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

At Chou hour, heaven and earth were in chaos.

The weather in January was very cold, the temperature at midnight was even lower than during the day, and the biting cold wind was howling constantly.

A troop of soldiers came out of Kyoto City and was advancing rapidly.

In the team, the big flag fluttering in the wind was faintly visible in the dim firelight, and you could vaguely see a big word "Qin" written on the flag.

Gan Long led his troops and marched quickly, as if the capital city of Chu was a flood and a beast.

This operation failed, not only Gan Long suffered a setback, but the morale of the troops also plummeted, and they were too ashamed to stay in Kyoto City.

At this moment, they just wanted to leave Chu as soon as possible and return to Qin.

Under the cover of night, the delegation moved quickly along the official road.

But, just as they passed a forest, something strange happened.

In the quiet night, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded.

Immediately, countless sharp arrows whizzed in from the woods on both sides.

The Qin envoys were caught off guard and screamed in agony, and a large number of them fell down!

"No, enemy attack!"

"Protect the Prime Minister!"

"Collect the formation, move together quickly, and raise your shields to block the arrows!"

Although the Qin army was in chaos for a while, they quickly came to their senses, immediately gathered their formation, and the soldiers raised their shields to form a human wall.

Gan Long was protected in the middle position, his face gloomy as he listened to the constant sounds of breaking air and screams outside.

"Chu Ning, you said you would let me go back, but I didn't expect you to break your promise!"

Gan Long, who was somewhat exasperated, couldn't help but shout into the woods.

But the only responses he got were the falling arrows and the screams of the Qin army.

The captain in charge of the delegation was furious: "Prime Minister, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must fight our way into the woods to get out of this predicament!"

Gan Long frowned: "We don't know the number of enemy troops yet. If we act rashly, we might be surrounded by the enemy. We might as well find a way to break out."

But the captain shook his head and said, "I have sent people to check. There are enemy troops blocking the way ahead. It is impossible to break through. Moreover, the archers in the woods will keep shooting arrows during the breakout.

I have seen that there are not too many archers. I will personally lead people to fight them. As long as we get rid of the archers, everything will be solved."

Gan Long hesitated for a moment, but the screams coming from all around him made him realize that he couldn't go on like this.

Rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to give it a try

"Okay, thank you, Captain Zhou!"

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

The captain roared, "The right battalion will provide cover, and the left battalion will follow me and charge forward!"

At a command, a team of Qin troops, under the cover of shieldmen, headed straight for the woods.

But the number of sharp arrows was getting faster and faster, and the Qin army had to pay the price of several lives for every step they took.

In just a dozen steps, the Qin army had already paid the price of hundreds of people.

Fortunately, they finally rushed into the woods and fought with the soldiers who were ambushed there.

As the soldiers of both sides fought fiercely, the Qin army on the official road was able to catch their breath.

Gan Long listened to the shouts and screams coming from the woods, and a cold look flashed across his eyes: "We must find out whether this army is from the State of Chu!"

He wanted to know if Chu Ning was going to go back on his word.

But a moment later, a Qin soldier covered in blood came to report: "Prime Minister, the people inside are all wearing face scarves, and their identities are unknown.

However, these people are highly skilled in martial arts and well-trained, and are not ordinary soldiers."

Upon hearing this, Gan Long frowned and looked thoughtful.

If Chu Ning wanted to kill him, there was no need to send people with faces covered. These people were most likely not sent by Chu Ning.

But since he was not sent by Chu Ning, who else in Chu State wants to kill him?

While he was deep in thought, he heard a soldier shouting, "Prime Minister, it's bad. There are enemy troops in front and behind us, and there are many of them. Brothers can't hold on any longer."

Gan Long's eyes turned cold, his heart became ruthless, and he made a prompt decision: "Concentrate our forces and break through!"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers nearby were shocked: "But the captain is still leading his men to fight in the woods!"

"I can't care so much!"

Gan Long roared, "Now we can only save our own lives, and they can only hope for the best. Otherwise, if they continue like this, we will all die here."

"Everyone listen up, break out!"

At the command, the Qin army immediately changed its tactics. They no longer stayed in the same place to fight, but continued to charge forward.

The Qin army is indeed the strongest army in the world. Even when they were ambushed, they still burst out with amazing fighting power.

In just a quarter of an hour, they killed the masked men in front of them and forced them to retreat.

But as we retreated, the official road became narrower and narrower!

Just when Gan Long was feeling puzzled, he suddenly heard a whistling sound coming from the front. He looked up and saw a dense array of sharp arrows whistling towards him.

"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap. They deliberately lured us here!"

Gan Long's face changed drastically, and he roared: "Shields raised!"

But it was too late for the Qin army to react. Dense arrows instantly hit a large area, and even Gan Long was pierced through the shoulder by an arrow.

Suddenly, screams were heard and Qin's army fell down one after another.

This scene made Gan Long furious. He ignored his injuries and roared, "Who is it? Who wants to kill me?"

But, what answered him were still the sharp arrows and the howling north wind.

As the sharp arrows continued to fall, the number of Qin troops became smaller and smaller.

To make matters worse, the Qin army at the back could not hold on and was killed by the masked men.

"Prime Minister, it's bad. The centurion has died for his country!" a soldier hurried to report.

Gan Long's face changed drastically when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Everyone quickly gathered around.

Gan Long, with his mouth full of blood, looked miserable: “Hahahaha, I never thought that I would die here.”

The unwillingness in his heart made him stare at the place not far away, and he roared, "Who is it? Who is it? I am unwilling to accept this. Come out here!"

As he roared, blood kept oozing out from the corners of his mouth, soaking his clothes.

At this moment, there were less than three hundred Qin soldiers left, and they had been completely surrounded by the men in black.

Looking at the men in black all around him, Gan Long knew that he had no chance of survival, but before he died, he wanted to know at whose hands he would die.

At this moment, the man in black in front suddenly stopped attacking, and a man slowly appeared in Gan Long's eyes along the road.

Under the cover of night, a sneering face with a hint of amusement stared at Gan Long.

"It's...it's you!"

Gan Long looked at the man in front of him, with a look of disbelief in his eyes: "I never thought that I would die in the hands of someone like you!"

The man smiled contemptuously: "Gan Long, you are always so self-righteous. Do you really think that your Qin army is invincible?"

"What a pity, a famous prime minister has fallen just like that."

The man said, and waved his hand: "Kill them all!"

Suddenly, shouts of killing were heard everywhere.

It took a full half hour for the scene to quiet down. The Qin army was completely wiped out, and Gan Long also died under a hail of arrows!

After doing all this, the man sneered and said, "Clean up the scene and go back immediately!"
