While Ying Zhuo was discussing this matter with the three of them, he suddenly heard a report from a scout, saying that Murong Chengyu had already led his troops to a place ten miles away from the main rudder of the Eighth Hand Gate. After hearing this, Ying Zhuo asked, "Uncle Wei, have you prepared all the things to guard the mountain?"

Old Wei said, "Sect Leader can be rest assured that we have all the items such as rolling wood, battering stones, and burning oil. The subordinates around the mountain have already dug a large number of traps, and have also set up a Deer Rejection Horn around the mountain. I believe that Murong Feiyu won't be able to attack it within a short period of time."

Before he could finish his sentence, the scout horse reported, "Sect Leader, Murong Chengyu's troops are almost at the foot of the mountain."

Liu Jue frowned and said, "He's coming fast!"

"This Murong Yunyu must be too confident. I'm afraid he didn't bring any heavy equipment, and is only carrying some light equipment. Since he's already traveled a long distance, he's probably already exhausted. My army is just waiting for our return. Why don't we take this opportunity to beat him?"

Old Wei said, "You can't. Although Murong Chengyu is a long-distance attacker, our army is not strong enough. Plus, Murong Chengyu is a brave and courageous man. If we miss a single chance, we might not even be able to rescue him."

Ying Zhuo said, "Uncle Wei's words are reasonable. I think we should go out and meet Murong Wuyu first." With that, the four of them donned their armor, raised their weapons, and led their troops out of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Murong Guiyu was sitting on his horse without showing any signs of anger. When Murong Chengyu saw Ying Zhuo come out, and also saw Xing Wuming and Liu Jue laughing out loud, he said, "I didn't want to touch you two, but I didn't think that you two would listen to the words of a little kid and come here to die. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Liu Jue laughed, "The Second Imperial Guard is too serious. Even if we are no longer within the range of their annihilation today, the current Jiangnan Yuan Mansion will occasionally give us some problems. We really don't know when we will end up in the same situation as the Sovereign of the Ying Family."

Murong Guiyu said loudly, "Good, since Sect Leader Liu thinks this way, then the Prime Minister will not force you. Good, the three of you are, after all, the strongest in the entire sect. If you have any last words, then quickly tell them to this Prime Minister."

After hearing that, Ying Zhuo said angrily: "Pah! Murong Wuyu, if I hadn't softly released you a few days ago, would you have led the troops back today? Now you call us to leave a message, don't you think your old face is a little red? I think you should leave behind some last words as soon as possible! "

Hearing that Ying Zhuo had exposed his background, Murong Chengyu's face turned red as he angrily said, "Child Ying Zhuo, you still dare to spout such arrogant words today!?" Eat this old man's ass! " As he said this, Murong Guiyu rushed over with the Mountain Splitter Battleaxe in his hand. Ying Zhuo did not want to be outdone by his disciples, so he sent a long sword flying from his disciple's hand. "Tang" The two war horses hit each other, and Murong Guiyu and Ying Zhuo exchanged blows.

This time, Ying Zhuo discovered that he had been tricked, because at this moment, Ying Zhuo knew that after receiving Murong Chengyu's attack, he felt an unbearable pain coming from his two hands, and his arms were sore and numb from the shock. Seeing Murong Chengyu turning the pier and charging towards him, Ying Zhuo did not even have the strength to lift his spear, and only to see Murong Wuyu slashing at him with his axe again.

Then, the group of people immediately returned to the mountain. Murong Yunyu was so angry that he shouted: "Soldiers, listen up! "Attack the mountain immediately. You must get him back within four hours!"

As soon as his voice fell, Murong Chengyu's archers immediately rushed up, and the three rows of archers shot out their arrows alternately. In an instant, a rain of arrows swept towards the main rudder of the Eight Hand Gate, and those from the three South Kang Sects who were running too slow were all killed by the rain of arrows.

Murong Chengyu saw that most of the enemy troops had already retreated to the main rudder of the mountain. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him immediately formed an iron wall with their shields in hand, slowly pushing them up the mountain step by step.

When Ying Zhuo returned to the main rudder, he immediately ordered the disciples to throw the rolling logs and stone slabs at him to stop his attack. Murong Chengyu did not want to be outdone, so he immediately ordered the archers to shoot him down if they saw anyone still heading down the mountain with the rolling logs and stone slabs.

Under the cover of the shield formation and the crossbow archers, Murong Wuyu's fault quickly appeared before him. Xing Wu Ming noticed that something was wrong, so he immediately ordered his troops to throw the Tong Oil Blazing, causing the soldiers in the front row to be immediately doused with fire. The moment they met with the fire oil, they would immediately burst into flames, and the path up the mountain was already narrow, with many trees growing everywhere. In a split-second, ten white lines appeared, and Murong Wuyu's front team immediately ignited into a sea of fire.

Murong Chengyu's anger was naturally unquenchable when he saw this. However, attacking again wasn't a solution, so he could only order his troops to retreat and use a few crossbow archers to attack the enemies on the mountain.

Murong Wuyu's words were like a rain of arrows as he continuously shot at the mountain. Ying Zhuo continued to organize his men and continued to roll down the mountain, sending down wooden slabs of stone.

Immediately after, he cut off the water source at the back of the mountain, causing the main force to stand guard around the mountain in preparation for a prolonged battle. Seeing that Murong Guiyu was ready to fight for a long time, Ying Zhuo and the others were naturally very excited, because they knew that they wouldn't be able to calm down for long before they brought their troops here to support.

However, Murong Wuyu did not know that Ying Zhuo would go to An Ruoxue for help, but An Ruoxue actually agreed to his request. Murong Chengyu led his troops and retreated down the mountain, setting up camp to count the number of dead and wounded, and only then did he realize that he had lost nearly two hundred people during the attack on the mountain just now.

Murong Chengyu had suffered a lot of casualties, and Ying Zhuo's side wasn't well off either. Originally, Ying Zhuo didn't have a lot of troops, but after being shot by Murong Chengyu's rain of arrows, his side had suffered more than half of the casualties. This gave Ying Zhuo a headache, but in the end, Ying Zhuo was still able to defend this first day.

He discovered that the enemy's current strength was less than three hundred men and his own strength was three times stronger than theirs. Thinking of this, Murong Guiyu prepared to organize a group to attack the mountain, but when he saw that the sky had gradually darkened, he thought that it would be difficult to attack from all three directions of the Eight Hand Gate. Since attacking the mountain at night was not good for him, he ordered all the soldiers to rebel by tomorrow morning, and they would start their journey by tomorrow morning, but Murong Yu didn't know that he wouldn't be waiting until tomorrow.
