Further, Tibetan forces in two forts in the village were caught "between two fires" as the garrison at Changlo Manor joined the fight. On 28 June a final obstacle to assaulting Gyantse Dzong was overcome when the Tsechen monastery, to the north-west, and the fortress that guarded its rear were cleared by two companies of Gurkhas, the 40th Pathans and two waves of infantry. Since the monastery had offered resistance it was considered fit to loot – several old and valuable thankas duly surfaced at Christie's later in the summer and were sold for high prices.
The Tibetan forces defending two forts within a village found themselves caught between two opposing armies, as the garrison at Changlo Manor joined the conflict. On June 28th, the final obstacle to capturing Gyantse Dzong was overcome when Gurkhas, Pathans, and infantry cleared the Tsechen monastery and its rear fortress. The monastery's resistance led to its looting, with several valuable Tibetan religious artifacts later being sold at Christie's auction house.
