Chapter 534 Military Order, Control of Military Power, and Disruption of Military Morale!
Xiahou Ren's face turned gloomy when facing Chu Ning's accountability.
"I will take my men to guard the front camp right away!"
After saying this, Xiahou Ren turned and left.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Chu Ning said calmly: "General, you made a mistake in command tonight. From now on, the entire army will be commanded by me."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiahou Ren's face changed drastically. He did not expect that Chu Ning would seize this opportunity to seize his military power.
Xiahou Ren narrowed his eyes and a hint of coldness flashed across them: "Your Highness, the King of Chu, the situation is not yet so serious. I can handle it."
"is it?"
Chu Ning sneered: "If the enemy breaks through the front camp and causes our army to lose its food and grass, then I will use your head as a sacrifice!"
Xiahou Ren fell silent.
Others don’t know the situation in the front camp, but he knows it best.
If the front camp and food supplies were really lost, as the general, he would definitely be responsible.
What's more, he had already transferred the troops from the front camp, so it would be too late to go over to provide support now.
Instead of waiting for Chu Ning to blame, it is better to throw this hot potato to Chu Ning.
Even if Chu Ning led his troops to provide support at this moment, it would probably be too late, and the responsibility could then be put on Chu Ning.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Ren's eyes turned cold: "If His Royal Highness the King of Chu wants to say so, then what if I hand over the troops to you, but the front camp and food are still lost?"
Chu Ning sneered: "Whoever loses the front camp and the food must be punished, including me!"
This is exactly what Xiahou Ren was waiting for!
"You, the King of Chu, said this yourself!"
Xiahou Ren lifted the tent curtain and shouted to the generals outside: "Generals, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will personally lead the troops to the front camp for support.
If we lose this battle and the food and fodder are lost, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is willing to take responsibility!"
The generals sneered and said nothing.
Chu Ning was not surprised by this. He stood up and walked out of the tent, glanced at everyone, and said coldly:
"This battle is of great importance. I have to make it clear that anyone who dares not obey my orders will be killed without mercy!"
"All soldiers and horses, listen to the order immediately and rush to the front camp!"
After he finished speaking, Chu Ning jumped on his horse and rushed out first. Ran Ming immediately followed with the white horse cavalry.
The Chu army generals looked at Xiahou Ren, and seeing that he did not refuse, they led their troops to the front camp.
At this moment, the front camp was already engaged in a fierce battle!
Without the main force to guard the camp, the hundreds of people guarding the camp were defeated by the Yan army.
"Fight in!"
Yan Yucheng's face was full of excitement as he commanded his troops to charge into the camp.
For a moment, the Yan army was in high spirits and poured into the Chu army camp like a tide.
The Chu army was so frightened by the large number of Yan troops that they dared not fight and retreated again and again.
The Yan army quickly searched the front camp and soon found the granary.
"General, the granary is over there!"
"Hahahaha, very good. Pass the order down and send someone to load the food immediately."
At the command, the Yan army split into two, one part pursuing and the other loading food.
As for Le Yi's 20,000 people, they had been forgotten by Yan Yucheng.
At this moment, Yan Yucheng was only thinking about his own achievements. He didn't care about Le Yi's life or death. He even hoped that Le Yi would die there.
But just as the Yan army was loading food, the pursuing Yan army encountered the Chu army led by Chu Ning.
Seeing that some people retreated, Chu Ning's face darkened: "Stop them!"
The defeated soldiers were brought to Chu Ning.
"How is the battle going on ahead?"
"Reporting to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, our army is defeated...defeated, and the enemy is loading food!"
After these words were spoken, Xiahou Ren sneered in his heart.
No matter how capable you, Chu Ning, are, you are powerless to save the situation tonight!
Even if they charge forward now, the Yan army will fight back desperately. Once the Yan army takes away all the food, Chu Ning will be blamed.
By then, Chu Ning would no longer be able to seize his military power.
While he was deep in thought, he heard Chu Ning snort coldly: "Pass the order, all troops charge, anyone who dares to retreat a step will be killed without mercy!"
At the command, Chu Ning led the charge on horseback.
When the Chu army saw that their own princes were charging over, they dared not hesitate and followed immediately.
What's more, the Yan army wanted to steal their food, so of course they would fight to the death.
Without food, they would starve to death here. How could they allow the Yan army to take away the food right under their noses?
The Chu army rushed forward and met the Yan army head-on, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.
Ran Ming, who had been away for a long time, held a spear in his hand, with a ferocious look on his face. He galloped back and forth on his horse, killing the Yan army and making them scream in pain.
Under the protection of his personal soldiers, Chu Ning killed many Yan soldiers.
The terrain inside the camp was relatively open, suitable for the White Horse Cavalry to charge, and no one could stop them.
But even so, Xiahou Ren just sneered.
No matter how hard Chu Ning tried, it was impossible to break through the direction of the Yan army at this time and stop the Yan army from transporting the food away.
Everything was within his expectations!
Although there were some deviations, it was harmless and Chu Ning fell into his trap.
After this battle, Xiahou Ren will be the only one who has the final say on the military power here.
Thinking of the exciting thing, a hint of amusement appeared on Xiahou Ren's face.
At the same time, Yan Yucheng, who was commanding troops to transport food and fodder, received the news.
"General, the enemy army is coming to support us. Our army is resisting, but the enemy's attack is too fierce. I'm afraid we can't hold it off for too long!"
Yan Yucheng frowned.
Didn’t Xiahou Ren say that he was leading his troops to support the rear camp and besiege Le Yi? Why did he bring his men here?
However, now is not the time to think about these things. The food must be transported away first.
"Send the order, have General Li hold off the enemy for half an hour, and then retreat after I have transported all the food and fodder away!"
"Yes!" the messenger responded and immediately went down to deliver the message.
Yan Yucheng was also not idle, and shouted: "Hurry up and load up the food, and take away what can be transported first."
To be on the safe side, they had to transport the loaded food away first to prevent the food and grass from being destroyed when the main force of the Chu army arrived.
The Yan army was divided into two. They were outnumbered by the Chu army and could only stop the Chu army, but the Chu army would definitely break through the defense and kill here.
If so much food is not transported away first, it will definitely be destroyed.
At the order, the Yan army began to transport the food out.
Xiahou Ren, who was fighting fiercely in the camp, saw this scene from afar and couldn't help but sneer: "The food has been transported away. Let's see how arrogant you can be this time!"
Chu Ning just said in front of everyone that as long as the grain is taken away, there will be punishment!
Looking at the food and fodder that were continuously being transported out of the camp, a look of pride appeared on Xiahou Ren's face.
Chu Ning's reputation has been so high recently, but he is still going to fall into his hands!
Thinking of this, Xiahou Ren rode his horse to Chu Ning and shouted:
"Your Highness, the enemy has begun to transport food. Our army has been unable to break through the enemy's defenses. I wonder if Your Highness has any countermeasures?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the morale of the Chu army, which was originally fighting fiercely, suddenly dropped.
Chu Ning's expression also changed, and he turned around and stared at Xiahou Ren fiercely.
This guy did it on purpose!
He is deliberately disrupting the morale of the troops!
In this way, the Chu army had no way to break through the Yan army's defense!
After this battle, Xiahou Ren will definitely hold me accountable for this!
