Chapter 174

Among the villages surrounding Taiyuan Commandery.

"Uncle, I fear that once news of us leaving the mountains spreads, Wang Jian will soon learn of it."

"Their weapons are superior; we are simply no match for them."

A trace of worry appeared on Xiang Yu's face.

Their army was, after all, a ragtag force.

How could they be mentioned in the same breath as the well-trained Great Qin army?

Furthermore, in terms of equipment, the weapons they held could not compare to theirs at all.

Although they had previously clashed with Wang Ben and seized some weapons,

it was merely a drop in the bucket.

"We must obtain a batch of weapons before Wang Jian arrives."

"The Governor of Taiyuan Commandery is incredibly wealthy; perhaps we can strike at him."

A glint of light flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes.

It was not as if every local official was surrounded by heavy guards.

Take Taiyuan Commandery, for instance; due to the surrounding terrain, there were not many troops stationed here.

If they truly intended to target Taiyuan Commandery, they could occupy it at the fastest possible speed.

"Uncle, a fine idea."

Xiang Yu's eyes lit up.

Having made up his mind, he immediately reorganized his men and launched an attack on Taiyuan Commandery with the utmost speed.

The Governor of Taiyuan Commandery had already learned of their movements the moment they entered the commandery.

Seeing the direction of this group, the Governor of Taiyuan Commandery knew they had set their sights on his commandery.

At this moment, the Governor was in a state of extreme panic.

He had no way to escape; if he fled, he would be branded with an eternal infamy.

Yet, if he did not flee and was captured by this group of Great Chu remnants, his fate would surely be no better.

"Governor, what should we do? This group of Great Chu remnants has already reached the city walls."

The gate-guarding general immediately reported the news to the Governor.

At this time, a look of panic was also etched upon the general's face.

After all, he had never encountered a situation where they bypassed several commanderies to attack their Taiyuan Commandery directly.

Their entire city-guarding force was only a few thousand men.

How could they face the 40, 00-strong force of the Great Chu remnants?

"You ask me, how would I know what to do? Has the news been sent out?"

A look of anxiety and busyness appeared on the Magistrate's face.

He hoped the Magistrate over at Shang Commandery would receive the news soon.

If he could receive the news, Old General Wang Jian should be able to arrive here at the fastest speed.

"Hold the line for me; you must hold until Old General Wang arrives."

The Magistrate shouted directly, disregarding his own dignity.

"We can't hold it."

One piece of bad news after another was passed along.

The gate-guarding general said directly.

It wasn't that they didn't want to hold, but facing a 40, 00-strong army with only a few thousand men, they simply couldn't resist.

Xiang Yu soon led his great army and directly captured Taiyuan Commandery.

The Taiyuan Commandery Magistrate, who hadn't managed to escape in time, was blocked at the Magistrate's residence by him.

The Magistrate's face and body were covered in cold sweat.

Because at this moment, Xiang Yu's armor was covered in blood, and even the broadsword in his hand was dripping blood.

Clearly, he had killed his way here.

"You are the Magistrate of this Taiyuan Commandery."

Xiang Yu's gaze was fixed tightly on the middle-aged man in front of him.

The Magistrate couldn't help but shiver, because he felt a faint, lingering murderous intent from that gaze.

It seemed that if his answer didn't satisfy this person, he would likely raise the long sword in his hand.

"Yes..."

Struggling to control his trembling, the Magistrate feigned composure.

"Where is the storehouse here?"

"I want the weapons storehouse."

A piercing aura erupted from Xiang Yu's eyes.

Feeling this piercing aura, the Magistrate felt the pressure on his body increase by several degrees.

A flash of hesitation crossed his eyes.

If he told this group of Great Chu remnants the location of the weapons storehouse now, it would only increase their strength.

"Take me there."

Xiang Yu said coldly.

But the Magistrate's feet seemed to be rooted to the spot; he didn't move a step for a long time.

A cold light flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes.

He knew that the Magistrate before him was definitely the type who wouldn't drink a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.

The long sword in his hand swept past quickly, and with lightning speed, severed one of the Magistrate's arms.

As the arm fell to the ground, blood sprayed into the air.

"Ah..."

A shrill scream echoed throughout the empty room.

The Magistrate's face was full of pain; he wailed incessantly.

Blood had already covered his entire body.

"I'll give you one more chance, otherwise the next target of this blade will be your neck."

Xiang Yu raised the long sword in his hand again, aiming it at the Magistrate's neck, and said coldly.

At this moment, where was the Magistrate's previous hesitation?

He only felt that the young man in front of him was filled with baleful energy.

If he hesitated any longer, his life would truly end at the hands of this young man.

"I... I'll take you there."

"Don't kill me."

When saying these words, the Magistrate's face was already twisted in pain.

Struggling to climb up from the ground, he moved step by step toward the outside.

Xiang Yu followed directly behind him.

He wasn't afraid of this person playing tricks.

Once he sensed something was wrong, the long sword in his hand would take this person's life without hesitation.

He wasn't the only one in the entire Taiyuan Commandery who knew the location of the weapons storehouse.

The reason he sought out this person was simply for convenience.

If this person continued to be unappreciative, he wouldn't show mercy.

The Magistrate walked in front, clearly feeling a cold gaze fixed on him from behind.

This gaze was suffused with murderous intent.

This highly threatening gaze made the Magistrate forget even the pain on his body for a moment.

His footsteps seemed to quicken.

The location of the weapons storehouse was very close to the Magistrate's residence.

But even at such a short distance, the Magistrate was already pale and dizzy by the time he arrived.

"It's here."

After saying this, he handed over the key he had kept.

He didn't want to be forced by the god of death behind him any longer.

A soldier behind Xiang Yu quickly took the key and opened the door in front of them.

As soon as the door was pushed open, they saw countless blades and swords resting on racks.

After the soldier went in and checked a few times, he nodded toward Xiang Yu.

"General, there is no problem." **CHAPTER 391**
