At this time, Nanzhao was rushing towards the battlefield with all his might.

From Longwei Pass to Hedong Prefecture, but more than 30 miles of road, Ge Luofeng explained to Hong Guangcheng that they did not have to participate in the fire melee, but made a detour to intercept and kill the defeated Tang army.

Ge Luofeng felt that there were many dogs and soldiers, and it was a surprise attack, since he successfully set fire to the shipyard, it also meant that the Tang army was in chaos, so the Tang army would be defeated. However, after capturing the Tang camp, he must be busy looting, and may not be able to actively pursue the Tang army, which may give the Tang army a chance to recuperate.

He knew very well that if the 30,000 Shu soldiers could be killed, then the Tang Dynasty would no longer have troops suitable for fighting in the southwest, and although the soldiers transferred from the remaining sections and towns were brave and elite, they were not suitable for the climate in the southwest, and it was a dead end. Moreover, Ye Chang's step-by-step tactics also made him feel frightened, so he would never let Ye Chang go back alive and make a comeback.

After crossing the Black Dragon Bridge, the sound of the fire nearly twenty miles away became louder, Hong Guangcheng cursed, and then urged the sergeant to rush again.

These barbarians were accustomed to staying in the mountains, although at night, by the light of half of the fire, they ran like flying, more than ten miles, but an hour came, and when they saw that they were only two or three miles away from the fire, they could hear the cries and footsteps in front of them getting closer and closer.

Hong Guangcheng was in the Chinese army, and the front came to report that he had found the enemy, and before he could send his order back, he heard the sound of bowstrings and shouts of killing in front of him. A moment later, someone rushed over in horror: "The general, the general, it's not good, it's a dog."

"What are Inujunes?"

"What we killed just now was a dog man"

Hong Guangcheng frowned: "Take me to see"

When I arrived at the battlefield that was only a short time, there were more than ten burnt corpses on the ground, and looking at the clothes, they were indeed dogs. Hong Guangcheng's heart suddenly hung up, why did the dog Rong people flee while crying, could it be the fire...... The Dog Rong people were defeated?

As soon as this thought came to mind, he was terrified: although the Dogrons had more troops, although the Dogrons attacked at night, although the Dogrons had the help of local barbarians...... But their opponent is Ye Chang

The Tang Dynasty general who was rumored to be reincarnated by Zhuge Kongming

The barbarians really respect Kong Ming as a celestial man, even though five hundred years later, it is still so. Hong Guangcheng thought about the rumors in the army these days, and even Ge Luofeng heard about it, and even wanted to build a Wuhou Temple in Taihe City to pray.

"Did you fall for it?"

He was beating a drum in his heart, but he was carrying the life of Ge Luofeng, and he couldn't give up halfway, so he could only reluctantly continue to move forward. Nearly half a mile ahead, they met a group of dog Rong people again, this time they were prepared, and shouted from afar: "The Nanzhao army will take Hong Guang here, who are the people in front?" ”

"Where is Hong Guangcheng, where is Hong Guangcheng?" But when he saw a man rushing forward, he shouted and asked.

"Who are you?"

"The soldiers and horses are talking about Qili Yu is also, where is Hong Guangcheng"

On the way to break through the siege, he was separated from Non Ruozan, and he found it very difficult to return, so he chose to bypass the fire and march towards Longwei Pass, which was guarded by soldiers and horses of Nanzhao, and it was so close that as long as he reached the pass, it meant safety. As a result, he met Hong Guangcheng halfway, and when he heard that he was from Nanzhao, the idea of escaping in Qiliyu's heart was suppressed, and it was replaced by a reversal of the battle.

It was the reversal, although the dog Rong was defeated, but on Qiliyu traveled all the way, he found that the real casualties were not many, and he mainly fled, and he collected four or five thousand men and horses along the way. At this time, the Tang army was newly victorious, and it was searching for and killing those fleeing dog soldiers, if it could get the Nanzhao fresh army to go to the rescue, even if it could not turn defeat into victory, at least it could take more people to escape.

"It turned out to be a soldier and horse envoy, and it was Hong Guangcheng." Seeing in the firelight that the other party was indeed a dog Rong person, Hong Guangcheng could only reluctantly step forward.

"Great, great" On Qili Yu urged the horse to come over, and Hong Guangcheng took two horses, he suddenly drew his knife and put it on Hong Guangcheng's neck

"What is this for?" Hong Guangcheng exclaimed.

"Today, in order to save the country, my soldiers of the country suffered a great defeat, and now on Ruozan Yu Shishang is caught in the thief soldiers, I must not save it" On Qili Yu gritted his teeth: "General, as long as you give the order, immediately rush to the rescue, I will not say a word, we are still fraternal allies, if not, then you are colluding with the Tang people, assassinating my Shangguo soldiers, I have no choice but to behead you first, and then go to find your king of Nanzhao"

Hong Guangcheng's face is like the color of the earth, these dogs are rude and demanding, but recently it has spread all over the Nanzhao, he knows that the other party can really do such a thing, and said helplessly: "Why do you need to do this, I waited out, it was to come to the rescue by the order of my king...... Please don't worry."

He secretly hated it in his heart, but he could only give an order and order the whole army to speed up again. He still didn't believe it, and motioned to his soldiers to hug him, and drove Hong Guangcheng's own soldiers outside.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the fire, he suddenly heard the sound of drums again, and then countless fireballs flew into the sky and rolled down from the sky, like thousands of meteors falling from the night, and smashed into the barbarian army

These days, the Tang army was building ships on the surface, but in fact it was building stone throwers, and one hundred and ten stone throwers bombarded at the same time, and the barbarian and Rong coalition forces were on the road of pre-guessing, so this wave of flints was both ruthless and accurate, and the barbarian army array was chaotic in an instant.

"Arrows, arrows" In fright, Hong Guangcheng shouted.

"Formation, stupid, formation" Qi Liyu shouted again: "Rush forward in formation, if you can't break the Tang people's stone thrower, there is only a dead end"

Hong Guangcheng suddenly woke up to the fact that he didn't know where the enemy was in the dark, and the archery effect was very poor, and what he really had to do was to hurry up and engage the Tang army. As long as the two sides are close to each other, the effect of artillery stones and bows and arrows will be greatly reduced, and it is impossible for the Tang people to ignore the enemy and me.

"Rush, rush, if you can't kill the Tang people, there is only one way to die" He is also a brave general among the barbarians, and after recognizing the situation, he suddenly shouted.

After the barbarians panicked, they also stirred up blood and bravery, howling and rushing into the darkness. They couldn't find the location of the Tang army, so they could only throw the flint in the direction of Fangcai.

This choice cannot be said to be wrong, to say the least, and after encountering two rounds of crossbow arrows, they finally rushed into the ranks of the Don army.

Ye Chang was in the dark, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. The improved Liaodong stone thrower was simple and easy to build, but its short range and slow speed were its weak points, so it only had time to shoot one round before being approached by the enemy

Moreover, the flint thrown was small and had weak lethality, so it did not achieve the desired results.

"Wang Yang'er" Ye Chang said sideways.

Wang Yang'er, who was dressed in armor, almost stood up straight on his horse: "Here you are"

"With your five hundred people, have you seen it, from the northeast, after getting the drum and trumpet from my side, penetrate into the thief army, and penetrate the thief army's formation, can you do it?"

"Ambassador, just rest assured" Wang Yang'er grinned, white teeth in the firelight, like a hungry tiger: "As long as I can kill a lot, there is nothing that can't be done"

"Okay, let's go," Ye Chang said.

Wang Yang'er led the cavalry forward, Ye Chang turned his face sideways again, and looked at Ye Ying: "With your five hundred people, how about blocking the thieves in front of that ridge?" ”

"Don't worry," Ye Ying shouted.

He has been practicing martial arts with Shanzhi for many years, and now although he is not as brave as Wang Yang'er and Shanzhi, he is also a rare fierce general, and this time he can go south with Ye Chang, which makes Ye An, Ye Ting and others envious.

After going down with 500 men, he did not delay, and rushed forward in the direction of the assault of the combined forces of dogs and barbarians. Under the light of the fire and the morning light, this group of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Tang Army was like a stream, and after some meandering, it finally turned into a waterfall and collided with a rock.

This is the most critical moment, Ye Chang's brows can't help but twist up, the terrain is limited, it is impossible to invest more troops in that place, but if the enemy's offensive cannot be stopped over there, the enemy army can approach the unprotected catapult and get out of the catapult position.

"That's the key to victory or defeat."

Looking at Ye Ying's figure and disappearing into the enemy army, Ye Chang's brows suddenly wrinkled even tighter, and after a while, seeing Ye Ying's figure revealed in a bloody color again, his brows loosened again.

After all, the troops were somewhat insufficient, and in just a few moments, one-fifth of the people wearing the clothes of the Tang Army had disappeared. Ye Chang looked left and right, after Wang Yang'er took away the cavalry and Ye Ying took away another five hundred people, there were only more than three hundred people left around him.

"Come forward and raise my banner." He ordered.

The banner embroidered with the words "Jiannan Soldiers and Horses Make Leaves" was raised high, and the banner moved forward, only two or three hundred steps away from the fiercest place of the fierce battle.

After a fierce battle in the middle of the night, the Tang army was already a little tired, Ye Chang's army flag arrived at the front, the morale of the army was lifted, the fatigue was relieved, the attack became more ferocious, and the arrogance of the enemy army was suddenly beaten down, and Ye Ying's originally somewhat wavering battle line was also stabilized.

On Qili Yu Commander was attacking fiercely, but seeing that the momentum ahead suddenly stagnated, the Tang army cheered in unison, knowing that there was a change on the battlefield, he stood up on the horse, raised his eyes and looked around, and saw Ye Chang's big banner.

"Ye Chang"

Although he didn't know Chinese characters, he only looked at the style of the big banner and knew that Lu Dao was the flag of the main general of the Tang Army. His heart was first chilled, then ecstatic.

At this time, they are in a disadvantageous situation, and they originally didn't know how to open the situation, but now they have a godsend!

"The main general of the Tang Army can still be on the front line, how can my generation be inferior?" He shouted to Hong Guangcheng: "General, how about an assault with me?" ”

Hong Guangcheng also knew that if he could enter at this time, he could break the siege of the Tang army, and if he was defeated, he would not hurt his vitality, and if he retreated, the whole army would be defeated, and the 20,000 barbarians who came out with him were afraid that not many would be able to escape back to Longwei Pass. He is also a veteran and decisive, nodding at the moment: "I'm first, assault"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took his own soldiers and rushed towards Ye Chang's side. On Qili Yu also followed, and the troops on both sides were more than 2,000.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chang sneered on his face: Sure enough, the other party took this opportunity as a lifesaver and grabbed it desperately.

He and his soldiers went up a hill, and they took up a formation on the mountain, and as soon as the barbarians and dogs arrived, they were shot down by a burst of crossbow arrows.

"Fight to the death" Hong Guang took advantage of the force, personally waved his knife, and beheaded a retreating barbarian.

The hillside was not suitable for horses to gallop, so all the barbarians dismounted and swarmed up the mountain again. Ye Chang's own soldiers used crossbows, which were very convenient for loading and shooting, so it was another round of arrow rain, and the barbarians fell in a row again. But this time, Hong Guangcheng personally supervised the force in the rear, the barbarians in front fell, and the barbarians behind stepped on the corpses, and then they were shot down again, and another group of barbarians burst on.

It didn't take long for the brute soldiers to be less than thirty steps away from Ye Chang, and the two sides were already close to each other

"Kill" Ye Chang himself also had a long-handled waist knife in his hand, shouted loudly, and stepped forward in person. The brave men who came with him from Liaodong around him, where would he really fight with the enemy, and when he saw him rushing forward, he overtook him one by one.

These dozens of people are the elite of the elite, as soon as they intervened, the barbarian attack was pressed again, and the crossbow arrows on both sides cut off the follow-up of the barbarians, and when Ye Chang swung his knife to cut down a wounded barbarian, the barbarians retreated again.

Before the Tang army had time to celebrate, he saw a rain of arrows rushing and shot back the Tang army that was chasing him. The Tang army's position was not yet stable, and the dog Rong people, who had retreated from the barbarians, attacked again.

"Ambassador, when Wang Yang'er is attacked," one of them shouted beside Ye Chang.

Ye Chang looked at the situation, shook his head and said, "It's not time yet, use the horn to give an order, and let the left wing move closer to me."

A sentry beside Ye Chang immediately blew the horn, this is Ye Chang's change to the military order, in addition to the very simple golden drum order in the past, he also uses different horn sounds to transmit slightly more complex orders on the local battlefield. At the same time as the horn sounded, the dog Rong people were already roaring and rushing halfway up the hill, no matter how quickly Ye Chang's own soldiers shot with crossbow arrows, they couldn't stop them from advancing.

Ye Chang raised the telescope and looked towards the place agreed with Wang Yang'er, Wang Yang'er's flag had already arrived at the agreed place.

Do you want to order it now?

Now that Wang Yang'er is ordered to assault, the offensive of the dog Rong and the barbarians will inevitably collapse, but then they will disperse and rush away, and the result of this battle is nothing more.

Thinking of this, Ye Chang looked at the left flank again, on the left flank, his army heard the horn's order and had already begun to come to his side for help. Ye Chang turned his head and ordered: "Let the stone thrower leave the stone thrower alone, come up and block this place first"

The two sides are entangled in one place, you have me and I have you, and the stone thrower is not very useful now. After the order, Ye Chang stepped forward again with his knife, the dog Rong was more fierce than the barbarians, the defensive formation laid by his personal guards was broken through by the other party, and the other party killed him less than ten steps away from him He rushed up with more than ten people, and after cutting down the two most ferocious dog Rong, at this time the soldiers on the left flank finally rushed over and attacked the dog Rong army from the side, although the dog Rong army did not collapse, but had to retreat slightly.
