CHAPTER IX
Now it is completely different, almost within the radius of each impact point, there will be one or even two or three impact points that cross each other, and the lethality caused by this is not as simple as 1+1=2, and the power is multiplied. It can be said that it is a dense killing without dead ends.
The more than 100,000 troops of the Obstruction Army vanished, and together with their king Mockus, they became prisoners of the new army.
The coalition army, which suffered heavy casualties, was stationed north of the Great Palace, repairing and awaiting new orders from the imperial court.
Yun Yang and Ding Sijin immediately took in the prisoners of war, and got in touch with Baili Yi, who was guarding the Great Wang's Mansion, and began to follow the plan of Baili Wuji, and all the prisoners of war, along with the hundreds of thousands of herdsmen around the Great Palace, along the fort built to Yanyun and Goryeo, and then immigrate to Dongying.
Losing the obstruction of more than 200,000 troops in the Great King's Mansion and nearly a million herdsmen in the surrounding area, it can be said that there is no chance to turn over, and the Sticky Bage Department in the Altai Mountains has a population of less than 100,000, which has not played much role, if there is no accident, as long as the first line of the Great King's Mansion is held, it is only a matter of time before the Sticky Bagebu surrenders on its own initiative.
After obtaining the tacit approval of Yunyang and Bailiyi, he was ready to lead the Second Army of the New Army to the west again to crusade against the Sticky Bage.
At this moment, the will of Baili Wuji arrived, bringing new orders.
Baili Wuji edict abandoned the palace of the Great King of Zhubu and renamed it the Northwest Road Propaganda Division, with Yun Yang as the propaganda envoy to manage the military, political and financial affairs of the Northwest Road Propaganda Division, and ordered Yun Yang to cooperate with the imperial court to the Northwest Road immigration matters.
At the same time, Bailiyi and Ding Sijin rushed south. From Heishui to Suzhou, then turn westward, through Gua, Shazhou. Afterwards. The First Army led by Baili Yi to recover the areas occupied by the Uighurs in Western China, such as Gaochang and Qiuzi; Ding Sijin went south and prepared to assist Zhao Kuangyin and Ma Jiyun in attacking and destroying Tibet.
In addition, there was a secret letter that was transferred to Ding Sijing.
Zhao Kuangyin led his troops all the way forward, and he believed in the promise of Baili Wuji, just as he believed in Chai Rong. Although this rebellion did not allow him to sit on the throne as he wished, the result was not satisfactory, and he really occupied Tibet. To be a king, although he is not as prominent as the emperor, he is also under one person. is above 10,000 people, and besides, decades later, there may be hope of winning the Central Plains.
Zhao Kuangyin is undoubtedly a person with deep ambitions. It is also a contradiction. He has the righteousness of a ranger, but he has endless ambitions, and on this march, all he thinks about is to fight back to the Central Plains.
Just as Baili Wuji planned, erecting a potential "enemy" for the Ming State on the western border of the Ming Kingdom will help the Ming Kingdom to self-reflect and self-purify.
Zhao Kuangyin encountered all the sao harassment in a small group of troops along the way, and with many years of experience in the army, he dealt with these little thieves. It's effortless.
All the way to the Bowo and Heituo areas south of the Brahmaputra River, Zhao Kuangyin really encountered his opponent. The 150,000 cavalry of the king of Luo was waiting to "welcome" Zhao Kuangyin's visit.
Zhao Kuangyin is depressed and has nowhere to look for the main force of the Tubo army, because the territory of Tubo is too vast, if the Tubo army really hides and hides with him, it is really looking for a needle in a haystack, and he will not be able to find it if he does not look for a year and a half.
Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin chose to attack the capital of the king of Luo (around present-day Lhasa) to force the king of Luo to fight a decisive battle.
Zhao Kuangyin's method was direct and effective, and after being defeated by Yun Yang and Xu Shouren a few years ago, King Luo had no ambition to go east, and only thought about sticking to it for self-preservation.
This time, he was forced by Zhao Kuangyin to be helpless, so he had to fight a decisive battle with Zhao Kuangyin's troops on the last barrier in the east of Luoqi City, Bowo and Motuo.
Zhao Kuangyin can be said to be strong at this time, and has the support of a large number of grain and ordnance from Baili Wuji, and he has the intention of showing his skills, and according to Baili Wuji's promise, he will become the king of a country by himself when he defeats Tubo, which is equivalent to fighting for himself, how can he not do his best?
The war began to heat up.
At this time, Ma Jiyun's troops were marching westward under the order, and had just crossed the twisted area of the Jinsha River to capture Yucheng City, which had few defenders, and was hundreds of miles away from the battlefields of Bowo and Motuo.
Zhao Kuangyin's troops were defeated two days after a decisive battle with 150,000 Luo troops.
The reason for the fiasco was not that the fighting force was not strong, nor was it that the soldiers did not need to die. The main body of the army led by Zhao Kuangyin was the forbidden army of the Zhou State, and most of the generals had a fateful relationship with Zhao Kuangyin, and because of this, the losses suffered would be huge.
Fighting in a foreign country, not occupying the right time, place and people, plus the terrain of Tibet is on the plateau, the discord between water and soil has become the biggest obstacle for Zhao Kuangyin's department, and ten percent of the combat power cannot be exerted fifty percent.
However, the Logos army occupies the right place and place, and is more adept at raiding and harassing the Rangers.
At the beginning, Zhao Kuangyin's troops still occupied the initiative on the battlefield, but with the extension of the battle time, the battlefield gradually expanded, and at this time, the advantages of the Lawyers rangers began to show.
In this way, the balance of the battlefield gradually tilted in favor of the Luo army, and a large number of small groups of soldiers were divided and surrounded, and the water and soil caused by the topography of the plateau caused the soldiers to gradually lose their body, and later, it became unilaterally slaughtered by the Luo army.
Zhao Kuangyin's reaction speed was quite fast, and he immediately ordered the whole army to shrink, covering with archers and cavalry, and gradually leaving the battlefield to the east, and the Luo army seemed to be afraid of Zhao Kuangyin's combat strength, and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.
Zhao Kuangyin's troops had been retreating fifty miles to the east before they stabilized their position, and then they found that the discount of the 150,000 Western Expeditionary Army had been thirty percent.
The loss of the main combat force temporarily deprived Zhao Kuangyin's troops of the ability to attack again, and they could only set up camp to repair.
As a result, the first battle of Zhao Kuangyin's western expedition was temporarily suspended after two days of fierce fighting.
Fortunately, the logistics and supply have been smooth, otherwise, Zhao Kuangyin's department, which has been far away from the Central Plains, is at risk of collapsing due to the lack of grain.
In this way, it was not until three days later that Ma Jiyun led his troops to Luowo, the southern end of the Brahmaputra River, that is, fifty miles south of Bowo and Motuo, and got in touch with Zhao Kuangyin.
The two armies thus met on the banks of the Brahmaputra River.
After Ma Jiyun and Zhao Kuangyin discussed, it was decided that the troops would be divided into two routes, with Zhao Kuangyin continuing to attack Bowo and Motuo to attract the main force of the Luo army, and Ma Jiyun would lead his troops to attack Pibo City along the south bank of the Yarlung Zangbo River.
