The Tang Emperor, Li Shimin, had agreed to the two countries 'military exercise and even agreed to the siege. This was within Lu Dongzan's expectations.
The only thing the two countries lacked was a place to perform their martial arts.
Before Lu Dongzan entered Chang 'an, he had already sent people to scout the surroundings and adjust the location.
The western suburbs of Chang 'an!
The next day.
When Li Shimin heard that Lu Dongzan had chosen a place to defend the city, he led the civil and military officials to move to the western suburbs.
Arriving at the western suburbs of Chang 'an, they entered the mountains and began to climb.
This terrain was very beneficial to Tubo.
The group climbed one mountain after another and finally reached the top. They instantly saw a camp.
The camp was built with the back of the mountain, and the remaining three sides were city walls.
Many Tibetans were reinforcing the city walls around the camp.
The city walls of this camp were six meters tall. There were also battle towers and watchtowers built on the city walls. There was also a deep trench outside the city, and there were also defensive facilities such as horse barricades and horse traps.
This was no ordinary camp. It was a small city, a military fortress.
" How is this possible? It's only been a day. How could such a strong camp appear out of nowhere?"
Li Chengqian was very surprised and panicked in his heart.
Sure enough, he could overlook Chang 'an City from here and see everything outside Chang' an City.
However, this place was located on a high mountain, hundreds of meters above sea level. The mountain road was rugged and bumpy, and the siege vehicles could not transport it up at all.
Unless the number of people attacking the city was many times that of the defenders.
The pen was a pencil and the paper was white paper. They were all made by Yap Liangchen in the past two days. Li Ruobing liked this kind of pencil that did not need to be dipped in ink and was easy to carry around.
In addition, her drawing was also taught by Yap Liangchen.
Drawing the terrain was naturally one of the special training, and Li Ruobing was naturally very serious about learning from him.
Only by scouting the enemy's situation could one analyze their weaknesses.
......
Lu Dongzan walked over from a distance and looked at Li Shiming with a smile.
"No, no, Tubo has always won more than they lost in the past because the two countries often fight head-on during the martial arts competition. This is naturally not the advantage of Tubo.”
"Now that the Tibetans can defend the city camp and the Great Tang is attacking, this is truly a show of force.”
When Lu Dongzan said this, he was a little proud.
The Tang soldiers were very elite, but if they attacked the Tubo, they would definitely return in defeat.
Tubo was located on the plateau and also occupied a natural barrier.
If the two countries were to go to war, who would give up their advantage to fight with others?
"There's no need. Each of the two countries will send five hundred men. Three days later, the Great Tang's dragon flag will be hung above the city.”Li Shi Min said indifferently, his aura domineering.
"Alright, the battlefield is within a radius of ten miles. The martial arts practice will officially begin at midnight tonight.”
Even though Lu Dongzan was his enemy, he couldn't help but admire his dominance.
"Du He, I order you to take five hundred imperial guards and gather all the weapons from the Ministry of Works. Take down this city camp for me within three days.”Li Shi Min turned to Du He and said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The ministers also followed him and left. They all felt that Du He was on her own.
"This city is six meters tall. If we can't reach the top of the city wall in one go, we will definitely fail.”
"I am willing to be your vanguard and lead the soldiers to attack the city.”
Du He thought about it and still didn't want to rely on her bravery to attack this city. She refused,
"General Li, there's no need."
"His Majesty ordered this general to lead troops to attack the city. He must also want to test this general's formation.”
......
Tonight at midnight.
The mountain was silent, and the moon hung high in the sky.
The leaves of the trees rustled.
Du He led 500 soldiers from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.
They brought twenty scaling ladders, three siege chariots, and two trebuchets. They were prepared to reach the mountainside first, rest for half a day, and then go up to the mountaintop to attack the city.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot from the other side of the forest and struck the Imperial Army soldier's chest. With a puchi sound, a small stream of blood flowed out.
"Damn it!"
He didn't expect the Tubo to be so cunning and send out a vanguard to launch a sneak attack.
In this martial arts practice, the arrows, swords, and sabers used were not sharpened, so the fatality rate was greatly reduced. Therefore, he only suffered minor injuries, but according to the rules, he was already eliminated.
"Enemy attack!"
Du He roared loudly, shaking the surroundings. She pulled out the longbow on her back, took out arrows from her quiver, and pulled the bow to shoot into the distance.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Before the two sides even got close, they started shooting at each other with their bows.
The Imperial Army did not expect the enemy to be so arrogant, causing them to lose the initiative and be caught off guard.
However, they quickly organized themselves and prepared to fight back.
There were five hundred soldiers of the Great Tang Imperial Army at the foot of the mountain, and the enemy had at most a hundred men to ambush them.
The enemy's arrows were unusually fierce, not inferior to the Tang army. There were definitely more than 100 of them.
"Bastard!"
Du He's eyes were filled with anger. She instantly understood that Lu Dongzan did not guard the city camp on the top of the mountain at all.
The 500 Tibetan soldiers in the city camp had already moved out and came down the mountain to attack the Tang army.
He was too careless!
The Imperial Army brothers were suppressed by the rain of arrows and forced to defend. The siege chariots and ladders were also burned by the enemy.
Du He held back her anger. It was very uncomfortable.
Some of the heavily injured Imperial Army soldiers were sent down the mountain for treatment.
Attacking a city was already difficult, and now they had fewer people than the other party.
It was over.
