Ganzhou, Linggu City, Tang army tent.

The capitalist Niu Shin-Cheng has a big head and a big face, long eyebrows and hair, and a pair of tiger eyes are always on guard.

After years of war, he developed a habit of stroking the long sword around his waist from time to time and preparing to fight at any time.

Now, he was sitting in the big tent, and it was already October. If he dragged on, the war would move in a direction that was unfavorable to the Tang army.

The little guard brought a bronze hand stove, but he was furious before he could hand it to Niu Shizhuo.

"Take it away, mom, can you use this for the big guys?"

"General, it's cold, and you're wearing thin clothes." The guard held the hand stove and didn't leave. There was another reason, he didn't say it clearly.

Niu Shizhao is already very old, in his fifties. Strictly speaking, he is already an old man. In Luoyang City, his great-grandson can walk.

The body is naturally not as good as before and is not resistant to freezing.

"I'm so thin, I'm so hot that I'm sweating all over. What's going on with me? What's going on?"

The opposite he pointed to was the Tubo military camp ten miles away on Qilian City.

"There is no movement, the patrol sentry is always on guard."

“How was the tunnel dug?”

"I have been working day and night, and I have dug three inches deep."

"Okay, prepare more ladder climbing, it's worthwhile when sieging the city."

"Yes, General, I will continue to command now."

Niu Shizhao waved his hand, the little guard bowed and left.

After a long time, Niu Shizhao looked up and saw that the small hand stove was still on his desk.

This little boy is quite mindful.

He was really not cold, but the hand stove was still very hot, so it was no longer necessary to waste it. Niu Shizhao put it in his arms.

Five days have passed, and Chen Jiao didn't even hear back. Has he found the reinforcements of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Has his plan been conveyed smoothly?

He held his hand stove and circled around the big tent. After more than ten days of fighting, the war on his side also fell into a stalemate.

This battle is no different from the past. Tubo is on the offensive side, while the Tang army is on the defensive counterattack side.

The Tubo Legion had the advantage of geographical advantage, and it continued to attack fiercely and repeatedly charged. Although the Tang army was tenacious, it could only resist passively and could not seize the initiative in the battle.

Niu Shizhao guarded the Anxi Protectorate for many years. During the continuous battles, his hatred for Tubo penetrated deep into his bones.

This time, Tubo was even more crazy and aggressive. Niu Shizhuo understood that they were not good at coming and they were determined to win the strategic location of Ganzhou.

Especially the Tubo generals on the opposite side, Wu Qi was bald, young and vigorous, and had a sharp tactics. The initial battles caused the unprepared Niu Shizhuo to suffer a great loss.

Fortunately, Niu Shizuo has rich experience and a calm temperament. After a few stops, he quickly stabilized his position. Otherwise, he would be defeated in a bad situation.

But in recent days, the Tubo Legion under the leadership of Wuqitu seems a bit strange.

The fierce charge disappeared, from the main general to the ordinary soldiers, all Duyingcheng defended themselves and kept their doors away.

The two armies were in a row, and the Tubo sentry ignored the provocative behavior of the Tang army, shook their heads and ignored them.

Is this also called fighting?

Such a conservative approach is inconsistent with the original intention of Wuqitu launching this battle. How can you seize the position by staying in the city gate every day?

However, he calmed down, and the Tang army, who was on the defensive, would naturally not feel unhappy. They also closed the city gate and would never provoke.

The situation of the war is changing rapidly. Niu Shizhao knew that not to send troops did not mean that he had stopped planning in his heart.

Of course, the scheming Niu Shin-Cheng was not forgotten.

In a rare moment of calm, he pulled out the polished shiny sword and waved the sword to express his passion in this Tang army tent.

The little guard guarding outside the tent saw two big men in Hu clothing walking towards this side from afar.

He was covered in mud and had a dark face, especially the taller one, with steady steps, and looks so much like the deputy guardian Chen Jiao!

He wiped his eyes hard and looked carefully. Oh my god, this is Chen Duhu!

No more nonsense, quickly lift the curtain of the tent and send the tired two people in.

"General Niu, Chen Dupu is back!"

"Please sit down!" Niu Shizhao returned to the sheath of the treasure knife and ordered the little guards: "Go and make a basin of clear water, it's going to be hot!"

"yes!"

Without further ado, Chen Jiao quickly introduced both sides. Wu Yanzong also took advantage of this space to look at the border general Niu Shizhuo, who had been guarding the Anxi Protectorate for seven or eight years and maintained peace in one side.

This is a tiger general!

According to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's speculation, this person is not only brave but also strategic.

"General, what instructions does the Crown Prince have?"

The plan was put aside first, and Wu Yanzong knew that what the Tang army needed most now was support.

"Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness the Crown Prince has led the Tang army to capture Dafeichuan. Wuqi can't go back, and his retreat has been cut off!"

"That's great!" Niu Shizhao slapped his thighs hard, his excitement beyond words.

"And, he has no food!"

"The reinforcements intercepted the letters of Wuqitu urged for food. Now the food of the Tuyuhun tribe has been intercepted by our army. They are dead this time!"

The food was out of stock, no wonder, the strange behavior of the Tubo Legion was explained this time. Niu Shizhao stroked his chin and said happily: "This kid has no food, no wonder he hasn't come out to move these days."

"Just let me lead my army out tonight and completely defeat them!"

"No, we have a way to make them collapse without fighting."

"The general of the war means..."

"Train him, fatigue tactics."

This is also what Li Jun meant. He has long said that he is a kind person from the bottom of his heart. As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the commander of an army, the goal he wants to achieve is to minimize the casualties of the Tang army.

The war was still fighting, and Tubo soldiers were all the way. Even Wu Yanzong and Chen Jiao changed their costumes when they came here, and they didn't dare to bring a follower. They sneaked into the tunnel before running over. Li Jun couldn't deliver the ammunition in his hand. The Tang army in Anxi Protectorate had to use their body to fight with the Tubo soldiers.

Li Jun was full of guilt towards them, so he sent Wu Yanzong as a special envoy to convey his strategy to Niu Shi Award in a comprehensive and accurate manner.

To be precise, it was to use fatigue tactics to drag down the Wuqitu tribe. After all, according to letters and news of the Tubo soldiers killed outside the Yongjia warehouse, Wuqitu had indeed lost food, and the Tang army had sufficient food reserves.

It's not a problem to delay for ten days and half a month.

At this time, Li Jun led a large army to hide in the rear of the Tubo Legion and gradually eroded their strongholds.

When Wuqi Tugou was anxious to jump over the wall, Li Jun and Niu Shizhuo surrounded each other in both directions, and Wuqi Tugou's tribe was the prey in Tang Jun's pocket.

However, such tactics still require the corresponding conditions for Niu Shinzhao.
