In Amdo City, Zhao Yougong did not react violently to the fact that the Tubo people would increase their troops in Damu City, as if he had known that the Tubo people would increase their troops. Hmph, if the Tubo people can increase their troops, can't the Dingguo Army increase their troops? The more soldiers and horses in Damu City, the better, so that it is convenient to complete the battle in one battle, and directly start a decisive battle with most of the soldiers and horses in Tubo near Damu City, so as to avoid trouble later. Urtuke has been looking forward to the Dingguo army attacking Damu City, now there are many generals and plenty of food and grass, are you still afraid that others will attack the city? It's a pity that the Dingguo army didn't move at all, as if they were content to occupy Amdo City.

On this day, the heavy snow stopped, many Tubo soldiers nested in the city to bask in the sun, one by one the Tubo people were lazy, the Han people did not attack the city, there was nothing to do, then look at the scenery after the snow, although I saw more, but at this time in addition to the scenery after the snow, what else to see? Just after the hour, the sun is already high, this is the characteristic of the Tibetan Plateau, the sun always rises earlier than other places, and rises higher. The sun is in a bundle, like a strip of light sprinkled on the snow, and the mountains in the distance are undulating, white and silver, and the scenery is beautiful. Quiet warm sun and snow scene, suddenly a voice broke the silence, a Tibetan soldier screamed, and then stood behind the battlements in a daze, only to see him open his mouth, his eyes were round, his left hand was back, his right hand was raised, his arm was stretched out, and his right hand was still trembling, "Living is a living Buddha, is a living Buddha, you see, the living Buddha has appeared!" ”

There was an exclamation, and many people looked in the direction that the man was pointing, and in the blink of an eye, there was an exclamation on the head of the city, and then many people were heard gasping, and some even put their hands on their chests. A look of disbelief. between the city walls to the east of a few dozen zhang. A monk in a robe sits in the snow. The monk was motionless, his hands were folded, his eyes were slightly closed, and the monk's age could not be seen, only the two white eyebrows could be seen hanging down to his neck. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, this wind was very strange, and it only surrounded the high monk to make a lot of money, but there was no sense of wreak havoc on the city. A puff of black smoke slowly swirled around the monk. It's like a demonic spirit. Gradually, a shadow of black smoke appeared, which looked like a woman, but the woman had no legs and feet, only a long tail.

It's the Snow Witch, it's definitely the Snow Witch, the Tubo people have been passing on the legend of the Snow Witch since childhood, and sometimes when they are disobedient, the older generation will take the Snow Witch to scare people. Legend has it that the Snow Witch has no face, only a black shape. She resembles a humanoid form, but has a tail. She seems to be kind, but she devours a living being. The black figure grew larger and larger, then swelled out and threw itself towards the high monk on the ground.

Hey, the Tubo soldiers at the head of the city are nervous, will the monk be swallowed by the witch? Obviously, the worry was a bit redundant, just when the black shadow was about to touch the body, only to hear a "bah", the body of the monk suddenly burst out of thousands of golden lights, the light was dazzling, and some of the golden light even shot on the top of the city, reflecting the shocked faces of the Tibetan soldiers. The monk has one more thing in his hand, and the mountain looks like a pagoda. Isn't this the Jokhang Temple pagoda used to suppress witches?

The stupa of Jokhang Temple is not built after the establishment of Jokhang Temple, but a legendary weapon of divine weapons, which has been passed down for thousands of years before Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo built Jokhang Temple. According to legend, the pagoda is out, and there are thousands of evil demons in the world, who can have the pagoda, who is the supreme god of the Tibetan country, and everyone must submit to him. In the Han people, there are the jade seals and the family bi, and in Tibet, there are the pagodas of the gods and saints. For many years, in order to find the pagoda, I don't know how many people were dispatched, but today they appeared outside Damu City.

Out of the pagoda, the black shadow gradually disappeared, but what shocked everyone was that when the black shadow snow witch was taken away, the high monk sitting on the ground disappeared, and many Tibetan soldiers shouted, and some people have knelt on the ground and cried, "Living Buddha, you can't go, enlighten your people!" ”

The Tibetan people are really superstitious, superstitious to the point of no return. Urtu was chatting with a few generals, and suddenly his own soldiers recklessly broke in, "Lord Urtu, the living Buddha has appeared outside the field, and the living Buddha has just taken away the snow witch with the pagoda, it is the pagoda Lord Urtu, it is really a pagoda." If you don't believe it, go and see, and all the people in the city will see it. ”

The soldiers were so excited that they couldn't say a few words, but the general meaning was still understood. Stupa? Living buddha? Snow Witch? What the hell, Urtu and those generals naturally don't believe it, the living Buddha manifests, what are you kidding, how many years, I have never heard of the manifestation of the living Buddha in that place. However, Urtu is interested in the pagoda, if it is really a pagoda, then wouldn't it be a good thing to take it and give it to Dolma for praise? Da Zampu is now afraid that others will say that his name is not right, but as long as there is a stupa, who will question him?

Urtu hurriedly came to the city wall, and listened to the soldiers at the head of the city one by one, and he believed half of it, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, why did the pagoda appear so strangely? It can't be a conspiracy of the Han Chinese, right? Just when Urtu hesitated, someone at the head of the city screamed again, this time without anyone else's words, Urtu himself could see it, but he just glanced twice to the east, and immediately froze. Just two or three miles east of Damu City, a golden light suddenly shot out from the Sangri slope, this is really a pagoda? The golden light means that the pagoda is shining the world with the light of the Buddha.

The ruse of the Dingguo Army? It's unlikely, such a golden light is a miracle, no matter how capable the Han people are, can they create this golden light? Without hesitation, Urtu called a few pro-soldiers and asked them to go out of the city to Sangripo to investigate. After the soldiers left, the soldiers from Urtu to ordinary Tubo were waiting anxiously, and about a quarter of an hour later, several soldiers came back on horseback, "Lord Urtu, the golden light is indeed coming from Sangripo, as for the holy relics, we have not been able to search carefully, because because Lord Aduma is also leading people towards Sangripo, I am afraid that something will happen, so I hurried back." ”

Aduma is also here? Urtu couldn't help but be taken aback, if Aduma snatched the holy relics and then praised the little prince first, it would be very bad. The people of Tibet can not recognize the Great Zanpu, but they will not disown the holy relics and pagodas, and they must find a way to grab the holy relics. Urtu was still a little hesitant. Because he was really worried about whether it would be a trick of the Han Chinese. Although this is very unlikely. Urtu hesitated, but the others wouldn't, and several generals volunteered, "Lord Urtu, give the order quickly, the holy relic stupa must not fall into the hands of Aduma, otherwise Da Zampu will be blamed, and I can't afford to wait for anyone." ”

was made a noise by a group of people. Urtu was also a little overwhelmed, and immediately ordered a general to take a few thousand people out of Damu City, and on the slope of Sanri, Urtu's soldiers and horses collided with Aduma's men. Naturally, the two sides have nothing to say, no matter what Aduma says, others will not believe it, from Urtu down to ordinary soldiers, they all regard Aduma as an uninvited guest who came to snatch the holy relics. Aduma was very wronged, and fought with the soldiers and horses of Urtu in a daze, and Sanripo was a small place. It couldn't be used at all, and the two sides fought for a long time. Only then did I remember that the pagoda had not been confiscated. Aduma is not a fool either, although he only led the troops out in circles according to the orders of Prince Zongzan at first, but since he knew the storage of the holy relics, he had to grab them.

The Tibetans are a group of devout believers, and they can even spare their lives for the sake of sacred relics. The sound of Sangripo killing was everywhere, but when a fierce battle was over, the golden light disappeared, and the pagoda naturally could not be found. Urtu's soldiers and horses returned to Damu City in despair, and Aduma also led the people to run away in disgrace. Urtu had his own doubts as to why Aduma had appeared in Sanripo, and shouldn't this bastard go back to Sangye City or Raksha City?

The lack of a holy relic was a very depressing thing for the Tibetan people in the city, and many sighed, only a dozen soldiers gathered around a fire, muttering something.

On the fourteenth day of the lunar month, it was another sunny day, and this day was still guarding the city as usual, but everyone forgot what happened yesterday, and the legends of the past happened little by little in front of them, and they were all so true. Less than fifty, the head of the city was restless again, and the living Buddha appeared again in the snow not far away, and he appeared out of thin air, sitting on the snow, the body of the living Buddha slowly rose into the air, the posture was ethereal and elegant, and at the same time, the surrounding also remembered the curling Sanskrit sound.

I don't know who it is, I knelt directly on the ground, and shouted loudly, "The Living Buddha manifests, the Living Buddha manifests!" ”

I don't know who let go of the city gate, many Tibetan soldiers rushed out in a swarm, they took every step, prostrate on the ground and bowed, this is the most devout believers, they walk their own pilgrimage road. When Urtu learned of the situation outside the city, it was too late to stop it, because many centurions and millurions also joined the pilgrimage.

Urtu almost wants to vomit blood, these stupid people, aren't they afraid that the Han people will come at this time? When the time comes, the pilgrimage road will become the road of death.

Pilgrimage has a strict ritual, and the body must be prostrate on the ground to show respect for the gods. Mo said that now, even in later generations, when the Tibetans worship the Jokhang Temple, they still maintain the original style, they worship devoutly, and every step and every touch of the ground is full of deep longing. Everyone has faith, and no one will joke about the sacred living Buddha, but I just ran into Zhao Yougong, who disregarded the gods the most. Zheng Biao looked at the Tubo disciples who came over dignifiedly, but he was shocked in his heart, His Royal Highness's method really worked?

Of course, so many Tubo people went out of the city to bow down, and the credit of those Infernal Affairs elements was indispensable, if he hadn't led the way and shouted out of the city, the Tubo people would not have let go of the city gate lightly. Urtu had the intention to stop the worshipping soldiers, but a voice kept telling him that he must not come by force, but must find a way, and it is easy to arouse the disgust of the soldiers. Urtu is meditating, but there are more and more Tubo people worshipping outside the city, and what is even more strange is that he clearly looks at the living Buddha dozens of zhang away in front of him, but he keeps worshipping, and the living Buddha is still so far away. Near noon, the scene finally changed, in the west of Damu City, a group of soldiers and horses slowly walked in, this army was dressed in silver armor, holding its breath and condensing, and the momentum was overwhelming. At this time, the living Buddha had an extra mani wheel in his hand, the Sanskrit sound sounded, the Buddha name looked hoarse and solemn in the wilderness, holding the Mani wheel in his right hand, pointing to the west of Damu City, "The devil is coming, the warrior should fight bravely to kill the enemy, and the heaven and earth can be clear!" ”

After the Sanskrit sound, the living Buddha disappeared, only to see a flash of golden light in front of him, a flame burned in front of the living Buddha, the flame disappeared, and the living Buddha was gone. The living Buddha was gone, and the Tubo soldiers who worshipped were immediately chaotic, and they were looking for the living Buddha. The best view is the western skyline with the warm silver torrent coming from Japan. It's Han Chinese. The Han Chinese attacked. Several Tibetans shouted loudly, "The Living Buddha said that the Han people are all demons, and we must kill the demons before the Living Buddha can bring blessings." ”

The influence of the Living Buddha is huge, at least now many Tibetan soldiers are convinced of what the Living Buddha just said, so countless Tibetan soldiers lined up in formation and greeted them. They also shouted at the top of their voices, like saints at war with the devil. When Urtu saw the situation under the city, he stomped his feet angrily, no matter how he shouted, the people under the city just didn't come back, "Idiot, idiot, why do you want to go out of the city?" Quickly, quickly deploy troops to support the outside of the city, and must not let the Han people rush over. ”

Listened to Urtu. Several centurions and millurions snorted rather unhappily, and the living Buddha said it. The Han people are demons, and it is a matter of course for us to exterminate the demons. Originally, the Tibetan generals had a lot of complaints about Urtu's shrinking tactics, but now that they have the words of the Living Buddha, they are even more relied on. Lord Urtu is just too cowardly, there are tens of thousands of cavalry in Damu City, no less than 40,000 foot soldiers, and nearly 60,000 troops need to be afraid of the Han people in Amdo City? If the 60,000 Tibetan warriors are still intimidated in the face of 20,000 Han Chinese, then don't fight in the future, just go home and feed the cattle and sheep. Of course, the commanders did not dare to say these words to Urtu openly, but when the military order was implemented, it was greatly discounted, and because of the slackness of the centurions and commanders, the Tubo army soon collided with the Dingguo army.

Once the two armies clash, it is not what Urtu wants, nearly 10,000 troops and the Dingguo army confront, if you don't fight, you have to fight, at this time, you have to give a hasty order to let the army withdraw, those warriors are not obedient is another matter, even the Dingguo army will not let go of the opportunity to pursue. Urtu secretly scolded and was unlucky, he had been planning for so many days, just waiting for how to consume the Dingguo Army, but those ignorant ones wanted to run out to fight the Dingguo Army. The thoughts of the centurions and the thousands, Urtu also understands a little, doesn't he just want to fight with the Han people to get some credit? Of course, most people don't take the Han people seriously, and now there are obviously many more soldiers and horses in Damu City than the Han people in Amdo City, and there is really reason to be confident that they can defeat the Han people.

Since you want to fight, you must win, if you have a numerical advantage outside the city and can't win, this is tantamount to a heavy blow to the morale of the Tubo warriors, Urtu ordered the transfer of 5,000 cavalry out of Damu City, and at the same time several thousand commanders led 20,000 troops out of the city to participate in the battle, in a short period of time, the Tubo people have gathered 35,000 troops outside Damu City, while the Dingguo army is only a pitiful 15,000 people. In this battle, Wu Jue was in charge of the Chinese army, Yang Zaixing and Liu Jian were separated, and Shi Wengong was the leader. As soon as the contact began, the Dingguo army set up a formation, Wu Jue gave an order, and more than 3,000 people under Shi Wengong's department, who were at the forefront, gradually retreated, and formed an army with the left and right wings, and the shield players were staggered with each other, and the entire large array was divided into more than a dozen circular formations. With the shield hand on the outside and the pikeman in the center, this large circular formation has been practiced countless times, so it is easy to use. One of the advantages of the circular formation is that it is the horns of each other, which can effectively block the cavalry.

The number of battles between the Tubo people and the Dingguo army is still too small, and they obviously don't know the trick of breaking the circular formation, breaking the circular formation, they can't rush in, they can only attack on the periphery, and break the periphery formation one by one. But the Tubo people are not like this, they are still the cavalry to open the way, the foot soldiers are behind to cover the killing, the cavalry charge is very smooth, there is no decent obstruction at all, but when a part of the cavalry rushes up, the original mild large array becomes solemn, more than a dozen circular formations gradually get closer, in a blink of an eye, the Tubo cavalry felt a sense of oppression, they found that they could no longer gallop as before, plus the foot soldiers followed, for a time in the gap of the large array, the cavalry and the foot soldiers mixed together.

As we all know, the cavalry can not be mixed with the foot soldiers, because the foot soldiers often affect the impact of the cavalry, and at this time, the Tubo foot soldiers have become the most fatal stumbling block for the cavalry. The charging formation was chaotic, but the large formation of the national army would not be polite, the spears poked out from time to time, stabbing the war horses at once, and some foot soldiers went to impact the outer shield array, and were also stabbed to death by spears, and they had to guard against the arrows flying from the shadows from time to time, and in a quarter of an hour, the Tubo people, who were still brave and fearless just now, became restless. They wanted to rush out, and the people outside wanted to rush in, just when the cavalry wanted to desperately break the road, thick black smoke ignited in the big array, and it was really too simple to make a large amount of black smoke. Usually there is thick smoke, and I can't feel anything, but at this time, black smoke rises from the big array, and the most severe consequence is that the sight of the Tubo people has been affected, and many people can't tell the direction clearly, let alone rush out of the big array. The cavalry scurried like headless flies, but they could not find a breakthrough, and as time went on, more horses and Tibetan soldiers fell in the great array.

Huh, Urtu stood at the head of the city and looked at the entire battlefield from afar, watching the Tibetan warriors being beaten so wolf, and cold sweat also appeared on his forehead. I always felt that Celeban was too incompetent, but now it seems that this is not the case. The casualties of the Tubo people became more and more serious, but Urtu did not give the next military order for a long time, because he had not yet seen the trick of breaking the formation.

Thick smoke billowed from the entire battlefield, and a miserable howl sounded, Urtu's face became more and more ugly, and finally, he moved, and said urgently with a cold face, "Command Dajik, gather all the cavalry, and attack the southeast corner with all your might!" ”

After a long period of observation, Urtu found that although the shield of the circular array in the southeast corner was heavy, the bows and arrows were very few, and the movement was slow. After receiving the order from Urtu, the cavalry commander Dajik immediately led the cavalry out of the city, circled around the large formation, and came to the southeast. Dajik is a very straightforward person to fight, since Lord Urtu ordered to break the circle formation in the southeast corner, then fight directly, he does not pay attention to any strategy, directly divided more than 4,000 cavalry into 4,000 teams, and took turns to launch a fierce attack on the formation in the southeast corner.

Wu Jue was in the center, always paying attention to the changes in the battlefield, and when he saw the situation in the southeast corner, his originally relaxed expression became solemn. But all the cavalry swept the formation, it was all gradual, and a slight swarm rushed up, this kind of tactics was tantamount to a reckless move. And the Tibetan barbarian did exactly that, leading more than 4,000 cavalry to attack the infantry of more than 1,000 people in turn, this barbarian is a mad dog. It has to be said that Dajik's approach has hit the soft underbelly of the circular array. The circular large array is afraid of this mad dog-like way of playing, regardless of other places, just attack one of the sub-arrays, and break the method one by one, which is the most taboo of the circular large array, and the entire large array is eighteen consecutive rings, and if there is one less, there will be a series of reactions.

Wu Jue wanted to transfer Shi Wengong to sit in the southeast, but it was a little late when he gave the order, and Dajik's mad dog-like style of play quickly hit the southeast position, and the shield hand was rushed open, and many Tubo people rushed up. The entire large array is protected by shields, otherwise where would the foot soldiers be the opponents of the Tubo cavalry? There were cavalry in front, and there were Tubo foot soldiers who had been suppressed for a long time and rushed up to fight with gritted teeth, and the southeast division collapsed in an instant, and none of the more than 1,300 soldiers of the Dingguo Army escaped. More than a thousand people went at once, and Wu Jue's heart was bleeding.

couldn't be entangled like this anymore, Wu Jue immediately pulled out his sword and raised his voice, "The army listens to the order, moves closer to the army, and fights in the phalanx." Shi Wengong led the rear army and withdrew to Sangri Slope! ”

At the sound of the order, the entire large array quickly changed, and before the Tubo people, who had just won a small victory, had no time to rejoice, they saw that the annoying circular array did not rotate, and the shield-bearer slowly unfolded, forming a not too perfect square from the inside out. The three-layer shield is outside, and the spear is propped up, like a hedgehog to push the Tubo warriors outside, but the Tubo warriors in the center of the big array can be attacked, and in a short period of time, the Dingguo army took advantage of the numerical advantage and swallowed the remnants of the Tubo soldiers in the town in one go. (To be continued......)
