The Galdan army was all concentrated in the Krulun River valley, and it was very strong. At this moment, the charcoal fire in the general tent of Kangxi's camp was blazing, and dozens of arm-thick candles illuminated the inside and outside of the tent. Several princes who accompanied the expedition, Sunu, Suo Etu, Feiyangu, Sabusu, Peng Chun, Qi Shi, Miao Zina, Yang Dai, Darsha, Maitu, etc., stood with their swords, looking intently at Kangxi who was looking at the topographic map.

"Feyangu, how many soldiers do you have here?" After a long time, Fang listened to Kangxi and asked, "This place is the enemy's frontal rush, if it is lost, it will endanger the base camp, don't take it lightly!" ”

"How dare a minion neglect the military!" Fei Yanggu bowed and replied, "Originally, there were 15,000 garrisons, but since the servants entered Beijing to face the military situation, it has increased to 27,000. Even if Galdan concentrates the whole army to attack, our army is as stable as Mount Tai. ”

Kangxi nodded, and devoted himself to the military situation, looking at the topographic map and said: "Just looking at the topographic map, I am not steadfast in my heart, tomorrow on the fifth watch, I will go to the Krulun River with you to watch the enemy's situation." ”

When Feiyangu heard this, one was happy and the other was afraid. Kangxi's presence on the front line was of great benefit to boosting morale. But the two armies clashed with each other, and if there was a mistake, how could he explain to the subjects of the government and the opposition? Thinking about it, he said loudly: "Our army is several times larger than the enemy, has been trained for many years, and it is waiting for work at leisure. Galdan Puer jumped off the beam clown, thousands of miles to the east, the number of victories and defeats is uncertain - long live sitting in the camp, if the slave can't wipe out this thief in one fell swoop, please long live the slave's family! ”

"It's not a flat in one fell swoop!" Kangxi's eyes shimmered, "It's to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" In order to lure the enemy to the east, I have spent so much effort, in case of loss, I will not have the shame to see Jiangdong's father! Feyangu is exempt from discussion, kneel in peace, and gather here tomorrow morning and hit the road! ”

Kangxi had a good night's sleep that night, and the next morning he rode his imperial horse to the Krulun River to check on the enemy camp. The soldiers of the Eight Banners, the Green Battalion, and the Han Army Banner Battalion who moved from Bahrain along the river all knew that they had arrived when they saw the treasure fan and dragon banner covering the sky and the sun.

Kangxi urged the horse to the riverside, pressed the cold hilt of the sword with one hand, and quietly looked at the opposite bank with the telescope in the other, but saw that the opposite bank was densely packed with mountains and waters, and the deer ditches were full of arrays. After frowning and looking at it for a long time, Kangxi put down the binoculars, looked back at the people behind him and said with a smile: "Galdan is worthy of a famous general, and there is no ambiguity in the deployment of soldiers." It's a pity that I have gone to the wrong path and cannot be helped by God! - Feyangu, have all the red-coated cannons of our army been pulled up and settled? ”

"If you go back to Banzai!" Feiyangu immediately bowed and replied, "There are forty-three red-coated cannons, all of which have a range of more than seven miles, and his camp of these earthen fortresses is so good that it will destroy him in an instant!" ”

Kangxi nodded, and when he wanted to speak, he heard three cannon shots from the Chinese army on the other side, which shook the earth and trembled slightly, and dozens of guards surrounded him and protected Kangxi tightly in the middle. Kangxi smiled slightly and said, "Where will it be called?" I look like Galdan is going to come out and speak! ”

Coming out was really Galdan, hearing the noise and shouts of the Qing army on the other side, it was expected that Kangxi came to the front of the battle, so he brought dozens of personal soldiers to escort the horse to the north bank of the river, and saw a group of civil officials and military generals on the opposite bank to protect a middle-aged man with a lofty bearing in the center, knowing that it must be Kangxi, he put his arm across his chest on the horse, bowed his body, and said loudly:

"Chenbo Shuoketu Khan Galdan meets Bogda Khan Tianyan Xià!"

The two were only seven or eight feet apart. The clear waters of the Kruren River are just over four feet deep at its deepest, and the pebbles at the bottom of the river can be clearly seen. Kangxi was so close to the enemy, everyone hung their hearts high. But I heard Kangxi say coldly: "You are also Khan, I am also Khan, why talk about 'audience', why be polite?" Besides, Junggar is in the western frontier, thousands of miles away, what are you doing here with your troops? I want to learn! ”

"You are the Great Khan of the Son of Heaven, and I am the Little Khan of the tribe." Galdan was stunned by Kangxi's words that were neither soft nor hard, swallowed his spit and said with a wicked laugh, "I asked the Shangnan Dorji Lama to turn to the Great Khan the year before last, and Galdan has never been outside the Chinese emperor. The subjects of my tribe have always respected the legal system of the emperor and did not dare to act rashly! ”

"Don't dare to act rashly?" Kangxi suddenly looked up and laughed, "...... It's really a wonder in the world! Er was a minister, but without asking for a request to annex the four divisions of Zungar, annexed the three tribes of Khalkha, and claimed that tens of thousands of soldiers ravaged the Shanxi and Eastern Mongolian tribes, and said that he 'did not dare to act rashly'! Since ancient times, there have been countless traitors, who can match your wanton behavior? ”

"Great Khan!" Galdan put away his smiling face, interrupted Kangxi's words and said, "Why bring up the old things again? Tushetu Khan contacted the Mongol kings of Mobei, repeatedly harassed my Dzungar, plundered our arms, and killed one of my nephews. Why are you taking sides with Tushetu Khan? If you are not a king, you can naturally be a minister! ”

Kangxi smiled coldly: "This is your excuse for calling a soldier a criminal?" What is your credential for saying that I am partial to Tushetu Khan? Galdan pointed at the little prince of Tushetu Khan behind Kangxi and said sharply: "That is the youngest son of Tushetu Khan!" That's the living credentials! ”

"Thief!" When the little prince Tushetu Khan heard this, he couldn't help it anymore, it was the enemy who was very red when he saw each other, and glared and scolded, "You evil on the steppe, owl! You return my father, and my tribe......" His voice was hoarse and poignant, and everyone shuddered when they heard it. Galdan waved his hand, and the more than 20 personal soldiers accompanying him shot over with arrows and bows, and some guards had already waved their knives forward, dancing like silver balls, and the broken arrows and feathers flew one after another, where could Kangxi be hurt a single hair? Kangxi was furious, and pointed his whip at Galdan and said, "Which general will fight for me first?" ”

"The slave is willing to go!" Before he could finish speaking, a person behind Kangxi suddenly flashed out and replied.

When Kangxi looked at it, it turned out to be Leqin, the seventh son of Sunu, who was hunting on the way to the north and was frightened by the tiger. He looked at himself with a pleading look, and Kangxi nodded. Leqin's eyes were red, he thanked him, and tore open the robe on his body with a "brush", and his snow-white body was tattooed with indigo, but it was not a dragon or a tiger, a flower or a cloud, and it was a "shame" word that kept on his head! Lechin was shirtless, roared, jumped from the prancing horse to the other side of the river, and ran to the opposite bank, completely desperate, and looked at the people on both sides of the river. Kangxi hurriedly ordered: "Release arrows to cover!" Go over a little more, beat the arrogance of this bastard! As soon as the words fell, more than 40 people who were guarding the Chinese army also stripped their upper bodies and rushed over. As soon as Galdan saw that the comer was not good, he hurriedly ordered more than 100 people to rush over and fight, and immediately, the drums on both sides of the Krulun River rang out in unison, and the sound of killing moved the sky, and the sound of cheering and shouting sounded like boiling porridge.

Le Qin has been despised since he was uprooted by Kangxi and has always been looked down upon. He waited forged, and secretly practiced martial arts and practiced courage for three years. As soon as he came out today, he was unstoppable. When crossing the river, an arrow had been hit in each of the shoulders and legs, Lechin endured the pain and was silent, and pulled out and threw it into the river with his hand...... More than 40 shirtless men behind him swarmed up and slaughtered with Galdan's guards of more than 100 people! Kangxi saw that there was a huge disparity between the crowds, but he smiled and said: "Although this move was a little hasty, it coaxed Galdan to not be distracted, so Sunu, Sabusu, Qi Shi and others took 4,000 people to copy it from the upstream, and they didn't do anything, so they simply beat him up today!" Feyengu led my princes in the north to ......"

At this moment, the fighting on the other side is so tense that people can't breathe, the wildly jumping war horses are jumping vertically and horizontally, the fierce Mongolian warriors and the Manchu and Han warriors are wielding snowy knives to fight each other to the death, and there are bursts of chilling collision sounds between the blood blades, some of them have been cut off their hands and feet, some have been cut off the Tianling cover, the blood flowers are colorful like rain, scattered on the grassland of the spring cold, and the war horses that have been cut down are convulsing in pain. Lechin's eyes were red, his face was covered with sticky blood, and he was screaming and slashing and chopping, and the sergeants on both sides of the strait were looking straight. He was so brave and fearless that even some people in the Galdan tribe applauded him.

Suddenly, a whimpering horn and an urgent gong sounded in the Galdan army. The dagger in the Chinese army's tent reported: "Lord Boshoketu Khan, the Qing soldiers have been killed from the western road!" ”

"How many are there?" Galdan was in a daze, and was surprised when he heard something change in the rear, and hurriedly asked, "Whose soldier is it?" ”

"Four or five thousand men, ...... from upstream"

At the end of his sentence, Galdan shouted, "What does Ghentre eat?" In broad daylight, they were told to rush across the river! Then he turned back to the guards who were fighting, and shouted, "My warriors, don't fall in love with the battle, go back to the camp!" At this time, there was a loud killing on the north bank of the Krulun River, and the entire front camp of Galdan was panicked. Sunu, Sabusu and others led 4,000 cavalry to rush into the camp of Galdan, killing people when they saw them, lighting fires when they saw yurts, and soldiers were everywhere in the black smoke, and there were pools of blood everywhere...... Kangxi looked at it with a telescope for a long time, put down his hand, took a heavy breath, and sighed: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, but it is a pity that Galdan acts against the sky, although there are strong soldiers and fierce generals, the hearts of the people are not in unison, and the orders are different!" He turned back to the flag officer of the Chinese army and ordered: "Order Peng Chun and others to lead an army of 5,000 to defeat the middle camp of the former army of Galdan, and force him to retreat to Jingfeng, so that our whole army can establish a foothold on the north bank of the Krulun River!" ”

After speaking, Kangxi walked towards Leqin, who had just returned from crossing the river. Of the more than 40 warriors, only thirteen returned alive, and the wounds on their bodies were still oozing blood because they had just been washed with river water. Le Qin's body was full of arrow wounds, his left arm was already wrapped in a white cloth, and he was holding a half-cut sword in his right hand, staring at Kangxi with hard support. Kangxi approached him and said, "Live up to my lesson, good example, I will give you back a three-eyed flower!" ”

After hearing this, Lechin was dizzy, and his tall body fell to the ground with a thud. That night, after receiving a battle report, the Galdan battalion on the north bank of the Krulun River had retreated on all fronts, and the area around Jingfeng had shrunk. Kangxi immediately ordered Heilongjiang General Sabusu and the Langyu Department to aid Zhuo Suotu in the east, blocking the road of Galdan's eastward attack, and ordered Feiyangu to lead his troops north to Yikezhao to prevent Galdan from fleeing westward. As soon as he was settled, he ordered to use his own royal car to send the dying Le Qintuo to the rear for treatment and recuperation.

The first battle was successful, and everyone in the Qing military camp was elated. Kangxi's military affairs were complicated, and he was ten times busier than when he was in the capital, and ordered all armies to tighten the encirclement, approaching Jingfeng Huanggang Mountain, and thinking about blocking the escape route. Then mobilize water boats and land vehicles to transport grain, meat, and vegetables to supply the 140,000 troops gathered on the front line.
