Gar Dongzan saw that a large number of slaves had been consumed, which was considered to be a preliminary goal, but the most important thing was the elite of the tribe, but there was no fool who could be the patriarch, and it was impossible for him to watch from behind and attack by himself.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Songzhou City has been attacked continuously for many days, and has been harassed day and night, the Tang army is tired, starting tomorrow, attack with all your might, you must break the city, think about the wealth of the Tang Dynasty, after the city is broken, let it be plundered." In the big tent, Gar Donzan tempted.

"Prime minister, we have been attacking for many days, I'm afraid it's hard to do it." Outside of Songtsen Gampo, the largest drinking family, drinking Kumaro, said in a strange way.

"Drink the patriarch is right! His subordinates were all tired, and so many Gui people died (Gui, a name for Tibetan slaves, refers to slaves who joined the army, and ordinary slaves are called Yong!). Other patriarchs chimed in.

There was a hint of murder in Gar Dongzan's eyes, and he disappeared for a moment, and said with a smile: "Of course, tomorrow you will attack the other three sides, and the front will be handed over to the prime minister, but it is best not to secretly save your strength, if the Tang reinforcements arrive, you will not have any benefits." ”

"Of course! Of course! We will do our best. A group of people led by Kumoro hurriedly agreed, after all, Gar Dongzan was right, when the Tang reinforcements arrived, they became stealing chickens and rice, and the wealth of the Tang Dynasty made them yearn for it very much.

Usually change wine, porcelain, silk, etc. need to use cattle and sheep, now free in the city, how can they not be tempted, according to the legend of Tubo, the people of the Tang Dynasty use fine porcelain, wearing silk, there is endless liquor, endless food, thinking of the city there are mountains of wealth, this group of greedy patriarchs on the eyes of the bright.

…………

Gar Dongzan didn't know that the Tang reinforcements he was talking about had come to the vicinity one after another, but because of the distance and proximity, they had not yet arrived.

Gao Yongsheng, Jiu Jiluosheng, Zheng Yuan Wang Shou, Li Daoyan, Wei Xiaojie, and Xue Wanshu had all rushed to the vicinity of Songzhou, adding up to 35,000 soldiers, and they only approached Songzhou after the convergence.

And this time it was not only these nearby government soldiers who came, but also the 30,000 Nanyang and other places led by Wei Chigong, Xue Wanjun, and Cheng Mingzhen to recruit and train soldiers.

As for why Wei Chigong appeared in Shuzhong, this is also because Lingnan is too far away, and it took more than a month to transport the soldiers there, so Li Jing arranged for Wei Chigong to be the main general, Xue Wanjun, and Cheng Mingzhen as deputy generals to come to Shuzhong to support.

After all, there is no shortage of generals in other places, and there are no poor candidates for the army, and the only people from Lingnan are Feng Daijin, Liu Renshi, and Cheng Wuting, which makes Li Jing feel at ease.

"See Eguo Gong! General Xue Wanshu, the farthest governor of Liangzhou, has arrived, and now the people have arrived, should they continue to camp or make other arrangements? Please also order. Cheng Wuting entered the big tent, looked at the few people who were studying the map, ignored his father, and said to Wei Chigong with a fist.

"Good! When the order is finally reached, the herald rests on the spot, sets off in an hour, approaches Songzhou before sunset, and launches a surprise attack early tomorrow morning! "Wei Chigong has already discussed with the others in the past few days, and as long as they are together, they will approach Songzhou, and make a surprise attack to relieve the siege of Songzhou, not to mention the complete elimination of the Tubo army, at least they will be defeated.

As for why he didn't approach Songzhou in advance, this also means that if the people didn't arrive, they should not act rashly, and if they got too close, they would be easily discovered by the Tibetan spies.

"The last general understands!" Cheng Wuting hugged his fists again, turned around and went out to give orders.

"Ling Gongzi and you really come out of the same mold, and at a glance, you know that you will definitely have a great future in the future." Xue Wanjun looked at Cheng Wuting who was leaving, and congratulated Cheng Mingzhen.

"Thank you, General Xue, for the compliment." Cheng Mingzhen has never been smiling, and he still has a rare happy smile when others praise his son.

"He's a good boy! There will be something to be done in the future. Wei Chigong also pretended to be on the side.

"Come to the house, go down to greet you, and lose your company first." Xue Wanjun shook his head amusedly.

"Go together, go together!" Although he is leading the army, the etiquette should not be rude, the three brothers of the Xue family are not low, no one can take it lightly, and a few people are out of the big tent together.

welcomed Xue Wanshu into the big tent, except for the junior characters, everyone else was familiar with each other, so it was natural to have a conversation, and then introduced the results of the discussion and asked for his opinion.

Xue Wanshu is Xue Wanjun's eldest brother, obviously older, and the age difference between the brothers is quite large, but they are both military generals, they still look mighty and strong, and they are tall, so they naturally don't have many opinions on the plan discussed earlier.

At this time, the city of Songzhou was attacked by the Tubo for many days, and it was constantly harassed day and night.

This is also the weakness of the defending side, although the defense is said to have a city to occupy the geographical advantage, but when to attack depends on others, and the advantage of this day is not obtained.

And because of being trapped in the city, it is very difficult to sneak out of the city to attack, after all, no one will be fools, and if no sentry is arranged, it can be said that as soon as the city gate is opened, or a large army goes out of the city, it will be discovered immediately.

Gar Dongzan is not only a political master, but also not weak in military ability, constantly attacking Songzhou City, feints, and pretending to be sneak attacks at night, anyway, it is not to let the people in the city have a good rest, and rocket siege and digging tunnels are also used one by one.

Fortunately, Li Xiaogong and Niu Jinda are not weak, the two take turns to guard, and Datang is an expert in fire prevention, since the discovery of oil, defending the city, as well as some important places, not only prepare clean water to extinguish fires, but also fine sand and soil.

The Tibetan rocket siege was easily extinguished, and the tunnel siege was difficult to escape the "ground listening" (buried in the ground with a large vat, covered with cowhide, and monitored by a special person. Instead, hundreds of people died.

Transporting people to dig the corners of the wall with a cart, they were smashed to pieces by huge rolling stones and logs, and the siege ladder attacked the city, and there were "fork rods" to push it.

For several days in a row, the two sides made their moves, and Li Xiaogong didn't expect Gar Dongzan to be so proficient in siege, obviously he had studied the military books of the Central Plains, and he was guided by a famous teacher.

Fortunately, Li Xiaogong and Niu Jinda are also veterans of the battlefield, and they have seen a lot of various tricks, and they are well prepared.

"Chief, these brothers came in from outside the city at night and said they wanted to see you!" A team of patrolmen with four soldiers wearing Tang military uniforms walked not far from Li Xiaogong to report.
