"Report to the Emperor!" a lion soldier shouted respectfully as he ran into the main hall.

But if you look closely, you will see that this soldier's hands are a little shaky, and his face is also terrified, just like the fierce and invincible lion soldier when he is out fighting.

At the head of the main hall, a man sat quietly, this man bent his upper body slightly, elbows to his knees, hands supporting his face, looking pensive.

His hair was long and unkempt, hanging all around, obscuring his face.

In the faint candlelight, the shadow behind him stretched very long, and the muscles that were angular and round like a hill were also carved out by the shadow.

He slowly sat up straight, his mouth moving slightly behind his unkempt hair, "Say it." ”

The voice was very empty, without a hint of emotion.

"This morning's attack went very well, the front army has broken through the Wolf Rain Pass, and the iron gate has been punched out of a big hole by the siege logs. The Lion Soldier reported.

"Is there anything else to catch?"

The lion soldier lowered his head and thought about it, then his eyes lit up, and he said again: "Qi Tian, the great general of the Sunny Empire, also came to the Wolf Rain Pass, and the soldiers who rushed into the pass said that they had seen him." ”

"Didn't you kill him?"

"He knows martial arts, and he killed several of our soldiers, and when the others want to surround him again, it's time to withdraw the army. The lion soldier replied.

"Anything else?"

"No more. ”

"Let's go down. ”

The lion soldier stood up respectfully, then slowly exited the main hall and closed the door again.

At this time, the palace was dark again, and Emperor Cree was alone.

"Hey, hey..."

In the palace of Nuoda, there was an incomparably evil laughter.

-------

Early the next morning, Qi Tian's army retreated to the south.

A soldier sent the letter to the tent of the fourth princess.

Just when the fourth princess read the letter written to her by Qi Tian, Li Hua and several other lieutenants rushed over with anxious expressions.

"Fourth princess, the general really led the troops away!" Li Hua said.

"yes, now we really only have 100,000 troops left!"

"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, why don't you talk to the general and stay together to defend against the enemy?"

Several adjutants said babblingly.

After reading the letter, the fourth princess angrily twisted the letter paper in her hand into a ball, threw it out of the tent, and then said coldly: "You let me beg him?

She turned her eyes, "Li Hua, I order you to lead troops to reinforce the Wolf Rain Pass now, not only to strengthen the Iron Pass, but also to build a stone barrier in front of the Iron Pass, and change the width of the pass to only accommodate ten people walking side by side!"

Li Hua sighed in his heart and arched his hand: "The last general will obey the order!"

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the handsome account, but he suddenly saw that on the ground in front of him, it was the paper ball thrown out by the fourth princess.

He glanced behind him, and while no one was paying attention, he immediately picked up the paper ball and put it in his arms.

When he got to a place where there was no one, he took out the paper ball and quickly unfolded it, only to see a line of small words written on it, 'If you are defeated, quickly withdraw to Gaoshan River, where I will meet you.' ’

Li Hua was stunned for a moment, and wondered in his heart, "Why is the general stationed in Gaoshanhe?"

The mountain river is far less favorable for defense than the Wolf Rain Pass, there is only a shallow river, and the surrounding area is very empty, which is the most suitable for the attack of the lion army.

If the legion of the Sunny Empire and the legion of the lion meet there, even if 300,000 people are not enough to fight, the legion of the lion can be completely disrupted as long as they charge hard.

He was confused, but now he had more important things to do.

Due to the death order given by the fourth princess, Li Huaju quickly excavated the stone wall, carried the boulders, and built the stone barrier in front of the pass.

Stone ramparts are small fortresses that not only occupy the mountain stream path, making the mountain stream narrower, but also allowing soldiers to stand on the stone ramparts to attack.

The Wolf Rain Pass was also reinforced, and an iron platform was erected on the iron pass, allowing more archers to stand on it and launch arrows.

In the evening, the fourth princess personally took her adjutant to inspect the Wolf Rain Pass and was very satisfied with the progress of the project.

She stood in the pass, proudly looked at the solid Wolf Rain Pass in front of her, and said loudly: "The most powerful thing in the Lion Legion is the cavalry and bows and arrows, and now the Wolf Rain Pass can only accommodate ten people in parallel, and there is a stone barrier in front of it as protection, even if they use siege logs, they will never be able to break through the Wolf Rain Pass!"

"The fourth princess is wise!" the other lieutenants agreed.

"With the current Wolf Rain Pass, no matter how brave and fierce the Lion Legion is, it will never be able to break through here!"

At this time, in their eyes, the decision of the four princesses was right, and the lion army had no possibility of breaking through here.

-------

Qi Tian led the army to a place five miles north of the Gaoshan River that night.

"Boss, are we going to camp here now?" asked Xiao Xiaobing as he rode over to Fenghuo.

Qi Tian got out of the carriage, stretched his waist, looked around and said, "Fifty thousand guards are stationed here." ”

He looked at Xiao Xiaobing again, "You take 10,000 artillery regiments to the south of the Gaoshan River and camp them in the formation of wild geese. ”

"Boss, what about me!" An Lushan also ran over at this time.

Qi Tian smiled slightly, "Continue your work in Yunhai City." ”

"Huh?" An Lushan was a little puzzled.

Qi Tian took out the map given to him by Xiao Xiaobing from his bosom, and pointed to a flat land south of the Gaoshan River, "You take people from here overnight, come here, dig a trench that can block the lion cavalry, if you don't have enough manpower, you can transfer it from the artillery corps first." ”

"The boss wants to stop the lion army here?" An Lushan asked.

Qi Tian smiled mysteriously.

"This kind of trench is useless against the lion cavalry, as soon as they find the trench, they can immediately retreat, and we can't help them. An Lushan was a little puzzled.

"You just dig a ditch and leave the rest alone. Qi Tian said.

An Lushan nodded, and didn't say anything more.

"Alright, you guys go quickly. Qi Tian said.

Xiao Xiaobing and An Lushan responded, and led the troops to march towards the south of the Gaoshan River.

Qi Tian led the Guards to the north of the Gaoshan River.

Two days passed quickly.

In the past two days, the Lion Legion has neither attacked nor made any movement, as if it has given up its plan to attack Wolf Rain Pass.

The soldiers of the Four Princesses Legion also gradually relaxed from their tension.

After dinner, the fourth princess stood in front of the handsome camp, looking at the galaxy in the sky, and showed a contemptuous smile.

Li Hua walked over at this time, "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, you haven't rested yet?"

The fourth princess glanced at him, "Didn't you not rest either?"

When Li Hua heard the fourth princess say this, she knew that she must be in a very good mood, and usually the fourth princess never joked or said more nonsense.

"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, the Lion Legion has not moved for two days, and they have already given up their plans to attack, right?"

"The lion army is good at running, and the Great is even more fond of blitzkrieg, and now that we are all about to block the mountain stream, their horses can't run, and the power of their bows and arrows is also blocked, how else can they attack?" said the fourth princess lightly.

Li Hua nodded, and also felt how correct the decision of the fourth princess was.

He unconsciously glanced at the south side, and wondered in his heart, "Could it be that the general's past achievements are all fake?" ’

But he thought on the other hand, 'Even if the battle record is fake, An Lushan is real! Such a big god of war and so respectful to the general, he shouldn't be wrong, what is going on?'

As the night deepened, a curved moon hung high in the sky, and the stars seemed to tell the world of its boundless vastness.

And the military camp of the four princesses also snored and fell, and everyone fell into a deep sleep.

They fought for many days in a row, and their nerves were tense all the time, and they were really tired.

Even the soldiers who were guarding the iron gate were a little napping.

"Bell. There was a small sound of iron striking against each other.

The sentry, who was a little confused, was clever and said nervously: "Who?

A few other soldiers followed the sound and walked over, only to see a few grains of rubble falling on the iron gate.

"It's okay, it's just the gravel that fell from the mountain. The sentinel who looked at it said.

The frightened sentry looked up at the already dark top of the mountain and patted his chest, "Scared me to death, I was scared to death." ”

"Who told you to sentry and take a nap!

"No!" suddenly shouted the sentry who looked up at the top of the mountain, "There seems to be a light on the top of the mountain!"

"Huh?"

Several other sentries also looked towards the pitch-black summit.

"No, where is the light?"

"yes, do you see starlight as light?"

Just when a few people were puzzled, suddenly, dozens of huge sounds came from the top of the mountain, as if countless thunders resounded in the sky, echoing in the mountain stream for a long time.

At the same time, dozens of fleeting lights also flickered suddenly.

Just as the sentries were startled by the loud noise and were a little panicked, "Boom, boom, boom..."

The wolf rain suddenly made several explosions, and thick smoke billowed around.

The sentries were tossed to the ground by the huge heat wave, and many more were blown to pieces, their bodies scattered around.

When the sentries who were still alive were immediately preparing to run towards the barracks, dozens of deafening explosions suddenly came from the camp, which could accommodate 100,000 people.

In an instant, the camp was in flames, hundreds of tents were burning, screaming soldiers everywhere, and wailing, and the whole camp was in chaos.

Dozens of soldiers whose bodies were still on fire were screaming and screaming from the fire, some rolling on the ground trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies, and some running wildly in the camp.

At this time, the camp seemed to be a purgatory on earth, and there were fires and explosions everywhere that took people's lives.

The fourth princess had taken a bath and was ready to sleep, but who knew that she had just fallen asleep and was awakened by a loud explosion.

When she quickly got dressed and walked out of the tent, she was immediately stunned by the scene in front of her.

Rao is her "zombie" face, and she has to be moved at the moment, she was fine just now, how did she become like this in an instant!

Li Hua was also wearing white underwear, and he didn't even have time to put on his armor before he hurriedly ran out.

"Fourth princess, let's retreat quickly! The camp is completely unstoppable!"

At this time, several more lieutenants came, some of them wearing only a pair of small shorts...

"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, let's withdraw quickly. ”

"Fourth princess, let's retreat inland!"

They immediately understood that their camp was under artillery fire, and although they did not know where the artillery of the Lion Legion came from, they could not think much about it now.

The tall body of the fourth princess seemed to be frozen, and her eyes were full of disbelief and shock!

"Fourth princess, it's too late if you don't leave!"

As soon as Li Hua finished speaking, the handsome tent behind him suddenly exploded, and all of them were swept away by this heat wave, and even the fourth princess couldn't control it and rushed forward.

After a long time, the fourth princess, who was covered with dust and sand, got up from the ground, shook her brain, which was dizzy from the shock, and staggered to her feet.

Li Hua also got up from the ground at this time.

As soon as he stood firmly, he saw that the adjutant general, who was still talking together just now, had already vomited blood from his mouth, and was obviously dead.

"Fourth Princess!" he quickly ran to the Fourth Princess, "Let's go quickly, if we don't leave, it's really too late!"

The fourth princess looked around the camp surrounded by a sea of fire, and a sense of despair, remorse, and powerlessness filled her body.

She now finally knew why Qi Tian was retreating, and she hated herself for not listening to Qi Tian!

The Lion Legion, which has always been known for its cavalry and archery, has switched to artillery attacks!

This is something that no one can imagine!

A whole army of 100,000!

At this moment, most of them had already died in the fire, and in addition to the foul smell of burning tents, there was also the stench of charred corpses in the camp.

The camp was littered with charred corpses, many of which were charred with flames.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

There was another series of explosions, and the cannonballs on the top of the mountain seemed to be running out, and they continued to shoot towards the camp of the Four Princesses Legion.

"Fourth princess!" Li Hua yelled.

The fourth princess finally came back to her senses, she gritted her teeth, turned around and looked at the handsome tent that had been razed to the ground, and shouted, "The survivors follow me and retreat to the south, and the general will meet us over there!"

It's just that...

There were very few voices that could respond to her.

-------

The continuous sound of artillery in Wolf Rain Pass, as well as the monstrous firelight, had already spread for dozens of miles, Qi Tian, Xiao Xiaobing, and An Lushan all stood on their temporary camps and looked out to the north.

"An Lushan, they..."Xiao Xiaobing wanted to ask, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know how to ask.

With such dense artillery fire and such great lethality, it is estimated that there are very few people who can escape. 、

"It's over, most of them are done. An Lushan sighed.

"Did you say that the fourth princess killed them, or did Emperor Keree kill them?" Xiao Xiaobing suddenly asked this question in his heart.

An Lushan was stunned, turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiaobing in surprise, "When did you become so connotative?"

Xiao Xiaobing raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"Shouldn't you focus all your attention on the Qinglou?" An Lushan said.
