Songtsen Gampo's face looked a little flat, in fact, he also felt very dignified in his heart, but seeing that the generals were dignified, he was not good at showing a very dignified face.

"Today's siege battle is not smooth, of course, this is just a test of the Shenji Battalion, it turns out that firearms do have uniqueness, of course, this is also in our expectations, unless the Shenji Battalion and Li Yong are waste, otherwise, we can't capture Xinghai City in one day!"

Songtsen Gampo said calmly.

"Zampu is wise! A little setback is nothing, our Tibetan warriors are not afraid of setbacks, our Tibetan warriors are brave and good at fighting, and they will definitely be able to capture Xinghai City! ”

Saamu echoed in a respectful voice, and the generals softened a lot when they heard this, but the solemnity in their hearts did not subside much, because they were all veterans of the battlefield, and they also knew that it was unlikely to capture Xinghai City on the first day, but what surprised them was the power of firearms, they imagined the power of firearms along the way, but they imagined more about the power of artillery, because the reputation of artillery is the strongest, artillery can attack cities, and the power of artillery is really as powerful as they imagined, But the power of the musket was beyond their expectations, compared to the musket, the artillery has a great reputation, so the musket is a little obscure, today on the battlefield, they were also shocked by the earth-shattering movement and power of the artillery at the beginning, and they did not feel anything about the artillery, but when they really attacked the city, they realized the power of the musket, they only understood that the musket was even more difficult than the artillery, if it was a siege, the artillery could play a greater role, but now it is to defend the city, On the contrary, it is the musket that can play a greater role, Songtsen Gampo said in a deep voice.

"In today's battle, the power of the artillery is expected, but the muskets are a little unexpected, the muskets on the city wall do not stop for a moment, they have been firing guns, it stands to reason that even if you defend the city with bows and arrows, you can't shoot so much! What a waste! And the musket is more powerful than the bow and arrow, so the production of bullets must be more complicated and expensive than arrows, right? Why do you think the city keeps firing guns? Is it because they are well stocked or are they bluffing? ”

The generals couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this, the power of muskets is greater than bows and arrows, and the production must be more complicated and expensive than bows and arrows, it stands to reason that this must be the case, Saamu muttered.

"After all, Li Yong must have carried a lot of guns and bullets on this expedition, so Li Yong dared to order his subordinates to release guns for a moment in such an extravagant manner, but the last general also felt that the guns and bullets in Xinghai City could not support Li Yong's wasteful release of guns, so the last general felt that Li Yong was bluffing!"

When the other generals heard this, they all started talking.

"Yes, the production of musket guns and ammunition must be more complicated than arrows, and it costs more money, and it has just experienced the Eastern Crusade, how many guns and ammunition can Datang still store? How many bullets can Li Yong carry? ”

"Therefore, Li Yong may really be bluffing by doing this, so Li Yong is actually empty-hearted!"

"Nonsense, 100,000 iron horsemen are overwhelmed, can he not be weak-hearted?"

Hearing the discussion of the generals, Songtsen Gampo nodded with satisfaction: "Therefore, Li Yong is likely to be bluffing today, so he keeps releasing his guns all the time, they must be so consumed!" ”

"Even so, we attacked the city today, erected a ladder, and almost attacked the city! As long as we are given time, we will definitely be able to capture Xinghai City and capture Li Yong alive! ”

"Now the firearms are more powerful than we imagined, which means that Li Yong's value is even greater than we imagined, so no matter how much loss is paid, as long as Li Yongsheng is captured back, then everything will be worth it!"

The generals couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this, and the solemnity in their hearts gradually dissipated and regained their confidence.

"Zan Pu Yingming, our Tubo warriors are fighting in the south and the north, attacking the city and pulling out the village, unmatched, just Xinghai City, just a few firearms, how can it stop us?"

Saamu said in a deep voice, and a smile appeared on Songtsen Gampo's face, and then he withdrew and muttered.

"Now, what worries me the most is time, I'm afraid that Xu Shiji, Cheng Yanjin, and Wei Chigong will detect the plan to lure troops and return to Xinghai City! Therefore, within three days, Xinghai City must be taken! Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, the first warriors to climb the city wall, reward ten thousand households! ”

This reward is not heavy, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, even the generals in the king's tent can't help but light up when they hear it, just when Songtsen Gampo encouraged the generals in the king's tent, Xu Shiji's Chinese army tent is also full of people, all the generals are a little puzzled, today has been chasing the Tubo people, tomorrow morning will also pursue the Tubo people, they don't understand why the marshal wants to gather everyone.

"The Tubo cavalry we have been pursuing is actually not the main force of Tubo, this cavalry has no more than 10,000 troops, it is just a bait."

Xu Shiji said in a deep voice, this sentence can be described as an earth-shattering shock, everyone was dumbfounded when they heard it, everyone has been chasing for so long, it turned out to be just a bait?

"Marshal, if this is just a bait, then where is the main force of Tubo?"

Murong Shun asked with some concern and doubt, the last time Zhang Liang led the army to attack the enemy so lightly that he was ambushed by the Tubo people and almost wiped out the whole army, so now he couldn't help but be frightened when he heard the bait or something, Xu Shiji said in a deep voice: "At this time, the main force of the Tubo army should have arrived in Xinghai City!" ”

"Xinghai City? What? Xinghai City? How could the main force of Tubo go to Xinghai City? ”

Murong Shun asked in surprise, his heart was full of incredulity, are the Tubo people crazy? What are you doing when you run to Xinghai City alone?

Xu Shiji patiently explained.

"In order to be able to hit the Tubo people hard, before the expedition, the sage drew up a plan, that is, let the Rongfu County Duke lead the Shenji Battalion into Xinghai City, the purpose is to attract the main force of the Tubo people to go, the Rongfu County Duke has the ability to turn stone into gold, there are a lot of secret recipes for rolling money, and can also cast powerful firearms, Songtsan Gampo has always been in the idea of the Rongfu County Duke, so this time the Rongfu County Duke is stationed in Xinghai City, and it will definitely attract the Tubo people to attack, The real main force of Tubo must have arrived in Xinghai City, so tomorrow the army will return and rush to Xinghai City, Niu Jinda, this commander ordered you to order 5,000 fine cavalry to continue the pursuit, disguised as the illusion that the army will continue to pursue, and do not engage with the enemy for the time being! ”

The generals dispersed one after another, and when they walked out of the tent of the Chinese army, they were still confused, because what the marshal said today was really beyond their imagination, in fact, on this march, they actually thought in their hearts that the Tubo army that was being pursued was not the main force of Tubo, but a bait of the Tubo people, to lure the army into a trap, but they never thought that the real main force of Tubo was going to Xinghai City, and it was to capture Li Yong alive, which is also incredible, right? Moreover, is this a military strategy drawn up by His Majesty before the expedition? At this time, they suddenly remembered the drunkenness of the Rongfu County Duke in Minzhou City, and now that they think about it, the Rongfu County Duke must have been pretending to be drunk at that time, and the real purpose was to pass on the news of his stationing in Xinghai City to the Tubo people? Thinking about it like this, it suddenly became clear, and they were still puzzled before, how could the prince of Rongfu County, who has always been wise, get drunk and then reveal it to the general on the street? However, they also have to admire the courage of the Rongfu County Duke, even in order to deliberately disclose the news to the Tubo people, scolding the emperor on the street also needs a good courage, after figuring out the ins and outs, they are uncontrollable excited, if the Tubo people really go to attack Xinghai City, then when their army returns to help, won't they directly wrap up the main force of Tubo? This is enjoyable just thinking about it, surround the entire main force of Tibet, and then kill and kill, tsk, it's just cool and crooked! Of course, the biggest question now is whether the Duke of Rongfu and the Shenji Battalion can hold on, after all, Xinghai City is not a Xiongcheng, but thinking that the firearms of the Shenji Battalion are so powerful, it should be able to hold on, right? Compared with the excitement of the generals, Murong Shun was even more confused, and he had some doubts in his heart, how could the main force of the Tubo people attack Xinghai City? What is the use of attacking Xinghai City? Even if there is a hoarding of grain and grass there, even if it is burned to the ground, what is the use? With the back of Longyou, Datang can also transport a steady stream of grain and grass, is it really to capture the prince of Rongfu alive? How is this possible? It is true that the name of Rongfu County is shocking to the world, but Rongfu County is just one person after all! It's just a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, putting the main army in danger for the sake of a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, is it possible? If he was Songtsen Gampo, he wouldn't be so stupid, defeating the Tang army and occupying this land is the most important thing, how can Li Yong be compared to this land? The generals dispersed, but Murong Shun stayed.

"Does the marshal really want to go back to Shixing Haicheng?"

Murong Shun asked, and Xu Shiji nodded.

"The military order has been issued, how can it be a child's play? Early tomorrow morning, the army will set up camp and head to Xinghai City! ”

Murong Shun groaned.

"Does the marshal think that the main army of the Tubo people will really go to Xinghai City?"

Xu Shiji nodded.

"Before the expedition, Ben Shuai was only eighty percent sure, but now, Ben Shuai is completely sure that the main army of the Tubo people has indeed gone to Xinghai City! This is not a speculation on the part of the marshal, but a judgment made by the marshal based on the situation! ”

Murong Shun couldn't help but slander in his heart when he heard this, and made a judgment based on the situation? Why didn't he tell? Seeing that Murong Shun still had a suspicious look on his face, Xu Shiji couldn't help but smile.

"I know what you're worried about, Ben Shuai took the army back to Xinghai City, if the main army of Tubo is really in Xinghai City, then the front and back attacks will definitely be able to hit the main army of Tubo hard, if the main army of Tubo is not in Xinghai City, then it's nothing, we just start all over again, continue to look for the main army of Tubo for a decisive battle! Moreover, if the main army of Tubo is really in Xinghai City, then our army will be surrounded and the main force of Tubo will be severely damaged, which means that the Tubo people will not dare to raise troops to attack in the future. ”

Murong Shun was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly realized, yes, what is he worried about? If the main army of Tubo is really in Xinghai City, then it can hit the Tubo people hard, so that the Tubo people do not dare to raise troops to attack, if the main army of Tubo is not in Xinghai City, then it doesn't matter, it is nothing more than one more trip, and the army will start from Xinghai City again. What he was worried about was that he was afraid that the Tang Dynasty would fall into the ambush of the Tubo people again, but how could the army return to Xinghai City to be ambushed by the Tubo people? Thinking of this, Murong Shun couldn't help but be a little excited, and said respectfully.

"Handsome and wise!"

Xu Shiji waved his hand and smiled.

"Go and rest, you will leave the camp early tomorrow morning."

Murong Shun respectfully withdrew from the big tent of the Chinese army, and his heart was also excited, now he only has thoughts, that is, pious prayers, praying that Li Yong's charm is really so great, can attract the Tubo people to Xinghai City, at the same time, he also prayed that Li Yong can hold on, otherwise the Tubo life captured Li Yong and then retreated, and the army could only return to the division, in the wilderness in the east of Tuyuhun, there was also an endless camp under the moonlight, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Cheng Biting Jin sat on the handsome seat, looking red and excited.

"I haven't seen any trace of the Tubo people all the way, Ben Shuai has decided, this will take you to a big killing!"

Cheng Biting Jin said loudly.

The generals couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, the army was very slow along the way, and it was strange to find the traces of the Tubo people! Along the way, they all felt that the marshal was too cautious in marching, and they couldn't march so cautiously because Zhang Liang was in an ambush because of the enemy's rash advance! Now Da Shuai suddenly said very happily that he would take everyone to kill and kill, which makes people feel very unreliable when they listen to it, although they all know that Da Shuai is actually very reliable in fighting, but sometimes talking and doing things makes people feel unreliable.

"General, are we going to march to the Tubo King City in a hurry?"

A general asked.

In their opinion, if you want to say that you want to kill a lot, it must be to go to the Tubo Royal City, Cheng Yanjin shook his head again and again.

"No, no, let's pull out the camp tomorrow and return to Xinghai City, this general pinched his fingers, the Tubo people are attacking Xinghai City!"

The generals have a black line.

"General, let's go back to Xinghai City?"

Seeing the bewildered appearance of the generals, Cheng Yanjin was greatly satisfied and laughed.

"Let me tell you the truth, the military strategy formulated by the sage is to let Li Yong take the Shenji battalion into Xinghai City to attract the main force of the Tubo people to attack, and then the rest of the soldiers and horses will return to Xinghai City to complete the siege, and try to completely annihilate the main force of Tubo!"

The generals couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.

"The Rongfu County Duke stationed in Xinghai City to attract the main force of Tubo?"
