The Qin army held their ground and the Chu army found it difficult to break through.

This is the problem that Chu Ning and Chu Jun are currently facing.

The Qin army was far more powerful than Chu Ning had imagined, which made him understand why these people were transferred by Ying Zheng to defend against the barbarians.

If it weren't for these elite troops, the barbarians would surely march south and trample upon the Central Plains!

Only by fighting against the Qin army in person did he fully understand the strength of the world's number one dynasty!

Even after being defeated, the opponent can still achieve such amazing results and burst out such amazing combat power.

But Ran Ming on the side was dissatisfied and snorted, "Your Highness, don't boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige.

If you give me another 20,000 men, and charge a few more times, I will surely be able to break into the Qin army camp and completely defeat them!"

The last time he and Guan Yun led the charge, if it weren't for the traps blocking the horses' way, he would have led his troops into the Qin army camp long ago, and it wouldn't have taken so long.

That battle also became a knot in his heart. If he wanted to save face, he had to lead his troops to attack the Qin army camp.

But Chu Ning shook his head when he heard this, and said sternly: "Don't show off. The combat effectiveness of the Qin army is far beyond our estimation. There are many traps outside the camp. If you attack rashly, you will only lose soldiers under your command."

But Ran Ming's eyes widened, and he said in a muffled voice: "It's been more than half a month, and there has been no battle. I'm almost going crazy staying in the city!"

As a military general, he felt very frustrated that he couldn't fight in a war.

Ran Ming is a outspoken person. He cannot keep things to himself and speaks out his thoughts as soon as he opens his mouth.

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are all the soldiers in the city like you?"

Ran Ming curled his lips: "Who said it wasn't true? Everyone thinks that His Royal Highness has become timid after being poisoned."

Although the sound was not loud, Chu Ning and Jia Yu who were present heard it clearly.

This is a sign of low morale!

Jia Yu was afraid that Chu Ning would be angry, so he quickly explained: “Your Highness, in fact, the soldiers just want to defeat the Qin army as soon as possible, take down the Qin State, and seize the Lieyang Grass to remove the poison for you.”

It was no secret that Chu Ning had been poisoned by the blood spider. Now the entire Hecheng army knew about it.

The soldiers naturally did not want to see their Crown Prince poisoned to death, and they all wanted to rush into Qin as soon as possible to snatch the Fiery Sun Grass.

Even Ran Ming couldn't help but nod and agree when he heard this: "Yes, Your Highness, you are poisoned. I always feel uncomfortable. I want to get the Fiery Sun Grass as soon as possible to remove the poison for you."

Chu Ning's eyes lit up at their words, and a hint of amusement appeared on his face.

"Originally, I hadn't thought of a way to deal with Wang Jian, but what you two said just now reminded me!"

Chu Ning raised his lips slightly: "Since we can't attack them, let's lure the Qin army out. As long as they leave the camp, without the protection of the trap, they will definitely not be our opponents!"

Ran Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help but take two steps forward and asked, "What's your plan, Your Highness?"

Chu Ning smiled mysteriously and whispered his plan again.

When Ran Ming heard this, his eyes widened and he looked shocked.

The more Jia Yu listened, the more relaxed his expression became. After he finished listening, he stroked his beard and laughed:

"Your Highness is trying to manipulate the Qin army. If successful, our army will surely defeat the Qin army."

"However, Wang Jian has always been cautious. I wonder if he will be fooled."

Although he agreed with Chu Ning's plan, Jia Yu knew very well that Wang Jian was no ordinary person and it would be difficult to deceive him.

In response, Chu Ning had a confident expression and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone has weaknesses!"

"Besides, Wang Jian suffered a disastrous defeat last time and lost many soldiers and generals. He has been looking for an opportunity to kill me and defeat my army!"

"If the opportunity was presented to him, do you think he would miss it?"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Jia Yu to continue, he said loudly: "Okay, this matter is decided, Lord Jia, you will arrange it yourself!"

"Yes!" Jia Yu responded and immediately went down to pass on the message.

Ran Ming stroked his huge bald head and asked with a wry smile, "Your Highness, what should I do now?"

"You..."

Chu Ning rolled his eyes and chuckled, “Just pretend to be a reckless man and attack the Qin army camp these few nights.

Remember, I'm not asking you to really attack, but just pretend to attack so that you can find out the traps outside the Qin army camp."

Ran Ming chuckled, patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't do anything serious. As for those traps, I've wanted to dismantle them a long time ago!"

After saying this, he bowed and left.

That night, at midnight.

On the night of October, the north wind howled, bringing a bit of coolness, and the Qin army's battle flags fluttered.

In the huge Qin army camp, there was a blazing bonfire, and cavalrymen would patrol outside the camp from time to time.

At the gate of the camp, a team of Qin soldiers were guarding the camp in high spirits, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

On a quiet night, the only sound was the crackling sound of the bonfire.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the camp.

The Qin army's faces changed drastically, and they all looked outside nervously.

I saw torches flickering in the distance, the sound of horse hooves coming continuously, and the torches were getting closer.

Just as everyone was surprised, Qin's own cavalry scout rode back with a somewhat anxious look on his face and shouted loudly:

"The Chu cavalry is attacking, quickly... quickly blow the horn!"

"Woo~wu~wu~"

Soon, the horn was blown, and the Qin soldiers in the camp stood up, picked up the weapons outside the tent and rushed out.

Wang Jian, who was awakened, had a serious expression on his face. He immediately rode his horse to the gate of the camp and asked in a cold voice:

"What happened?"

"General, the Chu army is attacking!"

"Have you found out how many enemy troops there are?"

"It's hard to see in the dark, and we don't know how many enemy troops there are at the moment."

"In that case, tell the archers to shoot them back!"

Wang Jian did not dare to take the risk of sending troops easily. He only needed to defend this place and stop the Chu army.

At the command, the Qin army drew their bows and arrows whizzed out.

The Chu army who had been prepared outside the camp raised their shields!

The sharp arrows collided with the shields, making clanging sounds and sending sparks flying.

After more than ten consecutive rounds of sharp arrows, the Chu army was unable to rush to the gate of the camp and soon retreated like a tide.

Wang Jian snorted coldly: "That's all. Pass the order down. No one is allowed to go outside the camp to clean up the battlefield!"

He thought this might be a test from the Chu army and did not take it seriously.

But on the second and third nights, the Chu army sent people to attack every night.

Moreover, it became even worse. Every time the Qin army shot back the Chu army and went back to rest, the Chu army would send people up again.

This made the Qin army exhausted.

To this end, Wang Jian made adjustments. Each camp was assigned someone to keep watch for an hour. As long as the Chu army dared to approach, they would shoot arrows to drive them back.

Wang Jian had only one request: no one was allowed to leave the camp and fight the Chu army, otherwise he would be killed without mercy!

Although he didn't know why the Chu army used this method, he felt that the Chu army seemed a little anxious.

In this case, he will continue to fight with the Chu army!
