Liu Xin held a long sword and stood on the city wall, his armor dripping with blood.

His expression was serious, his eyes were glaring ahead, and the long sword in his hand trembled slightly.

Just now, he and his personal guards experienced a fierce battle.

The Da Rong Wolf Legion is worthy of being the elite of Da Rong, and in the frontal siege just now, several sections of the city wall almost broke through the defense.

If it weren't for Liu Xin and other soldiers, fighting desperately, I am afraid that they would have been overcome.

In a hand-to-hand fight, twenty or thirty of his guards were killed or wounded.

Liu Xin stuck his long sword on the ground, panting, his eyes scanned, and the next moment, just about to rush to the next battlefield, suddenly, a low whimpering horn suddenly sounded.

Liu Xin was stunned, he raised his head violently, and the soldiers of the Wolf Legion, who were originally fierce and fearless of death, began to evacuate one after another.

On the city wall, the soldiers who fought fiercely with them also retreated quickly, and the guards beside them who saw this scene were stunned for a while.

But they were not careless, and approached Liu Xin one after another, paying attention to the surrounding movement and environment at any time.

In a corner ahead, a team of men and horses suddenly ran.

The people who came were several of Liu Xin's lieutenants, who looked at Liu Xin covered in blood and hurriedly asked.

"General, what's wrong with you, are you hurt?"

Liu Xin shook his head and asked several lieutenants, "Is it that the wolf army has withdrawn?"

"That's right, the Lord, the Wolf Legion has withdrawn, although I don't know why, but they did withdraw, and it seems that it is a real withdrawal."

Hearing this, Liu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, looked at the wolf army in front of him who was gradually withdrawing, his eyes flashed, and he spoke.

"It must be Dongshan Bo who came to help, and we finally waited for reinforcements."

Liu Xinli was quite happy, just as he guessed, he had Su Qi'an's cold sharp knife on his back at any time, and Ya Mulei would definitely not let go of his hands and feet.

originally wanted to disturb the morale of the army, but who knew that the defenders of Tongguan had high morale after learning that Hangu Pass had been taken.

If the Wolf Legion continues to fight, it will be a very uneconomical thing.

At this time, a group of powerful sons and brothers, who threw the matter of cleaning the battlefield to their respective subordinates, came to Liu Xin and took the initiative to ask for help.

He wants to lead his troops to attack the retreating Wolf Legion.

After all, at the moment, morale is high, and the Wolf Legion is being attacked by Su Qi'an again, if they take the initiative to attack at this time, they will definitely have a lot of results.

This is especially important for these powerful marquis.

Liu Xin was excited in his heart, but he was not carried away by the victory in front of him.

Don't look at the retreat of the wolf legion, but their retreat is not a loss of armor, but an orderly order.

At this time, if they are really entangled, and they want to get out of trouble, it will be difficult.

With the terrain of Tongguan, he barely had the ability to fight with the Darong Wolf Legion, and he rushed to send troops, without any defense, and was absolutely defeated.

And most importantly, the military report that Su Qi'an passed to him wrote that Yamulei's wolf army did not know how Su Qi'an took Hangu Pass.

How many troops are in hand, the so-called flanking attack, is just a gesture, taking advantage of the dark, the two sides are in contact for the first time, and they don't know each other.

The fight is an information asymmetry, if he sends troops. , really cooperated with Su Qi'an to come to the scene.

Once in contact with the Wolf Legion, with Yamulei's experience, he will definitely be able to quickly judge the strength in Su Qi'an's hands.

Liu Xin forcibly held back the excitement in his heart and said to the people in front of him, "The enemy soldiers retreat, don't attack, in case there is fraud, but in order not to be suspicious, send a small number of men and horses to attack, and this matter will be handed over to Vice General Wang."

"Remember, you must keep your distance from the wolf legion, the bigger the noise, the better, but don't make head-on contact, wait until you have pursued twenty or thirty miles, quickly retreat, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

"The rest of the people, follow the general to quickly clean up the battlefield and strengthen the guard to prevent the enemy from sneaking up," and then greet the reinforcements of Dongshan Bo."

The order was ordered, and the lieutenants departed quickly,

But Zheng Liang and other powerful marquis are unwilling.

But they didn't have much to say, after all, they almost provoked a mutiny before, and it was normal for Liu Xin to distrust them.

Zheng Liang shook his head and motioned for everyone to leave.

About an hour later, the wolf legion completely left, and the small force that pursued quickly returned to help, and when it was about to enter Tongguan, it happened to meet Su Qi'an, who was supporting.

After confirming his identity, he did not hesitate to quickly take Su Qi'an's reinforcements back to the city.

Liu Xin changed into a new suit of armor and greeted him in the city.

Seeing Su Qi'an coming, Liu Xin's face was full of excitement, and after looking Su Qi'an up and down.

He gave Su Qi'an a thumbs up and sighed, "Dongshan Bo is really a master of art and bold, with only 5,000 men and horses, he can take Hangu Pass, and with 3,000 troops, he dares to come to support."

"Whether it is bearing, tactics, or battlefield acumen, it is a must, and being able to see such an excellent command of Dongshan Bo today really makes this general admire."

Liu Xin's praise for Su Qi'an was undisguised, and Su Qi'an also smiled back.

"Commander Liu praised it in seconds, Ben Bo just played an information asymmetry, and only then did he have a small victory, and it is not worth mentioning to face Commander Liu head-on."

The praise of both sides, the corners of Zheng Liang's mouth twitched when he saw it, but with a smile on his face, he stepped forward and first complimented Su Qi'an.

"Dongshanbo's strength, the younger brother is obvious to all, the last Ningzhou battlefield, let the younger brother admire it, this time to come to support, in the words of Commander Liu, this battle Dongshanbo should be the first merit."

Zheng Liang's sycophant made Su Qi'an a little stunned, when did he be so friendly with Zheng Liang, I don't know, I thought Zheng Liang and Su Qi'an were old friends who had known each other for many years.

Su Qi'an's stunned, Zheng Liang didn't take it to heart at all, and then turned to the two people in front of him.

"I know that the two of them have the greatest credit for this war, and when the war is over, the reward of the two is absolutely indispensable, but please Dongshan Bo, Commander Liu can see my contribution."

"Can you hand over the errand of returning to me, I promise to complete the task, and never rush to attack, as long as the two can agree, the younger brother and I will definitely obey the command of the two, and there will be absolutely no complaints."

Zheng Liang's begging was something Su Qi'an didn't expect, when would this Marquis Zheng come to this point?

Although Zheng Liang was on the battlefield in Ningzhou last time, he pitted him a little.

During this trip to the imperial city, Zheng Guogong had conflicts with him, but most of these did not kill him.

And since the identity of Su Qi'an's royal family was determined, Zheng Liang has been quite low-key.

On the contrary, in Kyoto, it was Zhao Guogong who had the biggest grudge against him.

To be honest, he never knew why the Zhao Kingdom Guild targeted him, and the only explanation was Zhao Ang's death.

But he didn't catch Zheng Liangjiang and maliciously framed him, which is very difficult to do.

Kyoto is not a place, Zheng Liang is not an ordinary person, if he really wants to get him, it is still very troublesome, and the other party has no substantial intention of attacking him, so it will be even more difficult.

Therefore, for Zheng Liang, Su Qi'an is quite vigilant, but not to the point where he has to kill.

And what Zheng Liang said just now is not wrong, when these powerful people come to the battlefield, military merit is the most important.

If you don't even give soup, after the war, the court will find a lot of trouble.

And in a war, if all the great achievements belong to one person, then it is a bit of a high achievement.

In the last Ningzhou battlefield, his feudal marquis was shelved, and it was like this, and the controversy was too great.

Being in the spotlight is not a good thing for Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an didn't say anything, just glanced at Liu Xin, and Liu Xin also understood the stakes.

After a moment of silence, he said, "I'll leave the matter of returning to you, remember, don't rush into anything, understand."

Zheng Liang nodded solemnly, looking sincere.

"Thank you Dongshanbo and Liu for your good intentions, Zheng Liang will definitely be

I can't thank you enough."

After a while, Zheng Liang turned around, got on the horse, and in an instant, countless soldiers behind him followed him back to Beijing to rescue him.

Zheng Liang, who was running away, didn't see anyone, and the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc.

A new conspiracy was brewing in his mind.

Su Qi'an's military report that he took Hangu Pass did interrupt his intention to seize the military power of Tongguan and then return to Beijing to save the driver.

But this time, there is another conspiracy in his heart, this time he will return to Beijing, he will not be reckless, for the so-called meritorious service.

Letting him go back to Beijing was the most wrong decision made by Su Qi'an and Liu Xin.

This time, he wants to kill two birds with one stone and pull them all down.

The end of the Tongguan War did not mean that the crisis in Kyoto was immediately resolved.

At the main gate of Kyoto Castle, a section of the towering city wall, more than a dozen security soldiers are fighting fiercely with the wolf cavalry who burst through the city wall.

The wolf cavalry who came this time, although they did not bring heavy siege vehicles, they did bring detachable ladders.

And the number of arrows in his hand was at least twice as large as usual.

Coupled with the night sneak attack, relying on these two powerful equipment, the wolf cavalry was not afraid of death.

Forcefully let them have some cavalry and attack the city wall.

Don't underestimate this group of wolf cavalry, the number of them is not more than 10,000, about 7,000 or 8,000.

But they were like trained elites, each armed with a scimitar, and in a few fights, the heads of the vigilante soldiers fell to the ground.

These wolf cavalry were particularly fierce, and later, it often took the joint strangulation of three security forces to kill one person.

This kind of three-to-one battle damage, after a long time, gradually fell into disadvantage.

The 10,000-strong security army was basically assembled in a stick of incense, and the surrounding walls of Kyoto were all attacked.

The battle between the two sides was very fierce, and in about half an hour, the security forces suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

If it weren't for the two princes of the royal family, who led a thousand forbidden troops, they came to stabilize the morale of the army.

With this kind of fierce battle, I am afraid that the military spirit of the security army has long been shaken.

The battle between the two sides continued, and as the casualties of the security army continued to expand, the number of troops was obviously insufficient.

And in the city, some children of powerful people with combat experience were also urgently recruited.
