Chapter 804 The Battle Between Xiang Yu and Han Xin: A Close Call
"I Summon Famous Generals from All History in Another World": Explosive word-of-mouth and rave reviews!
At this moment, the Six Monsters of Meishan and others standing behind Yang Jian also nodded in agreement, rubbing their hands together, eager to try their skills.
Each of the six possesses unique skills; some are incredibly strong, others are agile, some are adept at using hidden weapons, and others are skilled in formations. Although they are not world-renowned, their strength should not be underestimated.
"General Yang, you can rest assured. This time, we will deploy multiple ambushes and take advantage of the terrain of Wenzhou to set up a series of traps, putting Xiang Yu's army on the defensive."
"At the same time, we will strengthen scouting and reconnaissance to ensure smooth intelligence flow so that we can adjust our tactics at any time and ensure that the general and others are not put in danger."
Pei Xingjian, noticing the serious look in Yang Jian's eyes, added.
"With you all here, what is there to fear in Xiang Yu's defeat! In this battle, we will make the whole world know that the name of the Nine Heavens Army is no empty boast!"
Han Xin, sitting at the head of the table, also looked around at everyone with satisfaction, a surge of unprecedented pride and ambition rising in his heart.
"In that case, let's proceed according to plan."
"General Yang, you and the Six Eccentrics of Meishan will lead the army into battle tomorrow. Make sure that Xiang Yu believes that you are our army's last resort."
As he spoke, Han Xin stood up, looked around at everyone, and spoke with a firm voice.
"General Han, rest assured, Yang Jian will do his utmost."
Yang Jian also stood up, bowed, and accepted the order with his hands clasped.
"Xiang Yang will be ready at any time, waiting for the opportune moment to deliver a swift and decisive blow to Xiang Yu!"
Looking at the group of people around him, whose fighting spirit was boiling, Wang Xiangyang also stood up and echoed them with a smile.
During this period, Han Xin's 40,000-strong Jiuxiao Army, along with the approximately 100,000-strong Wenzhou Army and the Sparrow King Army he recruited, clashed frequently with Xiang Yu's Jiangdong Chu Army.
Although Xiang Yu's personal martial prowess had reached the pinnacle of the Gang Qi realm, his subordinates, including Gonggong, Long Ju, Ji Bu, and the Five Tiger Generals, were all formidable warriors.
However, Han Xin was no pushover either. He commanded his 140,000 troops with ease, effortlessly employing various battle formations and military tactics developed by strategists from the Tianwu Continent.
Even now, Han Xin still has the Daoist army under Long Junzuo's command—the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army!
The situation of this army under Long Junzuo's command is completely different from that under a top commander like Han Xin. Under Long Junzuo's command, Xiang Yu alone was able to lead his Overlord Cavalry to directly break through the "Dragon Sparrow King Killing Formation" of the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army.
However, under Han Xin's command, during this period, as long as Xiang Yu dared to rely on force and lead his Overlord Cavalry to charge into the enemy formation, he was always able to win.
Han Xin surrounded Xiang Yu with a massive army of tens of thousands, supplemented by the "Dragon Sparrow King-Slaying Formation" of the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army as the main force, and launched a series of attacks on Xiang Yu.
Although Xiang Yu possessed extraordinary martial prowess, it was indeed difficult to ensure his safety.
However, Xiang Yu's elite cavalry couldn't withstand the onslaught. Every time Xiang Yu dared to charge, Han Xin would beat up the cavalry behind him.
Therefore, although Han Xin is temporarily unable to defeat Xiang Yu because there is no top-level war god of the same caliber, he is not yet able to do anything about him.
However, despite his exceptional command of over 104 troops under his command, Xiang Yu did not gain any advantage over Han Xin.
Han Xin always managed to chase the Chu army from Jiangdong all over the mountains.
Therefore, during this period, although Xiang Yu relied on his unparalleled martial prowess and led the Overlord Cavalry to inflict considerable losses on Han Xin's Wenzhou Army and Sparrow King Army,
However, under Han Xin's command, the Jiangdong Chu army brought by Xiang Yu also suffered considerable casualties.
However, recently, Xiang Yu has learned his lesson and no longer charges blindly like he did at the beginning. Instead, he has started to use tactics.
Although this so-called tactic seemed full of flaws to Han Xin, it was like an old general watching a new recruit showing off his military skills in front of him.
However, if Xiang Yu stopped his reckless attacks, then Han Xin wouldn't be able to do much against him.
After all, of his 140,000 troops, only the 40,000 Nine Heavens Army were considered elite and could keep up with his command pace.
The remaining 100,000 Wenzhou and Quezhou troops that were incorporated into the army are only good for fighting some monotonous defensive battles.
If we were to actually get them to launch an attack alongside Han Xin, it would probably be very difficult.
Therefore, in the period following the arrival of Wang Xiangyang and Yang Jian, the situation between the two sides remained relatively calm, and no large-scale battles broke out.
But now... after Wang Xiangyang and Yang Jian arrived, especially after our lord confidently declared that Wang Xiangyang's strength was absolutely no less than that of Xiang Yu.
Then Han Xin started to have some ideas...
...
The next day, as dawn broke, Yang Jian led the Six Eccentrics of Meishan on horseback, and the group galloped to the front lines of the Wenzhou battlefield.
As dawn broke, a chilling atmosphere permeated the battlefield, with the two armies facing each other, swords drawn and bows ready to strike.
Yang Jian stood at the front of the battle, wearing a pale yellow battle robe that fluttered in the morning breeze. He wore a three-peaked phoenix hat and gold-embroidered boots. At his waist, an exquisite slingshot gleamed coldly in the sunlight, and in his hand, he gripped a three-pointed double-edged sword with a chilling light, as if it could cut down any enemy in the world.

The horse he rode was a silver-white horse with a shiny coat and a steady gait.
It must be said that, as Erlang Shen, a famous guardian war god of Taoism, Yang Jian's attire truly makes him look like a god descending to earth, exuding a majestic and handsome aura.
Opposite them, Xiang Yu's Jiangdong Chu army stood in formation, with the Overlord Cavalry divided into two ranks on the left and right. Xiang Yu sat upright on his black horse, Wuzhui, whose muscles bulged as if it contained boundless power. He was clad in heavy armor, held the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd, and his aura soared to the sky. His pair of majestic double pupils swept over Yang Jian and the others opposite him, and his domineering presence was overwhelming.
"Xiang Yu, you traitor! Do you dare to fight?"
Yang Jian looked around, his gaze finally settling on Xiang Yu. He then smiled faintly, gathered his energy in his dantian, and his voice shook the entire area. His voice was like thunder, resounding through the sky. Many soldiers in the Chu army trembled in their hearts, thinking to themselves how audacious this man was!
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu frowned slightly, his gaze sharp as he stared directly at Yang Jian, silently assessing this sudden challenger.
Seeing this, Long Ju, who was standing beside him, was already burning with rage. He was furious to see Yang Jian being so arrogant and daring to provoke Xiang Yu as soon as he arrived.
"This fellow is utterly rude, daring to be so insolent before the King!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but spur his horse forward, ready to teach Yang Jian a lesson.
However, Xiang Yu gently raised his hand and blocked Long Ju with one arm.
He then focused his double pupils on Yang Jian opposite him, and at the same time felt the powerful aura of Yang Jian's cultivation, and couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart.
"Looks like the reinforcements Han Xin from the other side brought!"
Xiang Yu took a deep look at the valiant Yang Jian on the front lines and thought to himself.
