Sun Yanling's father was Kong Youde's general, and he was killed by Zhou Xianjun together with Kong Youde. After that, he completely lost his protection.

Fortunately, the Qing court also knew the story of buying horse bones with a daughter. They treated Kong Youde with special preferential treatment for Kong Tingxun and Kong Sizhen.

Sun Yanling grew up with Kong Tingxun since childhood and had a marriage contract with Kong Sizhen. With Kong Tingxun's recommendation, he was doing well in the Qing army, and his commanders had some of Kong Youde's original old subordinates.

When Xie Qian attacked the southern part of Xiuyan City, Sun Yanling led a group of troops to reinforce Xiuyan City and commanded Guihunta.

Although Sun Yanling was not old, he was smart and good at flattering. Because he obeyed Hunta everywhere and devoted himself to everything, he gradually became the confidant of Hunta and was the first Han general in the army around Xiuyan City.

This time Hunta reinforces Tongyuan Fort and selects people to stay.

The position of Nan Chu was the highest except Hunta, but was placed in Buyun Mountain to guard against the Keliao Army in the direction of Gaizhou. The head of Xiuyan City was Achier, and Sun Yanling was selected to assist him. This shows how much Hunta valued him.

But as a Han Chinese, Sun Yanling did not have much loyalty to the Qing Dynasty.

When Xiuyan City was facing chaos and the enemy situation was not clear, he immediately fled out of the city, causing most of his subordinates to fall into the city.

Achier was slightly better than him. At least Achier resisted for a while and gathered some soldiers and generals. He only escaped from the city after seeing that he was defeated. This is also the reason why Achier still has hundreds of flag soldiers around him now.

The two of them usually have a good relationship, and they have the common trouble of losing the city at this moment, so they can only join each other.

But now they don’t have many soldiers around them, and the one who really holds military power is Nan Chu.

Nan Chu had previously stationed in Buyun Mountain and did not fight with Li Dingguo, so he lost his troops. Now he had nearly a thousand flag soldiers around him, and the garrison soldiers from other places also came here under his orders.

Nan Chu was born into a noble Yehe family. His grandfather Jin Taiji burned himself to death after the breakup of Yehe City. Hunta's father was one of the leaders who attacked Yehe City at that time, and many soldiers were killed and injured.

Although it has been so long, both of them are now the Qing generals, and no one mentions that matter again. But for this reason, Nan Chu and Hun Ta are incompatible with each other and look down on each other, so they can only maintain superficial peace.

Achier and Sun Yanling are generals of Hunta, so they are naturally not favored by Nan Chu. In Sun Yanling's view, Nan Chu has been holding his troops so far, perhaps with the intention of laughing at Hunta.

Even if Hunta comes back, it will not be easy to reclaim Xiuyan City with the troops in his hands. It is said that he has to seek the support of Nan Chu without getting the time.

If Achier could conquer Xiuyan City before Hunta came back, then such trouble would naturally be gone, and his and Achier's sins would be reduced.

Sun Yanling sighed slightly, not because he was unhappy. But he felt that if he had known that the enemy had been so unbearable, he should have held in the city for a while. Perhaps Xiuyan City had not yet fallen at this moment and would not have been so troublesome.

But soon, Sun Yanling lost his thoughts and ran away.

Xiuyan City is made of stone, without a moat or suspension bridge, and it is connected directly inside and outside. With a slight "creaking", the gate of the city tower was slowly opened.

When several Qing soldiers near the city gate saw it, they thought someone in the city responded, so they hurriedly called the soldiers and rushed to the city gate.

But before they reached the door, they heard a burst of rapid horse hooves resounding throughout the world.

Before the Qing soldiers could react, they were knocked away by the speeding horses, and then they fell to the ground hard, and were stepped into a ball of meat paste by the following horses.

Two hundred cavalry galloped out, and Li Dingguo, who was the first to be the leader. He was wearing black armor and a golden bronze helmet. The red cloak behind him was raised high, echoing the red tassels on the helmet.

He controlled the reins with one hand with his left hand and held the spear in his right hand with a cold face as if covered with frost. His eyes flashed with gleam, staring at the Qing army ahead, completely looking at the prey before preying.

A big red flag beside him was erected with a huge black character Li on it, and a small character next to it, which read "General Dingliao from Liaodong".

Two hundred elite cavalry followed closely, following the flag, or Li Dingguo.

Everyone was silent, silent, only with the sound of horse hooves. They rushed out of the city and rushed towards the archer behind the formation in a cone.

The tactics of fighting between two armies, facing each other, and hurting the enemy by one thousand and destroying themselves by eight hundred are always the least smart. Famous generals are always good at finding the weakest points of the enemy and winning the victory with the smallest losses.

These archers are responsible for covering the siege and are very close to the city wall. Most of the infantry are siegeing the city, and there is basically no protection around them.

After rushing, the bow and arrow formation was washed away and fled in all directions.

But how can people run over horses?

The Qing archers were killed one by one, the other was killed in the local area, without any power to counterattack.

Two charges, one comes, one goes.

The bodies were everywhere, blood flowed everywhere, and screams suddenly. More than a hundred Qing soldiers were completely reduced to corpses, nearly a hundred injuries fell to the ground, moaning in pain. The rest, who could move, threw away their armor and quickly ran to the distance.

The Qing soldiers who were sieging the city were stunned and at a loss when they heard that the back formation had changed.

The defenders at the city were cheering like thunder, and the sound of killing suddenly rose. They stabbed the spears and the arrows were like rain. The Qing army was unable to raise their heads. Some of the Qing soldiers could not bear it and jumped directly from the ladder, causing injuries to their legs and feet.

The Qing soldiers who were temporarily pieced together had never seen such a formation and fled one after another, which directly affected the morale of the Qing army.

Achier killed several people, but still could not stop the overall defeat. However, some flag soldiers had been through the battle formation for a long time and knew that they would not be in chaos at this time. They gathered together automatically and tried to resist.

But Li Dingguo did not give them a chance. After two charges, he no longer cared about the archers who fled far away, and turned around and led his troops to charge towards the Qing army that was sieging the city.

Seeing that his army was in chaos, Achier had only nearly a hundred cavalry beside him. He hesitated for a moment, then called the cavalry and went up to him, and he wanted to buy time for the assembly of the infantry.

If you lose once, it is because the enemy is unknown and you run away in panic. But there are obviously not many enemy troops in front of you. If you lose again, even if Hunta finally spares him, he will be looked down upon by his soldiers.

A Chier did not allow him to defeat again, so he rushed over without hesitation. When he saw the enemy general under the red banner, he decided that it was Li Dingguo.
