If the situation is not desperate, Zhao Chen is really unwilling to use this method of attacking the city.
Seeing Qin Huaiyu looking like he was about to leave, Zhao Chen patted him on the shoulder, told the two of them to have a good rest, and then went to the Central Army.
As for Zhao Chen, he didn't want to get this thing out.
Although the cupping thrown out today gave Zhao Chen inspiration, after all, he didn't know whether it was good or bad after he opened it.
He didn't know whether Old Li Tou could still control his ambition once this thing came out.
But getting through the current crisis is the most important thing.
Otherwise, one of Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu would have to lose his life on the Songzhou battlefield.
On the way back to the Central Army, Zhao Chen would encounter groups of Tang soldiers from time to time.
Compared with the high morale before, many soldiers today have their heads lowered.
Two consecutive days of defeat have destroyed most people's confidence.
If this continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even hold on.
…
In the central military tent, Niu Jinda's eyes were full of cold light, and he scanned the generals in the tent.
Today, even the Chinese army was almost captured by the Tibetans. This is a great shame and humiliation!
If he can't come back with revenge, he won't be able to hold his head up in the future!
More than a dozen generals stood bowed, their chins lowered to their chests, not even daring to say a word.
The atmosphere was tense to the extreme.
Everyone can understand the rage in Niu Jinda's heart at this moment.
"Does anyone want to talk and come up with a plan?" Niu Jinda's gloomy voice broke the dullness in the camp.
All the generals looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces.
From the beginning of the battle with the Tibetan army, they had already put forward a lot of opinions.
But in the end it was of no use at all.
Some generals even came up with the stupid idea of trapping the enemy and consuming their food and fodder, but Niu Jinda gave him a severe lesson at that time.
Fifty thousand trapped enemies and 150,000? In addition, there are more than 100,000 fleeing civilians on our side?
What kind of wisdom is this to come up with the idea of trapping the enemy and consuming his food and fodder?
Niu Jinda's teeth were broken, and the attacks for two consecutive days failed. The morale of the army's officers and men was obviously lost a lot.
If we can't think of a way anymore, there will be no need to attack the city tomorrow.
Looking at the silent generals, Niu Jinda sighed, feeling extremely irritated, and waved his hand: "Let the soldiers be careful and leave!"
When the generals who were already trembling with fear heard this, they all ran away faster than rabbits.
After walking out of the camp, everyone let out a sigh of relief, with a look of worry on their faces.
Zhao Chen happened to come outside the commander's tent, thinking to avoid a long night and many dreams, he had to resolve the matter quickly.
Niu Jinda's bodyguard went in to report, and then came out with a gloomy face. Niu Jinda's angry roar came from the camp: "Everyone, get out of here."
Lao Niu was furious, Zhao Chen had already expected this when he came.
"Old Niutou, I have a way to help you break the city. You..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Chen felt a black shadow rushing towards him with a strong wind.
After that, the world was spinning for a while, and when Zhao Chen saw clearly what was happening in front of him, he was already in Niu Jinda's handsome tent.
Niu Jinda waited for his red eyes to stare at him.
His face barely touched Zhao Chen's face.
Looking at Niu Jinda's ferocious face at such a close distance, Zhao Chen swallowed hard.
"Cow...cow head..."
Zhao Chen swore that this was the most nervous he had ever been.
Niu Jinda's breath had already hit his face.
He looked like he was going to kill Zhao Chen.
"Zhao Chen, did you just say that there is a way to destroy Songzhou City?" Niu Jinda looked at Zhao Chen word by word, clenching his right fist as big as a sandbag.
You can be sure that if you shake your head, the fist will definitely hit you in the face.
"Gudong——"
Zhao Chen swore that no matter what Old Li Tou said in the future, he would never come back to the army again.
Your own life is completely unprotected here.
"Can you step back a little?" Zhao Chen took a few steps back, took a deep breath, and then his expression calmed down.
Niu Jinda took two steps back, his eyes flashing, but he stared at Zhao Chen closely: "Zhao Chen, there is no joke in the army. If you really have a way to break the city, I..."
"I'm naturally not here to joke with Niu Shuai." Zhao Chen said.
This old Niutou is indeed suitable for leading troops in the army. With such a big face, how dare the new recruit be disobedient?
It seems that Niu Jinda finally felt that Zhao Chen was not a member of the army, and he had often heard that Zhao Chen was engaging in tricks with various aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty.
Then I saw Niu Jinda frowning, taking a deep breath, exhaling it for a long time, his eyes fell on Zhao Chen's face, and said: "There is no basis for what you say, you kid, make a military order, and you will sign it later..."
Zhao Chen didn't expect that Lao Niu was so shameless.
I came here with good intentions to give him advice, but this old guy actually wanted to mess with me.
I just came up with an idea,
Is it possible that if something else went wrong during the siege? That would also be on my head?
This scapegoat is quite big, and Zhao Chen doesn't think he can handle it.
And, this is so jarring!
Shaking his head, the palm of his hand was shaking, and then he heard Zhao Chen say: "Haha, the boy was just talking nonsense. Don't take Niu Shuai seriously. It's getting late, so I won't disturb Niu Shuai..."
After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the camp.
Without any hesitation.
Niu Jinda was completely confused by Zhao Chen's irresponsible look.
In his opinion, since Zhao Chen came to tell him about this matter, he should also swear in front of him when he questioned him.
Even if you are just pretending, you still have to put on a show, right?
Why does this guy shrink faster than anyone else when it comes to military orders?
Seeing Zhao Chen patting his butt and leaving without any trace of sloppiness, Niu Jinda gritted his teeth and held Zhao Chen's hand.
It was carried back to Zhao Chen as if it were a little chicken.
"Boy, did I let you go?" Niu Jinda shouted.
Niu Jinda's personal guard outside the handsome tent heard Niu Jinda's roar from inside, but did not hear Zhao Chen's voice.
"Hey, tell me, that boy from Chang'an City won't be scared to death by our general!" said a guard.
"Well, it's not impossible!" Another guard nodded.
In the camp, Zhao Chen rubbed his arms.
He swore that when the guy in front of him got older, he would drag Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu together, go to his house in the middle of the night, and beat him up severely.
Niu Jinda saw Zhao Chen's eyes moving around and knew that this boy might be planning something.
But I can't care about that much at the moment.
If they can't break through the city, they will all be trapped and die here.
"It's in vain that His Majesty attaches so much importance to you, but you are so afraid of death. That's all. There is no need to issue a military order. Tell me your method. How can we defeat Songzhou City?" Niu Jinda took two stools and handed them to each other.
Give it to Zhao Chen and put one under his butt.
Nowadays, a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor.
If there is no way to break the city, they will all die here!
"I can make something that is a hundred times more powerful than the cupping pot you have today, but I need some materials." Zhao Chen sat on the stool and said to the old Niutou opposite.
"A hundred times more powerful than cupping, what is it?" Niu Jinda's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Zhao Chen with some suspicion.
Today's cupping caused great harm to the Tibetan soldiers.
If the Tibetan cavalry hadn't blocked it, leaving the charging troops without follow-up support, maybe Songzhou City would have been captured.
Zhao Chen said something is a hundred times more powerful than cupping. How is this possible?
At least, Niu Jinda has never heard of him.
"Don't worry about it, you will know when the time comes." Zhao Chen waved his hand.
"Hmm? What materials? How much is needed?" Niu Jinda frowned and did not pursue further.
Now he is completely treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor. After all, there is not much time to delay it.
"Well... the main things are charcoal, sulfur, saltpeter, and bamboo pipes. The more of these, the better."
"In addition, you can also collect more rusty iron pieces and sharp stones..."
