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

"Humph, I knew that Chu Ning was full of tricks!"

That night, on a high mountain slope, inside the Qin army camp.

Li Xing, who received the message from Wu Hao, had a gloomy face and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

Chu Ning would only give way after getting the silver, which clearly showed that he was worried that they would cheat.

But here's the problem!

What if Chu Ning got the silver but refused to give way? How would the Qin army respond?

What's more, after they leave, they will have to leave their war horses behind, which will leave them no chance to fight back.

This time, Chu Ning took everything they had into account, leaving him with no room for maneuver.

The general next to him was also filled with righteous indignation when he heard this. He frowned and said, "General Li, are we going to leave in disgrace like this?"

"Yes, General, it would be too shameful to go back like this!"

"That's right. I would rather die here than have Your Majesty cede territory and pay compensation for us!"

"If we continue to live in such a miserable way, how can we face your majesty and the people of Qin?"

As generals, they all have to save face.

They can accept defeat in battle, they can accept dying on the battlefield, but they cannot accept living in such a humiliating way.

Li Xing looked at the generals who were full of anger, his face gloomy, as if hesitating about something.

Seeing that something was going to happen, the generals immediately stepped forward to persuade him: "General Li, our army has already been defeated in this battle. If we go back like this, how can we explain to His Majesty?"

"Yes, why not take advantage of the fact that Zhou Jun is blindly careless and kill them by surprise."

"That's right. The Zhou army thinks we have surrendered, so they will definitely let down their guard. We just need to seize the opportunity and charge into their central army tent, which will surely cause them chaos."

"Yes, we just need to kill Chu Ning first. Without their commander, our army can turn defeat into victory."

They all believed that the main reason why the Zhou army was able to burst out with combat power far beyond the past was because of Chu Ning.

As long as Chu Ning is killed first, it will not only hit the morale of the Zhou army, but also cause chaos in the Zhou army.

At that time, they would rely on the speed of the cavalry to launch a charge, and it would only take three rounds of charge to defeat the Zhou army.

Even though the Zhou army had more men than them, as long as their war horses had not been handed over, they had a chance to turn defeat into victory.

Li Xing looked at the confident generals, and a strange look flashed in his eyes that no one could detect.

In fact, didn't he also want to turn defeat into victory and make a comeback?

But there are some things that he, as the commander, cannot say out loud.

Only when the generals below said it could he pretend to be "reluctant" and agree.

Now that all the generals had spoken in unison, he took a deep breath and pretended to be convinced, with a determined look on his face:

"My dear generals, why would I want to live in disgrace?"

"But this is His Majesty's order, and I have no choice but to do it!"

"However, what the generals said makes sense. If we go back like this, we will be cursed."

"So, this time, even if I risk being beheaded by His Majesty, I will fight the Zhou army with all my might."

When these words came out, all the generals were very excited.

"General Li, please give the order quickly!"

"Yes, we don't have much time, so we need to make arrangements in advance."

"This time, we must make Zhou Jun pay with blood!"

"Take advantage of the night, the Zhou army outside the camp can't see our army's movements, this is the time for our army to mobilize!"

The generals expressed their opinions, and they all hoped that the troops could be mobilized as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.

After all, tomorrow is the day Zhou Jun has to give way, and tonight is their last chance.

Li Xing narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, and a hint of cruelty flashed across his face: "If that's the case, then I won't be so hypocritical!"

"General Tang, you lead the cavalry behind the entire army. Tomorrow you can announce to the public that this is to facilitate the handing over of the war horses!"

"When the right opportunity comes, your rear troops will become the front troops and charge towards where Chu Ning is."

"I obey your orders!" A tall, bearded general bowed and saluted.

Li Xing did not stop his deployment of troops, and continued: "General Chen, you lead the infantry as the vanguard. Once the battle begins, you will cooperate with the cavalry to charge!"

"The last general takes command!"

"General Liu, you lead the archers as the center army. Once the battle begins, immediately shoot arrows at the Zhou army!"

Li Xing said with murderous intent on his face: "Don't be stingy with the sharp arrows in your hands, shoot them all out, and make sure to disrupt the Zhou army's deployment as soon as possible."

"The last general takes command!"

As orders were passed down, the atmosphere in the tent became tense, as if a storm was about to come.

However, Li Xing did not ask everyone to go down and make arrangements immediately. Instead, he continued:

"Generals, this battle is of great importance, but our troops have not had enough food in recent days, which will greatly affect our combat effectiveness."

"After everyone has been mobilized tonight, kill some war horses to fill their stomachs so that everyone can have a good meal!"

At this critical moment, Li Xing actually wanted to kill the war horse to satisfy his hunger.

As soon as this was said, the general who commanded the cavalry stood up to object: "General, our army has less than 20,000 horses left. If we continue to kill them, I'm afraid there will only be 10,000 left!"

They had killed almost half of the more than 40,000 war horses in this half month.

We will have a fierce battle with the Zhou army tomorrow. Killing the war horses now will be detrimental to the morale of the army!

But Li Xing snorted coldly: "General Tang, don't forget that we will fight to the death with Zhou's army tomorrow.

Once we all die in battle, these horses will only become spoils of war for the Zhou army.

Instead of doing this, we might as well let them play their final role and feed our army!

The soldiers haven't had a full meal for a long time. Only if we eat a full meal tonight can we fight the Zhou army to the death tomorrow!

You don't want your soldiers to become weaklings once they go to the battlefield, do you?"

The word "coward" made General Tang's face turn red.

Although they felt sorry for the war horses, the current situation was special. If they did not kill the war horses to satisfy their hunger, they would not be able to fight the Zhou army tomorrow.

How can people without strength fight fiercely with enemies that are several times their number?

Besides, Li Xing had already said this much, and it would be ungrateful for him not to agree.

"Since General Li has made up his mind, I will abide by it. However, in tomorrow's battle, I will lead the cavalry and take down Chu Ning's head!"

After saying that, Tang Xiong turned and left.

Li Xing nodded slightly, glanced at the other generals, and asked, "Generals, do you have any questions?"

Chen Fei stood up and frowned, saying, "General Li, the Zhou army is several times larger than ours. This battle will definitely be a tough one. In addition, the Zhou army has set up many traps outside the camp. I wonder how the general will respond to this?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted.

The traps outside the camp posed a huge problem for them.

If this problem is not resolved, not only will their cavalry encounter traps, but even the infantry will be unable to move forward.

But Li Xing had a playful look on his face when he heard this: "Don't worry about the trap. I have already got the trap blueprint."

After saying that, he turned around and took out a blueprint from his backpack and said with a smile:

"Generals, please remember the marching route. We will be able to take down Chu Ning's head tomorrow!"
