When did Xiang Yu have such a brave general under his command?
Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, who were in charge of the central army, looked at Lin Han from afar, who was advancing side by side with Xiang Yu and charging into the battle formation, and were filled with surprise.
Both sides were very aware of each other's situation. They had never heard that Xiang Yu had such a brave general under his command, and his momentum in charging into the battle was no less than Xiang Yu's.
At this moment, Liu Bang frowned, looking somewhat worried, while Zhang Liang, who was standing beside him, had a bad feeling.
Because things seemed to be beyond his calculations.
"Military advisor, do you know this person?" Liu Bang asked in the battle formation.
"I don't recognize him. He might be a newly promoted general." Zhang Liang looked at Lin Han charging into the battle formation, pinched his fingers, looked up at the sky, and was suddenly surprised: "He is someone beyond his destiny."
"What person is beyond your destiny?" Liu Bang asked.
"The Emperor Star has deviated and is obscured. His fate is unknown, and this person is a variable." Zhang Liang said cautiously, "Heaven's destiny was originally determined, and the world will be ruled by the Liu family. But now I have calculated this person again, and fate is once again uncertain. His fate is indescribably precious, even more so than Xiang Yu's."
"What?" Liu Bang was shocked. "Is there any way to eliminate the variables?"
"We need to make some plans. We invited Han Xin, Peng Yue, Ying Bu, and other vassal states, but they didn't show up. I'm afraid our plans are insufficient. King of Han, I'm afraid you'll need to grant them fiefdoms to reassure them." Zhang Liang said, "As long as they participate in the encirclement and suppression of Xiang Yu, any changes won't change the overall situation."
"They want to be princes. This..." Liu Bang was embarrassed, his eyes flashing with anger as he said, "I fought with Xiang Yu for the world, but I want to divide it equally with them?"
"If they hadn't come, Xiang Yu wouldn't have been defeated, and the world would have been divided."
Zhang Liang was amazed as he watched Xiang Yu fighting on the battlefield.
If Xiang Yu had not been so arrogant and self-willed, he would have been the perfect candidate to unify the world. Unfortunately, his character flaws doomed him to failure.
"My lord, you can promise him the fiefdom first, and then make a decision after the world is unified. Xiang Yu's threat is worse than anything else. If we tear up the agreement this time and give Xiang Yu another chance to breathe, we will end up dead without a burial place." Chen Ping said beside him.
After he finished speaking, Liu Bang's eyes flashed and he nodded slightly.
The battlefield was intense, the military formations were changing, and the sounds of fighting continued.
Xiang Yu, blood-soaked, grew stronger with each attack, charging through the enemy lines, unstoppable. Lin Han did the same, the two of them like two raging beasts, tearing vast gulps through their ranks.
"King of Han, it's time to sound the horn." Zhang Liang looked at the army formation and sighed, "Xiang Yu's bravery is unmatched. Without Han Xin and Peng Yue, we can only delay him until he collapses."
"Sound the horn." Liu Bang ordered the troops to retreat without hesitation.
After fighting for an hour, Liu Bang's camp called off the troops.
At the end of the first battle, Liu Bang's army lost 40,000 soldiers and Xiang Yu's army lost 24,000 soldiers.
When Lin Han returned from the battlefield, his murderous aura had subsided, and he looked like an ordinary person, nothing out of the ordinary. If he weren't covered in blood, the others would have thought he was just out for a walk.
However, seeing Lin Han's calm appearance and then seeing him covered in blood, the contrast was very strong.
The personal soldiers who had just been ordered by Xiang Yu to protect Lin Han now looked at Lin Han with the same awe as they looked at Xiang Yu.
"Is Brother Lin injured?"
After Xiang Yu wiped the blood from the halberd in his hand, he looked at Lin Han and asked his personal soldiers.
"Your Majesty, the sir is very strong." The personal soldier smiled bitterly.
Just now when they were charging into the battle formation, it was not them who protected Lin Han, but Lin Han who protected them. Otherwise, they would not have been able to come back safely at this time.
Hearing this, Xiang Yu was surprised.
"How strong?"
"I'm afraid your strength is not weaker than the generals here." The personal guards did not dare to say that Lin Han was comparable to Xiang Yu, but he was better than generals he had met, such as Ji Bu and Xiang Zhuang.
"So strong?" Xiang Yu suddenly became interested.
He knew Lin Han had some strength, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to withstand his pressure without blinking when they first met. But hearing it from his personal guards was another matter.
"May I ask, Brother Lin, how strong are you?" Xiang Yu asked.
"Nascent Soul." Lin Han said lightly.
After these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
This was his strength after entering the dungeon and being restricted by the dungeon mechanism. If he were to unleash his true strength, he would not be able to survive a day this time.
"I didn't expect Brother Lin to be so powerful." Xiang Yu nodded unexpectedly.
The other generals looked at Lin Han with a look that was no longer as casual as at the beginning, but with more admiration.
Previously, in their opinion, Lin Han only had some strategy and courage, but now it seems that all of Lin Han’s confidence comes from his own strength.
This victory brought rare joy to the military camp.
Two days later, Liu Bang led his troops to attack again, and the battle broke out again. The final result was the same: in a frontal attack, Liu Bang's troops were no match for Xiang Yu.
Two days later, Liu Bang reorganized his army and came again, but was defeated and had to withdraw again.
After five positional battles, Liu Bang's 160,000 troops failed to attack Guling, and only 40,000 were left, so he retreated in a hurry. Xiang Yu's 180,000 troops were reduced to only 100,000.
After Liu Bang left, Guling fell into silence.
Xiang Yu was full of confidence at the beginning, but now there is worry in his eyes. Things seem to be moving in the direction predicted by Lin Han. He can't help but suspect that Lin Han is right.
The quiet period was short, lasting ten days.
Ten days later, military intelligence arrived from the front: Han Xin, Peng Yue, Ying Bu, and Liu Jia agreed to Liu Bang's terms and chose to send troops, who were encircling them.
Han Xin had 300,000 troops, Peng Yue had 30,000 troops, Ying Bu and Liu Jia had 100,000 troops, and Liu Bang dispatched troops from the rear to join him, totaling 200,000.
