    "Qinghai is covered by long clouds and covered with snow-capped mountains. The isolated city looks at Yumen Pass in the distance. The yellow sands wear golden armor for a hundred battles. If Loulan is not destroyed, it will never be returned" Outside Hongji City, Dahua County, Kuozhou, Tang Dynasty, the Tang army in fur coats and heavy armor sang a song, their horses  Hanging around their necks are the first achievements of the Quanrong people. In addition to the horses they ride, each person also leads one or two captured horses.  This Hongji City is under the jurisdiction of Jiuqu, Hexi Province. At the beginning, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sent Princess Jincheng to get married. Yang Ju, the governor of Shanzhou, an official who had no shame and no regard for the overall situation of the country, was bribed by the Tibetan people.  This piece of fertile land is for Princess Jincheng Tang Mu - Princess Jincheng must have such a big body, and it is natural to use this place to bathe in this land that is close to a state in the Tang Dynasty. The person bathing in this river source is not the poor Princess Jincheng, but the war horses of the Quanrong people.  with leather boots.  The Dog Rong people who were originally like flies stumbling in front of the invisible door entered the house and directly threatened the seven states of Liang, Gan, Sha and Gua.  Although Yang Ju later committed suicide due to the incident, the disaster continued until Heyou never had peace again.  The Heyuan army envoy Wang rarely laughed on his horse. Seeing his sons returning victorious, his heart was filled with joy.  "Ambassador, you have achieved quite a lot today." The general next to him came over and said with a smile.  "There are too few of these lowly dogs." Wang Jin said, stroking his beard.  He has a handsome appearance and a stalwart husband. He has been serving as the military envoy of Heyuan for some time.  Among the nearby armies, because the Heyuan Army directly faced the Quanrong offensive, it had the largest number of troops before the Lintao Army moved in. At its peak, there were 14,000 to 5,000 soldiers and more than 600 war horses. In fact, the number of troops was often not enough.  , and the number of war horses is often many.  The reason is that there is a good horse farm nearby.  Wang Rao looked at the surrounding hillsides as green as lake water, the blue sky, the white clouds, and the cattle, horses and sheep scattered in the wild, and he couldn't help but want to sing loudly.  He somewhat understood why those Quanrong people, both men and women, had developed the habit of singing in this wilderness.  "Let's go back to the city. Quanrong is just a few spies, which is not enough." Wang Nan ordered, and all the soldiers burst into laughter.  However, Wang Ruolan knew in his heart that the Tang Dynasty and the Quanrong people were currently in a stalemate, attacking and defending each other, but the Quanrong side had the greater initiative.  Every autumn when the wheat is ripe, the dog soldiers will come out in large numbers to cut off the wheat that they, the soldiers, have planted in the fields. However, in most cases, they do not dare to come out to fight.  There is no road in the nine bends. The place where people walk is the road.  When they were about two miles away from Hongji City, they unexpectedly discovered a group of people.  Wang rarely squinted his eyes and looked at the people coming. They were more than twenty riders. In the eyes of a veteran like him, their riding skills were really poor.  Even the horses they ride on can only be regarded as rogue horses and are not suitable for battlefields at all.  The dozen or so riders were headed by the four in the middle. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be scholars from the mainland.  Wang Nan did not look down on scholars. This was the Tang Dynasty, when scholars carried swords and killed people in anger. His superior, Huangfu Wei, was known as a good general during the Ming Dynasty, but he was also a scholar.  He even envied those scholars in his heart. The so-called generals and prime ministers, when they reach the frontier, they are good generals, and when they return to the center, they are famous and prime ministers. This is what a man wants in his life.  But at this time, the appearance of several scholars here still made Wang Nan be wary.  "Ask who it is, if it's a spy from the Quanrong people" Wang Nan smiled grimly.  What they hate most is the spies who lead the dog soldiers to invade. Without such spies, how could the foreign invaders invade? Several soldiers were overjoyed and rushed over immediately.  "Whether they are spies or not, as long as they come forward, they will inevitably be exploited. These scholars look like they have some money. The brothers can make a small fortune by guarding this miserable place.  Wang Rao looked at his soldiers approaching. He was very arrogant and arrogant at first, but after a few words of response, his soldiers became a little panicked. He didn't know what he said and ran back in a panic.  "What's going on?" Wang rarely asked displeasedly.  "The person who came here claimed to be Cheng Wu Lang, Zhe Chongfu Bing Cao joined the army, and was ordered to come here to counsel the military affairs." He was an official. I couldn't tell, but it's no wonder. If he wasn't an official under orders, who would be full and full?  Are you suffering here?  It's just a Zhechongfu soldier Cao Shenjun. What is he doing here You know, the 11th Army here is almost all recruited soldiers. They are like the so-called "lazy cavalry" in the central government. There are no soldiers deported. He  What kind of military affairs are you here to counsel?  Wang Nannan was the military envoy from Heyuan, and he was considered a senior general here. Naturally, he would not take a small soldier Cao into his heart. He immediately said: "Let him come to see me." After a while, the group was brought to Wang Nannan.  .  Wang Rao took a look at them. The members of this group were very complicated, and there was also a tall and ugly monk among them.  However, the four scholar-looking people have extraordinary looks, either handsome and graceful, or elegant.  Seeing them like this, Wang Nan didn't dare to be rude, but just raised aHe lowered his chin and said, "I wonder who is the contractor who was transferred here?" Then he saw the youngest of the four people stepping forward and said, "Ye Chang pays homage to the general." He bowed deeply to Wang Lan, and Wang  He rarely accepted the gift, and then laughed: "For such a young man, this place is not an easy place to live." Seeing Ye Chang's age and appearance, he completely thought that Ye Chang, a son of a wealthy family in the capital, would come here.  People like this are not uncommon in border areas because of their meritorious service, but they usually live in relatively peaceful borders and would never come here. "It seems that there are no high-ranking officials named Ye here."  It's better.  "Ye Chang said sincerely. "Although he was prepared, he still suffered from altitude sickness as soon as he set foot on the plateau. He was still fine. Cen Shen, the youngest, had the most severe altitude sickness and couldn't get off the bed for two days.  Everyone rested for two days, which allowed him to regain his breath. Only now did he have some energy and be able to appreciate the surrounding scenery. "Haha, if you come here knowing that you are going to have a hard time, then Ye Canjun is asking for trouble.  .  " "No" While Ye Chang was talking, suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance. He had no reaction, but Wang Ruolan immediately shut up and sat up straight on the horse: "Array" Follow Wang Ruoer.  There were fifty cavalry and two hundred infantry who came out, originally gathering together to laugh and watch the fun, but Wang Rao gave an order, and the two hundred and fifty people immediately started to move. This was the first time Ye Chang saw the big crowd.  Compared with the actions of the Tang border troops in the military camp of Luoyang City, these border troops were not only more powerful, but also moved quickly. From the time Wang Nan gave the order to when they were in formation, it would never have taken more than three minutes in another life.  A military formation was lined up in front of him. There were twenty cavalrymen on each side. In the front were armored men holding long swords, and behind them were archers wearing leather armor and holding crossbows. The formation was on a gentle slope nearby.  Go up, with your back to Guan Gaogang, facing the direction of the sound of horse hooves. Ye Chang and everyone looked at each other, especially those who followed him. Wang Jinwan glanced at everyone: "Ye Canjun, please hurry up.  Stay away and don't rush into the military formation.  " After he finished speaking, he retreated into the military formation. At this time, Ye Chang and others also saw figures in the distance. About a mile away from them, first more than ten riders appeared, and then dozens more  Riding, hundreds of riding, the last thing I saw was a thousand riding. At this time, Ye Chang and others still didn't understand: the enemy was attacking. Ye Chang never expected that before he entered Hongji City when he first came to the front, Quan Rong would attack in a small scale.  "Retreat" Ye Chang had been stabbed several times and had experience in life and death. He shouted at the moment. He originally wanted to ride his horse and leave first, but then he thought about it, but felt guilty: If it weren't for him.  , Li Bai, Gao Shi and Cen Shen should be drinking and feasting in Luoyang City at this time. How could they come to this frontier place and face such strange dangers? Therefore, he pulled out his waist knife, pointed it at Li Bai and said: "Sir, sir  Retreat and lead the people behind." "Ha" Li Bai laughed and pulled out his sword, squinting with long eyes: "In terms of skill, Bai is better than a young kid like you." Gao Shi and Cen Shen also took out their weapons,  These scholars of the Tang Dynasty were not the helpless people of later generations. They traveled around the world with swords, joined the army, or avenged others. How could there be any who retreated without fighting? Ye Chang couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, he didn't  He retreated first because he had a guilty conscience, but Li Bai and others refused to retreat, which is true courage. "The thief is not close yet, so retreat slowly. There are officers and soldiers here, and the thief will not dare to pursue him in a big way."  " Gao Shi said at this time. " He spent some time on the art of war. At this time, he saw that if they blindly joined Wang Duryodhana's officers and soldiers in an attempt to take shelter from the other side, both sides would only be surrounded by dog ??soldiers. On the contrary,  They retreated slowly, looking for a steep and high place to defend themselves. The other party would only send a small group of people to chase them, but they did not dare to bypass Wang Nandi's troops in a big way. Otherwise, Wang Nandi's troops would attack their rear, Ye Changcai thought.  He was panicking, but now he calmed down a little. Hearing Gao Shi's words, he also believed it. He looked around, and then he went to a cliff about half a mile away and said: "Let's retreat up here." This cliff is about ten meters above the ground.  It is ten feet high, and there are roads in the front and back to go up, but if you want to go around to the back road, you must pass in front of the cliff, and the road is narrow, which is convenient for defense. Gao Shi nodded and said: "That's right, this cliff is very good." They and his party.  In addition to the four people, there are also Shanzhi, Nanba, Ye Ying, Ye Ting and others, a total of more than 20 people who originally brought some supplies, but now they have abandoned them, and more than 20 people are riding towards them.  He retreated slowly. Ye Chang looked back as he retreated, and saw that although there were only a thousand or so horsemen, their momentum was overwhelming. In comparison, the more than two hundred Tang troops were just like a small piece of land.  small reefShi, the waves would engulf it with just one tap. With more than 200 troops, most of them infantry, how dare you fight in the wild with Quan Rong?  The Quan Rong troops were all light cavalry and came very quickly. However, when they arrived in front of Wang Nan's army, they stopped and the momentum of the charge was instantly stopped.  They did not dare to attack directly. Using light cavalry to attack armored soldiers, especially those who were on guard, would be asking for death.  But the Quan Rong Qingqi did not stay for too long. Just when Ye Chang felt relieved, its main force began to outflank the Tang army, trying to surround the Tang army. And a branch, about thirty cavalry, shouted to Ye Chang.  Bian chased him.  They probably also saw that Ye Chang's side was not a veteran Tang army, but a soft persimmon. Killing Ye Chang's side would at least shake the morale of the Tang army.  Wang Rao frowned.  He told Ye Chang and others to leave quickly. If Ye Chang had reacted at that time, he would have lost all his weight and ran away. Because of his restraint, Quan Rong would not dare to pursue them with all their strength, or have a chance to escape.  "But Ye Chang and others retreated slowly. This seemed to be steady, but in fact it was the end of their own life. "General?" asked an officer next to him.  "It can't be saved." Wang Rao shook his head.  If we go to save him at this time, the formation will be in chaos, and the dogs, soldiers and Qingqi will have an opportunity to take advantage of them.  Moreover, it was too late to save people with infantry. When he used cavalry to save people, he only had fifty cavalry in hand. How could he save them?  As for the dog soldiers surrounding him, Wang Nan never felt that these mere thousand people could really trap him.  Life and death are determined by fate, wealth is in the sky. This young official came to Kuozhou by unknown route, but he never expected to encounter a battle on the first day and lose his life - this can only  Said it was his misfortune.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????.  Ye Chang looked back from time to time, and couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw this.  "Nan Ba" he said loudly.  "Yes" Nan Jiyun was also excited at this time.  He held the bow in his hand, closed his right eye slightly, opened his left eye wide, and raised the bow.  But I felt that my palms were soaked with sweat and a little slippery.  Although he learned some skills, he prided himself on his ability in bow and arrow and horse fighting. He shot many people in the legs outside Luoyang City.  But this was the first time he actually entered the battle formation, and the enemy he encountered was several times his own. This made him inevitably nervous, and his hands slipped a little. When the first arrow was shot, the dog soldier who was chasing the closest fell on the horse's side.  But he found that the arrow flew past him more than ten feet away.  "It's a group of mutton sheep." Quan Rong was immediately overjoyed. At this distance, his shooting skills are so rough, what else is there to be afraid of?  When Ye Chang saw the arrow hit the target, he felt frustrated: Why was Nan Ba's magic shot not working at this time? Immediately he realized that Nan Jiyun was nervous. After all, he was a human being, not without emotions.  Emotional puppets.  "Just treat them as pigs and sheep, just treat them as targets," Ye Chang shouted.  Nan Jiyun ignored it. The arrow failed, which made him feel ashamed and angry instead of nervous and fearful. The second arrow was already on the string.  There is a ring on his finger to protect it.  Then he let go, the bowstring popped out, and the arrow was launched.  The sharp arrow clusters roared straight towards the shouting dog soldiers.  After only half a breath, the dog soldier covered his mouth in shock, and the man flew backwards from the horse, and was caught in the stirrup and dragged back.  Nan Jiyun¡¯s arrow shot from his mouth and penetrated straight into his brain
