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

A sword suddenly came, carrying a strong murderous intent, determined to kill Chu Ning with one sword!

But just as the sharp sword was about to reach Chu Ning, a long spear came from the side!

"Qiang!"

The long spear blocked the sharp sword, and then the spear suddenly shocked Chang Hongbo, who was overwhelmed and was knocked back several steps.

The soldiers from both sides immediately rushed up, and with clanging sounds, the two sides faced each other with their weapons drawn.

"General, you want to kill me?"

Chu Ning put his hands behind his back, looking calm and not afraid at all.

After failing in the first attack, Chang Hongbo did not attack again, but stared at Chu Ning coldly: "You came to me on your own, so I will modify my ruthlessness.

If you hadn't let my son go out to hunt him down, he wouldn't have died. You did all this on purpose!"

Chu Ning shook his head and said coldly: "If I remember correctly, Chang Zhengyang followed your order to go out of the city to pursue, right?"

"Without further ado!"

Chang Hongbo suddenly roared: "If you hadn't come to the front line, there wouldn't be so many things. If you had voluntarily handed over the silver and military pay, things wouldn't have evolved to this point. You are the culprit!"

"Someone come, kill..."

"and many more!"

Liu Shouren suddenly stood up from behind Chu Ning, bowed and persuaded him: "General, I know you are sad about losing your son, but this matter has nothing to do with Your Highness.

It was General Chang who insisted on pursuing us, so I persuaded Your Highness to let him go. You are wrong to blame Your Highness for this matter."

But Chang Hongbo, who was already furious, didn't listen to this at all. He said coldly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, Lord Liu. Stand aside, otherwise I will kill you too!"

"This..." Liu Shouren was stunned. He didn't expect Chang Hongbo to be so crazy.

"Everyone, follow me!" Chang Hongbo's eyes turned cold, and he swung the sword in his hand and rushed towards Chu Ning.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed out from under the city wall, led by the generals under Chang Hongbo.

"General, how dare you commit treason!"

"How dare you be so disrespectful to His Highness? Why don't you put down your weapons?"

"How many of you have the guts to attack His Highness? Aren't you afraid of having your entire clan executed?"

"Put down your weapons, or you will be considered a traitor!"

As the generals scolded, the morale of Chang Hongbo's personal soldiers plummeted.

They only had a few hundred people, and all the generals were on Chu Ning's side, so they had no chance of winning.

Even Chang Hongbo had a gloomy face and stared at everyone: "How dare you betray me!"

A general frowned and said, "General Chang, His Majesty has ordered that the commander here is the Prince of Penglai, you should not interfere!"

"Yes, the Prince of Penglai has the final say here. General Chang, don't mess around!"

"At this point, General, you should lay down your weapons and wait for His Highness to deal with you. In consideration of your fighting for the country, His Highness will surely give you a lenient sentence."

"The situation has been decided. General Chang, please hand over your seal of command!"

The generals saluted and shouted in unison: "General Chang, please hand over the seal of command!"

Chang Hongbo felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He took several steps back and was only able to stand firm with the help of his personal soldiers.

Staring at everyone, Chang Hongbo felt hopeless.

These people were all supported by him with great effort, but now they are standing on Chu Ning's side.

"Okay, okay!"

Chang Hongbo pushed away the personal soldiers who were supporting him and said coldly: "For your own future, you actually betrayed me."

"Clang~" The sharp sword was thrown heavily to the ground by Chang Hongbo.

"My head is right here. Who of you wants to take it?"

The generals were silent.

Although they did not want Chang Hongbo to easily fight a decisive battle with the Zhao army, they did not dare to kill him at this moment.

After all, Chang Hongbo trained and promoted them, and even the coldest-blooded person has feelings.

What's more, if they really killed Chang Hongbo in front of so many soldiers, they would definitely be cursed and criticized in the army in the future.

For a moment, the scene was completely silent.

"Don't you dare to take action?"

Chang Hongbo snorted coldly: "How dare you betray me with such courage?"

He turned to look at Chu Ning and sneered, "See? No one dares to do it. Prince Penglai, why don't you do it yourself?"

Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Why does Your Highness need to do it yourself to kill you?"

He spun the spear in his hand, with the tip pointing directly at Chang Hongbo. He only needed to wait for Chu Ning's order so that he could take this man's head.

But at this moment, the personal soldiers around Chang Hongbo rushed forward and protected Chang Hongbo.

Chu Ning snorted coldly and was about to give the order to kill Chang Hongbo, but then the sound of war drums was heard outside the city.

Then, there was the overwhelming sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing.

Everyone turned around and saw the dense Zhao army outside the city gathering towards the city gate.

A soldier suddenly came to report: "Your Highness, the enemy troops have gathered and prepared many siege weapons. It seems that they want to attack the city in one go."

The generals around gasped. No one expected that the Zhao army would suddenly send out troops at this moment.

"Why did the Zhao army suddenly launch an attack?"

"This...what should we do? Judging from the enemy's posture, this battle is going to be a decisive one."

"Humph, what are you afraid of? Our army has the city wall as a barrier. It won't be that easy for them to break in."

"Your Highness, please make the decision!"

Everyone was talking about it, and finally their eyes were on Chu Ning.

At this moment, they have betrayed Chang Hongbo and only recognize Chu Ning.

Chang Hongbo sneered, looking like he was waiting to see Chu Ning make a fool of himself.

Chu Ning took a look at the densely packed Zhao army outside the city and knew that they must have come to avenge Tuoba Hao.

But this is just right. Let’s take advantage of this opportunity to kill some of the enemy’s troops first!

As for Chang Hongbo...

Chu Ning's eyes rolled and he immediately had an idea.

"The Zhao army is coming with great force. If our army does not fight back, its morale will surely be dampened!"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Chang Hongbo: "Now, you have two choices!"

"First, obey my orders and lead your troops to fight the enemy. I will let you avenge Chang Zhengyang. Even if you die in battle, I will report to the court and confer titles on you and your son. This way, the Chang family can be saved!"

"Second, you refused to fight. I ordered you to be beheaded. I will also report to my father that you disobeyed my order and exterminate your entire Chang family!"

Although the tone was plain, it sounded like an electric shock to Chang Hongbo's ears.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Chang Hongbo understood that Chu Ning was fully capable of doing it at the moment.

Both paths lead to death, but the former can preserve one's reputation and the Chang family!

Chang Hongbo took a deep breath and looked Chu Ning straight in the eye for the first time in his life: "You, very good, I was wrong!"

"But how can you make me avenge Yang'er?"

After hearing this, Chu Ning smiled.

Chang Hongbo has made his choice!

"This matter is simple. I will personally go out of the city to meet with the other party's commander Tuoba Yan, and then we will fight against each other!"

Chu Ning looked as if he was sure of victory.

But Chang Hongbo frowned: "Why did Tuoba Yan agree to fight with you?"

Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Because, I killed his grandson!"

Chang Hongbo was stunned for a moment, then realized that the Zhao army was so crazy because Tuoba Hao was killed!

While thinking, Chu Ning said loudly: "Ran Ming, take Ni Heng with you and follow me out of the city!"
