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

The meeting room.

As Yanagida stood up to oppose, the generals present became bolder.

Someone immediately stood up and agreed, "Yes, we have the same strength. If we go out of the city to fight now, we will definitely be defeated!"

"Prince of Chu, don't think that just because His Majesty has entrusted you with the battle here, you can ignore the lives of our soldiers."

"Yes, it is not easy for our army to gather 100,000 elite soldiers. How can we easily go out of the city to fight?"

"I am the last elite of our dynasty. I cannot afford to lose any of my troops. Prince Chu, please think twice."

No one wanted to go out of the city to fight.

Defeat in the war is a small matter; losing Feihe City, suffering heavy casualties, and the empress's punishment are big matters.

They were not afraid of sacrifice or fighting, but they were afraid that after they were defeated, the Qin army would march straight in and make the people of Zhou Dynasty live in misery.

The Zhou Dynasty was the place where they were born and raised, and they would never allow anyone to enter the Zhou Dynasty!

Even though Chu Ning was carrying out the empress's orders and could mobilize them, they would not easily compromise at this moment.

Chu Ning looked at the excited crowd, his face showed no shock or anger, but rather calmness.

He didn't say anything, just stared at everyone quietly.

He is waiting.

Wait for these people to calm down on their own.

Sometimes, speaking is authoritative.

But sometimes, not speaking is more threatening!

Sure enough, after a while, the people who were still arguing saw that Chu Ning didn't speak, realized that the atmosphere was wrong, and stopped.

In the quiet hall, everyone fixed their eyes on Chu Ning. They wanted Chu Ning to give them an explanation.

But Chu Ning slowly stood up and said calmly: "Generals, I know what you are thinking and what you are worried about.

However, I am here. Do you think I can escape alone after losing this battle?

Or maybe, you want me to go into battle with you before you dare to fight the Qin army?

If so, I am willing to fight against the Qin army together with all the generals!

Come, bring me my weapons!"

At the command, two white horse soldiers holding white spears came in from outside the hall.

They walked through the passage between the generals, came in front of Chu Ning, and respectfully handed him the spear.

Chu Ning stretched out his right hand, grasped the spear, his aura suddenly exploded, and his eyes became sharp in an instant.

He raised his eyes to look at the generals and said in a cold voice: "Everyone, if you still have the courage to be a general, then take your people and follow me out of the city to fight the Qin army!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his sleeves, flashed, and ran out of the hall.

Zhao Yu followed with the white horse soldiers.

The generals looked at each other, with horror and surprise flashing in their eyes.

None of them expected that Chu Ning would be willing to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight.

I thought Chu Ning wanted them to die.

But now Chu Ning himself is going out of the city to fight, so he is not asking them to die.

Otherwise, how would Chu Ning dare to leave the city?

For a moment, the generals were in a dilemma.

If they don't go, it will show that they have no courage.

What's more, Chu Ning, the crown prince of Chu, was willing to fight to the death with the Qin army for the Zhou Dynasty. If they, as generals of the Zhou Dynasty, were not brave enough to fight, wouldn't it be laughable when the news got out?

But if they followed Chu Ning out of the city to fight, they would have no confidence and no chance of winning.

If he was defeated in the war, his personal life and death would be a small matter, but the great matter would be the destruction of the Zhou Dynasty.

For a moment, the generals were talking about it.

"General Wang, what do you think about this?"

"Of course I am willing to go out of the city and fight to the death, but I wonder what the other generals think?"

"As the crown prince of Chu, he dared to go out of the city to fight. This place is our territory, why should we not dare?"

"Humph, that's right. If we are outdone by the Crown Prince of Chu, how can we live in this world with dignity?"

"Generals, there is no need to do this. Please let General Liu make the decision."

In the end, everyone turned their eyes to Yanagida.

As the garrison here, with 30,000 troops under his command, his power here is limited to Chu Ning.

Even Xue Huaide, who is a great general, does not have as much say as Liu Tian here.

In the past few days, Xue Huaide has been inspecting the defense and was deliberately transferred away by Chu Ning and did not participate in the meeting.

Of course, this is also to avoid disagreements between Xue Huaide and Yanagita.

Or maybe he didn't want Xue Huaide and Yanagida to join forces.

In short, Xue Huaide is not here today, so many things need to be asked to Liu Tian.

At this moment, Yanagida frowned and looked embarrassed.

"Generals, if Chu Ning really dares to go out of the city to fight, I respect him as a man and am willing to fight alongside him!"

Liu Tian said in a deep voice: "However, if he is just pretending, then we don't have to obey his orders."

After a pause, he added: "For such a major event, we need to ask the general to come and take charge!"

"I will go and invite the general in person!" A general responded and immediately went down to invite him.

Afterwards, Liu Tian led the generals to follow Chu Ning's pace.

Xue Huaide, who received the news, rushed to the city wall as soon as possible.

The city walls are towering, flags are waving, spears are standing in rows, and the security is strict.

The Zhou army defended the city walls tightly, with rolling stones, huge logs and many flammable materials everywhere to prevent the Qin army from attacking at any time.

On the main gate wall, Chu Ning held a spear in his hand, looking majestic and awe-inspiring, staring coldly at the Qin army camp outside the city.

Xue Huaide and Liu Tian's generals arrived at the same time after receiving the news, bowed and saluted: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chu!"

Chu Ning didn't even turn his head, pointed his spear at the Qin army camp, and said with a smile:

"Generals, remember the Qin army camp in front of you, because it will become the Qin army's nightmare from now on."

After the boast, Xue Huaide, who already knew that Chu Ning wanted to go out of the city to fight, couldn't help but ask in a deep voice:

"May I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chu, what ingenious plan do you have to take down the Qin army camp?"

Chu Ning grinned and said, "Nothing special, just the human wave tactic!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the generals changed drastically.

Human wave tactics?

The Qin army also had an army of 100,000, and their human wave tactics had no effect on them at all.

Even Xue Huaide, who had complete faith in Chu Ning, was stunned.

"This... the troops are the same, so how can there be a human wave tactic?" Xue Huaide asked in surprise.

"Same number of troops?"

Chu Ning chuckled and said, "I wonder how General Xue learned that the Qin army outside the city has the same strength as ours?"

Xue Huaide was not a fool. This rhetorical question made him realize that something had happened in the Qin army outside the city!

His eyes lit up, and Xue Huaide couldn't wait to ask, "Is there not a hundred thousand Qin troops outside the city?"

Chu Ning laughed loudly: "Yes, I have received accurate information that there are only 50,000 Qin troops outside the city!"

"Besides, you generals should still remember that the last time we tried to attack, the Qin army only sent out 10,000 people to deal with it!"

"If they really have 100,000 men, they will definitely launch a fierce attack after our army shows signs of defeat."

"But they didn't. Instead, they allowed my cavalry of only a thousand men to rescue them. This is enough to prove that they don't have as many troops as they appear to have."

"So, I will go out of the city with you guys today to fight and try to defeat this Qin army in one fell swoop!"
