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

"The Crown Prince has ordered us to fight the Qin army to the death!"

"The prince will live and die with us!"

Chu Ning's order was passed down and the battle was carried out. The roars of messengers were heard in the streets of the city and in the Chu army camp.

The Chu army generals, who were originally considering whether to retreat, suddenly became very motivated.

"Kill!"

"Come on!"

"Fight them!"

The morale of the Chu army suddenly soared, and they attacked the Qin army frantically.

The Qin army, which had been making relatively smooth progress, suddenly felt the pressure doubled.

After all, the difference in the number of troops on both sides is almost the same, and with the same morale, no one can gain an advantage.

What's more, the Crown Prince of Chu, Chu Ning, chose to stay, which would only make the Chu army fight desperately.

For a moment, the Qin army's offensive was actually blocked.

Although the Qin generals continued to command their troops to break through the Chu army's defense and defeat the Chu army, they tried to charge several times and were beaten back each time.

Both sides used the streets as their bases, and every house became an object of their contention.

At this moment, the soldiers of both sides were completely blood-thirsty and crazy, and only the opponent was in their eyes.

At this time, the sun slowly moved westward and it was already the afternoon hour of Shen.

Seeing that he was unable to make a breakthrough, Zhao Tuo of the Qin army had no choice but to send a message to Wang Jian outside the city.

Outside the city, the Qin army camp.

Wang Jian stood on his horse, his face expressionless, as if he didn't care about the battle situation at hand.

But the hands that were gripping the reins were now turning white at the knuckles because they were holding on too tightly.

Although he seems calm on the surface, there is thunder in his heart!

This battle is of great importance. If he cannot capture Hecheng in one go, it will be even more difficult for him to capture the city when the Chu army comes to its senses.

This time Chu Ning's poison attack was due to the right time, right place and right people. Without Chu Ning's command, the Chu army's combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

This is a God-sent opportunity!

The Qin army must seize this opportunity.

While he was deep in thought, a messenger came on horseback to report: "General, the Chu army has launched a full-scale counterattack and is fighting fiercely with our army in the city.

Several generals led their men to charge but were unable to disperse the Chu army. Moreover, the Chu army, relying on its superior weapons, began to advance slowly, and our army was struggling!"

The battle situation was unfavorable. Upon hearing this, the personal guards around Wang Jian looked at each other, and a hint of worry flashed across their faces.

But Wang Jian was not surprised but delighted, his eyes sparkling with brilliance, and he asked in a deep voice: "Why did the Chu army burst out with such powerful fighting power?"

The messenger answered truthfully: "There was news from the Chu army camp that Chu Ning chose to stay and fight them to the death. Upon hearing this, the morale of the Chu army was greatly boosted."

"Hahahaha, ok, ok!"

Wang Jian laughed wildly and suddenly drew the sword from his waist: "If the Chu army is defeated, there must be a trick!"

"But the Chu army fought desperately, which proves that Chu Ning is suffering from the effects of the poison and he is unable to command the troops."

"Since he won't leave, then don't leave. I will kill him myself."

"Order, the personal guards and the reserve troops will follow me into Hecheng, kill Chu Ning, and gain unparalleled merit!"

After he finished speaking, Wang Jian led the charge and rushed towards Hecheng.

The reserve troops and personal guards behind him were shocked when they saw this and immediately followed.

Originally they stayed outside the city to support the troops inside the city. Once an accident occurred, they could serve as the remaining force to deal with the emergency.

But now that the Chu army has no other options and there is no ambush in the city, it would be a waste for them to stay outside the city.

Since the troops of both sides are now in a stalemate, their joining will definitely change the situation!

At the beginning, Wang Jian did not use this part of the troops because he was worried that Chu Ning would use a trick.

But now the Qin army has already attacked Hecheng from all directions, so no matter what plan Chu Ning has, it is useless.

Send all the troops forward and deal a fatal blow to the Chu army, causing it to completely collapse, and the battle will be over.

With excitement, Wang Jian rode his horse into the city.

However, to be cautious, he still ordered people to find Zhao Fu of Heibingtai and ask him to provide correct information.

Half an hour later, Wang Jian was leading his troops in a fierce battle with the Chu army on the street. Zhao Fu, the deputy commander of the Black Ice Platform, came on horseback to report:

"General, according to the information we received, Chu Ning has not shown up in the past few days, but from the sound of his voice, we can tell that he has been poisoned!"

Wang Jian killed a Chu soldier with a sword, his eyes flashing with excitement: "So, our army will definitely win this battle?"

But he was cautious by nature and still raised his eyebrows, suppressed his inner excitement, and asked seriously: "What is Chu Ning doing now?"

Zhao Fu shook his head: "He is in the palace. Our people are not high enough to get close. We can only listen to his voice from afar."

"This is enough!"

Wang Jian sneered: "Since Chu Ning is still in the city, our army will win this battle, and he will definitely die today!"

He looked up at the sky at the moment, his eyes flashed with anger: "The Chu army is well-equipped and has tried their best to protect Chu Ning. Our army needs to change its tactics!"

"Messenger, immediately send a message to Generals Zhao Tuo and Li Ran, and have them gather all the archers here!"

"I will personally lead the archers to the palace and kill Chu Ning!"

"Yes!" the messenger responded and immediately went down to deliver the message.

Half an hour later, Zhao Tuo and Li Ran, who received the order, dispatched all the archers to Wang Jian's side.

At this moment, the sky darkened and the soldiers of both sides had to fight at night.

Wang Jian looked at the flickering torches in the distance, his ears ringing with the shouts of soldiers from both sides and the sound of weapons clashing, and a cold look appeared in his eyes.

He is just waiting for dark!

When it gets dark, the Chu army will definitely light torches.

And the torches will make the Chu army a sitting duck!

All his archers had to do was shoot at the torches.

"Target, the Chu army in the distance, shieldmen in front to clear the way, archers in the back, shoot arrows from a distance of sixty steps!"

As Wang Jian's order was given, the Qin army's shieldmen rushed forward, withstanding the attack from the Chu army and continuing to advance.

The archers behind also quickly caught up, and when they were about sixty steps away, the crossbowmen drew their arrows and shot at the torches in the distance.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”

Suddenly, arrows rained down like rain, densely packed and falling into the Chu army camp.

Suddenly, screams were heard from the Chu army.

The Qin army's shieldmen immediately felt that the resistance in front of them was much less, and they immediately rushed forward to occupy the places lost by the Chu army.

The archer behind him drew his bow and arrow again, and the sharp arrow whistled like the devil taking his life in the night.

Accompanied by screams and the sound of "thump thump thump", the Chu army, which had been struggling to resist just now, was caught off guard.

The Qin army's shieldmen took the opportunity to rush forward again, and the archers also followed suit.

Faced with the approach of the Qin army, the Chu army immediately organized troops to counterattack, but their attack was blocked by the Qin army's shieldmen!

By the time the Qin archers fired the eighth round of arrows, more than half of the torches on the street had disappeared.

Wang Jian sneered: "Rush over, head straight to the palace, and kill Chu Ning first!"

The Chu army's formation was broken, and the Qin army immediately marched straight in!
