Arriving at the Abu River yesterday, Liu Xian got in touch with Yecheng. When I learned that there were thousands of Yarkand people to help, I was overjoyed and puzzled at the same time. Is Yarkand's aura of rebellion so strong? Two years ago, the Yarkand people killed by Agubai and Yunusjiang were rolling in their heads and bleeding, and now as soon as the expeditionary army appeared, the Yarkand people stood on the opposite side of Agubai again?

The tribes and people in the eastern region of Yarkand followed the expeditionary army, and Liu Xian could understand it. After all, the city was attacked by the expeditionary army. But here in Yecheng, it is completely the eye of the storm, and the local people believe in the Manchu Qing so much? If you don't look at which side the momentum is, you just take sides?

If that's the case, Liu Xian only has one sentence: I knew today, why bother in the first place? It's all under-cleaned up.

After converging the two thousand cavalry from Ye Cheng, the strength of Liu Xian's troops has reached three thousand. Although the quality is far from the cavalry battalion, it seems that there are two thousand cavalry from the expeditionary army here, but in fact, there are only six or seven hundred cavalry from the head of the Qin army, and the rest are two brigades of hussar battalion soldiers and one or two hundred Dong army and Abduli cavalry.

In the center of the expeditionary army, Liu Xian was carefully observing the opposite position.

Aguba also had an army of about 10,000 men, most of whom were his descendants of Kokand, that is, Uzbek soldiers, of which there were more than 2,000 cavalry. As a result of retreating all the way west, abandoning all the wounded soldiers and being constantly harassed, the morale of the whole army was naturally low. But there is a saying in the Chinese art of war: do not stop when you return to the master.

Whether this army is still fighting now, Liu Xian does not have a score in his heart.

"Come with me—" After a moment of contemplation, he decided. Lead the whole army around the Agubo army from west to east.

The battlefield is open to the west, and the meaning of interception is too obvious. Then put it to the east!

It's just that his actions not only make his subordinates scratch their heads. Even Agu Bai and Yunusjiang were confused. I don't know what Liu Xian is doing. But subconsciously raised their senses, and Yunusjiang was even more suspicious that Liu Xian had an ambush in the east!

And Forsaiit, who did not know the Chinese art of war. Colonel Sayif, Jack. Major Dural and other officers of the British delegation were even more completely confused.

"Attack—"

The first to attack was Aguba. With a wave of his hand, two thousand infantry were directly dispatched, lined up in four 100x5 phalanxes. Slowly pressed towards the expeditionary army, the Yarkand coalition army.

These Kokand soldiers armed with Enfield M1853 rifles, if compared with the real strength, 2,000 people are enough to crush the same number of cavalry in the traditional style. In the past six months, they have more than once used a sharp weapon in their hands to suppress repeated revolts in various parts of southern Xinjiang.

If it was against the Yarkand cavalry alone, they were full of confidence. Never say never.

It's a pity that today's opponents still have the expeditionary army, the Central Plains army with Western rifles like them. In Guman City, in Sangzhu, they really learned the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary army. Right now. It's time to compete with their cavalry.

Four huge phalanxes, forty or fifty paces apart from each other, formed a line to encompass the front of the expeditionary army, the Yarkand coalition army.

"Wenguang!"

"Shoot all the leading officers to me—"

The 2,000 Kokand soldiers were quite neatly lined up, which shocked the Yarkand people on Liu Xianam's side. Liu Xian could clearly feel some commotion in the array of his army.

The morale of the coalition forces had already been weakened by his sudden change of battle. Now that the attack of the Kokand soldiers has bluffed the Yarkand people again, there is even a commotion in the array, and it is not possible to stop the decline of morale without using a hot hand.

Cavalry. It is a kind of emotional class.

Hu Wenguang replied yes, and gently beat his horse and ran out, and more than a dozen snipers behind him also rushed out of the array together. After running half a mile, a group of people dismounted in unison and picked up the rifles they were carrying behind them.

"Hunters?"

Seeing more than a dozen people dismount and take their guns, exclamations rang out in the British delegation. Although they knew from the course of the war that there were a group of hunters in the Qing army, this was the first time they had seen them with their own eyes.

"The yellow-brown cloak is very similar to the color of the desert and the Gobi!" The head of the delegation, Forsait. Colonel Sayif could see at a glance the usefulness of the cloak on Hu Wenguang and others.

"Bang!"

Crisp gunshots rang out. While the more than 10 British officers of the delegation were still exclaiming, someone among the snipers had already pulled the trigger.

The leading officer of the phalanx on the right side of the center. A gorgeously dressed Kokand man was suddenly moving forward. The head jerked back, and the flying skull was already scattered with splatters of blood and brains.

This man was not the supreme commander of the phalanx. It's just that the officer in the first row of the queue is like a company commander in the British army. But his death also made the pace of the phalanx move forward instantly, especially the first row of the nearest phalanx, the exclamations, fright, and pace were all chaotic.

From the death of this officer, the sniper's show began.

"Bang bang ......" continuous gunfire, one officer after another was killed. The four phalanxes, 2,000 Kokand soldiers, before they could exert their strength, were hunted by more than a dozen snipers.

"Kill—"

Wei Ming raised his sword and jumped on his horse, and a large group of Qin cavalry behind him rushed out.

The speed is fast to the extreme, and the distance of more than a mile flies in the blink of an eye. Before the Uzbek cavalry under Aguba could bypass the huge width of their own army, the five hundred Qin cavalry had already swept through the chaotic Kokand soldiers.

At the cost of the fall of more than 30 people, Liu Xian won the lives of at least 200 Kokand soldiers, and he did not know how many were injured. Anyway, the four attacking phalanxes were completely chaotic.

Under the cover of the Uzbek cavalry, this group of high-spirited Kokand soldiers did not even touch the opponent's large array, so they had to withdraw in disgrace to reorganize the ranks.

There was a wail in the array of the Agubo army.

Forsaiat. Colonel Sayif, Jack. The British delegation headed by Major Dural had a solemn face. The new army of the Aguba army was trained entirely by them, although it didn't take much effort, more just to arrange some queues and then teach them to shoot and shoot. But being defeated by Liu Xian so lightly also made a group of people lose face.

"Despicable practice. Even the drummers and trumpeters played, there was no honor for such an army! One of them said in an airy voice.

Forsaiat. Colonel Sayif was silent. Because he knew that the shouting of his companions was only a self-justification. The current European armies are not what they were during the Napoleonic Wars 60 years ago, and we ourselves have no scruples and taboos on the battlefield, so how can we demand from others this 'law' that is backward by the entire era?

In fact, Forsaith. Colonel Sayif agrees with Liu Xian's approach. The modernization of Aguba's army has only just begun, and his army is only dressed in the skin of a modern army, and it is still the same as the feudal warlords of the past. To deal with such an army, as Liu Xian had just done, he used the chasseurs to knock out their commander, and then the cavalry rushed in.

Liu Xianam's command was the most labor-saving and profitable method on the battlefield.

In the center of the Agubo army, Agubai, who had a bearded face, did not jump like thunder. He was a very clever man, and knew that he should now think more about how to break the enemy army on the other side than to be angry about the war that would not help him at all.

"Ekmu Khantile, let Ekmu take the lead with the natives, let Huihui follow behind, the new army is ready to be ready, and the cavalry is ready to attack at any time-"

Known as the butcher of Central Asia, Aguba never regarded human life as a matter of moments. As long as this war can be won, the natives and huihui in the army can be thrown out to death without mercy.

"Understood, King Khan."

A big man saluted Aguba, and then ran out with more than a dozen cavalrymen. This man was Akmu Khan Tiel, one of Aguba's many major generals, and the leader of the Guards. And Ikemu's status is much lower. But who made him Busuluk's nephew?

Aguba sent Busuluk on a pilgrimage to Mecca, and it was a rare magnanimity to keep Aqmu in the army. Although Ikemu is really capable of fighting.

Aguba's order was passed down by Ekmuhan Tiul. Ekmu respectfully accepted the order. More than 1,000 indigenous soldiers were quickly assembled. (To be continued) R655
