If the Shibao City cannot be captured, the plateau battles must be carried out. The Tang army will have to cross mountains and ridges, which will be very expensive. Therefore, Li Longji has been thinking about how to capture Shibao City.

The Tang Dynasty attacked Shibao City for decades, and used all kinds of tactics, such as surprise attacks, night attacks, and frontal attacks... All the methods that could be thought of were used, but they could not be defeated.

Yang Sixu's three words "throw something" passed through Li Longji's heart like a bright lightning flash. He suddenly thought of a solution that would inevitably lead to the stone castle city.

"What plan?" The generals widened their eyes and looked at Li Longji with anticipation, waiting for him to express his thoughts.

Li Longji was extremely smart and resourceful. He always had wonderful ideas. This was verified when fighting the Turks. He said that there must be a way, and it would be impossible to make the generals not anxious.

"Transmission: Collect ashes." However, Li Longji did not explain it to them, but ordered loudly.

"Ash? What are you doing to collect the ash?" The generals were puzzled.

"Crown Prince, how ugly?" Some general thought he had heard it wrong.

"It is the ashes after the firewood is burned, the more the better." Li Longji affirmed.

The generals were stunned, their eyes widened, with confusion on their faces.

Ash, this is a waste, what's the use? Can this defeat the Stone Castle City? It's really crazy.

If it weren't for Li Longji's words, the generals would have called Li Longji crazy.

Even the wise Zhang Shuo was puzzled and asked, "Prince, what should I do to be ashamed?"

These words were exactly what the generals thought, and they all opened their eyes wide and stared at Li Longji, for fear of missing a detail.

"I know when it comes." Li Longji immediately said: "I won't do it for the time being when crossing mountains and ridges. I think we can capture Shibao City in one fell swoop. Let's march from Shibao City."

"Catch it in one fell swoop?" The generals all rolled their eyes, and they all didn't believe it.

"Crown Prince, although you are extremely wise and powerful, do you know? How difficult is the Stone Castle City? In order to defeat the Stone Castle City, what methods have never been used in the Tang Dynasty? As long as you can think of it, we have used them. Does anyone dare to say that you will capture it in one fell swoop?" Some generals ignored it and shouted: "Crown Prince, you are too arrogant."

"That's right." The generals agreed in unison.

The hardship of the stone castle city is hard to fight. Who doesn’t know? Even if Li Jing is famous underground, he dare not speak like this.

"Crown Prince, do you take it seriously?" Chen Xuanli was surprised and suspicious.

"Have I ever told lies?" Li Longji asked back.

"Nothing." Chen Xuanli was stunned.

"Since the prince is so sure, that's inevitable. Don't say anything, go and prepare." Zhang said that although he couldn't figure out what method Li Longji would use, he chose to support Li Longji out of trust in Li Longji.

Although the generals did not believe it, they had to execute the order and began to collect the ashes.

Ashes, there are many in the army. Hundreds of thousands of troops raised fire and cooked. How much ash is that? It is not difficult to collect them. More than ten thousand kilograms were collected soon.

"It's almost enough." Li Longji nodded.

The next day, Li Longji was promoted to the tent. He summoned all the generals and said, "Today, it will be a good day to conquer Shibao City."

He was very interested and spoke happily, but the generals did not believe it, no one agreed, and no one applauded it.

What a joyful thing to conquer Shibao City? Logically speaking, the generals should be happy, but Li Longji's words are too big, whoever believes is a fool.

"Yang Sixu, you and Xue Zhi lead an army into the river valley. After I succeed, you will lead the army to attack and take down the Shibao City in one fell swoop." Li Longji did not explain to the generals, but directly ordered.

"After the order." Yang Sixu couldn't figure it out, but he had to accept the order.

"Zhang said, choose 500 people to follow me." Li Longji said.

"Okay. I'll choose five hundred elites." Zhang said immediately.

"What do you want to do with elite troops? Five hundred leading troops will be made." Li Longji vetoed.

"What? Don't want elite troops? Want to be a leader?" The generals were so shocked that they almost dropped their eyes to the ground.

Don’t have elite troops, but you want to have a leader. Do you think this is cooking? Can you kill the stone castle city by cooking a meal?

It's really a mess!

"Prince, let's choose elites." Zhang Xiaofei hurriedly reminded.

"It's not a rush, it's very elite, the leader's army is enough." Li Longji waved his hand in a grand manner, stood up, and walked away quickly.

"If you don't rush? If you don't rush, can you win the stone castle city?" The generals' eyes fell all over the floor.

Zhang Shuo came to five hundred leading troops and followed Li Longji. Li Longji led these five hundred leading troops not toward Shibao City, but toward the top of the mountain opposite Shibao City.

Soon, they climbed to the top of the mountain, and the group put the gray bag on the ground, all of them looking confused.

Zhang Shuo came to the top of the mountain and saw that Shibao City was opposite, about the same height as the top of the mountain. His eyes lit up suddenly and he exclaimed: "Good idea! Good idea!"

"Mr. Zhang, what are you calling ghosts? The prince is doing things randomly, and you are doing things randomly."

"That's right, can we stand here and knock down the stone castle city? Do we have to rely on our eyes to stare at the Tubo dogs?"

The generals accused each other, saying that Zhang was crazy about gaining and losing his mind.

Chen Xuanli nodded as if he had some understanding.

Yang Sixu and Xue Zhi led a thousand troops into the river valley, came to the mountain road leading directly to Shibao City, and formed a formation, waiting for Li Longji's general order.

Shibao City is located in a river valley, between two mountains, one side is the Tang territory and the other side is the Tubo territory.

The Tubo general who guarded Shibao City was named Grey Pingcuo. He was in his forties, tall and smart. Standing on the top of the city, he looked at Yang Sixu and the others and sneered, "The Tang army is here to die again, and we will fulfill them."

"Haha." Tubo soldiers had absolute confidence in the Shibao City. Over the past decades, the Tang Dynasty had attacked many times, but they failed to shake Shibao City, even if it was a slightest.

"Tang Army, you are so brave and not afraid of death. OK, OK, OK, OK!" Greepcuo shouted loudly: "Tang Army, you can attack quickly! The warriors of the Great Tubo want to cut off your dog's head!"

The sound was heard from afar like thunder. Yang Sixu and the others could hear it clearly, and the Tang army soldiers were so angry that they gritted their teeth.

"Damn it! Tubo dogs are so arrogant!"

"General, order an attack! We must cut off the dog's head!"

The soldiers were very angry and shouted endlessly, wishing to rush up immediately and chop off the heads of the Tubo soldiers.

"Wait for the prince to order." Yang Sixu said coldly without moving his voice.

Yang Sixu is very talented in military affairs and is extremely calm in mind. Of course, he will not make mistakes when he is angry.

"Wait? How long will it take?" It's better if I waited, it took me a long time. It took me a full hour, but I didn't have Li Longji's general order, and the soldiers were a little impatient.

During this hour, the Tubo people kept provoking them, making them unable to bear it and bite a bite of steel teeth.

On the top of the mountain, the generals were talking louder and louder. As they looked at Li Longji, they became more and more disdainful. They said, "Prince, don't you have a way to conquer the Shibao City? Take action quickly."

"Yes, you can conquer it in one fell swoop. After waiting for so long, can you still be conquer it in one fall?"

"Stone Castle City is so difficult to fight, how could it be captured in one fell swoop?"

The shouts of the generals were so loud, like thunder.

"Shut up." Zhang Shuo's face darkened and he said coldly: "The prince has his own tricks, and it's not something you can see through. If you want you to wait, just wait."

"Wait? We've been waiting for an hour."

"What are you waiting for?"

The generals said disdainfully.

"Wait for the wind." Chen Xuanli also figured it out and explained.

"Wind? What do you want the wind to do?" The eyes of the generals almost fell to the ground.

What is the wind in war? I haven’t heard of it.

"The wind is of great use." Zhang Shuo raised his head and chest, and said excitedly: "Kong Ming borrowed the east wind and defeated Cao Cao in one fell swoop. The prince borrowed the southeast wind and broke the stone castle city in one fell swoop."

His words were filled with enthusiasm, but they caused a ridicule from the generals, saying, "Kong Ming borrowed the east wind to burn Cao's camp, that was to burn it with fire. There was a boat on the river. This is Shibao City, which is bare. Even if you borrow strong wind, what's the use? What can you burn it?"

"That's right! That's right!" the generals agreed in unison.

Kong Ming used the east wind to burn Cao Cao's camp because there were boats to burn. It was bare here, and all the stones caught your eye. Can you still burn the stones?

All generals must believe that unless the sun comes out from the west.

"Whoo!" The wind sounded and the trees rustled.

"The wind is blowing." Li Longji raised his brow and looked at the flag that was inserted on the ground. He saw that the flag was flying northwest, which was the direction of Shibao City.

"Very good." Li Longji nodded, feeling very relieved.

"What's good about this?" The generals looked at the flag and then the stone castle city, but they didn't find any relationship between the two.

After a gust, the wind became even more intense and the trees tilted towards the Shibao City.

"Start! Sprinkle the ashes! Hurry!" Li Longji ordered loudly.

Five hundred leaders sprinkled ashes with all their strength, and soon, more than 10,000 kilograms of ashes were sprinkled.

I saw a vast white area, like a huge gray mist, heading towards the stone castle city.

"This is..." The generals' eyes widened, and they watched the gray fog hit the stone castle city, which soon covered the stone castle city.

Gree Pingcuo led the Tubo soldiers to yell, and like thunder, it demoted the Tang Dynasty to worthlessness and scolded the Tang army for shit.

Just as he was so proud that a sharp-eyed Tubo soldier noticed the gray fog and screamed in his throat: "What is that? What a big cloud."

"Yun?" Gree Pingcuo opened his eyes wide and looked at the gray fog, looking confused, and said, "How could the clouds be so low? How could it go straight to Stone Castle City?"
