The battles on the Kazakh steppes turned out to be quite comical.

It was a good chase.

The Cossacks, who arrived in large numbers, launched an attack on the Turks on their way and the Kazakhs who protected them. also succeeded again and again, taking advantage of some small advantages.

Xiaoyuz Achwak Khan, who personally led the troops, was extremely embarrassed, but he was helpless.

Compared with combat effectiveness, they are really inferior to the Cossacks.

Even the men and men of the Turks gathered together and remounted their horses, together with the accompanying Wehrmacht cavalry, which was already twice the size of the Cossacks, but still suffered.

Because of the migration of 200,000 Turks, millions of cattle and horses were born, stretching for more than 100 miles.

- Fortunately, the sheep and horses can pick up the snow and eat the dead grass under the snow layer by themselves, otherwise the distance between them will be opened for hundreds of miles, and the forage along the way will not be enough for the cattle, horses and livestock along the way to chew.

So, don't think that 20,000 cavalry is too much. Dragged by ten times as many Turks, dragged down by millions of cattle, sheep and horses, 20,000 people could not beat 10,000 Cossacks.

But just when the people were anxious, the turning point came. The reinforcements sent by Chen Ming arrived, and more than 20,000 Mongolian and Kazakh cavalry arrived with more than 20,000 Mongolian and Kazakh cavalry, led by Wari Khan of Zhongyuzi and Wangqin Bambar, the leader of the former Mongolian Alxa Erut Banner. At this moment, the forces of the enemy and the enemy have reached the point of imbalance.

Although the Cossacks could fight, they were helpless in the face of four times more enemies. Instead, they began to be chased by the combined cavalry of the Mongols, Kazakhs and Turghuts.

Wangqin Bambar's father, Lobzang Dorji, served as the Alxa Banner for forty-four years, and his military achievements were outstanding throughout his life, and he was also the highest knight in the Manchu Dynasty, but it was not slower than others when it was time to 'change his face'.

The Alxa Banner is not among the Six Leagues of Inner Mongolia, but comes from the Erlute Mongol and Shuote Divisions. Originally lived in Xinjiang. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Heshuot was forced by the Dzungar Department, and the Ozirtu led the troops to move to the border of Ganzhou, Gansu Province for nomadism. Accepted by Kangxi, the ranch was given outside the border of Yinchuan Prefecture, south to the border of Gan and Liang, west to Gurnai to connect with Ejin Naturhute Banner, and north to Gobi to connect with the territory of Zasaktu Khan. The title was originally a Zasak Dorobele, and later promoted to the king of Doluo County, Luo Buzang Dorji in the Manchu Qing Dynasty several times in the process of using troops on the salary of Xinjiang have contributed and sold his life, Chen Ming rebelled four years later was promoted to Prince Heshuo. This is not so much a fund-raising for him, but rather a manchu attempt to win over Mongolia.

Five years ago, Lobzang Dorji died of illness, and Wangchen Bambal succeeded him as his father. Chen Ming's plan for Mongolia had already been finalized, and he did not take the opportunity to take away Wangqin Bambar's real power and position.

This gave the Mongolian ministries a good boost in their loyalty to Nanjing.

Now that the Mongols are desperate again, Wangqin Bambal has no luxury of hoping to become an independent country, but he also wants to find a piece of feng shui treasure land in Mongolia in the future.

The emperor's words are very clear, if you want benefits, you can do it, and the emperor has a lot of benefits in his hands. But you have to take credit in exchange, there is still hard work to do without credit, anyway, you have to show your 'worth' first. Otherwise, why would the emperor give you the benefits?

What can you give the emperor?

Did you give your tribe directly to the emperor, or did you contribute horses, cattle and sheep to the emperor one after another? Wasn't it all bought by the logistics department waving money? That's not a contribution.

Therefore, Wangqin Bambal led his troops into Siberia early on, and swept the western part of the North Sea. Now he has worked tirelessly to serve as a bodyguard in the Kazakh steppe.

If you want to say that the Turk tribe was also forced by the scorching Dzungars to go to Europe, there are still some Heshute tribesmen in its department, and there are one or twenty small tribal leaders who have been inherited for hundreds of years. But this is not the root of Wangqin Banbarba's running at all, he came here to make meritorious contributions in front of the emperor.

He made these things very clear, and the nobles and many herdsmen under Wangqin Bambal who were willing to follow the tribe were all willing to follow their bosses.

Therefore, the October debt is repaid quickly.

The Cossacks, who had been happily 'playing' before, were now being chased like rabbits.

The destination of the Turks was the edge of the Aral Sea.

But don't think that the Aral Sea is full of saline-alkali land, and it is impossible to graze and survive, it is Lao Maozi who has made a bad account. Before the sixties of the twentieth century, the Aral Sea was still very small. In its heyday, the Aral Sea was no smaller than one Ceylon, enough to top two Qiongzhou islands.

In the previous plane, Lao Maozi wantonly built a major water diversion project in the middle of the river. The region's two major rivers, the Syr Darya and Amu Darya, are fed mainly by snowmelt from distant mountain ranges, and the two rivers pass through the Kizilkum Desert and eventually meet at the bottom of the basin to form the Aral Sea. However, after the completion of the diversion irrigation project, the water from the two rivers was diverted to the desert area to irrigate farmland in the barren desert area to grow cotton and other crops. While the river brings life to the desert, the Aral Sea is drying up.

By the eighties, the CPSU produced 20% of the world's cotton annually, 95% of which was produced in the region. 40% of the CPSU's rice, 25% of its vegetables, fruits and vegetables, and 32% of its grapes are also produced in the region. I don't know, I think it's the black soil of Ukraine.

The result of this is what later generations can learn about the Aral Sea from computers and data.

At the beginning, the sea area of nearly 70,000 square kilometers is now only a small pothole.

But in this era, the area around the Aral Sea is a good place with abundant water and plants. Moreover, the Aral Sea is rich in fishery resources, and it is far away from the Russians, so it is definitely a good place to thrive.

It is impossible for China to always let the Turks send 20,000 young men to fight with the main force.

By next year, it would be good if there were 5,000 of the 20,000 people left.

When the horses of these Turghut cavalry can eat dry grass, it will cost nothing? How can it be.

Compared with the thousands of nomadic cavalry, in the eyes of the Chen Han military after the strategic advantage was established, it was not as good as a group of elites whose numbers were greatly reduced, but whose combat effectiveness had risen.

And so many Mongolian tribes are staring at this battle, so it is impossible to only let Part A go out and not let Part B go to the battlefield, right? For many Mongol aristocrats, this was not good news.

Therefore, at the beginning of the spring of next year, at most in May and June, a large number of Turghut men will return to the tribe, and although the Turghut at that time are nomadic in the west of the Aral Sea, they are definitely not without the ability to defend themselves. There is no need for Xiao Yuzi to take care of it again.

If Worbasy had been smarter, he would have taken a back seat himself.

The merits of the Turks are great enough. It's time for others to charge ahead and build up merit.

Wangqin Bambar's eyes blinked vigorously, although the light blue crystal polished windproof goggles on his eyes were indeed effective, and the snow in the sunlight did not feel dazzling when looking through the lenses. But being tied to his head by such a thing, Wangqin Bambal naturally felt uncomfortable.

He bought it from the Grand Lama Paba, where King Zhangjia III was sitting, and it cost him 5,000 yuan, and he didn't think that this windshield was very useful at the time, and the 5,000 yuan should be his filial piety to Hu Tuketu.

As a result, he didn't expect that this winter, this crystal windproof glasses really helped him a lot.

The whole world was snow-white. Not only the grasslands, but also the rivers on the grasslands were all flooded with ice and snow.

It's fine when it's cloudy, but when the sky clears, the snow is bright and dazzling.

It was as if there was a strong light shining on the snow-white fields, shaking people's eyes to tears. Wangqin Bambal has not experienced such a situation for a long time, you know, every winter he does not stay in the tribe, but runs to live in Yinchuan Mansion.

How comfortable it is there. Warm kang head, warm fire wall, warm earth dragon. As long as you don't go out of the house, there is no need to wear thick clothes.

And as a pearl on the Hetao Plain, Yinchuan Mansion is the most prosperous place in the entire Hetao area. No matter how cold the day is, there is delicious food and fun. As long as you have money in your hands, everything is superb.

Wangqin Bambal is only thirty-five years old, and he is not one of those old antiques who guards the tribe and is reluctant to leave. Since he inherited his father's rights safely, Wangqin Bambal has seen a lot of things.

Nanjing really didn't have any unsavory ideas, otherwise he would have stayed in Nanjing to drink tea.

The relaxed Wangqin Bambal is the most trusted person in Nanjing in the entire Mongolian aristocracy. In the usual behavior and life,It's also the most Chinese person.。 He even attended a political training class in Lanzhou for more than a year.

Crossing the Emba, the distance between the ranks and the Guryev fortress was shortened by a further distance.

The wind on the snowfield was getting stronger and stronger, and there were snowflakes that night, and through the firelight, only white diagonal lines formed by the falling snow could be seen in all directions. And the next day they found that in the wilderness, the wind was stubbornly blowing everything in one direction. In the area of several undulating hills, the falling snow is like a wave under the direction of the wind.

"We are now three hundred miles away from the Guriev fortress. The Cossacks kept running in the direction of the Guryev fortress, and their goal was to be there. Wari Khan said to Wangqin Bambar. These 'sensitive' places are well known in the hearts of the Kazakh aristocracy.

When you arrive at the Barn River, not far in front of you is the Gulyav Fortress, which is the border of the area controlled by the Guryev Fortress. The Ural Cossacks patrol here every month, and if there are Kazakh tribesmen grazing here, they will be driven out, even looted and killed. If the Kazakhs who came over could have beaten it.

"Then we'll chase all the way to Guriev." Wangqin Bambal wiped his mouth, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of greed. Now in this situation, a large number of Cossacks and Russian serfs have fled to the Guriev and Orenburg fortresses. He didn't believe in so many people, Guriev could pretend. If there is a large group of people attached to the perimeter of the Guryev fortress, then the soldiers will kill it, even if they can't kill a few Cossacks, they will be able to grab a large number of gains, including those old hairymen.

The inland mines are clearly priced to buy Lao Maozi.

Of course, a beautiful hairy girl is worth more!

……

"Report sir, the Mongol scout cavalry was found 30 versts behind us."

Almost at the same time, Kulakov was sitting on horseback depressed and listening to the report of the reconnaissance results by the Cossack centennial under his command. Since he fled in a hurry after being chased by the combined forces of the Mongols and Kazakhs, the Ural Cossack Adaman has a very bad face.

He had the heart to reflexively strike. But the enemy, although he pursued it closely, was also cautious. What bothers Kulakov even more is that there are really a lot of them. There are at least 30,000, and the actual number may be 35,000 more.

Although the defenses of the Turks will be rotten like a cloud of mud at this moment, who will provoke them at this time?

By Khiva and Bukhara? Give them ten more bear bile, and this group of wrecks will not dare to brush the beards of the Chinese.

These days, the Cossack cavalry rushed back and forth, and in this snowy day, it was also very hard.

In terms of logistics and supply, their enemies are much stronger than them. The migrating Turghut tribe is a mobile supply depot. The Mongols and Kazakhs were able to exchange horses, supply meat, and dairy products, and on the whole, they were not comparable to the summer and autumn, but they were much better than the Cossacks now.

These people have chased the Barn River and have not stopped, are they preparing to chase all the way to Guriev?

Kulakov's face was very unpleasant, because he was well aware of the situation around the current Guriev fortress. Just as Wangchen Bambal thought, there were many Russian peasant serfs around Guriev, as well as quite a few Ural Cossacks.

Platonovich's face was also not good-looking, and it was clear that he also knew what the surroundings of the Guriev Fortress were like now. There are not as many people there as in Orenburg, but there are quite a few.

The 50,000 militia demanded by Marshal Rumyantsev depended to a certain extent on these peasant serfs.

If they were damaged, it would be a traumatic blow to the entire Russian Empire. It is likely that this will force the regular army in the Guriev fortress and the militia in the training and reorganization of the conscription to have to get out of the fortress.

This not only delayed the original plan of the Russian army, but also allowed the Chinese to discover the militia in advance.

"It seems that we need to talk to General Primakov in Gulyav." Although the enemy behind is strong, it must be counterattacked.

The nomadic lands of the Astrakhan Cossacks were also on the Volga, and Astrakhan itself was the mouth of the Volga [Caspian Sea].

Platonovich did not dare to paddle at this time, if the Ural River valley did not stop the vassal cavalry of the Chinese, the next to suffer was the Astrakhan Cossacks.
