Chapter 29 Only by Taking the Initiative Can There Be a Glimmer of Hope

When they saw something falling from the sky, everyone subconsciously avoided it.

After all, no matter what the other party dropped,

It's always bad to get hit.

Fortunately, the sky's accuracy didn't seem to be very good, and most of the things fell into the holes they dug.

Only a few fell into the camp,

Several Chu soldiers looked towards the place where they fell with some curiosity.

After all, it fell from the sky, this is a new thing,

But when they saw the appearance of that thing, their expressions changed drastically.

Because they were very familiar with that thing, it was similar to the Tianlei they bought from Da Qin.

It’s just that the style seems more novel,

The soldiers of the Chu army just wanted to warn, but the next moment,

With a bang,

That thing exploded directly.

Then there were continuous explosions,

The entire Chu army camp suddenly fell into chaos.

As soon as the first explosion sounded, Long Qie led his people to retreat very simply.

He knew that they had no way to stop the Qin army's attack.

The opponent is in the sky and flying very high, so even their crossbow arrows cannot reach it.

If it weren't for the holes they dug in advance to delay the opponent's attack,

Now as long as the opponent sends a team of people to attack after the explosion, it will be a rout here.

He can only save more power now, and more importantly, he must bring this news to the Overlord,

Soon, amid the sound of explosions, Long Ju led people all the way towards the border of Chu State.

At night, Xiang Yu stood on the city wall, looking at the lights in the city.

Although this is just a border town, it is well built because of the traffic of caravans.

And this was all built by him over the years. Only he himself understands the hardships involved.

Therefore, he does not want to give up unless he has to.

"As long as Long Qie can hold back the Qin army for more than half a month and let the people of Chu know that the Qin army is not unstoppable, our army will have a chance."

Xiang Yu murmured to himself at this time,

Delaying the Qin army can allow the Chu army to slowly get used to the Qin army as an enemy.

After that, even a temporary defeat will not affect the overall situation.

He will only regard Da Qin as a powerful opponent, not an unstoppable one.

This is extremely important to the morale of the Chu army.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly there was a rapid sound of horse hooves in the night,

Xiang Yu quickly frowned. There were actually a lot of holes dug in the area in front of the border city.

Although I have left a safe route,

But running so fast, something could easily happen.

Just when he was wondering who was so desperate, a familiar shout came from below,

"Where is the Overlord? I want to see him!"

Hearing the other party's voice, Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly,

"Long Qie, this king is here!"

"Why are you back?"

The person who came was none other than Long Qie, who had returned from the front line. Hearing Xiang Yu’s voice, he read the full content on Aiyue app.

Long Qie did not answer. He could not make the defeat on the front line public yet.

Instead, he went all the way to the city wall and walked to Xiang Yu's side.

Then he whispered with a bit of sadness,

"Overlord, the general is defeated."

Although Xiang Yu had a bad premonition when he saw the other party, he still said with a bit of disbelief,

"How can this be?"

He knew that there were many holes dug on the front line, and he also knew that the Qin army had the means to clear them quickly.

But even so,

The speed of defeat cannot be so fast.

Long Qie took a deep breath and said,

"Overlord, the Qin army is attacking from the sky."

Hearing this, Xiang Yu was stunned, as if he couldn't understand what the other party was saying.

After a while, he said,

"What do you mean heaven?"

Long Qie also collected his emotions at this time and explained the matter clearly.

After Xiang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but take a step back.

There was a muffled sound as he leaned against the city wall and said,

"How can this be?"

He is also well-read in military science and is extremely talented in the military field.

But no one had ever taught him, and he had never thought about how to deal with attacks from the sky.

What's even more frightening is that once the Qin army gets close to them,

Then the entire border town will be exposed to the Qin army, and his so-called secret weapons,

will become a joke,

"Overlord?"

Seeing that Xiang Yu didn't speak, Long Qie couldn't help but shout,

Just seeing the other party's livid face, Long Qie knew clearly in his heart,

I'm afraid the other party doesn't have any good way to deal with it.

It's not the other person's fault,

No matter who encounters this situation, there is nothing he can do. After hesitating for a moment, Long Qie gritted his teeth and said,

"Overlord, why don't we retreat quickly?"

"Just leave a group of low-level people here to resist. The Qin army's sky lanterns are not many in number, and they only have 50,000 men."

"Even if we occupy this place, it will take some time. After that, we will resist layer by layer in Da Chu and have enough time to go west."

I'm sure I won't be able to defeat him, so I might as well leave now.

After listening to Long Qie's words, Xiang Yu slowly came back to his senses, then took a deep breath,

He said with a bit of coldness,

"I'm afraid this is A Lang's idea. These 50,000 people did not originally intend to occupy the entire Da Chu."

"He just wants to force me to go west."

"It's just that this time, I didn't do what he wanted!"

No, he wants to act out of anger,

But if 500,000 fights 50,000 in this battle, they won’t even have the courage to fight against the enemy.

Just leave these people behind and run west.

From then on, no matter where they went, the Chu army would feel fear when facing the Qin army.

The Great Chu Kingdom they controlled using the hierarchical system will also fall apart.

So even if you are defeated, you cannot escape.

Having made up his mind, Xiang Yu's thoughts were racing through his mind.

Soon, he noticed Long Qie's words and couldn't help but ask,

"You said the Qin army had very few sky lanterns, right?"

Long Qie nodded and returned,

"At the end of the day, I counted, and this time there were five lanterns in the sky."

Xiang Yu quickly asked,

"How long can they fly? How many thunderbolts will fall? How accurate are they?"

Long Qie was stunned by the question, and then said with a bit of shame,

"Overlord, the general will never know."

He was also shocked at the time. He only wanted to come back and report the matter, but did not pay attention to these details.

Xiang Yu didn't blame the other party either.

When he first heard the news, he was no better than the other party.

Not to mention that the other party is immersed in the scene.

So soon, speaking of,

"It doesn't matter, you take the people and go to the front again to meet up with Zhong Limei and figure this out. I will take the people to the front line tomorrow."

After hearing this, Long Qie couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and asked,

"Overlord, are you going to the front line?"

"This is absolutely impossible..."

But before he finished speaking, Xiang Yu stopped the other party and said firmly,

"If the Qin army approaches the city, all our secrets will not be preserved."

"Only by taking the initiative can there be a glimmer of hope!"
