The envoy left in a hurry, and after returning to Lhasa, he immediately reported to Ilduqi, who was also very happy to receive the news, and immediately changed his flag according to the advice of Sonam Qunpei and the Fifth Dalai Lama, and announced that he had surrendered to the Tang army.

In this way, Ilduqi expressed his self-surrender to the Tang army to the leaders and monks around him, and of course, those local leaders who were busy resisting the attack of the Tang army were also not interested in expressing such a statement to him, and no one even responded or objected, like a stone thrown into a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest ripple.

Along the rugged mountain road, Tulu Baihu, who had trekked hard to Lhasa, finally heard the news that his fifth son, Ilduqi, had declared himself Khan and had raised the banner of the Tang Army to submit to the Tang Army.

Hearing this news, Tulubai Amber felt like a big scoop of cold water poured on his head, making himself cold from head to foot.

At the same time, the heart of this Wu Sizang Great Khan was filled with irrepressible anger.

This damned son, presumably he must have listened to the slander of Sonam Qunpei and others, and took advantage of his defeat in Naqu to urgently declare himself as Khan, and then in order to save his life and foundation, he announced to the Tang army that Wu Sizang would surrender and become a permanent vassal of the Tang Empire.

This bastard behaved so rebelliously, and he also lost his old face and even the dignity of the entire Wu Sizang.

He quickly thought of a more realistic question, his son established himself as a khan, and based on the city of Lhasa as his inheritance, so what is his own Gu Shi Khan?

Could it be that when I went back this time, I had to bow down to my son?

It's a terrible joke.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Gu Shihan's eyes Tulu Baihu.

No, we must not let this son of evil succeed, and we must not let myself, Gu Shihan, become a pitiful worm who has lost everything.

If you accidentally lose something, you must try to get it back.

Although he is embarrassed and haggard, he still has nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and if he sneaks to Lhasa quietly and launches a surprise attack while he is unprepared, he may not be without the possibility of victory.

Moreover, after all, he has been the Great Khan for many years, and he has quite a lot of prestige in Lhasa and other places, if he sees himself returning, then the leaders near Lhasa are afraid that they will not obey Ilduqi's orders, but will watch from the sidelines and even send troops to help him, so that the chance of his own counterattack will be greater.

And as long as he can regain the Khan position, then he can prepare for war with all his might. When the Tang army finally attacked Lhasa, they faced them face to face, fighting to the death, in order to avenge the defeat of the army, the blood and hatred of the death of Naqu's eldest son.

Thinking of this, Tulu Baihu had made up his mind, and he immediately gave an order, and the whole army accelerated forward, continued all the way south, and hurried to Lhasa City.

It was also a good time, and three days later, Tulu Baihu led the whole army, day and night, and finally arrived at the city of Lhasa at dusk.

At this time, it is a good opportunity for a surprise attack.

Tulu Baihu immediately ordered the whole army to divide all the remaining food, and then took advantage of the twilight but not yet completely dark to launch a sudden and fierce attack on the city of Lhasa, which was slackly defended and even unprepared.

It wasn't until Tulubaihu, under the command of the whole army, suddenly appeared outside the city of Hosa like a black phantom that the defenders, who were waiting for a change of shift, suddenly realized the sudden danger, and they were so frightened that they immediately sounded a long, sharp siren.

At this moment, Ilduqi, who was laughing and playing with several wives and concubines in the palace, heard this sudden alarm, and he jumped out of bed in shock.

The incident was sudden, and the wives and concubines suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, and at this time, a frightened guard staggered in from outside the door.

"What the hell is going on? Who sounded the alarm? Ilduzi hurriedly put on his armor as he shouted at the guard.

"Hey, King Khan, it's not good, old, the old Khan King has come back!" The guard panicked, and his tone of voice kept stumbling.

At this moment, Ilduzi could barely believe his ears.

This, how is this possible?

Didn't the Khan king Tulu Baihu already die in the city of Naqu and have already died in martyrdom? Why did he suddenly lead his troops outside Lhasa now, and he could still lead his troops and horses to attack him?

Ilduqi frowned and shouted angrily: "Have you ever seen clearly, is it indeed Father Khan?" If there is a mistake, you will not be spared! ”

The guards knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "King Khan, Xiao is indeed not mistaken, it was the old Khan who suddenly appeared with soldiers and horses, and was attacking the north gate with all his might." Our army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties, and it is estimated that they will soon enter the city. ”

Hearing this terrible news, Ilduzi's heart sank to the bottom of the icy lake.

In an instant, he figured out what was going on.

Damn, the Tang army obviously intended to let go of his father Khan, but he falsely spread the news of his death, so that he claimed to be Khan and surrendered to him, and then, his father Khan, who got the news, was unwilling to lose power, and now he wants to lead his troops to attack Lhasa, in order to recapture the capital of Wusizang and re-establish the Great Khan of Wusizang.

So now, what should I do next?

Before Ilduqi could think further, Sonam Qunpei and the Fifth Dalai Lama hurriedly entered with their bodies draped.

Ilduqi almost subconsciously asked: "Two, now that Father Khan has commanded his troops and is attacking Lhasa with all his might, what should we do?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sonam Qunpei said eagerly: "King Khan! There are no two days in the sky, there are no two kings in the country, and since you have become the new Khan, the old Khan King has become our enemy when he comes back this time! If we don't resist in a hurry and annihilate their subordinates, I am afraid that in the future, we will all become rebellious ministers, and we will all be killed by the old Khan King one by one! ”

After Sonam Qunpei finished speaking, the Fifth Dalai Lama also shouted: "King Khan, I have fallen for the tricks of the Tang Army in this matter, and the big mistake has been made. Lord Sonam is right, if the old Khan really leads his troops to take Lhasa, then our army will really die and have no place to be buried. ”

"Yes, King Khan, now the old Khan is attacking the city gate with all his might, and I have received a letter saying that his soldiers and horses are less than 10,000, and they are all exhausted by the long journey, and although there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses in the city, when he has not captured the city gate, he can rest and defend the city. If you can immediately go to the surrounding leaders for help at the same time, I believe that you will be able to cooperate with the outside and destroy the old Khan's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, so as to completely solve this crisis. Sonam Qunpei's eyes were burning and his voice was sharp.

Hearing this, Ilduqi had already made up his mind, he took a deep breath, and replied loudly: "Father Khan has been bewitched by others and wants to attack the city, we must stop him, and we must not let him succeed!" I order Sonam Qunpei to command the soldiers and horses in the nearby city, and he must block the attack of his father Khan! ”

"Order!" Sonam Qunpei received the order, answered loudly, and immediately hurried away.

Ilduqi turned his gaze to the Dalai Lama, and then issued an order in a deep voice: "Dalai, Ben Khan has appointed you as an envoy to immediately go out of the city and give orders to the nearby chiefs, ordering them to bring their troops and horses and rush to Lhasa urgently, and come to join forces with the soldiers and horses of our army headquarters to completely destroy the army of my father Khan!" ”

"Yes, I obey the order." The Fifth replied urgently, and immediately turned to leave.

When everything was arranged, the fierce battle at the Lhasa gate was very fierce.

At the same time, the soldiers defending the city began to urgently close the city gates and pull down the drawbridge.

"Sons, the whole army rushes across the bridge quickly, and at all costs, we must seize the north gate!"

Tulu Baihu, who was leading the army to kill, saw that after defeating the defenders outside the city, those defenders reacted to close the city gate, and the situation suddenly became so critical, he was so anxious that he yelled loudly!

After Tulubaihu finished speaking, the chief of the guard next to him was already in the lead, wielding his sword and slapping his horse, and rushed across the drawbridge first.

The cavalry guards also hurriedly followed, and their horses rushed across the drawbridge.

Behind them, dozens of infantrymen who strode forward also rushed across the drawbridge while it had not yet been raised.

After they rushed across the drawbridge, the drawbridge was pulled up violently, and the Tibetan army, which was only a step or two behind, was blocked outside the protective trench!

"Close the gates quickly, and don't let them enter the city!"

Sonam Qunpei, who came in a hurry and almost blew up his lungs, after running smoothly into the city tower, gasped and shouted orders to the soldiers defending the city.

The defenders who closed the gate became even more violent, and the city gate rumbled closer and closer, and seeing that the surprise attack plan of Tulubai's amber army was about to fall short.

At this critical moment, it was too late, but it was fast, and the agile captain of the guard finally took the lead, and the prancing horse rushed to the two huge city gates. At this moment, even people and horses were desperately blocked between the gates of the city that were desperately sandwiched!

"Porphyry!"

A terrible popping sound came, and the belly of the chief guard's mount, the huge squeezing force of the two gates, was actually crushed alive, and the dark cyan horse's stomach and intestines, which exuded a grassy smell, like a dark cyan ball, gushed out from the lower abdomen of this mount and rolled to the ground!

With a terrible scream from the mount, the captain of the guard on the horse also let out a terrible scream, and blood spurted wildly from his mouth.

It turned out that the chief guard at this time, his legs were also squeezed into pulp with the rapidly deflated belly of the horse!

But his hands, as if they were made of iron, were still pushing hard, and the two gates were about to be closed tightly!

The Tulubaihu soldiers who rushed across the suspension bridge, seeing this terrible scene, couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching roar in unison, and they all rushed towards the north gate as if they had gone crazy.

The chief of the guard exchanged his blood and life for a precious opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and it was up to the Tulubaihu soldiers, who were already in a desperate situation, to seize it.

"it! Push the door hard for Lao Tzu! ”

Turubaya roared to the edge of the gate, half-bowed, and tried to push it open with all his might.

Under his leadership, all his subordinates tried their best to push the two city gates, and those cavalry who rushed to the city gate also jumped off their horses and gritted their teeth to push the door.

Under the desperate push of Tulubai's subordinates, the city gate was pushed open at a very slow speed, little by little.

"Whoosh! ……”

At this time, the defenders at the head of the city began to shoot arrows like crazy.

Such a close-range shot was extremely lethal, and some of the Tulubaihu soldiers who were pushing the door with their strength could not dodge, and they were hit by arrows, killed or wounded, and fell to the ground screaming.

"Whoosh! ……”

When the Qing army began to release arrows, outside the moat, the archers of the Tulubaihu army also began to shoot arrows at the top of the north gate, hoping to suppress the defenders who were shooting arrows frantically at the head of the city in this way, and relieve a little pressure on the Tulubaihu army besieging the city.

At this time, in the heart of the main general Tulu Baihu at the moment, he was full of anger and extremely sad.

Unexpectedly, this loyal chief of the guard, who escorted him all the way back from Naqu City, would be here, in such a tragic way, in exchange for his life for the opportunity to break the city gate.

Such an opportunity to exchange blood and life, of course, must be firmly grasped, and must not let the moment when he is about to seize the city fall short!

The current plan is to try to survive in the dead.

At this time, dozens of Tulubaihu soldiers who were struggling to push the door saw from the cracks in the city gate that they were slowly pushing open, and on the streets and alleys in the city, the Tibetan army was surging madly in the direction of the north gate!

The moment of severity has finally arrived.

At this time, when the physical strength of Li Xiao's soldiers who pushed the door was almost exhausted, the city gate was finally pushed open by a narrow slit of his body, and Tulubaihu and his soldiers at the forefront saw the opportunity and quickly drilled into it like loaches.

At this time, this Gu Shihan, who was in the lead, seemed to be in a state of rage, he was like a fierce beast, and the big knife in his hand quickly slashed at the defenders who were desperately closing the door on both sides, like crazy.

The Tibetan army, who was shutting the door hard, was caught off guard, and in an instant, three or four people screamed and were cut to the ground by him.

When the defenders who closed the gate drew their swords to defend themselves, the city gate was pushed open faster and faster, and the gap in the city gate became larger and larger, and a large number of Tulubaihu soldiers frantically squeezed in from the city gate.

"Boom!" With a bang, the north gate finally opened. Outside, the Tulubai Amber soldiers rushed into the city with shouts and fought with the surrounding defenders.

Tulu Baihu then ordered his troops to divide into two divisions, respectively to attack the city wall and charge the city pass, and make sure to open the situation.

At this point, the Tibetan army that poured into the city of Lhasa was divided into two routes, one side desperately resisted the defenders who kept pouring from all around, and the other way, led by Tulu Baihu himself, attacked the city head to lower the drawbridge, and opened the passage into the city for the troops outside the moat of the Don army.

Although most of the men led by Tulubaihu were cavalry, these cavalry were also quite brave when they fought on foot, and they rushed through the horse road and went straight to the city wall, and for a while, no one could stop them.
