Two days later, on the road directly leading to Yanqi Town, there were two rivers (the Urumqi River and the Ulastai River) that crossed the Tianshan Mountains as the backbone, a team was also moving at dusk, with a team of about 5,000 people!

In the dark night, on the post road leading directly to Gaochang Town that crossed the Daban natural danger, another team was passing through. The number of people was unknown. The team blocked the first thirty miles in advance, so that everyone's eyes turned to the team on the road on the west side.

Gaochang City.

Gaochang City was once the capital of the Ju family Gaochang State and the garrison of the Tianshan Army. It was naturally a very tall, strong, vast and prosperous city. After learning about this news, Feng Changqing, the current Gaochang Guardian (Tianshan Army Envoy) fell into deep thought.

Speaking of which, since Cheng Qianli promoted him from the position of the mayor of Suoye Town to the position of governor of Gaochang Town, it was impossible for Feng Changqing to say that it was not grateful.

If he was purely an illiterate martial artist, he might have transferred to the Beiting Protectorate without hesitation. But after all, he is a well-read man and grew up in the Anxi military family. He would not have no concern for Sun Xiurong, who had once promoted him vigorously.

When he was in Talas, his position was actually second only to Sun Xiurong and Li Feishouyu. Since Li Feishouyu was all in the army, he was actually the second-ranked figure in the governor's office of Talas!

Therefore, when he was transferred to Gaochang by Cheng Qianli, he was mainly happy but a little melancholy.

After coming to Gaochang, although he was a commander, he actually fell into the redundant work of serving as a field, law, and strata in Shule Town. He was both greedy, complimenting and supporting each other, but reluctantly taking care of the regulations of the court.

If you live like that, just live a big life. Who can control the life and death of ordinary soldiers, farmers, merchants and other ordinary people?

In Talas, Sun Xiurong paid land and salary in accordance with the court's regulations on the government and the salaries of officials. Including the amount of land, it was completely in accordance with the regulations, without any usurpation. In terms of official promotion, there was naturally no room for the ability, loyal, mediocre, and treacherous.

Even the eunuch Yu Chaoen, who was as savage as a human, was run so hard that there was nothing to do, let alone the rest of the people waiting.

Is such a regulation good or bad?

However, no matter where he was, Feng Changqing was not treated unfairly.

In Talas, his wealth was the most, and his wealth, salary, salary, and servant money were also the highest. Sun Xiurong and Li Fei Shouyu actually had no wealth, only salary money.

Of course, the little bit of land given to him by the governor's office of Talas was not worth the effort when he arrived in Gaochang. As soon as he took office, Cheng Qianli and Gao Xianzhi gave him a large amount of seed fields. In addition, the gifts given by the new officials were equivalent to the fact that he had worked in Talas for several years.

But he was not overly happy.

"I just became another husband Meng Lingzha. I can't help but want it under this big net. If that's the case, I will definitely not be able to stay in Gaochang."

After all, he was a person who had been influenced by the Tang Dynasty border government for a long time and gradually adapted to it.

After learning that his "benefactor" Cheng Qianli was killed by Sun Xiurong, he made up his mind to break up with Sun Xiurong.

"Anyway, this official position was given by the Holy Emperor. Only if I, Feng Changqing, can't do anything to be sorry to the Tang Dynasty"

Come back to this matter.

He quickly returned to his usual calmness, just like when he was in Shule Town when he was investigating the case.

"Did they leave at dusk?"

"Real"

After staying in Talas for a few years, Feng Changqing was very concerned about Renyong. Although there were Yuhou Army in the Tang army, Sun Xiurong did not block Feng Changqing's operation. Although he did not know all the details, he knew about it. After coming to Gaochang, he immediately placed his own hands in the nomadic Basili tribe and Daxi tribe in the south slope of the Tianshan Mountains.

In fact, it is also very simple. A small tribe or almost herder suddenly appeared along the two rivers mentioned above, so that no one would be wary of the errands.

The person in front of him was the detailed work he had placed in the Esueshan Guard and Chacheng, where he was nominally grazed with his wife and children.

Feng Changqing fell into deep thought.

"There are indeed as many as five thousand people?"

"Indeed, it's all dressed in Tang Jun."

Feng Changqing nodded, "According to Dalang's usual practice, he is even more streamlined than the Tang army. For him, he should be used as 10,000 Tang army. He also took the road of Essuo Mountain, so of course we were waiting for the eyes and ears of the post road in the east, but why did this guy leave at dusk?"

"Well, from Gao Xianzhi besieging Suye City to Dalang receiving the news that it will take four or five days to prepare food and grass. It must be hasty, but Dalang has always been cunning, so he should not be careless."

"Can there be any movement on the post road?"

Feng Changqing looked at the other person. The man was naturally the fine work he placed in the east through the Daban natural dangerous post road. However, since Daban City was captured by the Saiye Army, the Saiye Army cleaned up the Tang army strongholds and fine work north of the castle, and the two sides fought against the post road south many times. Don’t think about the strongholds, it’s just that they can be placed in detail.

Therefore, this masterpiece could only explore the situation south of Dazaka Castle.

"Reported to the garrison envoy, there are no signs of a large army's action so far. There are also sources of information in the north, but no news has been received."

"That person is indeed reliable?"

"The guard commander, that man is the younger brother, so there should be no problem."

Feng Changqing thought to himself: "Dalang needs to protect the vast Beiting land. He can take advantage of the Anxi army going west and heading south for up to 10,000. Five thousand have been dispatched to the west. Even if there are some tribal cavalry, there are still many. According to his situation, it is serious to concentrate the army's strength all the way."

"If you secretly place a road in the east, at most 5,000 people will be placed. You will have to cross the two forts of Dabannan Fort and Baiyanghe Fort. There are beacon towers along the way. How easy is it to go south quietly?"

"It's probably the road to the west, and the road is rugged and dangerous. It would be nice if Dalang's team could approach Esueshan and guard the city, let alone..."

......

What Feng Changqing unexpectedly was that Esousan Shouzhao City was still two hundred miles away from Luntai City. The team that went south actually arrived in two days. After arriving, they did not immediately attack the castle stuck between the two mountains and across the river, but instead set up a camp on the north side of the castle.

The next morning, the camp was surrounded!

Leading this team is Gao Tinghui, the commander-in-chief stationed in Bogra Camp in Beilu County.

After seeing this situation, he was not panicked, but instead launched defense based on the camp.

In the middle of the camp, on the high platform built, the tall Gao Tinghui's eyes were also a little solemn - there were at least tens of thousands of Tang soldiers coming from all directions!

All Tang troops had armor, at least half of them had iron armor. Although there were no war horses, the 10,000 Tang infantry army was still quite considerable. Gao Tinghui was the capital of the Qingyi Army in Guizhou before, so he naturally knew the power of the 10,000 Tang troops. Under normal circumstances, without any conspiracy, when the two sides started a war in the wild, there were few opponents who could defeat the Tang army!

At the beginning, both sides used bows and arrows and crossbows to suppress the opponent to cover the attackers and defenders, and launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle in front of the fence of the camp.

Unlike ordinary Tang army camps, the Thunder Ye Army rarely carried wood in march. The thing was too heavy. Instead, they chose to use materials to camp locally in places with trees. Their weapon was still the straw bags that Sun Xiurong had tried and tested. They used a small amount of trees and used a large amount of straw bags that filled with soil and stones. The trees only played a fixed role.

Feng Changqing guessed well. This time Gao Tinghui brought only two thousand Ye soldiers, and all the rest were the Basilian Herdsmen who were familiar with the local terrain.

Of course, these two thousand shattered Ye Army were drawn from the four battalions of Tianshan County who were good at mountain operations, including 500 heavy infantry, 500 light infantry, 500 crossbow soldiers, and 500 various types of troops, so they were naturally used as reserves.

The newly established three thousand herdsmen of Basimi brought all the soldiers. They each obtained a Tang army summer robe, a spear produced in Beiting, each with a horizontal knife, and a bow and arrow were still used to use their previous ones.

The next day, the Tang army finally used a Fuyuan crossbow with a force of five stones, and needed two people to use a winch to snatch it!

The crossbow of Fuyuan Crossbow weighs one pound, and the arrow is almost an inch thick. If it is a shovel-shaped arrow, it can also cut off the fence. However, since the crossbow was obviously dismantled and carried separately to the place and temporarily installed (the Fuyuan Crossbow has wheels), it is not much. Most of the crossbows were shot into the straw bags filled with soil and stones. The wall of the Thunder Ye Jun was built of three layers of straw bags. If a crossbow with a crossbow with an arm thickness is used, it will naturally not last long, but it is still no problem to just the Fuyuan Crossbow.

Three days later, the Tang army's "normal attack" failed. They found nothing except for leaving some soldiers killed by the Shattered Leaf Army in front of the camp.

On the fourth day, their real attack began!

A small team of about one hundred Mo Daojian slowly leaned towards a wall under the protection of a large iron shield!

At this time, it would not work to use a horn crossbow to shoot. Mo Dao soldiers were all covered in thick iron armor. The ones followed were mostly the real heavy infantrymen in the Tang army holding heavy weapons. They were wearing small shields and were not afraid of the shooting of crossbow arrows!

Once they are approached, the mere four-foot-high straw bag wall will definitely not stop the impact of Mo Dao and heavy infantry!

However, Gao Tinghui was not completely unprepared.

Just as the Tang army slowly approached under the shield, the people in the reserve team resisted ten black iron pipes. They saw that the black iron pipes were about three feet long, with a diameter similar to the cannons that the Sailing Ye Jun had used before, but were a little worse in length and thickness.

These are short-barrel cannons specially used for mountain combat that the Ye Army had already had, but they had never taken out. Compared with the 300-pound land war artillery, the mountain cannon weighs only 150 pounds, and two soldiers can carry it. It is very convenient. Its range is about half of the land war artillery, about 300 meters, but the iron egg used is the same as the land war artillery!

One hundred meters!

Fifty steps!
