I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 315: The Qin Army Approaches Chang'an City; A Perfect Combination of National Destiny and Military Spirit
Over Dujiang.

The halberd shadow shattered and the gun body cracked.

The black arrows seemed to suppress the joint attack of Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao little by little.

"Can you still move?"

"If you can't do it, just tell me and Dad will protect you!"

"roll!"

Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao stood on the dry riverbed, first arguing with each other, and then looking up at the sky at the same time.

In fact, the two of them had already exhausted their strength and were at the end of their strength.

But as a military commander, he would not surrender easily even if his limbs were broken, let alone just a little bit of exhaustion.

"Come on, whoever falls down first loses!"

"Okay, agreed!"

Although these two are already in their twenties, their temperaments are as stubborn as those of children.

They didn't care much about the crisis above their heads, but instead competed with each other at this critical moment of life and death.

"Kill the Heaven!"

"Shake Kunlun!"

The muscles burst and the skin broke, spurting out streams of blood.

All the bones in both arms were broken, the ribs were turned outward, and even the knees were broken into pieces.

After Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao broke through their physical limits and launched another attack with the energy of millions of soldiers, they all fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

"you lose."

"You're the one who lost. I fell to the ground half a breath later than you."

Just as the two were arguing.

In the sky, four attacks that exceeded the energy of a million soldiers merged together, and the halberds and spears actually forced the black arrows back step by step.

"Uncle Xiang and Uncle Li won, haha, they won!"

Among all the people, the most excited one was Li Shiwu.

It was as if he was the one who repelled the black arrow.

However, Li Shiwu’s happiness did not last long.

suddenly.

At the top of the sky, the Nine Palaces of Heavenly Thunder is pressing down on the world.

The Ten Thunders are the Righteous Law, and the Nine Thunders are the Supreme Sky.

I saw the thousands of thunders merge into the arrows, repairing the cracked arrowheads with thunder.

"It's the Golden Cicada!"

"Get up, help me up, I can still fight this time!"

The two people lying on the ground didn't move their bodies, but they kept talking.

And when he thought that this was done by Jin Chan, he seemed to have endless energy.

However, all the muscles in his body were ruptured and none of the 206 bones were intact.

Not to mention swinging a weapon, even turning the neck is difficult.

And at this time.

With the help of the Nine Palaces Heavenly Thunder, the black arrows have suppressed the joint attack of Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao.

It seemed that the arrow was about to enter Dujiang and kill the two men.

The other side of the river bank.

Li Shiwu and others were filled with scheming, while Yu Wei's face was even paler.

Only little Luoyang remained calm as ever. He stared at the magnificent capital and remained motionless despite the whistling wind in his ears.

Seemingly thoughtful.

In the sky, the attack from Qin Ba Nu surpassed the power of the attack fired at Linzi and the East China Sea from the Lieguo Terrace that day.

Just when "Zhu Cangtian" and "Han Kunlun" were about to be shattered.

Sudden.

A long and faint sound of a phoenix was heard.

Followed by.

I saw a golden phoenix bird soaring into the sky from the depths of the Yudu River and flying with its wings spread.

The destiny of a country is condensed into a phoenix body.

The debris from the mountains and rivers stuck to the dazzling wings and turned into feathers.

The water from rivers and lakes flowed upward against the sky, swirling and intertwining, forming a phoenix tail several miles long.

After flying a circle over Dujiang, the golden phoenix dived into the shadow of the halberd and the gun body.

To fight against it, there was a beam of black arrows shot out by Qin Ba Nu.

The situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed.

The military spirit and national destiny were perfectly combined for the first time, directly shattering the arrow shot from Qin Ba's crossbow into a glittering rain of light.

At this time in Chang'an, Daming Palace, Taiji Hall.

Li Yingtai held the Golden Phoenix Seal in his hand, sat facing south, and looked towards the direction of Dujiang.

The cold sweat on her forehead, her pale cheeks and her trembling body proved that her physical strength had reached its limit.

"Moon, take us there!"

Dujiang.

Seeing the arrow dissipate, Xiao Luoyang, who had never spoken, lowered his head and spoke to Li Yueliang beside him.

"Okay, godmother!"

The words fell.

Li Yueliang stretched out her chubby little hands, with two pieces of red paper with gold-lettered talismans on the index and middle fingers of each hand.

"Alchemy, big slips, feathered wings, soldiers flying in the air."

The talisman that was thrown out ignited a blue flame half a meter away.

As the flame went out, the talisman turned into ashes.

moment.

A hurricane appeared out of nowhere, dragging several people with it, and after a few breaths, it came to Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao.

"Brother Zhu, carry them both up, the river is coming!"

Because the military spirit and national destiny have dissipated.

Dujiang was about to return to normal, but Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao, who were lying at the bottom of the river, were so seriously injured that they couldn't even stand up, let alone leave.

After Zhu Hai carried the two people up, Li Yueliang activated the "Feather Wings" again and brought the people to the shore at the critical moment.

"Fifteen, let them eat it."

Xiao Luoyang took out two pills from his arms and handed them to Li Shiwu.

"Ok!"

After taking two Golden Cicada Pills, the wounds on Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao healed in a short while, but they were still a little tired and their legs were shaking.

"We still lost to that guy!"

Xiang Yu sat on a rock with his head lowered, his hair falling from his ears, and muttered something.

Although he had never seen the Qin Ba Nu, he was very familiar with the Jiu Lei Tai Xiao.

If it weren't for the blessing of national fortune, it would have been impossible for the two of them to stop the black arrows.

"Uncle Xiang, who is that guy?"

Li Shiwu didn't know at this time that the devastating blow just now was shot by his father Jin Chan from thousands of miles away.

"Who else but your daddy, my dear daddy!"

"Luoyang, do you know where Jin Chan is? I don't accept your defeat and want to fight him in a duel."

Li Cunxiao said indignantly.

"When my elder brother came last time, he asked me to bring you a message. He said that even if the two of you have broken through a million soldiers, you should not be complacent. You need to work harder. It is still a long way to defeat him!"

After hearing Xiao Luoyang's words, Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao cursed in their hearts and wished that Jin Chan was right in front of them so that they could beat him up.

"Godmother, is Daddy really that powerful?"

Although Li Shiwu had heard of Jin Chan's bravery from others, he had never seen it.

Even for this thunder method, Jin Chan only taught the formula and never demonstrated it once.

"He is very powerful, truly the best in the world." Xiao Luoyang's eyes were full of pride when he said this.

After resting in Dujiang for a few days, when Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao had almost recovered, the group returned to Chang'an.

Three months later, it was already autumn and the leaves had turned yellow.

The sun is not as hot as in summer.

But for little Luoyang who loves to bask in the sun, it is just right.

Luo House.

In the yard, Li Yueliang was holding a book and practicing the magic trick of turning beans into soldiers.

And the other side.

Li Shiwu practiced the Seven Thunder Purple Mansion, but he only mastered the rudiments and was still far from getting started.

"Godmother, can I ask you for a favor? Is that okay?"

Wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Li Shiwu, whose whole body was red as if struck by lightning, suddenly trotted to Xiao Luoyang's feet, grabbed her skirt, and asked cautiously.

"Tell me what you want first, and then I'll consider whether to agree to it or not."

Xiao Luoyang took his time to pick out an oval fruit the size of an egg with a rough skin covered with fine hairs and bright green in color.

Then he handed it to Li Shiwu's mouth.

"Godmother, I have already practiced my thunder magic to the level of Purple Palace Thunder, and I can condense 150,000 military energy. Do you think I can lead the troops to fight?"

Although he was surrounded by a prosperous country and was born to be a king, Li Shiwu seemed to be more interested in leading troops in battle.

"Fight? There is no war in the Tang Kingdom right now. Even if I agree, there is no war for you to fight!"

Xiao Luoyang continued to peel the fruit and called Li Yueliang, who was immersed in magic in the distance, to eat with him.

"Of course not. I heard from Uncle Li that the Qin army has crossed the Hangu Pass and is heading towards our Tang Dynasty."

"Godmother, please let me go to the battlefield. I can definitely kill the general of the Qin army!"

Li Shiwu drew out the Zhuyun Tang sword from his waist and said arrogantly.

However, with a height of just over one meter and a chubby face, he doesn't look particularly lethal at all.

"A man is not even as tall as a horse's legs. Do you want to make the enemy laugh to death when you go to the battlefield?"

As a younger sister, Li Yueliang not only did not encourage her brother, but instead poured cold water on him.

"Humph, a man's height is not his defining feature. What do you know? Besides, Uncle Li's 10,000 generals are no match for me. If I go to the battlefield, I will kill Qin Gou as easily as taking something out of a bag."

As Li Shiwu spoke, he gestured twice with the sword.

He had completely forgotten that the godmother he feared the most was the one he called Qin Gou.

"Ahem, ahem, Moon, beat him up, don't show any mercy!"

Xiao Luoyang coughed twice, then stood up, facing the orange sun in the west, and muttered to himself: "The Central Plains will finally be unified!"

A few days passed.

The Daming Palace in the Tang Dynasty was in chaos.

All the civil and military officials were anxious and busy.

"Your Majesty, because of the alliance between the two countries, the Qin army is now only a hundred miles away from Chang'an City. We..."

Although the civil servant did not finish his words, everyone present knew that the last words he wanted to say were "peace talks".

"Shut up, you bastard!"

"Your Majesty, General Li Cunxiao is now at home on sick leave and has not attended court for nearly four years. I think only General Qin Qiong can take on the position of commander-in-chief."

Military officers are not as cowardly as civil officials. Even if there is no chance of winning due to the military strength or national power, they will never surrender without a fight.

soon.

The civil and military sides started out with a war of words, but gradually gained the upper hand.

The entire court was in chaos.

Li Yingtai, sitting on the Golden Phoenix Chair, looked at the noisy scene in front of him and just sighed helplessly.

Qin's attack on Tang will be after the destruction of the five kingdoms.

Jin Chan said that he would not let Li Yingtai end up being criticized.

"Enough, stop it, what do you think this court is?"

Seeing that the civil servant was about to be beaten to death, Li Yingtai spoke up to stop him.

"Qin Qiong, do you know how many troops Qin State has sent this time?"

"Reporting to the king, the estimated number of people outside Chang'an City is about 1.8 million!"

One million and eight hundred thousand?

After hearing this, all the ministers felt a chill down their spines.

At this time, both civil officials and military generals remained silent.

Because the current Tang Empire, even if all the troops from all over the country are counted, only has 800,000 to 900,000 soldiers.

With such a huge gap, and facing the powerful Qin army, the chance of winning is probably less than 10%.

"Your Majesty, I haven't finished speaking yet. According to the intelligence I just learned, a total of 1.3 million troops from the former Han, Wei, Chu, and Qi countries are already heading towards Chang'an!"

Another 1.3 million came.

This time, even the last 10% chance of winning is gone.

"General Qin, are you willing to lead the troops to fight against the tyrannical Qin?"

Li Yingtai asked.

"I will not betray the king's trust. If the king is willing, I will naturally follow his orders and send troops, but..."

Qin Qiong dragged out the last syllable and paused before continuing.

"However, I'm afraid that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty will never return."

These words made all the ministers frown and remain silent again.

These are the lives of hundreds of thousands of Tang people!

Is it really meaningful to send troops?

"Qin Qiong, listen to my orders. I appoint you as the main general in this fight against Qin. Lead the 400,000 Tang troops near Chang'an to go out of the city to meet the enemy. Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian, you two will be the left and right generals, each leading 100,000 soldiers!"

Li Yingtai stood up from the Golden Phoenix Chair, holding the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops in his hand, and asked the eunuch beside him to pass it to Qin Qiong in the audience.

"Your subjects, we obey your orders and fight against Qin!"

Qin Qiong, Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian all knelt on one knee at the same time and bowed their heads in response.

the other side.

Li House.

"Hey, I heard that a million Qin troops are outside Chang'an City right now. As a general of the Tang Kingdom, why don't you lead your troops out of the city to meet the enemy?"

On the martial arts stage.

Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao, who had just finished a great battle, were drinking and chatting.

The naked upper body, the exploding muscles, the flowing blood, and the countless wounds all proved that although the two men were sparring, neither of them held back.

"With a brain like yours, how did you become a general of the State of Chu?"

Li Cunxiao raised his neck and drank all the wine in the jar in one gulp. Then he looked at Xiang Yu who was sitting next to him with contempt.

"General, we fought for our country and died for our country. Even if we have to fight against the Jiufang Palace in the future, it is unreasonable for you to surrender without a fight."

In terms of tactfulness and insight, Xiang Yu was always far behind Li Cunxiao.

"First, I am not surrendering without a fight, it is because this war cannot be fought at all. Second, I am not fighting for my country, I am fighting for my own ambition, to become the greatest general in the world."

Li Cunxiao suddenly remembered that in the past two years, Yu Wei had persuaded Xiang Yu hundreds of times before finally convincing this stubborn man.

"Can't we fight? The Qin army is only about a hundred miles away from Chang'an. As long as they suppress it with a large army, Chang'an City may not be able to hold out for even a day. How can we not fight in this situation? Do you think they are here to have fun?"

Xiang Yu entered the military camp at the age of six and participated in countless battles of all sizes with his grandfather Xiang Yan.

And he is familiar with the Art of War.

Given the current situation between Qin and Tang, Qin's troops are almost at the gates of the city and there is absolutely no possibility of stopping.

"Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, let's make a bet!"

"What are you gambling?"

"If you lose, you have to admit that you were the first to fall in the Dujiang battle and you lost to me. Next time when I challenge Jin Chan, I will go first and you will go behind me."

"Okay, if I win, it'll be the other way around."

"Haha, that's great! In a few days, you, Xiang Yu, will be defeated by me, Li Cunxiao, forever."
