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

"Your Majesty, it's bad, the enemy cavalry is catching up!"

Zhao Yu roared angrily, shocking Ying Zheng's personal guards so much that their faces changed drastically.

Although they were also cavalry, they had launched a surprise attack overnight and were exhausted and a little tired at this moment.

On the other hand, although the White Horse Cavalry also charged several times, they were well rested and their horses were full of energy.

In addition, these are carefully selected war horses, and their physical strength is better than that of the superior war horses.

At this moment, under the constant urging of the White Horse Cavalry, the speed of the White Horse reached its maximum.

Although the Qin army was still trying to block them, they were unable to stop their speed.

Such a powerful cavalry charge is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, regardless of whether it is the infantry or the shield bearers.

What's more, the Chu army inside and outside the city was also launching a fierce attack at this moment, and the Qin army did not have many people that could be sent to rescue Ying Zheng.

Under such circumstances, Ying Zheng's situation was precarious.

Ying Zheng rode his horse while looking back. Seeing the white cavalry getting closer and closer, his face changed drastically.

With the combat effectiveness of the White Horse Cavalry, if he was caught up by this group of people, he would definitely not be able to escape.

"Zhang... Zhang Xiang, what should we do now?"

There was a trembling tone in Ying Zheng's voice as he spoke; he was truly panicked.

If he died here, the Chu army could completely ignore Princess Changping and march straight into the heart of Qin.

So, he must not die.

Zhang Yi's face looked a little ugly at the moment. He certainly knew that the situation was not favorable now. If he didn't find a way to protect Ying Zheng, he might die here.

The reason is very simple. Once Ying Zheng dies, the morale of the Qin army will definitely drop, and the Chu army will attack in one go.

If no method is found to resolve this issue, the Chu army will most likely be wiped out today.

Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes, and a ruthless look flashed across his eyes: "Your Majesty, at this moment, we can only think of a way to lure away Zhao Yu's white horse cavalry!"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up: "What do you think, Prime Minister Zhang?"

Zhang Yi took a look at the purple cape and golden helmet on Ying Zheng and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please take off the cape and helmet and give them to someone of the same height as you, and have him pretend to be you to lead away the enemy cavalry."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ying Zheng's face changed drastically.

As an emperor, how could he give away his things to others casually?

If this matter gets out, it will damage his reputation.

"Prime Minister Zhang, is there no other way?" Ying Zheng was very reluctant and his face looked very ugly.

Zhang Yi's mouth twitched.

It's already this time, and you're still thinking about preserving your reputation?

My life is almost gone, what’s the point of fame?

"His Majesty!"

Zhang Yi said solemnly: "Compared with reputation and annihilation of the army, which is more important? I believe you should be able to tell the difference."

"If we hesitate any longer, we will have no chance of survival once the White Horse Cavalry catches up with us."

These words shocked Ying Zheng's heart.

Yes, if I die at this time, what is the point of fame?

His life is about to end, so even if he has fame, he won’t be able to hear it.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng took off his helmet and cloak without saying a word.

Zhang Yi made a prompt decision: "Come here, block the enemy's line of sight!"

The galloping cavalry immediately gathered together, making it impossible for the white horse cavalry behind to see the situation of Ying Zheng in front at all.

Soon, Ying Zheng handed the helmet and cloak to a bodyguard of the royal guard who was of similar build to him.

After the guard was dressed, Zhang Yi gave the order: "Split the guards into two, with the dragon flag facing the left!"

At the command, the personal guards quickly split into two teams.

Zhao Yu, who was chasing behind, frowned when he saw this.

At this time, a cavalryman asked: "General, the enemy troops are divided, which one should we chase?"

Zhao Yu looked towards the Qin army's personal guards and saw that the Qin army's dragon flag was heading to the left, but the personal guards on the right had more soldiers.

Zhao Yu groaned for a moment, pointed his spear at the dragon banner that symbolized the Great Qin Emperor, and said in a deep voice:

"Although there are many Qin troops on the right, it must be deliberately arranged by the enemy to lure us to pursue them!"

"Although there are fewer soldiers on the left, the Qin army's dragon flag is there, which means Ying Zheng is also there!"

"Send the order, chase after the Qin army's dragon banner!"

At the command, the white horse cavalry chased to the left.

At this time, the battle situation in the four directions of Yu Cheng also changed.

When the Qin troops at the four city gates learned that the emperor was surrounded, they had no desire to fight and retreated while fighting.

The Chu army was in high spirits and rushed out of the city in pursuit.

For a time, the two armies, which were supposed to be evenly matched, experienced changes because Ying Zheng was surrounded.

The morale of the Qin army was low and they were defeated more and more.

On the other hand, the Chu army, with high morale, rushed out of the city and defeated the Qin army.

Even the Chu army stationed on the city wall could not hold back. They drew their bows and arrows and shot continuously at the Qin army outside the city.

The already defeated Qin army suddenly found it difficult to resist, and the leading generals could only gather their troops and retreat in an orderly manner.

But the Chu army would not miss this opportunity and would chase them all the way.

And these battle reports were reported to Chu Ning half an hour later.

On a hillside outside the city.

Chu Ning stood on his horse, looking at the battlefield that had changed, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Regardless of whether Ying Zheng was killed in this battle, the Qin army was no longer a force to be reckoned with.

While he was deep in thought, a cavalryman came to report: "Your Highness, the enemy troops in the east of the city are retreating, and our army is pursuing them!"

Chu Ning nodded slightly and said with a smile: "With General Feng in command, I don't have to worry too much about the situation in the city."

Soon after, spies were sent from the west and north of the city to report on the battle situation.

The situation on these two sides was similar to that in the east of the city. The Qin army had been repelled and was being pursued.

Only on the front battlefield south of the city, Guan Yun was still leading his troops in fierce battle.

After all, this side is the main force protecting Ying Zheng. This Qin army is very powerful and will fight to the death.

The Chu army's strength is almost the same as that of the enemy, and the two sides are currently fighting fiercely.

Under such circumstances, Guan Yun would naturally not send anyone to report.

But Chu Ning was right here and could see the battle situation in the south of the city at a glance.

"The combat effectiveness of the Qin army should not be underestimated!"

Chu Ning murmured to himself: "Fortunately, I did not rashly lead the army to attack Hecheng, otherwise there would be heavy casualties."

After this battle, he finally witnessed the combat effectiveness of the Qin army.

If they attack the city, the Chu army will definitely find it difficult to capture the Qin city!

While he was deep in thought, Zhao Yu had already led the White Horse Cavalry to chase the personal guards for more than ten miles.

Seeing the dragon flag right in front, and there was also a man wearing a golden helmet and a purple robe, it was obviously Ying Zheng's outfit!

"Kill! Ying Zheng is right in front of us!"

Zhao Yu was extremely excited and rode his horse forward to charge.

The opportunity to achieve great things was right before his eyes, so how could he let it go? He rode his horse alone into the Qin army camp and even challenged several of his personal soldiers.

Seeing that the man in the golden helmet was right in front of him, Zhao Yu laughed and stabbed him with his spear!

The man swung his sword back!

"Qiang!"

The sharp sword was blocked by the spear, and then Zhao Yu shot through the man's back with a spear, and the man fell off his horse.

Zhao Yu rode his horse forward and went forward to check excitedly.

What came into view was a young face!

This is not Ying Zheng at all!

Zhao Yu suddenly felt cold all over, he knew he had fallen into a trap!

Ying Zheng, escaped!
