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

Chapter 527: The home is stolen, the offense and defense are changed!

"What's going on? Why is there a fire in the direction of the military camp?"

A hint of horror flashed across Yan Yucheng's eyes. He pretended to be calm and stared at Chu Ning.

Now he didn’t know the situation in the military camp, but Chu Ning looked calm and composed. He knew without hesitation that it must have been Chu Ning who did it.

Sure enough, a hint of amusement appeared on Chu Ning's lips: "Isn't this an obvious result? Your camp has been attacked!

If my guess is correct, there aren't many people in your camp right now, and most of your troops have gone to attack our camp, right?"

Yan Yucheng's face changed drastically, but he did not answer.

Chu Ning chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything. I'm telling you, all of this is just a trap set by me.

The purpose is to mobilize the troops in your camp to go to war, and then take the opportunity to burn down your camp. As long as there is no food, how long can your 100,000 troops hold out?"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Yucheng's pupils dilated and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

"What a despicable and shameless King Chu!"

Yan Yucheng stared at Chu Ning and said, "Why don't you dare to fight me head-on? It's not fair to win by using this method!"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ning burst into laughter.

"General Yan, it seems that you sent people to ambush me, and even planned to burn me to death first?"

Chu Ning's face was full of amusement: "Why, you are only allowed to use this despicable method to deal with me, and I am not allowed to use other methods to deal with you?"

"you……"

"okay!"

Chu Ning's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a cold tone: "Now, the offense and defense have changed!"

"Come on, rush over and kill them!"

At the command, the soldiers of the Great Zhou who came to support charged forward aggressively.

Yan Yucheng looked at the dense torches in the distance and felt very hesitant.

He didn't know how many troops were coming to support him. If he started a battle rashly and was entangled by the enemy, he would basically be unable to get rid of them in this mountainous terrain.

What's more, now that our camp is under attack, if we don't go back to provide support as soon as possible, and if the enemy really burns down the camp, the morale of the entire army will surely drop!

Thinking of this, Yan Yucheng made a prompt decision: "Leave a thousand men behind to cover the rear, and the rest of you should hurry back to the camp immediately!"

This is a mountain path. Even if there are only a thousand people, they can stop Chu Ning for half an hour.

The only way now is to return to the camp as soon as possible and preserve the supplies in the camp.

Chu Ning looked at the retreating Yan Yucheng with a sneer on his face: "When you go back, it will be too late!"

"kill!"

With an angry shout, Chu Ning led the troops, holding a spear and charging forward.

Now the Yan army is attacking the Chu army, and it will take some time for the Yan army here to rush back. He believes that Su Cheng will definitely burn down the Yan army camp!

Yes, this is Chu Ning’s trap!

He deliberately left Su Cheng's team, but before leaving he gave Su Cheng a letter, in which he wrote his plan for this time.

He was the one who deliberately leaked his whereabouts to General Xiahou Ren!

He was certain that Xiahou Ren would reveal his whereabouts to the Yan army, and Yan Yucheng would definitely ambush him after receiving the news.

But if they want to kill him, they must stop the Chu army from coming to their aid, which will inevitably cause the Yan army to come out in full force to stop the Chu army.

So, he secretly asked Su Cheng to bring troops.

Some went to rescue him, and some went to burn down the Yan army camp.

At this moment, the Yan army camp was in a state of disarray. Su Cheng could easily control the situation by charging in with so many soldiers.

The situation at the scene was exactly as Chu Ning had expected.

Inside the Yan army camp.

Su Cheng led his troops to continuously set fire to the tents.

"Quick, pile up the flammable materials!"

"Don't worry about the food and fodder. Burn them all. Yes, burn them all. Don't take anything out!"

"You guys, go and close the camp gate."

"Set fire, set fire to everything. We must burn down the entire camp before the Yan army arrives back."

Under Su Cheng's command, the soldiers of the Great Zhou set fires everywhere. Soon, the fire soared into the sky, dyeing the entire night sky red.

From a distance, it looked like a gigantic fire beast descended from the sky, determined to devour the heaven and earth!

This scene was naturally seen by Le Yi who was commanding the troops.

Seeing his camp on fire, Le Yi's face changed drastically. He finally understood why he was so uneasy and why he felt something was wrong with tonight's plan.

It turned out that his camp was not guarded by anyone and was robbed!

Although he didn't know whether Yan Yucheng had successfully killed Chu Ning, he absolutely could not continue to waste time here with the Chu army.

"Come here, sound the retreat and return to camp immediately!"

Le Yi did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered his troops to return to the camp.

"Ding~ding~ding~"

The sound of the gong resounded throughout the battlefield, bringing the Yan army, which had already gone mad with killing, back to their senses.

When he turned around, he saw flames rising from the direction of his camp!

Suddenly, the Yan army lost interest in fighting and retreated.

Inside the camp, Xiahou Ren looked at the retreating Yan army in front of him, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He didn't understand why the Yan army camp caught fire.

It was obvious that his plan was perfect. He deliberately leaked Chu Ning's whereabouts to Yan Yucheng and used Yan Yucheng's hand to get rid of Chu Ning!

Even if the emperor blamed him afterwards, he could say that he led his troops to provide support but was stopped by the Yan army.

But now, the Yan army camp suddenly caught fire and the Yan army in the front retreated. He no longer had any reason to refuse to rescue Chu Ning.

Although he didn't know what happened, Xiahou Ren responded quickly:

"Pass the order down, let General Liu lead 2,000 people to support His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and the others will chase after the Yan army!"

No matter what, the credit must be taken.

Now that the Yan army camp is on fire, the morale of the Yan army has plummeted. It is a good opportunity to pursue and kill as many as possible, and try to eliminate the enemy's living strength as much as possible.

At a command, the camp gate opened and the Chu army rushed out excitedly.

"Kill!"

"Come on!"

Under the cover of night, the original battle of offense and defense has now changed its form.

The attacking party was retreating, while the defending party was pursuing them.

The two sides were chasing each other and fleeing, and Yan soldiers were constantly killed along the way, with corpses everywhere.

But at this moment, Le Yi no longer cared about so many things. He just wanted to return to the military camp as soon as possible.

If the food and supplies in the military camp were burned, the war would not be able to continue.

Even though he knew that the Chu army was chasing him, he could only ignore it and just wanted to return to the camp with his men as soon as possible.

But halfway through the journey, a group of soldiers marching quickly appeared in front of them.

"who!"

"Don't do anything, it's one of our own!"

After confirming their identities, both sides discovered that these were actually troops led by Yan Yucheng.

"General!"

Le Yi stepped forward with a surprised look on his face and saluted: "Why are you here? Didn't you go to ambush Chu Ning?"

Yan Yucheng's face was gloomy: "We have fallen into a trap. This is all Chu Ning's trick. His purpose is to transfer our army out of the camp so that he can take the opportunity to burn our food and supplies."

Le Yi frowned and wanted to ask again whether Chu Ning was killed, but Yan Yucheng did not give him a chance to speak and said in a deep voice:

"Let's go back to camp first!"

Le Yi had no choice but to follow with his troops.
