The cavalry of Nanzhao on both sides came up together, and the three generals fought for a while, and then rushed out of the encirclement and went to the enemy.

Huang Fu Lie killed from the oblique stab, dancing with a big copper hammer to fight Wu Zhongying, the two were equal, the copper hammer to the copper hammer, each intersection jumped out of a little spark, the shock made the arms of the two numb, almost unable to hold it, but the two were fighting more and more ruthlessly, eager to hit each other into meat cakes, but the skills were similar to each other for a while.

Nanting Xiao slapped Jiao Mengfan's horse with a knife and slashed several Tang generals and captains dismounted, Tang generals did not dare to come forward to fight, Jiang Yangying shouted, twisted the green dragon halberd to fight Nanting Jiao Mengfan, the two halberds came and went, fighting for fifty rounds, Jiao Mengfan gradually lost the enemy, at this time the Nanzhao cavalry was surrounded, Jiang Yangying had no choice but to abandon Jiao Mengfan, kill out of the siege, and turn back to rectify the soldiers and horses of the headquarters.

The Nanzhao soldiers were defeated for a long time a few days ago, and they couldn't vent, and they were extremely depressed, but this time they spit out their anger and killed them happily for a while, and the Nanzhao soldiers were unstoppable, and took advantage of the surprise attack, and the Tang soldiers were killed and retreated, and their arrogance was lost, and the corpses were all over the field.

Jiangnan West Road soldiers and horses were suddenly attacked, although the number of Nanzhao cavalry is small, but the soldiers of the Chinese army are scattered, it is rumored that the commander is in the middle, life and death are unknown, Daxu has been dumped again, the soldiers are frightened when they see this, the fighting spirit is scattered, the Nanzhao Nanting army attacked the Tang army camp, and the Tang army was like chopping melons and vegetables, the Tang army fled in embarrassment, and the army could not be formed.

He Yuzhi led more than 60 soldiers from his headquarters and Lu Peiye's soldiers and horses together with about 100 people, wanting to form the Sanshan Yueer Formation in the Ten Formations of the Tang Dynasty, but the number of people was too small to form a formation, so they could only form a circle formation first to resist the impact of the infantry of the Nanzhao Army.

He Yuzhi and Lu Peiye led more than a dozen brave Tang soldiers to rescue the Tang soldiers who were washed away. He Yuzhi made a monk to pass on the method of condensing the halberd to bravely kill the besieged Tang army, only to see that halberd, fast but not urgent, like snowflakes, falling leaves, ruthless and sophisticated, invincible. The Nanzhao army did not dare to advance too much, and the Tang army, which was saved, ordered it to join the round formation.

Not far from the round array, there is also a Tang general who is also gathering scattered soldiers, this general is the deputy general of Yongzhou, Zou Yueqi, seeing He Yuzhi and others forming a circle to resist, so he led the crowd to come to join him, and the rest of the single Tang soldiers and Tang generals saw that someone wanted to form a formation and also killed the generals to join.

This round formation became larger and larger, and soon more than 1,000 people were gathered, commanded by the deputy general He Yuzhi of Yuezhou, who transformed the circle formation into a three-mountain Yue'er formation, strengthened the ability to move in the formation, and constantly rescued the Tang army who was fighting alone, and replaced the dead defense with elastic resistance.

The Sanshan Yue'er Formation is a formation that the generals of Jiangnan West Road are accustomed to practicing and are extremely familiar with, so every soldier who joins can find a position that should be strengthened, making this formation more solid and difficult to break. Later, Jiang Yangying of Jiangzhou, Zheng Tengjiao of Hongzhou, Qiu Baotong of Qianzhou and Huo Zhao of Hengzhou also led their troops to join, making the formation even larger and more solid.

In addition, there are other Jiangnan West Road generals also formed several Sanshan Yue'er formations, ranging from thousands or thousands, scattered around the periphery of the Jiangnan West Road army, although they cannot be connected with each other, but the Tang Army of the South Road relied on these defensive formations, struggled to support, and resisted the impact of the Nanzhao soldiers and horses, so that the South Route Army would not be defeated by the whole army.

Due to the fierce resistance of He Yuzhi, Zou Yueqi, Lu Peiye and other Tang generals, the soldiers and horses of Jiangnan Xidao slowly recovered from the shock.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Xie Zhiwei and his deputy general Tong Zhongyan saw that the battle situation was still unfavorable to the Tang army, and they were afraid.

So just hard to get the stable situation of the war began to fall apart again, according to the existing strength can not hold such a long line of defense, suddenly the psychology of the soldiers and a great fear, the loss of Ju Xingyuan led the Daozhou soldiers to kill, Ju Xingyuan alone fought more than 20 cavalry of Nanzhao, the two sides around the killing, Ju Xingyuan showed his might to kill seven or eight people, the rest of the Nanzhao soldiers saw that he was brave, only to retreat in panic.

Hongzhou deputy generals Zheng Tengjiao and Li Quandao led all the soldiers to rush to the Nanzhao soldiers and horses to plug the gap, so as not to make the Jiangnan West Road front collapse, if the battle line is swept by the Nanzhao army, then the Jiangnan West Road will definitely be annihilated, only to be slaughtered.

Seeing that the battle had been fierce for three hours and had not seen Wang Xuan's reinforcements arrive, Ming Xiang was extremely angry in his heart, and saw that General Xie and Tong did not obey the order and led the army to retreat first, seeing that the defeat was decided, he assigned He Yu's palace to cover the retreat of the Tang soldiers, and he commanded the soldiers to shrink the battle line and slowly retreat to the Chinese army.

Zou Yueqi, Jiang Yangying and Huo Zhao each led more than 30 elite cavalry troops to walk around the formation, which is called the Three Mountains Formation, He Yuzhi and Lu Peiye stand in the full moon array to command, it is called the Yue'er Formation (if there is no risk of being surrounded, you can also do a half-moon formation to defend the enemy frontally), and the Sanshan Formation can cover the movement of the Yue'er Formation, so it is called the Sanshan Yue'er Formation.

The mystery of this array lies in the fact that it has both the defensive ability of the circular array and can move slowly, and the horsemen can retreat to the Yue'er formation if they are unfavorable in combat, and if the enemy has a flaw, the horsemen can also attack it, so it is a very flexible defensive formation, and it is also the best defensive formation in the ten formations of the Tang Dynasty.

The Three Mountains Formation was led by the fierce generals Zou Yueqi, Jiang Yangying and Huo Zhao to lead the elite horse army, or galloped back and forth, or walked around the formation. When the Nanzhao soldiers were killed, they were very brave, and the Nanzhao army did not dare to advance in this formation.

He Yuzhi and more than 20 generals on the left and right flanks led several Sanshan Yue'er formations ensured that the battle line of the Southern Route Army was not defeated, greatly reducing losses and guarding the back of the Southern Route Army, so that it slowly leaned towards the Chinese army.

The situation on the right flank of the Tang army was also not optimistic, because the Lingnan Road was also mixed with infantry and cavalry, but because its soldiers had been in battle for a long time, the Lingnan people were strong, there were many martial artists, and the commander of the Central Route Army, Li Hui, commanded properly, so the losses were few, and the battle line was barely held, and the whole army slowly leaned towards the Chinese army under the command of Li Hui.

The Chinese army was originally an important border town in Jiannan Province, and Shannan West Road was repeatedly called up to support the frontier war, so it was also a general elite soldier, and it was originally able to fight with the elite soldiers of Nanzhao, but due to the surprise attack of the enemy on both wings, the morale was weakened, so it could not win with superior forces.

The three armies of the Tang army, the left, and the right, approached each other to block the fierce offensive of the Nanzhao army, and the original number of Tang soldiers was more than the number of Nanzhao soldiers, and once they were assembled into a formation, it was difficult for the Nanzhao army to break through.

Wang Xuan of Qianzhong Dao led 10,000 soldiers and horses to finally rush to the north of the city, only to see dead corpses everywhere, internal organs all over the ground, severed limbs and stumps, covered with mountains and fields, the seriously injured moaned in a low voice, the lightly injured cried and shouted or crawled around on the ground, and the Nanzhao warriors who dealt with the battlefield slashed the wounded Tang soldiers one by one with their swords, leaving no one behind.
