Chapter 745 Why aren’t you laughing?
Chu Ning's challenge put the prince in a dilemma.
If I take it, I'm worried that I won't be able to win. Not only will I lose face, but I won't be able to get He Qingyun's body back.
If he didn't answer it, it would be even more embarrassing, as it would be equivalent to telling everyone that the prince was afraid of Chu Ning.
The Fourth Prince Chu Ying, who was watching this scene from a restaurant in the distance, raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of amusement.
"The King of Chu is still as tough as ever. He even dares to challenge the Crown Prince!"
Liu Yunqing behind him chuckled: "This is the custom of our dynasty. When in doubt, you can challenge and resolve the issue with force."
Chu Ying chuckled: "The prince is hesitant, and I don't know if he will agree."
"Will!"
Liu Yunqing said firmly: "He has a large number of troops, and he was provoked by Chu Ning in public. If he does not accept it, he will lose face.
Besides, He Peng was also present, and he would never let the prince refuse. "
As soon as he finished speaking, He Peng fell to his knees on the street with a thud.
"Your Highness, please make the decision for me!"
"The King of Chu is so bold and reckless. If his prestige is not destroyed, won't he ride on your head in the future?
"Besides, you have a thousand cavalrymen under your command, and he only has three hundred. With three times the number of troops, you will surely win!"
Now that it has come to this, how can we retreat?
The prince narrowed his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed across them.
Yes, Chu Ning took the initiative to provoke him, how could he refuse when he had the advantage in military strength?
Thinking of this, the prince's eyes turned cold, and a ruthless look flashed across his eyes: "Master He, don't be anxious. I will definitely destroy Chu Ning's prestige today!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Chuchu and said in a cold voice: "Eighteenth brother, you have to think clearly. Fighting with a small number against a large number will not be good for you.
Don't let that happen. You said I win by numbers!"
Chu Ning smiled contemptuously: "The cavalry under the Crown Prince's command has only been trained for a few months. They can't be a match for the White Horse Cavalry under my command."
The naked mocking words instantly angered the prince.
"good, very good, excellent!"
The prince clenched his hands tightly, his eyes flashing with anger, and immediately waved his hand: "All troops, listen to my order, go out of the city and fight, life or death!
For those who died in this battle, I will support your families and give you an additional 500 taels of silver as compensation.
If you kill one person, you will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver. If you kill three people, you will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver. If you kill five people, you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver and promoted one level! "
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. The Sizhou cavalry immediately became very motivated and rushed straight out of the city.
Seeing this, Chu Ning sneered and said, "White Horse Cavalry, if you kill one person today, you will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver. If you kill three people, you will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver. If you kill five people, you will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver!"
Compared with the prince's reward, Chu Ning's reward was more generous.
It's just that he is not a general now, so he can't promise a promotion.
At the command, the white horse cavalry also rushed out of the city gate.
Outside the city, two armies faced each other.
Chu Ning and the prince rode their horses and stood at the city gate to watch the battle.
"Chu Ning, you don't really think your cavalry is invincible?" The prince said with a mocking look on his face.
Chu Ning smiled contemptuously: "I can't say whether I am invincible, but I should have no problem defeating the cavalry under your command, Prince."
"boast!"
The prince snorted coldly: "If you lose later, I will see how arrogant you can be."
While the two were talking, the two opposing armies charged at the same time.
Ran Ming took the lead, holding a spear, with his eyes wide open and roaring.
"Kill!"
"Come on!"
The White Horse Cavalry formation suddenly split into a "human" shape, with Ran Ming leading the front, like a long spear, piercing fiercely into the Sizhou cavalry camp.
Ran Ming's superb strength burst out at this moment. He spun the spear in his hand and swept it out, sweeping away a large group of Sizhou cavalry in front of him.
The huge force caused them to crash into their own people, and they screamed in pain and heard wailing everywhere.
The white horse cavalry behind him rushed in and pierced through like a sharp sword.
The soldiers of Sizhou knew that this battle was of great importance. None of them retreated, and they charged forward waving their weapons.
But as soon as the two sides fought, the Sizhou cavalry realized how powerful the white horse cavalry were in front of them.
Whether in speed or strength, they are far inferior to each other.
Moreover, the White Horse Cavalry seemed to have a method. They kept charging and attacking like a horse on a parade, and did not stay in one place.
This scene made Chu Ning, who was watching the game, nod slightly.
After several years of training, the White Horse Cavalry has become very proficient in combat.
Just a few more charges would tear the Sizhou cavalry formation apart, and then it would be time for them to massacre!
The prince on the side frowned, looking embarrassed.
Although he knew that the White Horse Cavalry had left, he had never actually seen it. Now, seeing the Sizhou Cavalry being attacked by the White Horse Cavalry, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
But He Peng, a civil servant standing next to them, could not see through this. He only saw that the Sizhou cavalry had surrounded the White Horse cavalry and thought the situation was settled.
"Hahahaha, they're surrounded, surrounded, they're dead!"
He Peng laughed wildly and felt that he had a sure win.
Chu Ning smiled and said nothing, just waiting for the result.
Soon, the Baima soldiers were surrounded by the Sizhou cavalry in a "human" shaped battle formation.
However, no matter how they attacked, they could not break through the White Horse Cavalry formation.
Instead, at this moment, Ran Ming shouted: "Change the formation!"
The White Horse Cavalry charged forward on their horses, and the "human"-shaped battle formation turned into a "cross" formation, dividing the Sizhou cavalry into four parts.
"Kill!"
Ran Ming let out a long roar, waved the weapon in his hand with excitement, and continuously swept away the Sizhou cavalry in front of him.
He was like a human meat grinder. Wherever he passed, there were corpses everywhere and screams were heard. No one could match him.
In just the blink of an eye, more than fifty people died at the hands of Ran Ming.
The White Horse Cavalry were not much behind. After dividing the battlefield, they killed the Sizhou Cavalry in their own area one by one.
The weapons in their hands are refined and much sharper than ordinary weapons, making their attacks very sharp.
The armor on his body is made of tempered steel, so there is no damage even if it is cut by ordinary weapons.
Relying on the advantages of weapons and strong armor, the White Horse Cavalry killed the Sizhou soldiers and defeated them step by step, leaving them with no strength to fight at all.
After all, the Sizhou cavalry had just been recruited and had only been trained for two months. How could they be a match for the White Horse Cavalry?
After being divided, their formation was in chaos and was broken up by a charge from the White Horse Cavalry, which forced them to fight on their own and unable to exert their combat effectiveness.
On the other hand, the White Horse Cavalry charged in a group, and each charge caused the Sizhou Cavalry to scream in pain.
This scene made the prince terrified.
At this moment, the prince regretted that he should not have agreed to Chu Ning's challenge.
"Stop, everyone, stop!" the prince suddenly shouted.
But Chu Ning said calmly: "How can we stop when the victory or defeat is not decided yet?"
If we stop, it will be hard to say who will win or lose.
Unless the prince admits defeat voluntarily!
