That night, after suffering the defeat, the Tibetan army was once again awakened from a deep sleep.

The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, the sound of drums shook the sky, and then the sound of gongs was deafening.

Sounds like there are thousands of troops.

- The Don army attacked the camp again!

No, it's harassment again!

The Tubo army who was woken up was so angry that he cursed.

But after being harassed by the Tang army last night and not sleeping all night, and being beaten by the Tang army during the day, the Tubo army resolutely did not fall into place, and after scolding a few times, they all lay down and fell asleep, and only the 3,000 cavalry on duty at night came out of the camp.

The Tang army also came to "attack the camp" with 3,000 men and horses, each with two torches, with flags on their backs, and the wind blew and flickered, as if 10,000 flags were unfurled, and as soon as the Tubo cavalry came out of the camp, the 3,000 Tang troops struck gongs and trumpets - the gongs and trumpets shook the sky and rushed back.

The three thousand Tibetan cavalry only felt that their ears were buzzing, and they chased two miles in anger, and if they continued to chase them, they were worried that they would be ambushed, so they took the reins with hatred and scolded "damn Tang dog" and returned to the camp.

During the third watch, Tang Jun came to harass again.

Except for the soldiers on duty and patrolling at night, everyone else in the camp fell asleep in the tent, and many soldiers just opened their eyes and cursed a few words before closing their eyes again, and the 3,000 cavalry on duty were still on duty at night.

Of course, the Tibetan general was also awakened by such a loud noise, turned over the □ on the leather mattress, and scolded, "Phew! His eyes closed and he snorted again.

After the Tang army was driven away, the night was quiet again.

When it came to the fourth watch, the Tang army did not come.

The Tubo soldiers on duty at night all believed that the Tang army should not come again.

Then came the fifth watch, which is when people sleep most soundly.

Outside the camp, the sound of horses' hooves and drums and trumpets sounded again.

The Tibetan soldiers who watched the sentry on the wooden tower saw the clusters of torches under the night sky, like a team of 10,000 people, and muttered, "Here we go again!" "I didn't ring the police gong for attacking the camp, I just picked up the whistle hanging around my neck and blew it a few times.

The 3,000 Tubo cavalry who heard the whistle cursed in their hearts, "The damn Tang dog is harassing again", turned over and got on the horse, the soldiers on duty opened the camp gate, and the 3,000 cavalry roared and rushed out, intending to drive the harassed Tang cavalry back.

But after the 3,000 cavalry rushed out of the camp, they were soon horrified to find that this time it was not harassment, but a real attack on the camp!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Go back and report the news! Seeing that the team in front of him had been surrounded by the enemy, the commander hurriedly fired three arrows at the rear of the team.

The soldiers behind him also sounded the horn to warn, but this horn was suppressed by the horn sounded by the Tang army, and the horns of the two armies were mixed together, so that the people in the camp could not hear the warning horn at all.

The commander of the Tibetan Thousand Commanders fell down after firing the third arrow, and the sharp sound revealed his position, and just as he shot the third arrow, five or six arrows were inserted into his back almost at the same time, and he opened his mouth wide and screamed twice, and fell off his horse with a thud.

The Tubo soldiers at the rear of the team were startled when they heard the three chirps coming from the front, and then reacted, turned their horses back, and ran quickly into the camp, shouting as they ran: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”

On the earthen platform at the east corner of the camp gate, the Tubo soldiers in charge of the lookout saw their own cavalry running back, even if they didn't hear the roar clearly in the sound of drums and trumpets, they also felt that something was wrong, and only then did they take a closer look at the distance, the torches flickered as if people and horses were galloping and fighting, and the two lookouts were shocked into a cold sweat. One of them turned to pick up the gong mallet, and was about to strike the large gong on the wooden frame behind him, but he fell down with a glare, and two long-range crossbow arrows were stuck in the back of the heart. The other lookout, stunned, was also shot through the neck by a crossbow arrow, and fell down without saying a word.

The Tubo cavalry, who were running back, finally arrived in front of the camp gate and shouted, "Open the door!" Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

The soldiers on duty at the gate asked for the password, and then opened the camp gate.

More than 100 Tibetan cavalry rushed into the camp, and the people in front shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Close the door! ”

The gatekeepers hurriedly closed the gate, but the camp gate was only halfway closed when they were shot by bows and arrows flying from the rear of the group.

The Tubo cavalry in front shouted: "It's the Tang Army!" "Stop them!" Except for a few Tibetan cavalrymen who reported the news, the rest of the cavalry returned to their horses and waved their spears, fighting with dozens of Tang cavalry disguised as Tibetan soldiers.

The Tubo soldiers patrolling the camp finally sounded the gong, and a shrill voice roared in the camp: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! The Don army has attacked the camp! ”

The Tubo soldiers in the camp were all awakened, blindfolded and stunned for a moment, and their first reaction was "the Tang army is harassing again", followed by the sound of gongs sounding everywhere, mixed with the roar of "enemy attack", and the sharp sound of horns, the Tubo soldiers all beat each other.

Did the Don Army really attack the camp?

The soldiers in the tent hurriedly took their swords, put on leather armor, kicked their boots out of the tent, some people panicked and did not even put on their hats, they went out of the tent and turned over on their horses, and saw countless torches shining, in the darkness I don't know how many enemies, only heard the sound of shouting and killing close to the ears, as if there were enemies on all sides, and heard the sound of arrows whizzing, some people got on their horses and were shot by crossbow arrows, and screamed in panic, even if the place where the arrow was hit was not fatal, but the heart had also given birth to the fear of dying.

If it was daytime, they would not have been so panicked, but they could not see clearly in the night, and they could only hear the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing on all sides of the camp, which made people's fear infinitely magnified, and the command and command could not be as accessible as during the day, let alone in this panicked situation. The Tubo soldiers who came out of the tent could only hear the nearest shouting order, and ran to the Chinese military tent with the surrounding Tubo soldiers - first to rescue the main general, this is the consciousness that every Tubo soldier is instilled. But after running for a short time, he heard a noise of noise, saying that the lord was about to die, and the lord was about to flee, and the Tubo soldiers who ran to the tent of the Chinese army were stunned, and then I don't know who gave the order—perhaps there were such people in every team who should return to their horses first, and led all the people to flee to the outer camp.

This escape was chaotic, with people and horses colliding, shouting and wailing.

I heard someone shouting and fled westward, surrounded by the Tang army on the east, south, and north!

As soon as the fleeing Tubo soldiers heard the reason, the west camp was built near the river, and the Tang army could not attack the camp from that side, so those who heard the sound fled westward, and those who did not hear it also fled to the west with the current.

Out of the west camp gate, the horse's hooves tread the water, the river is not deep, only the horse's legs, but after all, it is not as fast as the galloping horse on the shore, and at this time, I heard the other side of the river shouting and killing, the horse's hooves thundered, and countless feathered arrows were shot.

The soldiers shouted: "Ambushed!" "There is an ambush!" Some of them rushed to the other side of the river, some of them retreated, and some of them ran upstream or downstream along the riverbank, in short, they had no orders, and only ran by instinct or following those in front.

The Tang army divided into four ways, shouted and chased behind them, and shot many people to death, and those who were caught up were already frightened, and they were killed by Tang Qi and fell off their horses before they could fight.

At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the fleeing Tubo troops all consciously ran to the southeast, and some Tubo soldiers saw the banner of the main general, and they leaned over there one after another, gradually converging into a team of more than 10,000 people. But to the southeast fled more than ten miles, was ambushed by a Tang army out of the flank, the Tubo general did not dare to fight, left 3,000 cavalry to intercept, led the brigade to flee forward, escaped four or five miles and killed a force of ambush soldiers...... Killing all the way made the Tibetan soldiers panic and fearful, and they did not ease their breath until they approached the royal court.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the Tubo lord had a whole group of men and horses, but there were only more than 7,000 horsemen, and there were more than 6,000 horsemen who stayed in the rear to intercept the Tang army.

The Tibetan lord only felt that his eyes were black, and he didn't know how to explain when he went back.

In this battle, the Tang army won a great victory.

The Tibetan army had 11,000 horsemen, captured 8,000 horsemen, captured more than 20,000 horses, 8,000 cattle and sheep, hundreds of thousands of feather arrows, and countless weapons and armor. The two-day battle exploits were counted together, and the officers and men of the four armies were rewarded. Xiao Yan was reported by Cao Yuandu for his first merit in yesterday's battle, and today he was tired of work, and he was promoted a small rank after a few turns, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant from the seventh rank of Zhongyi.

After these two major battles, the Qing Tang Army lost more than 30,000 casualties, and what was worse was that its morale was severely damaged, and in a short period of time, it was unable to attack the Tang Army.

After the previous defeat of the Qingtang army, the news was transmitted to Luo by the eagle detectives, and the Luo royal court had sent troops to Deqing, and the 80,000 army besieged it, and did not let the Qing Tang army in the city and the people in the pastoral areas outside the city get rid of a single person, and the flying eagle that reported the news was also shot down by the marksmen of the Luo army, so that the Qingtang royal court has not received the news that Deqing has been lost.

This time, the Qing Tang army was defeated by the Tang army, and the flying eagle spread the news to Luo, and the royal court immediately issued an order to send troops to the north, and Deqing's 80,000 troops marched north to recover the Zama pastoral area and Dangxiong military town.

Dangxiong Military Town is the dividing line between northern and southern Tibet, and the majestic Nianqing Tanggula Mountains pass through the north of Dangxiong Military Town, stretching to the east, with the south of the mountain being the south of the mountain and the north of the mountain being the north of the mountain. Dangxiongjun Town is located in the mountain pass of Shannan, which is the first pass from Qingtang to Fannan. The pass in the north of the mountain is equipped with Baicang Pass, which is garrisoned by the Qingtang Army. After recovering Dangxiong, the Luo army crossed the mountain pass, captured the Baicang Pass, entered the Qingtang Dynasty, and waved the army to attack Namtso.

Namtso is four hundred and fifty miles away from Nagqu, the south and east are snow-capped mountains, the north is the plateau hills, around the sacred lake of the bowl religion Namtso, around this lake is an endless alpine meadow, because the terrain is relatively low, forming a valley grassland suitable for grazing, belongs to the south of the Qiangtang grassland, is also an excellent pasture, there are eight thousand Qingtang tribesmen in all directions of the lake, there is also a Buddhist temple in the east of the lake, named Zhalun Temple. In the previous conscription, the Qingtang King Gesang Dama did not recruit the tribes of Namtso to go north to resist the Tang army, and there were Tibetan monks stationed in the Zhalun Monastery, which was used as a rear defense.

But this back road was not prevented.

The army of Latas captured Namtso.

The Bowl Sect dispatched four Cave True Realm to recover their Divine Lake, fought a great battle with the monks and masters, and finally annihilated the Zalun Monastery at the cost of two dead and two wounded. The Luo army also annihilated the Qing and Tang tribes of Namtso, killing all the men, and the women, children, and slaves became captives, and were divided by the large and small lords of the Luo army, and became their people and slaves. The monks of the Bo Sect held a grand sacrifice on the shores of Lake Namtso, with the captive Qingtang tribe men as living sacrifices, to celebrate the return of the sacred lake to the embrace of the believers. After the sacrifice, the army continued north.

And after the town of Dangxiongjun was captured by Luo Xu, the news flew to the Qingtang royal court. Gasang Dama was so attacked that he had to recruit again from among his tribes, and all men who had reached the age of fifteen were recruited into the army, and soon 40,000 cavalry were summoned to the south to block the army.

At the same time, Kelsang Dama sent envoys to the Tang army camp to temporarily suspend the war on the grounds of peace talks, hoping to free up troops to solve the Luo army and then deal with the Tang army.

Xiao Yu understood that he was confused, pretending not to know that some of the Luo army was attacking the Qingtang Dynasty, and sent Gu Di to negotiate peace with the Qingtang envoys.

The two sides talked in a separate tabernacle, and Gu Di vaguely revealed that the Hexi Army did not want too many casualties, and if the Qingtang Royal Court could capture a weighty figure from the Bojiao Sect to the Hexi Army, as the mastermind behind the assassination of the Qingchuan County Lord, who is now the Princess of Jinyang, the Hexi Army would have a reason to retreat.

As the long history of the Hexi Provincial Governor's Mansion, Liang Guogong was one of the most trusted staff, and this was revealed from Gu Di's mouth, and the Qingtang envoys felt that it was very credible. When he went back, after discussing with his subordinates, Gesang Dama felt that it could be considered, and the Tibetan monks also agreed, which could not only suspend the pressure of the Qing and Tang Dynasty from the enemy on both sides, but also that it was in their interests to attack the Bowl Sect.

But this thing can't be done right away, the bowl sect that can satisfy the Hexi army "assassination mastermind", that must at least be a person who supports the mage or above, the bowl sect has six support mages, on which are three ** masters, the head of the sect is the Dharma King, all of them are congenital masters, even if the monk sends two congenital level masters to attack together, it is difficult to capture or kill a congenital master, because if the innate master does not fight to the end, it is difficult to intercept it.

Kelsang Dama then ordered his envoys to try to buy as much time as possible in the peace talks.

Xiao Yu secretly plotted the idea of fighting with the snipe and the clam and profiting from the fisherman, but on the surface, he still had to put on a pressing attitude, and Gu Di was very aggressive in the peace talks. The Qingtang envoys tried their best to delay time, and finally the two sides reached a preliminary agreement, and the Tang army gave ten days, if the Qingtang royal court could not hand over the "mastermind" by the deadline, the Hexi army had to attack the royal court.

By the time the two sides reached an agreement, the Logos army had already captured Baicang and marched north to attack Namtso. In the battle of Zhalun Temple, the Tubo monks lost three Cave True Realm masters, including the abbot of Zhalun Temple, and seven Buddhist monks who ascended to the extreme realm.

The two armies met at the Kagawa River.

The Luo army first arrived at the Xiangchuan River, stationed on the east bank for a day, the men and horses had rested, and the Qingtang army came from afar, and the camp was not stable and was killed by the Luo army, plus the Luo army had the advantage of strength, after fighting for three hours, the Qingtang army was defeated, with nearly 10,000 casualties, and fled back to Naqu to the north.

In this battle, the master of the monk and the bowl sect fought in the Kagawa River, both sides dispatched a congenital master, because of the deliberate intention of the monk master, this grandmaster battle finally caused the collapse of the snow peak west of the Kagawa River, the newly won Luo army bore the brunt of the avalanche, and there were more than 3,000 horsemen who had no time to escape, although they were victorious, but because of the avalanche became a tragic victory.

The masters of the two sects died more than a dozen people in this battle, and the innate grandmasters of both sides were severely damaged, and it was difficult to recover without recuperating for a few years.

To Kelsang Dama's regret, the monk failed to kill the seriously injured innate master of the Bojiao - that was one of the three ** masters, and if he got his head, an agreement with the Tang army would have been reached.

At this time, there were still five days left before the deadline given by the Tang Army.

After resting for a day at the Xiangchuan River, the Luo army had already moved north, approaching Naqu City, where the Qingtang royal court was located, and camped thirty miles south of the city.

The commander of Luo was afraid that the Tang army would capture the Qingtang royal court first, and on the second day after camping, he would set up camp to attack Naqu City.

Naqu City is not as majestic as the city of Luo, nor is the city wall of the Tang Dynasty high, the outer wall is only three zhang high, but the Tubo army is not good at attacking the city, from the geographical advantage, people and people of the battle, the Qingtang army defending the city has the advantage.

The commander wanted to attack Naqu City in one go before the Tang army, so that he could increase his bargaining chips in negotiations with the Tang army, at least use the Naqu River as the boundary, and keep Naqu City and the meadow pastures south of Naqu.

Because of this plan, the commander of the law ordered that Naqu City must be captured regardless of the cost of casualties.

And Kelsang Dama also wanted to take advantage of the siege of the city by some of the Luo army, dispatch the monks to kill the important figures of the Bowl Sect, and promote the retreat of the Tang army.

Therefore, the offensive and defensive battles between the two sides were fierce from the beginning.

The soldiers on both sides were fighting fiercely, and the masters of the bowl sect and the monks were also fighting fiercely on the top of the city.

The soldiers on both sides suffered heavy losses, but after all, the Lawyers had the advantage in strength, and gradually several cities were occupied by the Laws. However, the Tibetan monks were closed because of the Jokhang Temple in Luo, moved north to Qingtang, and gathered most of the masters of the monks in Naqu City, and although there were many masters of the Bojiao this time, they did not pour out the nest, and the monks had the upper hand in the master battle, and the monks who freed up their hands helped the defenders to take back the lost city.

The monks of the bowl sect were ruthless, and often dragged the monks to die together in the same way. However, the Tibetan Buddhist monks are also crazy, thinking that after death, they enter the Western Heaven Elysium, and they are completely unafraid of the bowl monks who will die together, which makes the fight between the two monks very tragic, and often the white-clothed bowl monk and the red-clothed Buddhist monk die together.

In this kind of internal qi agitation fight, the city wall was inevitably collapsed by the palm wind and fist wind, and if it collapsed too much, it opened a big mouth, and some were less than two feet from the ground. The army took the opportunity to attack the city through these openings. When he saw that he was about to attack the city, he was repelled by the three hundred fusion realm monks organized by the monks.

This fierce battle lasted until the evening, when the army saw that the siege could not be stopped.

In this battle, both sides lost more than 10,000 soldiers, and the masters above the Ascending Peak Realm also killed more than a dozen people, although the highest-end Bowl Sect ** Master and the Monk Sect Master Fuzang did not die, but they were both seriously injured, which can be regarded as the loss of a high-end combat power each.

The Dharma King of the Bowl Sect and the abbot of the Jokhang Temple, the leader of the monks, did not make a move, because they restrained each other, and if the two of them made a move, the entire Naqu City would be destroyed. What makes both sides even more jealous is that the leader of the Middle-earth Buddhism, the abbot of Fanyin Temple, may be in the Tang Army, and if the two fight, it is likely that Fanyin Temple will take advantage of it.

On the next day, the army continued to attack the city.

Gesang Dama summoned the women of the Qingtang tribes to defend the city, which gave Naqu City an additional 50,000 defenders. Although she was a woman, her archery and sword were inferior to that of men, but the herdsmen were born with no lack of strength, and they could do it by pouring oil, rolling wood, and smashing stones under the city, and the addition of 50,000 fresh troops caused great trouble to the siege of the city. And the woman's coming to the city gave the men of the city more courage, and they were not afraid of death. Under the desperate battle in the city, the Luo army once again withdrew its troops.

On the third, fourth, and fifth days, the city of Naqu was still being held.

But on the sixth day, the Tang army began to attack the royal court.

The ten-day period agreed with the Qingtang royal court had expired, but the Qingtang failed to fulfill the agreement, so the Tang army dispatched 20,000 cavalry to attack Nagqu and engage the Qingtang army on the north bank of the Nagqu River, five miles northwest of Nagqu City.

Because the Luo army was attacking Nagqu City, Kelsang Dama could only send 10,000 cavalry to cross the river to block the Tang army. These 10,000 cavalry were the elite of the Qingtang Army, and most of the defenders fighting in the city were women, old and young. The man, coupled with the support of the monks' masters, can barely support the past.

However, the 7,000 Qing Tang Army on the north bank of the Naqu River could not support it, and it was inferior to the Tang Army in terms of strength, and it was torn apart by the Tang Army's Dayan Banner men and horses, and fell into a divided battle, and soon lost more than half of them.

When the Qing Tang Dynasty was giving birth to the pathos of fighting to the death, the Tang army suddenly withdrew its troops and retreated.

The Qing Tang Lord General was stunned and couldn't figure it out, but it was always good for the Tang army to retreat. The 4,000 Qing Tang army guarded the river for a while, and when they saw that the Tang army was not retreating, they killed back to the city of Naqu. At this time, the outer city was already in danger. The arrival of these 4,000 men and horses was just in time, relieving the pressure on the defenders and allowing the outer city to hold on again.

The commander ordered the troops to be withdrawn, and he was sure that he would be able to break through the outer city tomorrow.

But that night, he received an urgent military order from Luo and was in a dilemma.

The author has something to say: Remarks:

1. Tibetan Buddhism was originally a Nyingma sect, because wearing a red monk's hat was called a red sect, until the Tibetan Tsangprang Dharma destroyed the Buddha, for a long time, it was the only Buddhist sect in Tibet. After that, there were the White Sect, the Yellow Sect, the Flower Sect and other sects, among which the Yellow Sect (red clothes and yellow monk's hat) is the Gelug sect, that is, the ruling sect of Tibetan Buddhism today, the Pan/Zen and the Da/Lai all belong to the Gelug sect. ——Because of the overhead, this article directly uses the costumes of the Yellow Sect.

2. The local religion in Tibet is this religion, also known as Bon, or Bo religion (this religious name is used relatively rarely, so it is used in this article). The leader of this religion is called "Gusin" (equivalent to the national teacher or Dharma king - this article is directly called the Dharma King because of the overhead, which is easy to understand).

In fact, the title of Dharma King and Living Buddha was only given in the Yuan Dynasty, and at this time Tibetan Buddhism did not have the idea of reincarnated spirit children.

3. The monk ranks in the text about the bowl religion and Tibetan Buddhism are compiled on the basis of "master", "master" and "master", and do not respond to the sect~——

The Tang Army is not only cunning in digging pits, but the Qing Tang Army is more than vomiting blood when jumping into pits: how many pits does Nima have?
