In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.

This "Goddess's Breast Wrap" was widely publicized and delivered to the Tibetans over the next few days.

Within the territory of Tuyuhun, there were many Tibetans and Bon followers. The appearance of the goddess's breast wrap caused a sensation!

This is not just a simple provocation and humiliation; it is a slap in the face to the entire theocratic system of the Tibetan Empire, a crushing blow to the religion followed by all Tibetans, even more humiliating than simply trampling on it.

The Tibetan army was furious!

The Tibetan Empire was furious.

Countless clergy members of the Bon religion issued the harshest accountability measures, and many were executed overnight to cover up the scandal of the goddess's breast wrap.

In mid-November, the Bon religion abolished Tsangyang Shuituo's status as a goddess, regarding her as a traitor and a defilement.

Meanwhile, the Tibetan army at the front line, having reached its limit of tolerance, officially launched a retaliation.

The retreating Dayan Mangbuzhi suddenly split into three groups, descending from the plateau simultaneously to launch surprise attacks on Qinghai Lake, Guduo Pasture, and the southern plains.

They moved with incredible speed, traveling day and night, choosing the flattest and most suitable locations for cavalry attacks, avoiding easily defensible and difficult-to-attack places like Fuai City.

They wanted to take revenge through looting, killing and leaving, using human heads to respond to the "Goddess's Breast Wrap" incident.

Theoretically speaking, if cavalry wanted to launch a surprise attack on the plains, especially with the top-tier cavalry of the Tibetan Empire, it should have been a piece of cake.

But this time, the three Tibetan armies ran into a brick wall again, and were ambushed by the Far East Army!

As soon as the goddess's breast wrapping cloth was sent out, Li Yuanchang knew that the angry Tibetans would definitely retaliate, and he had guessed their target correctly.

Qinghai Lake.

Rumble!

"Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up!!"

The Tibetans moved like a black torrent at high speed, instantly shifting from one end of the lake to the other, their waists adorned with curved swords, fierce and valiant.

Just as they were getting closer to the attack site, large numbers of Far Eastern cavalry suddenly appeared on both sides of the ground line.

The flags of the Far East blot out the sky!

"Tang army!"

"It's the Tang army!"

"How did they get here?!"

The Tibetans were terrified.

In the past, they might have simply pushed forward with their large army and crushed the enemy with their powerful cavalry.

However, still traumatized by Han Lei's attack, they had yet to find a good way to control themselves. After being discovered for about twenty breaths, Dayan Mangbuzhi ordered his men to quickly sound the retreat horn.

The horns blared loudly, and the Tibetan army immediately halted their horses, attempting to turn around.

But with so many troops charging so fast, stopping was no easy task; the momentum alone propelled the cavalry forward a hundred paces.

When they tried to turn back, the Far East Army had already arrived.

"Dayan Mangbuzhi, I have been waiting for you for a long time, on the orders of the King of the Far East!"

"Dismount and surrender, and I'll spare your life!" Xue Rengui, dressed in white robes and a silver helmet, wielding a halberd, led the charge, followed by the invincible Far Eastern cavalry rolling in.

The people in the front row are all holding Han Lei (a type of firearm).

The Tibetans treated him as if he were their ancestor.

"withdraw!"

"Retreat immediately!!"

Dayan Mangbuzhi realized he had fallen into a trap, roared angrily, and frantically turned his horse around.

But such a shift will take time.

Their haste and the Far Eastern army's well-prepared and surging offensive formed a stark contrast.

"Rush!"

"Kill them!!"

Rumble!

The ground trembled, and even the plants and trees were terrified.

boom! !

Just as the massive black torrent completed its turn, it was violently struck in the lower half by the Far East Army, with a force as heavy as a raging wave crashing against a reef.

"ah!!"

In that instant, a large number of Tibetans were swept up in it, falling over and turning into bloody mud.

When they realized they couldn't get rid of the Far East Army, they tried to resist, but then came the Hanlei explosion that fell from the sky.

Bang bang bang!

Flames shot skyward, shrapnel flew everywhere, constantly piercing their bodies—a gruesome sight.

The Tibetans were caught in a dilemma. Dayan Mangbuzhi looked grim, but he knew that staying meant certain annihilation. He could only abandon a small portion of his troops to ensure that the main force could leave.

"Giddy up, giddy up!!"

He led the main force in the direction they had come from to break through, completely ignoring his subordinates behind him.

This resulted in at least two thousand Tibetan cavalrymen being surrounded, overtaken by the Far East Army, and suffering a crushing defeat, with many dying in the process.

Moreover, his main force had not shaken off the pursuit of the Far East Army. The two sides maintained a distance of about a hundred paces and galloped wildly, with two torrents of dust rising up on Qinghai Lake.

"Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up!!"

"Chase!"

"Release the arrows!"

Xue Rengui led his troops to victory after victory.

Ahead, Tibetans were constantly struck by arrows and fell from their horses, and then, in despair, were riddled with cavalrymen, their bodies never to be found.

The Tibetans were extremely frustrated. Their forces outnumbered the Far Eastern Army by at least three times, yet they dared not stop to fight, not even having the courage to look back. They could only flee.

This was unprecedented in the history of the Tibetan Empire, and the blow to the army's confidence was unimaginable.

All of this is because of Han Lei!

Besides the 10,000-strong cavalry force personally led by Dayan Mangbuzhi, two other Tibetan cavalry units were ambushed and pursued.

From God's perspective, beneath the clouds, three high-speed black torrents swept across the land of Tuyuhun, moving from east to west.

Because the eastern side of Tuyuhun is all plains, it is a paradise for cavalry, and it is impossible to keep people there unless they are surrounded on all sides.

Therefore, the Far Eastern Army only pursued and relentlessly chased after them, but in fact failed to trap the Tibetans in one place for a hunt.

But this was also part of Li Yuanchang's plan. He knew it was impossible to keep the people, so his core objective was to drive all the Tibetans to one place.

This makes it easier to encircle and suppress, and also easier to defend. If the enemy's forces are too scattered, while you are encircling and suppressing them, they can send thousands of people to secretly attack the rear. The Far East Army will then be caught in a situation where it cannot take care of both ends.

After all, this is Tuyuhun, not the Central Plains, where there are fortified cities everywhere.

After a two-hour pursuit, the three Tibetan armies, driven by the Far East Army, began to gradually converge and merge.

Four hours later, the various Tibetan armies were deliberately driven together like herds of cattle and sheep.

Ultimately, just as Li Yuanchang had predicted, they were forced to join forces and retreat to a plateau.

"..."

"Report!!"

"Your Highness, it's a success!"

"It's a success!"

"Good news from the front: Xue Rengui, Wan Jun, and Yuan Tuo's three forces have successfully ambushed the Tibetan army and forced the main force of Dayan Mangbuzhi into the Gongwang Plateau west of Tuyuhun in the dead of night."

"Our army has completed the blockade; the Tibetan army is completely trapped up there!"

The scouts, panting heavily, ran all the way into the palace.

Upon hearing this, a burst of excited shouts erupted throughout the palace: "Good!"

"OK!"

"Your Highness is incredibly resourceful! Your Highness is incredibly resourceful!"

"Let's see how they manage to appear and disappear like ghosts now, ambushing and plundering everywhere!"
