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

On the march, a sudden oral order made Li Xing's face extremely gloomy.

Deputy General Zhou Min looked at Li Xing, whose face was gloomy, and keenly sensed his dissatisfaction.

Judging from the implication of his words, he probably doesn't want to follow the emperor's arrangements.

Shocked, Zhou Min quickly said, "General Li, please tell me what is wrong with this matter?"

Li Xing snorted coldly: "If this is a trap, how many people do you think Chu Ning will send?"

"This……"

Zhou Min thought for a moment and replied, "If I were Chu Ning and wanted to attack them by surprise, I would definitely send at least 30,000 people to ambush them!

Only in this way can we defeat our army at the lowest cost and fastest speed!"

Although he was a deputy general, his military talent far surpassed that of other generals.

Li Xing was very satisfied with the answer and nodded, "Since you can send out 30,000 men, why would Chu Ning send out a small number of troops to ambush?

If we really do as Your Majesty said and send out 10,000 cavalrymen to test the waters, I'm afraid it will be like throwing meat buns at a dog, and there will be no return!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Min's face suddenly became a little ugly.

He never doubted Li Xing's judgment, otherwise Li Xing would not have kept him by his side as his deputy general.

But the problem is that this is an order issued by the emperor. If it is not carried out, it would be a violation of the emperor's order.

Thinking of this, Zhou Min hurriedly persuaded: "General, this is the order of His Majesty..."

"Who said that I received orders from His Majesty?"

Li Xing sneered: "Send the message back and say that I will personally lead 50,000 troops to intercept the Chu army's transport team.

You take 50,000 soldiers and horses to set up camp here, and help me hold back His Majesty."

This is a feint to the east and attack in the west!

Zhou Min reacted and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "General, I have no problem delaying His Majesty for you, but His Majesty will definitely hold you accountable afterwards.

It would be fine if we can win this battle, but what if…"

At the end, Zhou Min didn't dare to continue.

He knew that Li Xing was a smart man and should be able to understand the meaning of his words.

If we win, the emperor will definitely not pursue the matter.

But if they lose the battle and are held accountable afterwards, Li Xing will definitely be ruined and may even become a scapegoat.

But Li Xin smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I will win this battle!"

"Not only must we defeat the Chu transport team and the Zhou Dynasty's supporting troops, but we must also seize Chu's weapons."

"I believe General Zhou should have heard that the weapons and armor of the Chu army are different from what we have. If we can get these magical weapons that can cut through iron like mud, our Great Qin will be able to sweep the world in the future!"

With such confidence, he is worthy of being the most outstanding general of the young generation of Qin State.

Zhou Min was envious but also a little worried: "General, our opponent this time is Chu Ning, we can't take him lightly."

The Qin army had been defeated by Chu Ning several times, and he was worried that this time would be the same.

But Li Xing was so confident now that he had to persuade him a few words.

But Li Xing smiled calmly: "When I was famous all over the world, Chu Ning was just an illegitimate child.

In this battle, I will let him know that his previous victory over our dynasty was just luck.

His good luck has come to an end after meeting me this time."

Zhou Min wanted to persuade him, but Li Xing waved his hand and said, "Okay, this matter is settled. I will leave 50,000 soldiers and horses for you. You will lead the army to Feihe City immediately.

Remember, you have to pretend to have an army of 100,000 to confuse the enemy!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the others and said loudly: "The cavalry and the vanguard will follow me and change the route to Dingjun Mountain!"

At the command, the mighty Qin army headed straight for Dingjun Mountain.

That was the only way for the Chu State to transport weapons to the Zhou Dynasty's front line. If they wanted to prevent these weapons from falling into the hands of the Zhou Dynasty, they could only intercept them at Dingjun Mountain.

Once we passed Dingjun Mountain, we would either be trapped in the city or restricted by the terrain and unable to deploy our entire army.

Although Dingjun Mountain is a high mountain, precisely because it is a high mountain, there is only one road through the middle.

By setting up an ambush here, the Chu transport team would be unable to pass.

Of course, if this was Chu Ning’s evil plan, he would definitely set up an ambush near Dingjun Mountain.

If the Qin army arrived earlier, they would be able to find out the surrounding situation and avoid being surrounded.

Although he brought 50,000 soldiers with him this time, it doesn't mean that Li Xing really looked down on Chu Ning.

Although he was full of contempt for Chu Ning, he was still very cautious when it came to a real fight.

The apparent contempt was just for the Qin army to see, letting the soldiers know that he did not take Chu Ning seriously at all, so as to boost morale.

As long as we can win the next battle and intercept the weapons supported by the State of Chu, we will definitely win this battle!

With the belief that they would win, Li Xing led his troops and rushed quickly towards Dingjun Mountain.

In order not to expose his whereabouts, he changed to marching at night and finding a hidden place to rest during the day.

At the same time, on a road leading to the front line, a Zhou Dynasty army was slowly advancing.

The winding line seemed endless and there was no way to see how many people there were.

And in the middle of the team, a group of cavalrymen wearing silver armor stood out.

In the middle there is a dragon banner with a big word "Chu" written on it!

There was a man under the banner, wearing a dragon robe and with a calm expression. Who else could it be but Chu Ning?

After confirming that Qin would send troops, he bid farewell to Wu Zhao and Wu Xiuning and led his army to the front line in Feihe City.

This city is a fortress defending the Qin army. The city walls are tall and large. As long as we hold this place, we can stop the Qin army.

But once this place is lost, the Qin army can march straight in.

The Qin army had only two ways to invade the Zhou Dynasty: either to capture Feihe City or to take a detour.

To this end, Chu Ning ordered to abandon all cities except Feihe City and concentrate troops to defend this city.

As long as Feihe City is in their hands, even if the Qin army takes a detour, their retreat and food supplies will be cut off.

Of course, Chu Ning believed that unless Li Xing was a fool, he would not choose to take a detour to attack the heartland of the Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, the purpose of his trip was to defend Feihe City and deplete the strength of the Qin army.

The horses' hooves clattered as they advanced through the flying dust.

Just then, a group of fast horses came.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chu!"

Xue Huaide, the great general of the Zhou Dynasty, rode his horse to Chu Ning and saluted: "We have received news from Feihe City that the Qin army has arrived ahead of our army.

However, they did not attack the city after setting up camp, seemingly waiting for the right opportunity."

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "They are really fast. Have you figured out how many people they are?"

Xue Huaide nodded slightly: "According to the information from our spies, the enemy army is very powerful, with about 100,000 people, which is consistent with the previous information."

The news that the Qin army sent out 100,000 troops came a long time ago, but no one saw it.

Now that they saw the Qin army really appear outside Feihe City, they were able to confirm the number of Qin troops.

Chu Ning sneered when he heard this: "One hundred thousand people, this time I will make sure they never come back!"

"Zhao Yu, send a message to Chen An, tell him to speed up the march and escort the weapons to Feihe City!"

In this fierce battle, weapons are the key!
