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

Inside the Tang army camp, the spy hurried to Li Shiming, knelt on one knee, and said in a hurried voice:

"Your Majesty! My Xuanjia Army has been blocked by the Chu Army's Xiliang Iron Cavalry and is unable to break through to their center!

General Qin Qiong is engaged in a fierce battle with the Emperor of Chu, but our soldiers are being overwhelmed by the Xiliang cavalry, suffering heavy casualties!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shiming's face darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Chu Ning...was actually prepared in advance!"

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry.

However, as the king of a country, he knew that the battlefield was changing rapidly and he could not act on impulse.

"Come here!" He suddenly raised his head and shouted sternly: "Send the signal immediately and order Qin Qiong to withdraw his troops!"

Now is not the time to hesitate. Once Qin Qiong and the Xuanjia Army encounter an accident, the morale of the Tang Army will surely plummet.

At that time, Chu Ning will definitely pursue the victory!

He can't give Chu Ning any chance!

"Yes!"

The messenger quickly drew his bow and arrow, and two rockets roared into the sky, drawing a dazzling red light on the evening sky.

On the battlefield, Qin Qiong was fighting fiercely with Chu Ning, waving his two maces like a storm, and each strike contained a tremendous force.

Chu Ning relied on his agile body movements and wielded his spear like a silver snake, sometimes stabbing, sometimes sweeping, and the two fought to a stalemate.

However, the surrounding Tang soldiers had already sensed the retreat signal, and someone shouted loudly:

"General! His Majesty orders us to retreat!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qiong suddenly used his mace to force Chu Ning back. He looked up at the sky and saw two rockets slowly falling.

Although he felt unwilling, the military order was as firm as a mountain, so he could only grit his teeth and glare at Chu Ning: "You're lucky today! See you another day, and I will take your head!"

Chu Ning sneered: "Did I ever tell you to leave?"

Qin Qiong laughed heartily, his eyes still filled with murderous intent. "I want to leave, can you stop me?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly smashed down with his two maces, and the whistling sound of the wind forced Chu Ning to dodge sideways.

Qin Qiong took advantage of the situation and turned his horse around, shouting, "Retreat!"

The Xuanjia Army, which had long been unable to hold on, seemed to have been pardoned and immediately followed Qin Qiong to retreat towards the Tang army camp.

However, would Chu Ning let them leave so easily?

"Want to go?"

Chu Ning's eyes flashed coldly, and he waved his spear: "Xiliang Iron Cavalry, follow me and chase them down!"

"kill--!"

Amidst the deafening shouts and cries of killing, Chu Ning took the lead and led the Xiliang cavalry forward like a hurricane.

Although the Tang army retreated quickly, the two sides were already entangled with each other, and it was impossible for the Tang army to withdraw instantly. In a blink of an eye, the Xiliang cavalry caught up with the Xuanjia Army that fell behind.

"Pfft!"

Chu Ning swept his spear across, and a Tang cavalryman fell off his horse, blood splattering.

The Western Liang cavalry followed closely behind, thrusting with their spears and slashing with their swords. The Tang soldiers fell one after another, and screams were heard everywhere.

Qin Qiong turned around and saw this, his eyes bloodshot, and roared: "Form a formation! Archers provide cover!"

The Tang army archers quickly drew their bows and arrows, and a rain of arrows whistled towards the pursuers like locusts.

However, the Xiliang cavalry were wearing heavy armor, and most of the arrows were bounced off, and only a few cavalrymen were shot and fell off their horses.

Chu Ning sneered and continued to lead his troops to charge, not giving the Tang army any chance to breathe.

"Damn it!" Qin Qiong gritted his teeth, secretly hating himself: "If this continues, the Xuanjia Army will suffer a heavy blow!"

He reined in his horse suddenly and shouted, "My personal guards, follow me and cover the rear!"

Dozens of elite guards immediately turned their horses around and headed towards Chu Ning together with Qin Qiong.

The two sides engaged in close combat again. Qin Qiong wielded his two maces wildly, blocking Chu Ning's pursuit.

However, the attack of the Western Liang cavalry was too fierce, and the Tang army continued to fall, with blood staining the retreat road red.

At the same time, to the north of the Tang army camp, a white torrent was rushing towards them with the force of thunder - it was the white horse cavalry led by the Chu army general Zhao Yu!

"Rumble--"

The sound of horse hooves shook the earth, and the white horse cavalry swept in like an avalanche.

The Scorpion soldiers outside the Tang Army's northern camp had already set a trap, but Zhao Yu was well prepared. The vanguard cavalry, holding long spears, accurately removed the trip wires, and the subsequent cavalry poured into the camp like a tide.

"kill!"

Zhao Yu swung his long sword and spear, and the white horse cavalry instantly rushed into the enemy formation, with swords flashing and blood splattering.

The war horses neighed and the swords flashed like snow.

Zhao Yu took the lead, and the white horse cavalry was like a silver-white torrent, crashing into the Scorpion cavalry's formation.

"kill--"

The Scorpion Cavalry roared and charged forward, their scimitars gleaming coldly under the scorching sun.

They grew up on horseback and had superb riding skills. At this moment, they were even more ferocious, with their blades pointing directly at the throats of the White Horse Cavalry.

However, as soon as they started fighting, the Scorpion Cavalry realized something was wrong - the White Horse Cavalry's armor was too hard!

"clang!"

A scorpion warrior slashed his scimitar at the breastplate of the white horse cavalryman, but only a string of sparks flew out, and the blade was actually bent by the shock.

Before he could be surprised, the white horse cavalryman's spear had already pierced out like a poisonous snake, and pierced through his chest with a "swish".

Blood splattered as the scorpion cavalry fell off their horses and were instantly trampled into a pulp by the following iron hooves.

"Form a formation! Don't disperse!"

Helian Kuang roared angrily and swung his sword to chop down a white horse cavalryman who was charging towards him, but more white cavalrymen were already coming like a tide.

The Scorpion Cavalry tried to maneuver with their agile movements, but the White Horse Cavalry cooperated very well. The front row blocked with shields, while the back row thrust with spears. Every charge was like a hammer hitting eggs, crushing the Scorpion's defense line.

"what!"

A scorpion warrior roared and leaped up, trying to jump onto the white horse cavalry's horse to fight in close combat.

However, Zhao Yu was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He swept his spear across, and blood spurted out in the air. The scorpion warrior's head and body were separated before he even hit the ground.

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!" Zhao Yu shouted fiercely. No one could stop the blade.

Helian Kuang's eyes were bloodshot, and he personally led his guards to charge, waving his scimitar like a whirlwind, and actually killed three white horse cavalrymen in a row.

However, he soon discovered that his own guards were falling at an alarming rate.

The armor of the White Horse Cavalry was nearly invulnerable to swords and spears, while the leather armor of the Scorpion Clan was like paper in front of the enemy's spears.

"Puff puff!"

The sound of spears piercing bodies continued, and the Scorpion cavalry fell off their horses one after another.

Helian Kuang gritted his teeth and fought to the death. He slashed the throat of an enemy cavalryman with his scimitar, and blood sprayed all over his face. But before he could catch his breath, three spears stabbed at him from different angles!

"Dang! Dang!" He barely blocked two of the bullets, but the third one pierced his shoulder fiercely.

Helian Kuang groaned, cut off the spear shaft with a backhanded blow, and roared: "Come on!!"

However, in response to him, more spears came stabbing like a forest.

"Block it! Block it for me!"

The Scorpion leader Helian roared angrily and slashed two fleeing soldiers with his sword, his face ferocious.

"This is what will happen to anyone who dares to retreat!"

However, morale had collapsed, and the Scorpion soldiers were unable to withstand the charge of the White Horse Cavalry.

Helian Kuang gritted his teeth and shouted sternly, "Quick! Go report to the Tang Emperor and request reinforcements!"

A trusted confidant took the order and rode away at full speed.

Helian Kuang led the remaining guards to fight to the death, still holding a glimmer of hope in his heart:

"As soon as the Tang army's reinforcements arrive, we will be able to turn defeat into victory!"

However, would Zhao Yu give him a chance?

"Helian Kuang!" Zhao Yu shouted coldly, pointing his spear straight at him: "Today is the day you die!"
