Chapter 184 The Affair of Gansu

However, at this time, it is no longer possible to kill chickens and monkeys, and those who retreat are killed. Now that the morale of the army is broken, only by taking the lead in the charge can he once again stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers in his hands.

The sudden rain of arrows blinded everyone, and many of the soldiers who had been holding on near the city gate died unsuspectingly, which made a big gap in the defense line, which was almost unsupportable.

But fortunately, Wen Zhengde, the leader of the garrison of the "Border Post City", led his personal guards to plug the gap in time and successfully boosted morale.

However, the situation between the two sides under the city has been very precarious now, and in general, the garrison of Border Post City is still at a disadvantage.

The commander of the Mongolian steppe army, "Huk Maao", took the lead in attacking the defense line made by the soldiers stationed in the city with their own flesh and blood.

"Assault!" The Mongolian steppe light cavalry, which rushed up like a mad wolf, under the command of Huk Maao, also spread out to both sides like a blooming flower at this moment.

Countless black shadows continued to charge with a strong impact.

"Kill me!" Huk Maao shouted, the sword in his hand turned into pieces of light, he was originally a powerful warrior in the grassland, and he was the best at fighting on the battlefield, and soon three more soldiers fell to the ground.

The roaring horses and rumble completely obscured the battlefield, and countless steppe light cavalry continued to pour in, wielding cold flashing swords in their hands.

The heads of countless soldiers flew into the air mixed with blood.

In a panic, the soldiers who were stationed on the defense line with flesh and blood were trampled into minced meat by nearly half a ton of high-speed war horses.

"Shield Striker Advance!"

"Pikemen stabbed out!"

"The archers in the back suppress me!"

Wen Zhengde, who had already personally gone to the front line, looked at his subordinates who were in a mess on the mountainside, his face was pale and terrible, but he had no choice but to constantly issue orders to change the status quo.

The Mongol steppe cavalry is claimed to be the strongest army in the world, with the sharpest claws, and the cavalry led by Hukmaao is considered the most elite unit even in the entire Mongol Empire.

Seeing the defensive line he had just built up, completely on the verge of collapse under the onslaught of these terrible cavalry.

And his desperate efforts did not play any role.

In comparison, although the garrisons in Border Post City are not poorly equipped, they are all at the level of third-rate armies in terms of morale and killing experience.

Wen Zhengde closed his eyes in pain, and the ten fingers he clenched were blue from too much force.

He saw that the elite escort infantry, who he was most proud of in the past, was now completely the target of the flickering swords of the enemy's cavalry.

Despair is written on the face that is as unruly as the end of the world!

Sporadic attacks and panicked resistance!

Make these infantry look like a herd of fat elks surrounded by hunters in the fall.

Hukmaao took advantage of the gap between slashing and slashing to look around.

The attack of his own cavalry troops was as expected!

On the right line of the right line of defense of the garrison of the "Border Post City", a big hole was torn with a sharp sword.

Now it's not just about fighting near the gates of the city, it's just a little bit away from breaking through the border post city.

"Rush through! Gouge through the enemy! Hukmaao breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't really relax.

Hukmaao was the first to slash through a hesitant foe, struggling to drive the thick horse under his crotch.

With a violent roar, he slammed head-on from outside the enemy's unarmed column.

"Hiss" a few infantry who couldn't dodge, and were knocked out by the war horses under the arrogant crotch of Hook Horse, knocking the companions in front of them to the ground! ”

"Glory to the Mongol Empire!"

Seeing how brave his commander was general, all the steppe light cavalry shouted forward, drove the horses under their crotch, and forced a passage dripping with blood in the infantry legions.

In this frequent collision, the armor of the war horse constantly made a crisp sound of raindrops.

More than 10,000 people were killed on the wall of the "Border Post City" on the city wall of the garrison, and of course the Mongolian steppe cavalry suffered heavy losses, and more than 8,000 steppe light cavalry died under the city wall.

The Jungar Mongolian steppe cavalry, after conquering the "border post city", directly launched a massacre!

The fall and ruin of Gansu Province unfolded with the passage of time, under the ravages of the Mongol cavalry of Jungar, at a very alarming speed......

The Jungar Mongol soldiers took killing people as a play, and for a time "the city was a polder, and the bones were as reckless", and it was difficult to see people within a thousand miles.

The Jungar Mongol army took the lead in attacking Jiayuguan, an important town in Gansu, and broke through Jiayuguan, burning and looting Jiayuguan.

Immediately afterwards, the Jungar Mongol army continued deep into the hinterland of Gansu and reached the city of Longnan in the south.

The Jungar Mongol cavalry was killing in Gansu, so what were the local Qing court garrisons in Gansu doing...

The Qing troops of various departments in Gansu were so frightened that they cowered in the area under their jurisdiction, and did not dare to compete with the invading Mongolian cavalry, and only some of the troops dared to fight, but they were defeated by the Mongolian cavalry, and those who went out of the battle were all wiped out, and several generals who went out to fight were all killed on the battlefield.

From the point of view of the Jungar Mongols, their military operation this time can be described as a full return.

The Dzungar Mongols, known as an army of 100,000, broke through the Qing army's eight-border defense line and drove straight into Gansu Province.

The Mongol cavalry of Jungar ransacked Dongkou and plundered Huairen, Hunyuan, Lingqiu, Mayi, and Shuozhou, and "killed a lot of people."

With thousands of miles of blood, the corpse mountain and blood river are a bit exaggerated, but it also appropriately describes the state of Gansu Province at this time.

Just after the magnates in the capital just reacted, the capital was also ready to send ministers to deal with the military and government of Gansu!

Coincidentally, He Shen felt that the opportunity to meddle in military power had come, and took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Gansu.

In the face of Heshen's request, Heshen's political enemies did not show obvious opposition.

Because of the queen mother's birthday, the investigation of Yangzhou salt merchants, in the officialdom, he became more popular, but it also attracted people's attention.

No, as soon as Heshen was folded, suddenly a courtier was folded and asked Emperor Qianlong to be transferred to Gansu.

"This is, I want to get involved in the household!"

No one is a fool above Chaoyan, and as soon as such an excerpt is on, it suddenly causes a wave in the court.

Most of the officials are happy to see it, only when He Shen leaves the court, they and their people have a chance to stretch out their hands, otherwise few people really have the courage to interfere indiscriminately under He Shen's nose.

What Hubu Shangshu and Shen did at the beginning are still vivid, as long as the brain is still a normal person, no one dares to pay attention to the Hubu treasury.

During this period, it was not without official impeachment, but the next day, they were all retaliated against by He Shen and transferred to a remote place to serve, and finally lost their lives.

With such a naked retaliation, Emperor Qianlong didn't even hum, and the elders in the south study didn't react at all.

There is no way, under the governance of He Shen, it only took a few years for the household department to go from poor to rich, and the great achievements are obvious to all.

He Shen himself is more "regular", and the silver of each yamen has never been less.

Of course, in addition, He Shen has the help of Emperor Qianlong above, and there is a large group of sub-henchmen below, and if there is no conclusive evidence of corruption and perversion of the law, it is no different from looking for death.

Fortunately, He Shen did not mean to implicate others, otherwise the court would have to reshuffle the cards several times, at least there would be a few officials above the third grade, and they would even directly raid the family and exterminate the clan.

“………………”

On the side of the Jungar Mongols.

At noon, under the steaming sun, the air is like the air of a stuffy jar, exuding a scorching smell, and the bright sun in the sky shines on people's faces.

On the wall of Lanzhou City, a Mongolian centurion was wearing hot leather armor baked by the sun, and the sweat on his body was imprinted with wet marks on his back.

"Fuck, the weather in Gansu, why is it so hot..."

Harrisd touched the beads of sweat on his forehead with his hand, and the scorching sun made him very unhappy.

"If it were now, in the Mobei Prairie, how nice it would be, I could personally teach my children to ride horses and archery!"

Harrisd began to miss the days of riding and grazing on horseback in the savannah, the cool breeze that swept across the prairie as far as the eye could see.

The blue sky, the clear lake, the green grassland, the cattle and sheep everywhere, those beautiful things,

At this time, if there is no war, it is the day of the annual Sahara Congress in the Prairie.

Heroes from all over the prairie will show their skills, tribal leaders will hold a meeting for the next year's plan, and cattle and sheep will graze in the green meadows.

Boys, you can chase your beloved girl on the prairie, on the meadow, complete the rite of passage.

The land of the Dzungar kingdom is generally in the northwest of Asia, and is biased towards the Uzbes. Ancient. The south is covered with grasslands, the north and west are mountainous, and the south is the Gobi Desert.

“………………”

Most of the land in the Mongols of Dzungar was grassland, which was the main reason for their nomadic herding and the main reason for their invasion of the agrarian people.

The meals of the Mongolian people in Jungar are mostly meat with some milk tea.

However, the milk tea they drink is not the sweet milk tea that the Central Plains people usually drink, they like salty, and the natural taste of milk tea is salty.

Milk tea is a food that every household makes, and it is carefully boiled with fresh pure milk with tea bricks and salt.

"May the god of the steppe bless" Harrisd, in his heart, secretly prayed.

This is the twenty-first day of the Mongols' invasion of Gansu, and their attack is still as fierce as a wolf pack.

On the capital side, the center of the Qing Dynasty's court was still above the court, discussing who should be sent to Gansu to quell the turmoil...

However, bad news came from Gansu, the governor of Gansu was assassinated, the Gansu soldiers were defeated by a sudden attack by a large number of chaotic troops, and the entire territory of Gansu Province fell.

The Jungar Mongols were about to make a detour to attack Shengjing.

At this moment, the Manchu Dynasty and the opposition shook people's hearts, and Shengjing was one of the Manchu capitals, and it was one of the most important cities in the north of the Manchu Dynasty.
