Li Qing led 10,000 Xia army elite cavalry to take advantage of the Tubo coalition army has not yet arrived, crossed the Nu River in the middle of the night to the west, in order to prevent being discovered by the Tubo people, Li Qing has always chosen to march in a sparsely populated place, in order to prevent getting lost Li Qing deliberately brought Ba Si Pa, for the Xia army's amazing marching ability Ba Si Pa has deep feelings, of course, this Xia army's attack, but also let Ba Si Pa see the cruel side of the Xia army.
"Phag-pa, where are we now?"
asked Li Qing.
"Captain, we're in Bowo."
Phags-pa said.
"How far is it from the city of Luoqi?"
asked Li Qing.
"There are about seven or eight hundred miles to go."
"The herald ordered the army to march haste, and it must reach the city of Raksha within three days."
Li Qing issued a military order.
"The commander ordered the army to march in a hurry to reach the city of Los within three days."
It is much easier to walk after the Bowo Road, here has entered the core area of Tubo, the Xia army iron cavalry went all the way to the west and went straight to the city of Luo to kill it, on the way to the march Li Qing finally knew why the combat power of the Tubo people will decline so quickly, now the Tubo temples are numerous, and there are many lamas, you can see lamas everywhere you pass along the way, even if you are lucky enough to see some ordinary people, they are also dull-eyed.
At this time, the people of Tibet have been completely enslaved, Li Qing admired the means of the Tibetan ruler very much, but also felt very afraid, through this way Li Qing found that when the power of religion developed to a certain scale, it could threaten the imperial power, Li Qing made such an assumption that if all the people of the Great Xia Empire sincerely believe in a religion, the power of religion is bound to expand rapidly, and religion can take advantage of this to wantonly annex land, and even launch a rebellion.
After the Battle of Tubo, Li Qing reported the situation to Li Liangzuo, of course, this is a later story; Now Li Qing's army is still on the way to Luo City, on this way Li Qing's army is basically unimpeded, the rear of Tubo is basically nothing, where the Xia army passed, the city and the temple have closed the gates, for these Li Qing is to get by, these small cities Li Qing is not interested in at all.
Three days later, Li Qing led the army to arrive outside the city, and saw the so-called city of Luo, Li Liangzuo's heart was half cold, and now the city of Luo is not even the scale of a city in the Central Plains, and because of the low city wall in disrepair for many years, Li Qing originally thought that he could make a lot of money by attacking the city of Luo, but seeing this situation, Li Qing knew that his ideas had been shattered.
The reason why the once powerful Tibet became like this is because of the result of its internal strife, the population of Tibet has decreased instead of increasing compared with the period of the Tubo Dynasty, and its economy and military have declined; After arriving at the city of Luo, Li Qing did not order an immediate siege of the city, and let the army be stationed outside the city, and that night there were several groups of cavalry leaving the city of Luo to the east, Li Qing knew that this was the messenger of the Tubo people for help, for which Li Qing did not stop but tried every means to let them go to the rescue.
In the early morning of the next day, the Xia army began to attack the city under the leadership of Li Qing, the Xia army was an expedition this time, there was no heavy siege equipment at all, Li Qing thought that he might pay a lot of casualties, but what Li Qing did not expect was that the Xia army entered the city very smoothly, this was simply a dramatic performance, and the Tubo people basically surrendered without resistance.
The Xia army basically did not engage in hand-to-hand combat, but used bows and arrows to constantly consume the Tubo people, and the reason why they attacked the city so quickly, Li Qing also had one thing to thank, that is, the earth-shaking thunder, although several earth-shaking thunders were thrown over did not cause great damage to the Tubo people, but it made these Tubo people feel that the Xia army had the help of the gods, and the gods were originally very respectful here.
Li Qing occupied the city of Luo without a single soldier, which made Li Qing feel a little surprised, but Li Qing did not stay in the city for long, after collecting enough grain and grass, Li Qing led the army to leave, and the fall of the city of Luo and the Tibetan coalition army will definitely meet the rescue, and Li Qing ambushed them on the way back to the army, Li Qing even wanted to eat them all in one bite.
Garqinling and Lu Dongzan were shocked to receive the news that the city was besieged, and now the main force of Tubo is all in the hands of the two of them, and the rear is very empty, at this time the Xia army suddenly appeared behind them, and the consequences are known with their toes, so the two people who received the news immediately led the troops back to the rescue, because they did not know the situation of the Xia army, the Tubo coalition army did not even leave even a single soldier on the Nujiang defense line, and all the soldiers and horses were withdrawn, which was equivalent to a toss in vain.
On the other side, Li Xing and Hua Ma and Mu Zheng received the news of the retreat of the Tubo coalition army, and the two immediately realized that Li Qing had succeeded, so they immediately led the troops across the river and followed the rear of the Tubo coalition army.
On the way back, some of the Tubo soldiers even began to leave the team on their own, and at the same time, there were rumors in the Tubo coalition army that said anything, for this situation Garqinling and Lu Dongzan could not be suppressed at all, their own tribe was okay to say, other tribes could not do anything, although they were big leaders, but there were many small leaders below, and the reason why he and these people were able to organize was completely because of the problem of interests.
On this day, the Tibetan coalition army was marching, and Garqinling said to Lu Dongzan: "After the mountain pass in front, we will soon be able to reach the city of Luoqi, and at our current speed, we should arrive in two days." ” "Now that it is getting dark, the herald orders the army to pass through the pass quickly, and then set up camp after passing the pass."
Lu Dongzan said.
"Okay, that's it" On the other side, on the side of the pass.
"Marshal, you see that the Tibetan coalition army is coming."
Said an adjutant general.
Li Qing looked at the marching Tubo coalition army and said: "I rely on the Tubo coalition army for this virtue, I knew that Lao Tzu would have a hard time with them, you look at the weapons they used, even the dung forks were brought, it was really enough." ” "General, let's attack."
"No, wait until they are halfway through before they start, give the order, use the earth-shaking thunder in the first round of attack, and then charge the whole army after two rounds of arrow rain, and strive to eat them all in one go."
Li Qing issued a military order.
"The Last General Commands" This is basically a battle without suspense, as soon as the two armies fought, the Tubo coalition army quickly collapsed, the powerful Tubo army no longer exists, after the earth-shaking thunder exploded, even some Tubo soldiers directly raised their hands and surrendered, at the same time Li Xing and Hua Ma and Mu Zheng led the army from the rear to kill, 200,000 Tubo army collapsed instantly, the Tubo coalition army was defeated like a mountain, and the rest was how to deal with war criminals.
The second more offered, asking for support, autumn recommendation:
