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

"kill!"

Under the cover of night, a shout of "kill" marked the beginning of a fierce battle.

In order to protect Cao Zhi from escaping the Han Dynasty, Dian Wei had to personally lead his troops into the woods.

As long as they get rid of the troublesome troops in front of them, they can pass through here quickly.

The guard holding the halberd was filled with a surge of energy, his eyes were red, and he was determined to fight, and he rushed into the woods like a sudden force.

"Humph, you really want to fight like a trapped beast!"

The bright voice in the woods sneered: "Someone, shoot!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Dense swarms of sharp arrows whizzed out, and the Wei soldiers who rushed forward fell down one after another.

But even so, the people behind immediately rushed forward.

They wanted to take advantage of the archers changing arrows to kill them!

The guard held a long spear in his hand and waved it continuously, rolling aside the sharp arrows, while his body continued to rush into the woods.

But just as he was about to approach the woods, a loud bang was heard.

When I looked up, I saw a huge rock rolling down!

"No, they are well prepared!"

Dian Wei reacted and shouted angrily: "Be careful of the boulders, get out of the way, get out of the way quickly!"

Relying on his martial arts, he dodged easily with a flash of his body, but the Wei army behind him suffered. Those who failed to dodge were smashed to death by the huge stones.

Amid the screams, the Wei army was in panic and their formation was in disarray.

Just at this moment, another sharp arrow was shot out from the woods.

"what!"

"Oh no, they're shooting arrows again!"

"Shield bearer, raise your shield quickly!"

The scene was in chaos and the Wei army had no way of rushing into the woods.

This scene made Dian Wei very angry. He let out a long roar and rushed into the woods alone.

But after taking only two steps, his feet suddenly went weak and his body fell down involuntarily.

trap!

Dian Wei was so angry that he slammed the long spear in his hand against the earth wall beside him and jumped up with the force.

But just after getting out of the trap, a huge net suddenly appeared above his head!

"Damn it!"

The guard swung his halberd and broke the huge net into pieces.

Before he could even catch his breath after landing, sharp arrows whizzed towards him.

Even Dian Wei, a top-notch master, couldn't help but change his expression at this moment, and he quickly turned around and went behind a big tree.

"Knock, knock, knock~" Dozens of sharp arrows shot onto the big tree, making sounds.

Dian Wei was scared and just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard a whistling sound above his head.

Looking up, I saw a huge tree falling from the sky!

There are also traps!

Dian Wei's face changed drastically. He didn't dare to stay where he was. He immediately turned around and ran out madly.

But at this time, another sharp arrow came from behind!

When I heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air coming from behind me, I knew it was the archer shooting an arrow without turning around.

The guard did not even turn his head, but swung the long spear in his hand behind him, and most of the sharp arrows were caught and swept away.

But two sharp swords also pierced his back and shoulders!

Fortunately, he was protected by armor, so although he was injured, it was not fatal.

With a muffled groan, Dianwei quickened his pace and left.

Arriving at the official road, Dian Wei looked at Cao Zhi, who had a gloomy face, and said with a guilty look: "Your Highness, I am incompetent and failed to rush forward."

Cao Zhi was about to start cursing, but Liu Ye beside him noticed the sharp sword on Dian Wei's body.

"Is the Dianwei General injured?"

Liu Ye's face changed drastically, and he asked hurriedly: "How many people are there in there who could have injured General Dianwei?"

Dian Wei looked dejected: "I didn't find out the exact number of people inside, and I encountered a series of traps as soon as I entered, and I almost died in them."

"However, judging from the number of their sharp arrows, there are definitely no more than a thousand of them!"

Hearing that Dian Wei almost died in there, Cao Zhi's face changed: "So, they really came prepared!"

At this moment, Cao Zhi felt a little desperate.

Although the enemy was not numerous, the traps set up in advance and the archers made it difficult for them to deal with.

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

After a moment, Liu Ye's face turned cold: "Your Highness, we can't go on like this, otherwise we will all die here!"

"How about this, I and the general will stay here, and you can lead your soldiers to go out."

"Although there are traps ahead, as long as we are willing to sacrifice some people, we will know where the traps are and we can pass through them by simply avoiding them."

"But in order to prevent the enemy from pursuing us, General Dianwei and I must stay!"

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to make a decision.

Staying behind to cover their retreat would mean a high risk of death, but in order to save Cao Zhi, they had no choice but to do so.

Cao Zhi hesitated for a moment, then his eyes turned cold and he said fiercely: "You two, you must return safely. I will wait for you in the capital!"

"If something unfortunate happens, I will definitely treat your family well!"

After saying this, Cao Zhi took a deep breath, suppressed his inner emotions, and shouted: "Personal soldiers, follow me!"

"The others will be led by General Dianwei and stay behind to cover our retreat and prevent the enemy from pursuing us!"

After saying this, he bowed to the two of them, then rushed forward escorted by his personal guards.

But then, there were continuous screams and neighing of war horses.

The personal guards used their bodies to pave the way for Cao Zhi!

In the woods, Su Cheng watched all this coldly with a slight smile on his face.

"Everything is just as His Royal Highness the King of Chu expected. Cao Zhi will do anything to escape!"

"Pass the order, shoot!"

At the command, the surrounding soldiers immediately drew their bows and arrows and shot at Cao Zhi who was trying to break out.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

"Oh no, there are more archers here!"

"Protect His Highness quickly!"

Cao Zhi's personal soldiers were very loyal. They surrounded Cao Zhi, formed a human wall, and used their bodies to block the sharp arrows for him.

Amid screams, the bodyguards continued to fall.

Cao Zhi had a gloomy face.

At this moment, he regretted it very much!

I regret why I provoked Chu Ning!

He regretted even more why he robbed Chu Ning's banknotes.

If he hadn't done these things, wouldn't the soldiers around him have died now?

If he and Chu Ning lived in peace, would the scene be completely different?

Looking at his personal soldiers who kept falling, Cao Zhi was furious!

"Go back, go back quickly!"

The road ahead is long, and he doesn't know how many traps are waiting for him.

The archers on both sides of the woods were still shooting arrows, and the number of soldiers around him was decreasing. If he didn't retreat, he would be left alone!

But the captain of the guards beside him yelled at this time: "Your Highness, you can't retreat. If you retreat now, you will never be able to get out again!"

"But……"

"Protect His Highness to break through!"

The captain of the personal guards ignored Cao Zhi's objection and immediately sent someone to pull Cao Zhi forward.

Although some people continued to fall, they kept moving forward.

But just when they thought they could break out, a group of soldiers appeared in front of them!

This group of people held bows and arrows and shot wildly at the personal guards.

"No, they are well prepared, retreat quickly!"

Cao Zhi knew that he had been fooled again and did not dare to gamble with the lives of his soldiers again, so he could only order a retreat.

This time the captain of the personal guards did not say anything to stop him.

Because, in the previous round of sharp arrows, he was shot dead on the spot in order to protect Cao Zhi!

In desperation, the personal soldiers could only protect Cao Zhi and retreat.

At this point, the breakout failed!
