Close-quarters combat on mountainous terrain is not their strength.
The soldiers of Zhongshan Kingdom, who train in the mountains year-round and are very familiar with the terrain, are clearly more powerful than Murong Lie's elite troops, even though they are not as brave and fierce.
Just as the remnants of the Tuoba tribe had withdrawn from the encirclement, the troops of the Zhongshan Kingdom continued to charge in.
Murong Lie fought and retreated, finally leading his remaining troops out of the pass...
In this battle, 3,000 of Hu Yan's soldiers also died.

What I've lost this time isn't just marriage and love; it might even mean losing my chance to inherit the Khanate.
The thought of all this made the handsome prince feel as if his heart was being cut by a knife!
