In order to improve the accuracy of shelling, each artillery battalion of the Imperial Army was specially equipped with artillery observation balloons. The observation balloon can rise to hundreds of meters in the air, search for targets with telescopes, and then use it to pass to the artillery below to guide the artillery to carry out an accurate attack. This made the accuracy of the Imperial artillery once again rise to a new level.

Three battalions of 105-mm artillery of the Imperial Army opened fire, and hundreds of cannons covered the artillery of the Kokand Khanate. Several rounds of shelling down will turn the artillery positions of the Kokand Khanate into a sea of fire. Not only was the artillery destroyed a lot, but the artillery was even more lost. The cannons that the Kokand Khanate bought from Russia at great expense were destroyed almost without even any use.

"Damn!" Aguba's face was gloomy, as if he could drip water. The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Chinese Army seemed to have exceeded his expectations. In this battle, it was hardly easy for the Kokand Khanate to win.

Then, the scene that frightened Aguba happened again. The 50,000 cavalry of the Kokand Khanate, which was attacking the positions of the Chinese army, managed to break through the artillery blockade of the imperial army and rushed to a place less than a thousand meters from the defense line of the imperial army. The heavy machine guns, which had already been prepared, opened fire at this moment.

"Dada! Dada! "Dense bullets erupted from the muzzles of heavy machine guns, like tongues of fire.

Hundreds of heavy machine guns were enough to form an impenetrable storm of bullets, enveloping the cavalry of the Kokand Khanate.

Large swaths of the cavalry were shot and fell to the ground. The mournful screams of the horses and the screams of the cavalry before they died. It makes the whole battlefield like hell. This can no longer be described as a battle, it is clearly a massacre.

"O Allah! Is that a weapon of the devil? Aguba's eyes widened. I can't seem to believe what is happening in front of my eyes. Seeing that the cavalry of the Kokand Khanate was about to rush to the front of the imperial army's defense, they were resisted. The powerful firepower of the Imperial Army seemed to form an impassable moat, and no matter how hard the cavalry of the Kokand Khanate tried, they could not break through, leaving only cold corpses on the ground. The generals of the Kokand Khanate, who were watching the battle in the rear, were also pale one by one.

"The Chinese are simply devils. We're fighting the devil! A middle-aged general said with a pale face.

The charge of the cavalry of the 50,000 Kokand Khanate was routed without even touching the side of the Imperial Army. More than 20,000 people were killed and wounded, and the rest were frightened. They all turned and fled. The cavalry of the Kokand Khanate were not cowards, and in order to defend their country, they joined the army without hesitation. But. After going to the battlefield, they learned about the strength of the Chinese* army. After all, they can't fight the devil, and that's no longer something that can be achieved by manpower. This directly caused the morale of the army of the Kokand Khanate to plummet.

"My lord, what shall we do now? The firepower of those Chinese is too strong. No matter how many troops we charge, we won't be able to break through their defenses! Ali reported to Aguba with a dejected expression.

Agubai's face was pale, and he didn't know what to do when he got to this point. The Grand Mullah Alimukul demanded that he must find a way to defeat the powerful enemy. Otherwise, the Kokand Khanate would be finished. The current Kokand Khanate. There is no turning back.

"We, there is no way back. The Chinese are strong. But Allah will bless us. Let the departments prepare, and after half an hour, the whole army will surprise and try to defeat those Chinese in one fell swoop! Aguba decided to take a gamble. The firepower of the Chinese* army is very strong, and if you want to break through the defense line of the Chinese* army, you can only rely on the superiority of troops. There is no other way. Aguba believed that as long as they were able to break through the defense line of the Chinese* army and engage in hand-to-hand combat, the Chinese* army would not be a match for the warriors of the Kokand Khanate.

"Yes, sir!" The generals of the Kokand Khanate had no choice but to do as they were told.

"Commander, it seems that those people of the Kokand Khanate have not given up yet! Do they want to continue their attacks? A staff officer said to Lieutenant General Zhao Mingfu.

"There is no other way for the Kokand Khanate, and if they can't defeat us, they will be dead. Therefore, they have no other choice. It's just that they would focus on us, which is a mistake at all. Lieutenant General Zhao Mingfu's face was full of sneers. In the face of the offensive of the 2nd Army of the Imperial Army, the Kokand Khanate was simply at a disadvantage. If they defend against dangerous places, and then send out cavalry to attack the logistics supply lines of the Imperial army, and fight guerrilla warfare with the Empire, they may pose a threat to the Imperial army. But now, those idiots of the Kokand Khanate have chosen to fight Armageddon, which is simply looking for death.

Half an hour later, the army of more than 100,000 troops of the Kokand Khanate launched an attack on the Imperial Army on a ten-kilometer defensive line. The charge of more than 100,000 cavalry was like a rainbow, like a storm on the sea sweeping towards the shore.

"Fire!" The commander of the front, facing the charge of the cavalry of the Kokand Khanate, did not change his face and opened fire according to the established tactics.

Artillery and infantry are paired to fire in turn according to the distance of the enemy, attacking the enemy with powerful firepower and inflicting maximum damage on the enemy.

I have to admit that the cavalry of the Kokand Khanate were very heroic, and their attacks were very fast. However, the defense line of the Imperial Army was like a rock on the seashore, which could not be shaken by the impact of the wind and waves, but caused the wind and waves to crash into the rocks.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "The rifles in the hands of the soldiers of the 5th Infantry Corps of the Imperial Army also opened fire. The cavalry of the Kokand Khanate had already rushed to a distance of only two hundred meters from the Imperial Army's defensive line.

The rifles in the hands of the infantrymen hardly need to be aimed, they only need to shoot at crowded places, and after the bullets are fired, they will definitely hit the target.

The battle was so fierce that the cavalry of the Kokand Khanate pinned their hopes on breaking through the defenses of the Imperial Army and then launching a melee attack. However, the powerful firepower of the Imperial Army made the army of the Kokand Khanate slam its head and bleed. No matter how hard they tried, they didn't seem to be able to break through the defense line of the Imperial Army, but in front of the defense line of the Imperial Army, a large number of corpses were left.

Under the onslaught of the army of the Kokand Khanate, regardless of casualties, the front-line troops of the Imperial Army were also under great pressure. Many of the soldiers were completely numb, and they just numbly pulled the trigger and fired the bullet.

"Commander, the people of the Kokand Khanate are crazy, they attack regardless of casualties, and there is a lot of pressure on the front. Several times they were almost broken by the cavalry of the Kokand Khanate! A brigadier general brigade commander of the 5th Infantry Corps of the Imperial Army reported to Major General Cho Mingfu. Although Major General Cho Myung-fu was promoted to commander of the 2nd Army of the Imperial Army, he was also the commander of the 5th Infantry Corps.

"Someone, give orders to the 3rd Cavalry Corps and the 4th Cavalry Corps. It's time for them to strike! Lieutenant General Zhao Mingfu's face already showed a smile of victory. At this point, the Imperial Army was already victorious.

"Yes, General!" The herald immediately went to deliver the order.

On the two flanks of the Imperial Army, the 3rd Cavalry Corps and the 4th Cavalry Corps of the Imperial Army, have been preparing for a long time. The attack of the Kokand Khanate was very fierce, but they could only watch from the side, which made the soldiers of the two cavalry armies very anxious.

Fortunately, Lieutenant General Zhao Mingfu's order finally came down. The commanders of the two cavalry corps unanimously gave the order to attack.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the 3rd and 4th Cavalry Corps of the Imperial Army launched an attack on the troops of the Kokand Khanate from the flanks. More than 70,000 imperial cavalry entered the battlefield, which immediately made the situation on the battlefield take a sharp turn.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "Unlike the cavalry of the Kokand Khanate, which was armed only with sabers, the Imperial cavalry was armed with rifles. After approaching the cavalry of the Kokand Khanate, the imperial cavalry immediately opened fire on their carbines, firing all the bullets in the magazine as quickly as possible.

The cavalry of the Kokand Khanate, which had been raided, fell in large numbers and were beaten in a daze.

"Kill!" The Imperial cavalry inserted their carbines into their holsters and drew their sabers. Under the light of the sun, Rulin's saber shone with an icy cold light.

The Imperial cavalry flanked the army of the Kokand Khanate* from the flank. The armies of both sides launched a bloody collision. The war horse runs at high speed, with a strong impact force, and the war horses on both sides collide together, often turning over on their backs. Once you fall off the horse, there will only be one result, and that is to be trampled into meat sauce by the high-speed running war horse.

After the two cavalry corps of the Imperial Army entered from the flanks, the two frontier cavalry brigades of the 2nd Army of the Imperial Army also launched a counterattack from the front. By this time, the army of the Kokand Khanate had already paid a heavy price in front of the lines of the Imperial Army. The sudden attack by the Imperial cavalry caused them to be in disarray, and they were unable to organize an effective counterattack.

"Damn! Those despicable Chinese! "Seeing the defeat of the Kokand Khanate's army, the commander-in-chief of the Kokand Khanate, Aguba, was furious. However, he could not change the tide of the war, which was moving in an extremely unfavorable direction for the Kokand Khanate.

Fierce fighting, which continued into the afternoon. As casualties mounted, the army of the Kokand Khanate began to rout. The Imperial Army pursued the battle, and the decisive battle lasted only one day. The Northern Route Army, the 2nd Army of the Imperial Army, won the victory! (To be continued......)
