    No matter what conspiracy Ye Chang has, at present, he does not have time to display it. Ziad does not want Yuan En's stupidity to ruin his plan. He needs to observe the true combat effectiveness of the Tang army under Ye Chang's command in a real fierce battle.  , instead of watching the Shiguo people and the Grolu people deal with themselves with care in a farce.  The armies in the river advanced noisily. The Grolu people were blocked by them. Halfway through their retreat, they had to be dragged towards the Tang army again.  "Ha" Seeing this scene, Li Siye laughed dumbly. He turned back to his subordinates: "My sons, are you afraid?" "What's so scary about a mob?" "Then kill them all and fall for the outside of Talas City.  "Brothers, take revenge." "Revenge, revenge, revenge." The Tang army roared, and the weapons in their hands made a loud noise, and the leaders of each team came out with Mo Dao.  "It's still the same, six-flower formation, six-flower formationthe Tang people didn't learn the lessons outside Talos City," Ziad thought with satisfaction.  Although the people of the Tang Dynasty formed a six-flower formation and killed the mobs of the river kingdoms, in Ziad's eyes, this six-flower formation was much worse than the battle formation they learned from Byzantium.  If that was the case, then he would still have full confidence in the decisive battle with the Tang Army tomorrow.  For the sergeants of the countries in the river, this Liuhua formation was an extremely terrifying impact formation. Under the leadership of the leaders of each team, the Tang army penetrated into the armies of the countries in the river like a meat grinder.  After advancing dozens of steps, the allied forces of the river countries blocked the Tang army with their numerical advantage.  Bows and arrows rained down from the top of the city, and there were bloody swords under the city.  Li Siye was the first to go forward. The Mo Dao in his hand was specially made and heavier than the ordinary Mo Dao. Only a person with such extraordinary strength like him could move like the wind.  The people of the countries in the river, whether they were ordinary soldiers or generals in armor, faced his long sword, they could not stop it alone, and they were either chopped to death or smashed to death.  "Shoot, shoot him, shoot them," Yuan En yelled wildly. He did not dare to step forward, but just roared from behind. His voice reached Li Siye's ears. Li Siye raised his head and glanced, vaguely recognizing the appearance of this man.  He roared and rushed towards him with his sword drawn.  The guards around Yuan En raised their bows and fired at random without distinguishing between friend and foe. The guards around Li Siye raised shields to protect him, covering his body. Even so, there were still a few arrows hanging on his armor.  Fortunately, he was protected by armor and lined with silk clothes. The barb on the arrow did not penetrate deep into his body, so it did not greatly affect Li Siye's battle.  "There are fewer troops" Li Siye was also a little tired at this time, he thought to himself.  But this is also impossible. The place outside the city is not vast. With a military formation of 5,000 people deployed here, it is already a bit small.  "Order, cavalry attack." On the city wall, Ye Chang noticed that the momentum of the Tang army's charge seemed to be weakening, and immediately gave the order.  This is already a stalemate, and he must use the cavalry as a reserve first, because this is not yet a decisive battle, so he can take advantage of as much advantage as possible.  The sound of drums at the city head suddenly stopped, replaced by the sound of horns. Following the horns, about five hundred cavalry appeared on the flanks of the coalition forces of the various countries in the river across the creek outside the city.  Ziad immediately noticed this small number of cavalry, because the equipment of this cavalry made him alert.  The horses ridden by these cavalry were slightly different from the horses he had seen before by the Tang army. They were taller and stronger. They looked like the good horses of Ba Khan.  It is said that in the legend of the Tang Dynasty, the horse of the man named Ba Khan was called the "Great Horse of Dawan", and there was even a sweat-blooded horse among them.  These Dawan horses are tall and strong, and are not inferior to the war horses ridden by the Byzantine knights.  "And now these five hundred knights look a bit like Byzantine knights.  They were all covered in heavy armor, and even their horses were covered in iron armor.  There are many weapons in their hands, and the one they are holding now is a machine crossbow. Ziad has already seen this kind of weapon. This short crossbow held in his hand and fired has a short range, but it can also carry out long-range strikes.  In addition to the short crossbows, the victory hooks on their horses were also hung with long spears called mashan by the Tang people. It was the main assault weapon of the Tang army's cavalry.  In addition, each knight has two crescent-shaped scimitars on his waist, and a small buckler is tied to his left arm.  The expenditure required for such a fully armed heavy cavalry is definitely not a small amount. Perhaps only the wealthy Tang Dynasty can easily prepare such a force.  "There are about five hundred cavalry. It seems that there are some changes. The cavalry is not placed behind their military formation, but outside the formation. During the battle, they take the opportunity to wander around and go around to Ye Chang, who is on our flank in the Tang Dynasty. Or absorb it.  After learning some lessons, it is indeed more difficult to deal with than Gao Xianzhi. However, this can only be used for the armies of the countries in the river. If we change our army, there will be no need for the Khorasan spirit.?, with the army in my hand, I can beat this small group of heavily armored knights to death.  " "Let them retreat, rest for the night, and see us tomorrow.  "Ziyad said: "Summon Yuan'en, he has no role here. Let him go back and organize food and grass for me. The battle with the Tang people seems to last for a while. This Ye Chang is more difficult to deal with than Gao Xianzhi.  " At this time, Ziad was truly determined to drive Ye Chang out of the Hezhong area. The Tang army showed its combat effectiveness in fighting him. If he did not take advantage of his own side to completely drive out the Tang army, he would have  After retreating, Ye Chang would inevitably seize Talas. Therefore, the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty must be severely damaged so that they would never dare to look back again. Ziad's order was very timely. The five hundred cavalry had just begun to cross the river and were stationed on the river bank.  When they formed their formation and prepared to charge, the five hundred cavalry originally faced the side of the river army, but as they shrank, the heavy cavalry began to charge.  When they were forty steps away from the enemy, they fired the crossbows in their hands, then put down the crossbows, grabbed the horses and clamped them tightly under their arms. Almost in the blink of an eye, they had rushed into the river.  In the army formation, Ziad looked towards the place where they rushed, and there was a big gap in the allied forces of the river countries, as if they had been stabbed diagonally. The heavy cavalry of the Tang Dynasty did not have the horses in their hands.  It took too long, and soon they abandoned their horses and used scimitars that were easier to swing. After ruthlessly cutting off a large piece of the coalition forces in the river, they then used their scimitars to kill them diagonally.  Come out. If he had given the order to retreat later, he would have lost more troops. Although the dead were all pagans in the river, Ziad did not feel bad at all, but he was not willing to let the Tang people be too arrogant.  Form a good formation and attack.  " He ordered to the Dashi headquarters. "With the shouts, the Dashi army headquarters began to advance forward, and the retreating coalition forces of the river countries separated from the two wings. Ziad glanced at the city of Shuijian. At this time, the young  General Tang, should you give up when you are ready? The real war will not begin until tomorrow. Of course, if the young general of the Tang Army does not understand what it means to give up when you are ready, you will also give him a painful and unforgettable lessonØ­ "The enemy  The army has retreated and we have the upper hand. Zhongcheng, do you want to rush out?  "At this time in the city, someone asked Ye Chang. "Ming Jin, withdraw the troops and let Li Siye come back. There is no need to pursue anymore.  "Ye Chang said: "Today's battle is even over here Next, it will be night.  "    "night?  " "Yes, at night." Ye Chang squinted his eyes and laughed. Li Siye heard the gong sound of troops withdrawing in the city. He was still not satisfied, but he did not dare to disobey the order, so he had to come back full of depression. The two armies broke away from contact, and the Tang army killed and wounded him.  They were all taken away, and Li Siye hurriedly came to see Ye Chang. "Zhongcheng, why don't you let the villain chase you? The villain will definitely defeat the big food army and avenge his shame." "You have done a very good job, look over there.  "Ye Chang pointed to the outside of the city. Standing on the top of the city, he could see further. Li Siye followed what Ye Chang expected and saw that a few miles away, the cannibals had formed their military formations.  If the Tang army pursues him in this vast land, he will definitely have to fight with the big cannibal. He has experienced this kind of struggle outside Talas City. Of course he knows that if this happens, even if he can win, the Tang army will suffer losses.  Very big. ¡°The big cannibal is prepared, but it¡¯s useless to chase him. We have another plan.  You take your subordinates to rest first. It won't be long before you are needed again.  " Li Siye did not dare to say anything, so he could only retreat quietly. If Ye Chang treated him like this when he first came to Anxi, he would definitely ignore Ye Chang, but it is different now. He and Gao Xianzhi suffered a tragic defeat.  In Ye Chang's eyes, especially after the disastrous defeat, he abandoned the army and fled and harmed friendly troops, which made him really unable to raise his head in front of Ye Chang. You must know that when they killed friendly troops and fled, Ye Chang led them.  With the army bucking the trend, he blocked the tidal attack of the Dashi Alliance, and even broke through the siege and rescued nearly 30,000 trapped soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. He walked down the city and passed by the streets. The streets were noisy and there were many craftsmen.  Li Siye and the soldiers were all stacking wood together. Li Siye took a look and felt something was strange, so he asked someone, "What are you doing?"  "Zhongcheng has ordered us to tie the wood into a fence and send it to the city tomorrow to serve as a barrier and parapet to prevent the cannibals from using the trebuchet." "Is this thing used to block the trebuchet?" Li Siye thought about it for a moment, maybe  There will be some use, but judging from the density of those wooden fences, they are more like wooden rafts than fences.  He shook his head. The behavior of Ye Zhongcheng was really hard to fathom.  "It looks like it's been a tough fight" Li Siye just left, and someone came over there with a flag. From the looks of it, he should be a big cannibal.  He was alone and slowly approached. The Tang Army's ranger flying outside was left behind.He went over and surrounded him. After a while, someone rushed back to the city and shouted under the city: "Zhongcheng, the envoy from the Dashi Army has come." "You still dare to send an envoy now?" Ye Chang was a little curious, and he chopped  Two big food envoys pretending to be people from the Stone Kingdom. It stands to reason that the big food people should know that he can't talk what he says, so why would he send envoys to die again?  "Let him speak in front of the city." Ye Chang said.  After a while, the envoy was brought to the city. He got off his horse, put his hand on his chest, and bowed to Ye Chang on the city.  "Osama has met the generals of the Tang Dynasty." This guy can speak Chinese quite fluently.  "Why are you here?" Ye Chang said: "Make it simple." "I came under the order of General Ziad. General Ziad asked me to tell you that although the positions of the two sides are not the same, Dashi and Datang  At least one thing they have in common is respect for the warriors. On the battlefield of Talas, the corpses left by the warriors of the Tang Dynasty were buried decently, and the injured were also treated properly. I hope that the Tang Dynasty can give them equal treatment.  Treat, if you can agree to this under the inspiration of the true God, we will send a team of two hundred people, without weapons, to the outside of Shujian City to treat the injured and transport the dead. " Ye Chang is quite a bit.  Not only he raised his eyebrows in surprise, but also the surrounding Tang Army generals had the same expression.  The request made by General Dashi was completely beyond their expectation.  Ye Chang pondered for a while, he even wanted to use these casualties of the coalition forces of various countries to train military doctors.  However, there will still be this kind of material anyway, so this time, just agree to the other party.  "Go back and tell General Ziad that the Tang Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness, and China is a country of etiquette. Since he treats each other with courtesy, we will respond in kind. He can send three hundred people, and our sergeants will protect their safety.  "Ye Chang said loudly: "But we will not return the prisoners." "My master will definitely thank you for your kindness." The Osama bowed again and saluted Ye Chang: "My master also said that I can see you today.  It is his honor to see your commanding skills and the warriors under his command. He is looking forward to competing with you on the front line tomorrow. "This is an open battle, but Ziad's intention is of course not that the two military commanders will fight one on one.  Indicates that tomorrow we will attack the city with all our strength.  To a certain extent, this is also a demonstration to Ye Chang and exerting pressure at the same time.  These big cannibals also play psychological warfare, but against Ye Chang, this method has no effect.  Ye Chang smiled slightly: "Did General Ziad really say that? Tell him too, we will meet soon." Osama saluted for the third time, then turned around and left on horseback. Ye Chang watched him go away and waited for him to finish.  When he saw a small point, he raised the telescope. In the lens of the telescope, Osama came to the foot of a hill, led his horse up the mountain, and then saluted in front of a group of bearded cannibals. One of them asked.  What is he talking about? He pointed to this side while answering. The bearded man was also looking this way. Ye Chang could clearly see the expression on his face, which was that the bearded man was Ziad. He was surprised that Ye Chang had agreed.  Naturally, another reason was that when he saw the city head built for taxation, he didn't know what reflected the sunlight, making it a bit dazzling when he looked at it.
