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

Helian Kuang's scimitar flashed a dazzling cold light under the scorching sun. He looked around and found that his Scorpion cavalry was retreating step by step.

The Chu army's white horse cavalry was like a silver-white iron wall, squeezing their living space step by step.

Every second, a Scorpion warrior fell, and his blood dyed the dry land red.

"Damn it!" Helian Kuang gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

He knew that if this continued, the North Camp would be lost.

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, with a bit of madness in his laughter: "Since you want to kill me, then come! Your King Zhao of Chu was defeated by me. I don't mind having another defeated general today!"

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, fixed on Zhao Yu as he rode towards him. "However, I'm afraid you won't have Chu Kuang's luck today! If you lose this battle, you will surely die!"

Before he finished speaking, Helian kicked the horse's belly fiercely, and the warhorse neighed and rushed towards Zhao Yu.

The scimitar in his hand drew a sharp arc and went straight for Zhao Yu's throat.

Wherever the blade passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound.

Zhao Yu snorted coldly, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Today, I will avenge King Zhao!"

The spear in his hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea, heading towards Helian Kuang with the force of thunder.

"clang!"

The loud sound of metal collision hurt the eardrums of the surrounding soldiers.

The two men passed each other on horseback and then quickly turned their horses around.

Helian Kuang's scimitar was as fast as lightning, and every blow went straight to the vital point.

Zhao Yu's spear was like a spirit snake spitting out its tongue, with cold light flashing at the tip of the spear, making it impossible to defend against it.

Helian Kuang suddenly changed his tactics, and swung his scimitar at a strange angle towards Zhao Yu's waist.

Zhao Yu remained calm in the face of danger, held his spear horizontally, and accurately blocked the fatal blow.

The two weapons collided, sparks flying. Helian Kuang used the force to push the blade upwards, aiming straight at Zhao Yu's face.

At the critical moment, Zhao Yu leaned back suddenly and the blade brushed past his nose.

He immediately counterattacked, and his spear stabbed out like a poisonous snake, straight into Helian Kuang's chest.

Helian Kuang dodged sideways in a hurry, but the tip of the gun still left a deep scratch on his shoulder armor.

"What a fast gun!"

Helian Kuang was secretly shocked, but a ferocious smile appeared on his face: "Interesting! Only then can he be my opponent!"

The two men clashed again, their horses neighing and dust flying.

Helian Kuang's swordsmanship became more and more violent, and each strike had the power to split mountains and crack rocks.

Zhao Yu took steady steps, his spear skills flowing like clouds and water, neutralizing Helian Kuang's attacks one by one.

While the two were fighting fiercely, inside the central army tent, Li Shiming was listening to the report from the Scorpion Clan's messenger.

The messenger knelt on one knee, his voice trembling: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Tang, the Chu army's attack in the north is fierce, and our army cannot withstand it! The leader ordered me to come here to request reinforcements!"

Li Shiming's brow furrowed, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the armrest. "Didn't you set up an ambush outside? And the Scorpion Cavalry are known for their bravery. Why couldn't they hold on?"

The messenger's forehead was covered in sweat: "This Chu cavalry... They all ride white war horses, hold long spears, and their fighting power is extremely fierce.

Even more terrifying is that their armor is impenetrable; our weapons are powerless to penetrate it, while their spears can easily pierce our leather armor."

Li Shiming's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up abruptly: "White Horse Cavalry? Chu Ning actually placed this elite force in the north!"

He paced back and forth for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Go back and tell Chief Helian that I will send reinforcements immediately and tell him to hold on!"

The messenger kowtowed repeatedly as if he had been pardoned: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

However, he failed to see that the moment he turned around, a gleam of light flashed in Li Shiming's eyes and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

On the battlefield, the battle between Helian Kuang and Zhao Yu has reached a fever pitch.

Helian Kuang suddenly changed his tactics, sweeping his scimitar across like a whirlwind, forcing Zhao Yu to retreat repeatedly.

He seized the opportunity, leaped up from his horse, and swung his scimitar towards Zhao Yu's head with the force of thunder.

Zhao Yu remained calm in the face of danger, held his spear horizontally, and took the heavy blow head-on.

With a loud "clang" sound, the warhorse under Zhao Yu's crotch was shocked and retreated several steps.

Helian Kuang took advantage of the situation and immediately rolled over after landing, sweeping his scimitar across the front legs of Zhao Yu's horse.

At the critical moment, Zhao Yu suddenly pulled the reins, and the warhorse raised its front hooves, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

He took the opportunity to counterattack, and his spear, like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, went straight for Helian Kuang's throat. Helian Kuang hastily raised his knife to block, but the shock of the spear made his palm numb.

"What a strong force!" Helian Kuang was secretly shocked.

He looked around and found that the Scorpion Cavalry had been defeated and the White Horse Cavalry were gradually surrounding them.

In desperation, he decided to take a risk. He suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and threw it at Zhao Yu's back when they passed by.

Zhao Yu seemed to have eyes on his back. Without even turning his head, he fired a shot with his backhand, accurately knocking the dagger away.

He sneered, "Even the dignified leader of the Scorpion Clan would resort to such despicable tactics?"

Helian Kuang grinned and said, "On the battlefield, the one who survives is the winner!"

He lunged forward again, his scimitar swinging with impenetrable force. Zhao Yu responded calmly, his spear skills becoming increasingly fierce.

The two of them exchanged more than thirty moves in a blink of an eye.

Gradually, Helian Kuang's offensive began to slow down.

After all, he is nearly fifty years old and his physical strength is not as good as Zhao Yu, who is in his prime.

In a moment of carelessness, Zhao Yu's spear came out of the cave like a poisonous dragon and pierced Helian Kuang's chest.

Helian Kuang barely turned sideways, but the tip of the gun still left a bloody mark on his ribs.

"Ah!" Helian Kuang roared in pain and swung the scimitar in his hand even more wildly.

But Zhao Yu had seen through his tricks, and his shooting skills became more and more accurate.

Finally, after a subtle feint, Zhao Yu's spear shot out like lightning, piercing Helian Kuang's throat directly.

Helian Kuang widened his eyes and looked at the spear that pierced his neck in disbelief.

He wanted to say something, but all he could make was a "gurgling" sound of blood foam.

Until his death, he never received reinforcements from the Tang army.

He didn't understand why the Tang army chose to abandon him when he brought people to help them.

As long as they send troops to support them now, they will have a chance to win!

Unfortunately, he will never be able to see all this again.

Zhao Yu drew his gun coldly, and Helian Kuang's body fell to the ground with a bang.

"Helian Kuang is dead!" Zhao Yu raised the blood-stained spear high, and his voice was like thunder.

This shout was like a thunderclap, and the already demoralized Scorpion Cavalry instantly collapsed, throwing away their armor and weapons and fleeing in all directions.

Zhao Yu immediately ordered: "Team one, pursue the remaining enemies, team two, set fire to the camp!"

The White Horse Cavalry quickly split up and soon, huge fires broke out everywhere in the North Camp, and thick smoke rose into the sky.

This decisive victory opened the door for the Chu army to the center of the Tang army.
