Chapter 83 With the strong combat power of the Tang army, if it attacks after the siege, it will destroy Tubo in a battle, and the reason why the Tang army does not attack and does not fight with Tubo is to consume the food of Tubo, starve Tubo to the point that it has no strength, and even starve to death.

The advantage of this is that there are fewer casualties. If the war starts as soon as it comes, and Tubo fights the trapped beasts, the Tang army will have to pay at least 50,000 yuan. If the Tibetans were so hungry that they ran out of strength to attack the city, they would definitely control the casualties within 10,000, which would reduce the casualties by 40,000.

This is still a very conservative estimate, according to Li Changguo's estimate, if Tubo is destroyed while it still has combat strength, it should pay 70,000 or 80,000 casualties. In other words, the siege strategy can reduce the casualties by sixty or seventy thousand.

The disadvantage of the siege is that it is too long, and the Anxi Protectorate may not be able to hold on. If the time comes when they have to attack, Li Changguo will attack resolutely. However, it has not yet reached such a time, and it is still dominated by siege.

The current Luo Qi fire came too timely, and it actually burned the food of Tubo, that is to say, the time for Tubo to hold on will be greatly shortened, and it can buy extremely valuable time for the Tang army.

Such a beautiful thing, Li Changguo and they were not happy, and they all opened their mouths and were happy.

"Dashuai, let's hurry up and attack the city."

"Yes, in the past, the reason for not attacking the city was to reduce casualties, but now is a good opportunity, don't miss it."

The generals rubbed their hands and shouted for their lives.

The current Luo is in a mess, if the Tang army attacks, it will definitely be able to break through Tubo, and the war against Tubo will be over, and the Tang army can return to the division and prepare to march into the Western Regions, which is a supreme thing, Ge Shuhan was also excited, looked at Li Changguo and asked: "Prison army, what do you think?" ”

"This ......" Li Changguo's heart is also pounding, such a good opportunity is very rare, if you miss it, you will definitely regret it. However, Li Changguo had to think clearly, and said in a deep voice: "I don't mean it's better not to attack the city." ”

"Overseer, are you confused?" The generals rebuked in unison.

"Don't be in a hurry, let the prison guard finish speaking." Ge Shuhan knew Li Changguo very well, and he must have his reasons for saying this.

"Our siege of the city is to consume the combat power of Tibet, and although it is chaotic at the moment, its combat power is still there. If we attack the city, we will definitely fight the Tibetans, and there will definitely be no fewer casualties. Li Changguo analyzed.

"Hmm." Ge Shuhan, Li Bai, Guo Ziyi, and Li Guangbi nodded heavily.

For the Tang Dynasty, this fire was beneficial but harmless, but it also showed that the combat power of the Tibetan army was not weakened. Because they still have a lot of jerky, otherwise they wouldn't be so stinky.

"Moreover, the current Western Regions has not yet reached the point where we can no longer hold on, if we give up the siege strategy and attack on a large scale now, our previous siege will be in vain." Li Changguo then analyzed: "With this fire, I believe that in less than a month, the strength of Tubo will be greatly weakened, and at that time, we will be able to attack." ”

"A month's time to exchange the surnames of tens of thousands of soldiers, we can afford to wait." Guo Ziyi was the first to echo.

"I estimate that if we attack now, we will have to pay thirty or forty thousand casualties anyway, which is not cost-effective." Li Bai has already calculated the numbers.

"I really want to attack now, but I still agree with the opinion of the prison army." Li Guangbi nodded heavily, and his voice was a little high: "It is cost-effective to change the surnames of thirty or twenty thousand soldiers in a month, it is too cost-effective." ”

Ge Shuhan nodded heavily, exhaled a breath of turbidity, the light in his eyes flashed, and said, "Since this is the case, then don't attack." However, we can't do nothing, and take this opportunity to give Zampu a generous gift, so that he doesn't have time to put out the fire, and it is better to reduce the law to ruins. ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Ge Shuhan is worthy of being a famous general, and he is very able to grasp the fighter, Li Changguo, Guo Ziyi, Li Bai, and Li Guangbi praised it in unison.

"Order, the army out of the camp and prepare to attack the city." Goshuhan ordered loudly.

Then there was a mysterious smile: "We put on the appearance of attacking the city, so that Zamp's heart is frightened, but we will not attack the city." Of course, in order to act more realistically, the city is attacked from time to time. ”

"Also, we don't care about the burning side, we just don't care about the burning area here. Don't we have the oil of the fiery fire? Take this opportunity to set some more fire to Law. Li Changguo smiled brightly, but everyone's feeling was very gloomy.

"Overseer, you're falling into the ground, not upright enough, but we like it." The generals burst into laughter.

The order was handed down, and the Tang army drove out of the camp and lined up outside the city, preparing to attack the city.

For this order, Tang Jun was overjoyed, and his ass was overjoyed.

"Mother, it's finally time to attack the city, I'm looking forward to it, I'm looking forward to it."

"When I arrived at Luo, I was eating meat, drinking wine, sleeping and playing polo all day, suffocating me, or killing the Tibetan dog."

"Now this fire is really raining in time, we can take the opportunity to attack the city and take down the city in one fell swoop."

Tang Jun raised his eyebrows and talked loudly, even happier than the New Year.

"Long live the Tang Dynasty." The battle horn sounded and shook the sky.

In the Hongshan Palace, the ministers were busy around Dezuzan for a while, and finally woke up Dezuzan.

Ji Dezuzan woke up, tears poured out like a spring, covered his face with his hands, and sobbed: "Heaven, heaven, you are going to kill me in Tibet, you thief to the sky." ”

The ministers' hands and feet were cold, and they only felt that the sky was spinning, and the sky was about to collapse.

"Zampu, this is not the time to be depressed, you have to think of remedies." is still the most sober, busy reminding De Zuzan.

"My heart is in turmoil. Comment, what do you say, what should we do now? "De Zuzan stared at Xiao Yan.

"Zampu, the minister thought that he would send troops immediately, and while suppressing the bullets, he would put out the fire." Xiao Tan was also calm, and began to come up with ideas: "The method of fighting the fire is not difficult, and the place that is already on fire can only be given up, and the houses and tents where the fire will pass are demolished first." ”

It's definitely a good idea, and no one has any objections.

"Although what the little talk said is reasonable, but what Ben Zampu is most worried about is the Tang army, if the Tang army takes this opportunity to attack, the Great Tubo will be in danger." Ji Dezu Zan frowned, helpless.

Such confusion is a good opportunity for the Tang army to attack, and the Tang army will definitely not miss it. In that case, there will be fire and chaos inside the Logo, and a strong enemy outside, and they will soon perish.

These words were like a thunderbolt in the middle of a group of ministers, all of them trembling and very afraid.

"Don't worry." Xiao Lun comforted Dezu and praised: "The Tang army besieges but does not attack, that is, it is to consume our dried meat and weaken our combat power. ”

"It makes sense." The person who praised the judgment of the Emperor Dezu pondered slightly and recognized the judgment of the small theory.

"Whew." The Tang army is the biggest trouble in Tubo, as long as the Tang army does not attack, everything is easy to say, and the ministers can't help but feel relieved.

"That's good, we'll do our best to put out the fire." He jumped up and was about to go out to direct the firefighting.

At this moment, I saw the guards rushing in quickly, and reported loudly: "Yu Zanpu, the big thing is not good, the Tang army is attacking the city." ”

"The Tang army is attacking the city?" These words were like thunder, and they shook the minds of all the monarchs and ministers.

Xiao Yan just thought that the Tang army would not attack the city, and received the news that the Tang army would attack the city, this gap was too big, and the eyes of the ministers were all staring at Xiao Yan, full of mockery.

"Xiaozhuo, this is what you said that the Tang Army will not attack the city? Did you plan it like that? "The big argument has long been wrong to see the small argument, how can you miss such a good opportunity and ridicule it loudly.

"This ......" Xiaodian was also confused.

He can be sure that the Tang army will not attack the city, where is the Tang army singing?

"You, you go to put out the fire, you you go to suppress the untouchables. The rest of the people fought with Benzanpu. "Ji De Zuzan assigned the task and directly ignored the small discussion.

As soon as the assignment was over, he strode away.

As soon as he left the Hongshan Palace, he heard an earth-shattering battle horn sound, and the Tang army marched out of the camp in a big way, forming a huge military formation outside the camp, and the momentum was shocking.

When I looked again, I saw one after another trebuchets standing, like fierce beasts.

"The Tang army is really going to attack the city, and the Great Tubo is going to end?" Ji De Zuzan's scalp was fried.

Tang Jun moved a jar of fierce fire oil to the bucket of the trebuchet, and then lit it, and the fierce fire oil burned, and the fire was blazing.

"Put!" At the sound of an order, a jar of fierce fire oil drew a bright parabola and rushed towards the city, and the wind whistled and was extremely loud.

Fierce fire oil is oil, the name of ancient China. In ancient China, the main oil production area was Yan'an.

Each jar of fierce fire oil flying in the air will draw a bright parabola, and countless fierce fire oil will weave a bright net, covering the city.

The fire oil smashed on the city, the fire splashed everywhere, and wherever the fire oil flowed, the flames burned wherever it went, and soon, a sea of fire.

Tang Jun was afraid that the fire in the city was not fierce enough, and the fierce fire oil continued to smash into the city, and the fierce fire oil on the ground was thick and thick, and it kept surging, and wherever it smed, the fire went there, and the sea of fire became bigger and bigger, and the fire became more and more fierce, and houses and tents were constantly ignited.

Looking at the rising flames, he almost fainted. The fire in the city of Luo has already made his heart tremble, Tang Jun put another fire, can this Luo still exist?

"Quick, put out the fire." He endured the dizziness and commanded the Tibetan army to fight the fire.

However, the fierce fire oil of the Tang army kept throwing in, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, where could it be extinguished.

The arson has been successful, Ge Shuhan naturally will not miss the opportunity, and with an order, the Tang army began to build a cloud ladder and officially attack the city.

This is just acting, in order to drag down the de-zuzan so that he can't fight the fire with all his might. However, because the Tang army had been holding back for too long, all of them had itchy hands, and as soon as they received the order to attack the city, they all used their strength to eat milk, like a tiger descending from the mountain, extremely brave, and even attacked the city in one breath.

"The Tang Army is coming, the Tang Army is coming." The Tibetan soldiers were taken aback.

With red eyes, he commanded the Tibetan army to fight, and the two armies fought at the head of the city.

Although there is chaos in the city, it is extremely unfavorable to the Tibetans, but the counterattack of the Tibetans is very fierce, this is the battle of the trapped beasts, and the Tibetan soldiers know very well that if the Luosome are lost, they will die without a place to bury, which has created a lot of trouble for the Tang army.

"It's still a smart prison army, but fortunately there is no siege." The generals saw it in their eyes and had to be convinced, Li Changguo's judgment was very correct.

In this way, the Tang army did not stop attacking, dragging Ji Dezuzan so that he could not put out the fire, until the whole Luo was engulfed in fire, and then the attack was stopped.
