The next day, Wei Gao showed Duan Jinyi the letter of agreement from the previous night, and then solemnly, in front of Duan, put it into a deputy silver letter, carried by ten cavalrymen holding banners, and Duan asked twenty of his subordinates to accompany him, and went to the vast Qiongbu in the east, where there was a thin road leading to the Shimen Road to the east of Nanzhao, and could avoid the forces of Xifan.

Immediately, the Tang army was in the camp on the Papaya Ridge, the horn sounded the sky, Gao Yue and Wei Gao invited Duan Jinyi to watch the Tang army attack the only remaining camp in Xifan in Xiaoxianggongling.

Duan Jinyi saw the terrain of Xiaoxianggong Ridge, there was only a narrow fish ridge stone ridge road, leading to the main gate of the camp, and couldn't help but be surprised, this kind of Jedi, the Tang army only concentrated more than a thousand soldiers and horses, unless it can fly down to the camp, how to capture it by manpower?

This Wei Gao and Gao Yue are too confident!

As a result, before Duan Jinyi could say anything, there was a bang, and he was frightened: the Tang army set up several seven-tip cannons in the camp, which were pulled by hundreds of people, and the swinging arms were raised with the fierce force of the rope, throwing the "stone pills" in the bomb pocket high, drawing a beautiful long arc in the air, and smashing them one after another towards the head of the lonely city of Xifan in Xiaoxianggongling.

This kind of barracks, the wall built with stones is about one zhang and five feet high, every other section, erected wooden fences, used to defend against the attacking side's flying stones, arrows, surrounded by the wall, with three small war sheds in the north, south and middle, all facing the Yuji Ridge Road, the soldiers of Xifan are carrying cowhide shields or copper shields, tightly grasping the recurve bows, catapults, or swords and stabbing spears in their hands, lying behind the wall, when they see the "stone pills" thrown by the Tang Army's seven-tip artillery, several commanding cage officers shouted, put the shield on the top of their heads, to defend against gravel damage!

But before the words fell, the "stone pills" were tumbling in the air.

"What is this?"

Before the soldiers at the head of the battalion could see it clearly, in front of their eyes, the "stone pill" that had not yet hit the ground suddenly burst into a terrifying flame, bursting above their heads!

In an instant, a thunderbolt seemed to fall on the heads of the Xifan soldiers.

These seven cannons are not ordinary stone pills, but the real "thunderbolt fire" made by Shudu City and Xingyuan Mansion, they are made of multiple layers of hemp paper, bamboo paper, tied with hemp rope on the outside, and already have a medicine twist (ignition lead), and the inside is filled with a good ratio of sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal, which is transported here by calf over the Qionglai Pass, and mixed with terrible lime.

When they were carried into the leather pocket of the seven-tip cannon, the medicine twist was lit, so when they flew to the head of the city of Xiaoxianggongling Camp, they exploded in the middle of the air, and the lime smoke was instantly sprinkled and shrouded in the city, accompanied by the flames falling rapidly, and the Xifan soldiers who hugged their heads and screamed were lying down at the head of the city, rolling in pain, and people kept falling down the road.

Duan Jinyi, who came from Nanzhao, grew his mouth and stared at the Xifan camp covered in fire and mist.

Every once in a while, the seven cannons continued to shoot the thunderbolts that burst in the air, and the flames rose into the air, and then the lime smoke pillars fell obliquely, and then along the battlements of the city and the war tents, the shadows were enough to see the painful crawling figures of the Xifan soldiers.

But they still refused to submit.

"Enter!" Gao Gu, dressed in armor, waved a small flag.

I saw a hundred Tang soldiers, lined up in three rows, each holding a large shield covered with cowhide, this large shield is the size of a person, these soldiers are the first to climb in every battle, they have no other weapons in their hands, this shield is their only support, in addition to the shield, double armor and masked are also their characteristics - three rows of soldiers, forming a heavy and solid mobile shield wall, blocking the ramp of the Fish Ridge, slowly approaching the main gate of the camp.

Behind them, there were four rushing cars, each with two soldiers pushing behind them, and the soldiers next to them made Duan Jinyi full of curiosity, they worked in groups of three, leaning behind the shield of the rushing car, one dragging a long tube, one holding a round shield against arrows, and one carrying a box.

After that, there was a dense team of archers, some of them carrying the whips and arrows of the gods and thunders that had previously made a big splash in the great battle, and some of them were armed with ordinary bows and crossbows, which were about to provide archery cover.

At this time, in order to prevent accidental injury, the seven cannons had stopped firing, and in the Xiaoxianggongling camp in the smoke, some tenacious soldiers seemed to have organized themselves and began to shoot arrows and flying stones at the Tang army that was coming.

The first three rows of Tang shieldmen raised their huge shields one after another, and Xifan's arrows shot at them, but they could not shoot through, and then stones were thrown down, hitting some of the Tang army's shieldmen, they shook several times, but the heavy armor and helmets protected them, and finally they stuck to the stone wall of the camp and stood firm.

The cage officers who guarded the inside had wanted the soldiers to open the gate and launch a surprise attack.

But after passing through the Tang Army's seven cannons and thunderbolts to suppress the attack, in the thick smoke, there are not many soldiers who can still open their eyes, pick up their weapons and open the door to go out to fight.

It didn't take long for Duan Jinyi to see that four rushing cars were against the one-and-a-half-foot high stone wall, Tang Bing holding a pipe climbed up to the rushing car, and the other used a shield to block the arrows for him, and the next person took out a burning fire cone from the box and plunged it into the back of the pipe.

"Bang", I saw the nozzles of the four long pipes, and instantly shot out fierce fireworks more than a zhang high, mixed with all kinds of iron slag splattered out, sticking to the armor of the defending Xifan soldiers, it was pervasive, and it burned up, and then the poisonous smoke such as arsenic and grass aconitum mixed in the fireworks spread everywhere along the smoke and swept across the east gate of the entire city.

After countless whips and arrows also shot into the stone wall of the camp, the camp of Xiaoxianggongling was surrounded by fire and poisonous fog again......

In the end, more than 100 masked and antidote-free jumping soldiers first boarded the army, pulled out spears and swords from the rushing car, put the simple ladder on the wall, and climbed into it - most of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and most of them lost their ability to resist, and the purgatory in Buddhism, they used their own bodies to see it here.

The soldiers who jumped first and beheaded all the three hundred soldiers in the camp, so far they occupied the dangerous Xiaoxianggongling camp, but after resisting for half a day, they ushered in a tragic end.

Wei Gao and Gao Yue also knocked out the Divine Thunder Whip Arrows and Thunderbolt Fire Bolts that they had brought with them.

Duan Jinyi, an official of Nanzhao Qingping who watched the battle, was even more rigid in his tongue, and the two were in a war.

Now the horror of the new weapons of the Tang Army made him unbelievable.

But in any case, the fall of all the soldiers of the Xiaoxiang Gongling Camp gave him precious time, and he successfully organized a new defense after he was thrown into the stage city, and said to Ma Dingde with trepidation: Thanks to listening to your advice, there is still a way out.

Ma Dingde immediately reminded that Da Yan immediately went to Sanfu City and led the troops to garrison, according to my estimate, the Nanzhao army would take advantage of the disastrous defeat of our army to steal the city.

When he was still talking about the recklessness and suspicion of the letter, the scout in the camp outside the stage city arrested the scout, and carried a small silver letter with him.

After the silver letter was opened, it appeared in the eyes of the reckless reckless, and it was indeed a letter written by Wei Gao to Yi Mu Xun, in which the Yun Tang army had won a great victory in Papaya Ridge, and the good opportunity for self-reliance that you Yunnan had discussed with me before had arrived, and immediately sent troops to seize Shanzhou, and Tang and Yunnan formed an eternal alliance.

The letter also has the signature of Duan Jinyi, an official of the Qing Dynasty of Nanzhao.

"Sure enough!" On recklessness and anger.
