The soldiers of the Liang Dynasty on the other side of the river witnessed the rolling water, and the feeling of sadness had invaded all their bodies and minds. Now standing beside King Yu are only the golden guards under Ou Luyang and He Yunke's left guards, adding up to only 2,000 people.

In the face of the enemy facing the confrontation across the water, King Yu's mind remained clear: at present, the Lower Tang Dynasty and the Xiliang coalition army could not cross the Taoshui, but this was only a temporary barrier, after all, the Lower Tang Dynasty had already begun to build a pontoon bridge; Thirty miles behind him is Minzhou City, and the city standing on the plain is also unsafe, once the army comes to attack, I am afraid that it will not be able to resist for long.

"All the troops are in formation!" King Yu shouted loudly, "The enemy is close behind, we don't have much time, everyone hurriedly marches to Minzhou City immediately!" ”

There is not much problem for the soldiers to march in a hurry, but it is unbearable for tens of thousands of people, so King Yu led the Jin Jiawei to Minzhou first, and the left guard protected the people behind.

After the army of King Yu advanced half the way, it encountered the army that came from the direction of Minzhou City, and the other party tightened the reins of the horse.

"Weichen Liang is useless, see His Royal Highness King Yu!"

Facing the Minzhou Thorn Shi who was kneeling on the ground, King Yu didn't have any expression, "Liang is useless, it's really right that your name was obtained!" What is the purpose of your presence here? ”

"Weichen doesn't dare to deceive His Highness, Minzhou City is weak in air defense, and he really can't send more troops to help, and I hope His Highness will see it!"

"The city is empty? You mean the court didn't have any troops stationed there? ”

"Exactly! Your Highness, Weichen saw the fireworks launched by Anzhou City, but because he didn't have the troops, he couldn't rush to the aid of His Highness, and he couldn't help Weichen if he didn't want to! ”

King Yu began to realize the conspiracy behind this, but he had no intention of planning at this time, so he suppressed his anger and ordered Liang Wufu: "Return to the city immediately, and we will talk about it in detail when we get to the city!" ”

King Yu didn't wait for Liang to be useless to say anything, and when everyone arrived outside Minzhou City, King Yu ordered Liang to be useless and said: "The Xia Tang and Xiliang coalition forces have built a pontoon bridge on the shore of Taoshui, and it won't take a few hours for their iron hooves to set foot on this land, and after resettle the Anzhou refugees, burn the grain depot, hand over all the war horses in the city to our army, and we will evacuate to Yingyang Pass!" ”

"What? Your Highness, if the army is to be evacuated, what will happen to the people in the city? ”

"The people will stay in Minzhou City, the city defense of Minzhou will not be able to withstand the enemy's attack, you can surrender for the time being to protect the lives of the people in the city!"

After that, King Yu didn't plan to talk to Liang Wufu anymore, and the left rank guard was guarding the people of Anzhou to enter Minzhou City, and when the war horse arrived, he immediately drove to Yingyang Pass.

As they got farther and farther away from Minzhou City, Xuan Shaoning didn't feel good in his heart, they did this tantamount to giving Minzhou City to the enemy in vain, which was really against the style of the Xuanjia Army, but this decision was made by King Yu, he must have his reasons, and he could only obey orders as a captain.

In addition to Minzhou, there is Yunzhou on this plain, and the decision made by King Yu is still the same, these two cities cannot be defended, and only by holding the Yingyang Pass can there be hope of recovering the lost territory.

Yingyang Pass is a hundred miles away from the north of Minzhou City, and the reason why it is called Yingyang Pass depends entirely on the shape of the pass. A series of mountains stand like a natural barrier over the earth, and the mountains are so high and verdant that they are difficult for ordinary people to cross, and this mountain range has a gap in the middle for people to pass. The Liang Dynasty saw this natural danger and built a pass that could not be opened by one man and ten thousand people according to the cliffs on both sides. The front of the pass has the shape of a goshawk's head, and the mountains on both sides are like a pair of wings, so it gets the name Eagle Yangguan.

It was Zhang Hanshan who guarded the Yingyang Pass, he had a total of 10,000 soldiers under his command, and after hearing the report of the guard, he immediately stepped on the head of the city and looked out of the pass. There is a cloud of smoke and dust closer to him, and there is a cloud of smoke and dust in the distance, and there is a big flag "Xuanjia" set up nearby, and even Zhang Hanshan can't see it clearly for the time being.

The big banner of "Xuanjia" in front of him was enough to make him frightened, and he immediately ordered the pass to be opened to let the Xuanjia army enter.

As he got closer and closer to Yingyang Pass, King Yu was already aware of the tail behind him, and he immediately ordered the standard-bearer to wave the corner flag to let Zhang Hanshan not open the pass for the time being, and then ordered the army to disperse and prepare for battle.

Xuan Shaoning watched the smoke and dust getting closer and closer, and his heart sank, he didn't expect the combined forces of Xia Tang and Xiliang to catch up so quickly! There are only 2,000 people on his side, and even if there is Yingyang, the outcome is still unpredictable.

In the night, everyone was ready for a decisive battle, but unexpectedly, the big banner of the comer surprised everyone, because it was not the enemy army that came, but the god killing trio who had disappeared for a long time!

The leader is the Tai Guizong, and the Divine Killing Cavalry under his command is really worthy of being the first iron cavalry of the Liang Dynasty, even the footsteps of the Xuanjia Army are not their opponents. In less than half an hour, it went from being silent to now almost catching up, and this speed is not far behind even the Xiliang cavalry.

After a day of fighting, the army was finally able to let go of the heart of the carry, to be honest, they were already exhausted if they really had to fight, but fortunately it was friendly troops who came.

Tai Guizong tightened the reins of the horse, jumped off the horse and rushed to the front of the Yu King's array, a few staggered and knelt on the ground, and said hoarsely: "Tan Tai Guizong knocks on the King Yu!" ”

"General Yutai, hurry up!"

"No, he is a sinner! Failing to protect the three towns in the southeast, and even failing to participate in the defense of Anzhou City, resulting in all the cities on the southeast line falling into the hands of the enemy, it is all the fault of Shantai! Please also ask King Yu to kill Yutai to thank all the Liang Dynasty soldiers who died in battle! ”

King Yu had no choice but to jump off his horse to help him up and return to the sect, "There are indeed a lot of things to ask General Tangtai about the three towns in the southeast, but not now, we must enter the customs immediately, the combined forces of Xia Tang and Xiliang will soon occupy this piece of land, and we can only win a chance to breathe by defending the Yingyang Pass!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness is very right!"

"Call me a general in the army!"

"Yes, General!"

King Yu re-mounted his horse and then ordered to wave the horn flag to transmit the news to Yingyang Pass, Zhang Hanshan, who had been standing at the pass and watching everyone coldly, immediately ordered to open the two heavy gates.

These are really two wide and towering doors, half the height of the cliffs on both sides, and the thickness of the doors requires dozens of people to twist the puller at the same time to lift the deadbolt. When the rumbling door was completely opened, Xuan Shaoning was shocked, and inside the door was a smooth road, wide enough to accommodate an army to pass through. This is really an excellent strategic point that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if this Eagle Yang Pass can be guarded well, the average army really can't cross the ridge to attack the hinterland of the Liang Dynasty.

The combined forces of the three armies began to pass through the Yingyang Pass in an orderly manner, and the army of less than 50,000 men maintained strict military discipline, without making a single noise, only the sound of horses' hooves kicking. For the soldiers under the command of King Yu, it was because they were too tired and heartbroken, and most of the former robes had entrusted their lives to the southeast, and it was difficult to return to their homeland in this life; For the god killing turquoise cavalry, they basically did not participate in any battles and abandoned Jinchang City, and now the coalition forces of Xia Tang and Xiliang have reached Yingyang Pass, and their dereliction of duty is only difficult to be easily forgiven, and their fate is in the hands of King Yu at this time.

No one knows if King Yu feels the gaze behind him, all his thoughts at this time are on guarding the eagle Yang, which is the last barrier outside the pass, if it is lost here, then he is undoubtedly the sinner of the entire Liang.

Everyone walked into the Eagle Pass with different mentalities and calculations, but they all faced an arduous and unpredictable future.
