I'd like to wire a motor shield to my arduino using the minimum wires to drive motor A and B

I have found these pins drive the 2 motor channels:

ChannelA_MotorPin = 12;

ChannelA_SpeedPin = 10;

ChannelB_MotorPin = 13;

ChannelB_SpeedPin = 11;

​

Does anyone know which pins I'd have to wire across to power the shield please? My box does not have space to sit the shield on the arduino.

My motor shield is the Fundu L298P (http://www.mantech.co.za/Datasheets/Products/EX029.pdf)

​

All help is much appreciated!
