Chapter 215 The Turtle

Li Wei turned his head and looked at his princess like a curious baby. He suddenly started to catch and said, "Nothing can be told."

The prince didn't say anything, Pei Xingjian couldn't force the prince to say anything, but the little girl pouted, and looked at her again, obviously not wanting to tell herself.

...

She temporarily did not see the prince's trick, and the next day she had a normal style of fighting. She built a floating bridge on all the rivers outside the city, and then re-established the camp. The two gates in the north and south were the center of gravity, and some soldiers were divided into two smaller camps on the east and west sides. This was a side response. At the same time, the rebels in the city were really blocked in the city. But the contact could not be stopped. It was not that Wang Mang, when the battle of Kunyang in Xinhan, Xinhan, hundreds of thousands of people besieged Kunyang, and the army of Luo Shengyan was only 17,000. Moreover, Luo Shengyan was going back. It was impossible to surround Yaozhou so that it was blocked. The terrain outside the city was very complicated. If it was at night, the scouts could still contact the outside world if they put down the rope from the top of the city.

In the afternoon, Luo Shengyan led his men back to Erhai Lake. The Tang army began to build bridges again, and asked the prisoners to mount them directly from the Qingluo River to the city gate. This was within the range of bows and arrows of the soldiers guarding the city, and it was a bit dangerous. The floating bridge gradually took shape, and suddenly a bunch of arrows was released from the top of the city. Several prisoners were caught in arrows and fell into the river, trying to escape back. The Tang army behind them held bows and arrows to guard them. They had to shout at the city wall that we were our own people and could not shoot.

It doesn't work much, and the arrows on the top of the city are more dense.

The princess said, "Crown Prince, you said you would treat prisoners well, so you can do this..."

"Little girl, you're so soft-hearted," Li Wei patted her shoulder, his movements a little intimate, but the princess was amused and crying. This intimacy had nothing to do with the intimacy between men and women. This pat was like a slap on his brother or his shoulder. They all said that he was very beautiful, but...

Qi Xuli was too worried, and the princess was planning to abandon the tiger with her body, but this tiger was impossible to eat.

Li Wei said again: "Do you want to attack the city?"

"want."

"So should these floating bridges be built?"

"want."

"That's it. Don't need these prisoners to build a floating bridge. Should you let Gu's soldiers go to build a buckle? Besides, did you see the pile of bones in the village yesterday, and have you ever thought about your tribe members. Gu did this so well and be kind to them." He said half-truely. But yesterday annoyed him. The war was very ruthless, and he was also sending prisoners to the Central Plains. It was not that the country was large, the Tubo population was not large, and the Tang Dynasty was not large, but the land was hoarded in the hands of a few people, and it had nothing to do with the population. Even if a mu of land yields only two stones, a place as big as the court would not let 30 to 40 million people starve. Although it caused damage to the local area, it was the right way to do it from the perspective of Tubo. However, it should not be massacred for the old and the weak.

This does not conform to his previous life's thoughts and views.

In fact, it can be more humane, such as giving them some shields to cover them, and they were dozens of meters away. It would not have been shot to death like now. But the princess obviously didn't understand and was speechless after hearing it.

Hundreds of prisoners were sacrificed, and six floating bridges were set up. There was still no attack. On the third day, the Tang Dynasty army continued to train troops. Although there were many rebels in the city, they were just a bunch of mobs. The real enemy did not arrive. The combat effectiveness of this army was not too strong. Training was necessary. However, the soldiers were asked to go out of the city to cut back many plants, spread them with horse manure, and put them on the ground to dry them. After a day of drying, they piled up again. On the morning of the fourth day, they looked at the wind direction and it was southeast wind. Li Wei rode his horse to Nanying and gathered the army. He prepared shields, ladders, and tower cars, and was about to attack the city.

But before siege, the half-dried shrubs, weeds and horse manure were placed by the river, lit with the tongue of flame, and the soldiers began to beat the drums. After a while, the weeds began to burn, not very dry, and many vegetation smelled spicy. Thick smoke drifted to the top of the city by the wind. A cough came from the top of the city, and it was impossible to see it. I heard the sound of war drums outside the city, so I covered my nose and closed my eyes and panickedly put the bows and arrows, woods, and stones down the city together.

After a long time, there was no movement of the Tang Dynasty army under the city, and the smoke gradually dissipated. Seeing the Tang army standing outside the river, they bent down and laughed. It was just a fake attack, but it had consumed a large amount of defending equipment for no reason.

In the afternoon, I came again and knew that it might be fake, but what if it was real? A large amount of supplies were consumed.

The princess thoughtfully and said, "Crown Prince, is this your way to attack the city?"

“That’s right, how?”

"It's a good idea." The princess was not convinced. She had to build a pontoon bridge and could attack the city at any time. As long as the bows, stones, and wood that were guarding the city were used up, the enemies who guarded the city could only fight hand-to-hand combat to defend the city and hand-to-hand combat. Can the enemies in the city still win?

The enemies in the city also saw that at night, the night fog was coming. At the fourth o'clock in the morning, they looked at the Tang Dynasty army camp without movement. The city gate was opened, not for the attack on the camp. The battle of Qiulongdu and Liang Jishou's previous two battles, and these barbarians were heartbroken. Even if they told them that the Tang army was all asleep now, the attack on the camp had no courage. This was to pick up the weapons thrown under the city. While moving them into the city, they listened carefully to the other party's movement. The fog was a little heavy, and they did not notice it. The courage was a little stronger again, and more soldiers rushed out.

Suddenly, countless torches were illuminated, and one by one was not good at calling each other. Intuition made them run towards the city gate. It was too late, and countless arrows were raining across a moat. The generals guarding the city called to pass the city gate and pass the city gate. Regardless of whether there were any subordinates outside, there were many cavalry inside the Tang army. At this time, ten cities gates would be lost. No matter how many things were picked up, five or six hundred subordinates were damaged, and the soldiers in the city were even more jealous.

On the fifth day, the grass was cut and then attacked with fire. In the afternoon, the soldiers guarding the city began to relax gradually, and were stingy with the equipment to guard the city. The rolling stones and wood were gradually reduced. But no one dared to take advantage of the night to pick them up again in the city. The sixth morning came again, and this time it seemed to be a real thing. Teams of Tang soldiers covered their noses with towels and rushed in.

"Crown Prince, are you going to attack the city?"

"No, the siege is too heavy now, and it is still a loss, but it gives them an illusion."

The Tang army tiptoed in the smoke, and the ladder was also placed on the city wall. The soldiers on the city were closing their eyes together. Suddenly, they heard the shouts of their companions from their ears, shouting one by one: "The Tang army has attacked the city." Hearing this, the enemies in the city were in chaos, but there were "experts" who were in charge and immediately ordered the soldiers to reinforce. Seeing this situation, the Tang army killed hundreds of enemies guarding the city, so they had to retreat from the city wall, but cut off the cables of the suspension bridge.

There is already a floating bridge. Whether the suspension bridge is released or not is the nature of the nature. The city gate has not been opened or entered the city. Even if the city gate is opened and the army cannot rush in, the enemy still has the opportunity to close the city gate again. But the princess asked in confusion: "Prince, why didn't we send more troops just now?"

What a pity, what a good opportunity.

"You don't know the situation in the city. The enemy inside blocked the city gate with mud bags. If you want to open the city gate, you need to move these mud bags, and you have to fight hard, and you have to sacrifice heavily, and you don't want to."

"They want to be turtles?"

"The turtle is good, it can live long," said Li Wei, after saying that, he also smiled bitterly. There is also a dangerous city wall and a green river. When the enemy stays in the city, it is indeed difficult to have a good way to be a turtle with a head-reducing turtle. Unless it is a strong attack, it is not time to attack now.

It was not without benefits. This sudden attack by the Tang army scared the enemy in the city. Then when they burned again, regardless of whether there were Tang soldiers under the city walls, countless stones and woods were smashed down desperately again. On the seventh day, they began to smash the beams and tiles. There was no way, so they had to demolish the houses in the city. But the Tang army was suffering. If they stayed for a day, they would lose more food for one day. Perhaps the houses in the city were not demolished, so the Tang army had to retreat on their own.

So he added another fire and asked the soldiers to rush to the outside of the city, drink, sing, and dance. He would do whatever he despise people's actions, and even put the woman's clothes on the flagpole and insert them beside the floating bridge. But the rebels in the city just couldn't stand it.

After one day, Li Wei asked the army hidden in the camp to come out, and there was no need to play, and there was no effect in playing. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's really a turtle."

The princess giggled and stood among the spring flowers. The smile was very beautiful. She looked at the prince, looking at her with a light cloud and a confident look. It was hard to see him having such a turtle-eating expression. However, there were also plans. When the night came, she began to dig tunnels in the camp. After digging for two nights, she almost dug out a dungeon, and then put wooden boards and mud on it. The soldiers stepped on it, and stopped without any trace.

"Prince, what are you doing?"

"I have a brilliant plan."

"Can you tell me?"

"No. Be good, go back to study, some of them can ask, and some of them can't ask," Li Wei was not angry either. Besides, with the contribution, and the bright and charming, people couldn't get angry.

The princess blinked her cunning eyes and left.

On the second day, the answer finally came out. Li Wei asked three thousand soldiers to enter the tunnel with full arms, and then hid the traces. The army began to rectify the camp, and then threw the remaining dead grass under the city wall across the river, setting a fire. There were many squids under the city wall, and with these dead grass, the two gates immediately burned. The soldiers on the city wall had to retreat one by one. Then they ordered the soldiers to set off. The army set off south.

"Prince, I understand what you are going to do."

"What do you want to do?"

"The Mengshezhao tribes in the southwest Erhai Lake are still being suppressed by these people. Prince, once you lead your army to leave, the enemy in the city must think that you can't capture Yaozhou City, so it's better to wipe out the Erhai Lake battle first. In fact, you didn't plan to go to Erhai Lake, but just gave them an illusion. When they think your army is away, open the city gate and relax their vigilance, three thousand warriors will come out from the ground and seize the city in one fell swoop."

Don’t think that there are many rebels in the city, which are already robbed. Another group of mobs. Once the three thousand Tang troops enter the city, there is no need for a large army to come to reinforce. It is also possible to seize Yaozhou City in an instant.

"This time I finally got you guessed."

The army went west, but entered the deep mountains and ridges, stopped immediately, found a valley to set up a camp again. Then he sent a scout out to inspect. After a while, the scout came back to report: "Your Highness, the enemy has opened the city gate, but he is very careful to move the stones under the city wall back to the city again."

"Well, let's investigate and report again." Li Wei said with his eyes closed. This is certain. Even if he really arrived in Erhai Lake, he would still have to come back to attack the city after quelling the rebellion. However, he just moved the stones back, and the other woods and arrows burned all the fires, one south and one north.

After a while, the scout came over and reported: "Your Highness, they closed the city gate again."

"Well, let's investigate and report again," Li Wei was still very calm. The enemy was scared and left, so they would be careful.

In the evening, the scouts came back and reported: "They connected the iron cables of the suspension bridge."

"Yes, let's report again."
