When Xiang Yu was sweeping across Jiangdong and even Quezhou, Han Xin had already carefully studied Xiang Yu through the Luowang (a network of secret agents).
His martial prowess was unparalleled in the world, and he commanded an extremely elite Iron Cavalry, the Overlord Cavalry.
Under these circumstances, Long Junzuo's Da Yong Long Que Army might not necessarily be a match for Xiang Yu.
However, now Long Junzuo is already showing signs of leading his Dao soldiers—the Dayong Longque Army—to submit to the Jiuxiao Army.
Therefore, Han Xin could not stand idly by and watch the Dayong Longque Army fight Xiang Yu and his Overlord Cavalry alone.
He could only take a deep breath, his face grim, and begin to arrange for the Nine Heavens Army to head south to meet Long Junzuo!
...
Meanwhile, in the southern part of Wenzhou, night fell, and the silvery moonlight shone on this land that was about to witness a clash of history.
Xiang Yu rode his magnificent black steed, with his massive Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd held horizontally across its back. Behind him stood the Overlord Cavalry, like a dark cloud pressing down, clad in heavy armor and radiating a fervent fighting spirit.
A gust of wind blew by, bringing a touch of coolness, but it also seemed to foreshadow the impending flames of war.
"Your Majesty, there are enemy troops ahead!"
A cavalryman of the Overlord charged from the front, his voice trembling slightly under Xiang Yu's piercing gaze.
"Oh?"
"Who is this fool who dares to block my path, Xiang Yu?"
Xiang Yu chuckled lightly, his contempt for the unknown opponent who dared to engage him and his Overlord Cavalry in open battle on the plains.
"It is the Dragon Sparrow Army of the Great Yong Dynasty, led by Dragon Lord Zuo himself."
The scout whispered, as if even mentioning the name made him feel an invisible pressure.
"Long Junzuo? He's not bad, but..."
Xiang Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
"The mere Dragon Sparrow Army of the Great Yong Dynasty dares to block the path of my Overlord Cavalry? They are truly overestimating themselves!"
He paused, then burst into laughter.
Xiang Yu's laughter echoed in the night sky, carrying a hint of arrogance and unruliness.
Why use the Great Yong Dragon Sparrow Army to block me of all sorts of soldiers?
Xiang Yu's lips curled into a ferocious smile.
Now, the Longque Army of the Great Yong Dynasty is no longer the threat he once was.
After destroying Sparrow State and capturing and killing the Sparrow King, Xiang Yu not only looted a large amount of treasure from the Sparrow King's palace.
More importantly, he obtained the training methods of the Great Yong Dragon Sparrow Army and the diagrams of military formations in the Sparrow King's Mansion!
This valuable intelligence gave him a completely new understanding of the Taoist army that had once struck fear into the hearts of countless enemies, and also revealed their weaknesses.
Therefore, he knew all the weaknesses of the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army!
"Pass down the order: the entire army must speed up and prepare to engage the enemy!"
Xiang Yu waved his hand, his tone full of domineering power. The many Overlord Cavalry soldiers behind him responded in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth, as if even the stars in the night sky trembled.
Beside him, Long Ju, who had been repeatedly reminded by Fan Zeng, had a furrowed brow and his eyes flashed with complex emotions.
He knew that Xiang Yu's confidence stemmed from his deep understanding of the Longque Army of Dayong, but this confidence sometimes worried him.
"Your Majesty, the Dragon Sparrow Army of Dayong was once the elite of the Dayong Dynasty, and should not be underestimated."
Also clad in beast armor, Long Qi, blending seamlessly with the Overlord's cavalry, whispered a reminder, trying to keep Xiang Yu on his guard.
"Long Ju, when did you become so cautious? Since I, Xiang Yu, first rose to prominence, have I ever feared any opponent?"
"Moreover, I know the formations, tactics, and even every possible weakness of the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army like the back of my hand."
Xiang Yu laughed heartily, with a touch of wildness and unruliness.
Before long, the two armies faced each other across an open field.
On the side of the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army, Long Junzuo, Qian Dazong, and Guan Changcun stood side by side, with the Dragon Sparrow Army soldiers behind them in perfect formation and with an imposing aura.
"Xiang Yu, you traitor, today is your end!"
Long Junzuo roared, his voice filled with rage, as he gripped his spear tightly, the tip pointing directly at Xiang Yu, as if he wanted to materialize his hatred and anger and pierce the other's heart.
"Hmph, it's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly."
"Long Junzuo, your Great Yong Dragon Sparrow Army dares to deliver yourself to my doorstep! I was originally somewhat regretful that I, Xiang Yu, didn't encounter you when I subdued the entire Sparrow Province and captured and killed that dead Sparrow King, but I never expected you to dare to appear before me again!"
Xiang Yu chuckled lightly, his voice tinged with a hint of mockery.
"Xiang Yu, you madman! You murdered the Sparrow King and seized Sparrow Province! Today, the Dragon Sparrow Army of Great Yong swears to repent for the crimes you have committed!"
Upon hearing this, Long Junzuo clenched his teeth, his eyes almost spitting fire, but he suppressed his anger and responded coldly.
"Repentance? In this chaotic world, the strong are respected. Who can make me repent? Your Great Yong Dragon Sparrow Army is at best just another stepping stone for my Overlord Cavalry on the road to conquest."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu burst into laughter, his laughter filled with arrogance.
"Moreover, my understanding of your Great Yong Dragon Sparrow Army is probably deeper than your own!"
Xiang Yu then suppressed his smile and gave Long Junzuo and the other two a strange laugh.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Long Junzuo and the other two changed.
This sudden shock caused a sense of unease to rise in their hearts.
Clearly, all three of them had considered that possibility.
"You dog...you're talking nonsense! The Dragon Sparrow Army of the Great Yong Dynasty is the foundation of the imperial dynasty. How dare a lowly scoundrel like you covet it?"
Qian Dazong couldn't help but shout angrily, trying to break the oppressive atmosphere.
"Hmph, elite troops? I, Xiang Yu, am the one who fights the elite troops! In my eyes, the current Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army is nothing but a rabble."
"I know all the weaknesses of your Great Yong Dragon Sparrow Army. Today, I will teach you how to fight a battle!"
Xiang Yu simply shook his head, his smile growing even brighter.
Having said that, Xiang Yu spurred his horse, and the warhorse neighed as it took a few steps forward. He raised the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd high in his hand, which gleamed coldly in the moonlight, as if it were about to pierce the night sky and point straight to the heavens.
Upon seeing this, Long Junzuo and the other two were all taken aback.
"General Long, we..."
Guan Changcun was about to speak when Long Junzuo interrupted him.
"No need for further words. Now that we have decided to fight, we fear no challenge. The Great Yong Dragon Sparrow Army has never had a member who retreats!"
Although Long Junzuo's brows were also furrowed, his voice remained calm, as if trying to instill confidence in every soldier.
"Good, that's bold! But courage can't change anything."
"Today, I will show you what the true way of a hegemon is!"
Upon seeing this, Xiang Yu's lips curled into an even more ferocious smile.
The two armies faced off, and dark clouds began to gather in the night sky, as if even the heavens were foreshadowing the brutality of this battle.
Xiang Yu roared, his voice like a thunderclap, making the surrounding air tremble.
He held the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd in his hand, its blade gleaming coldly in the moonlight, as if it could cut through all obstacles in the world.
He squeezed the horse's belly with his legs, and the black horse seemed to sense its master's fighting spirit. It kicked off with its front hooves and shot off like an arrow.
