The next day, Wei Gao looked at Duan Jinyi's letter of agreement last night, and then solemnly put it in the deputy silver letter in front of Duan, carried by ten cavalrymen holding flags. Duan asked twenty subordinates to accompany him to the vast Qiong tribe eastward, where there were detailed roads leading to Shimen Road east of Nanzhao and could avoid the power of Xifan.

Then the Tang army was in the camp on Papaya Ridge, and the horn sounded loudly. Gao Yue and Wei Gao invited Duan Jinyi to watch the Tang army attack the only camp in Xifan that was still defended in Xiaoxianggong Ridge.

Duan Jinyi was surprised when he saw the terrain of Xiaoxianggong Ridge, with only a small fish ridge stone ridge road leading to the main gate of the camp. He was shocked. The Tang army only concentrated more than a thousand soldiers and horses in this kind of jungle. Unless it could fly down to the camp, how could it be seized by manpower?

Wei Gao and Gao Yue are too confident!

As a result, before Duan Jinyi could say anything, he was shocked by the sound of a bang: the Tang army set up several seven-pin cannons in the camp, hundreds of people pulled them, and the arms were raised with the force of the pulling rope, throwing the "Shiwan" in the bullet pocket high, drawing a graceful long arc in the air, and smashing them one after another towards the top of the Xifan Guzhai City in Xiaoxianggongling.

The walls of this camp are about 15 feet high. Every other section, there are wooden fences to guard against the attacking side's flying stones, arrows, and surrounding walls. There are three small battle sheds in the north and south, all facing the Yujiling Road. The soldiers of Xifan were carrying cowhide shields or copper shields, holding the recurved bows, stone casters, or swords and spears in their hands, and lie behind the wall. When they saw the "Shiwan" fired by the seven-pin cannon of the Tang army, several commanders shouted, covering the shields on their heads to defend against gravel damage!

But before the words were finished, the "stone balls" were rolling in the air.

"What's this?"

Before the soldiers at the camp could see clearly, in front of them, the "Shimaru" that had not yet landed, suddenly burst out with a terrible flame and burst out above their heads!

In an instant, thunder seemed to fall from the heads of the Western soldiers.

The seven-pin cannons were not ordinary stone balls, but the real "piercing fire" made by Shudu City and Xingyuan Prefecture. They were made of multiple layers of hemp paper and bamboo paper. They were tied with hemp ropes on the outside, and there were already medicine twists (ignition leads) inside, and the ratio was filled with sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal. They were transported here by oxenlai Pass and transported to it, and mixed with terrible lime.

When they were lifted up to the skin bags of the seven-shot cannon, the medicine was lit, so when they flew to the head of the Xiaoxianggongling camp, they exploded in the air. The thick lime smoke instantly spread across the city. With the flames falling down rapidly, the Xifan soldiers who were screaming in their heads lay down on the city, rolling in pain, and people kept falling down and kicking.

Duan Jinyi from Nanzhao grew up with his mouth, wide eyes, and looked at the Xifan camp covered with fire fog.

Every once in a while, the seven-pin cannon kept shooting the bursting thunder fire in the air, and balls of flames soared into the air. Then the columns of lime tilted down and surging along the battle halls of the city walls and the battle sheds. The shadows could see the painful crawling figures of the Western British soldiers.

But they refused to surrender.

"Enter!" Gao Gu, wearing armor, waved his small flag.

I saw a hundred Tang soldiers, each holding large shields covered with cowhides. The large shields were the size of one person. These soldiers were the first to board every battle. They had no other weapons. This shield was their only reliance. In addition to the shield, the double armor and mask were also their characteristics. Three rows of soldiers formed a heavy and sturdy moving shield wall, blocking the ramps that filled the fish ridge, and slowly approaching the main entrance of the camp.

Behind them were four rushing cars, each with two soldiers pushing them behind the craft. The soldiers next to them made Duan Jinyi full of curiosity. They were in groups of three, and behind the shield of the rushing car, one was dragging a long tube, one was holding a round shield with an arrow, and one was carrying a box.

Further down, there were dense teams of archers, some carrying divine thunder whip arrows that had been brilliant in the war, while some holding ordinary crossbows, probably providing cover for archery.

At this time, in order to prevent accidental injury, the seven-pin cannon had stopped shooting. In the Xiaoxianggongling camp in the smoke, some tenacious soldiers seemed to be organizing and began to shoot arrows at the Tang army that was forcing them to attack.

The three rows of Tang army shield soldiers in the front head raised the huge shield one after another. Xifan's arrows shot on it, but they could not penetrate it. Then a stone was thrown down and hit some Tang army shield soldiers. They shook them several times, but the heavy armor and helmets protected them. In the end, they stood firm on the stone wall of the camp.

The cage officers guarding the soldiers inside wanted the soldiers to open the gate and launch a raid.

However, in the village where the Tang army's seven-pin cannon and thunderbolt fire lime bullets were suppressed, there were not many foreign soldiers who could open their eyes and pick up their weapons and open the door to fight.

Not long after, Duan Jinyi saw four chariots hitting the stone wall that was 1.5 meters high. Tang Bing, holding the pipe, climbed up the chariot. The other person used a shield to block the arrow. The next person took out a burning fire cone from the box and welded it into the back of the pipe.

"Bang", the mouths of four long tubes instantly shot out fierce fireworks more than one meter high, mixed with various iron slags inside, and the armor of the defending Xifan soldiers was stuck in the armor, and they were burning everywhere, and then the poisonous smoke such as arsenic and aconite in the fireworks spread everywhere along the smoke, sweeping across the entire east gate of the city.

"Swish swish swish swish swish swish", countless whip arrows also shot into the stone wall of the camp, and the Xiaoxianggongling camp was surrounded by fire and poisonous fog again...

In the end, more than a hundred people covered with antidotes on their faces and jumped up first, pulled out spears and swords from the chariot, put a simple ladder on the wall, climbed in and rushed in. Most of the foreign soldiers in the inner world lost their ability to resist. In Buddhism, they used their bodies to see the purgatory here.

The soldiers jumped and climbed first, and cut off all the three hundred foreign soldiers in the camp. At this point, the Xiaoxianggongling camp, which occupied the natural danger, had only resisted for half a day before it came to a miserable end.

Wei Gao and Gao Yue also wiped out the divine thunder whip arrows and thunder fire he brought.

Duan Jinyi, the official of Qingping of Nanzhao who was watching the battle, was even more rigid in the mouth and fought against each other.

The horror of the Tang army's new weapons now made him unbelievable.

But no matter what, the demise of all the soldiers of the Xifan soldiers in the Xiaoxianggongling camp gave Lumangre precious time. After he threw himself into the Taishi City, he successfully organized a new defense and said to Ma Dingde with lingering fear: Thanks to listening to your suggestions, there is still a way out.

Ma Dingde immediately reminded that Da Lun immediately went to Sanfu City and led his troops to guard the city. According to my estimate, the Nanzhao army would take advantage of our army's defeat to steal the city.

When the generals of Mangre were still skeptical, they took the scouts in the camps outside Taicheng to arrest the famous scouts, carrying a small silver letter on them.

After the Yin Han opened it, it appeared in Lumangre's eyes. It was indeed a letter written by Wei Gao to Yi Mouxun. In it, the Yun Tang army had already won a great victory in Papaya Ridge. The opportunity for you to resign from the Fan and the independence that you had discussed with me before arrived. You immediately sent troops to capture the siege states, and Tang and Yunnan formed an eternal alliance.

The letter also contains the signature picture of Duan Jinyi, an official in Qingping, Nanzhao.
