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

In the West Mountain Canyon, the sound of fighting was deafening.

Li Ge rode on a snow-white warhorse, his silver armor stained with blood, his Fang Tian Hua Ji pointed diagonally at the ground, and he sneered at Chu Ning who was surrounded.

The remaining Chu army formation was broken up, and 30,000 of them were trapped in the center of the canyon by 50,000 Tang cavalry.

In the distance, smoke and dust were billowing. Eighty thousand Wei troops were coming from the east, and it seemed that they had completely cut off the Chu army's escape route.

"Chu Ning, you are nothing more than that."

Li Ge raised the corner of his mouth in a sarcastic arc, and his voice was loud, echoing between the valleys.

"Everyone praised you so highly, but today, weren't you completely routed by me?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Tang army soldiers burst into laughter, and their swords and shields struck each other, making a deafening mocking sound.

Zhao Yu, the general beside Chu Ning, was furious and shouted, "Li Ge! If it weren't for your despicable sneak attack, how could our army be defeated? How dare you, a prince of the Tang Dynasty, do such a despicable thing!"

Li Ge scoffed, his eyes filled with contempt. "Warfare is all about deception. If you're defeated, you should admit defeat. What can you change with just your words?"

He looked down at Chu Ning with an arrogant tone, "Chu Ning, considering that you are the king of a country, if you kneel down and surrender in public, I will spare your life and take you back to Chang'an to await the judgment of my father."

"If not-"

His eyes suddenly turned cold, and he swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji fiercely, a cold light flashing: "I will kill him without mercy!"

"Kneel down and you will not be killed! If you resist, you will be executed without mercy!"

Fifty thousand Tang soldiers roared in unison, the sound was like a tide, shaking the valley and echoing, as if Chu Ning's life and death was in their hands.

However, Chu Ning only sneered, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "Li Ge, are you so sure that you can capture me today?"

Li Ge laughed heartily and pointed at the remnants of Chu Ning's army. "Your army has been routed, and you only have 30,000 men with you. I have 50,000 elite soldiers surrounding you, and 80,000 Wei troops outside. You can't escape!"

"is it?"

Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile, "Then today I will teach you what 'the art of war is all about deception' means!"

Li Ge was about to make a few more sarcastic remarks when suddenly—

"Rumble--"

The earth trembles!

From high up in the western canyon, there suddenly came a low and shocking sound of horse hooves, like rolling thunder, getting closer and closer!

"What's going on?" Li Ge turned his head suddenly, his pupils shrinking suddenly.

On the hillside on the west side of the canyon, a group of black-armored cavalry swept down like a hurricane, their iron hooves crushing the rocks and their horses neighing like thunder. The leading general was wearing wolf-head armor and holding a 10-foot-long spear. He was none other than the famous Chu general - Ma Chao!

"Canglang Legion, charge!" Ma Chao roared, pointing his spear at the flank of the Tang army.

"Kill!" Ten thousand Gray Wolf cavalrymen rushed into the Tang army formation like a torrent, instantly tearing a gap!

The Tang army was caught off guard, and chaos instantly broke out on its flanks. The Canglang cavalry were all elite warriors with hundreds of battles under their belts, their horses covered in armor, their knights wielding long spears. Their charge was like a landslide, and the Tang infantry could not withstand it at all. In an instant, they were overwhelmed and thrown to the ground!

"Hold on! Form a defensive formation!" Li Ge shouted, but it was too late.

Ma Chao took the lead, his spear as sharp as a dragon. Wherever he passed, the Tang army soldiers fell off their horses one after another.

He locked his gaze on Li Ge and laughed wildly, "Little Li Ge, do you dare to fight me?!"

Li Ge was furious and was about to fight when his deputy, Pei Xingjian, hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Highness! The enemy has suddenly attacked and our formation is in disarray. We must not continue to fight!"

However, just when the Tang army was in chaos.

At the entrance of the eastern canyon, 80,000 Wei troops were charging in with great momentum. Le Jing led the charge, shouting:

"Capture Chu Ning alive!"

However, just as the Wei army was about to rush into the canyon.

"boom!"

The ground suddenly collapsed!

The Wei cavalry at the front instantly fell into the pit, their horses neighed, and the men and horses fell to the ground!

"There's an ambush!" Le Jing was horrified and quickly reined in his horse.

However, it was too late.

"Modao team, form up!"

A cold shout was heard, and on the high slope on the east side of the canyon, an army wearing heavy armor and holding ten-foot-long Mo Dao suddenly appeared!

The leading general was tall and strong with a stern face. He was none other than the fierce general of Chu State - Guan Yun!

"Kill!" Guan Yun gave an order, and five thousand Modao soldiers stepped forward in unison, their swords like a forest, flashing cold light!

The Wei cavalry had already started charging and had no time to stop. The front row of cavalry ran directly into the Modao formation and were instantly chopped down!

"Pfft!"

The Mo Dao swung and slashed, and both the men and horses were killed!

The charge of the Wei cavalry was abruptly interrupted, and hundreds of cavalry in the front row were chopped into meat paste in an instant, and the ground was dyed red with blood!

"What kind of army is this?" Le Jing was horrified.

The Modao troops advanced step by step, their blades unstoppable! The Wei army's formation was thrown into chaos, and the soldiers retreated in fear, trampling countless people!

In the middle of the canyon, Chu Ning watched the Tang and Wei armies being defeated one after another, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Li Ge, now, do you still think you can capture me?"

Li Ge's face turned pale. He never expected that Chu Ning would set an ambush here!

"Retreat! The entire army retreats!" Li Ge gritted his teeth and ordered, and the Tang army broke out hastily to the west.

However, Ma Chao's Canglang cavalry had already cut off their retreat, and the Tang army suffered heavy casualties!

On the other side, the Wei army was also defeated by Guan Yun's Modao team, and Le Jing had to order a retreat.

Chu Ning slowly drew his sword and pointed it directly at Li Ge: "All troops, listen to my order! Counterattack!"

"kill!"

The morale of the Chu army, which was originally besieged, was greatly boosted and they launched a crazy counterattack!

The Tang and Wei armies were completely routed, abandoning their weapons and armor and fleeing in panic!

Li Ge barely managed to break out of the encirclement under the desperate protection of his personal guards. Before leaving, he turned back and stared at Chu Ning, his eyes full of resentment:

"Chu Ning, I will avenge you today!"

Chu Ning smiled coldly: "Want to escape? Can you escape?"

As the sun sets, corpses are scattered all over the valley of Xishan Mountain and blood flows like a river.

In this battle, the Chu army turned defeat into victory!

Li Ge led the remaining troops to break out hastily to the west, with the Canglang Iron Cavalry pursuing them relentlessly behind them and a narrow mountain road in front of them.

He gritted his teeth and whipped his horse, and the warhorse neighed and rushed forward. As long as they could cross this canyon, they would be able to escape!

however--

"boom!"

A black-armored army stood in front of them like an iron wall, completely blocking the retreat!

Li Ge reined in his horse suddenly, his pupils shrinking suddenly.

In the middle of the mountain path, a scholar in a black robe stood still like a deep abyss with a stern face. It was none other than the number one strategist of the Chu State - Jia Yu!

Jia Yu slowly raised his hand and pointed at Li Ge, his voice as cold as a knife: "This is the man who insulted Your Majesty in public."

"kill."

As soon as the word fell, murderous intent suddenly arose!

"Kill!" The black-armored army surged in like a tide, instantly overwhelming Li Ge's guards! Between the flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers, blood splattered, and screams were heard.

Li Ge roared and brandished his halberd to fight, but the soldiers around him fell one after another. In the end, he was the only one left standing alone in the sea of corpses and blood!

"Li Ge, you lost." Jia Yu walked slowly towards him with an indifferent look in his eyes.

Li Ge gripped his Fang Tian Hua Ji tightly, his eyes burning with anger. "A mere strategist, are you qualified to stop me?"

Jia Yu sneered: "How dare a defeated general talk about courage?"

Before he finished speaking, the black-armored soldiers around him were slowly approaching, with spears like a forest and cold light flashing!

Li Ge gritted his teeth, feeling desperate, but still refused to surrender.

"Take him away." Jia Yu waved his hand, and the soldiers rushed forward and pinned Li Ge to the ground!

"Chu Ning! Jia Yu! How dare you humiliate me like this?" Li Ge struggled frantically, roaring to the sky.

Jia Yu looked down at him condescendingly and said calmly, "Those who humiliate others will always be humiliated."

"Take him back to the camp and await your Majesty's decision!"
