Chapter 602: Encounter
On the third day, the Qilin army arrived at the Rezhen Temple, forty miles north of the city, and slaughtered the monks of the entire temple, not only the monks of the temple, but also the temple was also razed to the ground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the news reached the city, the tribes were furious. After hundreds of years of development, Buddhism has become the first major religion in Tibet, almost 70% of the Tibetan people believe in Buddhism, and the status of Buddhism in Tibet is very, very high, and higher than the imperial power.
Every temple in Tibet is like a palace, and it's too late to worship and worship, who dares to destroy the Buddhist temple?
It's like some Mus-Lim in the Hereafter, if you burn down the monasteries of the I-Si-Lan religion in front of Mu-Si-Lin, it will be more painful for them than killing them, and they will all go crazy and do everything they can to die with you.
Although Buddhism in Tibet at this time had not yet reached such a terrifying level, there were already many similar signs of anger.
After Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains, it was melted and merged by the Central Plains, and became the local Buddhism, just as a simple existence of faith, but on this side of Tibet, due to the influence of Bon in the original Tibet itself, after the collapse of Bon, Buddhism replaced the position of Bon in the people of Tibet, and because of this, the Buddhist sect in Tibet was higher than the imperial power.
Killing Buddhist monks and leveling Buddhist temples is almost like digging up the graves of their ancestors.
Who can say yes?
In the palace of Luoqi City, these various tribes who came to help were already full of righteous indignation, and they all clamored to go out to fight with the Qilin Army, to destroy the prestige of the Qilin Army, and to let the Great Song Dynasty know that Tubo was not so casually bullied.
Asley didn't dare to stop this, and if he stood up to stop it, maybe these angry coalition forces would be the first to tear him to pieces.
Not only that, but these coalition forces came under the banner of supporting him, which made Asley have to send troops and horses to follow them.
Therefore, 8,000 men were left to garrison the city of Luo to respond just in case, and led an army of 60,000 to attack the Qilin army.
Sidalang Temple, this temple is in the middle of the city and the rezhen temple that was leveled, it is a temple that enters the city of Luo from the direction of Naqu, because of the existence of the city, a large number of Tibetan people have gathered nearby, and the two temples outside the city of Luo, especially the Si Dalang Temple is full of incense. Especially after hearing about the invasion of the Qilin army of the Great Song Dynasty in the east, many of the people of Tubo in the vicinity moved to live in this Sidalang Temple, wanting to rely on the temple to resist the military disaster, but they never expected that this was actually on the way for the Qilin army to enter the city, and they never imagined that the Qilin army of the Great Song Dynasty would be so ruthless.
By the time the Qilin Army arrived here, the entire Sidalang Temple was full of chickens and dogs, and there were Tubo people fleeing in a panic everywhere.
The 20,000 troops of the vanguard of the Qilin Army were directly stationed outside the Sidalang Temple, looking at the group of people who had escaped outside the temple, especially the many monks mixed in them.
"Is this the Buddhism that the Tibetan people believe in? If you are a Buddha, why should you be as afraid of death as an individual? ”
Immediately, Li Chu put down the telescope and shook his head, it seems that all the Buddhist temples in the world are the same, where they can flicker, where they can grow, as for what faith, faith has a ghost use? It was nothing more than a hint of comfort in my heart, but it was such a sect that tried to learn from the I-Si-Lan religion, and tried to use the power of the church to surpass the imperial power.
"The people of Tubo can ignore it for now, these monks, don't leave any of them for me!"
"Yes."
Fengyu led the order, Li Chu's order immediately reached the 20,000 vanguard troops in front, after getting the order, the 20,000 Qilin army immediately took action, and very quickly surrounded the entire Si Da Long Temple, and some monks who tried to escape were shot down by the Qilin army with crossbow arrows.
Some monks were greedy for life and afraid of death, and even used the Tibetan people as a cover, deliberately hid in the fleeing people, and fled with the people, the result was that the Qilin army even shot these people together, in short, none of them could be left.
Soon, there was a river of blood outside the temple, and corpses were lying all over the ground.
In the temple, there are still some monks hiding in the temple to resist in vain, but the Qilin army does not attack, directly calls the demolition team, several bombs are installed on the wall of the temple, more than ten explosives are detonated at the same time in an instant, boom, the entire Sidalang Temple is all in ruins.
The monks who tried to resist also turned to dust along with the temple with this loud explosion.
Buddhism has a saying that dust returns to dust, and soil returns to earth.
Jizo Bodhisattva will be happy to greet you.
And don't blame whoever is who, who made this a war.
War is like that.
If you want to blame, blame you for being born in the wrong era, and blame your ruling authorities for being reluctant to make a choice.
Those people who fled from the string, Li Chu didn't let anyone chase them, although they went, anyway, they were about to arrive in Luoqi City now, and it was time for the situation in Tubo to come to an end.
After departing from Sidalang Temple, the army marched directly to the city of Luo.
Not long after leaving, a horse came back to report that there was a Tibetan army in front of him, numbering about 60,000 people.
60,000 Tibetan troops.
Li Chu just smiled.
He still has a chess piece in Tibet, Gao Mingshun.
As early as when these Tubo coalition troops appeared in Luoqi City to support the Wusi Department, Gao Mingshun fed back all this information to the Qilin Army through satellite phones, and these intelligence information also appeared in front of Li Chu's eyes at the first time.
The so-called 60,000-strong army is nothing more than a combination of all the allied armies of the Tibetan tribes.
It's just a rabble.
Moreover, according to the information from Gao Mingshun's return, these tribes who came to support the Wusi Department this time together, basically, it cannot be said basically, but that all the tribes in Tubo have all arrived, and there is no vacancy in that tribe, if there is, then this tribe has been wiped out in advance, that is, the dare department.
If I want to fight, I can't wait for it.
Li Chu immediately ordered the whole army to spread out their positions and directly fight with the 60,000 Tibetan army on the spot!
Anything, no shouting, no need.
The army directly pressed over step by step.
This unceremonious direct attack of the Qilin Army frightened the tribal leaders of these coalition forces.
