Hua Mulan naturally looked at Zhang Liang, and after thinking for a while, she started and walked forward, so Zhang Liang also followed Xiang Yu's direction in the void and flew away slowly.

"King Chu, I have something unclear and want to ask you." As she walked, Mulan asked Xiang Yu, who was walking in the front.

"There's something you want to ask, but it's okay to ask." Xiang Yu said briskly. "When I came to Lingcheng before, I repeatedly observed the surrounding landforms, and found that within a hundred miles, the back gate of Lingcheng was the only intersection through this pass, and you had been in the border city before, so it stands to reason that after you arrived at Lingcheng, you should also enter through the front gate and rush to the back gate - but you just appeared directly outside the back gate...... This ......"

"Well, you observed correctly, the city gate of Lingcheng is indeed the only way to pass through this pass within a hundred miles, because Lingcheng is a strategic focus of the Qin Chu Inner Kingdom, so there can be no other way around it...... But it's also because Lingcheng is too important a strategic priority, so just in case, I can't let it have only one way to go......" Xiang Yu said, with a serious face, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, "Three years ago, before going to the border town to guard the border, I dug a secret passage under the Lingcheng......"

"Before Ying Zheng named me the protector of the king, I have always been the guard of Lingcheng, when I left, considering all the variables that may occur in the future, I left a secret path here - Lingcheng is the military center of Qin and Chu, and it is a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, as the commander of an army, of course I have to be fully prepared." Hearing Xiang Yu's explanation, the doubts between Hua Mulan and Zhang Liang's brows gradually disappeared. And Xiang Yu, who had been walking in front, sighed lightly without anyone noticing, he really didn't expect that one day, this tunnel would be used in such a situation...... At this moment, a light purple halo suddenly emerged in the void around Xiang Yu, condensing into a layer of transparent shield.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan both subconsciously became cautious, staring directly at the strange shield, of course they could see that the shield was not caused by Xiang Yu's own energy. So extra shock, who could directly exert energy on Xiang Yu without being deterred by Xiang Yu's domineering in this situation without warning!

Xiang Yu looked at the shield that suddenly appeared around him, and raised his hand to signal Zhang Lianghua Mulan behind him not to be nervous, it seemed that he was very calm. Immediately afterwards, the space bounded by Xiang Yu's shield began to shake, the light and darkness, shape and color in the space were distorted and blended, and Zhang Lianghua Mulan, who was standing behind, could no longer see Xiang Yu's appearance at all.

Suddenly, the space maintained by that layer of shield was torn apart by an inexplicable force, and in the strange and deep dimensional crack, another stream of identical purple light emerged - the dimensional crack healed, the space returned to stability, and a figure standing still in the same light purple shield appeared next to Xiang Yu, in front of Zhang Lianghua Mulan.

The man tapped the shield with his hand, and then the light purple shield around him and Xiang Yu immediately dissolved into a crystal light and flowed back into his body. Zhang Liang looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, he had light purple hair, his hair was like a fluff, his eyebrows were shallow and flat, but his pupils were always with a faint light, his breath was low-key and introverted, but his temperament was beyond the ordinary.

With just a glance, Zhang Liang felt a hint of approachability and profundity for this man who suddenly appeared. This is the first person he has met since leaving Fengqi Mountain who can give him such a feeling—and there may not be a second one. And the point that Hua Mulan saw was obviously different from Zhang Liang, what she observed at the first time was not what the person was like, judging from Xiang Yu's demeanor before, this person should not be an enemy, so there was no need to worry about it, so the first thing she noticed was the power used by that person - opening the dimensional crack and instantly appearing next to Xiang Yu - this is clearly the power of space leaping!

The only known space crossing power in this world is the Returning Order, but the ultimate goal of using the Returning Command must be each Origin Spiritual Land, but this person obviously did not use the Returning Order...... In this case............ A shock that could not be concealed appeared in Mulan's eyes.

"Are you here......" Xiang Yu looked at the man who suddenly appeared next to him, frowned slightly, and asked, "Why" I went to five cities successively, and finally went to Xianyang Palace to confront Yingzheng - everything is true. Liu Bang frowned and said in a deep voice. Ying Zheng ......" Xiang Yu stared at him, unconsciously clenched his fists, and a deep anger surged between his seven orifices.

"I have already declared war on him in the name of the border city forces............ Liu Bang continued to say in a deep voice, "We have all seen the current situation in the inner country...... But I suspect that these situations may be more complicated than we see............"

"Hmm...... After settling down the situation in Lingcheng, we will discuss it in the evening......" Xiang Yu looked at Liu Bang's eyes and motioned for him to stop talking. At this time, Liu Bang, who was in a hurry, realized that there were two other people beside him. It seems that he really focused too much on thinking about the situation, and even ignored that there were others around Xiang Yu.

"I'll introduce you to two friends first—they are both friends of Han Xin......" Xiang Yu said to Liu Bang, and then moved his gaze to Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan behind him.

"This is Mulan......" Xiang Yu pointed to the woman with long cherry red hair and said to Liu Bang. Hello. Looking at the woman in front of him holding a giant sword and a sharp breath, Liu Bang's eyes couldn't help but flash, especially after hearing Xiang Yu's introduction - although Xiang Yu didn't go into details, but with that name - "Mulan" - Liu Bang instantly felt a little shocked.

"And this brother, he is Han Xin's brother-in-law......" Xiang Yu said and pointed to Zhang Liang on the side. The silver hair was messy but not messy, and his eyes were deep but not hairy - Liu Bang's eyes suddenly froze when he fell on the man, especially when he saw the ancient book of words and spirits that the man was always holding in his hand, he was even more sincerely excited.

"Mr. Zhang Liang." Without waiting for Xiang Yu's introduction, Liu Bang had already greeted Zhang Liang who was standing in front of him, and between his words, he actually bowed to Zhang Liang. "You know him?" Xiang Yu on the side "roared!! "In this one charge after another, another group of people must have fallen, and the sound of artillery fire also sounded, and the whole city seemed to tremble in the heavy bombardment.

The skinny old woman cowered in the corner of the side alley, hugging her five-year-old grandson tightly, so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything. The war came too suddenly, and they ran too slowly, out of the crowd, surrounded by war and fighting, and could only hide in this corner, praying that they would avoid this war.

"Grandma...... I'm afraid of ......" "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, grandma is here, hug grandma, I'm not afraid......" "Ah! With a cry of death, a soldier in iron armor collapsed at the mouth of the alley, hot blood splattered on the wall, dripping onto an old man and a grandson. Seeing the pale and distorted face of the dead man, the grandson was about to scream subconsciously, and the old woman quickly covered his little mouth. But a short exclamation was heard, and the deafening sound of artillery fire alarmed a soldier who was close to the alley. Searching for the scream, a large gray-white wolf poked its head into the side alley, twitching its sensitive nose and waiting viciously with dark green eyes for the old and young cowering in the corner.

"Hey, there are two refugees, an old man and a child......" The warrior riding on the gray wolf shouted to his comrades not far away, the long knife he held in his hand still dripping with the blood of the soldier who had fallen at the mouth of the alley, and then turned to the old man and the child and said, "Old woman, you still lead them behind the battle line, here we block the ......" his comrades responded. "Are you hurt? If you can still move, come with me. The warrior on the back of the wolf said to them, "I will take you to safety." ”

When the old woman heard the warrior's words, she raised her head timidly, and the young and ignorant little grandson also secretly raised her eyes to look at the handsome warrior riding on the wolf. At this moment, another cannonball flew in the air and exploded on the ground a few meters behind the warrior, and the flames and smoke exploded, but the warrior's body blocked all this. "Don't be afraid, we are here to save you...... I used to be from Lingcheng. In the midst of the battle, the warriors struggled to squeeze a smile out of their faces.

That's right, they, he was also a child of Lingcheng, and most of them followed Xiang Yu when he was still a Lingcheng guard. Now, they're back, in ways they never thought possible. The streets outside the alley are just a corner of the battlefield. The Hundred Beast Legion was so strong that it pressed the defenders of Lingcheng to the middle of the city, but when they arrived, they were desperately blocked by the enemy.

Gray wolves, brown bears, black-armored rhinoceros, and all kinds of wild beasts roared one after another, interspersed with the roaring cannon fire, which looked extremely terrifying. The brave warriors of the border city rode the violent beasts and rushed to kill on the battlefields in the streets and alleys, and the ordinary soldiers stationed in the mausoleum city could not stop this beast cavalry led by Xiang Yu's domineering spirit at all. In the face of the fierce attack of the gray-haired wolf, their swords were completely unable to attack, and in the face of the giant palm of the wild bear, their shield armor appeared extremely fragile, and as for the collision of the plate armor black rhino, they were even more vulnerable. "Don't be afraid, we must hold on to !!" Kira, who was just the squad leader of the patrol army, stood on the top of a three-story building and shouted to all the defenders of the mausoleum city, in this battle, he had inexplicably become the commander of the defenders with the orders of Arthur and Zhong Wuyan.

"Our front cannot be retreated, everyone must hold on desperately - don't be afraid, General Arthur and the Boss will soon come to our aid!!" "Siege engines, open fire!! Super creep, step forward to block !! Everyone's insistence!! In Kira's shouts one after another, the weak defenders became more and more courageous, and they all believed in their hearts that as long as Arthur and Zhong Wuyan arrived, they would definitely be able to turn the battlefield around, and with their strength, these beasts and animals would not be a problem at all...... Just hold on a little longer.

So the siege engines sprayed cannonball after cannonball, suppressing the pace of the Hundred Beast Legion with artillery and smoke outside the battle line, and the super soldiers rushed forward one after another, slamming together with the mighty wild bears, while the ordinary soldiers also kept brandishing their swords and throwing spears, so as not to give those swift gray wolf cavalry a chance.

The war, which had forced half of the mausoleum, was stalemate in such a resolute and tragic way. "Damn! How did they suddenly become so brave? Ji Bu frowned and rebuked. On the top of a stone building at the rear of the battle line, Long He, the leader of the Kuiwolf Regiment, and Ji Bu, the leader of the Black Rhino Regiment, were watching the battle situation from afar with the artillery fire and the roaring beasts. "I guess I chose the Jedi fight to wait for reinforcements...... It's not good for us if we go on like this......" Ryuge replied in a deep voice.

"No energy consumption...... Gather the Kuiwolf cavalry and the black rhino heavy armor soldiers, and concentrate their forces to break through to a point......" As he spoke, Long He immediately took out a black wooden horn from his waist and blew out a burst of echoes. The Kuiwolf cavalry, who were charging or fighting all around, immediately broke away from the current battle and looked in the direction of the sound of the horn.

"Gather together and raid in one direction!!" The dragon roared. At the same time, Ji Bu also issued an order to the black rhino heavy armor soldiers around him, and in a short time, they gathered together under the command of the two regiment commanders, and gathered into a majestic beast frenzy, charging towards the defense line composed of forty super soldiers and one hundred and twenty siege vehicles.

The wolf howl and rhino roar rolled out like a torrent of thunder, startling the soldiers at a loss - several gray-haired Kui wolves rushed to the defense line first, jumped up, opened their claws and pounced on those soldiers, and the cavalry riding on the Kui wolf did not hesitate to draw their swords and slash, and the defenders behind the defense line were suddenly disrupted by the fierce attack, and at the same time, the black rhino troops also rushed in, and those copper-skinned and iron-clad black rhinoceros fiercely crashed into the interception of the super soldiers.

"No, we can't hold it anymore......" said a wounded soldier as he fled to the side, pale as he turned to Kira, who was standing on the roof...... Kira ignored him, there were so many people who let out such a wail moan, he couldn't hear it and didn't want to hear it anymore - he just hoped that Arthur and they would come soon—"We ...... It's going to be unstoppable......" Soon, the defense line of the defenders of Lingcheng was torn open by the powerful beasts, and then, the entire Hundred Beast Legion poured in like a flood that broke the embankment, and the defenders of Lingcheng could no longer resist it. "Hold on, hold on!! We can't just fall like that......" Chira screamed at the routed defenders. At this moment, a cavalryman jumped onto the roof of the house on a Quiwolf and pounced on Kira, who was commanding the defenders. Seeing the gray-haired wolf swooping towards her, Kira instinctively dodged to the left, but accidentally fell from the roof and fell heavily to the ground.

Kira spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to get up from the ground. At this moment, as far as he could see, there were panicked soldiers desperately escaping past him, and then the Hundred Beast Legion was charging strongly, and they had completely suppressed the defenders of Lingcheng.

The whole line of defense is crumbling. "Can't escape! We can't afford to stand back! General Arthur ............"

In a trance, the violent battlefield fell silent, the Hundred Beast Legion stopped the pursuit, and the fleeing defenders froze their breath.
