Chapter 345

The battlefield has calmed down.

Ye Chang led the horse and stepped on the blood, slowly passing through the five-foot-wide plank road. The air was still filled with a faint smell of fishy smell, but the barbarians' wailing and crying, and the cheers of Tang soldiers had stopped.

The mountains were silent, as if there was no unilateral massacre here just now.

Only the excitement on the faces of the Tang army soldiers and the shining eyes when they saw Ye Chang made people realize that a war had just happened here and the Tang army won a hearty victory.

When Wang Tianyun saw Ye Chang coming, he almost had no hesitation. He knelt down on one knee and performed a military ritual to Ye Chang: "Amusement, fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."

At first, he was hesitant about Ye Chang's orders, and even thought that this might be because he had offended Ye Chang, so Ye Chang intended to arrange a crushing defeat to hold him accountable. But the process and the result were beyond his expectations. Everything the barbarians would do was under Ye Chang's control. Wang Tianyun even felt that the barbarians were completely puppets controlled by Ye Chang. If Ye Chang asked them to ambush them, they came; if Ye Chang asked them to rob property, they robbed them; in the end, Ye Chang wanted them to die, so they died.

"Please get up, please get up, thank you for your hard work, this achievement has indeed been made."

Ye Chang pulled Wang Tianyun up and laughed, but did not mention his plan at all, and only praised Wang Tianyun for his good battle. Wang Tianyun was a little embarrassed. If Ye Chang hadn't had the right strategy, how could he win so easily?

"Ambassador Ye, Beizhi is a rough man, but today, Beizhi is convinced that the ambassador will give you any instructions in the future. Beizhi must not hesitate at all." He felt embarrassed and stood up and said.

Cai Ming, who was following Ye Chang, couldn't help but nod when he heard this.

Wang Yang'er is now Ye Chang's personal soldier, and she guards Ye Chang with Shanzhi. When he saw Cai Ming nodding, he pulled him and said, "Why is Mr. Cai?"

"Ambassador Ye has made great achievements."

"It's just a small victory, what's the point? Following the prince, we don't know how many of such a small victory we have ever played, and where is it worthy of Mr. Cai bragging so much."

Wang Yang'er was dissatisfied. He only saw Wang Zhongsi. Cai Ming smiled and said, "You don't understand", then stepped forward and followed Ye Chang again.

Wang Zhongsi was indeed almost a hundred battles, but Wang Zhongsi led the elite and strong soldiers who were carefully selected and trained for a long time, and Ye Chang led a group of newly defeated people, and the soldiers in the army were not close to him. In just one month, Ye Chang had no time to slowly rest and capture the morale of the army. But he quickly conquered these 30,000 soldiers with his two hands, one was the so-called protection of the gods, and the other was a great victory. From now on, these soldiers were truly Ye Chang's subordinates, and the Tang army was strong and Nanzhao was weak. As long as Ye Chang did not make any big mistakes, he could be invincible with these 30,000 soldiers who were willing to fight for him and dared to fight.

"The Southern Barbarians are just native chickens and tile dogs. My Tang soldiers are enough to serve one, three, and five." Ye Chang pulled Wang Tianyun and climbed to a high place, and then shouted: "Now that the enemy is defeated, and you are still fighting when you are pursuing the victory, can you still fight?"

"Can fight, can fight, can fight"

"Do you dare to fight?"

"Dare to fight, dare to fight"

"Okay, follow me, I will stand in front and we have supper in Yining."

The soldiers immediately cheered, and Ye Chang took the lead, and they really followed.

"Who can believe that such morale in the military is still a few days ago. This was still a complaining army." Seeing this, Cai Ming sighed and then turned his eyes to Ye Chang.

The prince claimed that Ye Chang was a strange man in the world, and he was indeed aware of people. He thought that with Ye Chang in the Tang Dynasty, it didn't matter whether he had him or not. In a sense, Ye Chang could indeed form a appeal like him in the army.

Ye Chang raised his army to set out, and the barbarians there also received news.

"Military General Yang Mouli died like this? He is really a fool, a fool."

Ge Luofeng was furious. He asked Yang Mouli to go, not really hoping that Yang Mouli would win a great victory, but out of caution, he wanted to explore the actual combat effectiveness of the Tang army this time. He originally thought that even if he couldn't win, he could still see Ye Chang's reality and understand how capable this young commander, who was well-known in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, had.

But Yang Moufu lost too quickly and too badly. Apart from figuring out that Ye Chang was cunning and tricky, Ge Luofeng felt that he had gained nothing.

"Ye Chang's army has already forced him to Kunchuan. Wang's army will send villains to ask, what should we do?"

This general of Wang Dajun, named Wang Pishuang, was the one who broke the Yaozhou City and killed Zhang Qiantuo. When Ge Luofeng heard this, his heart moved and immediately understood Wang Pishuang's meaning.

Wang Pishuang was clearly afraid of the enemy and wanted to retreat from Kunchuan to Yining, so he sent someone to ask. If this were not the case, why would he do this more than he did.

"Kunchuan has dangers to take charge, so I will send troops to take a detour and cut the Tang army's supplies." Ge Luofeng ordered, thinking about it, he added: "I will let Luo Shi lead three thousand people to help him."

After Luo Shi took three thousand people to Kunchuan, Ge Luofeng was still worried. He vaguely felt that things seemed to be out of his control.

"It's okay, it's okay. The Tang army fought south for 30,000. The army's food and grass were not completely confiscated. It must be transported from Jiannan to transport supplies, as long as it can survive this period..."

At night, Ge Luofeng couldn't sleep. He was still thinking about how to defeat Ye Chang. Just as he was thinking about how to cut off the Tang army's food route, suddenly, he heard a noise outside.

He suddenly stood up: "What's going on ahead?"

"King, king, big things are not good, let's go quickly, Tang army... Tang army is in great power, and I will be defeated by then Wang Pishuang."

Before the guards could go out to ask, Luo Shi rushed in in a mess and shouted to him.

"How is this possible?" Ge Luofeng was shocked: "This...so fast?"

"The Tang people are fierce and barbaric, with sharp crossbows and strong armor, we can't stop them." Luo Shi said in a crying voice: "Kunchuan is fertile, so it is not suitable to fight with the Tang people."

"It shouldn't be defeated so quickly."

"When the Tang people came, they attacked them. For some reason, they were all brave and fearless. It is said that the commander of the Tang army came to the front, and the two generals on his left and right were unstoppable. The Tang people also said... They also said that they were protected by gods and Prime Minister Zhuge gave the plan."

Luo Shi was more cautious, so when Ge Luofeng sent him there, he helped Wang Pishuang with his cautiousness. Therefore, although he escaped from defeat, he found out more clearly about the news about the love line.

Ye Chang's troops left the mountainous area and arrived at the Ze Plain in southern Yunnan, and then launched the troops. Although the 30,000 Tang troops had not reached the end, only less than 20,000, it was much more than the less than 10,000 troops in the hands of Wang Pi, the general general of Lu Nanzhao. Ye Chang led his own army, and Wang Tianyun led another army. Two troops attacked north and south, and attacked Wang Pishuang's village on the mountain on the southern Yunnan. The morale of the Tang army was high, and Ye Chang even led the army. Under the protection of Shanzhi and Wang Yang'er, he broke through the gate from the north and killed Wang Pishuang. It took only an hour to seize the village.

When Luo Shi arrived, the Tang army had already cleaned the battlefield and sent cavalry to chase Luo Shi. If Luo Shi had not escaped quickly, he would have sent all three thousand people. He had been fleeing all the way, and he had collected 5,000 people before he returned to Yining.

"This is impossible. The elite troops of the Tang army are all in the north. How could the soldiers and horses of the Jiannan Jiedushi be so good at fighting?" Ge Luofeng still disbelief of this result.

He was familiar with the facts of the Tang army. If the strong soldiers from Longyou, Hexi or Fanyang came, it would be normal for him to suffer such a defeat, but the soldiers and horses of the Jiannan Jiedu were clearly the ones. Just three months ago, he had defeated the opponent once. It was that victory that made him feel that he could leave Erhai Lake and go to the southern part of Yunnan to fight the Tang people.

"The Tang people said that their chief general received the guidance of Prime Minister Zhuge, and that he captured Prime Minister Zhuge who captured King Meng Huo. Therefore, the Tang people are not afraid of swords and swords. They have magic tricks," Luo Shi said in panic.

The barbarians were superstitious, even better than the Shu people. Although they were far away from the Three Kingdoms at this time, Zhuge Liang's reputation was still among the barbarians. Luo Shi firmly believed that the Prime Minister Zhuge had become a god, and the Tang army commander got his help, so it was natural to use troops like a god.

"God...Demonic...Ye Chang"

Ge Luofeng believed in Buddhism and was only skeptical about ordinary gods. However, Luo Shi's words reminded him that if it were not a god, it would be Ye Chang, the chief general of the Tang army. The person who had heard the name many times in Chang'an City must have used some means to integrate the Tang people into one place.

"Did the Tang army pursue it?" Ge Luofeng asked.

"I sent the soldiers who cut off the rear, but now there is no news. I guess the Tang army has not chased after them when they see it is too late.

Ge Luofeng frowned. He followed his father to fight, but he had some military strategy. The Tang army did not chase him in a hurry, and did not relax his heart. On the contrary, he felt even more uneasy.

The Tang army did not pursue the victory, which proved that their commander did not become arrogant because of the victory. Ge Luofeng knew very well that Tang was strong and Nanzhao was weak. The only hope for Nanzhao to win was that the Tang people could make mistakes.

"Take me out to see the soldiers." After hesitating for a short time, he said to Luo Shida.

Luo Shi led him outside, and the five thousand soldiers who escaped with him were now lying on the ground. The climate in Yunnan was warm at this time, so there was no need for a tent. Some wounded soldiers were moaning, while those who lost relatives and friends during the battle were crying.

Intact soldiers were whispering, and their words were always inseparable from words such as "gods", "witchcraft", and "Prime Minister Zhuge".

Even though the climate was warm, Ge Luofeng still felt cold, as if the cold wind blowing from the snow-capped mountains made him tremble.

The enemy is strong and his morale is low, so it is not appropriate to fight again... And since Ye Chang has never been arrogant, he will find a way to make him arrogant. If he does not make mistakes, he will have no chance of winning at all.

Making up his mind, Ge Luofeng ordered: "Send the entire army, let's retreat."

"retreat?"

"There are flat land near the southern Yunnan ze River, with few mountains and no dangers to guard, and it is not a place to fight. Back to Cangshan and Erhai Lake, we are on the back of Cangshan and facing Erhai Lake, guarding the Dragon Head and Dragon Tail Pass. Even if the Tang people come to 100,000 soldiers and horses, they will be unable to move in an instant."

As soon as he issued the order, the generals around him quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Ge Luofeng realized this and was even more worried.

Just one battle, if the attack of the vanguard is added, it can only be considered two battles at most, and the Tang army will break the courage of the soldiers on their own...

Nanzhao was small and weak. Even though Ge Luofeng integrated Wuman and Baiman, he forcibly recruited a lot of troops from various units, claiming to be 100,000 to the outside world, but in fact, the force was only 30,000. In today's battle, the loss exceeded 5,000. Although the casualties may only be two or three thousand, for Ge Luofeng, it was also a tragic injury.

The next morning, Ye Chang got up and came out of his central army tent, and began to move his hands and feet in the village. Every soldier who saw him greeted him affectionately and saluted him. He smiled and returned the salute one by one.

There was the smell of beef in the air, and it was the chefs who were cooking breakfast. The southern Yunnan Ze was originally under the rule of the Baiman Cuan family, and the Cuan family was also descended from the Han people who lived here, so the farming was also quite developed. They raised cattle near the southern Yunnan Ze. These cattle were scattered into the lake and scattered and gradually turned into wild buffaloes. Nanzhao came here and was forced to capture some. They originally wanted to serve as military food, but they ended up being cheaper in the Tang army.

When Ye Chang came back after a trotting, the beef soup had been cooked, the aroma was so strong that it made people's index fingers move. There were laughter and joy everywhere in the Tang army camp, and everyone was sharing the broth and eating pasta, without any tension at all.

During these days, Ye Chang learned the behavior of ancient famous generals to practice. He would not pick up the soldiers without eating enough. Therefore, when the soldiers finished eating, he picked up the chopsticks. When he was about to eat, he saw Wang Tianxing leading several people over.

"Is this?" Ye Chang was a little surprised.

"These people are all people in Yining City, and they say they have urgent military information to report to the ambassador."

The young general in front of him was the commander of the Tang army. The people looked very surprised and even looked at each other: Could it be that this young man who looked only in his early twenties defeated the arrogant Ge Luofeng yesterday?

"Why don't you even pay tribute when you see everyone in my family?" Wang Tianxing, who brought them, was immediately dissatisfied when he saw these people in this way.

Now Wang Tianxing admires Ye Chang so much that he cannot stand disrespect others. When he shouts, those people fall down immediately.

"Who are you? Why do you see me?" Ye Chang asked while drinking the soup.

"The villain is the people of Yining. Because Nanzhao rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, the villain had to surrender and deal with the thief. Now the thief has fled at night. The villain is here to report to the ambassador and ask the ambassador to enter the city."

"Xiao Xun?" Ye Chang's expression moved when he heard this.

"That's right, last night, the thief left the camp."

These local people include both the Baiman and the Han people. Originally, Ge Luofeng wanted to plunder them all, but because of the difficulty of taking the people to march, he finally gave up this plan.

When they heard that Nanzhao had retreated, the soldiers around were very happy. They all looked lit up and asked Ye Chang for battle to pursue him immediately. Ye Chang did not respond, but asked these people about the customs and customs in Yining City, and then sent them away.
