Chapter 267

Dai remembers his father Shang Qixin'er's teaching that the first goal after leaving Qilian Mountains is to swallow the Chishui Army west of Wuwei City.

Now the Chishui Army has been surrounded by Dai Ze, but Guangde's suggestion has taken root in Dai Ze's heart.

Wuwei City, this is a larger and more prosperous city than Tianzhu City!

Dai knew this city, the starting point of the silk trade, and the city that his father wanted to occupy in his dream.

The Pearl of the Tang Dynasty coveted by any Tubo warrior.

But now this pearl is already on Dai Ze's mouth, and he can swallow it as long as he sticks out his tongue.

According to the interrogation of prisoners of war, there are less than a thousand defenders in Wuwei City today.

The defense of Wuwei City was lax, and Fang Guan, the governor of Hexi, was a fool who didn't know how to fight.

Dai followed Guangde's advice and sent him to Wuwei City to persuade him to surrender.

But regardless of whether Guangde can persuade Fang Guan to surrender, Dai Ze is ready to Chen Bing Wuwei City.

If Fang Guanshi Shiwu surrendered to Tubo, then Dai would still be willing to give him wealth.

But if Fang Guan doesn't know how to praise, then Dai is going to attack Wuwei City by force.

But the only question now, what about the Chishui troops in the west of Wuwei City?
Dai counted the troops. There were 1 soldiers in the vanguard army, and 5000 civilian slaves responsible for transporting military supplies and food.

These are all the soldiers and horses in Dai Ze's hands.

The Chishui Army had 3000 Tang troops hiding in the fortress, and Dai had to leave enough troops to trap the Chishui Army.

But if half of the army is left behind, there will not be enough soldiers to attack the city.

Dai was pacing back and forth in the army when an idea came to his mind.

"Chab!"

The messenger immediately walked into the big tent and said to Dai Ze, "Great general."

"Chabu, send an order immediately to let the civilians enter the barracks at night and order the army to gather outside the barracks!"

Chabu bowed his head and said yes, and immediately walked out of the big tent to deliver the order.

Although Tubo has become stronger over the years, it still maintains some backwardness in terms of military technology.

For example, there are no rules and regulations for camping, and there is no particularly strict military discipline.

The civilian husbands responsible for transporting military supplies in Tubo are often slaves. What qualifications do these slaves have to live in a relatively safe military camp, and they can only find a place to live outside the military camp.

Many civilians can only find places to sleep under trees or against rocks. They are dressed in ragged clothes. In order to prevent wild animals from attacking, they often sleep against the barracks.

Therefore, outside the big camp of the Tubo people, there are always a group of dilapidated peasants around, just like the slums of a big country in the real world.

The way Dai came up with was inspired by the story of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" brought by Monk Guangde.

Empty city plan!
Dai only planned to leave a thousand infantrymen behind, and disguised civilian men outside the barracks as soldiers to frighten the Chishui army in the castle.

And he personally led nine thousand elites to attack Wuwei City!
Leaving the civilian husbands pretending to be soldiers, naturally no one will deliver military supplies, and Dai ordered every Tubo soldier to carry dry food that can last for seven days, and march quickly to Wuwei City!
According to Dai Ze's calculations, even if Monk Guangde failed to persuade him to surrender, nine thousand Tubo elites could quickly take Wuwei City.

Dai was thinking about how his father boasted of his bravery and wisdom, while leading the army quickly out of the barracks and towards Wuwei City.

In the fortress of the Chishui Army, Shi Goro is hurrying up to repair the castle.

The Tubo army's offensive wave after wave, also relying on the defense of the city wall, barely held it.

Shi Wulang and the thousand Chishui troops who were trapped in the castle could only rely on repairing the city wall in the morning before Tubo attacked.

Morale in the castle has dropped to the extreme.

Although there is enough food and well water every day, being besieged by the Tubo army far surpassing him, Ishigoro has nightmares every day. He dreams of being brutally murdered by the Tubo people after the castle is conquered.

The captain had already sent someone to break through the siege and sent a request for help to Wuwei City, but in fact, everyone knew that the strength of the troops in Wuwei City would make it difficult for them to defend the city by themselves, let alone come to rescue the Chishui Army.

When will this day last?
Ishigoro felt deep despair.

However, the offensive of the Tibetans seems to have slowed down a bit today, not as violent as the previous few days.

This is the only thing that makes Shi Goro happy.

I don't know what happened to his wife and son in Wuwei City.

Dai led [-] elites to leave overnight. Today, those who attacked the fort were peasants from the barracks who were driven to the front. They wore the clothes of Tubo soldiers, held bamboo poles and sickles, pretended to attack for an hour, and then retreated cleanly. up.

Although the officers and soldiers of the Chishui Army were also puzzled, why the Tubo people who were fiercely offensive yesterday suddenly weakened today.

But they didn't dare to send people out of the fortress to check, they just stuck to the fortress and couldn't get out.

If there are only two sides on the battlefield, Dai Ze's plan is a bit risky, but it is also a perfect plan.

But Dai didn't know that there was a third player on the board.

And the Wanxiang Army in the sky, sitting in a hot air balloon, looked at the Tubo military camp with binoculars.

Although Dai Ze's mobilization of the army was carried out at night, the Wanxiang Army who made routine observations quickly discovered the problem.

There are significantly fewer soldiers in the Tubo barracks!

Not only were there fewer soldiers, but the slum-like civilian camps surrounding the Tubo military camp were all empty.

This unusual phenomenon was immediately reported to Yuchixin's staff by the Wanxiang Army.

There is a change in the Tubo army!
After receiving this news, Yu Chixin hurried to the war room.

Yu Chixin had already seen Wan Xiangjun's report, walked to the edge of the map, and directly asked Wan Xiangjun through the chat system.

"Are all the civilian camps outside the Tubo military camp empty?"

"Yes, Boss Yuchi. I have checked around, and there is no movement in all the civilian camps."

"What about the barracks?"

"There are also a lot fewer Tibetan soldiers in the barracks."

Yu Chixin looked at the map and paced back and forth, the result was obvious, the Tubo army sneaked away.

As for where to go, there is no doubt about it, it must be to attack Wuwei City.

All of this is in Yuchixin's plan, and Dai can't help but attack Wuwei City, which is what Yuchixin expected.

But how many people Dai brought with him is the most important question.

Yu Chixin immediately contacted Xue Hu who was in Wuwei City.

"Captain Xue, Dai Ze's army is heading towards Wuwei City!"

Although Xue Hu had been prepared for a long time, he did not expect Dai Ze's army to come so quickly.

Yu Chixin quickly asked: "Can you hold it?"

Xue Hu was a little hesitant. Although he had initially organized the city defense, he had never defended the city, and he was not sure.

Yu Chixin said: "I only need you to guard for three days, can you do it?"

three days?

Xue Hu gritted his teeth and said: "Three days, no problem! Even if I die in Wuwei City, I will have to defend for three days!"
