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

"Your Highness, Le Yi has escaped with his troops!"

Chu Ning, who was leading his troops to charge, suddenly heard someone coming to report, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

run away?

Le Yi actually did not bring troops to rescue Yan Yucheng!

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, and a strange look flashed across his eyes: "I didn't expect this person to be so decisive. He knew that it was impossible to do so, so he minimized the losses."

However, since Le Yi is not coming, let’s end this battle as soon as possible!

"Pass the order, all troops charge and kill the enemy!"

"Also, notify the general and have him lead his personal soldiers to guard the rear camp to prevent Le Yi from coming back. If anything unexpected happens, I will hold him accountable!"

To be on the safe side, Chu Ning also specifically ordered General Xiahou Ren to guard the rear camp.

Le Yi is so powerful that no one knows whether he will really escape or not, so we must be prepared.

Moreover, in this way, Xiahou Ren's troops will not participate in the subsequent battle to destroy the Yan army, which will also damage his military achievements.

At the command, the Chu army was in high spirits.

With the addition of troops from the Great Zhou, the battlefield became one-sided and the Yan army was completely defeated.

Inside the camp.

Xiahou Ren, who was leading his troops in pursuit, received an order from Chu Ning.

"What? The King of Chu wants me to lead the army to guard the rear camp?"

Xiahou Ren's face changed drastically when he heard this: "With such a good situation, why did the King of Chu let me guard the camp?"

The messenger lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "This is the order of His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

After saying this, the messenger turned and left.

His responsibility was to pass on the order, and whether to execute it was up to Xiahou Ren himself.

Looking at the messenger's departing back, Xiahou Ren clenched his hands in anger, wishing he could chop the man with a sword.

But reason told him that he couldn't do that.

If the messenger is really killed, Chu Ning will definitely settle accounts with him after this battle.

The situation is now under the control of Chu Ning, and all troops are under his command. The overall situation has been decided, and no chaos can occur at this time!

Although he was unwilling to accept it in his heart, Chu Ning did win the battle.

It’s a pity that he didn’t contribute much in this battle.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Ren snorted coldly: "Send the order, guard the rear camp!"

As soon as these words came out, a general immediately became dissatisfied and said, "General, the situation on the front line is favorable to Youjun now, why don't we take advantage of the opportunity to fight over there?"

"Yes, General, the King of Chu obviously doesn't want us to achieve any merit!"

"Why don't we attack them ourselves? As long as we kill enough Yan soldiers and have military merit, I'm sure His Royal Highness the King of Chu won't dare to do anything to us!"

Everyone was talking about it, and no one wanted to give up the credit they had obtained.

This scene made Xiahou Ren even angrier.

It was obvious that these people were trained by him, but they ignored his orders in order to take credit!

Xiahou Ren, who was somewhat exasperated, glared and said, "Enough, stop talking. Don't we have any merit in guarding the rear camp?"

The generals lowered their heads and said nothing.

Everyone knows that this is a lie. How can the merit of guarding the rear camp be compared with the merit of annihilating the Yan army?

Xiahou Ren seemed to know his reason for not going, and immediately snorted: "Le Yi is running away with his men, we just need to take a shortcut and kill them, and we can still achieve success!"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and then they reacted.

Yes, as long as they catch up with Le Yi’s Yan army, they will also make contributions.

Su Cheng couldn't catch up because he didn't know the shortcut, but they had been here for several years until they were able to take a shortcut through the mountain.

Everyone who reacted immediately shouted in unison: "The general is wise!"

"Chase!"

At the command, Xiahou Ren led his troops to the rear camp.

After leaving some soldiers to guard the camp gate, he took his trusted soldiers to pursue through a shortcut.

It was already three quarters past the hour, close to noon, and with clear vision, Xiahou Ren gave frantic pursuit.

But he was so eager to pursue the enemy that he didn't even send out spies to explore the way.

Just as he rushed to the top of a mountain, he was met with a volley of sharp arrows.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Under the rain of arrows, screams were heard and Chu soldiers were shot and killed continuously.

At the same time, shouts of killing were heard all around, and Le Yi rushed out with the soldiers who were ambushed there.

Xiahou Ren was caught off guard and was horrified: "Stop them quickly!"

But they were located on the mountainside, while the Yan army was on the top of the mountain, commanding the Chu army from a high position and occupying an advantageous geographical position. In addition, because of the ambush, the Chu army was caught off guard.

In just one encounter, Xiahou Ren lost hundreds of soldiers!

Looking at the Yan army rushing down from all over the mountains, Xiahou Ren's face changed drastically: "Damn Le Yi, he actually ambushed his troops here!"

"General, we are outnumbered and cannot attack. Let's retreat!" Seeing the situation was not good, a general immediately suggested retreating.

Xiahou Ren was unwilling to give in. If he retreated like this, not only would he gain no credit, but he would also be laughed at by Chu Ning.

"Charge forward, you must rush forward!"

At this moment, Xiahou Ren went crazy. He wanted to make a last effort and annihilate the Yan army.

The Chu army rushed forward bravely, but what greeted them was a volley of sharp arrows.

Suddenly, the Chu army was beaten and scattered, and the Yan army took the opportunity to rush down, and the Chu army was immediately defeated.

"General, we can't fight anymore. The enemy is coming!"

"No, we must kill them!"

"Someone, carry the general away!"

Seeing that they could not persuade him and could not let the soldiers die here, everyone had to carry Xiahou Ren away.

On the mountain peak, Le Yi watched all this with cold eyes, but did not order a pursuit. Instead, he said in a deep voice:

"Order, the entire army retreats immediately!"

At the order, the Yan army gave up the pursuit and retreated immediately.

Le Yi's goal was to snipe the pursuing Chu army so that the Chu army would not dare to continue the pursuit.

After this battle, he believed that the Chu army would no longer dare to pursue him, so he would have the opportunity to escape with the remaining Yan army.

In this battle, he took advantage of Xiahou Ren's eagerness to make a contribution and caught the Chu army off guard.

The fight is about to start, and it is still unclear who will win.

Having gained an advantage, of course you must retreat immediately.

However, Yan Yucheng in the camp was not so lucky.

The Yan army was already being attacked from both sides and had no intention of continuing to fight. With the addition of Su Cheng's troops from the Great Zhou, the Yan army became even more defeated.

The fighting lasted from noon to afternoon. The Yan army either surrendered, was captured, or was killed. Only Yan Yucheng and some of his elite troops were fighting to the death.

Ran Ming laughed wildly upon seeing this: "Hahahaha, Your Highness, watch how I capture Yan Yucheng alive!"

Last time he let Yan Yucheng escape, this time, he must capture him!

But Chu Ning laughed out loud when he heard this: "Then you better hurry up, General Zhao Yu has already led his men to attack."

Ran Ming was stunned, and when he turned around, he found that a group of soldiers had already killed their way through the Yan army and were heading straight for Yan Yucheng.

"Don't try to compete with me!"

Ran Ming shouted angrily, rode his horse forward and charged in, killing all the Yan army with his spear.

Unfortunately, when he rushed there, he just saw Zhao Yu shooting Yan Yucheng.

"Pfft~"

Yan Yucheng flew backwards, and just as he was about to stand up, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then, Zhao Yu put his spear to his throat and said coldly: "Capture this man!"

At this point, the great general of Yan State was captured alive.

The remaining Yan troops had no intention of fighting and all surrendered.
