The Fifth Army was stationed in the city of Gongbu Tenju Wangpo himself, and his close confidant Solang Tsering served as the commander of the guard.

Dan Zhen Wangpo's Tibetan army had won successive battles in the battle of Uszang, and had already controlled almost the entire Uszang, and the fifth army of Solang Tsering was the elite of the Zangba army, so he naturally did not take the Ming army outside the city seriously.

Hearing the news that the Ming army was stationed outside the eastern city, Solang Tsering estimated that the Ming army would be difficult to adapt to the plateau climate of Uszang, and it was a labor expedition, and now it must be extremely tired.

An army without a body is incapable of fighting power.

With the once powerful Tang Dynasty, it was difficult to shake the small Tibetan, because the Han people were difficult to adapt to the plateau climate and terrain.

Solang Tsering decided to give the Ming army a head-on attack, he temporarily armed 3,000 Tibetans, asked them to guard the city gates, and led the elite Fifth Army out of the city to retreat from the enemy.

Hearing the message sent back by the rangers, Liu Zhenyu was very puzzled: If the defenders of Gongbu City refuse to defend the city, the 55th Division will not be able to break the city without artillery now, and if they want to escape, with the Tibetans' familiarity with the local terrain, they will definitely not be able to catch up, is it possible that the defenders in the city still expect to repel a large number of Ming troops?

Liu Zhenyu divided 3,000 infantry, facing west, 3,000 cavalry guarded the two flanks of the infantry, ready to protect the infantry at any time, if the infantry won, they were responsible for cutting off the retreat of the Tibetan army, he himself led the rest of the thousands of soldiers, and watched the Tibetan army from a distance on the high ground behind the camp.

The 3,000 infantry were divided into three rows according to the flintlock tactics, and when the Tibetan and Pakistani troops were gradually approaching, the soldiers in the first row were already squatting on the ground and began to aim at the Tibetan and Pakistani troops, and behind them, there were two rows of standing gunners.

When Solang Tsering rushed over, he saw that the number of the Ming army far exceeded that of the Zangba army, and his figure was immovable, his eyes had a trace of hesitation, and his pace did not slow down.

However, the soldiers of the Tibetan army were high-spirited and looked domineering, and Solang Tsering regained his self-confidence, and he used the only 500 cavalry as the vanguard to tentatively attack the infantry positions of the Ming army.

The excavation of the "Ancient Tea Horse Road" is that the Han people exchanged tea for the horses of the Tibetans, but there are too many mountains and rivers in the Wusi Tibet, which is not suitable for the long-distance running of the cavalry, so the Tibetan soldiers generally have few war horses.

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

……

One hundred paces was the effective range of the flintlock muskets, and when the front of the five hundred Tibetan cavalry came into range of the flintlock muskets, the first row of gunners did not hesitate to pull the trigger.

Nearly 200 Tibetan cavalrymen fell from their horses, or men and horses fell together in front of Solang Tsering's eyes.

Once the cavalry charged, the speed of the horses was very fast, and they couldn't stop at all, and when the Tibetan cavalry in front fell from their horses, the Tibetan cavalry behind stepped on the corpses of their companions and met the flintlock pistols of the Ming army.

When the gunners of the 3,000 Ming Army finished a wave of shooting, almost all the 500 Tibetan cavalry fell from their horses, and the wounded soldiers screamed one by one, and the fear in their eyes replaced the confidence and perseverance just now.

Solang Tsering was stunned, and in just a moment, his five hundred precious cavalry were completely wiped out by the Ming army, and he didn't even have time to order a retreat.

Looking at the Sun and Moon military flags fluttering in the wind opposite, Solang Tsering hesitated again, he did not order the infantry to attack, but watched in place, he wanted to see if his cavalry warriors could stand up from the ground.

Seeing that the Tibetan army was no longer attacking, Liu Zhenyu bowed his head and said a few words to the pro-soldiers beside him, the pro-soldiers nodded, and ran away quickly, he was going to convey the military order that Liu Zhenyu had just given.

About a battalion of soldiers, coming out of the rear, did not stop at all, but went straight to the gunners, and when they passed by the gunners, they did not stop.

They were not substitutes for the gunners, but went to clean up the battlefield where the Tibetan cavalry was in disarray.

clean up the carcasses of men and horses, leaving a passage for the Tibetan soldiers to attack again; Give a knife to the wounded soldiers, so that they can ascend to the Western Heaven Elysium early; Gather the ownerless horses so that they don't get in the way of the Tibetan army's attack.

The provocation of the Ming army was right under the nose of Solang Tsering.

Solang Tsering's brothers were waiting for his rescue, and before they died, they did not see Solang Tsering again, but waited for the saber of the Ming army.

Solang Tsering was completely enraged, and he immediately organized 1,500 infantry to launch a second wave of attacks.

The Ming army, which was cleaning the battlefield, immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, completely letting out the front of the gunners.

Seeing that it was the infantry that came up, Liu Zhenyu secretly ordered the gunners to put the Tibetan soldiers to eighty paces before shooting, the speed of the infantry was slow, there was no need to worry about them breaking through the position, and the infantry was not like the cavalry, if the casualties were too large, they would easily stop, or even run back.

The gunners were already aiming, and the Tibetan soldiers who rushed in three columns did not load the flintlock pistols until they were eighty paces away.

Compared to the cavalry, the infantry moved slowly, which was very suitable for the aiming of flintlock pistols, and after two rows of gunners fired bullets, the number of fallen Tibetan soldiers was already more than a thousand.

The Tibetan soldiers hesitated, although they had not yet received the order to retreat, but in the face of death, these elite Tibetan and Pakistani troops trained by Dan Zhen Wangpo himself were no longer invincible fighters.

The gunners were still aiming, and the first time they faced the elite of the Tibetan and Pakistani army, they achieved a complete victory, which made them extremely excited, and the visual impact of the bloody scene on them was much smaller.

The range of the flintlock pistol was maximized, and those Tibetan soldiers who were still a hundred or even a hundred steps away also fell under the flintlock pistol, although they also had long-range attack weapons - bows and arrows, but the Ming army was still far beyond the range of bows and arrows, and if they released arrows now, the only use was to give themselves courage.

In the face of a large number of casualties, any mental factors can be ignored, especially when there is no hope of victory.

Solang Tsering seemed to come to his senses, and he quickly gave the soldiers the order to retreat.

It's late, it's already too late.

Liu Zhenyu didn't want to let go of these Tibetan soldiers, as early as when the Tibetan soldiers began to hesitate and stagnate, he was prepared, and saw the Tibetan soldiers retreating, but saw the Ming army herald waving the order flag, and raised it left and right.

The cavalry on the left and right flanks of the Ming army quickly urged the war horses, the cavalry on the left flank rushed directly to the rear army of Solang Tsering, and the cavalry on the right flank quickly cut off the rear road of the remaining hundreds of Tibetan soldiers on the battlefield.

In the relatively open battlefield east of Gongbu City, they are all the same cold weapons, and the impact of cavalry on infantry is not a battle, but a massacre.

The cavalry on the right flank of the Ming army, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, ended the battle in only one pillar of incense, and all the Tibetan soldiers fell without surrendering.

Due to the language barrier, the Tibetan soldiers are about to surrender, and the Ming soldiers do not know, even if there are soldiers in the Ming army who understand Tibetan for the first time, they also pretend not to know, the swords on the battlefield have no eyes, who is willing to stop the saber in their hands and listen to the Tibetan soldiers say a few whispers? If there is this time, it is better to slash down with a knife and save time, Solang Tsering's rear army has not been wiped out, and the cavalry on the left flank is still waiting for their reinforcements.

The cavalry on the right flank did not clean the battlefield, they temporarily put down the wounded Tibetan soldiers who were crawling on the ground, and under the leadership of the cavalry commander, they once again cut off the return route of the Tibetan army.

The cavalry on both wings slaughtered the Tibetan infantry, not only was the speed much faster, but there was no need to worry about them escaping, there were many Ming cavalry on the periphery, they couldn't find a chance to shoot the knife, there really had to be Tibetan soldiers to highlight the encirclement of the cavalry, and they died faster.

Looking at the fewer and fewer hidden soldiers on the battlefield, Liu Zhenyu did not have the slightest worry, and he began to command the infantry to clean up the battlefield.

Of course, there is no time to bury the Tibetan army now, Liu Zhenyu asked the soldiers to make up for the fatal stabbing of the wounded soldiers of the Tibetan army first, so that they could end the unbearable pain as soon as possible.

After another half a pillar of incense, the battlefield had completely calmed down, and Solang Tsering also died in the chaos of the army, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Ming army, the Tibetan soldiers all looked similar, and no one had time to distinguish officers and soldiers from their clothing, and there was no need for this.

The Ming army's breakthrough of Chayu was a small test, where only the Tibetan people were armed; The Fifth Army that eliminated Solang Tsering was the real first battle of the Ming army into Tibet, and the Fifth Army was, after all, the descendant of Dan Zhen Wangpo, and the elite of Tang Zhen Wangpo's rule over Uszang.

While the Ming army wiped out the 3,000 soldiers of the Fifth Army, only five cavalrymen fell off their horses and were trampled to death by their horses, which was a one-sided battle, and the Ming army relied on superior weapons and numbers to defeat the Fifth Army of the Tibetan and Pakistani Army in Usizang # Dugu.

The Tibetan-speaking interrogator walked around among the wounded Tibetan soldiers, found a wounded soldier in an officer's uniform, and regardless of whether he was Solang Tsering or not, he turned his mouth to the soldiers, and the four soldiers dragged the wounded Tibetan officer out and threw him aside.

The officer's injuries were not serious, but he was shot in the left calf, and for a while he did not look like he was going to die.

The interrogator stood in front of him and asked him in Tibetan: "Sue me, how many Tibetans are there in the city?" And how many soldiers? ”

The wounded Tibetan officer sat on the ground, probably seeing the form of the battlefield clearly, his eyes drooped, and his eyes were gray, "You kill me, I will not betray the Buddha." ”

"Well, there is," the detective held out his thumb to him, "this is not a betrayal of the Buddha - since you refuse to cooperate with us, you must die, sue me, how are you going to die?" ”

"A knife through the heart, give a painful one." He didn't lift his head, avoiding the detective's defiant gaze.

"A knife through the heart? It's so pediatric that only you Tibetans can use it. The detective touched his beard and shaved his chin, "There are one thousand and thirty-six kinds of death sentences in the Ming Dynasty, and I can't finish talking about it for a while, so let's pick a few that you don't know and talk about!" ”
