Chapter Sixty-Eight: Ningde Sets Up the Formation to Fight the Moon, that is, others

Ningde now has one more thing that makes him very happy, that is, he doesn't have to transport food to Jiang Zhu and them. The Russians have already used a large amount of grain to pay for their arms, which has been shipped to them by ginger. Moreover, when the winter froze, Ningde and others had already transported small diesel-powered grain processing machinery to the wharf on the bank of the Irtysh River, and after the river was civilized, it was transported by boat to the Ural Mountains.

The food saved here is very abundant. Ningde and the Mongols discussed it, and then concentrated their men and Ningde's brigade on the south side of Balkhash Lake for repair. At the same time, Ningde also let the sappers behind him still have prisoners, and hurried to build the road.

Now there is already a car regiment in Ningde, more than 500 cars, and almost all the new cars produced by the Taiyuan Automobile Factory have been given to them in Ningde first. Ningde knew that as long as the road was repaired, the car would be able to transport supplies. If the supplies are sufficient, there will be no opponent that they cannot defeat. There is another thing that Ningde can be regarded as listening to Jiang Jian, that is, to build an airfield as much as possible on the way forward.

Due to Ouyang He's personal supervision, several airfields have been built between the Ural Mountains and Hami that can temporarily take off, land and refuel. At the beginning of spring, the plane carried out a test flight from the Ural Mountains to Hami. The air route between the two places has been opened.

Ningde saw the photos of the ground situation taken around the plane after taking off from Hami, and was also very interested in the plane. Therefore, Ningde made up his mind to continue to build an airfield when he went west, and at the same time asked for help from his family.

In fact, the command center was very happy to see that Ningde was interested in the aircraft. After receiving Ningde's request, Ouyang He asked Li Wei to immediately organize some technicians to go to Ningde and their side to support. Because the ground site needs the support of equipment and technicians, the aircraft can take off and land normally for maintenance. Even the good gasoline used in the aircraft and the ammunition used also need special support.

Due to the temporary signing of a contract treaty with Russia on the Ural Mountains and the new demarcation of the border, there will be no major war for the time being, with the consent of the command center, Jiang Pai transferred the original three planes to Ningde and two of them. The delta wing flying team, in addition to leaving ten, was also transferred to Ningde.

The Second Army of the Cavalry, which went to cooperate with Ningde, in order to speed up the gallop to aid Ningde and them, each of them had two or even three horses, and after they were in order, they left the Ural Mountains and came south.

They agreed with Ningde that they would meet on the eastern side of the Aral Sea and have a decisive battle with Yue, that is, the others.

But before Ningde and them finished resting, they sent all the scouts to report that they had gathered a few troops to kill them.

Ningde summoned all the generals to study it, and they all thought that this was a good thing, and now the place occupied by Yue Jibei was too big, and if they didn't gather together, it would be difficult to eliminate them.

Tashkent is an ancient city with a history of more than 2,000 years, located on the west side of the Tien Shan Mountains, in the east of Uzbekistan, in the west of the Chatkar Mountains in the Chirchik River Valley. In the palace of the Tashkent Khan, the Khan and his ministers were studying the news of the Mongol invasion from the frontier.

When King Yuebek received news that the Mongols had been killed again, he immediately summoned his ministers to discuss the matter. Yue is that others have not forgotten that they inherited the original Mongol Kipchak Khanate, but now they have completely severed any contact with the Mongols, and even the Mongols in the territory have converted to *** religion. They and the Mongols were already people of completely different beliefs.

One of the chiefs of the tribe said, "King Khan! There was no way for us to succumb to the Mongols before, and our ancestors really couldn't fight the devil-like Genghis Khan. The Mongols at that time were simply too powerful. However, now the Mongols have come to the door again, but they are making a big mistake. It's not time for Genghis Khan to come now, we now have a vast land, a mighty and invincible army, and it's time to teach them a lesson! ”

Another said, "I don't think there is any need for us to fight to the death with them, so send a man to ask the Mongols what they are doing." ”

People in Central Asia prefer to spend their time and energy on doing business and making money, so some people say, "Yes! King Khan! We are very stable now, and it is time to recuperate. Can you not fight, or not fight! ”

The king of Khan couldn't help but listen to their words, and slapped the table and shouted: "You cowardly cowards, hundreds of thousands of Mongolians, have already killed us in front of our door, and you are still saying such things here, I am simply ashamed of you!" ”

When the ministers heard the Khan say this, they knew that the Khan's determination to fight a war had been made, and the ministers who did not express their attitude said that they must not spare the Mongols easily, and they all supported fighting a war and drove the Mongols back.

The Khan knew that many of his ministers were steered by the wind, but what the Khan wanted was for everyone to support this battle. Therefore, the king of Khan sent a group of envoys to the Mongol camp to find out, and at the same time mobilized an army of 100,000 to meet the Mongols.

The envoy was really warmly received by the Mongols, and the Mongols told him that we came this time, and there was no malice, because there were Han people chasing and killing behind, and we wanted to borrow a road to go west, and asked the envoy to go back and convey the request to Yue, the king of the other Khan.

The envoy brought back the request of the Mongols, and the Khan once again called a meeting.

At the meeting, one of the ministers said: "King Khan, we must not allow these barbaric Mongol heretics to go west!" And the land to the west is also the land of our month. Just because the land doesn't belong to us doesn't mean it won't be ours in the future. ”

"Yes, yes!" Someone said, "Not only are we going to stop them here, we can't let them go around from somewhere else." ”

The Khan recognized everyone's opinions very much, and seized the time, mobilized his army, and prepared for a big battle with the Mongols. At the same time, the various divisions sent troops to intercept the Mongols and prevent them from going west.

The Mongols sent away the envoy of Yue, but after waiting for a long time, there was no reply, and the Tanma who went to inquire about the news came, and the news that Yue's brigade was being mobilized.

The anger of the Mongols was also aroused, and they were beaten by the Yaogang people so that they had no power to fight back, and they wanted to take this fire out on Yue, that is, others. From the consciousness of the Mongols, Yue is the other person who was a defeated general under the Mongols before, and was conquered by the Mongols, and this time I have to give them a little color.

But how did they know that the number of the current Yuejie army was far greater than theirs, and the morale was high. The army is even more well-trained. Their army from afar has no advantage at all in front of the moon and others.

After several battles, although the Mongols achieved a lot of results, they suffered a lot of losses, and they had not yet reinforced, and gradually lost their vitality. And although Yue Ji and others suffered a little loss, they did not hurt their vitality, and they quickly replenished it. They also gained a psychological advantage in fighting the Mongols. More importantly, they also grasped a fatal weakness of the Mongols, that is, the Mongols are a great migration of the entire tribe, and if they want to rush through the defense line of others, the elite cavalry can, but the old and young cannot.

Therefore, Yue is the others have adopted a strategy of waiting for work, as long as you don't come, they don't take the initiative to fight the Mongols, because they know that the Mongols still have pursuers behind them, and it is better for the pursuers to destroy the Mongols.

The tactic of the moon is very effective, a large number of Mongols gathered in a small area, the pasture was not enough for them to bring cattle and sheep to eat, a large number of people gathered, and also caused a lot of epidemics. Many Mongols died in this situation.

When the moon was known, the Mongols had already fought with the Han people behind, and they were very happy that they knew that the end of the Mongols had come, so they were waiting for the Han people of the Ming Dynasty to completely solve the Mongols. They knew that the Mongols and the Han were old enemies, and the Han would not miss the opportunity to exterminate the Mongols.

But after some time, Yueji and others received the very depressing news that the Han and Mongols not only did not engage in a life-and-death battle, but also joined forces and set up camp in the south of Lake Balkhash, which was a very good pasture of Yuyue, that is, someone else's own.

Yue Ji others understand that it was the Mongols who surrendered to the Han people of the Ming Dynasty, and now they are advancing with the soldiers to Yue Ji Bei. However, the king of Khan did not understand, when the caravan of the Ming Dynasty passed, he also sent a message to be friendly with Yue Ji forever and to trade for a long time. The Ming Dynasty also spent a lot of money to open up the Silk Road, why is it going to war with us now.

Someone said, "O King Khan! We fell for the Ming Dynasty, and their caravan came to investigate the situation. Now the Ming Dynasty is terrible, the entire Mongols have been defeated by them, their current firearms are very powerful, the strong Mongols are not their opponents at all, otherwise, the Mongols will not flee westward. We need to be careful with them! ”

"Humph! Our month, that is, hundreds of thousands of other people's troops, is not easy to mess with! When the king of Khan heard this, he was furious and said.

All the ministers agreed on this point, that is, the army must be mobilized immediately to fight against the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols. Otherwise, wait for people to come and then mobilize.

Most of the others were still nomadic tribes, and the people who were sent out on horseback quickly gathered a large number of people. Coupled with the original resident professional soldiers, nearly 200,000 horses were soon gathered.

The king of the Khan himself was in command to direct the army to drive the infidels from the east out of the territory of the moon, which is someone else's territory.

Someone suggested: "King Khan, we should send envoys to contact the Ming Dynasty and ask them why they came to invade our territory?" ”

Someone said: "No, now they are not prepared, we can launch a surprise attack and give them a fatal blow." If you send an envoy, it will be easy to prepare the Ming Dynasty army! ”

The Khan hated them so much that they were arguing, "Shut your mouths!" With such a large number of troop movements, it is impossible for the Mongols and Han Chinese not to know about them. Besides, they have entered our land, let's drive them out and talk to them! Otherwise, what to talk to them about? ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Many of the ministers who accompanied him agreed with the Khan's opinion. Because the mobilization of the whole country has already been carried out, the army is ready, what else is there to say. Everyone agreed that we would talk about it after the fight.

Seeing the boundless company camp, the Khan and his ministers were full of confidence in victory.

The Yuejibei army pressed towards their camp in Ningde from two directions, west and south, with Lake Balkhash to the north.

Ningde's original plan was to wait for the Second Army of the Yaogang Cavalry to come over, and the preparations here were almost complete, so he would advance in the direction of the Aral Sea to attract Yue's other troops to attack, so he would cooperate with the Second Cavalry Army to give Yue's others a fatal blow in the Aral Sea. But I didn't expect that the anxious month was that others were in a hurry, so they attacked first. At this time, the 2nd Cavalry Army was still on the way.

Ning De is not afraid of leaving the army in these months, but he can't fight according to his plan, and he is very depressed. However, if you are depressed, you still have to beat the moon back.

Ningde is still very entangled in one thing, whether this battle is to expose his strength. Because with their own army and the Mongols, it is impossible to completely annihilate the moon and others, if the strength is exposed, the future moon is that others are on guard, and if they do not meet their own hard-hitting and scatter guerrillas, their own heavy firepower will not be effective. That's the most troublesome thing. Without using heavy firepower, a large number of cavalry from the other army attacked like a mountain and a sea, which was also very terrifying, of course, with light and heavy machine guns, it would not be a loss. However, some losses may be inevitable.

Now Ningde didn't care about anything else, and sent away some of the old and weak Mongols, and there were still many Mongols in the camp. Ningde knew that he had to go on the defensive, holding the camp in order to keep the people from being killed.

Ning De discussed with the Mongolian prince, and immediately began to seize the time to cut down trees and build camps and fortifications. However, the Mongols seemed to be very unimpressed with the construction of the camp to defend it, and the Mongols said to Ningde: "General Ning, no matter how strong the camp is, there will be a time when it will be breached!" I think it's better to use our cavalry advantage to fight them in the field! ”

Ning De smiled and asked, "Are you better than when you fought with us?" ”

"This, this ....." The Mongol couldn't answer.

Ningde said, "Then listen to me!" Build the camp as I asked! ”

What made the Mongols even more incomprehensible was that Ningde also had people dig a lot of ditches on the façade of the camp. Ningde didn't give an explanation, just drew something on the map and let them follow it.

Wait for the moon to be someone else's approach.

Ningde ordered two cavalry divisions of the 1st Cavalry Corps, with 30,000 Mongol cavalry, to leave the camp.

Several Mongolian households didn't understand and came to ask Ningde.

One asked, "General Ning, we are all here!" Originally, our number was much smaller than that of Yue and others, so why did we transfer the main force away? ”

"Huh! Am I here with you young and old? Ning De smiled and said, "What's the use of the cavalry staying in the camp?" Let them go to a place of abundance! ”

Looking at Ningde's expression, the thousands of households knew that Ningde must have his own arrangements. However, they had fought a few battles with Yueji, and knew that Yueji's cavalry was also very good at fighting, and they would never dare to underestimate the enemy.

One Wanhu said: "General Ningde, we believe in you!" I have informed my tribesmen that as long as the moon is rushed, we will fight to the death, regardless of men, women, young and old. ”

"Humph! It was a dereliction of duty on the part of our soldiers to allow men, women, and children to participate in the war. Ning De snorted and finished speaking, his face sinking like water.

The Mongolian households didn't know what to say, so they hurriedly left one by one.

The monthly army of others was nearly 200,000 people, and the people who transported supplies added up to more than 300,000 people. It was so overwhelming that even the camp couldn't see the edge.

The Khan wanted to drive the Mongols and Han Chinese back in a single battle.

However, it is not an easy task to command and mobilize such a large army. Yue Ji was divided into three roads and surrounded the camp of the Han and Mongolian coalition forces.

Seeing the Han and Mongols hiding in the tall wooden camp together, not daring to come out, the Khan King who came to watch the battle was even more confident. This shows that the opponent is afraid to come out when he sees his army coming.

The Mongols in the camp were really worried that the moon outside would be killed by others. They looked out from a high place, and the moon was someone else's camp as far as the eye could see. Some tents were pitched not far outside the camp. You can also see that Yue is someone else pushing a lot of black cannons.

The Mongols also pushed the cannon out, and Ning De came over to take a look, smiled and said, "You guys get all these things back, don't get it** set the camp on fire." ”

The Mongols were angry, but they didn't dare to say it. They didn't know what this mysterious General Ningde was planning.

Although Ningde looked relaxed, the infantry army was stationed in the trenches and battle positions around the camp, but he didn't dare to relax at all, and he was not allowed to undress and sleep every day. The sappers seemed to be forever busy constantly checking the electronic control end. The sappers had long laid out a complex minefield in front of the camp. The advantage of this preset battlefield is that here, you can make a lot of preparations in advance.

How will the people praise themselves when they return to Tashkent after their victory? His wives who are as beautiful as flowers will serve themselves as heroes. Now there was a kind of cat and mouse meaning, and when everything was ready, the Khan ordered his colleagues who could speak Chinese and Mongolian to write a letter of surrender in Turkic, Chinese, and Mongolian, and shoot arrows into the camp. At the same time, rows of cannons were deliberately placed outside the camp to threaten the people inside the camp.

The letter of persuasion said: "General of the Ming Dynasty and General of Mongolia: You have committed a serious crime by violating the territory of our Yue, that is, someone else's khanate, without reason. Our Khan himself has come to conquer you with a large army, and in consideration of the mercy of our Khan, I will give you a chance to surrender and live. As long as you come out and surrender, we promise Allah that you will be kept alive. Our time limit is before noon, and you must open the gates of the camp and surrender to the camp. Otherwise, our army will level your camp and leave you dead without a place to bury!" ”

Ning De read the persuasion letter, and said with a smile: "Yue is someone else's Chinese learning is good!" ”

After reading it, the Mongolian households looked at Ningde and asked, "How do you reply!" General Ning! ”

"Haha! Wait! After noon, it will be clear! Ningde said with a laugh.
