Yan Qingfu looked at the captured Chengdu City, regretted it and speechless. Yan Qingfu originally planned to open a gap with thunder to guide Gao Pian's army to retreat into the city. This idea was good and feasible. He also expected that the Nanzhao army had ambush outside the city. However, Yan Qingfu never expected that this Nanzhao ambush would be so fast! Not only did the troops approach the city gate in the blink of an eye, but the ambush was like a hungry wolf, and the soldiers guarding the city gate were no match for them at all.

When he saw a conspicuous dictionary embroidered on the flag of this army, the iron cavalry of 20,000 people were uniformly dressed, and there was a red scarf on his left arm. Yan Qingfu looked shocked and sighed heavily. As the governor of Dongchuan, he had fought with Nanzhao for many years here, and had heard of a little about training an iron cavalry under Duan Zongbang. However, he had only heard of it but had never seen it, and gradually made people forget about this.

"Master! This is not the time to ask for crimes. After breaking out of the siege, I will let the military law deal with it!" Although Yan Qingfu regretted it at this moment, being able to help the army break out of the siege can be considered as making up for the merits.

Gao Pian suppressed his anger and did not object. He also knew that Yan Qingfu's move was kind. Moreover, it was not the time to argue about who was right or wrong, so he shouted coldly: "Okay! All the generals obeyed the orders! Break out of the siege!"

With a call, the army gathered in anger and resisted stubbornly and wanted to tear a hole into the encirclement. However, the encirclement formed by the Nanzhao army broke through like this? At this time, the encirclement changed again. Five thousand crossbowmen poured into each other in the east and west directions. With a call, tens of thousands of arrows were fired at the same time. The rain of arrows was as shaking the sky and blocking the sun like locusts. The bows and guns were rushing into the sky, and the brittle sound of arrows and gun tips piercing into the human body or the shield was as dense as hail.

Although the morale of the Tang army was disintegrating, the rabbit's eyes would bite when it turned red. Then countless bloodthirsty Mo Dao, together with the earth-shaking roars of the Tang army soldiers, slashed at the tenacious Nanzhao Army. Mo Dao, who was advancing like a wall, became the pioneer of the way again! Although the spear platoon who covered them was slightly behind them because they made way for the charge, their attack was also rapid. However, the prepared Nanzhao Army was not to be outdone, so the subsequent counterattack became even more fierce.

The fierce hand-to-hand combat has begun!

The Nanzhao soldiers were not willing to be outdone and fought back with the same roar and sword. The sharp weapons slashed through various armors, and the clanging of metal and the tearing of flesh sounded violently. The two sides of the war were like two equally hard iron fists. One was bound to surround them and annihilate them, while the other was to concentrate on breaking through.

In this way, the front line was intertwined, and the enemy and we were intertwined. Every step was that countless soldiers fell in pools of blood. The scorching sun set off a rolling wave of heat, stirring up the people who fought desperately together, and boiling them into a pot of boiling soup with blood splashing. The blood and hot sweat of thousands of soldiers, and the sonorous swords and countless swords made people feel disgusted.

However, even so, the breakout army formed by Gao Pian and Yan Qingfu still failed to break through the defense line of the Nanzhao army. Facing the Nanzhao army's arrow rain like locusts, the stubborn Tang army was killed and injured. Seeing these Gao Pian felt regretful, he was overconfident because of the thunder that he was too confident and did not have crossbowmen to accompany the army. Now such a passive situation is really a consequence of his own consequences.

Now Chengdu City has been captured, there is no way out of retreat in the south, and there is a crossing river in the north that cannot be crossed. At this moment, there are Nanzhao troops on both sides of the east and west, so it is not easy to break out of the encirclement. In addition, these tens of thousands of crossbowmen have suffered a lot. During this period, many people even fled into the river in a hurry, but for a pity, this group of people will eventually become water ghosts of the Dadu River (Moshui). Because the chief dragon standing opposite the river bank, he ordered people to shoot all the Tang troops who were trying to escape into the Moshui.

Chengdu City was known as Jinguan City in ancient times. During the Han Dynasty, the brocade weaving industry was developed and specially set up Jinguan City to manage it. Therefore, it was known as "Jinguan City". However, it was such a picturesque season. There was a war of nearly 300,000 people outside the city with pleasant scenery. If it was a battle against each other, it would be a bit interesting, but the current situation was a one-sided situation.

Duan Zongbang had been planning this siege for a long time, otherwise he would not have waited for Gao Pian outside the Chengdu City (Jinguan City). The reason why he spent so much effort was to swallow the living power of the Tang Dynasty. With his understanding of Yan Qingfu, Yan Qingfu would not sit idly by the way of siege Gao Pian's remaining 80,000 troops outside the city.

It is precisely for this reason that he ambushed the elite cavalry outside the city early, and just waited for Yan Qingfu to leave the city gate, he would seize Chengdu City (Jinguan City) with thunder. Even if Yan Qingfu thought about it, it was too late, because Duan Zongbang had already given instructions that as long as Yan Qingfu rushed into the encirclement, he would entangle him tightly. It would be difficult to recall. The 20,000 elite ambushers under his command could take this opportunity to seize Jinguan City.

The war lasted for three hours, and Yan Qingfu and Gao Pian's 100,000 troops were almost wiped out. After several arrows, Yan Qingfu was stabbed to death by Duan Zongbang. Duan Zongbang finally got what he wanted and avenged the revenge of the arrow that year. The entire battlefield was filled with smoke, and the sound of birds echoed next to the empty river bank, as if telling the world the blood of the war.

Gao Pian held a sword with one hand, his messy hair fluttering in the wind. The blood had dyed his whole body red, and the broken armor occasionally made a slight breaking sound. Gao Pian, who was covered in blood, raised his already red eyes, looked around the Tang soldiers who were corpses all over the field, and then turned around and looked at Jinguan City (Chengdu City) that had been slaughtered. Gao Pian slowly closed his eyes, his body trembling constantly, and wanted to say something, but it was like a thorn in his throat.

At the moment when he closed his tiger's goal, Gao Pian remembered what Chen Hao said to him back then: "Weapons are things of interest! We should not rely on them forever..." At this moment, he finally understood the profound meaning of Chen Hao's words. This soldier does not only refer to people, but also weapons! He relies too much on weapons and was eventually injured by weapons! Although he does not know why this thunder of heaven became a dumb thunder, these are no longer important.

If he hadn't relied too much on the thunder, he thought that he would have been invincible with the thunder in his hands. Gao Pian would not have ended up like this. Why would the entire army be wiped out forever? He asked himself that he had the ability to lead the army, but this time, because of the thunder, he ignored many essential elements of the thunder.

Thinking of these things, Gao Pian shook his head slightly and said to himself: "Thousand miles are not as good as you..." Although his words were light, he could feel endless sadness!

The sound of horse hooves was approaching, and Duan Zongbang's voice came from behind: "General Gao, the so-called knowledgeable people of the times are heroes. As long as you sincerely submit to my Nanzhao, I can recommend you to the prince!"

Gao Pian slowly twisted his body, turned his head and glanced at Duan Zongbang who was sitting upright on the horse, then glanced at the chief dragon in brocade clothes, and then sneered: "You are kind!"

Chief Long stroked his three-inch beard, and a smile appeared on his wide national character: "Zongbang often mentions the brother Qianli in front of me. As long as Qianli surrenders sincerely, Xiao Wang can guarantee Qianli official to be the general!"

Gao Pian did not respond to the words of the two, but nodded slightly to the northeast, and finally laughed wildly: "I, Gao Qianli, is already a sinner, how can I defame my ancestors' reputation again!... Gao will wait for your arrival here. When Gao sees the day when Nanzhao falls, I, Gao Qianli, will sincerely convince you! Hahaha!"

The wind was loud and Gao Pian laughed wildly, but a rare man's tears came out from the blood-red tiger's eyes. The long sword crossed the neck and stained his armor with blood, and the blood sword fell to the ground and inserted into the soil. Then his body fell down and fell on the land covered with blood from the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

...

The entire Jiannan Road was nearly 300,000 troops, and almost all of them were wiped out in ten months. After that, Gao Pian's obstacles were gone, the Nanzhao army won the entire Jiannan Road in less than a few days. At the same time, unexpected things happened in Hexi.

If you look at Hexi, you will see that the 70,000 army of the Wei Bo Jiedu governor Slaughtered Wolf is much lower-key than Gao Pian's 100,000 army. Although it also carried a hundred thunders that the imperial court gave it, Slaughtered Wolf did not seem to take it seriously. However, before Slaughtered Wolf led his army into Hexi, Shazhou staged a scene of brothers seizing power.

Things in the world are always elusive. Zhang Huaishen really didn't expect that at this critical moment, his cousin Zhang Huaiding would openly seize power. In fact, Chen Hao also reminded him in his letter to him. However, Zhang Huaishen, who cared about family affection, did not take Chen Hao's reminder to him. In his opinion, Chen Hao must have thought too much. Although his uncle handed over the military and political power of Hexi before his death, it was inevitable that his cousin Zhang Huaiding felt dissatisfied, but it was hard for him to believe that he surrendered to the enemy and treason.

However, everything that has been so far today ruthlessly confirmed Chen Hao's prediction that Zhang Huaiding's intention to seize power at this time was obvious. Zhang Huaiding controlled the 80,000 troops of the Zhang family in Hexi, but now 40,000 rebels and obeyed Zhang Huaiding in the face of the battle, and the 20,000 troops of the Suo family were fully supported. Therefore, Zhang Huaiding already had an advantage in terms of military strength.

The atmosphere inside the Jiedushi Mansion was a little stagnant, and the entire Jiedushi Mansion was covered with armored soldiers. Today, Japan should be discussing military deployment, but unexpectedly, Zhang Huaiding and Suoxun led a team of soldiers to surround the Jiedushi Mansion. Zhang Huaishen did not expect that his entourage guards had already been bribed by Zhang Huaiding.

"Brother! Now half of the entire Hexi army belongs to me, and the 20,000 soldiers of the Suo family are willing to be loyal to them. In this case, you might as well give up the position of Jiedu. If you let me take this position as a military governor, you will definitely be able to withdraw the enemy's troops!" Zhang Huaiding looked at Zhang Huaishen on the chair with a slanderous look on his face, and said proudly with the tone of Zhizhu in his holding.

"Bastard! The position of the governor is the imperial seal of the emperor. How can you, a traitor, force it to rob you?" A female general in the chamber saw Zhang Huaiding so arrogant, so she scolded him in anger.
