The fourth wave of the Yarkand Khanate's attack began, there were nearly 10,000 people shouting in a dense line, shouting slogans and pouring over, when entering the fifty zhang death zone, the Ming army began to shoot, but these people seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, not afraid of the death in front of them at all, just stuffy their heads and rushed forward. Li Hongji had already changed two groups of soldiers who had opened fire, and this attack had not yet been repulsed, and when Kankan changed to the fourth group of soldiers, they had already rushed to within 20 zhang. Li Hongji had no choice but to order the soldiers in the inner layer to prepare their sabers and plan to fight when necessary. Just when Li Hongji was about to fight, he suddenly saw through the smoke of gunpowder that the people of the Yarkand Khanate in front of him were already sparsely populated, and without waiting for hand-to-hand combat, all the people of the Yarkand Khanate were killed in battle, and there was not even a single one alive.

In the face of such a group of Yarkand Khanate, who are not afraid of death, Li Hongji also has to admire, and he is also a little worried in his heart, can he withstand the next wave of attacks? Li Hongji has no land in his heart, it seems that he must be ready to retreat, if the next attack is within 30 zhang, the enemy is still not afraid of death, then get on the horse and fight and retreat from the rear side, out of the battlefield, as for the broken one, it must be himself and his own soldiers.

After the end of the fourth wave of attacks, the Yarkand Khanate were also dumbfounded, although they were not afraid of death, but it did not mean that they were steel and iron bones and did not die, the breath of death shook all the Yarkand Khanate, and the four waves of attacks made them lose nearly half of the young and strong herdsmen warriors, but also aroused their anger. After the prayer ceremony was done again, they adopted the shield tactic after the consultation of those who came behind, and the people in front of them all put up the large cowhide shields after several layers, and from the top of the slope it looked like a moving cowhide wall. Li Hongji gasped, it seems that this time it is more than lucky, because the penetration of this rifle is limited, even if it can penetrate the cowhide shield, the lethality of the people behind is also limited, in order to reduce unnecessary losses, Li Hongji is ready to retreat, otherwise he will be entangled by several times the enemy, even if he can get out, he will suffer heavy losses, Li Hongji must avoid this situation.

Just when Li Hongji was about to retreat, his soldiers held binoculars and observed the terrain around, which was also a tacit understanding. Suddenly, the soldiers shouted: "My lord, the reinforcements are coming, Lord Yuan is here with the troops." ”

Li Hongji looked at it in a blink of an eye, it was indeed Yuan Chonghuan who came with a large group of men and horses at a critical time, the overwhelming Ming army, rushed over from the left side of the small soil slope, and the first was Liu Zongmin, who led more than 5,000 cavalry to the right rear of the Yarkand Khanate, and then the infantry cavalry of the Ming army also came from behind, and the small mortar unit of 3,000 people was lined up on the back side of the slope top. At this time, the Yarkand Khanate had already attacked a distance of less than eighty zhang, and the small mortars suddenly began to fire, and in an instant, the flames were everywhere, the dry cowhide shields were torn apart, and some had already ignited flames, and the Yarkand Khanate, who formed a dense charging formation, were blown to the point of flesh and blood, and a piece of minced flesh fell when a shell fell. No matter how fierce the people were, they couldn't withstand the blows one after another, and with the arrival of Yuan Chonghuan, the people of the Yarkand Khanate finally collapsed under the bombardment of small mortars, and this time they completely lost their fighting spirit.

Under the ferocious blow of Yuan Chonghuan's army, the Yarkand Khanate scattered and fled, and the Yarkand Khanate, who had already dismounted from the war horse, was still the opponent of the Ming cavalry, and the infantry cavalry was also considered cavalry, in order to avoid the enemy from fighting the trapped beasts, Yuan Chonghuan ordered the Ming army to surround the three missing one, and chased and killed in the back without hurry, and Li Hongji, who had reorganized the team, also rushed down with the cavalry and Xi Lingsetaiji's men and horses, and after saying hello to Yuan Chonghuan, with a tired body, he also entered the ranks of pursuit.

When the pursuit reached Hadeling, the Yarkand Khanate was no longer one in ten, Yuan Chonghuan ordered to quickly speed up the attack, and soon surrounded the remnants of the defeated army, including those women and children, in the small city of Delingha, and after the artillery bombardment, they entered the city and slaughtered, and those unlucky Yarkand Khanate suffered a crushing defeat in Delingha.

After cleaning up the bloody battlefield and sorting out the captured supplies, Yuan Chonghuan's troops rested in the small city of Delingha and began their march to the top of the Qaidam Basin. However, until the rendezvous with Hong Chengchou, there were no large-scale battles, and it seems that the battle at Delingha completely eliminated the fighting confidence of the Yarkand Khanate.

When Yuan Chonghuan arrived at the scheduled meeting and place, he didn't expect that Hong Chengchou had been waiting for a day, Yuan Chonghuan wondered, why is this guy so fast, it is said that Hong Chengchou's line is farther than himself.

It turned out that Hong Chengchou was killed all the way over, in addition to fighting a battle in Dulan County, bombarding Dulan County, and slaughtering the city after blowing up the city gate, plus the three thousand local soldiers he recruited were even more murderous, and as a result, the entire Dulan City was almost a chicken and dog, and those Wusi Tibetans were not as fierce as the Yarkand Khanate, and the stragglers who escaped quickly spread the news of Hong Chengchou's murder to the towns behind, and the result was that the villages and towns behind were terrified, Seeing the arrival of Hong Chengchou's troops, he welcomed him with wine and meat, and then sent food, gold and silver, young and strong, and horses to follow, in a word, he was frightened by Hong Chengchou's ferocity and his bones were crispy.

Hong Chengchou doesn't care about 3721, as long as he doesn't descend, he is extinct, all the way non-stop, the forward troops almost take turns to attack, fighting and marching, there are not many people in this area, and there are fewer people when Hong Chengchou is swept away, so it was not until Golmud that Hong Chengchou met a strong enemy, and they met a tribe with nearly 10,000 blonde hair and blue eyes. Hao Yongzhong led people to go up to fight, but the other party was also fighting to the death, with the speed of the horse, although Hao Yongzhong won, but also lost nearly a thousand injuries. Hong Chengchou was furious, commanded the army to quickly surround the other party in the small earth city, after the shelling was a massacre, and the result was a loss of nearly a thousand people, but although the loss was heavy, the harvest was also very rich, and a large number of gold and silver property and more than 10,000 horses, as well as countless cattle and sheep.

Hong Chengchou asked the logistics troops to march slowly with the wounded, and he himself marched directly with the combat troops, rushed to the meeting place in front of Yuan Chonghuan, and after waiting for a day, the logistics troops arrived, and then Yuan Chonghuan's army also arrived. Then I rested for three days in the place where I would meet, after all, it was very tiring to march for a long time, but fortunately, it was the weather in May, and there was no shortage of things for people to eat Marjue, and the temperature was more suitable.

After resting, Yuan Chonghuan began to march to the next target, looking at the map sent by Zhu Youxiao, Yuan Chonghuan felt a little numb. Zhu Youxiao drew a general route for Yuan Chonghuan according to his original memory and the map in the palace, and the specific route was impossible for him to travel to a well-off family. Fortunately, the footprints of the Yarkand Khanate people marching over did not completely disappear, and there were a few prisoners who were afraid of death as guides, so Yuan Chonghuan dared to march forward.

After three days of rest, Yuan Chonghuan's troops have recovered their combat effectiveness, under the guidance of the guide, quickly marched forward, through the salted zone, the Gobi, the edge of the desert, etc., along the way the wind and sun are not hard, Yuan Chonghuan strictly forbade the soldiers to drink raw water, all water sources must be tested and boiled before drinking, which is also Zhu Youxiao specially advised. After four days of arduous marching, I finally saw the town of Luobu in the evening, at this time there were not many people in Luobu Town, and the Ming army quickly occupied the town, replenished the drinking water here, and rested for a day. Continuing to drive west, there are still nearly 2,000 miles from here to Hotan, and there is a semi-desert area in the middle, Yuan Chonghuan does not dare to stay here for too long, there are too many supply problems. The next destination is the current and the end of the county, the original and the end of the country's capital, now is a small broken village, fortunately there is an oasis in the Cherchen River Valley, Yuan Chonghuan's troops are not thirsty, hungry, but here met a tribe of the Yarkand Khanate, this tribe is about 20,000 people, Yuan Chonghuan ordered Hong Chengchou, Li Hongji They divided and surrounded more than 20,000 people, quickly annihilated, so as not to leak the news, the final result is that all the men are killed, and the women are left only young, There are less than 2,000 people left, and then they are distributed to the logistics supply personnel of the army, because of this month's march, the materials have decreased a lot, and more than 2,000 logistics personnel of more than 10,000 people have nothing to do, so that the personnel of less than 2,000 people are each assigned a wife and stay on the spot to settle down, as for whether these women are willing, this is not a big deal, the women of the nomadic tribe are the same as property, whoever grabs it is who's, so this distribution is not a fuss for them.
