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

"General, it's bad. We are being attacked from behind by a group of soldiers. The brothers can't stop them. Please send troops over quickly!"

City defense camp, at the main gate.

A blood-covered Sizhou soldier knelt in front of Zhou Lecheng and shouted for help.

Zhou Lecheng, who was full of ambition and wanted to capture the city defense camp in one go, suddenly changed his expression.

He dismounted, grabbed the man by the collar, and said viciously, "What did you say? A troop of soldiers appeared behind our army?"

"Yes, it is."

"Bullshit, open your dog eyes and see, Chu Ning is about to be captured by me, how can he get reinforcements!"

Zhou Lecheng was filled with anger. He pushed the soldier to the ground, suddenly drew the sword from his waist, and roared:

"You must be a spy planted by Chu Ning in our army. You want to ruin our morale. I will kill you now to enforce military law!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his sword high and was about to chop down.

But the soldier was terrified and shouted, "General, I have followed you for several years. How could I be a spy? And there is indeed an army coming to attack us. If you don't believe me, look over there!"

Zhou Lecheng had a gloomy face and looked in the direction the soldier pointed. Sure enough, there were deafening cries of killing in that direction and the Sizhou troops were retreating continuously.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhou Lecheng asked fiercely: "What's going on? Where did the other party come from? How many people are there?"

The soldier shook his head. "I don't know who they are, but they are well-equipped, very aggressive, and all of them are skilled in martial arts. There are about three thousand of them."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Lecheng's body shook, as if he had been electrocuted, and he took several steps back.

Just from the soldiers' description, he realized that they were not soldiers from Liang Province!

Since they are not soldiers from Liang Province, where did they come from?

There are only so many soldiers and horses in Kyoto City, how could Chu Ning have more soldiers and horses!

"Impossible, this is impossible, how is this possible!"

Zhou Lecheng was furious. He suddenly grasped the sword in his right hand and roared, "I don't believe he has anyone else!"

"Come here, pass the order down, dispatch a thousand people to defend that army, and the rest of the people will attack the city defense camp with all their strength!"

He knew that a thousand people could not stop the enemy at all and could only buy time for him.

What he lacks most now is time!

As long as he could hold back the reinforcements, he could kill Chu Ning with all his strength.

Now that things have come to this, we can only kill Chu Ning first, otherwise this battle will become a stalemate.

Moreover, although the troops of Liang Province were blocked, the prince and others could not keep blocking the other side forever. Once a long time passed, the troops of Liang Province would definitely come to support them.

Time is no longer on his side!

At the command, the troops of Sizhou adjusted their deployment.

Suddenly, the pressure on the soldiers in the city defense camp increased dramatically.

"Your Highness, the enemy's attack is fierce!"

Deng Hongwen looked at Chu Ning who looked calm and said with a frown: "If this continues, the city defense camp will be breached in less than half an hour!"

But Chu Ning chuckled and said, “The fierce attack means that my reinforcements are coming, and they have to speed up the attack!

Pass the word down, reinforcements have arrived, everyone continue to hold on, and when reinforcements arrive, we can work together inside and outside to annihilate them."

"Yes!" Deng Hongwen went down to pass on the order.

Soon, everyone cheered and the morale was high. The soldiers from Liangzhou and the city defense camp in the camp were extremely excited.

Sharp arrows were whistling and shouts of killing were heard. The fighting entered its most brutal stage at this moment.

One of them attacked frantically, determined to break into the barracks in one fell swoop.

One is fighting desperately to buy time for reinforcements!

The two sides refused to give in to each other and the killing was so tragic that the sky was gloomy and the earth was miserable. The sun and moon lost their light and the scene was hazy.

But the three thousand guards from the royal palace who rushed forward were now full of energy, high in spirits, and full of vigor.

They were faced with the Sizhou soldiers who had been fighting for more than an hour, and were immediately like sheep entering a tiger's mouth, killing the thousand men and making them completely defeated.

Those who can become the palace guards are naturally carefully selected people with outstanding martial arts skills. In addition, the terrain restrictions here allow their combat effectiveness to be maximized.

With just one charge, they dispersed the thousand Sizhou soldiers and killed them so hard that they screamed in pain and had no power to resist.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, the one thousand Sizhou soldiers were completely defeated, and the palace guards rushed to the gate of the city defense camp.

"General, it's bad, the enemy is coming!"

The defeated Sizhou soldiers immediately reported to Zhou Lecheng.

Zhou Lecheng, who was personally supervising the battle, was furious when he heard this and slapped him: "Asshole, a thousand people couldn't even hold them off for half a quarter of an hour?"

"General, they are so powerful. I..."

"go to hell!"

Zhou Lecheng was furious. Without waiting for the man to finish speaking, he stabbed with the sword in his hand. The man was pierced in the chest and fell to the ground with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Whoever dares to destroy the morale of our army will suffer the same fate!"

Zhou Lecheng's face was full of ferocity, and he roared: "General Wang, you must gather the defeated troops immediately and take two thousand people to stop them!"

"Yes!" A general holding a huge axe responded, and immediately rode his horse and led his men to stop them.

But Zhou Lecheng knew that they couldn't continue fighting like this, otherwise they would die here.

The enemy's reinforcements were in high spirits, and he was unable to capture the city defense camp, so he had no choice but to ask for reinforcements!

With a fierce look in his eyes, Zhou Lecheng made a prompt decision: "Come here, notify Mr. Su immediately and ask him to bring all of us here and attack the city defense camp with all our strength!"

"Yes!" A messenger responded and rode forward to deliver the message.

On the street in the distance.

A group of soldiers dressed in black night clothes were standing ready for battle. The leader was wearing black brocade clothes and had gray hair on his temples.

He was the one who watched the battle from a high building in the beginning, and then brought everyone to block the road here in advance. He was called the gentleman.

Looking at the city defense camp in the distance with deafening roars of killing, the old man in black frowned, "Strange, why are there so many more roars of killing than before?"

As they were surprised, a cavalryman rode up to deliver a message.

"Mr. Su, General Zhou asks you to mobilize all the troops to support us!"

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Su's face changed slightly: "Why is this?"

"The King of Chu has a reinforcement force of 3,000 men, which is attacking our rear guard. Our army is completely unprepared and is being beaten back step by step."

"Three thousand reinforcements?"

Mr. Su was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to have thought of something, and a bitter smile flashed across his eyes:

"I see, I see. I never thought that despite my previous calculations, I still missed the three thousand palace guards imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice."

"King Chu, you won, and I didn't lose unfairly."

"But, now that things have come to this, I have no way out. I can only give it a try. If I can kill you today, I will have a chance of survival!"

Mr. Su took a deep breath and made a prompt decision: "Everyone, go to the city defense camp immediately to support General Zhou. We have only one goal, to break into the city defense camp and kill Chu Ning!"

"Attack the city defense camp and kill Chu Ning!" Everyone was in a rage, as if the hero would never return.

Although there were only 500 people, their aura and the murderous intent in their eyes far exceeded those of the Sizhou troops.

This is actually a group of death squads!
