In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.

Hearing the commotion, Li Yuanchang came out, unlike the other party who was cautious and even afraid.

He rode his horse to the front and shouted, "Brother Dayan, after fighting for months, it's truly not easy to finally see you!"

His attitude left the Tibetan military completely dumbfounded.

"Li Yuanchang, what kind of scheme are you plotting now!"

As Dayan roared, a large number of archers behind him nocked their arrows, the whistling sound clearly audible, startling away a large flock of birds.

The guards instinctively gripped their shields tighter.

But Li Yuanchang made no move. This was not arrogance, but rather a precise control of the distance. At this distance, it would be difficult for an arrow to cause damage, and shooting would also take time, giving him enough time to react.

"Brother Dayan, why are you so agitated?"

"I have not come here for war. Why don't we sit down and have a proper talk?"

Dayan laughed in fury, his eyes fixed on Li Yuanchang as if he wanted to devour him alive.

"Li Yuanchang, I know what you're planning!"

"Don't waste your energy!"

"Our Tibetan army is irreconcilably opposed to yours!"

"The battle of Gudu Pasture will be repaid to you sooner or later by our Tibetan warriors. When the iron hooves of Tibet cross the Tuyuhun Pass, that will be the day your Great Tang is drenched in blood!"

His words caused a dark look to appear on the faces of many soldiers in the Far East Army, who finally spoke the truth.

The Tuyuhun buffer zone was merely a test; Tibet's true objective was always the Central Plains.

"Is that so?"

Li Yuanchang shouted, full of vigor: "Your unit is surrounded by our army on the Gongwang Plateau. You can't go down, you can't retreat, and you can't fight back. How are you going to get out?"

Dayan Mangbuzhi's eyes turned cold, and his rough fingers gripped the edge of the rock, showing some humiliation and resentment.

But what Li Yuanchang said was true. Several crushing defeats and bombings by Han Lei had instilled fear in his entire army.

"I have a gift for you, take a good look!"

"Got it!"

As he spoke, Li Yuanchang drew his bow and shot an arrow.

The Tibetans, seeing snakes in their eyes, nearly fled en masse, fearing it might be Han Lei.

boom!

The arrow landed steadily three meters in front of Dayan Mangbuzhi. His men rushed out to retrieve it, but when they saw the secret message that had been shot with an arrow, their faces instantly turned to shock and panic.

"Heh, see? Those men you sent out for help were intercepted by our army and slaughtered beyond recognition. No one can come to your aid, and no one will even know you're trapped on the Gongwang Plateau!"

The Tibetan military was in an uproar and plunged into despair.

Li Yuanchang added, "I'm not afraid to tell you, even if you send out your plea for help, no one will pay any attention to you."

"Gardonzan is ambitious and doesn't trust your family. He wants to exhaust you all on this battlefield."

"Only after you are all dead can his personal guards come and clean up the mess."

"Shut up!" Dayan roared, fearing that the morale of the army would be shaken.

Li Yuanchang ignored him and continued, "You've reached a dead end!"

"Running back means death, staying means a helpless death. Didn't you tell your men?"

The enormous sound echoed, and could be heard not only across the entire plateau, but at least by the Tibetan soldiers in the front ranks facing each other.

Their eyes were uneasy, restless, and they were even talking amongst themselves.

"Release the arrows!!"

In a moment of desperation, Dayan Mangbuzhi angrily gave the order.

With only a moment's hesitation, the Tibetans unleashed a torrential downpour of arrows upon the Far Eastern army.

bang bang bang...

Countless shields were raised instantly, deflecting the enemy's rain of arrows at a 45-degree angle, and no one was injured.

After several volleys of arrows, the Far Eastern army showed no intention of charging, which resulted in their arrows being completely wasted, and the attack stopped after only a short while.

At this point, Li Yuanchang continued to shout: "Garden Tsen will not care about you anymore. Surrendering to me is your only way out."

"I promise that those who surrender will not be killed, and prisoners will be treated well!"

Dayan Mangbu was furious!

The defense line cannot be abandoned, but an offensive is also not an option. The army has no choice but to stand here and accept Li Yuanchang's psychological warfare tactics.

Enraged, he ordered his troops to retaliate by pushing down a large number of stones to stop Li Yuanchang from shouting.

The stones kept crashing down, forcing the Far East Army to dodge and even causing some minor injuries, but the effect was extremely limited.

The Far East Army simply refused to attack, meaning they wouldn't retreat. When the Tibetans above started their attack, they would hide. As soon as they stopped, Li Yuanchang would immediately lead his men out to shout.

The disgusting shouts from the front lines kept Dayan Mangbuzhi busy dealing with them, and seeing that he couldn't stop them, he could only mobilize his troops.

"He's lying!"

"The Han people are treacherous; they are trying to demoralize our army!"

"All soldiers, ignore his nonsense! Hold this position, and the Tang army won't be able to get up here!"

"Nonsense! You, Dayan Mangbuzhi, are the one lying. If I'm lying, then why are the Tibetan reinforcements so late? Why did you withdraw the Gar family's personal guards?"

"How can you possibly fathom the Grand Chancellor's military strategies?"

"You, Grand Chancellor, have all betrayed you. You are nothing but sacrifices used to hold back our army."

Dayan Mangbuzhi roared, "Li Yuanchang, shut your mouth!"

"You coward, do you dare to attack?"

"Why should I attack? We are all soldiers, and the Tibetan brothers above us also have lives. If we kill each other here, wouldn't that just benefit Galdontsen?"

Dayan Mangbu was so angry he almost vomited blood on the spot; he had never seen such a shameless person.

However, for the besieged and passive side, such words would be a huge blow to morale. As the commander-in-chief, he knew very well what Li Yuanchang was up to.

"Release the arrows!!"

He was once again forced to order a long-range strike.

"Crouch down!" Li Yuanchang ordered, quickly taking cover, a smile playing on his lips.

In any case, Dayan had fallen into the trap.

If left unattended, morale will waver.

To control it, you have to strike from a distance.

But arrows and rolling stones are not inexhaustible resources; the more they are consumed, the weaker the defense becomes.

For the Far Eastern Army, it was a win-win situation no matter what. After all, being outnumbered and outgunned was a disadvantage even in a modern video game.

"..."

This farce lasted for a full five days!

Every day, Li Yuanchang would come to shout and challenge them on time. All sorts of true and false information were transmitted to the Tibetans above, causing them to panic.

As a result, the Tibetans consumed a huge amount of bows and arrows, but they gained nothing in return except for Li Yuanchang's saliva.

In just five days, he managed to swindle over 100,000 arrows and stones with his words, an efficiency comparable to Zhuge Liang's borrowing arrows with straw boats.

On the sixth day, Dayan Mangbuzhi, who was besieged and in Li Yuanchang's clutches, finally could not bear the humiliation and exhaustion any longer!

On the sixth night, when the plateau was pitch black, it dispatched an army of three thousand men to launch a surprise attack on the Far East Army's garrison.
