In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

Zhuang Jia didn't seem to care that Chen Sheng was about to die. Perhaps it was out of loyalty between ruler and subject, but he knelt down on one knee beside Chen Sheng.

"Your Majesty asks me why... I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers what you said several years ago, when you were still a hired laborer and had not yet made your fortune?" Zhuang Jia leaned close to Chen Sheng's ear and said calmly.

"Cough cough—Pfft..." Chen Sheng's eyes were already dimming, so he naturally couldn't answer Zhuang Jia.

"If we become rich and powerful, we will not forget each other. These are the words that Your Majesty promised. They have become a beautiful story in the countries. However, Your Majesty... after becoming rich and powerful, you have ruthlessly killed your fellow countrymen who should have been remembered by you..." Zhuang Jia narrowed his eyes.

Chen Sheng is already dead.

Zhuang Jia sighed and drove away.

Chen Sheng's unseeing corpse was left by the roadside, as if mocking something.

This momentous uprising ended so abruptly and ridiculously; it was truly a matter of timing and fate.

......

Xiang An, with a serious expression, rode his steed, leading the procession.

Xiang Bo had already transported the provisions to the camp ahead of time.

He remembered what Xiang Liang had said to him before the march.

Regardless of the attitude of the Qin generals defending the city, they must be killed without mercy!

This is crucial to the morale of Western Chu, and it is absolutely necessary.

This first battle must be fought, whether the other side likes it or not, and we must win!

Dantu is just twenty miles ahead. I suppose the captain guarding the city has already noticed me!

A smile appeared on Xiang An's lips.

He is now fully armed and in surprisingly good condition!

He carried a large halberd and a powerful bow on his back, an eight-sided bronze sword at his waist, and a black belt indicating his identity on his arm. As the commander of the rightmost army of the Western Chu army, he led 2,500 soldiers behind him and advanced rapidly towards Dantu.

He turned his head slightly to look behind him, surveying his army.

Zijuan, as one of only two brigade commanders in the team, ran on his left. The other brigade commander assigned to his command was named Wei Hao, one of the local strongmen who had submitted to Xiang Liang. He was incorporated into Xiang An's team. Unlike Xiang An and Zijuan, he fought in a chariot, not on horseback.

The cavalry and chariots were mixed together, and they were basically at the forefront and on the flanks. In the middle were a large number of infantry, and the chariots carried a lot of archers and a large number of spearmen.

The commander, Xiang An, disregarded the objections and stood at the very front of the team.

Xiang An had his own ideas about war. In his vision, he, as the division commander, should be the most important link on the entire battlefield.

Now, it's time to prove it...

At the edge of the horizon, a city has appeared.

In front of the city, the Qin army was already in full battle array.

Logically, at this point, they should have set up their troops, lined up their soldiers, and challenged each other before starting the war.

However, Xiang An did not intend to follow this rule.

"The entire army—!"

! ”

Xiang An had an extremely loud voice; his thunderous voice could be heard throughout the entire battlefield.

The moment all the soldiers and officers heard Xiang An's voice, their hearts pounded violently.

Click—!

!

Xiang An took the large, split spear from his back and assembled it on horseback.

A terrifying weapon, a full three zhang long, appeared in Xiang An's hands.

Ping Pong —

The four-sided sword with the halberd slammed into the ground, sparks flying and a crisp, loud sound echoing Xiang An's momentum.

I Have a Scroll of Ghost and Deity Illustrations

As if infected by Xiang An, Tuanchi raised its neck and let out an excited neigh. Although it did not speed up, the force of its four huge hooves on the ground became heavier and heavier. With almost every step, four more deep pits would appear on the ground, raising high clouds of dust.

"Follow me!"

! ”

Xiang An spun the large halberd in his hand and pointed it at Dantu City, which was not far away.

"Attack the city!"

! ”

"Oh!

"!" Zijuan took the lead in responding.

Oh oh oh oh oh!

!

!

"

Morale was incredibly high.

The Qin general guarding the city, watching the sandstorm rising in the distance, was already sweating profusely.

He thought this was a serious war. He and the enemy were both in position. He was even prepared to surrender immediately if he couldn't win. After all, everyone knew what the situation was like in the Qin Dynasty. He didn't intend to really risk his life.

However, he is now extremely uneasy.

Not only was he uneasy, but his three thousand generals were also very uneasy.

He felt that the general opposite him didn't seem to intend to follow the rules.

No, I can't give up my life here, I must—

We need to get into the city quickly!

"Open the city gates! Those people aren't here to fight!"

"!" He was drenched in sweat and shouted at the city gate. He looked back and was terrified.

When did these people get so close?!

!

"die!

! ”

Although they were still far away, Qin generals could almost hear the burly leader roaring out that word.

A kilometer's distance passed in the blink of an eye; the city gates hadn't even been opened yet.

Xiang An's army, with unparalleled might, had already reached the vicinity of Dantu City.

The galloping steeds amidst the surging waves, carrying the invincible general, reflected a scene that filled the Qin generals with despair.

The large berth was raised high.

------------

Chapter 864 With me here, what is there to fear?

Xiang An didn't know the Qin general's name. He only knew that the unlucky fellow's head had been smashed by his spear, and even the chest of the corpse had been stomped on by Tuan Chi as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer. A huge crater appeared in the armor and along with the ribs.

Xiang An paid no attention to the Dantu Commandant he had easily killed. He didn't even know that the Commandant was a commander. He led his cavalry and chariots and charged directly at the enemy's garrison.

Arrows shot down from the city wall were all swiftly dodged by Tuan Chi. Even those that Tuan Chi failed to dodge were struck down by Xiang An's halberd. Although it was unusual for a general to charge ahead of the troops, Xiang An was not afraid of these arrows at all.

The outcome was already largely decided the moment the two armies clashed.

The morale of the troops garrisoned by the Dantu commander wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either, however...

Perhaps emboldened by Xiang An's roar, the mere 2,500 men he led appeared like ferocious beasts to the Dantu defenders. Adding to this, their commander was crushed to death by Xiang An in less than a single exchange, his body mangled beyond recognition, a truly gruesome demise. The morale of the Dantu defenders plummeted like a balloon touched by orange juice...

After only a token resistance at the beginning, and with several hundred men killed, the garrison of Dantu surrendered readily...

Although it felt strangely fast, Xiang An seemed to understand that this battle was over...

"Commander Zi! Commander Wei!" He looked up at the trembling deputy general above the city gate and the opening gate itself, then looked back at Zijuan and Wei Hao, who were some distance away from him.

"General!" Zijuan rode over on horseback, and the general named Wei Hao also dismounted and walked over on foot.

Although Xiang An was only a division commander, he was still a subordinate general, so it was not a problem to call him a general.

Xiang An nodded, wiped his face to remove the blood that had gotten on his face when he killed the captain with a spear, and said, "This city is now ours. Zijuan, send your men to inform the General. Wei Hao, you are in charge of taking in these prisoners... I will take over the rest of the city."

"Yes!" Zijuan responded swiftly, turned her horse around, and left.

Wei Hao was still hesitant: "General, these soldiers... their numbers are huge, almost as many as our army. Is it really okay to incorporate them?"

Wei Hao was a man in his early thirties, quite robust and handsome, and he greatly admired Xiang An.

"...It's alright. With me here, no one can stir up trouble." Xiang An glanced at the soldiers who were surrounded, frowned, thought for a moment, and decided to incorporate these Dantu soldiers into his army.

He hadn't put his halberd away yet, so he picked it up again, spun it around twice, and then smashed it against the city wall with a bang, creating a huge gap in the wall. The loud noise startled the people still at the foot of the city wall and the deputy general who had just opened the city gate and knelt down to surrender.

Standing next to Xiang An, Wei Hao was the most startled. His voice trembled slightly as he looked at Xiang An, who was much taller than him: "General, the city wall..."

“It’s alright. This will be our rear from now on. A little damage won’t matter.” Xiang An disassembled his large halberd and put it back on his back. Looking into Wei Hao’s eyes, although he was much younger, his aura was enough to make Wei Hao look up to him. “If this rear requires a complete city wall to defend, then we generals and leaders might as well all commit suicide.”

After saying this, he walked past Wei Hao and headed towards the group of surrendered generals who were kneeling on their knees, talking as he went.

"Do as I say, and there won't be any problems."

"......Yes."

Watching Xiang An walk away, Wei Hao finally stopped trembling, but the light in his eyes shone even brighter.

With a general like that, how could the future possibly be anything but wealth and glory!?

......
