When the last 20,000 Cossack cavalry also entered the battlefield, the outcome of this large-scale cavalry battle became confusing again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The blocking force led by Han Baofeng could not intercept so many Cossack cavalry, so they had no choice but to withdraw to the main battlefield.

At this time, the ratio of forces between the two sides was: more than 43,000 Cossack cavalry, less than 30,000 Mongolian cavalry, and the loss of Mongolian cavalry was even more serious.

Fortunately, most of the war horses of the Cossack cavalry were not capable of breaking out again, and the Mongol cavalry became more and more brave the more they fought, so it is really hard to say which is stronger or weaker.

.............

As time passed, the Mongol cavalry began to show signs of fatigue.

Mainly archers, due to the long time of shooting arrows, their arms have long been numb, and they can only rely on instinct, mechanically bend the bow, tie the arrow, shoot, as for aiming.......... At this point in the battle, few people were able to concentrate on aiming, and most of them shot arrows by feeling.

The disadvantage of the Cossack cavalry was that it was impossible to engage in long-distance engagement, and in order to eliminate this passive situation, many soldiers directly stabbed their sabers into the buttocks of the war horses, in order to stimulate the potential of the war horses and obtain an amazing dash speed in a short time.

It was used to close the distance with the Mongol cavalry for hand-to-hand combat.

Of course, the consequences of this are dangerous, the horses are stimulated and easily go berserk, not only attacking the enemy camp, but sometimes disrupting their own charging formation.

As a cavalryman, the war horse can be said to be his most loyal comrade-in-arms, however, the Cossacks began to sacrifice their war horse, choosing the most dangerous way of fighting, it must be said that they could do anything for the sake of victory.

To be able to force the Cossack cavalry to this point, even if the Mongol cavalry is defeated this time, it is enough to be proud.

So far, both sides have exhausted all means, and the final result of victory or defeat may depend on who can't hold on first.

Unfortunately, there are too many factors that determine the course of the war.

On the main battlefield, Batur Huntaiji and the Cossack cavalry fought on a par, but the surrounding subsidiary battlefields were one-sided.

Because Batur Huntaiji's personal guard was held back by the Cossack cavalry, the tribal generals who had only recently joined the tribe began to hesitate..........

The Cossack cavalry carried out massacres, but the Manchus kept winning over people's hearts.

The ferocious deterrence of the Cossacks in the front, the Huairou pacification of the Manchus in the back, and the personal guards of Batur Huntaiji, suffered too heavy losses in the early stage of the war, and finally led to some tribal generals who were good at falling on both sides and completely fell to the Russian-Manchurian coalition army.

The apostasy before the battle is fatal to the strength of any army.

The Russian-Manchurian alliance army was already tens of thousands more than Batur Huntaiji's tribal alliance army, and now there are tribes against the water, even if Batur Huntaiji achieves the final victory on the main battlefield, the defeat of the Junggar tribal alliance is inevitable.

"Great Khan, we lost this battle, let's retreat quickly, and keep some fire for our Mongolian tribes." Strategist Han Baofeng said to Batur Huntaiji.

In order to intercept the Cossack cavalry before, Han Baofeng, as a strategist, took the initiative to lead the army to rush to the front line, and he was hit by several knives but did not retreat.

His words, Batur Huntaiji had to think carefully.

"However, the other party can't hold on for long, this is a rare opportunity!" Batur Huntaiji was a little hesitant.

Having lost so many subordinates, Batur Huntaiji didn't want to take revenge, that was fake.

"Great Khan! Don't hesitate any longer, there are not many arrows in the quiver of the soldiers, and they can't completely destroy this army. And it won't be long before the other side's reinforcements arrive, and it will be too late if you don't leave! Han Baofeng said loudly.

Don't look at the Mongol cavalry, they do have a certain initiative at the moment, but their real killer weapon is only bows and arrows.

And now the number of arrows of the big guys is not much, and the Cossack cavalry still has more than 35,000 people.

Bending the bow and arrows for a long time has already made the arms of the Mongol cavalry numb, but the Cossack cavalry is still very strong in addition to the physical strength of the war horses.

Once the Mongol cavalry is approached by the other side, it is basically only the share of slaughter.

Until now, Han Baofeng has also seen the resilience of the Cossacks, an army that will never retreat even if it fights to the death.

Unless Batur Huntaiji can lead the army to completely annihilate it, there is no attempt to force the other side to submit through a large casualty ratio.

However, the opposing reinforcements were about to arrive, and the Mongol cavalry had no chance or ability to completely annihilate this army..........

"But where can we retreat? If you lose this battle, you really can't go back! Batur Huntaiji said indignantly.

Previously, in order to consume the Cossack cavalry, Batur Huntaiji was filled with more than 20,000 people.

This defeat, if the next time he encounters the Cossack cavalry, he really doesn't know what to fill in.

"Let's break through to the south and go to the territory of Daming, our current strength is no longer able to threaten Daming, I believe that the other party should take us in." Han Baofeng said.

"Break out to the south?" Batur Huntaiji was thoughtful.

"That's right, if we retreat into the Dzungar region, with the character of the other party, in order to lead us to a decisive battle, we will surely massacre our people again. And breaking through in the direction of Daming, there will not be much resistance in the entire territory of Junggar, and the other party will naturally understand that we have abandoned this area, so there is no need to continue to carry out massacres. Han Baofeng analyzed.

"Hey! This can only be done, the order will go down, and all parts will scatter to the south to break through, and we will finally gather near Suzhou Wei in the Ming Dynasty. Batur Huntaiji finally gave the order.

The whole army broke through separately, whether it was the Batur Huntaiji Guards on the main battlefield or the coalition armies in other battlefields, as long as the troops of the Russian-Manchurian coalition army had not surrendered, they all broke through in the direction of the Ming Dynasty.

The battle has been fought so far, counting the troops who died in battle and surrendered, and now there are only more than 40,000 troops left under the Junggar Alliance, which is equivalent to directly consuming two-thirds of the strength of Batur Huntaiji.

The general trend is the general trend, Batur Huntaiji actually expected this outcome long before the war, after all, even if he really defeated the Russian-Manchurian coalition army this time, there are still nearly 200,000 enemies in the entire Mongolian region.

In the entire Tsarist Russian Empire, there are still no less than a million troops, and unless Batur Huntaiji can unify the entire Mongolian steppe, he is only in a dying throes.

Defeat, as early as Batur Hunteiji expected, the only regret may be that he failed to compete with the Cossack cavalry of Tsarist Russia.

――

Suzhou Wei Nai is a guard post in the northwest border of the Ming Dynasty (very close to Jiuquan City in later generations), and it is also the westernmost part of the actual control area of the Ming Dynasty National Defense Force.

In recent decades, the Ming Dynasty has focused on suppressing peasant uprisings at home, and then has fought against the Manchus in the northeast, and has long been unable to control the Xinjiang region, and even the Chijin Mongol and Hami Guards have been occupied by local ethnic minorities.

Suzhou Wei was taken back from the local minority tribes when Batur Huntaiji tried to plunder the northwest region of the Ming Dynasty and Li Dingguo sent heavy troops to expel him.

Now that the Russian-Manchurian coalition army has invaded Mongolia, there is a vague intention to get involved in the Ming Dynasty, so Li Hongfei took the opportunity to persuade the Congress to set a heavy army under the Suzhou Weibu.

Once the Ming decided to intervene in Mongolia, this was the base for the Ming army's advance.

Moreover, Li Hongfei laid out here, not only to go north to attack Russia and Manchuria, but also to the west to Ping Turpan, Xinjiang and Tibet, Li Hongfei also intends to take advantage of the situation to be included in the Ming Dynasty.

The Mongolian region has been made into a miasma by the Russian-Manchurian coalition army, and the only thing the Ming Dynasty has to do is to make a large army go on a northern expedition and recover these places by force.

However, Xinjiang and Tibet are a bit special, they are vast and sparsely populated, and they are plateau areas with a treacherous environment, which basically have little economic value for the Central Plains.

Fortunately, because of the vast land and sparsely populated area, the Ming Dynasty did not need to fight by force, as long as heavy troops were deployed on the border to deter, and then spies were sent into these two places to encourage the local aristocratic forces to take the initiative to be included in the Ming territory.

Xinjiang and Tibet are now slave areas, and the Ming only need to control the nobles of these two places, so that they will nominally become the two autonomous regions of the Ming Dynasty, as for the actual control.......... The Central Plains region of the Ming Dynasty can't be managed now, how can there be that idle time to manage these places?

Xinjiang and Tibet, including Mongolia and Siberia, are all gifts that Li Hongfei left to future generations of Chinese people.

Only later generations will understand the importance of land, and even if they waged a war and conquered a large amount of territory, they could not gain international recognition, and in the end they could only obediently return it to the other party.

If we don't take advantage of the "legitimacy" of the current land occupation to gain a little more territory for the Chinese nation, it will really be in vain for God to let them cross...........

The cavalry battle in the Kobdo area was introduced to Beijing in just four days, which shows how generous the Ming Dynasty has invested in the National Security Bureau in the past two years.

The cultivation of military carrier pigeons alone has invested five million Huaxia dragon coins, and between the border guards, whenever there is an emergency, they are insured with carrier pigeons and 800 miles of expedited insurance, and the speed of information transmission is far faster than before.

Moreover, some confidential information, whether it is a carrier pigeon or an eight-hundred-mile expedited, is encrypted in order to ensure that it is not leaked.

The so-called "encryption" means that Li Hongfei used the inspiration of later generations of radio stations to change the content of the information to Arabic numerals, and only the intelligence personnel of the National Security Bureau who have a codebook in their hands can write and interpret the contents.

Even if someone shoots a carrier pigeon, or intercepts a messenger halfway, they will not get any useful information.

To get back to the point, when Li Hongfei got the news of the battle, he urgently summoned Defense Minister Li Dingguo.

"How's the troop move? The Russian-Manchurian coalition has already wiped out most of the armed forces in Mongolia, and we may cross the border at any time and declare war on Tsarist Russia. Li Hongfei got straight to the point.

The Mongols died and fled, and now only the Russian-Manchurian army and the Mongol tribes that have attached to them are still in the Mongolian steppe.

Next, either the Russian-Manchurian coalition invaded the Ming Dynasty, or the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to attack and enter Mongolia.

"Don't worry, thanks to the intelligence system of the Second National Security Department, as early as a year ago, we learned of the plan of the Russian-Manchurian coalition army, and this year, our national defense forces used various covers to the Suzhou Guard, Liangzhou Guard and Ningxia Guard in the northwest, using various covers, quietly increased the number of troops by 100,000. Today, these three guards have a total of 200,000 field troops and 50,000 defenders, ready to launch an attack on the Mongolian region at any time. Li Dingguo replied.

With today's traffic conditions, it really takes a little time to mobilize a large number of troops to a region, especially to avoid the eyes of the enemy country and quietly increase the number of troops.

This is also a major reason why the Ming Dynasty was known as a million-strong army, but Li Zicheng easily captured Beijing.

At that time, Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, and it only took two months before and after, and the army of King Qin in various places had no time to rescue.

"I'm not talking about the army, in a year, you can't even mobilize 100,000 troops, so don't do it, the Minister of Defense. I mean, how are all kinds of military supplies and equipment. Li Hongfei said.

Today, even ordinary people know that the firearms units of the Ming army are extremely dependent on logistics.

Therefore, in the original Northern Expedition, many ordinary people in various places took the initiative to ask for help to transport ammunition and materials to the Ming army, not so much to blast the Manchus out of the customs with cannonballs, but to be driven out by the people of the Ming Dynasty with wheelbarrows.

However, for the sake of secrecy, the Ministry of Defense did not even alarm the people with the transfer of troops, and the transfer of materials could only be solved by the military itself.

If the supplies needed by the more than 200,000 troops could not reach the front line in time, it would be a joke to enter Mongolia to fight against the Russian-Manchurian coalition army.

"It is indeed difficult in terms of materials, but fortunately, Batur Huntaiji planned to invade the northwest region of our Ming Dynasty from Jiayuguan. For this reason, when the Ministry of National Defense was increasing troops in the northwest region, it had hoarded enough military supplies for 150,000 troops to fight continuously for half a year. In addition, in the past six months, under the pretext of relieving refugees who fled from Mongolia into the territory of our Ming Dynasty, while mobilizing food and materials, we have also mobilized weapons and ammunition on a large scale. If 200,000 national defense troops enter Mongolia, it should not be a problem to conquer the entire Mongolian region with the material reserves of Suzhou, Liangzhou, and Ningxia. Li Dingguo analyzed.

Most of the Russian-Manchurian coalition troops are cavalry, and it took more than ten months to conquer the entire Mongolian region, and the Ming army is basically infantry, and Mongolia does not have many fixed towns, even if it is a success, it is estimated that it will take a year and a half to two years to occupy the entire Mongolia.

Therefore, the military supplies prepared by Li Dingguo were prepared according to the combat volume of two years.

As for the future march into Siberia, once a full-scale war breaks out and the domestic transport forces are mobilized, are you afraid that you will not be able to deliver enough supplies for two years?
