Duan Xiushi's analysis was really not bad, and after a day of silence, Dou Zhongjie came to see Ye Chang again with admiration.

He really sent someone to inquire and asked why the troops were withdrawn, and I said that the Tang Dynasty had already known that they were here, because the troops were insufficient, so they built a city to defend the city and fight. He didn't suspect it, and made an appointment with me, if Datang closed the city and insisted on it, he wanted me to open the door at night, and if Datang fought in the field under the city, then I would attack Datang in the back. Fire at night, smoke by day"

"Okay" Hearing the news, even Ye Chang couldn't help but smash his fist on the slap excitedly.

It is impossible to make the opponent act roughly according to his own plan, and it is already a great advantage.

Another day passed, about to determine that the Tang army was preparing for a decisive battle under the tax construction city, the Great Food army started again, after this attack, they advanced very fast, early in the morning to pull out the camp, in the morning the scouts have arrived under the tax construction city. The scouts on both sides fought a few times, and there were casualties among each other, and then the Tang army also came out of the tax construction city, apparently, preparing to fight the Great Food outside the city again.

At noon, the main force of Shi Guo and the Grolu army arrived, they were not in a hurry to attack the city, and Yuan En acted cautiously, so he first chose a place to set up camp, and at the same time sent an envoy to see Ye Chang.

This made Ye Chang a little surprised, seeing that the big war was imminent, this prince of Shi Yuan'en, even dared to send a messenger

"Let him come to me." Ye Chang ordered.

The envoy who came brought two entourages, and when he saw Ye Chang, he did not salute, and said very arrogantly: "That person is the enemy of our Shi Kingdom, and he slandered in front of the Tang Emperor, causing the two countries to meet each other. Now, by the grace of the true God, the Great Eclipse Kingdom has sent reinforcements and has defeated you. For the sake of the previous good friendship between Shiguo and Datang, as long as you hand over the Dou Zhongjie of Bahanna and withdraw from the Green Ridge ......"

"Chopped." When Ye Chang heard this, he waved his hand.

As soon as this order was given, the envoys of the Shi Kingdom, even the generals and officials of the Tang Dynasty were all stunned, and only Shanzhi and Wang Yang'er laughed.

They have fought a lot of battles with Ye Chang, and they know that Ye Chang has a hobby of cutting off the head of the messenger, whether it is in the northeast or in Yunnan, as long as the messenger who comes does not say a word to Ye Chang, Ye Chang will definitely cut off his head.

"Ah...... Didn't you Datang say that the two countries will fight each other, and they will not kill them? The messenger who was forked by the samurai also panicked at this time: "Why kill me, I am a messenger, why kill me"

"The two countries are fighting each other? If you come politely, it will naturally not be killed, but if you try to run to humiliate Datang, you will only be greeted with knives and guns" Ye Chang laughed: "All cut off, throw your head back"

"Zhongcheng...... That's not big, is it? Duan Xiushi said on the side.

Ye Chang looked around, most of the generals were a little unimpressed, and he smiled: "Do you think it's wrong? Such a country of villains is afraid of power but not virtue, their plan is very simple, that is, they feel that if they make a big fuss, the Tang Dynasty will definitely double the reward to appease them for the face of the Heavenly Empire and the harmony of the prosperous world. In the future, you will have to be alone, and today I am here to set a rule for you, if you encounter such thieves, kill them first

When the generals heard him say this, their hearts were awe-inspiring, Ye Chang was lenient, and it was rare for him to give such a strict order, but once it was given, no one dared to despise it.

"Slowly, slowly" Just as the three messengers were about to be pushed out and beheaded, one of them suddenly shouted

The envoy of the Stone Kingdom also shouted: "They are the envoys of the Great Food, you dare to kill the envoys of the Great Food, are you not afraid that your captives will also be killed?" ”

The generals in the camp were surprised, but Ye Chang smiled: "I have long known that there is something wrong with the two of them, looking at their appearance, not only do they not look like entourage, but they seem to be masters......"

A great emissary broke free from the shackles of the warriors and stepped forward: "We have been commanded by Ziad, the great conqueror, the sword of the true god, and the governor of China......"

"I don't need to translate his words, let me think about it, these miscellaneous people who don't know what generosity is, what they say is nothing more than their crazy words." Without waiting for the messenger to finish speaking, Ye Chang waved his hand, he couldn't understand the big eater, the big cannibal spoke Tocharian language, but he didn't understand it either, the interpreter around him who spoke this language wanted to translate it to him, but he directly refused: "Cut it." ”

This time, there was no more accident, and the three messengers cursed and intimidated wildly, but they still could not escape death. When the three first achievements were displayed in front of Ye Chang, Ye Chang ordered to throw his head back into the Shi Guojun.

After the head was thrown out of the country, Yuan En was furious and sent the Grolu people to attack first, and the Grolu people were not stupid, they were shot by the Tang army's bow and crossbow, and then retreated, leaving only more than 20 corpses.

The two sides were at a stalemate outside the city, and the countries of the river, Tocharo, and the Great Food Honjin successively arrived at the city of Shuijian, and Ziyad summoned Yuan En to ask, "Where is my messenger?" ”

Those two big cannibals were indeed the envoys he sent, and he was quite curious about Ye Chang, so he deliberately sent someone to pretend to be the entourage of the envoy of the Shi Kingdom, wanting to observe Ye Chang directly.

"Governor, they were killed, the barbarian Tang people killed them directly, what happened, I don't know what happened." Yuan En hung his head and said.

He was extremely satisfied with this matter in his heart, in this way, Datang and Da Shi had no room for compromise even after the last one, Ziad and Ye Chang, unless one side was completely defeated, the war would continue.

When Ziyad heard the news, "these barbarians who do not believe in the true God" were furious: "I will take off their heads as well, and let the blood wash away their sins."

"General, in fact, this can also see what kind of character that Tang Guo General is." Yuan En said gloomily.

"Oh?"

"Savage, brutal, arrogant, and the impulsiveness of youth...... So you see, he put the army outside the tax construction city, so he dared to try to stop the army after the fiasco, I know, you are not ready for a full-scale war with the Tang Dynasty, but if you can't teach this arrogant young man a heavy lesson, just beat him up, you say, what will a young man of his character do? ”

Hearing Yuan'en's poisonous snake spit out the letter in his ear, Ziad felt a little disgusted in his heart, but at this time, he still looked at Yuan'en intently.

"What will you do?"

"Of course, he cried and begged the adults in the family to give him his anger" Yuan En said loudly: "His father-in-law is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, think about it, his father-in-law will organize a larger army, and ...... when the big food is not ready"

"Enough, you're not a good lobbyist." Ziad suddenly pulled out his scimitar and put it on Yuanen's neck: "Don't want to instruct me, Yuanen, don't forget, as a believer in the true God, I am your master, not the other way around."

There is no contradiction between the Great Eclipse and the Transnational States, because the Transnational States have not yet truly accepted the religion of the Great Eclipse, so the Great Eclipse imposes heavy taxes in this area, extorts excessively, and extorts excessively. At this time, the Tang Dynasty did not regard the East as their main goal, and their most important energy was still spent on the struggle with the Byzantine Empire. Ziad looked down on these people in the river in his heart, whether they were on the side of the Tang Dynasty or on the side of the black-clothed food.

"Yes" Yuan En knelt down, trembling and looking in awe. But he hung his head, hiding the resentful look in his eyes.

Datang is not a good thing, and Dashi is not a good thing, and it is impossible for Shiguo, which is sandwiched between these two superpowers, to support it for a long time. If the Stone Kingdom is to be destroyed, then let the World Realm and the Stone Kingdom be destroyed together

Although he no longer spoke, with his own calculations in his heart, Ziad squinted his eyes and looked in the southeast direction, the Tang army was in battle under the tax construction city, from the formation point of view, there was no difference from the Tang army outside the city of Talas last time, but Ziad still felt a little different.

Cavalry, in this Tang army, there is not a single cavalry.

It was entirely armor-clad infantry, numbering about four to five thousand, divided into four formations, three in the front and one in the rear. Because the outside of the city leading to the west side of the tax city is not spacious, these four military formations have blocked the road.

In this way, these Tang troops could get support from the city walls, but the invaders could not directly threaten the city walls.

Ziad thought for a moment, then looked back at the sky.

It was a sunny day, and it was already time for the sun to turn westward, and the sun was shining from above the sky.

"Ah......" Ziad estimated the time, and then said to Yuan En: "Get up, let your soldiers, and the Grolu people, prepare to attack, and I will let the countries of the river support you." ”

Yuan En replied in a low voice, and Ziad slowed down his voice: "Don't worry, I don't want you to attack the city directly, you just need to clear the Tang army outside the city." They have only five thousand men at most, drive them into the city, and then storm the city again tomorrow"

"What about the Tang army at the head of the city?"

"Hurry up, Sunshine will help you deal with them"

Ziade's words were incomprehensible at first, but after a while, it dawned on him.

The Tang army on the city wall can attack them is nothing more than bows and arrows, and with their backs to the sun, the dazzling sunlight can ⊥ Tang army can't open their eyes, for bows and arrows, they can't even open their eyes, where can they talk about accuracy

And not only the head of the city, but also the Tang army outside the city also faces west, and the sunlight will also affect their line of sight. The impact of life-and-death battles on the battlefield is often fatal, just as a wind and sand can ⊥turn a battle that should be evenly matched into a one-sided pursuit.

"Yes, I'm going to organize an attack" Yuan En thought of this opportunity, his spirit suddenly perked, and then he turned away.

"General, we, what about us?" Behind Ziad, the general of the Great Food, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, came up

"Let these cunning wall grasses consume the strength of the Tang people, we ...... It will only be dispatched at the time of the decisive battle."

The sound of the horn sounded in the sky above the Great Food Alliance, this sound alarmed the people in the city, Ye Chang walked up to the city wall, looked at the enemy army in the west, and saw that they were mobilizing, as if they were preparing to attack.

"I still can't hold it back." Duan Xiushi whispered beside him.

"The sun is so dazzling." Li Sheng grabbed the bow and muttered.

This sentence reached Ye Chang's ears, he squinted his eyes, looked at the scorching sun in the sky, and found that the sun was shining in front of Tang Jun, and his heart suddenly sank.

"Sunshine...... I almost forgot about this."

Although the sunshine may not decide the entire battle situation, facing the sunshine will definitely cause greater losses to the Tang army. Ye Chang didn't have a way to cover the sun, but he had a way to make the two sides basically return to the same starting line.

"Bring up all the shields," he ordered loudly.

Originally, there were many shields at the head of the city, and with his order, the soldiers at the head of the city raised their shields one after another. The armaments of the Tang Dynasty are very well made, and these iron shields are like the bright light armor on their bodies, which are polished very smooth.

"Reflect the sunlight to the front of the enemy line," Ye Chang shouted.

At this time, the enemy army had already begun to attack, and the two troops rushed from the left and right flanks to the Tang army's troops arrayed outside, flying arrows like locusts, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Under the diffuse of both sides, waves of blood rose in the formations of the two armies. At first, the charge of the Grolu people was very smooth, and the crossbowmen in the Tang army formation always fired inaccurately. But when the two armies were about to take over, they suddenly felt that there was a white expanse in front of them, and they couldn't see anything clearly in an instant.

Seeing this scene from a high place, Ziyad frowned slightly: "This young general of the Tang State is not easy to deal with. ”

It wasn't the first time the thought had come to him.

"Kill, kill"

Yuan En was not aware of this subtle change on the battlefield, and he was thrilled by the charge of the Grolu, but he did not think that he would let the Grolo cavalry attack the enemy's strong position, right—he was not good at commanding battles, and he was more suitable for shuttling between nations than this, and provoking battles between countries with his incorruptible tongue.

Therefore, he intuitively felt that there would be no problem for the Grolu people to attack the Tang army, which was full of infantry, on horseback.

The Grolu people also have their own plans, they betrayed the Tang Dynasty, and now they are the first object of hatred of the Tang Army, so it is possible for other tribal countries to reconcile with the Tang Dynasty in this war, but it is absolutely impossible for them. The purpose of his betrayal is also to hope that Datang and Da Shi can lose both, so that they can control the land of Broken Leaf River and become the overlord of Green Ridge again.

Therefore, although they were under the command of Yuanen, they actually did not take this prince of Shi, who lacked the talent for war, in their eyes - the king of Shiguo had two heads and vices, and a mere prince was nothing.

Their attack was originally intended to be unable to do anything, but when they rushed to the front of the formation, the sunlight reflected from the city made them suddenly unable to see anything in front of them.

When they came to their senses, the Tang army had already moved.

"Rush to Kill"

Li Siye drank almost word by word.

The five thousand people outside the city are now under his command, and Ye Chang told him very clearly that he needs to make meritorious contributions.

With his roar, the Tang army's battle formation advanced and collided with the Grolo people.

Stimulated by the sun, the Grolu and the horses shouted, or stood up, or stopped, and the armored infantry rushed into the light cavalry, and what awaited them was to be divided and swallowed

Seeing this, the chiefs of the Grolu tribes did not wait for the order from the rear, and directly led the Grolu light cavalry to both sides, wanting to circle back to their own battle formation.

And at this time, Ziad crossed Yuanen and ordered directly.

"The States of the River, Assault"
