There were still hundreds of people dead, but the panic caused was still so great, which made Chisong Dezan feel very troubled.

He could ignore it once or twice, but after three times like this, he basically knew what was going on. It must have been arranged by Li Qing for him, and the purpose was quite clear, that is, to destroy the morale of his soldiers.

After thinking quietly for a while, Chi Song Dezan understood that Li Ren wanted to put himself in such a uncomfortable situation. When he wanted to let himself fall into the city of Yaozhou, he no longer had any morale.

However, thinking of this, Chisong Dezan was even more certain, that is, Li Neng must have breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to fight a decisive battle with him. If it weren't for the final battle, Li Neng wouldn't have to spend all his efforts to destroy the morale of his army.

After thinking for a while, Chisong Dezan's order once again, the entire army continued to advance, and he directly told his soldiers that from the place where they are now to the enemy's city, there must be at least two or three such attacks, but after passing these two or three places, it is a pure siege battle.

Chisong Dezan told his soldiers that once they were allowed to reach the city of Yaozhou, the enemy would have to passively defended on the city wall. Although such defense may cause them certain casualties, Yaozhou will definitely be theirs in the end.

He ordered this, and indeed these soldiers had a lot of thought. He didn't know when such an attack would end before, but now, at least he knew about this fact two or three times.

The army moved forward for a while, and indeed they encountered an unexpected sneak attack again. Many soldiers were hooked into the water by hooks stretched out from a river passing by, and there was a scramble among the Tubo army for a while.

However, with Chisong Dezan's words before, every time he received an attack, the remaining soldiers felt more at ease, and they hated the Tang army and the Nanzhao army more.

In their hearts, this time the Tang army was just a clown who was hiding in the dark and only knew how to attack. If it was really a real sword and gun, they would kill the Tang army and the Nanzhao army, just like cutting melons and vegetables.

Now these Tubo soldiers wished that they could go to Yaozhou immediately and attack Yaozhou with the siege equipment they snatched from the Tang people. What was going on with the Tang army that had nowhere to hide when they saw it?

With this emotion, before arriving at the moat of Yaozhou City, the Tubo army experienced five raids and plots in total.

Li Yan had already given them the name for these five raids, that is, to pass the five levels.

Only after passing these five levels can the Tubo people have the opportunity to attack Yaozhou City. This is what Li Neng said to his soldiers.

Looking at Yaozhou, which was so close, whether it was Chisong Dezan or his soldiers, fire immediately emerged from his eyes.

The battle has reached this moment, and the Tang army still has no intention of leaving the city to fight with them for a while.

Such a battle is actually different from the battles that the Tubo people are used to. The enemies they want to encounter must be going out of the city and facing them head-on. Even if their troops do not have an advantage, they also want such an enemy, instead of seeing the defenders' small heads from afar on the city wall, and wanting to cut off their heads, they can only find a way to get on the city wall first.

Chisong Dezan observed the various gates and walls of Yaozhou, and then issued the final orders to several generals under his command outside the land of Yaozhou City.

"Remember, the Yaozhou City wall is also solid. With my research on Li Yong, the King of Jianning of the Tang Dynasty, they almost impossible for us to have the opportunity to rush in through the city gate. So your chance is to go through which ladders to go up the city wall and then open the city gate from inside. This is why I asked you to attack from the four city gates together. Only in this way can they not care about one of the sides in the city. At the beginning, our army will suffer great damage, but don't worry! The enemy's defense equipment must not be sufficient. As long as we can strengthen the intensity of the siege, it will be a matter of time before Yaozhou is broken!"

Chisong Dezan obviously gave his soldiers a reassurance. Seeing that the generals' confidence had risen, Chisong Dezan nodded slightly, and then told them not to let the Tang army destroy the ladder from the city wall. This is the key to whether their siege can succeed. Even if the lives of some soldiers were sacrificed, they must be saved.

After saying this, the Tubo people's siege began. No matter how many times they were, they would not set up any too complicated formations. They just divided the soldiers into several waves, each wave into four parts, and started attacking the four walls directly.

At this moment, the pressure on the Tang army defending the city was too great. They didn't think that the Tubo people could spare so many casualties and directly attack Yaozhou from all sides at the same time. However, now it seems that the Tubo people are really doing this.

Fortunately, Li Yong had similar deployments of troops in the direction of the four city gates, so there was nothing he could not accept such an attack. Otherwise, if he could directly climb the city wall on three sides, this battle would be almost impossible to fight.

"Prince, the Tubo people are really willing to spend a lot of money. There are at least three or five thousand troops attacking the city walls on these four sides at all times. If this continues, it may be more difficult for us to continue!"

Zhang Xun, who had been observing around outside, made a rough estimate of the strength of the enemy and us, immediately came over and informed Li Peng about the news.

"In your opinion, how long can we hold this city wall?"

"At least three days, as long as five days, a large number of Tubo people will attack the city wall. If we cannot take measures to counter them before this, it is better to withdraw on the third day. At least at this time, their casualties are the greatest, and our casualties are the least. If we do the same in the next city, we may be able to consume a large number of enemy troops when we arrive in Yizhou!"

Zhang Xun obviously had come up with such a solution, and he believed that doing so was almost their only feasible strategy now.
