The Tibetan people believe in the Bon religion. During the period when Songtsan Gampo unified Tubo, the country's religion gradually changed, developing from the primitive Bon religion to the Yongzhong Bon religion. The so-called "Yongzhong Bon religion" is probably the original Bon religion.
A fusion of Buddhism and Tianzhu Buddhism.
It sounds complicated, so just kneel down.
To be pious in their faith, Tibetan generals never forget to worship the gods before going into battle and beg for their blessings.
Just like in the Muay Thai ring in later generations, the worship ceremony of both players was more beautiful than the official start of the fight.
Li Qinzai had no faith and didn't see the use of this temporary behavior. In his previous life, during every important exam, he would make offerings to the statues of sages and bow before hanging them. The sages are alive in heaven, so he must have despised this.
Just be stupid mortals.
The Tibetan general on the opposite side worshiped for a long time, but still showed no sign of stopping.
Li Qinzai doesn't have the habit of respecting other people's beliefs. Do you think we are stupid if you ask me to wait until you finish the ceremony and then kill us with swords? Who got used to your bad habits?
So Li Qinzai frowned and said in a deep voice: "Sun Congdong, advance with the gunman!"
Sun Congdong responded loudly, drew his sword and shouted: "Enter——!"
More than a thousand gunmen in the front row stepped forward together, maintaining their formation and approaching the Tibetan army step by step.
The Tibetan generals were still chanting, kneeling and dancing, and the worship ceremony was not over yet, but the Tang army on the opposite side had already launched an attack.
The Tubo general was a little panicked. This was because he did not follow martial ethics!
As the firecrackers approached step by step, the Tibetan generals became increasingly panicked.
In a panic, the movements of worshiping gods suddenly went out of shape. The Tubo general became more and more frustrated. The worship ceremony was dirty and the gods would not bless them...
The general was frightened and angry, but he was obviously a pious and stubborn man, still trying to complete the ceremony.
In the Tang army formation, Li Qinzai shouted again: "Song Jintu, cavalry, give them a hard blow first!"
Song Jintu waved down the flag in his hand, then clamped the horse's belly and rushed out first.
The cavalry on both sides moved at the same time, killing the Tibetan army on the opposite side fiercely from left to right.
The gunmen advanced on foot, leaving plenty of time for the Tibetan generals, but the cavalry came and went like the wind, arriving in the blink of an eye.
The Tubo generals finally realized that worshiping gods might not be possible anymore.
So he jumped up angrily, drew his sword and cursed a few times. Looking at the direction pointed by the tip of his sword, it was Li Qinzai who was in the rear formation.
As the Tibetan generals cursed, all the Tibetan troops moved into action. Thousands of people in the vanguard began to charge towards the gunmen in the front. At the same time, thousands of people from the central army were divided to kill the Tang army cavalry on both sides.
The two armies collided fiercely in the wilderness. At the same time, the Tibetan army's forward also rushed into the range of the fire gunners.
With the sound of "fire" and a burst of thick white smoke, countless Tibetan army forwards were hit, fell heavily to the ground, and were trampled mercilessly by the Tibetan army behind them.
Sun Congdong's command flag kept waving in the thick smoke, and shouted: "Hold down the position, line up at intervals, retreat when the ammunition is exhausted, fill up the rear row, and hurry up to reload ammunition in the rear section!"
In the rear formation, Li Qinzai was protected by his troops. Occasionally, a cold arrow shot at him, but he was knocked away by the sharp-eyed and quick-handed Old Wei.
Zi Nu was also surrounded by the tribesmen. He saw the two armies fighting with swords and swords, and countless lives died tragically in an instant. Zi Nu's pretty face couldn't help but turn pale, and his eyes revealed unconcealable horror.
Li Qinzai glanced at her and said, "You have followed Lu Dongzan since you were a child. Have you never seen such a scene?"
Zi Nu shook his head: "I haven't seen it before. I... rarely enter the army, and I have never witnessed the battle between the two armies."
Li Qinzai said: "Then you should close your eyes and wait until the war is over before opening them again. So I have said before that women should not get involved in the war. They dare not even look at it, let alone fight with real swords and guns..."
Zi Nu's face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I'm just not used to it. Although I have never fought with anyone, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. If you are in danger, I will definitely protect you."
Li Qinzai shook his head, not expecting it at all.
Seeing that the Tibetan army forwards were still rushing towards the front line regardless of their own safety, Li Qinzai frowned and shouted: "Sun Congdong, send a few sharpshooters, sneak around to the enemy's flanks, give the god-worshipping general a cold shot, and capture the thief and the king. We don't have time to waste."
it's here."
Sun Congdong nodded in understanding, and the three sharpshooters were removed from the team. After Sun Congdong whispered a few words, the sharpshooters quickly disappeared from the array, and no one was seen in the blink of an eye.
Zi Nu looked at the direction in which the three sharpshooters disappeared and hesitated to speak.
Li Qinzai glanced at her and said, "Don't look at it. The three-eyed gun has a farther range than a bow and arrow. As long as it is accurate enough, the Tibetan general will celebrate the Qingming Festival ahead of schedule."
Zi Nu lowered his head and said shyly: "I... I stole your three-eyed gun, which was not my intention..."
Li Qinzai smiled: "I know, otherwise you would have celebrated the Qingming Festival long ago. Since I released you in the first place, it means that I didn't care about this matter with you."
Zi Nu gave him a sideways look: "What 'freeing lives' means is really unpleasant."
The two exchanged a few words, but swords and arrows were still flying on the battlefield. The battle between the two sides was fierce. However, in general, the casualties of the Tang army were relatively small. The main reason was that the three-eyed blunderbuss took a big advantage and the Tubo army had no time to rush to Baidu.
Within a few steps, he was killed by a three-eyed gun.
Li Qinzai was still dissatisfied. He looked up at the sky and murmured: "Something is not good..."
Zi Nu said in shock: "The Tang army has the upper hand, what's wrong?"
Li Qinzai said solemnly: "Since Lu Dongzan arranged for the Tibetan army to block the road I must pass through, how could he be so rash and only send more than 10,000 people to guard it? With Lu Dongzan's calculations, it is impossible for him to commit such a major crime
mistake."
"you mean……"
Li Qinzai suddenly shouted: "Ah Si, beat the drum, let Song Jintu rush through and defeat the Tibetan army!"
Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard two gunshots from the flank of the Tibetan army. Li Qinzai raised his eyes and saw the worshiping Tibetan general covering his chest and falling down.
Li Qinzai was overjoyed: "The enemy is embarrassed, I will take off his clothes!"
"The enemy general has been commanded, let's stabilize our position, the enemy army is about to be in chaos!"
In the rebellious formation, the Tubo army, which was originally rigorous in attack and defense, began to become chaotic after a while. Not only did the formation have holes in it, but there were even deserters.
Li Qinzai originally did not expect the beheading tactic to be effective, but he did not expect that his sharpshooters would be so impressive.
"Bang the drum! The whole army attacks, the gunmen advance forward!" Li Qinzai shouted.
Although victory was clearly within his reach, Li Qinzai's expression did not show much joy, and instead he looked around uneasily.
This victory that was so close at hand was full of dangers for him.
The enemy general was beheaded. Sun Congdong and Song Jintu were overjoyed and were commanding the Tang army to pursue the victory.
But Li Qinzai suddenly said: "Ah Si, send a few troops to disperse from four directions and explore ten miles away."
