Chapter 343 Bitterly Holding On

"Look, this is the power you've always trusted. Now, choosing to join me is the most correct decision you've made in your life."

"Although you'll just be a puppet under my control, I can definitely give you all sorts of things you can't even imagine."

Jiang Zuo Wang remained silent, listening to the Zhen Nan Wang's words.

Engaged in a fierce battle with Zhen Nan Wang's forces were the most elite imperial guards.

However, both sides were locked in a stalemate, unable to overcome the other.

Although people occasionally emerged from Jiang Chen's side to join the battle, they couldn't change the current deadlock.

Seeing the battle so deadlocked, Zhen Nan Wang was only slightly surprised.

"Go, have the second batch of prepared cavalry begin their charge. I'm curious to see how long these guys can hold out."

Zhen Nan Wang's order made his subordinates uneasy.

They knew that many of their own people were still fighting there. If the heavy cavalry charged, friendly fire would be unavoidable.

As they hesitated over this matter, Zhen Nan Wang turned his head.

"Now, have all the heavy cavalry charge! Do I need to repeat myself?"

Seeing Zhen Nan Wang's murderous appearance, his subordinates trembled, but remained unmoved.

"Your Highness, our brothers are still fighting there. If the heavy cavalry charges, they'll be hit by friendly fire!"

Hearing his subordinate's trembling voice, Zhen Nan Wang didn't take it to heart.

"It's their honor to die for our entire tribe. Now, have all the heavy cavalry charge! I want to crush these opponents in one fell swoop!"

With that, Zhen Nan Wang drew his weapon.

Noticing that Zhen Nan Wang didn't seem to be joking, the messenger had no choice but to relay the order.

Although the people under his command found this order, which would harm both sides, very perplexing, they still carried it out according to Zhen Nan Wang's instructions.

Seeing Zhen Nan Wang, a man who had absolutely no reservations in his pursuit of victory, Jiang Zuo Wang began to worry about Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was ultimately too kind. Although Jiang Chen always appeared very cruel, Jiang Zuo Wang understood that Jiang Chen never truly had that thoroughgoing desire to kill.

"Don't worry about Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen's defeat is a foregone conclusion. Even if the backup you've been hiding doesn't take action, my own warriors will be enough to directly flatten every one of your territories."

"Now, what you need to do is think carefully about how you'll repay me when you ascend the throne."

After speaking, Zhen Nan Wang swaggered out.

Watching Zhen Nan Wang's arrogant appearance, Jiang Zuo Wang hesitated.

Now, Jiang Chen's most powerful trump card wasn't the imperial guards on the front lines, but the people under his own command.

If the Shimen Pass were closed now, they would be trapped like turtles in a jar. Even if they had more tricks up their sleeves, they wouldn't be able to escape.

He had originally intended to tell Zhen Nan Wang about these things, but now he began to hesitate.

"Really, how did I become as indecisive as you?"

Thinking of Jiang Chen, Jiang Zuo Wang sighed helplessly.

While Jiang Zuo Wang was still struggling with these matters, the battle at the front had reached a fever pitch.

Although Jiang Chen's continuous reinforcements successfully suppressed the Zhen Nan Wang's heavy cavalry, they ultimately couldn't gain any more advantages, only forcibly whittling away Zhen Nan Wang's strength.

Seeing another batch of heavy cavalry charging towards them, many people felt despair in their hearts.

After all, these heavy cavalry were much more difficult to deal with than they had imagined.

Their always-effective attacks were completely useless against these heavy cavalry.

If another new batch of heavy cavalry charged in, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just as the people at the front were ready to use themselves to forcibly stop the heavy cavalry, suddenly, a team charged out from the side, just in time to block them and the heavy cavalry.

"Your Majesty, we will never take a step back!"

With shouts, they planted their spears firmly in the ground and fearlessly squatted down to support them.

Such a tactic was usually effective against ordinary cavalry, but it was completely useless against heavy cavalry whose horses were covered in heavy armor.

It would only increase casualties.

Thinking of this consequence, many people's eyes turned red, and some of the more emotional ones even began to cry.

Just as everyone thought these people were doomed, they quickly placed the packages they were carrying on the ground.

The moment they had densely arranged all the packages they were carrying, they turned around and ran.

This behavior surprised everyone present.

The people who had been fighting stopped their actions.

While they were puzzling over this situation, the new heavy cavalry had already approached the row of spears.

Many people subconsciously closed their eyes.

After all, that simple line of defense had no chance of stopping the heavy cavalry.

Just when everyone was despairing about this, suddenly, the packages that had been placed on the ground began to emit puffs of white smoke.

These white smoke directly enveloped the heavy cavalry.

"Hahahaha, your dog emperor is really being self-deceptive and making himself look smart. Does he really think that these heavy cavalry inside the white smoke will lose their combat power just because he can't see them? How laughable."

Noticing the situation at the front, Zhen Nan Wang didn't take it seriously at all, directly pouring himself a drink, leaving Jiang Zuo Wang, whose face was uncertain, on the side.

If Jiang Chen was really as incompetent as Zhen Nan Wang said, then where would he, a defeated general under Jiang Chen, go?

Jiang Zuo Wang began to pray for Jiang Chen in his heart.

But the white mist in front was getting bigger and bigger, and no one could see what was happening inside.

As the sounds of fighting in front grew smaller and smaller, the smile on Zhen Nan Wang's face became even more arrogant.

"It seems that my heavy cavalry has already slaughtered them all. You can wait to sit on the throne that belongs to you."

With that, Zhen Nan Wang stood up.

In Zhen Nan Wang's view, even if Jiang Chen had earth-shattering abilities, he would be completely unable to turn the situation around in front of him.
