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

"Your Majesty, it's bad, a group of soldiers are rushing towards our army!"

Ying Zhengcai learned from Chu Ning the reason why he was not killed, and the soldiers nearby hurried over to report.

At the same time, Chu Ning also received the news: "Your Highness, there is a group of soldiers rushing over there. They seem to be cavalry, and there are quite a lot of them."

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows, a look of vigilance flashed across his face: "Send the order, defensive formation!"

It was such a dark night, and the fact that there were so many cavalrymen coming made him alert.

Although the Chu army also has cavalry here, their number is small!

Moreover, if their people dared to come, they would not go directly towards the Qin army, nor would they appear on the flank of the Qin army, but would appear behind them.

Most of the people who come are not their people.

Just as Chu Ning was making the arrangements, Ying Zheng on the opposite side seemed to have reacted and laughed wildly:

"The 20,000 cavalrymen I sent have arrived. They must be here!"

After the defeat in Yucheng and the killing of Bai Qi, he had already mobilized 20,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry to come to support!

Calculating the time, with the speed of the cavalry, after so many days, they should have arrived.

Sure enough, just as he finished speaking, the troop stopped not far from the Qin army. After revealing their identities, the leading general rode over on horseback.

This man was over seven feet tall. Although he was in his middle age, he had a resolute face and his eyes were full of wisdom.

He rode his horse alone to Ying Zheng, dismounted, and saluted: "General Wang Jian, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

The person who came was Wang Jian, the Great Qin General who was as famous as Bai Qi and was known as the Twin Pillars of the Empire.

This man's ability to command troops and his ability as a commander are not inferior to Bai Qi.

Bai Qi was killed in this battle, and Ying Zheng specially transferred this man here just to reverse the defeat!

"Hahahaha, General Wang arrived at the right time!"

Ying Zheng was overjoyed, and personally stepped forward to help Wang Jian up, saying loudly: "Chu Ning brought only a few hundred people to hunt me down, and now you have met him, it's great to capture him!"

After saying this, Wang Jian showed hesitation.

He turned around and glanced at the white horse cavalry who had formed a defense on the opposite side, and whispered:

"Your Majesty, our army has come from a long way and is exhausted. The enemy is the world-famous White Horse Cavalry. It will not be easy to defeat them."

Ying Zheng's expression suddenly turned ugly: "Why, can't you 20,000 people take them down?"

He couldn't believe that 20,000 cavalrymen were not sure of defeating just a few hundred cavalrymen.

Even if we just waste time, we can consume the opponent to death!

But Wang Jian said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, since Chu Ning dared to bring troops here, he must have been prepared."

"In today's battle, I have already told the defeated soldiers that since our army has been defeated, we should retreat to Hecheng as soon as possible to set up defenses."

He was worried that since Chu Ning was so calm, there must be someone behind him.

It would be fine if there was no fighting, the Qin army could maintain its formation.

But once the fighting started and the Qin army deployed their battle formation, once the Chu army's reinforcements arrived, they would definitely be torn apart by the other side.

If it were normal times, he would naturally not be afraid.

But now, he had been traveling with his cavalry for several days in a row, and they were already exhausted and their stomachs were growling with hunger, let alone fighting with the Chu army.

But Ying Zheng was not listening at all at the moment. He was immediately furious when he heard the words: "They only have 500 people. No matter how well they defend themselves, our cavalry can tear their formation apart!"

"Now, I order you to lead the army to attack immediately!"

Ying Zheng didn't want to miss the chance to kill Chu Ning.

Wang Jian's face suddenly became a little ugly, and he could only turn his head to look at Zhang Yi beside him.

Before he came here, he already knew that there was a scholar named Zhang Yi beside Ying Zheng, who had been appointed as prime minister.

Now he has no way to convince Ying Zheng, he can only hope that Zhang Yi can say a few words for him.

Fortunately, Zhang Yi did not lose his mind. Seeing that Ying Zheng insisted on fighting, he could not help but say deeply:

"Your Majesty, this place is not far from Yucheng. Chu Ning is so confident, I'm afraid he is deliberately trying to lure us into action!"

"It's getting dark now, and we don't know if there are any Chu troops around us. It's better to retreat first and make long-term plans."

Zhang Yi knew very well that Ying Zheng wanted to take down Chu Ning in order to save face.

But if we lose, we lose. If we continue to fight now, what if there is an ambush by the Chu army around?

In other words, if the Chu army received the news and rushed to support immediately, how should they respond?

Face is not as important as life!

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, a hint of hesitation appeared on Ying Zheng's face.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from behind the white horse cavalry, and a long dragon of torches approached this side quickly.

Wang Jian's face changed drastically: "Your Majesty, look, the Chu army is indeed ambushing!"

Ying Zheng looked up and his face suddenly turned pale. He thought to himself that Chu Ning was indeed cunning.

At the same time, he felt somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, Wang Jian did not obey his order, otherwise if the cavalry had been dispatched just now, once the formation was disrupted, they would have been broken through by the arriving Chu army.

While he was lost in thought, the cavalry in the distance quickly approached and came to the side of the White Horse Cavalry.

Zhao Yu and Ran Ming stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings, Your Highness!"

Chu Ning nodded slightly: "You came at the right time!"

He looked up at Ying Zheng in the distance and said calmly, "Ying Zheng, you want to fight me, right? My head is right here, come and take it!"

Ying Zheng's face suddenly turned pale and blue.

He really wanted to give the order to charge forward and kill Chu Ning in one go.

But he also understood that the cavalry on his side were exhausted, and he should be thankful that Chu Ning did not lead his troops to attack him, because there was no way he could defeat them.

The inner anger made Ying Zhen's face even gloomier.

Fortunately, Wang Jian on the side narrowed his eyes, looked up and looked at Chu Ning, and said coldly: "You are Chu Ning, the crown prince of Chu State. You are indeed a young hero!"

"However, this is our territory after all. If a fight really breaks out, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose!"

"Besides, your soldiers have been fighting for a whole day, so they must be exhausted, right?"

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

As expected of a top commander, he hit the nail on the head.

If it had been any other time, and the person who came was not Wang Jian, he would have ordered an attack long ago.

But now, no!

Firstly, the Chu army was indeed exhausted, and secondly, their numbers were indeed smaller than that of the Qin army.

If a fight really breaks out at this moment, it's hard to say who will win or lose.

What's more, Wang Jian in front of him is such a powerful person, which makes him even more afraid.

Moreover, he was about to leave this place. If he started a war now, the gains would outweigh the losses.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning looked at Wang Jian deeply and said, "You are very good. You are worthy of being as famous as Bai Qi!"

"However, if I can kill Bai Qi, I can also kill you!"

After saying that, Chu Ning waved his hand and said loudly: "Return to the city!"

But, just as everyone was leaving, Ying Zheng suddenly shouted:

"Chu Ning, for Changping's sake, I will give you a message for free."

"Once Changping arrives in the capital of Wei, I will ask the Emperor of Wei to hold a wedding for her and Cao Zhang immediately!"

Chu Ning humiliated him, so he humiliated him back in this way!

After saying this, Ying led his troops to retreat quickly amidst wild laughter.

At this moment, Chu Ning's face was extremely ashen.

He couldn't sit and watch his woman lying in the arms of another man!
