Although he had signed the word "war" on the war book of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, Hongqing did not really intend to act at the pace of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and after smiling at the gift sent by the Dzungar Army, he did not launch an attack at dawn, but only moved his own camp forward for another five miles, and set up a camp five miles away from the main camp of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and ignored the provocation of the cavalry troops sent by the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and rested peacefully for a day.

On April 17, the third year of Chengde, the sun had just poked out of the horizon, and a tight horn suddenly sounded in the originally silent Qing army camp.

"Woo, woo, woo......"

The Qing army made such a big move, and the lookout post on Geden Mountain immediately discovered that something was wrong, and they didn't dare to ignore it, and the horns sounded one after another everywhere, and in an instant, the entire camp of the Three Kingdoms Alliance was suddenly in chaos.

"Great Khan, the Qing army has been dispatched, our Three Kingdoms Alliance Army should not show weakness, it is time to go into battle to teach the Qing people a lesson, and please give the Great Khan an order."

Although Grand Duke Gagarin is the governor of Siberia in Russia, the nominal commander of the Russian military, but he is actually just a politician, although he is not a layman in the military, but only half of the level, because of this, Grand Duke Gagarin did not intend to personally go into battle to command the battle, but handed over the command to his deputy, Lieutenant General Tolsky, the commander of the First Army, but he led a group of retinues to hurriedly go up to Mount Geden, which saw that Alabutan led dozens of generals to observe the movements of the Qing army in front of the mountain, Immediately smiled and leaned over, and proposed a sentence lightly.

"Hmmm......"

Arabutan has never liked the Russians, and he has no good impression of the treacherous and greedy old man of Grand Duke Gagarin, if he has a choice, he would rather belong to the Qing Dynasty than form an ally with the Russians, but the grudge between the Dzungar Khanate and the Qing Dynasty is too deep, and it is difficult for them to coexist peacefully, because of this, in order to keep the Khanate from being destroyed, even if he knows that he is drinking to quench his thirst, he has to choose to temporarily attach himself to the Russians, even so, He also didn't want to bow his head in front of Grand Duke Gagarin, and when he heard Grand Duke Gagarin's seemingly polite, but actually commanding words, although Arabutan's face was still calm, his brows were already slightly wrinkled, but he couldn't do it, so he could only say something noncommittal.

"Great Khan, rest assured, the army of my Great Russian Empire is ready, and it will definitely be able to give the Qing people a head-on blow!"

With more than 100,000 soldiers in hand, and basically a division of a hundred battles equipped with new weapons, Gagarin was very ambitious, and he would not care about the indifference of Alabutan, and after a haha, he confidently made a guarantee.

"Yes, yes, with Grand Duke Gagarin's army here, we should wait for this battle."

The Kazakh Khanate is the weakest, in previous years, it was not less invaded by Russia and the Dzungar Khanate, and the troops who came this time were also small, and the total number of horses was only 35,000 steps, which was not very useful at all, and even had no capital to defend one side alone, and the camp could only be aggrieved and squeezed together with the Dzungar Khanate. But whether it was Arabutan or Grand Duke Gagarin, they didn't even look at it.

"Your Excellency Grand Duke Gagarin, the first victory or defeat is related to the morale of the army, and there must be no loss, so please ask Your Excellency's troops to go to battle?"

Although he was extremely disgusted with Grand Duke Gagarin, at the moment when such a great enemy was present, he did not dare to be emotional, and made a request with a deep groan.

"Naturally, the Great Khan only needs to hold the left flank and not give the Qing army an opportunity to take advantage of, as for the frontal battlefield, it will be handed over to the strong army of my Great Russian Empire."

Grand Duke Gagarin is a slippery politician, and he will not fail to see through such a suggestion that the Russian army should fight with the Qing army so that it can profit from it, but Grand Duke Gagarin did not take it to heart, nothing else, just because Grand Duke Gagarin has absolute confidence in the more than 100,000 battles under his command, and he has long thought about competing with the Qing army for a long time, in order to repay the "humiliation" suffered when he sent the Qing army to the Qing Dynasty, and he will not care about the dark and careful thinking of Alabutan. patted his chest and accepted it with a mouthful.

"Okay, then it's decided, if this battle is won, my Dzungar Khanate will be attached to the whole country, and there will never be two hearts."

As soon as he heard Grand Duke Gagarin's words, a glint flashed in the eyes of Arabutan, and his face, which had always been flat, burst into a smile, and he swore a curse.

"Don't worry, the army of my Great Russian Empire will never let the Great Khan down!"

In the eyes of Grand Duke Gagarin, as long as the Qing army on the opposite side is defeated, the extremely weak Dzungar Khanate is just fish and meat on the chopping block, and it can't make a big wave at all.

"Hahaha......, okay, come here, give orders, the three armies are arrayed, ready to meet the enemy!"

Arabutan seemed to be really moved by the words of Grand Duke Gagarin, and he looked up and laughed loudly, and at the end, he waved his hand vigorously and drank it with pride.

"Woo, woo, woo......"

As soon as Alabutan gave the order, a row of trumpeters standing on the top of the mountain immediately sounded the order to attack, and then saw the Dzungar army on the left flank, and the Russian army on the right flank marched out of the camp gate in unison, and began a tense formation on the flat ground in front of Mount Geden.

"The whole army stops and lines up on the spot!"

Just when the Three Kingdoms Coalition began to deploy the formation, the Qing army finally came to a place only two miles away from Gedeng Mountain, this time seeing the Three Kingdoms Coalition Army out of the formation, Hongqing did not drive the troops forward again, but just stranded the soldiers and horses at a mile and a half from the cordon of the Triple Alliance, and after an order, the armies immediately followed the pre-war deployment and began to arrange tense formations.

Whether it is the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army or the Qing Army, this time they have done enough pre-war preparations, and the troops are naturally very profitable, only less than half an hour, the formations of both sides have been deployed and stopped, hundreds of thousands of troops are far away, the battlefield is silent and silent, and a decisive battle to decide who the overlord of the Far East is about to be in full swing.

On the side of the Triple Alliance, the 135,000 Junggar Army and the army of the Kazakh Khanate were lined up on the left flank, with the infantry clustered in front and the cavalry behind, and they pressed the position with nearly 200 old-style artillery, posing a strict defensive posture, while the Russian army, although there were only more than 105,000 people, occupied the middle and right flanks, of which the First Army of the Siberian Frontier was deployed in the center, the Second Army and the Third Army were arranged on the right flank, and between the two Russian armies was a large number of Cossack cavalry, As for the most elite First Guards Army, it was placed as a reserve in the direction of the rear of the center, at the front of the battle line, more than 200 artillery pieces of various types were lined up, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed obliquely at the Qing army array.

On the side of the Qing army, the 125,000 army was also lined up, and the first and second divisions of the third army on the right flank formed six phalanxes with brigades as units, with one regiment of artillery divisions, corresponding to the army of the Dzungar Khanate, which was strictly defended, and was commanded by Cheng Guiwu; In the middle of the road, three divisions of the First Army, one and a half brigades of artillery, and two brigades of the First Cavalry Division formed a front formation, with Yue Zhongqi as the commander-in-chief; In the rear, Hongqing commanded the 3rd Division of the 2nd Army, the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division and most of the 2nd Cavalry Division as reserves, and only two divisions of the 2nd Army plus a brigade of the Artillery Division were arranged on the left flank, which was dispatched by Zhang Miao; As for the 3rd Division of the 3rd Army and a regiment of the 2nd Cavalry Division, they were the baggage transfer troops, responsible for ensuring the appeasement from the large battalion to their own front, and this part of the work was under the responsibility of Tashan.

"Order: The right flank immediately attacked, tell Huachaivsky, go all out, and be sure to break the Qing army front in one fell swoop!"

Halfway up Mount Gedon, Lieutenant General Tolsky led a large group of staff officers to build a temporary command center, but after observing the Qing army's position with a monocular for a while, he waved his hand expressionlessly and issued the first battle order in a cold voice.

"Yes!"

As soon as Tolsky gave the order, one of his own heralds hurriedly answered the promise, and hurried down the hillside to the right flank.

"Order: The 1st Division and the 1st Division of the 3rd Army will attack, the 2nd Division will follow, and the 3rd Division and the 2nd Division of the 3rd Army will be in reserve and start attacking!"

Huachaivsky, the commander of the Second Siberian Frontier Army of Russia, is fifty-two years old, has participated in the war between Russia and Sweden, Turkey and other countries, but unfortunately he is only a small nobleman, there is no way to be promoted, he has been the commander of the Second Siberian Frontier Army for nearly ten years, but he has never been promoted again, and he is in urgent need of a huge military achievement for promotion, so even if the relationship with Tolsky in the past is actually extremely tense, he has never questioned Tolsky's orders at this time. After quietly listening to the words of the herald, he waved his hand and gave the order to attack without saying a word.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

As soon as Huachaivsky's military order was issued, the drums of war immediately sounded, and rows of Russian officers and soldiers began to advance with the beat of the drums, thus kicking off the battle......
