king and his guard

Longli distributed armors and uniforms to his soldiers. He planned to give titles to Lin Fengying and other leaders, but Lin Fengying politely refused.

After finishing the troops, Xue Ai continued to march towards Tianyong Pass, and within three days she finally arrived smoothly.After setting up camp, they sent Sikong Qifeng, Yue Kai, Wu Shuang and several leaders of Lin Fengying's men to lead the troops to Tianyong Pass to fight.

At Tianyong Pass, Su Liang had already arrived, and when he learned that Xue Ai sent troops to tackle the pass, he immediately dispatched some deputy generals to lead his troops out of the pass to meet the enemy.

The gate of the city is wide open, the suspension bridge is lowered, and a large number of soldiers will pour out from the city. Su Liang and An Rong stand on the high gate to watch the battle, but they see the fierce fighting, the screaming of the horses, and the flames of war.

There are many martial arts heroes on Xue Ai's side, all of them possess unique skills, and it is even easier to deal with ordinary soldiers.

Su Liang saw that most of his soldiers had been lost, while the enemy's generals were all brave. If the battle continued, the casualties would be even greater, so he hastily ordered to withdraw his troops.

An Rong stopped him and said, "Withdrawing troops at this time, wouldn't it increase the morale of the enemy army?"

But Su Liang said: "The enemy troops are all brave. I don't think they are idlers. If we continue to fight, it will be harmful to us. It is better to withdraw troops early and discuss later!"

An Rong said coldly: "Hmph! Thanks to you, you are still a battle-tested general! Don't you know the principle of one effort, one decline, and three exhaustion? What's the point? This general ordered you to send [-] soldiers and horses to go out of the border for reinforcements, and this battle must be won!"

Su Liang frowned, and thought to himself: An Rong, you bastard, my soldiers were killed and wounded in the battle, and I need to send reinforcements. Could it be that your soldiers are all just for display?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he immediately ordered: "Ming Jin retreats!"

Xue Ai's army was fighting fiercely, when they suddenly heard the sound of the enemy's cry of gold, all the generals led the remnant soldiers and horses to flee back, the city gate was quickly closed, and the suspension bridge was pulled up.Xue Ai waved her hand and ordered: "The morale of the enemy army has been frustrated, let's go back to camp for now!"

Watching Xue Ai lead the army back, An Rong said angrily: "If we send more reinforcements in this battle, we will surely beat the enemy army to pieces. Now it's good, let them show off first!"

Su Liang retorted without showing any weakness: "An Rong, this is not a child's play! You can't see the opponent's situation clearly, and you will only increase the casualties if you keep fighting hard!"

"You! If you are as timid as you are, let's see how you can defeat this chaotic party!" An Rong said, throwing his sleeves and leaving in a rage.

Tianyong's closed city gate is strong, and there is a moat outside. It is not easy to break into it. Now that Su Liang can't keep it closed, the more difficult it is to give the opponent a slight chance to slow down.

Xue Ai sent troops again the next day, expecting that they might not be able to retreat, so this time, An Rong's uncle and brother An Xiaoxian was brought to the front of the battle.

An Rong was observing the enemy's situation from the high city gate. The army pressed the border, waving the flag and shouting. Brother, save me! Brother Rong, save me!"

An Rong shouted angrily: "Xue Ai, you despicable bastard! How dare you take this general as a hostage!"

Xue Ai didn't say much, and directly put an arrow and bow against An Xiao's back, and said sharply: "An Rong! If you don't open the city gate to fight with me again, I will shoot your brother to death immediately!"

An Xiaoxian was so scared that his pants were wet, and he shouted: "Brother Rong, save me quickly! Send troops to save me!"

An Rong immediately ordered some of his lieutenants to lead his troops out of the pass to meet the battle, and then ordered Su Liang: "The enemy's forces are strong and should not be underestimated. You and I will go out of the pass to fight together!"

Su Liang also had a taste of the bravery of Xue Ai's soldiers, so he didn't dare to be negligent, so he and An Rong went out together, and shouted that the two armies were fighting at one place, the scene was instantly chaotic, the sound of fighting and drum beating was deafening.

An Xiaoxian was tied up and mixed with the rebellious army, he was terrified to death, An Rong couldn't get close for a while, and shouted: "Don't hurt a hair of the hostage!"

In the melee, the sword has no eyes, the generals have to fight the enemy bravely, but they also have to be cautious, and Xue Ai deliberately mixes An Xiaoxian with the chaotic army.

Su Liang was angry and irritable, he messed up the overall situation just because of An Xiaoxian, it would be better to kill him with one shot, the soldiers were in panic, who would see clearly that he killed himself?With this in mind, he stabbed with a spear, An Xiaoxian let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground.

Su Liang put away his gun and returned. He thought he had done a clean job, but he didn't know that An Rong happened to be watching all of this. An Rong suddenly became furious, flew towards Su Liang, stabbed Su Liang in the chest, and cursed: "Su Liang, you bastard! How dare you kill my elder brother! Look at me killing you!"

Su Liang turned back his gun to block, and said angrily: "Which one is more important, An Xiaoxian or Tianyong Pass? Such a woman's benevolence, there is no hope of guarding the pass!"

Seeing that An Rong and Su Liang started fighting, all the soldiers were in a panic.The general turned his eyes, and his morale was shattered. Seeing that his soldiers were getting more and more dead and injured, when he found An Xiaoxian's body again, he was trampled to pieces by chaotic horses. An Rong was so angry and hated that he had no choice but to order his troops to withdraw.

Although Tianyong Pass was not captured, it also dealt a second heavy blow to the enemy.Xue Ai immediately ordered to return to the camp, to recharge her energy and prepare for the third round of attack.

When An Rong returned to the customs, he was sad for a while, he and An Xiaoxian were close since childhood, and seeing his brother's tragic death today, why didn't he feel heartbroken!It's just that the current situation makes it inconvenient to have another conflict with Su Liang, so he secretly made up his mind to tell his father that he killed Su Liang's nine clans when he moved back to the imperial court!

Su Liang also expected that An Rong would never let him go. With such disharmony inside and strong enemies outside, Tianyong Pass might not be safe.So he secretly summoned a few confidantes and said: "An Rong and I have formed a bond, and we will be killed by him in the future. I want to join Xue Ai's army, are you willing to follow?"

Everyone sighed in surprise and said in unison: "We are willing to follow the general!" Su Liang was overjoyed, so he led his confidant lieutenants and a thousand soldiers and horses to escape in the dark.

An Rong was mourning and resenting when he suddenly received a report: "General, Su Liang is heading for the rebel camp with a thousand soldiers!"

An Rong thought to himself: What is this fellow leading troops to the rebel camp in the middle of the night?With his temperament, he would never go for a sneak attack.Thinking about it carefully, he suddenly became startled, he must have killed his elder brother and was afraid of my revenge, so he led his troops to surrender Xueai!

So he hurriedly sent an order to the lieutenant general: "Hurry up and chase Su Liang with three thousand elite soldiers. If there is any resistance, shoot him to death!"
