Ming Zuo

Chapter 1225

When Batur Huntaiji wiped out Eqiertu Khan, he sent the first batch of messengers to Liangyue.

At that time, the Qing army had just completed its looting in Daming territory, and Hauge led his army on the way to Hetao.

On the one hand, under the strong military pressure of the Qing army, on the other hand, he received the guarantee from Batur Huntaiji, Liang Yue immediately set off to march into Qinghai.

When Batur Hun Taiji was about to cross the Tarim Basin, he sent a second group of messengers to Liang Yue.

Because according to the calculation of the distance, when this group of messengers detoured to the Liang Yue army through the Hexi Corridor, he should lead his troops to the west of Qinghai Lake.

Of course, all of this is ideal.

Thousands of miles away, the terrain is complicated, and no one knows what accidents will happen.

However, when Liang Yue received the secret letter of Batur's Huntaiji operation, he still decisively counterattacked.

Liang Yue didn't believe too much in Batur Huntaiji's promise, but had his own considerations.

After five days of fighting, he already had a clear understanding of the strength of the Qinghai coalition forces.

He is very sure that the Qinghai coalition army is definitely not his opponent.

Even if the number of the Han and Mongolian coalition forces is only more than [-].

The powerful firearm in his hand is a powerful guarantee for defeating Gush Khan.

Of course, Gushi Khan can be defeated, but if Batur Huntaiji and Gamadan are not in place, Gushi Khan can still run away calmly.

But from Liang Yue's point of view, there is not much difference between eliminating Gushi Khan and defeating Gushi Khan.

As long as Gushi Khan is defeated, all the territory near Qinghai Lake will fall into his hands.

And this area is the most essence of Qinghai.

If Gushi Khan lost this place, he could only linger in the middle of the continuous mountains and deserts.

It was precisely because of these considerations that Liang Yue launched an attack even though he was not sure whether Batur Huntaiji was in place.

Thirty thousand troops came out in full force.

Duoyun Shanhai led the Mongolian cavalry to cruise around the periphery to protect safety.

The White Lotus Sect infantry led by Zhao Si held long spears and walked on both sides in a strict square formation.The two can be combined into one at any time to protect the friendly troops behind from the wind and rain.

Jiang Chaoyun personally commanded the Musketeer infantry to walk in the middle of all the formations, and pressed firmly towards the camp of the Qinghai coalition army.

Behind the infantry, the artillerymen of the Hamong Allied Forces desperately pushed the artillery and followed closely.

In this battle, artillery will play a role in deciding the outcome.

In the camp of the Qinghai Allied Forces, Gushi Khan and the others hadn't reached a conclusion yet, and they were all dumbfounded when they heard that the enemy on the opposite side had actually attacked.

Liang Yue would not give them a chance to think properly.

Seeing that the artillery was within range, he immediately gave the order to fire.

The lightweight bronze cannon easily followed infantry.

The gunner opened the two racks, and with only a few blows of the hammer, it was fixed.Then fill the gunpowder, fill the shells, and aim at the camp of the Qinghai Allied Forces to ignite.

The sound of the artillery was rumbling, and the shells rained like rain, and they accurately smashed into the camp of the Qinghai coalition army.

No matter what the powerful shell hits, it will destroy everything.

The walls of the village built of wood only need one shell to break a hole about five or six meters wide.

The Mongolian tents cannot reduce the kinetic energy of the shells.

When the shells smashed into the tent, they would be gourds of flesh and blood when they touched people, and they would collapse and shatter when they touched things.

All of a sudden, the Qinghai Allied Forces were in complete chaos.

Because the chiefs were in a meeting, the ministries were out of command.Under the bombardment of the artillery, they could only scurry blindly, hoping to find a place to hide.

However, how could the simple camps in the flat open space be able to block the shells?
Among the smoke and dust soaring into the sky, many places were beaten to pieces, completely losing their protective effect.

It is not that there are no smart people among the Qinghai coalition forces.

Immediately, someone organized a troop, rushed out of the camp in a hurry, and rushed towards the Han and Mongolian coalition forces.

Even if it is blocked for a moment, and the army is rectified, it still has the power to fight.

Seeing these desperate cavalrymen, Liang Yue stopped Duoyun Shanhai's idea of ​​going to war, and handed it over to Jiang Chaoyun to solve it.

Facing the cavalry for the first time, the musketeers of the Han and Mongolian coalition forces were somewhat nervous.

Fortunately, it was supported by artillery.

Not bronze guns, but the artillery of Tsarist Russia.

Although this kind of artillery is also small in size and light in weight, its erection and firing are far inferior to bronze cannons.

Therefore, when the bronze cannons bombarded the camp of the Qinghai Allied Army, the artillery that had just been set up was ordered to shoot at the cavalry rushing.

The artillery was replaced with grape shells, and the firepower was tilted forward.

Countless small stones, the size of duck eggs, formed a large black shadow in midair, completely covering the cavalrymen rushing in.

Regardless of whether these cavalry wear armor or not, it is impossible to stop the baptism of grape bullets.

A large area of ​​thousands of cavalry disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the remaining ones immediately lost their power to charge.

The musketeers finally felt relieved, and under the command of Jiang Chaoyun, they wiped out all the cavalry after several rounds of volleys.

During this period of time, the Qinghai coalition forces in the camp finally reached a consensus.

In view of the heavy artillery bombardment of the Han and Mongolian coalition forces, it was impossible to reorganize the formation.

Then there is only one choice...

run!
Gushi Khan didn't care about other things, and hastily rectified his soldiers and horses, running faster than anyone else.

Various other tribes followed, thinking only of survival.As for whether the things left behind are valuable or not, I can't care anymore.

Since the Qinghai Allied Forces did not resist, Liang Yue's march was of course extremely smooth.

The Han and Mongolian allied forces rushed into the camp, and all they could see were the wounded soldiers left behind and treasures scattered everywhere.

"There are cloudy mountains and seas, and some soldiers and horses are left to clean up the battlefield. The rest of the people are not allowed to stay, and immediately pursue them."

Seeing that all the soldiers and horses had faint intentions to snatch the spoils, Liang Yue became tough and gave the order to pursue them.

With [-] people defeating an opponent of [-], Liang Yue's prestige reached a new height.

Although many people are reluctant to part with the wealth scattered on the ground, they dare not go against their orders to pick it up.

The Han and Mongolian allied forces crossed the camp, and followed the escape route of the Qinghai allied army to bite on it.

What surprised Liang Yue was that Gushi Khan's escape route was not to return to the west of Qinghai Lake, but to go all the way south, towards Dasima Wanhu Mansion.

This made him a little confused.

"Brother, Tang and Fan Ancient Road."

It was Jiang Chaoyun's words that awakened the dreamer and made him understand what was going on.

There has been a road connecting the plateau and the Central Plains for thousands of years.This road has a very high status in the minds of the plateau people and the people of the Central Plains.

That is the Tang-Bo ancient road that was built when Princess Wencheng got married.

Since Gushi Khan knew that Batuer Huntaiji had come from the west of Qinghai Lake, of course he would not go there to throw himself into the trap.

He set his target on the weakest Karma Danjun.

As long as he defeats Gama Danjun, he can flee back to his own territory to reorganize, and there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory.
