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

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

As the three signal arrows were launched into the air, the Chu army, which had been trapped in the city, actually fought back.

At the same time, outside the south of the city, Zhao Yu led the cavalry to charge.

The Qin army, which was still heading towards the city, was caught off guard and fell into chaos in an instant.

All their focus was on the city, and they never expected that there would be Chu cavalry behind them.

"Kill!"

"Come on!"

After a round of musket fire, the White Horse Cavalry took advantage of the situation and charged into the chaotic Qin army.

Ying Zheng, who had already entered the city, received news that shocked him!

A soldier in the city came to report: "Your Majesty, it's bad. Our troops entering the city were ambushed by the Chu army on the street. We suffered heavy losses and are retreating!"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "It's just an ambush, why should we be afraid? Now that the Chu army is defeated, we can only use this method!"

"As long as our army strengthens its forces, we can break through the enemy's defenses."

But the soldier shook his head quickly: "Your Majesty, that's not the case. The Chu army has a large number of soldiers and horses, and they are already heading towards us!"

Zhang Yi sensed something was wrong when he heard this, and hurried forward to ask, "Hasn't the enemy been repelled? Why are they still organizing troops to ambush our army now?"

The soldier looked confused: "This... I don't know."

At this moment, another soldier rode in from outside the city and reported: "Your Majesty, it's bad, the Chu cavalry appeared behind us!"

Ying Zheng's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He rushed forward, grabbed the man by the collar, and asked in a cold voice:

"Tell me clearly, how many cavalrymen are there in the Chu army?"

“About a few thousand.”

Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

There are only a few thousand people, and his troops can definitely stop them.

"Humph, a mere few thousand people scared you like this!"

Ying Zheng pushed the man away and said, "Send a message to the rear army to destroy the Chu cavalry!"

"All troops, advance with all your strength, and we must capture Yucheng."

There are only a few thousand cavalry outside the city. The Qin army has so many soldiers and horses that even if they can't stop them, they can at least delay them.

As long as he occupied Yucheng, he would have time to deal with the Chu cavalry.

But Zhang Yi said cautiously at this moment: "Your Majesty, today's events are a little strange, so don't rush into anything."

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, a look of displeasure appearing on his face.

Now that he was about to occupy Yucheng, Zhang Yi was persuading him at this moment.

But no matter how unhappy he was, he actually noticed that there was something strange about the Chu army today, and their fighting strength was not the same as before.

He turned around patiently and looked at Zhang Yi, asking, "What do you think, Prime Minister Zhang?"

Zhang Yi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you may as well send troops into the city to test the situation first, and at the same time send people to check the conditions of the other three city gates."

"This way, our army won't be alone and deep in the city, and will not be surrounded by the Chu army."

When these words were spoken, Ying Zheng felt a sudden shock in his heart for some unknown reason.

Chu Ning has always been a cunning guy. Could it be that he wants to give him a hard time before leaving?

If he was really surrounded in the city, he would be in big trouble.

Being surrounded outside the city, with the forces of both sides being almost equal, he would definitely be able to break out.

But if you are surrounded in the city, it will be difficult to break out.

If the opponent was someone else, he would definitely not be so cautious, but this time the opponent was Chu Ning, so he had to be cautious.

Because he had lost to Chu Ning several times.

Although he was not convinced in his heart, he had to admit that Chu Ning was indeed very powerful.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng took a deep breath and nodded, "Prime Minister Zhang is right!"

"Pass the order, General Zhou will personally lead the army to defeat the ambushed Chu army!"

"Send an order, mobilize some archers to the rear to block the Chu cavalry!"

"Send a message, immediately find out the news about the other three city gates!"

As the three orders were issued, Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to enter the city, but stayed at the city gate.

As a result, the Qin army outside the city could not do the same and could only set up a defensive formation at the city gate to prevent the Chu cavalry outside the city from advancing.

Half a quarter of an hour after these three orders were issued, Chu Ning outside the city was looking into the distance.

Looking at the Qin army arrayed at the city gate, Chu Ning sighed: "It seems that it is not easy to destroy the Qin army in one battle!"

I had planned to do something bad to Ying Zheng before leaving, but I didn't expect Ying Zheng to stop after entering the city.

There are many capable people in the Qin State. Zhang Yi is right next to Ying Zheng at this moment. Even if Ying Zheng tries his best to take revenge, with Zhang Yi around, he can still persuade Ying Zheng.

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, and a ruthless look flashed across his eyes: "No matter what, this pot of half-cooked rice must be eaten!"

"Pass the order, all troops attack!"

The plan that has been made cannot be stopped because of Ying Zheng.

The small-scale fighting at the beginning was just to lure the Qin army into the city.

The goal has been achieved, and the next step is to do our best to encircle and kill Ying Zheng and the Qin army.

Regardless of whether he can kill Ying Zheng or not, he will make the Qin army suffer this time.

With one order, the war changed again.

All the hidden forces of the Chu army rushed out, and in a short time they actually defeated the Qin soldiers who were attacking the other three city gates and forced them to retreat.

At the same time, the Chu army was also shouting: "Ying Zheng is besieged in the south of the city!"

The Qin army, which had already been defeated, was shocked when they heard this and lost all their fighting spirit.

Upon hearing this, the three generals commanding the siege dared not stay any longer and each sent a troop to the south of the city.

At the same time, the Qin army in the south of the city was also defeated continuously by the troops led by Guan Yun.

At this moment, Ying Zheng finally received the news.

"Your Majesty, it's bad, the Chu army is coming to attack us from the city!"

Qin general Zhou Hao came to report with a terrified face: "Your Majesty, please leave quickly!"

Ying Zheng's face suddenly darkened: "Why can't you stop the Chu army's attack? You can even capture the city wall, but you can't stop the Chu army, you..."

Before he could finish his words, the sound of horse hooves came from behind him: "Report!"

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. The Chu army has launched a counterattack in the east of the city, and our army has been repelled!"

Ying Zheng was shocked and just as he turned around to ask, another soldier rode up and reported:

"Your Majesty, the enemy troops in the west of the city are counterattacking, and our army has been defeated!"

Ying Zheng's anxious heart finally died completely.

He knew that he had no chance of winning this battle.

The situation in the east and west of the city is the same, and the north must be no exception.

Sure enough, a moment later, another soldier came to report: "Your Majesty, it's bad. The enemy troops in the west of the city launched a fierce attack. Our army can't hold on and has retreated from the city wall!"

As expected, progress at all three city gates was not smooth.

On this side, the Chu army also attacked under the leadership of Guan Yun.

Ying Zheng clenched his hands tightly, his eyes flashing with unwillingness, but he understood that he must not act on impulse at this moment.

Taking a deep breath and trying to calm himself down, Ying Zheng turned to look at Zhang Yi and asked:

"Prime Minister Zhang, our army is in a disadvantageous situation right now. Do you have any good plan?"
