Chapter 27: The Capture of Stone Castle (3)

These people are Li Changguo, Guo Ziyi, Li Bai, Li Guangbi, Li Sheng, and the selected Long Wujun.

For Shibao City, the Tang Dynasty was determined to win, and the benefits of taking Shibao City were too many to say.

Shibao City is a choke point, if it is taken by the Tang Dynasty, Dafeichuan is in the bag, and the Tang Dynasty will point to the capital of Tubo, and you can use Dafeichuan as a springboard to launch a large-scale attack on Tubo.

Once Tibet was pacified, the territory of the Tang Dynasty would suddenly increase by thousands of miles. You must know that the territory of Tibet at that time was very vast, far from the current Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, including northern India, Afghanistan, Kashmir, and parts of Pakistan. Getting so much land, the strength of the Tang Dynasty will be greatly improved.

More importantly, from now on, the Tang Dynasty no longer had to defend Tibet, and the army defending Tibet could be transferred to the Western Regions, and the strength of the Anxi Protectorate would be greatly enhanced, and it would be able to fight a big war with the Arab Empire in Central Asia.

Without the Tibetan Dynasty to contain the Tang Dynasty, the troops transferred by the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions would not be 30,000 or 20,000, but 50,000 or 100,000, or even more. The war with the Arab Empire is no longer a simple battle for Central Asia, but the Tang Dynasty wants to go all out to the west, and it is likely to turn into a war of annihilation, and it is very questionable whether the Arab Empire can exist again.

If the Tang Dynasty had seized Central Asia and used it as a springboard to attack the West, compressing the Arab Empire to the west, or even destroying the Arab Empire, the history of the world would have been rewritten.

Just thinking about the benefits is dizzying, don't say do it.

Li Changguo's return this time is to attack Shibao City at night!

The night attack was a strategy that had been set a long time ago, but it was the last resort of the Tang army, and it would not be used unless it was absolutely necessary. In other words, if the night attack was not successful, the Tang Dynasty would lose the opportunity to take the stone castle city.

In order to give the night attack a greater chance of success, Ge Shuhan gritted his teeth and threw thousands of corpses under the Stone Castle City, in order to paralyze Tibet.

The Tang army had such fierce generals as Li Changguo, Guo Ziyi, Li Bai, Li Guangbi, and Li Sheng, and if they launched an attack, these losses could be completely reduced. The question is, will Tibet be paralyzed in this way?

Hard!

Because without a real victory, the Tibetans will not be happy, and if they are not happy, they will not be paralyzed. Therefore, these costs must be paid, although it is heart-wrenching.

After the Tang army suffered thousands of casualties, it became a logical thing for Li Changguo and his fierce generals to attack. If they can take down Stone Castle City in one fell swoop, it will be the best. If not, the purpose of paralyzing Tibet can be achieved. Tubo will think, such a brave group of people can't take down Shibao City, what else can the Tang Dynasty do?

After successfully achieving this goal, Ge Shuhan gave an order, and the Tang army retreated, creating a false impression to the Tubo people that the Tang army had suffered heavy casualties and had to withdraw.

And Li Changguo took advantage of the cover of night to quietly turn back, preparing to launch a final attack on Shibao City.

Success or failure, in one fell swoop!

Li Changguo and the others were quietly lying in the grass, looking at Shibao City, only to see that Shibao City was brightly lit, and the Tubo soldiers were surrounding the fire, eating yak meat, drinking barley wine, and scolding the Tang army loudly, and they were very comfortable.

"Gege!"

Li Changguo: Their teeth were gritted loudly. The evening breeze blew, mixed with a thick smell of blood, which was the blood of the fallen Tang soldiers, and it made Li Changguo and his anger rise.

Despite their anger, Li Changguo did not act rashly, but waited quietly.

The carnival of the Tubo soldiers continued, until the third watch, there was still no sign of stopping, and the soldiers of the Longwu Army couldn't help it, and whispered: "Prison army, let's rush up!" ”

"Yes! The Tibetan dog is so hateful, let's rush up and kill it! ”

Li Changguo's face sank, and he scolded lightly: "Don't mess around!" ”

Li Changguo's prestige in the army was very high, and as soon as he was angry, Long Wujun suddenly didn't dare to come out.

"I understand your feelings, and I want to rush up and kill the Tibetan dogs, but we have to wait for the best opportunity." Li Changguo comforted them and said: "The Tubo dogs are so noisy that they are very paralyzed, and we have a greater chance of success." ”

"The more noisy the Tibetan dogs are at this time, the more dead they will sleep, and the greater the chance that we will succeed. Be patient. Guo Ziyi took over the conversation.

Long Wujun understood, no longer spoke, just waited.

The tumult of the Tibetan soldiers continued, and the most joyful was the iron-bladed Sinoluo.

He followed Sambuza into the land of Hehuang, defeated and lost, almost lost his surname, originally thought that he was going to suffer a big crime, where did he think of it, the battle of Shibao City, the Tang army suffered thousands of casualties, and he made a great contribution, which is not a problem, so he can't help but be unhappy.

"Eat!" Ironblade Sinoro tore at a piece of yak meat and gulped it down, splashing his saliva as if it were the first time he had eaten yak meat in his life.

"!" Grab the wine bag and pour it in a big gulp, which is very pleasant.

Drink all the bags of barley wine in one go, wipe your mouth, and burp the wine, which is extremely comfortable.

"Eat!"

"!"

The Tibetan soldiers all drank and ate fiercely.

"Warriors of Great Tibet: Stone Castle City fought very well this battle! played the majesty of the Great Tubo, and the Tang Army had thousands of corpses! Tie Ren Xi Nuoluo's eyes lit up, and he said to the Tubo soldiers: "There is a stone castle city, and the Tang army can't help us!" The Great Tubo advances and retreats freely, can be attacked, retreats can be defended, this year's defeat is nothing, the Great Tubo will definitely send troops again, the shame of the defeat of the snow! ”

"Snow shame! Snow shame! ”

The soldiers of Tubo were full of spirit, and everyone's eyes were shining, as if they had sent troops to the land of the river again.

With Shibao City, Tubo has the initiative in the war, can attack, retreat can defend, temporary defeat is nothing, and it can be pulled back, this kind of thing has been repeated many times in the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo for tens of hundreds of years.

The Tibetan soldiers ate the cow and drank it, and gradually became drunk, and fell to the ground in twos and threes, and fell asleep.

For a while, there was thunder of snoring in Stone Castle City.

"Hiccup!" Iron Shinobu burped and fell to the ground, snoring loudly.

After only a while, the Stone Castle City, which was originally noisy like a vegetable market, quieted down.

"It's time!"

When Long Wujun saw it, he was overjoyed in his heart, holding the horizontal knife tightly, and he couldn't wait to rush forward immediately.

However, to their surprise, Li Changguo did not give the order, but just stared at Shibao City with a pair of eyes.

"Prison Army, give the order quickly!" Long Wujun couldn't wait and urged.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't ......be in a hurry" Li Changguo interrupted Long Wujun as soon as he started his sentence.

"Prison Army, it's hard to wait for the opportunity, who can not be in a hurry?" Long Wujun's eyes lit up.

"In a little while, the Tibetan dog will sleep even more deadly, and that's a good opportunity for us to do it!" Li Changguo understood their mood and explained to them: "Just fall asleep, it won't be too heavy. Only by sleeping for a while will you sleep deeply, and that is the best opportunity. ”

"Oh!" Long Wujun was suddenly, although he was anxious, he could only wait patiently.

After waiting for another half an hour, Li Changguo waved his right hand, jumped up like a leopard, and rushed out first.

Guo Ziyi, Li Bai, Li Guangbi, Li Sheng, and Long Wujun hurriedly followed, all of them were as fast as raccoon dogs, without making a sound, and rushed straight to Shibao City.
