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

"Your Highness, why...why did you retreat?"

Dian Wei and Liu Ye were commanding their troops to charge towards the woods when they suddenly saw Cao Zhi returning. Their faces immediately turned ugly.

They attacked desperately in order to give Cao Zhi a chance of survival.

But now, Cao Zhi actually retreated.

Their efforts were in vain.

Cao Zhi's face was livid at this moment. He clenched his fist and said fiercely, "That damn bastard set up an ambush in front of us. I led my men over and ran into them head-on!"

"Most of my personal soldiers have been killed and cannot make it through."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Ye felt cold all over.

"It's over, everything is over. We have wasted so much time, I think Chu Ning will soon catch up!"

From the beginning of the war to now, the two sides have been deadlocked here for more than an hour.

With the speed of cavalry, they can gallop dozens of miles in more than an hour.

And now they are trapped here, with no way forward or backward, making it difficult to take a single step!

Even the guard beside him felt that something was wrong and asked in a deep voice, "Master Liu, what should we do now?"

He knew that he was a rough man and couldn't think of a solution, so he could only ask Liu Ye.

Liu Ye narrowed his eyes, and a ruthless look flashed across his eyes: "Since we can't get through, we can only take a detour!"

"We should retreat a few miles and bypass this forest. Even though it will take some time, it is better than wasting time here."

This is the only solution.

They now don’t know where Chu Ning is chasing them, so they choose to retreat and take a detour to give it a try.

But this move is also dangerous. If Chu Ning arrives at this moment, they will be attacked from both sides.

Cao Zhi certainly understood this. After hesitating for a moment, a hint of madness appeared in his eyes: "I must return alive and avenge the dead soldiers!"

"General Dianwei, lead the troops immediately and do as Lord Liu said!"

"Yes!"

Dian Wei responded and immediately ordered his troops to retreat.

In the woods, Su Cheng watched this scene coldly, but did not order to stop it.

A soldier on the side could not help but frown and asked, "General, why don't you come down to stop them? If they take a detour, won't our operation tonight be difficult to complete?"

Unexpectedly, Su Cheng smiled contemptuously: "How could the arrangement of His Royal Highness the King of Chu be so simple?"

"Want to take a detour? Then we have to ask the King of Chu if he agrees."

As soon as he finished speaking, the retreating Wei army suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Countless torches appeared in their eyes, rushing towards them in an overwhelming manner.

Liu Ye's face changed drastically: "Not good, Chu Ning must have brought people to catch up with us!"

Cao Zhi's face was gloomy: "You've come just in time. I will fight him. Pass the order down, all the troops, charge and don't worry about the people behind you!"

At this moment, Cao Zhi was so furious that he just wanted to kill Chu Ning!

As soon as these words came out, Dian Wei's face changed drastically: "Your Highness, if you don't care about the people behind you, our army will be broken up."

"I suggest that you leave 300 men behind to block the troops behind, and the others should attack Chu Ning immediately!"

Judging from the torches, Chu Ning didn't bring many people with him.

Although they had just lost some people, they were still able to compete with Chu Ning!

If we can kill Chu Ning or capture him alive, there will be a turning point in this battle!

Cao Zhi nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Just do as General Dianwei said!"

Dian Wei made a prompt decision and immediately left 300 men behind to cover their retreat while the rest attacked Chu Ning.

Even Cao Zhi didn't care that his health had just improved, and he swung his sword to kill him.

For a moment, the sound of killing was loud!

In the woods, Su Cheng saw this and sneered, "It is just as His Royal Highness the King of Chu expected. Come on, pass the order, the whole army will attack the enemy's rear, and leave no one alive!"

"Come on!"

"Kill!"

This mysterious army rushed out of the woods.

For a moment, the sound of killing was loud.

Following Chu Ning was Huo Quji, who looked at the incoming Wei troops with a very gloomy expression.

If a fight breaks out, who should he help?

"Your Highness the King of Chu, can you let me go up to negotiate?" Huo Quji turned his head and looked at Chu Ning who was eager to try and prepare for war and asked.

But Chu Ning shrugged his shoulders and said with a playful look: "If the Champion Marquis can persuade Cao Zhi to surrender, that would be the best!"

"But looking at the current situation, if the Champion Marquis goes up to persuade them, I'm afraid he will be hacked to pieces by them."

Huo Quji's mouth twitched.

He took a look at the Wei army coming from a distance and couldn't help shaking his head.

He knew that it was useless to persuade him now.

The battlefield was so huge, and the shouts of killing were deafening. How could his voice alone be heard by the Wei army camp on the opposite side?

Moreover, if he really rode forward, the Wei army would probably think he was leading the charge, and if they shot him with arrows, wouldn't that be an unjust death?

With a long sigh, Huo Quji could only shake his head helplessly: "It seems that we have to fight today!"

Chu Ning chuckled: "Does the Champion want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"

Huo Quji's face straightened: "Cao Zhi robbed the banknotes of His Royal Highness the King of Chu in the capital of our great Han Dynasty. Such a serious crime, how can I easily forgive him?"

"Come here, form a battle array, and capture King Chen alive!"

He did not dare to order the killing of Cao Zhi, and could only instruct the soldiers to capture him alive.

The Han troops immediately deployed their troops.

But Chu Ning laughed loudly, swung the spear in his hand, and said loudly: "White Horse Cavalry, follow me and charge and defeat them!"

Compared with the Han army's defense, Chu Ning chose to take the initiative!

Under the cover of night, more than two hundred white war horses roared past, like a flash of white lightning, dazzling!

The Wei army was not far behind and rushed forward under the leadership of Dianwei.

When the two cavalry units collided, there were shouts of killing and screams that shook the sky.

The battle entered a white-hot stage from the very beginning.

Chu Ning wielded the spear, either sweeping or stabbing, knocking the Wei army off their horses one after another.

But his bravery attracted the attention of Dian Wei, and this man was riding his horse towards Chu Ning to kill him!

The surrounding white horse cavalry wanted to stop him, but they were killed by this man and soon reached Chu Ning.

The long spear stabbed from the side, determined to take Chu Ning's life in one fell swoop!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice like thunder came: "Don't hurt Your Highness!"

A spear blocked the halberd, it was Ran Ming who arrived!

"It's you again!" Dian Wei's face looked a little ugly.

Ran Ming's face was full of murderous intent: "Defeated general, wait and see how I kill you today!"

As he spoke, he swung his spear, pushed aside the halberd and swept it towards the Dianwei.

Dian Wei snorted coldly and wielded his halberd to fight.

The two fought extremely fiercely, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

At this time, Su Cheng in the back had already led his troops to defeat the 300 Wei troops who were blocking them.

With absolute advantage in military strength, the Wei army was no match at all.

With the addition of Su Cheng's troops, the Wei army's formation was immediately thrown into chaos!

The situation is unfavorable to the Wei army!

But at this time, Princess Changping, Li Shiming, Ren Wenxuan and King Wu of Zhao came to the outside of the battlefield with their personal guards.

Seeing someone helping Chu Ning, the King of Wu couldn't help but change his expression slightly: "Whose army is this, and why are they helping Chu Ning?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them turned to look at Princess Changping.

The only person here who is on good terms with Chu Ning is Princess Changping.

They thought that it was Princess Changping who lent the troops to Chu Ning!
