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

"is it?"

Chu Ning looked at Wang Jian, who had a ferocious face, calmly and chuckled, "In that case, I will show you how to turn the tide of the battle tonight!"

He waved his right hand and said loudly: "Send the signal arrow!"

At a command, three sharp arrows shot into the air from the Chu army camp.

Wang Jian was shocked in his heart, but on the surface he stared at Chu Ning, trying not to show his fear.

The faces of the surrounding Qin soldiers also changed drastically at this moment. They clenched their weapons and prepared for battle, fearing that many Chu soldiers would rush out from the darkness around them.

But after waiting for a while, the scene was still silent.

It was a quiet night with only the howling north wind, making the battle flags of both sides flutter.

Wang Jian suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, this is what you call turning the tide? Where are your troops?"

"You dare to play tricks in front of me? Humph, you will definitely die tonight!"

With a wave of his right hand, he was about to give the order to attack.

But Chu Ning suddenly stretched out his right index finger and pointed at Wang Jian.

In Wang Jian's surprised eyes, he said calmly: "Don't worry, why not take a look at the palace first."

Wang Jian frowned. Although he was reluctant to do what Chu Ning said, his intuition told him that Chu Ning was not lying.

He turned his head with difficulty to look at the palace, but what he saw was a sea of flames rising into the sky.

The surrounding Qin soldiers all turned their heads and saw that the palace was on fire, and they immediately started talking about it.

"Strange, why is there a fire over there?"

"Yeah, isn't that the palace over there? With such a big fire, I'm afraid the whole palace would have been burned down long ago."

"Who set the fire? Was it one of ours?"

"Impossible! How could our people set the fire without the order from the general?"

Just as the Qin army was discussing this, Wang Jian's angry voice suddenly came: "Shut up!"

Everyone suddenly became quiet.

Wang Jian turned around and stared at Chu Ning, looking unwilling and asking, "Is this your evil plan? You deliberately lured our troops to the palace and then set fire to them all?"

The Qin army had just occupied the palace, and now that it was on fire, the Qin army inside would surely be burned to death.

Even if they could break out, there would definitely be Chu troops waiting outside.

Although there are not many Qin troops in the entire palace, there are still more than 3,000 of them. This fire will burn all of them to death.

As a general, how could Wang Jian not be angry!

But Chu Ning said calmly: "Are you angry already? You are angry too early. You will be even angrier next."

Wang Jian's eyes narrowed and he stared at Chu Ning, savoring the meaning of Chu Ning's words.

If someone else said this to him, he would definitely not believe it, but this was what Chu Ning said.

He had to believe it!

"What other tricks do you have?" Wang Jian gathered himself and tried to calm himself down.

On the surface, he was questioning Chu Ning, but in fact he was secretly thinking of a countermeasure.

But Chu Ning seemed to see through Wang Jian's thoughts, and couldn't help but laugh when he heard it: "Don't worry, your messenger should be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard behind everyone.

A messenger came running at full speed, his face filled with anxiety, shouting, "General, it's bad. The Chu army in the south of the city has launched a counterattack. Our army can't resist it. Please send troops to support us!"

Wang Jian was furious when he heard this: "How is this possible? Didn't we defeat the Chu army an hour ago?"

The messenger was sweating profusely and said hurriedly: "The Chu army deliberately showed weakness. After our army attacked them, we found that they had an ambush."

It’s over, I fell into a trap!

This was the only thought in Wang Jian’s mind.

At the beginning, they charged and attacked fiercely, but encountered resistance from the Chu army, which made them relax their vigilance.

After they defeated the Chu army, they believed that the Chu army was doomed to be defeated and would no longer be prepared.

But even in this situation, the Chu army used the troops that had been ambushed long ago to defeat them.

What's worse is that since Chu Ning had a plan in place, it was definitely not just the troops in the south of the city that were ambushed.

The other three city gates must have suffered the same fate.

Thinking of this, Wang Jian clenched his hands tightly, stared at Chu Ning and asked, "Did you set up ambushes at the other three gates as well?"

Chu Ning chuckled and said, "Don't worry, wait a little longer, and you'll know when your messenger continues to report."

"you……"

Wang Jian was about to open his mouth and scold, but a war horse came galloping over, and another messenger arrived.

"General, it's bad. Our army was attacked by the Chu army in the east of the city. We suffered heavy casualties. Please send troops to support us immediately!"

Wang Jian's heart trembled.

This time he learned his lesson and didn't ask for details.

Things were exactly as Chu Ning said, they fell into a trap and were afraid they would not be able to leave Hecheng tonight.

Sure enough, before he could open his mouth, two fast horses rushed towards him again.

"General, it's bad. Our army encountered an attack from the enemy in the west of the city. We are unable to resist!"

"General, our army was defeated in the north of the city. Please send troops to support us immediately."

The Qin troops at the four city gates all encountered attacks and ambushes. The situation was very unfavorable to them, otherwise they would not have sent people to ask for help.

Wang Jian looked at the four messengers in front of him, but the anger in his heart disappeared.

Since all this was arranged by Chu Ning, the outcome of the battle was determined the moment he entered the city.

But he didn't understand how Chu Ning did all this.

"I have been defeated!"

Wang Jian suddenly looked at Chu Ning calmly, and said calmly: "But I want to know, how did you do all this step by step?"

Chu Ning was about to speak when Jia Yu suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, let me explain."

Chu Ning nodded slightly and said nothing.

Jia Yu took two steps forward and said with a smile: "General Wang, your Qin's Black Ice Platform is indeed powerful, but it is precisely because they are so powerful that they can gain your trust."

"So, I deliberately arranged for the Jinyiwei to kill a prince in your capital and steal the treasures of many royal family members. The purpose was to create an illusion that the prince of our dynasty was about to be poisoned and whether our army was anxious."

"Of course, you wouldn't believe it just because of this, so Your Highness and I deliberately staged a play so that the Black Ice Platform spies you arranged in the palace could hear it deliberately."

"You will only dispatch all your troops if you think that His Highness has been poisoned and General Ran Ming has been forced into the city by your mistake."

"And this is exactly the result I want!"

"If you hold on tightly, our army will have difficulty conquering you. But if you enter the city, everything will fall into our control."

"Now that you know everything you need to know, do you intend to surrender or fight to the bitter end?"

At this moment, Jia Yu's tone was filled with a hint of sarcasm and condescending arrogance.

After listening to his explanation, Wang Jian suddenly laughed out loud: "Although you have fallen into a trap, I will not let you off easily!"

"Even if my army of 100,000 is destroyed here today, Chu Ning must die!"

He pointed the sword in his hand at Chu Ning and roared, "Follow me and kill him!"
