Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 747: Night ends, dawn arrives

In the rainy night, everyone was doing their own thing.

Liu San led the rangers and fought with Hei Tai's men in the dark without anyone knowing.

Qin is the state of water, so its color is black.

There is also the rotation of the Five Elements, in which yellow earth overcomes black water.

Therefore, the alchemists of Qin State took advantage of the changes of movement and stillness, took the stillness of the Black Water and the thickness of the Loess, and built a platform to suppress the fortune of Qin State.

This stage is the Black Ice Stage.

When the black water mixes with the yellow earth, it becomes an ice that is different from any other kind of mysterious ice between heaven and earth.

It has both the flow of water and the calmness of ice.

Therefore, it has the effect of reflecting the universe.

On the black ice platform is the most terrifying force in the twilight of the Qin State.

Even those great immortal sects and ancient gods did not dare to be sure whether the eyes of the Black Ice Platform were hiding around them.

This is the Black Ice Terrace.

The shadow of the Qin Empire.

Eliminate all hidden dangers for the Qin Dynasty.

And now, Liu San is leading the rangers to fight against such shadows.

In the midst of the rainstorm, tiny sparks of fire flickered and extinguished - but in the end, everything was hidden in the darkness.

At this time, the city was quiet.

The army was equally silent.

The supplies that Zhang Liang had racked his brains to collect were sent into the camp one cart after another, and the elite soldiers in the city also slowly moved towards the camp.

In the camp, Xiang Yu, the commander-in-chief, was inspecting the war horses in the camp.

In the camp, the soldiers were quiet, and the war horses were equally quiet.

That is a real divine horse.

It was also the Qin State's alchemist who implanted the blood of a real dragon into a warhorse and created a divine horse - it was unstoppable on the battlefield, and was not controlled by the blood of the real dragon at all. It could be said that it had no natural enemies between heaven and earth.

Even in the Qin State, there were not many such dragon horses.

Since Chen She started the uprising in Daze, Zhang Liang has been making various arrangements, and has also received secret support from many immortals, gods, and noble families. There are only about 300 such divine horses scattered in Daze, and they are all prepared to be used as stud horses to improve the bloodlines of other war horses.

And now, all these more than 300 divine horses were sent to Xiang Yu's army.

After inspecting more than 300 divine horses, Xiang Yu put on his armor and stood guard in front of the camp gate, waiting for the elite soldiers to gather while accumulating strength and recuperating his spirit.

Naturally, he could also see clearly the flames in the city that flickered like stars.

He knew that those were the spies from the Black Ice Platform in the city, who were trying to pass the news from the city back - and Liu San was leading the rangers to fight against these spies.

But he remained unmoved.

Everyone has his own thing to do, and everyone should do his own thing well.

Moreover, he was confident enough that even if the spies from the Black Ice Platform in the city spread the news, the elite troops he led would be enough to break through the army under Zhang Han.

Speaking of which, he actually had some interest in Zhang Han - since he set foot in the swamp, he had fought with Zhang Han twelve times.

Every time, Zhang Han was fully equipped with weapons and armor.

Every time, he outnumbered the opponent.

But every time, Xiang Yu wins!
They were defeated in succession like this, and each time they were defeated with overwhelming force despite having superior forces, this happened twelve times!
In such a situation, if it were anyone else, they would have lost all confidence long ago and would not have the courage to confront Xiang Yu, let alone dare to set foot on the battlefield.

But Zhang Han didn't care about it at all. He was not affected by the twelve defeats at all. He was still active on the battlefield and still dared to face Xiang Yu and plot against Xiang Yu.

The most interesting thing is that even after being defeated twelve times in a row, the generals and soldiers under Zhang Han were still convinced by Zhang Han. They never disobeyed Zhang Han's orders, nor did they clamor and instigate Qin to change generals.

This is truly an incredible thing.

You must know that when the State of Qin destroyed Chu, it just wanted to let Wang Jian's son replace Wang Jian to command the army, which made the soldiers make a lot of noise and almost caused a military mutiny.

A general who leads troops cares most about victory or defeat.

Once he loses once, the soldiers under his command will become jealous of him - he lost twelve times in a row, but he was still able to command the army. How could Xiang Yu not be curious?

"Xiang Yu is a very impatient person. If I am not mistaken, Xiang Yu will definitely launch an attack early tomorrow morning." On the other side, Zhang Han also stepped onto the high platform and looked at the night in the distance, as if he saw Xiang Yu who was preparing.

"Is Xiang Yu really as outstanding as you said?" In front of Zhang Han, there was another person wearing a black crown and a black robe.

It was none other than the Qin State's Chief Charioteer, Zhao Gao.

He was ordered to make a decision on the matter of Daze. Because of Zhang Han's delay, he came here in person to see whether the battle situation in Daze was really as "difficult" as Zhang Han said.

The First Emperor ordered him to deal with the matter of Daze, but this matter was not as easy to handle as he expected.

Because the generals of Qin State did not listen to him.

Even Zhang Han was promoted by him out of helplessness.

Fortunately, Zhang Han earned him a lot of face and also let those generals in the empire who were proud of their achievements know that they were not so irreplaceable.

Therefore, Zhao Gao always regarded Zhang Han as his "direct descendant".

Therefore, although Zhang Han had been delaying the war, which made Zhao Gao very dissatisfied, Zhao Gao had no intention of "punishing" Zhang Han. Instead, he gave Zhang Han greater support.

For example, the power of the Black Ice Platform that intervened here.

"It's even worse than the rumors."

"You can only know a person's demeanor when you meet him in person," said Zhang Han.

"This world is indeed as your majesty said, full of heroes."

"How confident are you that you can capture him alive?" Listening to Zhang Han's words, Zhao Gao also developed great interest in Xiang Yu.

Zhao Gao had a very good quality - that is, when it comes to professional matters, he trusts professionals.

Just like after he handed the war over to Zhang Han, he only asked Zhang Han for help when there was something, and provided him with people and food when he needed them. He never went beyond Zhang Han's permission to interfere in the war.

Even though he was anxious at this time, he only came here in person to observe the situation instead of asking Zhang Han to give him an explanation.

Not only that, when he came, he also brought great support to Zhang Han.

The black ice platform is just one of them.

"Difficult." Zhang Han rejected Zhao Gao's proposal without hesitation.

"Zhongche Ling has never seen his ability in battle, so he can still have such thoughts."

"If he had seen it, Zhongche Ling would never have such thoughts."

"To be honest with you, even if I can force Xiang Yu to leave the city and fight, even if I have prepared the battlefield in advance, even if my troops on the battlefield are a hundred times his, my target is still only Chen She, and I dare not even think of keeping Xiang Yu."

"Xiang Yu, the commander of the imperial chariots, is like a god!"

"It's only because he was born late. Otherwise, it would be uncertain whether the Chu State would be destroyed or not."

"He was a man who could support an entire vassal state on his own!" When talking about Xiang Yu, Zhang Han's mouth was full of praise.

The more this happened, the more Zhao Gao wanted to capture Xiang Yu alive.

Although everyone in the world had a positive view of how capable Zhang Han was, only Zhao Gao knew how powerful Zhang Han really was.

Since the Battle of Daze, he has been transferring food and manpower to Zhang Han.

Let’s not talk about food and fodder supplies for now - but it’s different from what ordinary people think.

The personnel he transferred to Zhang Han as reinforcements were never Qin's elite soldiers.

Instead, they were prisoners he had selected from various places.

Just an ordinary commoner!

After all, the generals in the Qin army system were not of the same kind as Zhao Gao, and they did not give him face.

Therefore, the only people he could mobilize were the prisoners.

However, under Zhang Han, these prisoners drawn from various places, these ordinary common people, were transformed into quite elite soldiers.

In other words, it was over these years that Zhang Han built such a large army almost from scratch.

This is why Zhao Gao was so tolerant of Zhang Han.

Anyone who knew Zhang Han's abilities would be very tolerant of him.

This is also the reason why Zhang Han was able to firmly control the morale of the army even after being defeated twelve times in a row by Xiang Yu.

Because in essence, this army was trained by Zhang Han.

His existence is equivalent to the morale of this army.

As long as he doesn't collapse, his army's morale will not collapse.

"Over the years, Your Majesty has collected all the gold in the world and cast a tripod to control the world."

"This tripod has the power to suppress everything. It is the symbol of your majesty's imperial power. No matter how brave the generals in the empire are, their hands and feet will freeze in front of this tripod. They can't even draw their weapons."

"Moreover, this tripod can suppress the enemy but not yourself."

"I am your Majesty's close attendant. Although I do not have the authority to command the army like Li Si, I can still influence the movement of this precious tripod."

"If I bring the precious tripod here and subdue Xiang Yu, can you capture him?" Zhao Gao thought for a while.

The First Emperor wanted to meet the hero of the world - and now, the greatest hero in the world was undoubtedly Chen She.

But Zhang Han, who faced Chen She directly, believed that Xiang Yu was a more heroic figure than Chen She, and was almost like a god.

Then Zhao Gao had the obligation to bring this hero, who was more heroic than Chen She, to the First Emperor.

As for the loss of manpower and material resources, Zhao Gao doesn't care!

As long as the First Emperor can be satisfied, any price will be worth it.

Including, Zhang Han's army of hundreds of thousands went to fill the gap and exhausted Xiang Yu's strength!

"If that's true, we can give it a try." Zhang Han thought for a while, as if he realized Zhao Gao's determination.

"Then I will bring the nearest tripod here tonight."

In addition to the Nine Cauldrons cast by the First Emperor and hidden under the earth, which only he and Li Si knew about, there were many other imitations - the precious tripods mentioned by Zhao Gao.

Because they were produced from the same furnace, these precious tripods also have various mysterious and strange powers.

Then it was sent to every city and county, thus bringing stability to all counties and prefectures.

With Zhao Gao's authority, he could just mobilize a large tripod - even the Taiyi immortals who had been granted titles in the mortal world and could use their magic powers under the spirit of humanity, as well as those human immortals who could kill Taiyi, would be suppressed by this tripod.

Just as everyone was preparing, the rain gradually weakened and then stopped.

The closed gate of Daze City also slowly opened.

Under the sunshine, all shadows disappear into thin air.

Liu San rubbed his cheeks tiredly, spread his legs in an untidy manner, and sat down on the steps in an alley.

Next to him, the farmer opened the door and handed over a bottle of slightly turbid water made from green grass. Liu San thanked him without hesitation, then took the water and drank it all in one gulp.

Just as Liu San promised King Chen, he would do his utmost to maintain stability in the city and not give anyone the opportunity to cause chaos - so, in just one night, all the spies from the Black Ice Platform who were lurking in the swamp were found and strangled.

Those who were not found had no chance to spread the news.

At the same time, those rangers who might cause trouble also learned that the families of generals and soldiers in the city had been detained, and King Chen planned to rescue their families at all costs. As a result, the city’s defenses would become empty.

Therefore, King Chen entrusted his life and the lives of countless people in the city to these rangers.

Therefore, these rangers who had been extremely undisciplined in the past now behaved themselves. They tore off their left sleeves, revealing half of their arms as a mark. For the first time, they collectively obeyed the "laws" of the city and patrolled the city despite the exhaustion after the fighting.

At this time, Xiang Yu had already prepared his own "army".

Not much, only eight thousand.

But these eight thousand are the most elite soldiers in this great swamp.

It is the skeleton of this vast swamp.

If these eight thousand elite soldiers were destroyed, the swamp would also collapse in an instant.

"I won't say much to boost morale." Looking at the army that had awakened, Xiang Yu, who had been silent all night, finally spoke.

"I will march in front of the battle and clear the way for you."

"Gentlemen, follow my flag!"

"Wherever the flag is, I, Xiang Yu, am."

Xiang Yu said calmly.

"Yes!" Then these eight thousand elite soldiers all spoke.

For many of them, it was not the first time they fought against Xiang Yu, and they were all familiar with Xiang Yu's style.

On the battlefield, Xiang Yu's flag was always in the front and always in the most conspicuous place.

All we need to do is follow Xiang Yu's flag, and victory will follow.

Using eight thousand elite soldiers to attack an army twenty times larger than them - not only that, they also had to protect the 'hostages' in the army and fight their way back.

Ever since "war" appeared in the world, no commander has ever dared to dream such a dream.

But Xiang Yu dared to do it.

And the eight thousand elite soldiers under his command - three hundred dragon riders, two thousand seven hundred elite cavalry, and five thousand infantry.

They dare too!

Moreover, they all believe they can do it.

I also believe that Xiang Yu can do it.

"Let's go." Xiang Yu waved the flag and rode out first.
