Chapter 342 (2/2)

After returning to the camp, Li Guangsi counted a list of casualties for Wei Ran to see. He has more than 6000 troops. During this period of high-frequency fighting, he has lost more than 1000 troops and horses.

Wei Ran strictly implemented the field medical system. Many wounded soldiers have a great chance of returning to the army for combat. Even so, the war damage rate is so high, not to mention other armies.

”Brother, there are almost no recruits and veterans in Fenglin army. Even so, with the logistical guarantee of all parties, the war damage is still so huge. If the war goes on like this, the morale of the army will be exhausted. ”

Li Guangsi also paid a lot of effort to Fenglin army. He was very worried when he saw that the war fell into the quagmire.

Wei Ran gently knocked on the table and pondered for a long time, ”the morale of the Fenglin army can be boosted. The soldiers have a guarantee for their future. This hard battle can continue. It's just that many of the Liangzhou subordinates in manager Zhao have begun to complain. Most of them are local giants in Liangzhou. What they lose is their own strength, which is extremely painful. ”

”So, will Jiedu envoy Zhao Hun withdraw?”

Wei Yan shook his head. ”Manager Zhao is a determined person. He will not be so easily affected by other people's emotions. He must have his own decision. I think he has transferred troops for rotation these days. Obviously, his idea is to try his best to give all the troops enough rest time.

He wants to hold on for a while. Unless the logistics can not keep up, or the gentry and rich men in Shanzhou, kuozhou, Hezhou and Lanzhou can not see the hope of victory and no longer support him to continue fighting, the local tyrants in Liangzhou will not affect his decision. ”

”The key now is how to break the fortress cluster of the Tubo army. But the camp they arranged was very solid, and they knew the trend of our army. They had no choice but to attack. However, strong attacks are often ineffective, and they often besiege our army's fort in turn. It's really difficult. ”

Wei Ran went out of the camp and looked up to the east of Chiling mountain. There was a high cliff on which there was a small and not high stone castle. It is the eye of the Tubo army - Shibao city.

Wu Wei's army has passed the hot-air balloon. Wu Xinfei saw it personally. There are only 400 defenders in Shibao City, which is very crowded. But the terrain is dangerous, and there are Tibetan army camps below.

For a frontal attack, you need to break through the Tibetan camp under the cliff first, and then go up the path. After going up, you will find that there are steep cliffs on both sides of the path, and Shibao city faces three cliffs.

Only by using the tactics of adding oil and exhausting the defenders' physical strength, bows, arrows and stones in the stone castle can it be occupied. On this way, we should also guard against the support and counter attack of the Tibetan army under the cliff.

Ge Shuhan was the stone castle city that he laid down after tens of thousands of elite veterans died, and then drove the Tubo army back to the plateau.

”If you don't take the Shibao city and turn the Tubo army blind, you can't beat them back to the plateau!” Wei Ran said solemnly.

Li Guangsi looked at Shibao city in a daze. Obviously, he thought of the tragic attack and defense here in history.

”The world is different...”

Wei Ran suddenly whispered such an inexplicable remark, then turned to Li Guangsi and said, ”Erlang, please help me watch the camp and report to General Zhao. I'll see if there are any paths leading to Shibao city. ”

Li Guangsi said angrily, ”brother, you're throwing me the trouble again. Every time I ask for leave for you and that girl, I have to be scolded by her! Moreover, there is only one road to Shibao city. If there were other paths, the Jiedu envoys of the four towns would not have preferred to resist demotion rather than attack Shibao city. ”

Wei Ran smiled, but he didn't explain too much to Li Guangsi. He rode outside the camp.

What he was looking for was not a path up the mountain, but a higher cliff near Shibao city. There should be a certain area at the top of the cliff, which can accommodate at least two or three hundred people.

If the stone castle city is attacked by conventional methods, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Even if the Wulin experts sent by the Wuwei army to attack the city are all Wulin experts, are there ordinary military men with shallow martial arts in the stone castle city?

Yundan knot is not stupid. The strategic significance of Shibao city is so important that he can't help sending martial arts experts to guard it. The man who is the soul grabbing node perceived by Eli is in the Tubo army, so the Tubo army must have experts.
