"Report to the Emperor!" a lion soldier ran into the hall and shouted respectfully.

But if you look closely, you will find that the soldier's hands were trembling and his face was filled with fear, which was completely different from the invincible Lion soldier when he was fighting abroad.

At the head of the hall, a man was sitting quietly. The man bent his upper body slightly, his elbows and his knees, and his hands supported his face, looking thoughtful.

His hair was very long and very messy, hanging around, covering his face.

Under the faint candlelight, the shadow behind him was very long, with clear edges and angular muscles, as round as hills, were also portrayed by the shadows.

He slowly sat upright, his mouth moved slightly after hiding his messy hair, "Tell me."

The sound is very empty and does not have any emotion.

"The attack was very smooth this morning. The front army had already broken through the Langyu Pass, and the iron gate was hit by the siege log." The Lion Soldiers reported.

“Are there any other gains?”

The lion soldier lowered his head and thought for a while, then his eyes lit up and said again: "Qi Tian, ​​the general of the Sun Empire, also came to Langyu Pass. The soldiers who rushed into the pass said that they had seen him."

"Didn't you kill him?"

"He knows martial arts and has killed several of our soldiers. When the others are about to surround them, it will be time to withdraw." The lion soldier replied.

"Is there anything else?"

"there is none left."

"Go down."

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

At this time, the palace was once again pitch black, with only Emperor Krei alone.

"Hehe, hehe..."

An extremely sinister laughter came from the huge palace.

--------

Early the next morning, the legion led by Qi Tian was in full swing to retreat to the south.

A soldier sent the letter to the Fourth Princess's tent.

Just as the Fourth Princess read the letter Qi Tian wrote to her, Li Hua and several other deputy generals rushed over with anxiety.

"Fourth Princess, the general has really led his troops away!" Li Hua said.

"Yes, now we have only one hundred thousand troops left!"

"Your Highness Four Princess, why don't you talk to the general and stay and fight the enemy together?"

Several adjutants said verbally.

After reading the letter, the fourth princess angrily twisted the letter paper in her hand, threw it out of the tent, and then said coldly: "You asked me to beg him? It's just a dream!"

She turned her eyes and said, "Li Hua, I order you to lead troops to strengthen the Langyu Pass now. Not only do you need to strengthen the Iron Pass, but you also need to build a stone pile in front of the Iron Pass, turning the width of the pass into the pass into a lineup that can only accommodate ten people!"

Li Hua sighed in his heart and bowed, "I will obey the order!"

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

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

When he arrived at a place where no one was around, he took out the paper ball and spread it out quickly, and saw a line of small words written on it, "If you lose, quickly retreat to the mountains and rivers, and I will pick you up there."

Li Hua was stunned and wondered, "Gaoshan River? Why did the general station in the mountains?'

The mountains and rivers are far less conducive to defense than Wolf Rain Pass. There is only a shallow river there, and the surroundings are very empty, which is most suitable for the raid of the lion army.

If the legions of the Sun Empire and the Lions Legion meet there, even if 300,000 people are not enough to fight, the Lions Legion can completely disrupt the legion as long as it charges hard.

Although he was puzzled, he had more important things to do now.

Due to the death order from the Fourth Princess, Li Hua quickly dug the stone walls and transported huge stones to build the stones in front of the pass.

A stone trench is a small fortress that not only occupies the mountain stream roads, but also makes the mountain stream narrower, but soldiers can also stand on the stone trench to attack.

The Langyu Pass was also reinforced, and an iron platform was built on the iron pass, allowing more archers to stand on it and shoot arrows.

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

She stood inside the pass, proudly looking at the solid Langyu Pass in front of her, and said aloud: "The most powerful thing in the Lion Legion is the cavalry and bows and arrows. Now Langyu Pass can only accommodate ten people in parallel, and there are stone sticks in front as protection. Even if they use siege logs, they will never break Langyu Pass!"

"The Fourth Princess is wise!" The other deputy generals agreed.

"With the current Wolf Rain Pass, Ren Xiong Lion Legion will never be able to break through here!"

At this time, in their eyes, the Fourth Princess' decision was right, and the Lion Legion had no possibility of breaking through here.

--------

Qi Tian and his army arrived at Wuli, north of Gaoshan River that night.

"Boss, are we here now?" Xiao Xiaobing rode his horse to Fenghuo and asked.

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

He looked at Xiao Xiaobing again, "You took the 10,000 artillery army to the south of Gaoshan River and stationed in a formation of geese."

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

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

"Yeah?" An Lushan didn't understand.

Qi Tian took out the map Xiao Xiaobing gave him from his arms and pointed to a flat land south of the Gaoshan River. "You took people from here overnight to dig out a trench that could block the lion cavalry. If there is not enough manpower, you can first dispatch it from the artillery army."

"Does the boss want to block the Lions Legion here?" An Lushan asked.

Qi Tian smiled mysteriously.

"This kind of trench is useless to the lion cavalry. Once they find the trench, they can retreat immediately, and we can't do anything to them." An Lushan was a little confused.

"You just need to dig a trenches, and don't worry about the rest." Qi Tian said.

An Lushan nodded and said nothing more.

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

Xiao Xiaobing and An Lushan responded and led their troops to march south of Gaoshan River.

Qi Tian led the Guards to station in the north of Gaoshanhe River.

Two days passed quickly.

In the past two days, the Lions Legion neither attacked nor moved, as if it had given up its plan to attack Langyu Pass.

The soldiers of the Fourth Princess Legion also gradually relaxed from the tension.

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

Li Hua walked over at this time, "Your Highness Fourth Princess, have you not rest yet?"

The fourth princess glanced at him, "You haven't had a rest, either?"

When Li Hua heard the Fourth Princess say this, she knew that she must be in a very good mood. Usually, this Fourth Princess never jokes or talks more nonsense.

"Your Highness Four Princesses, the Lion Legion has not been moved for two days. They have probably given up their plans to attack, right?"

"The Lion Legion is good at raiding, and Emperor Krei likes blitzkrieg even more. Now we are almost blocking the mountain stream, their horses cannot run, and the power of the bows and arrows is also blocked. How can we attack?" The fourth princess said lightly.

Li Hua nodded, feeling how correct the fourth princess’ decision was.

He glanced at the south side unconsciously, wondering, "Are the general's past achievements all fake? He didn't guard Langyu Pass and actually ran to the empty flat ground to defend."

But he thought to the other way around, 'Even if the record is fake, An Lushan is real! Such a big god of war is so respectful to the general, he should not be wrong. What's going on?'

When the night was getting deeper and deeper, a crescent moon hung high in the sky, and the stars in the sky seemed to tell the world its boundless vastness.

The Fourth Princess's military camp also snores, and everyone fell asleep.

They fought for many days and were nervous all the time. They were so tired.

Even the soldiers who were watching the iron gate took a nap.

"Clang." A small iron tool hit him.

The sentry, who was originally a little confused, said nervously: "Who? What sound?"

Several other soldiers followed the sound and saw a few gravels falling on the iron gate.

"It's okay, it's just the gravel falling from the mountain." said the sentry who was looking at it.

The frightened sentry looked up at the already dark top of the mountain and patted his chest, "I'm scared, I'm scared."

"Who told you to leave the watch and take a nap! You're going to be shocked!" another sentry quipped.

"No!" The sentry looking up at the top of the mountain suddenly shouted, "It seems that there is a light on the top of the mountain!"

"kindness?"

Several other sentries also looked towards the dark top.

"No! Where is the light?"
