Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

In this era, the manufacturing process of large ships is extremely complicated. Many slightly larger ships are often limited to sailing between rivers. If you want to sail a ship on the vast ocean, the challenge is extraordinary. The sea is raging and unpredictable, which puts extremely high demands on the structural strength of the ship. Not only that, the manufacture of such a large sea ship is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

In fact, it is not that no one in Kuaiji has tried to build a seafaring ship, but the difficulty is beyond imagination. Because of this, not only Xiang Zhuang was negligent in reminding Fan Zeng, but many people also held the same view, thinking that it was simply unnecessary.

On the other hand, Xiang Zhuang was actually a man who could see the situation clearly. Even if the southern border really chose to launch an offensive from the sea, he knew very well that the real concern should be the offshore waters near Wu County. In comparison, the strategic position of Wushang County was obviously not that crucial. Xiang Zhuang did not act according to Fan Zeng's request in the end. But who would have thought that at this point, when everything was a foregone conclusion, he really regretted it, but it was too late to regret it now, and his intestines were almost green with regret!

Soon, as the Southern Border Army began to attack the city on a large scale, the battle instantly entered a white-hot stage. Soldiers from both sides engaged in close combat, swords flashed and swords clashed, shouts and fighting resounded through the sky. Arrows rained down on the city walls, and catapults continuously threw huge stones to try to stop the enemy from climbing; while the Southern Border Army under the city did not retreat, but bravely moved forward, and ladders were put up on the city walls one after another.

Not far from the rear of the battlefield, Gao Yao, riding a strong and tall warhorse, stood firmly in place. He stood tall and straight, with a solemn expression, silently staring at the fierce battle on the city wall in front of him.

At this time, Gao Yao's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, tightly locked on Xiang Zhuang who was fighting bravely on the city wall. Xiang Zhuang was wearing heavy armor and holding a sharp sword. Under the enemy's overwhelming attack, he did not retreat and commanded with confidence.

Gao Yao couldn't help but reveal a hint of admiration in his eyes. Although his side had a clear advantage, Xiang Zhuang still showed good command ability.

Although the soldiers led by Xiang Zhuang were at a disadvantage and suffered heavy casualties, they were able to quickly and orderly organize an effective defense line under his orderly command. Gao Yao thought to himself: Xiang Zhuang, who was only famous for a sword dance in history, is actually far more than a simple character portrayed in a few words in history books. His true strength and ability should not be underestimated.

The cruel reality will not change easily because of one person's unremitting efforts. Although Xiang Zhuang mobilized the defenders to the maximum extent and the defenders tried their best, the supplies in the city were too limited. They only held on for about ten minutes before the situation took a turn for the worse. The enemy soldiers from the south quickly climbed up the city wall.

At this time, Erniu, who was standing next to Gao Yao, stepped forward and asked for battle without hesitation: "My lord, please allow me to lead the personal soldiers to fight the enemy!"

Facing Erniu's initiative to volunteer, Gao Yao just smiled slightly, and that smile revealed a kind of confidence and composure.

"Of course we have to fight, but you won't be the one leading the attack this time. Come, charge into battle with me! Time is running out, we must conquer Wushang County as quickly as possible!"

After hearing Gao Yao's unquestionable words, Erniu originally wanted to persuade him a few more times, but then he changed his mind and remembered that he had followed Gao Yao for such a long time and knew Gao Yao's temper very well - he either did not make a decision, but once he made up his mind, no one could shake him in the slightest.

So, Erniu said no more, but answered loudly: "Yes!"

At this moment, Gao Yao was seen riding a steed horse, galloping like the wind, and arrived at the foot of the city wall in the blink of an eye. His eyes were cold, staring closely at the towering city wall and the siege ladders erected on it. Then, Gao Yao suddenly pushed hard on the horse's back, and his figure soared into the air like an arrow from a bow, and rushed straight towards the siege ladder.

With a loud bang, Gao Yao landed steadily about halfway up the siege ladder. He held the long sword tightly in one hand, and the sword flashed with cold light, as if telling of the coming killing and blood. Gao Yao did not stop for a moment, and immediately climbed up with force, his movements were agile and fast, like a nimble cheetah.

At the same time, the Chu soldiers on the top of the city wall were engaged in a fierce battle with the Southern Border Army. One of the Chu soldiers had just stabbed a Southern Border soldier off the city wall, and before he could catch his breath, he suddenly felt a strong breath coming towards him. He looked up in astonishment and saw a black shadow approaching him at an alarming speed along the ladder.

In an instant, the shadow was within reach, and the Chu soldier didn't even have time to react. A flash of white light passed by, followed by a sharp scream, and blood splashed like a fountain. The Chu soldier died instantly, and his head rolled to the side.

Gao Yao took advantage of the momentum and leaped onto the city wall like a flying bird. As soon as he stood firm, he reached out and grabbed another Chu soldier beside him, then swung his arm violently and threw him far away like a sandbag.

At this moment, Gao Yao, who had cultivated to the eleventh level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, exuded a powerful aura that attracted people's attention. His terrifying power was comparable to that of Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu! The Chu army that Gao Yao casually threw out drew an arc in the air and fell heavily into the crowd. In an instant, seven or eight soldiers were knocked to the ground before they could dodge.

Gao Yao did not stop his fierce attack. He rushed into the Chu army camp, which was surging like a tide, holding a sharp sword. As he moved quickly, the sword flashed, accompanied by bursts of shrill screams. Wherever he passed, there was a bloody mess and broken limbs. The scene was horrible.

In less than a minute, Gao Yao had already raised his sword and mercilessly killed more than ten Chu soldiers. His brave performance frightened the surrounding Chu soldiers. Looking at this man who looked like a killing god, they couldn't help but feel a deep fear in their hearts. They subconsciously began to retreat and dared not easily step forward to fight him.

However, the Chu army, whose attention was completely drawn to Gao Yao, did not realize that while they were entangled with Gao Yao, more and more Southern Border Army soldiers took the opportunity to quietly climb up the city wall. In just a moment's delay, more than 30 Southern Border Army soldiers followed Gao Yao and successfully climbed up the city wall, and quickly gained a foothold, preparing to launch further attacks on the Chu army on the city wall.

At this moment, Xiang Zhuang, who was not far away, caught the situation with his sharp eyes. He frowned, knowing that the situation was urgent. Without any hesitation, he waved his hand and led his elite soldiers to charge in like a storm.

Xiang Zhuang knew that the situation was critical. If he could not quickly repel the Southern Border Army, Wushang County would be doomed. Once the Southern Border Army successfully occupied Wushang County, it would be like planting a fatal nail in Kuaiji County. What was even more terrifying was that the enemy could dispatch more troops from the coastal areas at any time, and Kuaiji County would be in danger.

Xiang Zhuang led the way and rushed forward, shouting angrily, "Who are the enemy generals? Do you recognize me, Xiang Zhuang?" His voice was like a bell, resounding through the sky. His purpose was self-evident, he wanted to use this prestige to intimidate the enemy general Gao Yao. However, facing Xiang Zhuang's roar, Gao Yao just twitched his mouth slightly, secretly disdainful in his heart.

In Gao Yao's opinion, if the person who shouted these words was Long Ju, Ying Bu, or even Ji Bu, he might be more cautious. After all, these people are all famous and powerful generals, and their names are enough to scare people. But for Xiang Zhuang, although he does have some ability, it is simply a pipe dream to want to scare people with just a name. It is still too far away!

"Die!" At this moment, Gao Yao was like a god of death, swinging his sword, bringing with it sharp sword lights, and ruthlessly killed two Chu soldiers again. His eyes were cold and resolute, and he rushed towards Xiang Zhuang without hesitation.

Gao Yao knew Xiang Zhuang very well, and it was a pipe dream to recruit him. In this case, there was no need to show mercy!

"Ding..." A crisp collision sound resounded across the battlefield, and the next moment, Gao Yao and Xiang Zhuang's weapons suddenly collided with each other. In an instant, sparks flew and energy overflowed.

Xiang Zhuang's expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. Because just at that moment, he clearly felt the terrifying force coming from Gao Yao's sword. With just one collision, the weapon in his hand was cut into two pieces by Gao Yao!

"Bang..." Before Xiang Zhuang could come to his senses, Gao Yao kicked him hard again. This kick was extremely fast and powerful, hitting Xiang Zhuang's body like a bolt of lightning.

"Crack" followed by a horrifying sound of breaking bones, and Xiang Zhuang's body flew backwards uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string, and finally hit the wall beside him heavily.

The huge impact force caused many cracks to appear on the old wall in an instant, and gravel and dust flew everywhere, showing how powerful Gao Yao's kick was. Xiang Zhuang collapsed to the ground, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, staining the ground in front of him red.

Not only that, even the people around could clearly hear the sound of bones breaking in Xiang Zhuang's body when Gao Yao kicked him. At this moment, Xiang Zhuang was almost unconscious. He was obviously seriously injured and it was uncertain whether he could survive.
