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

Chapter 509 Unstoppable!

"Come, come, General Tang, I will toast you."

At night, in the military camp, Su Cheng invited Tang Gang to come for a drink.

He held up the wine glass and took the initiative to toast.

But Tang Gang was unmoved and said calmly: "General Su, we are facing a powerful enemy, so you'd better not drink. If the general finds out, he will definitely punish you."

Su Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "General Tang, I really have no choice. Now my 20,000 brothers are leaderless and can only rely on General Yan.

But judging from General Yan's attitude, he doesn't seem to trust us, which makes me and my brothers feel uneasy."

These words made Su Cheng's mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of indifference: "In fact, this matter is very simple, you just need to obey the orders of the general."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all: "This is the only time, it won't happen again."

Su Cheng was overjoyed and quickly finished the wine in his glass, saying with a smile: "With General Tang's words, I feel much more at ease.

This is the roast chicken that I specially ordered to be brought today. Please try it, General Tang."

Looking at the fragrant roast chicken in front of him, Tang Gang, who had not eaten meat for a long time, no longer hesitated and started to eat it with relish.

Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally managed to hold this man back. Now it all depended on whether the letter could be delivered to the city.

At this moment, Su Cheng's confidant had secretly left the camp, bypassed the Yan army's patrol cavalry and came to the city wall.

He took off his longbow, tied the letter to a sharp arrow, and shot it at the city wall.

"who?"

The defenders on the city wall noticed something was wrong and immediately looked down at the city. At the same time, someone noticed that there was a letter on the sharp arrow.

The defenders did not dare to open it without permission and immediately sent someone to hand it over to Xue Huaide.

After reading the letter, Xue Huaide did not dare to delay and went to the palace in person to hand the letter to Chu Ning.

Outside the Lizheng Hall, in the courtyard.

Chu Ning was practicing his marksmanship with a spear in his hand. Even though he was sweating profusely, he had no intention of stopping.

Wu Zhao had been in labor for six hours, from morning till now, and the baby has not been born yet.

He could only practice martial arts continuously to distract himself from the situation in the palace.

But even so, he was still in great torment.

At this time, the voice of the white horse cavalry came from outside the courtyard: "Your Highness, General Xue wants to see you, saying that someone shot a letter from outside the city."

"Send it up!"

Chu Ning put away the gun and wiped the sweat from his face.

Xue Huaide came in and handed over the letter respectfully: "Your Highness, King Chu, this is a handwritten letter from General Su Cheng outside the city, and it also has the signatures of other captains."

Chu Ning took the letter and took a look at it. His face showed no joy or sadness, as if he was not surprised at all.

In his heart, Su Cheng not only expressed his feelings, but also revealed Yan Yucheng's plan to burn down Luo City.

With so many signatures and fingerprints from the officers and lieutenants, it shows great sincerity.

After reading the letter, Chu Ning nodded slightly: "Since this person has reformed, I will give him this opportunity. Come, write and prepare."

The maid brought writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.

Chu Ning immediately wrote a handwritten letter, stamped it with his own seal, and gave it to Xue Huaide: "You pass this letter out immediately."

"Yes!"

Xue Huaide did not dare to delay and immediately went down to make arrangements as he responded.

Outside the city, Su Cheng's confidant was hiding in the dark, waiting for news from inside the city with an anxious look on his face.

Half an hour later, there was a commotion on the city wall, and then a sharp arrow shot down.

The confidant's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the letter and ran towards the camp.

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, this man easily avoided the Yan army's spies and returned to the military camp.

"General, this is a reply from the city!"

"Send it over quickly!"

Su Cheng, who had already dealt with Tang Gang and returned to the military camp, was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward to take the letter.

After reading it, I laughed out loud: "What a great idea, what a great idea!"

Then he suddenly put the letter into the bonfire and burned it.

"Pass the order down, everyone prepare immediately. In one hour, the soldiers in the city will attack. When the Yan army leaves the camp to fight, our army will seize the opportunity to capture the camp and make them be attacked from both sides!"

"Yes!"

At the command, 20,000 rebels began to act.

Their actions were very covert. Although Tang Gang was monitoring them, he still didn't notice anything unusual.

An hour later, the east gate of Luo City opened and a large army marched out.

"Kill!"

"Come on!"

The mighty Zhou army rushed straight to the camp like a tiger descending from the mountain.

"No, enemy attack!"

"Beat the drum!"

"Boom~boom~boom~"

The deafening sound of drums resounded through the sky and shook the military camp, waking up the sleeping Yan soldiers. They immediately stood up, picked up their weapons outside the camp and headed towards the camp gate.

Yan Yucheng was awakened, with a gloomy face, he put on his armor and walked out of the tent, and asked in a cold voice: "What happened?"

"Reporting to the General, the enemy is attacking!"

"Humph, you're still thinking of launching a night attack? That's wishful thinking. Pass the order down. All troops should stay in the main camp and don't leave the camp to meet the enemy!"

At the order, the Yan army, which had wanted to leave the camp, suddenly became like eggplants hit by frost, thinking that the commander-in-chief did not dare to leave the camp to fight.

On the other hand, the troops of the Great Zhou, carrying on with their victory from last night, attacked frantically.

But when they were near the main camp, they were shot down by the Yan army's archers.

But the soldiers of the Great Zhou were well prepared, and under the cover of the shield bearers, they finally broke into the camp after an hour.

The camp was breached and the Yan army immediately retreated into the camp.

At this moment, shouts of killing suddenly came from the flank of the Yan army.

Suddenly, the Yan army was in chaos and could not tell where the enemy was, so they could only retreat into the camp.

Xue Huaide laughed loudly upon seeing this: "We will break through the enemy camp tonight!"

"kill!"

At the command, the troops of the Great Zhou poured into the camp like a tide.

Yan Yucheng, who was in charge of the central army, soon received the news: "General, it's bad, our army has been defeated, and the enemy is chasing us!"

"General, the Great Zhou rebels launched an attack on our flank. Our army was caught off guard and our flank was breached!"

"It's bad, General. The enemy troops have gathered together and are heading towards us!"

As news came in one after another, Yan Yucheng remained expressionless.

This made the surrounding generals very anxious.

"General, we can't hold on any longer. Let's retreat!"

"Yes, General, the Great Zhou rebels betrayed us!"

"It'll be too late if you don't leave!"

"The enemy is in high spirits, and our morale is low. It will be difficult to win this battle."

For a moment, everyone tried to persuade him.

But at this moment, Yan Yucheng smiled.

“Hahahaha~hahaha~”

The laughter grew louder and louder, and finally became a roar of laughter.
