The southern foot of Papaya Ridge leads directly to the city of Chengtai.

On several scattered mountain roads, Xifan's infantry and cavalry built in advance at an extremely fast speed to Ma Dingde, and fled around the forts in the city and camps. The entire mountain ridge to the city and the camps were filled with congested figures and voices, and there were terrified shouts, "Gao Lang has come, Wei Lang is here again, let's kill us!"

The army of Xifan, Jiannan, is considered to be slightly less combat-effective. The first-class elites are either concentrated in Zanpu's imperial guard Dongdai, or in the north and east. You must know that even in the Battle of Huating, even if the Xifan army in the east was completely defeated, most of the foreign soldiers in the desperate situation could still take up weapons and fight to the end when facing the Tang army's pursuit. But the situation in the south is really hard to describe, especially the Xifan colonists in Huichuan and Zhuzhou now seem to no longer fight for Zanpu in the plateau, but fight for their own land and pastures. Therefore, they are more interested in preserving the Taichang City, rather than guarding the Papaya Ridge full of stone wasteland.

In general, if you look back on such a tragic scene, you will have to be the time when Yan Wu became the governor of Jiannan and defeated the southern Xifandao.

On the northern foot of the river, after defeating the left and right wings of Lumangre, Dingwu Army and Fengyi Army began to climb the mountain rocks and bravely attacked the people behind Xifan Hall. These soldiers mainly rely on the camping constructed in advance to resist.

But Papaya Ridge was too desolate, and even the wood was scarce. The field camps in Xifan were built with stones, which was a favorable phenomenon for the Tang army. The gunners in the Feishan Camp of Dingwu Army and the Thousand Cannon Camp of Fengyi Army were all familiar with the road. They picked up the stones that were everywhere, and the whirlwind cannons were standing on the whirlwind cannons, and the stones were like rain. The Xifan soldiers in the camp were beaten to the point of rushing. All the people who were in the cannon had their faces broken and their bodies were stacked in the tower.

Then, the Tang army jumping team, holding the long sword inscription of Ding Qinzhou or Pinglong, adopted the tactic of attacking first base and leaving first base according to the commander's instructions. First, concentrate troops, and rush forward in succession under the cover of the gunners, pull out a barrier, kill all the foreign soldiers there, and then separate one, and continue to capture the next one. At dusk, several Xifan camps were surrounded but not attacked. More than a thousand foreign soldiers inside couldn't help but start to flee. As a result, they were surrounded and killed by the waiting Tang army on the mountain road. What was miserable was that there was no forest covering the whereabouts on Papaya Ridge. Some people fell off the cliff and died, some people committed suicide, but many were also captured alive.

The only thing that caused trouble to the Tang army was the commanding height of the Papaya Ridge, which was called Xiaoxianggong Ridge by the locals. Its north and south are cliffs, and there was only a fish ridge-like road to the east connected to the mountain. More than 300 Western-Famous soldiers guarded it, and they built semi-permanent style block cards with stones. They were originally used to provide "eyes" for Lumangre formations, but now they are determined to defend.

Wei Gao and Gao Yue rode their horses in person, surrounded by the generals, watching the barriers of Xiaoxianggongling, and then said that they should not remove this nail when the troops were gathered to attack in the future, which shocked the enemy.

At this time, the Dingwu Army knew that the military commander Gao Gu came to report: We had an unexpected victory on the battlefield of Papaya Ridge.

That was the two thousand township soldiers led by Duan Jinyi, the Qingping official of Nanzhao.

This group of soldiers was originally placed in the mountains on the left wing by Lumanger. Lumanger had no hope for them. As expected, the war started to end until the end of the battle. The two thousand township soldiers first stood by and then took advantage of the defeat of Xifan to plunder the baggage and livestock of friendly troops everywhere. But in a blink of an eye, they found that the road down the mountain was blocked by the withdrawn foreign soldiers. Everyone stayed on the top of the mountain, and they did not retreat or retreat, and Beigu did not dare to go. So everyone scolded Fanxifan for being ruthless and untrustworthy. When the soldiers of the Tang army climbed a hundred feet away from them, Duan Jinyi resolutely took all his subordinates and surrendered.

Duan was still a little scared at first, so he first found the Dongman Yicong in the Tang army, and then the Deng ghost lord Zhu Song was the intermediary to meet Wei Gao and Gao Yue.

Later, Duan also thought about it. Anyway, he was also carrying the mission of Yi Mouxun: to find the governor of the Tang army and contact them. This is how "it takes no effort to find it without any effort."

In the tent, Wei Gao and Gao Yue did warmly receive Duan Jinyi and prepared wine and meat to shock the person.

While talking, Wei Gao was the Yunnan governor and pacifying envoy, immediately patted his chest and assured Duan Jinyi: "You are in power in Nanzhao, representing the true thoughts of the King of Yunnan. You can surrender to my Tang family at the critical moment of the battle. How can I not believe this loyalty and Gao Jieshuai? In this way, Gao immediately wrote a letter, detoured by Qiongmen, went to Shimen Road, and then handed it to Yi Mouxun."

Wei Gao kept his word, splashed ink on the spot, and wrote a letter.

Duan Jinyi understands Chinese characters, and only reads Wei Gao's promise in the letter that as long as Yi Mouxun can deviate from Xifan and turn to my Tang family, I, Emperor Tang, would be willing to re-enthrone his qualifications as the King of Yunnan. The two families erected monuments to be friendly forever and communicated with each other. In addition, if Yunnan was invaded by Xifan, the two towns of Dongchuan and Xichuan of the Tang family will send troops to provide assistance, and they are unshirkable. Once the alliance is met, the two families will use Huichuan as the boundary on Qingxi Road and Mahu as the boundary on Shimen Road. The Dongchuan soldiers who besieged Mahu Town this time will immediately write a letter to let them all withdraw, and they will never change from then on.

Wei Gao’s implication is that the ownership of Lizhou and Zhuozhou is never on the negotiating table, and should be the trophies of this war and belong to me, Tang.

But Duan Jinyi had other thoughts, or he represented Nanzhao's intention, which was to try to occupy the natural dangerous state after expelling Xifan, so as to rely on the Dadu River and Qingxi Pass to prevent the Tang Empire.

So Duan Jinyi said, "No need for the two Yuanrongs to mobilize the troops to enter Taicheng, and I, the King of Nanzhao, will immediately cross the Western Lu River and capture the victorious state."

Hearing this, Wei Gao smiled unpredictably.

Gao Yue came forward and said to Duan Jinyi sincerely, "It's good that Xifan has been defeated. Yi Mouxun has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Xilushui, and can capture Sanfu City and Dengtai City."

After Duan left, Gao Yue and Wei Gao laughed at the same time.

Gao Yue picked up Wei Gao's letter just now, and Duan Jinyi also signed it on it to seek Yi Mouxun's belief.

"The signature of Duan Jinyi, the Bohai Yang Xi in my post can be imitated vividly." Then Gao Yue said confidently.

"I can provide silver letters for the letters in Xichuan." Then Wei Gao cut off the candle flowers, "The purpose of our expedition this time has been achieved. Let Nanzhao and Xifan continue to fight in the victories, and wait until next time we will reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Next time, the next time Wei Gao said, Gao Yue had actually reached a tacit understanding with him.

That is, Gao Yue was the only one who ruled the emperor's camp and wiped out the northern side of the Qiang queen.

At that time, the storm would definitely fall into their hands like a ripe apple.
