677 The Last Days of Tibet (1)
When the heavens, places, and people are on the same side, then the solution of one thing will be doomed, just as once the pattern of killing and breaking the wolf is formed, the world will change hands irreversibly - killing is the seven evils, the thieves who disturb the world, the mob army and the god religion; Broken, it is a broken army, a general who dominates the world, the thirteen generals of the Tang Dynasty are brave and unstoppable; The wolf is a greedy wolf, a treacherous and cunning man, and Suning is also ......
Although Suning doesn't like this title very much, and he doesn't like to be called a treacherous and cunning person, he is obviously Wei Guangzheng, but in this historical event, he can only acquiesce to this title with a shy face.
Kill, Break, Wolf!
The last days of Tibet have come.
The Tang army of 100,000 troops marched south to Tibet, since January, the northern territory of Tubo has been basically broken, almost no organized and threatening resistance, the leading party has gloriously completed their mission, the Tang army has destroyed dozens of large or small settlements that the northerners of Tubo have built with great difficulty in sneak attacks, night attacks, fire attacks, frontal attacks and many other ways, and those who resist inside are killed, and those who do not resist are all captured and handed over to the standing army that follows.
More than half of the territory of Tibet has been occupied by the Tang army, and there is almost no resistance, the whole of Tibet has long been a mess, Songtsen Gampo has been established with great difficulty to establish the grassroots political organization was completely destroyed by the Shenming Religion, and the control measures established by the Shenming Religion to integrate politics and religion were destroyed by the mob under the banner of Taoism and Buddhism, and Tubo was completely chaotic.
The largest and last living force in the whole of Tibet was concentrated in the city of Luoqi, which was divided into three forces. On the one hand, there is the Tubo government army of Songtsen Gampo, on the other hand, there is the sectarian guard army belonging to the Shenming Sect, and finally there is the mob army belonging to Scar's individual, which is also his greatest reliance on Tubo.
During this period of time, due to the desperate resistance of Songtsen Gampo, the attack was not smooth, and the largest and strongest city of Luoqi in Tibet may have been only a small county town in the Tang Dynasty, but it was indeed the largest and strongest in Tibet, and it was not easy to attack, so Scar and the Shenming Sect simply began to negotiate in the process of attacking Luocheng - the policy of re-establishing the state of Tibet after the suppression of Songtsen Gampo forces.
Anyway, Scar will definitely be going to be Zampu, and then the Cult of the Gods will be promised the state religion. The leader of the Cult of the Gods can have the status of a great teacher. On an equal footing with the Tibetan Zanpu, they are in charge of secular power and divine power respectively, and the Zanpu does not interfere in the affairs of the Divine Sect, and the Divine Religion does not interfere in the government's affairs. The two are irrelevant. It should be treated differently from the situation in the past. At the same time, the two sides shared the tax revenue of Tibet, and 30% of the total amount went to the Shenming Sect for sectarian activities, and 70% to the Tibetan government.
Other than that. The Divine Sect can have a sect escort of less than 30,000 people and a maximum of 30,000 people, which is a permissible military force, except for Zampu's army, the only recognized military force in Tubo, you know, after those lords are eliminated, there are only three aspects left in Tubo that have military power, and after Songtsen Gampo is finished, Scar does not plan to decentralize military power, he is not a fool in the end, he still has a sense of centralization.
So this situation was determined, the two sides shook hands peacefully, signed a treaty, made a blood alliance, and decided to jointly establish the Great Tubo Empire after Songtsen Gampo, without coloring any country, even if it was the Tang Dynasty, it would fight and fight with him, and he would definitely not admit defeat, never give in, and kill all the Tang people who could be seen, even those merchants, and the so-called embassy, as well as the group of Taoist and Buddhist people, all of them must be killed!
The Han people are going to die!
Scar also hates Buddhism and Taoism for some reason, and he doesn't have any good feelings for good people for some reason, but it doesn't matter, Datang also has no good impression of him, and he doesn't plan to treat Tubo as a vassal state, but directly into the administrative division of Datang, Tubo will be removed from now on, and will no longer be allowed to appear, and all those who dare to resist Datang will be killed, no one will be left, absolutely nothing.
When Scar signed a contract with the Divine Cult, the defense of the city led by Songtsen Gampo was also coming to an end, and the army could not hold out for long due to the lack of food and water, and the problem of the army's combat effectiveness was drastically reduced due to the heavy losses of the elite army was really difficult to deal with, the skilled army was almost dead, and the army that was later recruited had no combat effectiveness at all, just a rabble.
The mob legion was rebuilt by the general's scar, and it can already be regarded as a fighting army, and the Guardian Army of the Divine Sect was formed earlier, and after more battles, it has long been familiar with the battlefield and can fight, except for the government army of Songtsen Gampo left, the number of strong men temporarily recruited is too large, and the regular army lost in the previous war is too much, so that the city of Raksha suffered heavy losses in the defense of the city, but there is nothing to defend.
The outer city has basically fallen, only the inner city is still in the dead defense, the mob legion and the god cult guard legion are increasingly strong combat effectiveness, has gradually surpassed the combat effectiveness of the Tubo government army, Scar's combat command ability is also gradually improving, coupled with the professional guidance of the night, so that Songtsen Gampo is constantly deflated, and the generals who have combat experience around him have suffered heavy casualties.
Eight generals have been lost in more than a month, and now there are less than five generals who can still command the army to fight, and Songtsen Gampo basically needs to organize defense, organize the army to resist, and personally fight with the mob army and the god sect guard legion, often in danger, but because of this, the fighting will of the Tibetan government army has not collapsed, and they can continue to fight against the mob army and the god sect guard army.
However, Rao is so, Songtsen Gampo also feels very difficult, not only the lack of food, but also because of the shortage of combat equipment, the shortage of military materials, and the whole city is surrounded, the weapons ordered from Datang can not be transported in, the Datang embassy also expressed helplessness about this, they are also very tight, Songtsen Gampo really feels a little desperate, there is no food, you can eat something else, but the weapon is gone, the fight is over, others take steel knives and they only have fists, how to fight?
Damn, where did those rebels get so many weapons? Except for the lack of siege weapons, those individual weapons are really sophisticated. The Datang arsenal of the Tubo government army is empty, and the original arsenal of its own production is almost empty, and the weapons produced by themselves cannot be compared with the weapons of the rebels at all.
It usually takes several government soldiers to fight against a mob legion and a soldier of the Cult of the Gods, and Songtsen Gampo felt very difficult and worried, and he did not sleep well and eat, and he even secretly ordered his men to dig tunnels from the palace to the outside. Prepare to escape with a group of elite troops. And the most important thing is to protect your children and family, that is your hope for the future!
In case the Tang army is too late to come here to support, then flee. Flee to the south. There are also countries there. And the army, I'm going to use their army to fight back, fight back. Recovering the lost territory and re-establishing their own Tibet, of course, this is a situation where there is no way out, as long as there is still a little possibility, you must not give up, you must not abandon the national capital, the national capital is still there, the political power is still there, the country is gone, and you will become a government in exile.
This is also the last region that can provide itself to continue to govern Tibet, and if you lose it, you really have to leave, and then Xu Tu will raise it later.
Songtsen Gampo is not willing to abandon his kingdom and flee for his life no matter what, this is the last resort, now the cannon fodder army has not been used up, not to the last moment, he still has an elite army of 5,000 people, an elite army of 5,000 people, specially designed to protect his last force, everyone rides horses, this is the last elite force, and at the last moment it is completely possible to fight with the rebels of 50,000 people and defeat them to ensure that they are not in danger.
Everything must be left behind, otherwise someone will break through the hole cards, but it will be over.
At the same time, Scar and the Divine Cult are also planning the final general attack on Songtsen Gampo, Songtsen Gampo has run out of water, they understand, and their own side of the Songtsen Gampo after the destruction of the spoils is almost over, a qiē should have a break, the longer the war drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the Great Tubo, we must do our best to kill the Songtsen Gampo immediately, and then set out to establish a new Great Tubo Empire.
So on the third day, a 100,000 people attacked 120,000 people to defend the third battle of the city, Scar and Hei Ye personally supervised the battle, and ordered the mob legion and the god cult guard legion to form a joint army with the most elite 100,000 troops to launch the final general attack on the city, and Songtsen Gampo will not sit and wait for death, except for the last 5,000 elite troops who saved their lives, the last 120,000 troops were all put into defense, and some troops went out of the city to make a suicidal attack under the witness of Songtsen Gampo, Since it was completely annihilated.
However, the annihilation of their entire army won a glimmer of life for the Tibetan government army, that is, the siege weapons of the mob army and the alliance of the Guardian Legion of the Gods were destroyed a lot, and the number of troops that could climb the city wall for attack at the same time was reduced, and the attack of the rebel coalition army that the government army needed to deal with was also much weaker.
Songtsen Gampo fought for himself for a period of time to correct, of course, he knew that this time would not be long, and he paid a great price to make the rebel coalition stop the attack, but they themselves did not lose too many soldiers and horses, so Songtsen Gampo knew that the next round of general attacks would come soon.
Two days later, the second round of general attack began, this time the rebel coalition army was more fully prepared, and used elite soldiers to protect the siege tools, and carried out a precise attack on the Tubo government army that repeated the old tricks, so that it could not approach the position of the siege tools at all, and lost a large number of men and horses in vain, Songtsen Gampo wore a battle armor and a black face to personally participate in the battle to defend the city, and fought to the death with the enemy, a long sword was used by him to the gods, all the enemy troops who climbed the wall were cut down by him, under his drive, The Tibetan government forces repelled repeated attacks by the rebel coalition.
However, this is not enough, far from enough, at least for the rebel coalition with abundant military strength, this is far from enough, but the loss of the government army is stricter for the government army itself, so for this, Songtsen Gampo has understood how long he can not support it, if the army of the Tang Dynasty does not come again, it is estimated that it will be very soon, and in less than half a month, the city of Luo will be broken because there is no army to defend it.
There is really no way, it can't be held, the number of troops has plummeted, the loss of weapons is strict, and it can't be replenished, a large number of soldiers can only use sharpened sticks and even other things, even farm tools have been used, and they can't hold out for too long, it is estimated that they will have to defend the city with stones and clods of soil in the future, and it has reached this point, Songtsan Gampo really can't think of any other way to defend the city, if the army of the Tang Dynasty doesn't come again, it will be really a big deal............ (To be continued......)
