In the afternoon, Ge Luofeng convened his troops to seriously discuss whether to continue the offensive or retreat to Yaozhou to hold on. The failure of the poisonous miasma attack greatly hit the confidence of the Nanzhao generals, and they had enough of the bows and crossbows of the Jiannan army on the top of the mountain, and more than 6,000 people died in just one morning, who could bear the result?

Most of the Nanzhao generals expressed their attitude with silence, and silence meant to give up the attack on the Jiannan army, and even the two most courageous generals under Ge Luofeng, Ah Bao and Ah Hu, remained silent. Ge Luofeng's mood was greatly affected, and he sighed that at this time and that time, the Battle of Lushui a few months ago swept through the Jiannan Army, but a few months later, there was no way to take the other party's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river with such superior forces.

Ge Luofeng was unwilling, how he hoped that someone would come forward at this time, cheer him up, and offer a strategy to break the enemy, but it was a pity that the generals were silent and demoralized, and it seemed that retreat was the only choice. Otherwise, once the Jiannan army on the other side built a rope bridge to cross the Lushui, their soldiers and horses could only retreat to the mountains and forests, and even Yaozhou could not return. It is still very important to return to Yaozhou, even if you can't keep Yaozhou, Ge Luofeng will sweep away the people and property of Yaozhou. In particular, the population, which is the most scarce and precious resource in Nanzhao, must be taken away completely.

There was a dead silence in the glade, and Ge Luofeng got up and said slowly: "Since you feel that it is hopeless to annihilate the Tang army on the mountain, and my Nanzhao soldiers and horses really can't withstand too many losses, then withdraw the army." ”

The generals secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was not easy to let the lord of the country make this decision, they all knew that the new lord of the country had a tough personality and a firm will, and rarely flinched, and he could judge the situation and make such a decision, which showed that the lord of the country had matured a lot. In the current situation, retreating is the best option, and the lord of the country obviously thinks that this is the right thing in his heart.

The generals got up one after another, and some of them were about to comfort the depressed lord, when they suddenly heard someone sneering at the edge of the woodland: "The dignified army of Nanzhao State does not discuss how to annihilate the enemy when it occupies twice the advantage of troops, but is still here to discuss how to withdraw the army, which is simply ridiculous and generous." Are all the warriors gathered here from my Nanzhao Kingdom? That's a real disappointment. ”

Everyone looked in amazement, but saw a girl in a flower dress walking briskly at the edge of the woodland, the silver ornaments on her head and chest glistening in the sunlight. Everyone knows her, she is Princess Aluo, the favorite princess of Erhai Sea among the people of Nanzhao Kingdom.

"Sister, don't mess around. My brother and the brothers are discussing important matters, so don't come and make trouble. Ge Luofeng frowned and shouted.

"Messing up?" Ah Luo frowned and said, "Ah Luo, what kind of mess did you make?" Is what Arlo said wrong? There are 26,000 people in our army, and the Tang army on the mountain on the cliff side is only more than 10,000, and the lookout posts on the hillside have been proved that the poisonous miasma has caused thousands of Tang troops to be killed, and they have also suffered a lot of losses. Brother didn't think of an offensive strategy, but here he discussed how to retreat?"

"Princess Aluo, don't say that about the lord of the country, the lord of the country is also to preserve his strength. After all, the strength of our soldiers and horses is not as good as that of the Tang army, if too many troops are consumed here, and the Tang army takes Yaozhou and forces it into the border of our Nanzhao country, what can we resist? Ah Leopard smiled.

Ah Luo glared at the phoenix and scolded: "What did you say?" I knew that the strength of the army was not good, so why did I want to start a war with Datang? Now that the war has begun, what retreat do you think? The attack on Yaozhou was instigated by your General Abao, but now you dare not confront the enemy, is this the Abao who you claim to be the first brave general of Nanzhao? I heard that you like me very much, and you have been begging my brother to marry me to you, with your courage, how can I fall in love with you? ”

Ah Leopard was ashamed to death, and the purple tattoos on his face were like earthworms bursting on his face, which was really scary to look at. As a recognized brave general of the Nanzhao Kingdom, under the old lord Pi Luoge, he made countless feats for the rest of the six edicts and the clan of Pingding, and today he was counted down by the favorite princess of Erhai A Luo in public, which is simply a great humiliation.

"Princess Aluo, but if you say a word, I, Ah Leopard, will lead people to attack, and I don't care if I am broken."

"Your allegiance is to my brother, but not to me Luo, I don't dare to tell you what to do." Ah Luo frowned.

Ge Luofeng couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted angrily: "Ah Luo, retreat immediately, what are you going to talk about military affairs?" What do you know? ”

Ah Luo straightened his chest and said: "Brother, of course Ah Luo understands, Ah Luo followed Daddy to fight when Daddy was alive." Although Ah Luo was young at that time, Ah Luo remembered clearly that whenever there was a difficult time, Ah Luo did not give up as easily as you. Daddy will try his best to win, otherwise how could my Nanzhao Kingdom be today? Brother, how can you retreat lightly? ”

Ge Luofeng frowned and said, "In the current situation, how can you not retreat?" The Tang army is condescending to defend with arrows and crossbows, and my poisonous miasma attack is not very effective. Then what else to take to defend Nanzhao and Taihe City? ”

A Luo said: "Brother, you are a wise person, why are you confused today." Ah Mei analyzes and analyzes the situation for you, you and the generals listen to whether it makes sense, if you think it is unreasonable, you will retreat, and Ah Mei will never say much. ”

Ge Luofeng slowly sat down and said, "Okay, then you can talk about it." ”

Ah Luo jumped on a thick stump with the corner of her skirt, and glanced at everyone and said: "Brother, generals, the more than 10,000 Tang troops on the cliff mountain bag crossed the river last night, and now we all know that they must have crossed the river by zipline, because at dawn we saw their zipline fixed on the river beach and the zipline on the opposite bank. That is, in such a situation, they could not have carried much supply. The means of defense of the Don army were mainly arrows. A rough estimate in the morning showed that they had consumed at least half of their arrows. They have no way to replenish their supplies, and their arrows, dry food, water, and so on will only be more and more depleted, which is their Achilles' heel. ”

The generals frowned and listened to Ah Luo's words, and were silent.

"I know what you have in mind is that once the zipline bridge is built, the Tang army will be able to cross the river in a mighty way, and there will be no need to think about supplies. This is exactly what Arlo wants to tell you. The reason why the Tang army smuggled these more than 10,000 soldiers across the river to occupy the mountain bag was to protect the cliff wall below the mountain bag so that they could build rope bridges and plank roads, which was the mission of the more than 10,000 Tang troops. And what we have to do is not to annihilate the more than 10,000 Tang troops, but to prevent them from building rope bridges. Once the construction of the rope bridge was stopped, the Tang army on the mountain bag was defeated, because they lacked the supply of arrows and dry food and water, and they could not survive for three days before they collapsed on their own. Aro said eloquently.

The generals showed surprise on their faces, and they all felt that listening to Ah Luo's words had a sense of seeing the clouds. Indeed, it is unwise to desperately attack the Tang army on the mountain bag, and it is the best way to stop the construction of the cableway trestle.

Ge Luofeng's eyes also lit up, and his face showed joy. I was really confused, and I didn't think of this.

"But, Princess Aluo, how to stop the Tang Army from building a cableway? The more than 10,000 people of the Tang army were used to protect the construction of the rope bridge on the cliff below the mountain wall, and they could not occupy the mountain bag, so they could not stop them from building the rope bridge. General Ah Hu raised a question, which is also a question that many people think of.

A Luo smiled slightly and said: "I said that all the generals were frightened by the Tang army, and they all forgot how our Nanzhao soldiers and horses are good at fighting." Does it have to be attacked from the front to destroy the rope bridge? Don't forget that my Nanzhao people live in the mountains and dense forests all the year round, what kind of cliffs can stop our steps? ”

Ge Luofeng shouted, "I see, what Ah Mei means...... We can climb the cliffs on both sides, but the Tang army can't. We can climb from the cliffs on both sides to the back of the mountain, and then kill people and destroy ropes, and teach the Tang army to work in vain. ”

Princess Aluo smiled and said, "Brother finally understands. ”

"But, won't the Tang Army on the mountain bag be able to spot us?" Ah Hu blinked.

Ge Luofeng laughed and said: "The north side of the mountain bag is a dead end, and the arrows can't be shot, at most they push the stones and roll them down, which may hit our people, but it may also break the rope." In short, even if some people die, the rope bridge will be destroyed. On the front, we can make a feint, shoot arrows at the top of the mountain, lead the Tang army to shoot at us, and consume their arrows. Once the rope bridge is destroyed and the supply of the Tang army on the mountain bag is interrupted, they will be in chaos. Ah Mei, you are still sober-minded, Ah Brother and all the generals are confused, this battle is won, Ah Mei, you are the first to take the lead, I will give you the small island in the Erhai Lake, and build a big garden on it for you. ”

A Luo smiled brightly and said: "I don't dare to ask for credit, I said, I want to shoot an arrow through the head of Wang Yuan, the commander of the Tang Army, and when I shoot him, you will reward me again." ”

Ge Luofeng took Ah Luo's hand and laughed: "What you listen to Ah Mei is, Ah Mei is really a female Zhuge . No wonder Ah Mei is called the national treasure of Nanzhao by the people, and this national treasure can't be exchanged even if it is given thousands of miles. ”
