Tu Danlin, who escaped from the north gate of Tianlang Pass, ran for more than ten miles in one breath. All his soldiers were panting from exhaustion.

As for the siege camp near Anza, Tianlang Pass, it was also abandoned. Anyway, the siege army suffered many casualties, so the camp was definitely unable to hold it.

"Stop! Take a break, take a break!"

Tu Danlin finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he got off his horse and leaned against a tree trunk as thick as an arm's length.

The soldiers beside them were also lying on the ground staggeringly. Some of them were injured, and their faces had already turned pale after it took so long to bandage them.

What's more, some people ran too fast, and when they stopped, they twitched a few times, and then burped without moving.

"Water, is there any water?" Tu Danlin shouted, licking his chapped lips.

The soldier commander who had been following him closely shook his head bitterly.

They were beaten away, so they didn't carry drinking water with them. There was no creek or anything nearby.

Let alone humans, the war horses were still very tired.

"Damn! I'm so unlucky!" Tu Shanlin cursed helplessly.

The second eldest son of the Tushan family is now in a miserable state, with a piece of the breastplate on his left shoulder missing.

Looking at the remnant soldiers swaying around him with defeated faces, Tu Shanlin became extremely angry.

This was already the second time that he wandered around the edge of the Hell Gate. The last time he followed Mu Yunhuan and suffered a huge defeat outside Shuofeng City, this time it was the Tianlang Pass again.

I think back when the Yan Rong army swept across the grassland, the single cavalry he led were also mighty warriors. Not to mention victorious in every battle, at least they destroyed many tribes.

But when we came to the border of Beiliang, why didn't we work well? We were defeated one after another.

After everyone rested for a while, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance, which happened to be in the direction of their central army camp.

Tu Shanlin knew without looking that Tuoba Hong's reinforcements had arrived.

There is a distance of about thirty miles between the Chinese army camp and Tianlang Pass, which is the main camp of the army.

If Tu Shanlin had sent for reinforcements as soon as the siege army entered the city, Tuoba Hong might still be able to arrive before dawn.

But now, it's an hour or two late. These two hours were delayed because of Tu Shanlin's selfishness.

During this period, he sent a private army of three thousand disciples from the Shan family into the city. He originally planned to take the merit of the first attack on the city into his own hands, but he never thought of sending them directly to the gate of hell.

He lost his wife and lost his troops, almost costing his own life.

Tens of thousands of Yan troops did not stop, but went straight to the siege camp. Tuoba Hong led his men and horses out of the formation, heading towards Tu Shanlin.

Tuoba Hong's face was very ugly. He received the military report that the army had breached the city in the middle of the night. He was overjoyed at that time and immediately began to assemble the army to support.

It also takes a certain amount of time to assemble the army in the middle of the night. By the time the 30,000-strong army composed of cavalry and infantry left the camp, Tuoba Hong already received news of an urgent request for help.

"General Tu Dan, how could it be like this?" Tuoba Hong glanced around and found that there were only more than two thousand cavalry left with Tu Dan Lin, plus some scattered infantry.

He sent more than 20,000 people to attack Tianlang Pass, and now that's all he has left.

Tu Danlin's face was very dark, and he answered bravely:

"After the army entered the city, it fell into the trap of Liang's army and was unable to advance or retreat. Then tens of thousands of cavalry came out of the city. I was unable to fight hard and had to lead my army to retreat."

Tuoba Hong's brows knitted together, and he said in a somewhat cold tone: "A perfectly good battle ended up like this?"

Tu Shanlin pursed his lips but did not answer.

He heard the accountability in Tuoba Hong's tone, but he had nothing to say to refute it. It was a fact that nearly 20,000 people died.

"We won't discuss these details with the general for the time being." Tuoba Hong turned around and said.

: "I still need to lead the troops to recapture the siege camp. The ordnance inside is the top priority. General, please lead the troops to collect the defeated troops first. We will discuss it in the evening."

"Okay, but it depends on the general's orders." Tu Danlin nodded aggrievedly.

"Drive~"

Tuoba Hong rode away, but his last look at Tu Danlin was a little meaningful.

…

Tuoba Hong quickly led his troops to his own siege camp not far from the city. Fortunately, the Liang army was worried about the Yan army's reinforcements and did not go forward to destroy it, otherwise Tuoba Hong would really vomit blood.

If Shi Hong and Zhong Lizhuo in the city had known that it would take so long for the Yan army's reinforcements to arrive, they would have burned their siege camp to black coals.

Tuoba Hong lamented: "What a defeat, my Tuoba face is so dull."

A group of generals looked in the direction of Tianlang Pass from a distance. The smoke there had not completely dissipated, and wisps of smoke were floating into the sky.

A military general whispered in Tuoba Hong's ear:

"General, Tuva should still be in the city. This kid has always been lucky. Do you want to send troops to rescue him?"

Tuoba Hong paused for a long time and sighed: "Oh, that's all, we're late, the fighting in the city should be over now.

According to the Liang army's combat arrangements and Tuva's temperament, his trip will be fatal or not."

The several generals surrounding Tuoba Hong looked a little sad, and they also had a good relationship with Tuva.

"General, this disciple Shanlin delayed the military plane and only wanted to seek personal gain. It is really abominable! Otherwise, even if we worshiped, we would not have suffered such a miserable defeat."

"That's right, you simply regard military law as nothing! General, you have to take care of it."

Judging from the indignant looks on these generals' faces, it was obvious that they already knew Tu Danlin's tricks.

"What, is it possible to kill him?" Tuoba Hong's eyes turned cold:

"Don't you understand what the word Tudan means? He is Ling Fei's younger brother!"

All the generals shrank their heads. These people were all Tuoba Hong's trusted generals. They were all ordinary people who had come up step by step through their military exploits.

They had always disliked powerful people like Tu Danlin, but they had nothing to do.

The Tushan family originally contributed to Muyun Canglan's unification of the grasslands. The previous generation of family leaders even died in battle and made great contributions to the country.

Relying on this old relationship alone, Mu Yun Canglan would not deal with the second son of the Tu Shan family because of this small defeat.

"General, having said that, we can't ignore it completely. How will we fight future battles?"

"The general still has to think of a way."

…

The trusted generals started talking about it, which made Tuoba Hong's head hurt.

"Okay, okay, stop mumbling." Tuoba Hong waved his hand: "Just shut up and pretend you don't know about this. I will take the time to talk to him in person."

"As you command!"

All the generals showed a hint of relief on their faces, their pig teammates were very scary.

Tuoba Hong looked at the somewhat dilapidated camp and shouted in a deep voice: "Strengthen the defense of the camp and send another 10,000 infantry to assist in the defense. Please be careful and make sure you don't make any mistakes!"
