The Tang army's secret agent, who was mixed with the Tubo army, immediately began to take action after receiving instructions from the Tang army's camp.
Rumors quickly spread among the Tubo army.
Although the top brass of the Tubo army did not admit the matter, the incident quickly aroused the Tubo army's attention.
People in the army were in shock.
Mangbuzhi got the news not much earlier than Huangfu Weiming.
He got the news in the morning, and Huangfu Weiming got the news in the afternoon.
He tried his best to block the news, and at the same time prepared to order a troop to retake Longqi City tonight, but he Before the decision was taken, rumors began to spread in the army.
He was furious and thought He wanted to send someone to track down the person who spread the rumors, but he quickly put out the idea.
The more he pursued this kind of thing, the more suspicious the army officers would be.
If Shibao City and Longqi City were not captured by the Tang army, why should they?
Once the person who spreads the rumors is tracked down, he will appear guilty and will respond to the sentence "There is no three hundred taels of silver here."
"The Tang army is too cunning, too cunning."
Mang Buzhi was so angry that he walked back and forth in the tent and said as he walked: "This must be a trick of the Tang army.
There must be some of their craftsmen among our army.
Huangfu Weiming's purpose is It is really deplorable to use these rumors to disrupt the morale of our army."
A captain of ten thousand men saluted and said: "Marshal, we can't let Tang Jun Xizuo spread the rumors like this, or else we will send people to track down the people who spread the rumors."
Mangbuzhi stopped, thought for a while and said: "Don't investigate openly, secretly send people to find the source of the rumors.
In addition, spread the words of my commander and tell the entire army that this is a trick of the Tang army, with the purpose of disturbing me."
The military spirit, please don’t listen to the rumors.”
"Yes, Marshal" At this time, a centurion walked in quickly from outside.
This man reported to Mangbu: "Marshal, something bad happened.
General Zhao Ziliang of the Tang Army is leading his army to attack Changning.
Changning is in danger.
He sent someone to report that he will not send troops to rescue him. , I’m afraid it will be difficult to resist.
If Changning fails, our army will be attacked from both the north and the east, and the situation will be extremely unfavorable to our army.”
Mang Buzhi's face changed drastically and he asked: "Zhao Ziliang led the army to storm Changning.
Who sent the detective sent to Longqi City and Shibao City to capture Longqi City and Shibao City?
Have they returned?"
"Commander, not yet.
In this weather, Tanshao won't be able to run back and forth in a day."
Mangbuzhi wanted to send troops to recapture Longqi City immediately, but he did not know the specific situation of Longqi City and how many troops the Tang army had.
As for Shibao City, he did not expect that he could capture it again in a short time, and he Now his eyes are darkened, and he knows nothing about the situation in Longqi City.
He also listened to his subordinates According to the report, there had been no news from Longqi City for two days, and contact with Shibao City had also been cut off.
Only then did he know that something was probably wrong with these two places.
If Longqi City and Shibao City were really captured by the Tang Army, what would happen if they were captured by the Tang Army?
It’s incredible, but now it’s obvious that something is wrong in both places.
A captain stood up and said: "Marshal, we can no longer hesitate or wait any longer.
Now we can only send heavy troops to recapture Longqi City, otherwise our army will have no way back."
Mangbuzhi asked: "Then how many troops do you think we need to send to recapture Longqi City?"
"this" Mangbuzhi said with a worried look on his face: "Now we don't even know the details of Longqi City.
How can we send troops there?
Our 30,000-strong army fought several battles with the Tang army.
We lost more than 4,000 people and only 20,000 were left."
There are 5,000 men, and they do not have an advantage over the Tang army in terms of strength.
If we mobilize more troops to attack Longqi City, if more troops are mobilized, this area will be empty, and it is easy for the Tang army to seize the flaw.

If there are fewer troops, ,take If we don't go down to Longqi City, it would be a waste of time.
We can only find a way to figure out the situation of the Tang army in Longqi City, and let General Kilixu, who is guarding Linqiang County, strengthen the direction of Shibao City and Longqi City.
We must be on alert.
Linqiang County is where our army stores food and grass, so nothing can happen.
As for Changning, I have ordered Da Zha Lugong to bring 3,000 troops to reinforce him.
Isn’t he healed?
Let him go.”
"Yes, Marshal" In the early morning of December 15th, the first year of Tianbao, Huangfu Weiming, the governor of Longyou in the Tang Dynasty, led his army to launch an all-out attack on the Tibetan army west of Xipingting.
Mangbuzhi immediately led the Tibetan army to fight.
The soldiers of the Tang army charged while shouting that Shibao City and Longqi City had been captured by the Tang army.
The Tubo army was surrounded by heavy siege.
The soldiers of the Tibetan army who were preparing to fight heard these shoutings, which were consistent with the rumors they heard in the camp yesterday. all The comparison was a complete match.
The morale of the Tubo army was greatly reduced on the spot, and their fighting spirit was completely lost.
Many soldiers dropped their weapons and turned around and fled.
The Tang army took advantage of the situation to pursue them.
The Tubo army fell into extreme chaos and was trampled by their own people, causing countless deaths.
Marshal Mangbuzhi of Tubo was in great distress, but at this time the entire Tubo army was in chaos.
He was unable to control the army at all.
Seeing that the army was in chaos and beginning to collapse, his followers immediately set up Mangbuzhi and fled to the rear.
As soon as the Mangbuzhi fled, some other Tubo soldiers originally thought of fighting to the death with the Tang army.
However, seeing that the Mangbuzhi had fled, they had no courage to continue fighting the Tang army.
The Tubo army soon collapsed on all fronts.
The Tang army was defeated by the king.
It was rare to wait for a group of brave vanguard generals to lead the pursuit of the collapsing Tibetan army, killing countless enemies.
Only a few thousand of the more than 25,000 Tibetan soldiers fled to Linqiang County.
The Tibetan general Dazalugong, who was ordered to lead three thousand troops north to reinforce Changning County, had only gone one-third of the way with his army when he heard the news of the defeat of the Mangbuzhi in the rear.
How could he dare to lead the team towards Changning County?
Immediately after leaving, the rear army turned into the front army, and the front army turned into the rear army, turned around and headed towards Linqiang County.
When Dazalugong arrived in Linqiang County with 3,000 troops, the frightened Mangbuzhi had just fled here with more than 4,000 troops.
The other 20,000 people all fell into the hands of the Tang army and were either killed or captured.
Captured.
At this time at night, Mangbuzhi and others led their troops to escape here for a whole day.
The road was blocked by heavy snow on the way.
Those who could escape here were the lucky ones.
Countless people were caught up and hacked to death by the Tang army on the way.
The frightened Mangbuzhi convened the generals in the army overnight to discuss the next step.
After all, this was related to their life and death.
This battle had been lost anyway.
The most important thing now was how to escape with more people. sky.
Mangbuzhi looked at the generals on the left and right sides of the audience with a dejected expression and said: "I never expected that the Tang army would make a long-distance raid on Longqi City and Shibao City, causing our army to be trapped in a tight siege.
Alas, now I The army is defeated, please tell me what to do."
Kilixu, the guard general of Linqiang County, was a veteran general of the same period as the Tubo Kingdom's Great Lun Zadayan.
He had considerable prestige and seniority in the Tubo army.
He said: "Marshal, Linqiang County cannot be defended.
Now our army If we want to escape from Shengtian, the only way is to break through to the west.

Even if there are heavy Tang troops in Longqi City, we must break through forcefully."
A general asked: "Why not break through from Shibao City?
Although the terrain of Shibao City is dangerous, it is not difficult for our army to break through, right?"
Kilixu shook his head and said: "No, the road to Shibao City from here is too narrow, and there is Yaoshui River next to it.
There are also several forts that have been captured by the Tang army.
If our army wants to pass smoothly, we must pull out these forts. , not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, the marching speed is too slow, Moreover, Chiling Mountain Pass is narrow and it is difficult for the army to pass through in a short time.
Now our army has become a frightened bird.
The Tang army only has a thousand people in Shibao City.
After our army passes through, if they fight out from Shibao City, they will chase our army.
Our army will definitely be in chaos, how many of them can escape?"
All the Tibetan generals in the lobby were sweating coldly after hearing this, and they were all silent.
No one suggested taking the road of Stone Castle to break out of the encirclement.
Iron Blade Xinuolo asked at this time: "What should we do with the three thousand soldiers and horses in Changning County?
Should we send someone to order them to abandon Changning immediately and withdraw here to join us?"
Dazalugong sneered and said: "Hey, our army can't protect itself now.
We have to send people to inform them to come and join us.
How long will it take?
Huangfu's only bright Tang army behind him will catch up and devour us at any time.
At this time, we can only Let the three thousand troops in Changning defend Changning and hold them against the Tang army in the north.
In this way, our army will only have to pursue troops all the way.
If the Tang army in the north is also released, we will probably die without a burial place."
After hearing this, the coach Mang Buzhi had already made a decision in his heart.
He stood up and said, "That's it.
We break camp overnight and set off to the west.
Throw away everything that can be discarded along the way.
This can delay the pursuit of the Tang army behind us." , to buy time for us to intercept the Tang army in the west of Tubo.
Everyone, please go back and prepare."
Mangbuzhi and others still underestimated the speed of the Tang army's pursuit.
They had just set off with more than 10,000 men.
The Tang army's vanguard general Wang Jinjin led 3,000 cavalry from the Heyuan army to pursue them.
The Tubo army suddenly fell into chaos, and another great rout occurred. , no one could see who it was after dark, and they trampled each other, causing countless deaths.
When the panic-stricken Mangbuzhi and other Tubo generals arrived at the bank of the Huangshui River, thirty miles east of Longqi City, with more than 3,000 defeated soldiers, Ma Lin, who had already been ambushing in the mountains and forests, led 2,000 cavalry.
After rushing out, the defeated Tibetan soldiers fled on the spot.
Mangbuzhi, Kilixu, Tieben Xinolo, Dazalugong and others escaped from the ice of Huangshui River into the mountains to the north under the protection of their followers. middle.
While Ma Lin sent people to chase down the Tubo deserters, he also sent people to pursue Mangbuzhi and others.
It was not until dawn that the pursuers returned one after another with the prisoners, but there was no trace of Mangbuzhi and others.
When Zhao Ziliang was meeting Huangfu Weiming in Linqiang County, he got the news that Mangbuzhi and others had escaped.
He couldn't help but cursed: "These guys are really tough."
On that day, Huangfu Weiming held a banquet in the army to cleanse Zhao Ziliang and his party from the dust.
At the same time, he also celebrated the victory over Tubo.
After this battle, the Tubo army was greatly damaged and was no longer able to attack the Tang Dynasty in a short period of time
