When Jishi Mountain arrives here, it is like a spout, with a large front and a small back. And the broken spout was built on this spout, which held the passage of the Tang army through Jishi Mountain.

The broken spout occupies a large area, with a radius of nearly ten miles. The left and right sides are built on the mountain, and there are cliffs about 100 zhang high, about seven or eight miles long. The front and back are not very wide, at most three or four miles, and the whole city is rectangular.

The city wall is about five zhang high, covered with ice and snow, and it is so slippery that even the birds don't want to stop, it is really a majestic pass.

"This ......" Li Changguo looked at the broken spout, and his heart sank straight down, if he wanted to break the spout, it was too difficult, so big that it was unimaginable.

A frontal attack, even if there are tens of thousands of casualties, may not have the slightest chance, don't even think about it.

If you make an avalanche or an ice avalanche from the left and right, you don't have a chance.

One is that there is no giant ice like Bacho Pass. The second is that the terrain here is very peculiar, the peaks on the left and right sides are in the form of steps, each level is hundreds of zhang, the highest peak has a lot of ice and snow, it is too far away from the broken pot mouth, can not be used.

Li Changguo glanced at Ge Shuhan, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and Li Bai, all of them with solemn faces, and it was obvious that they also felt tricky, very tricky.

"The Tang Army is here!"

"The Tang Army is coming!" The Tubo defenders at the head of the city looked at the Tang army that arrived, and let out a burst of ridicule: "Wuna Tang army, there is a kind of you who broke the mouth of the pot." ”

"You hit Baqiao Pass and made an ice avalanche, and there is a kind of ice avalanche that you are breaking the mouth of the pot."

"The ice and snow are there, a few miles away from the broken pot mouth, do you have an ice avalanche?"

The Tibetan soldiers pointed at the Tang army, and the ridicule sounded like a tide, which made the Tang army extremely unconvinced.

"Marshal, let's attack the city." Long Wujun was angry, his eyes were about to erupt with fire, and he roared urgently: "Even if this is a ghost gate, we have to enter it!" ”

Ge Shuhan glanced at the Long Wu Army, very satisfied with their fighting spirit, and said, "Don't quarrel first, set up camp in Mengzhai, and we will discuss it well." ”

"Marshal, what's there to talk about? The Tubo dog doesn't take us seriously, we want the Tubo dog to know how powerful the Long Wu Army is. Long Wujun shouted.

"Shut up!" Li Changguo snorted and said, "You are fighting like this? When the Tibetan dog ridicules you, you can't help it? It's so hard to break the spout of the pot, how many people will die if you do it so brutally? Don't tell me that you are not afraid of death. Long Wujun has no bad seeds, and no one is afraid of death. In a war, you have to use your brains to minimize casualties, rather than rushing forward as if you were hot-headed. ”

As soon as Li Changguo reprimanded, Long Wujun lowered his head, was very ashamed, and stopped talking.

Ge Shuhan gave an order, and the Longwu army began to camp.

Li Changguo, Ge Shuhan, Li Bai, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and Li Sheng rode their horses to the front of the pass and arrived close to observe. is even more observing, the more they find that it is difficult to overcome the broken spout, the more their hearts sink.

"General Tang, listen, I'm Ren Qingcuo, and I'm guarding the mouth of the pot on the order of the wise Zampu." A tall and extremely strong middle-aged man at the head of the city shouted at Li Changguo and them: "I am telling you, immediately withdraw from Jishi Mountain, return Dafeichuan, and cede the land of Hehuang to make amends to the Great Tubo, otherwise, the warriors of the Great Tubo will make you regret it." ”

His voice was very loud, and his voice was like thunder, rolling in and shaking people's eardrums.

"Did General Tang hear me clearly? You must carry out the general's orders, or our scimitars will make you regret it. The Tibetan soldiers followed and roared.

"Haha!"

Ge Shuhan, Li Changguo, Li Guangbi, Li Bai, Guo Ziyi, and Li Sheng raised their heads to the sky and laughed.

This Renqingcuo is also too arrogant, not only does the Tang army withdraw from Jishi Mountain, but also wants the Tang Dynasty to return Dafeichuan, and also cede the land of Hehuang, which is a fantasy.

I've never seen anything so crazy.

"What are you laughing at?" Ren Qingcuo's face sank, and he pointed at Ge Shuhan and asked loudly.

Ge Shuhan couldn't help but shake his head, looking at the expression of an idiot.

"We laugh and finally see what a fool is, you are a fool!" Lee Chang-kook sneered loudly.

"You dare to call me stupid." Ren Qingcuo's eyes rolled, and the essence burst out.

"You're not stupid, you're the ancestor of stupidity." Li Changguo's ridicule went even further, and said: "I've never seen you so stupid, but I've never seen you so stupid." The army of the Tang Dynasty has created a miracle through the ages, coming to the mouth of the broken pot, the destruction of Tubo is imminent, you don't want to protect yourself, you even said wildly, you want us to withdraw the army, but also return Dafeichuan, cede the land of Hehuang, you didn't wake up, right? ”

As soon as Li Changguo's words fell, Ge Shuhan and the others laughed together, nodded heavily, and agreed greatly.

The Tang Dynasty has already burned the flames of war to the hinterland of Tibet, and Renqingcuo is still so arrogant, it is really speechless.

"You ......" Douzui Renqingcuo was Li Changguo's opponent, pointing at Li Changguo, stammering, speechless.

"What are you? Ren Qingcuo, Tubo dog, there is a kind of going out of the city to fight. "Li Changguo really wants to take this opportunity to provoke Ren Qingcuo and let him go out of the city to fight, maybe there will be a chance to break the city.

"The Tubo dog has always only spoken big words, and he is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue, but he doesn't dare to go out of the city to fight." Ge Shuhan also had this in mind, and hurriedly echoed it.

"You're trying to provoke me and get me out of the city to fight, don't think about it." Although Ren Qingcuo was a little arrogant, he was not stupid, and he quickly calmed down.

Li Changguo knew that it was impossible to provoke Ren Qingcuo, and the idea of taking the opportunity to break through the barrier could only be a good wish, so he sighed secretly.

Li Bai raised his eyebrows, and shouted at the head of the city: "Listen to the Tubo soldiers in the city, as long as you surrender to the Tang Dynasty, you can be rewarded for your meritorious service, and you don't have to be slaves for generations, just to be cattle and horses." ”

It is a good way to persuade the Tibetan soldiers to surrender and to induce them to be rewarded for their personal freedom and meritorious service. However, at this time, it didn't work, and Li Bai's words caused a lot of laughter.

"Tang people, you don't have to be delusional! We are the masters of the Great Tibet, the theory of the Great Tibet, not those lowly slaves. ”

"If you want us to betray the Great Tibet, that's a dream!"

"We are willing to fight to the death for the Great Tibet."

These soldiers were the petty nobles of Tibet, with privileges, and although they knew that the Tang Dynasty was very rich, they would not give up their privileges, and it was not a lie to say that they fought to the death for Tibet.

Because Tibet is their backstage, it is the root of their prestige, and without Tibet, there would be no privilege for them to be high.

"Tang people, you are really crazy, and you are delusional in trying to persuade the warriors of the Great Tubo to dream in vain!" Ren Qingcuo finally found one and shouted proudly.

Anger can't be provoked, persuasion can't be successful, this broken pot mouth is really difficult to deal with, Li Changguo and they observed for a while, and returned to Geshuhan's handsome account to discuss the military plane.

"Tell me, who has the means to break the spout." Ge Shuhan sat down, his face gloomy, and asked loudly.

Everyone shook their heads in unison, and this was the answer.

If in the past, even in the face of great difficulties, everyone would have spoken every word, like today, it is the first time that a collective silence has been encountered.

The Tang army went through a lot of hardships, and finally came to the mouth of the broken pot, as long as you take this Xiongguan, you can enter the hinterland of Tibet, where to think, the mouth of the broken pot is so dangerous, people are helpless.

Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, they are falling short, who can not be annoyed? Who can not be angry?

"Let me say a few words." Li Changguo glanced at everyone, and none of them had any intention of speaking, so they had to speak first.

"Overseer, do you have a solution?" Li Sheng was the most anxious and blurted out.

Ge Shuhan, Guo Ziyi, Li Bai, and Li Guangbi focused their eyes on Li Changguo, and they were very expectant.

Li Changguo shook his head slightly, and the eagerness in everyone's eyes disappeared immediately, as if it had never existed.

"It's so strong, it's so easy to fight, it's even more difficult to fight than Stone Castle City." Li Changguo said in a deep voice: "This matter is very difficult, but we can think about it from another aspect. We have gone through a lot of hardships, and finally came to the broken pot mouth, and we have created a miracle for the ages! Since the Three Kings and Five Emperors, the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty to the present, there has never been a miracle! ”

Li Bai interjected, and said in a regretful tone: "The prison army, even if we create another ten or eight such miracles, we can't break the spout, it's useless." No matter how good the miracle is, it's better to lay down the broken spout! ”

"Li Hanlin's words are extremely reasonable!" Ge Shuhan and Guo Ziyi agreed loudly.

Li Changguo's status in the minds of everyone is very high, and few people refute it, and it is the first time that he has refuted it all at once, as he did today.

"I know that, too." Li Changguo nodded heavily and said, "I mean that we have created a miracle, and even if we can't complete this miracle, we can let our descendants continue to complete this miracle." We've managed to get here, and we're not going to retreat anyway. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said: "If we don't retreat and let go of the road of Jishi Mountain, the Tubo army will not be able to enter Dafeichuan, and there will be no big battle to fight this year, which makes us very sorry." However, as long as we stay here and consume it year after year, maybe we will have a chance to break the pot. At that time, the army of the Tang Dynasty will be able to attack the hinterland of Tibet. ”

At this point, it was time for the Tang Dynasty to change its strategy.

If the Tang army can't break the mouth of the pot, it must stay here, and it will be consumed with Tubo, and after a long time, maybe there will be a chance.

It's just that this time is a bit long, maybe tens, maybe decades, or even hundreds of years.

"There's really no way, that's the only way." Although everyone was extremely reluctant, they could only nod their heads in agreement.

"Since you all agree, I will report to Your Majesty." Ge Shuhan looked at everyone, and everyone had no objections.

Ge Shuhan wrote a military newspaper on the spot, discussed it with everyone, and no one had any objections, so he sent someone to Chang'an.

"It's a last resort to spend it with the Tubo dog here, and we still have to find a way to break the mouth of the pot." Ge Shuhan raised his eyebrows, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, and said: "It's cold and snowy right now, it's not a good time to fight, and the city is too slippery, which is not good for us." I mean, we're thinking of a good strategy and we're preparing to launch an assault when the spring flowers bloom and the snow melts. Whether you can beat it or not, you must fight! ”

This is a last resort, but it has to be done.

In this way, the Tang army was in full swing and prepared to break through the mouth of the pot.
