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

"How can this be!"

Chu Liji's face was filled with anger. He grabbed the messenger's collar with both hands and roared:

"The Chu-Zhou coalition has already retreated. How could they dare to fight back?"

The messenger was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he still trembled and said, "The Zhou Dynasty's reinforcements... have arrived."

Chu Liji was stunned, and his hands, which were grabbing the soldier's collar, slowly dropped down.

It's not that he had not thought about this possibility, but he didn't expect that the Zhou Dynasty's reinforcements would arrive at this time.

Now that the troops of both sides are in the city, the Qin army will engage in a fierce battle with the enemy in the city, which will make it impossible for the Qin cavalry to play a role.

Ying Zheng, who was standing aside with a cold face, looked indifferent and asked in a cold voice: "How many people are there on the other side, and who is leading them?"

The messenger quickly replied: "There are about 30,000 people, and the leader is... yes..."

After hesitating for a moment, he trembled and said, "It's the Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"What? The Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty is leading the army in person?"

Upon learning of this, Ying Zheng was not surprised but delighted, and laughed wildly, "Hahahaha, good, good!"

"She won't take the road to heaven, but she will go to hell even though there is no door. Now that she is here, don't go back!"

"General Chu Liji, the enemy only has 30,000 reinforcements. Are you sure you can defeat them and apply for the title of Empress of Great Zhou?"

Chu Liji's eyes lit up, his mind spun rapidly, and he said, "Only 30,000 reinforcements. They won't have any effect."

"Now our army of 50,000 has entered the city, and the cavalry outside the city is also rushing in continuously. The advantage is ours!"

"The Chu-Zhou coalition army now has only 50,000 troops. Even if there are 30,000 reinforcements, it is only 80,000 troops, which is less than our army!"

"Although fighting in the streets of the city is disadvantageous to our cavalry, it is also disadvantageous to Zhao Yu's white horse cavalry."

"The key to the victory of this battle lies in the infantry. The infantry of the Zhou Dynasty is not as strong as ours. Our army will win this battle without a doubt!"

When these words were spoken, Ying Zheng, who had wanted to capture Wu Zhao alive, was stunned and a look of determination flashed across his eyes.

"very good!"

Ying Zheng clenched his hands, a murderous look on his face: "In that case, let's fight to the death with Zhou Jun in the city!"

"In the battle of Hecheng, our army was completely annihilated by the Chu army in the city. If we can completely annihilate the Chu-Zhou coalition army in this battle, it can be regarded as saving the face of our dynasty!"

He turned to look at Chu Liji and said sternly: "General Chu Liji, this battle is still in your hands. I believe you will not let me down!"

Chu Liji saluted and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will definitely destroy the Chu-Zhou coalition and capture the Queen of Great Zhou alive!"

After saying this, Chu Liji made a prompt decision and gave an order to the soldiers: "All troops gather on the main street, spread out in all directions based on the main street, and the archers occupy the advantageous terrain!"

"Order the cavalry to enter the city as quickly as possible and wait for my orders!"

As orders were passed down, the Qin army began to deploy troops.

Ying Zheng came to the city wall and looked down at the Qin army that was spreading out in all directions like a tide.

Although it was unexpected that the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty led the army in person, the other side only brought 30,000 soldiers and horses, which was of no help at all.

Today, he was going to capture the Empress of the Great Zhou alive and humiliate this woman severely in front of everyone.

Since I can't take revenge on Chu Ning now, I'll vent my anger on Chu Ning's woman!

Who knows, Chu Ning might even become so angry because of this offense that the toxins in his body would be aggravated, leading to his death!

Thinking of Chu Ning's expression after he learned that the Queen of the Great Zhou was humiliated by him, Ying Zheng showed a sneer on his face.

In the east of Feihe City, Wu Zhao's carriage was blocked at the city gate by Xue Huaide and his men.

Xue Huaide, covered in blood, looked anxious and bowed: "Your Majesty, you cannot enter the city!"

The curtain of the imperial carriage was lifted, revealing Wu Zhao's exquisite face.

It’s just that today Wu Zetian was not wearing a dragon robe, but a set of close-fitting armor, looking heroic!

It has less of the flavor of a mature woman and more of a solemn and murderous aura.

Wu Zhao looked around and saw that all the soldiers on the street were covered in blood. A look of pity flashed in her eyes.

But then, she suppressed her inner emotions and said loudly: "My fellow generals, I have personally led the army to bring you food and weapons from the State of Chu!"

"Now, my imperial guards will go forward to resist the Qin army's attack. You guys go down first to have a good meal, change into new weapons, and then fight the Qin army again!"

"This battle..."

"Qiang~"

Wu Zhao suddenly drew the sword from her waist and said with a firm look in her eyes: "I will fight alongside you!"

As soon as these words came out, the Zhou army soldiers at the scene suddenly became full of vigor and raised their weapons high and shouted: "Long live His Majesty!"

Wu Zhao nodded slightly, then looked at Xue Huaide: "General, you and your soldiers will rest for three quarters of an hour, and see how the imperial guards resist the Qin army."

Xue Huaide was a little hesitant, as he was worried that the 30,000 imperial guards would not be able to stop the Qin army.

It can be seen that the empress insisted so much that it was not easy for him to disobey her orders in public.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We will have a good meal as soon as possible and change our weapons!"

After Xue Huaide finished speaking, he turned around and shouted to the people behind him, "Make way for the Imperial Guards!"

At the command, the Zhou army lined up on both sides of the street, and the imperial guards outside the city immediately rushed into the city.

Wu Zhao took this opportunity to go to the city wall and look down at the situation in the city.

On the crowded streets, the troops of both sides were being rapidly mobilized. Looking from a high vantage point, it looked like two torrents were gathering strength!

But it was obvious that the Qin army had occupied more than half of Feihe City at this moment, and the number of Qin troops was greater than theirs!

"Your Majesty, there are still about 100,000 Qin troops!"

Xue Huaide held a freshly steamed bun in his hand, and regardless of his cracked lips, he said in a deep voice:

"The 150,000 Qin troops attacked the city fiercely in the past month and a half, and lost about 50,000 people. Our army also lost more than 20,000 people."

"Now our army, including the 30,000 imperial guards you brought, has about 78,000 people, while the Qin army still has 100,000 people. If we engage in street fighting in the city, it will be disadvantageous to our army."

"Your Majesty, why don't you give all the cavalry to General Zhao Yu to lead them out of the city, attack the Qin army from behind, and catch them off guard!"

This is the only strategy Xue Huaide can think of to defeat the enemy at the moment.

The White Horse Cavalry under Zhao Yu's command is very powerful. If they are combined with some of the imperial cavalry, they will definitely be able to catch the Qin army off guard.

But Wu Zhao shook her head and said calmly: "General, didn't I just tell you that after you have had your fill, you can change into your weapons and armor? These were secretly sent by the Crown Prince of Chu."

"Oh, by the way, among the weapons delivered this time, there are also many crossbows and bed crossbows. You need to send someone to take over and arrange these weapons in advantageous positions."

"In this battle, I will fight them in the streets inside the city!"

"As for the cavalry, wait until the Qin army is defeated, and then let the cavalry pursue them!"

"Our army will win this battle!"

She was very confident in the weapons Chu Ning provided!

Although Xue Huaide knew that the weapons of the Chu army were powerful, he was not very confident in engaging in street fighting with the Qin army in the city.

Although the Chu army destroyed 100,000 Qin troops in Hecheng, their Zhou army was not the Chu army. How could they achieve the same result as the Chu army?

However, this was the order of the Empress, and even though he had some hesitations in his heart, he did not dare to object.

After responding, Xue Huaide immediately went down to prepare!

A shocking war is about to break out!
