Chapter 641: Sweeping Southern Xinjiang (2)

Although the Western Regions had entered spring at this time, it was still very cold in the wilderness at night, and the 440,000 troops of the inner and Duohuo Thorn Divisions were all huddled in their respective camps, and even the soldiers on guard were huddled together, and many people were wrapped in thick clothes and waited for time, looking forward to returning to the tent as soon as possible to sleep.

It has been more than ten days since Yili gathered the inner part and the Duohuo Thorn Division under the city of Turpan, during which he organized soldiers and horses to attack four times, but they were all repelled by the Ming soldiers one by one.

This war is related to the authority of the entire Western Regions and the overall situation of the world on both sides, so in these four encounters, both sides are very restrained, the Hu army only sent thousands of soldiers and horses to test each time, and the Ming army only repelled the Hu army, and never went out of the city to fight in array.

These days, a large number of troops have gathered inside and outside Turpan City, but the casualties on both sides are still only more than 1,000 people.

That night, the moon was blocked by dense clouds, and the light dimmed in the night, reflecting the wilderness outside Turpan into a black ocean.

At this moment, a silent army of iron cavalry marched in the night, like a huge black dragon, heading towards the south.

In the distance, Liu Juntao was dressed in armor and rode in the horse army, and Yan Hu, Sun Xu, Chen Ziping, Gao Ran, Qiu Dacheng and other general officers gathered around him, surrounding Liu Juntao stationed in the horse wilderness.

Behind everyone, the troops of the Tiance Army and the soldiers of Shaanxi Town had already lined up in a large array, silent in the dark night, like a death army coming out of hell, which was daunting.

"Bingxian, General Zhou has already led the Changshui Army and the servant army with a total of more than 110,000 soldiers to set off, let's start to act too!"

Yan Hu whispered, his face full of excitement.

This time, the whole Ming army was dispatched, leaving only the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp to garrison Turpan City, in order to complete its work in one battle, to fight to the death with the 440,000 Tartar army tonight, and to beat the Tartars.

When Liu Juntao set this battle strategy, everyone exploded, and 280,000 Ming soldiers invited to fight against 440,000 Tartar troops.

Liu Juntao said in a deep voice: "Okay! Command all the soldiers to set off immediately! Tonight, Benxian will drink the blood of the Tartars with all the soldiers! ”

It didn't take long for the officers and soldiers of the Ming army to start one after another, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were silent, the war horses were wrapped in hooves, the soldiers were silent, the whole army did not have half a point of fire, all of them rushed quickly in the dark night, and it didn't take long for them to blend into the night and disappear.

In the blink of an eye, in the second half of the night, the patriarch of the Duohuorati tribe, Bayanke, tossed and turned, and was inexplicably irritable in his heart, so he got up and came to the camp of the Chinese army.

The 340,000 troops of the Duohuo Rati Department set up more than a dozen large camps, and the 30,000 most elite iron cavalry troops were stationed in the Chinese army camp, and the remaining soldiers and horses were camped around the Chinese army camp in turn, even if they looked at it with the faint moonlight, it was magnificent.

Such a majestic scene calmed down the restless heart of the Duohuorati tribe leader Bayankra a little. However, when he thought of the strong combat power of the Ming army and the earth-shattering bloody battle outside the Iron Gate, the mood of the Duohuorati clan leader Bayankla, who had just calmed down, became chaotic again, and there was even a faint trace of fear.

The patriarch of the Duohuorati tribe, Bayankra, walked around the camp irritably, and the guards around him subconsciously slowed down, for fear that one of them would accidentally touch the moldy head and become Bayankla's punching bag.

Suddenly, there was a loud and inexplicable roar in the night, and immediately after, several large camps around the Chinese army camp were flickering with fire, and huge explosions were heard one after another!

"What's the matter!"

The patriarch of the Duohuorati tribe, Bayankla, looked at the surrounding fires in surprise and shouted, "Send someone to take a look!" The Chinese army is all assembled and ready for war! ”

It didn't take long for the sentinels sent out to come back one after another, and brought bad news to the head of the Duohuorati tribe, Bayankla: the Ming army launched a surprise attack from the north, east, and west at the same time, the strength of the Ming army is unknown, but the offensive is very fierce, and four large battalions have been broken around, and many soldiers and horses are panicked, and even begin to retreat!

The confrontation of these ten days has consumed too much of the vigor of the Hu army, so that these Hu people relaxed their vigilance, and at this time, the Ming army attacked on three sides at the same time, which suddenly made the Duohuo Ti army chaotic.

The patriarch of the Duohuorati tribe, Bayankla, shouted loudly: "Immediately notify Yili to send reinforcements from the interior to attack the Ming army in the west!" ”

"The battalions in the north and east are holding their camps, no one is allowed to retreat, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

Immediately afterward, the patriarch of the Duohuorati tribe, Bayankla, looked at the south without any sound and thought, he was a little distracted, but soon the sound of fierce battles in all directions dragged him back to reality.

"The Chinese army's iron cavalry immediately dispatched, converged the soldiers and horses in the three large camps in the south, and followed me to flank the soldiers and horses of the Ming army in the east!"

The patriarch of the Duohuorati tribe, Bayankla, was ready to let Yili raid the Ming army in the west with his inner troops and horses, and he led his troops to raid the Ming army in the east, and then the two armies combined forces to defeat the Ming army in the north, thus inflicting heavy losses on the Ming army's soldiers and horses.

It took less than a stick of incense to follow Bayankla's attack, rushing all the way to the south, converging the defenders of three large battalions along the way, and the strength of the army increased to 120,000!

At this time, Bayankra was surrounded by iron horses and a large army, and the uneasiness in his heart was also swept away, replaced by a strong fighting spirit.

"The whole army accelerates!"

After an order, the 120,000 iron cavalry army rolled forward, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed out for several miles, and at this time, Bayankra roared again: "To the left!" Left! Flank the left flank of the Ming army! ”

The 120,000-strong iron cavalry army, led by the Chinese iron cavalry, turned east in the darkness of the night, and rushed towards the soldiers and horses of Shaanxi Town, which were storming the large camps in the east of the Duohuo Thorn Division.

Suddenly, a "ghost" in the dark appeared in the right rear of the Iron Cavalry Army of the Duohuo Thorn Division, and an equally large army of Iron Cavalry suddenly rushed out of the night, like a bloodthirsty lion, roaring angrily and rushing towards the Tartar Iron Cavalry Army that was charging at high speed.

Looking at this army of iron cavalry, the patriarch of the Duohuorati tribe, Bayankla, had a hideous face and let out a howl of despair.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

A huge crash sounded, and Zhou Zongsheng, the chief officer of Hanhai Town, led the 110,000 iron cavalry soldiers of the Changshui Army and the servant army to crash straight into the Tartar army, and the huge impact force instantly interrupted the Tartar iron cavalry array!

At this time, the 120,000 Tartar iron cavalry army was hit in the head, as if it was a beast that had been stopped and broken its back, and could only collapse to the ground and wail in pain. The iron cavalry of the Ming army became more and more brave, and under the leadership of Zhou Zongsheng, they continued to increase their speed, galloping across the wilderness under the cover of night, and completely scattered the Tartar iron cavalry army!

"Regroup the queue! Reorganize the queue! ”

The patriarch of the Duohuorati tribe, Bayanke, shouted in vain, but the 120,000 iron cavalry army under his command was still scattered, and under the high-speed impact of the Ming army's iron cavalry army, it gradually collapsed, and it only lasted less than half an hour before it was completely defeated!

"Great Khan! Let's go! ”

A commander of a thousand people dragged the reins of the war horse of the patriarch of the Duohuorati tribe and shouted loudly, wanting to escort Bayankra to return to the camp first, after all, there are still more than 200,000 troops there, if they fight with all their might, the Ming army may not be able to take advantage.

But it was too late, at this time the Ming army of iron cavalry had rushed over, thousands of horses and lances of the Changshui army to open the way, and then tens of thousands of iron cavalry army also launched a group charge, the momentum was huge and unstoppable!

The heart of Bayankra, the patriarch of the Duohuorati tribe, was full of fear, is this still a Han Chinese? How could the Han have such a strong army of iron cavalry?

These questions have not yet been answered, and the leader of the Duohuorati tribe, Bayankla, along with thousands of soldiers and horses around him, was completely overwhelmed by the torrent of iron cavalry of the Ming army!

Zhou Zongsheng was already covered in blood at this time, and he was hearty, seeing that the Tartar iron cavalry army had been dispersed, he left 30,000 servant troops to continue to encircle and suppress the surrounding rout, and then he led the remaining more than 70,000 iron cavalry army to rush towards the Tartar camp.

More than 70,000 iron cavalry troops launched a charge from the south, and the rolling iron cavalry completely broke through several large camps in the south that had no one to handle, and then swept most of the Tartar company camp from the south.

"Qi Xian, Zhou Zongsheng, the chief military officer of Hanhai Town, has come to report: The battalions in the south of the Tartars have been breached, and the army of more than 100,000 iron cavalry has been annihilated in the north, and the army has beheaded the patriarch Bayankra of the Huorati tribe!"

"Qi Qi Bingxian, Yan Hu, the chief military officer of Taiyuan Town, has come to report that the Eagle Yang Army, the Zhichong Army, and the Yue Cavalry Army have broken through the battalions west of the Tartars, and are currently encircling and suppressing the remnants of the enemy army!"

"Qi Qi Bingxian, Qiu Dacheng, the chief soldier of Shaanxi Town, has come to report that all departments in Shaanxi Town are storming the battalions in the east, and the Tartar soldiers and horses are unable to resist and are retreating!"

One good news after another came, Liu Juntao laughed, pointed to the night in the west and said: "Benxian is still worried that Yili will come to the aid of the inside, so he specially asked Sun Xu to lead the Tiger Ben Army to establish a defensive line in the northwest, and now it seems that this is a redundant move!" ”

Xiang Qun said with a smile: "These Tartars look menacing, but they all have their own ghosts, and they don't even understand the truth of cold lips and teeth!" ”

"So much the best!"

Liu Juntao said loudly: "Since Yili chooses to watch the play, then let's sing this big drama well!" ”

"Order: All units are attacking with all their might, and the battle must end before dawn!"

Liu Juntao wanted to gather and annihilate the 340,000 troops of the Duohuo Thorn Division before dawn, and then lead the victorious division to raid the interior and annihilate the 440,000 Tartar coalition troops under the city of Turpan.

However, at this moment, Liu Juntao received an urgent report that he did not receive it at night: Yili took advantage of the chaos and fled westward with the 100,000 troops inside!

"This group of rubbish fled without a fight!"
