Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 850
No matter how fierce the Ming army was, it was impossible to kill all the 10,000+ troops in Turpan without leaving any one behind.

When the Yarkand Khanate learned that Turpan had fallen, the Ming army quickly marched towards the Ili Valley. Abdullah immediately ordered the governor of Yili to use the desert to defeat the Ming army.

The Yili River Valley is the most grain-riding cattle and sheep production area of ​​the Yarkand Khanate, and of course it will be heavily defended.

When there is no war, there are 10 cavalry here. After Hassan led the army to leave, Khan Abdullah immediately dispatched troops to guard the Ili Valley and the capital. Now the Ili Valley has reached [-] horses.

When they learned that the Ming army was still [-] kilometers away from the Yili River Valley, they sent [-] cavalry to prepare to raid the Ming army while strengthening their defense.

The main general of the Ming army who raided this time was called Hami Chi. This man was not ruthless in fighting, but he was very cunning.

He led [-] cavalry to come at a fast speed, and when he was about five kilometers away from the Ming army, he stopped the army and continued to advance.

He sent more than a dozen scouts to report back and forth, and he was waiting for the reports from the scouts, so as to grasp the actions of the Ming army in real time.

But he didn't expect that the Ming army sent more scouts than them.

Because the scouts of the Ming army were all wearing the equipment of the cavalry of the Yarkand Khanate, they took advantage of the opportunity to get close to them and killed many of their scouts.

What happened to be killed was the scout who saw the Ming army split up for three years, which also prevented Hami from getting the latest news from the Ming army in time.

Dozens of scouts from the Yarkand Khanate reported back and forth, and several of them never came back.

Hami Chi didn't pay much attention at first. It's normal for soldiers to get lost in the desert. All they brought with them were water and dry food, and they could find them back in a few days.

For the sake of safety, he still decided to divide the [-] cavalry into three groups, and the first group of [-] cavalry led an attack on the Ming army.

These 5000 people were mainly to test the strength of the Ming army. If something went wrong, he decided to withdraw first.

Anyway, the governor of Yili didn't give him a death order, so he shouldn't be punished.

Hami urged his horse to stand on a slightly higher sand dune, and raised his eyes to look in the direction of the Ming army.

In fact, fighting in the desert affects everyone, it's just that the troops who often move here are more familiar with the environment.

Just as Hami Chi looked in the direction of the Ming army, suddenly a gust of wind blew up, and the blown dust just covered the traces of the Ming army's activities. Hami Chi only saw yellow sand flying all over the sky.

In fact, this is very common in the desert, and Hami Chi did not panic, and immediately waved:

"The first team to attack."

Five thousand cavalry urged their horses to kill the Ming army, and the yellow sand carried by the horses flew all over the sky, as if a sandstorm was coming.

Standing on a taller sandy mountain in the distance, Zhu Cihong used the high-powered binoculars in his hand to clearly see the troops led by Hami Chi. He saw only 5000 troops rushing towards the Ming army. He immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie:
"Zhang Fugui, there are only 5000 Yarkand cavalrymen rushing towards you, pay attention to safety and don't beat them too hard at once, try to attract the large troops behind them."

"Yes"

Zhang Fugui took the order and immediately conveyed Zhu Cihong's order to the whole army.

But Zhu Cihong and Li Yan and the others were temporarily sick, and stood in the distance watching the excitement with binoculars.

Telescopes are widely used by the navies of Western countries. In the hands of the chief generals and scouts of the Ming Dynasty, almost everyone has one, but in the Yarkand Khanate, they are extremely rare. Only the great man Abdullah has one, and Hassan also has one, both of which are very backward. monocular telescope.

The two binoculars in their hands were paid tribute by other small countries to please the Yarkand Khanate. After Hassan was captured, the Ming army did not pick up the single-tube binoculars he dropped on the ground at all. They felt that they were too backward.

Let's talk about Zhang Fugui, Meng Liang and Brother Xiaohu. Now the four of them lead 5000 people under their command and are the main force to guard the camel caravan of the Ming army. After receiving Zhu Cihong's order, all three of them turned their attention to Meng Liang.

They only know how to kill their opponents. As for the method that the prince said to keep the camel team safe and at the same time attract the opponent's main force, they really don't know how to do it.

Since they were young, they only ate, drank and played together. They all knew that Meng Liang had a lot of tricks, so they all wanted him to find a way:

"Lao Meng, it's up to you now, quickly find a way to see how to keep the camel team without defeating the opponent."

Meng Liang looked around and said immediately:
"Fugui and I led the subordinates to use bayonets to deal with them. Big tigers and small tigers led all your subordinates to lie behind the camels. As soon as you see cavalry rushing over, kill them immediately. This can delay for a while. Only let them see that there is a chance. Only now will his large army come to snatch the camel caravan and supplies, and then His Highness can lead the army to encircle..."

Before Meng Liang finished speaking, Huang Dahu and Huang Xiaohu objected. They were worried that Zhang Fugui and Meng Liang would go the same way as they did a few days ago.

"No, this is too dangerous. Maybe there will be many casualties again. I don't agree."

Zhang Fugui stared:
"Don't talk nonsense, act quickly, do you have a better way?"

"This……"

Huang Dahu and Huang Xiaohu were speechless for a moment, they really had no better way.

When Zhu Cihong did not enter the Royal Military Academy, Zhang Fugui was the boss. Now that Zhu Cihong is away, he still has to listen to Zhang Fugui. Huang Dahu is not talking nonsense, and immediately led his subordinates to hide behind the camels.

And Zhang Fugui waved his hand and ordered:
"Brothers, are you afraid of death? Not afraid of death with a bayonet, if you are afraid of death, quit immediately."

"Don't be afraid, we are willing to fight side by side with the general..."

,"brush……"

The well-trained Little Tigers installed the bayonets on the rifled guns in unison, waiting for the next order from the general.

Zhang Fugui has always strongly supported Meng Liang's ideas, no matter what happened before, he doesn't care, seeing the bayonet installed, Zhang Fugui encouraged Meng Liang:
"Brother, I leave it to you, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent."

Meng Liang smiled and reached out to pat Zhang Fugui on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, you and I won't be benevolent."

After Meng Liang finished speaking, he said to the soldiers:

"Attention all households, don't fight alone when fighting for a while. Although they are all cavalry, the rifled guns with bayonets in our hands are longer than their scimitars, and there are more people than them. We must cooperate with each other to fight. In encirclement and annihilation warfare, once in danger, immediately draw your gun and kill your opponent."

"Yes"

"Okay, step forward and wait for the cavalry of the Yarkant Khanate to arrive."

"Yes"

Zhang Fugui and Meng Liang led 100 troops to fight the Yarkand cavalry 100 meters forward, and the [-] meters behind were handed over to Brother Huang Dahu. kill.

The current formation of the Little Tigers is also one of the regular training items. Hot weapons fight cold weapons. In the event of hand-to-hand combat, they must have the ability to protect themselves, otherwise they will be lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

As soon as I stood here, I saw a cavalry rushing menacingly from the opposite side.

Seeing the cavalry coming, Huang Dahu and Huang Xiaohu brothers, who were 100 meters behind Zhang Fugui and Meng Liang, were a little worried for Zhang Fugui and Meng Liang. Huang Dahu turned around and shouted:

"Be careful with marksmanship. Once you see Ming soldiers in danger, shoot and kill their opponents immediately. Pay special attention to protecting the two young generals."

"Yes, we are all sharpshooters."

Before Huang Dahu finished speaking, the soldiers around him raised their guns and aimed at the front.
