    When Ziad was being embraced by his men and running wildly, a small meeting was being held outside Talos City, dozens of miles away.  "Is that so?" Wei Boyu asked finally. Although he was asking, he was not really asking for his opinion.  "Wei Langjun has talked about it to this point, why not? Wei Langjun has confidence in Ye Zhongcheng, don't we have confidence? He can fall out with Gao Xianzhi to save our defeated soldiers, so how can he give up on us?  "Soldiers with heavy responsibilities? No need to say more, Mr. Wei Lang." "That's good, there are not many of us. Although there are only eight hundred here, you see, there is a prisoner camp over there. There are tens of thousands of them there."  Our people, not far from the prisoner-of-war camp, is the supply camp. Gao Xianzhi, a prodigal, threw away all our military supplies and had them taken away by the cannibals. We divided our troops into two groups and attacked the prisoner-of-war camp together.  Seize the supply camp along the way and re-arm our people with these military supplies. In this way, we will have nearly 10,000 people at our disposal." "The dog thief from the Stone Kingdom who was captured just now also said that there are only two to three hundred soldiers left in Talos City. Even Qing Qing  Zhuang was also recruited to transport military supplies and guard prisoners. After rescuing our people, the next step was to capture the city of Talas. However, in order to prevent accidents, we sent more than 30 people in advance, pretending to be barbarians from the north, and entered Talas.  When chaos breaks out here, we will find a way to seize the west gate. After seizing the city, we will then defend the city and rush to transport military supplies from outside the city. As long as we can transport 20% of the military supplies, the ten thousand of us will be able to do so.  We can hold Talas for a month, and then we still have to worry about Ye Zhongcheng not coming to join us?¡± ¡°Exactly¡± Wei Boyu naturally couldn¡¯t make up his mind for such a major matter, so several military leaders held a small meeting to discuss everything.  To put it bluntly.  Until this time, they still had firm confidence in Datang's victory, especially Ye Chang. They knew that he was not someone who despised the lives of soldiers. As long as everyone could capture Talas City and hold on to it, Ye Chang would definitely come to rescue the siege.  After the discussion was settled, they began to work separately. Wei Boyu led his own people to attack the prison camp. He had many Hu people in his hands, so he ordered these Hu people to pretend to be barbarians in the river and escort the Han people to the prison camp.  At this time, the news of the defeat of the Dashi Army had not yet come. Talos was immersed in the joy of the victory and could not help but feel a little careless. Wei Boyu and others entered the camp. They were not awake yet, and then they drew out their short blades.  After slashing and killing, he first occupied an exit of the prisoner camp, and then distributed the weapons he brought to the Tang army prisoners who reacted.  The prisoners of the Tang Army were originally depressed, but suddenly they realized that someone was coming to save them, and they suddenly became excited.  The cannibals left only about 500 people to guard the captives. The craftsmen among the captives were imprisoned in Talas City. The more than 5,000 people imprisoned here were ordinary soldiers. In the blink of an eye, the situation between the two sides changed.  The cannibals became prisoners, and the Tang army successfully captured the prisoner camp.  This is also related to the cannibal's slackness after the victory in the Battle of Talas. After all, the military strength is superior and the situation is advantageous. Who would have thought that the Tang army would dare to detour hundreds of miles and cross the Gobi Desert to make a surprise attack. "What's the situation over there?"  Half of them will go to the supply camp, and the rest will go to seize the city." Wei Boyu did not expect that things went more smoothly than he expected. Seeing that the situation was under control, he ordered.  He personally came to seize the city. At this time, the city had noticed the commotion in the prisoner camp outside the city. He originally wanted to send people to help suppress it, but there were few soldiers in the city. After deliberation for a while, he finally decided to only send someone to check.  As a result, the man sent by Wei Boyu ran into him head-on and was immediately chopped down.  Sensing something bad, the city immediately ordered the city to close its doors and be on guard. However, the Tang army, which had sneaked in early, also attacked at the right time and captured the west gate.  The inside and outside cooperated, and the Tang army was large in number. When the Tang army poured into the city, the battle situation was decided.  However, there was something wrong with taking over the military supplies camp. The commotion in the prisoner camp alarmed the military supplies camp. At this time, Prince Yuan En of Shiguo was in the military supplies camp. He came back overnight yesterday to count the military supplies and prepare them for later use. As a result, he heard a commotion.  Immediately ordered the camp to be closed and held fast.  He brought 500 personal soldiers, plus the 500 defenders and more than 1,000 civilians in the camp. Armed with ordnance, there were 2,000 people.  Wei Boyu sent only 500 men. If the sneak attack failed, he could only attack by force. In his eagerness, he could not break the stronghold.  Seeing that the flag on the city head had been replaced by the flag of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan En suddenly understood in his heart that Talas City, which Gao Xianzhi had spent five days with tens of thousands of people unable to capture, had been lost in such a short moment. Once Talas was lost, he would hold on to it.  The military stockade was meaningless - there were ordnance in the city, but because the city was small, the prison camp and the supply camp were placed outside.  He was worried in his heart, but did not lose his determination. He immediately ordered: "Set fire" "What?" "Let you set fire" Yuan En said sharply.  "This is not okay, this is our spoils of war," the Dashi general guarding here said sternly.  He didn¡¯t take Yuan En seriously. He only listened to Yuan En for a while.  Now if Yuan En really set fire to the military supplies, how would he report it to Ziad?  "Listen, the piles here are just some ordnance, not even much rations. If you don't burn them, do you want the Tang people to use them to defend Talas City?" Yuan said.He grabbed him and said louder: "The Tang people have sufficient military resources, so they can hold on to Talos and wait for reinforcements. Do you think General Ziad will send you to the gallows when he comes back?" This shout made that person angry.  General Dashi was hesitant. As Yuan En said, they could neither save Talas City nor defend the military supplies. Burning them was almost the only feasible option. Thinking of this, he could only nod reluctantly, but said  : "General Ziad, go and explain. Although Ziad is cruel, he is not incapable of distinguishing priorities. Yuan En expects that he will not mind if he makes such a decision. Moreover, Yuan En is more worried about one thing. Since the Tang army has taken a detour  Suddenly appeared at the foot of Talas City. Will there be any recurrence on the side of the city? When Wei Boyu led the Tang army who had been armed in Talas City to attack the supply camp, he saw thick smoke billowing over the supply camp, and he couldn't help but pause.  Zu: "Damn it, he saw the opportunity early." Setting fire is just the first step. While Yuan En asked the big food general to set fire everywhere, he secretly gathered his cronies, and then suddenly broke out of the stronghold and headed south along the road.  Luo Hehe fled. He had only about 200 riders, but there were still more than a thousand enemies in the village. After defeating these enemies, the Tang army was busy putting out the fire, so no one paid attention to him, but he escaped by chance.  En crossed the Talos River again. What happened here must be reported to Ziyad immediately, so he turned his horse to the east, but before he reached Baishi Ridge, he saw hundreds of noisy riders fleeing across the road. "What's going on, you guys."  what's going on?  "When he saw that these hundreds of horsemen were Anguo soldiers, he immediately stopped and asked. "Water, such big water, thousands of troops, but they were all washed away by the water, all gone." Those who escaped  It was Ye Chang's water attack by the coalition's rear army. Although it overwhelmed the main force of the coalition, it was impossible to overwhelm the entire coalition. Fortunately, a portion of the coalition's rear army was not submerged by the water. However, the earth-shattering situation at that time made  They were trembling in fear, thinking that the gods were angry, and they didn't dare to stay any longer. The information they got from them was of course inaccurate. Yuan En was confused and even asked several people, but they didn't have any clue.  The Anguo army took a few breaths here, and then wanted to escape again. Yuan En did not tell them about Talos. When they were far away, they finally realized: "Oh no!" The countries in the river also had many conflicts with each other.  He originally wanted to use the Tang army in Talas to make these Anguo people suffer. Now thinking about it, these Anguo people must have been destined to become prisoners when they arrived in Talas. At that time, wouldn't he have spread the battle outside the city to the Dalas?  Ross? It was too late to regret it. He continued to move forward, and after walking for another five miles, he saw more and more coalition forces escaping, including many cannibals. He felt that he finally saw some cannibals.  We could have accurate information, so we stopped him and asked again. "I don't know, I don't know at all. The true God is angry, and the true God has abandoned us." The performance of the cannibals was not much better than that of the other countries in the river.  He looked like he was going crazy. Yuan En wanted to slap him a few times to wake him up, but the big eater broke away from him before he could do it, and then fled on horseback. A Tocharian said more clearly: "  Run away, run away quickly, there are floods from all directions, and our tents, camps, and war horses and weapons, all that can be washed away, cannibals?  Ha, in order to prevent the Tang Dynasty from attacking at night, they all wore armor. Do you understand, if they fall into the water and fall into the water, it is impossible to float?" Another Tocharian also said: "You, the Stone Kingdom, are better off asking for your own blessings.  Well, this time the cannibals are going to be wiped out. If you don¡¯t want to be retaliated by the Tang people, you should make plans early - we have to go back and make other plans. "An army of more than 100,000 people was washed away by this water?" Yuan  Well, I still can't believe it.  "I have never seen such a big water. Even if ten Talos rivers are gathered together, there will be no such big water." The Tocharian people's statement is naturally an exaggeration, but it can't be seen clearly at night.  They gathered together again, but the losses caused by the flood to the coalition forces cannot be discounted.  Yuan En¡¯s last trace of luck was gone. Knowing that something was not going well, he turned his horse¡¯s head and fled with the defeated troops.  After leaving Baishi Ridge, these defeated troops crossed the Talas River and wanted to go to Talas City. Yuan En did not inform the situation of Talas City, took his own headquarters, and fled westward.  "It's not over yet. If Ziyad can't do it, there's still Bashrin. He's the governor of Khorasan. He still has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and they're the most elite Khorasan soldiers. If I can't convince him, I'll go and convince Abu Habat."  Si, he is the new caliph of Dashi. Let him not waste his energy in the poor west, but send his troops to the east. The prosperous Tang Dynasty in the east is his goal that the whole country should face." Yuan En took his  Kuangzhi embarked on a long road, and under the Talas City, the deserters who fled from the city brought news of the defeat of the Dashi Allied Forces.  Wei Boyu was overjoyed to receive the news. He ordered scouts to be sent out to detect the movements of the defeated army in the east, while preparing for city defense.  When it was getting late, the scouts flew away.Later, the news of Dashi's defeat was confirmed, which relieved Wei Boyu's last worry.  "Ye Zhongcheng really has the ability to turn things around." He looked around: "You all feel at ease now. "That's natural. We have trusted Ye Zhongcheng from the beginning." Everyone around laughed. "In this case, let's work hard one more night and put our trust in him."  Things come beautifully when done.  "Wei Boyu said: "I have sent people to see Ye Zhongcheng to inform him that the Talas have descended, but there will be a large number of defeated soldiers coming tonight, and there may be a few big fish to catch. On the one hand, we must hold on to the city, and on the other hand, we can't catch it.  We must pull the legs of these defeated soldiers to prevent them from escaping." Both the soldiers who came with Wei Boyu and the released prisoners of the Tang Army were close to exhaustion at this time, but after hearing what Wei Boyu said, they all cheered up.  After getting up, Wei Boyu ordered out 4,000 men and horses, and set up a stronghold on the south bank of Talas at night. In this way, the city of Talas and the stronghold on the south bank were opposite each other across the river, cutting off the escape route of the food army. In order to bluff, he also spread out widely.  Flags and fires were everywhere, and the sergeants were ordered to patrol repeatedly, pretending to have tens of thousands of troops. But there was nothing in the first half of the night. When the cannibalistic defeated army arrived here, they found that the Tang Dynasty had cut off their way, or dispersed into the mountains.  However, in the middle of the night, they saw torches coming from a distance, and there seemed to be thousands of horsemen. They stopped not far from Talas City, watched for a while, and then.  Someone rode up and shouted, "Who is here?"  " The words were spoken by people from the Tang Dynasty. Wei Boyu was on the city at this time. He didn't dare to sleep at all. Hearing the shouts and questions, he responded to the city: "Wei Boyu was ordered by Ye Zhongcheng to rescue our captives and capture Talas.  Here, who is here? Because it was night, the answer from the city was spread far away, and the two generals in the army below the city heard it without waiting for the person who asked the question to respond.  The two looked at each other with unlucky looks on their faces.  These two generals are Wang Yanger and Shanzhi.  "Bah, you are such a bald thief. If it weren't for you, why wouldn't you get the credit for Talos City?" "You are really capable of messing around. What does that have to do with me? If you hadn't bothered me, I would have captured Ziad long ago."  , why do you need to come here?" "Ziyad should be mine" "You have been chasing for a long time and haven't caught up yet, why should it be yours? It should be mine" "You are the only one who got knocked down by me.  With your abilities, you are no match for that thief." "You were just lucky. How about we fight again?" The two of them were about to fight again, but fortunately, the lieutenant beside him persuaded them to leave and at the same time sent someone to the city to explain themselves.  military status.  When Wei Boyu on the city heard that the pursuers were sent by Ye Chang, he was overjoyed. However, out of caution, he still shouted: "If they are the people sent by Ye Chang, someone must know them. I don't know who they are as generals.  Please come to the city to see me." "You go," Wang Yang'er said to Shan Zhi.  "You are the one who should go." Shanzhi was not willing to go either. The two of them had not won the victory over the city, so they had no intention of showing their faces. You pushed me and I pushed you. No one came out for a long time, so Uncle Wei at the top of the city  Yu was worried again, "Fortunately, at this time, it was not far from dawn. Not long later, when the first ray of morning light broke through the east, Ye Chang also appeared outside Talos City.
