Tianxia Pass, the camp of the king of Pingliao outside the pass, the king of Pingliao was waiting outside the camp, a group of generals were lined up on both sides, and a large number of cavalry came in the distance.

The cavalry slowed down when it was away from the main camp, and the leader was a gold-armored general, slowly walking towards the king of Pingliao.

"Zheng He has seen the king of the Southern Courtyard"

"Zheng He received the order, and according to the will of my Great Liao Emperor, canonized Zheng He as the king of Pingnan..."

"Zheng He received the order, thank you for the gift of God"

Zheng He, the king of Pingliao, bowed and thanked him, and the king of the southern courtyard dismounted, handed over the golden armor, seal letter and other items given by the emperor to Zheng He, and then the group walked into the camp.

Zheng He was extremely polite to the king of the Southern Courtyard, the Liao State and the Great Wei are different, the territory of the Liao State is too large, the population is sparse, if you want to take the capital as the jurisdiction, the efficiency is too low, the farthest place is tens of thousands of miles away from Shengjing, and it takes more than half a year to go back and forth, so he canonized the four princes of the southeast and northwest and took charge of it, and the four princes are also cronies of the Emperor of Liao, just like the king of the Southern Courtyard, who is the younger brother of the Emperor of Liao.

This time, the king of Pingliao defected to the Liao State, and he must no longer be called the king of Pingliao, so he changed his name to the king of Pingnan, and Da Liao has promised that if he annexes the Great Wei, he will be given three states as fiefs.

"King Pingnan, how is this war going now?"

"The king of the Southern Courtyard, although this Tianxia Pass is a Xiongguan, it is not impossible to break, after more than a month of fierce battles, we have already figured out the reality of the enemy's army"

"Oh, how to say"

"The king of the Southern Courtyard doesn't know, the Great Wei court is extremely corrupt, and the wind of corruption has spread to the army over the years, this Tianxia Pass should have 10,000 regular soldiers, but it is the corruption of the Great Wei Imperial Court, deducting money and food, and the upward and downward effects, so that the regular soldiers of this Tianxia Pass are only 7,000 at most, I haven't made much effort, and this Tianxia Pass has a faint tendency to not be able to hold.

This Tianxia Pass should have been a level of three cards, three defenses, but now the Tianxia Pass guard will put all the troops on the first level, my people have bypassed the path to explore, the last two levels only have a small number of elite soldiers, the rest are all captured people, as long as we break the first level, this Tianxia Pass will be broken"

"Okay, King Pingnan deserves to be a veteran on the battlefield, but since that's the case, why not break the level"

"The king doesn't know, the Great Wei court has arranged troops to support, Yongzhou forbidden army of 80,000, 50,000 have gone to various battlefields, this Tongzhou is the most, there are 30,000 people, although the 30,000 army has not yet arrived, but it has sent a large number of masters to take the first step, has entered the pass, there is no master to contain the master of the Great Wei, I can't break the pass"

Zheng He replied that his people in Yongdu City have been arrested by the imperial court, but there are still many spies, and Li Yuanxiang, the general of the Great Wei, set out from Yongdu City half a month ago, and brought 5,000 people in Yongdu City, and there were various forbidden armies along the way, and there were already 30,000 people in Tongzhou.

In addition to these 30,000 people, there are also a large number of Tsing Yi guards, royal families, and masters of the military department to follow, 30,000 troops plus 70,000 or 80,000 people, the marching speed is extremely slow, Li Yuanxiang sent a master to worship the first step to the various battlefields.

Now the 25,000 people led by Li Yuanxiang are almost in Tonghua City, and the remaining 5,000 people are also on their way to Tianxia Pass.

Zheng He knew that once these five thousand elites arrived at Tianxia Pass, the difficulty for them to break through the pass would increase exponentially, so he kept urging the king of the Southern Courtyard to arrive, he was reluctant to use his own master to fight hard, otherwise once the capital was exhausted, he, the king of Pingnan, would have no real name.

"I see, but it's okay if this king comes, this time I brought enough masters, King Pingnan will see when he can break through"

"If the king is willing, he can attack at night tonight"

"Oh, is King Pingnan so sure?"

"Of course, we already know the reality of the defenders, as long as we can contain their masters, we can win the battle"

Zheng He replied, after fighting for so long, he has already figured out what the situation is in Tianxia Pass, and he can definitely break Tianxia Pass.

"Since this is the case, then according to the king of Pingnan, when the Tianxia Pass is broken, we will solve Tonghua City, and my soldiers and horses of Daliao can be killed under Yongdu City"

King Nanwang nodded, Zheng He was willing to contribute, but he couldn't ask for it, he was afraid that Zheng He would not be willing to do it.

······

The whole day's offensive and defensive battles during the day made the soldiers on Tianxia Pass extremely tired, especially the battle of Lianyue, so that the guards had already used the reserves, no way, almost a third of the troops were missing, and the people in his hands were seriously insufficient.

Tianxia Pass, Liu Ruotang looked at the military camp outside the pass, and was also worried, he thought that Tianxia Pass was solid, but after coming, he knew that this place was not stable, and the number of troops was one-third less than planned.

But can he blame the guards, he can't blame it, and he can't even report the matter truthfully, because if it is reported, it will be tantamount to offending many bigwigs in the court, such as the military department and the household department that allocates money and food.

So this lid can only be covered, not opened, I just hope that this big battle can be filled with this hole, and the military salary eaten will be calculated according to the killed, what he can do is to work with the guards to urge Li Yuanxiang's side as soon as possible, and then five thousand elites, this day Xia Guan will be fine.

"When, when, when..."

Just when Liu Ruotang was pondering, suddenly Tianxia closed the bell and made a loud noise, Liu Ruotang was taken aback and quickly walked out of the camp.

"What's going on, what's going on"

"Back to my lord, there is a small group of enemy troops harassing after the pass, and the general has sent troops to encircle and suppress it."

"Where"

"The general just looks over there."

A lieutenant pointed to the pass and said, Tianxia Pass is surrounded by mountains and mountains, although it is steep, but there will also be some paths, which can be used by a small number of people and horses, this kind of path is not able to pass through the army, not only can not bring the burden of the problem, but the road is too small, the march will stretch the team very long, once the guard will find out, only a small number of people can cut off the team, but it is no problem to sneak into dozens or hundreds of people.

It's just that in general, dozens or hundreds of people are useless, especially for elite soldiers and horses, and even harassment is not great, just a waste of manpower.

Liu Ruotang looked around, inside the wall, there was a fire, there was a sound of fighting, and a few people who should have infiltrated were discovered.

"Whoosh..."

But a quarter of an hour later, the fire did not go out, but a signal from a Tsing Yi guard came up.

"No, the small force that infiltrated is a master"

"Lord Liu"

"I'm here"

"The lord will have an order, the men and horses in the wall are the elite of the king of Pingliao, please send people to encircle and suppress quickly, they rushed to the back camp, where is the grain and grass of the whole army, there must be no loss"

"Okay, I'll take someone there."

Liu Ruotang was shocked, if the grain and grass were gone, he couldn't hold it for three days, so he immediately took a part of the offerings to the wall.

At the same time, outside the Tianxia Pass, the elite of the white-clothed army of King Pingnan has also been assembled, and the three hundred warriors are ready to go, without even wearing iron armor, only with a knife.

"Soldiers, follow me"

Zheng Tai gave an order, and then took the lead in the charge, and the warriors of the white-clothed army saw that Shizi was actually rushing to the front line with them, and their morale was also greatly increased.

The three hundred people are all masters, and the worst is also the level of second-rate masters in the rivers and lakes.

"Someone Under the Wall"

"Ringing the Bell"

The soldiers on the wall soon found out, but it was too late, and 300 people quickly rushed to the wall and killed the soldiers above.

"On the second wave"

King Pingnan saw that the first wave of dead soldiers had rushed up, and immediately sent the second wave of men and horses to rush forward.

"When, when, when"

Close the wall, the guards were blinded by the sudden night attack of the white-clothed army, what's the use of just a few hundred elites coming up, isn't this a ruin?

"Quick, besiege them, trebuchet will smash me out of the wall"

The guards kept ordering the bed crossbow and trebuchet to be smashed out, as long as the enemy army behind was cut off, these hundreds of people could not turn the sky.

"General, general, no, the rear camp is on fire"

"What, didn't Liu Ruotang go to encircle and suppress?"

"Hit the trick, those enemy troops are all masters"

"What, what about Liu Ruotang and them?"

"I don't know"

"It's over"

When the guard heard this, he immediately knew what was going on, but before he could react, he saw Liu Ruotang and a few other worshippers rushing from the back camp.

"General, retreat quickly, the master of the Tongtian Academy of the Liao Kingdom is here, there are immortals"

Liu Ruotang was covered in blood, he had been seriously injured, he took the Tsing Yi guard to encircle and suppress those infiltrated enemy troops, but as soon as he passed, he was intercepted and killed by the masters, and three or four people died in front of each of the twenty people, and it turned out to be the immortals of the Tongtian Academy of the Liao Kingdom, he was not an opponent at all.

"Quick, quick, retreat to the camps on both sides and evacuate Tianxia Pass"

The guards reacted, they couldn't hold it, and the immortals of Tongtian Courtyard made a move, but the immortals they asked the immortal pavilion were not there, and this zhang couldn't fight at all.

"Sky Fire Talisman"

But before they could retreat to the camps on the mountainsides on both sides, they saw two people floating in the sky, and each of them scattered a stack of runes, and the runes sprang out one after another fire dragons, instantly igniting the camps on both sides.

"Kill"

On the cliffs on both sides, there were also a small number of enemy troops, shouting loudly, those people were all crossbowmen, condescending, constantly shooting the defenders of the Great Wei.

"General, what to do"

"General"

"Liu Ruotang, after leading people to break, I will lead the troops to kill them"

The defenders yelled and told Liu Ruotang to break off the wall, while he had to lead his troops to kill along the canyon, otherwise they would be dumplings and completely besieged on the first level.

When Liu Ruotang heard this, he was immediately shocked and angry, and let him break off, doesn't this mean that he wants to die, no way, Liu Ruotang took the remnants of the Tsing Yi Wei to worship, without saying a word, he directly took it to the canyon to kill, and broke through the siege first to save his life.
