Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

As soon as Bai Qi died, the Qin army collapsed.

Chu Ning personally led his troops and defeated the Qin army in the east of the city.

However, he did not lead his troops in pursuit because the Qin army was too large and even if they were defeated, it would be a complete defeat.

What's more, the main force of the Qin army was not here, but at the other three city gates, so he quickly gathered his troops and attacked the other three city gates.

At this moment, the sky was already bright.

After a day of fighting, the Qin army at the three city gates was completely defeated.

An army of nearly 200,000 was defeated by the 120,000 Chu troops in just one day and one night!

The world's most powerful country suffered its first defeat.

"Pass the order, clean up the battlefield and minimize the damage!"

Chu Ning gave an order and then went back to the city to rest.

He was already injured, and had not had enough rest, so he was very tired at the moment.

What's more, the news from Ying Zheng has not been sent back yet, and he still has to wait for news from Ran Ming and others.

He slept until the next day, which was the morning of the third day after the war.

It was already past noon when Chu Ning finally woke up.

After lunch, Chu Ning summoned all the generals to discuss matters.

Half an hour later, in the living room.

All the generals gathered together, and unlike the sadness of the previous two days, everyone's faces showed excitement.

Only Ran Ming was sighing and looking unhappy.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

Chu Ning shouted and walked out of the side hall with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. All the generals bowed and saluted:

"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"You don't have to be polite!"

Chu Ning gestured with his hand and said with a smile: "Our army won a great victory in this battle, all thanks to your concerted efforts, otherwise we would not have defeated the Qin army so easily."

After a pause, he looked at Ran Ming who looked unhappy and asked, "General Ran Ming, why are you sulking?"

Ran Ming curled his lips; "Your Majesty, I was about to kill Ying Zheng, but I didn't expect Princess Changping to interfere."

"I was afraid of her relationship with you, so I didn't dare to kill her, but because of this, Ying Zheng escaped. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

After saying that, he actually fell to his knees with a thud.

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and a cold look flashed across his face: "Ying Zheng escaped?"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly turned cold.

But after a moment, Chu Ning suddenly frowned and asked, "Where is Princess Changping?"

Ran Ming lowered his head and whispered, "At that time, I hit her with an axe and then went after Ying Zheng. I didn't pay attention to Princess Changping's movements."

"But don't worry, Your Highness. I have shown mercy. That move will at most injure her. She won't be seriously injured."

Chu Ning glared at Ran Ming fiercely: "Why don't you take her down?"

"This……"

Ran Ming touched his huge bald head and said embarrassedly: "I was thinking about chasing Ying Zheng at that time, so I didn't care about Princess Changping."

If it were someone else, they would definitely take Princess Changping first.

But Ran Ming, this simple-minded man, only wanted to kill the Emperor of Qin and establish his own career, so he would never pay attention to Princess Changping.

Chu Ning was speechless.

If it were someone else, he would have scolded them at least.

But Ran Ming...

Forget it. With Ran Ming’s mind, I’m afraid he will never understand what the ways of the world are in this life.

Shaking his head, Chu Ning sighed: "Forget it, this matter is not your fault, get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Ran Ming stood up and returned to the train, not daring to speak anymore.

Then, Chu Ning turned to look at Su Tingmei and asked, "Mr. Su, is there any news about Princess Changping?"

Su Tingmei smiled bitterly and stood up: "Our people found that Ying was heading towards Hecheng, and perhaps Princess Changping was among them."

The implication was that they had no news about Princess Changping.

Chu Ning's face looked a little ugly.

He thought that if he won the battle, he could snatch Princess Changping from Ying Zheng, but he didn't expect the final result to be like this.

He really wanted to find Princess Changping and ask her why she attacked him and why she showed mercy?

In fact, he had no reaction or defense at that time, and Princess Changping's sword was enough to take his life.

It was just that Princess Changping showed mercy at the last moment, so the sword only damaged his skin, and the blood looked serious, but it did not hurt any vital parts.

He didn't understand why Princess Changping wanted to kill but then showed mercy?

He thought that after the battle, Princess Changping's doubts would be resolved, but now she hasn't been found, so he can't solve this doubt at all.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning's eyes turned cold: "Since we can't find Princess Changping, let's keep fighting!"

"Lord Feng, tell me about the casualties in this battle!"

As the commander-in-chief here and also the Minister of War, Feng Anguo was in charge of all the aftermath matters.

Hearing this, he immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, more than 60,000 Qin soldiers were killed or wounded in this battle, and the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses all retreated to Hecheng."

"Our army suffered about 15,000 casualties, but we received new food and supplies from the Qin army."

"In this battle, the enemy commander Bai Qi, deputy commander Sima Cuo, and the commander of the imperial guards Meng Zhi were all killed."

"However, the Qin army has already built an offensive in Hecheng and seems to be ready to continue fighting with our army."

When these words came out, everyone was very excited.

This was the army of the most powerful country in the world. In one battle, they killed more than 60,000 enemies. Together with the more than 10,000 killed before, the total was almost 80,000.

When has the Qin Dynasty ever suffered such a great loss!

More importantly, after this battle, they still had more than 100,000 soldiers left, which was almost the same in number as the Qin army.

The Qin army could no longer pose a threat to them in terms of troops and horses.

If they continue to fight at this trend, it won't be a dream for them to destroy the Qin State.

Because they all knew that Chu Ning had dispatched 50,000 cavalry to attack the heartland of Qin from another direction.

The Qin army would certainly be unable to resist being attacked from both sides.

Even Chu Ning couldn't help but nod slightly: "This battle can have such a result, all thanks to the efforts of all the generals. I will definitely commend you in the victory report."

Although it was a pity that he failed to recapture Princess Changping, the battle was won after all, and he didn't want to spoil everyone's fun at this time.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Everyone bowed in unison.

But at this time, Su Tingmei took the initiative to stand up and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, after this battle, our army needs to rest for a few days."

Chu Ning nodded slightly: "After all, our army has fought three consecutive fierce battles and really needs a rest. How about this, we will march into Hecheng in ten days!"

Su Tingmei breathed a sigh of relief.

What he feared most was that Chu Ning would be too ambitious and take the opportunity to continue fighting.

If they fight against the Qin army next, it will be a siege. If the soldiers do not have enough physical strength, they will not be able to attack the city wall at all, and will only lose troops in vain.

Fortunately, Chu Ning knew when to advance and retreat, and did not act rashly at this moment.

While thinking, Chu Ning suddenly narrowed his eyes and flashed a cold look: "Next, it's time to deal with the Qin internal response!"

"Humph, I never thought that he would become Qin's accomplice."

"If I hadn't faked my own death this time, his identity wouldn't have been exposed so easily!"

"Someone, bring that man up!"
