The climate of the Potala Palace in May is pleasant, which is neither hot nor cold.

The perennial snow on the high mountains in the distance, and the warm spring flowers at the foot of the mountains are full of greenery, presenting a rare and beautiful scenery of green and white in the Central Plains.

The sweet snow water flows slowly from the mountain, and the cattle and sheep in pieces flick their tails leisurely, gnawing on the sweet green grass.

This beautiful scenery and suitable climate are a good time for outings. If you invite two or three friends to drink tea, paint, and recite poems, it must be excellent.

It's a pity that the bursts of murderous aura in the air completely disrupted this beautiful scene.

Let this beautiful picture scroll of mountains and rivers be covered by bursts of killing, and the beautiful scroll is also stained with bursts of blood red.

At the beginning of May in the fourth year of Hongxi, invited by the Karmapa, the other two Dharma Kings and the Five Great Teaching Kings led their respective guards and entourages to the Potala Palace.

(I entered the small black house yesterday because of the place name, so I always used the Potala Palace instead.)
As for the right to lead the army, the Karmapa did not compete with them, and gave up the command of his own army.

Anyway, no matter how you fight this battle, you will lose. Not only is it not beneficial to be the top bird for a while, but it will also leave a bad reputation afterwards. It is better to simply give up the power and let those bastards fight to the death.

In the end, after fighting openly and secretly, the Mahayana Dharma King gained command and took over the defense arrangement of the entire Potala Palace.

According to the information sent by the Karmapa, the plateau has assembled a total of 12 troops, and another 8 serf army, plus miscellaneous auxiliary arms, the plateau has about 23 troops.

Such a huge legion is really rare on the whole plateau, and it is estimated that only Songtsan cadres in the Tang Dynasty can show such a strong strength.

The Mahayana Dharma King is not an honest monk who can only read scriptures. When he traveled to the Central Plains, he read Sun Tzu’s Art of War and 36 Strategies in the Central Plains.

Although this guy has bragging elements in it, he still has his own strength.

The arrangement of the various armies and the stationing of defensive locations are well-organized.

I know that Daming's artillery is powerful, and I've also heard that Daming has a thing that can throw cannonballs in the sky.

The Mahayana Dharma King asked the army to dig out big holes by relying on the defensive points.

Tell the soldiers that if Daming fires a cannon or something strange flies in the sky and drops a bomb, they should get into the hole to avoid the bombing of Daming.

In addition, he also built countless defensive walls throughout the Potala Palace area, dug countless trenches, and arranged countless traps.

When all preparations were completed, the Mahayana Dharma King proudly announced to everyone that the defense of the entire Potala Palace could be said to be impenetrable.

However, after repairing all kinds of traps and defensive walls on his front feet, and walking around chanting sutras on his back feet every day, praying for the soldiers, the great treasure dharma king sent the defense map he secretly drew to Zhu Zhangui's hands.

"His Royal Highness, the leading attacking army has arrived at the attack position, and the other troops are ready to be called. Once the front position is breached, they will immediately join in and expand the results of the battle."

Three miles away from the defensive position of the Potala Palace, Jiang Huai, the commander of the Second Army and concurrently serving as the deputy commander, strode towards Zhu Zhangui, who was watching the artillery laying out the position, and saluted and reported.

Zhu Zhangui, who was looking at the arrangement of thousands of cannons, nodded slightly.

This time when attacking the plateau, Da Ming could be said to have played his trump card, and almost all the heavy weapons that could be pulled over were drawn over.

This is not out of Daming Xian's pain, there are too many shells and nowhere to shoot, but to give the plateau a shock.

The plateau is different from other areas. The environment here is harsh, and people with poor health can't bear it at all when they come here.

After recovering here, there will not be too many troops stationed here.

So in order to prevent these plateau guys from making mistakes in the future, Daming must teach them a profound lesson.

What lessons can be remembered deeply?
In Zhu Zhangui's view, only an explosion that is as dense as a rainstorm and shakes the sky and the earth can make these plateau people deeply imprint fear in their bones.

Let them think of this day like a nightmare whenever they have the idea of ​​rebellion.

In order to bring these thousands of cannons to the Potala Palace area, Daming had exhausted all his efforts.

In addition to carrying people on their shoulders, the existing airships of Ming Dynasty fly in the sky non-stop every day, transporting artillery shells one by one.

After a month of preparation, thousands of artillery pieces and supporting shells were finally delivered to the front line a few days ago.

In addition, Daming also prepared 15 rocket launchers and nearly 2000 rockets.

Anyway, it is to blast to the death, trying to destroy all the opponent's defensive positions before the infantry attacks.

"Your Highness, this is the first time we have fought so richly since we had artillery!"

"Okay, there are thousands of cannons. I, Lao Jiang, have been fighting for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen so many cannons gathered together."

Looking at the cannons with their muzzles up to the sky, Jiang Huai secretly swallowed.

How much he thought in his heart that after the war was over, all these artillery pieces would be left behind.

But thinking so, he didn't dare to move at all.

The head of the legion to which these cannons belonged was not a vegetarian. If he dared to keep these cannons, even if the crown prince came forward, those eager bastards would dare to charge up and chop him alive with their knives.

Artillery is the confidence of a legion these days, and the commanders of each legion are very strict. Let alone losing one, it will take a few days to feel distressed if one is broken.

Although these cannons may not be able to stay, but the dozen or so rocket launchers, he Jianghuai is going to order, and it is useless for anyone to come.

Zhu Zhangui smiled slightly, returned to the resting place beside him, sat down and said, "Yes, in our whole Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that only the prodigal sons of the navy have fought such a rich battle."

Jiang Huai nodded in agreement.

To be honest, if he had known that the navy would develop into what it is today, he would have slapped his face and rolled around, and would have changed with Li Hu.

Although he is currently working in the army, he is actually a sailor himself. If he hadn't worshiped Zhang Fu as his teacher later and learned the skills of land warfare, he might not be sure. He is just an ordinary army now, and he still looks This is Zhu Zhangui's confidant's sake.

Picking up the teacup on the table and sipping it, Zhu Zhangui frowned, spit out the tea in his mouth, and ordered to Jianghuai: "Next, the artillery will conduct shelling for half an hour. After the shelling is over, order the forward army, Immediately launch an attack on the enemy's position."

"Tell my brothers, tonight, I'm going to celebrate everyone's success in the Potala Palace, if you want to eat roasted whole cow, work harder!"

"Oh, by the way, by the way, tell the insider on the opposite side of us to hide, it's going to rain later."

Speaking of insiders, Zhu Zhangui pondered for a while, and whispered: "Don't rely on the other party's information, we can't confirm this situation, and sometimes not only will it not work, but it will have the opposite effect, so you must tell Officers on the front lines must fight according to their own judgment."

"Yes!"

Jiang Huai nodded solemnly, raised his hand in salute, turned around and ran to the front line.

For selfish reasons, when arranging the attacking troops, his deputy commander used some small rights to arrange his Second Army Corps to the front position.

To be honest, the entire army, from Jianghuai to ordinary soldiers, did not pay attention to the soldiers on the plateau at all.

It's not that they despise each other's combat effectiveness, but that the gap between the two sides' armament strength is too great.

The troops on the plateau this time, ten legions, are all armed with third-generation rifles.

Coupled with the internal heavy machine gun and small-caliber artillery, and the configuration of the new light machine gun, it is almost no worse than the troops during World War I and World War II.

As for the plateau people on the opposite side, all of them are equipped with cold weapons, and there are no artillery at all. The heavy equipment is still very old trebuchets and siege crossbows.

In addition, many soldiers on the plateau didn't even have armor, and some even didn't even have weapons, and they still held bone spears tied with wood in their hands.

Moreover, the other party has no professional training at all. Many soldiers themselves farm part-time, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are militiamen.

A unit with poor weapons, outdated equipment, outdated training, and weak will is no challenge at all for the most elite army of Ming Dynasty.

That is to say, the plateau is a special environment, and it is unknown whether the opponent can withstand a shock from the Ming army if it is replaced by a plain battlefield.

A moment before the hour of Xu, the artillery group that had already set up the artillery was quietly waiting for the order to start.

Returning to Zhu Zhangui's side again, Hu Yu, who once again served as the captain of the guard, walked to the side of the artillery commander with a small red flag in his hand.

"His Royal Highness has an order!"

The commander-in-chief of the artillery stood at attention, and Hu Yu handed the small red flag to the other party, conveying Zhu Zhangui's order, "The signal flares fly, fire immediately!"

"Yes!"

The commander-in-chief answered the order, raised his hand in salute, ran to the command position quickly, and raised the small red flag in his hand high.

"Every gun listens to the order and prepares!"

The rest of the commanders also raised their flags and shouted loudly.

"Wow!"

The artillerymen on standby moved one after another, and the ammunition hand took out the shells from the box next to it, quickly came to the side of the flat artillery, and stuffed the shells in under the command of the gunner.

"Crack!"

The gun bay was closed, the gunner shouted the ruler, and the rest of the artillerymen shook the steering handle vigorously, and the flat muzzle was slowly raised, pointing to the plateau position in the distance.

"Ready, ready..."

The sound of preparations kept ringing, and the gunner holding the gun rope looked at the commander holding the red flag beside him.

The noisy position fell silent. Except for the gunner who stood up and pulled the cannon god, the other artillerymen all squatted on the ground, quietly waiting for the next busy.

"Okay, I see, now hide!"

In the Potala Palace, the Karmapa, who knew that the battle was going to start today, hid in the room early in the morning.

Of course, in order to prevent outsiders from saying that he was timid to fight, he declared to the public that he was chanting scriptures in his house to pray and bless the soldiers who fought.

Whether it is really praying and blessing outsiders don't know, anyway, the sound of chanting scriptures can be heard in his room.

With the passage of time, the Karmapa suffered unbearably in his heart.

On the one hand, it is the guilt of the person who betrayed him, and on the other hand, he is worried about his life.

The sword has no eyes, and he can't guarantee whether he can survive the bombardment later.

This time, Ming didn't show mercy. In order to deal the biggest blow to the enemy, Daming didn't care about the Potala Palace, an important building, and focused on shooting directly.

In Zhu Zhangui's words, the lives of my soldiers are more precious than some worthless broken stones and wood.

In this way, the Karmapa was suffering from inner torment while waiting for that moment to come.

Finally, when he was about to be unable to bear the torment in his heart, the thing called a walkie-talkie that Daming gave him was not working at all times, and it was finally reliable, and the voice came out.

The other person told him that Daming was ready to attack, and asked him to find a safe place to hide, and when necessary, come out to gather the morale of the army and persuade the soldiers to put down their weapons and surrender.

Putting away this miraculous thing that could speak, the Karmapa got down from the meditation bed, picked up the soft things that he had packed up a long time ago, and prepared to go to the hiding place he had found long ago.

"Boom, boom, Dharma King, the Mahayana Dharma King is looking for you."

The Dabao Dharma King was just getting ready, and before he could take a step, there was a knock on the door.

Looking at the figure outside the door and the package in his hand, the Karmapa frowned and sighed slightly, hid the package again, coughed lightly, "Hey, here we come." He walked towards the door.

The door opened, and a monk appeared in front of him.

This person is known to the Great Treasure Dharma King and is the personal living Buddha of the Mahayana Dharma King.

"Is there anything the Mahayana Dharma King wants to do with me? I'm still chanting scriptures here. If there's nothing important, don't bother me."

The personal Living Buddha of the Mahayana Dharma King sneaked a look at the room behind the Mahayana Dharma King, and after seeing nothing unusual, he replied with a smile: "The Mahayana Dharma King heard that you have also traveled in the Central Plains for a long time, so I want to invite you to go and observe the defense. Position, see if there is anything missing."

The Great Treasure King frowned, and shook his head slightly, "This... the Mahayana King has found the wrong person. Although I have traveled in the Central Plains, I have never been in contact with the military formation, so I don't know much about it, so I ask him to invite another Be smart!"

After speaking, the Karmapa will close the door.

Seeing that the other party was about to close the door, the close living Buddha of the Mahayana Dharma King stepped forward to block the door, reached out and grabbed the hand of the Great Treasure Dharma King, and said something with a smile on his face.

"Dharma King, please don't embarrass the poor monk!"

"open!"

A cold light flashed in Dabao Dharma King's eyes, he clenched the prayer wheel with the other hand, and let out a low shout.

"Falun King offended!"

The Living Buddha close to the Mahayana Dharma King, not only did not let go, but sneered, and with a wave of his hands, two monks came up with swords in their hands, one on the left and the other on the right, holding the Dabao Dharma King.

At this time, the Mahayana Dharma King is not aimlessly targeting the Dharma King who has no rights.

Rather, he had already grasped a piece of information that the Dabao Dharma King had betrayed Gao Yuan and fell into Daming's arms.

He didn't believe it at first, and felt that with the other party's status, he wouldn't be able to do such a thing.

But the physical evidence is in front of him, so he can't believe it.

But in the end, he still wants to test it out to prevent mistakes. After all, the other party's identity is extraordinary, and his prestige among the people is still relatively heavy. Once he makes a mistake, he will lose his reputation and status. up.

So when he established a defensive position, he deliberately asked the other party to come over to take a look, and then sent someone to watch.

Sure enough, one night, the people he sent discovered that the Karmapa was secretly drawing his defense plan.

Having obtained sufficient evidence, the Mahayana Dharma King did not act immediately, but continued to let the opponent go, wandering around in his own position during the day.

He hoped that the other party would convey wrong information to Da Ming, causing Da Ming to suffer heavy losses on his defensive position.

In order to inflict heavy losses on Daming, he ordered the serfs and soldiers to work overtime at night to reform the positions.

Just this morning, Daming set up an offensive posture, and the Mahayana Dharma King knew that it was time to close the net.

After his own soldiers entered the position and formed a perfect defensive network, the Mahayana Dharma King sent his personal Living Buddha to arrest them.

He wants to use the head of the Great Treasure King to sacrifice his military flag, wish the plateau troops successfully defend the position, and severely hit the Ming army.

"What do you want to do, I am the Great Treasure King, if you touch me, the Buddha will not forgive you!"

Being held down by two monks, the Karmapa struggled desperately and shouted loudly, hoping to attract his few loyal soldiers and his soldiers.

"Great Treasure Dharma King, you don't need to yell. Your minions have already been arrested. Now you are yelling that every day should not be done, and the ground is not working."

"Also, you must be very clear about why we arrested you."

Seeing the Dabao Dharma King who was struggling hard and wanted to attract rescuers, the living Buddha close to the Mahayana Dharma King sneered and poured cold water on him mercilessly.

Then he leaned into the ear of the Dabao Dharma King and whispered: "Our Dharma King asked me to ask you, you should tell Daming all about the defense situation on our side!"

The struggling Dabao Dharma King was taken aback when he heard this, and stared at the living Buddha with wide eyes in disbelief.

Seeing its appearance like this, the personal Living Buddha of the Mahayana Dharma King was even more proud.

A person who used to be aloof is now being caught by him like a dog. The refreshing feeling is really indescribable.

Even when he was in a happy mood and felt that he was in control, he revealed something more.

"The person you sent to lead Daming was caught by our people when he came back. He has already explained everything."

The Dabao Karmapa's eyes paled instantly.

It's over, it turned out that all the secret actions he thought he had all fell into the eyes of the Mahayana Dharma King.

Now that Da Ming hasn't attacked yet, even if he launches an attack now, he can't wait, Da Ming has come to save him.

What's more, Daming was already ready to attack. Now that he hasn't hidden well, it is estimated that he will die in the artillery fire of Daming before the Mahayana Dharma King cuts off his head.

Thinking that he had planned everything but fell on a small person, the Karmapa's body collapsed in an instant.

"take away!"

Looking at the pale-eyed Dabao Dharma King, the personal living Buddha of the Mahayana Dharma King laughed, and waved his hand to take the Dabao Dharma King out to sacrifice the flag.

"grumble……"

But as soon as they took their steps, there was a piercing shrill sound from the direction of the Da Ming army in the distance.

Before they could understand what the sound was, bursts of piercing whistling sounds rushed towards the direction of the Daming army like waves.
