"General, are we really not going to participate in the siege?" Guan Yong approached Liu Yuan on horseback, with regret in his words. For him, fighting is his interest. He likes to use fighting to show off his strength, walking on the edge of life and death in battle after battle, and then letting himself be proud and glorious in victory after victory. Being released was a great recognition and compliment for him. His blood is full of warlike factors. Zhao Fu said with some pity: "Luoche City is the capital of Tubo. It is full of nobles and lords, and there are many shops. It is said that they piled all the stolen wealth in the warehouse. The gold and silver goods in the warehouse piled up like mountains. This time I missed it. " Unlike Guan Yong, Zhao Fu, who was born in a poor family, paid most attention to gold and silver. Although he gained a lot after entering Tubo, the quantity was still limited. After all, it was a secret operation, and there was no way to deal with it in remote areas. Compared with Luoxucheng, where the rich and powerful are everywhere. Liu Yuan said angrily: "Don't worry, the situation this time is special. There are too many more reasonable soldiers and civilians. In order to prevent the soldiers from plundering and delaying the killing of the enemy, several generals have discussed it early in the morning and all the property will be lost." Take it, and then reward it based on your merits after completely capturing Luoche City. It will not work to use less force and gain more possessions. With the merits of blowing up the Tibetan soldiers and saving the suffering people of the Tang Dynasty, it is indispensable for us to show off our troops. " Tubo claimed that all the people were soldiers. Hou Junji used the policy of encirclement and expulsion to drive everyone to Luoxe City. As a result, Luoxe City was overcrowded. In terms of numbers, Datang was at a disadvantage. In order to prevent the soldiers from just looting, the enemy was forced to go one by one. After the defeat, after discussion, all the generals agreed that if they did not control the situation in front of the city, they would not get a penny, and they would be rewarded later on. In this way, the Yangwei Army gained a lot of glory. Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape. There are different changes in different periods. Liu Yuan deeply agrees with this point. Yuchi Baoqing said with some worry: "General, do you think we can really intercept Songtsen Gampo this time?" "A lot of things are like this. You will know whether it is right or wrong only after you do it. Now we can What I do is to do my best and obey fate." Liu Yuan smiled and said: "Fortunately, Liu's luck has always been pretty good." Hou Jun also echoed: "Don't think too much, there are hundreds of thousands of generals. It's even harder to get the top spot, not to mention those old generals, all of whom are experts in this field. It's unrealistic to follow them and try to take advantage. After all, our numbers are too small. In fact, I also think that the chances of success are much higher here. "Songtsen Gampo was extremely decisive in purging the old nobles. He used his sister to the end for the sake of his reputation, but his unborn nephew also became his political bargaining chip. It can be seen that he is a selfish person, a selfish person who usually cherishes his own life. of. Liu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, what's the matter? We'll talk about it later. We'll act as planned." "Yes, general." Everyone agreed in unison. Liu Yuan looked back at Luoxue City, which was blazing with flames. At this moment, this once glorious city had turned into a huge meat grinder. Greed is human nature. Violence and desire are the factors that cause the most unstable riots in human beings, and they are also the inducements for human beings to stimulate their potential and motivation. Needless to say, both sides will definitely be jealous. The heaven and earth are so big. Boundless, people stand between heaven and earth, just like a drop in the ocean, and in the long river of history, they are just an insignificant drop of water. Life only lasts for a few decades. Time flies. Some people choose to be vigorous, some choose to be ordinary, some are persistent, and some are persistent. Free and easy, what Liu Yuan pursues is a life of prosperity and freedom. Now it seems that the price is quite high. "Forget it, let's deal with the current hurdle first. Liu Yuan shook his head, as if to shake those messy thoughts out of his mind, then galloped forward, whipping up his horse and whip. ¡¡¡ ¡°Kill, kill them all.¡± ¡°Brothers, kill¡± ¡°Quick, come the archers¡± ¡°Seize Songtsan Gampo and win the first prize¡± ¡°Tibetan warriors, for Lord Zampu, for the warriors¡¯ sake Honor, kill." "Fight to the death and not retreat." Liu Yuan guessed right. As the last fortress, the Tubo people had no choice but to fight to the death. With hundreds of thousands of troops in the city, what effect would their strategies and tactics have? All have faded. The most effective and practical thing is to crush and conquer. Whoever can fight to the end will have the last laugh. The Tubo people were not willing to give up easily. They launched fierce street battles with the Tang army in every street and house. It could be said that every inch of land was fought for, but the results were obvious. The Tubo people, who were good at field warfare, were obviously inferior to the Tang army in street fighting, and they He was not prepared to fight with Tang Jun in the alley.Preparation for battle. The Tang Dynasty was fully prepared in this regard. Bows, arrows and fire cannons were fired in unison. When they encountered hard-to-gnawed bones, gunpowder packets were directly waiting for them. Cavalry drove them away, sword and shield soldiers defended them, and sword soldiers crushed them. Archers assisted them. The soldiers were well-trained and progressed step by step according to the plan. The progress was very smooth. However, the Tibetan soldiers were not used to fighting in these street battles. Secondly, their armor was at a disadvantage. Most importantly, they had no available generals. They lost one general after another, and their morale was extremely low. Now Songtsen Gampo relies most heavily on Lunqinling and Qiongbo Bangse. Lunqinling fell into the trap set by Li Jing and was seriously injured. He was unable to go to the battlefield to cheer. Qiongbo Bangse, the only one who had achieved great results, also The gunpowder explosion destroyed all the corpses. Not only was Songtsan Gampo in a situation where there were no generals available, but the morale of the army also dropped to freezing point. Privately, many soldiers began to doubt Songtsan Gampo. I felt that this was God's punishment for Tubo, and as a result, I felt less motivated to work for him. Success after victory, defeat after defeat, the outcome can be known, but in the face of death, many people have to fight desperately. For a time, Luoxue City was a veritable purgatory. The sound of killings was loud and blood flowed all over the ground. There was always an lingering smell of blood in the sky above Luoxue City. It was late June, the hottest day of the year. , within two days, the corpses had begun to stink, and later on, both sides had to allocate manpower to bury the corpses. The battle could be said to be stalemate and tragic. "General, General Li's troops have captured the Hundred Households in the south of the city." "General, General Niu has received news. Early this morning, he killed one chief of the thousand households, three chiefs of the hundred households, and killed and wounded 3,077 Tubo soldiers. "General. General Cheng captured Qianhu Station in the west of the city, captured Qianhu Datian alive, and continued to march towards the palace." "General, Songtsen Gampo organized more than 30,000 people to try to recapture Baoguang Temple. General Duan led his troops to defeat Songtsen Gampo, killing more than 10,000 Tibetan troops. Songtsen Gampo was unable to attack for a long time and fled in panic. "" General, the Tibetan granary in the west of the city was captured, and more than 10,000 grains were obtained. With a plan in mind, General Duan asked for reinforcements. "" Good news came one after another to the commander Hou Jun's barracks, and Hou Jun collected and analyzed the news one by one. Then arrange the manpower reasonably, strive for victory steadily, and push Tubo into the abyss of despair step by step. The advantage of the Tang Dynasty is too obvious. As long as there are no fatal mistakes, there is no possibility of Tubo coming back, and the war will become more and more tense. Hou Junji is more calm. Datang and Tubo exchanged prisoners on June 27th. The attack began at noon on the 28th. With the help of Liu Yuan's brilliant strategy, in less than an hour, Tubo's defenses had been broken through, and the final attack on Tibet was officially launched. The decisive battle was just over ten days later, in mid-July. Several armies of the Tang Dynasty successfully surrounded Songtsan Gambo and his men in the palace. Some of the Tubo people were captured and some surrendered. In less than half a month, Songtsan Gambo was surrounded and turned into a turtle in a urn. . It was only a matter of time to take down Songtsan Gampo. Tubo was under severe attack from the Tang Dynasty. Death by death, injury by injury, surrender by surrender, the scale of victory began to move towards the Tang army. When the imperial army was heavily surrounded, Hou Junji personally issued the final order: "Soldiers, Luoxue City is already in our possession. There is only one thing left to do now, and that is to seize the culprit this time. Songtsan Gampo, rush for me." As soon as Hou Junji finished speaking, there were two huge explosions. A large section of the palace wall was blown down, and the door of the palace was also blown up. Fei, under the protection of his personal guards, Hou Junji was the first to rush in. With the general's orders, he was the first to charge. There was still a huge achievement waiting in the palace. How could everyone be unmoved? Hearing this, they all raised their weapons and rushed towards the palace with loud killing sounds. "Kill" "Capture Songtsen Gampo alive!" "Kill" "Capture Songtsen Gampo alive!" The crowd roared loudly and rushed in to capture Songtsen Gampo. The Tubo guards, palace maids, dancers, etc. were either killed or captured , the Tang army was invincible, and just when they were about to control the entire palace, a soldier suddenly shouted: "Fire, look, it's such a big fire." After hearing this, Hou Jun and others looked towards the fire, and saw that the palace was the tallest and most decorated. The luxurious Wenxian Building was blazing with flames. One look at the fire revealed that it was not a fire, but that someone had poured something to support the fire and deliberately set it on fire. Everyone present felt a sense of uneasiness. Several generals were stunned at first and looked at each other. , and then led the troops straight to the fire. As soon as I rushed to Wenxian Tower, I saw a circle of Tibetan court ladies, civil servants and generals kneeling on the ground, all of them crying softly. From time to time, someone would cry out sadly for Songtsen Gampo. A school captain grabbed a man who looked like a minister. , put the knife on his neck, and loudly asked in Tubo the whereabouts of Songtsen Gampo, the Tibetan hesitatedAfter a while, he replied intermittently soon. "General, it's bad. Tubo Zampo Songtsen Gampo, Xie Tongjuemeng (titled, equivalent to the eldest wife) Princess Chizun, Dalun Trisang Yangdun and the injured Lun Qinling and others are so embarrassing. After adding kerosene, he drove out the palace maids and guards, closed the door, set himself on fire, and died for his country. "What? Really self-immolation? Looking at the Wenxian Tower with flames blazing into the sky, Hou Junji and his entourage felt a bruised feeling. They had worked hard for so long and were only one step away from catching Songtsen Gampo. Now it was time to set themselves on fire, which made people feel like a chicken and an egg, imperfect.
