When the Pengcheng Allied Army resisted the Qin Army's encirclement and annihilation, the southern part of the Yangtze River, Chu Feng began to officially declare for the restoration of the country and annihilation of the Qin.
Xiang Yu brought her two thousand Steel Cavalry to chase Long Tianyu, but was almost completely annihilated by the ambush.
Li Yuan and Xiang Liang secretly chatted with him and consoled him for a while, but their fear of Long Tianyu had unknowingly increased. They knew that this man was both wise and brave, it would be hard to deal with him defeating the ambush.
With Xiang Yu's thirty thousand cavalrymen and Xiang Liang's eight thousand men, their development was extremely fast. With the support of the Guo Family's weapons and money, the Chu Army's recruitment process was extremely chaotic, in just a few days, there were already a total of eight thousand men recruited by the Chu Army. Furthermore, there were the Guo Mansion and the prime minister's generals.
Li Yuan supported the grandson of the King Huai, Xiong Xin, as the nominal leader of the allied armies, and recovered his reputation. Xiong Xin was still the King Huai, and in order to increase his rallying power and anti-Qin feelings, his momentum reached a boiling point.
Li Yuan assisted the King Huai in establishing a capital in the longevity spring. She called herself the prime minister and also appointed Xiang Liang as the Almighty, while Xiang Yu was the Grand General and Li Yueyao was the Imperial Tutor. She was responsible for instructing the King Huai in the ways of etiquette and being a Lord.
The 80,000 strong army left behind 20,000 people to protect longevity spring city, the 60,000 strong army was temporarily led by Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, they chose the auspicious day to step up and pay their respects, and the large army set off from longevity spring, preparing to cross the Yangtze River and head north to suppress the Savage Qin.
Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu, Xiang Bo, Xiang Zhuang, Zhongli Mei, Long Qie, Jing Chu, Teng Gang and more than twenty generals had led sixty thousand troops and arrived at River City in a thousand cars, preparing to cross the river.
At this time, a dozen or so big boats came down from the upper reaches of the river. Each ship had about a thousand people and they were all flying banners.
Seeing that, Xiang Liang was startled, he turned to the generals and said: "Could it be that you are Wu Rui's allied army, I wonder what business you have in bringing your troops here?"
A man in his early thirties, tall and sturdy, jumped down from the deck of a large ship. His face was carved with the word "chin," as if stabbed with a knife, and then painted with ink before leaving an indelible mark.
It belonged to one of the sixteen "death sentences", which was used for lighter crimes. The heaviest ones in the meat torture were the torture of "men cutting off force, women closing up in seclusion", the torture of amputated feet, and so on. As for the punishment of chiseling, flailing, and cooking, it was even more brutal.
Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu and the rest saw that he held a crescent blade in his hand and was dressed in a military armor. He was different from the average person, and just from his imposing manner, they knew that he was a great general with great skills and martial arts.
The man immediately cut his sword horizontally, and said loudly: "I am Ying Bu, a citizen of Liuyi County, and heard that Chu had conscripted troops to kill Qin, and that they will cross the river in a short period of time. I shall meet with people who have ordered me to destroy Qin, and if Ying Bu is not talented, he will boldly propose that we split up all the forces in the world, making it difficult for us to defend against the Qin Army and the Tigers.
Xiang Liang said: That's right, it's a good idea, what advice do you have for me?
Ying Bu laughed: I have long heard of the Xiang Family's famous reputation, if there is anyone in the army who can win, then Ying Bu is willing to lead the army and join Xiang Jun, a total of north to Qin, if I am lucky and win in just one and half moves, how about we invite Xiang Jun to join us?
Xiang Liang thought: "What big words you have there, why did you come here to fight?" He knew that her nephew Xiang Zhuang had learned the sword under the West Chu's Xuan Yuan Sword Sect since young, and was quite the authentic, expert in sword arts, and had hidden herself as Xiang Jun's number one swordsman.
How could Xiang Yu not understand? She turned her head to the general behind him and asked: "Which one of us is able to subdue this person?"
Zhongli Mei shouted an order as he pushed his horse out of the crowd and brandished his spear. Like a poisonous snake, it flew towards the opponent's vital points.
Ying Bu was not alarmed by the sudden attack, he immediately grabbed his blade's hilt and cut down, with a crisp dang sound, the two blades clashed with the power of his arms.
The opponent's moves were very simple, like a horizontal chop, a vertical slash, a straight lift, and a great coincidence. Although the moves he used were not complete, they were all extremely powerful, with a tricky position. They caught the opponent off guard and were hard to defend against.
In less than thirty rounds of battle on horseback, when Zhongli Mei's opponent's crescent blade was pressing down, he was already at his wit's end, the long spear had released too little defense. Xiang Yu saw that he would lose in less than twenty rounds, she shouted: "Li Wen, retreat.
Zhongli Mei made up his mind. With a shot of his spear, he turned around and left. Ying Bu did not chase after him, but instead, he focused on the person who gave the order.
Xiang Yu gave a long whistle, raising her halberd and charging forward. As fast as lightning, her sharpness was revealed.
Ying Bu was shocked by the other party's imposing aura and thought that he should not be underestimated. He slashed horizontally at the waist, the blade flashed, and the wind whistled.
The crescent-shaped support at the tip of the halberd was pressing against the edge of the crescent moon blade, causing Ying Bu to tremble. Blood spurted out of his mouth and his entire body leaned back against the horse, trying to escape the attack range of the halberd, he waved his blade and struck to cut into Xiang Yu's abdomen.
With his blade dancing in the air, Ying Bu created a curtain of light in front of his chest, covering his head with his blade and preventing the enemy's Sky Dragon City Breaking Halberd from penetrating through, but when the blade clashed, the halberd was not able to break through, causing Ying Bu to be at a loss on what to do, and he was in an extremely sorry state.
The two of them fought for 50 rounds, Ying Bu's hands were weak, his arms were still trembling, his blade was unstable as it was flung back by the halberd. In a moment of desperation, he pulled out the sword at his waist to block, and only then was he able to escape death and escape from the attack of the halberd.
Ying Bu was scared to the point that he broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that this youth's ability was too strong, he could not win in any way, hence he said in shock: "This humble one is truly convinced of my loss, may I know this general's name?"
Hearing his command, Xiang Yu withdrew his halberd and replied: "I, Xiang Ji, will watch my movements. There are very few opponents under my halberd who have fought more than thirty rounds. Since entering the Central Plains, you are the second person, full of joy!"
Ying Bu knew that what he said was not empty words, if not, he would not have lost so easily after fifty rounds. Now that he was praised by him, he could not help but gain a lot of face, and asked curiously: "I wonder who the other strong general is, which side will be able to win against?"
Xiang Yu's brows twitched, and her tiger eyes shone, as she said coldly: "He is the commander of the's allied forces, the famous Long Tianyu of the Central Plains. If you are not convinced, then go and fight him yourself."
Ying Bu was startled, and slowly nodded. "No wonder, no wonder!" He still wanted to ask, 'According to the rumors, this person's swordsmanship is extremely high.
But seeing the sullen face of the other party, he knew that he had suffered in secret before, and was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he swallowed back the words from his mouth, and his admiration for Long Tianyu grew even deeper, using the words of a demon to describe it was not excessive.
Ying Bu then brought ten thousand troops to join the group, bringing the total number of people on the river bank to seventy thousand. On the Yangtze River shore, there was a sea of people, with many flags fluttering about, Ying Bu was preparing to cross the river one after another, when suddenly a small boat floated in the middle of the river, on it stood an old man, who seemed to be around seventy years old, looking spirited, his eyes sparkling, and his silver beard fluttering in the wind.
The old man rode a boat across the river, singing loudly, "Young Yu is very good. He is both old and not weak... Riding the boat to the west, Qi Wu Rankings to fight for survival. The ship's face and not into the West, flooded back into the water and stagnated. The morning sun was rising. His heart was still as straight as his back, how could he be hurt while he was still far away! "I don't know …"
