Chapter 70 The plan to break the city
"According to the legend of the Tubo people, more than thirty Zanpus have been passed down, but before, they were only one of the tribes in the snow. It was not until Songtsen Ganbu that they truly established the country. During his reign, they moved the capital to Luosai, quelled civil strife, conquered Xiangxiong, married Princess Wencheng and the Tang Dynasty to become the country of father-in-law and son-in-law, annexed the tribes of the Tianzhu, and expanded to Tuyuhun.
He reigned for more than 20 years, developing agriculture and animal husbandry, promoting irrigation, formulating texts, promulgating "Great Decrees", and reconciling the relationship between Zanpu royal family and aristocrats, small states and tribes, creating the administrative and military system of the Tubo country today, sending envoys to Chang'an National Studies, imitating the Tang Dynasty to establish official ranks, promulgating laws, unifying weights and tax systems.
This person is actually a powerful lord who is not born in the world.
If he was given another ten years, Tubo would truly unite the forces of various tribes and become one.
Even if Tubo in Tuyuhun is annexed in another five years, its national strength will be taken to a higher level.
Now, it is the best fighter.
Your Majesty ordered me to be the chief general of the Dao, and all I hope was to achieve was to achieve my best in one battle.
In this battle, you will win the battle and win the attack.
All the generals took their lives and soldiers arrived first.
When I am breaking the city of Luo, I personally ask His Majesty the Emperor for the decree, and I will give you all the rewards and praises!”
"I wish to respect the general manager!"
"The generals returned to the camp to prepare for the last day of rest today, and make meals at the Yin hour tomorrow. If you eat enough, you will follow me to kill the enemy!"
"Here!"
Dozens of generals in the tent saluted with their hands crossed and responded loudly.
"Su Dawei and Wang Fangyi stay for a while."
Su Dingfang waved.
Wang Fangyi bowed and whispered a few words to Ashina beside him.
Continue military affairs.
Asuna Momo was a brave general of the Anxi Protectorate and a naturalized Turkic general.
The Ashina family is the surname of the Golden Family among the Turks.
It means a noble wolf, and it also has the meaning of blue.
Ashina is therefore called the "Blue Turks".
Many naturalized Hu generals in the Tang army came from the Asina family.
For example, the famous Ashina Sheer is the father of Ashina Daozhen.
And Asina Zhong.
Asuna Momo and Asuna Sheer are brothers, so according to seniority, they should be Asuna Dao’s true uncle.
He had been serving in Anxi Protectorate's Mansion before.
The Tang army led by Wang Fangyi all came from the soldiers recruited by the four Anxi towns.
Most of them were recruited by Hu servants.
It is really difficult for Anxi Protectorate to defend the vast land in the southern border of the Tianshan Mountains.
It is already doing its best to be able to distinguish these people.
The most difficult thing is not the issue of military source.
If the military source is insufficient, the Hu soldiers and servants from all ethnic groups in the Western Regions can be summoned.
The most troublesome thing is the shortage of middle and grassroots generals.
Fortunately, most of the outstanding generals of the reinforcements he brought were sent to the West Road, otherwise it would be difficult for Wang Fangyi to travel in the short term.
Of course, in terms of specific military affairs, Wang Fangyi relied more on long-term cooperation with the original general of the Anxi Protectorate, Ashina, which was also the subject of the question.
Su Dawei also ordered the military affairs to Xue Li.
When he was not here, Xue Rengui was in charge of his own command.
Although Xue Rengui still lacked a little in the overall situation during the battle, he was suspected of a wave of war.
But in addition, all the skills in the military are of first-class level, and the values are almost full.
It is a little better than Ashinadaozhen and the others.
In addition, An Wensheng, Wang Xuance, Li Bo and others helped.
Even if Su Dawei himself is not in the central army's tent, there will be no trouble.
After all the generals withdrew, Su Dawei saluted Su Dingfang first and said, "Master General, don't you know who we are?"
"map."
Su Dingfang raised his hand.
Su Qingjie, who was standing beside him, found a scroll-shaped map from the table where the books were high, looked at everyone, and walked a few steps to the screen beside him.
In fact, it is not a screen, but a blank wooden rack that can be hung on the map.
He reached out and hung the map on it and expanded it.
Su Dingfang said: "This map is the terrain near Luosie City. I know that Ami, you are very useful in promoting sand tables in the army, but time is urgent, so use this first..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly frowned and said, "What does this smile mean? Do you have a more complete map? Take it out."
The last three words, the sound turns sharp.
Su Dawei was shocked and hurriedly crossed his hands and said, "To be honest, I just found out the city defense of some cities last night, so..."
Su Dawei was not doing nothing when he surrounded the site near Luoshe City for several months.
The most important thing is to spy on intelligence.
And Su Dingfang also thought of this.
His own map was also collected through information from all parties, but there were only terrain maps outside the city.
As for what the city in Luoshe is like, it is still a fog for the time being.
Therefore, the map hanging on Su Qingjie is clear about the mountains, rivers and rivers around it, but the direction of some cities can only be marked, and a large piece is blank.
"The picture is in my mind, please write it."
Su Dingfang glanced at him, raised his lips slightly, and smiled: "It seems that he has not given up his skills during the scout camp. I will give him a pen for the holiday."
Su Qingjie had already picked up the brush from the side, and dipped it ink, and quickly walked to Su Dawei and handed the pen to him.
Su Dawei held the pen next to the map, pondered for a moment, and raised his wrist to draw it.
His memory is excellent, and as his alien level improves, he becomes more and more clear-headed.
Have the ability to remember everything you see.
In recent years, in addition to practicing archery, I have also been a bit involved in calligraphy.
This stroke is like flying dragons and phoenixes, which is quite powerful.
With just a few strokes, the outer city of Luoshe City roughly outlined.
Think for a moment, and start writing and smearing out the blank space in the middle.
After a moment, the structure of the city is presented in the picture.
"Hey, this picture..."
Wang Fangyi, who had been silent, stepped forward two steps, his eyes widened.
A look of excitement appeared on his fair face.
This map of Su Dawei is different from the ordinary map of the Tang army.
Even the most exquisite military map of the Tang army is still flat and rough and simple.
At most, it marks where mountains and rivers are and where there are rivers.
Where is the key offensive and defense?
Where can an ambush be set up?
The pictures drawn by Su Dawei are three-dimensional.
From the perspective of later generations, he never stood the flat map of the Tang Army.
For this purpose, sand tables were specially made.
Although it is not time to make a sand table, the pictures he draws are still transparent and three-dimensional.
This makes it look clearer and more intuitive.
The only disadvantage is that it is somewhat out of place compared to the surrounding topographic map.
One is 2D and the other is 3D. It would be strange if it is compatible.
"How strange, there are actually people who draw such pictures in this world, which is clear and clear."
Su Dingfang gently stroked the white beard on his chest, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then opened.
"I almost forgot the main thing. Ami, your picture is so good, and you can also promote it in the army in the future. Let's not talk about this for now. I'll leave you two, which is about the attack and defense of Luoshecheng tomorrow..."
"What does the chief executive mean?"
"It's August now, the plateau is starting to become cold. We don't have much time left. If we can't conquer the logic before the beginning of winter, we may miss the opportunity. Therefore, if we don't fight in this battle, we must do all means to break the logic as soon as possible."
“This is nature.”
"Lois cities are tall and thick. The Ami map is very useful, allowing us to understand the structure of their city, where to facilitate transporting troops, and find their flaws. However, the military book says, "Ten surrounds". If our troops are still good in the field, if we want to break out of a strong city like Lois, it will probably take a long time and suffer a lot of losses, so we have to think of other ways."
Su Dawei and Wang Fangyi were silent for a moment. Both of them were familiar with military tactics, so they naturally knew that the Tang army came from afar and was a guest army.
Belongs to the tree without roots.
If you don’t think of other ways and just attack the city, you will be afraid that you will be stuck under the strong city.
In the past, Emperor Taizong attacked Liaodong because the city was unable to defeat it in the end.
The weather suddenly became cold, so we had to withdraw our troops from Goguryeo.
"We have to think of a way to lure the defenders in the city out, and it will be easier to pull them out."
"If the guardian of the city was not a fool, he would not dare to go out of the city to fight."
Su Dingfang looked at the two of them and spoke, "There is one more thing, Lun Qinling."
"On Qinling?"
"After the subsequent 100,000 reinforcements arrived in Wuwei, I reorganized them and consolidated the defense line. He then advanced lightly. To discuss Qinling's sense of smell, he should be able to detect something wrong, and he didn't have many choices."
"Either you will tear a hole in the mighty defense line while the chief executive is not in command of the defense line and continue to advance eastward; or you will give up Tuyuhun and lead your subordinates to chase our army, and fight with our army at the Luoshe city."
Wang Fangyi frowned and said, "If it is the first type, Lun Qinling continues to use troops in the direction of the Tang Dynasty, it will be a dead end."
The Tubo place can be said to be the most peculiar piece of land in the world.
The Tang Dynasty called it the supreme realm.
The Tang Dynasty endured the Tubo provocations several times before.
It is not only because of the enemy of Liaodong, but also because the land in Tubo is too difficult to fight.
To the east of Tubo, it was blocked from the Hengduan Mountains from the Tang Dynasty, making it difficult to transport troops and grain.
Even if you cross the Hengduan Mountains, there is still a land of Sichuan and Shu in front of you.
Li Bai always shouted oh hee when he saw it!
The only ancient road in Tang and Tibet is almost a triathlon, and it is not something that ordinary people can walk on.
Su Dawei sent troops from Chang'an, with ten thousand people, and traveled twice and arrived in Wuwei, which took almost eight months.
It took nearly a year and a half to get here.
Unless Lun Qinling is really crazy, he will continue to advance eastward at the critical moment of Tubo's life and death.
Even if the logistics supply is abandoned and various problems of reducing personnel in the army are missing, the Fan army will not be able to break through a series of barriers to the Tang army without more than a year.
By then, I was afraid that Tubo would have already planted all the Tang flags and sent a song of Lu Qinling to a cool song.
"So, when it comes to Qinling, it must come."
"We will attack more logically tomorrow, beware of him and attack our army from behind."
Su Dingfang looked around the two of them with serious expressions: "My idea is to use the tricks and use Lun Qinling's move to lure the Tubo defenders out of the city."
"This is a dangerous move."
Su Dawei stared at the map and murmured: "To lure the defenders of Luoshe City out, one must first refer to Qinling, but we don't know when he will come, and we don't know how many people he will bring, and the other must be defeated like him.
If the show is too fake, it will not be able to deceive the defenders in the city.
