Chapter 258: Make a Plan

A Songtsen Gampo is a nobleman in Tibet, the family has a history of hundreds of years, his ancestor was once a great hero, led tens of thousands of people to fight against the enemy, these nobles are not all idle wine bags and rice bags, they have received a good education since childhood, and the ethnic groups of the Central Plains have deep contact, and even learn the advanced civilization of the Central Plains, Songtsen Gampo is like this, he has liked military affairs since he was a child, has read a lot of books on this subject, and has a great reputation in Tibet in terms of arranging troops.

The Tibetan army was soon stationed hundreds of miles away from the three towns.

"General Songtsen, this place is still two hundred miles away from Tianshui, why are we stationed here?"

That Solang was puzzled.

"My lord, this siege battle is the most difficult, Liu Yuetian's occupation of Tianshui can be described as waiting for work, relying on the tall city wall to occupy the advantage, if we want to attack, we can only fight steadily and steadily, and take a protracted war against him, which naturally requires the construction of a camp.

It's the autumn harvest season, and now the first goal is to grab their grain and grass, and as long as we get enough food, we can hold on. ”

Songtsen Gampo spoke out about his plans.

"......... this?"

Solang frowned, he didn't understand war at all, he used to think that it was very simple, wasn't it just that the two sides would start fighting when they met, and whoever had the strongest troops would win, but just now the enemy killed nearly a thousand of his soldiers without losing a single penny, which was completely different from what he imagined, so at this moment he didn't dare to offend Songtsen Gampo too much, but the other party said that he would fight a protracted war, which seemed to be a little different from Gesar's proposition.

"Lord Solang, don't worry, we are constantly fighting the enemy under Tianshui City, then Liu Yuetian is young, he will definitely send troops to fight, and then we will have hope, I am confident that we can occupy Tianshui within a month, so that the adults can make war achievements."

Listening to Songtsen Gampo's words, Solang couldn't help nodding, he didn't know how to fight, and now he could only rely on the other party, the other party was so confident, his heart was also relaxed.

And for Songtsen Gampo, it was too simple to fool a person who did not know anything about the war, and everything went according to his own plan.

"Doron, I order you to lead a team of men and horses to Tianshui to investigate the enemy's situation."

Songtsen Gampo gave an order to his cronie, who nodded and answered, and then took five guards and left the camp with his horses, running in the direction of Tianshui, and Solang didn't care.

At this time, in Tianshui City, Liu Yuetian had already received the flying pigeon from the front.

"What? This Gesar sent so many soldiers over, what did he want to do? ”

The letter said that Gesar had sent thousands of ships, at least more than 10,000 in terms of numbers, which had never happened before.

"Brother Shi, you immediately lead your cavalry to the Three Towns to assist Gao Ying in attacking the enemy!"

The other party is attacking at least 10,000 people, obviously it is not just a matter of grabbing food, it is likely that the other party wants to capture the city, and the three towns only have a few thousand people, and they are at a disadvantage in numbers, so they must be reinforced immediately.

Shi Le did not delay, immediately ordered 5,000 troops, and quickly rushed to the three towns.

At this time, Gao Huan also got the news, and he immediately sent a thousand cavalry out of the city to rush in the direction of Wubao to meet the soldiers in front, and return to the three towns immediately after the two sides converged.

"General, we will attack the other party at the dock fort and kill nearly a thousand enemies on the spot, but there are too many of them, so we can only retreat temporarily."

"Wang Feng, you did the right thing, I wrote down this credit for you, now the lord has sent General Shile to assist us, although the other party has a large number, but it is a good opportunity for us to make meritorious service, you go down and rest first."

A few hours later, Shi Le's 5,000 cavalry arrived at Longchuan Town, and Gao Huan's troops converged, the total strength of the two sides has reached 10,000, Shi Le's cavalry is even more poured out, Gao Huan has long been prepared, this battle is his first battle, must win.

In the middle of the night, several fast horses came outside Longchuan Town, led by Duolong.

"Who?"

Suddenly, dozens of people poured out of the surrounding stone forest, each with torches in their hands, and surrounded the people of Dolong.

"Haha, Tibetan spies, brothers, we have made meritorious contributions!"

The first laughed.

"Heroes, don't use force, we're here to surrender!"

Doron shouted in fright, he didn't want to be shot into a sieve by the powerful crossbow arrows.

"Surrender?"

The leader was stunned, why did the other party surrender before he fought?

"Tie them all up for me!"

At the sound of the order, Duolong and the others were tied up and quickly brought to Gao Huan and Shi Le.

"My lord, the villain's name is Dolong, and he is General Gesar's secret envoy.........!"

Doron told the two of them about Gesar's plan.

"What? Are you right? ”

The commander of the other party actually wanted to defect to Tianshui, which was really unexpected by the two of them.

"Two adults, what the villain said is completely true, Na Gesar has a brutal temperament, even if we can win this battle in Tibet, my general will not end well when he returns to Tianzang City."

The two looked at each other, and it seemed that this Duolong did not seem to be lying.

"Tell the lord immediately!"

A carrier pigeon with a letter soon arrived in Liu Yuetian's hands.

"Oh! Is there such a good thing? ”

Liu Yuetian obviously didn't believe it either.

"Brother Chang, you guard Tianshui, I will personally interrogate that spy!"

Liu Yuetian jumped on the rhubarb and ran towards Longchuan with only three guards.

The strength of the big rhubarb foot is amazing, but it took an hour to arrive in Longchuan Town, a hundred miles away, and it was not yet dawn at this moment, but just a glance, what Duolong thought in his heart was completely known by Liu Yuetian.

"Lord, this time God helps us, the leading generals will surrender, let alone 30,000 horses, even 100,000 horses, we are not afraid."

Shi Le and Gao Huan were really pleasantly surprised.

"Lord, I already have a plan for this battle, let's let that Songtsen Gampo lead troops into this place, let's ambush on both sides, only one ambush is needed, and none of the other party can escape!"

The three of them practiced on the sand table, and Gao Huan pointed to a small valley ten miles away.

Outside Longchuan Town is a flat area, there is not much place to hide, if the two sides are fighting normally, then they can only put on a position to compete for strength, although Liu Yuetian's cavalry is strong, but the two sides are afraid that casualties will inevitably be avoided, but now the general who led the troops on the other side has taken refuge in Tianshui, this battle is a fool can fight, the only thing is to minimize the loss of his side, there is a mountain peak hundreds of meters high in the middle of the river ten miles away, there is a valley below, you can hide the army, as long as the other party enters the valley, the back is blocked, The armies on both sides can use crossbow arrows and bows to destroy each other, and in doing so, the losses can be minimized.

"Well, this is a good plan, then it depends on whether Songtsen Gampo has the ability to persuade the overseer to march like this."

From a military point of view, it is undoubtedly a big taboo to bring a large army into the valley, and anyone who knows a little about military knowledge must be extremely cautious, even if he has to enter the valley, he must send a large number of spies to get a clear picture of the surrounding situation, unless he knows nothing about fighting.

"Dolong, we believe your words, and when you go back, tell Songtsen Gampo and ask him to send soldiers to this valley."

"Yes, don't worry, my lords, I'll tell my general when I go back, this matter will definitely be done!"

Doron kept the location of the valley in mind.
