The prince Yuan Zhao of the Wei Dynasty led his men to storm Heiya Pass. Luo Yan, who was crazy and desperate for his life, and the people from the Poison Medicine Sect charged into the battle. Even though Cui Xingzhi and the people from the Guisha Sect kept strengthening the defense every day, there was also Lao Hu. The men with white belts sent by the Duke participated in the battle, but under the strong attack day after day, the wheel battle was still exhausted.
Not only the people inside Heiya Pass were exhausted from the fight and were not allowed to rest, but the Wei soldiers and horses outside Heiya Pass were also exhausted from the fight.
Yuan Zhao asked Nangong Zheng that day, "Where are your people? It's been seven days, why haven't they come yet?"
Some of his people have arrived, but Nangong Zheng's people are nowhere to be seen.
Nangong Zheng shook his head, "I'm surprised too. I'm afraid something has happened."
Yuan Zhao’s face turned dark.
He Lanjue also looked ugly, "Heiya Pass has added a large number of masters. Where do these people come from? Who are they?"
Yuan Zhaodao: "I think he must be from the Duke Protector's Office."
He recognized the waist badge of one of them, and he could see it clearly with a telescope. It was the waist badge of the Duke Protector's Mansion.
He Lanjue took a breath and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid I won't be able to capture Heiya Pass in a short time. What should I do?"
Actually, he wanted to say, you can’t just give up, right?
Yuan Zhao was naturally unwilling to give up like this, but he had lost the best opportunity. Now one more day of delay would be beneficial to Nan Chu. Otherwise, Nan Chu's reinforcements would be arriving soon. He didn't believe that Su Rong didn't call Prince Yan of Daliang for help.
More than half a month has passed since he attacked Nanchu. Su Rong also has a flying eagle. If he used the flying eagle to send messages, Daliang would have taken action long ago.
Yuan Zhao looked at the city wall of Heiyaguan, pondered for a long time, and suddenly gave the order, "Withdraw the troops and return to the court."
He Lanjue was shocked, "Your Highness? Are you not going to fight? Are you giving up now?"
Yuan Zhao said: "With the current stalemate, if the fight continues, how many days do you think it will take to capture Heiya Pass? And how many days will it take for Daliang's reinforcements to assist Nanchu?"
Helan has no idea.
"The best opportunity has been lost, that's all." Yuan Zhao is a very decisive person. For him, if he failed to capture it after half a month, he will not attack. Otherwise, once Nan Chu and Daliang reinforcements arrive, Su Rong had been beaten by him for so long, would he let him off easily? What should he do if she counterattacks? It would be bad if Da Liang takes advantage of him again in the Wei Dynasty.
He Lanjue looked at Nangong Zheng and signaled him to speak with his eyes.
Nangong Zheng was actually very unwilling. He did not expect this outcome, but he agreed with Yuan Zhao's decision, "Your Highness, it is time to withdraw. Daliang cannot stand by and watch Nanchu."
The reason why they have been fighting for so long is because the road is thousands of miles away and it is inconvenient to deliver the news. Once Daliang learns that Wei is going to war against Nanchu, he will definitely take action. One is to send troops to Nan Chu to rescue, and the other is to attack Wei.
He Lanjue saw that Nangong Zheng also agreed and was speechless.
So, on that day, Yuan Zhao gave the order to break camp and withdraw the troops overnight.
Ning Ze and Zhang Mao were the least injured. They didn't need to fight anyone in the past few days. Their internal injuries healed quickly with good medicine. After the daily truce in the Wei Dynasty, the two of them took turns guarding the city, allowing Cui Xingzhi, Zhang Yun and others to rest.
After he finished speaking, he grabbed a soldier beside him and said, "Come and see if Wei is breaking up its camp and withdrawing its troops?"
The soldier quickly took the telescope, looked at it, and was surprised, "Yes, the Wei Dynasty seems to be breaking up camp and withdrawing its troops?" "Go, hurry up and call Zhang Mao." Ning Ze took back the telescope and ordered.
The soldiers left immediately.
Zhang Mao was resting in a tavern under the city wall. When someone called him, he immediately got up and ran up the city wall.
Ning Ze had seen clearly. When he saw Zhang Mao coming, he put the telescope into his hand and said, "Look, the torches are constantly moving in the Wei camp. Are they breaking up the camp and withdrawing their troops?"
"We are breaking camp." Zhang Mao looked at it for a while and immediately ordered, "Report to the princess quickly."
Su Rong and Zhou Gu rested for seven days. Since Cui Xingzhi, Cui Yanjin came, and then Zhibai, plus the people from the Guisha sect, Zhang Yun and Cui Xingzhi took command, and the rest of them defended the city, so there was no need for them at all. Go to the battlefield and kill again.
In this way, after holding on for seven days, the Crown Prince of Wei, Nangong Zheng, the masters of the Poison Medicine Sect, and the Cui family, the Protector's Mansion, and the Guisha Sect all suffered losses. Ordinary soldiers on both sides also lost tens of thousands, but they still suffered losses. Couldn't break through the Black Cliff Pass.
Although Su Rong's injury is not fully healed, he can already walk around freely, as can Zhou Gu. Even Xie Yuan has mostly recovered from his injuries. But Ye Guixue, Fengling, Zi Ye, Yinyue, Liu Ying, Jiang Zhu and others were so seriously injured that they were rescued from the **** gate with only one breath. They could not move around freely, and they could not even get out of bed. Reluctantly, but fortunately, they are all out of danger and no longer in danger of their lives.
Fengling thought he wouldn't survive. After he woke up from a coma for three days, he almost cried when he saw Su Rong, "Sister, I'm still alive. It's not easy."
Su Rong nodded, "It's not easy. I have to thank Dr. Zhang and Mr. Qin Feng for dragging you back from the gate of hell."
Doctor Zhang said from the side, "I dare not take the first credit. It is Mr. Qin Feng of the Guisha sect. This acupuncture to save people can make people live like dead, with flesh and white bones, and bring them back to life."
Fengling admired him, "My sister, senior sister, me, and the three of us learned **** people with gold needles, but failed to master the skill of saving people with gold needles. I didn't expect Master Qin Feng to be so powerful at such a young age."
He thanked Dr. Zhang, "Thank you so much, Dr. Zhang. I will brew some good wine to honor you later."
He can also make wine.
Doctor Zhang chuckled, he also likes to drink, "Then I agreed without any courtesy."
Zhou Gu waited patiently for the three of them to finish speaking. After Dr. Zhang left with the medicine box, he asked Fengling, "You blocked the knife for me. Do I have to make wine to honor you?"
Feng Ling was stunned, "Well, brother-in-law, you don't have to, right? I should block the knife for you, isn't it right?"
Zhou Gu looked at him and said, "You should repay the favor of saving your life. Tell me, what do you want?"
Fengling looked at Su Rong. Su Rong smiled and said nothing. He chuckled and said, "From now on, just treat me as your brother. Just treat me like my sister. Don't feel bad when you have a bad temper with my sister." When you are here, just hold me and practice sword practice with you, and I will be satisfied."
Zhou Guxiao said, “That’s it, okay, I promise you.”
Anyway, if he is in a bad mood, there are so many people who can help him practice swordsmanship, and he is not the least of them.
Zhou Gu and Su Rong were able to get out of bed and walk around freely. On this day, together with Cui Xingzhi, Zhang Yun, and Xie Yuan, everyone gathered in the night return snow room to discuss matters, because during the day, Su Rong had received the news. Zhou Shen and Zhou Che's troops arrived two days later.
Everyone is discussing how to fight back against Yuan Zhao after the arrival of 200,000 troops. Unexpectedly, just in the middle of the discussion, someone came to report that the Wei Dynasty suddenly broke up camp and withdrew its troops.
