Chapter 999 Bai Qi, are you afraid of me?
That night
The north wind was howling and the raging fire illuminated the entire mountain.
After burning for an afternoon, the fire has gradually become stronger, and the fire on three sides is spreading to the east.
Under the cover of night, the approaching firelight reflected on Chu Ning's gloomy face.
Chu Ning knew very well that if he lost this battle, he would surely die here.
Looking at the white horse soldier in front of him, he asked in a deep voice: "Are you afraid?"
Although the voice is not loud, it resounds in everyone's heart.
"Don't be afraid!" everyone shouted in unison.
They understood that their duty was to protect the prince, even if it meant dying in battle.
Chu Ning looked at those determined faces and said in a deep voice, "I just received news that the general of Qin State is leading 5,000 soldiers here!"
"Now, we don't know whether the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, but our 5,000 reinforcements have been intercepted by the enemy."
"So, we have no reinforcements in this battle and can only rely on ourselves!"
But even so, there was no sign of panic on the faces of the people in front of him.
Even if this is their last journey, as long as they are with their Crown Prince, they will have no regrets.
"Your Highness, just give the order. Even if we die in battle, we will definitely send you out!" Zhao Yu said in a deep voice.
The soldiers around him also shouted loudly: "We will protect His Highness!"
Amid the shouts of the crowd, Chu Ning nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for not abandoning me. I will live and die with you tonight!"
He swung the sharp blade in his hand and shouted angrily: "Kill them!"
Suddenly, the white horse soldiers rushed towards the foot of the mountain in the east.
However, they did not charge forward mindlessly, but sent out spies in advance to investigate the situation, fearing that the enemy might have set up an ambush along the way.
But unexpectedly, the Qin army did not set an ambush, and they easily reached the foot of the mountain.
This abnormal scene made Zhao Yu look unhappy: "Your Highness, why didn't the enemy set an ambush?"
If they set an ambush along the way, they would definitely suffer losses.
But Chu Ning shook his head and said coldly: "This is Bai Qi's strength. He will never do anything unnecessary."
"He thinks that with fire on three sides, we can only break out from the east. If we set up an ambush along the way, we might retreat."
"Plus, he was absolutely sure that he could destroy us here, so he didn't send anyone to set a trap."
As the two were talking, many torches appeared on the roads on both sides of the foot of the mountain, and the Qin army was exposed directly in front of them.
Then, a man stepped out from the crowd, and in the light of the torches, his face full of murderous intent was revealed.
Bai Qi stared at the people in the mountain and said in a cold voice: "I know you are coming down. Chu Ning, you have been surrounded. Just surrender!"
He gave up on the violent attack and chose to attack the heart.
Chu Ning took a deep breath, a solemn expression appeared on his face: "You must be Bai Qi, I didn't expect you and I to meet in such an environment."
"What a pity! I killed your entire family. If you surrender, I'm afraid you won't have a good ending!"
Everyone knows how to attack people’s hearts.
Bai Qi thought that he could control him by trapping him, but he was totally wrong.
At home, Bai Qi's face darkened upon hearing this, and he said in a cold voice: "You are still stubborn even when you are about to die!"
"I'm afraid you don't know yet, but I have already ordered the frontline troops to launch an attack to contain your Chu army in Yandi."
"At the same time, General Sima Cuo also led his men to stop Feng Anguo who came to rescue."
"Also, I will send people to stop the 20,000 soldiers behind you."
"Now, you are imprisoned, and I have many times more soldiers than you. How are you going to escape?"
"Put down your weapons and surrender. I will give you a quick death and let you keep the remaining dignity of a crown prince. How do you think?"
Although Bai Qi was angry inside, he still wanted to destroy the combat effectiveness of the White Horse Cavalry before the battle.
He was well aware of the strength of this army, so even though there were only a few hundred people in front of him, he did not dare to be careless.
It would be best if this matter could be resolved without resorting to force.
After all, the soldiers under his command are also human beings, and they have marched here in a hurry, and their physical strength has not yet fully recovered.
If this matter can be resolved without any soldiers being involved, then everyone will be happy.
But Chu Ning suddenly burst into laughter when he heard this!
"Hahahaha!"
Under the cover of night, the laughter spread far away, shocking the Qin army outside and making them extremely alert.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Chu Ning sneered: "Bai Qi, do you think I am someone who will admit defeat?"
"Since you have so many advantages and you have a grudge against me, why don't you take action immediately?"
After these words were spoken, the Qin army couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Yes, why didn’t their general take action?
Even Sword Saint Gaine was confused at this moment.
Bai Qi, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression on his face: "I will take action whenever I want. Why, do I need your consent for this?"
Faced with Chu Ning's provocation, Bai Qi suddenly felt that he had done something stupid.
Chu Ning's eloquence is recognized to be very good, so why would he bother talking to the other party and make himself look bad?
However, before he could challenge the strategy, Chu Ning sneered, "You are afraid!"
"afraid?"
This time it was Bai Qi's turn to laugh: "Haha, tell me, what am I afraid of?"
"You are afraid of me!"
Chu Ning smiled and said, "In the past three years, I have experienced countless conspiracies and intrigues, but without exception, I have always won!"
"So, you are afraid that I have a backup plan this time!"
"You are not in a hurry to take action. In fact, you are just waiting to see whether I will take out the backup plan I have arranged, right?"
These words startled Qin Jun, and he realized that the person in front of him was the crown prince of Chu.
In just three years, he went from being the emperor's illegitimate son to the crown prince, from being a lonely man to commanding a large army, and from being useless to destroying two countries in three years.
How could such a powerful person not have a backup plan?
For a moment, the Qin army became nervous.
Even Gaine raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of surprise.
No wonder Bai Qi was reluctant to attack. It turned out that he was worried about Chu Ning's next move. If they attacked first and the opponent attacked from behind, they would definitely be attacked from both sides.
First, trap Chu Ning and others here. If Chu Ning has a backup plan, he will definitely use it.
Once Chu Ning's backup plan is used up, they can kill Chu Ning with peace of mind!
While thinking, Bai Qi's frown suddenly relaxed, and he stared at Chu Ning coldly:
"You are indeed a respectable opponent. You can even guess what I am thinking!"
"Yes, I am indeed worried that you have other tricks up your sleeve, so I did not use a violent attack, but chose to use a fire attack to force you out!"
"If you had arranged other troops around, they would surely come to rescue!"
"But several hours have passed and no troops have appeared yet. It seems you have no backup plan."
Having said this, Bai Qi waved his right hand and said, "If that's the case, then prepare to die!"
"Come on, kill them all!"
"Whoever kills Chu Ning will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households and rewarded with 100,000 gold!"
At the command, the Qin army immediately became full of momentum and charged straight into the mountains!
