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

A few days later, in the Zhao army camp.

Murong Zhu summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.

"See the Marshal!"

"No need to be so polite, generals!"

Murong Zhu said in a deep voice: "The reason I summoned you all here this time is to seize the enemy's food and grass. According to the information I have received, the enemy has 3 million dan of food that will arrive in Dingxiang City in two days."

As soon as these words were spoken, the generals, who were full of anger, volunteered one after another.

"General, let me lead the troops to rob the grain!"

"I only need 10,000 men to bring back these 3 million dan of grain!"

"If we can rob such a large amount of food, it will definitely help alleviate our army's current predicament."

"Please give me 8,000 men, and I will be able to seize this batch of food!"

If they could get so much food, it would definitely hit the morale of the Chu army, and then they could take the opportunity to attack the city.

They have been waiting for so long and have never had the chance to attack the city. Now that they finally have the opportunity to rob food, how could they let it go?

But Murong Zhu calmly said to everyone's requests: "This matter should not be taken lightly. If you want to do it, do it on a big scale!"

Everyone was stunned, not understanding what this meant.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Murong Zhu said indifferently: "Our army will not only rob food, but also take the opportunity to attack the city!

The news of grain robbery will surely spread to the city, and Chu Ning will certainly send troops to support us. Our army can delay their main force by attacking the city.

In addition, send cavalry to ambush them halfway and wipe out all the troops that come out of the city to support them!

This battle will have three battlefields. Our goal is to steal food, wipe out the reinforcements from Da Chu, and capture Dingxiang City!"

As the last word fell, Murong Zhu's aura suddenly exploded, and the breath of a superior rushed towards him.

The generals realized at this moment that they had underestimated their coach.

They only saw the food but not the greater opportunities.

It was not until Murong Zhu finished explaining his plan that they realized how powerful their coach was.

"The commander is wise!" The generals were so excited that they no longer fought for the task of robbing grain.

Since we are going to have a decisive battle, you can make contributions on all three battlefields!

Murong Zhu was very satisfied with the momentum. He had been holding back for so long. If he didn't make a move, then it would be fine. But once he made a move, he would take Dingxiang City!

"Generals, listen!"

Everyone stood up one after another.

"General Ximen Bao, lead 10,000 cavalrymen to rob the grain!"

"General Murong Han, lead 20,000 cavalry to ambush the reinforcements of the Great Chu Army!"

"General Wang, General Zhao, and General Han, each of you lead 30,000 troops to attack the three city gates in the east, west, and north of the city!"

"The rest of the troops will serve as a reserve force, waiting for my command!"

"I obey your orders!" Everyone received their tasks and immediately bowed and went to make arrangements.

Murong Zhu looked at the backs of the generals as they left, his eyes flashing coldly.

"Chu Ning, if you take over Dingxiang City, I will definitely take your head to avenge General Tuoba!"

"You are so arrogant, you bastard, I will cut you into pieces!"

Compared to Chu Ning, Murong Zhu hated Ni Heng, the most despicable guy, even more!

If we capture Dingxiang City, I will make your life a living hell.

At this moment in Dingxiang City, Chu Ning also received news that food would soon be delivered.

"Three million grains, wow, Wanying really put in a lot of effort for me this time!"

Chu Ning smiled as he looked at the letter in his hand, nodded and said, "With this batch of food, I can stay in Dingxiang City for a while longer."

Liu Shouren on the side also breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, the walls of Dingxiang are tall. As long as we have food and the current morale of our army, we will definitely win."

Chu Ning put the letter away and asked, "Lord Liu, don't be careless. How are the city defense items that I asked you to prepare?"

Facing an army of 300,000, Chu Ning did not dare to be careless at all.

Liu Shouren was also very concerned about this and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the hot oil, rolling stones and huge trees are all ready, but the thorns are a bit difficult to find. I ordered people to collect some, but not much."

"not much?"

Chu Ning frowned: "It's not much. Can't you make some yourself? Tie them up with something sharp. They will come in handy when the time comes."

"Yes, I am confused. Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness."

"Okay, send someone to prepare to receive this batch of food."

"I'm going to make arrangements now!"

For the next two days, Dingxiang City and the Zhao army camp were at peace.

Two days later, a grain transport team arrived in a mighty manner thirty miles south of Dingxiang City.

Thousands of migrant workers advanced slowly under the escort of hundreds of soldiers.

After entering Dingxiang County, the air is drier than other places, and there seems to be a sense of solemnity in the air.

In the howling autumn wind, the yellow sand danced wildly, affecting everyone's speed.

Soon, the team came to a valley, and to get through they had to go through the low-lying road.

Thousands of people slowly entered. The sky gradually darkened and the team lit torches as they moved forward.

Torches were lit up one after another, and the team slowed down.

The leading grain escort officer saw this and immediately shouted, "Everyone, work harder and try to transport the grain into the city as soon as possible."

There are still dozens of miles left. As long as we speed up our march, we will definitely reach Dingxiang City tonight.

But just as he finished speaking, wild laughter came from a distance: "Hahahaha, you can't go anywhere tonight!"

"Soldiers, go up and kill them, capture them all in one fell swoop, and bring back all the food!"

At the command, the cavalry, which had been prepared for a long time, charged forward with the sound of horse hooves.

The grain transport officer was horrified when he saw this: "Come here, defend immediately. Wang Wu, take a few people and rush to Dingxiang City for help!"

At the command, the grain transport team immediately retreated.

The leading general of the Zhao army, Ximen Bao, was the younger brother of the beheaded Ximen Hu. This time he came with a rage for revenge.

Seeing that the grain transport team dared to resist, Ximen Bao's face was full of murderous intent: "With such a small number of you, do you still want to stop me? Charge forward and kill them all!"

The cavalry surged and charged towards the grain transport team under the cover of night.

But just as they got closer, rows of sharp arrows whizzed out, and the dense arrows killed the cavalrymen on the spot!

"Huh, there are actually archers!"

Ximen Bao's eyes turned cold: "I want to see how many arrows you have, keep charging!"

At the command, the cavalry continued to charge!

On this side, Wang Wu was sent out with several cavalrymen to rush towards Dingxiang City.

But just as they passed a woods, someone on the hillside stared at them coldly.

"General, should we shoot them with arrows?" asked a Zhao soldier.

The leading general Murong Han sneered: "If we kill them, who will report the news? Besides, our goal is to ambush the enemy reinforcements, and now we are waiting for them to report the news."

"Pass the order down, brothers, get ready. Once you see the enemy coming, follow my orders and attack!"

Tonight, they will completely annihilate the Chu army and capture Dingxiang City!
