    At this time, Nanzhao was running towards the battlefield with all his strength.  The road from Longweiguan to Hedong Prefecture was only more than thirty miles. Ge Luofeng told Hong Guangcheng that they did not need to participate in the melee at the fire scene, but instead took a detour to intercept and kill the retreating Tang army.  Ge Luofeng felt that since there were many dog ??soldiers and it was a surprise attack, since the shipyard was successfully set on fire, it meant that the Tang army was in chaos, so the Tang army would be defeated.  However, dogs, soldiers and jackals like to plunder. After capturing the Tang camp, they must be busy searching and may not be able to actively pursue the Tang army, which may give the Tang army a chance to rest.  He knew very well that if these 30,000 Shu soldiers could be killed, then the Tang Dynasty would no longer have troops suitable for fighting in the southwest. Although the soldiers transferred from the remaining towns were brave and elite, they were not suitable for the climate of the southwest and would be dead ends.  One piece.  Moreover, Ye Chang's step-by-step fighting method also frightened him, so he would never let Ye Chang go back alive to make a comeback.  After crossing the Black Dragon Bridge, the sound of the fire nearly twenty miles away became louder. Hong Guangcheng cursed and then urged the sergeant to run away again.  These barbarians are used to staying in the mountainous areas. Although at night, with half the light of the fire, they ran as fast as flying for more than ten miles, they arrived in just an hour. When they saw that they were only two or three miles away from the fire scene, they heard cries and shouts in front of them.  The footsteps are getting closer.  Hong Guang took advantage of the fact that he was in the middle of the army and came from the front to report that he had discovered the enemy. Before he could send his order back, he heard the sound of bowstrings and loud shouts of killing from the front.  After a while, someone ran over in panic: "General, general, no, it's a Quanrong." "What is a Quanrong?" "The ones we killed just now were Quanrong." Hong Guangcheng frowned.  He twisted: "Take me to see" Arriving at the short battlefield just now, there were more than ten battered corpses scattered on the ground. Judging from their clothes, they were indeed dog soldiers.  Hong Guangcheng's heart was suddenly filled with doubts. Why did the Quanrong people flee while crying? Could it be that on the other side of the fire the Quanrong people were defeated?  As soon as this thought came up, he was frightened: Although the Quanrong people had more troops, although the Quanrong people attacked at night, although the Quanrong people had the help of local barbarians their opponent was Ye Chang. The rumored Zhuge Kongming  The reincarnated General of the Tang Dynasty The barbarians really respected Kong Ming as a heavenly being, and this is still the case even after five hundred years.  Hong Guangcheng thought about the rumors in the army these days. Even Ge Luofeng heard about it and even wanted to build a temple for Marquis Wu in Taihe City to pray.  "Could it be that I fell into a trap?" He thought in his heart, but with Ge Luofeng's life on his back, he couldn't give up halfway, so he could only move on reluctantly.  Half a mile closer, they met another group of Quanrong people. This time they were prepared and shouted from a distance: "Nanzhao's army, General Hong Guang, is riding here. Who is in front?" "Hong Guang is riding here."  "Where is Hong Guangcheng?" But he saw one of the people coming forward and asked sharply.  "Who are you?" "The military envoy Lun Qili Yu is here, where is Hong Guang riding?" Lun Qiliyu got separated from Lun Ruozan on the way to break out of the siege, and he found that it was very difficult to return to Yu, so he chose to go around.  After passing the fire scene, head towards Longwei Pass - Longwei Pass is guarded by Nanzhao soldiers and horses, and it is so close that once you reach the pass, it means you are safe.  As a result, he met Hong Guangcheng on the way. Hearing that he was from Nanzhao, Lun Qiliyu suppressed the idea of ????escape and instead reversed the situation of the battle.  It was a reversal. Although Quanrong was defeated, Qiliyu found that the real number of casualties was not many as he traveled along the way. The main thing was to disperse. He gathered four to five thousand troops along the way.  At this time, the Tang army had a new victory and was searching and killing the fleeing Dog Rong soldiers. If Nanzhao's fresh troops could come to the rescue, even if they could not turn defeat into victory, at least they could help more people escape.  "It turned out to be a soldier and horse envoy, and this is Hong Guangcheng." Seeing in the firelight that the other party was indeed a Quanrong man, Hong Guangcheng could only reluctantly step forward.  "That's great, that's great." Lun Qiliyu urged his horse over and connected with Hong Guangcheng. He suddenly drew his sword and put it on Hong Guangcheng's neck. "What are the soldiers and horses doing?" Hong Guang  Chengda was shocked.  "Today, in order to save your country, our soldiers suffered a great defeat. Now Lun Ruozan, the censor, is still trapped among the thieves. We must rescue him." Lun Qiliyu gritted his teeth: "General, as long as you give the order, we will immediately  Rushing to the rescue, I said nothing, we are still brothers and allies. If not, then you are colluding with the Tang people to assassinate our soldiers and generals. I have no choice but to kill you first and then go to find your Nanzhao King." Hong  Guang Cheng's face was earth-colored, and these Quanrong people were arrogant, rude, and demanding. Recently, the news spread throughout Nanzhao. He knew that the other party could really do such a thing, so he said in desperation: "Why is this? I'll wait for you to come out."  He just came to the rescue according to the order of my kingplease don't worry about the soldiers and horses." He secretly hated it in his heart, but he could only give the order and order the whole army to speed up their march again.  Lun Qili Yuyu didn't believe it and signaled his soldiers to embrace him, but drove Hong Guangcheng's soldiers outside.  Seeing that we were getting closer and closer to the fire scene, we suddenly heard the sound of drums, and then countless fireballs flew into the sky and rolled down from the sky.It came down, like thousands of meteors falling from the night, slamming into the barbarian army. During these days, the Tang army was building ships on the surface, but in fact they were building trebuchets. Hundreds of trebuchets were being built at the same time.  bombardment, and the combined forces of the Barbarians and Rong were on the pre-expected path, so this wave of flints was hit hard and accurately, and the Barbarian army's array was instantly in chaos.  "Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow," Hong Guangcheng shouted in panic.  "Formation, idiot, formation!" Lun Qili Yu shouted again: "Formation and charging forward, if the Tang Dynasty's trebuchet cannot be destroyed, there is only one way to die." Hong Guangcheng suddenly woke up, and he didn't know what to do in the darkness.  Wherever the enemy is, the archery effect is extremely poor. What we really need to do is to quickly engage the Tang army.  As long as the two sides were in close combat, the effectiveness of artillery, stone, bows and arrows would be greatly reduced, and it was impossible for the Tang people to bombard the enemy regardless of ourselves.  "Charge, charge, if you can't kill the Tang people, you will die." He was also a brave general among the barbarians. After recognizing the situation, he immediately shouted.  After the barbarians panicked, they also aroused bloody courage and rushed into the darkness howling.  They couldn't find the location of the Tang army, so they had no choice but to head in the direction where the flint had been thrown.  This choice cannot be said to be wrong at least. After encountering two rounds of crossbows, they finally rushed into the Tang army.  Ye Chang could not help but feel a little regretful when he saw this scene in the dark.  Liaodong's improved trebuchet was simple and easy to build, but its short range and slow speed were its weaknesses. Therefore, it only had time to shoot once before it was approached by the enemy. Moreover, the flint thrown was small and had weak lethality, so it did not gain imagination.  results in victory.  "Wang Yang'er," Ye Chang said with his head tilted.  Wang Yang'er, who was wearing armor, stood up straight on his horse and said, "Here you are." "With five hundred of you, have you seen that, from the northeast, after receiving orders from my drums, they penetrated into the rebel army, and  Is it possible to penetrate the bandit army's formation? " "Ambassador, just don't worry." Wang Yanger grinned, his white teeth glowing in the firelight, like a hungry tiger: "As long as I can enjoy the killing, there is nothing.  It can't be done." "Well, let's go," Ye Chang said.  Wang Yanger led the cavalry forward, and Ye Chang turned his head and looked at Ye Ying: "How about we block the bandit soldiers in front of that field with five hundred of you?" "Don't worry," Ye Ying shouted.  He has practiced martial arts with Shan Zhi for many years. Although he is not as brave as Wang Yang'er and Shan Zhi, he is still a rare warrior. This time he can go south with Ye Chang, making Ye An, Ye Ting and others envious.  After taking five hundred people down, he did not delay and rushed forward in the direction of the assault of the Canu Rong and Barbarian coalition forces.  Under the light of the fire and the morning light, this group of soldiers wearing Tang army uniforms looked like a stream. After meandering for a while, it finally turned into a waterfall and collided with a rock.  This was the most critical moment, and Ye Chang could not help but frown. Due to the terrain limitations, it was impossible to invest more troops in that place, but if the enemy's offensive could not be contained there, the enemy would be able to approach the unprotected throw.  Stone machine, and escape from the trebuchet formation.  "The key to victory or defeat lies here." Looking at Ye Ying's figure disappearing among the enemy troops, Ye Chang frowned even more tightly. After a while, he saw Ye Ying's figure reappearing in the blood.  When he came out, his brows relaxed again.  After all, the military strength was somewhat insufficient. In just a moment, one-fifth of the people wearing Tang army clothes had disappeared.  Ye Chang looked around and saw that after Wang Yanger took away the cavalry and Ye Ying took away another 500 people, there were only more than 300 people left around him.  "Come forward and raise my flag." He ordered.  The big flag embroidered with the words "Jiannan Soldiers and Horses Envoy Ye" was raised high. The flag moved forward, only two or three hundred steps away from the fiercest battle. The surrounding Tang troops could be seen by the light of the morning light.  This big flag immediately cheered.  After a fierce battle in the middle of the night, the Tang army was already a little tired. When Ye Chang's flag arrived at the front, the morale of the army was boosted. The fatigue was relieved, and the attack became more fierce, knocking down the enemy's arrogance. Ye Yingchu was originally a little shaken.  The front line has also been stabilized.  On Qili Yu's army was attacking fiercely, but when they saw the momentum in front suddenly stalled, the Tang army cheered in unison, knowing that something had changed on the battlefield. He stood up on his horse, looked around, and saw Ye Chang's side.  Big flag.  Although "Ye Chang" didn't know Chinese characters, Lun Qiliyu just looked at the style of the big flag and knew it was the flag of the Tang Army's commander-in-chief.  He was shocked at first, and then ecstatic.  At this time, they were in an unfavorable situation. They didn't know how to open the situation, but now they had a God-given opportunity! "The general of the Tang Army can still visit the front line in person, how can we be inferior?" He shouted to Hong Guangcheng: "General, come with me.  "How about an assault?" Hong Guangcheng also knew that if he could advance at this time, he could break the siege of the Tang army. Even if he was defeated, his vitality would not be damaged. If he retreated, the whole army would be defeated, and the 20,000 barbarians who came out with him would probably not be many.  Able to escape back to Longwei Pass.  He is also a veteran with many years of experience and a decisive heart.He nodded: "I'm the first to attack." After saying this, he led his soldiers and rushed towards Ye Chang.  Lun Qiliyu also followed closely, with more than two thousand troops on both sides.  Seeing this scene, Ye Chang had a sneer on his face: Sure enough, the other party regarded this opportunity as a life-saving straw and grabbed it at all costs.  He and his soldiers went up to a hill and formed a formation on the mountain. As soon as the barbarian soldiers and dog soldiers arrived, dozens of them were shot down by a burst of crossbow arrows.  "Fight to the death," Hong Guang shouted fiercely, swung his sword in person and beheaded a retreating barbarian soldier.  The hillside was not suitable for galloping war horses, so all the barbarian soldiers dismounted and swarmed up the mountain again.  Ye Chang's soldiers all used continuous crossbows, which were very convenient to load and shoot. Therefore, there was another round of arrow rain, and the barbarians fell down in a row again.  But this time, Hong Guang took the opportunity to personally supervise the attack. The barbarians in front fell down, and the barbarians from behind stepped on the corpses. Then they were shot down again, and another group of barbarians rushed forward.  Not long after, the barbarian soldiers were less than thirty steps away from Ye Chang, and the two sides were in close combat. "Killing" Ye Chang himself had a long-handled waist knife in his hand, shouted harshly, and stepped forward in person.  The brave men who followed him from Liaodong around him would never allow him to fight the enemy in real hand-to-hand combat. Seeing him rushing forward, they all risked their lives and overtook him.  These dozens of people were the elite among the elite. As soon as they intervened, the barbarian offensive was suppressed again, and the crossbow arrows on both sides cut off the barbarian soldiers' follow-up. When Ye Chang slashed down an injured barbarian soldier with his sword,  The barbarian soldiers retreated again.  Before the "Dog Rongmen" Tang Army had time to celebrate, they saw a hail of arrows rushing towards them, shooting back the pursuing Tang Army.  Before the Tang army's position was stable, the Quanrong people who had retreated from the barbarians attacked again.  ¡°Ambassador, it¡¯s time for Wang Yanger to attack,¡± a person shouted next to Ye Chang.  Ye Chang looked at the situation, shook his head and said: "There is no time yet, use the trumpet to send an order, let the left wing come closer to me." A sentry next to Ye Chang immediately blew the trumpet. This was Ye Chang's change in the military order. In the past, it was very simple.  In addition to drums to convey orders, different trumpet sounds were used to convey slightly more complex orders on local battlefields. When the trumpet sound sounded, the Dog Rong people were already roaring halfway up the hill, even if Ye Chang's soldiers continued to attack.  No matter how fast he fired the crossbow, he could not stop their advance. Ye Chang raised his telescope and looked towards the place agreed with Wang Yang'er. Wang Yang'er's flag had already reached the agreed place. Do you want to give the order now?  With the attack, the offensive of the Quanrong and the Barbarians will inevitably collapse, but what follows is that they disperse and break away, and the result of this battle is nothing more than this. Thinking of this, Ye Chang looked to the left wing again. On the left wing, his own army heard.  The loudspeaker signaled that reinforcements were coming to his side. Ye Chang turned around and ordered: "Let the trebuchet side ignore the trebuchet. Come up and block this place first." The two sides are fighting in one place. Are you one of them?  Between me and you, the trebuchet is of little use now. After giving the order, Ye Chang stepped forward with his sword again. Quan Rong was more fierce than the barbarians. The defensive formation set up by his bodyguard was unexpectedly broken by the opponent.  When he was less than ten steps away from him, he rushed forward with more than ten people and cut down the two most ferocious Quanrong soldiers. At this time, the soldiers approaching on the left wing finally rushed over and attacked the Quanrong central army from the side.  Although they did not collapse, they had to retreat slightly.
