Despite Ye Chang's repeated persuasion, Wang Changling still followed him to the army, in Wang Changling's own words, he wrote Biansai poems, went to Biansai, but never participated in the Biansai War, this is really a great regret in life, so no matter what, I have to follow to take a look.

Just like Gong Fu's intelligence, the entire army of Jili Prefecture is only 3,500 people, and one thousand of them are Bohai nationals who trained for Shen Xi. These people Ye Chang did not mobilize, but mobilized part of the regiment to train the soldiers, so the people who came north to help Jian'anzhou were a total of 4,000 people, 2,000 regular soldiers, 2,000 regimental training is the former militia, and 5,000 people were also mobilized to stand by.

Because there is a lot of practice on weekdays, even a civilian man, as long as he is equipped with weapons, he can also be used as a soldier.

On August 26, the fifth year of Tianbao, the army was only fifty miles away from the city of Jian'anzhou, and when crossing a bridge to cross an unknown river, they encountered the Khitan scouts.

"The forest on the other side is deep and the grass is dense, and there is a fear of an ambush, so it is not suitable to cross the river." Seeing the other party's situation, Zhang Hao said to Ye Chang.

"What you said is that we are not in a hurry, let's camp here first, and then talk about the reality of the Khitan people." Ye Chang said cautiously.

For these Khitans, this was their first battle with the Tang army in Liaodong, so Gong Fu reminded Sa Lazy to be careful, and for Ye Chang, the same was true. Since the reorganization of the army in Jili Prefecture, this is the first battle, so it must also be won.

They set up camp on this side, and the scouts on the opposite side only watched from afar, and after a while, one of the scouts tried to come to the river, stretched out his bow and arrows, and shot a chirping dwarf in this way. The sound of the arrow whining and whistling, very poignant, Ye Chang's side was some distance away from the river bank, so the arrow did not shoot people, but it scared some people in the regimental training to mess up.

Training on weekdays is not the same thing as wartime, but seeing that the arrow was still some distance away, those inexperienced regimental training soldiers quickly regained their calm after a little chaos.

"I'm going to shoot him," Nan Jiyun said angrily.

"Hugh go, Hugh go." Ye Chang held him down: "It's just a shepherd slave, why fight for this momentary anger?" ”

"If you don't fight back, the enemy will inevitably be more rampant, and the morale of our army will be depressed" Nan Jiyun said: "Sima, kill the enemy to raise your might, this is what you said at the beginning." ”

Ye Chang laughed: "Don't worry, second brother, don't worry, there is a time for you to do it"

Nan Jiyun is still unsettled, since he has been fighting with Ye Chang, he has almost every battle, so he is quite self-conscious.

There was no reaction on their side, and the Khitan scouts over there were even more proud, and some even went to the upper reaches of the river, took off their pants and urinated in the water. This kind of humiliation made Nan Jiyun even more angry, and he asked Ye Chang for an order again: "Sima, I'll go and kill these scouts and sacrifice their first achievements to our military flag."

"Second brother, wait a little longer...... This is a military order."

Ye Chang gave this order, and although Nan Jiyun was annoyed, he finally stopped talking.

Seeing that no matter how provocative the Khitan cavalry was, there was no one on the Tang army's side, not even a person who went to the river to send an arrow, and the Tang people only cared about setting up a camp, so they turned back.

After a while, they returned, but with two hundred more horsemen.

"Sure enough, there is an ambush" Wang Changling's eyes were not very good, and he said when he saw a piece of Khitan.

"It's not much, more than 200 rides, but depending on the situation, it's all fine rides," Zhang Hao said.

These more than 200 horsemen were none other than Sarah. Although he was very annoyed by what Yusuke said, he was cautious in his actual use of troops, so he ambushed one elite in the woods and grass, while the rest of the army was far away. He originally wanted to lure the Tang army across the river with reconnaissance horses, kill them for a while, and test the strength of the Tang army, but he never thought that the Tang army would not move at all.

When he arrived at the riverside, looking at the Tang army from a distance across the river, Sala smiled: "Sure enough, this group of Tang troops is not good, and it is not as good as An Lushan's subordinates."

This conclusion was made because of the small number of cavalry in the Tang army. Although Ye Chang collected many things, there are only more than 800 war horses in his hands at present, and there are only 400 horses on this expedition. An Lushan, on the other hand, had many war horses, and many of his subordinates were accustomed to riding horses, so the cavalry was very elite.

After looking at it for a while, I saw that the Tang army not only had few cavalry, but also that there were not many armorers who were the most feared by the Hu people and could best reflect the national strength of the Tang Dynasty. Those elite foot soldiers who hold Mo swords and wear bright light armor are the natural enemies of Hu people's light cavalry, often thousands or even tens of thousands of Hu cavalry, and they can't help three thousand Mo sword soldiers. However, Sala did not see many armor soldiers in this Tang army, which made him even more contemptuous.

"Scolding," Sala added.

The Hu people behind him suddenly began to shout and scold, and all kinds of foul language sprayed to the other side of the river, although the Tang army here didn't understand the Khitan dialect, and didn't know what these guys were talking about, but just looking at that look, they knew that there were no good words in Lu Dao.

Seeing this situation, Ye Chang hurriedly sent someone to drink and stop, and the Tang army was angry and bluffed to their own positions, and the vigilant guards camped and camped.

Seeing this situation, Sala looked down on this Tang army even more: "Its soldiers still have some flesh, but the main general is cowardly and seeks stability...... Good, good, this battle will be won"

Having said that, Sara was sent by the Khan to assist Di Lie, and naturally he was not a real reckless man. Although he was sure of victory, he still did not take the initiative to cross the river, but left some people to watch, and then took the initiative to retreat.

After a day without saying a word, early the next morning, Sarah came to the river again to challenge, this time, with him only twenty horsemen, and he even went to the river alone, holding a lance in one hand and a bow in the other, and made a contemptuous gesture to this side of the river. Nan Jiyun was so angry that he rushed to the crown, and was about to ask Ye Chang for another battle, but Ye Chang sighed and said: "This person is majestic, he must be brave and extraordinary, but unfortunately the third brother of Shanzhi is not here, if the third brother of Shanzhi is here, he will definitely be able to fight with him." ”

Nan Jiyun was furious: "Although Shanzhi's strength is greater than mine, if it is really a battle, I am on the horse, and he may not be able to defeat me." Eleven Lang, don't you underestimate me."

Ye Chang looked at each other in astonishment, and Nan Jiyun stepped forward and said, "I am willing to behead this captive, please make a writ."

Ye Chang persuaded two sentences, Nan Jiyun persuaded more and more angry, only felt that Ye Chang's every word was the ambition of the enemy, suppressing his own prestige, he almost robbed Bai Ye Chang, Ye Chang had no choice but to say: "Since the second brother said so, then I will allow you to fight"

After receiving this order, Nan Jiyun was overjoyed, got on the horse and lifted the lance, and left the camp. Over there, Sala saw that one of the Tang soldiers came out, but the others were still shrinking in the camp, and he smiled and disagreed.

Nan Jiyun urged not to be in a hurry, he came near the river, and when he saw Sala staring at him, the thought in his heart changed: "The meaning of the fifth brother is obviously that he is afraid that I am not the opponent of this captivity, but I want him to see his own methods." If you defeat the other party, you don't show your bravery, you have to kill the other party to succeed, but if you take off the bow, the other party will definitely be on guard, it is not easy to shoot across the river, it is better like this"

Thinking of this, he took his bow out of the bow bag on the horse's back, and sure enough, as soon as he took off the bow, the Sara, who had not paid attention to him, suddenly stared at him. Nan Jiyun raised his bow and threw it on the ground like this, and then continued forward.

Sara was a little surprised: what did this Han man do, and why did he throw his bow when he came to the battle?

Nan Jiyun's move also made Ye Chang behind him a little surprised, and Zhang Hao and Wang Changling were even more strange: "Nan Eight Divine Shot, we all know, he threw the bow at this time, how to defeat the enemy?" ”

Ye Chang watched Nan Jiyun not go directly to the opposite side of Sala, but slowly walked towards the upper reaches of the river, about a hundred steps, before finding a shoal and urging the horse to cross the river. He rode alone, and abandoned his bow, and Sarah turned his head and waved his hand, but did not let the attendants behind him come over.

"Second Brother Nan will take the head of the thief" Ye Chang saw this scene and said happily: "Pass the order to go down and prepare to forcibly cross the river"

"Huh?" Zhang Hao was a little surprised: "The words you said yesterday were all the best efforts of Ji Nanba, and I and the prince both know this, but how can you be sure that he will take the head of the thief now?" ”

"You just have to look at it to know the way, the second brother is both wise and brave, as long as he is willing to work hard, he is the flying general of our army

Zhang Hao and Wang Changling looked over again, and saw that Nan Jiyun had crossed the river, and the horse continued to move forward, still maintaining that unhurried rhythm, and after a while, they were only more than forty steps away from the captives on the opposite side.

At this time, a sneer appeared on Sala's face, he also had a bow on him, but he didn't take the bow to shoot Nan Jiyun: "Wu Nahan dog, why are you here?" ”

He spoke in Khitan dialect, Nan Jiyun couldn't understand it at all, and more than 20 steps behind Sala, the Khitan people who came with him laughed, and some of them spoke Chinese, so they translated it.

After hearing this, Nan Jiyun shook his head with a smile on his face.

"You Han dog came here, didn't you come to die?" Sarah said again.

As he spoke, he waved his lance on his horse, but the cold light flashed in his eyes, and when Nan Jiyun reached a certain distance, he was about to attack and kill him.

Nan Jiyun waved his hand, made a gesture that he was not here to fight, and said a vague word, but he didn't say it very clearly, Sala didn't know what he meant, and couldn't help but glance back at the subordinate who spoke Chinese. The subordinate was waiting for a translator, when suddenly his face changed, and he shouted, "Be careful"

It turned out that at this moment, Nan Jiyun was only less than thirty steps away from Sala, and as soon as Sala turned around, Nan Jiyun suddenly kicked the horse's belly with his heel, and the horse suddenly began to accelerate, and in three blinks of an eye, the horse rushed up like an arrow from the string

And at this time, Sala Gang turned around and faced Nan Jiyun again, he was not slow to react, grabbed a lance in each hand, and stabbed at Nan Jiyun, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face.

In his opinion, Nan Jiyun is looking for death by himself.

Nan Jiyun also smiled, facing the other party's double lance, when the two saw the staggered, he suddenly stood up, the horse lance left and right, the double lance in Sala's hand actually gave him the momentum of the horse to swing open, and the door was suddenly wide open

The sinister smile on Sarah's face turned into astonishment, and the other party's movements and judgment were more than he expected

As the horse galloped, Nan Jiyun's lance was too old to retract the stabbing blow, so he used the lance as a stick and swept Sara off his horse with the handle of the lance

At this time, Ye Chang ordered: "Cross the river"

Sarah's retinue also shouted angrily, urging the horses to come to the rescue.

Sarah fell to the ground, and fell to the ground, and was covered with armor, and could not get up for a while.

Nan Jiyun's hard-working equestrian skills played a role at this time, he shook the reins, the horse turned, only rushed out of the slum less than ten steps before turning back diagonally, and at this moment Sala woke up from the dizziness, got up from the ground, and saw Nan Jiyun turn back again, he knew that something was wrong, turned around and ran.

Sarah ran in front, Nan Jiyun chased behind, and after Nan Jiyun, Sarah's retinue chased after him. The distance between the three was originally almost the same, but Sala ran on his feet, where could he compare with the war horse, so when his entourage was still shouting about ten steps behind Nan Jiyun, Nan Jiyun had already chased behind Sala.

The lance in his hand slanted downward, and with the momentum of the horse, it pierced through Sarah's back armor fiercely, and then picked it up, Sala only felt a pain in his heart, and his body was no longer under his control, and he rose into the air.

The body was in the air, and what Sala saw most was that the Tang army on the other side of the river was swarming, and it was no longer the cowardice at the beginning. He remembered Yusuke's words in his heart, and then he was engulfed in the darkness of remorse.

Holding the lance in both hands, Nan Jiyun looked back, and saw that Sarah's entourage was also about to chase after him, he glared and roared: "Shepherd, can you recognize Ah Weng me?" ”

This sound was like thunder, and the Khitan people who were chasing him saw that Sala was almost powerless to fight back, and they were already frightened, and they couldn't help but hesitate a little when they were yelled at by him. At this time, in the rear of the Tang army, the drums were like thunder, and the sound of killing was like a tide, and hundreds of Tang troops rushed towards the river.

If Sala was still alive, his men who were ambushed in the mountains and forests would have to prepare for a half-crossing interception, but Sala was dead, and the Khitans were composed of various tribes, each with its own leader, and seeing that the Tang army was strong, almost no one dared to fight again, and immediately retreated.

Without an interception, the Tang army crossed the river very smoothly. Originally, this small river was not deep, but it was necessary to build a bridge to facilitate the crossing of the river, and after two thousand elite soldiers crossed the river, they chased after the Khitans.

Sala divided his forces into two parts, one with 4,000 men, which were the various tribes attached to the Khitan in Liaodong, and the other with 2,000 men, which was the Khitan Diira headquarters brought by himself, was ambushed in the dense forest on the other side of the river. The various ethnic groups in Liaodong who came from it were far apart, they had few horses, and their courage was weak, and they were the first to flee. The Khitan Diera headquarters was hiding in the dense forest, which was originally prepared to attack when the Tang army crossed the river, but now the main general was killed, and the friendly troops fled, and they had no intention of fighting again, but the way back was cut off by the 400 cavalry of the Tang army who crossed the river first.

Two thousand against four hundred, there is an absolute advantage in numbers, but as long as these Tang cavalry entangle them for a while, and the infantry soldiers behind them follow, then the numerical advantage will be transferred to the side of the Tang army. Therefore, those Khitans were in chaos for a while, and then retreated to the depths of the mountains and forests.

This can only be regarded as drinking to quench their thirst, how can they ride horses, how can they pass through the dense forests of Liaodong, so after a while, they abandoned their horses and fled on foot
