Chapter 716, unexpected

A Tibetan officer saw Zampu and exclaimed in surprise: "The governor of Zampu is here!" When he shouted, the morale of the Tibetan soldiers was greatly boosted, and they immediately launched a fierce counterattack. Originally, the Tibetan army was about to collapse completely, but it stabilized its position in an instant.

The Ming mercenaries rushed into the middle of the Tubo people, picked a line of guns, and killed one piece with a knife, only to kill the corpses of the Tubo people! The morale of the Tubo people was defeated again in an instant, and this time it was irretrievable, and the Tubo soldiers threw away their armor and turned around! The Ming mercenaries chased and killed, only to kill the corpses in the streets and alleys full of blood in the ditches!

Zampu retreated to a street corner, only to hear a loud killing sound on the left. Taken aback, he hurriedly followed the prestige, only to see that the guard general Gan Luo was leading hundreds of remnants of the defeated army to retreat, and when he saw Zampu, his face was happy, and then he hurriedly said: "Governor, let's go!" We can't resist anymore! Zampu frowned and said, "If we lose some Luo, our Tubo will be finished!" Gan Luo said: "There is no way! The Ming people entered from the east, south, and north, and those Ming people were extremely brave, even more terrible than tigers and wolves! We tried our best, but we couldn't resist it! ”

Zan Pu frowned and said, "How could the Great Ming people enter the city in an instant? Ganluo said: "They have been lurking in the city for a long time. Not long ago, those people raided the city gate, and we were caught off guard by them to capture the city gate, and then the Ming army came in! ...... "At this moment, there was chaos not far away, part of the army was defeated and fled, and the Ming army that looked like Jianghu people was viciously chasing and killing, and the defeated soldiers were cut down to the ground like slaughtering chickens and dogs! Ganluo was taken aback and said hurriedly; "Let's go!" Immediately ignoring Zampu, he led the remnants of his army to flee towards the west gate. Seeing that the general trend was gone, Zampu had no choice but to flee for his life.

The Tibetan nobles and remnants of the defeated generals and the slaves of the major families scrambled to escape from the west gate, and in a panic, many fell to the ground and were trampled to death by their own people. When the Ming army took control of the West City Gate, the corpses inside and outside the West City Gate were stacked on top of each other, and the scene was even more tragic than the scene on the attack route of the Ming Army!

Zhao Xiong rode his horse and rushed to Yan Ping, and said excitedly: "Brother Yan, we have captured Luoqi City!" ”

Although Yan Ping has always been calm, he is also extremely excited at this moment, and said to Zhao Xiong: "Brother Zhao, immediately send someone to General Yang Gui and report to Your Majesty!" Zhao Xiong promised, turned his horse and ran down.

A dart master under Yan Ping led a group of people over. Yan Ping looked at the group of people and recognized that one of them was one of Hua Xu's leaders, so he immediately turned over and dismounted, smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Brother Li, thanks to you, otherwise it would not be so easy to break through this city!" ”

Hua Xu and everyone dismounted, and the leader stepped aside, and a tall young woman in a black power suit and a black gauze stepped forward. Yan Ping couldn't help but glance at her, although he couldn't see her true face of Lushan, but just a pair of eyes made him feel that his heart was shaken and he was overwhelmed. Just when he was in a daze, he heard that Li Zuo leader say: "This is our Huaxu's big pavilion leader, and also His Majesty's concubine, Yan Niangniang!" ”

Yan Ping suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly lowered his head and bowed: "The grass people meet Niangniang!" I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: No wonder the legend Yan Niangniang is beautiful and charming, I haven't seen her true face of Lushan and I can't help myself, I really don't know how beautiful her true face will be!?

Just when Yan Ping was thinking wildly, he only heard a slightly hoarse and very charming voice say: "Master Yan doesn't need to be polite!" Yan Ping was confused for a while, came back to his senses, and hurriedly agreed. He didn't dare to raise his head to look at Yan Ji, for fear that if he lost his temper, he would be killed.

Yan Ji said: "Your performance is very good! I think Your Majesty will be very satisfied! Yan Ping couldn't help but be very happy.

Yan Ji said: "Your task now is to garrison Luo and wait for General Yang Gui's order. Be careful! We had a huge advantage, but we didn't win! Yan Ping bowed and promised. Yan Ji turned around and returned to the side of the mount, turned over and got on the horse, and everyone in Huaxu also turned over on the horse. Seeing this, Yan Ping asked in surprise, "Niangniang is leaving?" Yan Ji said: "I still have some things to do." You remember what I command. Yan Ping bowed and promised. Yan Jile turned his horse's head and led Hua Xu's subordinates to gallop away.

"Bureau master, what is she going to do?" A young dart master asked curiously. Yan Ping said: "We shouldn't inquire about this kind of thing!" Then he turned around and said to the people: "As Niang Niang said, the city of Luo has been taken, but it is too early to say that it will be victorious. We must defend carefully and wait for General Yang Gui's orders. Everyone agreed together, and a young dart master smiled: "I used to think how powerful the Tubo people were, but they turned out to be so vulnerable!" Even if they do everything they can to take over, we can defeat them! Everyone agreed, and another dart master smiled: "I think it's the Tubo people and the Tianzhu people, and they are not our opponents." Yan Ping said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, don't be careless!" And they all agreed, and went down.

Songhe is leading the main force of Tubo and the Tianzhu people to attack Pibo City, Songhe deliberately bluffed, but the Tianzhu people were worried that Songhe would break through Pibo first, so they attacked with all their might, the offensive was very fierce, continuous from morning to night, and the city wall was already full of corpses!

On this day, the armies of both sides continued to storm the city of Pibo. Songhe bluffed as always, while the Tianzhu people in the south attacked desperately in wave after wave, the drums of war beating with a terrifying sound, and the roar was like the tide of the sea.

Songhe looked at the south and said with a smile: "Tianzhu people are really desperate!" These days, the loss of Tianzhu people is not small, right? ”

Samba, the general next to him, said with a smile: "These days, not only the Tianzhu people have suffered heavy losses, but the rebels in the city are also suffering heavy casualties!" I estimate that within three days, either the Tianzhu people finally broke through Pibo, or the Tianzhu people were exhausted and had to suspend the attack! Songhyuk smiled: "Then we will wait for three more days!" Haha, this feeling of watching a play is really good! ”

Dada...... The sound of horses' hooves came from behind him. Songhe and the others followed the prestige, and Samba said: "It must be Your Majesty's messenger!" Song He smiled: "Your Majesty must be a little impatient to wait!" ”

After a while, the messenger rushed to Songhe's face, reined in his horse suddenly, and said urgently: "General, it's not good, let's talk, let's talk," and when he said this, the messenger couldn't lift it in one breath, and he couldn't say the rest of the words. Seeing that he said such a half-cut sentence in such a panic, Song Hyuk couldn't help but feel bad in his heart, and said urgently: "What's wrong?" The messenger had already breathed his breath and said urgently: "The city of Luo has been captured by the Ming army!" Your Majesty and the ministers have all fled from the law! ”

When Song Hyuk and the others suddenly heard this, they only felt a thunderbolt from the sky, and they were dizzy with shock, and they were speechless for a long time. Songhyuk finally came to his senses and exclaimed angrily, "How is this possible? Didn't Da Ming accept our explanation and apology? From the Ming Dynasty to Luo, the mountains and rivers are steep, and the passes are heavy, even if the Ming army really comes to attack, how can it be so sudden to capture Luo? The surrounding generals were also unable to accept it, and many people shouted anxiously.

The messenger said urgently: "How dare the subordinate lie about the military situation? The lower officials finally escaped from Luo, and the Ming army's invasion of Luo was all seen and experienced by the lower officials, how could it be fake! Then he took out a golden ring, held it high, and said, "This is Your Majesty's imperial ring!" ”

Song He took a closer look, and saw that it was indeed the ring that he usually wore on the emperor's hand, and he was shocked, and said secretly: "Could it be that Luo Qi has really been captured by the Ming Army!?" At the thought of this, I only felt overwhelmed and afraid.

I only heard the messenger say: "Your Majesty orders the general to stop attacking Pibo, and immediately lead the army to retreat to Kuba." ”

Songhyuk was flustered and nodded involuntarily.

The messenger said: "General, Your Majesty has also ordered me to send an envoy to persuade Lord Songgan to ask the general to bring news to the city for me!" Songhe frowned and said, "Your Majesty is going to reconcile with Songgan?" The messenger sighed and said, "Now that the Ming Dynasty has been driven straight in, and even some of them have been lost, Your Majesty thinks that if you can convince Lord Songgan, it will always be a great help!" Now that the country is in danger, Lord Songgan will definitely put aside his personal grievances and focus on the overall situation! Songhe nodded and said, "I'll send someone to deliver the news to Songgan immediately." The messenger bowed and said, "There is General Lao." ”

Soon after, the emperor's envoy appeared in front of Songgan, bowed down and said, "I've seen Lord Songgan!" ”

Song Gan was quite surprised to see that the other party's attitude was very respectful, smiled coldly, and said, "Did the emperor send you to persuade you to surrender?" He's in vain! ”

"My lord doesn't know, the Ming army suddenly appeared, Luo Qi has fallen, Your Majesty and all the ministers have fled west!"

Songgan and the others didn't know the news yet, and when they heard it suddenly, they were all stunned, and then their faces changed greatly, and there was an uproar at the scene. Songgan suddenly got up, walked up to the envoy, and asked, "What did you say?" The envoy repeated again, and said: "Now that we in Tibet have reached a critical juncture, please put the overall situation first, put aside personal grievances, and join hands with Your Majesty to fight against foreign humiliation!" ”

The fierce general Bian Ba said angrily: "I wanted to kill us all before, but now I am saying this!" There are no doors! The generals echoed and scolded the court and the emperor, all of them looked angry, as if they all thought that it was all the fault of the court and the emperor that the situation had become what it is now. When he saw the anger of the crowd, he couldn't help but feel terrified.

Songgan raised his right hand, and the generals stopped shouting, but they still glared angrily. Songgan glanced at the envoy and asked, "How do I know that what you said is true, and not a conspiracy?" "Songgan couldn't believe that the Ming army would suddenly break through Luo, he only felt that from Daming to Luo, the mountains and rivers were steep, and the passes were heavy, how could Daming be so unaware of the long drive for thousands of miles to capture the capital Luojia in one fell swoop?! Songgan felt that it was very likely that the emperor was playing a conspiracy to deceive himself, trying to lure himself out of the game and then annihilate him in one fell swoop.

Just as the envoy was about to explain, an officer rushed in and reported to Songganyu: "My lord, the army from the north has withdrawn!" ”

Song Gan frowned, and said secretly: Could it be that what he said is true?

I only heard the envoy say: "Your Majesty has ordered General Songhe to lead the army to retreat west!" If you still don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate and see if what the lower official said is true or false! ”

Songgan had already believed seven or eight points, and raised his voice: "Someone! The two soldiers guarding the door immediately entered. Songgan pointed to the envoy and said, "Take him to the inn to rest, so that he can be entertained." When the envoy knew that Songgan was going to consult with his cronies, he said no more, bowed to Songgan, and went down.

As soon as the envoy left, Bian Ba couldn't help but say, "My lord, is what he said true?" The other generals also had this question.

Songgan frowned and said, "I'm afraid that what he said is true!" ”

Qu Cuo said in disbelief: "This is unbelievable!" Could it be that the Ming army is not an immortal, how can it drive thousands of miles silently, and capture Luo in one fell swoop! How exactly do they do it? ”

Qu Zha frowned and said, "Do you remember the black-clothed people you met when the Lord and the Great General escaped from Luo? Everyone looked at each other and asked in confusion, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

Qu Zha said: "We have been speculating about the identities of those men in black, and we have not been conclusive. Now it seems that those men in black may have been sent by the Ming Dynasty! Qu Zha's words can be said to wake up the dreamer, Song Gan's heart was shocked, and he thought about the things after he came back from the envoy to Daming, and felt more and more that it was Daming who spread rumors behind his back and instigated turmoil. It must have been at that time that the Ming Dynasty used the mission to come to Tibet to infiltrate the elite combat forces into Tibet, and then suddenly attacked recently, assisting the Ming army to seize the pass and seize the city, so the Ming army would drive straight into it like a ghost, and finally took Luo some in one move. Thinking about it like this, I only feel that many problems that I have been unable to figure out can be explained, and I can't help but feel extremely afraid of the depth of Daming's intentions!

Song Gan couldn't help but mutter: "The Ming people are really treacherous! They didn't want to accept our surrender in the first place, everything was a conspiracy! Most of the generals didn't understand what Songgan meant, but Songgan didn't continue to explain.

Qu Cuo asked Songgan, "My lord, what should we do now?" Do you accept Your Majesty's call to unite with the imperial court to fight against foreign aggression? ”

Songgan frowned tightly and did not speak.

Qu Zha said to Qu Cuo: "General, the imperial court treats us like this, do we still have to be loyal to them?" Bian Ba and several other generals echoed, looking very hostile to the court, although the others did not speak, but it could be seen that they were not so willing to unite with the court.

Qu Cuo glanced at Qu Zha, frowned, and said, "In this situation, is there any other way to go?" ”

Qu Zha said: "Yes! Everyone knows how powerful Da Ming is. At the beginning, the Liao State was so strong and invincible, and almost the entire Central Plains was occupied by it, but the Ming Dynasty fought the Central Plains bloodily and defeated the Liao State in a row, not only recaptured the entire Central Plains, but also captured the Datong region; After that, the Ming soldiers became more and more sharp, iron hooves everywhere, no one was invincible, first defeated the Western Xia, and then destroyed the Song Kingdom in the south, and recently destroyed Dali in one fell swoop, and captured Bagan! Now that the Ming army has captured some of the Luo, we have the advantage of fighting against it, and the Ming Dynasty already has it! Do you think we can turn defeat into victory? Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't seem to have the slightest confidence in defeating the Ming Dynasty and retaking Luo.

Qu Zha said to Song Gan: "My lord, if we unite with the imperial court, it is needless to say that our efforts will be in vain, and we will only end up with a ruined family!" ”

Song Gan's heart was shocked, and he frowned: "This matter, I want to think about it, think about it!" At this moment, the horn of the alarm suddenly sounded, and everyone was startled. Qu Cuo frowned and said, "It's Tianzhu people!" Then he ran out of the hall.

Everyone also rushed out of the hall, only to see the surging tide of soldiers on the southern land, and the Tianzhu army was coming. The Tianzhu people launched another onslaught, and it is no longer known that it is the first attack of the Tianzhu people.

The Tianzhu army attacked the city fiercely, attacking wave after wave, as if it was about to drown the city at any time. When General Tianzhu received the scout's report that Songhe's army had withdrawn north, he was a little surprised, but he didn't care, but was very happy, glad that no one had come to compete with him.

On this side, Songgan is still fighting a bloody battle with the Tianzhu people, and on the other side, Songhe is leading more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to retreat. On the way, he joined the remnants of the defeated generals and some nobles who had escaped from the law, and learned from them that the Ming army that had captured the law was only about 20,000 people. Sonhy could not help but feel that the enemy's large forces had not yet come up, and that this was a good opportunity to recapture Logo. When he ordered the army to turn, it turned to the northeast.

Yan Ping received an urgent report, and hurriedly felt on the city wall, only to see that the Tubo army was overwhelmingly coming, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Zhao Xiong on the side said: "The scouts have found information, it is Songhe's soldiers and horses, and they have withdrawn from Pibo!" ”

Yan Ping hurriedly said: "Immediately send the order, everyone climb the city wall and prepare for battle." Zhao Xiong clenched his fists and promised, and ran down. All of a sudden, the entire city became chaotic, and the men and horses belonging to different dart bureaus rushed towards the city. At this time, the difference between these mercenaries and regular troops was seen, if it was the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, it would never be so chaotic. In terms of discipline, these mercenaries are only afraid that they are far inferior to the army of the army.

Songhe led a large army to the bottom of the city, and saw that the city was in chaos, completely different from the scene he had imagined, and he was only surprised. And he also found that the army at the head of the city, dressed in disarray, weapons varied, except for a Ming banner there is no other flag, where is the invincible Ming army, it is clearly a temporary patchwork of the people's army. Songhe was suspicious, I don't know why he saw such an army? Is this a trick played by the enemy? It's not like that! Songhyuk couldn't think of a reason, so he called the remnants of the defeated army who met halfway, pointed to the city and asked, "Is this the army that captured the Luo?" ”

An officer glanced at the people at the head of the city, his eyes showed fear, and nodded, "That's it, it's them!" ”

Surprised, Songhe asked, "Are you sure?" Is there such an army, and there is no other army? The officer said, "It's them, there is no other army!" The general must not underestimate the enemy, these people are extremely brave and terrifying! We fought back, but it didn't work, and we were quickly defeated by them! Many died, many were captured, and those of us who were able to escape were fateful! ”

Songhe smiled coldly, didn't take the officer's words to heart, and said mockingly: "You were attacked by them, don't blow them!" Then he waved his hand, "Stand down!" The people bowed and retreated.

Songhe looked at the city walls, completely relieved. He was originally worried about what kind of conspiracy the other party was playing, but now he knew that it was such an army that attacked Luo, and he felt that his own army would definitely be able to go down in one go.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
