readx; Thousands of Tubo people have run hundreds of steps away, their figures are a little different, and their voices are also extremely sharp, Li Qing'an has seen clearly, the thousands of Tubo cavalry running in front are all women, Li Qing'an's mind can't help but appear Tubo coach Shang Xi Dongzan's face The cold smile, maybe this is his surprise! Use women to meet the arrow array of the Don army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li Qing'an has already touched the pulse of this Shangxi Dongzan, he always likes to go sideways, the last time was a surprise attack on the interior of Anxi, although the idea is good, but it is a little not thoughtful, this time it is the same, using a woman to play the striker, trying to make himself unbearable and mess up, didn't he think that the sword can kill the enemy and hurt himself?

At this time, all the Tang troops looked at Li Qingan, should these women be killed or not? Li Qingan squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, the sky had changed, it was cloudy just now, but at this moment it was already dark clouds rolling, a stream of flying sand and rocks in front of the formation, sand and dust filled the air, and a summer rain was coming.

A grim smile appeared at the corner of Li Qingan's mouth, he was cocooning himself in a smile, he could have had a chance to fight with the Tang Army, but he wrapped so many civilians in the army, making him lose the favor of God.

"Kill!"

Li Qingan gave the final order in a low voice.

Five thousand crossbowmen stepped forward, five thousand swarthy Tang crossbows pointed into the air, the killing machine condensed on the rapid crossbow, and the rest of the Tang army's long knives were unsheathed, controlling the somewhat restless war horses, waiting for the moment of outbreak.

The women are getting closer and closer, they can already be seen waving their hands, telling the Tang army that they have no weapons, most of these women are trying to flee for their lives, they live in Sabite, they will only milk cows and herd sheep in peace, serve men, they have never experienced the test of war like today, and they have never been so close to death as at this moment, they don't know that they have become the scapegoat of the Tubo commander Shang Xi Dongzan, they are getting closer and closer, less than a hundred steps away from the Tang army, and have entered the killing range of crossbow arrows, at this time, Some of the herdsmen behind were already somewhat aware of the danger, and they began to stop and prepare to turn around and escape, but they were forced to continue to advance by the fierce Tubo army with a long sword. Will they be able to kill these women and children? If they hesitated, the women, children, and herdsmen would disrupt their position, and his army would be able to enter the ranks of the Tang army.

"One hundred more steps, ready for an assault!"

Shang Xi Dongzan had just given the order, and suddenly there was a big chaos in front of him, and the Tang army's arrow array broke out, and thousands of crossbow arrows were shot at the rushing women's group in unison, screaming everywhere, these women had no sense of defense, and in a moment, thousands of people were planted by arrows from their horses, and horses' hooves stepped over them, and the flesh and blood were blurred suddenly.

The women were terrified, they turned around and fled, at this moment, the bean-sized raindrops crackled and fell, an unexpected summer rain swept through the Sabize basin, the bows and arrows of the Tang army could not be used, Li Qing'an gave an order, the cavalry suddenly launched, 10,000 cavalry rushed towards the Tubo with great momentum, they were tall and mighty, murderous, and suddenly the chaotic position of the Tubo army rushed open a big hole, the downpour came suddenly, the rain and fog were filled, the visibility was sharply reduced, and the Tubo army was even more chaotic.

Although the total number of the Tubo people was still 10,000 more than the Tang army, the Tubo herdsmen who had been living a peaceful life not only could not help the Tubo army to fight, but dragged down the breakthrough of the Tubo army, when the arrows of the Tang army were mercilessly shot at the rushing women, the Tubo camp was in chaos, death and bloodshed frightened the rushing Tubo women, they turned around and fled, and brought their families, these civilians who had never been through the war were frightened by the cold killing of the Tang army, and the Tubo officers could not stop their panic and escape, Their confusion was like being blown away by the wind, revealing the hard wall stones below, and the 15,000 Tubo army appeared, but it was too late, they could no longer maintain the stability of their positions, and the chaotic situation caused the sharpest cavalry of the Tang army to break the defense of the Tubo army.

At this time, Shang Xi Dongzan was full of regret in his heart, he realized that he had made a huge mistake, God had given him the opportunity to win, but he let it go in vain, he actually forgot that the bow and crossbow of the Tang army could not shoot in the rain, if he did not bring these herdsmen, if he suddenly launched an attack after the heavy rain, without the threat of the bow and crossbow army, the war on the plateau, who would kill the deer, it is not yet known!

Shang Xi Dongzan did not seize the opportunity of heavy rain from the sky, but Li Qing'an seized the opportunity of a chaotic situation in Tibet, ordered the whole army to cover up, the cavalry rushed to the position of the Tubo army, and there was a loud horn sound in the east, the Tubo army faced the unfavorable situation of suffering from the enemy on its belly and back, and it was even more fatal to be chaotic, in the pouring rain, the crying, the crying and the vast rain and fog were connected, the soldiers and herdsmen were mixed together, and the women, children and the elderly were fighting for their lives, and the soldiers could not find the soldiers, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the defeat of the Tubo army was decided.

Seeing that the general trend has gone, Shang Xi Dongzan ordered a breakthrough, which was originally an expected battle, but in the end it evolved into a unilateral pursuit and massacre without suspense, the corpses were all over the field, the blood flowed like a river, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, in the strangulation and pursuit of the Tang army, 15,000 Tubo troops suffered heavy casualties, less than 3,000 escaped, 8,000 Tubo troops were killed, more than 4,000 people were captured, tens of thousands of herdsmen were killed, nearly 30,000 Tubo herdsmen were captured, and they were surrounded by the Feng Changqing army that killed from the east, Feng Changqing stopped the Tang army's massacre of them and captured them all.

The rain in the Sabitze Basin came and went quickly, the downpour turned into a drizzle, and the fine and dense needle-like rain washed the blood stains on the grassland, Li Qing'an immediately stood on a high hill, his eyes coldly watched the Tang army clean up the battlefield, he just got the news, the Tang army in Khotan had intercepted the northward movement of the Tubo soldiers, due to the timely arrival of the Shule reinforcements, the Tubo army had been defeated, the Tubo general Jiazha Sanji was killed in the chaos, and the head was sent to ask for merit, but the Tang army also suffered heavy losses, and the four thousand Tang troops lost more than half, With more than 2,000 casualties, plus more than 1,000 killed today, the Tang army captured Sabitze in one fell swoop at the cost of nearly 4,000 dead and wounded.

The rain has completely stopped, the battlefield has been cleaned, groups of prisoners of war are being escorted in, in front of Li Qing'an's eyes, the cavalry of the Tang Army escorted a group of captured Tibetan soldiers to walk by, they hung their heads, many of them were wounded, in the distance, a large group of Tibetan women and children were driven by the Tang army, stumbling, crying to the sky, behind them, followed by groups of herdsmen with panicked expressions and dull eyes, most of them have been separated from their wives, their property is gone, they do not know their future, they do not know whether they will suffer the fate of slaughter.

At this time, a group of Tang troops surrounded Feng Changqing and galloped over, and Feng Changqing arched his hand on the horse and said: "See the general!" ”

"General Feng has worked hard!" Li Qingan smiled and nodded.

Feng Changqing also sighed: "I thought it would be a vicious battle, full of hope, but I didn't expect the war to end so quickly, and even the two armies have not faced each other head-on, which is really regrettable." ”

"This is because the Tubo army only wants to break through the siege and has no intention of fighting, which also shows that the Tubo people have no time to look west, otherwise, how could there be only 20,000 people in the Sabitize region, annihilate them, and I have completed the task assigned by the imperial court."

Li Qing'an's tone was very relaxed, but he also had some regrets in his heart, he made full preparations for this battle, he thought it would be a vicious battle, but he didn't expect it to end so soon, but this was also his expectation, in the battle of Boxian Town in history, the Anxi army also won easily, which is inseparable from the strength of the Anxi army itself.

At this time, Feng Changqing glanced at the old Tubo women and children who were crying all the way, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, so he asked: "General, what to do with these herdsmen?" ”

Li Qingan smiled faintly and said, "I want to kill them all!"

Feng Changqing was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The general must not!" ”

"Why not?" Li Qing'an glanced at him and said: "The old man is killed, the man is driven into slavery, and the woman is not in the army, don't the Tubo people deal with us Han people like this?" ”

Feng Changqing sighed and said: "That is the brutality of the Tubo army, if we also treat the other party's civilians like this, how is this different from the Tubo army?" Moreover, the general has abolished the slavery in Anxi, and the use of Tubo slaves seems to be a bit difficult to explain, and the court will also have criticism, which is not conducive to the reputation of the general, please think twice! ”

"I'm just talking! Since I have abolished slavery, I naturally include the Tibetans. ”

Li Qing'an smiled and said: "I am going to send all these Tibetan prisoners of war and civilians to Yincheng, so let them serve the people in Yincheng and make a living by mining silver mines, in addition, I don't want to let go of the 30,000 Tubo herdsmen sent to Wula Wulan Lake by Shangxi Dongzan." ”

Speaking of this, he ordered Feng Changqing: "I will give you 5,000 cavalry, equipped with two horses, and you will give me a night trip to Ulan Ula Lake, and chase back the 30,000 herdsmen and their cattle and sheep to me, which is your first merit!" ”

．．．．．． In the Potala Palace, in a low trombone sound, hundreds of guards and several ministers surrounded the young Tibetan Zanpu from the high steps, he was fully armed, with a bow and arrow on his back, a long sword in his hand, and a suit of armor, not far away, Dalun Nang Xieda Dazan, accompanied by several Bon high priests, respectfully waiting for him to come.

At this time, although Buddhism has been introduced to the plateau, but the local religion Bon still occupies a dominant position in Tibet, the spread of religion and belief needs a long-term process of faith, but also needs the vigorous promotion of the ruling class, Buddhism really developed in Tibet, it is thanks to the young Zampu in the later years to vigorously promote.

The young Zampu is the famous lord of Zhongxing in the history of Tibet, Trisong Dezan was born in the first year of Tianbao, he claimed to be the son of Princess Jincheng of Tang, in fact, this is just a pretext, Princess Jincheng has died two years before he was born.

Tri Song Detsen was his father Chide Zuzan died a few years ago after the Battle of Stone Castle after the throne, this year he is only eleven years old, but he is more mature than his peers, this time he is worried, just a few days ago, a guard risked death to tell him a news, the Tang army attacked Tubo, Sabite's Tubo army was annihilated, the Qiangtang in the northwest of Tubo has been unguarded, and the Tang army in the east has captured Jiuqu and Wuhai, and besieged Dazaru Gong in Baihai, seeing that Baihai is about to be lost.

Tri Song Detsen's heart was extremely anxious, he knew that all this was caused by the shrinkage of the army of Dalun Nang Xiedazan to the vicinity of Luoqi, the territory of Tibet is thousands of miles, but the frontier and the vast plateau are unguarded, this is simply incredible.

Of course, he also knew what was the purpose of the shrinkage of the troops? Holding the army in his hands made him firmly in power, the result was that Shangxi Dongzan was driven away, Dazarugon was forced to leave Luo, and he alone had the final say in the whole of Tibet, and he didn't even take his own Tubo Zampu to heart.

Looking at the ugly face of Nangxie Dazan in the distance, Trisong Dezan was furious in his heart, he couldn't help but snort heavily, and the minister Jisang Jiagong behind him hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Zampu, stay calm!" ”

Trisong Dezanqiang suppressed the resentment in his heart, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, and Lao Yuan smiled at Da Lun Nang Xie Dazan: "Da Lun, I'm going to ride a horse and falcon today, you go with me!" ”

Nangxie Dazan is a tall and fat middle-aged man, about fifty years old, with a hypocritical smile on his face, he spent more than two years, and finally drove away his political enemies Shangxi Dongzan and Dazalugong, monopolizing power, the sweetness and intoxication of power made him forget for a long time, so that he thought he was the lord of Tibet, he looked down on this young man Zampu at all, and never reported to him in any government affairs. The Tang army will not stay on the plateau for a long time, and they will retreat after the cold winter comes, and it would be best if they could get rid of Shangxi Dongzan and Dazarugon with the help of the Tang army.

Shangxi Dongzan has been defeated, the remnants of the army retreated to Namco Lake, ready to return to Luo to plead guilty, and now there is still one Dazaru Gong, trapped in Baihai, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be broken by the Tang army, no matter what, he must kill these two people, even if the Tang army fails to kill them, he will not let go.

At this time, when Nang Xie Dazan saw that the young Zampu was fully armed, he couldn't help but feel a trace of vigilance in his heart, and took two steps back to his guards, but when he heard that Zampu was going to hunt, he was slightly relieved, and stepped forward and said with a smile: "Zampu, what's the fun of going out hunting, I brought a few high priests today, and ask them to take turns to tell stories to Zampu!" After talking for a few days and nights, Zampu forgot about hunting. ”

"Da Lun, I don't want to hear stories, I want to go hunting!" Tri Song Dezan said with an innocent face.

"Zampu is such a child!"

Nang Xie Dazan smiled and said to Trisong Dezan about the conditions: "Otherwise, you listen to the story first, and then go hunting after listening to the story." ”

"Okay!"

Trisong Dezan jumped up with joy, took off the bow and arrow from his back and stuffed it to Nangxie Dazan, and said, "I don't want these guys, I'll give them to you!" ”

Helplessly, he took the bow and arrow, and was about to take the sword he handed over, but at this moment, Trisong Dezan pointed behind him and shouted, "Why did Dazaru Gong come back?" ”

Nang Xie Dazan was taken aback, turned his head to look, there were only dozens of his personal guards behind him, how could there be any Dazaru Gong, just at the moment when he turned around, Trisong Dezan suddenly pulled out his long sword, and a sword stabbed into his chest, the sword was extremely sharp, and it actually pierced the chest of Nang Xie Dazan wearing fine chain mail, and Nang Xie Dazan screamed, grabbed the blade of the sword with his hand, and stared at this young Zampu, he still couldn't believe that this eleven-year-old boy actually dared to kill himself.

When he saw the contempt and anger in Tri Song Detsen's eyes, he suddenly understood that he really deserved to die, and Nang Xie Dazan fell to the ground limply, and Trisong Dezan bit his lip tightly, and pulled out his sword violently, and another sword stabbed into Nang Xie Dazan's neck, slitting his throat, and blood splattered all over him.

At this time, the stunned Nang Xie Dazan guards finally reacted, they roared and rushed up, and hundreds of guards of Tri Song Dezan also rushed up, surrounding the master tightly, and the two sides shouted and fought together, at this time, Tri Song Dezan chopped off the head of Nang Xie Dazan with a sword, and shouted highly: "Nang Xie Dazan is dead, and those who surrender will not die." ”

Seeing that the master was dead, the guards of Nangxie Dazan had no intention of fighting again, and those who surrendered and fled fled dispersed in a moment, and when Trisong Dezan saw that the general situation had been decided, he turned back to Jisang Jiagong who was pale with fright: "Go and inform the military, let all the commanders come to the Potala Palace to see me, I have something to inform them!" ”

．．．．．．． In early July, Geshuhan attacked the Tubo army with about 50,000 Tang troops, and defeated Dazarukon's 20,000 troops in the small city of Doma, and Dazarukon led 2,000 remnants of the army to flee south to Xingsu Fort in panic.

Xingzhu Fort is a male fort built by the Tubo army in the high and dangerous place of Xingsu River, located in the west of Baihai, lying on the road leading to Luo, more than 100 miles to the south is the famous Purple Mountain, that is, today's Bayan Kala Mountain, the mountain is extremely high, snow-capped.

Xingzhu Fort is located on a cliff about 100 zhang high in the branch of the Purple Mountain, only a narrow sheep intestine path leads to the castle, as if it is another stone castle city, it was originally a fortress built by the Tubo army to store grain in order to defend against the plateau wolves, but now it has become the last defense of the Tubo army.

It should be said that the Tang army has taken Baihai, drove more than 100,000 Tubo herdsmen living here to Wuhai, and seized a large number of cattle and sheep materials, but if they can't take this Xingzhu Fort, they can't talk about completely seizing Baihai, it is like a nail inserted in Baihai, which makes Ge Shuhan restless, and he has used 50,000 troops to attack this lonely fort, but he has never been able to attack it.

They did not have large-scale siege weapons, all relied on the flesh and blood of the Tang army to attack, the attack was extremely difficult, heavy casualties, the attack for more than a month, the Tang army has been killed under the castle more than 8,000 people, with the plateau for too long, many Tang troops can not adapt to the plateau climate, have fallen ill and left, the Tang army continues to attrition, by the middle of August, the 50,000 army only has more than 30,000 people left.

Although he couldn't capture Xingzhu Fort, but Ge Shuhan refused to give up, he patted his chest in front of Li Longji and swore that he would annihilate the Tubo army, if there was still a soldier left in the Tubo army, it would not be counted as his credit, and he didn't want the lord of Xiping County, but now there are more than 2,000 Tubo troops, if he can't take Xingzhu Fort, Baihai will not be able to occupy it, and his Xiping County King will have no hope.

Therefore, Ge Shuhan made a ruthless heart, he couldn't take the Xingzhu Fort, he would never stop, 30,000 Tang troops surrounded the Xingzhu Fort, day and night non-stop attack, the counterattack of the Tubo army is getting weaker and weaker, the stones are gone, the castle has been demolished to the extent that it can no longer be demolished, and the castle will collapse if it is demolished, and the two thousand Tubo army will only have less than 600 people left, desperately resisting under the leadership of Dazarugon.

On this morning, the Tang army's attack was launched again, 10,000 Tang troops attacked up along the trail, and pieces of frozen half sheep or whole cow heads smashed down, these beef and mutton were the grain of the Tubo army, stored in the castle, there were no stones, and they could only be used to block the Tang army's attack.

Thousands of Tang troops shouted, have raised a big shield to defend, but there are still nearly 100 people were smashed off the cliff, the screams echoed in the valley, the attack for two months, the Tang army is also exhausted, the plateau climate makes their physical exertion huge, many people can't climb up, lying on the mountainside panting, at this time Dazarugon has despaired of reinforcements, his only hope is that the cold winter is coming, the Tang army is forced to evacuate, in that way, he still has a glimmer of life.

In fact, Dazarugon is not running out of ammunition and food, he can also completely dismantle the castle and defend the cliff, so that he still has tens of thousands of big stones to use, but he doesn't want to do this until he has to, he has to calculate the time, and he wants to use these tens of thousands of stones to last until winter, how easy it is to say.

Fortunately, both sides are exhausted, the defenders are so tired that they almost die, and the Tang army is also weak in attack, getting weaker and weaker, this is not like in the plains, in the past two months of fighting, both sides have reached the end of the strong crossbow, it depends on who can hold out to the end.

The lack of strength in the attack made Ge Shuhan extremely angry, and he shouted loudly in a hoarse voice, "Pass my order, order the war officer to go up, and those who dare to fear death and do not attack will be killed immediately!" ”

He grabbed the drumsticks and personally beat the drums to cheer, the rumbling drums sounded, and dozens of officers and soldiers who supervised the war also went up the mountain, and the Tang army had no choice but to desperately launch another offensive.

At this moment, several scout cavalry rushed to the scene and reported in horror: "Report to the marshal, the Tibetan reinforcements have been found a hundred miles away!" ”

"What!"

Ge Shuhan was stunned, he jerked the scout's shirt and yelled at him, "Tell me quickly, how many reinforcements there are!" ”

"At least, at least 80,000."

"Dangchang!"

Geshuhan's drumstick landed, he sat down weakly, staring blankly at the unconquerable Star Fortress, which he had spent so much time that he did not deploy any defenses, and when 80,000 Tibetan reinforcements arrived, his dream was shattered, and his king of Xiping began to leave him.

Ge Shuhan only felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, so frightened that his own soldiers surrounded him and shouted: "Handsome! How are you? ”

Ge Shuhan waved his hand lightly, and said in an unusually low voice: "Pass my order, the whole army will withdraw north to Jiuqu and abandon Baihai and Wuhai." ”

In August of the 11th year of Tianbao, with the arrival of 80,000 reinforcements from the Tubo army, Ge Shuhan finally fell short, he knew that the Tang army had been unable to hold Baihai and Wuhai, so he had to retreat north across the Yellow River to Jiuqu, relying on the fortifications of Jishi Mountain to confront the Tubo army, Tubo logistics were insufficient, and after recovering Baihai and Wuhai, he would no longer go north, and the two sides would take Jishi Mountain as the boundary, and the war was temporarily suspended.

The Battle of Tibet, which had been planned for nearly a year, ended with the victory of the Tang Army, and although the plan was not completed on the Eastern Front, the Western Front won a complete victory.

At the beginning of September, Li Longji ordered the Longyou Army and the Anxi Army to be commended, and officially named Ge Shuhan as the king of Xiping County, the general of the hussars, and the secretary of the Ministry of Inspection, Li Qing'an was crowned as the protector of the capital of Anxi, and ordered him to withdraw from Shazhou immediately.
