    It's already night.  At night on the plateau, the starry sky is exceptionally bright, and the cool breath permeates the surroundings, bringing a chill that penetrates into the bone marrow.  Ye Chang woke up suddenly, as if shouts and howls were still ringing in his ears.  He rubbed his eyes, cursed in a low voice, and then looked around.  Even though I was covered with a cotton coat, I still felt the chill at the top of the city. The surrounding fire was dimming, and the soldiers patrolling back and forth with their weapons made very weak sounds.  This made Ye Chang realize that he was still on the battlefield.  The embers of Bairi City have not been completely extinguished, turning into a faint smoke outside the city, and further away, there are dots of firelight, which is the camp of the Quanrong people.  Soon after being frustrated and retreating, the Quanrong people made a comeback. Just as Ye Chang expected, they no longer tried to persuade them to surrender this time, but launched a fierce attack.  However, facing more than a hundred large and small hanging slaves of all kinds on the city, and facing more than a thousand hand crossbows, the Dog Rong people's attack only turned into corpses on the ground, and the results achieved only caused casualties to the defenders.  Ye Chang estimated that there should be more than 300 casualties among the dog soldiers, while the defenders had more than 20 casualties. This ratio is considered normal.  However, Quanrong's attack could only be regarded as a tentative attack, and the real attack should be on the next day. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Last time, Quanrong didn¡¯t use any siege equipment other than a simple ladder. I¡¯m afraid it will be different the next day.  Maybe we should go out of the city at night and attack?  This idea was rejected by Ye Chang as soon as it came up. After all, he lacked actual combat experience. If the night attack failed, the little reputation and trust accumulated during the day would be wasted.  "Changran, are you awake?" At this moment, he heard someone next to him ask.  It is high fitness.  "Mr. Gao didn't sleep?" "How could I sleep? This situation is really my fault." Gao Shi sighed softly. He had been holding back these words during the day and had no chance to say them to Ye Chang, but  Now, in the dead of night, it seemed that it was possible to say. Ye Chang was a little surprised: "What does it have to do with you?" "If it weren't for me, Changran, you wouldn't have come up with this idea of ??taking risks" Gao Shi's self-blame is not without  The reason is that he and Ye Chang reached a tacit understanding. He offered advice to Huangfu Weiming, which was also his stepping stone.  Originally, with this contribution of advice, he wanted to join Huangfu Weiming's staff, and Huangfu Weiming would recommend him an official position.  If not, why would Ye Chang risk his own life and come up with such a strategy? "What Mr. Gao said is wrong, are we friends?" Ye Chang chuckled twice: "Besides, I am not selfish in this matter.  I can go back earlier if I have broken Quanrong. It has been three months since then. I estimate that even if I go back, I will have to wait until next spring There are a lot of pots and jars in my house" "Changran, don't say this.  I feel sorry for you. If you are just trying to escape, there are plenty of ways to escape. Why take such risks?" Gao Shi sat closer to him and said, "I usually feel that you are young and arrogant, but you are quite frivolous.  After getting close to him, I know that apart from your bad temper, everything else is done beforehand. How can you change your arrangements for your family's foundation? " "Okay, Mr. Gao, do you think I am a friend?" Do you understand?  He insisted on thinking this way, Ye Chang said.  "That's natural." "Then I also want to be Gao Gong's friend. What is Gao Gong's ambition in life?" "Lifting the three-foot sword will make contributions to the world." "In this case, there is an opportunity to help my friend realize his ambition in life."  "It's just asking me to take a small risk, how could I not do it?" Ye Chang smiled sincerely. Gao Shi would never forget this night in his life. Ye Chang's eyes were like stars, facing him from the surrounded city.  What he said: "If one day, I only need you to take a little risk, but it can help me realize my life's ambition, will you do it?" "Of course I will do it." "That's okay, I'm just doing what friends would do.  However, Mr. Gao, after this incident, I have another understanding of Huangfu Weiming. He has a ruthless mind and is afraid that he is not the master of Ming. " "Yes, I think so too but I have no intention of taking him as my master. He is here.  The border has been closed for a long time, and it should be transferred back to the center soon. "At this point, the two of them know the same thing. After this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, Huangfu Weiming will definitely join the court, while Gao Shi will find a way to stay.  At the border, with his intelligence, he would naturally have few opportunities to make meritorious deeds.  The two talked and both felt happy. Gao Shi was a poet after all, so he wanted to recite a poem. Ye Chang was about to copy a poem for emergency response. At this moment, he realized that something seemed to have happened in Quanrong's camp in the distance.  Generally things started to get messy.  "Huangfu Weiming is here," he was overjoyed: "Night attack?" Looking at the situation, it seemed like someone had launched a night attack on the Quanrong.  But Ye Chang didn't know that Quan Rong had become much more cautious after his volley of crossbow bolts. They deployed reconnaissance cavalry widely, not only to guard against his night attack, but also to be extremely wary of the sudden appearance of Huangfu Weiming's army.  But this timeThe night attack came out of nowhere because it was not a large army that launched the night attack, but just one person.  Their reconnaissance cavalry could spot a large group of people, but it was difficult to notice Nan Jiyun. Even if they did, they would only treat it as a reconnaissance cavalry from the Tang Dynasty.  Nan Jiyun already had eight war horses at this time. He led the eight horses to a high place and looked down. He saw only dots of the Canu Rong Company camp, which looked like a galaxy, surrounding Huacheng City.  There was silence in the meantime, with occasional horse neighing, but military discipline was strict.  "I don't know how many people there are." Nan Jiyun looked around intently, but his heart did not waver at all.  "Such a military camp is heavily guarded. It will be difficult to break through." He frowned and thought for a while, then looked at what he had seized. His family was poor and he learned horse riding from others after arriving in Luoyang. Riding was not originally a skill.  Very good, but after being recruited by Ye Chang, he made up for it for a while.  Therefore, he loves horses very much. Along the way, after shooting the Quan Rong scouts and cavalry and seizing their horses, he was not willing to give up. But at this time, he wanted to break the formation and it was impossible to carry these horses with him.  After thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered what Ye Chang once said.  Nan Jiyun has not received any formal education. Although he is proficient in martial arts, he does not know much about the art of war, and he does not even know much about literacy.  After learning about this situation, Ye Chang felt very sorry for him and advised him to learn how to read and read. On the way here, he also specially talked to him based on Sun Wu's art of war.  Ye Chang¡¯s lectures were interspersed with a large number of strategies, including the Tian Dan Fire Ox Strategy.  Nan Jiyun looked at his horses. Since it was impossible to lead them into the city, let's make full use of them.  He strung the reins of the seven horses together, then found wet grass and tied it behind the horses' tails.  Use a fire sickle to light the grass. Because the grass is very wet, the grass emits a lot of smoke.  The horses snorted uneasily and kept scratching the ground. Nan Jiyun patted one of them and said, "I'm sorry." After saying that, he slapped the horse's buttocks hard with his horse's hammer, and then went to beat it.  The rest of the cordovan.  The horses were frightened and immediately neighed and rushed forward. The seven horses ran wildly at the same time. They were tied to each other by the reins and could not separate, so they could only rush down the hillside.  Nan Jiyun played a trick here. These seven horses did not rush directly to the Quanrong camp. In that case, they would be killed and exposed in a short time.  The horses galloped forward in a manner that was nearly parallel to the Quanrong camp. Within two miles, they would maintain a certain distance from the Quanrong camp.  Although Quanrong has set up camp, it is the habit of nomadic people to set up camp before settling down.  They were also extremely vigilant. As soon as the hoofbeats sounded here, they were alerted, and someone immediately came out to intercept them.  But in the darkness, there were only gray shadows and smoke, and no one could be seen at all. The only way for the dog soldiers was to fire thousands of arrows at once.  However, the distance kept by the horse was beyond the reach of arrows, and the wet grass pushed by the horse's tail, with thick smoke and dots of fire, dragged it all the way without losing momentum, which made Inu Rong unable to do anything at all.  Determine how many people are coming.  As the horse neighed, Nan Jiyun tightened the silk ribbon binding his armor, quietly urged the horse, and headed in another direction.  His horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth, so there was not much noise, especially the seven horses that made a huge noise, which shocked the Quanrong camp into a commotion.  Therefore, when Nan Jiyun approached, no one of them noticed him.  "Who?" the man asked in Canine Rong language.  Nan Jiyun had no idea what the other person was asking, so he responded vaguely and pinched the horse's belly.  Previously, the horse was just trotting slowly, but when he pinched it, it immediately accelerated and rushed out like an arrow from a string.  At the same time, the bowstring in Nan Jiyun's hand buzzed.  In the darkness, the torch illuminated his sight. The dog soldier who held the torch high to see him clearly fell down and the torch fell to the ground. At the same time, Nan Jiyun's horse rushed into the camp.  He put it away and replaced it with the horse. He stood up, the horse stretched out like a poisonous snake and picked up a dog soldier.  Quanrong's attention was attracted by the seven galloping horses. Nan Jiyun rushed into them, holding a spear in both hands, and penetrated into Quanrong's camp like cutting through waves.  The bloodshed wherever he went made Quanrong even more confused as they were already unable to determine where the enemy was.  The Quanrong people thought that they must have set off such a momentum for a night attack, but they didn't know that Nan Jiyun's purpose was just to pass through their siege and enter Huacheng City.  Therefore, when Nan Jiyun broke through the siege, they realized that there was only one enemy.  "Catch him and kill him" For the dog soldiers, this is a great shame and humiliation. The blow is almost as bad as that of a high-ranking figure who was half-killed by a crossbow during the day. Hundreds of dog soldiers are chasing after him, with countless arrows and wasps.  It usually flies up into the sky, and then falls like raindrops behind Nan Jiyun.  If it weren't for the armor on his body, Nan Jiyun would have turned into a hedgehog. Even so, when he was about a hundred steps away from the city, the warrior underneath himWith a sad hiss, he finally fell to the ground.  Nan Jiyun rolled over, threw off the stirrup, and broke through the siege. Most of his energy had been consumed. At this moment, unprecedented fatigue made it almost difficult for him to stand up.  "Kill, kill, kill Tang Gou" There were shouts and shouts from behind. Nan Jiyun couldn't understand what these noisy sounds meant, but he could guess it.  He finally felt a trace of fear in his heart, but he never doubted the correctness of his breakout and return.  "Help me" he shouted.  At this time, on the city, Ye Chang leaned over and tried his best to look out, while secretly cursing himself in his heart for not getting the binoculars.  In fact, even if you have a telescope, it is of little use in such a night.  "It doesn't look like a large group of people are making a surprise attack." Gao Shi said from the side.  "Huangfu Weiming, what the hell is this guy doing?" Ye Chang also asked.  Then he vaguely heard some sound below, because the sound from Quanrong was too loud, which covered the sound so that he could not hear it clearly.  He turned around and asked, "Did you hear anything?" "Help me, Ye Canjun, help me." Ye Chang's voice was so loud that Nan Jiyun heard it and shouted.  But he fought fiercely for a long time, without even taking a sip of water. His throat was sore, and he tried his best, but he couldn't make much sound.  "Pig nest? Is it the Quan Rong scolding us?" Gao Shi also vaguely heard a sound, half-guessing.  "The sound seems not far away, let the crossbowmen be ready," Ye Chang said.  As soon as he heard that he was about to use a crossbow, Nan Jiyun got the strength from nowhere and shouted: "It's me, Nan Ba, help me." He struggled to walk, and Quan Rong behind him was a cavalryman, so between these few words, Quan Rong  It was barely thirty steps away from him.  While the horse was galloping, thirty steps was just a matter of a moment. At this moment, Ye Chang finally recognized Nan Jiyun's voice, and said with surprise and joy: "It's Nan Ba ??- a crossbowman, shooting at sixty steps away."  The tinkling sound of strings was continuous, and Nan Jiyun felt as if hundreds of wasps were flying over his head. Then, screams and cries of pain were heard from behind him, as well as the sound of the hooves of the chasing horses.  So a meal.  He summoned up his last strength and rushed to the trench in two or three steps. There was no water in the trench, but it was full of thorn blades. While he was hesitating, he started to lower the suspension bridge.  The suspension bridge was only half-opened, and the Quanrong soldiers, who had been temporarily blocked by crossbows, pressed forward again. They also saw this as an opportunity and wanted to seize the opportunity to rush into the city.  Ye Chang sternly ordered the crossbowmen not to stop shooting, and then shouted to Nan Jiyun: "Jump, jump." Before the suspension bridge was completely lowered, Nan Jiyun jumped with all his strength and threw himself on the suspension bridge.  Seeing that he had already climbed onto the suspension bridge, Ye Chang immediately ordered the soldiers to winch up the suspension bridge.  Quan Rong, who was chasing Nan Jiyun, could only fire arrows at the suspension bridge, but was shot back by waves of crossbow arrows in the city.  Nan Jiyun huddled behind the suspension bridge, panting and laughing.  Today, I came out of the formation and killed really happily. Seeing the dog soldiers retreating, a few torches were thrown down, illuminating Nan Jiyun's face. Ye Chang said down: "Nan Ba, are you okay?" "It's okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.  "Put the hanging basket up and pull him up," Ye Chang said again.  After a while, a hanging basket was put down. Nan Jiyun adjusted his things and found that he had even thrown away the horse. The only thing left was a bow, and he shot all the arrows in the quiver.  Obtained from purity.  He wanted to climb up the hanging basket, but felt that his hands and feet were weak and could not move at all. He then said bitterly: "Someone help me I have no strength." The hanging basket was pulled up again, and after a while, a person was put down.  Come.  Nan Jiyun lay half-lying and watched, and was startled when he realized that it was Ye Changshi who came down: "Ye Canjun, how did you come down?" "After the siege at night, of course I want to come and see our Zhao Zilong of the Tang Dynasty." Ye  Chang Chang was shocked when he saw several arrows stuck in his body, but seeing that he was in good spirits and seeing that these arrows were not critical, he immediately laughed.  Nan Jiyun suddenly felt happy.
