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

Under the cover of night, war horses surged and the sounds of killing shook the sky!

With their retreat cut off, Qin general Nei Shi Teng realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately ordered his men to bring Ying Zheng out.

Under the protection of the imperial guards, Ying Zheng rode his horse to the outside of the city. Looking at the Qin cavalry whose formation had been disrupted, his face was extremely gloomy.

Nei Shi Teng rode forward and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, we have fallen into a trap!"

"The Chu-Zhou coalition deliberately let our army into the city. They ambushed a cavalry behind our army and took advantage of our unpreparedness to disperse our cavalry!"

"While our army has not been completely overwhelmed, I will lead my men to escort Your Majesty out!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng clenched his hands and said coldly, "Are you saying that from the very beginning, our army was plotted against by the Queen of Great Zhou?"

"I'm afraid that's the case!" Although Neishiteng was reluctant to admit it in his heart, he had to nod.

"Humph, the Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty doesn't have such great wisdom!"

Ying Zheng's face was full of coldness: "Although she has some tricks, how could she possibly deceive you and General Chu Liji in commanding troops?"

"This……"

Nei Shi Teng hesitated for a moment, and finally answered carefully: "Maybe Chu Ning was behind her planning."

As soon as the word Chu Ning came out, Ying Zheng fell silent.

In fact, he thought the same thing in his heart, but he just didn't want to admit it.

But on second thought, losing to Chu Ning is better than losing to that woman Wu Zhao.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "Gather the troops immediately and break out!"

"Also, send someone to inform General Chu Liji to stop the Zhou army in the city!"

After saying this, Ying, under the protection of the imperial guards, headed towards the northwest.

Nei Shi Teng did not dare to delay and immediately ordered his troops to follow.

The Qin army's fighting power was very strong. Even when their formation was disrupted by the White Horse Cavalry, they still fought.

Although Zhao Yu also saw a Qin army trying to break through, he was unable to lead his men to chase them.

There was no other way. There were too many Qin troops around, so he had to stay and command.

Even though he had guessed that it was Ying Zheng who was trying to break through, he could not abandon his troops and choose to chase Ying Zheng at this moment.

However, Ying Zheng's departure gave him the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Zhao Yu's eyes lit up, and he pointed his spear in the direction where Ying Zheng was running away. He suddenly laughed out loud and said, "The Emperor of Qin has escaped. Brothers, kill him!"

This shout attracted the attention of soldiers from both sides.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and indeed, they saw a group of soldiers heading quickly towards the northwest.

Upon seeing this, the Chu-Zhou coalition cavalry suddenly became more motivated and charged towards the northwest.

On the other hand, when the Qin army saw their emperor fleeing, they knew that the battle was hopeless and their morale dropped sharply.

Although they were still fighting hard, their fighting power was far less than before.

They were already being beaten back step by step, and this now made the situation even worse, accelerating their defeat.

At this moment, a hint of paleness appeared in the eastern sky.

Chu Liji, who was leading the troops to resist in the city, also received the news that Ying Zheng had broken through.

"General Chu Liji, His Majesty has issued an order that you must hold off the Chu-Zhou coalition for at least two hours!"

The messenger's words made Chu Liji breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as Ying Zheng escapes safely, it doesn’t matter whether he is alive or dead, as long as Ying Zheng is fine.

"very good!"

A firm look flashed across Chu Liji's eyes: "Since His Majesty has left, there is no need for me to continue defending!"

He slowly turned around and looked towards the streets in the city, a fierce look on his face: "If I don't succeed today, I will die!"

"Order all archers to gather on the main street. Have them cooperate with the shieldmen and charge into the enemy formation!"

"Since our retreat is blocked, let's just fight them!"

Ying Zheng has already escaped, and he has no worries. Even if he is defeated in this battle, he will make the Chu-Zhou coalition army lose a lot of weight!

At the command, the Qin army began to mobilize.

The early sun was as red as blood, dyeing the mottled walls of Feihe City into dark gold.

Chu Liji stood in the shadow of the corner tower, beads of sweat seeping out from the gaps in his iron armor, but his palm was always tightly grasping the bronze tiger talisman.

The sky was obscured by smoke and dust in the city, and the large flag of the Zhou Dynasty fluttered in the wind - Xue Huaide had indeed fallen into the trap.

At this moment, all the main forces of the Zhou Dynasty are concentrated on the main street!

"Beat the drums!" He suddenly shouted, and hundreds of cowhide war drums on the city walls exploded.

Thirty thousand Qin army archers lined up in a row on the main street. The black iron shield formation poured out from the city wall like a tide and formed a tortoise shell formation on the main street.

The sound of arrowheads breaking through the air instantly tore through the sky, and a dense rain of arrows pressed towards the front of the Zhou army like a swarm of locusts. The bronze shield was instantly filled with white feather arrows, as if the ground was covered with strange white flowers.

On the high platform outside the city, Xue Huaide suddenly widened his eyes and stared at the battle situation on the main street.

Scouts came to report one after another, all saying that the main force of the Qin army had retreated to the main street of Feihe City, but his square face, filled with solemnity, became increasingly gloomy.

"Chu Liji has always been treacherous in employing troops..." He paced anxiously, and suddenly saw a few crows startled in the eastern sky. The ancestral dragon-sparrow sword on his waist began to tremble for no reason.

When he finally noticed something was wrong, eight thousand lightly armored Qin troops had already rushed towards the east of Feihe City like arrows.

At this moment, on the outskirts of the East Gate, the rising sun was quietly swallowing up the last of the darkness, and Wu Zhao was sitting upright in the golden chariot pulled by four horses.

"Protect the emperor!" The roar of Yuwen Tuo, the commander of the imperial guards, and the sound of breaking through the air rang out at the same time.

Three hundred wolf-tooth arrows shot out from the city wall, instantly turning the chariots in the front into hedgehogs.

The Qin army's elite soldiers emerged in a black mass like ghosts. Chu Liji's red cloak fluttered in front of the formation, and the sharp arrow in his hand pointed directly at the imperial chariot:

"Whoever takes Wu Zhao's head will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

Yuwen Tuo pulled off the scarlet cloak with his backhand, revealing the black iron chain mail underneath.

Three thousand Yulin guards quickly formed a circle and surrounded the imperial carriage in the core. Amid the flashes of swords and sabers, this fierce general from Longxi actually lifted a two-hundred-jin Mo Dao with one hand, and his chopping force was like a giant spirit splitting a mountain.

However, the Qin army soldiers continued to fight, and the Yulin guards kept falling down, holding their throats, and the blood gradually formed a stream on the bluestone road.

Wu Zhao suddenly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the evening breeze blew in with a bloody smell.

She saw Yuwen Tuo still fighting desperately with three crossbow arrows stuck in his left shoulder, and saw the young guard still holding the enemy's legs tightly with a spear pierced through the chest.

With her bare hands, she slowly drew the sword from her waist, and the sword reflected the first rays of the sun that had just appeared in the sky - it turned out that the so-called destiny was ultimately built on the bones.

"Your Majesty, you can't do that!" The maid Shangguan Qing'er rushed over and hugged her legs.

"Our army has not yet reached its final battle, you cannot go into battle in person!"

"is it?"

Chu Liji on the opposite side sneered and pointed the blood-stained arrow in his hand directly at Wu Zhao: "Now your army is all on the main street, no one here can come to save you!"

"Today, even if the main force of my Qin army is destroyed here, it will be worth it if I can kill the Queen of Great Zhou!"

"Once you, the Queen of the Great Zhou, are killed, the Zhou Dynasty will be over, and the so-called Chu-Zhou coalition will no longer exist!"

After he finished speaking, Chu Liji's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Kill the Queen of the Great Zhou immediately!"
