When he came to Lanzhou to meet Marshal Yang again, Yuerong told Marshal Yang about meeting the prime minister and about Lord Kou entering the court. He also said that Kou Zhun thanked the Yang family. Marshal Yang was overjoyed and grateful. Yue Rongyan said goodbye to Marshal Yang and returned to the natural gate.

Chief Gongsun and others came to greet him, and Yuerong asked how the battle of the Natural Gate was going these days?

Gongsun Zhuo sighed: "The Liao army is large, and although the disciples in the sect are all brave, they can win every sneak attack. But with the number of Liao soldiers, it is definitely beyond the reach of these thousands of disciples of my natural sect. After several battles, although many Liao soldiers injured him, many of our disciples also fell in pools of blood. ”

Yuerong sighed: "I still need to hold on a little, I guess that in less than three days, our army of 150,000 horses will be able to arrive in Lanzhou to rescue, now the spring breeze is coming, after these days of bitter cold, everything will be fine." ”

Tie Zhongjie said: "Having said that, how can Empress Dowager Xiao be scheming, our army is outnumbered, and the city of Lanzhou is already in danger. Empress Dowager Xiao could not let go of this favorable opportunity to attack the city. ”

Hongyan said: "In the past few days, Xiao Tart has repeatedly provoked, trying to take Lanzhou in one fell swoop, Marshal Yang and all the soldiers fought to defend the city, so that they could have a moment of peace now." ”

Yuerong was filled with grief and indignation, and simply said: "I have a plan to resolve the crisis." ”

Hongyan asked, "What's the best plan?" ”

Yuerong said: "Using the power of the natural gate to solve the predicament of Lanzhou is tantamount to using the mantis arm as a car, a drop in the bucket." Tonight, I will go to Liaoying and assassinate the Empress Dowager Xiao. If it can succeed, the Liao people will not fight and will be chaotic, if the assassination fails, I will also mention that Xiao Tart lazy head back, has been wrong Liao soldiers. ”

Hongyan said: "Empress Dowager Xiao relied on the body of a woman to support the state and prosper, and then invaded the Central Plains. The heroes of real women are awe-inspiring. Xiao Tart is lazy and experienced in a hundred battles, brave and fearless. Liao's invasion of the border this time relied on the two of them. If one of these two can be captured, the tide of life will be reversed. ”

Gongsun Zhuo said: "It's a pity that the Liao camp is heavily guarded, how can the master of the gate protect his whole body and retreat?" ”

Yuerong said calmly: "Chief Gongsun doesn't have to worry too much, my shadow transformation magic skill is in the palm of the wind and cloud sword, in the Liao camp, there should be no problem, if the stab fails, you can retreat." The Liao people were disturbed, and they did not dare to act rashly in the future, and they have slowed down the offensive against our army. ”

Yang Yu blinked his eyes and said, "If I go to assassinate tonight, I can go with Brother Rong." ”

Yun Lingyan also said: "When you are in danger, there is Yang Yu by your side, and the door owner can also take care of it. ”

Yuerong smiled slightly: "I can go alone, you don't have to worry too much." ”

So the idea of going to Liaoying to assassinate was decided, and Hongyan prepared everything for Yuerong. When it was deeper in the middle of the night, Yuerong put on his night clothes, mentioned the Fengyun Sword that **Shuo had used back then, and was about to go to Liaoying. Suddenly, one of his disciples came to report: "There is a group of Liao soldiers near the Ten Thousand Caves and Caves, and they are heading straight for the direction of Lanzhou. ”

Hongyan hurriedly said: "My reinforcements have not arrived, if the Liao soldiers attack the city again, Lanzhou is really dangerous." ”

Yue Rong said: "The assassination is probably difficult to perform tonight." Then he ordered his subordinates to say: "Quickly go and inform the Lord of the Iron Gate and the head of Gongsun, and all the people of the Natural Gate will rush to the Ten Thousand Caves to kill the Liao soldiers." "Ten Thousand Caves and the Natural Gate Camp are only a mile away, and they will be there in a moment.

Yuerong's command has been decided, leading the natural gate to hide in the dark night in the rocks on the mountain, the sound of horses' hooves can be heard from afar, everyone knows that the Liao soldiers have arrived, and the Liao soldiers have traveled to the half of the ten thousand caves and caves, it is the time when the head and tail can not care about each other, Yuerong and everyone have flown down from the cliff of the ten thousand caves and caves, and beheaded the Liao soldiers.

For a long time, the Liao soldiers attacked Lanzhou unscrupulously, unprepared for the sneak attack of the natural gate, and only then did they have the hand that could not be fought in the first time, and today the Liao soldiers seem to be prepared.

And a surprise attack in the dark night, the enemy is clear and I am dark, still make the Liao people unbearable, only to hear the shouts on the surrounding mountains are shocked, the Liao soldiers do not know how many people and horses naturally came, trampling on each other in a panic, with many casualties. There are even Liao soldiers who lingered, and were killed by the disciples of the Natural Sect and fled, almost wanting to go back.

The pioneer Xiao Tzu lazy saw that his soldiers were afraid of fleeing, so he swung his sword forward, slashed several people, and shouted: "If there are any more escapees, this is the end!" ”

Seeing that Xiao Tart was so intimidating, he had no choice but to retreat and had no way out, and he would be dealt with by military law, so they all fought bravely and forgot to die. Although the disciples of the Natural Sect can be called heroes, how can they be able to resist the surging enemy, and fight for a while, the Liao soldiers are like the water that breaks the embankment, and they are unstoppable. Yuerong and Gongsun Commander fought hard, and it was difficult to stop the Liao soldiers from going.

Yuerong saw that Liao's troops were large, and Xiao Tzu was lazy to command Ruoding on the horse, and waited calmly. I couldn't help but secretly say: "If such a stalemate continues, I am afraid that naturally they are in danger of being wiped out." So Yue Rong said to the general manager of Gongsun beside him: "Order your disciples, try to get it skillfully, and don't fall in love with war." Today's good opportunity, I'm going to take Xiao Tart's lazy life. "The chief steward of Gongsun responded to the call and left.

Yue Rong waved the Fengyun sword in his palm to separate the crowd, and stabbed at Xiao Tart lazy, Xiao Tart was lazy to smile slightly, waved the sword in his hand, and suddenly flashed out of the Liao army More than a dozen pioneers with helmets and armor appeared, describing the drape as exactly the same as Xiao Tart's lazy, everyone signaled to each other, and fled to the crowd on horseback, how did Yue Rong figure out which one was true and which one was false.

Seeing that Xiao Tart was lazy and prepared, Yuerong secretly thought: "Knowing that he has the intention of assassination, how can he sit still and wait to die." So Yuerong didn't chase after him, and in a fit of anger, he cut down more than a dozen Liao thieves around him, and got up and returned to the disciples of his own sect who were killing the enemy.

Seeing Yuerong's return, Hongyan hurriedly asked, "Have you ever succeeded?" ”

Yuerong shook his head and said: "Xiao Tart is lazy and scheming, and I am afraid that I will not give up tonight." It's ridiculous, I don't even know where Xiao Tart's real body is. ”

Hongyan hurriedly said: "Even so, I'm afraid that there will be changes in the city of Lanzhou!" ”

Yuerong tightened her eyebrows and said, "Exactly." ”

The two of them only said a few words and flowed away in the sword light for a while, and in an instant, the two of them had already converged with Yang Yu and his wife, Gongsun Chief, and the Iron Gate Master.

Yue Rong said to everyone: "This time Xiao Tart is lazy and prepared, Empress Dowager Xiao's strategy is far beyond everyone's imagination, at this time I guess that she has already sent troops to besiege Marshal Yang, and the Liao soldiers of Wandong Cave are only used to contain my natural door." ”

Yang Yu asked, "What should we do?" ”

Yuerong resolutely said: "When the reinforcements do not arrive, we will defend the city to the death!" Then he ordered the five exercisers and the sixteen stars to rush out of the road from the flank, and Yuerong led the crowd to rush to Lanzhou in front of this Liao army.

Liao Shengzong and the Empress Dowager Chengtian really spared no expense tonight, the five exercisers and the sixteen stars fought hard in front, only to kill the blood stained all over the body, sweating through the chest and back, Si Shi Fang put aside the thieves who attacked at night, and rushed to the city of Shanzhou.

When Yuerong led the crowd to the city, the sky was already bright. It was even more surprising to watch. The overwhelming Liao soldiers surrounded the city of Lanzhou, and the city was almost breached.
