The Tubo army saw that the resistance of the Ming army on the city wall was not very strong. The more they fought, the more courageous they became, and the offensive continued to rush forward like a wave. Qiongguo Pass seemed to be crumbling in the wild waves.
The fighting lasted from morning to evening. The Ming army could no longer withstand it. The wave-like Tubo army continued to roll over the city, and the battering ram hit the city gate, making a loud noise. The Ming army at the top of the city could no longer resist and began to fall apart. The Tubo army broke through the defenses at the top of the city and then captured the city gate. The city gates opened wide, and the Tubo army rushed in! The Ming army was defeated like a mountain, with many dead and injured, and many were taken prisoner.
In this battle, the Tibetan army won a clean and tidy victory. The Tibetan soldiers swept away the depression of their previous defeat and regained their confidence.
A tied-up Ming officer was dragged into the tent by several Tibetan soldiers and came to Songhe. A soldier shouted: "Kneel down!" The officer shuddered and couldn't help but kneel down. He took a peek at Songhe who was sitting high up, and his heart was filled with fear.
When Songhe saw that the man in front of him was wearing Tubo clothes, he frowned and asked, "Are you from Tibet?"
The man was frightened and didn't speak. The general standing next to Song He glared and shouted: "Say!"
The officer was so frightened that he kowtowed hurriedly and said: "General, please spare your life, General, please spare your life! I, I was forced to join their army!"
Song He said: "Answer the question honestly and I will spare your life." The officer promised repeatedly.
Songhe asked: "Are there any Han people guarding Qiongguo?"
The officer shook his head and said, "No. There are only five thousand soldiers like us."
Songhe frowned and asked again: "Where are all the Han people? Why don't they guard Qiongguo?" Then he said sarcastically: "They don't think they can help them defend Qiongguo with traitors like you, right?"
The officer hurriedly said: "We, we were transferred here not long ago. The people guarding here were originally five thousand Ming troops. However, the Pibo side was in danger, so they changed into We are guarding Qiongguo, and the five thousand Ming army originally guarding here have been transferred to reinforce Pibo!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but suddenly realized. Songhe asked anxiously: "Have all the main forces of the Ming Dynasty been transferred to Pibo to resist the Tianzhu army?"
The officer nodded, "Yes, yes."
"How many defenders are there now from here to Luozhe? How many defenders are there in Luozhe?"
The officer shook his head and said: "No, there are no defenders left. There are only 5,000 men and horses in Luoxue City, of which 3,000 are Junfu troops."
Songhe asked some other questions, and then ordered the prisoner to be taken away.
General Zhandui said excitedly: "This is really a God-given opportunity! General, let's march immediately!" The generals all agreed, looking impatient. Everyone heard that there were no enemy troops in the front, and Luozhe actually only had 5,000 defenders, and 3,000 of them were military troops with low combat effectiveness. They felt that now was a good opportunity to recapture Luozhe in one go.
Songhe's mood was the same as that of everyone present. However, having suffered several serious losses at the hands of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of safety, he asked several captives to be brought in for questioning. The information obtained was the same as what the previous captive said, which showed that the situation was indeed true. Songhe immediately decided not to waste any more time and to attack Luo Point with lightning speed before the Ming Dynasty people reacted. In this way, the initiative was completely in the hands of the Tubo people. Songhe left only a thousand men to guard Qiongguo, while he led nearly 30,000 main troops to attack Qiongguo.
At the same time, Tianzhu's northern general Moise had led an army to surround Pibo. Moise was overjoyed to learn that there were still only 5,000 defenders in the city, and immediately ordered his army to attack the city by force. The war kicked off, and the Tianzhu army rushed towards Pibo like a tide. However, arrows rained down from the sky, and rolling stones and trees were like flash floods. The Tianzhu people attacked for a day and a night, but no one was able to reach the top of the city. Instead, they suffered heavy losses. By the end of the day, thousands of corpses had been piled up under the city walls.
The war in Tubo has begun again, and the war in Dali is about to begin. The Tianzhu army mobilized frequently and assumed an aggressive posture, while the Ming army was also mobilizing and getting ready for battle. When the Yue people in the east got the news, they felt that the situation this time was different from before. The Tianzhu people seemed to be using all their strength. The huge force made the Yue people thousands of miles away rush to the top of the mountain with pressure like a mountain. Li Hongwu, the emperor of the Yue Dynasty, felt that this was an opportunity and immediately ordered the men of the country to assemble to prepare for the right moment to launch an attack on the Ming army occupying Bagan.
The situation can be said to be precarious for Ming Dynasty, and the entire Dali and Bagan are under serious threat. Judging from the current deployment of the Ming Dynasty in these two places, I am afraid that in the best case scenario, they can only hold on to Dali. If they are not careful, even Dali may have to give up. The major merchant families who entered Bagan to do business stopped their work and retreated. The settlements that were originally under construction were also abandoned, and all personnel evacuated to several key cities; Duan Zhixian had already made arrangements, with regular troops and mercenaries The army has all retreated to several key cities to prepare for the Vietnamese army's attack. The military troops in Bagan and Dali are actively mobilizing to support the main force.
His eyes turned back to Tubo. After Songhe led the army to capture Qiongguo, they marched all the way east. As the prisoners confessed, there was no Ming army defense at all on the way from Qiongguo to Luoxe. The Tubo army recaptured many locations without encountering any resistance. , the troops point directly at Luotie, Luotie is in danger! Songhe ordered the army to speed up the march, and the Tubo army's morale was so high that they rushed towards Luoche almost day and night! There was an idea in Songhe's mind. He knew that the emperor of Ming Dynasty was now in Luoche City. He thought that if he could capture Luoche in one fell swoop, he might be able to conquer the emperor of Ming Dynasty! If the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was in his hands, Tubo would not only be able to regain his homeland, but it would also be possible to extort the Ningxia and Sichuan regions from the Ming Dynasty! Their emperor is in their own hands, so they have no choice but to take whatever they want! Thinking of the excitement, Song He felt a hundred times more energetic and full of energy, urging the soldiers under his command!
The Tibetan soldiers who were left to guard Qiongguo felt very bored and were a little disappointed that they could not participate in the battle to regain Luochang. Don't get me wrong, the reason why they are disappointed is not because of any honor, but because they feel that Luozu is rich. If they participate in the battle to regain Luozu, they can take the opportunity to grab countless gold and silver treasures, and they can live a carefree life. A lifetime. But now they are left in this sterile place, watching others plunder, how can they not go crazy in their hearts.
"Damn it, we are so unlucky! We were left to guard here!" a sentry cursed angrily.
The two sentries nearby echoed, both looking resentful. One of them said: "It's not because our commander doesn't know how to behave and offended General Songhe! General Songhe deliberately left our team here! Alas, the general wanted to show off to the commander. Look, it's pity that we little soldiers are all in trouble! In fact, there is no need to leave troops to guard here, and where are the enemies?" Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
A sentry inadvertently looked outside the city and saw a team coming from the east. He couldn't help but pointed and shouted: "Look, a team of our people is back!"
The sentries quickly looked to the east, and sure enough they saw a group of more than a thousand soldiers and horses driving back many large and small vehicles.
A sentry was very jealous and said: "They came back from the east. They must have robbed a lot of gold and silver treasures!" A sentry next to him said with hope: "They brought back a lot of loot, we should be able to share some of it. !" Another sentry said angrily; "Dream on! These trophies are all dedicated to His Majesty, how can we get a share!" The sentries sighed again.
Seeing the group of people driving large and small cars to the gate, one of them shouted loudly: "The general has sent us to bring trophies to present to His Majesty, open the door quickly!" What he said was naturally pure Tubo.
The captain had actually guessed it a long time ago, and before the other party finished speaking, he ordered his soldiers to open the city gate.
Teams outside the city rushed in with large and small cars. The Tubo soldiers guarding Qiongguo looked with envy at the large boxes and small boxes and bags carried on the carts. The captain walked down the city wall and said to the leading captain: "Brother, is it going well?" The captain laughed, "It went so smoothly! We didn't expect how smooth it would be!"
The captain guarding Qiongguo said gloomily: "You are eating meat and drinking soup in front, but we people didn't get even a bit of minced meat. What a bad luck!"
The captain who escorted the loot back smiled and said, "You don't have to sigh. There should be a chance later."
The captain guarding Qiongguo shook his head and sighed, and said, "I accidentally offended the general. I don't think the general will give my thousand-man team a chance!" The captain who was escorting the trophies back said, "Then you go. Please apologize to the general! A person like the general will never really care about you!" The eyes of the captain guarding Qiongguo lit up, and he nodded with deep understanding: "Yes, yes! I want to find an opportunity. Go and apologize to the general!"
The captain who came back from escorting the loot smiled, turned to look at his team, and saw that most of them had already entered the city. The captain guarding Qiongguo looked at the large and small carts and asked, "Are these all dedicated to His Majesty?" The captain who escorted the loot back smiled and said, "Of course, we have a surprise to present. To your majesty!"
Songhe led nearly 30,000 troops and marched day and night, and finally saw the majestic Luoxue City in the distance that night. Song He and others couldn't help but feel excited when they saw the mysterious and beautiful Luoshu City under the moonlight. Song He couldn't help but murmured: "We are back, we are finally back!"
Soon after, the scout came back and reported: "General, the security on the city wall is very relaxed!"
General Zhan Dui said excitedly: "The enemy did not expect us to come here!" Song He immediately issued an order, ordering the only two thousand warriors to be divided into three teams to ambush on three sides in the north, south and east, and then ordered Zhan Dui He led an elite group disguised as a military force to open the city gate, and the army followed closely behind. As soon as the city gate opened, they swarmed in and seized the city in one fell swoop. Songhe also made a special statement that Emperor Yanyun must not escape and should be captured alive as much as possible.
The army began to move under the cover of darkness. The soldiers and civilians in the city seemed completely unaware of the Tibetan army that had arrived outside the city.
Zhan Dui led five or six hundred elites to the west gate. A questioning voice came from the top of the city: "Whose subordinates are you, and why are you here late at night?"
Zhan Dui raised his voice: "We are the Junfu troops who have retreated from Qiongguo. We have urgent military information to report to His Majesty the Emperor!" Hearing on the top of the city that it was the Junfu army that had retreated from Qiongguo, the city panicked. The door creaked open. Zhan Dui couldn't help but get excited, and immediately led his men to rush in and raid the Junfu army near the city gate. The Junfu army did not expect that the friendly forces would launch a sudden attack. They were killed off guard and made them cry for their parents and run away. Zhan Dui and others were merciless to these traitors in their eyes. At the same time, there was a cry outside the city, and Songhe led the main force into the city gate.
The people in the city had already fallen asleep, but the sudden sound of fighting woke them up. And when they heard the huge roar coming from the west like a tide, everyone couldn't help but tremble with fear! Of course, not everyone was afraid at this time, but the nobles who had not been able to escape before were extremely excited.
The Tibetan army poured into the city, and victory was at hand.
Dong Dong Dong...! The sound of war drums suddenly sounded loudly in the din, and one after another, it completely suppressed the noise of the Tibetan army! When Songhe heard this voice, he couldn't help but be startled, and a bad feeling arose in his heart. The noise gradually calmed down, and the Tubo soldiers looked around in panic. I saw flames emerging all around, and countless Yan Yun troops appeared in all directions! It's not those military government troops, it's the serious Yan Yun Army, with tens of thousands of people and strong momentum! When the Tubo soldiers saw such a scene, they were frightened and puzzled, because they thought that Yanyun was unprepared, and the main force of Yanyun should be fighting against the Tianzhu army at Pibo!
Songhe finally reacted and screamed: "No! We have been tricked!"
Arrows rained down all around, and the whistling sound was like a strong wind. The Tibetan soldiers surrounded by arrows fell to the ground one after another, and screams were heard. The Tubo army was in chaos. A few brave ones rushed towards the Ming army in front, while most turned around and fled for their lives. Seeing that the situation was not right, Song He immediately turned his horse and ran towards the city gate, shouting as he ran: "Retreat! Retreat!"
The brave Tubo hit the Daming Army Front, howling and slashing while howling, the ping -pong ping pong sounded, and their machetes were cut on the shield. Suddenly, countless spears suddenly thrust out from the gaps between the shields. Blood surged, screams were loud, and the brave Tubo soldiers fell to pieces! Immediately, the shield wall dispersed, and the Ming sword and shield hand bravely charged into the middle of the Tubo soldiers. With the shield in his left hand and the sword in his right hand, he killed the Tubo soldiers until their corpses were covered in blood! The remaining Tibetan soldiers were so frightened that they did not dare to fight anymore, so they ran backwards and joined the fleeing army!
The Tubo army rushed toward the city gate. When they reached the city gate, they saw that the iron gate of the city gate had been lowered. The Tubo soldiers were crowded together and panicked. Song He saw the flames raging all around and approaching quickly. He was very anxious and immediately shouted: "Lift the iron gate quickly!" Zhan Dui immediately led dozens of strong men forward to prepare to lift the iron gate.
At this moment, a hail of arrows roared from the top of the city. Most of the Tubo soldiers who rushed forward were shot down. Zhan Duiye was shot in the shoulder by an arrow and was bleeding profusely. Songhe was very anxious and shouted: "Come forward together, shield and protect us!" When the Tubo soldiers who just wanted to escape heard this, they couldn't help but become furious, and immediately rushed forward howling. Arrows were rained down from the top of the city again, but they landed among the surging crowds. It was like throwing some stones against the wave. Although it caused some ripples, it was of no use. I saw the surging crowd rushing to the city gate. Down!
At this moment, there was a loud banging sound from the top of the city, and countless wooden barrels fell one after another from the top of the city! It hit the Tubo soldiers and the ground. It immediately shattered and countless liquids scattered down. In an instant, the ground near the city gate became muddy! The Tubo soldiers who were running for their lives didn't care about the large number. They rushed into the city gate, grabbed the iron gate, and struggled to lift it! Although the iron gate was heavy, under the efforts of dozens or hundreds of people to lift it, the gate started to rise! Seeing that there was hope for escape, the Tubo soldiers couldn't help but cheer!
ah! Amidst the cheers, there were sudden screams! It turned out that several flames actually rose from the crowd and burned many people. Those who were burned were screaming and screaming! In the blink of an eye, the liquid scattered on the ground and the liquid on the Tubo soldiers burst into flames, sealing off the entire city gate! The Tubo soldiers were so burned that they cried for their fathers and screamed for their mothers, running in all directions, and tens of thousands of horses and horses rushed towards the city in a chaotic manner!
The people running in front suddenly stopped, and the people behind had to stop too. They were anxious and yelled. However, the shouting and cursing soon fell silent, because they found themselves surrounded by the Ming army again! The Tubo soldiers were panicked and didn't know what to do.
I saw the Ming army on the street not far away separating to both sides. A very heroic Ming general and a female general who was too beautiful to be ordinary came to the front of the army surrounded by people. The Ming general reined in his horse, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "I am the Ming Emperor." The Tubo soldiers couldn't help but commotion when they heard that the man was the Ming Emperor. Then he heard the other party say: "You have been surrounded! Resistance will only lead to death!" The Tibetan soldiers were frightened and their morale was turbulent.
Songhe stepped forward and shouted sternly: "We are all loyal and brave soldiers of Tubo. We would rather die than surrender!"
Yang Peng smiled, glanced at the Tubo soldiers, and said loudly: "You soldiers, as well as your parents and ancestors are the slaves of the emperor and the nobles! The emperor and the nobles treat you like animals, even if you have achieved Even though we have won the war, we are no longer slaves to the nobles, we are still like pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep! Will the emperor and nobles be grateful to you? Will your descendants change their destiny because of your sacrifice? Your descendants are also slaves, forever Still slaves! Is it worth your sacrifice for the emperor and the nobles?" Yang Peng's words entered the hearts of the Tubo soldiers, and they couldn't help but feel that what the Ming Emperor said was reasonable. It was really shameful to sacrifice your lives for the emperor and the nobles. It’s worth it!
Seeing that something was wrong, Songhe shouted sternly: "He is deceiving the public with his evil words. Don't listen to him! People are born to be loyal to their king and father. This is the law of heaven and human relations! If people are not loyal, why should they stand between heaven and earth!"
Yang Peng shouted: "No! The king should be loyal to his people, rather than the people being loyal to the king! The world belongs to the people, not the king!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Yang Peng said calmly: "Songhe, if you want to be loyal to the emperor, I will give you a chance. Come to a fair fight with me! If you win, I will lead the army to withdraw from Tubo!"
The eyes of all the Tubo soldiers focused on Song He at the same time. Songhe only felt that there was no way to retreat, and he was filled with fear. There was no problem in asking others to do their best, but if he had to do his best himself, that was another matter! In our country, since Confucianism became popular, the kings, nobles and ministers have asked the people below to fight for them, and they regard it as a matter of course, and they still use Confucianism to give it the name of morality! Confusing black and white, putting the cart before the horse! Once upon a time, our kings were actually the ones who led the charge. Do you remember how many kings of Qin died in battle for their people and country? After Confucianism became popular, has there ever been a similar situation?
When Songhe saw the Ming Emperor's challenge, he had no choice but to retreat. Although he was extremely frightened, he had no choice but to step forward to challenge.
Yang Peng stepped forward on horseback. Songhe suddenly urged his war horse to rush towards Chen Xiao. He was very smart. He knew that with his own ability, he could not be Yang Peng's opponent anyway, so he hoped to catch the opponent by surprise and win the victory. In his mind, if Yang Peng could be killed, the Ming army would be in chaos, and he would have hope of escaping!
In the blink of an eye, Songhe rushed in front of Yang Peng, shouted loudly, and slashed down from top to bottom with the scimitar in his hand! Yang Peng raised the horse's shaft with one hand, and saw the machete hit the horse's shaft heavily with a loud clang! Songhe couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw that his all-out attack was useless. At this moment, I saw the opponent's left arm stretched out quickly, trying to dodge. However, when the old strength was gone and the new strength was not regenerated, my body was unable to react. In the blink of an eye, the opponent's palm grabbed the hem of his clothes! Songhe was shocked, and then he felt a huge force coming, and then he felt his whole body flying upward like a cloud and mist.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
