This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 797 Volume Surround without attacking?
When the few scouts came back, the general also had a look of regret on his face.

He had anticipated this kind of outcome, but he didn't expect it to be so tragic.

As a veteran of the battlefield, he was well aware of the capabilities of his subordinates, but he did not expect that hundreds of elite scouts who just went out to investigate the situation would suffer such heavy losses!

"What's going on?" the general asked with a frown.

The scout saw this and immediately said, "Not long after we left the city, we found the Ming camp. As soon as we discovered the Ming army's deployment, we were discovered by the Ming army and ended up fighting with them.

at last……"

He didn't say anything else, and everyone understood.

"So what did you find out?" The general didn't ask any more questions. A dead man would never come back to life no matter how much he asked.

The most important thing at this moment is how to avenge these soldiers.

The scouts did not hesitate and immediately reported everything they had learned.

The general listened very carefully and the scout spoke very carefully, but none of them knew that it was the Khitan Monk who told them all.

Of course, the general did not respond immediately after hearing this. He just arranged for people to settle the returning scouts and said no more.

……

Outside the city, Qibi Shamen also received the news and immediately said with a smile: "Okay, inform them that the whole army will rest tonight."

For him, as long as people from the city came to investigate, there would be no problem.

Moreover, he did not let everyone rest. At least the scouts were watching the city twelve hours a day.

"General, it seems that those guys in the city are really preparing to leave the city?" The deputy general asked in a low voice after everyone left.

The Qibi Shaman laughed and said, "This is inevitable. As long as we don't attack the city, they will definitely leave.

Defending the city with 500,000 people is indeed difficult for us, but to be honest, isn't it a challenge for them?"

At this point, Qibi Shamen smiled and said, "Let's let everyone take a break today. Starting tomorrow, the whole army will tighten up inside and relax outside. This general wants to see whether this national war of Northern Tianzhu can make this general look up to him."

"As long as they are not elephant soldiers, we can handle them." The deputy general smiled when he heard this.

When Khitan Shaman heard what he said, he frowned. He really didn't care about the conventional army, but when it came to the elephant soldiers, he was still a little wary. After all, they had never encountered these so-called elephant soldiers before.

Without experience, you have no right to speak.

But it was only for a moment, just a moment, and the Khiti Samana smiled and said: "The terrain of Kushinagar is not suitable for them to deploy elephant soldiers, but this reminds this general that it is time to study how to deal with elephant soldiers.

Before the expedition, His Highness said that the best weapon to deal with elephant soldiers is firearms, which we have in abundance..."

Having said that, Khibi Shaman simply discussed with his deputy general how to deal with the elephant soldiers.

The next day, Khibi Shaman still did not attack the city. At most, he sent a small force to harass one or two places.

That's enough for them.

However, at the evening of the same day, the Subi army led by Mangbo Jiesunbo finally arrived.

"No." Upon hearing the news, Qibi Shamen said immediately, "Let Mangbo Jiesunbo camp five miles behind us. If they come at this time, all our previous preparations will be wasted."

He didn't expect that Mangbo Jiesunbo's army would arrive so soon, but for him, this was not a bad thing.

After all, for him, he still has to conquer Kushinagar in the end.

"By the way, is there any news about the resentful army now?" asked the Khitan Shaman.

Upon hearing this, the deputy general shook his head and said, "The resentful army is a little far away from us, and no news has been received yet.

But it looks like it will be soon.”

Upon hearing this, Qibi Shamen nodded and said, "Send someone to check on the road. If they arrive, tell them not to come for the time being and ask them to hide their whereabouts.

If necessary, we can organize a feasible assault.

It must be said that those guys in the Resentful Army are still quite capable. Apart from anything else, in terms of combat power, they are indeed the benchmark of our Ming Dynasty."

The resentful army is a high wall that no one in the Ming Dynasty can cross.

……

Just over a hundred miles away from Kushinagar, the resentful army was also rushing towards Kushinagar at full speed.

After Zhao Yan noticed the recent changes, he realized that something was wrong.

After assessing the situation on Yang Dalang's side, he immediately decided to rush to Kushinagar for assistance.

"General, what's the situation in Kushinagar right now?" asked one of his subordinates.

They do not have Zhao Yan's overall view of the war and only know how to follow orders.

But everyone was resting at the moment, so I just asked this question casually.

Zhao Yan didn't care and immediately said with a smile: "It shouldn't be a big deal. Qibi Shamen is a famous general of the Qibi tribe after all.

Even if there is some conspiracy in Northern India, there is no need to worry, because the Khitan monks will definitely not take the risk.

You have to know that Khibi Shaman was on a southern expedition for the Khibi tribe, so he couldn't be careless.

As for why we want to rush to help, it is because Kushinagar is the key point of our southern expedition.

As for Yang Dalang, there is no need to worry at the moment. From what we know, he is very safe.

However, we don't need to be too hasty in rushing to help Kushinagar this time.

In this way, we will send scouts to find out the situation first. If we encounter the army of Khibli Samana, we will tell Khibli Samana that we will probably be stationed about 20 miles outside the city of Kushinagar.

For the time being, we still have to hide it.

As for what to do next, it all depends on what the Khitan Shamen is planning."

……

That was when Zhao Yan's resentful army arrived less than fifty miles outside the city of Kushinagar.

The defenders in Kushinagar city really took advantage of the cover of night to attack.

And the Khitan monk had been waiting for this day.

After receiving the news, he immediately took his men and rushed out to kill.

Despite being prepared, the defenders of Kushinagar suffered heavy losses.

Almost at the first encounter, he was beaten to a pulp by the Khitan Shaman. But the most interesting thing is that the Khitan Shaman did not chase him.

After killing many of the defenders, Khitan Shaman sounded the horn to call back his troops.

After a great battle, the Zhennan Army defeated the Kushinagar defenders with almost no losses.

"General, the governor of Mangbo County is here." Just as the army was retreating, one of his subordinates came running over in a hurry.

Hearing this news, Qibi Shamen became interested and said with a smile: "It seems that they also have scouts watching this side. This general thought that Mangbo Jiesunbo really didn't care about all this.

But it’s better this way. Since he also cares about this side, the subsequent siege will be more convenient.

By the way, didn’t the resentful army arrive before?

In this way, you send someone to inform Zhao Yan, and we will discuss how to take down Kushinagar afterwards.

The general will take a rest first."

After saying this, the Khitan Shaman returned to the tent.

At this time, Mangbo Jiesunbo had already arrived. Even if they had to discuss the matter together, he still had to give face to Mangbo Jiesunbo.

After all, his purpose has always been to pave the way for his future nephew.

Even though Mangbo Jiesunbo's status in the Ming Dynasty is not high, it is definitely not a bad thing to be able to gain an extra external force.

After returning to the tent, Qibi Shamen looked at Mangbo Jiesunbo who was waiting outside the tent, and immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Mangbo County Magistrate is also a talented general. In just a short period of time, he has conquered cities in Northern Tianzhu. It seems that my Ming Dynasty is indeed full of heroes!"

"General, you are joking." Mangbo Jiesunbo said with a smile, "Compared with you, what kind of general am I?"

Mangbo Jiesunpo was still very polite. He knew what Khitan Shaman meant, but he just agreed casually at this moment.

"The Magistrate of Mangbo is joking." Qibi Shamen said with a smile, "After all, the Magistrate of Mangbo was also the king of Subi in the past. It was not easy for him to fight against Tubo for so many years."

As they talked, they walked into the tent together.

On the way, Mangbo Jiesunbo asked, "By the way, General, I just heard some noise over here, what's going on? If you need anything, my army is ready to rush to your aid at any time."

His words were also a test. Although he had sent scouts before, they did not go deep into the battlefield. He was still very concerned about the situation here.

After all, Kushinagar was the capital city of the entire India. Only after taking Kushinagar could the real southern expedition begin.

Although he did not care about the credit, it would not be wrong to say that he was not paying attention to the Southern Expedition.

After all, the results of the entire southern expedition are closely related to the future of the Suobi tribe. Just based on this point, *********++.
, it is impossible for him not to pay attention.

"It seems that the Magistrate of Mangbo has also received the news." Qibi Shamen laughed and said, "It's just a small matter. Some guys in the city came out to attack the camp. Now they have been beaten back."

He was naturally aware of Mangbo Jiesunbo's purpose, but he didn't care much about it at the moment.

"By the way, Magistrate Mangbo can wait a little longer. General Zhao will be here soon. Then we can discuss together how to take down Kushinagar."

After the Khitan Shaman finished speaking, he looked at Mangbo Jiesunbo. He also wanted to know what this guy’s attitude was.

"That's fine." Mangbo Jiesunbo said with a smile, "Now that we are at the gates of the city, it will only take the general's order to break the city."

He was also flattering. As the saying goes, a fancy sedan needs people to carry it. For him, he did not want to offend the Khitan monk.

"The Magistrate of Mangbo is joking." The Khiti Samana said with a smile, "In order to conquer Kushinagar, we still need the help of the Magistrate of Mangbo and General Zhao."

The Khitans were also very humble.

The two chatted for a while.

Just as the two of them were chatting, someone came to report, saying, "General, General Zhao Yan has arrived."

Hearing this, Qibi Shamen immediately stood up and whispered, "You came at the right time." Then, Qibi Shamen looked at Mangbo Jiesunbo and said with a smile, "Come on, Mangbo County Magistrate, let's go and welcome our General Zhao together?"

The Khitan monk was still very polite to Zhao Yan. As he said, he had the qualifications.

Upon hearing this, Mangbo Jiesunbo did not object. After all, Zhao Yan did have a special status in the Ming Dynasty.

No matter what his official position was, he was, after all, a subordinate brought by Li Chengqian from the Tang Dynasty. This identity alone could not be measured by his official position.

When the two men walked out of the tent, Zhao Yan came up to them with big strides and said, "How can I be worthy of the two of you to greet me in person?"

"General Zhao is too modest." Upon hearing this, Qibi Shamen said with a smile, "Regardless of other things, as the pioneers of our Ming army, we are just the younger generation."

"Yes." Mangbo Jiesunbo also smiled, "General Zhao is indeed a pioneer in our Ming army, regardless of other things. It is only natural for us to go out and greet him."

Zhao Yan's identity is indeed somewhat transcendent, at least in the Ming Dynasty?

"You two are too polite." Zhao Yan naturally knew what they meant, and said, "I have only followed Your Highness for a little longer. In the Ming Dynasty, seniority is never used to prove anything. Throughout the court, ability has always been the criterion.

I'm sure both of you are aware of this."

He would not take advantage of his age and seniority, and in the Ming Dynasty, he did not need to do so.

He knew Li Chengqian best.

After exchanging greetings, they returned to the tent together.

After returning to the tent, Zhao Yan no longer hesitated and asked immediately, "I wonder what General Qibi's plan is?"

"I wonder if you two know about the current situation?" The Khitan monk did not answer immediately, but asked.

Mangbo Jiesunbo subconsciously looked at Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan smiled and said, "General Qibi, please introduce me to him?"

He certainly knew something, but he would not say it. The Southern Expedition was led by the Khitan Monks, so how could he possibly interfere?

Upon hearing this, Khiti Shaman laughed and said, "As things stand now, Northern India has gathered nearly 100,000 troops in Kushinagar, and more than 500,000 civilians at the same time. Now that everyone is defending the city, it will not be easy to storm it.

Just tonight, Kushinagar sent a large army to attack our camp, but of course, we beat them back.

The Magistrate of Mambo should know this."

Mangbo Jiesunbo nodded when he heard this. They had just talked about this, and it was the first time Zhao Yan heard of it. But he was not surprised. He was just a little confused at the moment and asked, "The Kushinagar defender is so fierce? After besieging the city, he dared to go out of the city to meet the enemy?"

Speaking of this, Khiti Samana laughed and said, "It's not their fault. After all, this is our goal. Kushinagar is surrounded by us, but until now, we have not laid siege, which puts pressure on them.

After all, there are 500,000 people in the city, and 500,000 people also need an answer."

"General, do you mean to surround but not attack?" Zhao Yan immediately understood what he meant and said with a smile, "In other words, our goal is not to attack the city? But to cause panic in the city?"

"Yes and no." The Khitan monk said and laughed.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yan asked immediately.
