was somewhat unsatisfactory, it must be said that the other party had a high vision.
At this time, it is the best way for the weak princes to join forces to restrict the strong princes. If the weak princes are still fighting each other to death at this time, they may not be able to achieve much expansion. After all, no one is said to be much stronger than the other. But when Li Xiang, a powerful prince, is ready, the weak princes like them will be in trouble.
Moreover, it was precisely because of his own ability that the other party achieved a great position in the Xiang clan.
Otherwise, how could a woman alone, even if she was Xiang Yu's wife, be qualified to serve as a hostage so that both parties could have peace of mind for a brief and alternative cooperation. In ancient times, a woman's social status was limited after all.
Therefore, with Jingbei having such a card, Liu Yu is not worried about the opponent turning against him.
"Order Xiang Zhuang to lead half of Shenxi's troops to cut off the rear!" Xiang Yan looked at the retreating generals below and said cruelly.
Attacked from the front and back, but the front is retreating steadily, it is impossible to fight at this time, and the main thing should be to preserve the main force.
The three cavalry teams of Tenglong, Leibao, and Huying are indeed a trump card of the Xiang clan, and they are also the elites they have worked hard to build.
However, the princes located in the south naturally have a huge disadvantage in developing cavalry power. Therefore, they inevitably focused more efforts on developing infantry or naval forces. The Shenxi Division is the elite infantry of the Xiang clan, and it is also the last trump card that Xiang Yan has retained to this day.
The Shenxi Division was the most famous army of the Chu State during the Warring States Period.
At that time, in order to meet the needs of national development, the Chu State used the brave and militant tradition of Shen and Xi people to build a powerful local army "Shen Xi's Division" with generous treatment.
After the formation of Shenxi's division, he made many military exploits and rapidly rose in status, and was ordered to guard the northern border of Chu State. After the King of Chuzhuang became "a blockbuster", he handed over Shenxi's army to the command of Ling Yin Sun Shu'ao.
In 597 BC, Shen Xi's army defeated the main force of the Jin army in the "Bi" battle between Jin and Chu, which determined the overlordship. The "Master of Shenxi" became powerful throughout the world, and King Chuzhuang became the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. The "Master of Shenxi" performed outstandingly in the Battle of Chengpu and the Battle of Bi, important battles in the Spring and Autumn Period, and made great achievements in the hegemony of the Chu State. Even the Jin State tried to avoid its edge.
The "Master of Shenxi" is almost a symbol of the rise of Chu State, and it will naturally decline with Chu State. In 506 BC, Sun Wu led the Wu army to capture the capital of Chu, and disaster struck. Although the Chu State recovered with the help of Shenxi's children and the Qin army, Shenxi's army suffered a heavy blow and gradually declined.
Many years ago, when Xiang Yan thought of forming an elite infantry force, he inevitably thought of the name Shenxi's Division. It has to be said that the Xiang family is inextricably linked to the Chu State. As a noble of the Chu State, there are records about Shenxi's division and the military training of the year within the Xiang family.
Therefore, after a lot of hard work and selecting the best men in the army, Xiang Yan finally copied this army.
Let’s talk about the troops after the break. Generally speaking, few people in the troops doing this kind of work can return alive. Shen Xi's army totaled ten thousand people, but Xiang Yan threw half of his strength here at once, which also shows the courage of this old general.
"Brothers, retreat!" As Xiang Yan issued the order, the generals who had been struggling to support them immediately stopped holding on and hurriedly tried their best to retreat. Of course, this is naturally inseparable from the cover of the two sharpshooters Zhong Limei and Pan Dang.
In this battle, these two marksmen played a huge role. If it were not for the secret help of these two people's bows and arrows, many of the generals of the Xiang clan would have perished this time.
"I want to leave!" Huang Tianhua took out something from his waist. How could he let these people leave so easily?
"go!"
"Ding, as soon as Huang Tianhua's Sky Nail skill effect is activated, when using the unique hidden weapon Heart Nail or Fire Dragon Mark, after activation, the force will be +9 instantly, and the force will be restored after the hidden weapon is used. Huang Tianhua's force +9, Spirit Hammer skill effect 3 is invalid, currently The force rose to..."
"No, brother, be careful!" Huang Tianhua's target was originally Ji Bu, one of the five tiger generals, but Ji Xin, who had been paying attention to the situation, noticed Huang Tianhua's movements and jumped behind his eldest brother Ji Bu at the last moment. He used his own body to help Ji Bu block the blow.
"Little brother!" His brother died in the battle to protect him. Ji Bu's teeth were about to burst at this time, and he who had always been rational became a little reckless. Fortunately, there was a dragon beside him, who knocked Ji Bu unconscious and prevented him from doing anything impulsive.
"Ding, the second effect of Zhong Limei's wind attack skill is activated, the force is +6, the current force is increased to..."
"Damn it, it's this bastard again!" Huang Tianhua said angrily as he knocked away the incoming cold arrow.
In this battle, if it weren't for these two guys who only dared to hurt people in the dark, he would have had several opportunities to kill the enemy generals.
Not only him, but others were also seriously disturbed by Zhong Limei and Pan Dang. Although Shi Jiedu unleashed a set of combos, the ten of them, together with several other generals of the Xiang clan, were still defeated by Lu Wenlong, Kang Junli, Li Siyuan, Shi Jingsi and others.
But in the end, Lu Wenlong and the others only killed five generals including Zhou Ang, Qiu Yue, and Bao Long. Among them, Zhong Limei and Pan Dang are closely related.
"Xiang Yu, don't even think about escaping!" Li Cunxiao shouted angrily. He was unwilling to let go after catching Xiang Yu and chased after Xiang Yu closely.
"Xiang Yu!" Li Cunxiao's loud shout also attracted Huang Tianhua's attention, and he immediately got rid of the anger of Long Qie running away. Xiang Yu's head is much more valuable than the heads of other generals of the Xiang clan.
Of course, Huang Tianhua never really thought that he could kill Xiang Yu. Wasn't it because Xiang Yu was still chasing Li Cunxiao closely behind him?
"Ding, as soon as Huang Tianhua's Sky Nail skill is activated, when using the unique hidden weapon Heart Nail or Fire Dragon Mark, after activation, the force will be +9 instantly, and the force will be restored after the hidden weapon is used. Huang Tianhua's force +9, Spirit Hammer skill effect 3 is invalid, currently The force rose to..."
Fire Dragon Biao took action again. His attack did not have any actual effect this time. He only needed to block Xiang Yu for a moment.
"Get out!" The angry Xiang Yu swung his heavy halberd at the Fire Dragon Biao. Under Xiang Yu's huge strength, the Fire Dragon Biao was swept back towards Huang Tianhua by the halberd. Huang Tianhua was so shocked that he hurriedly dodged. But he never thought that one day, he would be at a loss by his own hidden weapon.
"Young Master, retreat quickly!"
Just when Xiang Yu was blocked by Huang Tianhua and Li Cunxiao thought he had a chance to catch up with Xiang Yu, a force of 5,000 men appeared and firmly protected Xiang Yu in the center.
