Finally conquering the Tanggula Pass, Zhao Ziliang led more than 2,000 soldiers of the Tang Army on the morning of March 24 to build fortifications and checkpoints on the south slope of the Tanggula Pass, halfway up the mountain on the side that was in contact with the Tubo.
Now, The Tanggula Pass has been captured by the Tang Army.
In the future, the Tang Army will face the Tibetan Army.
Of course, defenses and checkpoints must be set up halfway up the southern slope of the pass.
It took more than two thousand people only one day to roughly build the prototype of a heavy defense level.
The frame has been erected and can be gradually improved in the future.
Zhao Ziliang cannot stay here for too long.
March 26 In the morning, after leaving 300 men on each side to garrison on the north and south slopes, he immediately led the remaining 1,800 men down the Tanggula Pass and headed south.
On the march, Brahan asked in confusion: "General, aren't we going to raid the Chawula Pass as our next stop?
We should be marching eastward.
Why should we go south?
This is already the heartland of the Tibetan people." , if you are not careful, the whole army will be in danger of being wiped out."
When Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng entered Tibet from Qinghai, they took the Chawula Pass.
The pass has an altitude of 4,900 meters.
Like the Tanggula Pass, it is the boundary between Qinghai and Tubo.
Zhao Ziliang said with a sullen face: "There is no rush to go to the Chawula Pass.
After entering the Tibetan territory, we killed everyone we met along the way.
The news should not have reached Luoshou yet.
We still have time to catch the Tubo people.
Let's make a fuss.
Send this general's order to advance at full speed southward along the main road.
Our goal is Heihe, an important town in northern Tibet."
Heihe, an important town in the north of Tubo, was later known as Nagqu.
This was the most important production area for military grain and war horses in Tubo.
Zhao Ziliang's purpose was to attack here.
Now is the time for sowing seeds and breeding war horses.
If he were to attack Heihe at this time, , the Tubo people will definitely be seriously injured.
At nightfall on March 26, the army entered the lower area of Heihe.
The lower area pointed at thousands of Tibetan tents.
Zhao Ziliang was not polite and directly led his troops to attack the lower area.
The peace on the grassland was broken.
Since Songtsen's death, Bu unified all parts of the plateau and established After the Tubo Kingdom, this place has never experienced war again.
It has been peaceful for more than a hundred years.
People have long forgotten what war is.
People will never think that one day war will suddenly come to them.
They surrender without any preparation and Get ready, war happens.
Although there were only 1,800 cavalry, with each man carrying two horses, these 1,800 cavalry actually created a momentum of five or six thousand cavalry during the charge.
The Tubo camp was in a panic, and the army was completely unorganized.
The adult soldiers ran scatteredly to the stables to fetch their horses.
The elderly, women and children were looking for their children everywhere, and the cattle and sheep were also caught by this sudden attack.
The battle formation was so frightened that they fled everywhere.
"Swish, swish, swish" before the Tang soldiers and horses arrived, overwhelming arrows rained down on the Tibetan camp like locust raindrops.
A large number of screams rang out, and tents were knocked down and overturned by the panicked crowd.
The tents on the ground were lit by oil lamps and burned, and soon, the camp was full of flames.
"Boom, boom, boom!"

The Tang army's military formation rushed into the camp, like a pack of wolves rushing into a sheepfold.
In the blink of an eye, a large number of Tibetan people in the camp were killed and wounded.
Teams of Tang army cavalry shuttled between the camps.
The head of a Tibetan man was chopped off, and blood flowed all over the ground.
There were screams, screams, cries, and begging for mercy everywhere.
The Tang Army left as quickly as it came.
In just two quarters of an hour, the Tang Army disappeared into the distance, leaving only corpses on the ground, a mess of thick smoke billowing, and some tents with small triangular flags hanging from ropes nailed to the ground.
It was still floating in the cold wind and stained with red blood.
Occasionally, a few babies' cries could be heard between the corpse and the tent.
After leaving the lower area, Zhao Ziliang touched the blood on his face, rode his horse to the roadside, stopped and took out a map.
A subordinate next to him set up a small tent in a short time, the oil lamp was lit, and Zhao Ziliang walked in.
He leaned under the oil lamp in the tent and studied the map.
He nodded on the map with his finger and said to the subordinate standing next to him: "It is reported that the army is heading south in a straight line.
We will not send anyone to report until we encounter a lake."
"promise" The order was quickly passed on.
After marching quickly for an hour, the entire army encountered a large lake.
There were several tents erected around the lake.
These Tubo people were quickly rounded up and captured by the Tang army.
After torture, they learned that the lake was called that lake.
After interrogating the local Tubo people, Zhao Ziliang learned that this place was not far from Heihe River.
If he marched overnight, he could definitely arrive before dawn.
Zhao Ziliang found that the soldiers had marched at high speed for a day and launched a surprise attack in the middle.
He was very energetic.
Tired, but the news that the Tang army appeared in the hinterland of Tubo will spread soon.
Heihe must be captured before the Tibetans react, destroy everything there, and deal a heavy blow to the Tibetans.
Zhao Ziliang said solemnly to the captain of the guard, Bo Lehan: "Send the order to the whole army to set off for Heihe overnight.
Set off immediately.
The horsemen will not rest and rush to Heihe at full speed.
We will launch an attack before dawn.
We can only rest after destroying Heihe."
"Understood."
Although Bo Lihan knew that the soldiers were very tired, he also knew that this time period was the most dangerous time period.
Once the news reached Luozuo, and when the upper echelons of the Tibetan people reacted, the Tibetan armies would Surrounded from all sides, it would be very difficult to evacuate safely.
Only by walking in front of the Tubo people step by step can we lead the Tubo people by the nose.
After the order was issued, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army insisted on continuing to move south.
The horses were changed again and again.
The people on the horses grabbed the reins and saddles, closed their eyes and allowed the people in front to pull them forward.
Many soldiers sat on horseback and fell asleep during the march.
I don’t know how long it took.
The team suddenly stopped.
The soldiers on horseback all woke up at this moment.
News came from the front that they had arrived.
On the northwest side of the Heihe River, the sentinel in front had already gone to inquire about the situation.
Zhao Ziliang's order was passed down, asking the soldiers to dismount, eat, drink water, and feed their horses, but they were not allowed to take off their weapons, take off their armor, or sleep, and were on standby at any time.
The spring water that Zhao Ziliang collected at the hot springs had an effect at this time.

Buckets of spring water were distributed to each group of soldiers.
The soldiers took turns holding the buckets and drinking water, and then took out the noodles and steamed buns to nibble on.
While doing so, he took out horse feed from the saddle bag on the horse's back and fed it to the horse.
At dawn, the scout came back.
After hearing the report, Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered the entire army to prepare for battle.
The soldiers who had already finished eating and drinking mounted their horses and formed a team.
Within a few minutes, the entire army formed a neat rectangular team.
Zhao Ziliang rode at the front of the team and waved his arm forward.
The army began to move forward slowly.
The soldiers followed Zhao Ziliang at a trot.
Not long after, a glimmer of dawn appeared on the horizon, and a hill appeared on the horizon.
In front of the Tang army, the army slowly climbed up the hills, and a white river under the hills came into view of the Tang army soldiers.
On the edge of the river are endless red, green and white tents.
The tops of each tent are tied with ropes.
The other ends of the ropes are nailed to the ground.
The ropes are all decorated with colorful triangular flags.
The flags are floating in the wind.
Keep dancing in the air.
Zhao Ziliang made a gesture, and the soldiers of the Tang Army slowly dispersed and lined up in long rows on the entire hill.
The camp by the river was quiet.
Suddenly, several dogs barked from the camp at the same time.
The barking of dogs It was extremely powerful, and soon several black shadows rushed towards the hill from the camp.
"Swish, swish, swish" several sharp arrows shot over, and the black shadow that was running wildly fell to the ground and rolled far away, and let out several screams.
"No wait, the barking of the dogs just now has alerted the Tibetan people in the camp.
Send the order and the whole army is ready to charge."
Zhao Ziliang said as he drew three more sharp arrows from the quiver.
The order flag was waved by the order soldiers, and the order was quickly conveyed.
Zhao Ziliang put three arrows on the bowstring and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me to charge.
Kill everyone in the camp and then the whole army will rest.
Eat meat and drink wine." ,kill" "Kill" the soldiers agreed with a bang.
The rumble of horse hooves sounded, and gradually became more rapid.
The Tubo people in the camp finally discovered it.
In an instant, the entire camp boiled and became a mess in the blink of an eye.
In the chaos, the arrows of the Tang army continued without stopping.
Falling in the air.
Screams rang out one after another, waves of merciless arrows fell like a relay race, and the Tibetan people who rushed out of the tent fell down like wheat.
After several waves of arrows were shot out, the Tang army soldiers put away their bows and arrows and took out their weapons.
At this time, they just entered the Tibetan camp.
There were no protective measures around or inside the camp.
The Tang Army cavalry rushed into the Tubo camp without any obstruction.
As they passed each tent, heads flew up one after another, and headless corpses fell in a pool of blood in a panic. , fire, and fear soon spread throughout the camp.
Zhao Ziliang made a gesture with his left hand, and the cavalry behind him dispersed into several teams and interspersed throughout the entire Tubo camp.
The Tubo camp with thousands of tents had a population of about 16,000 people.
After being rushed into the camp by the Tang army, there was no trace of it.
It was impossible to organize effective resistance.

Even if someone organized a small team within a short period of time, they would easily be killed by the Tang Army's cavalry.
The next morning, when the morning light rose and the fog gradually dissipated, corpses were lying everywhere on the Tibetan camp by the Black River.
Human corpses, horse corpses, cattle and sheep, and the remnants of tents that had been burnt to ashes were still rising on the ground.
In the light smoke, the cavalry of the Tang Army were cleaning the battlefield and counting casualties everywhere.
A large number of vultures were constantly circling in the sky, waiting for the Tang Army to leave and preparing to pack a meal
