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

A few days later, Feihe City.

On the city wall that was several feet high, Chu Ning, wearing armor, looked at the Qin army camp outside the city with a calm expression.

Standing aside were Zhao Yu and a general wearing Zhou army armor.

This man's name is Yanagida, and he is a general guarding the border here.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Chu, the Qin army arrived here three days ago, but they did not choose to attack the city."

Yanagida bowed and saluted, saying solemnly: "Due to the enemy's military strength, I dare not send troops to fight without authorization."

"Over the past few days, both sides have been at peace, and it's been relatively peaceful."

In such a big war, there are many things that he, a border general, cannot decide. If he makes a mistake, he will lose everything.

The peace in the past few days actually made Yanagida feel relieved.

At least he had saved Feihe City before Chu Ning came here, so he would not be responsible regardless of the outcome in the future.

Chu Ning looked at Liu An, who was full of caution, and nodded slightly: "After all, the Qin army has come from afar, it is impossible for them to attack the city as soon as they arrive."

"It stands to reason that we should rest for a few days before taking action. On the one hand, we should recuperate, and on the other hand, we should wait for their food and fodder to arrive."

"However, since I am here, there is no need to give them time to wait."

"Order to mobilize 10,000 soldiers and horses to leave the city and launch a tentative attack. I want to see the strength of the Qin army!"

Just as Zhao Yu was about to turn around and pass on the order, Liu Tian said anxiously: "This... If we rashly leave the city, I'm afraid the Qin army will seize the opportunity to counterattack. Please think twice, Prince of Chu!"

It would be best if both sides could live in peace. If a war breaks out now, in case of defeat, the Qin army might take the opportunity to attack the city.

If Feihe City is lost, the general guarding the place will also be responsible.

Not only did he not want to go out of the city to fight unless it was absolutely necessary, he only wanted to use the tall city walls to defend against the Qin army.

But Chu Ning snorted coldly when he heard this: "General Liu, the best defense is offense. If you just defend, the Qin army will find a flaw.

Besides, the Qin army has not made any moves yet. We don’t know what they are up to, so we must send out troops to test them.”

Liu Tian's face changed slightly, and he wanted to persuade her, but Chu Ning was full of impatience and waved his hand:

"Alright, Her Majesty, this battle is handed over to me. If anything goes wrong, I will be the only one responsible. Just do as you are told!"

"This..." Liu Tian's face changed, but he finally sighed, bowed and left.

Two quarters of an hour later, the city gate opened, and a team of 10,000 people rushed out of the city gate and headed straight for the Qin army camp outside the city.

The Qin army guarding the camp changed their expressions when they saw this and blew the horn immediately.

"Woo~wu~wu~"

As the huge horn sounded, the Qin army in the camp immediately swarmed out.

The mighty Qin army rushed out of the camp in an orderly manner and headed straight for the Zhou army.

Before the two sides fought, sharp arrows were shot out, and soldiers on both sides fell one after another under the whistling arrows.

"Kill!"

"Come on!"

Amid the deafening shouts of killing, soldiers on both sides brandished their weapons and fought frantically.

On the city wall, Chu Ning watched this scene coldly with no expression on his face.

On the side, Yanagida clenched his hands nervously, looking at the battlefield with worried eyes.

Seeing Liu Tian so nervous, Chu Ning couldn't help but ask, "General Liu doesn't seem to have confidence in our army?"

Liu Tian's face was full of bitterness: "The Qin army is recognized as the best army in the world. Although our Zhou Dynasty soldiers are also brave, they are still a little inferior to them.

It would be fine if this battle could be a draw, but if we lose, it will definitely affect our army's morale."

This man had some self-awareness and was not arrogant enough to think that the Zhou army could defeat the Qin army.

Judging from the tone of his words, he has already determined that this battle is doomed to fail.

Chu Ning couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this: "Even if General Liu doesn't trust your soldiers, he should trust me.

Don't worry, I'm here with you, even if you can't win, you won't be defeated either."

The solemn words left Yanagita speechless, and he lowered his head and remained silent.

What can be said?

Does that mean he doesn't believe Chu Ning?

The awe that the lower person has for the higher person made him dare not refute Chu Ning's words.

But based on his understanding of the Qin army's strength, he did not feel there was any hope of winning this battle.

There isn't even a chance of a tie.

While he was deep in thought, Zhao Yu pointed at the battlefield and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, they can't hold on any longer."

The battle had been going on for three quarters of an hour at this point, and the Zhou army on the right was already showing signs of instability.

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows, looked up, and found that there was a Qin army general over there, who was very fierce.

Relying on the sharp mace in his hand, he killed people in the crowd with great enthusiasm, and no one could match him.

Even if one person rushed into the encirclement of more than a dozen people, he was able to defeat the Zhou army, and the Qin army behind him took the opportunity to attack.

For a moment, the formation on the right was in chaos.

Of course, the situation in the other two directions was similar. The Qin generals led the troops and took the initiative to charge, making it difficult for the Zhou army to resist.

The Zhou army, which had been so aggressive, now showed signs of defeat.

And it has only been half an hour since the fight started.

In such a short time, the Zhou army couldn't resist!

Chu Ning's face suddenly looked a little ugly.

Although he knew that the Zhou army's combat effectiveness was not strong, he did not expect the opponent's combat effectiveness to be so weak.

This test also gave him a deeper understanding of the Zhou army's combat effectiveness.

He couldn't just watch the Zhou army outside the city being destroyed!

While thinking, Yanagida became anxious.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Chu, please let me lead the troops out of the city to support you. It may be too late if we are late!"

The soldiers outside the city are all the defenders of this place. If they are eaten up by the Qin army, his position as the defender will be over.

But Chu Ning shook his head and said calmly: "Don't worry, I have already dealt with it!"

"Zhao Yu, lead the white horse cavalry out of the city to provide support."

"General Liu, have your archers prepare. When the enemy comes after you, shoot them back with arrows."

At a command, Zhao Yu rushed out of the city with a thousand white horse cavalry.

Amid deafening shouts of death, they took the lead in rushing towards the right wing that was about to collapse.

The Qin army, which was originally feeling very proud of its overwhelming success, could not help but look up when they heard the sound of war horses.

When I looked up, I saw a dense array of pistols whizzing down.

Amid screams, many Qin soldiers were shot and killed.

Immediately, the horses' hooves came flying, accompanied by the silver-white light of the spears, catching the Qin army off guard.

Before they could react, their companion fell down.

"Oh no! It's the White Horse Cavalry of Chu!"

"Get out!"

Some people recognized the identity of the White Horse Cavalry and did not dare to move forward, so they retreated on their own initiative.

Zhao Yu led his cavalry in a fierce charge, dispersing the Qin army, and then led his troops to the central army to help.

He followed the same trick and quickly defeated the Qin army in three directions, giving the Zhou army a chance to catch its breath.

At this time, the sound of a gong was heard in the city.

The Zhou army breathed a sigh of relief and ran towards the city.

Zhao Yu led the White Horse Cavalry to cover the rear, resisting the Qin army's pursuit while retreating into the city.

When approaching the city gate, Liu Tian did not wait for Chu Ning's order and shouted, "Shoot arrows and force the Qin army to retreat!"

As arrows rained down, the Qin army outside the city dared not pursue and could only watch the Zhou army and the white horse cavalry retreat into the city.

Afterwards, the city gates were closed, leaving many corpses outside the city, witnessing this test battle.

Chu Ning's expression did not look good, and he said coldly: "Everyone follow me back to the meeting room!"
