Chapter 193

The moon was dark and the wind was high.

The moon hung high above, scattering its remaining glow downward.

Through the hazy moonlight.

On the Great Chu side.

Some of the guards on duty showed signs of drowsiness on their faces.

Their eyelids seemed to be somewhat uncontrollable, wanting to close tightly together.

A breeze blew by, carrying a faint fragrance.

This fragrance made them feel that the chaos in their minds became even more intense.

On the other side.

Zhao Lei had already led thirty thousand soldiers to ambush at the entrance of the West Gate.

The entire Taiyuan Commandery did not have only this one main city entrance.

The West Gate could also be considered one of the main exits of Taiyuan Commandery.

Therefore, Xiang Liang arranged heavy troops to guard the West Gate position.

This was to prevent sneak attacks from these Great Qin soldiers.

Zhao Lei quietly watched the soldiers above slowly inhale the smoke.

He estimated the time in his heart.

"Is the Old General's side ready?"

He then turned his head to ask a servant beside him.

"General, rest assured, the Old General's side has long been prepared."

This servant nodded affirmatively.

The night was deep, and it was the most drowsy time.

A loud shout suddenly startled the entire Taiyuan Commandery awake.

"Enemy attack!"

The crisp sound of the bell echoed throughout the entire city gate.

This bell sound immediately woke everyone who was sleeping in their dreams.

Xiang Yu, upon hearing this bell, sat up abruptly from the bed, his eyes sharp.

"Something happened."

He walked out of the room at the fastest speed, and at this time, Xiang Liang had also walked out of the room.

"That group of Great Qin people finally made a move."

"Fortunately, we were prepared and did not slack off during the night."

Xiang Liang's face was gloomy.

The two walked quickly toward the city gate.

Climbing the main city wall and looking down, Wang Jian's figure appeared below the city gate.

"I thought you old rascal, being old, acted timidly."

"I didn't expect you were thinking of taking advantage of the night to cause trouble."

Xiang Yu looked at Wang Jian below and spat.

A cold light flashed in Wang Jian's eyes.

Xiang Yu's age was about the same as his grandson.

A person of the grandson generation actually dared to clamor in front of him.

"When marching and fighting, when have you ever looked at the time?"

"Ignorant child, Great Chu remnant, today I will definitely let you be buried here."

"Everyone, attack!"

Following Wang Jian's order, thousands of soldiers rushed toward the city gate of Taiyuan Commandery in unison.

The siege vehicles had already been prepared.

On the faces of Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang, there was no sign of panic.

As early as when they occupied Taiyuan Commandery, they had already made psychological preparations.

They issued orders in an orderly manner, those who were to shoot arrows shot arrows, and those who were to pour water poured water.

The front-row soldiers fell one after another, and behind them were still people rushing forward.

Behind Wang Jian's troops, there were also archers.

These archers aimed precisely at the soldiers on the city wall.

From time to time, soldiers were hit by arrows and rolled down from the city wall.

The corpses smashed into a group of soldiers climbing up.

A fire soared into the sky, and Zhao Lei, who was ambushed at the West Gate, saw the signal.

"Charge."

Following the order, the soldiers who had long been prepared also launched an attack toward the West City Gate.

Two strongholds were attacked at the same time.

Xiang Liang's face was exceptionally gloomy.

"You go to the West Gate and preside over the matters there."

Xiang Liang turned his head and said to Xiang Yu.

Now that two places were under attack, the two of them must each be responsible for one place.

Xiang Yu naturally knew this point as well and nodded without hesitation.

Holding his long spear, he rushed to the West Gate position at the fastest speed.

The military strength at the West Gate was relatively weak.

Plus, Zhao Lei's side had long been ready to go.

By the time Xiang Yu rushed over, the city gate had almost been breached.

Xiang Yu held his long spear, and with one shot, he pierced through a soldier's head.

Subsequently, his figure quickly appeared in front of Zhao Lei, and he picked up the long spear he had thrown out.

"Want to come in, have you asked me?"

In Xiang Yu's eyes, a trace of sharpness was revealed.

At this moment, he carried a trace of the domineering spirit of a young king.

Zhao Lei's age was more than ten years older than Xiang Yu's.

Looking at his physique, he was also a circle larger than Xiang Yu.

"Little baby, have you finished drinking milk? Just spouting nonsense here."

Zhao Lei cracked his mouth and smiled.

His smile carried a trace of disdain and two parts of contempt.

How could Xiang Yu withstand this kind of provocation?

Immediately holding his long spear, he rushed toward Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei's weapon was also rare among these weapons.

Two axes.

Seeing Xiang Yu rush over, holding his battle axes, he also met him.

He had long heard that this Great Chu remnant was born with divine strength.

Today, he could finally test it a little.

One axe slashed down heavily.

The powerful force caused the long spear in Xiang Yu's hand to bend in an arc.

Fortunately, the long spear in Xiang Yu's hand could be considered a treasure, and the spear shaft did not break.

Xiang Yu felt the powerful oppressive force coming from his body.

Pursing his lips, he also exerted his own strength.

A force no less than his own surged over from the young man in front of him.

In Zhao Lei's eyes, a trace of surprise flashed.

You must know that his strength was known as the Bear in the army.

This little baby's strength was actually no less than his own.

It seems that this was really not an unfounded reputation.

"Still have some strength."

"Watch the axe."

Realizing that the young man in front of him was not simple, Zhao Lei no longer dared to show mercy.

The two axes in his hands slashed down toward Xiang Yu like a violent storm.

Xiang Yu barely dodged and blocked.
