Rebirth of Xiang Yu: Starting from the Ambush from All Sides

History PhD student Gu Chen dies in a car crash and wakes up at Gaixia, having transmigrated into Xiang Yu on the verge of defeat. Surrounded by the songs of Chu, Yu Ji draws her sword to take her own life for love, but he stops her with one hand, vowing to break the ending written in the history books. Possessing both the Hegemon's peerless strength and a modern historian's perspective, Gu Chen sees through the flaws in the ten-sided ambush at a glance. He abandons the original route south and chooses the weak defensive line of Ying Bu's motley troops to the southwest, ordering eight hundred elite Jiangdong soldiers to muffle their mouths and wrap their horses' hooves, and break out light-equipped. Yu Ji, clad in armor and sword in hand, follows close by his side; Ji Bu and Xiang Zhuang set aside their will to die, and morale coalesces once more. The Han army's war drums thunder, and hundreds of thousands of torches form a fiery dragon pressing in step by step. Once the Hegemon was to die trapped at the Wu River; now Gu Chen halts his horse with spear leveled, pointing straight at the Huai River crossing, determined to carve a path to a comeback from a certain-death situation. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Rebirth of Xiang Yu: Starting from the Ambush from All Sides — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
