It's night.

At night on the plateau, the starry sky is extraordinarily bright, and the cold breath permeates the surroundings, bringing a chill that penetrates into the bone marrow.

Ye Chang woke up suddenly, and there seemed to be shouts and howls in his ears.

He rubbed his eyes, whispered a curse, and looked around.

Even with a cotton coat, I still felt the chill of the city, the flames around me were extinguished, and the soldiers who were patrolling back and forth with weapons made a faint sound.

This made Ye Chang realize that he was really still on the battlefield.

The smoke of the White Sun City has not yet been completely extinguished, and there is a faint smoke outside the city, and further away, there are dotted fires, which are the camp of the Inujun.

Soon after being frustrated and retreating, the Dog Rong people made a comeback, and as Ye Chang expected, they no longer persuaded them to surrender this time, and launched a fierce attack. However, in the face of more than 100 wrenches of various sizes in the city, and more than 1,000 crossbows, the attack of the dogs only turned into corpses in one place, and the results achieved were only casualties among the defenders.

Ye Chang estimated that there should be more than 300 casualties among the dogs, while the casualties of the defenders were more than 20 people, which is quite normal. However, Inu Rong's attack can only be regarded as a tentative attack, and the real strong attack should be on the next day.

Moreover, in addition to the simple ladder, the dog Rong did not use siege equipment at all, and the next day was only afraid of being different.

Maybe it's time to go out of town at night and attack?

This idea was vetoed by Ye Chang before he came to mind, after all, he lacked practical combat experience, if the night attack failed, the little prestige and trust accumulated during the day would be wasted.

"Changran, are you awake?" At that moment, he heard someone next to him ask.

It's high-level.

"Gao Gong didn't sleep?"

"How can I sleep like this...... Indeed, it is my sin."

Gao Shi sighed softly, he had been holding back these words during the day, and he didn't have a chance to say it to Ye Chang, but now, in the dead of night, it seemed that he could say it

Ye Chang was a little surprised: "What does it have to do with you?" ”

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have come up with this idea of risking your life......"

Gao Shi's self-blame is not without reason, he and Ye Chang have reached a tacit understanding, he offers advice to Huangfu Weiming, and it is also his step forward. Originally, with this advice, he wanted to be under the curtain of Huangfu Weiming, and Huangfu Weiming recommended him for an official position.

If it weren't for that, why would Ye Chang risk his own life and offer such a strategy

"Gao Gong said this badly, are we friends?" Ye Chang chuckled twice: "Besides, I'm not unselfish in this matter, if I broke the dog Rong earlier, I can go back earlier, it's been three months before and after, and it is estimated that even if I go back, I will have to wait for the spring of next year...... A stall of pots and jars at home......"

"Changran, don't say such things to ease my heart, if you just want to get out, there is a way to get out, why take such a risk." Gao Shi sat closer to him: "I usually feel that Chang Ran is young and vigorous, and he is quite frivolous, but when he gets closer, he knows that in addition to your temper, other things are planned and then moved, and the foundation of the family, how can you change the arrangement?" ”

"Okay, shouldn't Gao Gong be my friend?" Hearing that he had to think about it this way, Ye Chang said.

"That's nature"

"Then I will also be a friend of Gao Gong, what is Gao Gong's ambition to live a fair life?"

"Lift a three-foot sword and make a meritorious service for all generations."

"In that case, there is an opportunity to help my friend achieve his life's ambition, but it only requires me to take a small risk, how can I not do it?" Ye Chang smiled very sincerely, Gao Shi couldn't forget this night in his life, Ye Chang's eyes were like starlight, and he said to him in the surrounded city: "If one day, you only need to take a little risk, but you can help me realize my life's ambition, can you do it?" ”

"Nature will do it"

"That's it, I'm just doing what my friends do. However, Gao Gong, after this incident, I have another understanding of this emperor, this person is ruthless, and I am afraid that it is not the master. ”

"Yes, I think so...... However, I have no intention of taking him as the master, he has been at the border for a long time, and he should be transferred back to the center soon. ”

At this point, the two know the same, after this battle, no matter whether they win or lose, Huangfu Weiming will definitely enter the court, and Gao Shi wants to stay at the border, with his intelligence, he will naturally have few opportunities to make meritorious contributions.

The two of them talked about it, they both felt happy, Gao Shi was a poet after all, and he was about to recite a poem, Ye Chang was about to copy a poem in response to emergencies, but at this moment, he found that the camp of the dog Rong in the distance began to be chaotic as if something had happened.

"Huangfu Weiming is here" He was overjoyed: "Night attack? ”

Looking at the situation, it looks like someone launched a night attack on the dogs. But Ye Chang didn't know what to do, after the dog Rong had passed through his crossbow salvo, he had become much more cautious, and he had widely distributed reconnaissance horses, not only to guard against his night attacks, but also to be extremely wary of the sudden appearance of Huangfu Weiming's army.

But this night attack still came inexplicably

Because it was not the army that launched the night attack, but just one person.

They scouted and rode and were able to find a large group of people, but it was difficult to notice that Nan Jiyun was alone, and even if they found out, they were only regarded as Tang people's scouts.

Nan Jiyun already had eight war horses at this time, he led these eight horses to a high place, looked down at the lower part of the mountain, and saw that the camp of the dog Rong company was dotted, which looked like a galaxy, and surrounded the city. In the meantime, there was silence, with the occasional neighing of horses, and the military discipline was strict.

"I don't know how many people there are." Nan Jiyun looked intently, but his heart did not waver in the slightest.

"Such a military camp is heavily guarded, and if you want to break through, I'm afraid it's not easy." He frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at what he had captured

His family was poor, and he learned to ride horses from others after arriving in Luoyang, and his riding skills were not very good, but after being recruited by Ye Chang, he made up for it for a while. Therefore, he was very fond of horses, and he was reluctant to give up after shooting and killing the Dog Detectives and seizing their horses, but at this time, he wanted to break through the formation, and it was impossible to carry these horses anymore.

After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly remembered what Ye Chang had said.

Nan Jiyun did not have any formal education, and although he was proficient in martial arts, he did not know much about the art of war, and he was not even literate. After learning about this situation, Ye Chang felt sorry and persuaded him to read and write, and on the way here, he also specially used Sun Wu's art of war as the basis and told him to listen.

Ye Chang's lectures were interspersed with a large number of strategies, including one of the Tiandan Fire Bull Scheme.

Nan Jiyun looked at his horses, since it was impossible to take them into the city, let's make the most of it.

He strung the reins of all seven horses into a string, then found wet grass and tied it behind the horses' tails.

The grass was set on fire with a fire sickle, and because the grass was wet, it emitted a lot of smoke. The horse snorted uneasily and kept scraping the ground, and Nan Jiyun patted one of them: "I'm sorry." ”

After saying that, he slapped the horse's buttocks hard with his horse's lance, and then went to hit the rest of the horses' buttocks. The horses were frightened, and at once they neighed and rushed forward, and seven horses galloped at the same time, and they were tied to each other's reins, and could not disperse, so they could only rush down the hillside.

Nan Jiyun played a trick here, and the seven horses didn't rush straight to the dog camp, in that case, it wouldn't take long to be killed and exposed. The horses galloped forward in a manner that was nearly parallel to the canon's tent, and within two miles they would keep a certain distance from the canu's tent.

Although the dog Rong is camped, but the habits of the nomads, it is considered a camp when they set up an account. They were also very vigilant, and as soon as the sound of horses' hooves sounded, they were alarmed, and immediately someone came out to intercept them. But in the darkness, there were only gray shadows and a cloud of smoke, and there was no human figure in sight, and the only way for the dog to shoot was to shoot all arrows.

But the distance between the horse and the horse was beyond the reach of an arrow, and the wet grass pushed by the horse's tail, with thick smoke and sporadic fire, dragged all the way over, and the momentum was unabated, so that Inurong could not judge how many men and horses had come.

Amid the neighing of the horse, Nan Jiyun tightened the silk silk of his armor, quietly urged the horse, and moved in another direction.

His horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth, so there was not much noise, especially when the seven horses made a great noise, which startled the dogs in the camp. Therefore, when Nan Jiyun approached, no one noticed it.

"Who?" The man asked in the dog language.

Nan Jiyun didn't know what the other party was asking, he replied vaguely, and pinched the horse's belly.

Previously, the horse had only trotted slowly, and when he caught it, it suddenly accelerated, and rushed out like an arrow off the string.

At the same time, it was the bowstring in Nan Jiyun's hand humming.

In the darkness, the torch illuminated his vision, and the dog who held the torch high to see him clearly fell, and the torch fell to the ground

At the same time, Nan Jiyun's horse rushed into the camp

The bow was put away by him, and in its place was the lance, which stood up, and the lance poked out like a viper, picking up a dog.

Dog Rong's attention was attracted by the seven galloping horses, and Nan Jiyun burst into it, holding a lance in both hands, like chopping waves, and penetrated into the dog Rong camp. The bloody storm that unleashed everywhere he went made the inaudible inability to determine where the enemy was even more confusing.

In the minds of the Inurong people, setting off such a momentum, it must be for a night attack, but they don't know that Nan Jiyun's purpose is just to pass through their encirclement and enter Huacheng City. Therefore, when Nan Jiyun broke through the siege, they realized that there was only one enemy.

"Catch up with him, kill him"

For Inurong, this is a great shame, and the blow is hardly inferior to that of a high-ranking person who is half-shot by a crossbow during the day

Hundreds of dogs chased after him, and countless arrows, swarms, and locusts flew into the sky, and rained down behind Nan Jiyun. If it weren't for the armor on his body, Nan Jiyun would have become a hedgehog long ago, Rao is like this, when there were still about a hundred steps away from the city, the war horse under him neighed sadly, and finally fell to the ground.

Nan Jiyun rolled, shook off the stirrups, and broke through the encirclement, which had consumed most of his physical strength, and at this moment, the unprecedented fatigue made it almost difficult for him to stand up.

"Kill, kill, kill Don Dog"

There was a shouting sound behind him, and Nan Jiyun couldn't understand what these noisy sounds meant, but he could guess it. He finally felt a trace of fear in his heart, but he never doubted the correctness of his breakthrough.

"Help me," he shouted.

At this time in the city, Ye Chang leaned over and tried his best to look out, and at the same time secretly cursed himself in his heart, why didn't he get the telescope.

In fact, even if the telescope is hopeful, it is not of much use in such a night.

"It's not like a raid." Gao Shi said on the side.

"What the hell is Huangfu Weiming doing here?" Ye Chang also said.

Then he faintly heard something below, because the sound coming from the dog Rong was so loud that he covered it up so that he couldn't really hear it. He turned back and asked, "Did you hear anything?" ”

"Help me Ye join the army and help me" Ye Chang's voice was very loud, and Nan Jiyun heard the shout. But he fought fiercely for a long time, he didn't even drink a sip of water, his throat was astringent, and he tried his best, but he couldn't make much noise.

"Pig's nest? Is it the dog Rong who is scolding us? Gao Shi also faintly heard a little sound, half-guessing and half-guessing.

"The sound doesn't seem to be far away, so that the crossbowmen are ready," Ye Chang said.

As soon as he heard that he was going to use a crossbow, Nan Jiyun didn't know where he got the strength, and shouted: "It's me, Nanba, help me."

He struggled to walk, and behind him was a cavalryman, so between these few words, the dog Rong was almost less than thirty paces away from him. In the gallop of a war horse, thirty paces is only a matter of moments

At this time, Ye Chang finally recognized Nan Jiyun's voice, and said in surprise and joy: "It's Nan Ba - a crossbowman, shooting at sixty paces away."

The sound of strings was continuous, and Nan Jiyun felt as if hundreds of wasps were flying over his head, and then, behind him, there was a sound of screaming and screaming in pain, and the sound of the horse's hooves that were chasing endlessly was also paused.

He mustered his best strength, and rushed to the front of the trench in three steps and two steps, and there was no standing water in the trench, but it was full of spikes, and he was hesitating, and the other side began to lower the drawbridge.

The drawbridge was only half placed, and the dog Rong who was temporarily blocked by the crossbow behind him pressed it again, and they also saw that this was an opportunity and wanted to take the opportunity to rush into the city. Ye Chang shouted loudly to order the crossbowman not to stop shooting, and then shouted to Nan Jiyun: "Jump, jump"

Without waiting for the suspension bridge to be completely lowered, Nan Jiyun jumped desperately and threw himself on the suspension bridge. Ye Chang saw that he had already gone on the suspension bridge, and immediately ordered the soldiers to twist the suspension bridge.

The dog Rong who was chasing Nan Jiyun could only shoot arrows at the drawbridge, but was repelled by waves of crossbow arrows in the city. Nan Jiyun cowered behind the suspension bridge, gasping for breath, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.

Today, he came out of the battle and killed him really happily

Seeing that the dog Rong retreated, a few torches were thrown down, illuminating Nan Jiyun's face, Ye Chang said to Lu: "Nanba, you have nothing to do, right?" ”

"There's nothing to do, there's work to worry about"

"Put the basket and pull him up." Ye Chang said again.

After a while, a hanging basket was put down, Nan Jiyun straightened his things, and found that even the horse lance had been thrown away by himself, and the only thing left was a bow, and the arrows in the quiver were all shot at Yu Jingjing. He wanted to climb up the hanging basket, but he felt that his hands and feet were weak and he couldn't move at all, so he said bitterly: "Come and help me...... I don't have the strength anymore."

The hanging basket was pulled up again, and after a while, a man was put down. Nan Jiyun was half-lying and watched, and was startled when he found that it was Ye Chang who came down: "Ye joined the army, how did you come down?" ”

"The night is encircled, of course I want to come and see our Tang Dynasty's Zhao Zilong" Ye Chang was also startled when he saw that he had several arrows inserted in his body, but seeing that he was still in good spirits, and seeing that these arrows were not critical, he smiled at the moment.

Nan Jiyun's heart suddenly rejoiced.
