Shen Rou stood on the city wall, her eyes fixed on the battlefield in the distance. Han Lin stood quietly beside her, both of them in a very solemn mood.

On the battlefield, horses were galloping, shouts of killing were like thunder shaking the valley, elite cavalry were like arrows breaking through the water, unstoppable, tall horses were surrounding them, swords and spears were like forests, like a prairie fire, rolling in, it was horrifying.

Soldiers from both sides rushed to their respective camps, immediately tearing open a bloody gap.

Between heaven and earth, corpses were lying everywhere, and the strong smell of blood seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell.

All of a sudden, there were loud screams!

The enemy's troops were obviously more than twice as many as Shangguan Yunting's, and there was a steady stream of troops coming from behind, forming an encirclement.

Shangguan Yunting looked at Rong Che, who was wearing golden armor. As the two faced each other, he said coldly, "It seems that the Second Prince of Beiyan has come prepared."

"Prince Mu, you can't escape today. Come back with me to my Beiyan camp and have a seat."

"Don't think about it."

Rong Che held a sword in his hand, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes. He jumped up with his light Kung Fu and swung the sword at Shangguan Yunting.

Shangguan Yunting, however, showed no fear. He soared into the air like a swallow, spinning gracefully in the air as he swung his sword, emitting a brilliant radiance. The dazzling sword light shot straight up like a brilliant silver dragon, colliding with Rong Che's sword with a resounding sound.

The two figures crossed in the air, and the sound of swords clashing was endless.

Rong Che's swordsmanship was fierce and sharp, and every sword move carried a deadly threat; while Shangguan Yunting's swordsmanship was more agile and elegant. He cleverly avoided Rong Che's attacks and was able to counterattack with several moves.

For a moment, the two fought in mid-air and it was difficult to tell who would win.

At this moment, Shangguan Yunting's sword turned into a huge sword shadow and slashed towards Rong Che.

Seeing this, Rong Che hurriedly swung his sword to resist, but his strength was no match for Shangguan Yunting. He was directly knocked away by the sword shadow, and a blood mark appeared on his body.

Shangguan Yunting didn't give him any chance and attacked with another sword. The sword tip flashed past and Rong Che dodged quickly but was still injured in the abdomen by the sword tip.

He was furious, his face was ferocious, and he roared: "Kill him..."

More than a dozen guards rushed forward, waving their swords and heading straight for Shangguan Yunting's vitals.

He paused his feet, and as light as a swallow, he soared into the air, flew several feet in an instant, and landed lightly not far away.

More than a dozen guards also flew over. When Shangguan Yunting saw them coming, he swung the sword in his hand and slashed at them. His move was quick, accurate and ruthless, and the blade was sharp, making a whirring sound. In an instant, the two men fell to the ground and died.

When the guard saw his companion die, he became even more furious and attacked Shangguan Yunting with his sword.

He dodged quickly, but there were several guards behind him, so he had no way to retreat and was caught off guard and was stabbed in the back.

He groaned, then stabbed the guard behind him with his sword, and the guard fell to the ground dead. Seeing this, the other guards attacked him even more frantically.

He fought hard, but was outnumbered. New wounds soon appeared on his body, and bloodstains were obvious. He frowned in pain, but he did not stop attacking the opponent with the sword in his hand.

Rong Che was riding on horseback, guarded by several guards. Seeing Shangguan Yunting injured, he ordered: "Capture him alive."

"Yes."

Xu Yang and a dozen guards were tightly entangled by the enemy, making it impossible for them to escape and rescue Shangguan Yunting.

At this time, Leng Ce came with several shadow guards, joined the battle, and protected Shangguan Yunting behind him.

While engaging in a fierce battle with the enemy, he asked with concern: "King Mu, how are you?"

Shangguan Yunting endured the pain and said, "It's okay."

"Protect King Mu's evacuation."

"Yes."

Several shadow guards cleared a bloody path ahead to cover Shangguan Yunting's escape.

Rong Che saw that Shangguan Yunting was protected by shadow guards. How could he miss such a good opportunity? He shouted: "Capture Prince Mu, and this prince will reward you handsomely."

"Yes."

When the soldiers heard that there was a huge reward, they rushed forward without caring about their lives. The shadow guards brandished their swords and fought fiercely with them.

The Second Prince's guard, Jing Yu, supported Rong Che and asked with concern, "Master, how are you?"

"He won't die. Hurry up and catch Shangguan Yunting and don't let him escape."

"Yes."

He led his guards to surround Shangguan Yunting and the shadow guard, armed with weapons, and the two sides fought fiercely.

On the city wall, Shangguan Rui came with General Fan. Han Lin quickly introduced them: "General Fan, this is the Princess of Furong County."

General Fan said excitedly, "The name of the Furong County Lady has resounded throughout the military camp. This is the first time I've met her. She's just as beautiful and kind-hearted as everyone imagined. The cotton-padded jackets and trousers you sent us have made us feel so warm. We are especially grateful to you."

Shen Rou smiled and nodded, "General Fan, you are too polite. You are fighting bravely on the front line to protect our country. I am just trying my best to help you."

They watched the situation on the battlefield change dramatically. The Shadow Guards were surrounded by the enemy and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Shen Rou couldn't help but frown, secretly worrying about him.

"General Fan, give me three thousand cavalrymen. I want to leave the camp and rescue King Mu."

General Fan knew how important Prince Mu's safety was, and he quickly said, "Princess Furong, saving Prince Mu is of vital importance, but it is inappropriate for a girl like you to wear armor and go into battle. I will order Lieutenant General Li to lead the troops to rescue Prince Mu!"

"General Fan, don't look down on women. Women can also hold up half the sky."

"I don't look down on Princess Furong, it's just..."

Although Shangguan Rui had never seen Shen Rou take action, he heard from Xu Yang that Shen Rou was very skilled. He and General Fan had to defend the city. If the city gate was breached, he would be a sinner for all eternity.

"General Fan, don't hesitate. Let Princess Furong lead the troops out of the city to rescue the emperor's uncle. I have ordered all the shadow guards to follow her out of the city to ensure her safety."

"I will obey my orders."

"Deputy General Li, quickly lead three thousand cavalrymen to follow Princess Furong out of the city to rescue Prince Mu!"

"I have received your orders."

"Leng Xi, follow Princess Furong out of the city to rescue the emperor's uncle. There must be no mistakes."

"I humble my duty and obey my orders."

Shangguan Rui looked at Shen Rou gratefully, "Thank you, Princess Furong, for stepping forward."

"All you have to do is guard the city gate. Leave the rest to me. I will ensure that King Mu is brought back to the city safely."

"Deputy General Li, order the soldiers to prepare bows and arrows."

"Yes."

The soldiers brought a set of silver armor. Shen Rou put it on. Her eyes were firm and sharp, and she immediately had the demeanor of a female general.

General Fan quickly praised: "County Master Furong has the heroic demeanor of a female general."

"Thank you, General Fan Miao Zan."

Shen Rou ran quickly to the city gate with Han Lin, jumped on the horse, and led 3,000 cavalrymen to gallop out of the city like a whirlwind.

As Shen Rou led his soldiers out of the city gate, the enemy surrounded the city and began to attack it fiercely. General Fan and Shangguan Rui led their soldiers to fight hard.

On the battlefield, Xu Yang and a dozen shadow guards fought their way out while covering Shangguan Yunting's evacuation.

Shangguan Yunting covered his injured abdomen and ordered: "Order, soldiers, retreat..."

Xu Yang quickly shouted: "Retreat... retreat..."

When the soldiers heard the order to retreat, they quickly retreated, but the enemy pursued them relentlessly, hacking and killing them indiscriminately, and the scene was extremely tragic.

At this moment, Shen Rou arrived with archers, and arrows flew like raindrops, and the enemy soldiers fell to the ground and died one by one.

When Shen Rou saw Shangguan Yunting being surrounded, she rode her horse and rushed over without hesitation.

While holding down the Flying Tiger Claw in his hand, he shouted, "Yun Ting..."

Shangguan Yunting heard Shen Rou's cry and saw the Flying Tiger Claw coming. He was already experienced, so he grabbed the flying wire rope and flew to Shen Rou's horse back following the pull of the wire rope.

He shouted at Xu Yang and the others: "Retreat..."

The shadow guards and soldiers retreated quickly under the cover of the archers.

Rong Che's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. When he saw Shen Rou, he was stunned for a second and muttered softly: "What's wrong? It's her."

When Shen Rou saw Rong Che, she was stunned for a moment, and quickly evacuated with Shangguan Yunting on horseback.

Rong Che watched the wounded Shangguan Yunting flee and shouted, "Jingyu, take people to stop them! The prince must be found alive or dead!"

Jingyu received the order and immediately led his men on horseback to chase.

At this moment, a dense rain of arrows came and blocked their way. They were forced to stop and wave their weapons to block the arrows.

Shen Rou quickly asked Shangguan Yunting, "Can you ride a horse?"

"can."

They quickly changed positions. Shen Rou sat backwards on the horse's back and suddenly pressed the Flying Tiger Claw on her wrist towards Rong Che. The Flying Tiger Claw flew out with a whoosh.

Rong Che was injured and was slow to react. He felt a sharp pain in his arm and was pulled off the horse by the force of the Flying Tiger Claw and dragged along the ground.

His consciousness blurred in an instant, and all he could hear was the whistling wind and the sound of horse hooves.

By the time he reacted, his body had been dragged for a distance. He tried to struggle to stand up, but the horse was going too fast and he had no strength at all.

He could only ruthlessly pull the Flying Tiger Claw off his arm. Seeing this, Shen Rou quickly retracted the Flying Tiger Claw. The sharp triangle scratched a bloody gash on his palm, and he was thrown far away, hitting his head on the ground and fainting.

The guard saw Rong Che being thrown far away and jumped behind him with his Qing Kung Fu. He saw that Rong Che was covered in blood and was unconscious.

Shouted: "Medic... Medic..."

The military doctor heard the shouts and ran over as fast as he could. When he saw Rong Che covered in blood, his heart tightened.

He quickly checked the wounds and found two sword wounds on his body, but his back was bloody and torn from being dragged by the horse, making it difficult to look directly at the wound.

The military doctor's face became very solemn. He knew that Rong Che's injuries were very serious and the wound had to be treated immediately.

"Guard Jing, the Second Prince is seriously injured. Return to the camp and treat his wound immediately. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

Jingyu didn't care about anything else and quickly took Rong Che back to the camp.

When the general saw that Rong Che was injured and his soldiers had suffered heavy casualties, he immediately ordered a retreat back to the camp.
