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

Chapter 159 A surprise attack kills the general!

Murong Zhu's face was gloomy.

I was also a little nervous inside.

In such a big battle, Chu Ning actually hid a cavalry unit.

Logically speaking, seeing the situation in the south of the city, Chu Ning should have sent out the cavalry to fight.

But after fighting for a day and a night, the cavalry has not appeared yet.

If this army is not found, it will become a serious threat.

At the command, the Zhao army immediately took action, frantically searching for traces of the cavalry around the battlefield.

Half an hour later, a scout came to report: "General, the soldiers and horses that our army ambushed were completely wiped out. According to the situation at the scene, they were annihilated by the enemy cavalry."

Murong Zhu frowned upon hearing this: "Leaving the city? But why is there no trace of them outside the city?"

This cavalry unit has several thousand men, which is no small number. Once they appear on the battlefield as a surprise force, they will definitely have unexpected effects.

Are they preparing to launch a surprise attack at the critical moment of the attack on the other three city gates?

Or launch an attack in the south of the city?

Murong Zhu's face showed a trace of anxiety: "Search, keep searching, we must find them!"

"Also, send a message to the generals, telling them to hurry up and attack the city!"

"Also, transfer another 20,000 troops from the central army to the south of the city. They must reunite with General Helian as soon as possible!"

In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Murong Zhu decided to take a risk and transfer the soldiers who were guarding him.

In this way, the number of troops in the south of the city will reach a terrifying 100,000, which is twice the strength of the Chu army.

And Murong Zhu only has ten thousand people left by his side!

Murong Zhu was not worried about his own safety. They were in the north of the entire battlefield, and there was no Chu army that could threaten them.

Besides, Chu Ning can hardly protect himself at the moment, so where can he find troops to threaten his safety?

At the order, the Zhao army launched a fierce attack.

The defenders at the three city gates felt tremendous pressure, but they had no choice but to grit their teeth and hold on.

Fortunately, the sky had darkened at this moment, obstructing the view of the attackers. In addition, the city walls were covered with thorns, which greatly increased the difficulty of the siege.

As for the south of the city, Dongfang Kuang finally cleared the iron nails and charged with the cavalry.

But he was facing the Modao team and the Liannu team led by Guan Yun!

The powerful Mo Dao showed great power at this moment. The Mo Dao soldiers in the front kept charging and killing, which hindered the speed of the Zhao cavalry and made it impossible to take advantage of the charge.

The archers at the back were holding Zhuge Crossbows and shot rows of sharp arrows at the cavalry at the rear, causing chaos in the enemy camp.

Seeing this, Zhuge Mingyue sneered: "Let's charge forward together and cooperate with General Dongfang to catch them all in one fell swoop!"

At the same time, 10,000 soldiers and horses came to support from the flank!

This scene was seen clearly by Chu Ning on the city wall.

"Murong Zhu has sent in more troops!"

Chu Ning sneered: "Pass the order down, my guards and the soldiers guarding the city wall will leave the city immediately to meet the enemy!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Shouren's face changed drastically: "Your Highness, this... this won't work. If there is no one guarding the city gate, if the enemy rushes in, who will resist? Not to mention your safety..."

Chu Ning waved his hand to interrupt and said, "The enemy troops are all outside the city. It is actually the safest place inside the city. As long as they can stop the enemy's attack, my safety will naturally be safe."

Liu Shouren still wanted to say something, but Chu Ning snorted coldly: "Follow the order!"

Helpless Liu Shouren could only give orders, and the palace guards and the soldiers guarding the city immediately rushed out of the city to provide support, leaving only a dozen people to protect Chu Ning.

For a while, the battlefield in the south of the city was filled with the sound of killing, and it was divided into several small battlefields, where the killing was fierce and the sky was dark.

Murong Zhu, who was commanding the central army, soon received the news.

Hearing that Chu Ning had sent out all the defenders in the city, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that he has no other choice. Pass the order down, all troops should intensify the siege and send all the reserve troops up!"

As long as we can crush this last straw in the south of the city and break into Dingxiang City, this battle will be over!

At the command, the siege became more intense. With the continuous influx of troops from the Zhao army, the three city gates were in danger.

Some Zhao soldiers had even climbed onto the city walls, and soldiers from both sides began fighting for the city walls.

The war entered a white-hot stage at this moment. Soldiers fell down almost every moment, and the bright red blood dyed the city walls red and spread all over the ground!

But amidst the deafening cries of killing, a cavalry unit quietly took a detour for more than ten hours and finally arrived at the military camp behind the Zhao army.

The leader is none other than Zhao Yu!

Zhao Yu, who had been waiting for more than ten hours, finally showed up.

At this moment, they rode their horses and held torches in their hands to wipe out all the soldiers left behind in the Zhao army camp, and the surrounding area was full of flammable materials.

"General Zhao, there are only 3,000 enemy soldiers left, and they have been completely wiped out by our army!"

"Very good, set fire to their camp, and then immediately charge at the enemy's center!"

At Zhao Yu's command, everyone threw the torches in their hands into the tent.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky!

At this moment, the White Horse Cavalry rode out and headed straight for the Zhao army's center.

Murong Zhu, who was commanding the troops, was very proud of himself. He was imagining that after winning the battle, he would secure the position of commander-in-chief and return to the court to receive rewards.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a soldier came to report: "Marshal, it's bad, our barracks is on fire!"

Murong Zhu's face changed drastically and he quickly turned around to look. Sure enough, he found that a raging fire was burning in the military camp behind him.

"Who did this?"

"It's... it's the Chu cavalry. They are charging towards us now."

"What, Zhao Yu is coming to me?"

Murong Zhu's face changed drastically. Only then did he understand why Chu Ning had been hiding this kind of cavalry. It turned out that the purpose was for him.

"Pass the order down, the central army will gather their formation, and also send someone to ask for reinforcements immediately!"

Murong Zhu acted promptly and immediately organized his troops to set up a defensive formation.

Most of the troops in the central army were transferred away, leaving only 10,000 infantrymen. The only way to stop the cavalry was to defend.

But just as he finished his words, he heard the roar of war horses coming from afar, and what came into view was a snow-white color, which looked particularly dazzling under the torches.

The leader, Zhao Yu, rode his horse forward and swept his spear left and right, turning dozens of Zhao soldiers into dead souls.

The white horse cavalry behind him was like a sharp arrow, charging in before the Zhao army could form a defensive formation!

The cavalry charged into the infantry camp as if they were in an empty space, killing the Zhao army and causing them to scream in pain, with corpses strewn all over the ground.

And Zhao Yu set his sights on Murong Zhu!

Although it was night, there was a large flag next to Murong Zhu. This flag representing the Zhao army could not be lost. As long as you kept your eyes on this flag, you could find Murong Zhu.

Zhao Yu, who was skilled and courageous, was like a god of death. He fired his spear continuously, killing Murong Zhu's personal soldiers in front of him and causing them to fall to the ground one after another.

"Humph, do you think you can kill me alone?"

Murong Zhu was also a martial artist. When he saw Zhao Yu rushing towards him alone, he immediately became furious and picked up his spear to stab him!

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu sneered, pulled out the pistol from the bag behind him with his left hand and threw it out, forcing Murong Zhu to swing the gun to block.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Yu rushed forward and stabbed him hard with a gun!

Murong Zhu's face changed drastically, his body fell backwards, and the spear rushed out in front of his face.

Just when Murong Zhu thought he had escaped, Zhao Yu changed his tactics in mid-air and swung his spear downwards!

"boom!"

The powerful force knocked Murong Zhu and his horse to the ground, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of Murong Zhu's mouth.

Murong Zhu just stood up, but Zhao Yu came with his spear and cut off his head in an instant!

Zhao Yu reached out and grabbed the head, holding it high and shouting, "Murong Zhu is dead, quickly deal with this group of people and go to support His Highness!"

The battle here is stress-free; the greatest pressure at the moment is in the south of the city.

Zhao Yu was very worried. If the south of the city could not be defended, Chu Ning would be in danger!
