Chapter 172 If I don’t avenge myself, how can I be considered a human being?
As soon as they stopped and turned around, they found that what they were facing were not charging weapons, but hundreds of wooden crossbows aimed at them.
With the painful lessons of thousands of brothers’ deaths before them, how could they not recognize this deadly weapon?
This is the scythe of death that reaps lives!
Everyone looked pale, staring at Xiang Yu with fear, wanting to say something but stopping themselves, as if silently asking: Boss, how should we respond?
Xiang Yu was also helpless. At this moment, he was facing the threat of more than a dozen powerful crossbows, and his inner confusion and fear were intertwined.
Xiang Yu was known for his military prowess, and therefore became the primary target of his enemies.
However, the Great Snow Dragon Riders did not give them any chance to breathe. With one order, a deafening command resounded through the sky: "Shoot!"
The air surges!
A rain of arrows like a dense white net!
The air trembled with the terrifying explosion!
In an instant, Xiang Yu lost all hope and despair surged into his heart like a tide.
Under this terrifying air wave, two hundred and fifty sharp arrows on each side were like a net of death, mercilessly attacking the Chu cavalry.
At this moment, Xiang Yu's order reached everyone's ears. They hurriedly turned around, drew their weapons, and prepared to fight a decisive battle with the Qin cavalry that was following closely behind them.
However, what greeted them was an overwhelming rain of arrows.
At this moment, their hearts were filled with endless despair.
Then the pain hit them and the world spun before their eyes.
On both sides, nearly two hundred soldiers fell to the ground in pain.
In this round of volleys, the Chu army suffered unprecedented heavy losses and lost almost four hundred people.
Because they fled in a scattered manner and were defeated one by one, and because of Xiang Yu's last-minute order to counterattack, their mounts happened to stop moving, exposing them to the rain of arrows from the Snow Dragon Riders, with nowhere to hide.
Just like that, they were shot and killed by the enemy in vain and died so stupidly!
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"
Xiang Yu felt like he was about to collapse! These 400 lives were lost because of his decision!
If they were allowed to continue escaping, perhaps more people would survive.
But that was only a delay of a moment.
After all, facing the high-speed pursuit of the Snow Dragon Cavalry and the abnormally powerful crossbows that might run out of power at any time, Xiang Yu's cavalry had nowhere to escape.
At this moment, Xiang Yu didn't even know how to give orders. Faced with the might of these 500 Great Snow Dragon Riders, his once invincible 3,000 personal cavalry could neither escape nor fight, and was caught in a dilemma.
However, the Great Snow Dragon Riders did not let Xiang Yu's torment last too long.
After they shot a round of arrows, another uniform sound of stringing the bows was heard.
Their steps never stopped. After killing the two hundred cavalrymen in front of them, the Snow Dragon Riders on both sides quickly leaped over and chased the Chu army in front.
"shooting!!"
Bang bang bang bang!
The air waves surged, death was woven into a web, the Chu cavalry fell one after another, and blood splattered everywhere.
They galloped on their horses and wound up the bow again!
Bang bang bang!
Another group fell.
Rewind, chase, shoot again.
They fell in batches, and the pursuit continued until the tenth round of volleys ended, when the Great Snow Dragon Riders put away their crossbows.
At this time, Xiang Yu's personal cavalry had less than a hundred people.
Fear, coldness and numbness filled his whole body, and he stood back like a stone sculpture.
The Great Snow Dragon Rider seemed to realize that he was harmless, and after trying a few arrows and failing to kill him, it bypassed him and chased after the other cavalrymen.
As for Xiang Yu, his heart was already dead. Seeing his three thousand personal guards wiped out in the massacre, he could only be left with anger and helplessness.
As soon as they fled, they were pursued and arrows rained down, leaving them with nowhere to hide.
They rose up to fight, but before the weapons even clashed, the warriors in the front row fell one after another, killed by a hail of arrows.
This cycle was repeated mercilessly, causing Xiang Yu's heroism, invincible belief and determination to overthrow the tyrannical Qin Dynasty to collapse at this moment!
The Qin army not only has the mighty Snow Dragon Cavalry, but also the incredibly powerful crossbow.
Even though Xiang Yu was the invincible King of Western Chu, he was helpless at this moment.
His ambitions turned into nothing in the face of such extraordinary power.
Could he withstand all this with just his domineering power?
He once fantasized about leading these warriors to attack Huanglong and march straight to Xianyang.
However, now with only 500 Snow Dragon Riders, they were unable to fight back, and 3,000 elite cavalrymen were killed!
Heaven, actually played such a cruel joke on him!
At this moment, Xiang Yu had no time to care about the fate of the tens of thousands of Chu troops behind him.
His personal guards, those brave warriors who were unable to resist, had been mercilessly shot.
Resistance has become a luxury.
"If you don't avenge this revenge, why should you be a human being?"
Xiang Yu's world, cold, hopeless, like dead ashes, suddenly shattered at this moment.
The world before his eyes instantly turned blood red. It was not the world that changed, but his eyes that were burning with the flames of revenge!
He suddenly looked up and locked his eyes on the enemy commander on the wall of Hangu Pass.
"You, too, will perish!"
boom! !
Xiang Yu urged the horse's back suddenly, and the true energy in his body, which was almost at the heavenly level, burst out like a torrent. The chestnut horse cried out, unable to bear the burden, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Xiang Yu held the Overlord Spear tightly, and it shot out like a cannonball, crossing a distance of a thousand feet.
He headed straight for the city wall of Hangu Pass and galloped away.
At this moment, there were only two words in his mind: revenge!
His true energy was fully activated, and his mental power surged out. This journey might be a one-way trip, but he was no longer afraid of life or death!
What’s the point of living alone when my brothers are gone?
In an instant, an invincible momentum swept across the battlefield. A figure holding a spear trampled over the chestnut horse, went up against the rain, and rushed straight towards the wall of Hangu Pass like a cannonball!
At this moment, Xiang Yu's murderous aura was overwhelming and his momentum was unmatched. Wherever he passed, the wind and rain retreated and the sky and earth changed color.
This is a spectacular sight of spiritual power and true energy intertwined, vaguely revealing signs of the inner scene manifesting itself externally.
Xiang Yu was extremely angry. Regardless of the fact that his own vitality was exhausted, he went all out and finally touched the edge of the realm of heaven and man.
Wherever he passed, heaven and earth merged into one, and there were lightning and thunder in the void.
The Qin soldiers looked up in astonishment. As the figure passed by, they seemed to be in a dream, sometimes a battlefield, sometimes hell.
Just a glance at this man was like seeing the god of death coming, and all fighting spirit was gone.
This is the external projection of the inner scene of the heavenly realm, and it shocks mortals!
Xiang Yu was not a truly powerful person in the realm of heaven and man. His power came from the extreme excitement deep in his soul, which briefly touched the edge of the realm of heaven and man.
This outburst comes at the expense of one's spiritual essence, and is fleeting like a sudden storm.
However, it was short enough for him to climb the city wall, kill the general and shock the enemy.
The moment Xiang Yu took off into the air, his red pupils locked onto two figures on the city wall.
One is Han Xin, who once tried to surrender but was rejected by Xiang Yu. Now he is wearing the Qin army uniform, and those strategies were probably planned by him.
Xiang Yu vowed to get rid of this man!
