In order to effectively confuse the opponent and avoid exposing the purpose, the main force of the volunteer troops concentrated in the south was two regiments of the other four divisions, and there was still about one regiment of troops to carry out the task of luring the enemy in the original position. In order to avoid being exposed, the 13,000-strong ambush troops of the eight regimental-level units that had moved south very early had to concentrate on lurking more than 20 miles away from the two divisions of the Second Division of the Volunteer Right Army, and only after the enemy's night attack had begun to approach the past as quickly as possible to start an encirclement.

Such an operation not only requires perfect and even strict discipline in covert operations, but also has high requirements for large-scale coordination at night, which is not something that ordinary teams can carry out, but these do not seem to be too much of a problem for the volunteer troops who have been trained for many months.

When the encirclement was first unfurled, the formation was still very thin. Those who carried out the task of blocking the enemy in an area of about two or three miles in the direction of the enemy's main attack still had only a very sparse force of about one regiment. If the main force of the Kazakhs at this time still had a perfect horse team impact ability, they would not be able to stop the opponent's desperate breakthrough no matter what, when the difference in strength at night was not conducive to the full play of combat effectiveness.

At this time, a series of fires accompanied by violent explosions reminded the main force of the Kazakhs, who had just been hit by the blasting attack, what they had encountered not long ago, and the original violent impact suddenly withered. But at this time, it was too late to turn around and turn. Unlike the previous remnants of the troops who used light shotguns as the main means of blasting attacks, this time the blasting attack mainly used three or two bombs as the main force of the projectiles, and tens of thousands of three or two bombs fired horizontally from hundreds of explosive points, although they did not give a devastating blow to the Kazakhs in the direction of the main attack of the breakthrough, but still caused the other side to completely fall into chaos because of the sudden loss of thousands of casualties.

When Yangir Khan reorganized his ranks as quickly as possible and prepared to launch a surprise attack, at least three regiments gathered from all sides also gathered from all sides, and when they had already suffered many casualties, they were once again besieged and fired by thousands of elite archers at night, and suffered thousands of casualties and losses again in a short time, and the main force of the Kazakhs was inevitably forced to retreat. After all, in the area of the river, which has been a small country for thousands of years, even the relatively strong Kazakhs do not have the tenacious and strong casualty bearing ability of the main force of Jianzhou. When the main Kazakh force that was preparing to break through was forced to retreat back, the 2nd Division of the Volunteer Right Army that remained behind also launched fierce fire against the enemy troops who had fled.

In order to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the chaos of the offensive to still have a small number of elite remnants to break through during the night, all units were relatively cautious in closing the encirclement, and did not rashly launch a general offensive as in previous operations, but gradually shrank the encirclement network. Even so, in just half an hour or so, the encirclement network against less than 40,000 remnants of the enemy, although it still did not seem heavy, it was not obvious that there were any major loopholes. It was in this situation that the volunteer forces launched a decisive assault.

In the previous battles, the main force of the Kazakhs was most impressed by the firepower that the grassroots soldiers could also deploy like archers. However, what the Kazakhs did not expect was that the foot melee attacks launched by these strong enemies were also extremely sharp, and they often had the courage to let the muskets with steel spears open fire fiercely when they approached the melee combat distance of the long soldiers, and then launched a fearless melee assault.

The huge disparity in morale and tactics meant that the fierce battle did not last long. Unlike many of the elite Ming army in the south or the main force of Jianzhou, the main force of these Kazakhs obviously did not have the will to fight to the end in a crisis situation, and many people chose to surrender or fall down and pretend to be dead when the battle was hopeless.

In order to avoid possible accidents, the regiments of the volunteer army were still very cautious to ask those people to hand over their weapons and equipment at a fixed place first, and only to carry out the final inventory of the battlefield when the sky was gradually brightening. It was also on this cold night that many seriously wounded Kazakhs lost their lives.

By the time the sky was fully lit for the cleaning and final count, there were still more than 30,000 healthy prisoners. Yangir Khan, who did not have time to change the soldier's uniform and make relevant preparations, and many Kazakh generals were quickly screened.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor! Your military might is rare in the world, and that's not an exaggeration. His Majesty the Emperor will surely create a great cause that even the Mongols did not create in the end! It's just that the world is too vast, and even if the opponent's army is defeated, there are still many places to be governed. Sometimes, when encountering strong fortifications and fortified cities, more minions are needed to reduce the casualties of an invincible army... "Yangir Khan was clearly not a particularly heroic man, or a man who could grow up in the middle of the river, and his prestige was not as important as in the Mongolian steppe. What's more, at this time, Yangjir Khan knew very well that if the main force of the 60,000 or 70,000 Kazakhs, including the officers and generals, were wiped out, then it can be said that the great cause created by the ancestors would undoubtedly be completely decayed, and there would be no chance to turn over, so no matter what, Yangir Khan felt that he should strive for the opportunity to survive at this time, not only for himself, but also for the sake of millions of Kazakhs.

How to deal with the people in Central Asia, Xiao Xuan certainly had a plan. Therefore, the commander of the 1st Volunteer Division, who was responsible for leading the troops in battle, said without much hesitation: "You and yourself may still have some value, and the same is true for some important leaders of various ethnic groups. I am just to reduce the burden of the people in the middle of the river, of course our army will not save the tiger and return to the mountain easily with your words. Some of your officers and generals are bound to be purged ... ”

Xiao Xuan did not adopt the method of the Katyn Forest in his plan deployment before sending troops, but spent some effort and time to let some businessmen who knew Kazakh language personally work among the captured soldiers, and found more than 1,000 lower-level soldiers who were usually oppressed by veterans and superiors without spending too much price. These more than 1,000 Kazakhs have become "executioners" who purge all the officers and even the backbone of the veteran army?

How could an ancient civilization suffer such a blow? As long as the main exploiting class carrying civilization is eliminated, it will be easily swallowed up and digested by foreign races.
