The generals were very confused, not because they didn't believe it, but because their general Cheng Yanjin sometimes really made people feel quite unreliable, looking around at the generals, Cheng Yanjin shouted with some dissatisfaction.

"What kind of eyes are you? Don't you believe the old man? What the old man said is unreliable? Li Yong is a fragrant glutton, if he catches Li Yong, he can torture out the boundless wealth, and he can torture the secret of firearms, Songtsan Gampo has always coveted Li Yong! To put it mildly, for Tubo, even if the opportunity to occupy Tuyuhun is temporarily abandoned, as long as Li Yong is captured, it is only a matter of time before Tuyuhun is captured again, so for Tubo, Li Yong is more important than Tuyuhun, so the main army of Tubo will definitely attack Xinghai City and try to capture Li Yong, understand? Do you think what General Ben said is wrong? ”

The generals listened and thought carefully, although the tone and appearance of the general's speech made people feel a little unreliable, but this statement was actually quite reliable.

"Where, where, that's what the general said!"

"The general is wise!"

A group of generals hugged their fists together.

"Phew! What are you old boys thinking in your stomachs, when General Ben doesn't know? However, no matter what you think, this general has issued a military order, and tomorrow morning, the army will set out for Xinghai City! ”

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile, and in the end, he had put away his smile, these generals who went out with the army were actually very familiar with Cheng Yanjin, they were all his old subordinates, and he himself liked to joke with his big grin, so he often joked with his old subordinates informally, and the generals hugged their fists together.

"The last general will obey!"

Although they feel that the general sometimes seems unreliable, it is absolutely reliable to fight, so when the general gives a military order, no matter whether they think it is reliable or not, there will be no objection, because the military order is like a mountain, Cheng Biting Jin said in a deep voice.

"This time I finally led the Tubo people into the trap, Your Majesty wants our three armies to encircle the Tubo people, strive to annihilate the Tubo army, hit Tubo hard, so that Tubo does not dare to send troops again, and Tuyuhun and Longyou are peaceful, so, let's rush to Xinghai City, just one word! Kill! This is a good opportunity for meritorious service, and the generals must fight bravely to kill first, but they can't relax the Tubo people! ”

"Don't worry, general, kill the Tubo people, our soldiers are definitely a top trick!"

In another large camp, Wei Chigong said excitedly.

"Early tomorrow morning, we will pull out the camp and return to Shixinghai City!"

"General, why are we rushing to Xinghai City? Our grain and grass are very sufficient, shouldn't we kill the Tuyuhun King City and surround the Tuyuhun King City? ”

A general asked suspiciously, and Wei Chigong laughed.

"What to go to Tuyuhun King City, Tuyuhun King City is estimated to not even have a shadow of a Tubo person, the main army of the Tubo people has gone to Xinghai City, if we want to kill the Tubo people, we have to go to Xinghai City, when the three armies are encircled, none of them will be let go! Hurry back and rest, and camp in Xinghai City early tomorrow morning! ”

A group of generals hugged their fists and led the order, Wei Chigong reached out and picked up the horse lance from the weapon rack and waved it a few times, speaking of which his horse lance has not drunk blood for a long time, and he really misses it, this expedition to the present, let alone fighting, not even the shadow of a Tubo person, it is really boring, he can't help but think of Li Yong, Xinghai City should be fighting fiercely at this moment, right? I don't know how Li Yong defended the city, he should have enjoyed the fight, right? I really want to hurry up to Xinghai City and kill it! can also help Li Yong break the siege quickly, after all, they have all promised in front of the emperor that Li Yong must not be allowed to have an accident, but this battle must be fought together, he can't rush up with a large army to kill a fight, the three armies must cooperate to surround the Tubo people, the three armies began to return to Xinghai City, Xu Shiji, Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chigong They were all worried about the battle situation of Xinghai City, the siege battle under Xinghai City was indeed very fierce, and the soldiers of Tubo rushed to the city wall with cannons and muskets carrying ladders, Then he erected a ladder, and then began to climb hard with a scimitar on his back, but there were stones and wood falling overhead, and the screams on the entire battlefield were heard one after another, intertwined with the sound of artillery and muskets, Li Yong walked back and forth on the city wall, and said in a deep voice.

"The city wall on the west side can be beaten with hands and feet, and the city wall on the south side can be collected and put more people under the city wall."

Li Yong issued orders from time to time, trying to create the appearance of a very fierce battle on the battlefield, and it was indeed as fierce as Xu Shiji, Cheng Yanjin, and Wei Chigong thought, but if you want to ask Li Yong how he feels, then he can only say that he is so tired that he commands tens of thousands of people to act for Songtsan Gampo, can he not be tired? Outside the city, Songtsen Gampo frowned and observed the battle situation, today is the fourth day of the siege, originally in the night at the end of the first day of the siege, he spoke, within three days to take Xinghai City, but today is the last day, but still has not been on the city, there are already many warriors about to climb the city, but it is still a little worse, directly smashed down by the stone, he feels that the siege has not yet been on the city, but only a breath, maybe the next moment there will be warriors on the city, As long as a gap is opened and the battle begins, with the bravery of their Tubo warriors, they will soon be able to capture the entire city, and the city will be broken in an instant, and now it is only a breath away! It's a pity that this breath hasn't come up for a long time! Although today is the last day of the three-day covenant to break the city, he doesn't want to give up even if he can't break the city today, because even if the city is not broken, then the city will definitely be broken tomorrow. What's more, he has already felt that the ammunition reserves in Xinghai City are no longer sufficient, and the musketeers on the city wall are no longer as unrestrained as before, and now they are only sporadic guns, and only when the situation is more severe, they will release guns intensively, which is a good thing, which shows that the Shenji Battalion can no longer withstand such consumption, so as long as they continue to attack the city, they will definitely be able to break the city, maybe it is today, maybe tomorrow, maybe it is the day after tomorrow, in short, Li Yong is already in the palm of his hand, of course, Another reason for him to insist on continuing to attack the city is that he feels that it is impossible for the other three Tang troops to return to the division, he still has enough time to attack the city, the sun has set in the west, Songtsen Gampo glanced at the fierce battlefield, and felt very regretful, the battle is very fierce, the warriors scrambled to climb to the ladder, but they have never been able to attack the city, at least today there is no chance to break the city, Songtsen Gampo said with some regret.

"Mingjin retreats!"

With the sound of Mingjin came out, the Tubo warriors who were about to attack the city receded like a tide, leaving only corpses all over the ground, Li Yong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he watched the Tubo people withdraw their troops back to the camp, and finally another day passed, he felt a little lucky, not glad that he held the city today, but fortunately he kept the Tubo people, and did not scare the Tubo people away, not only to ensure that the Tubo people climb the ladder, but also not to let too many Tubo people climb the ladder one after another, So he can only dispatch musketeers to control the rhythm of the Tubo siege, after all, he doesn't want the Tubo people to really climb the ladder, although even if the Tubo people really climb the ladder, they will not capture the city, but it will bring casualties to the soldiers, the soldiers who defend the city are the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, it is a fresh life, how can he bear to let the soldiers make fearless sacrifices? However, he has not allowed the Tubo people to attack the city, and he is afraid that Songtsen Gampo will be forced to give up, which is really a headache! I don't know when Xu Shiji and they will arrive, according to the original agreement, it should be almost there, right? Just when Li Yong was thinking so, Songtsen Gampo had already gathered all the generals together.

"The siege of the city has reached the most critical juncture, only one breath can be attacked, as long as the city is attacked, with the bravery of our Tubo warriors, we will be able to quickly break the city, but why is this breath still unable to breathe?"

Songtsen Gampo asked in a deep voice, the generals couldn't help but be silent, Zampu himself sat in the town, and the soldiers actually fought very hard, but they just didn't attack the city, who can blame it? You can't blame them! I can only blame the enemy's firearms for being really powerful, and the defense equipment such as stones and rolling logs is also very well prepared, and how can it be so easy to capture a city? Before the army in the south and the north of the war although the siege of the city, but sometimes a city attacked for dozens of days to take down, like the Tubo King City was attacked for ten days before it was captured, and now the army attacked Xinghai City only for a few days, although Xinghai City is not big and the city wall is not high, but the enemy army has powerful firearms! Therefore, they think that it is normal for them not to break the city for a few days, but who dares to say this to Zampu? They also understood Zampu's urgency to capture Li Yong, and they also understood that Zampu was worried that the remaining three Tang soldiers and horses would return to Xinghai City, however, they felt that Zampu's worries were somewhat unnecessary, not to mention that the three Tang soldiers and horses would not have thought that they would come to attack Xinghai City, and even if they thought about it, they would not return to the division so quickly, and took 10,000 steps back and said, even if any of the three Tang soldiers and horses really returned to Xinghai City, so what? It only needs to divide a part of the troops and horses to defeat the Tang army, Saamu muttered.

"Zampu, according to the observation of the last general, the consumption of ammunition for the musket in Xinghai City is very large, and now they can only shoot intensively at critical times, and their use of muskets is decreasing day by day, so there are more and more warriors rushing to the ladder, so they should be able to break through Xinghai City soon."

Songtsen Gampo said in a deep voice.

"I also know that the soldiers are very brave, and I also know that we are only close to breaking through Xinghai City, so I don't want to continue to drag it out, because dragging it down means more casualties, our purpose is to capture Li Yong, as long as Li Yong is captured, it will be done, and if it drags on, I am afraid that there will be many dreams at night!"

A general said respectfully.

"Is Zampu afraid that the Tang Army will suddenly return to the division? The last general felt that Zampu was too worried, Xinghai City failed to send people out to ask for help, Xu Shiji, Cheng Yanjin, and Wei Chigong never thought that we would attack Xinghai City by surprise, they would only take the army to Tuyuhun King City, and when they arrived at Tuyuhun King City, they found that it was an empty city, even if they knew that they would return to Xinghai City at that time, it would have been too late. ”

"That's right, we still have time to attack Xinghai City, Zampu doesn't have to be anxious, Xinghai City won't last long, even if Xu Shiji and them return with a large army, what can they do? If it weren't for the surprise attack on Xinghai City, we would have already defeated each of them by now! ”

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the analysis of the generals, he doesn't know how many times he has thought about these in his heart, but he always feels a little uneasy in his heart, since Xinghai City is about to hold on, then why did Li Yong never send someone to break through to report the news? Songtsen Gampo groaned.

"I've also thought about what you said, I'm just a little puzzled, why hasn't Li Yong sent someone to break through to ask for help until now?"

Saamu groaned.

"The last general also thought about this problem, the last general felt that Li Yong, who was recognized by the world as a person with university questions, such a person must be very proud, plus he was very young, he must be conceited and proud, this can be seen from the drunken words he said in Minzhou City, so he will definitely not plan to ask for help until he is forced to do so, besides, there are layers of our Tubo army outside the city, he should also understand that no one can break out of such an iron bucket-like encirclement."

Songtsen Gampo nodded slightly.

"You have a point. Tomorrow before the siege of the city, I want to shoot a letter of persuasion to surrender into the city, the battle has reached this point, I think Li Yong should also understand the difficulty of defending the city, you can try to persuade surrender. ”

Saamu listened and said respectfully.

"Zampu is wise! Now that Xinghai City has been surrounded by iron buckets, Li Yong must have been very tormented several times, and he doesn't know the situation outside Xinghai City now, as long as the situation is exaggerated, he will definitely be able to break through his psychological defense. ”

This coincided with what he thought, Songtsen Gampo nodded with a smile and said: "That's the reason, I will personally persuade the letter to surrender, choose a marksman to shoot on the city wall early tomorrow morning, if he does not agree to surrender, then continue to attack the city tomorrow, and be sure to break through Xinghai City as soon as possible!" ”

The generals couldn't help but be a little excited when they heard this, if Li Yong could be obedient, then there was no need to continue to attack Xinghai City, they could concentrate their forces to attack several other armies, in this way, not only could they capture Li Yong, but also hold this land that had been occupied by them, it can be said that they killed two birds with one stone, the generals dispersed, Songtsan Gampo also stepped out of the big tent and looked at Xinghai City in the night, Li Yong, I hope you don't know how to lift!
