The camp built on the mountainside has been surrounded by the Burha army.

The soldiers of all nationalities who came to take refuge inevitably felt fear, and even panicked.

Bukhara, as the former hegemon of Central Asia, although it has decayed, is still powerful at this time, and many ruled tribes dare not resist.

On the second day of the siege, Governor Mirza came to call for battle.

Liang Zhen observed with a clairvoyant mirror for a moment, and immediately laughed: "It's actually this kind of army, fortunately, we have few soldiers, and the enemy takes the initiative to come to fight, otherwise it will be difficult to chase after you are scared away."

Lei Zhiji was also observing the enemy army, and said with a puzzled expression: "Bukhara has been founded for more than a hundred years, and has he not learned to fight on foot?"

Liu Qin couldn't understand what they were saying, and asked, "Is there a flaw in the enemy army?"

"Hahahaha!"

Liang Zhen and Lei Zhiji looked at each other and smiled.

Lei explained, "The enemy didn't have any real foot soldiers, and they didn't know how to line up the infantry. It's their firecrackers, and to put it bluntly, they are similar to our dragoons."

This is a puzzling thing, the empire that has dominated Central Asia for more than a hundred years will not arrange a large infantry array.

The army of Bukhara, so to speak, was all cavalry.

Even if they were foot soldiers, they usually rode horses - here only the regular army, not the temporarily recruited tribal forces.

At this moment, the enemy foot soldiers came to the outside of the camp, dismounted and began to line up. In the eyes of a layman like Liu Qin, it seems that the formation is quite neat, but in Liang Zhen's eyes, he has to laugh to death.

Some say that the Manchu troops were mounted infantry, and the Bukhara army in front of them. But it was a real dismounted cavalry.

Moreover, they were armed with a large number of muskets, but they did not see them carrying artillery when they attacked the camp.

Lei Zhiji said, "It's a pity that our army is far away and didn't bring chariots. Otherwise, the chariots will be laid down, and the enemy will not be able to penetrate them."

"Not only the chariots, but also the artillery." Liang Zhen said.

I didn't bring any artillery with a slightly larger caliber, and this time I brought all the tiger squat guns, because the tiger squat cannon can be carried by two people.

Seeing that the squadron did not fight, Mirza finally ordered an attack.

However, Mirza did not use the elite, after all, the Datong army was famous, and he first used the Uzbek tribal armament to find out the truth.

The Uzbek soldiers who were sent were all from tribes further west and were loyal to the king of Bukhara. They usually ploughed and half pasted, but at this moment they attacked the camp, and they dismounted and marched forward, with scimitars pinned to their waists, bows and arrows in their hands, and small shields on the arms of individual soldiers.

On the side of the Datong Army, a large battalion of tens of thousands of people, of course, could not be held by only 3,500 Chinese soldiers.

The warriors of the various tribes who came to take refuge, although they did not dare to fight in the field, still had the courage to defend the camp. The two sides fired at each other through the wooden fence, and there were casualties on each other, and the attackers naturally suffered heavier casualties.

Mirza was supposed to be a general, and he asked the tribesmen to take turns attacking the fortress, which seemed to be a very stupid tactic to add fuel to the village, but it was a test of the defensive weakness of the camp.

Moreover, Mirza constantly mobilized troops, trying to involve and mobilize the defenders, so as to find a breakthrough and launch a general attack.

But...... Datong Army has hot air balloons!

Four hot air balloons were raised, not to drop bombs, of course, but to observe the entire battlefield from a high vantage point. ….

The camp of the Datong army was originally built on the mountain, and the terrain was higher than that of the attacking party. Then use the hot air balloon, the battlefield situation can be seen at a glance, and how the enemy will deploy troops can be seen in his eyes.

Mirza, on the other hand, is in a low place, and the camp is sheltered by a wooden fence, so many times you can only guess what is going on inside.

After a whole day, Mirza launched more than a dozen attacks, which were always easily defused by Liang Zhen.

Because of which of Mirza's troops moved, Liang Zhen immediately knew about it, and transferred troops to defend in advance. Not only does it have the advantage of defending the camp, but it also tends to fight more and fight less, and constantly accumulate local victories.

Those tribal soldiers who took refuge in the war, seeing that Liang Zhen was commanding like a god, although there were already dead and wounded, their morale was getting higher and higher.

So far, the Datong Army has not moved, and has always watched the battle as a reserve.

Mirza's core elite didn't move, because it was full of heavy cavalry and musketeers, and he wouldn't let these soldiers die in the battle.

After three days of continuous fighting, nearly 2,000 casualties were lost on the Mirza side, while only more than 300 were killed and wounded on the Datong army's side. They are all their own vassal troops, as long as their morale does not collapse, no matter how many casualties there are, they will not feel distressed.

On the fourth day, Mirza stopped fighting, chose to besiege the camp, and besieged the Datong army alive.

After all, the Datong army came from afar, and it was impossible to bring too much military rations. It is impossible for the tribes who have taken refuge to have too much food and grass, and even if they can loot some along the way, they will be blocked in the camp for a month or two at most.

"The enemy generals are not fools, they have finally begun to besiege us," Lei Zhiji said, "This is the enemy's territory, and the longer the siege, the more troops there will be, and the more soldiers can be recruited. Our military rations are getting scarcer day by day. Moreover, after being surrounded for a long time, the morale of the tribal soldiers who have taken refuge will also drop, and maybe some people will secretly defect to the enemy."

"Then let's fight." Liang Zhen said.

At this time, a force of cavalry came from the southeast, numbering about 2,000 people.

But it was the Mingge Department who pulled the flag and rebelled, and under the leadership of Mehmour, came to help the Datong army fight. They have rebelled, and they are the first to rebel openly, and it is absolutely impossible to be forgiven, so they can only gamble, and perhaps they can survive in death.

"If you dare to come, then let's kill them together!"

Enraged, Mirza sent his elite cavalry to kill the's cavalry.

Seeing this, Mehmor immediately ordered the opening of the boil.

Although there are 2,000 cavalry in the Mingge Division, the equipment can be described as rotten, and there are not many people wearing leather armor. Such a beggar-like light cavalry is suitable for kite flying, and if you can't win anyway, you will run.

"Fight out of the village!" Liang Zhen made a decision immediately.

Seeing that there was an unusual movement in the Datong army, Mirza immediately ordered the elite cavalry to be recalled, leaving only 3,000 light cavalry, and continued to chase those cavalry.

Both sides were tens of thousands of troops, and there were a lot of nomadic cavalry, and the entire battlefield spread for nearly ten miles.

To be honest, I can't command.

Especially Liang Zhen, the tribal leader who took refuge in him, couldn't understand the flag order of the Datong Army at all, nor could he understand the military number of the Datong Army. After being scattered, he can only rely on his ability to fight, and Liang Zhen doesn't want to be like a finger to those armies.

This great war, from the beginning of the war, was particularly chaotic.

The tribal cavalry fought against the tribal cavalry, and they all wanted to preserve their strength. As far as the eye could see, they were all riding and shooting arrows at each other, and as the cavalry roamed, the battlefield became larger and larger, and the horizontal line was already more than ten miles—Mirza could not command it. ….

It seems that there are lively fights everywhere, but there has been no short-handed combat.

It is to shoot arrows back and forth all the time, and whichever tribe is slightly at a disadvantage, they immediately run to the edge of the battlefield, for fear that their tribe will lose too much.

In the end, it was completely mixed up and turned into a big melee between the tribes.

The main generals of both sides ignored this, and all locked each other's elite main forces.

When the tribal army in the central battlefield dwindled, Mirza finally began to dispatch the elite. Two thousand horsemen, musket infantry, and five thousand lightly armored archers, rushed towards the 3,500 Datong army.

In front of the formation of the Datong army, there are stakes of rejecting horses, which are built by craftsmen from outside the city of Andijan.

Mirza's order was to bring the musketeers to the firing range, and all of them dismounted and fired at the Datong army, and the five thousand archers also shot arrows at the Datong army. After shooting out the formation of the Datong army, the heavy cavalry was sent out to destroy the Datong army.

"Tiger Squat Cannon!"

More than 20 tiger squatting cannons were carried behind the horse rejection pile.

Due to the long journey, Liang Zhen did not bring shells at all, all the gravel was obtained from the camp mountain.

A large amount of rubble was poured into the barrel, and the effective range of such perfunctory ammunition was less than 100 meters. If the enemy is wearing cotton and iron composite armor, he will not be able to penetrate it for eighty or ninety meters, but he will only feel a lot of pain.

But that's enough, far beyond the range of muskets and horse bows.

About sixty or seventy meters, the musketeers on the opposite side dismounted one after another. The archers continued to rush forward, and they were circling to the sides, intending to face the Datong army from the left and right

Shoot.

"Boom, boom!"

More than twenty tiger cannons were fired, and rubble flew out of the sky, smashing into the musketeers who had just dismounted.

There were three or four hundred musketeers on the spot, and the Xili Lake Tu was hit by stone bullets.

If you are hit in the head, neck and other vital parts, you will fall down on the spot. There are also some who have been hit, but the stones may be relatively small, and the lightly injured people only feel pain, and the seriously injured people have been broken by the gravel.

At this time, you can see the morale, the morale of the Bukhara army, it is really not very high.

The artillery of the Datong Army was still reloading, and the Bukhara musketeers did not take the opportunity to rush forward, but collectively mounted their horses and began to retreat. Even in those places where there was no shelling, the musketeers were retreating, and it seemed that they did not intend to fight with the squadron.

If you can't get all the military salaries, what the hell are you fighting?

The archers who circled the two flanks, and before they could reach the range of the horse's bow, the musketeers of the Datong army began to fire a volley.

There was a burst of gunfire, and the archers also retreated, leaving only a hundred corpses.

Annoyed by the cowardice of the soldiers, Mirza did not punish him on the spot, but ordered the transfer of two detachments of cavalry. He didn't want his elite to fight bloodily, and planned to let the tribal cavalry be cannon fodder, and while the Datong army was loading ammunition, he ordered the elite to take the opportunity to rush and kill.

"Cavalry attack!"

Liang Zhen suddenly dispatched cavalry and sent out only 500 cavalry.

Not to kill the Bukhara elite, but to aid the tribesmen further afield.

Seeing that the Datong cavalry had carefully passed the rejection and was running towards the battlefield to the left, Mirza was a little puzzled.

But he didn't bother to think about it, in Mirza's opinion, the big trouble was those Datong troops, and the Chinese generals were in the infantry formation. As long as he solves the squadron and kills the Chinese general, no matter how many rebel tribes are left, he can easily destroy them. ….

Lu Zhaoyun, the commander of the cavalry battalion, led 500 Datong Xiao cavalry, and immediately accelerated after passing the horse rejection stake belt.

The other side has already been beaten into a pot of porridge, shooting in a mess and non-stop, and if the other party is not shot until the rout escapes, no tribe is willing to engage in short-handed combat.

Lu Zhaoyun didn't care about this, he spotted an enemy army, and immediately rushed over without his life. During the charge, more than a dozen Datong cavalry were shot off their horses by the enemy's bows and arrows, and more cavalry were lost with arrows stuck in their armor.

In the blink of an eye, Datong Xiaoqi rushed in, and the Uzbek tribe immediately fled.

The nearby Tajik tribal cavalry, seeing this, suddenly had high morale and followed the Datong cavalry to chase and kill.

Dozens of enemy horsemen were hacked to death along the way, and the pursued tribe turned to flee. Lu Zhaoyun advanced in a straight line and rushed towards another group of enemies, and after the enemy army fled, the nearby Gilligis cavalry also followed.

After a while, there were more and more tribal cavalry following behind Datong Xiao's cavalry.

The scattered tribal cavalry actually still wanted to fight, after all, they had rebelled, and if they lost the war, they would definitely be settled by the governor Qiuhou. But they lack a backbone, and if they don't have a backbone, they have to preserve their strength.

On the other hand, the tribal cavalry under the command of the governor Mirza, they are usually exploited by the king, and they are willing to fight with the governor, which is already the last loyalty to the king, and it is absolutely impossible to shed blood for the king to the end.

Five hundred Datong horsemen, under the leadership of Lu Zhaoyun, continued to break the enemy army along the way, and tribesmen continued to join.

In the end, only more than 400 of the 500 horsemen remained, and nearly 100 Chinese soldiers were buried here. But the tribal cavalry behind them has gathered tens of thousands, with the Datong cavalry as the arrow, and no one dares to stop them along the way.

The main reason is the previous big melee, so that the tribes that followed the Mirza to fight were all scattered, and they couldn't get together for a while.

Mahmur also led the cavalry and ran back to the battlefield in a circle, and when he saw this, he could not help but admire: "What a brave warrior!"

The Bukhara light horsemen, who were pursuing Mehmur, changed their faces drastically one by one, and they were so frightened that they immediately fled to Mirza's side.

The tribal cavalry behind Lu Zhaoyun gathered more and more, and finally rushed towards Mirza's main formation. More than 20,000 cavalry were killed overwhelmingly, and the heavy cavalry around Mirza was terrified.

As for

Most of the tribal cavalry that followed Mirza had fled.

"Put on the bayonet, the infantry attack!"

Liang Zhen personally led the infantry, inserted bayonets, crossed the rejected horses, and lined up neatly towards the enemy army.

"Run away, Lord Governor, we've already lost!"
