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

"Fearless! Fearless! Fearless!"

"Will you fight or not!?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"go!"

Three thousand soldiers, carrying leather bags as long as a person, followed behind the general riding a white horse, rushing out of the Great Wall like a bolt of lightning, heading resolutely beyond the homeland of mankind.

Behind them, in the city of Yuyang, the villagers watched them leave.

They didn't know what Xiang An and his group were going there for, but they remembered Xiang An's name and his overwhelming aura.

The general riding the grey-white steed was named Xiang An.

......

Beneath the Great Wall, Xiang An led his generals to fight to the death, while within the Central Plains and outside Chencang, Han Xin had already established a fact.

Chencang has weak defenses.

When Liu Ji first expressed his dissatisfaction with Xiang Yu's enfeoffment, Dong Yi was startled. However, he sent people to investigate the intelligence within the Han state and discovered that Liu Ji had dispatched a large number of soldiers to the Shu Road, seemingly to repair the burned plank roads.

After observing for a period of time, Dong Yi felt relieved. He only symbolically transferred a few people to garrison the Han-Zhai border. He did not intend to seriously guard against Liu Ji at all. Instead, he focused on the internal struggle with the Sai King Sima Xin and put all his troops on the Zhai-Sai border line, ready to devour a piece of the other side at any time.

Since Liu Ji chose the Prince of Linjiang in the east as his opponent, Dong Yi naturally wouldn't get involved.

"The momentum of the Shu Road has been built up. If we want to capture the pass into the Central Plains, now is the time!" Han Xin smiled without any surprise.

As the commander of the Han army, he led his troops in an attack on Chencang.

Dong Yi had no idea that Han Xin would be lying in ambush here, and that he would launch a surprise attack at night. By the time he found out, it was too late.

Enraged, he cursed loudly in the Zhai Palace, saying that Liu Ji lacked martial virtue. Then, Liu Ji gave Dong Yi a very official scolding in the Han Palace.

An army must have a legitimate reason for its actions, even if that reason is fabricated.

Liu Ji accused Dong Yi of being in cahoots with Xiang Yu and plotting to trap him in Bashu. He claimed that his scheme against Dong Yi was for revenge.

Dong Yi, he...

He really didn't have much to say.

Because he really did do it.

"Jiang Hao, go! Draw 30,000 troops from Lucheng! Recapture Chencang!" Dong Yi ordered the General of Zhai State in a fit of rage, "If you can't defend against the Han soldiers, you might as well die over there!"

Point Guard Here

Jiang Hao led 30,000 men to attack Han Xin, while Dong Yi himself stayed at the Zhai Sai border, wary of any possible attack from Sima Xin.

Han Xin simply smiled.

Do as you please with your troops and generals; in my eyes, whatever schemes you employ are futile.

The person who can defeat me, Han Xin, through strategy... hasn't been born yet!

......

Perhaps because it was already quite far north, after the sky was shrouded in a layer of gray, something crystal clear fell down.

"It's snowing..." Xiang An sighed as he watched the snowflakes melt into water droplets in his palm and glanced south.

They had to return to the Central Plains before the snow stopped. The war in the Central Plains was about to break out again, and Xiang Yu was sure to be interfering. Xiang An was worried that his older brother, whose brain was not fully developed, would do something disgusting again.

"Second Brother, look over there!" Zijuan exclaimed, pointing in a direction.

Xiang An turned his head and looked at Zijuan's face, his expression darkening.

That was a source of pride.

It was tall and thin, wearing what looked like clothes, but they were not enough to cover its body; they were just a clumsy imitation of its prey, or perhaps it was trying to keep warm.

"Ao Yin." Xiang An muttered to himself, took his large halberd from his back, and glared at Ao Yin.

"All departments, heed my command—!"

call--

The cold wind carried Xiang An's roar to the ears of the three thousand soldiers, and also to Ao Yin's ears.

It spotted Xiang An and the others, and its withered legs suddenly burst forth with tremendous speed, charging towards the Western Chu soldiers with the excitement of discovering prey.

And what was hidden behind the gentle slope behind it has also been revealed.

Foreign race.

They were all of a different race.

It was a dense, dark mass, with a wide variety of species, even more than Xiang An's catalogue had recorded.

All the soldiers of Western Chu took out their weapons.

"exist!

! ”

"Follow me—"

"kill--!

! ”

"kill--!

! ”

The alien race charged towards Xiang An.

Xiang An also charged towards the alien race.

The soldiers of Western Chu reacted with a mixture of amazement, curiosity, and disdain.

But no one was afraid.

As veterans who had followed the Xiang family since their time in Kuaiji, they had nothing to fear anymore.

"kill------!

! ”

The first battle arrived along with the first snow.

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

Chapter 957 Can you eat ground wolves?

Rushing through the snow, his strong muscles were sharply defined, and his eyes shone with a blue light, as if echoing the magic within Xiang An's body, unleashing even greater speed and power.

Having been ridden by the Savior Machine for many years, sharing the same heartbeat with it, and fighting and waging war alongside it, it is no ordinary horse; the thunderous sound of its iron hooves striking the ground is proof of that.

Xiang An gripped the halberd's tail with one hand, swinging the heavy halberd, which was three zhang long and weighed over four hundred jin, with one hand. The wound on his chest had healed, and Xiang An could now fight with all his might.

Zijuan rode her jujube horse at full speed to Xiang An's right, but Xiang An and Tuanchi had already pulled ahead by more than a hundred meters.

However, her attention was not on Xiang An; she was staring at those ugly and terrifying alien races.

Zijuan's hand, gripping the spear, tightened slightly, and a beautiful yet ferocious smile appeared on her lips.

Xiao Si, Fourth Miss, these are the titles that the elders and guests of the Xiang family use to address her.

She was in the military, but she only had one title.

General Zi!

She is the greatest female general in the land! She is the first since Fu Hao!

Xiang An had already made contact with the alien race. His heavy halberd slammed into the alien group, like a sickle slicing wheat. The first strike alone sent several aliens flying, a pile of filthy heads flying up, filled with madness and hunger.

Zijuan showed no weakness, and with a flick of her spearhead, a shard of ice flashed across the cold light as she thrust it straight at the proud horse amidst the neighing of the jujube steed.

Ao Yin was over ten feet tall with arms eight feet long. He reached out to grab Zi Juan, but Zi Juan stabbed her hand in the palm with her spear. Together with Zao Ji, they twisted the hand, and Ao Yin roared in pain as his arm twisted unnaturally. With a pull backward and a thrust forward, Ao Yin's heart exploded with a spray of dirty black blood, and he fell onto the grass where there was no snow yet.

Not only Zijuan, but all three thousand soldiers were fighting against these foreign tribes.

Behold, a soldier shattered the form of a demon with a single spear thrust, reducing it to ashes. The next second, a chisel-toothed man bit its head, and the soldier fell to the ground, clearly beyond saving.

Liao Ye swung his long spear, severing the heads of wolves on the ground; Xiang Lu drew his longbow and shot an arrogant man in the eye socket; Wei Hao thrust his spear forward, piercing the heart of a man with chisels.

The group of aliens numbered approximately eight hundred, and it wasn't until nightfall that they were finally cleared out.

Xiang An's armor was stained with dark red blood. He dismounted and gasped for breath.

"...Xiao Ye, how many people died?"

Liao Ye opened his mouth and sighed softly.

"Reporting to the General, it is three hundred and forty-eight."

Where's the horse?

"Two hundred and ninety-nine."

Xiang An let out a breath and patted his head in frustration.

"Have the soldiers pack up their comrades and bring them back later. The horse handlers aren't dead, are they?"

"No, during the charge, the horses stayed at the rear and didn't engage in combat," Liao Ye shook his head.

Although he had witnessed many colleagues die, Liao Ye still couldn't get used to it.

No one can get used to it.

Zijuan half-squatted on the ground, grabbed the horn on the head of an Aoyin, turned the alien corpse over, and examined it carefully.

“I never imagined that such demons would exist beyond this pass…” Zijuan sighed and stabbed Aoyin in the face with her spear, stabbing him a couple more times.

“Back then, my brother and I dealt with these kinds of things on the plateau, in the basin, and in the rainforest.” Xiang An walked to Zijuan’s side and crushed Aoyin’s head with one foot.

“This isn’t the total number; we need to keep looking.” Shaking his head, Xiang An looked at the gray sky and sighed.

"The soldiers have already started setting up camp, and we have enough food for seven days." Standing up, Zijuan spoke of other things.

Xiang An pursed his lips, took two steps forward, picked up a ground wolf, and threw it in front of Zi Juan.

"This thing is edible, but it doesn't taste very good. Tell the soldiers to skin it."
