Originally, in the darkness and chaos of night, the Tang army was scattered and separated from each other, and they could not echo each other at all. Although the officers and men of the Tang Army were brave, in the face of this situation, they fought separately and naturally could not resist.

Some of them called out to their companions, but every time they spoke, they were surrounded by a crowd of enemy troops. Sporadic shouting, no matter how brave it is, it doesn't make any sense.

But now it's different, now thousands of people are speaking out, and while the Great Food Coalition Army is killing at the place where it is spoken, the Tang Army is also rushing to the place where it is spoken. Aware of the arrival of reinforcements, they mustered up their best efforts and tried to gather them together.

When the Tang army gathered, the brave and daring warriors stood at the head of the team, and formed a wedge-shaped small assault camp, and the encirclement of the big cannibals was in jeopardy. And the crazy impact and slashing from behind also made the Great Food Department suffer from the enemy, even if those religious fanatics were no longer afraid of death, when they were almost killed, they surrounded and self-extricated.

When Yuan En saw this scene, he was really shocked: seeing that the victory was imminent, the revenge of his family and country would be avenged, but the Tang army that suddenly came out behind him made most of the results he expected run away.

"Kill, hunt them down," he shouted hoarsely, but the coalition forces of the surrounding river countries did not listen to him, and everyone began to gather their troops, the sky was getting darker and darker, and it seemed that it was going to rain, at this time, it should wait for the order of the commander of the Great Food Army.

Ziyad ibn al-Saari's tent was perched on a hill where he could look down on the battlefield. As the battle progressed, he shifted his tent position three times in order to get closer to the front of the battlefield.

Although it was dark, he was still able to grasp the situation on the battlefield with the shadows reflected by the torches. From the moment the Grolu people began to attack the Tang army according to the secret agreement, there was a smile on his face, because he knew that he would win a complete victory in this difficult battle.

Thank God for the courage and strength of my warriors to defeat those Qalaf's prophets, who taught us that it is good that all al-Qalaf'i will go to Hell and kill them and take their possessions. In the time of the father of the kings, Hacha ibn Yusuf promised his two great generals that whoever conquered China first would be the governor of China. This time, I defeated the Chinese, the Abbasid Caliphate, will I be appointed as the governor of China?

"What's going on" Just as Ziyad was thinking about the impending victory, suddenly, a group of Don troops who rushed into the battle group singing war songs in the darkness in the distance attracted his attention. He found that the part of the Tang army's impact was the part where the allied forces of the countries in the river combined with the Great Food Headquarters, and immediately stood up from his horse.

"Reinforcements from the Tang people...... The Tang people even had such an army" Seeing the shadow of the fire rushing into their own army, nailing a hole in the originally tight encirclement, and then more figures converged towards the opening, and the smile on Ziad's face disappeared.

"Mutalib, take the Khorasans and plug the gap," he ordered the general beside him.

The "Yes" general and the Khorasan cavalry began to rush towards the gap, but the scale of the battlefield was too large, and Ziyad quickly judged that even if Muttalib arrived, it would not be of much use.

He became more and more anxious in his heart, and he couldn't block the retreat of the Tang army, which meant that most of the Tang army would break through the encirclement, and his plan to decide the ownership of the Hezhong region in this battle might not be realized.

Du Huan didn't die, after breaking out of the encirclement, he sat on the ground and laughed wildly.

"Who is it, who sent reinforcements?" Someone asked.

Du Huan heard the voice, this was Duan Xiushi's voice, the Lang general next to Li Siye, he also broke through the siege and killed.

"I am Bai Xiaode, Ye Gong, the protector of Anxi and the head of the rear army, sent me to help, do you still have the strength to fight again? If there is, then kill me again and save more brothers" A voice sounded not far from Du Huan, and Du Huan was stunned: Bai Xiaode

He knows that Bai Xiaode is in the Anxi Army, and he has always been known for his bravery, but he doesn't know what Lu Dao is for, and he has not been appreciated by Gao Xianzhi, so Bai Xiaode was not taken by Gao Xianzhi on this expedition.

But here he is now

"Ye Gong sent reinforcements here" Duan Xiushi knew that there were more things about Lu Dao than Du Huan, who was just an ordinary school guard in the army, and he was pleasantly surprised when he heard this: "He actually sent reinforcements."

"Exactly, don't panic, just kill the enemy with me." Bai Xiaode shouted again, and then the horse rushed towards the enemy formation again.

Duan Xiushi followed by his side, and rushed out of the gang together. Ye Chang sent reinforcements, it was really unexpected by Duan Xiushi, Ye Chang's opposition to this western expedition was very clear to him, and now it seems that Ye Chang can not only expect that the Grolu people will rebel, but also have a grand weapon, regardless of previous suspicions, and sent reinforcements in advance

At that time, Gao Xianzhi didn't give him any face before tens of thousands of soldiers, so he couldn't get off the stage. Moreover, Duan Xiushi knew that before this, Ye Chang had repeatedly reminded Gao Xianzhi through the imperial court and other ways to beware of the betrayal of Fan Hu in the army. This piece of kindness was abandoned by Gao Xianzhi and trampled on it.

But just when the Western Expeditionary Army led by Gao Xianzhi was facing a dilemma, and Gao Xianzhi himself didn't know where to go, it was Ye Chang who sent reinforcements to come to the rescue

This kind of character is only dozens of times better than that Gao Xianzhi

Duan Xiushi compared Ye Chang and Gao Xianzhi's eyesight together, and suddenly felt that Ye Chang was much more clever than Gao Xianzhi.

"Bai Gong, I will kill with you" In the flash of his mind, Duan Xiushi said angrily: "Everyone, although we are temporarily safe, but there are still Pao Ze partners trapped in the enemy formation, how can we abandon them?" ”

"Exactly, I am also willing to fight with Bai Gong" Du Huan also stood up with a knife and said angrily.

"You're not bad, I thought you were a waste, but now it seems that you still have a bit of backbone." The veteran who had been fighting side by side with Du Huan next to him said with a smile.

Du Huan's face flushed, when he was in crisis, he abandoned the knife and wanted to surrender, and now that he thinks about it, it is really a great shame

"Kill" he didn't argue, looked at Bai Xiaode's back, and rushed over.

More and more Tang troops gathered together from the surroundings, and they repeatedly rushed to kill, although the whole battle situation could not be changed, but after all, most of the besieged Tang troops were taken out. After a fierce battle for a long time, they fought and retreated, returning the way they came.

How could the Great Food Army be willing to say that the fruits of victory flew away, and although the Great Food Army won this battle, it did not completely eliminate the Tang Army's combat ability, if the Tang Army was given a chance to rest, it might come back again. Therefore, Ziad, who was blue-faced, did not hesitate and directly ordered: "Pursuit"

"General, there is thunder in the sky, and there will be heavy rain soon, in this case, the soldiers are hungry and tired, and it is not suitable to fight again, why don't you go back and rest first?" Someone next to him persuaded him.

"We are tired, the enemies of the true god are even more tired Now we have the advantage, if we can't keep up, the Tang army retreats into the mountains, holding the dangerous mountain road, it will be difficult for us to defeat them again Listen, the caliph said, whoever conquers China first can become the governor there, that is the true god promised our land Our allies are now fighting the Chinese in the south, this is our best opportunity" Ziad angrily pulled out his scimitar: "If you are too timid to step forward, then let me pursue alone, God is greater"

"The true god is great" was encouraged by his words, and all the generals were determined to continue the pursuit

But the heavy rain came sooner and heavier than they expected, and it didn't take long for the torrential rain to be like a torrential rain, and it was difficult for both the Great Food Army and the Tang Army to even open their eyes in the rain, let alone fight. The two sides had to stop, and Ziyad did not know what to do, and the rain allowed him to avoid the fate of the ambush.

Occupying the camp of the Tang army, he collected his troops to rest, and after the Tang army got rid of the pursuit, it was hungry and hungry, and after withdrawing more than ten miles, it could no longer move.

"This is not the way, if this is the case again, the wounded soldiers will be all finished, and they must rest" Duan Xiushi looked around, after the excitement of breaking through the encirclement, now Tang Jun was depressed again. Although most of the Don Army managed to break through and come back, it has to be admitted that it was a fiasco.

Not to mention the betrayed Glolu, that is, the Tang army and the Bahanna coalition army, not to mention that more than 20,000 people were killed or captured in this battle, and the rest were all wounded, if they could not get timely help, I am afraid that many of them would not last for a few days. Moreover, all the baggage, grain and grass of the Tang Army were abandoned, and it was impossible to build a tent to protect them from the rain.

"Aggrieved" Bai Xiaode snorted and muttered.

Although he has made great achievements today, such a fiasco makes him extremely unhappy.

"Bai Gong, think about it, see if you can make up the tent ......" Duan Xiushi looked for him, and was about to persuade him to set up camp, when suddenly, he saw a fire lighting up in front of him.

Most of the torches were extinguished under the heavy rain, and the fire was clearly under some kind of shelter. Duan Xiushi raised his eyes and looked east: "That's Baishiling...... Are we our own people? ”

"Li Sheng of the Tianwei Army is here." Bai Xiaode said: "Ye Zhongcheng originally arranged for him to prepare an ambush for the pursuers, but now the rain is heavy, the big cannibal has not chased, and the ambush is useless, so I think he will answer us." ”

When I came closer, I saw that as Bai Xiaode expected, hundreds of tents were set up in the leeward area, and there were fragrant broth boiling in large iron pots. These soldiers of the Tang Army, who were hungry and cold, couldn't help cheering when they saw this, and they all praised Tianwei Army for their thoughtfulness.

Duan Xiushi didn't expect that in such an embarrassing situation, there would be food and drink. He was a little surprised, and then he saw a torch under Ye Chang striding over.

"How did Ye Gong get here," he was shocked.

Originally, I thought that Ye Chang just sent Bai Xiaode, Li Sheng and others to come, and he was still in Broken Leaf City, at most he only arrived in Ashi Bulai City, but he never thought that Ye Chang himself had also arrived in Baishiling

"This rain is unfortunate, if it weren't for this rain, it would be a big killing." Ye Chang opened his mouth and said: "Xiaode, you have done an excellent job, if it weren't for you, we don't know how many soldiers we would lose."

Bai Xiaode grinned: "It's clear that Ye Zhongcheng is planning properly, and he just did his duty." ”

Ye Chang patted him on the shoulder: "Hugh has to be polite to me, good is good, if you don't do well, I won't be merciful when I scold you." ”

After finishing speaking, his expression was solemn: "I know all the hard work of everyone, but now I have to hold on, first collect the wounded soldiers and place them, and if I can save one more, it will be one." I don't know who is the leader of the army? ”

"A certain Duan Xiushi, willing to play for Zhongcheng" Duan Xiushi responded.

Ye Chang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard him introduce his name, this guy was a very famous person, how could he not know

Compared with Bai Xiaode and Wei Boyu before, Duan Xiushi's talent is much stronger, if Bai Xiaode and Wei Boyu are generals, then Duan Xiushi is handsome

"Okay, you are willing to help me, I am like a tiger" Ye Chang glanced at him, and found that he was just a partial general at this time, and suddenly had the idea of digging it up for his own use: "At this time, I am still calm and calm, and I have the wind of a general, and I am willing to help me rescue the wounded, which is due to benevolence...... Duan Gong can have words, a certain word is smooth, and the public can call a certain word"

Duan Xiushi heard that he just spoke to himself in a few words and spoke so highly of himself, and the feeling of confidant suddenly poured out, and he bowed down at the moment: "A certain word becomes a public, I don't dare to praise Zhongcheng, but I do it with all my heart and do it, and use it for Zhongcheng."

If Ye Chang was an ordinary person, of course, it would be impossible to convince a person with skills and courage like Duan Xiushi with a word, but Ye Chang is now famous and powerful, and more importantly, he is in stark contrast to Gao Xianzhi in this battle, and to a certain extent, he has the grace to save Duan Xiushi's life, so Duan Xiushi will be so impressed.

"I am also willing to use it for Zhongcheng," Bai Xiaode next to him shouted.

Like Duan Xiushi, although Bai Xiaode was appreciated by Li Siye, Gao Xianzhi did not look at him differently, and always regarded him as a brave pawn. Ye Chang was entrusted with a heavy task, and he expected it to be accurate, he had this experience, and Duan Xiu was really first, so he was also convinced.

Not only Duan and Bai, but also those rescued Tang Jun expressed their loyalty to Ye Chang. There are not many real fools in this world, Gao Xianzhi doesn't know whether he is alive or dead now, Ye Chang is the highest governor in Anxi, they just don't express their allegiance, can they still fight against Ye Chang?

Everyone is in their hearts, naturally it is good, but Ye Chang's mind at this time is not here, he said with a straight face: "It's not for me, it's really for me Datang, for me Huaxia will be handsome and easy, Huaxia can't be changed... Let's not say these words, let's collect the wounded soldiers first. I have brought fifty men with me, but there must be a shortage of manpower, and if you are familiar with the situation in the army, you will summon all those in the army who have been trained in first aid to be prepared...... Li Sheng, you set up fortifications in front of the valley to prevent the sneak attack of the big cannibals, filial piety, you work harder, send scouts to investigate, if there are our stragglers and wounded, gather them back, if the big food continues to pursue, you don't have to fight, come back and report to me quickly. The rest of the people, resting when they should rest, eating and drinking when they should eat, and nourish their spirits, and when the rain stops, we will take revenge."

"Compliance"

The armies responded in unison, and the sound rumbled through the valley.
