Despite Ye Chang's repeated persuasion, Wang Changling still followed him to the army. In Wang Changling's own words, he wrote frontier poems and went to the frontier, but never participated in frontier wars. This is a great regret in life, so no matter what, he has to come and take a look.

Just like Gong Fu's information, Jilizhou's total troops were only 3,500, and one thousand were the Bohai people trained for Chen Xi. Ye Chang did not mobilize these people, but mobilized some regiments to train. Therefore, there were a total of 4,000 soldiers, two thousand soldiers, and two thousand regiments to train, which was the previous militia. In addition, 5,000 civilians were mobilized to stand by.

Because of the frequent practices on weekdays, even civilians can use them as soldiers as long as they are equipped with weapons.

On August 26, the army was only fifty miles away from Jian'anzhou City. While crossing a bridge with an unknown river, they encountered Khitan's reconnaissance cavalry.

"The forests on the other side are deep and dense, so there may be ambushing, so it is not advisable to cross the river." When Zhang Hao saw the other party's situation, he said to Ye Chang.

"What you said is, we are not in a hurry. We will set up camp here first and observe the reality of the Khitans." Ye Chang said cautiously.

For these Khitans, this was their first battle with the Tang army in Liaodong, so Gong Fu reminded him to be careful when he was lazy. For Ye Chang, the same was true. This was the first battle since Jilizhou consolidated its army, so he also had to win.

They set up camp here, and the scouts opposite were just watching from a distance. After a while, a scouts tried to come to the riverside, and shot a whistle and whistle toward it. The sound of the arrow was sobbing and shrill. Ye Chang was a little far from the river bank, so the arrow did not shoot people, but it scared someone in the group's training.

Training on weekdays is different from wartime, but seeing that the arrow was still a little far apart, those inexperienced regiments quickly returned to peace after a little chaos.

"I'll shoot him," Nan Jiyun said angrily.

"Don't go, don't go." Ye Chang pressed him down: "It's just a muslim slave, why bother to fight for this moment?"

"When facing the enemy, you should not boost your morale. If you do not fight back, the enemy will inevitably become more rampant, and our army's morale will be depressed." Nan Jiyun said: "Sima, kill the enemy to show off your power, this is what you said at the beginning."

Ye Chang laughed: "No hurry, second brother, don't worry, when you do it."

Nan Jiyun's energy has not yet calmed down. Since he followed Ye Chang to fight, he has always been accustomed to making Zhuoxun almost every battle, so he is quite proud of himself.

They had no reaction, and the Khitan's scouts over there were even more proud. Some even went to the upper reaches of the river and took off their pants and peed into the water. This humiliation made Nan Jiyun even more angry. He asked Ye Chang again: "Sima, I will kill these scouts and take their first achievements to sacrifice to our military flag."

"Second brother, wait a little longer... This is a military order"

Ye Chang ordered this, and although Nan Jiyun was angry, he finally stopped talking.

Seeing that no matter how provoked, no one responded to the Tang army, there was no one to shoot an arrow by the river. The Tang people were only concerned about setting up camp, so they turned around and went back.

After a while, they came back, but there were two hundred more riders.

"Sure enough, there was an ambush." ​​Wang Changling's eyes were not very good, and he said when he saw a group of Khitans.

"Not many, just over 200 riders, but depending on the situation, they are all elite riders," said Zhang Hao.

The more than 200 cavalrymen were Sala. Although he was very angry at what Gong Fu said, he was still cautious in using troops. Therefore, he ambushed an elite force in the woods and grass, while the rest of the troops were far apart. He originally wanted to use the scout cavalry to lure the Tang army across the river, kill for a while, and test the strength of the Tang army, but he never thought that the Tang army would not move at all.

Arriving on the riverside, looking at the Tang army across the river, Sala smiled and said, "Sure enough, this group of Tang army is not good, and it is not as good as An Lushan's subordinates."

This conclusion was because there were few cavalry in the Tang army. Although Ye Chang collected many cavalry, he currently only had more than 800 war horses, and this time he went to war, he only had four hundred cavalry. An Lushan had many war horses, and many subordinates had Hu who were accustomed to riding horses, so the cavalry was very elite.

After looking for a while, I saw that the Tang army not only had few cavalry, but also had not many armored soldiers who were most afraid of the Hu people and best reflected the national strength of the Tang Dynasty. The elite infantrymen holding Mo swords and bright light armor were the natural enemies of the Hu people's light cavalry, and often thousands or even tens of thousands of Hu cavalry could not do anything to the three thousand Mo sword soldiers. However, Sala did not see many armored soldiers in this Tang army, which made him even more despise.

"Swearing" Sala said again.

The Hu people behind him suddenly began to yell and curse, and all kinds of dirty words spurted to the other side of the river. Although Tang Jun could not understand Khitan words and did not know what these guys were saying, just looking at his expression, he knew that there was nothing good to say.

The Tang people in the border area were also very bloody, and someone immediately stepped forward to scold him. Seeing this, Ye Chang hurriedly sent someone to stop him. Only then did the Tang army beg each to return to their own positions, and the guards were on the verge of camping.

Seeing this situation, Sala looked down on the Tang army even more: "The soldiers still have some blood, but the general is cowardly and he just wants to be stable... Good, okay, this battle will be won."

Having said that, Sala was sent by Wu Khan to assist Dire, and was naturally not a real reckless man. Although he was sure of winning, he still did not take the initiative to cross the river, but left some people to monitor and then retreated voluntarily.

There was nothing to say for a day. The next morning, Sala came to the river to challenge again. This time, there were only more than twenty cavalry who came with him. He even went to the river alone, holding a spear in one hand and a bow in the other, making a contemptuous gesture towards the river. Nan Jiyun was so angry that he was about to ask Ye Chang for battle again, but Ye Chang sighed and said, "This man is majestic and must be extremely brave. Unfortunately, the third brother of Shanzhi is not here. If the third brother of Shanzhi is here, he will definitely be able to fight with him."

Nan Jiyun was furious: "Although Shanzhi's strength is greater than mine, if he is really fighting in a battle formation, he may not be able to defeat me immediately. Shiyilang, don't underestimate me."

Ye Chang looked at each other in shock, and Nan Jiyun stepped forward and said, "I wish to kill this enemy, please make a letter."

Ye Chang advised him a few words, and Nan Jiyun became more and more angry as he persuaded him. He felt that every word Ye Chang said was about the enemy's ambition and suppressing his own might. He almost robbed Bai Ye Chang. Ye Chang had no choice but to say, "Since the second brother said that, then I promise you to fight."

After receiving this order, Nan Jiyun was overjoyed, got on his horse and carried his spear, and left the camp. Sala saw a man from the Tang army, but others were still huddled in the camp, and laughed and disagreed.

Nan Jiyun urged him to come close to the river. When he saw Sala staring at him, his thoughts changed: "The fifth brother's intention just now is that he is afraid that I am not the opponent of this enemy, so he wants to let him see his own methods. If he defeats the opponent, he will not show his courage and must kill the opponent. If he takes a bow, the opponent will be on guard. It is not easy to shoot through the river, so it is better to do this."

Thinking of this, he took his bow out of the horse's back arch bag. Sure enough, when he picked the bow, Sala, who was not paying attention to him, immediately stared at him. Nan Jiyun raised the bow and threw it on the ground, and then continued to move forward.

Sala was a little surprised: What exactly did this Han man do? Why did he throw the bow when he came to the formation?

Nan Jiyun's move also surprised Ye Chang behind him, while Zhang Hao and Wang Changling were even more surprised: "Nan Ba ​​Shenzhao, we all know that he threw the bow at this time, how can he defeat the enemy?"

Ye Chang saw that Nan Jiyun did not go directly to Sala, but slowly moved upstream of the river. After walking about a hundred steps, he found a shallow and urged his horse to cross the river. He was alone and abandoned his bow. Sala turned around and waved his hand, not letting the servants behind him come over.

"The second brother of Nan must take the thief's head." Ye Chang said happily when he saw this scene: "Send the order and prepare to cross the river forcibly."

"Ah?" Zhang Hao was a little surprised: "You just arrived yesterday and were all excited about Nanba's efforts. I and the prince knew this, but how could you be sure that he would win the thief's head when you see it now?"

"You just need to see it. The second brother is both wise and brave. As long as he is willing to work hard, he will be the flying general of our army.

Zhang Hao and Wang Changling looked over again. Seeing Nan Jiyun crossing the river, the horse continued to move forward, still maintaining the rhythm of being slow. After a moment, they were only more than forty steps away from the enemy on the opposite side.

At this time, Sala sneered on his face. He also had a bow on his body, but he did not take the bow to shoot Nan Jiyun: "Well, what are you here?"

Nan Jiyun couldn't understand what he said in Khitan dialect at all. More than twenty steps behind Sala, the Khitans who came with him laughed. Some people in Chinese translated it.

After hearing this, Nan Jiyun smiled and shook her head.

"You man dog come here, are you here to die?" Sala said again.

While he said, he waved his spear on the horse, but there was a cold light flashing in his eyes. He just waited for Nan Jiyun to reach a certain distance and wanted to attack and capture him.

Nan Jiyun waved his hand and made a gesture that was not coming to fight. He said something vaguely, but he didn't say it very clearly. Sala didn't know what it meant, so he couldn't help but look back at the subordinate who was speaking Chinese. The subordinate was about to translate, but suddenly his face changed and he shouted, "Be careful."

It turned out that at this moment, Nan Jiyun was less than thirty steps away from Sala. When Sala turned around, Nan Jiyun suddenly kicked the horse's belly with his heels. The horse immediately started to speed up. In three blinks, the horse rushed up like an arrow from a string.

At this time, Salagang turned his head and looked at Nan Jiyun. He did not react slowly. He grabbed a spear with both hands and stabbed Nan Jiyun, with a grim smile on his face.

In his opinion, Nan Jiyun is seeking death like this.

Nan Jiyun also smiled and walked towards the other party's two spears. When the two saw each other interlaced, he suddenly pushed his spears, and the horse spears were swaying left and right. The two spears in Sala's hand were actually swept open by him with the force of the horse, and the door opened suddenly.

The grim smile on Sala's face turned into surprise. The other party's movements were so fast and accurate that he had exceeded his expectations.

As the horse ran, Nan Jiyun's spear was used to get old and could not be retracted. Therefore, he used the spear as a stick and used the horse's power to sweep Sala off the horse with the handle of the spear.

At this time, Ye Chang ordered: "Cross the River"

Sala's entourage also shouted angrily, urging the horses to come to rescue.

Sala fell to the ground, fell to a daze, and was covered in armor again, unable to get up for a while.

The horsemanship that Nan Jiyun practiced hard was at this time. He shook the reins and the horse turned around. He rushed out less than ten steps and then turned around. At this moment, Sala woke up from the dizziness and got up from the ground. Seeing that Nan Jiyun had turned back, he knew something was wrong, so he turned around and ran away.

Sala was running forward, Nan Jiyun chased behind, and after Nan Jiyun, Sala's followers chased after him. The distance between the three was almost the same, but Sala ran with her feet, so how could she compare to the war horse? Therefore, when his followers were still yelling about ten steps behind Nan Jiyun, Nan Jiyun had already chased behind Sala.

The spear in his hand was diagonally downward, and with the force of the horse, he penetrated Sala's armor hard, and then picked it up. Sala felt a pain in his heart, and his body was no longer controlled by him and he soared into the air.

His body was in the air, and the last thing Sala saw was that the Tang army across the river was swarming in, no longer the cowardice at the beginning. He thought of Gong Fu's words in his heart, and then he was swallowed by the regretful darkness.

Holding the spear in both hands, Nan Jiyun looked back and saw that Sala's entourage was about to chase him, he glared and roared: "Mu Nu, do you recognize me?"

The Khitans who were chasing him were already frightened when they saw that Sala was killed without any strength to fight back. He could not help but hesitate when he roared. At this time, behind the Tang army, drums sounded like thunder and killing sounds like tides. Hundreds of Tang army rushed towards Xiaohe.

If Sala was still alive, the people who were lying in the mountains and forests would have been preparing to intercept the attack in half, but Sala was dead, and the Khitans were composed of various tribes, each with leaders. Seeing that the Tang army was powerful and almost no one dared to fight again, they immediately retreated.

Without anyone intercepting the river, the Tang army crossed the river very smoothly. Originally, the river was not deep, but it was just to make a bridge to facilitate the supply to cross the river. After two thousand elite soldiers crossed the river, they chased the Khitans.

Sala divided his troops into two divisions, one of which was 4,000 people, which were all the tribes attached to the Khitan in Liaodong. They were placed a little far away. The other two thousand people were the headquarters of the Khitan Diela, whom he led, and ambushed in the dense forest on the other side of the river bank. The clans of the Liaodong who came were far away, and they were few and brave, so they were the first to escape. The headquarters of the Khitan Diela was hiding in the dense forest. They were originally planning to attack halfway when the Tang army crossed the river. Now the main general died and friendly troops fled. They had no intention of fighting again, but on the way back, they were cut off by the 400 Tang army cavalry who had crossed the river first.

Two thousand to four hundred people have an absolute advantage in number, but as long as these Tang cavalry entangled them for a moment, the infantry and soldiers behind them followed, the number advantage would turn to the Tang army. Therefore, the Khitans were in chaos for a while and then retreated deep into the mountains and forests.
