Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 209 Defensive Defense and Sneak Attack

The huge camp in the south of the city, the neat 30 Tubo defenders, the king's flag waving in the wind, and countless large tents of the Chinese army...

Li Ke exhausted all his strength, spitting out his words, and scolded all the sarcasm in his belly, but still couldn't get the other party to respond.

The Tubo king's flag was still fluttering in the wind, and all the Tubo soldiers looked serious.

But no one looked his way.

Li Ke was tired of scolding, he had no choice but to sigh with a wry smile, it seems that Songtsan Gampo is bound to practice the tortoise technique to the end.

This guy also sent people to attack and set fire to the camp of the Shu army yesterday, but today he can't get out of the camp.

Obviously he didn't want to face the Shu army head-on.

"Your Highness, what should we do?"

The cavalry generals were all dumbfounded. They had vowed to fight hard, but they encountered such a situation.

"How about... let's retreat first?"

Some people have already started to back off. After all, this place is too close to the enemy camp. If they stay for a long time, they are afraid that the enemy will outflank them from behind.

"Withdraw what?"

But Li Ke threw his halberd on the ground and said angrily, "You scold me too! Since Songtsan Gampo refuses to come out of the camp, let's take this opportunity to scold him!"

After finishing speaking, Li Ke was the first to start cursing. He rolled up his helmet and cursed forward:

"Songtsan Gampo, you shy turtle, come out if you have the ability, and have a good fight with this king!"

"Songtsan Gampo, this king occupies your land and kills your general, how can you bear this?"

He scolded neatly, but the cavalry general at the side was stunned. How could His Highness turn into a child bickering about such a matter of life and death.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you get angry with me?"

It's not enough to scold alone, Li Ke turned around again, and urged all the generals to scold together.

Everyone was helpless, so they also scolded.

The [-] cavalry began to scold and shout, this scene is quite spectacular.

Someone got tired of scolding, so he held his throat and said, "Your Highness, why don't we just rush in?"

"What are you rushing for? Didn't you see the horse-rejecting trench ahead?"

Li Ke waved his hands again and again, pointing to the fortifications ahead.

In front of the Tubo camp, a trench as deep as a man was dug, and then it was filled with horses, but a road was left at the front entrance of the camp for our own people to enter and exit.

With such a defensive formation, if you rush to the camp rashly, you can only court death.

Li Ke was tired of scolding, so he simply leaned on the horse and watched the generals scolding, and the scolding lasted for an hour or two.

In the large Tubo tent, all the generals sat around Songtsan Gampo, all of them looked gloomy.

"Zanpu, we have so many soldiers, why are we afraid of his little Li Ke? Let's rush out and fight him!"

"Yes! Our army has the right time and place, and its combat power is far superior to his. Why do we need to avoid war?"

The generals were talking all over the place, and they wanted to ask for a battle to leave the camp, defeating the Shu army.

Songtsan Gambo sat on the big couch, watching the generals bustling around with cold eyes.

After all the generals had finished speaking, he sat up straight.

Looking around, Songtsan Gampo said softly, "Na Ye Tuo, Ti Na Muzhen, and even Lun Ke Ri, which one is not an experienced general? Do you think you are better than these people?"

The venue was silent for a while, and everyone lowered their heads one after another, no longer looking at Songtsan Gampo.

Songtsan Gampo said again: "Which of these people... has no more troops than Li Ke? Which one doesn't occupy the right time and place?"

"The result? Haven't they all been wiped out by Li Ke?"

These words were so loud that the generals in Tubo were speechless. They just looked down at the ground and did not dare to enter the battle again.

After a pause, Songtsan Gampo's attitude softened slightly: "Li Ke is indeed a rare capable man in the world. Our army can easily fight, and we will only find opportunities for him..."

A general raised his head, hesitatingly said: "Then...then you can't stick around like this all the time, can you?"

Songtsan Gampo chuckled twice: "Now... Li Ke is in a hurry to fight, so why should we be in a hurry?"

"Yes! As long as our army sticks around until the reinforcements arrive, can the 70 troops join forces and defeat Li Ke's [-] people?"

Already the general echoed the opening.

At this time, the faces of the generals eased a little. Indeed, if Li Ke could not attack for a long time, he would definitely face the encirclement of the Tubo army.

At that time, the Tubo people will be able to feel proud.

"But……"

Another general raised doubts: "If the opponent comes to call for battle every day, if things go on like this... I'm afraid the morale of the army will not be stable!"

Li Ke shouted and cursed in front of the battle, of course it was not incompetent and furious, but his intention was to disturb the morale of the Tubo army and prepare for the future attack on the camp.

Generals with a little experience can naturally see such intentions.

But how do you solve such a conspiracy?
Songtsen Gampo refused to fight, so he could only swallow his anger.

May I ask who is scolded every day, how can he be in a better mood?

Even if you go to the army to explain clearly and make your own advantages known to the public, I'm afraid it will be difficult to calm down the army.

At this time, Songtsan Gampo stood up, walked to the door of the big tent, looked up at the Shu army who were shouting.

He sneered, and said: "Of course we can fight, but our army will never fight an unsure battle... If Li Ke takes the initiative to ask for a fight, then we will not be able to hold on, and we must not fall into the trap set by him... ..."

With a raised eyebrow, Songtsan Gampo continued: "But our army took the initiative to attack and harass and attack with a small force. This is a feasible plan!"

"Oh?"

The generals pondered again, and carefully comprehended Songtsan Gampo's strategy.

Li Ke is cunning and treacherous in his use of troops, if he follows his footsteps, he will definitely be led into the ditch by him.

But if he took the initiative to launch a sneak attack, it would be difficult for Li Ke to guard against it.

He can defend ten times, but if he succeeds once, he can cause a great setback to the Shu army.

Anyway, if you have a large number of people and a small group attacks, even if you fail, you will not lose too much power.

As long as his arrogance can be restrained and the morale of the Tubo army will not be greatly reduced, this strategy of defending will be effective.

If the sneak attack results are remarkable and the Shu army is defeated, that would be even more unexpected.

Songtsan Gampo gathered all the generals together, sat around, and explained the way of sticking to the big plan and sneak attack, and then everyone made suggestions and supplemented them.

All of a sudden, bursts of shrill howls and laughter came from the large tent of the Tubo Central Army.

Outside the big camp, the Shu army was still shouting. This scolding has been going on for a whole day, and the sky is about to get dark.

All the soldiers shouted with smoke, but still got nothing.

Seeing that there was still no effect, Li Ke finally gave up.

Putting Fang Tian's painted halberd on his shoulder, Li Ke turned his horse's head: "Let's go back first! Tomorrow, another group of people will come to scold the battle!"

All the generals had dry mouths and throats, and there was smoke in their throats. At this time, they were ordered to retreat, and as if they had received an amnesty, they hurriedly withdrew back.

Back in the camp, Ma Liuzhi came over with a dazed expression on his face.

"Your Highness, didn't you tell us to lie in ambush? It's been a day and there's been no movement at all?"

Li Ke took off his armor and sighed helplessly: "I have met a thousand-year-old bastard, and I have nothing to do..."
