A Tibetan officer saw Zampu and shouted in surprise: "The Commander-in-Chief Zampu is here!" As soon as he shouted, the morale of the Tibetan soldiers was greatly boosted, and they immediately launched a fierce counterattack. Originally, the Tubo army was about to collapse completely, but in an instant it stabilized its position.
The mercenaries of the Ming Dynasty rushed into the middle of the Tubo people, picked up their spears, and killed them all with swords. They only killed the Tubo people's corpses and flew away with blood! The morale of the Tubo people was shattered again in an instant. This time it was irreversible. The Tubo soldiers abandoned their helmets and turned around and ran away! The mercenaries of the Ming Dynasty chased and killed him, only to kill him until corpses filled the streets and ditches were filled with blood!
Zamp retreated to a street intersection and heard a huge killing sound coming from the left. Surprised, he hurriedly followed the sound and saw that the guard general Gan Luo was leading hundreds of defeated soldiers to retreat. When he saw Zanpu, his face was filled with joy, and then he said in a hurry: "Grand Governor, let's go quickly! Let's go!" We can't resist anymore!" Zan Pu frowned and said: "If we lose our logic, we will be completely destroyed in Tubo!" Gan Luo said: "There is no other way! The Ming people are attacking from the east, south and north. Humans are extremely brave and are simply more terrifying than tigers and wolves! Even though we tried our best, we couldn’t resist it at all!”
Zan Pu frowned and said, "How could the Ming people rush into the city in an instant?" Gan Luo said, "They have people lurking in the city for a long time. Those people raided the city gate not long ago, and we were caught off guard and they captured the city gate. , and then the Ming army came in!..." At this moment, there was chaos not far away, and part of the army fled in defeat, while the Ming army who looked like Jianghu people were chasing and killing them ferociously, and the fleeing soldiers were like butchers. He was chopped down to the ground like a chicken to a dog! Gan Luo was startled and said urgently: "Go quickly!" Then he ignored Zamp and led the remaining soldiers under his command to escape towards the west gate. Seeing that the situation was over, Zamp had no choice but to flee for his life.
The Tubo nobles, defeated generals, and slaves from various major families scrambled to escape from the west gate. In 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, there were layers of corpses inside and outside the West City Gate. The scene was even more tragic than the scene along the Ming Army's attack route!
Zhao Xiong galloped to Yan Ping and said excitedly: "Brother Yan, we have captured Luoxue City!"
Although Yan Ping had always been calm, he was extremely excited at the moment and said to Zhao Xiong: "Brother Zhao, immediately send someone to General Yang Gui to report the news to His Majesty!" Zhao Xiong made a promise, turned his horse and ran down.
One of Yan Ping's bodyguards led a group of people over. Yan Ping looked at the group of people and recognized that one of them was one of Huaxu's subordinates. He immediately got off his horse, smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Brother Li, thanks to you, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to conquer this city! "
Everyone in Huaxu dismounted one after another, and the leader stepped aside, and a tall young woman wearing black clothing and covered with a black veil stepped forward. Yan Ping couldn't help but glance at her. Although he couldn't see her true face in Lushan, just one pair of eyes made him feel shaken and fascinated. Just when he was in a daze, he heard Li Zuoling say: "This is our Grand Pavilion Leader of Huaxu and your Majesty's concubine, Empress Yan!"
Yan Ping suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Common people pay homage to the empress!" He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: No wonder the legend says that empress Yan is extremely beautiful and charming. I was already intoxicated even before I saw her true face in Lushan. , I really don’t know how beautiful her true appearance will be! ?
Just when Yan Ping was thinking wildly, he heard a slightly hoarse and very charming voice saying: "Master Yan, there is no need to be polite!" Yan Ping was confused for a while, came to his senses, and quickly agreed. He didn't dare to raise his head to look at Yan Ji, fearing that he would be killed if he lost his composure.
Yan Ji said: "Your performance is very good! I think His Majesty will be very satisfied!" Yan Ping couldn't help but be very happy.
Yan Ji said: "Your task now is to garrison Luozei and wait for General Yang Gui's order. Be careful! Although we have gained a huge advantage, we have not won the final victory!" Yan Ping bowed and agreed. Yan Ji turned back to her mount and got on her horse. Everyone in Huaxu also got on their horses. When Yan Ping saw this, he asked in surprise: "Is the empress going to leave?" Yan Ji said: "I still have some things to do. Please remember my instructions." Yan Ping bowed and agreed. Yan Jile turned his horse's head and galloped away with Hua Xu's subordinates.
"Commissioner, what is my wife going to do?" a young escort asked curiously. Yan Ping said: "We shouldn't inquire about this kind of thing!" Then he turned around and said to everyone: "As the empress said, Luoche City has been captured, but it is too early to say that we have won a complete victory. We must You have to be careful to defend yourself and wait for General Yang Gui's order." Everyone agreed together, and a young escort laughed and said: "I used to think that the Tubo people were so powerful, but they turned out to be so vulnerable! Even if they try their best to seize control, we We can also defeat them!" Everyone agreed, and another bodyguard smiled and said: "I think even the Tubo people and the Tianzhu people are no match for us." Yan Ping said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, don't be careless. !" Everyone agreed and went down.
Songhe was leading the main force of Tibet 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 strength. The offensive was very fierce, continuous from morning to night, and the city walls There are mountains of corpses all over the place!
On this day, the armies of both sides continued to attack Pibo City. Songhe was bluffing as always, while the Tianzhu people from the south attacked desperately one after another. The war drums were beating loudly, and the roars were like the ocean tide.
Song He looked at the south and laughed: "The people of Tianzhu are really desperate! In these days, the losses of the people of Tianzhu are not small, right?"
Samba, the general next to him, laughed and said: "Not only have the Tianzhu people suffered heavy losses in the past few days, but the rebels in the city have also suffered heavy casualties! I estimate that within three days, either the Tianzhu people finally broke through Pibo, or the Tianzhu people were exhausted. At the end of the day, we have to suspend the attack!" Song He laughed and said: "Then we will wait for another three days! Haha, it feels really good to watch a show!"
Click, click, click… The sound of rapid horse hooves came from behind. Song He and others followed the call, and Samba said: "It must be His Majesty's messenger!" Song He smiled and said: "Your Majesty must be a little impatient with waiting!"
After a while, the messenger rushed to Song He, reined in his horse suddenly, and said urgently: "General, it's not good, please be more careful, be more logical." At this point, the messenger could not lift it up in one breath, and the next words I couldn't say it anymore. Seeing him speaking in such a panic, Songhe couldn't help but feel bad in his heart, and said anxiously: "What's wrong with Luoche?" The messenger had already calmed down and said anxiously: "Luoche City It has been captured by the Ming army! Your Majesty and the ministers have all fled Luoche!"
When Song He and others suddenly heard this, they felt like a thunderbolt from the blue. They were so shocked that they felt dizzy and were speechless for a long time. Songhe finally came to his senses and shouted angrily: "How is this possible? Didn't the Ming Dynasty accept our explanation and apology? From the Ming Dynasty to Luozhe, the mountains and rivers are steep and there are many passes. The Ming army is really coming. , how could it be possible to capture Luosu so suddenly?" The surrounding generals could not accept it, and many of them shouted anxiously.
The messenger said anxiously: "How dare I lie about the military situation? I managed to escape from Luoche with great difficulty. I saw it with my own eyes when the Ming army invaded Luoche. I experienced it personally. How can it be false!" Then he took out a golden piece. He raised his ring high and said, "This is your Majesty's royal ring!"
Songhe took a closer look and saw that it was indeed the ring that was usually worn on the emperor's hand. He was shocked and thought to himself: "Could it be that Luoche has really been captured by the Ming army!" ? 'As soon as I thought about it, I just felt overwhelmed and frightened.
Just listen to the messenger saying: "Your Majesty ordered the general to stop attacking Pibo and immediately lead the army to retreat to Kumba."
Songhe was flustered and nodded involuntarily.
The messenger said: "General, your Majesty also ordered me to go to Pibo as an envoy to lobby Songqian. Please ask the general to convey the news to the city for me!" Songhe frowned and said: "Your Majesty is going to reconcile with Songqian?" The messenger sighed. He took a breath and said: "Now that the Ming Dynasty has marched forward, even the logic has been lost. Your Majesty believes that if you can persuade Master Songqian, it will always be a great help! Now that the country is in danger, Master Songqian will definitely put aside his personal grudges and regard the overall situation as the Heavy!" Song He nodded and said: "I will immediately send someone to convey the news to Song Qian." The messenger bowed and said: "The general is here to help."
Soon after, the emperor's envoy appeared in front of Song Qian, bowed and said: "I have met Lord Song Qian!"
Song Qian was quite surprised to see that the other party's attitude was very respectful. He smiled coldly and said, "Did the emperor send you to persuade him to surrender? His efforts were in vain!"
"My lord, you don't know. The Ming army suddenly appeared. Luoche has fallen. Your Majesty and all the ministers have fled to the west!"
Song Qian and others didn't know the news yet, but when they heard it suddenly, they were all stunned. Then their expressions changed drastically, and the scene broke out into an uproar. The pine trunk suddenly rose, and he walked quickly to the envoy and asked: "What did you say?" The envoy repeated it again, saying: "Now that we in Tubo have reached a critical moment, please put the overall situation first, put aside your personal grudges, and work with us. Your Majesty, join hands to fight against foreign humiliation!"
The fierce general Bian Ba said angrily: "I wanted to drive us all out before, but now I am saying this! There is no way!" The generals agreed one after another, scolding the court and the emperor, and they all looked very angry, as if they thought that the time was right. It's all the fault of the court and the emperor that the situation has turned into what it is now. When I came to see the angry crowd, I couldn't help but feel frightened.
Songgan raised his right hand, and the generals stopped shouting and cursing, but they still glared at the commander. Song Qian glanced at the envoy and asked, "How do I know what you said is true and not a conspiracy?" Song Qian couldn't believe that the Ming army would suddenly break through Luosu. The mountains and rivers are steep and there are many passes. How could the Ming Dynasty drive thousands of miles to seize the capital Luoche in one fell swoop? ! Song Qian felt that Lai Shi's words were most likely the emperor's conspiracy to deceive him, hoping to lure him out of Pibo and then annihilate him in one fell swoop.
Just as the envoy was about to explain, an officer rushed in and reported to Songgan: "Sir, the army in the north has broken camp and withdrawn!"
Song Qian frowned and thought to himself: Is everything he said true?
I only heard the envoy say: "Your Majesty has ordered General Songhe to lead his army to withdraw to the west! If you still don't believe it, you can send someone to Luoche to investigate and see if what the officer said is true or false!"
Song Qian was already convinced and shouted: "Here comes someone!" The two soldiers guarding the door immediately entered. Song Qian pointed to the envoy and said, "Take him to the guest house to rest so that he can be entertained." The envoy knew that Song Qian wanted to discuss with his cronies, so he said no more, bowed to Song Qian and went down.
As soon as the envoy left, Bianba couldn't help but said: "Sir, is what he said true?" Other generals also had this question.
Songgan frowned and said, "I'm afraid what he said is true!"
Qucuo said in disbelief: "This is unbelievable! Could it be that the Ming army was an immortal? Why did they march thousands of miles without a sound and seize Luochang in one fell swoop! How on earth did they do it?"
Qu Zha frowned and said, "Do you still remember the men in black that the Lord and the General met when they escaped from Luozhang?" Everyone looked at each other, and Song Qian asked in confusion: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Qu Zha said: "We have been guessing about the identity of those men in black, but there has never been a conclusion. Now it seems that those men in black may be sent by the Ming Dynasty!" Qu Zha's words can be said to wake up the dreamer. , Song Qian was startled, and thought about what happened after he returned from his mission to the Ming Dynasty from beginning to end. He felt more and more that it was the Ming Dynasty who was spreading rumors and inciting unrest behind his back. It must have been at that time that when the Ming Dynasty used the envoy to come to Tubo, it infiltrated its elite combat forces into Tubo, and then suddenly launched an attack recently to assist the Ming army in seizing the passes and seizing the city. That's why the Ming army marched in like ghosts, and finally captured the city in one fell swoop. Be more logical. Thinking about it this way, I just feel that many of the problems that I have been unable to figure out can be explained. I can't help but feel extremely frightened at the depth of Ming's intentions!
Song Qian could not help but murmured: "The Ming people are so treacherous! They had no intention of accepting our surrender from the beginning, everything was a conspiracy!" Most of the generals did not understand what Song Qian meant, but Song Qian No further explanation was given.
Qucuo asked Songgan, "Sir, what should we do now? Should we accept your Majesty's call to unite with the imperial court to fight against foreign aggression?"
Songgan frowned and said nothing.
Quza said to Qucuo: "General, the imperial court has treated us like this, do we still need to be loyal to them?" Bianba and other generals echoed, looking very hostile to the imperial court. Although the others did not speak, they could see that After coming out, he was not so willing to join forces with the imperial 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 the Ming Dynasty is. At the beginning, the Liao Kingdom was so powerful that almost the entire Central Plains was occupied by it. However, the Ming Dynasty fought bloody battles in the Central Plains and defeated the Liao Kingdom in a row. Not only did it regain the entire Central Plains, They also captured the Datong area; after that, the Ming army became more and more sharp, and no one could defeat it. It first destroyed Xixia, then the Song Dynasty in the south, and recently it destroyed Dali in one fell swoop and captured Bagan! Now the Ming Dynasty The army has already captured Luocheng, and Ming Dynasty already has the geographical advantage for us to fight! Do you think we can turn defeat into victory?" Everyone looked at each other, and no one seemed to have the slightest confidence in defeating Ming Dynasty and regaining Luocheng.
Qu Zha said to Songgan: "Sir, if we unite with the imperial court, it goes without saying that our efforts will be in vain. In the end, we will only end up with a family ruined!"
Song Qian was shocked and frowned: "I want to think about this matter, think about it!" At this moment, the sound of the warning horn suddenly sounded, and everyone was shocked. Qucuo frowned and said, "He's from Tianzhu!" Then he ran out of the hall.
Everyone also ran out of the hall and saw a surge of troops on the southern land, and the Tianzhu army was coming. The Tianzhu people once again launched a fierce attack. This was the first time that the Tianzhu people attacked.
The Tianzhu army attacked the city fiercely, with wave after wave of attacks, as if Pibo City was about to be submerged at any time. General Tianzhu received a report from the scouts and learned that Songhe's army had withdrawn north. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't care. Instead, he was very happy. He was happy that no one came to compete with him for a piece of land.
Here Song Qian is still fighting a bloody battle with the Tianzhu people, and on the other side Song He is leading hundreds of thousands of troops to retreat. On the way, they met with the defeated generals and some nobles who had escaped from Luoche. From their mouths, they learned that the Ming army that captured Luoche only had 20,000 people. Songhe couldn't help but feel that the enemy's large forces had not yet come up, and this was a great opportunity to recapture Luoshu. Immediately, he ordered the army to turn and head northeast.
Yanping received the urgent report and hurriedly felt the city wall, only to see the Tibetan army coming overwhelmingly, and he couldn't help being shocked. Zhao Xiong on the side said: "The scouts found out that they are Songhe's soldiers and horses. They have withdrawn from Pibo!"
Yan Ping said urgently: "Send the order immediately, everyone climbs the city wall and prepares to fight." Zhao Xiong clasped his fists in agreement and ran down. Suddenly, the entire Luoxue City became chaotic, and people belonging to different escort bureaus rushed towards the city. At this time, we can see the difference between these mercenaries and regular troops. If it were the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, there would never be such chaos. In terms of discipline, these mercenaries are probably far inferior to the military government troops.
Song He led his army to approach Bo City, and was greatly surprised when he saw the chaos on top of the city. It was completely different from what he had imagined. Moreover, he also found that the troops on the city were dressed in messy clothes and had various weapons. There were no other flags except a big Ming flag. This was not the invincible Ming army. It was clearly a temporary civilian army. Songhe was full of suspicion, wondering why he saw such an army? Is this a trick played by the enemy? It doesn’t look like it! Songhe couldn't think of a reason, so he called the remaining defeated generals who had gathered on the way, pointed at the top of the city and asked: "Is it this kind of army that captured Luoche?"
An officer glanced at the people on the top of the city, with fear in his eyes, and nodded, "Yes, it's them!"
Songhe was greatly surprised and asked: "Are you sure? This is the army, there is no other army?" The officer said: "It is them, there is no other army! General, please do not underestimate the enemy. These people are extremely brave and very brave." Terrible! We also fought back, but it was of no use. We were quickly defeated by them! Many people died and many were captured. Those of us who can escape are lucky!"
Songhe smiled coldly, not taking the officer's words to heart at all, and said sarcastically: "You were attacked by them sneakily, don't brag about them!" Then he waved his hand, "Back off!" Everyone bowed and retreated. .
Songhe looked at the city wall and was completely relieved. He was originally worried about what kind of conspiracy the other side was playing, but now he knew that this was the army that would attack, and he felt that his own army would be able to attack them in one fell swoop.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
