The Battle of Stone Castle and the Battle of Henglus have all had profound significance and influence in later generations.

These two wars were both strategic offensives of the Tang Dynasty, and the corresponding targets were Tubo and Black-clothed Dashi.

The former Tang army won the victory and gained a strategic advantage over Tubo.

Because of the excessive losses and the difficulty in enduring altitude sickness, Tubo has a chance to breathe.

Although the latter Tang army was defeated, it did not cause a devastating blow to the Western Regions Protectorate.

The main force still exists, and Gao Xianzhi is not punished.

According to the tradition of the Tang Dynasty, after recuperation for a period of time, they will inevitably attack again.

Everyone knows what happened in history. Because of An Lushan's rebellion, the Tang Dynasty went from prosperity to decline.

Whether it was the Tang army corresponding to Tubo or the elite troops from the Western Regions Protectorate, they were transferred to the Central Plains and consumed in the battle corresponding to An Lushan.

The result was that the Tang Dynasty completely lost its ability to attack strategically.

Before the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty never gave up its pioneering and enterprising efforts in the four fields.

Now that Wang Xiao is here, he will never let these regrets happen again.

In order to accelerate the progress of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xiao even came to help himself.

Just like the Battle of Stone Fort at this time, Wang Xiao could not have watched tens of thousands of elite Tang soldiers die tragically on this battlefield with extreme geographical advantages.

So he came here in person to do it himself and break the stone fort city that is known as one man as a pass and ten thousand men.

The location of Shibao City is very dangerous, located at the throat of the most important pass in the mountains.

Through here, there is a vast plateau.

For the Tubo on the mountain and the Tang Dynasty at the foot of the mountain, whoever can control the place will be able to take the initiative in the strategic offensive.

When the elite army of the Tang Dynasty began to gather towards the stone fort, all Tubo nobles were suffering from illness. They endured the pain and summoned their troops and gathered around the stone fort city to resist.

Shibao City is actually just a pass located in a key location, and its area itself is not large.

It is estimated that even thousands of soldiers can't be placed inside, so the real main forces of the legions on both sides are fighting on the periphery.

The Tubo people were very interested and wanted to surround the Tang army's retreat and eliminate these elite Tang army under the Shibao City.

On the third day after Wang Xiao arrived, a fierce war broke out between the two sides at the junction of the plateau and the plain.

The Tubo people were many, several times more powerful than the Tang army.

But the Tang army was well-trained and well-equipped. Moreover, their morale was very high, so when the two sides fought, the Tang army, which had few people, had the advantage.

Wang Xiao observed the fierce battlefield that made people's bloody veins for a few days, and then turned his gaze back to Shibao City.

This is the node of the entire battlefield.

As long as the Tang army can break through here, they can advance straight and in turn cut off the retreat of the Tubo army.

Although the Tubo people are large in number, the more they have, the more they have, they have more demands for food, grass, salt, weapons, armor, tents, livestock, etc.

If the supply line is cut off, the outcome will only be a miserable word.

Wang Xiao, who was in mid-air, carefully observed the Stone Castle City, and finally he admitted that it was indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack in the true sense.

There is only a real path leading to Shibao City. No matter how many troops the attacking party has, it cannot be expanded.

The defender can rely on the strong stone city to give the attacking party huge damage.

The Tang army did try various means, and even even threw cars that had outstanding performance when fighting Goguryeo tried to transport them.

But the road is so bad that I can't do it.

"If you use a meteorite, you will destroy the road."

At the beginning, Wang Xiao considered using the great summoning technique to cause meteorites to fall from the sky.

However, in this environment, the meteorites fell into the stone castle city, which could indeed destroy the pass. But the result was that it was truly destroyed, and the Tang army could not use it.

It takes at least three or five years to repair this place that was hit hard by a meteorite.

Wang Xiao stroked his chin and said, "Do you want me to get out of here and just start the Wushuang mow the grass?"

Looking at the Tang Army camp below, Ge Shuhan randomly fooled and held a prayer ceremony of three different things, Wang Xiao was also happy.

Geshuhan naturally didn't believe that he could win by praying for the help of heaven. If this was the case, then there would be no meaning for these generals to exist.

Just let those great dancers lead the war.

But since the emperor said this, he had to ignore it. So he just casually held a ceremony, purely to fool the emperor.

"General, what are you doing?"

The generals under Geshuhan looked at the scene where the gods were stomping in front of him and expressed that they did not understand what the general meant.

"Don't worry, just watch it." Ge Shuhan couldn't say anything. This was something he did to fool the emperor.

Looking at the wizards who danced the gods, after jumping on the altar, Ge Shuhan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's over. If I put this in the battle report and mentioned a few words, I can still make a contribution."

Just as Geshuhan was about to ask someone to take it away and demolish the altar.

In the originally sunny sky, a sudden storm of wind and clouds surging, and large clouds of dark clouds gathered from all directions from afar.

Under the amazing eyes of Geshuhan and others, a large cloud gathered above the altar, and then the strong wind suddenly roared with thunder.

A silver snake-like lightning fell from the sky, falling over the altar and blew up a shocking light.

A powerful voice came from the sky, "As I wished~"

As the sound gradually dissipated, the strange phenomena in the sky gradually disappeared. Not long after, we returned to the previous sunny scenery.

Geshuhan'Σ(�°Д°;)っ'

‘Is there something wrong with my ear? Why does this sound sound so similar to His Majesty’s voice? Is there really a god in this world?’

Not only Ge Shuhan was stunned, but also Tang Jun around him was stunned, and the leaping gods even knelt on the ground and shivered.

No one expected that such a thing would happen.

Everything before seemed to be illusions, after all, they came and went quickly.

But everyone knows that this is not an illusion, it is true!

"Who."

Ge Shuhan, who has been in the battlefield and can remain calm in the sea of ​​corpses and blood, now speaks with a tremolo, "What are we asking for to worship the sky?"

Several of the great dancers also responded tremblingly, "Pray for the help of heaven and break through the stone castle city."

"Huh~"

Finally, Ge Shuhan, who had recovered from his energy, breathed heavily.

He took two steps at once, jumped directly to the altar and shouted at the Tang soldiers around him.

"Listen to everyone, we will be protected by heaven in this battle, and we will win this battle!!!"

The Tang army soldiers, who were still a little confused before, soon became quiet.

Then I don’t know who started and shouted, “Heavenly blesses the Tang Dynasty~”

Then there was the cheers like tsunami, "Heaven bless the Tang Dynasty~"

Wang Xiao in the air was satisfied with this. At least at this time, the morale of the Tang army had reached its peak.

"Where is the Pioneer Officer?!"

With Ge Shuhan's roar, the Tang Army's vanguard deputy general Gao Xiuyan and Zhang Shouyu came to Ge Shuhan in unison to salute, "The last general is here!"

"I ordered you and the other two to lead your army to attack Shibao City and defeat the city! Otherwise, don't blame the ruthless military law!"

"The last general will receive the order!"

The Tang army was fully mobilized and rushed straight to Shibao City along the rugged mountain road.

Gao Xiuyan and Zhang Shouyu knew very well that if they could not capture Shibao City, Geshuhan would really be able to deal with it by military law.

So they really made up their minds to either break the city or die in battle.

Death here in battle is better than being dealt with by military law.

On the wall of Shibao City, many Tubo defenders prepared a large number of rolling stones, and looked nervously at the Tang army soldiers who were making final preparations not far away from the city.

Only in front of the city wall can there be a small open space here.

After eating and drinking, thousands of elite Tang soldiers selected, they put on thick armor with the help of auxiliary soldiers, held a thick sword with cold light, arranged dense formations, and walked towards the city wall in a mighty manner.

The Modao Team of the Tang Dynasty is well-known. They are well-equipped and well-trained, and each of them is carefully selected strong men in the army.

I used the Modao team as soon as I came up, and it was obvious that this was with the determination to fight to the death.

After all, although there are not many defenders in Shibao City, there are a large number of reinforcements behind the city, and you can enter the city to reinforce at any time.

If you use the oil-adding tactic, you can only wait for the Tang army's corpses to pile up the city walls.

The crossbowman stepped forward and began to suppress the shooting.

Many auxiliary soldiers followed behind with ladders for climbing the city, and after giving orders, they rushed out to build the ladder.
