Chapter 404: Ancient Battlefield

Throughout the history of China, all the major wars since ancient times have been conflicts and wars between the Chinese agricultural civilization and the nomadic civilization in northern China. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Many dynasties that had been in China for a long time were defeated by the northern nomads.

And these northern nomads who came to dominate the Central Plains were quickly assimilated by the Chinese civilization in the following decades or hundreds of years, and many of them even forgot their own bloodline. Collectively referred to as Han.

Therefore, the nomadic civilization in the north of China and the agricultural civilization in the Central Plains of China can be regarded as an entanglement of grievances. In the grasslands of northern China, along the line of the Great Wall to the north, there have been countless battles. Countless people have been killed in battle, and there are countless ancient battlefields.

If you look at the history of China, you will know that at the junction of nomadic civilization and agricultural civilization, at the junction of nomadic and agricultural cultivation areas, almost every city, large and small, has been used as an important border town. There have been countless fights. There are countless people who have shed their blood on this land.

Among the so many people who died in battle, it is too abnormal to have a few ghosts. Although, ghosts are rejected by this heaven and earth. There is often thunder. However, if you are careful. There are not a few who have survived to this day.

However, these ancient battlefields have been worn by time for a long time, and they have been overgrown with wild grass, and they are not much different from other places.

The only ancient battlefield that can still be clearly identified today, the only place where there are still many legends, and even among the grasses, you can still find some rusty arrow clusters or broken blades, which is the place where the battle between Emperor Kangxi and Geldan was located in the former Qing Dynasty - from Ulan Butong to Zhaomoduo!

According to historical records, in 1690 AD, the 29th year of the Qing Dynasty Emperor Kangxi. Emperor Kangxi of the former Qing Dynasty led 200,000 soldiers and horses to a decisive battle with the remnants of the Mongols, the Khan of the Dzungar Khanate, and the leader of the Eruts in Ulan Butong.

Although Galdan is also a generation of heroes. But I don't know the truth of forbearance. Before his strength had accumulated to the peak, he repeatedly provoked the Central Plains. Emperor Kangxi took advantage of his fledgling wings to force Galdan to fight a decisive battle. It's a good fighter.

At the time of the decisive battle, the Galdan army was no more than 20,000 people. Although the soldiers are strong. Occupy favorable terrain. And use camel formations to fight against Qing artillery fire. However, after all, they were defeated by the Qing army. After a few hours of fierce fighting, the camel formation was bombarded by the Qing army's artillery fire.

Galdan led his troops to retreat into the mountains and forests, defending the danger. However, Tong Guogang, the uncle of Emperor Kangxi and the minister of the interior, led the Qing army to find the halfway up the mountain along the riverbank and defeated Galdan's insistence. After a day and a night of fierce fighting, both sides suffered numerous casualties. The lake was stained red with blood. Emperor Kangxi's uncle and Minister of the Interior Tong Guogang died in battle.

Although Galdan escaped by crossing the Sila Mulun River at night. However, Emperor Kangxi led the crowd in pursuit. Let Galdan run for his life. By the time they retreated to Kobdo, there were only three or two thousand of Galdan's men left.

Galdan dared to be outnumbered, and he imitated many examples of the ancestor Genghis Khan's expeditions to the east and the west. Genghis Khan, whether in the unification of the Mongol tribes or in foreign wars, did not win more with less. In particular, in the Battle of Yehuling, which decided to "raise the golden decline", the Mongolian tribe defeated more than 400,000 gold soldiers with 90,000 people.

However, times change. The method of conquest and plunder pursued by Galdan has long been outdated. Undefeated is strange.

After his defeat, Galdan planned to feed his war and plunder resources. Therefore, he still invaded Khalkha, blackmailed Sotu Shetu Khan and Jebtsundamba, united vertically and horizontally, and unified the Mongolian tribes. Gather your strength and prepare for another battle. Even, the borrowed soldiers were borrowed from the polar bears.

So, after a lapse of five years, in September of the 34th year of the reign of the Qing Emperor Kangxi, Galdan once again gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Khalkha Mongolian tribes. This time, Emperor Kangxi already knew about Galdan's catties. Therefore, the soldiers and horses brought with him were only half of the battle of Ulan Butong.

Moreover, the troops were divided into three ways to attack Galdan. This time, Galdan's performance was not as good as the last time. Although there are 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, there are only 2,000 elites. When the others saw the Qing army coming across the desert and appeared in front of them, they threw down their tents and equipment and ran away. There was not even a hint of resistance.

Therefore, this battle was far easier than the battle of Ulan Butong. The Qing army captured more than 100 people and beheaded more than 2,000. In other words, the Qing army wiped out the elites who fled with Galdan last time. Others, because they run fast. So he escaped the catastrophe. In this battle, Galdan fled. But there are only a few cronies left. Even his wife was compensated. Since then, it has not been a threat.

Although it is said that Galdan will not surrender until death, he can be regarded as a generation of heroes. However, in the following year of the Battle of Chaomodo, Galdan suddenly fell ill and died on the banks of the Buyantu River on his way to Eheirar for some reason. Dead in the muddle.

The struggle between Galdan and the former Qing lasted for more than ten years. In the course of Galdan's invasion and conquest of the Mongol tribes, at least tens of thousands of people were killed. In the two battles between Galdan and the former Qing army, the Qing soldiers and Galdan troops killed at least tens of thousands of people.

Countless civilians have been implicated in the war and have died. Combined, I'm afraid there will be more than 100,000 people. Among these 100,000 dead people, it is absolutely normal for thousands, or even thousands, of ghosts to appear.

Moreover, Yunlei has another idea. Whether it is the Qing army or the Galdan tribes, they all started with cavalry and archery. The riding and archery kung fu of the Manchu Eight Banners that broke through the Ming Dynasty is also very good. So, in this campaign, in addition to the 100,000 dead. I'm afraid there will be a large number of war horses killed in battle.

After these war horses die in battle, many of them will turn into ghosts in this ancient battlefield where yin qi is concentrated. If you can subdue these horses. Then, the Yin soldiers under Yun Lei will directly change from slow-moving infantry to extremely mobile motorized soldiers and even armored soldiers. The combat effectiveness will rise sharply again.

This is much better than simply subduing the Yin soldiers!

Yun Lei used the map to find out where Zhao Moduo and Ulan Butong were located. "Zhao Moduo" means big forest in Mongolian, and it is now located in Nanzong Yingde, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. And Ulan Butong is still the old name today. It is located in the southwest of Chifeng Keshiketeng Banner.

Then, Yun Lei set off. When he travels now, he doesn't have to buy any tickets and plane tickets at all. There is the power of space teleportation in the space hoist, as long as there is a satellite locator and a detailed map. That's just walking. No matter how big the world is, it is not a problem to see where you want to go.
