Chapter 960 A Real Man Should Be Able to Bend and Stretch

Although he knew that these natives were destined to be defeated, when Xiang Yu saw countless natives wailing in the fire, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart.

Although he himself had burned those woods, the scale was much larger than this.

There was also a precedent for the use of fire in the wars between nations.

But it took a lot of preparation.

When he set the fire himself, he also deliberately chose the weather, placed the fire starting materials, etc.

But the Qin army was in the middle of a battle, and they set fire to the enemy without any warning.

He could not imagine that when the Chu army and the Qin army faced each other, the Chu army would form a tight formation and attack each other.

If the other party suddenly unleashes this fire, then no matter how elite the army is, it will probably end up collapsing on the spot.

Even if he takes a step back, even if he knows the Qin army's methods in advance, there is no way to deal with it.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the current Qin army was invincible.

At this time, the fire was getting bigger and bigger. Looking at the natives fleeing in all directions, Xiang Yu said with a bit of sadness in his expression,

"Tell the soldiers, whether they are ready or not, we will set off immediately."

Now he wants to retain the last strength for Da Chu. He can only go to the place they found to develop quietly. Ten years, twenty years, or even thirty years,

During this period, I continued to study the Qin Army’s Heavenly Thunder, as well as the methods I saw today,

There may be a possibility of fighting with each other in the future.

Now everyone can see that if the Qin army actually just wants to defeat these people, ten thousand people will be enough.

The other side is here to demonstrate and train troops.

Xiang Zhuang nodded solemnly and was about to leave.

Xiang Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said,

"Go and send a message to the Qin army, saying that I want to meet with them."

Xiang Zhuang suddenly frowned and said,

"Overlord, I'm afraid this may be dangerous."

Xiang Yu shook his head and returned,

"At the beginning, Alang did not kill me on the riverside, and these people would not do anything to me."

"I also have something they want in my hands. I'm afraid part of their purpose of going to war this time is also for those things."

Although the Qin army has been very covert in the past two years, their people have already noticed it.

The Qin army attached great importance to one of their trees and secretly brought back many tree species.

But it doesn't seem to work.

And he still has the courage to face the other party.

Seeing Xiang Yu being so determined, Xiang Zhuang could only send someone to deliver the order.

At this time, the battle, or rather the massacre, was coming to an end.

The Qin army also began to retreat.

They don't need to clean the battlefield because the flames will erase everything.

Not long after, the Qin army had retreated to the rear camp, which was originally used to store supplies.

The fire was so great that their original camp could no longer be inhabited.

There is no need to be stationed there.

It's impossible for enemies to come through in such a fire.

All the Qin troops were extremely excited. They completely defeated the opponent this time.

Of course there are some who are unhappy,

Hu Hai was pestering Wang Li and asked,

"Not a single prisoner?"

Wang Li shook his head. They originally wanted to capture some prisoners in this battle. Now Da Qin is in extremely short supply of slaves. Although they can no longer participate in the trade, it is still a credit to them to be handed over to the Da Qin government to build roads.

No one dares to attack the people of Da Qin. Now anyone who dares to enslave his own people will have their homes confiscated!

It's just that the power of this fire exceeded their own expectations. The fire was too fierce.

The natives in the forest must not even have any dregs left, and those left around their camp will probably be roasted into mummies.

So there can be no prisoners.

"We can't get prisoners with food like His Majesty's. I'm afraid this time's military achievements will be affected."

After all, military merit is based on the head.

Now that some of these people have been burned to ashes, they cannot be counted as military merits.

Hearing this, Hu Hai's face suddenly fell. How could he show off his military exploits without prisoners?

Where is the fun in life?

In addition to him being unhappy, the deputy general next to him also had a look of pain on his face and reported,

"General, the personnel in the rear have just reported the preliminary ammunition loss."

"Our battle has directly wiped out a year's tax revenue for a medium-sized county."

Hearing this, Wang Li's face couldn't help but twitch.

He knew that these weapons and equipment cost money, but he never expected that they would cost so much money.

The annual tax revenue of a medium-sized county is a large number. How many counties does Da Qin have?

He couldn't help but say,

"Don't you know how to be more economical?"

"That's all the blood and sweat of the people!"

Upon hearing this, the deputy general was immediately unhappy and returned,

"General, who was shouting just now, shoot me and kill these bastards!"

"The last general, but I can't stop him."

Wang Li suddenly showed a slightly embarrassed look. This was the first time he truly led an army alone.

If I say in my heart that I'm not nervous, I'd be lying.

At that time, the natives came from all directions, and the situation was indeed urgent.

He just wanted to kill those people as quickly as possible, so he couldn't care less about the losses.

Just when the two of them were feeling a little distressed, Hu Hai on the side said carelessly,

"With this prince here, why are you panicking? This prince will bear all this loss!"

After hearing this, several people showed a bit of joy. At this time, Wang Li even saluted and said,

"This battle is entirely dependent on His Royal Highness. The documents that will be sent back at the end must be thanked for His Highness's credit first!"

Hu Hai immediately grinned happily, this was the effect he wanted.

"Okay! Wang Li, you are indeed the pillar of Great Qin, and you and this God of War complement each other perfectly."

"Then don't wait any longer and hurry up to report your victory."

He couldn't wait to be restored to his throne.

Just when Wang Li was about to leave, a Qin soldier walked in quickly and reported,

"Your Highness, General, the Xiang family has sent an envoy, saying that Xiang Yu is asking for an audience."

Hearing Xiang Yu's name, Wang Li's face showed a moment of vigilance.

"Xiang Yu, now that the battle is over, what is he going to do?"

He was still a little afraid of the other party, and he could never forget the time when Xiang Yu almost killed him.

Hu Hai's eyes lit up slightly at this time,

Xiang Yu also knows that if he can show off in front of the other party, it will definitely be very satisfying.

So he said,

"This prince can see him, but he must sign up."

Wang Li on the side still wanted to persuade, but Hu Hai waved his hand nonchalantly.

"He was defeated by Brother Lang. This time, I killed 50,000 people in this battle. My losses are negligible. I am just a defeated general. What is there to be afraid of?"

"Let him come in and let him see the majesty of my Great Qin God of War!"

At this time, Qin Jun also brought the news to Xiang Yu who was waiting outside.

After hearing Hu Hai’s request,

Xiang Yu was silent for a while. At this time, the words of his long-dead uncle Xiang Liang rang in his heart,

"A true man should be able to bend and stretch."

Finally he took a step forward and shouted loudly,

"Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, invites Hu Hai, the God of War of the Qin Dynasty."
