Zhu Rong suddenly felt something was wrong, thinking that he was like being hugged by the other party and riding a horse? At this point, his whole body couldn't help but get a fever, his heart pounding, and he didn't know what to do. At this moment, the war horse jumped gently to the high place. Zhu Rong was caught off guard and fell backwards. When he reacted, he suddenly realized that he had leaned into the other party's arms. A strong male aura immediately surged, and Zhu Rong became confused.

Ailang led Zhurong to gallop and headed south along the Tanshui River. Not long after, he saw the wooden bridge in front of him, and the wooden bridge had not been destroyed yet, and two powerful generals Dian Wei Wenchou were immediately confronting the enemy at the bridgehead.

Meng Huo sat on the battle elephant, staring at the two enemy generals standing horizontally on the wooden bridge, looking shocked and angry. At this time, the bodies of nearly twenty barbarian leaders were lying in a row in front of the wooden bridge. It turned out that Meng Huo led the army to the wooden bridge not long ago and was challenged by Dian Wei Wenchou, so Meng Huo and Shamoke and Wu Tugu each sent their brave leaders to fight. However, the twenty brave leaders in a row were killed by the two terrifying Han people within three moves!

Meng Huo turned his head and shouted to everyone around him, "Although I can kill those two Han people, I will make him the Lord of Yunnan!" Meng Huo once again raised his reward. The leaders looked at each other, but no one went to fight.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came. Both sides couldn't help but look in the sound and saw Ailang and Zhurong. The people on Ailang Zhurong were all happy, while those on Meng Hurong were all shocked. When Meng Huo saw that Zhurong, who was thinking about him, was actually stopped by the hateful Han man, he suddenly became angry and almost burst out!

Ailang took Zhurong along the river bank to the wooden bridge. Dian Wei and Wenchou clasped their fists excitedly and said, "Young Master!" Ailang nodded and praised, "You are doing well!" The two of them grinned. At this time, the leaders under Zhurong hurriedly came up to meet Zhurong. Zhurong left Ailang's arms and jumped off the horse. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at Ailang angrily. He saw Ailang only felt inexplicable and had no idea what had offended her. Zhurong turned around and shouted to the leaders under his command, "Retreat immediately!" Everyone agreed in unison and ran down to hear it. Zhurong's army, who had originally seemed a little confused because of Zhurong's disappearance, immediately recovered its fighting spirit and quickly began to retreat according to Zhurong's orders.

Ailang ordered the burning of the wooden bridge, and then led his hundreds of cavalry to evacuate the Tanshui River and retreated straight towards the direction of Yuyu.

The Menghuo coalition was blocked by the Tanshui River and had to stop temporarily. At the same time, he rushed to make wooden rafts and bamboo rafts to build a floating bridge. The Tanshui River was just a small river, and building a floating bridge was not a complicated project. The Menghuo coalition army built three floating bridges in just one day, and then the army drove over the Tanshui River. At this time, Zhurong's army, the people, Ailang and others had retreated to Xiaguan and prepared for battle. Xiaguan, in the southern part of Tianchi (Erhai Lake), was backed by the Zhenyu River flowing into Tianchi, sandwiched between mountains and rivers, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is the only way to lead from the south to Yanyu!

Ailang squatted on the beach on the bank of the Zhenyu River, holding a wooden stick in his hand to draw the current general terrain and the situation of both sides on the sand, and looked thoughtful and began to think. Now Meng Huo has joined forces with Wutugu and Shamoke, with a total of more than 100,000 barbarians coming to attack, while Zhurong's army was defeated, and the losses were second. The most serious problem is the low morale and the turmoil of the army. It would be fine if Xiaguan could be defended under such a situation, but if Xiaguan was lost, the consequences would be unimaginable. I am afraid that I will not be able to hold on to the position of defeat, and even Yu Yu will be lost!

Ailang rubbed his forehead and muttered, "What a headache!..." Seeing this, Wen Chou and Dian Wei thought Ailang had a headache and couldn't help but worry.

At this moment, a female soldier rode his horse to Ailang, strangled the horse, and smiled and said, "General Ma Chao, the Queen is welcome!"

Upon hearing this, Ailang immediately stood up and said to the female soldier: "I understand. I will arrive soon." The female soldier immediately turned his horse and ran back.

Not long after, Ailang and his men returned to Xiaguan City and came straight to the hall of the city's capital. Zhu Rong was wearing military uniforms and was discussing matters with his leaders, so he stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Queen!" Zhu Rong glanced at her and nodded slightly. Ailang led Wen Chou and Dian Wei to Zhu Rong's side. Zhu Rong pointed to the sand table in front of him and continued, "According to the scout just now, Meng Huo's coalition forces are only more than ten miles away from Xiaguan. It is expected that they will arrive at the city before sunset today!" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but show a serious look on their faces.

Zhurong looked at the oldest leader under his command and asked, "Kunmu, how many soldiers and horses do our army have now?" Kunmu bowed and said, "Report to the Queen, our army now has 80,000 people, of which 60,000 are arranged in Xiaguan City, and the other 20,000 are stationed in Yanyu City!" Zhurong's army suffered a lot of losses in this round of war, why are there still 80,000 people? It turned out that during the period when Zhurong fought with the enemy, she was not idle at the rear, because she had ordered all divisions to mobilize the subordinates as much as possible. Therefore, when she retreated, as many as 40,000 troops were reinforced by Yanyu. With these new forces, Zhurong was somewhat sure to defend Xiaguan and even Yanyu. Otherwise, it would be quite difficult for the retreating remnants to defend the front, not only daydreaming, but it would be quite difficult!

A middle-aged leader said: "Xiaguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although the enemy's troops are several times more powerful than me, it is not easy to break Xiaguan!" The leaders nodded and agreed.

Zhu Rong looked at the sand table in front of him for a moment, then looked at Ailang for inquisitive eyes. Seeing this, Ailang pointed to the surrounding area of ​​Yuyu and asked, "Can the enemy not come in other directions?" Zhu Rong showed a thoughtful look. Kunmu said to Ailang: "The water surface of Tianchi is vast, and it is not easy to cross it. We have received all kinds of ships on Tianchi to the west bank. If they want to cross Tianchi, they must cut down trees on a large scale to make wooden bamboo rafts. It is impossible for us to notice such actions! At that time, we should take countermeasures, and when they cross to intercept, we have at least 50% chance of winning!"

Kunmu pointed to the mountain range in the west and said, "As for the left, there is a vast mountain, and Meng Huo's army has no possibility of crossing it. It is impossible for small elite troops to cross the mountain to break through the mountain." Finally, he pointed to a narrow area between the mountains and Tianchi in the north of the mountain, and said, "This is Shangguan. The terrain is more dangerous than Xiaguan. Only a small road winds between the poor mountains and the bad waters, and the army is difficult to spread. It can be said that one man is the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it! The queen has ordered the local leader to command 3,000 troops to guard Shangguan. Even if there are thousands of troops coming, the enemy will definitely not be able to break through! Moreover, I think the enemy will not want to launch an attack from this dangerous place at all!"

Ailang looked at Shangguan, then returned to the position where Xiaguan was and said, "In other words, the main battlefield is at Xiaguan!" Kunmu nodded.

Zhu Rong looked at Ailang. Ailang raised his head and smiled and said to Zhu Rong: "This is easy to do! Just guard the city gate! I don't believe that Meng Huo and the others can break the city gate we defend!" The leaders nodded with consent. Zhu Rong heard Ailang's words for no reason, and for no reason, he felt a huge confidence in his heart.

In the evening of that day, the coalition forces led by Meng Huo entered outside Xiaguan City and set up a large camp. At night, the loud noises in Meng Huo's camp were still unaware of them. The people at the city gate knew that this was the sound of Meng Huo and the others rushing to make siege equipment.

Seeing that Meng Huo would not come to attack the city tonight, Zhurong returned to his residence to rest. Ailang felt that there was nothing he had done on the city, so he went back to the capital to rest. Let me explain here that since Ailang was Zhurong's distinguished guest, Ailang's current place was like Zhurong, and was in the backyard of the Xiaguan Prefecture.

Ailang is a road tycoon, and often cannot tell the difference between the east, south, west and north in strange places. At this time, the same is true in this small backyard. Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, he couldn't remember where his room was. Ailang couldn't help but mutter: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have let Wen Chou Dianwei go to rest first."

Ailang groped and walked forward. After a while, he came to an outside of a wooden house. Ailang looked around, slit his head, and muttered, "It should be that this place is correct, right?" He just thought it was wrong. He smiled, raised his foot and walked up the steps to the front of the gate, and pushed open the closed door. At this time, the lights had been lit in the room. Ailang raised his foot and walked into the room. He walked to the wooden table with the oil lamp, put down his spear, untied his sword, and then sat down, moving his somewhat tired muscles. Seeing that there was a wooden cup and wooden pot on the table, he picked up the wooden pot and found that a pot of tea had been prepared in the wooden pot. He couldn't help but praise him in his heart. He immediately poured a large cup for himself, put down the teapot, picked up the wooden cup, and raised his head and dries it. The clear tea poured into his stomach, and it felt great!

Ailang stood up, took off her coat and walked towards the screen not far away. After walking around the screen, Ailang was suddenly stunned. Because a scene that he had never expected suddenly came into his eyes, Zhu Rong, with a blonde hair, was actually sitting in the bathtub and bathing with his back to him! Ailang was stunned for a moment and came to his senses. Seeing her blonde hair draped behind her back, and her skin was dripping with water. An indescribable feeling suddenly rushed to Ailang's heart, and only felt her heart pounding.
