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

Chapter 493 Scared

The battle continued in the dark night.

Los Angeles became a meat grinder, with corpses of soldiers from both sides piling up like mountains.

But at this moment, both sides understand that they cannot retreat. Once they retreat, it will be a fight to the death.

If the defenders retreat and the rebels rush into the city, they will have no chance of survival.

If the rebels retreat, they will have to sacrifice more people if they want to attack again in the future.

In order to capture Luo City in one fell swoop, the rebels ignored casualties and, under the fierce fighting of Li Long's personal soldiers, reached the city wall.

Upon seeing this, Xue Huaide, the great general of the Zhou Dynasty, disregarded his own status and took up his Fang Tian Hua Ji to fight in person.

This man was an extremely skilled martial artist. Even Li Long's personal soldiers found it difficult to get close to him, and their attacks were blocked by him.

Seeing this, the defenders behind him became very excited and immediately rushed forward to fight fiercely.

But the rebels were not much behind. Upon seeing the defending commander appear, the rebel deputy general Wu Chao personally rushed to the city wall to command the battle.

For a while, the two sides fought repeatedly on the city wall.

Soldiers from both sides were fighting fiercely on almost every inch of the city wall, and corpses kept falling onto the wall.

The screams and cries of killing mixed together, like hell on earth.

Li Long, who was commanding the battle outside the city, saw this scene and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

If the trend continues, Luo City will be captured within an hour.

Thinking of the scene of being crowned emperor after conquering Luo City, Li Long could not hide the excitement on his face.

But at this moment, a cavalry suddenly appeared behind him, and the sound of horse hooves was deafening!

Li Long frowned, turned his head to look at the torches approaching behind him, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Why is there another army behind us?"

The guard beside him frowned: "Could it be a messenger sent by the Yan army?"

"nonsense!"

Li Long reprimanded: "Even if the Yan army sent someone to deliver a message, they should have come from the side, not behind our army."

As he was speaking, the cavalry came in the blink of an eye and soon appeared in Li Long's eyes.

It was a cavalry force of more than a hundred people, all riding white horses. The leader was dressed in a gorgeous black brocade robe, like a handsome young man from a noble family.

Behind that man was a tall, bald man holding a spear.

"Who is this?"

Li Long's face was full of question marks.

But at this moment, the guard next to him looked as if he had seen a ghost, and pointed at the cavalry and said, "Your Majesty, the other side is flying the flag of Chu!"

Li Long looked carefully and found a huge "Chu" written on the opponent's flag!

"How come the Chu cavalry appeared here?" Li Long looked puzzled.

But because of this delay, Chu Ning had already rushed over with his cavalry.

"My lord, be careful!"

After the two sides approached, the White Horse Cavalry fired a round of archery, which frightened Li Long so much that the guards around him immediately protected him.

But even so, the sharp arrows still killed several guards.

Li Long, who had already transferred his personal soldiers away, was only surrounded by a dozen guards. He lost half of them at once, which frightened Li Long out of his wits.

"Retreat... retreat!" Li Long gave the order quickly.

Victory was just around the corner, and he didn't want to die here.

The only way at this moment is to retreat to the city gate and let the attacking soldiers protect you.

At the command, the guards immediately escorted him towards the city gate at full speed.

But Chu Ning led his men to pursue him relentlessly, as if he wanted to kill Li Long.

This frightened Li Long so much that he shouted, "Someone, come and save me, save me!"

The shouting finally attracted the attention of the soldiers attacking the city, and immediately a troop of troops came to support.

But Chu Ning's white horse cavalry was too powerful. With one charge, they broke up the enemy's formation and continued to kill Li Long.

This scene frightened Li Long so much that he immediately mobilized other troops to come for protection.

Upon seeing this, the rebels who were attacking the city immediately abandoned the city and rushed to rescue.

But at this moment, many torches suddenly appeared in the distance, and it seemed that many people were approaching this side.

At the same time, Chu Ning shouted to the defenders on the city wall: "The Chu army is coming to support us, the defenders on the city wall should not shoot arrows."

Xue Huaide, who was fighting fiercely on the city wall, was overjoyed when he heard this: "Hahahaha, the troops of Chu are coming. Brothers, kill these rebels!"

Suddenly, the defenders in the city were in high spirits. Taking advantage of the disrupted rhythm of the rebels, they attacked in one go.

The rebels who had already rushed to the city wall lost the support of the troops below the city. Every death meant one less, and in a short time, there were only a few left.

While Chu Ning, who was standing below the city, had already led the White Horse Cavalry to charge back and forth into the rebel camp several times, disrupting the rebel formation!

Chu Ning, holding a spear, was covered in blood, but he was full of heroism in his heart. The spear was like a dragon, killing the rebels one after another.

After a year and a half of training in martial arts, plus the expansion of his meridians after being poisoned last time, his strength has now reached the level of a second-rate master, and he can kill enemies on this battlefield!

With the killing god Ran Ming by his side, almost no one can get close to Chu Ning.

Their target has always been Li Long, and they almost caught up with him several times.

If it weren't for the soldiers around Li Long who fought desperately to protect him, Li Long might have been killed by Chu Ning!

Faced with such a situation, Li Long was scared.

"Retreat...retreat!"

Since we don't know how many Chu troops are behind us, our own safety is threatened, and the city walls cannot be captured, retreat is the best option.

As long as you keep your life and find out how many troops the Chu State has, you will still have a chance to capture Luo City in the future.

At the order, the rebels began to retreat westward.

They did not dare to retreat to the central army tent because there were many torches and an unknown number of Chu troops there, and to the west were their people!

The rebels retreated, but Ran Ming was in high spirits and wanted to give chase.

Chu Ning frowned: "Alright, no need to chase, our goal has been achieved, let's enter the city first!"

As they were talking, fifty cavalrymen pretending to be a large group of soldiers also rode back.

On the city wall, Xue Huaide saw the rebels retreating and immediately ordered: "Open the city gates and let the Chu army in!"

Soon, the city gate opened and two hundred cavalrymen rode into the city.

This dumbfounded Xue Huaide, who was waiting for a large group of troops in the city.

“Why are there only so few people?”

Chu Ning happened to hear this. He rode his horse to Xue Huaide and said with a smile, "Why, does this general dislike the fact that I have too few soldiers?"

When Xue Huaide heard this man call himself the king, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I dare not, which prince from the Great Chu is leading the army here?"

Ran Ming at the side chuckled: "This is His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

"It turns out to be His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu who has recently become famous all over the world!"

Xue Huaide's face straightened: "I wonder how many troops did His Royal Highness the King of Chu bring here to support this time?"

Ran Ming was about to tell the truth, but Chu Ning stopped him with his hand and said calmly: "I am not interested in discussing these matters with you. Take me to see your Majesty first!"

There were too many people at the scene. If it was said that the Chu State only had 200 cavalrymen coming to support, it would be bad for morale.

The most urgent thing is to meet the empress first!
