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

Chapter 367: Capturing the Prince

The night is silent, without the noise of yellow sand during the day.

Silver light shines, illuminating the clear frost on the ground.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried horse hooves disturbed the peace. A troop of soldiers was passing quickly in the valley.

Under the cover of night, the soldiers lit torches, illuminating the leading general.

This man was over seven feet tall, wearing a black battle armor, holding a mountain axe, had a beard, a burly figure, and a dark face. He was none other than the Zhao general Huyan Xiong.

"Hurry, hurry through the valley and get to Anding City as soon as possible."

Hu Yanxiong waved the axe in his hand and kept urging them to get to Anding City as soon as possible to rescue them.

As long as they gathered the troops from the four cities, they would have an additional 40,000 fresh troops, and at the same time ensure the safety of their flanks, so as to avoid being attacked from the side during the decisive battle with the Chu army.

This battle is a battle of revenge, so we must be cautious.

A huge number of troops continued to pour into the valley. As long as they passed through this place, they would reach Anding City in just one hour.

To be on the safe side, Tuoba Xiong also sent scouts to investigate the situation in Anding City.

When all the troops entered the valley, the scout returned and said, "General, there is a fierce battle going on in Anding City!"

Tuoba Xiong sneered: "Fighting from day to night, it seems that the Chu army is really anxious this time, otherwise they would not launch a night attack.

Chuanben ordered that we speed up, discard all baggage, and march lightly! "

At the command, the troops sped up again.

But at this moment, the sound of war drums and shouts of killing suddenly rang out on both sides of the valley.

In an instant, logs and boulders rolled down from both sides of the valley, blocking both the forward and retreat routes.

In the middle section, thousands of arrows poured down like a rainstorm.

In just a moment, the Zhao army in the valley screamed and fell down in large numbers.

"No, we were ambushed!"

Tuoba Xiong was both shocked and angry: "Shield bearers, move to resist, cavalry charge forward, infantry immediately hide, scouts immediately go to explore the road behind."

Although he was ambushed, Tuoba Xiong did not panic and continued to command his troops to respond.

Soon, the Zhao army was defending, dodging and exploring at the same time.

In the valley, Han Xing, who was watching the battle with cold eyes, could not help but nod slightly: "The generals of the Zhao army remained calm in the face of danger, which is a bit difficult to deal with.

However, I am not unprepared. Come on, set the fire!"

At the command, many branches and tree oil were thrown into the valley. Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky and screams were heard everywhere.

A hell on earth begins.

Tuoba Xiong was furious when he saw this: "Damn Chu army, they actually used such despicable means, come on, follow me and kill them!"

Through scouts, they discovered that the retreat was blocked. Although people had been sent to move the stones, the Zhao army was also launching an attack, and it was not easy to open up the passage.

The only option now is to fight our way up to the valley.

For a moment, the sound of killing rang out everywhere. The Zhao army, unable to bear the loss of lives here, was like crazy, waving their weapons and rushing towards the valley frantically.

But before they reached the halfway point of the mountain, they were greeted by a dense rain of arrows.

In addition, there were flames blocking the way all around, which frustrated the Zhao army's offensive and caused soldiers to fall down in large numbers.

Even though Tuoba Xiong continued to command his troops to charge, it was still of no avail.

In two hours, all the Zhao troops in the valley were wiped out, and Han Xing then ordered everyone to rush down and clear them out.

Another half an hour passed, and the 70,000 Zhao troops were completely wiped out!

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, and Tuoba Xiong who was shot into pieces in front of him but used a mountain axe to support his lower back to prevent the corpse from falling, Han Xing's eyes flashed with admiration.

"Bury this man's body!"

Han Xing narrowed his eyes and gave an order: "Leave a thousand men to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of you will immediately rush to Anding City to cooperate with General Guan Yun to capture the four cities!"

Suddenly, the Chu army gathered and quickly headed towards Anding City.

Chu Ning deliberately left the four city gates including Anding City and never recovered them. The purpose was to use them to attack the city and attack reinforcements.

Now that the reinforcements have been destroyed, there is no need for the four cities to remain in the hands of the enemy. It is time to take back these four cities!

The Chu army, with its victory in mind, attacked the four cities in one go.

At the same time, an accident also occurred in the Zhao army's central camp.

The camp was quiet, with only the sound of patrolling soldiers' footsteps.

At the gate of the camp, several Zhao soldiers were dozing off with spears in their hands.

After running around for several days, I am physically and mentally exhausted. Now I have to keep watch all night, which is really hard to bear.

Just then, a cavalry approached quietly.

They were seen holding their heads in silence and their horses wrapping their hooves, without making any sound. Then, under the cover of night and following the faint starlight, they quickly arrived outside the central army tent.

As they approached, a Zhao soldier who was still awake discovered them.

Startled, the soldier was about to shout when a row of pistols fell from the sky.

Suddenly, the soldiers at the gate of the camp fell down one after another.

Immediately, the White Horse Cavalry galloped at full speed, and at such a close distance, they killed the enemy with just one charge.

It was not until then that the patrolling soldiers in the camp discovered them.

"No, enemy attack!"

"Blow the horn!"

The third prince Zhao Wuji was awakened by the shouting. He did not even bother to put on his armor and rushed out of the camp.

"What happened?"

"Your Highness, the enemy is coming to raid the camp!"

Zhao Wuji sneered: "How many people do they have? How dare they rob the camp? Send a message to General Gongsun and ask him to lead the troops to resist. I will destroy this Chu army tonight."

Zhao Wuji, who had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, was extremely excited and felt that tonight was the time for him to achieve great things!

At the command, the Zhao army in the camp began to assemble.

But unfortunately, the White Horse Cavalry was too fast and dispersed them before they could finish gathering.

At the same time, shouts of killing were heard around the camp, and the Chu army was everywhere!

Zhao Wuji, who was neatly dressed, looked majestic, and ready to kill everyone, was suddenly dumbfounded.

"What's going on? Why are there shouts of killing from the Chu army all around?"

While everyone was surprised, Gongsun Yan rode over with an anxious look on his face.

"Your Highness, it's bad. We are surrounded by the Chu army. The troops have been dispersed before they can even gather. Your Highness, please lead your guards and charge out from the west. I will lead the army to cover your retreat."

Zhao Wuji was furious when he heard this: "You let me escape?"

"Your Highness, it will be too late if you don't leave now!"

Gongsun Yan made a prompt decision: "Someone, escort His Highness away."

The surrounding guards immediately protected Zhao Wuji as he broke out to the west.

Gongsun Yan drew the sword from his waist and shouted angrily: "Everyone, follow me to fight!"

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, countless rockets were fired from outside the camp, instantly igniting the tents, and the fire quickly spread throughout the entire camp.

Even Zhao Wuji, who had already rushed to the camp gate, was blocked by the fire.

"Put out the fire quickly and kill them!" Zhao Wuji drew his sword and commanded the battle.

At this moment, a cavalry rushed out of the camp. The leader, Feng Mulan, shouted and swept the heavy sword in her hand forward, sweeping a group of guards away.

Zhao Wuji's face changed drastically and he rode his horse to escape, but the white horse cavalry around him rushed over and surrounded him.

"I know you. I think your name is Zhao Wuji, the third prince of my great Zhao, right?"

Feng Mulan noticed Zhao Wuji's flashy armor and her eyes lit up immediately: "If we catch you, we will definitely achieve great success."

"How outrageous!" Zhao Wuji was humiliated by a woman and immediately became furious.

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, a heavy sword came crashing down, and Zhao Wuji was so frightened that he quickly rode his horse to avoid it.

But then, the heavy sword swept across, forcing him to abandon his horse and leap to the side.

"Catch him!" Feng Mulan shouted.

The white horse cavalrymen around him drew their spears one after another, and Zhao Wuji was so frightened that he had to bend down and hold the sword in his hand horizontally to block several spears.

But at this moment, Feng Mulan came from behind and kicked him hard in the back.

"Ugh~Puff~" Zhao Wuji spat out a mouthful of blood and rushed forward.

The white horse cavalry in front shot out with their spears as fast as a dragon and immediately lifted him up.

"Haha, tie him up and take him back!"

Feng Mulan grinned: "Everyone, charge and kill them all tonight!"
