In the battle of Qamdo, more than 40,000 people were killed and wounded by 150,000 captives, such huge casualties made these captive soldiers lose their minds suddenly, coupled with Liu Juntao's order not to seal the knife overnight, as soon as these captive soldiers rushed into the city of Qamdo, more than 100,000 captives began a bloody massacre of the city, and the sound of killing in the city shook the sky.

The more than 40,000 Turpan defenders in the city, together with more than 100,000 tribesmen, were almost slaughtered, and only thousands of survivors survived, all of whom were Turpan tribesmen, and none of those defenders survived. These people were rescued by the soldiers of the Tiance Army who subsequently~ entered the city, and Liu Juntao ordered these survivors to be sent to Hamiwei to serve as slaves in Tuntian.

The Ming army advanced here, the 200,000 captives were already dead and wounded, and the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses were also demoralized.

Liu Juntao also knew this very well, so he ordered these captive troops to temporarily camp in Xi'an, south of Qamdo, and the next battle was almost a tough battle, so it was safest to let the soldiers of the Tiance Army and the Shaanxi Town go to the front, and it was still possible for these captive troops to charge along with the situation.

Liu Juntao led the main force of the Ming army to rest in Qamdo for two days, and then led the army to set off.

At this time, news came from the west and the south, and Yili killed the 100,000 troops in the interior from the west, and the 200,000 iron cavalry of the Duohuo Thorn Department from the south.

Liu Juntao immediately decided to send the Tiger Ben army to the west, raid Yili Licheng, copy Yili's nest in one fell swoop, and draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle.

After receiving the order, Sun Xu, the chief military officer of Pingyang Town, immediately led his troops to set off and advanced directly to the west from Qamdo.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Juntao led the Longxiang Army, the Zhichong Army, the officers and soldiers of Shaanxi Town, and more than 100,000 captives.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Ming army marched all the way, and four days later arrived in the area of Botuo Bald Mountain.

At this time, the soldiers of the Ming army were still more than ten miles away from the main mountain range of Botuo Bald Mountain, but they could already faintly hear the dense explosions on the mountain and the shouts of the army.

More than 10,000 soldiers of the Eagle Yang Army are fighting a bloody battle with 100,000 Yili troops according to the mountain terrain!

Liu Juntao immediately ordered the captive army to immediately march westward, cut off the back road of the inner army of Yili, and led all units of the Tiance army to flank the Tartar army, and ordered the officers and soldiers of all departments in Shaanxi Town to immediately enter the mountains to reinforce the position of the Yingyang army.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Liu Juntao led his troops directly into the battlefield, the Long Xiang army and the Zhichong army one left and one right, straight to the Tartar army, the artillery of the two armies took the lead in the might, dense flowering shells exploded in the Tartar army, and immediately stirred up the army formation of tens of thousands of Tartars.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the four battalions of the Longxiang Army and the Zhichong Army rushed into the battlefield, and the dense sound of birds sounded, accompanied by the continuous roar of earth-shattering thunder, pushing the entire battlefield into the abyss of blood and fire.

And the officers and men of the Yingyang Army on the Bald Mountain of Botuo were also relieved, especially after receiving the support of the soldiers of various departments in Shaanxi Town, Yan Hu immediately ordered the soldiers of the Yingyang Army, who were already exhausted, to withdraw temporarily, and seize the time to recover their strength.

At the same time, more than 100,000 captives suddenly appeared in the rear of tens of thousands of Tartar troops, completely cutting off the rear route of the Tartar army, and immediately making these tens of thousands of Tartars confused.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao immediately ordered the whole army to attack, and even the soldiers of Shaanxi Town and the soldiers of the Yingyang Army stationed on the Bald Mountain of Botuo also rushed down, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Ming Army surrounded them on three sides, and surrounded tens of thousands of Tartar troops with superior forces.

"Command the ministries: divide and encircle and annihilate! Divide and encircle! ”

Liu Juntao, under the protection of hundreds of heavily armored guards and iron cavalry, led his army to charge in the enemy formation, and issued an order to begin the encirclement and annihilation.

Hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers immediately began to divide and intersperse, dividing tens of thousands of Tartar soldiers and horses into more than a dozen parts, and then began a bloody siege and annihilation battle.

"Leave no mouth alive! No mercy! ”

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

The order to kill has been issued, and all the officers and men of the Ming army have been killed, and the tens of thousands of Tartar troops only lasted for more than half an hour before the whole army was annihilated.

In this battle, the Yingyang army suffered more than 4,000 casualties, the rest of the troops suffered a total of more than 2,000 casualties, and the Ming army lost a total of 7,000 soldiers.

On the Tartar side, 100,000 also annihilated the entire army inside.

After this stop, Yili wiped out the main army in the interior, leaving only 50,000 soldiers and horses and more than 400,000 troops left in the city of Yilijiang.

Liu Juntao believes that under the surprise attack of the Tiger Ben Army, Yili will also take the city down!

At this moment, Chen Ziping, the chief military officer of Zezhou Town, who led his troops to garrison Tiemen Pass in the south, sent an urgent report:

At this time, in addition to the 200,000 iron cavalry army, there are 100,000 temporarily recruited infantry troops, and the 300,000 Tartar army is storming the city day and night, and the Vietnamese cavalry army is already in a hurry!

After receiving this news, Liu Juntao was also taken aback, although the combat power of the Yue Cavalry Army was at the middle and lower level in the Tiance Army, but after all, it was a genuine Tiance Army, and its combat power was definitely above that of the vast majority of the army.

Although Chen Ziping, the chief military officer of Zezhou Town, has not had too dazzling achievements, he is also steady and steady, and he will never be in a hurry with himself!

Liu Juntao knew in his heart that the Iron Gate Pass at this time must have reached the moment of life and death.

Moreover, the Duohuo Thorn tribe is different from the ordinary Hu tribe, this is a big clan that can be compared with the Tatar tribe and the Warat tribe, once the Tiemen Pass is stormed at any cost, the Vietnamese cavalry will definitely suffer huge losses!

Therefore, Liu Juntao immediately ordered the main force of the Ming army to rush south to aid Tiemen Pass.

Four days later, Liu Juntao led nearly 400,000 Ming soldiers to Tiemen Pass.

Tiemen Pass was once a natural danger pass that runs through the North Courtyard and the rest of the traffic, the throat of the middle road of the ancient Silk Road, the Jin Dynasty had set up a pass here, because of its danger, so it is called "Tiemen Pass".

Tiemen Pass is bordered by the Kuluk Mountain and Hora Mountain, which are branches of the Tianshan Mountains, to the north, and the Taklamakan Desert, the Sea of Death, to the south. The southern and western parts of the Korla Oasis Plain are connected to the Tarim Basin, forming a vast fan-shaped oasis on which the Tiemen Pass is located.

At this time, the iron gate closed and the smoke was filled, and the 20 miles radius of the city was the Tartar iron cavalry army, and the 300,000 Tartar army had surrounded the iron gate pass, and was attacking day and night.

And when the iron gate was closed, the soldiers of the Vietnamese cavalry who were guarding here had already lit two wolf smokes, which showed that the soldiers guarding the pass had reached the limit!

At this moment, Liu Juntao received an urgent report from the Tiger Army: Yili did not capture the inner city, and the 50,000 Tartar defenders fought to the death and did not retreat, and the Tiger Army temporarily withdrew and asked Liu Juntao for instructions!

Liu Juntao realized that the situation of the battle had changed, and on the one hand, the Tatars had exploded into a huge battle against the imminent extinction of the clan, resulting in the failure of the Tiger Ben army's surprise attack.

In the battle report, the Tiger Ben army lost thousands of soldiers, and although the 50,000 Tatar army suffered greater casualties, at least more than 10,000 people were killed, they still forced back the attack of the Tiger Ben army.

Liu Juntao thought for a while, and then ordered the Tiger Ben army to temporarily withdraw to Tiemen Pass and join the main army.

At this time, Yili has repelled the raid of the Tiger Army, and the forces scattered all over the country can return in time to help, and the Tiger Army can only temporarily retreat, otherwise it may be turned over by the Tartars, after all, the strength of the Tiger Army is only more than 10,000 people!

After that, Liu Juntao looked at the battlefield of Tiemenguan in the distance, at this time the battlefield was densely packed with Tartar soldiers, and the artillery of the Vietnamese cavalry soldiers on the irongate closed had stopped roaring, and I don't know if the cannon was exhausted or it was dissipating heat.

And the roar of the bird guns equipped by the soldiers of the Vietnamese cavalry began to become dull, and the rhythm began to become scattered!

Liu Juntao frowned, and immediately convened the general officers of all departments to discuss the matter.

At the same time, the army of Duohuo Thorn also began to change formations, and at least 30,000 iron cavalry were separated from the army and attacked towards the Ming army's large array, apparently preparing to block the attack of the Ming army soldiers in the north of the battlefield.

After Liu Juntao finished discussing with the chief soldiers, he rode his horse and pointed ahead, and said to everyone: "This soldier and horse of the Thorny Department is really brave, in the face of the surprise attack of my 300,000 or 400,000 elite soldiers, the whole army can still not be chaotic, but 30,000 iron cavalry are sent to block it, and the main army is still storming the Iron Gate Pass!" I really don't know if the ministry is arrogant or confident! ”

Yan Hu said in a deep voice: "Bingxian, please take a look!" The Tartars only divided tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack in turns, tired of our soldiers guarding the pass, and the main army of the Tartars was still waiting in formation a few miles outside the city, and it seemed that they were ready to respond! ”

The rest of the people also nodded one after another, realizing that the Duohuo Thorn Division was not a Waiting Hu Clan, and it could be described as a strong enemy!

Xiang Qun, the head of the military department, also said: "Bingxian, it seems that this thorn is an opponent, this battle has to be fought, this Hu people look very tough!" ”

"Humph!"

Liu Juntao snorted coldly and said loudly: "Since the main forces of our army have gathered at Tiemen Pass, let's simply have a decisive battle!" Now that the Turpan Department has been destroyed, and the inner part has been greatly injured, only the Duohuo Thorn Department is still resisting stubbornly, then our army will complete its work in this battle, and hit the Tartar army in this Iron Gate Pass! ”

After speaking, Liu Juntao ordered the officers and men of the Ming army to start mobilizing and deploying, ready to enter the battlefield.

Suddenly, Liu Juntao suddenly saw the battle flag on the Iron Gate Closed falling down, and countless soldiers of the Thorn Thorn Division rushed to the city, and the Iron Gate Pass was captured by the Tartars!

"Whole army! Offensive! ”
