Princess Chongwen Ma Yuan was very depressed, after all, such a big thing happened, where could she accept it for a while?

Her husband actually collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, but he was completely in the dark.

Although he was quite angry about this, and hated why his husband did this to him, when he was sentenced to death, his heart was very entangled.

She hated her husband, but she didn't want to see him die. The question is that if the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is so big, and it is his own brother who is the opposite, how can he persuade his brother to let his husband go? How can he persuade his husband to change his mind and not to do such a rebellious thing?

As a result, there is no way but to feel sorry for yourself.

The war outside seemed to have nothing to do with her, as if the hut was isolated.

Just as Ma Yuan was in distress as always, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps outside, followed by some unusual movements.

Before she could react, the door was kicked open, and a group of bloodied soldiers rushed in.

"Who are your subordinates, dare to trespass into the residence of this princess, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will blame you?" Ma Yuan found that these people were all fresh faces, and the guards guarding the door did not appear, and he was a little scared in his heart.

"Are you pretending to be Princess Chongwen?" the first person was Shao Yi, looking at Ma Yuan, "Yes! Who would dare to call herself a princess here except you?"

Ma Yuan thought at first that these were all Nancheng soldiers and horses, after all, the other party was wearing the uniforms of his own soldiers, and he thought which general was deployed. But when he heard the word fake, he immediately reacted.

No one will use these two words except for the hostile forces.

The question is how can there be enemy troops disguised as Nancheng soldiers inside your own level?

In panic, he shouted, "Someone!!"

"Shut up!" Shao Yi rushed forward and directly pressed the tip of his blood-stained knife against her throat, "Be quiet, if you make any more noise, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"

"What do you want to do?" Ma Yuan trembled with fright, and unconsciously retracted the volume.

"Let me get out of the customs, as long as I am honest and obedient, I won't embarrass you!" Shao Yi turned his head and signaled for her to go outside the house.

"It's useless to arrest this palace, don't want to threaten Your Majesty with this palace!" Ma Yuan said tremblingly, "In front of Jiangshan Sheji, Your Majesty will not be coerced!"

"You think too much, no one threatens Ma Jian with you!" Shao Yi urged, "Please come with us!"

Ma Yuan was coerced to leave the house, and when she saw several guards lying in a pool of blood at the door, she turned pale with fright and her legs and feet were weak.

In order not to be killed on the spot by the other party, he could only cooperate obediently, and walked to the other side with Shao Yi and the others leaving the house.

When they arrived at a remote corner of the checkpoint, they were stunned to find another team waiting here, and there was one person between them, it was Pei Ji, who was covered in bruises and wearing prison clothes.

Ma Yuan's mind was in a mess? I don't know what the situation is now? Conditioned reflex stretched out his hand and pointed at Pei Ji: "You...... You really ...... with the enemy."

Pei Ji was actually quite hurt when he heard this, and others doubted him, even his wife didn't believe in him, how could he feel good?

Just as he was about to speak, Shao Yi urged: "General Pei, you can't delay any longer! After you have something to say, your husband and wife will say it slowly in person, but I will help you bring people to the end of your righteousness." If you don't leave, you can't talk about it!"

Pei Ji nodded when he heard this: "Okay! Let's go." ”

Ma Yuan wanted to resist, telling them that he didn't want to leave, and he didn't want to go out of the enemy camp. Being a hostage of the other party's threat to her brother was something she never wanted to happen. But in the face of the cold weapon in the opponent's hand, he couldn't muster up the courage.

"Please!" Shao Yi took the two to the pit? Someone answered below, and carefully helped Pei Ji, who was covered with injuries, to go down.

Ma Yuan hesitated and didn't want to go in, but was urged by Shao Yi, afraid that he would cut it with a knife, after all, the blood on the blade was still there, it was too scary, so he could only follow him into the pit, and honestly walked along the tunnel, escorted by the Chinese soldiers.

Here, Pei Ji and Ma Yuan entered the tunnel, and another army led by Ning Yong immediately moved and set fire to the granary at the checkpoint, creating chaos.

The fire broke out together, and they shouted everywhere: "The granary is out of water!"

Taking advantage of the gathering of patrols in the pass to fight the fire, Ning Yong led people from the corridor below to approach the garrison point that controlled the gate of the pass and launched a surprise attack.

Ma Jian never expected that his army would fight at the pass wall, and there would be enemy troops who would sneak into the pass unknowingly and attack the gate guards under their feet.

"Go to the water! Go to the water!" Ma Jian and the generals of Nan Cheng, who were focused on Ning Ze, were frightened by the soldiers who rushed here to report the news in a panic, and turned their heads to see that the granary area in the Guannai was indeed full of smoke and chaos.

"What's going on?Why did the granary run out of water for no reason?" Ma Jian asked anxiously, "Hurry up and put out the fire!"

"Your Majesty, there are enemy soldiers in the pass, killing the granary guards and deliberately setting fire. Although our side urgently put out the fire, the fire is too great to be extinguished for a while! I am afraid that the enemy army is still in the pass, please send troops back to defend it immediately!"

"How is it possible?!" Not only Ma Jian, but everyone at the scene showed an expression of disbelief at the same time, "Our army is tightly guarding the pass, and there is no negligence, can the enemy still fly away?"

When Feng Qiao heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank: "Oh no! Your Majesty, you've been tricked!"

"A few of you, hurry up and lead the troops to the granary to put out the fire! At the same time, search the pass, and be sure to find out the enemy!" Ma Jian ordered Ma Lian, Ma Jin, and Ma Xiu urgently. Seeing that they quickly dispatched and turned to Feng Qiao, "What does the military advisor mean by this?"

"Your Majesty, Ning Ze's army is scolding outside the pass, and the gongs and drums are not stopping. The minister originally thought that the other party was boosting morale and creating momentum. At present, it seems that the sound of gongs and drums is actually a cover-up, and the enemy must have taken advantage of our attention to be attracted and secretly dug tunnels to sneak into the pass to create chaos! If this is the case, we should immediately send reinforcements to guard the gate. In case of being ...... by enemy troops"

Before the words fell, there was a sudden shock under his feet. The gate of the pass suddenly fell, and the entrance opened directly.

Ma Jian and the generals of Nancheng changed their faces drastically, and sure enough, they saw that the army of Guan Pass Ningze had reorganized their ranks, and the cavalry took the lead and led the army to rush over.

"Stop them!!Don't let Ning Ze enter the pass!!" Ma Jian shouted in panic, "Zu Hong, quickly lead the troops to recapture the gate and block the enemy army!"

"Whew!" Zu Hong hurriedly rode his horse down and led his troops to the gate.

All the Nancheng soldiers on the city wall attacked desperately, the archers continued to shoot, and the arrows rained intensively.

The defenders threw logs and rolling stones and sprinkled gold juice to prevent the Chinese army from approaching the open gate.

Zu Hong's soldiers and horses rushed to the vicinity of the gate and confronted Ning Yong's team head-on, starting a fierce battle to capture the gate.

Ma Jian and his generals were not idle, desperately resisting the attacking troops on the city wall, vowing to keep the other side out of the gate.

Ning Ze saw that the defenders of the pass were resisting fiercely, and it was difficult for his troops to rush through the rain of arrows and various traps to defend the city, so he decisively controlled the strange-winged moa to fly into the sky and attack condescendingly.

First threw a fire attack at the center of Zuhong's troops in Guannei, and the raging flames burned Li Hu's soldiers and horses into chaos, and the advantage in fighting with Ning Yong's team disappeared in an instant.

Immediately afterward, bombs began to be dropped above the walls, mainly against the archers defending the city and the teams throwing traps.

The explosions one after another caused large-scale damage to the defenders of the city, and even frightened Ma Jian, Feng Qiao, Yang Zhao and other Nancheng generals to flee in a hurry to avoid being affected by the explosion.

The main general fled, which naturally affected the defenders, and was bombed by Ning Ze again, and the degree of resistance was reduced by half.

The Chinese army seized the opportunity, finally broke through the defense, broke through the checkpoint all the way, directly joined Ning Yong, and launched a strong attack on Zuhong's soldiers and horses.

Ma Jian left the city wall and quickly returned to the pass, where the civil and military generals protected him and urgently retreated.

Ning Ze drove the strange-winged moa to chase all the way, but was desperately resisted by the Nancheng Imperial Forest Army, and the salvo of the bow and crossbow prevented him from getting close.

Seeing that the other party was desperately trying to protect Ma Jian, Ning Ze avoided the rain of arrows and raised his hand to attack, burning the Nancheng Imperial Forest Army to wail constantly.

Zu Hong led the Lihu army to resist hard, but the Chinese soldiers and horses were unstoppable, and they directly killed them in the pass and even surrounded them.

The Lihu soldiers around him continued to die in battle, and if they continued to fight, they would be wiped out sooner or later.

Looking back, he saw that the soldiers and horses in Nancheng were constantly retreating, and no one could gallop to help him, so Zu Hong was disillusioned and could only surrender.

As soon as Zu Hong surrendered, the Chinese army poured in without hindrance and began to seize the garrison points on the city wall.

The defenders of Nancheng resisted for a while, fleeing and surrendering, and it didn't take long for the garrisons near the pass gate to be occupied.

Ma Jian panicked, and several brothers returned from the granary to report: "The granary fire is getting stronger and stronger, and there is no way to rescue!"

The granary was burned, and there was not much military ration left, only a little left to carry with him. Ning Ze's army had already entered the pass, and the strategy of relying on the city wall to hold on was broken. Faced with this situation, we can only abandon our positions and retreat quickly!

It's useless to be unwilling, if you don't evacuate in time, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave.

Ma Jian hurriedly ordered: "The whole army withdraws from the pass and retreats quickly! Who will pick up my sister and the national teacher?"

"The minister is willing to lead the troops there!" Liu Pan, the Taishou of Qiangyang, took the initiative to ask Ying, and led the troops to the residence of Princess Chongwen first.

Ma Jian's team quickly escaped from the back door of the pass, looking back from time to time, lest Ning Ze chase from the air.

After running some distance away from the pass, there was a sudden chaotic sound of horses' hooves behind him.

Nan Chengbing will be on alert immediately, extremely nervous.

Fortunately, it was the national teacher Xin Tieshan who caught up, as well as the team he led.

Ma Jian put his mind at ease, and when he caught up, he hurriedly asked, "National Teacher, have you ever seen Liu Taishou?"

"No!" Xin Tieshan shook his head, "Your Majesty, why did Ning Ze's soldiers and horses attack the pass so quickly?"

"Ning Ze was too cunning, he actually used gongs and drums to cover up, digging tunnels and sneaking into the pass!" Ma Jian gasped in embarrassment.

"In such a short period of time, how can it be possible to dig into the Guannai?" Xin Tieshan deliberately pretended to be incredulous.

Feng Qiao said: "I'm afraid that with the help of the abilities of those monsters, we still don't know enough about Ning Ze's strength!"

"So what now?" Xin Tieshan asked.

"The military rations have all been burned, so we can only return to Wubao County for the time being!" Feng Qiao replied.
