    Ye Chang frowned slightly.  A few days ago, three hundred steps would indeed be the limit of what could be shot, but now it is different.  After a while, Tuyuhun reached a place about three hundred steps away, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Hongji City has been captured. Huangfu Weiming was able to capture it without any help. You, a small Hualong City, only has 1,500 soldiers, so why not hurry up?"  Surrender, and when the army attacks the city, you will surely be defeated." Ye Chang came to a winch crossbow and patted the soldier responsible for aiming: "Wait a moment, someone will come and bring a piece of silk." After bringing the piece of silk,  Ye Chang picked up a pen and wrote some words on it, then tied it to the end of the winch crossbow, and then said: "Shoot it out." The spear-like crossbow arrow quickly flew out. Tuyuhun was shouting loudly when he saw a crossbow flying towards him.  After retreating, he realized that the crossbow shot farther, so he regained his composure and ran over to take a look, only to see that there was a ribbon tied to the crossbow with writing on it, but he didn't understand what was written on it. Ye Chang said this.  The pretty face was made for the blind man to read. ¡°What¡¯s written on it?  "He took the silk ribbon back. Someone from the team of dog soldiers came to take it and handed it to a few guys dressed as Han people. Ye Chang sneered: Sure enough, in any era, there are always leaders who are willing to join foreigners.  Beside him, Yang Jinghui looked at Ye Chang suspiciously, a little worried about what was written on the ribbon. Ye Chang ignored him and said to the soldiers who were aiming the winch crossbows: "See what you just took.  Is it made of silk? That guy is a high-ranking officer of the Quanrong. Wait a moment and aim at him." All the soldiers nodded, with excitement on their faces. One person couldn't help but said: "Don't worry, someone who has joined the army will teach us these days.  Positioning, as long as he comes within our shooting range, he will be able to hit." "Well, now we just lure him to our predetermined target point.  "Ye Chang also smiled. "In the past few days, an important task of Ye Chang and the craftsmen is to standardize the crossbow arrows and strings used in all winch crossbows - not only the length and size are exactly the same, but even the weight is accurate.  There is almost no difference. Then the soldiers on the city shoot dozens of arrows every day, aiming at the target point mentioned by Ye Chang. "This is just waiting for the rabbit. How can the Quan Rong officer get to that target point?"  "Yang Jinghui is still a little worried. "That's why I have to write that ribbon. I said that the Tuyuhun people are soft-spoken and capricious. Their words cannot be trusted. Only the leaders of the Quanrong army come to guarantee our safety can we be willing to do so.  Dedicate the city.  " "But, sure enough, they are here." Yang Jinghui felt that Ye Chang still took it for granted. Even if the leader of Quanrong was deceived and came forward to shout, how could he stand at Ye Chang's preset target? But soon, he understood Ye Chang  Therefore, people's habit is to stand higher when shouting on the city, and the highest point in front of the city is Ye Chang's preset target.  The winch crossbows were all aimed at this target point. There was a special mark on the mountain of the winch crossbow. As long as this mark covered the high rock in the cross-shaped field of vision, then the arrow would be fired ten times.  Among them, five to six were able to hit. The group of Quanrong nobles stepped onto the execution platform set for them. The expressions on their faces were relaxed and slightly excited, probably because they felt that the news brought by the Tuyuhun people was indeed true.  Yes, a eunuch with no eggs and a scholar who has never been on a real battlefield. The army they brought has little combat effectiveness. "Three, two" Ye Chang began to count down and shouted.  , Tuyuhun next to him translated for him, but what they said was not paid attention to at the top of the city. Everyone's attention was focused on Ye Chang's voice. "Fang" followed the order, and the twelve strong men waved.  The sledgehammer in his hand knocked the wedge away, and the string of the winch crossbow suddenly popped out, launching the crossbow arrow. "Let you barbarians taste the power of basic ballistics." Ye Chang roared out the suppressed crossbow in his heart.  The arrows came through the air, and the Tang army at the head of the city shifted their attention from Ye Chang to these guys who drew shallow arcs in the air. They saw them flying to the highest point, and then quickly descending, and the distance between them became closer and closer.  It will eventually be taken in one place. The dog soldiers on the boulder outside the city didn't understand what was going on at first. They were already in a mess. They were dodging one after another, but the crossbow arrows were flying very fast, and only a few of them were on the edge.  The person jumped away in time, and the rest of the people were skewered by the flying crossbow arrows. There were twelve crossbow arrows, four of which hit the target, and those who missed also gained something. They penetrated into the canine army, at least  After three companies penetrated several people, the remaining force was exhausted. Suddenly, the Quanrong camp was in chaos. "How is this possible? How is this possible? Why can the winch crossbow of the Tang Dynasty hit this place?"  " If one shot hit, it was a coincidence, but four shots hit, and they were hit four hundred steps away. Quanrong didn't understand. This was definitely an intentional move by the Tang people. But this was completely beyond their expectation. Previously  Although the winch crossbow of the Tang Dynasty could shoot up to 700However, after reaching this extreme distance, the crossbow bolt cannot aim at all. The only effective shot is within 300 steps, and it is only effective against larger troops huddled together.  ¡° But now, it¡¯s far and accurate Of course they don¡¯t know that Ye Chang has improved the winch crossbow, changing from one bow to two bows, and changing the winding method from man and animal power to pull the winch directly, to a pulley block.  In order to complete these improvements these eight days, Ye Chang racked his brains. He felt that he had never been so diligent in this life.  Ye Chang's efforts did bear fruit. The four hit crossbow arrows eliminated most of the top brass of the dog army.  The soldiers and civilians in the city could see this scene clearly, and they all cheered with joy.  Corresponding to their cheers, there was howling ghosts and wolves in the Dog Rong army formation.  Chaos swept the entire army in an instant. Facing the enhanced version of the winch crossbow, Quanrong showed great fear.  Why Quanrong is so eager for the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty is simply because these craftsmen can make powerful weapons and armors, and can create exquisite and valuable goods.  For a long time, the craftsmen at this time - the skilled workers in another life have not received the attention they deserve. This can be said to be one of the key reasons why China has missed time and time again and left other civilizations far behind. "Kaicheng, attack  "Ye Chang ordered again.  This is a good opportunity. The Quanrong nobles suffered huge losses and their positions were in chaos. If there were enough cavalry at this time, Ye Chang even felt that the outcome could be decided in one battle.  But he didn't have many cavalry in his hands. All in all, there were only more than 300 cavalry, and the main force was infantry.  Therefore, after the gates of Hualong City were opened, what emerged one after another were infantrymen wearing Mingguang armor and holding Mo swords.  This time Ye Chang invested his capital, and six hundred soldiers came out and formed a formation under the city.  "It's a pity that it was his first time to command such a battle and he didn't dare to take risks. These soldiers were all stored in the city. By the time they set up their formations, the dogs and soldiers had already withdrawn and were almost invisible.  If not, these Mo Dao soldiers would have been outside the city at first, and they would have launched a massive attack when the Quan Rong army was in chaos. Even if they could not catch up with their main force, they would have forced the Quan Rong army to abandon their baggage and flee.  This made Ye Chang feel a little unhappy, but the soldiers and civilians in the city cheered.  With only twelve crossbow bolts, he repelled the dog soldiers and severely wounded his nobles, without losing a single soldier.  How can such a result not make people happy? "Ye Chang, you are indeed both civil and military, a real celebrity, a real celebrity." Ye Chang transferred the six hundred soldiers back and passed on the order. Over there, Ling Cheng was already in high spirits.  .  Originally, he was frightened by the army of Quanrong, but looking at it now, it was nothing more than that. He suddenly became more arrogant, and he was very eager to try. He felt that he could command such an easy victory.  Ye Chang looked at his face and immediately understood what he was thinking, secretly shouting that something was wrong.  Why did I forget the talent attributes of this guy who was cheating on his teammate, and dragged him to Hualong City? Although he added some troops, if he tried to dictate military affairs, wouldn't he become the teammate he cheated on?  Thinking of this, Ye Chang suddenly said with a bitter look on his face: "Mr. Bian, I just reluctantly managed to scare away the Quan Rong. The Quan Rong is so powerful that they will definitely come back. If they come again this time, they will not send anyone to persuade them to surrender. It must be  A bloody battle. I am just a countryman and have never commanded a battle. Since this matter involves the Duke¡¯s wealth, I really don¡¯t dare to take the responsibility. Please ask the Duke to hire someone else" These eunuchs are all psychological.  Among the twisted people, Bian Lingcheng is the leader. If Ye Chang holds on to the military power, Bian Lingcheng will have to take it away.  But now that Ye Chang took the initiative to return the command to him and seemed to be evading it, Bian Lingcheng suddenly became suspicious again.  Ye Chang, who was doing well, just won a victory, why did he shirk it again in the blink of an eye?  He looked at Ye Chang suspiciously and found that Ye Chang's face was really full of bitterness.  "Aren't you a good commander?" Bian Lingcheng said.  "I'm really scared, it was just a fluke." Ye Chang sighed.  "Ye Canjun, we are aware of your abilities. Just go ahead and do it. Only then will you be able to defeat Quanrong for the first time, and later will you be able to defeat Quanrong for the second time. We are optimistic about you." Bian Lingcheng thought about it for a while.  I also find it very difficult.  If he had enough troops, he would not hesitate to take control of the general, and then personally command, and obtain a victory that he considered natural. Then he would leave Huangfu Weiming and Ye Chang aside and return to Chang'an to offer prisoners and claim credit.  But now the difference in military strength is too big. Although Bian Lingcheng is greedy for merit, he also knows that under such circumstances, it is impossible to win with his ability.  " In this case, just hand over the command to Ye Chang, wait until things go wrong, then take back the power, and force the sergeants in the city to escort him to break out of the encirclement and escape.  In this way, if he wins, the credit will be his, and if he loses, the responsibility will be Ye Chang's.  "Since Mr. Bian said sothen I will reluctantly give it another try. However, Mr. Bian, please remember that if anything goes wrong, Mr. Bian, don't blame me."Ye Cheng laughed sharply and pretended to trust him. Ye Chang was willing to give in to him, but his heart drifted to Nan Jiyun.  He still has the confidence to defend Hualong City, but to defeat Quanrong, he can only count on Nan Jiyun to bring reinforcements.  No matter how Huangfu Weiming wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, but Nan Jiyun arrived in Hongji City to ask for help, he couldn't shirk it anymore Nan Jiyun didn't know what Ye Chang was thinking at this time. All he wanted to do was to rush to Hongji City as soon as possible and ask for help.  Huangfu Weiming asked for help.  He has an arrogant temperament, but he also knows that asking for help this time may not go well.  Therefore, he secretly made up his mind to go to Wang Rao first and ask Wang Rao for advice.  He took two horses with him and shot two canine scouts on the way. One person and four horses took turns to ride. In just half a day, he rushed from Hualong to Hongji.  The sky was still bright at this time, and he looked at the head of Hongji City from a distance. The flag of the Tang Dynasty was waving, and there seemed to be more people on the city than usual. He urged his horse forward, and someone from a distance shouted and asked, but he saw that he was only alone, and there was no one there.  Really shoot him with a crossbow.  When he reached the city gate, he shouted: "Open the door, open the door, there is an urgent military situation." A head stuck out from the city and looked at him: "Isn't this Nan Ba?" Nan Jiyun saw that he knew him  He was overjoyed and immediately raised his hands and said: "I have an urgent military situation and want to go to the city to report it. Please make it a convenience." "Urgent military situation?"  "The man hesitated for a moment. But at this time, another person poked his head out and said impatiently: "Doctor Huangfu has an order. Within three days, entry and exit in the city are prohibited. Nanba, if you have any military information, come back in three days.  Report it.  "    "What?  " Nan Jiyun was stunned. Three days Who knows whether Hualong City can survive for three days under the attack of dog soldiers ten times larger than itself. "The people in the city definitely don't dare to joke about the emergency military situation. He said that it is  Huangfu Weiming's order was really Huangfu Weiming's order. How could he ask for help in this situation? When he thought of this, Nan Jiyun shouted loudly: "I won't enter the city Can anyone please deliver the message for me, Quan Rong?"  A large-scale invasion of Hualong City, and now Hualong City is under siege. Ambassador Bian and others are eagerly waiting for Dr. Huangfu to rescue the siege. "He originally wanted to ask Wang rare to intercede, but now Huangfu Weiming has clearly blocked this road. In this case,  He was willing to go all out, even if it meant making things worse. He originally thought that the shouting would cause chaos in the city, but he found that the few soldiers who had stretched out their heads had retracted their heads at this time.  Ignoring Nan Jiyun was surprised and shouted a few more times, but there was still no response from the city. He was furious, holding his bow in his hand, looking at the big flag embroidered with the word "Huangfu" over there, and raised it  The bow fired. The flag fell in response to the string, and screams came from the city. Nan Jiyun pointed at the city and yelled: "Huangfu Weiming, you are a heartless rat. You are jealous of the wise and capable, and you want to kill you with a knife."  Remember, today you made Ye join the army, and someone will look for you tomorrow." After scolding him, he turned his horse and turned away. The cold wind blew in his face, and the hot blood that surged up became cold. Nan Jiyun suddenly felt something strange:  When I first met Ye Chang in Luoyang, didn't I think he was a villain and didn't want to make friends with him? Why did she just dare to scold that guy in Jiedu for him? I stayed with him for a little longer. I don't know.  Unconsciously, he was influenced by him and regarded him as someone close to him It was just to repay his kindness to his family. Nan Jiyun defended himself in this way, and then smiled bitterly. Next, his only way is to fight back.  In Hualong City, die with that guy.
