When I came to Chanzhou to pay homage to Marshal Yang again, Yuerong told Marshal Yang in detail about the meeting with the prime minister and the matter of Mr. Kou's coming to the court to meet the Holy Spirit. He also said that Kou Zhun was grateful to General Yang. Marshal Yang was overjoyed and grateful after hearing this. Yuerong said goodbye to Marshal Yang and returned to the Natural Gate.
Manager Gongsun and others came to greet him. Yuerong asked how the battle at the Natural Gate was going these past few days.
Gongsun Zhuo sighed: "The Liao army is powerful. Although all the disciples in the sect are brave, they can win every sneak attack. But the number of Liao soldiers is definitely not what our thousands of disciples of the Natural Sect can consume. After several battles Although many Liao soldiers were injured when they came down, many of my disciples also fell in a pool of blood."
Yuerong sighed: "We still need to persist a little. I guess that in less than three days, our army of 150,000 troops will be able to reach Chanzhou for rescue. Now the spring breeze is coming. After these few days of bitter cold, everything will be fine." "
Tie Zhongjie said: "Having said that, Empress Dowager Xiao is so scheming that our army is outnumbered and Chanzhou City is in danger. How could Empress Dowager Xiao miss this favorable opportunity to attack the city."
Hongyan said: "Xiao Talan has repeatedly provoked in the past few days, trying to take over Chanzhou in one fell swoop. Marshal Yang and all the soldiers defended the city to the death, so they can get a moment of peace."
Yuerong was filled with grief and anger, and simply said: "I have a plan to resolve the crisis."
Hongyan asked: "What's a good idea?"
Yuerong said: "Using the power of the natural gate to solve the difficulties of Chanzhou is like using a mantis's arm as a chariot, and it will only bring a drop in the bucket. I will go to the Liao camp tonight to assassinate the Queen Mother Xiao. If I can succeed, the Liao people will be in chaos without a war. , if the assassination fails, I will also bring back Xiao Talan's head, which will miss the spirit of the Liao soldiers."
The beauty said: "The Empress Dowager Xiao supported the country as a woman and invaded the Central Plains. She is a hero among real women and is awe-inspiring. Xiao Tatai is also experienced in hundreds of battles and is brave and fearless. This time the Liao Kingdom invaded many countries. Rely on the two of them. If one of these two can be captured, the situation will be reversed."
Gongsun Zhuo said: "It's a pity that the Liao camp is heavily guarded. How can the sect leader escape with safety?"
Yuerong said calmly: "General Manager Gongsun, don't worry too much. My magical power of transformation is combined with the Wind and Cloud Sword in the palm of my hand. There should be no problem in going back and forth in the Liao camp. If the assassination fails, I can retreat unscathed. The Liao people have suffered." If you are disturbed, we will not dare to act rashly in the future and have slowed down the offensive against our army."
Yang Yu blinked and said, "If we go for an assassination tonight, I can go with Brother Rong."
Yun Lingyan also said: "In times of crisis, with Yang Yu by your side, the sect master can also take care of you."
Yuerong smiled slightly and said, "I can go alone, so you don't have to worry too much."
So she decided to go to Liaoying to assassinate her, and Hongyan prepared everything for Yuerong. When it got deeper into the night, Yue Rong put on her night clothes, picked up the Fengyun Sword that ** Shuo had used back then, and was about to go to Liaoying. Suddenly, one of his disciples came to report: "A group of Liao soldiers are approaching near Wanku Cave, heading straight towards Chanzhou."
Hongyan said hurriedly: "Our reinforcements have not yet arrived. If the Liao soldiers attack the city again, Chanzhou will be really in danger."
Yuerong said: "It may be difficult to carry out the assassination tonight." Then he ordered his subordinates to say: "Quickly inform Master Tiemen and General Manager Gongsun, and command all the Natural Sect troops to rush to Wanku Cave to kill the Liao soldiers." Wan Cave Cave Heaven and the Natural Gate Camp are only one mile away, and they will be there in a moment.
Yue Rong's orders were decided, and he led the Natural Sect to hide among the rocks on the mountain in the dark night. The sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance. Everyone knew that the Liao soldiers had arrived. When the Liao soldiers reached the halfway point of Wanku Cave, they couldn't look at each other. At that time, Yuerong and everyone flew down from the cliff of Wankudong Tianshan Mountain and killed the Liao soldiers.
The Liao soldiers have always attacked Chanzhou unscrupulously and were not prepared for the sneak attack of the Natural Gate. This was the reason they had failed in repeated battles. But today the Liao soldiers seemed to be well prepared.
However, a surprise attack in the dark night, with the enemy clearly and secretly, was still too much for the Liao people. They heard loud shouts and earthquakes in the surrounding mountains. The Liao soldiers did not know how many people came, and they trampled on each other in panic, causing many casualties. There were even Liao soldiers who hesitated to move forward and were killed by the disciples of the Natural Sect. They fled and almost wanted to go back.
When the vanguard Xiao Talan saw that some of his soldiers were afraid of fleeing, he rode his horse forward with his sword and killed several of them. He shouted: "If there are any more fleeers, this will be the fate!"
Seeing that Xiao Talan was so threatening, his subordinates had no choice but to retreat and would be punished by military law, so they all worked bravely and moved forward regardless of death. Although the disciples of the Natural Sect can be called heroes, how can they withstand the surging enemy forces? They fought for a while, and the Liao soldiers were like water bursting through a dike, unstoppable. Yuerong and General Gongsun fought hard, but could not stop the Liao soldiers from advancing.
Yue Rong saw that the Liao army was strong, Xiao Talan was on horseback and commanded calmly, waiting calmly. He couldn't help but secretly thought: "If the stalemate continues like this, we are in danger of being annihilated." Then Yuerong said to General Gongsun beside him: "I am ordering my disciples to find ways to get it cleverly and not to be reluctant to fight. Today is a good opportunity, I will go get Xiao It's a waste of your life." Manager Gongsun responded and left.
Yuerong waved the Feng Yun Sword to separate the crowd and stabbed Xiao Talan. Xiao Talan smiled slightly on his horse and raised his sword. Suddenly, more than a dozen armored vanguards emerged from the Liao army. The attire was exactly the same as Xiao Talan's. Everyone signaled to each other and fled into the crowd on horseback. How could Yuerong know which one was real and which one was fake.
Seeing that Xiao Talan had already prepared, Yuerong thought to himself: "How could he sit back and wait for death when he knew that he had the intention of assassinating his family?" So Yuerong did not pursue him, and cut down more than a dozen Liao thieves around him in a fit of anger, got up and returned to his body. Among the disciples of the sect who are killing the enemy.
Seeing Yuerong's return, Hongyan hurriedly asked: "Have you ever succeeded?"
Yuerong shook his head and said: "Xiao Talan is full of tricks, and I will not give up until I take Chanzhou tonight. It's ridiculous that we don't even know where Xiao Talan's real body is."
Hongyan said hurriedly: "In that case, I am afraid that something will happen in Chanzhou City!"
Yue Rong tightened her eyebrows and said, "Exactly."
The two of them exchanged a few words for a moment in the light of the sword. In an instant, Yue Rong and his wife had gathered together with Mr. and Mrs. Yang Yu, Manager Gongsun, and Master Tie Sect.
Yuerong said to everyone: "This time Xiao Tatai came well prepared. Empress Dowager Xiao's strategy is far beyond everyone's imagination. At this time, I guess she has already sent troops to besiege Marshal Yang. The Liao soldiers in the caves and caves are just to contain me." Use it through the door.”
Yang Yu asked: "What should we do?"
Yuerong resolutely said: "Before the reinforcements arrive, we will defend Chanzhou City to the death!" Then he ordered the Five Expeditions and Sixteen Stars to rush out of the way from the flanks. Yuerong led the crowd to follow, hoping to catch up with this Liao soldiers. Ahead, rush to Chanzhou.
Liao Shengzong and the Empress Dowager Chengtian really spared no expense tonight. Wu Xingzhao and Sixteen Stars fought hard in front, but they were covered in blood and sweat soaked through their chests and backs. At this time, they put aside the thieves who attacked at night and rushed to get there first. Under Chanzhou City.
By the time Yue Rong led the crowd to the city, it was already bright. Watching it closely, it is even more surprising. The overwhelming Liao soldiers surrounded Chanzhou City, and the city was about to be breached.
