The 909th round: Siege and killing

The Tushetu Khan tribe is all the descendants of Nuo Nuohe.

As mentioned earlier, Nono and had five sons, three of whom were adults.

The eldest son, Abadai, was the grandfather of Gunbu and was called Abadai Khan.

The second son, Abuhe, was the grandfather of Sonomu, and was called Morgen Noyan.

The third son, Tu Mengken, was called Saiyin Noyan, and was based in Uriya Sutai.

There was the second goal of Yang Chengying's expedition.

Because of his rejection of the Red Religion and his belief in the Yellow Religion, Tumengken was awarded the title of Saiyin Noyan by the *** Lama.

Saiyin, which means "good" in Mongolian.

Thumunken's second son, Lama Tenzin, also received the title of "Nomenhan".

This title is second only to "Hutuketu".

In other words, the Tenzin Lama is actually independent of the Tushetu Khan department, and only nominally respects the Tushetu Khan Gunbu.

After three days of rest, Yang Chengying led his army to continue westward.

Passing through the Tula, Kaluka, Taler, and other rivers, the march was 1,400 miles and took half a month.

On the 10th of November, they arrived at Otgaon, a stronghold located in the upper reaches of the Zabkhan River.

Along the way, relying on the gunbu, Yang Chengying and the army got a lot of cattle and sheep.

But when they arrived at Otgaon, just over a hundred miles from Uriya Sutai, they were greeted by the enemy's swords and guns.

"Are you sure they want to do something to us?"

Yang Chengying asked, then walked out of the big tent, picked up the telescope and looked northwest.

According to intelligence, enemy cavalry came from the northwest.

Bai Guangen reported: "Your Highness, after hearing the warning shot from our reconnaissance cavalry, the enemy cavalry continued to choose to pursue, and it was menacing."

Otgan was one hundred and thirty miles southeast of Uriya Sutai, but there was a mountain in between, so the cavalry could only attack from the northwest.

But Yang Chengying did not believe that they only from the northwest, maybe there was an enemy from the southwest.

"Give the order, and the divisions are ready to fight!" Yang Chengying decisively ordered, "Each part is arrayed in four directions, east, west, north and south, with Meng Qiaofang in the center."

There was a division of labor long before the expedition, with Wu Sangui's department in the front, the Azig department in the west, Huang Degong's department in the east, Shen Zhixiang's department in the south, and Meng Qiaofang's department in the middle.

The five armies immediately took materials on the spot, and the auxiliaries shoveled up the snow with snow shovels and piled them up into walls of ice.

Remove the wooden stakes from the car, weave a fence with string, and tie it to the last line of defense.

The auxiliaries, who were not involved in the construction of the fortifications, had their rifles in their hands, checked the ammunition, and were ready to meet the enemy.

The artillerymen pushed the artillery to the high ground, built improvised fortifications, and then checked the condition of the artillery.

The cavalry was feeding the horses, followed by eating, accumulating sufficient physical strength to prepare for the pursuit after defeating the enemy.

"Your Highness, what happened?"

Gunbu hadn't figured out the situation yet, "Is there a misunderstanding? How can Lama Tenzin have a large cavalry!"

"There is no Lama Tenzin, but there are Zasaktu Khan and Oirat Mongol."

Yang Chengying guessed: "The enemy is mixed in with the herdsmen who deliver the goods, probe our whereabouts in detail, and then find a suitable place to surround us."

Otgan is 1,400 miles from Kulen and more than 1,100 miles from Hami.

That's called a real can't go to the village and can't go to the store.

"Damn! Subadi, Lama Tenzin, Gushi Khan! They want to kill me!"

Gonbu's right fist hit his left palm, and there was a "snap" sound, and the indignation was overflowing.

He was an ally of Zasaktu Khan and Chechen Khan.

Subadi, the Zasaktu Khan, was still nominally the leader of the Transkhalkha Mongols.

"That's to be expected." Yang Chengying was very calm, "However, their actions also saved me a lot of things."

As soon as the words fell, Meng Qiaofang, Huo Weihua and Liu Zhilun arrived.

They brought maps with them and spread them out on a table with several matza patchwork.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Sangui, Azig, Huang Degong and Shen

Zhixiang arrived.

Meng Qiaofang pointed to the map with his baton and introduced: "The cavalry received the news that the enemy's infantry and cavalry were about 50,000 together, and it was preliminarily judged that the Oirat Mongols and Zasaktu Khan had poured out. The minister intends to rely on the terrain and attack by defending."

"This meets my requirements." Yang Cheng should make a quick decision, "All soldiers are not allowed to cross the ice wall without an order."

"All the command is handed over to Meng Qiaofang, the logistics is Liu Zhilun, and Huo Weihua is responsible for the collection, transmission and analysis of intelligence." Yang Chengying further clarified the full responsibility of the command.

"Yes!" The generals spoke in unison.

"I'm not a person who loves to kill, and I won't start a war lightly until I have to. Once the war starts, one will be wiped off the map."

"Harmless to humans and animals, harmless to humans and animals, and the benefits of being frightening have a frightening effect. An expedition is not easy, and you have to be careful with your calculations."

Yang Chengying's words were not *** tactful, in fact, he told his subordinates to let go of the fight and fight to the death.

The generals nodded.

At this time, the black flag of the makeshift watchtower waved, indicating that the enemy cavalry was approaching.

"All to all, see you after the war." Yang Cheng should order.

The generals clasped their fists at each other and left.

With the sound of drums, the infantry walked behind the fence, their guns in hand, and divided into two columns.

There were also substitute infantry in the back.

The artilleryman observed the number of the sentry posts and began to adjust the angle of fire of the cannon. Look at the book

"Ready...... Let's go!"

The artilleryman pulls the gun rope and fires the black powder from the breech, and the shell erupts.

Cut a perfect arc through the air and smash the Mongol cavalry behind your own scouts.

The Mongol cavalry was still desperately chasing, but they could not catch up.

And the distance is getting farther and farther away.

The scout cavalry arrived in front of the ice wall, dismounted, and led the horse over the ice wall.

At the same time, the Type 09 rifle fired at the same time.

Bang bang bang...... Bang bang bang ......!

High-density Mingne bullets hit the people and horses on the opposite side, round after round.

After each shot, the soldier quickly took out a roll of ammunition from his bag, bit off the kraft paper, and poured gunpowder into the barrel.

Then put the Mine bullet into the barrel, stab it into the bottom with a slender copper stick, attach the fire cap, and fire a shot forward.

There are many steps, but a soldier can shoot five or six mingnes in a minute with a rifle.

It is also divided into two rows.

If there is a person who runs out of ammunition, immediately retreat to the back and replenish the ammunition.

The Mongol cavalry was soon overwhelmed by the net of rifle and artillery.

On the dirt mountain, Yang Chengying held binoculars and observed the battlefield.

It was a sight that shocked him.

Traditional cavalry is so powerless in the face of superior firepower.

Due to limited training, the war horse could not withstand a long gallop, and there was no armor on its body.

Mongolian men who can ride horses are also unable to dodge the dense fire net.

Wave after wave was sent to death, falling outside the ice wall.

The blood melted the ice, staining it red.

As far as the telescope could see, someone had already turned around and ran, and was slashed by the nobleman behind him.

However, the rout was already in place.

Many of the slaves threw away their weapons and fled like crazy.

"Command, cavalry attack!"

Yang Chengying's voice was very small, but it seemed to spread throughout the entire military camp.
