Dai Ze remembered the teachings of his father Shang Qixin'er, and his first goal after leaving the Qilian Mountains was to swallow up the Chishui Army in the 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 is a large and prosperous city with a larger population than Tianqian City!
Dai Ze 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 is coveted by every Tubo warrior.
But now this pearl is already at Dai Ze's mouth, and he can swallow it by just sticking out his tongue.
According to information interrogated from prisoners of war, there are currently less than a thousand defenders in Wuwei City.
Wuwei City's defenses were lax, and Hexi Jiedushi Fang Guan was another idiot who didn't know how to fight.
Dai Ze followed Guangde's suggestion and sent him to Wuwei City to persuade him to surrender.
However, regardless of whether Guangde could persuade Fang Guan to surrender, Dai Ze was ready to deploy troops to force the city.
If Fang Guanshi surrenders to Tubo, Dai Ze will still be willing to give him wealth.
But if Fang Guan doesn't know how to praise, then Dai Ze will prepare to attack Wuwei City by force.
But the only question now is, what to do with the Chishui Army in the west of Wuwei City?
Dai Ze counted the troops and found that there were 10,000 soldiers in the vanguard army and 5,000 civilian slaves responsible for transporting military supplies and food.
This is all the troops and horses in Dai Ze's hands.
There were 3,000 Tang troops hiding in the fortress of the Chishui Army, so Dai had to leave enough troops to trap the Chishui Army.
But if half of the army is left, there will not be enough soldiers to attack the city.
Dai Ze was pacing back and forth in the army, and an idea came to his mind.
"Chabu!"
The messenger immediately walked into the big tent and said to Dai Ze: "Great general."
"Chabu, please immediately send an order for the civilians to enter the military camp at night and order the army to assemble outside the military camp!"
Chabu lowered his head and said yes, and immediately walked out of the tent to deliver the order.
Although Tubo has become much stronger in recent years, it still maintains some backwardness in military technology.
For example, there are no rules for setting up camp, and there is no particularly strict military discipline.
The civilian men responsible for transporting military supplies in Tubo were often slaves. How were these slaves qualified to live in relatively safe military camps? They could only find a place to live outside the military camps.
Many civilians can only find a place 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 military camps.
Therefore, outside the Tibetan camp, there is always a group of shabby civilians, just like the slums of a large country in the real world.
The method Dai Ze came up with was inspired by the story of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" brought by monk Guangde.
Empty city plan!
Dai Ze planned to leave only a thousand infantrymen and use civilians outside the military camp to disguise themselves as soldiers to scare the Chishui Army in the castle.
And he personally led nine thousand elites to attack Wuwei City!
The civilians were left to pretend to be soldiers, so naturally there would be no one to transport military supplies. Dai Ze also ordered every Tibetan soldier to carry dry food that could 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 Tibetan elites could quickly capture Wuwei City.
Dai Ze thought about how his father boasted about his bravery and wisdom, and led the army to quickly rush out of the military camp and rush to Wuwei City.
In the fortress of the Chishui Army, Shi Wulang was seizing the time to repair the castle.
The Tibetan army attacked one after another, and relied on the defense of the city wall to barely hold on.
Shi Wulang and the thousand Chishui troops trapped in the castle could only repair the city wall in the morning before the Tibetans attacked.
The morale in the castle has dropped to the extreme.
Although there was enough food and water every day, he was besieged by the Tubo army that far exceeded his own. Shi Wulang had nightmares every day, dreaming about the scene where he was brutally killed by the Tubo people after the castle was captured.
The captain has already sent people to break out of the encirclement and sent a letter asking for help to Wuwei City, but in fact everyone knows that the strength of the troops in Wuwei City is not even enough to defend the city, let alone come to rescue the Chishui Army.
How long will this kind of life last?
Ishigoro felt deep despair.
However, the Tibetan offensive seems to have slowed down a bit today and is not as fierce as it was in the past few days.
This is also the only place that makes Shigoro feel happy.
I don’t know what happened to my wife and son in Wuwei City.
Dai Ze led nine thousand elites to leave overnight. Those who attacked the fortress today were civilians from the military camp who were driven to the front line. They wore the clothes of Tibetan soldiers and held bamboo poles and sickles. They pretended to attack for an hour and then retreated cleanly.
Already.
Although the officers and soldiers of the Chishui Army were also puzzled as to why the Tibetans, who were attacking fiercely yesterday, suddenly weakened today.
However, they did not dare to send anyone out of the fortress to check, they just held on to the fortress and did not leave.
If there were only two sides on the battlefield, Daize's plan, although a little risky, would be a pretty perfect one.
But Dai Ze didn't know that there was a third player on the chessboard.
Wan Xiangjun, who was in the sky, was sitting in a hot air balloon and looking at the Tibetan military camp through binoculars.
Although Dai Ze mobilized the army at night, Wan Xiangjun's routine observation quickly discovered the problem.
There are obviously many fewer soldiers in the Tubo military camp!
Not only were there fewer soldiers, but the slum-like civilian camps surrounding the Tubo military camp were also all empty.
This unusual phenomenon was immediately reported to Yuchixin's staff by Wan Xiangjun.
There is something strange happening in the Tubo army!
After receiving the news, Yu Chixin hurried to the war room.
Yu Chixin had already seen Wan Xiangjun's report and walked to the edge of the map. He directly asked Wan Xiangjun through the chat system.
"Are all the civilian camps outside the Tubo military camp empty?"
"Yes, Boss Yuchi. I have looked around and there is no movement in all the civilian camps."
"What about in the military camp?"
"There are also many fewer Tibetan soldiers in the military camp."
Yu Chixin looked at the map and paced back and forth. The result was obvious. The Tibetan army sneaked away.
As for where to go, there is no doubt. It must be to attack Wuwei City.
All of this was in Yuchixin's plan. Dai Ze would not be able to resist attacking Wuwei City. This was something Yuchixin expected.
But how many people Dai Ze 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 was prepared, he did not expect Dai Ze's army to arrive so quickly.
Yu Chixin quickly asked: "Can you hold it?"
Xue Hu was a little hesitant. Although he had initially organized a city defense, he had never defended the city before, and he was unsure.
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 defend it for three days!"
