Chapter 874 Mountain Road
Today is the fifth day that the Tang army has been stationed outside the Gechuan post. During these five days, every day in twos and threes, scattered soldiers of the Tang army will go to the outside of the Gechuan post to build archery towers and sentry towers. The archery tower and sentry tower that should be higher than the city wall of Gechuanyi stand up.

In the eyes of the Tubo army, Tang Jun's siege facilities were about to be completed, and the siege was imminent, and his heart became more and more nervous, but at the same time, Tang Jun's attention was not here at all.

Outside Gechuan Station, on the mountainside of Tangla Mountain.

"Is this the mountain road that the lieutenant officers and soldiers have found in the past few days?" Li Ke stood on the mountainside, looked up at the steep and smooth mountain wall more than ten feet high in front of him, and asked Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang pointed to the mountain wall and replied: "Your Majesty, I have been looking for this place in the past few days, and it is most likely to go up the mountainside and go around to the place behind Gechuan Post City?"

Li Ke looked at the tall and difficult steep walls in front of him, and then asked: "I only saw the cliffs in the mountains, why can't I see the road across the mountains?"

Su Dingfang replied: "At the end of the day, I will climb up here to see it myself. As long as I climb over this mountain wall, there will be a wild path after that. If you go around this wild path and keep walking, you can go around it in less than a day." Gechuan Station, we have come to the back mountain."

Li Ke said: "Dingfang, you are brave and strong. You can climb up with a little effort, but not everyone in the army has your skills. How do ordinary soldiers go up?"

Li Ke was born in the army and studied under a famous family. His skill can be said to be among the top in the army, but even Li Ke himself, looking at this steep mountain wall, Li Ke, who has never been good at mountain climbing, feels It is impossible to climb, let alone those ordinary soldiers in the army who are far inferior to Li Ke.

Su Dingfang also said: "Your Majesty said that this place is steep and difficult to climb. Those who can climb the mountain must have been born in the mountain since childhood. Those who are good at climbing will never be many people who can climb here. Moreover, this place is steep and narrow. , only one person can climb at a time, so the climbing speed will not be fast."

Li Ke asked: "Have you ever tried how long it takes for one person to climb here?"

Su Dingfang replied truthfully: "Even if you go up lightly, the kung fu of a stick of incense can only climb six or seven people at most."

Li Ke frowned and said: "That is to say, even if you don't rest day and night, you can only board 300 people a day, but there are more than 300 Tubo troops in this city. It can't even threaten the Tubo army."

Su Dingfang said: "Come up to five hundred elites, climb the mountain from here, go up with light clothes, and bring two days' rations, then you can detour to the back of Gechuanyi city. There is absolutely no defense behind the city of Gechuanyi. If these 500 people If the land is used at the right time, you can go around and kill the Tubo people by surprise, and cooperate with the main force in the front to attack the city, maybe you can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, take Gechuan Station, and pull out this nail."

Originally, in Li Ke's vision, at least 5000 people should be able to surround the enemy's rear and attack behind the enemy when the main force is attacking the city. Only in this way can they cooperate with the main force and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. There are only 500 people, which is really a drop in the bucket for Li Ke.

Li Ke said: "There are only 500 people, but there are more than [-] Tubo elites in the Gechuan Post. Even if they attack the enemy's rear, they can only be moths to the flames, and they must not be so hasty."

Although it was a surprise attack, even though it was a surprise attack from behind, but with 500 people to attack 2 people, the words "suicide" are still unavoidable. It is not surprising that Li Ke would say this.

Su Dingfang listened to Li Ke's words, and said: "Your Majesty, if you are reluctant to give up the small one, why take the big one. Surrounding the enemy's rear and attacking from both inside and outside, this is the best choice at the moment. It is also the fastest way to reduce the pressure of the frontal siege and break through the Gechuan post." I, Tang Erlang, are loyal to His Majesty, and since all the soldiers have followed His Majesty to this place, they are all ready to fight for His Majesty and bury their bones on the plateau."

Su Dingfang's words are not false. With Li Ke's prestige in the army, the soldiers in the army are fanatical for Li Ke's personal conquest. There are not a few people who are willing to die for Li Ke, not to mention 500 people, even if it is a hundred 500 people. People can also easily come up with it.

While Su Dingfang was talking, he saw that Li Ke was just listening, but he still didn't speak, and suddenly became a little anxious. Su Dingfang used soldiers to inherit Li Jing's art of war, and he was good at using strange soldiers. He knew very well the importance of this strange soldier.

Su Dingfang said anxiously: "If your majesty is not at ease, the final general is willing to lead the troops there personally, and I hope your majesty will allow it."

Hearing this, Li Ke immediately waved his hands and said: "Nonsense, a gentleman does not build a dangerous wall. You are a general in the army, the commander of the three armies, and the main force of the Western Expedition with 30 troops is under your command. How can you rush forward lightly and put yourself in danger."

Su Dingfang bowed down and said: "Your Majesty's lesson is that the last general is just eager to fight and is afraid of delaying the opportunity of the battle. That's why."

Li Ke helped Su Dingfang up, and said: "I have no intention of punishing you, and I know what you're thinking, so you don't have to worry about it. It's not that I don't allow soldiers to attack the enemy's rear, but I don't want my Tang Erlang to die for nothing. Raid, I will create the best opportunity for them."

Su Dingfang asked curiously: "I don't know what the best opportunity His Majesty said?"

Li Ke said: "If we can force the main force of Tubo in Gechuan Station to confront our army and restrain their main force, then the troops in Gechuan Station will be empty, and our army's raiders will have more chances of victory and vitality. "

Su Dingfang was surprised and said: "This Gechuan post is as solid as gold, does His Majesty have a way to force the Tubo army out of Gechuan post?"

Li Ke said: "Gechuanyi is a strong city. It is not easy to break the city from the outside, but it may not be so difficult to break the city from the inside."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he then instructed Su Dingfang: "Immediately choose 600 people from the army who are good at climbing mountains. These 600 people are going to die. I should promise you great kindness. I have something to arrange."

"600 people?" Su Dingfang asked puzzled.

In Su Dingfang's plan, because the mountain wall here is difficult to climb, he has made precise calculations. Only when the number of raiders is 500 people is the most efficient.

Mountaineering needs to be carried lightly. In order to avoid being noticed by the Tibetans, even camping is not allowed. There are too many people climbing the mountain, and the time is too long. The people climbing in front may not be able to hold on. 500 people are almost the limit.

Li Ke said: "There are only 500 people attacking the city, but these 500 people are not in a hurry. Before them, I will send a hundred people as scouts to the hinterland of Tubo."

Su Dingfang asked: "The hundred people His Majesty wants to use are related to forcing out the Tubo army."

Li Ke said: "That's right, since I can't force out the male bone, then I will use the hands of the Tubo people to force out the male bone."

"Promise, the last general will do it." Su Dingfang got the order and immediately complied.
