readx; The focus of the Tang army's attack on Dabolu was not to take the capital of Dabolu, but to completely annihilate the 5,000 Tubo army of Dabolu, and at the same time to occupy the two bridges across the Shiquan River. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The deep stream and rapids on the Shiquan River divide the country of Dabolu into two, there are two cities in Dabolu, in addition to the capital city of Balti in the west of the river, there is a small city called Longdo City in the east, tens of thousands of people in the country are distributed on both sides of the Shiquan River, all connected by two bridges.

These two bridges are about 20 miles apart, they are called the North Bridge and the South Bridge by the locals, both bridges are guarded by the Tubo army, among which the bridge in the north is wider, it is a chain bridge, it can pass through a large baggage, it is the main passage road of the Da Bolu people, and the south bridge is a rattan bridge, because the north bridge is requisitioned as a military bridge by the Tubo people, the locals can only detour to the south bridge.

The main road of the south bridge also has to pass through the Tubo castle, but it has another small road to communicate, compared with the heavy guard of the north bridge, the Tubo army of the south bridge is much less, only one hundred, fifty people east of the bridge, fifty people west of the bridge, mainly to collect bridge tolls.

At the time of the third watch at night, the south bridge suddenly became lively, the king of the Great Bolu Tingsu led three thousand Bolu troops to appear next to the south bridge, the reason for crossing the bridge was very simple, he wanted to go to the east bank of the river to inspect his subjects, although the army of three thousand people took the south bridge is a little strange, but after all, Tingsu is the lord of a country, except for the main general Luncha Dezan above him, other Tibetan soldiers did not dare to make it difficult for him, the three thousand Bolu army walked across the south bridge in this way, to the hinterland of the east bank.

In the dark, although the military appearance of the Bolu army was not clear, there were still a few Tubo soldiers who found the strangeness of this army, the Bolu army was equipped with short swords, which were the weapons that the Tubo army eliminated to them, and this Bolu army wore long knives, which were quite similar to the horizontal knives of the Tang army, and they were all wrapped in robes, although the weather was cold, it always made people feel that there was something hidden under the robes, and their war horses seemed to be extraordinarily majestic.

Although there are many suspicions, they still did not attract enough attention from these Tibetan soldiers, and it is no wonder that the Tang army has never set foot on the land of Dabolu, not to mention the Tang army, no Han army has ever set foot on the land of Dabolu, so they never imagined that the Tang army would come.

．．．．．．．．． Soon after Ting Su led 3,000 Bolu troops across the east bank, another Tubo army of more than 1,000 people came to the west bank of the South Bridge. ”

In the night, someone replied in Tubo: "The north bridge has broken two iron cables, and it is being repaired, and we can't pass through, so we can only take the south bridge." ”

There was no flaw in the answer, and the centurion also thought that the army crossing the bridge some time ago caused the damage to the north bridge, so he turned around and waved his hand: "Release!" ”

More than a dozen Tibetan soldiers guarding the bridge immediately dodged away, the army drove towards the vine bridge, as the soldiers got closer and closer, a general with a big knife rode past the centurion, at this moment, the centurion suddenly found that this army was wrong, they were not Tubo, he was taken aback, just about to shout, but a cold light flashed, he was cut off by the horse general, the army swarmed up, surrounded the fifty soldiers guarding the bridge, in a miserable scream, fifty Tibetan soldiers guarding the bridge were all killed, at this time, There were also faint screams on the other side, and the 100 Tibetan soldiers on both sides of the strait were solved in an instant.

At this time, the beacon towers on both sides of the South Bridge were lit, which was a signal for help, and the night sky was exceptionally bright and dazzling.

．．．．．．．． The Art of War: "Know yourself and your opponent, and win all battles." ”

This sentence is not false at all when applied to the two armies of Tang and Tibet, the number and deployment of the Tubo army, the advantages of the terrain they occupy, the reinforcements of the Tubo army, etc., all the information about the Tubo army, the Tang army knows everything about the Tubo army.

On the contrary, the Tubo army knew nothing about the Tang army, and the idea that 'the Han army had never set foot in Da Bolu' was deeply ingrained in their minds, and no one would believe that the Tang army was by their side at this time, and the serious asymmetry of intelligence made the situation at this time like a normal person against a blind and deaf person.

The balance of victory has begun to tilt in favor of the Tang army, if the intelligence is compared to the time of the day, then the attitude of the Great Bolu is human, there is no doubt, the help of the Great Bolu to the Tang Army, is the key to this campaign, it is the defection of the Great Bolu people, so that the geographical advantage of Tibet has been eroded little by little, the Tang army has occupied the South Bridge, and ignited the beacon fire for help.

This time to rescue the south bridge, is the east bank of a thousand Tibetan army, they are only twenty miles away from the south bridge, the king of the Great Bolu Ting Su personally ran to the east bank of the Tibetan camp to ask for help, the three villages of hundreds of the Great Bolu people because of the heavy tax burden rebelled, they attacked the South Bridge of the Tibetan army, Ting Su begged the Tibetan army to come to the rescue.

The Tang army used the trickery of war and the ** of the surname to the extreme again and again, and the Tubo army on the east bank never suspected that the Great Bolu King Tingsu had become a spy, nor did they know that their commander had led his troops to pursue the Tang army patrol.

In their opinion, it was a pleasure to suppress the revolt of the Great Boru, especially after killing all the men, and the remaining women would become their spoils of war as a matter of course, and the boring military career required this bloody game. The ** of the woman blinded the last trace of reason of the Tubo people, a thousand Tubo troops rushed impatiently to the south bridge, and arrived at the south bridge in less than an hour, the rebellious village was on the west bank, the fifty Tubo soldiers stationed in the east of the bridge were gone, the night fog filled the canyon, nothing could be seen, only the noise on the other side was heard, mixed with the screams of many young women, and there were faintly many women shouting: 'Please, let go of me', as if begging for something, the sound of pleading drifted with the wind.

"It's my soldiers!"

Ting Su shouted: "It must be my soldiers who surround them, and I promise you that as long as you kill the rebels, all the women can be given to you as slaves, even my concubines." ”

The serpent-like promise of the Great Bolu King tempted the young, strong and energetic Tibetan soldiers, whose blood began to boil, and they rushed up the vine bridge and ran towards the opposite bank in desperation, but Tingsu, who had made a wonderful promise, disappeared silently.

The Fujiqiao is about 200 steps long, when the most forward Tubo soldiers are still 50 steps away from the west bank, the Tubo army has more than 700 people rushed onto the Fuji Bridge, the Fujiqiao began to shake, this is normal, the Tubo soldiers are also used to this kind of shaking, but soon, the shaking and tilting of the Fujiqiao exceeded the normal range, and the forward of the Tubo army began to shout, the screams were extremely terrifying and desperate.

They have seen dozens of people in front of them struggling to cut the rattan bridge, only to hear a huge breaking sound, the rattan bridge was cut off one side, the rattan bridge suddenly overturned, hundreds of Tubo troops on the bridge screamed and fell down the valley, and a hundred people grabbed the side of the rattan bridge, shouted in fear, at this time, the east bank has not yet been on the bridge nearly 300 Tubo troops were also attacked, in the night, arrows rained down, dense arrow rain blocked all the escape routes of Tubo, many Tubo troops fled a few steps, then screamed and fell, only a quarter of an hour, The Tubo army on the shore was all shot to death, and the Tubo soldiers who were fortunate to exist on the rattan bridge were also shot off the bridge by a rain of arrows, falling into the deep stream canyon where the river was rushing, and from beginning to end, the thousand Tubo army was annihilated until the end, and they did not know that they died in the hands of the Tang army.

．．．．．．．． The castle on the west bank of the canyon, this is the last defensive fort of the Tubo army of the Great Bolu, the castle is built on a stone platform more than ten zhang high, the circumference of the castle is hundreds of zhang, three zhang high, it is made of solid boulders, this is a male fort built by the Tubo army in the sixth year of Tianbao, the castle is not big, it can only accommodate more than 500 soldiers at most, it is full of grain, enough for the Tubo people to support one year.

All night, the Tibetan soldiers in the castle were worried and spent their sleepless nights, they saw the fire on the east side of the canyon, heard the shouting of the military camp not far away, I don't know how many Tang troops were killed, until almost dawn, the shouting and killing gradually calmed down, and the fire on the east bank also disappeared.

The sky is gradually brightening, the snow-capped peaks on the plateau are immersed in the golden light of the morning glow, the snow-capped peaks are constantly changing with magnificent luster, and the early morning of the plateau is as beautiful as ever.

But the Tubo army in the castle can not enjoy the beautiful scenery in the morning glow anyway, their hearts have fallen into the abyss, the castle is surrounded by the dense Tang army and the big Bolu army, there are enough 10,000 people, the Tubo soldiers woke up like a dream, they panicked and blew the horn, hundreds of Tubo troops have climbed to the top of the city, looking down at the black pressure of the Tang army.

The only thing that makes them feel gratified is that they have a strong city, with enough food and water for them to eat for a year, their castle doesn't even have a gate, and they rely on soft ladders to get in and out, and the fortification of the castle is even a bit like the stone castle city back then, isn't the stone castle city blocked the attack of tens of thousands of Tang troops with less than a thousand soldiers?

But soon some soldiers were surprised to find that at some point at the base of the castle wall into a few large black masonry, tightly embedded in the stone fort wall, this should be last night the Tang army quietly did, they did not attack on a large scale, in the dark night of the action is difficult to be found, the Tibetan soldiers are talking, do not know what these black bricks and stones are, someone moved stones to them to smash, but they can't hit them at all.

At this time, An Baozhen, the commander of the Tang Army, rode forward slowly, he looked at the six black bricks and stones embedded in the city wall with some pride, which was the city-breaking thunder specially developed by the Anxi Firearms Battalion, in fact, it was the twin brother of the earth-shaking thunder, although they had not seen the power of this city-breaking thunder, but he had seen the power of the earth-shaking thunder, the kind of earth-shaking explosion, which made his memory extremely deep.

Although he could have blown up the castle last night, he hadn't done that, he needed to show the Great Brous for himself so that they would remember the day forever.

He glanced back at King Tingsu and his army, then nodded to the executive officer next to him, and as soon as the officer waved his flag, he immediately rushed up to two soldiers, holding torches in their hands, and lit the fire oil on the ground, 'Boom! With a bang, the oil burned rapidly, and gradually formed a path of fire, burning towards the fort three hundred paces away.

The fire road is getting closer and closer to the castle, all the Tang troops are holding their breath, five thousand pairs of eyes are nervously watching the spread of the fire road, only three thousand big Bolu soldiers are curious to probe their brains, coughing, talking, buzzing, the Tubo soldiers on the head of the city are a different feeling, they stared blankly at the approach of the fire road, their hearts were full of an inexplicable fear, but no one thought to get water to extinguish it, in fact, they even thought of it too late, now there is only ice in the castle, there is no water, the ice must be burned first, and then the water will be poured, but the fire road will not wait for them.

In just a few moments, the fire road burned to the bottom of the city, 'Whoa! With a soft sound, the fuse that was twisted into a strand was ignited at the same time, and at this time, the five thousand Tang troops almost made the same action, all of them covered their ears with their arms and lay on the ground, holding their heads in their hands, even if they had never seen it, but they had heard of the power of earth-shaking thunder.

The soldiers of Da Bolu were stunned, and at the same time burst into laughter, pointing at the movements of the Tang Army and laughing forward and backward, at this moment, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly broke out under the Xiongbao, the explosion was deafening, the earth was trembling, many Da Bolu soldiers stood unsteadily, and fell to the ground, and then a stream of black smoke rose into the sky, in the black smoke countless stones and dust fell around, crackling, like hail, many Da Bolu soldiers were beaten to the head and bleeding, the war horses panicked, neighing and running in all directions.

But none of this mattered, the soldiers of Da Bolu were so frightened that their faces were as pale as earth, and they all knelt on the ground, and kowtowed desperately, in their opinion, this was the mountain god roaring, it was the thunder god who was wielding, and even the king Tingsu knelt down, his face was pale, and he kowtowed.

The power brought by this city-breaking thunder has exceeded the imagination of the Great Bolu people, they can only regard it as the power of the gods, and after many years, this abandoned Tubo castle is still there, and it has become a temple revered by the Bolu people.

After a long time, thousands of Tang troops slowly stood up, patted the dust on their bodies, and looked at the castle of the Tubo people, only to see that the castle had collapsed half, and the root of the wall had been blown down a large piece, and the foundation of the wall could not bear the weight of the castle, as if it was dominoes, and collapsed in one fell swoop, and most of the hundreds of Tubo troops were submerged in the huge pile of bricks and stones.

"Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements!" An Baozhen let out a long sigh.

．．．．．．．．． North of Tianzhu in the country of Nepal, that is, today's kingdom of Nepal, in February of the second year of Zhenzhi, a Tang army full of baggage marched through the mountains and mountains of the country of Nepal, this Tang army team has 8,000 people, led by the governor of Xinde Feng Changqing, they traveled all the way east from Xinde, the army passed, Tianzhu countries all offered food and bowed down, but Feng Changqingdi this march was not to conquer Tianzhu, but in the implementation of Li Qing'an's Tocharian strategy in an important part, to the north of Luo.

The route they chose for their march was the Nibora route of Wang Xuance in the early Tang Dynasty, which was also the main road for the Tubo and Nibora people to and fro, crossing the present-day Himalayas from the Mangyu Pass, or crossing the Himalayas from another important mountain pass, which is the present-day Nyalam Pass, into the territory of Tibet.

But Feng Changqing also knew that this difficult march was also a huge adventure, if the Tubo army did not come out, their 8,000 expeditionary force would probably sleep in a foreign land, but in order to win this battle to completely defeat the Tubo people, Feng Changqing staked his future and fate together.

Ten miles away, the royal city of the country of Nepal, the city of Kalimon bathed in golden sunlight was already visible in the distance, Feng Changqing waved his hand, "The army stops advancing!" ”

He ordered a soldier who was proficient in the Tibetan language: "Go and tell the king of the Nebhara that the Tang Heavenly Soldiers have arrived, and if they do not surrender the Heavenly Soldiers, the Tang Army will sweep away the Nibore!" ”
