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

"Your Highness, it's bad, there are cavalry rushing towards us from all directions!"

on the official road.

The stopped Wei cavalry noticed that there were cavalry on all sides, their faces changed drastically, and they immediately reported to Cao Zhang.

In fact, even though they didn't say anything, Cao Zhang also heard the noise.

"I am not deaf or blind, how can I not see it!"

Cao Zhang snorted coldly and made a prompt decision: "Form a defensive formation and see who is coming first!"

After all, this is the territory of Wei State. He doesn't believe that anyone would dare to take action here. He even thinks that it might be one of their own people.

But just in case, he ordered the cavalry to form a defensive formation.

At the command, three hundred Wei cavalrymen formed a huge circle to protect Cao Zhang and Guo Xiao.

The cavalry rushing towards them from all directions soon appeared in front of them, but strangely, these people were not wearing armor. Instead, they were all wearing black night clothes and face coverings.

"Your Highness, judging from their attire, they don't look like our people. We must strike first!"

Guo Xiao sensed that something was wrong and said in a deep voice: "We don't know how many enemies there are, nor do we know their purpose. We need to stop them from advancing!"

Cao Zhang nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Humph, no matter who they are, I will make sure they never return!"

"Come here, shoot the arrow!"

At the command, the Wei cavalry drew their bows and arrows and shot at the masked cavalry charging at them.

But the raiding cavalry seemed to have anticipated this and stopped within an arrow's reach. After the first round of arrows, they immediately charged forward.

At the same time, their companions behind them also drew their bows and arrows and shot towards the Wei army camp.

There was actually a time difference!

This scene made Cao Zhang's face change drastically: "Not good, he is well prepared, defend!"

The Wei cavalry raised their shields to resist.

But Guo Xiao's face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Your Highness, we must use the advantage of cavalry to rush out, we can't fight the enemy here!"

They are also cavalry. If they just defend themselves, they will be scattered once the enemy cavalry rushes over.

Cao Zhang came to his senses and slapped his forehead, shouting: "The front team charges, the rear team defends!"

At the order, the Wei cavalry split into two, one team charged and the other team stayed in place to protect Cao Zhang and Guo Xiao.

"Kill!"

"Come on!"

The Wei cavalry charged, shouting loudly. They wanted to protect Cao Zhang and Guo Xiao, so they had to fight to the death.

At this moment they had no choice but to fight to the death.

The group of cavalrymen who rushed up were no less powerful. They continued to charge towards the Wei army with angry shouts.

For a time, the two sides fought fiercely.

But as soon as the fight started, the Wei army discovered that something was wrong. It turned out that these people did not understand battle formations, but their individual combat capabilities were very strong.

But now that the two sides are intertwined, it will be difficult for them to organize a battle formation.

The two cavalry units were fighting in the field, which made Guo Xiao, who was standing behind them, terrified.

"These...those people are not soldiers, but some masters!"

As he spoke, perhaps because he was too excited, he started coughing.

Cao Zhang also realized that something was wrong at this moment, and said in a deep voice: "Who are these people? How dare they attack us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, masked cavalrymen from three other directions rushed over.

However, they did not charge like cavalry, but instead used their lightness skills to break into the Wei army's formation after getting close.

These people were extremely powerful in combat, and every move they made was deadly. For a while, they made the Wei army scream in pain.

The defense that had just been put together suddenly collapsed.

Guo Xiao realized that something was wrong and quickly shouted, "Your Highness, something is wrong. These people are all experts. You should lead them to break through. I... ahem, I will lead the others to cover your retreat."

In order to arrive as quickly as possible this time, they only brought 300 cavalrymen, which was not a large number.

After all, none of them had expected that someone would attack them within the territory of Wei.

But the number of the men in black before them was at least 500, and they were all highly skilled in martial arts, making them impossible to resist.

The only option now is to let Cao Zhang leave first.

Cao Zhang realized the seriousness of the matter, and his eyes turned cold, with a hint of cruelty flashing across them:

"Prime Minister, hold on, I will go get help to save you!"

"Personal Guards, follow me out!"

If he hesitated any longer, his life would be gone. Cao Zhang naturally didn't want to die here, so he immediately led his personal guards to charge outside.

Although the masked man had excellent martial arts skills, he had no battle formation after all, and was quickly rushed out by Cao Zhang and his men.

But in the process, most of Cao Zhang's personal guards were killed, leaving only more than 20 people riding horses and following him towards Liuye City.

Only after he broke out of the encirclement did Cao Zhang turn around to look at the battle situation in the distance.

At this moment, the Wei army had been compressed together and the number of soldiers was constantly decreasing.

Cao Zhang gritted his teeth and roared, "Prime Minister Guo, you must hold on!"

"Quick, go to Willow City!"

"drive!"

Everyone rode their horses madly towards Liuye City.

Now they knew very well that if they delayed any time, Guo Xiao would most likely die here.

Soon, a group of more than twenty people rode their horses and galloped ten miles in one breath.

The wide official road gradually became smaller, and trees and bamboo forests slowly emerged on both sides, and they entered a small path.

As soon as he entered this place, Cao Zhang keenly realized that something was wrong.

"Stop!"

Cao Zhang's face changed drastically, he turned his head and stared at the woods, and said in surprise: "We made such a big noise, but no birds flew out of the woods."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

At this moment, a whistling sound was heard in the woods.

"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Dozens of sharp arrows suddenly shot out.

"No, there's an ambush!"

"Come on!"

Cao Zhang realized that something was wrong and immediately rode his horse to charge.

But the guards behind were a little slower and were immediately shot to death by sharp arrows.

Only a dozen people were left and they followed Cao Zhang and rushed forward on horseback.

But just when everyone thought they had broken out of the encirclement, Cao Zhang, who was at the front, suddenly felt weak and his horse fell headfirst.

"No, there's a trap!"

Cao Zhang roared angrily and slapped the warhorse, knocking it off, and used the force to jump out of the trap.

But the three bodyguards behind him were in trouble and rushed in directly.

At the same time, more than a dozen men in black rushed out of the woods and launched a fierce attack on Cao Zhang's personal soldiers.

In just a blink of an eye, all eight cavalrymen were killed in the battle, leaving only Cao Zhang struggling to hold on.

Facing the siege of more than a dozen masters in black, Cao Zhang showed no fear at all. He roared angrily and swung his knife rapidly in his hand.

Five black-clad masters were killed by this man in an instant!

Seeing this, the others retreated.

Just as Cao Zhang was surprised, several huge nets flew out of the woods. Cao Zhang swung the long sword in his hand and chopped three of them in a row, but was covered by the last one.

Just when he was about to get away, a sharp arrow whistled towards him from the woods.

Although Cao Zhang rolled on the ground and avoided many sharp arrows, he was still hit by several arrows.

Immediately afterwards, the man in black who had just retreated rushed up again and launched a fierce attack on the seriously injured Cao Zhang.

Even though Cao Zhang was brave, he could not resist when his body was caught in the net and he was hit by several arrows.

In the end, he was killed by everyone, and even his head was chopped off!

After doing all this, the man in black quickly left with the bodies of his companions without even cleaning up the battlefield.
