Chapter 413: The south bank of the Iche River

Originally, he wanted to shoot a few shots, but looking at the faces of the three of them, Zhu Xin had no choice but to let the recruits disband.

"Hey! Why is it scattered! "Dozens of artillerymen, the most regrettable! After coming to the northwest, it was difficult to replenish, and they could no longer waste ammunition casually.

After waiting for a while, Zhu Xin said: "Well~ Suzhou Chief, now you understand!" Alright, let's go back first! ”

"Hey! I see! But the ears also need to be cultivated! Su Litang shook his head helplessly! Don't look at the big and small artillery, just the muskets that can fire almost in bursts have scared him.

However, bullets and shells are difficult to make, and maintaining 70,000 musketeers and many artillery pieces is already the limit of the Imperial Arsenal. At least until the economy recovers across the empire, the empire's manpower and finances will be able to support the daily training of hundreds of thousands of Yanhuang musketeers. This is also the reason why the more advanced the weapons, the smaller the number of troops.

As soon as the ice and snow melted, the north was even colder.

But the agitated King of Harsha, Sarava, could not bear it anymore and looked eagerly to the east.

"Ah, Rakadus, the fierce men came with blood, and now we finally sent them back with blood."

The counterattack on the Menggu Plateau has always been the long-cherished wish of the Central Asian tribes and the Northern Maozi. After hundreds of years of domination and killing, the fierce ancients also filled the East Asian race with long-cherished grudges.

Ahlakadu is the commander of the 300,000 eastward invasion army of the Hassha people, and the Hassha people are not stupid, and they will not trust the Ximeng Kingdom 100%. If it weren't for the Northern Mao and the Desert Persians, the Khasha Alliance would definitely send more troops.

"My king rest assured! Our troops only occupy the grassland of Mobei, and will definitely not enter Monan, and the Han people in the south will let Junggar and them deal with it themselves. ”

Sarava smiled lightly and nodded: "Haha!" Geldan thought we didn't know how powerful the Han people were! The fleet of the Han Chinese has arrived in the Western Ocean, and even the merchants of Ahrab claim that the empire is invincible! ”

Ah Lakadu immediately nodded: "My king: The Han people are strong, but the grassland desert is not where they should come." When they are defeated by the Western Fierce Kingdom, maybe the south and the east will all belong to me, the Hashas. ”

Full of hope, the 300,000 Hasha army also began to leave. There are 300,000 people, but only 250,000 can be reported.

In March, 600,000 troops from both sides also gathered on the south bank of the Isetse River. After all the Hasha people came, the 300,000 men and horses of the Moxi Group Army also began to outflank the finished glyphs.

"Damn! Haven't the Western Warriors crossed the river yet? "Ah, Laka has an ominous premonition! The opponent's strength is far from what he expected!

Yelig shook his head: "Dashuai, the Ximeng people are still gathering and coming!" It will take three or four days to dare to cross the river! ”

"Damn it! Why didn't the Han army go to the south, but to the north! "Ah, the more I think about it, the more uneasy I become.

General Yelig smiled and shook his head: "There are only a hundred thousand cavalry opposite the marshal, and we are much stronger in terms of cavalry." ”

The battle of the steppe relied on cavalry guerrilla and cavalry charge. Infantry is simply not fit to appear in the steppe.

"Although the Han have many infantry, there are at least tens of thousands of arquebusiers, so let's kill the Mobei cavalry first, and then kill those heavy armored cavalry." Soon, Rakkadu came up with a countermeasure.

As the Khasha people prepared to defeat the Moxi coalition army, Geldan's 100,000-strong vanguard army also began to set out, and the next 250,000 followers would follow.

Moxi could not leave no one behind, and in the end the Bashi Khan would lead 50,000 cavalry and 200,000 old and weak women and children to surrender to the empire.

"Haha! The Hasha people still want to wait for us to cross the river! But the Han army didn't allow it! "Bash has now begun to contact the headquarters of the Moxi Group Army, but unfortunately Zuo Zongwei doesn't want them to share the battle achievements.

In the end, the monk also stayed, and his recent performance has been very good, and he has the potential to become the second of the best in Geldan! In order to prevent splitting the strength of Ximeng, the monk has now taken the initiative to give up all power, otherwise he will definitely be killed by Geldan in the future.

"Uncle! This Han people are afraid that we will shoot our military exploits! The first army of the empire is in the north, the three armies of the border are in the south, and the two Chinese armies are in the middle, they are planning to slaughter 300,000 cavalry in one battle! ”

Bash nodded: "Looks like they're about to start too." ”

……

After letting the people of Hasha rest for a day, Zuo Zongwei, who had been waiting for a long time, finally gave the order.

"Commander of the Mo army, Commander Zhu, we are approaching in three directions, and after the firearms are hot, we will let the cavalry rush and kill. General Tachi, General Huli, you are in charge of stopping the escaped cavalry. ”

"Honorable Order." The army commanders immediately took the order to leave, and Tachi shook his head with some regret!

Hu Li is also much more relieved, the Han people did not use them as cannon fodder, and the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people is not so fun.

Knock knock knock...... The drums of war roared.

The tuba thunders: Om ~ Om ~

The Han army began to line up, which also alarmed the Khashas.

"Huh! Good! Dare to take the initiative to die! Warriors, let's go out of the camp and destroy these Han people first. Ah Lakadu sneered and said: Let the infantry come forward, this is simply looking down on them.

In the north are more than 20,000 firearms soldiers of the First Army, in the middle are nearly 70,000 firearms soldiers of the Hanzhong and Hannan Army, and on the south road are more than 30,000 firearms soldiers of the Third Army in the border.

120,000 firearms soldiers are the first echelon, and tens of thousands of armor soldiers can only follow behind the firearms soldiers. Between the three large phalanxes were 70,000 cavalry, of which 50,000 were stone men and heavy cavalry.

After the Han army, there were 100,000 cavalry, and behind the 100,000 cavalry was the camp, and there were 50,000 or 60,000 war cattle waiting for them.

The battle began, and the monks and Bash couldn't help but peek at the hillside on the opposite bank.

Putting down the telescope sent by an old friend in Mobei, Bash smiled lightly: "Although the Han army is strong, it is also proud to fight, and there are no soldiers and horses in the rear camp!" If there is another sneak attack on the camp, the Han army will probably be in turmoil! ”

Look at the honest herd! The monk couldn't help but be frightened! In that battle, they didn't dare to tell anyone about it: they were defeated by a herd of cattle!

"Huh! Uncle! The Han people have their own tricks! If there were 100,000 more cavalry, the same would be true. ”

Bash shook his head suspiciously, seeing that the monk didn't want to say anything, he didn't want to ask.

Stepping on the foot ~ dense and neat steps, walking a kilometer without chaos.

"Huh! Sure enough, it lives up to its name! But that's also it! Let's go! "Ah, Rakkadu also began to order.

Jelig nodded, and immediately rode forward. Of course, he didn't want to stop the firecracker, and they knew the power of the firecracker.

"Lord of the town, go, warriors, the Lord awaits his warriors in heaven."

As soon as the town lord came out, the 40,000 cavalry immediately became excited.

The town lord ~ town lord ~ the strange screaming Harsha warriors also began their crazy charge.

Boom ~ Boom ~

Before and after the 40,000 warriors were sent to the dead, Yelig also sent 40,000 horses again, and most of his former soldiers and horses were also sent out.

"Haha good!" The warrior's shouts made Ah Laka very satisfied, and he estimated that forty or fifty thousand dead people would be able to defeat the Han infantry.

The Central Asian hybrid horse, tall and strong, has a short-term charge speed that is only slower than that of a heavy horse.

Boom~ The entire riverbank jumped, and the amazing dust began to surge.

The Hanzhong Army and the Hannan Army, which had not experienced many bloody battles, couldn't help but be confused, but then they habitually recovered.

The empire could not tolerate cowards, and as soon as they entered the Han army, they were ready to die. The family is taken care of by the Imperial Military Department, and they are not only worried that their relatives will be helpless after their death.
