It was as if nothing had happened.
This surprised him somewhat.
"Hahaha, Xiang Yu, don't worry. I am not Prime Minister Cao, and you are not Dian Wei. I will not let you die here. Send the signal, it's time for my backup plan to be deployed!"
"promise!"
Xiang Yu's anger turned to joy. He immediately took out the gunpowder from his pocket, pulled the fuse, and a cannon shot rang out in the mansion.
"kill!"
At this moment, the men in black who were charging in had not yet noticed anything unusual.
They assumed the sounds of fighting in the city were their comrades, who had already succeeded, ambushing and killing government troops.
Unexpectedly, the soldiers trapped them like turtles in a jar.
"Your Excellency, be careful!"
"Thanks for reminding me!"
Suddenly, a clueless assassin lunged at his back.
Yu Ji couldn't help but offer a reminder.
But Li Lin showed no intention of dodging.
Although he didn't know martial arts and had no martial arts skills.
But that doesn't mean he has no fighting ability at all.
He pulled out a hidden weapon from his pocket and unleashed a barrage of attacks at him.
"ah......"
His eyes widened, and dark red blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He collapsed to the ground, half-kneeling.
"Oh dear, times have changed. Still using knives for close combat? Ten paces away, a gun is faster; within ten paces, a gun is both faster and more accurate!"
Li Lin couldn't help but shake his head.
Science and technology are indeed the primary productive force.
At this moment, he was holding a Qin army short crossbow, but instead of ordinary feathered arrows, it was equipped with specially made arrows with gunpowder.
At close range, if it hits a person, the gunpowder explodes.
Even if it doesn't hit a vital spot, it will still render the person incapable of fighting.
Not to mention, this guy was shot directly into his chest.
The gunpowder exploded.
It would be strange if he didn't die.
"Aaaaaah..."
When Yu Ji saw such a bloody scene, she was so frightened that her face turned deathly pale.
"You're scared of such a small situation?"
To be honest, Li Lin was also very scared.
However, he managed to maintain his composure in front of the girl.
Outside the house.
The sounds of cavalry charging and fighting continued.
Xiang Yu fought bravely against dozens of assassins outside.
He held a weapon and wore armor, revealing a fatal flaw in his body, as he was surrounded by the assassins and fought them like a spinning top.
"That brute is really something!"
Yu Ji saw Xiang Yu in the crowd and couldn't help but praise him.
"Powerful? No, no, no, he's the easiest to deal with, but you always overlook me, the most difficult one, and instead focus your energy on him. Having only strength but no brains is just being a brute. I prefer a brute to someone with brains but no strength."
Li Lin seemed to realize that Xiang Yu was already running out of strength, and his fighting style had changed from fierce attacks to slow defenses, as if he couldn't hold on any longer.
That's true.
It is true that Xiang Yu's martial prowess was astonishing, but the level of teamwork and coordination among these assassins was also remarkably high.
They were clearly specially trained assassins, not only cooperating seamlessly with each other, but also adjusting their strategies accordingly to counter Xiang Yu's fighting style.
This meant that no matter how powerful Xiang Yu was, he couldn't unleash his full potential all at once.
However, this led to a war of attrition, which was also disadvantageous for Xiang Yu, since with so many people, Xiang Yu's stamina was definitely not as good as theirs.
"Li Lin is out! Quickly grab Li Lin, and you guys hold him off!"
"good!"
The assassins were overjoyed to see their target emerge, and immediately dispatched more than a dozen men wielding gleaming machetes to charge towards Li Lin.
