As soon as he thought of this, he no longer planned to waste time, and immediately issued an order for the army to attack the city.
The Tibetan trumpets sounded loudly. The Tubo soldiers shouted in unison, and their momentum was quite astonishing. The mercenaries on the top of the city faced such a large army for the first time, and they couldn't help but be a little shocked when they saw such a majestic momentum.
After three rounds of trumpets, 10,000 Tibetan soldiers rushed out of the formation and rushed towards the city wall. Since the Tubo people launched the attack in a hurry and were not fully prepared, they only had simple ladders and no other engineering equipment.
Entering the range of the crossbow, arrows were shot down sparsely from the city wall. It was impossible to stop the Tibetan army's offensive. Songhe saw it from a distance and couldn't help laughing. He was a little worried at first, but now he was completely relieved when he saw that the opponent's archery skills were so bad.
The Tubo soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city wall, set up a ladder, and then rushed towards the city wall along the ladder. The rolling stones and wood rolled down with a roar, and the Tubo people were flying with blood and flesh. However, due to problems with the coordination of the mercenaries, there were many gaps in the defense. In an instant, the Tubo soldiers rushed to the top of the city.
When Songhe saw his soldiers rushing to the city in one fell swoop, he couldn't help but get excited and cheered loudly!
The Tubo soldiers rushed to the top of the city and charged into the mercenaries with their scimitars. The mercenaries immediately attacked, with swords, spears, axes and axes flying, and they turned out to be unexpectedly ferocious. The Tibetan soldiers who rushed to the top of the city were flying with blood and flesh, and they felt one wave after another coming at them ferociously, and they felt that they could not withstand it in an instant. Song He saw from a distance that his own soldiers were cut open by the opponent's axe, their heads were chopped off by the opponent's long knife, and an officer was lifted high by a majestic man and thrown down the city wall alive! Songhe was shocked. He never expected to see such a scene!
The Tubo soldiers and horses attacked for a long time, but not only failed to open a single gap, but suffered heavy casualties. However, the Han people, dressed in various clothes and wielding a mess of weapons, became more and more courageous as they fought, like tigers and wolves, and extremely ferocious. The scene at the scene was like countless sheep trying to capture the city guarded by a group of tigers and wolves. The Tibetan army kept rushing forward, and they were simply seeking death. Songhe's brows were furrowed tightly, and his eyes were full of shock.
The fierce battle lasted for a long time. The city gate suddenly opened, and a majestic man carrying a huge ax was seen, leading hundreds of sturdy Han people to charge out. The Tubo soldiers were all horrified. Hundreds of them were seen rushing into the middle of our own soldiers who were attacking the city, slashing with swords and axes, and moving forward inexorably. Our own soldiers were frightened, and the entire army began to waver. In the blink of an eye, the attacking troops were completely defeated! The hundreds of people who were eager to kill drove the defeated troops and rushed into the middle of the Tibetan army. They were in full swing and slaughtered ferociously! More than 100,000 Tibetan troops were unable to resist. They were killed until their corpses were covered in blood. They were terrified and the entire army was shaken!
Seeing the rare opportunity, Yan Ping immediately led all the mercenaries in the city to attack fiercely. The Tubo people could not resist, and they immediately retreated, leaving the scene in chaos. The mercenaries chased him for more than ten miles, killing him until corpses lay all over the grassland, stained with blood. Seeing his own victory and the enemy's defeat, Yanping felt that it was the right time to completely defeat the Tibetan army in one fell swoop, so he left only two thousand men to defend the city while he led the main force to continue the pursuit.
After Songhe was defeated like this, he still dared to think more logically and led the defeated army to retreat to the west in a hurry.
A few days later, Songhe led the defeated army to retreat to the township of Dabanqin Temple. Suddenly the news from the scout came from behind, saying that the Ming army was catching up. Everyone was extremely panicked. However, Songhe was a famous Tubo general after all, so he quickly calmed down and thought: "The enemy has just won a big victory, so they must be underestimating the enemy! We just took advantage of this to turn defeat into victory!" At this point, Yan Nian immediately made arrangements and went to the countryside. An ambush was set up around Dabanqin Temple, waiting for the Ming army to arrive.
Soon, the Ming army arrived as expected, but did not find the ambush, and continued to pursue forward vigorously. At this moment, the surrounding cannons suddenly exploded, and there was a killing sound. Countless Tibetan troops poured out from all directions and launched a fierce attack on the mercenaries. The mercenaries never expected to be ambushed by the enemy. They were caught off guard and were thrown into chaos by the Tibetan army. Seeing that victory was imminent, the Tubo army attacked with all their strength. Swords and swords danced wildly on the battlefield, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. Seeing that the situation was critical, Yan Ping immediately led his mercenaries to break out. Everyone moved forward desperately, rushing desperately, trying to open a gap. The Tubo army noticed their intention and bravely blocked it! The battle was extremely fierce, with swords and guns flying, roars like thunder, and men and horses on both sides constantly falling into a pool of blood!
The mercenaries finally fought their way to a small hill. The Tubo army took advantage of the situation and attacked fiercely. Both sides fought hard and suffered heavy losses. However, the Tubo army was never able to attack the hill. The sky darkened and the fierce battle came to an end.
The mercenaries were exhausted and everyone was in a heavy mood. The cries of the wounded soldiers from time to time made the already heavy atmosphere even heavier. Yanping blames himself endlessly. What he is most worried about now is that the Tibetan army will divide its forces to raid Luoche. At this moment, Zhao Xiong must have thought that his own army was chasing the enemy and would not be prepared for a sneak attack. If the Tibetan army suddenly attacked, Luoshu City would most likely be lost. If such a situation occurs and the situation of the war is reversed, how will I explain to His Majesty? Thinking of this, I just feel very scared.
What Yan Ping was worried about had already happened. Songhe reversed the situation in the first battle and immediately continued to surround Yanping's mercenary army with his main force. At the same time, he ordered his general Samba to lead 10,000 troops to raid Luoxue.
Samba led 10,000 elite troops to travel through the night. One day later, they arrived at Luozhe City and hid in the woods. It was midnight at this time. Looking from a distance, I saw a few sparsely lit torches on the city wall. There were only a few people under the light of the fire. The other party's vigilance was indeed lax. Samba suppressed his excitement and ordered the army to quietly approach the city gate. At the same time, he ordered hundreds of warriors to carry ropes and climb up from the weakly guarded spot on Yanyun's side.
Zhao Xiong had just fallen asleep when he suddenly heard a huge sound of fighting outside and jumped up in surprise. He grabbed the big ax and rushed out of the dormitory. Looking in the direction where the killing sound came from, he saw the flickering fire in the direction of the west city gate. Zhao Xiong frowned and muttered: "What's going on?" He immediately called one of his bodyguards and ordered him to gather his troops. At this moment, a bodyguard covered in blood stumbled in and shouted anxiously: "Oh no, Chief! The Tubo people are coming!" Zhao Xionghu opened his eyes and cursed: "Fuck!" !Coming to die!"
Zhao Xiong led hundreds of people to the west city gate and was surprised to see countless Tubo people rushing in from the city gate. Although his own troops resisted desperately, because the number was too small, they could not resist at all, and fell to the enemy one by one. In the midst of a wave of soldiers. Zhao Xiong was shocked, then furious. He wielded a big ax, shouted, and led his men to charge forward.
The two sides fought bloody battles in the streets. Although the number of mercenaries was small, they were extremely tough and managed to block the Tubo attack for a while. But as time passed, as the number of mercenary deaths increased, the situation began to take a turn for the worse. The mercenaries soon could not withstand the enemy's offensive. Unable to withstand the battle, they began to retreat, and fell one by one in the middle of the tide of enemy troops. In the end, the mercenaries were dispersed and retreated into residential buildings in various streets and lanes to continue fighting with the Tibetan army. The Tibetan army has completely poured into the city, but it cannot be considered as occupying the city, because although the mercenaries were washed to pieces, they were still fighting fiercely everywhere. The Tubo army could not take much advantage. Every time they killed one Mercenaries will have to pay the price of several casualties or even more, and the battle situation is very tragic.
The residents in the city were hiding in their homes, listening to the brutal fighting outside, and were terrified, fearing that their doors would suddenly be knocked open, and vicious men from both sides would break in!
Zhao Xiong didn't know how many enemies he had hacked to death, and his whole body was stained with blood and turned into a bloody man. Zhao Xiong and his men beheaded dozens of Tibetan soldiers who besieged him, and they were all panting. Zhao Xiong glanced around him and found that there were eight people around him just now, and now there were only four people left, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
An escort said: "Bureau Chief, if this continues, we will all die here. Let's break out!"
Zhao Xiong glared and shouted: "No! Since we have accepted this escort, we must not run for our lives unless we die! Since we are in this business, don't be afraid of death!" The four escort masters were silent.
At this moment, fierce fighting sounds came from a street not far to the west. Zhao Xiong picked up the big ax and said: "Our brothers must have encountered the enemy, let's go help!" Before he could finish speaking, people had already rushed over. The four bodyguards looked at each other, picked up their swords and spears and followed. Go up.
The five people ran towards a small alley and saw an open space surrounded by many houses not far ahead. Hundreds of Tibetans were besieging dozens of escorts. The battle was very fierce. There were dozens of corpses lying on the ground, most of them. They belonged to the Tubo people, and there were many corpses of the bodyguards. Zhao Xiong opened his eyes and rushed into the enemy group with a big ax in hand. With a roar, the big ax flew up and down, slashing the Tibetan people's flesh and blood everywhere! When the four bodyguards saw this, they also rushed into the enemy group. Their swords were red. For a moment, the five people were invincible and no one could stop them!
The Tubo people were caught off guard by them, and seeing their ferocity, they couldn't help but panic. Then he found that only five people came. His fear disappeared, and anger surged into his heart, and he shouted and besieged them.
Zhao Xiong joined the group of surrounded bodyguards and did not bother to talk, trying his best to deal with the Tibetans who were constantly besieging them. The swords were flying, flesh and blood were flying everywhere, the Tubo people were chopped down one by one, and the bodyguards also fell in a pool of blood one by one. Zhao Xiong was extremely angry when he saw the brothers around him fall down one by one. However, facing the enemies that kept coming up, he struggled not to mention saving others, but he also struggled to cope with them himself.
The outcome seems to be doomed, these mercenaries who lick blood with their blades are destined to be stained with blood!
Seeing that the overall situation was decided, the Tubo general Samba prepared to send someone to report to the general.
At this moment, chaotic sounds suddenly came from the other side of the city gate. Samba looked around in surprise, and suddenly saw an army in red clothes and black armor charging in from the city gate. It was extremely ferocious, and the soldiers were scattered in chaos. The attacker was none other than the regular army of the Ming Dynasty! Samba's expression changed, and then he shouted and ordered all the troops to gather towards the city gate and fight back against the enemy! However, the Ming army's offensive was too fierce, and the Tubo army that counterattacked was defeated one after another, and the situation showed a reversal! Samba was still unwilling to give in and was ready to mobilize all his strength to fight back.
At this moment, there were loud killings all over the city, and it turned out that the mercenaries who were in dire straits began to fight back! When the Tubo people heard that the Ming army was coming from outside the city, they were already shaken. With such a fierce counterattack by the mercenaries, the Tubo people who besieged the mercenaries everywhere could not resist and retreated. At the same time, there was a loud rumbling sound from the North City Gate, and at the same time, the Tubo people screamed. It turned out that another Ming army entered the city from the North City Gate. Samba followed the sound and saw an extremely heroic enemy general charging into his own army first, wielding a pair of huge copper hammers. The bronze hammer whizzed and danced, making everyone invincible. The man and the horse seemed to be in a deserted place, and the thousands of Tubo troops and horses were unstoppable! Samba changed his color and exclaimed: "It's Yue Yun!!"
The Tubo army retreated steadily, and finally collapsed, and the army fled from the west city gate. Yang Dezheng led the army to chase and kill them, and they continued to kill them until the Tubo people were running like wolves and pigs, crying for their father and mother. Everyone only hated their parents for having two legs, and they ran away lifelessly. No one dared to turn around. fighting?
Zhao Xiong and others escaped with their lives, and they quickly cleared away the remaining Tibetan soldiers in the city regardless of their emotions. The sounds of fighting and screams came one after another, and the whole city gradually became quiet.
Zhao Xiong found an officer and asked, "General, is it General Yang who is here?" The officer shook his head and said, "It was General Yang Dezheng who led us here. General Yang Gui went to the west."
Yang Dezheng led the army to pursue them all the way, and the 10,000 elites led by Samba were killed in pieces. Songhe, who was besieging the Yanping mercenaries, was shocked when he heard the news that Samba was defeated and the Ming regular army appeared. Before I could recover from this shock, I saw smoke and dust billowing to the west, and the Ming Army had already arrived!
Songhe was shocked and immediately ordered to stop attacking the mountain. The Tibetan army that attacked the hills began to retreat. At this moment, there was a loud shout on the mountain, and the surrounded mercenaries rushed down like a mountain torrent. The retreating Tibetan army was caught off guard and immediately couldn't resist it. They retreated continuously, and the Chinese army's formation was disturbed! Songhe was so shocked that he went to the front line in person and led an army to counterattack, barely able to withstand the mercenary attack!
However, at this moment, 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Yang Dezheng stormed in from behind and swept forward the entire army. The Tubo people panicked, and they were unable to withstand the mercenaries' attack from the front. The mercenaries broke through the defense line and rushed into the depths. They suffered heavy casualties in a moment, with blood and flesh flying everywhere! The Tubo army was attacked from both sides by the Ming army and the mercenaries. They rushed and killed them fiercely. They were killed immediately and were completely defeated. The remaining defeated troops ran around in all directions!
Yan Yun rode his horse to meet Yang Dezheng's horse. Yang Dezheng said: "Captain, there is no need to be polite. The enemy has collapsed. Let's take advantage of the opportunity to completely defeat them!" Yanping was ambushed and almost his entire army was wiped out. He had already been holding back the evil fire for a long time. Then he heard Yang Dezheng's words. , naturally he couldn't get what he asked for, he cupped his fists and said: "But it depends on the general's orders!"
The mercenaries and the Ming army joined forces and pursued westward. Song He was as frightened as a bereaved dog and as anxious as a fish that slipped through the net. He led the remaining soldiers and defeated generals to flee westward in a hurry, with soldiers all over the grass and trees along the way. After escaping to Kumba, I saw that His Majesty the Emperor's temporary residence was completely deserted. There was not even a single person in the huge town, making it look like a ghost town. Seeing such a scene, the Tubo soldiers couldn't help but feel frightened and at a loss.
Song He shouted angrily: "Where are the people here? Where have they gone?" The voice echoed in the empty town: Where have they gone! Where has it gone! ~. Everyone couldn't help but feel horrified when they heard this.
Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves ahead. The Tubo soldiers couldn't help but become nervous and tightened their weapons. Looking around Xun Sheng, he saw a horseman running from the town, dressed like one of his own army officers. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The knight galloped up to the Tibetan soldiers, reined in his horse, clasped his fists and said, "General, I am an officer of your Majesty's army. I have been ordered to cut off the rear."
Songhe frowned and asked angrily: "What is the end of the line?"
The officer asked in surprise: "Don't the general know?"
Songhe said impatiently: "What is going on? Tell me quickly!"
The officer hurriedly said: "Not long ago, news came from Shenzha that a Yanyun army had broken through Shenzha and was heading south. His Majesty ordered to abandon Kumba immediately and retreat to Damolinka." Songhe frowned He raised his head and murmured: "It turns out that there is another Ming army attacking the north! I don't know how many places are occupied by the Ming people now!" At this point, he only felt that the current situation is really not good!
The officer looked behind Song He and saw that there were only ten thousand men and horses, and all of them were in a state of shock and confusion. He couldn't help but be surprised and couldn't help but ask: "General, you, what are you...?" Song He felt Embarrassed and unwilling to talk about his defeat, he ignored the officers and led the defeated soldiers to Damolinka in the west.
The officer's men gathered around. A junior officer looked at the defeated soldiers who had just escaped and were in dire straits, and asked the officer in confusion: "Sir, they, they seem to have lost the battle!" Another junior officer said with a look of despair: "They must be We also encountered the Ming army! Only a few troops came back from the hundreds of thousands of troops! We are finished with Tibet! If we continue to fight, we will all be dead!"
Everyone couldn't help but panic. A junior officer said: "Sir, if you go to Damolinka, you will die. The Ming army will definitely attack there soon! We'd better run for our lives!" Everyone agreed and looked at the officer longingly. The officer hesitated for a moment and felt that there must be no hope for Tibet in its current situation. For now, it is more important to save life. With this thought, he said: "Let's throw away all our armor and weapons and go home!" Everyone saw the officer. Having said that, there was nothing to hesitate about. They all took off their armor, threw away their weapons, and fled for their lives.
Songhe led more than 10,000 defeated soldiers to flee to Damolinka. When meeting the emperor, both of them remained silent for a long time. The emperor hoped that he could bring back a large army and stabilize the situation, but he did not expect that only more than 10,000 remnant soldiers would be brought back; Songhe felt guilty and speechless.
The emperor was annoyed and just wanted to execute the general who lost his army. However, considering that the current situation was critical, if he punished the general again, it would make the army more unstable and the situation would be even more uncontrollable. Moreover, almost all of the remaining soldiers today were loose. If He's subordinates deal with him, they may cause civil strife. The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart and comforted Song He with kind words. Songhe was originally worried that the emperor would deal with him, but when he saw that the emperor was so kind and comforting, without any sign of anger, he couldn't help but let go of his choice, and then he was very grateful. He felt that the emperor was so lenient to him, and he would only be broken into pieces. Only then can we repay the emperor's great kindness.
"General, now that Luoche has been lost and the main force of our army has been lost, what should we do next?" the emperor asked Song He. Before Song He arrived, the emperor had already discussed this issue with the ministers, but the ministers were frightened, talking all over the place, and could not come up with a feasible plan at all. Therefore, when the emperor saw Song He arrive, , so I couldn't help but ask him about it. Everyone looked at Song He, hoping that he could come up with a feasible plan.
Songhe thought: "The Ming Dynasty invaded in a large scale and its troops were fierce. It is obviously impossible to withstand the enemy's offensive with Damo Linka! I think we should withdraw to Buyang and Yaze, relying on Zhuo Shute Mountain and The Himalayas withstood the attack of the Ming army! The Zhuo Shute Mountains and the Himalayas are so majestic that they reach into the sky. Especially the Himalayas, even the clouds can only float on its mountainside. We rely on these mountains as barriers to stabilize the situation. It can stop the attack of the Ming army! No matter how strong the Ming army is, they are not immortals, and they will never be able to cross the Himalayas, which is difficult for birds to cross!"
Songhe's proposal can be said to be the most feasible solution at present. However, everyone present remained silent and seemed to be unhappy. It turns out that most of the land and population of everyone here, including the emperor, are north of the Himalayas. Now that they have to give up all of this at once, it is no wonder that they are reluctant.
The emperor asked: "Is there no other way?"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
