Chapter 1271: The cunning Ying Zheng fell into the trap again?
Before the two armies, kings meet kings!
But Chu Ning's words made Ying Zheng change color.
In front of thousands of troops, the two men fought alone. This was the best opportunity to boost morale or even kill Chu Ning.
But, Chu Ning asked to fight him so confidently, what if he wanted to die together with him?
To die together with a person who is poisoned would not only ruin his reputation, but also cause a sharp drop in the morale of the Qin army.
You have to know that Chu Ning is no different from a disabled person now. It would be the wrong decision to die together with Chu Ning now.
But Chu Ning invited the Qin army to fight, and he was poisoned. If they refused under such circumstances, the morale of the Qin army would plummet.
In a word, whether he accepts it or not, he has been pushed to the extreme.
As he was hesitating, he heard Chu Ning sneer, "Why, are you scared?"
Wu Zhao's beautiful face also revealed a sneer: "Is this the Emperor of Qin? You don't even have this much courage. No wonder you were defeated by the Crown Prince of Chu and me in succession."
"If you are afraid, admit defeat now and take your people back to Julu City!"
The two of them sang the same tune and actually described Ying Zheng as worthless.
Ying Zheng, who was already arrogant, suddenly became furious, his eyes widened, and his aura suddenly exploded, and he was about to agree.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhang Han behind him hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, don't fall into the trap!"
"They are so eager to see you fight, there must be something fishy going on."
Meng Kuo also hurriedly explained: "Chu Ning has always been cunning, and now the poison has taken effect. Perhaps he wants to deliberately provoke Your Majesty and ask you to go and fight."
Ying Zheng, who was originally angry, suddenly calmed down.
Yes, with Chu Ning's personality, it is impossible for him to fight him for no reason.
Could it be that this kid knows that he doesn't have much time left, so he wants to die together with others?
Humph, how could he, the great Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, perish together with people like Chu Ning?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, Chu Ning, you've been poisoned by the blood spider. I'm afraid you won't live for many days!"
"Why should I fight you? After you die, I can defeat your troops and capture the Empress of the Great Zhou alive. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Chu Ning raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect Ying Zheng to refuse.
But he did not lose momentum. Instead, he said with a look of sarcasm: "You don't even dare to accept the challenge of a person who is poisoned. You still call yourself the number one emperor in the world!"
This is the title that Ying Zheng cares about most.
The joking was just to stimulate Ying Zheng.
But Ying Zheng seemed to have seen through Chu Ning's plan and smiled contemptuously: "How dare you use such a provocation in front of me?"
"Chu Ning, do you overestimate yourself, or underestimate me?"
"However, since you want to see if I am the number one emperor in the world, I will satisfy you."
"General Zhang, order the cavalry to charge!"
Without hesitation, Ying Zheng started fighting directly.
Zhang Han was not surprised by this. Just before Chu Ning came here, they had already discussed taking the initiative to attack while the Chu-Zhou coalition forces were setting up camp and had not yet established a firm foothold.
"Order the 20,000 cavalrymen in the West Camp, target the Chu-Zhou coalition, charge!"
At Zhang Han's command, the messenger behind him immediately waved two flags crosswise toward the west.
To the west, the Qin army camp suddenly opened.
The war drums roared, and the twelve black iron gates of the Qin army camp fell to the ground with a loud bang.
When the Qin cavalry poured out, even the sunlight was crushed by the armor plates - the war horses were covered with green rhinoceros leather face armor, the knights' black iron armor was covered with frost flowers, and the edges of their lances were uniformly polished into a strange crescent shape.
The five hundred cavalry guards who were rushing in the front suddenly tore off their scarlet cloaks, revealing the triple-shoot crossbows on their backs. The poisoned arrowheads glowed purple like a centipede in the night.
As soon as the Chu army sentry tower struck the bronze bell, the deer fortress was crushed by the torrential iron hooves.
The first wave of crossbow arrows penetrated the open gate and nailed the Zhou army who were tying the lasso to the wooden fence.
Before the blood mist exploding from the neck of the man who was shot by the arrow had landed on the ground, the Qin army's vanguard had already split into three groups and carved into the camp.
The cavalry on the left wing swung out their caltrop chain hammers and swept the newly lit bonfire towards the cowhide tent. The lancers on the right wing targeted the Chu army's messengers and stabbed them. When the lance tips pierced through the bronze armor, there was a loud noise like metal hitting stone.
The heavy cavalry in the central army rolled over the grain carts like iron plows. The cracking sound of the wheels crushing the quivers mixed with the sound of millet splashing, startling the war horses in the stables so much that they broke their reins.
The flag of Zhou general Ji Huan was cut off in mid-air by a Qin army captain just as it was halfway raised.
The bearded man swung his sword with sparks, and the fine iron flagpole broke into two halves like a young bamboo.
As the black horse under his crotch neighed, thirty iron cavalrymen had already formed a cone formation and tore through the guards, and their horses' hooves trampled spider-web cracks on the bronze shields.
The defeated coalition soldiers rushed to the unfinished eastern wall, only to find that the Qin cavalry had already circled behind them to intercept them.
These Longxi warriors, without horse armor, hung upside down on both sides of the horses' bellies, holding eight-foot-long sickle spears to cut people's knees.
Just as the head of the Chu army general was lifted up by the spear tip, a dull sound like an earthquake suddenly came from the northwest - five hundred heavily armored chariots pressed in from the horizon, and as their iron-clad axles rolled over the mound, they headed straight for the coalition forces.
The remaining coalition forces tried to form a tortoise shell formation to resist, but were cut down by the Qin army's crossbowmen using a reverse pearl curtain formation.
After the triangular arrowhead penetrated the triple leather shield, it still had enough strength to pierce the throat of the third row of soldiers.
As the cold wind swept through the devastated camp, the Qin army's vanguard was already stepping on the blood-stained rammed earth, smashing the captured Chu army's Kui-patterned drumsticks against the surrounding fences.
The sudden attack seemed to leave the coalition forces without any ability to fight back.
Ying Zheng rode his horse to watch the battle, with a look of satisfaction on his face: "Chu Ning, Wu Zhao, the fighting power of your coalition is only this good!"
He only used 20,000 cavalry to break into the allied camp!
If the war continues like this, the coalition forces will surely collapse.
But strangely, Chu Ning and Wu Zhao turned a blind eye to this and were not worried at all.
This scene surprised Zhang Han a little, and he secretly became alert.
At this moment, Chu Ning smiled contemptuously: "Ying Zheng, you are still as confident as ever!"
"But if I tell you that you have been tricked again, how would you feel?"
"Fell into a trap?"
Ying Zheng was shocked in his heart, but laughed on the surface: "Now our army is making good progress and has killed so many of your allied forces that they have no power to resist. How can you be a trap?"
Having said that, he secretly winked at Meng Kuo, indicating that he should immediately send someone to check the surrounding situation.
Meng Kuo had fought with Chu Ning several times and knew that Chu Ning was difficult to deal with, so he secretly retreated and personally led people to check it out.
But Meng Kuo's actions could not be hidden from Chu Ning's eyes. Seeing this, he could not help but sneer: "It's too late to react now!"
"Ying Zheng, do you think I will let your people break into the camp so easily?"
"This is just my strategy to lure the enemy in. Now that they have gone in, don't come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, puffs of dust were heard in the distance.
A huge flag appeared in the west with a big "Feng" written on it!
Then, a slender figure, accompanied by the cold wind, rode towards the rising sun.
