The Beimang National Army began to retreat in an orderly manner. There were high mountains and steep cliffs on both sides of Beiyan Pass, with only one road passing through the middle.

The Daxuan army was attacking the city from the south, and they could not reach the north gate without crossing the Beiyan Pass.

Due to the geographical advantage, the Beimang army retreated very smoothly.

However, Liang Junshan never expected that the disappeared Yan army had already taken a detour from Yan State and re-entered Wujiu Mountain, ambushing on the road they had to retreat.

After fleeing for a day and a night, the Beimang army suffered its worst defeat in history in a canyon in Vulture Mountain.

"General! Our army has been ambushed by the enemy!"

"Enemy fire attack! Be careful!"

"Watch out for the rolling stones!"

"what--"

Accompanied by the enemy's exclamations and screams, huge fireballs and boulders rolled down from the cliffs on both sides, killing and injuring countless enemy soldiers.

The raging fire ignited the winter hay, set fire to the enemy's armor, and killed, burned, choked and choked a large number of enemy soldiers.

The valley was filled with flames and billowing smoke. Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, the Yan archers shot arrows from the mountains on both sides.

At the same time, the soldiers of Yan State threw rocks and rolling logs, causing the enemies at the foot of the mountain to flee in panic and trample on them.

Liang Junshan hurriedly organized the army to break out: "Fight to the death and get out."

The soldiers of Beimang State risked their lives to fight out, and more than half of them were killed or wounded.

At this point, only 30,000 of the remaining 80,000 troops at Beiyan Pass were left.

They ran all the way and finally escaped to the valley entrance, only to see a huge black army in front of them.

Yan Longyi personally led the troops, along with Yan's heavily armored soldiers and heavy archers, and had been waiting here for a long time.

The moment he saw Yan Longyi, Liang Junshan's heart sank to the bottom.

A month ago, it was he who chased Yan Longyi, who was desperate and almost died.

Unexpectedly, a month later, the situation was reversed and he was blocked here by Yan Longyi.

"Crossbowmen! Release!"

At Yan Longyi's command, a large number of black crossbow arrows flew out, and the soldiers of Beimang Kingdom were hit and shot away.

In an instant, the horses in the Beimang army wailed, the soldiers screamed, and the Beimang army fell into chaos again.

At this time, the soldiers of Yan State lined up and advanced step by step, and the army chasing behind Liang Junshan also rushed up.

Liang Junshan was covered in cold sweat. At this point, he had no choice but to charge out with the remaining soldiers.

After a day and a night, Liang Junshan finally broke through a gap and fled with the remaining 2,000 people.

Yan Longyi led his men and chased all the way to the border of Beimang Kingdom before returning.

On the tall peak of the branch of Mount Vulture, Yan Longyi stood with his hands behind his back. The strong wind blew up the man's robe, making it flutter.

Yun Li stood beside his prince and couldn't help but feel emotional when he thought of this battle.

"Your Highness, Miss Si is truly astute in her predictions. The enemy has truly abandoned Beiyan Pass and retreated from Pingliang Valley."

"That's because the new firearms developed by Ayan are so powerful that the Beimang army can't withstand them." Yan Longyi replied.

Yun Li nodded and looked at his prince. "There's something I'm not sure about. How did Miss Si know the enemy would retreat from here? There are many roads in Wujiu Mountain. What if Liang Junshan didn't choose this route?"

"That's the confidence of a strong man." Yan Longyi smiled slightly. "Ayan has seen the map I drew and has actually surveyed the terrain of this section of Wujiu Mountain. After the Liang army was defeated at Beiyan Pass, they only wanted to return home as soon as possible, so they had to pass through Pingliang Valley."

Yun Li couldn't help but admire: "Miss Si's careful thinking and bold actions are truly admirable."

Yan Longyi smiled silently, thinking of the nonsense that Ah Yan had said to him, which now came true.

"Your Highness, should we return directly to Yan State now, or..."

"Go to Beiyan Pass."

"Your Highness wants to see Miss Si again?" Yun Li asked rudely.

Yan Longyi slapped Yun Li on the head: "So what?"

Yun Li rubbed his head and was about to speak when he heard his prince say, "Beiyan Pass has been breached. Can't we discuss the mining of the iron ore at Chiluo Peak?"

Yan Longyi turned around and mounted his horse, galloping towards Beiyan Pass.

A Yan said that they would have a good talk after the big thing was over.

He had to go back and see what A Yan would say.

The weather at the border in winter gradually became clear.

When the news of the Yan army's ambush and great victory over the Beimang army came back, the Daxuan army was in an uproar.

The soldiers were unaware of the decision from above and thought that the Yan army had really retreated.

Unexpectedly, the Yan army ambushed the enemy's retreat route and cut off the enemy's retreat.

Three days later, the Yan army returned victoriously and joined the Daxuan army at Beiyan Pass.

King Yong ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep to reward the soldiers of the three armies.

Yan Longyi searched the banquet hall, but didn't see Si Yan, and he could no longer sit still.

He stood up and left the table, looking for Si Yan everywhere, but met Qi Ziyu who had also left the table in a secluded place.

"Is Prince Yan looking for Miss Si?" Qi Ziyu asked softly with a smile on his face.

Yan Longyi replied casually: "Just taking a stroll."

Qi Ziyu spoke to himself, "Miss Si went to Vulture Mountain yesterday and said she would be back in two days."

"Ayan went to Vulture Mountain?" Yan Longyi's expression suddenly became serious. "She went alone?"

"General Si sent a team of people to follow her." Qi Ziyu said with a smile.

"Did she say what she was going to do?"

"No."

Yan Longyi was silent for a moment, then turned and left.

Qi Ziyu's voice came like the wind: "If anything happens to me, please ask King Yan to take good care of her on my behalf."

Yan Longyi paused, savoring Qi Ziyu's words carefully.

After a while, he replied calmly: "Don't worry, Prince Yong, nothing will happen to you."

"I mean, what if?" Qi Ziyu said softly, "What if something happens to me..."

"Nothing unexpected."

Yan Longyi interrupted Qi Ziyu decisively, "Ah Yan will definitely be able to protect the people he decides to protect, and I will fully support Ah Yan."

A Yan has made up his mind to protect Qi Ziyu, and nothing will happen to Qi Ziyu.

Qi Ziyu approached Yan Longyi and smiled slightly: "My body may not be able to hold on for much longer. Even if I go back and live in peace, I won't live long. I say these words sincerely."

Yan Longyi slowly turned his eyes around and understood what Qi Ziyu meant.

But he couldn't give the man an answer because A Yan hadn't given him an answer yet.

He wanted to take good care of Ayan, but he also needed Ayan's consent.

He didn't care that A Yan and Qi Ziyu were engaged, but he cared about A Yan's feelings.

"Prince Yong can rest assured. Ayan is not a weak woman who needs protection." Yan Longyi replied softly.

Qi Ziyu raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him with whom he had once confided his heart.

"Long Yi, I know you like the little girl. Once I break off the engagement with her, the little girl will be free."

There was a hush in the air.

Yan Longyi didn't speak for a long time.

"Thank you for your help." Yan Longyi threw down a sentence and rushed to Vulture Mountain overnight.

Qi Ziyu couldn't help but laugh. What Yan Longyi said was exactly the same as what the little girl said.

"Cough cough cough..." Watching the man's back disappear, Qi Ziyu couldn't help it anymore and covered his chest and coughed violently.
