Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"Are you sure their number has always been like this and hasn't increased?" Mangchai asked, looking at the chief of the Songbe tribe beside him.

"It's the big leader. That's the number of people in Tang Dynasty. They have been trying to attack these years, but they didn't send many people, about 600 people, but they didn't succeed. Even our arrows consumed a lot." Patriarch Songbu hurriedly said.

"How about their casualties?" Mangchai asked.

"Uh...no deaths...dozens were injured." The Songbu clan leader hesitated for a moment, and then said in embarrassment.

"Huh?" Mangchai frowned, "The other party attacked the city, and was he not injured?" Mangchai looked in disbelief.

"Yes... the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are all wearing full-body iron armor. Our arrows can hardly cause any damage to them. That is to say, the stones thrown from the city wall can cause some damage, but the city wall is not high, and the damage caused by the thrown stones is also limited."

"On the contrary, we have killed more than a dozen people these days, and more than 30 people were injured." Patriarch Songbu paused, and said helplessly.

Mangchai was silent for a while, and he suddenly understood why Datang only sent two or three thousand soldiers. If it was not in such a jungle, if it was in a plain area, these two or three thousand people could chase him and kill 3000 people.

Because the total number of armors he has here does not exceed two hundred, and they are all very dilapidated, and the protective area is not as large as that of Datang.

"Don't worry, we have [-] troops here! [-] versus [-], I want to see how they can get in. As long as they can't get in, they will retreat obediently after a while." Mangchai said with a sneer.

However, while Mangchai was figuring out how to fight the war here, Hou Junji here was also asking Zheng Yuan and the scouts if there was a chance to cut off the enemy's escape route.

"It's impossible to cut them off completely without alarming them, but their large troops have already arrived in Songbe's village. If they cut off the main route for their large troops to retreat, as for the remaining mountain roads, it is almost impossible for a large number of people to escape up the mountain."

"The mountain behind Songbe is not too big. It is very easy for us to cut off the main downhill roads. A large number of people go up the mountain. As long as they cut off the downhill road for a month, they will all die on the mountain." Zheng Yuan shook his head.

He is very clear that such deep mountains and old forests seem to be connected by forests and peaks. It seems difficult to isolate the enemy from escaping, but in fact, there are really not many ways to go down the mountain. Of course, if you risk your life and climb down the cliff, then no one can stop them, let them run, how much can they escape?

It is no problem for such a mountain to support a small village, but eating and drinking is a huge problem for thousands of people going up the mountain.

"Don't worry about alarming them, attack tomorrow, order two thousand forwards to cross directly in front of their cottage, and forcibly cut off this main road."

"If they want to maintain their retreat, it's very simple, come out and fight with us!" Hou Junji sneered and said, fighting on the plains, the soldiers of these tribes, ten times more Hou Junji is not afraid.

"If they don't dare to come out to fight with us, it's much simpler. Cut off their retreat, attack the city directly, and use siege mines. I don't want to dawdle with them. We have stayed here long enough."

"Yes!"

There was nothing to say all night, but both sides thought that the other party would definitely react the next day. In Mangchai's view, Datang could not be captured before, so they should retreat today. After all, they have 1 people coming. As long as Datang is not a fool, they should retreat.

But what Hou Junji was waiting for was today, but the superficial work that should be done was still done. For example, the next day Hou Junji still sent an envoy as usual, which was Zheng Yuan's deputy general Ba Li.

Bali is also from Shanyue, but he is fluent in Chinese and is familiar with Mangbu.

"Is Mangchai, the leader of the Mang tribe, coming?" Barley went directly to the city wall alone and shouted loudly.

Datang's soldiers are still hundreds of meters away, so these people don't have to worry about the threat of Datang.

"I'm Mangchai, why did your Great Tang invade my Mangbu territory?" Mangchai glanced outside, then walked to the sentry tower on the city wall and asked loudly.

"Here is an order from His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty. The Mang tribe wantonly attacked our tribe of the Tang Dynasty, causing the death of five people in the Tang Dynasty. Now I will give you a chance to surrender. You will now lead the entire Mang tribe to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. I will give you a chance to survive. Don't...don't say it was unpredictable!" Barry said loudly.

He almost didn't remember the last sentence, thanks to the fact that he had memorized it for a long time, but even though the words were said, Barley was still muttering in his heart, as these people were illiterate all their lives, they didn't even know what this sentence meant.

"Hahaha, is your head broken? Your King Qin of the Tang Dynasty can't control my mangbu. Go back and tell your general that you can either go back quickly or attack." Mangchai laughed a few times proudly.

Barry also sneered and said loudly: "My general knew that you would not surrender, so my general has something to ask you, if I, the Tang Dynasty, just surrounded your broken village and did not attack, how would you deal with it? Do you have enough food? Matsube's old bottom is enough for you to eat for a few days?"

"Since you refuse to surrender, see you on the battlefield."

After speaking, Barry turned his horse's head and left here.

Mangchai, who was still laughing smugly just now, was taken aback by Barry's words. What should he do if Datang surrounds him without fighting?This... To be honest, Mang guessed that he hadn't thought about it.

Mang guessed that this great leader had never read any books. You expected him to have high military attainments. When their troops arrived, they did bring dry food, which could last for about ten days.

If Datang encircles and does not fight, what will happen in ten days?Matsube may have food storage, but Matsube itself is only a small tribe of more than 3000 people. How long can the stored food be enough for 1 people?

But Datang, as a besieged city, can get supplements anytime and anywhere. At that time, they can only go out of the city to fight against Datang.

This... He became worried in an instant.

But think about the fact that Datang's army is only two or three thousand...

"Woo..." Before the thoughts in Mangchai's mind fell, there was a clear sound of the horn in the distance. As the sound of the horn sounded throughout the valley, in the jungle in the distance, at least [-] fully armed elite soldiers were running quickly towards the direction they came from within their line of sight, close to the edge of the jungle at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the direction these soldiers are heading, you don't need to think about it, the other party is going to cut off their way back!
