"Kill!" The Tang army rushed to the city wall with the siege ladder, and the archers in the distance put a few rounds of arrow rain to suppress the Tubo soldiers at the head of the city, and the Tang army came to the front with the siege ladder, set up the siege ladder, and without saying a word, climbed the city wall with weapons.

It's a pity that the Tubo people are not vegetarians, and they have defeated the Tang army's siege countless times in the past few days. Each time, the Tang army only used about 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the momentum slogan was shouted loudly, but the efficiency of the siege was not very good.

Before he climbed the city wall, he just waved his weapons and made a fuss, and the two sides began to retreat without a few deaths, and so on, and this has been going on such a strange offensive and defensive atmosphere for the past few days.

Because the Tubo people suffered a big loss several times out of the city to meet the enemy, they roughly understood the combat strength of the Tang army, so they did not dare to go out of the city easily, but just cowered on the city wall to resist the attack of the Tang army.

Many of the Tibetan army are herdsmen, although there are many people in Songtsen Gampo, but they do not dare to squander the lives of his subordinates at will, the losses so far alone make him feel distressed, not to mention the loss of soldiers and horses, it is estimated that he will not be able to slow down in Tubo for more than ten years, which will even endanger his rule!

So now, Songtsen Gampo has the intention of retiring from the army.

"Prime Minister, in this form, do we still have to defend Songzhou City?" The young Songtsen Gampo stood at the head of the city, looking worriedly at the Tang army screaming under the city wall.

This Tang Army seems to be much more difficult than he imagined, and it is not at all comparable to the deadly residual combat effectiveness of Tuguhun's scum.

He now seemed to understand a little bit of the envoy's description to him of the Tang army's combat effectiveness during the military exercise, if it weren't for this city wall, the 140,000 people in Songtsen Gampo's hands might not be able to defeat the more than 40,000 soldiers and horses outside!

Judging from the experience of repeatedly suffering losses, the Tang Army's equipment, army quality, and war cooperation are enough to play the battle of Tibet, and it is not impossible to defeat three enemies with one.

And the 140,000 troops under his command are almost the old capital of Tibet! Now the tribes left in Tubo are almost all old, weak, sick and disabled, if this army loses everything, Tubo will really be finished!

Lu Dongzan said with a smile: "Don't worry, Zampu, this is the Tang army's tired strategy, through the continuous siege of the city to make our soldiers feel tired, and then take advantage of our slack in one fell swoop, in my opinion, we can divide the soldiers into batches, a group to defend the city, a group to rest, anyway, our number is superior to the Tang army, the difference in combat strength is not particularly large, it is not a problem to hold Songzhou City." ”

"What the prime minister said makes sense, but I'm worried that if we continue like this, will we fight the Tang Army to the death? What if more Tang troops attack? ”

At the mention of this, Lu Dongzan, who has always been resourceful, was speechless for the time being, and the two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and were silent.

"Let's take one step at a time, as long as Songzhou City is still in our hands, it will be a good bargaining chip for us, maybe the envoys sent to Chang'an will bring good news."

Thinking of the envoy sent to Chang'an, Songtsen Gampo's face turned cloudy and clear, and he laughed loudly: "Haha, yes, if you can talk about family affairs, then Songzhou City is not impossible to let out, anyway, this is just a dead city for us!" ”

Lu Dongzan looked at Songtsen Gampo laughing, pursed his lips, and some words were still not said in the end.

However, Songtsen Gampo discovered Lu Dongzan's thoughts and took the initiative to speak: "The prime minister scolded me in my heart for not knowing how to be powerful, and I only wanted to ask for marriage? ”

Lu Dongzan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded silently.

"Hahaha! Prime Minister, Prime Minister, I always thought you were an open-minded person, but this time, it was you who fell in love. Songtsen Gampo laughed, but an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.

Lu Dong was puzzled, bowed down and asked, "What does Zampu mean by this?" The old man is willing to listen. ”

Lu Dongzan squinted his eyes and looked to the east, revealing a yearning look: "Because the Tang Dynasty is too powerful!" It's not just the army that's strong, it's their culture, their goods! You see! ”

Songtsen Gampo pointed to the Tang army at the foot of the city wall and said to Lu Dongzan: "Look at the armor they wear and the equipment they bring, and look at us again!" ”

The Tang army was all in bright light armor, and a soldier carried several weapons. Spears, bows and arrows, knives or swords, short knives, medicines, etc.

Look at the Tibetan soldiers, tattered sheepskin clothes, a wooden spear, a sharp stone on it, even if it is a weapon, or some people do not even have a weapon, only a bare wooden stick, or a sharpened wooden dart gun. Less than half of the soldiers were holding real guys in their hands, and even so, they were dressed more like a group of Hanako than the Tang Army.

Seeing this scene, Lu Dongzan seemed to understand Songtsen Gampo's intentions, he finally changed his gaze, looked at Songtsan Gampo, and before he could speak, he heard him sigh: "The Tang Dynasty is so good, their iron tools, their grain, and their silk and cotton cloth are all that we don't have in Tubo, if you marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, you can introduce these things to Tubo, perhaps, Tubo will become different." My people don't have to go to herd sheep and horses, they have food to eat when they are hungry, cotton cloth to wear when they are cold, and iron tools to use, and children can learn knowledge, so that the country can become more and more prosperous......"

Songtsen Gampo paints a very beautiful picture of life, at least in the eyes of him and Lu Dongzan.

In the past hundreds of years, Tibet has never communicated with the Central Plains as usual, and many people don't even know what kind of place Tibet is, and similarly, the people of Tibet don't know how wonderful the outside world is.

Therefore, when the Tibetan people go out of the plateau to understand the outside world, they are like a child who has just come out of the mountains and comes to the big city, and is suddenly impressed by the outside world.

Everything is too beautiful outside, and my own family is too backward, what should I do? Learn! Learn their advanced technology! So Songtsen Gampo wanted to express his meaning to the Tang King euphemistically through such a way as harmony.

It's a pity that Li Shimin didn't appreciate it, so Songtsen Gampo's enthusiasm turned into hatred and launched this war.

As for why he didn't bow down to the Tang Dynasty, but chose to be close to... What's this... Who knows what little Jiujiu Songtsen Gampo hides in his heart!

"Zampu has a big heart, and the old minister can't reach it!" Lu Dongzan bowed respectfully to Songtsen Gampo to express his respect.

He also didn't have the intention of opposing at the beginning, and from now on, he will do his best to help Songtsen Gampo, and he must promote a family affair with Datang!

On the city wall, two men are hypocritical and crooked with each other. Under the city walls, the Tang army was attacking the city on the surface, but in fact, it was building something behind the scenes......

"Tiger? How is it a tiger? What about the Trojan horse? Chen Fei couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw the behemoth in front of him, the Trojan Horse Trick had become a Wooden Tiger Scheme? Will all future Trojan viruses be renamed Trojan Tiger Virus?

"What's wrong? The wooden tiger looks even more powerful! Cheng bit Jin and picked his ears, looked at Muhu, and seemed to be very satisfied with the craftsmanship of the craftsman. Yes, this tiger is very powerful! To Lao Tzu's appetite! ”

Chen Fei......

You can just be happy, it's not for this thing anyway, but... Thinking that the Trojan horse had turned into a wooden tiger, he still felt strange in his heart, it seemed... I always feel a little twisted...

No, it's very twisted!

I'm working overtime today, I'm even late, forgive me!
