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

Chapter 161: Fierce fighting for three days and three nights!

"Your Highness, the enemy is being defeated. If this continues, our army will soon be able to completely destroy them!"

On the city wall, Liu Shouren's face was full of excitement and he shouted excitedly with tears in his eyes.

Chu Ning said calmly: "Don't be too happy too soon. Send people to check the other three city gates. If the enemy gathers together to attack the city at this moment, I'm afraid our army will not be able to hold on."

Even though he had gained an absolute advantage, Chu Ning did not dare to be careless at all.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly and any carelessness can lead to disastrous consequences.

Liu Shouren was stunned for a moment, then he calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will go and explain it myself."

The situation is very good, but we can't make any mistakes at the last critical moment.

But shortly after Liu Shouren left, Ran Ming came over angrily.

"Your Highness, why don't you let me leave the city? I want to kill to my heart's content!"

Ran Ming, who had been guarding the city, was very indignant. He watched Zhao Yu and Guan Yun perform meritorious deeds outside the city while he could only stay inside the city. It was so frustrating.

Chu Ning glanced at him and said calmly: "Why, are you questioning my decision?"

Ran Ming shrank his neck and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, you are too kind. I just want to go outside the city to kill the enemy."

"Not in a hurry!"

Chu Ning smiled and said, "You have a more important mission. Once the situation outside the city stabilizes, I will let you lead the army out of the city."

But these words made Ran Ming feel a little uncomfortable.

Once the situation outside the city stabilizes, I won’t even be able to get some soup if I go out again.

But he did not dare to go against His Highness's wishes.

Ran Ming curled his lips, looked dejected, and looked like he had lost all hope in life.

Seeing his expression, Chu Ning couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Do you think killing the enemy is more important, or seizing the food and grass in the enemy's camp?"

Ran Ming was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his eyes shining: "Your Highness, do you want me to take people out of the city to rob their food?"

Chu Ning nodded and smiled, "Yes, although the enemy camp was set on fire, I have instructed Zhao Yu to stay away from the granary. Judging from the trend of the fire, the grain has not been burned yet.

However, the Zhao army is in a frenzy of collapse, and there is no guarantee that someone will not take advantage of the opportunity to take away the grain. Your mission is to kill everyone who approaches the granary, protect the grain, and put out the fire at the same time."

Although Ran Ming was very happy about the food robbery, he became even more excited when he heard that there were still people to be killed.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll take people there right away!" Ran Ming couldn't wait to leave the city.

Chu Ning took a look at the situation outside the city. The 100,000 soldiers of the Great Zhao had been surrounded. Guan Yun, Zhao Yu and Feng Mulan were leading their men to kill the enemy frantically.

Judging from the situation, the Zhao troops in other directions have already retreated, and it is impossible for anyone to come to rescue.

"Go ahead, but be careful. If the enemy has a large army, send someone to report immediately!"

"Yes!" Ran Ming responded excitedly and went downstairs to make arrangements immediately.

Soon, the north gate of the city opened, and Ran Ming rushed out with a team of soldiers.

They headed straight for the Zhao army camp and killed any defeated Zhao soldiers they encountered along the way.

At this moment, the Zhao army had no fighting spirit and were all retreating. No one even wanted to rescue the 100,000 troops in the north of the city.

Ran Ming led his troops and rushed down the mountain like a tiger, and attacked the Zhao army camp. The fire here had been put out by the Zhao army, and soldiers were carrying food and grass under the command of several generals.

"Hahahaha, as expected, His Highness was right. You really want to take the food away!"

Ran Ming laughed wildly: "Charge forward and kill them!"

At the command, the Chu army rushed forward shouting.

The three generals of the Zhao army looked at each other and made a prompt decision: "Leave 5,000 men behind to cover the rear, and the rest of you retreat immediately!"

"General, what about food?"

"Set it on fire. Even if we are defeated, we cannot leave food for them!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Jun quickly set fire to the granary. The raging fire raised the temperature at the scene a lot, and the fire quickly spread under the autumn wind.

Ran Ming was furious when he saw this: "These damn guys actually dared to set fire, come on, put out the fire immediately, and leave these people behind to me!"

The troops were divided into two parts, one to kill the enemy and the other to put out the fire.

Ran Ming was so angry that he set fire to the Zhao army and waved his spear rapidly, killing the Zhao army and making them scream in pain.

After a full hour, all the Zhao troops who were left behind were killed, and the fire was put out in half an hour.

"Count the damage and provisions!"

Ran Ming, covered in blood, looked like a ferocious god, staring at the granaries that stretched for miles with shining eyes.

This amount of grain, at least several million dan, means that with this amount of grain, the Chu army won't have to worry about food and fodder for a long time.

Moreover, there is more food and grass, maybe the prince can recruit some more soldiers!

At this time, the battle outside the south of the city also entered the final stage.

After Dongfang Kuang and Helian Mingyue were killed, the Zhao army completely lost its commander and was cut into several parts and destroyed.

Although the Zhao army was very powerful and had cavalry, and even burst out its survival instinct at the last moment, it was ultimately unable to withstand the powerful offensive of the Chu army.

Zhao Yu led the white horse cavalry to charge back and forth in the camp, and the formation that the Zhao army had organized with great difficulty was broken up.

Guan Yun led the Modao team and archers to block the way. Those who wanted to break out could not get out at all due to the terrifying Modao and the continuous crossbows.

As for Feng Mulan, there is no need to mention her. She brought her guard team and led the group of prisoners to form an attack formation, constantly reaping the lives of Zhao's army.

From day to night, the number of Zhao troops had been reduced by half.

When Ran Ming returned with food and fodder at night, he saw that the battlefield was still going on in the south of the city. This guy actually led his troops out of the city to fight again despite being tired.

Seeing this, Chu Ning immediately mobilized troops from the other three city gates and handed them over to Commander Ran Ming in order to resolve the battle as soon as possible.

Ran Ming led his troops out of the city with excitement on his face. They were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. No one could stop them, and he killed and defeated the Zhao army in large numbers.

With the addition of reinforcements, the Chu army became more emboldened. They pursued the Zhao army regardless of the darkness and killed them all.

The ten-mile open area outside the entire south of the city was littered with corpses. The bright red blood even soaked the yellow sand on the ground, forming rivers of blood.

The red earth looks like hell, and the pungent smell of blood is nauseating!

However, external factors could not affect the excitement of the Chu army. They continued to charge and kill, waving their weapons. As the number of Zhao troops continued to decrease, the shouts of killing gradually subsided.

After a night of fighting, the besieged army of 100,000 was finally wiped out, and at that moment of two days, the battlefield fell silent.

Even a strong man like Ran Ming was exhausted and out of breath after three days and three nights of fighting.

Guan Yun, who had come to gather, was also leaning on a long sword and breathing heavily.

Even Feng Mulan, a woman who never gave up, looked exhausted at this moment, with the heavy sword in her hand stuck in the ground and she had no strength to pick it up.

Only Zhao Yu, who had been riding his horse to attack, was still normal. He immediately ordered: "Count the casualties and clean up the battlefield!"

The three days and three nights of fighting are over, and now it’s time to reap the rewards!
