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

At Chu Ning's order, Liu Shouren quickly evacuated the people and at the same time, the city gates opened.

The people played by the Chu army rushed out of the city!

Seeing this, the Zhao army, which had been lying in ambush outside the city, immediately rushed up.

They were all cavalrymen, and as they approached they loudly scolded the "people" at the city gate and even shot arrows to scatter them.

The "people" immediately dispersed to the left and right, allowing the Zhao army to easily enter the city.

But the Chu army on the city wall was not idle either. They shot arrows at the Zhao army and organized resistance inside the city.

For a moment, screams were heard everywhere and the pungent smell of blood filled the entire city gate.

The Zhao army continued to charge towards the city gate, determined to capture the south of the city in one go.

But the Chu army was not willing to be outdone. Under the command of Chu Ning, they continued to resist. For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate.

It's already bright now!

In the Zhao army's central camp, a cavalryman rode up to report: "General, our army has already entered the south of the city, but the enemy is fighting to the death and the two sides are deadlocked at the city gate!"

Murong Zhu sneered: "It seems that the spies I arranged have worked. Send a message to General Helian and ask him to lead his troops to attack the south of the city!"

"Also, the other three city gates should stop maintaining their strength and attack with all their might. I want to make sure that the enemy cannot withdraw troops to support the south of the city."

"Yes!" the cavalry responded and immediately went down to pass on the order.

Soon, a troop of 30,000 troops came to support the south of the city and joined the previous 20,000 troops, totaling 50,000 troops.

Such an astonishing offensive put a lot of pressure on the defenders on the city wall. If Chu Ning hadn't personally supervised the battle, they would have retreated long ago.

"Your Highness, it's bad. The enemy's attack is too fierce and they have already entered the city!"

"Your Highness, please leave quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave now!"

"Yes, Your Highness. If we retreat into the city now, we still have hope of repelling the enemy. You cannot stay on the city wall any longer."

Liu Shouren and a group of generals tried to persuade him.

But Chu Ning said calmly: "What are you afraid of? Since I dare to let them in, I am sure I can capture them!"

"Someone, fire the signal arrow!"

At the command, three signal arrows were launched into the air.

The troops that had just disguised themselves as civilians to leave the city gathered together immediately and began to attack on the left and right wings.

The Zhao army was caught off guard and suddenly fell into chaos!

They didn't expect that their flank would be attacked, and their formation was disrupted without any preparation.

On the city wall, Chu Ning looked at the Zhao army in chaos outside the city, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

The troops that left the city were the ten thousand prisoners he brought from Kyoto.

After this period of training, coupled with the previous rewards from the court, the mentality of these people has been completely changed, and they are now fighting particularly bravely.

As long as they killed one person, they could remove the criminal's identity, so they naturally fought desperately with the Zhao army.

Combined with the formations that Feng Mulan has been training for during this period, they can maximize their combat power!

Although there were only 10,000 people, they disrupted the formation of 50,000 people!

The morale of the Chu army on the city wall was greatly boosted when they saw this, and they immediately roared and shot arrows in support.

Outside the city, Zhao Jun's general Helian Mingyue noticed that the formation was in disarray, and he could not help but shout, "Maintain the formation immediately, General Deng, lead 10,000 men to meet the enemy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a shout of killing from behind.

Helian Mingyue's face changed and he quickly turned around to look, only to see a group of soldiers appearing behind him.

The leader holds a three-meter-long knife in his hand. Killing people is as easy as cutting vegetables. Anyone who touches him will die. He will kill gods if they get in the way, and he will kill Buddhas if they get in the way!

Not only that, but behind this troop of soldiers there was also a team of archers and crossbows, whose sharp arrows fell like rain, killing the soldiers under their command in large numbers.

Because of the sudden appearance, the Zhao army was unprepared and caught off guard in an instant. By the time they reacted, thousands of people had already fallen!

This scene shocked Helian Mingyue.

be cheated!

I was fooled!

The Marshal was fooled too!

That food is just a bait!

This army that suddenly appeared must be a team transporting food!

But when the grain transport team arrived, the team that was supposed to intercept them was nowhere to be seen. They must have been eaten by the other side.

Now, his 50,000-strong army, the vanguard of which has entered the city, has been attacked on the left and right wings and has not yet stabilized its position, and is now ambushed from behind, leaving him in a dilemma.

If the battle continues at this trend, he will surely die here, and even these 50,000 soldiers will be difficult to bring back!

"Someone, go and tell the commander to send troops to support us!"

Helian Mingyue did not dare to hesitate and immediately sent someone to ask for help.

Although the enemy came from all directions, they had 50,000 people after all. As long as they could hold out until reinforcements arrived, there was still hope of entering the city.

If we are defeated at this moment, the entire army will be wiped out!

Helian Mingyue, who knew that this battle was of great importance, made a prompt decision: "Collect the formation, and the whole army will defend!"

The troops are too scattered, and it will be disadvantageous for them to continue fighting at this rate. The best way is to gather the troops and form a defensive formation.

Soon, the Zhao army began to be under control.

Chu Ning on the city wall saw this scene and a sneer appeared on his face: "Gathering troops now? It's too late!"

"Pass the order, repel the enemy troops in the city and then fight your way out of the city. Also, archers, don't stop, keep shooting and killing the enemy troops!"

At the order, the Chu army in the city began to counterattack.

The Zhao army was about to close its formation, and the soldiers in the city retreated frantically, causing the Chu army to rush out of the city and chase them.

The Zhao army was suffering from being attacked from all sides. Outside the city, there was yellow sand everywhere and it was a plain with no strategic location to defend. Being besieged on all sides, they could only defend passively.

Helian Mingyue certainly knew that his situation was not very good, but he had an idea: use himself as bait!

As long as we hold out until reinforcements arrive, the two sides can cooperate from inside and outside. By then, we will not only be able to defeat the Chu army, but also attack the city!

Now, it depends on whether Marshal Murong Zhu can make up his mind and give it a try!

The messenger quickly passed through layers of soldiers and arrived at the center of the army.

"Report, Marshal, the enemy's grain transport team outside the city has returned, and the civilians who just left the city were disguised as enemies. The enemy and our army are attacked from both sides. General Helian asks the Marshal to send troops to support immediately!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the central army fell silent. For a moment, they found it difficult to accept such a result.

Murong Zhu was the first to react, his eyes flashed with a cold look: "If the enemy's grain transport team comes back, then our troops who went to rob grain will definitely not come back.

Humph, it seems that most of our ambushed soldiers have also suffered disaster. Chu Ning, Chu Ning, how dare you send so many people out of the city.

Very good, in that case, I will accompany you in a gamble!

Come, pass on my order, the 30,000 elite troops of the central army will immediately rush to the south of the city for support, and all the troops at the other three gates will attack the city with all their strength! "

There are only about 120,000 Chu troops in the city, but a rough calculation shows that there are already about 50,000 troops in the south of the city. Chu Ning has placed so many soldiers there and opened the city gate. He might as well just charge in!

As long as they defeat the Chu army in the south of the city and enter the city, they will be able to capture Chu Ning alive and completely take over Dingxiang City.

I will not hesitate to transfer the 30,000 elite troops around me, just for a decisive battle!

In this battle, Chu Ning has no chance of winning!
