Chapter 776: Became a turtle in an urn
Ever since Geldan of the Dzungar Department started to make trouble, this thing has been hooking up with the Rakshasas in the north. Although Geldan was destroyed by Kangxi, for the Rakshasas, as long as someone added to the Qing Dynasty, they would welcome it with both hands.
After years of development, he has recovered a lot of strength, and naturally wants to do something. And if you want to do things, relying on the Dzungar Ministry alone seems to be lacking in confidence. At this time, it is naturally a logical thing to hook up with Rakshasa people.
It's no wonder that after the Satuo Department was calculated by the Ten Elder Brothers, Arabutan has not responded, and his feelings are playing a delaying tactic.
"Brother Shi, you are a huge pit!"
After thinking about the cause and effect of the matter, Du Lan can be said to be full of resentment towards the tenth elder brother who led the people to the Dzungar Department.
This bastard obviously planned to wait a few more days, but he didn't know which nerve he had made a mistake, so he actually advanced it a few days earlier.
"Mama Fu, go and call Su Tu and Sun Defu immediately to come over!"
Knowing why these Cossack cavalry came, Duran knew that this was an inevitable battle to the death.
In this battle, either the Cossack cavalry was maimed or completely destroyed, or all their people here died here, otherwise, it would not be possible.
As for waiting for the tenth elder brother to come back to help?
Dulan has no hope at all.
Arabutan would never let the people he sent to see the Tenth Elder Brother.
"Dolma!"
If it is not possible to ask the ten elder brothers for help, then the only people who can provide them with assistance are the Mongolian tribes. And for the Mongol tribes to come to the rescue, a leader is needed.
This leader, Dulan only thinks of his own king of Amar Jingarap.
Well, not only do you have to ask for help from the Mongolian tribes, but you also have to ask for help from the capital.
After the tomb of Emperor Mengyuan was discovered by the Ten Elder Brothers, Dulan was worried that Kangxi would call the two of them back to the capital. But today's thing, as long as they pass this hurdle, the two of them will take root in Kulun Banner.
Soon, two groups of men and horses calling for help rushed out of the camp, a total of 100 horses, all the way to the south.
Although he was asking for help from the south, Dulan felt that the road was not necessarily safe. That's why she sent out a hundred horsemen at once!
As it turned out, Dulan's guess came true once again!
The 100 horsemen who went south to ask for help were intercepted only a few miles away from the camp.
According to Du Lan's orders, after discovering that there were thousands of men and horses intercepted, the hundred horsemen turned around directly and turned back to the camp.
The hundred horsemen rushed south at the risk of death, or they might break through the interception of the two thousand men and horses, but it was certain that even if they rushed through for a while, they would not want to escape in the end.
"Fujin, as you guessed, the way south is blocked!"
At this time, Rett no longer mentioned the idea of leading his troops to meet the enemy, and the other party had as many as 2,000 men and horses who intercepted them for help, and this was only in one direction to the south. In other directions, there will definitely be a varying number of interception forces.
To put it mildly, they are now turtles in an urn.
It's just that, as luck would have it, they now have a city that is not a city to defend.
And the grain and grass are even more sufficient, and it is not a problem to hold on for at least a few months.
"Su Tu, Sun Defu, you immediately gather people, use the materials on the construction site, build the horses, and dig the horse pit!"
"Those built houses, find a way to transform them into fortresses!"
"Let people make more arrows!"
The Cossack cavalry was the most civilized light cavalry in history, but the biggest flaw of the Cossack cavalry was that it was not organized and disciplined, and dismounted foot combat was their weakness.
As long as they lost the favorable conditions for fighting on horseback, the Cossack cavalry, in fact, was not invincible.
Dulan could only prepare with some of the characteristics of the Cossack cavalry that he knew, and only in this way could they have more chances of victory.
Everyone was mobilized, and anyone who could contribute, whether it was a man, a woman, even a few children, was organized.
When the Cossack cavalry appeared in the northwest, everything in the camp was transferred to the construction site, and on the periphery of the construction site, simple horse traps were built, and horse traps were also made out in this very short time.
Without any words, the Cossack cavalry went straight to the attack.
"Bow and arrow ready!"
In the face of the roaring Cossack cavalry, Lev led all 2,000 archers in formation.
There were 5,000 troops in the camp, but to defend the four sides, it was naturally impossible to gather everyone in one direction.
The soldiers were ready to fight, and the people in the construction site were not idle, digging horse traps in the streets planned by the city. With the exception of a few roads that connect the four directions, the rest of the roads are set up to dig pits.
Although there is a city that is not a city to defend, Dulan is not too optimistic. She still set this battle to develop to the level of street fighting, so it is urgent to set up a trap in the city.
Duran stood on the roof of a house where she could clearly see the torrent of Cossack cavalry roaring.
The black cloak made this whistling Cossack cavalry seem to be a torrent of black.
"Shoot ββ!"
When the Cossack cavalry came within range of the archers, Lev gave a loud shout.
With Retto's command, arrows rained down and rose into the air.
Two thousand archers, divided into four teams, each with five hundred arrows, covered the area of the Cossack cavalry's charge.
Arrows rained down, either hitting the Cossack cavalry on horseback, or hitting the war horse of the Cossack cavalry.
For a time, people turned on their backs.
The forward of the Cossack cavalry suddenly ceased to be formed, but the Cossack cavalry in the rear moved quickly, bypassing the arrows in front of them, and still galloped towards the front.
"Shoot againβ"
Four teams of men and horses in four areas.
There was another burst of people on their backs, but the Cossack cavalry suffered significantly fewer casualties.
"Go into the array, defend!"
Seeing that the Cossack cavalry was getting closer, Lylt immediately disbanded the ranks of archers.
Now, it's only melee!
However, when the archers returned to their defensive points, the Cossack cavalry who were charging forward quickly turned their horses' heads and did not charge directly, but circled around their improvised strongholds.
"What's the situation?"
Seeing this scene, Lietu was a little confused, and he couldn't understand what these people wanted to do.
The Cossack cavalry did not attack directly, but divided into two lines and began to circle around the entire construction site. In the midst of this, they were indifferent even when they were shot by arrows from archers.
Such a strange scene, not to mention the hair loss of Lieer, even if Dulan knows something about the Cossack cavalry, he can't understand it.
