The battle in Khotan lost a lot of bullets and shells, and if you want to take further action, you must replenish it, but Yuan Yingtai's ability is outstanding, coupled with Zhu Youxiao's attention, the supply is now on the way, Yuan Chonghuan began to train troops in Khotan City, especially the tactics of street fighting, and then patiently waiting for the arrival of supplies.

Besides, Lu Xiangsheng Department, after receiving Zhu Youxiao's will, he led more than 30,000 people to run westward, as for the reserve materials, Yuan Yingtai worried, hunger and thirst along the way do not need to be detailed, but after arriving at the Shandan Racecourse, he rested for seven days, and the local governor of the racecourse asked for 5,000 Shandan horses, and trained while walking, and it took three days to rush to Ganzhou, where he needed to rest, because then he went forward to the great desert, and he must prepare enough drinking water and food, otherwise he would be looking for death.

Lu Xiangsheng's arrival pleased the Suzhou garrison Cui Tingwu, and also busy Cui Tingwu, happy that Lu Xiangsheng was going to conquer the Western Regions, and he could also go to the national merit - the opportunity for promotion had arrived. He was busy because Lu Xiangsheng needed too many things, and the camels had to be 2,000 heads, and at the same time they had to be equipped with enough water bladders. Of course, these things are usually necessary here, but Lu Xiangsheng wants too much and needs time to prepare. When talking to Cui Tingwu, Lu Xiangsheng learned that this person is indeed extraordinary, since his ancestors have been stationed in the border of Suzhou for five consecutive generations, his father is the first garrison, a brother and a brother are military attachés, and now he is serving in the mainland, and he himself is the son inheriting his father's business and continuing to garrison Suzhou.

With Cui Tingwu, the head snake and living map, Lu Xiangsheng is much more convenient, here is about 1,200 miles away from Hami, and now Hami is occupied by the Yarkand Khanate, Lu Xiangsheng plans to attack Hami, and then take Turpan, Hami is the future transit station, because his south is still the territory of the Yarkand Khanate, although separated by the desert, but also have to be guarded. After the plan, Lu Xiangsheng asked Cui Tingwu to follow the logistics materials, and he took 20,000 Hetao light cavalry and 10,000 Hetao infantry cavalry to Hami directly, crossed the Yumen Pass for a little rest, stayed overnight in Guazhou, marched early the next day, and arrived in Hami in the afternoon. There is no place for people here to escape, there are large deserts and Gobi deserts all around, and if there are fewer people going out, they are looking for death, so except for a few who died in battle, the rest surrendered.

Lu Xiangsheng saw that there were no regular soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate here, so he decided not to wait for Cui Tingwu, but left 2,000 men and horses to stay and wait, and he went to Turpan, and asked Cui Tingwu to go directly to Turpan to deliver supplies after he arrived. Lu Xiangsheng rested in Hami for one night, and went to Turpan the next day, and stayed in Shanshan County at night, which is good, rested early, and reorganized the troops the next day.

The pioneers of the team leader are Liu Fangliang and Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang is known as the "White Horse Silver Gun", Tian Jianxiu is resourceful, and Lu Xiangsheng is very relieved that the combination of the two is very assured. Less than 200 miles from Turpan in Shanshan County, the cavalry led by Liu Fangliang and Tian Jianxiu rushed to the vicinity of Turpan in two hours, then had a meal and rested, and sent horses to reconnoiter the situation, these horses were Cui Tingwu's veterans plus a few cavalrymen, and they pretended to be businessmen to investigate the situation. As a result of the investigation, Turpan now has only more than 8,000 troops of the Yarkand Khanate. So Tian Mixiu suggested luring the enemy out of the city to fight, the method was to send a team of men and horses to rob a tribe, lure the enemy out, and then lure the enemy into the waiting area, and then destroy it. Liu Fangliang adopted Tian Jianxiu's suggestion, this is a desert area, there are many sand dunes, Tian Jianxiu proposed to use 1,000 people to ambush behind the dunes, 1,000 people on the left and right sides of the dunes, set up mortars and get ready, Liu Fangliang led 2,000 people to be responsible for luring the enemy.

After the two finished the plan, Liu Fangliang led 2,000 people to go straight to the east of Turpan City, there was a tribe in the east of the city, the people of the tribe were having lunch, Liu Fangliang rushed over with his subordinates, regardless of 3721, a big killing, the tribe of more than 2,000 people was killed, so many people ran to the city. The sound of killing outside the city burst into flames, which had already alarmed the guards of Turpan, and when someone entered the city for help, the guards had gathered their men and horses and rushed out of the city gate. In order to make the performance more realistic, Liu Fangliang led the soldiers to rush to their vanguard, and when the anger of the Yarkand Khanate came up and wanted to surround them, Liu Fangliang turned his horse and quickly retreated, and the Yarkand Khanate troops chased after them, so they were lured over.

After Liu Fangliang's cavalry ran over the top of the slope, they quickly divided into two groups and turned to both sides, and the soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate had just reached more than half of the slope. Tian Jianxiu waved his hand, and the mortars hidden behind the slope and on both sides were quickly fired, and the artillery fire covered the entire forward on the spot, and then the artillery fire was extended, beating the soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate dizzy, and a thousand people on each side outflanked the back, and Liu Fangliang led the team to quickly counterattack. For a while, the soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate who were ambushed began to rout, at this time the Shandan horses showed their advantages, fast speed, good endurance, the fleeing Yarkand Khanate soldiers gave their backs to the Ming army, this kind of good thing is rare, the Ming army unceremoniously surrounded and killed, and the Yarkand Khanate soldiers of 8,000 people were chased and killed in embarrassment, scattered and fled, and finally were able to run out of the encirclement.

Turpan City, which lost its army, was like a girl who was stripped naked, Liu Fangliang and Tian Jianxiu led the soldiers to swagger into Turpan City to enjoy their spoils, whether it was the soldiers who dared to resist or the common people, Liu Fangliang ordered them to shoot until no one in the city dared to resist. Then they began to investigate the population in the city, after all, this is a commercial transportation artery, there are all kinds of people of all races, and they actually found a lot of Ming Dynasty people who did business here. Naturally, the people of the Yarkand Khanate could not stay, or kill or sell, while others could stay. Then set up a large camp and waited for Lu Xiangsheng's arrival, as for the small tribes nearby, of course, they didn't have to wait for Lu Xiangsheng's order to start purging.

After Lu Xiangsheng and his troops arrived, they began to clear the Yarkand Khanate within a radius of several hundred miles, driving them into the desert in the south. After Cui Tingwu's logistics supplies arrived, Lu Xiangsheng handed him 10,000 horses and asked Cui Tingwu to start encircling and suppressing the oasis in the desert.

After the 30,000 cavalry sent by Yuan Yingtai arrived, Lu Xiangsheng began to march towards Urumqi, which is located at the northern foot of the middle of the Tianshan Mountains, and is now only a small broken city, and there are not many people to defend it, so it was quickly occupied by Lu Xiangsheng. In fact, Lu Xiangsheng can also march directly from Turpan to the South Tianshan Road, but Zhu Youxiao's will to him is to go to the northwest, so he left 10,000 horses in Turpan to protect the back road, so that Yuan Yingtai's supplies can be unblocked, and by the way, he also asked Zhu Youxiao for instructions to immigrate to this generation, because if you want to occupy a place, it is useless to have no population.

In fact, this matter is also simple, 200,000 road construction army, Zhu Youxiao gave them the most favorable conditions, let them take their families along the way to carry supplies to this generation to settle down, farming each person decides how much, tax exemption within three years, preferential policies are tempting, after several years of publicity, people have no longer apathy to migration, but feel that every time the Ming Dynasty immigrants are a shortcut to get rich, immediately there are more than 50,000 people with their families, a total of nearly 200,000 people moved to Turpan to Urumqi in more than three months, Turpan City has reached nearly 50,000 people, and initially has the scale of a city.

After settling down in the rear, the time came to the end of June, and before Lu Xiang could advance into the army, the Mughal people who occupied the Ili area brought troops to attack him. Lu Xiangsheng didn't say a word, he brought 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 cavalry to meet him, and the Mughal came with an army of more than 80,000 people, and the two sides met together on the north side of Urumqi, and the Mughal people were 80,000 troops, and all of them were cavalry. Lu Xiangsheng is a handsome man with both civil and military skills, he used 30,000 cavalry to line up the position, and after the Mughal people reached the place of the shelling, the mortars brought by the 30,000 foot cavalry bombarded violently, from the nearest 60 zhang, to the farthest 200 zhang, was beaten into a sea of fire by the Ming army, and the Mughal team was immediately a mess, taking this opportunity The cavalry on both sides immediately killed. The Mughal people, who had never been equipped with such firearms, were stunned, and when they saw the Ming cavalry rushing over with sabers, they immediately fled, and in less than an hour, the menacing Mughal people left a corpse and fled in panic.
