"Report, the general, the second general, the Qinggou can't come out of the camp, General Chihe has repeatedly gone out, and the Qinggou is unmoved, because the general has an order first, General Chihe doesn't dare to cross the Wudaogou, and the villain is specially ordered to come and ask for instructions."

In the study of the city guard of Zhenyuan City, the big and small strategists sat opposite each other, and there was a map on the middle of the copy, and the brothers were all frowning, and they were thinking about themselves, but they saw a newspaper horse hurriedly turning out from behind the screen, and a few big strides rushed to the front, and one kneeled to the ground, and hurriedly said a word.

"Hmph, it's no war again, what the hell is the guy surnamed Yue doing, this can't advance, can't retreat, is it playing with Lao Tzu!"

Even if he was angry, he slapped the copywriter and scolded angrily, no wonder Xiao Ce Delirium Dun Dobu was annoyed, Yue Zhongqi led his troops to Wudaogou for six days, but he never crossed the river, even if the Dzungar army sent the lure enemy troops to provoke several times, it was also stunned that the Qing army could not provoke the Qing army to cross the river to fight, and the brothers' strategy of gathering and annihilating the Qing army under the city of Zhenyuan had no room to play, and the troops in ambush everywhere were all blind.

"Go, pass on the general's order, let General Chihe withdraw first."

Da Cedun Dobu's temperament is relatively stable, although his heart is crooked enough, but he has not had a seizure, but he just frowned slightly and gave orders.

"Yes!"

Hearing that there was an order from the great strategy, the newspaper horse did not dare to delay a little, and hurriedly answered, and hurriedly withdrew from the study, and did not mention the order before going to the army.

"Second brother, you can't wait any longer, the main force of Qinggou has taken Shule, the forward is approaching Kucha, according to its military situation, Kuqa can't hold it for a few days, if the main force of Qinggou takes Korla again, it can threaten the rear road of our army at any time, and now the plan is to either rush up and destroy Yue Zhongqi's department first, or our army will simply withdraw, if there is more delay, the consequences may be unimaginable."

Although Xiao Ce is more anxious, but he is not a brainless person, a few words have pointed out the embarrassment of the Junggar army at the moment, there is no other, the military strength of southern Xinjiang has now been transferred to Zhenyuan City by the brothers, and the rest of the places are simply no different from no defense, under the strong offensive of the main force of the Qing army, none of the nearly 20 cities can hold for three days, often as soon as the Qing army arrives, the city is broken, although the main force of the Qing army is a big bend, but for most of the month, southern Xinjiang has fallen into the absolute control of the Qing armyAccording to the progress of the main force of the Qing army, there will be a maximum of 20 days to attack the Turpan Basin, and by that time, the Dzungar army gathered here will really have no way out.

"Well...... then fight well, there is a strategy for the brother, if it is ......, when the enemy can be broken in Wudaogou, what does the seventh brother want?"

Although Da Ce Du Dun Duobu was suspicious that Yue Zhongqi would not advance, he was afraid that there would be something strange, but in the end, he was unwilling to let go of this great opportunity to break the Qing army all the way first, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally made up his mind.

"Well, without further ado, we will start a war tomorrow, destroy this group of Qinggou in one fell swoop, and withdraw to Mobei after the fight!"

Xiao Ce Delusion Dun Dobu thought about it, and he already had a final calculation in his heart, so he slapped the copy, loudly expressed his attitude, and his words were murderous......

Chengde two years of August three o'clock in the first day, the rising sun has risen to three poles high, but not very bright, shining on people, but there is a warmth, no side, Wudaogou area near the water, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, noon is extremely hot, but the night is cold enough, just as the folk proverb says - hold the stove to eat watermelon, only when the sun has just risen, it is the most comfortable time of the day, a group of Qing soldiers all take advantage of such a good time to go out of the tent to have a good life and leisure, The camp was full of laughter and noise, and only the sentinels standing on the high lookout platform were still meticulously sticking to their posts.

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

The persistence of the sentinels will eventually be rewarded, no, the smoke and dust stirred up by the Junggar cavalry brigade have just been raised from the horizon, the Qing army sentries have immediately discovered that something is wrong, they dare not delay a little, and have sounded the most urgent horn sound, in an instant, the Qing officers and soldiers who were laughing at themselves immediately rushed into the tent, quickly equipped, and then rushed to the open space in the camp in the slogan of their respective commanders.

"Report, Commander Yuyue, the thief army is pouring out, and the troops are divided into three routes, and they are rushing towards our camp, which is less than seven miles away."

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yue Zhongqi, Li Mingliang and He Min, the three main generals, were nervously doing pre-war deduction and deployment in front of a large sand table, but they saw a newspaper horse hurrying in from outside the tent.

"What is the distribution of forces?"

Hearing the sound, Yue Zhongqi immediately raised his head from the sand table, looked at the panting newspaper horse with a calm face, and asked indifferently.

"The words of the division commander of Huiyue, there are more than 40,000 thieves on the left road, all on horseback, more than 300 camels, about 70 artillery pieces of various kinds, look at the flag, and the leading general will be Chihe Maha; There were more than 45,000 thieves on the right side, all of whom were also riding, and more than 200 camels, nearly 80 artillery pieces of various types, and the leading general was Battle; The enemy chieftain and the small commander Tun Dobu were all in the Chinese army, about 70,000 soldiers and horses, and nearly 100 artillery pieces of various kinds, all dragged by camels, and they were moving very fast! ”

Yue Zhongqi asked, but the newspaper horse didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly explained the news in detail.

"Probe!"

After listening to the report of the horse, Yue Zhongqi did not comment, just waved his hand quietly and simply commanded.

"Wow!"

Yue Zhongqi had already given the order, and the newspaper horse did not dare to delay a little, so he hurriedly responded, and hurriedly withdrew from the Chinese army's tent, and went to the front of the sentry without mentioning it.

"Heh, it's such a big formation, it looks like it's a big and small strategy, and I'm ready to eat our army in one go, and I don't have a small appetite."

Facing a menacing five-fold enemy, ordinary people were only afraid that they would have been blind for a long time, but Li Mingliang didn't care at all, but when he saw the corner of his mouth, he snorted with extreme disdain.

"Hey, that's going to have to be the two of them."

He Min smiled, and also teased lightly.

"Let's get started."

Yue Zhongqi didn't pay attention to the singing and harmony of the two deputies, and after staring at the sand table with a slight frown, he straightened his waist, stood up, clapped his hands, and ordered indifferently.

"Wow!"

Li and the two of them laughed and laughed, but as soon as Yue Zhongqi gave the order, they didn't dare to ignore it, and after each of them answered the promise loudly, they immediately went out of the Chinese army's big tent, and immediately, the horn in the barracks sounded like a formation, and the Qing officers and soldiers who had already lined up in the open space in the camp began to march out of the camp in turn, but did not go far, but set up a formation dozens of meters outside the camp - in front of it were five regiments led by Li Mingming, with the regiment as a unit, five phalanxes, with two heavy guns and light infantry guns, One battalion of anti-Japanese artillery held the position; On the left flank were the 2nd Brigade of Xiao Zhenshan's Division and the 2nd Division of the 2nd Army, plus the 1st Cavalry Brigade of Ke Luntai's Division, and two companies of light infantry artillery and battle defense artillery to hold the position; On the right flank, the 3rd Brigade of Chang Shan Cheng's division and the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Army cooperated, with two companies of light infantry artillery and two companies of battle defense artillery to hold the position, and the rest of the troops stayed in the battalion as a reserve.

The Qing army set up an iron barrel array, and its troops on three sides were almost connected, leaving only a few passages for the cavalry to attack, but they all blocked the possibility of the Dzungar cavalry breaking through with more than a dozen machine guns.

"The general order: The Chinese army will stop, line up on the spot, and the two wings will immediately cross the river on a pontoon bridge!"

The Dzungar three-way army is riding, the speed of the march is extremely fast, just along the camp around the Qing army to arrange the defense line not long after, the big strategy of the city has led the middle route army to the Wudaogou first, this saw that the Qing army on the other side of the river has been lined up in formation, but did not dare to directly launch a strong attack, but more than 100 meters away from the Wudaogou waved his hand to stop the rushing army, solemnly looked at the Qing army array for a while, then solemnly gave a series of orders.

Wudaogou is just a small river, neither wide nor very deep, people and horses can wade across, but heavy weapons such as cannons and ballistas want to cross the river, but it is not a simple matter - although the Junggar army has hundreds of artillery, most of them are old-style artillery, and the firing range is only about two hundred paces, as for the more than 60 newer artillery provided by the Russians, the firing range is less than 400 steps, and the Qing army array is far away from the river, even if the artillery is placed along the river, it will not be able to attack the Qing army's position, If you want to play a role, you can only drag it across the river, fortunately, the Dzungar army has been prepared for this, but seeing that the Dzungar army on the left and right flanks rushed out of hundreds of cavalry, roaring and rushing across the five ditches, dozens of piles were laid on the other side of the river, the cable was tied, and then the soldiers behind laid the planks, more than a dozen simple pontoon bridges were already built, first a large group of cavalry rushed to the shore along the pontoon bridge, quickly lined up the defensive formation, and then a camel dragged all kinds of artillery and began to cross the river, The whole journey was extremely fast and orderly, and it was obvious that a detail had been planned in advance......
