"Hey, hey!"

"Dangdang, dangdang, dangdang."

"Yu!"

Around the city of Shanzhou, it is a busy scene of great construction. Hao Jue's performance is not as arrogant and arrogant as his mouth, but very careful and cautious. Shanzhou, as the station of the original Longyou Jiedu envoy, is naturally not generally strong. This place is close to Tubo, a large number of Tubo tribes have migrated here from the plateau for decades, and the human and material resources are not as weak as Lanzhou, so Hao Yu is also ready to besiege the city for a long time, and has built tall and strong military camps on all sides of Shanzhou, with a posture of long-term siege.

Except for a few tentative attacks under Shanzhou City when they first arrived,* there were no major military moves, as if they had come all the way to Shanzhou City just to build another wall around Shanzhou City.

The defenders in the city didn't believe that * was so kind, and watched the camp outside the city gradually change from a field camp to a permanent camp, and gradually became a single battalion from an isolated camp, and the defenders in the city seemed to have a thousand pounds of boulders in their hearts every day. Although there was a language barrier, the defenders and the people in the city also knew what the turtle in the urn meant, and what karma meant.

Therefore, people in the city began to look for the short and lizang. On the short Lizang is the highest military and political governor in Shanzhou, and the more depressing thing about the short Lizang is that he was the supreme governor of Longyou just over half a year ago, and now he has become the supreme governor of Shanzhou. In fact, there is also a Kuozhou and a Huangzhou in the hands of the Tubo people, but since a few days ago, after the strong siege of the fortresses in the west and south of the city, Shanzhou's hand can no longer be stretched out, and Shanzhou is too busy to take care of itself, so he has to hope that Kuozhou and Huangzhou will seek more blessings.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be angry on the short Lizang, with his status, he could naturally control the upper and lower sides of Longyou, but the defeat of Di Dao, he only returned one-tenth of the 50,000 people he took away, and lost a large area of land on the left bank of Taoshui and tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the four clans, after returning to Shanzhou, on the short Lizang even wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide, but he was stopped by his subordinates before he succeeded.

As the commander of the unprecedented defeat in Tubo for 30 years, on the short Lizang thought that he was no longer qualified to control his subordinates, and after hearing that the two armies of the two roads were encircling Shanzhou, the short Lizang had the idea of retreating, and proposed to transfer the military power to the Jiedu envoy Dazha, and moved to Shibao City to defend the back road for Daza, but was rejected by Daza. Dazar Road:

"The secondary phase is the pillar of the country, and when the secondary phase is there, the people's hearts are there, and when the second phase is gone, the people's hearts are gone. The Han people often say that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and now that the * is big, it is normal for our army to lose to them, so why should the prime minister be worried? Now that most of Longyou has been lost, if Shanzhou and Kuozhou and Huangzhou are lost again, it will be even more difficult for the country to recover this place. It is better to stay here, boost morale, defend this city, and atone for your sins. ”

Dazha's words sound righteous and reasonable, but when he listens to the short Lizang, he always feels that there is a meaning in the Chinese saying that the sky is falling and there is an elder on top, but he can't refute it. Besides, what if you run back? The big sin of losing Longyou is always bearable, it is better to live and die with Shanzhou, at least the family can continue. In this way, the short Lizang stayed in Shanzhou.

"The Tang people always say that we Tubo people are not good at defending the city, but don't forget, in Shibao City, we killed tens of thousands of them with 400 warriors. Today, we have more than 30,000 troops in Shanzhou City, and there is an army that can come to the rescue at any time, are you still afraid that Hao Yu will not succeed? There is only one way for the Tang people to enter the city, and that is to pile their corpses at the head of the city! ”

It should be said that the short Lizang who has recovered his fighting spirit can still come up with two brushes, and the two armies of Hao Xuan and Li Wentong took the power of a great victory to reach the city of Shanzhou in four months, which has a lot to do with the rational allocation of troops in the short Lizang, the stationing of heavy troops at certain passes, the construction of a large number of fortresses, and the stalemate and even repeated battles. But he didn't expect Hao Jue to be more poisonous, and when Hao Jue found out about the attempt, Hao Jue made a surprising decision:

Besiege but not attack.

It is said that after discovering the change in the tactics of *, he completely forgot that he had wanted to copy the *, and then picked up the ready-made, and burst into a foul scolding:

"Isn't it just that there are many people in yourself?"

That's right, Hao Wei is relying on his large number of people. Anyway, Hao Jue's own plan is to build fortresses along the way, since the Tubo people want to use the fortress to block our army's attack, then we will use the way of others to govern their bodies!

Out of the small number of places that have been on the road since ancient times, they had to be stormed, and they all adopted the tactics of fortress to fortress, and besieged the fortress of the Tubo army with a field city formed by a circle of fortresses and chariots. In the end, the defenders in these forts all took two roads, two roads: one was to desperately break through after running out of ammunition and food, and was wiped out on the road by the well-organized * cavalry; The second is that he couldn't run out if he wanted to, and starved to death in the fortress a few months later, and even the corpse and the fortress were burned by a fire.

There are only two ways for those who do not want to be killed or starved to death, one is to surrender, although the other party is the notorious Hao Xuan. After surrendering, these people often make a request, and that is:

"Let me have a full meal, and then do whatever you want."

The other way, of course, is suicide. There are quite a few people who choose this path. When many * soldiers watched the fire on the fortress of the Tibetan army, they always involuntarily regretted and said:

"It's a pity, so many heads."

And those Tubo troops who stubbornly resisted at the dangerous pass actually did not cause much damage to *, and since the start of the war, *'s firearms are no longer easily forbidden to be used as military secrets. During the siege of the city, it is common to hear the high-spirited shouts of the * officers:

"Mother, blow up his grandmother!"

Looking at Hao Wei's army, Li Wentong's army gradually pulled out one fortress after another, drove over and surrounded Shanzhou City, and was so worried that his hair turned white one by one. The only thing that made him happy was that in these four months, he requisitioned 10,000 Tibetan youths, reorganized the army, strengthened his control over the Han people in Shanzhou, and greatly strengthened the city defense of Shanzhou.

Now the only hope for the short Lizang is that the opening in the south of Shanzhou City can be defended and the first-line passage from Shanzhou to the outside world can be kept, but will Hao Yu let him get his way?
