"This general in black is stronger than Xiao Bolu. He lost a lot of good guys today. Do you have any tricks to break the city?" Gao Xianzhi's big tent was brightly lit, illuminating the expressions of the people in the tent clearly. Bian Lingcheng looked confused, and he didn't seem to know how the daytime war was different from the past. Duan Xiushi frowned and seemed to be thinking about something. Li Siye was eager to try and wanted to ask for a fight, and he was trying to slap the white cloth on his chest and looked weak.

"Protector, the terrain of Talas City is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. The opponent's general is a man of war. I'm afraid that this battle will be discussed for a long time. If you are eager to achieve success, it may hurt the vitality of the Anxi Protectorate." After thinking for a moment, Cen Shen took the lead and said, attacking the city in the era of cold weapons has always been a very troublesome thing.

"Yes, the big cannibal learned how powerful we were yesterday. I'm afraid we won't go out of the city to fight." Duan Xiushi agreed. If the other party was a turtle and could not hold it tightly, it would not take a day or two to break the city. "Although the enemy was injured thousands yesterday, they were all Shiguo and Kang's servants. The black-clothed big food energy was not damaged, but Ross City was not ready to go."

Except for Bian Lingcheng, they are all people who have been through the battlefield for a long time. They know that if they cannot hold on to the black food, there will be only two ways to break the city. Either they will surround the city of Talas and win without fighting after the food and food of the defenders are cut off, or they will have to try their best to attack the city and use their lives to fill it. As for using strange strategies to break the city, from the response of Houmeide and the defenders in the city today, it seems that they have not left such an opportunity for them.

However, judging from the current situation of Gao Xianzhi's army, neither of these methods is feasible. Long-term siege requires sufficient food and military strength. Their military strength may be barely enough, but from Anxi to Talas City, with the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, it cannot support a long-term expedition of 100,000 people.

The second one is also unacceptable. This battle, the Anxi Protectorate can be said to have all the elite troops. If too many soldiers are damaged under the city of Talas, it will be more than worth the loss even if they can break through the city. What will they do to deal with the reinforcements of the black-clad food? Moreover, the Tubo people are still eyeing each other, so they will definitely not miss this good opportunity to take advantage of the situation to attack.

In other words, the Tang army can only choose to win Talas at a small price in a short period of time, but Hou Meide, who is guarding the city, is not a mediocre general, and it is probably not easy to win easily.

"Protector, why not be led by the general tomorrow, the underworld will attack the city lightly?" Seeing that Duan Xiushi had no answer for a long time after he spoke, Li Siye stood up and said, but most of his subordinates were heavy infantry. If he wanted to attack the city, he would probably have to wear light armor. The losses he suffered in this way would be great.

Li Siye's subordinates were all the essence of Anxi Protectorate, but Gao Xianzhi was reluctant to waste them on the Ant Support Siege, and immediately refused his request, "The attack on the city is not the director of the Modao Team. After the city is broken, you will make a contribution."

"The big food soldiers who were injured on the city today were mostly injured by catapults. Since Li Duwei brought so many craftsmen, it would be better to order these craftsmen to make catapults overnight. If there were dozens of scatterers, Talas City would definitely be able to be put down." Another shogunate judge under Gao Xianzhi, Tian Zhen, suddenly had an idea.

After saying that, Bian Lingcheng was planning to assassinate and scattered. Ah Silanda Khan and others all turned their eyes to Li You, but there was no joy on Gao Xianzhi and Duan Xiushi and others' faces. It seemed that they had considered this issue a long time ago.

"Please forgive me for joining the army, but this matter is not easy." Originally, Li You's official position was not qualified to participate in such high-level military discussions, but considering his outstanding performance a few days ago and the misunderstandings of his origins by everyone, Gao Xianzhi sent someone to call him over and heard Tian Zhen's speech Li You spoke.

There are indeed many famous battle examples of using trenchers to break the city. One of the important reasons why the Jin army captured Bianliang City during the Jingkang Incident is that they made a large number of trenchers. In the Battle of Xiangyang, the Mongols' Hui cannons also caused great damage to the Song army, but the current situation is different. "The big cannibal seems to have thought of the next festival, so he cut down all the huge trees around Talas City. But we can't find the materials to make so many trenchers. Carrying trenchers to make tedious manufacturing, and even if there are materials, it is not easy to make."

There was not much wood around Talas City. First, a batch of them was cut off by the giant cannibals, and the rest were almost consumed today. This was one of the things that must be done when defending the city in ancient times. Those experienced generals would definitely not leave the enemy with the opportunity to obtain materials nearby. It would not be easy to transport them from the rear. Gao Xianzhi, Duan Xiushi and others nodded slightly when they heard this. It was obvious that they had already thought of what Li You said.

"But although the U-Chief cannot create so many catapults, there is another thing that can help Lord Protector with his help." Seeing that everyone was a little depressed when they heard this, Li You suddenly said.

"Oh? What powerful equipment does Li Duwei have? Why not take it out and see it?" Duan Xiushi's eyes lit up and he asked immediately; Li Siye, Cen Shen and others were also excited, but he was the only one who frowned slightly, then immediately changed his expression of joy, focusing on his mind to listen to Li You's method.

Li You's journey from Anxi to Suye City was not just a marching and training, but he remembered that an important reason for the failure of the Battle of Talas was that the Tang army could not capture the city, which gave the black-clothed food and food the opportunity to attack on both sides. If Talas City fell into the hands of the Tang army, they would definitely not have lost so quickly if they had the advantage of the city.

The thousand cavalry under him did not play a big role in the siege battle, but there were also a large number of Tang Dynasty craftsmen in the team he accompanied. It might not work if they were allowed to go to battle to kill the enemy, but it would be extremely convenient to create some siege weapons. What's more, Li You had read the "New Book of Ji Xiao" in the Ming Dynasty before, which recorded some weapons that could be used now. After consideration, he selected some for these craftsmen to develop and used all opportunities to collect materials along the way.

After his careful guidance and the concerted efforts of the craftsmen, he finally made a useful thing before this. He did not disclose it before, but was worried that the plan to be disbanded and the slaughtered was leaked to the black-clothed food in advance, and the other was afraid that Gao Xianzhi would not pay attention to it. But now these two issues are not very important.

It is probably not easy to send news to the city now. But if Gao Xianzhi thinks that he is useful, he will definitely accept it happily.
