Chapter 566: Battle Desert North (1)
After the complete failure of the plan to lure the enemy, Galdan Tseling finally chose to give up the opportunity to destroy the Han army in front of him, and began to choose to retreat, but he did not plan to completely evacuate the Krulun River, but planned to wait for the reaction of the Russians before deciding on the next move.
For Galdan Tse Ling, the current war between him and Ning Chu is by no means something that can be solved by evasion, so when Ning Yu hopes to be able to completely annihilate the main force of Jungger in Mobei, Galdan Tse Ling also hopes to be able to leave the main force of the Fu Han army, if he can leave the emperor of Ning Chu, it will naturally be better.
Out of this mentality, it was as if he were a weasel waiting to steal chickens, and began to withdraw in the direction of Nebuchu with his army. Therefore, in the area of Nebuchu, there is already an army of Russians, and as long as Dace Lingdun Dob can reach an agreement with the Russians, he may be able to join forces to attack at that time.
On the third day after the evacuation of Galdance, the army led by Ning Yu finally arrived at Bala and Tun and officially joined the Eastern Route Army, and when the Fu Han Army joined forces at this time, it added up to 50,000 people, and the red military flag of the Fu Han Army covered the sky and the sun, almost covering the heavens and the earth.
"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers are ashamed that they failed to leave Gardan Tse zero."
Dong Ce bent down and clenched his fists, with a heavy look of shame on his face, after all, Gardan Ce Zero walked away from his eyes, but he had nothing to stop it.
Ning Yu sighed softly, somewhat disappointed in his heart, and said softly: "You don't need to blame yourself, in fact, it is already very rare to be able to find the main force of the Jungger army, and it is too difficult to stop them in this situation. ”
Li Fu, the second assistant on the side, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, although they have escaped from Galdan Tse Zero now, it doesn't mean that they will blindly flee north...... In fact, it can be seen from this incident that Gardanzer is very ambitious and very confident, and if it hadn't hurt him before, he wouldn't have left. ”
Ning Yu nodded thoughtfully, Li Fu's words were indeed on point, the retreat of Galdan Celing was almost pressing the last time, if he evacuated one day later, Ning Yu would definitely send cavalry to catch up and hang them - this can also show that Galdan Celing is really a little greedy......
At this time, Dong Ce had a little smile on his face and said: "Your Majesty, although the ministers have not been able to keep Galdan Celing at the moment, it is not that they have done nothing-in fact, just when Galdan Celing has just left the camp, the minister asked Er'er to lead the grassland division to follow. ”
"How? Hurry up? Ning Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Dong Ce said with confidence: "After the minister saw the retreat of the Galdance Zero Brigade to the north, he asked General Erzhi Jin Gendun to select 1,500 elite cavalry in the army, one man and three horses, and there was only one thing to do, that is, to follow Galdance Zero thirty miles away, and send a light cavalry to return to report the news once a day, and we only need to keep up." ”
Ning Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up, and said with a smile: "This plan is very good, although there are many quasi-troops, but because of the huge queue, they are not as flexible as our army, as long as they can bite it, our army can completely catch up and fight a decisive battle!" ”
"Don't miss an opportunity!"
After getting the good news, the Fu Han army soon began to follow the road of the front army, to carry out an expedited pursuit, because the people will be arranged to return to report along the way, so the situation in front of it has gradually become clear, simply put, the Jungger army also found the cavalry team of the Fu Han army behind them, so they also began to arrange interception, and increased the marching speed of the whole army.
You run away from me, you chase me away. In the process, violent clashes began to break out between the two sides, and a large number of cavalry chased each other, intercepted, and killed each other every day, causing more and more soldiers to die on this arduous pursuit and escape.
One day
Two days,
Three days
.......
Until the sixth day, the struggle between the two sides lasted for six whole days, and also gave the Fu Han army a chance to catch up, and finally on the sixth day, the red regimental dragon banner of Ningyu and the banner of the Great Khan of the Jungar Khanate met, and the two sides were only separated by less than twenty miles, and the location where the two armies arrived was called Mengketuoluo Sea.
The Monkstoro Sea is a tribe located next to Khorezin Prague, which means 'vigorous spring' in Mongolian, and has a more famous name in later generations - Manchuria.
Of course, at the beginning of the 18th century, the construction of the western line of the China Eastern Railway had not yet begun, so as the first station from Russia into Northeast China, the name "Manchuria Station" naturally did not appear, and the prosperous Manchuria did not appear, and today it is still only Köllezin Prague.
Speaking of which, it is not a simple matter to maintain 50,000 troops to fight in the northern frontier, and fortunately, both sides are not ordinary, such as the Dzungar Khanate, naturally because of its nomadic nature, itself carried a large number of cattle and sheep as logistics, in order to maintain the size of the army, and the Fu Han army was because of long-term preparations, in order to maintain such a large army for a short time.
After the two armies met, they naturally could no longer tolerate the Jungar army to retreat calmly, after all, Ning Chu also had its own cavalry army, if Galdan Tse Ling no longer ignored the retreat, then the Fu Han army was likely to continue to arrange cavalry to attack and attack, and I am afraid that it would be easy to be scattered by the Fu Han army in a wave.
"Knock knock—"
With the sound of the drums of the Fu Han army, the Fu Han army maintained a neat queue and began to slowly enter the battlefield, because this battle was a battle encountered by both sides, so it was impossible to form a camp in advance, so in order to seize the opportunity, it was necessary to seize the opportunity to occupy a favorable position.
The momentum formed by tens of thousands of Fu Han troops was naturally extraordinary, and the smoke and dust brought up during the march swept into the sky, among which the infantry of the entire three divisions formed a three-row horizontal formation, and behind them were more than 300 artillery pieces, and more than 10,000 real cavalry were lined up into four large phalanxes, which added up to 50,000 people.
Among them, the real eye-catching thing is the Chinese army in the formation, a tall red regimental dragon flag was erected, and the slightly simple and charming Canglong looked so imposing on the blood-colored flag.
And this scene fell in the eyes of everyone in the Jungar army, but it was quite a different feeling.
"The Han people actually dared to go out of the camp and come to pursue us and others, it seems that the reason why they have such courage is indeed a little different, but it is a pity that in today's battle, Ben Khan will win."
There was a little contempt on his face, and a little unnatural, he would not forget the bloody battle a few days ago, although that battle was just a riot, but it made Galdance Ling not dare to really underestimate the Han army.
Under the orders of Galdan Tseling, the Dzungar army also put up a battle formation, and the 20,000 musketeers also formed two long horizontal formations, and behind them there were thousands of archers, and behind the archers were tens of thousands of foot soldiers with spears, which also looked quite imposing at first glance.
What is impressive is that among the army of Zungar, there are more than 180 camel cannons, although it seems to be a large number, but the number of artillery pieces in Ning Chu is completely reversed, which is very different from the previous situation.
However, what is even more striking is that behind the formation of the Jungar army, more than 20,000 cavalry people lined up in a dense array, but it is almost impossible to count, and only those flags can be seen whirring in the wind.
In the center of the Fu Han army, Ning Yu was wearing a suit of armor and holding a long sword with a heavier decorative meaning in his hand, and there was not much solemnity on his face, because as long as the Jungger army gave up fleeing and chose to fight, then there was absolutely no possibility of victory on the frontal battlefield.
Because of the frontal battle, the Fu Han Army should be the first in the world!
"This battle must be won, and I will congratulate you first!"
Ning Yu looked at the majestic Fu Han soldiers in front of him, and immediately pulled out his long sword and pointed obliquely at the sky, and with Ning Yu's sword drawing, the distance between the Fu Han army and the Jungger army was slowly narrowing.
Due to the limited range of firearms in this era, it was not much use to fire from a distance, so the distance between the two armies began to gradually close, from the original distance of a few miles to about two miles.
When the battle formations of the two sides gradually approached, it was still the artillery of the Fu Han army that took the lead, but unlike before, the artillery of the Fu Han army not only far surpassed the Jungger army in terms of quality, but also almost occupied an overwhelming advantage in quantity.
I saw that the artillery position of the Fu Han army was divided into three artillery groups at this time, and there was a team of soldiers in front of each artillery group to calculate, and they would calculate the position and distance of the enemy troops, so as to formulate a target for the artillery group, and the person who ordered it was the commander of each artillery group, which was basically the commander of the artillery regiment.
"Target demarcation, distance calculation, ignition!"
Behind each artillery, there were several soldiers of the Fu Han Army, one of whom had a torch in his hand, and after the person heard the commander's order, he immediately lit the fuse, only to see that the artillery of the Fu Han Army rang one after another, and when the smoke was filled, hundreds of projectiles were fired.
"Boom—"
Under the sound of violent explosions one after another, it turned the front of the Jungar army into a sea of fire, a large number of flowering bullets and solid bullets, wantonly harvesting the lives of the soldiers in the Junggar army, and the musketeers, who were the vanguard of the whole army, became even more casualties due to the dense formation, just a round of artillery bombardment, the casualties almost exceeded 500.
A large number of soldiers had fallen to the ground almost in ignorance, and many of their bodies had almost turned into a broken sieve, on which blood was constantly flowing, but the thick bloody atmosphere made everyone smack their tongues.
After seeing this scene, Galdan Tseling's face was gloomy, he originally attached great importance to the power of artillery, and did not hesitate to form a Baoqin army, but at this time, in front of the Fu Han army, he was almost everywhere behind, which made him more or less annoyed.
At the moment, Galdantse knew in his heart that if he wanted to win this battle, he must uproot the artillery positions of the Fu Han army, and if he wanted to do this, he could only rely on the infantry to entangle the main force of the opponent, and then use the cavalry to attack the past, so as to really threaten the artillery power of the Fu Han army.
Soon, a series of orders were issued by Galdantse, only to see the army herald quickly convey the order, and the Jungar army soon underwent great changes, almost the whole army began to move forward desperately, they were eager to close the distance with the Fu Han army, so as to give full play to their own advantages.
"Boom—"
Of course, when the Jungger army was advancing, the artillery of the Fu Han army was also pouring ammunition like a desperate one, and a large number of flowering shells were rapidly consumed in the face of the gradually increasing rate of fire, and the change brought about was the more and more brutal battlefield, and more and more Jungger soldiers who were lying down.
Finally, when the distance was reduced to one and a half miles, the artillery of the Jungger army also began to roar, and the other soldiers of the Zhungeer army did not stop, but continued to move forward, because the order in the Junggar army wrote that the Fuhan army should be pulled into the fight at all costs.
Because only in this way can the cavalry be given a chance to charge, and the cavalry is also the most important advantage of Galdan Tseling at the moment, and he hopes to be able to transform victory through the charge of cavalry.
"Kill!"
After all, the Dzungar army has been fighting for a long time, and its morale is not bad, so the occasional casualties are still within the range, and there are many elite who are brave and good at fighting, they rush to the front, shouting for a fierce battle, even if they are wounded by shrapnel, they do not care.
As the distance got closer, the soldiers of the Fu Han Army also began to raise their muskets, pulled the trigger in the smoke, and rows of projectiles swept over like a torrential rain, and a large number of Jungar soldiers fell to the ground and died.
After the gunfire of the first row, the soldiers in the back row immediately stepped forward, and then raised their guns to shoot, and the rain of bullets flew down to knock out a blank ground in front of the Jungar army, and the fallen piece was immediately filled by the soldiers in the back row, as if such casualties had not yet collapsed the Jungar army.
And at the moment when the front army was about to engage in battle, although Galdan Tse Ling felt sorry for the casualties of the Jungger army, he saw the opportunity, that is, when the front army was in contact, the artillery position of the Fu Han army finally traveled to a gap, in front of them, in addition to the 10,000 cavalry, there were only more than 2,000 foot soldiers, and he could completely crush the Fu Han army with 20,000 cavalry!
"King Khan's golden order, all the warriors will be killed with me!"
"Kill!"
In the bursts of shouting, I saw that the Jungger cavalry was like a rolling wave, and the dense cavalry began to slowly accelerate in the direction of the Fu Han army, and after the distance of about two miles was completed now, their speed would also reach a peak, and when the time came, they would defeat the cavalry of the Fu Han army in one fell swoop!
