Chapter 285: The Overlord Retreats
The vanguard led by Ji Bu and Zhong Liwei was about to break through the city gate, when suddenly flying swords from all directions gathered towards the piercing doorway, and one after another the flying swords crisscrossed and intertwined, and actually sealed the city gate violently.
There is still such a trick?
Zhong Lixuan reacted, drew his bow as he charged, and shot an arrow at the sealed wall.
A rain of arrows rose from behind like a dark cloud, all of which were guided by this arrow and concentrated past, only a series of dense and violent storms were heard, but the city wall that had been repaired by the interweaving of swords and blades remained intact, and the dense arrows were distributed like hedgehogs, but there was no way to break through the door again.
Ji Bu immediately decided: "Go directly to the wall!"
The Chu army rushed to the foot of the city wall, held up each other and jumped on the city wall, borrowing the climbing arrows left over from the previous battle, the soldiers were vigorous and quickly began to climb, although the flying swords shuttled back and forth everywhere in the air, there were constantly soldiers who were cut off their necks and fell down, and there were constantly rolling down boulders and arrows, but there was no way to stop the wolf-like Chu army.
The Chu army blessed the overlord military arts.
One by one, they have a hegemonic golden body, they don't know what fear is, their cultivation has soared, their strength has skyrocketed, and ordinary attacks are difficult to shake!
Ji Bu supplemented it with the power of the wolf and leopard and the power of the tiger and bear, which further increased its speed and strength, and even if the hole in the city gate was blocked, it would be difficult to resist the frantic attack of these soldiers.
They are athletic, just like Batman or a martial arts master.
One by one, they jumped into the city with their swords and started a hand-to-hand with the Qi army.
Zhao Kuangyin had to take the lead, rushing to the front, holding a long stick, and killing several Chu soldiers in a row.
At this time, Han Xin's military skills had gradually dried up, but he had to summon more flying swords to assist the Qi soldiers in battle. The Chu soldiers themselves are very strong in combat power, and they are blessed with powerful military skills, if they don't do this, the Qi army is not an opponent!
The number of casualties on both sides continues to rise.
This casualty was nothing to the Chu army.
But it's a bit too heavy for the Qi army!
At this time, there was a crisp and loud long roar, and suddenly echoed between heaven and earth, and everyone clearly saw that there were many black spots in the sky, and some people with excellent eyesight could distinguish that this was actually a group of giant birds with very bright wings and a very divine body.
"It's a divine bird!"
Qi people live in the East China Sea Peninsula, occasionally can see this kind of sacred bird appear, the phoenix bird is regarded as auspicious by the Qi people, such a large-scale appearance, naturally caused a sensation. These giant birds were obviously coming towards Jimo City, and when they arrived nearby, they immediately swooped down and rushed to the ground.
There are at least 500 sacred birds!
Each bird carries several people!
The Divine Bird quickly skimmed the city wall, and swept down the Chu soldiers who climbed the city wall with its sharp claws, and at the same time spewed out hot flames from its mouth, which directly turned a large number of Chu soldiers into humanoid fireballs, and the warlocks on the back of the Divine Bird were not idle, and all kinds of spells that had been brewing for a long time were sent out at the same time, bombarding the vanguard troops on the spot.
In a few seconds, the number of casualties of the Chu army exceeded 1,000.
These Divine Birds and Divine Bird Warlocks came and went quickly, and when they completed a round of attack, in order to prevent being shot down by the archers, they immediately increased their altitude and quickly broke away from the battlefield, but they did not leave, but hovered high in the air and began to brew a new round of attack.
Zhao Kuangyin showed joy: "It's finally here!"
That's right, this is a support force from Penglai!
Qin II was worried that Zhao Kuangyin's strength in Qi was not enough, so he told Lao Zhao how to contact Penglai, probably because he had a premonition that he might come into contact with Xiang Yu, so Zhao Kuangyin sent a request for help to Penglai, and this army came to support.
The phoenix bird itself is very strong in combat!
Five hundred phoenix birds are enough to withstand the combat effectiveness of 10,000 elite troops!
These phoenix birds also brought more than 3,000 divine bird warlocks, these warlocks are the best horses in Penglai, their role on the battlefield, will not be much inferior to Tian Heng's 5,000 warriors, this support force does not seem to be very numerous, in fact, at least it can be equivalent to the combat power of 30,000 or 40,000 troops!
Because it's a flying class.
So the battlefield advantage is greater.
Han Xin could only resist for one day and one night.
With the help of this force, it can be held back for at least three days!
Xiang Yu didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, in the Central Plains of the Chinese world, no prince has ever established a flying unit.
From ancient times to the present, many princes and military strategists have tried, but it is difficult to find a flying giant bird that is large enough and can be domesticated and suitable to become a mount, so this extremely powerful flying force appeared here, and immediately caused a lot of impact on the Chu army.
Xiang Yu's expression became gloomy.
Where did this army come from?
The Overlord of Western Chu finally met an opponent who could fight, and if he won easily, he would not experience the thrill of fighting at all, so this may also be a good thing.
"Let the king meet you personally!"
Xiang Yu slowly raised his hand, and the big black spear inserted in the center of the city suddenly sensed it, and Hugh had to rise from the ground, and the violent air flow generated directly cut off the bodies of several people around him, and the spear spun and flew into the air, just passing through the body of a phoenix bird, which screamed sadly and fell directly from the sky.
"Kill!"
Xiang Yu raised his hand to catch the overlord gun, the black horse and the master's heart were connected, and the magnificent horse raised its head and neighed, just about to turn into a black lightning bolt and charge towards the battlefield.
"King, King!"
"Pengcheng is in a hurry! Pengcheng is in an emergency!"
A knight rushed from behind in a panic.
Xiang Yu's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately looked back at him, his war horse was so frightened that he fell to the ground directly, and the knight was thrown out by the huge inertia, and fell not far from Xiang Yu, he rolled and crawled all over the mud, and knelt in front of Xiang Yu in embarrassment.
"What's going on?!"
"Liu Bang, the king of Han, united with the nine princes and kings to establish a coalition of more than 700,000 troops to break through Pengcheng!"
When Xiang Yu heard this, it was as if he had been struck by lightning, and his hair suddenly became full, his violent blood and qi rushed to the sky, and the clouds were directly dispersed, and at the same time of his anger, his heart tightened suddenly.
"Yu Ji, Yu Ji, how is this king's Yu Ji!"
"General Yu was captured by the Han generals, and Yu Niangniang's whereabouts are unknown!"
Xiang Yu suddenly let out a beast-like roar, he didn't even think about it, and immediately ordered the troops to be withdrawn!
Although with Xiang Yu's strength and the combat strength of the Chu army, it was only a matter of time before he broke through this Mo City, Xiang Yu also wanted to compete with the powerful soldier in Jimo City, but when he heard Peng Cheng's emergency, he had no intention of continuing to fight.
Pengcheng is the base camp of the Chu State!
If it's just Peng Cheng being contributed, it's nothing!
Xiang Yu believes that this rabble is not enough evidence at all, he can kill the past and take back the city at any time, but the estimated whereabouts are unknown, which makes Xiang Yu almost crazy, he can lose anything, because he can also get it back if he loses, but Yu Ji can't!
Yu Ji is his only weakness in this world.
Therefore, no matter what, she can't be allowed to have an accident!
He didn't allow Yu Ji to suffer any harm!
Whoever dares to hurt a single hair of Yu Ji will have his body broken into thousands of pieces, and his bones will be scattered!
As soon as the Chu army spread out, it decided not to fight! Thousands of corpses were left behind, which receded like a tide!
Zhao Kuangyin and Han Xin faced the retreating Chu army, not sure but could guess what was going on, with the strong combat effectiveness of the Chu army and the character of the overlord Xiang Yu, he would not be scared away by this support, it must be that the news of the fall of Pengcheng happened to come, so Xiang Yu would retreat in such a hurry.
Others don't know what's going on.
When the Qi people saw the mighty Chu Overlord who had not yet made a move, they all showed expressions of disbelief, and when they came to their senses, they all had an indescribable admiration for Zhao Kuangyin and Han Xin.
Xiang Yu swept the world and was never defeated.
What happened here today is enough to be a miracle!
Tian Rongzhi, the king of Qi, was very talented, and under the banner of reviving the Qi country, he led an army of 300,000, and he couldn't even defend the capital!
Qi general Zhao Kuangyin Han Xin relied on a Jimo, fifty or sixty thousand not sophisticated troops, first defeated Ji Bu and Zhong Lixuan, eliminated more than 100,000 Chu soldiers, and made the Chu overlord take the initiative to retreat, this is the person who can really carry the country alone!
............
Problems arose within the Chu army.
Why did the overlord of Chu withdraw his troops?
The battlefield situation is obviously favorable to the Chu army!
Although there is a master of soldiers to deal with, but the military skills are not stronger than Xiang Yu, although there is a strange army to deal with, but the troops of the headquarters of the overlord of Chu have not yet made a move, as long as they launch several rounds of siege in a row, they can break Jimo in three days at most and destroy this army!
After Zhong Liyuan and Ji Bu learned the reason for the retreat of the Chu Overlord, they both showed expressions of disbelief.
"Although the fall of Pengcheng is critical, our real threat should be in Jimo City!" Zhong Liwei stood up and advised Xiang Yu at this time, "The king should have seen it, the defenders in the city are the only ones who can pose a threat to His Majesty in today's Chinese world, and now is our best chance to eliminate him, if we miss this opportunity, I am afraid it will become a trouble!"
Where could Xiang Yu listen at this time: "There is no time! This king must go back to find Yu Ji!"
Han Xin is the only famous general in the world who can fight against Xiang Yu.
Before the climate has yet formed, it has already caused heavy losses to the Chu army.
If he is let go this time, it will become the climate in the future, and after commanding the army, Xiang Yu will have to pay ten times and twenty times the price if he wants to destroy him, and it may even cause direct shaking and impact on Xiang Yu's hegemony.
As long as you're not stupid, you can see it!
Is the country important or the beauty important? Not to mention that Yu Ji's life and death are uncertain now!
Ji Bu went out, "There are more than 10 million beauties in the world, but there is only one country!"
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly grabbed by a hand around his neck, and lifted this nine-foot strong man from the ground like a chicken.
Xiang Yu's eyes were red and angry: "Remember, Yu Ji, there is only one! The combined beauties in the world are not as good as her!"
"General Ji Bu's words are incorrect, but after all, he is loyal, please show mercy to the king's subordinates, don't chill the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies!" Seeing this, Zhong Liyu quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Xiang Yu, "Returning to Pengcheng from here, even if it takes about ten days to march at full speed, even if we set off immediately, we can't catch up even if we set off now!"
Xiang Yu threw Ji Bu on the ground, he walked out of the tent without looking back, waved lightly, the black horse came to the front, he grabbed the horse and said coldly: "A group of rabble, this king's headquarters of 50,000 horsemen, one day and night to Pengcheng, enough to slaughter them all!"
50,000 vs. 700,000?
50,000 horsemen still have to run thousands of miles in a day and night?!
Ji Bu got up and wanted to continue to persuade, but the overlord of Chu had disappeared.
Zhong Liyuan came over to support him, and the two looked at each other, silent and speechless, staring at the approaching night, and said with bitterness and melancholy on their faces.
"If Old Immortal Fan is here, the situation will not be like this!"
Give up killing your lifelong enemy in order to save a woman!
How many Chu army sacrifices will be added to save a woman!
Saving a woman is enough to shake his ambitions!
Among the heroes in the world, the only one who can do this is the overlord of Chu!
