lied to Kangxi

Chapter 562
Yu Zhu could see very clearly that it was only the forward troops of the Junggars that were defeated.

Junggar's main formation is still very complete.

Many noobs who don't understand military affairs always think that the Mongol cavalry charge is all out.

In fact, it's ridiculous!
Unless it is a last resort, the Mongols are definitely not willing to use cavalry to attack the enemy's infantry formation.

Moreover, even if the Mongol cavalry were dispatched, it would be impossible to dispatch them all, but to attack in waves.

A wave of charge, no more than 2000 people.

Because of the different speeds of war horses, the Mongols' favorite cavalry tactic is the attack of the front arrow formation.

The advantage of doing this is that the impact is extremely strong!
The Junggars fled back, Yuzhu not only did not order the new army to pursue, but instead ordered the soldiers of the new army to turn back collectively.

For one reason, Yuzhu intends to continue bombarding the Junggar formation with artillery.

Once upon a time, Yuzhu never held more than fifty cannons.

This time, the old emperor gave him more than 400 artillery pieces at one time.

If Yuzhu didn't give full play to the salvo power of the artillery group, then he is the number one fool in the sky.

When the soldiers of the new army returned to the back of the Huoqi Battalion, Kashi, the leader of the Huoqi Battalion, immediately ordered, "Fire the guns."

"boom……"

"boom……"

The sound of rumbling artillery resounded through the sky, and more than 100 fiery iron bullets smashed viciously into the phalanx of the Junggars.

In Yuzhu's binoculars, you can see that in Junggar's main force, people are on their backs, ghosts are crying and wolves are howling.

"Uh..." An iron bullet shattered the camel's head, and then hit the knight's chest with the remaining momentum. The knight only had time to scream halfway before he fell to the camel and was completely dead.

An iron bullet hit the ground, turned a strange arc, bounced high again, and hit a shield.

"Boom..." The shield immediately shattered into pieces, and the head of the person behind the shield was cut off, and the headless corpse fell miserably into a pool of blood.

Just when the Junggar people were in a hurry, "Boom..." The second wave of cannons came out and attacked the Junggar people again.

Before the Junggar people could react, the third wave of shell rain came again.

Good guy, hundreds of fiery iron bullets raged in the Junggar line almost at the same time, who can bear this?
"Run away..."

"The Tartar's cannons are powerful, hurry up..."

"Escaped..."

After the morale of the Junggar people was shaken, the fear seemed to be contagious, and everyone turned around and ran away.

"Don't run, stop for me." Tseng Wang Alabatan was so anxious that he didn't have time to think, he drew his knife in his hand, and hacked to death two deserters who passed by him in succession. .

However, the defeat has already been accomplished, and killing a few people is completely useless.

"Father Khan, hurry up, the golden dog's cavalry is moving." Galdan Celing saw that the situation was not good, he quickly grabbed Cewang Allah Butan's right hand, and reminded him loudly that if he didn't run away, it might be too late.

Cewang Allah Butan, who unified the entire Junggar tribe with his real ability, must have had a few brushes.

The situation is gone, and there is no way to return to the sky.

With this realization, Cewang Allah Butan simply abandoned his tribe, turned around and ran away.

Yuzhu had already seen clearly that the main force of the Junggars had become a mess.

Without hesitation, he gave the order to let the eight thousand Mongolian skirmishers attack across the board.

To be honest, these Mongolian scattered cavalry can only fight with the wind, but they cannot be used to gnaw hard bones.

After all, it is the old tradition of the Mongols to fight if you can beat it, and slip away if you can't beat it.

After eight thousand Mongolian cavalry rushed out, Yuzhu said flatly, "Cigar."

Niu Tai, who had been holding the Baihong knife in his hand, quickly took out the cigar in the saddle and handed it to Yuzhu.

With a cigar in his mouth, Yu Zhu lit the cigarette with the torch Wu Jiang handed him, and took a deep breath.

"Huh..." Yuzhu puffed out several smoke rings comfortably, hey, the days when there are cigarettes are really happy.

The fly in the ointment is that the flame of the torch is too strong, which blackens a large area of ​​the cigar, which greatly affects the aesthetics.

Tayong, deputy commander of the Eight Banners, was very itchy, so he leaned in front of Yuzhu's horse and said with a smile, "Commander, the Junggars have already been defeated, why don't the whole army pursue them?"

Yu Zhu took a sip of his cigar, handed the binoculars to Fei Taiyong, and said with a smile: "Look at it, if you see the trick, turn around, I will let you lead the army to pursue it, how about it?"

Tayong couldn't help cheering up, the opposite was Tsewang Allah Butan, the Great Khan of Junggar, among the defeated army, how could there be few beauties and gold and silver treasures?

While Yuzhu was enjoying the cigar and drinking tea, Tayon really saw the trick after observing carefully.

"Back to Commander, there shouldn't be only tens of thousands of Junggar people, right?" Tayon said strangely, "Based on the understanding of the lowly position, Junggar claims to have 50 armored people. The people in front of us are only four at best. , 5 people."

Yuzhu showed an admiring smile and praised: "You are right, our army has at least 8000 people, and they came with hundreds of artillery pieces. The Junggar people must dispatch at least twice as many troops to have the opportunity to fight." There is a [-]% chance of winning. However, there are only so few Junggar people here, and I can predict that there must be fraud among them."

Tayong is also an old frontier soldier, and he has fought a lot of battles.

When he rolled his eyes, he immediately realized something, and then whispered: "Commander, if the Mongols who are chasing up are caught in an ambush, wouldn't they be defeated?"

Yuzhu smiled slightly, blew out a smoke ring, and told Tayong: "You go out on your own, and lead five thousand and eight banner elite cavalry, and quietly follow behind the Mongolian scattered cavalry. After they are defeated, they are being chased by the Junggars. When you kill him, you will lead your troops to sneak back, understand?"

"The commander-in-chief is brilliant, but a lowly position is far inferior." Tayong suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and simply and neatly plunged down, expressing his submission.

More than 5000 Eight Banners elite cavalry, each with three horses.

According to Yuzhu's order, each of the [-] Eight Banners cavalry took only one horse to pursue, and Yuzhu had other magical uses for the remaining horses.

After Tayong left with the Eight Banners cavalry, Yu Zhu called Niu Tai and gave him the seal and soldier talisman representing General An Yuan, as well as the Baihong Saber.

Yuzhu urged: "You take the new army from the Qinbattalion and command the [-] Eight Banners infantry left behind. It must be noted that the food in the carts must be unloaded and piled in the middle of the camp. The carts are surrounded in several circles in the camp, and the artillery is mounted on them to form a formation of artillery vehicles like iron barrels. If the enemy attacks, they are only allowed to defend, not to attack, understand?"

"Hey!" Niu Tai also knew that if these grains were lost, the whole army would starve.

This matter is indeed of great importance and absolutely cannot be sloppy.

"After I'm gone, if someone doesn't listen to your order, just take the Baihong knife and chop off his head." Yu Zhu's order was very in line with Niu Tai's wishes. He rubbed his hands with joy, and agreed very simply, "Hey!"

After arranging everything, Yu Zhu packed up and took away the deputy governors, general managers and deputy general managers stationed in Xi'an to prevent them from interfering with Niu Tai's task of guarding the camp.

"Everyone is there, get on your horse." Yu Zhu rode his horse to the front of the new army's team, and gave the order without bothering to mobilize.

Due to many years of training, under Yu Zhu's deliberate arrangement, all the soldiers of the new army can ride horses.

It's just that I have never practiced archery with the bow immediately.

Yuzhu's requirements are actually not high. If he can ride a horse and gallop without falling off the horse, he is considered qualified.

If someone overlooks the entire battlefield, they will be surprised to find that the Junggars were defeated in front, and behind them are eight thousand Mongolian cavalry chasing with swords.After that, there were [-] Eight Banners cavalry led by Tai Yong.

In the last big puff of smoke and dust, there are nearly [-] soldiers of the new army led by Yuzhu.

The reason for this arrangement, to put it mildly, is that Yuzhu was only cautious in using his troops.

It's hard to say, hehe, Yuzhu is a ghost who is afraid of death, worried that he will be ambushed by the Junggar people.

Just now, in the binoculars, Yuzhu could actually see clearly. Although the Junggars were defeated, there were not many flags, drums and horns thrown on the ground.

In particular, the Khan Banner of Cewang Allah Butan was actually taken off and taken away.

In this era of combat, the role of the military flag is crucial.

There are many military blinds who just open their mouths to spray. They don't understand one thing at all, why the flag of the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army is cut down, which will lead to chaos in the army.

Hehe, the reason is actually very simple. The commander commanding the army, the orientation of the commander's flag, and the angle of inclination all represent different military connotations.

If the handsome flag falls, the command of the entire army will fail.

How shrewd is Yuzhu?

If Arab Butan fled in a panic and the morale of the army was shaken, who would have the time to take care of it, and it would not be easy to take off the banner of sweat?

Cewang Allah Butan, who was retreating in the front, never dreamed that such a young Yuzhu would have nine orifices in his heart, he was really cunning and speechless.

After setting out to pursue, Yuzhu didn't rush on his way, but stalked behind Taiyong at a leisurely pace.

The soldiers of the new army behind Yuzhu had ten days' worth of fried rice in their skin pouches on their shoulders.

Their saddles were filled with water bladders.

The soldiers of the new army have food, water, guns and ammunition. Yu Zhu is not worried about continuous combat at all.

In the Junggar Basin, although the oasis is not small, the water source from melting snow mountains is extremely rich, and there are many inland rivers.

However, Yuzhu still equipped each new soldier with six water bags.With so much water, drink it sparingly, and it will last for half a month, there must be no problem.

It was getting late, and when he was resting on the way, there was a sudden violent trembling sound from the grass under Yuzhu's buttocks.

Objectively speaking, the earth is trembling.

Needless to say, either the enemy army attacked suddenly, or the Qing army in front was ambushed and returned after being defeated.

Yuzhu's mentality was as stable as an old dog, and he didn't show any signs of panic.

While ordering the soldiers of the new army to line up to prepare for the battle, he waited for the dispatched sentinels to come back and report the military situation.
