Chapter 555 Captured Yarkand Soldiers

"Attack!" Sun Chuanting held up his command saber, and two thousand infantrymen armed with Dreiser rifles followed him, breaking through the defense line of Yarkand soldiers in Hami.

Only a small number of Yarkand soldiers had matchlock guns, and most of them were still using bows and arrows. They were horrified to find that the Kyushu Army had already shot at them with muskets before they entered their range.The intensive firepower targeted the Yarkand soldiers who were accustomed to queuing up to shoot and shoot.

"Retreat...retreat!" The general of the Yarkand Khanate just shouted, when he was hit in the right leg by a bullet flying from nowhere.He staggered and fell to the ground, and some panicked soldiers around him hurriedly helped him up.

"General, you have been hit by the Kyushu Army's muskets!" The Yarkand soldier beside him shouted hastily.

"Stop talking nonsense, and lead everyone to retreat!" General Yarkand Khan stood up in pain, and limped away with the soldiers.

In the process of escaping in panic, many soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate were shot and killed by muskets.

Next to the village where the battlefield is located, the artillery unit under Sun Chuanting's command did not move, but was just observing the battle situation.This time, Sun Chuanting led troops to raid the enemy in the Hami area. It was too late to deploy artillery positions, and there was no need to deploy them at all. He directly sent infantry to press up and defeated the enemy defending this line.

This team of the Yarkand Khanate is also unlucky enough. Originally, Dorgon led the Hami region to surrender to the Yarkand Khanate in order to obtain the support of the Yarkand Khan. Dorgon defended the Hami area.The Wanyerqiang soldiers were distributed at the junction of Hami and Dunhuang, and unfortunately became the direct target of the Kyushu Army.

When the soldiers of the Kyushu Army were chasing the Yarkand soldiers, they pointed out their bayonets and shouted: "Put down your weapons, and I will spare you!"

Many Yarkand soldiers could not understand Chinese, and only saw their enemies chasing and killing them with strange weapons, so they fought back with the soldiers of the Kyushu Army with the broadswords around their waists.

clang!The bayonet pushed aside the broadsword of the Yarkand soldier, and another bayonet that cooperated from the side took the opportunity to penetrate into the body of the Yarkand soldier!The soldiers of the Kyushu Army have undergone strict modern militarization training, and have improved the method of hand-to-hand combat. It is no longer a mindless melee, but a three-three cooperation, maintaining a numerical advantage over the enemy in local close combat.

The excellent modern army met the soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate who were still in the transition from cold weapons to hot weapons. It was like a one-sided massacre. In the chaotic retreat, more than a hundred Yarkand soldiers fell one after another.

More than 300 Yarkand soldiers who had no time to retreat were surrounded by Sun Chuanting's soldiers. They huddled in the village and used the collapsed houses as obstacles to serve as the last fortification.

"Surrender immediately, or we will bombard you with artillery, and kill all of you when the village is destroyed!" A Zhungeer herdsman was called by Sun Chuanting to fight against the Yarkand soldiers trapped in the village.

"General... general, they asked us to surrender." A trapped Yarkand soldier said to the wounded Yarkand general.

General Yarkand dragged his injured thigh in pain, the wound on it was still bleeding, he limped to the side of the mud wall, looked outside the village, his heart shivered.

Outside the village, Sun Chuanting's infantry had already arranged their formation, and aimed their muskets at the village.What is even more frightening is the artillery unit that is watching from the sidelines, seemingly doing nothing, but actually threatening them the most.The general of the Kyushu Army on the opposite side seemed a little impatient, and had already begun to deploy artillery.These artillery can easily destroy simple mud walls.

"Let's give up resistance. The enemy's forces are too strong. The Great Khan will understand our choice." General Yarkand put down his weapons and said in despair.

Around the village, there were many corpses of Yarkand soldiers, and Sun Chuanting hurriedly buried them on the spot.As for the more than 300 Yarkand soldiers who surrendered, Sun Chuanting sent a small team to escort them to Dunhuang City.This is the first batch of captives of the Southern Expeditionary Force.

"Continue to advance to the west, our progress is a little slow." Sun Chuanting was not interested in the captured Yarkand generals at all, and directly regarded them as ordinary prisoners, and escorted them to Dunhuang City together.

His purpose is to recover Guazhou in the Hami area, and capture Dorgon there and dedicate it to the military lord.According to the joint investigation of the Military Intelligence Department and the Intelligence Department, they figured out who the Tsarist-Russian coalition forces fighting the Jungar tribe were in this winter.When they knew that the vanguard of the Tsarist-Russian coalition was Nurhaci's eighth son, Dorgon, they were all taken aback.

A few years ago, the Kyushu Army spent a lot of effort to overthrow the rule of the Jurchen nobles with the help of the Horqin tribe. Huang Taiji buried himself and Hou Jin in a fire.But at that time, a group of nobles such as Brother Hao, Dorgon, and Fan Wenchao escaped from the northern part of Jianzhou and disappeared into the Siberian wilderness.Although it was speculated at the time that they were heading towards the West Siberia Plain, and they might have entered the territory of Tsarist Russia, it was still surprising when they reappeared here.

The military leader Chu Yun has already ordered that Dorgon and others be brought before him regardless of life or death.So as a rookie in the infantry corps, Sun Chuanting is too eager for this opportunity.Recovering the old place of the Western Regions can be remembered in history, and the capture of Dorgon and the others is a complete end to the dispute between the former dynasty and the later Jin Dynasty!Sun Chuanting wants to do these two things!

"Where is your general? I want to see the general of the Central Plains who defeated me, otherwise I will not be reconciled!" General Yarkand found that the generals of the Kyushu Army ignored him, but treated him as an ordinary soldier, as if Where was he going to be escorted, he yelled at the soldiers escorting him unwillingly.

After all, he was a great general of a large Khanate, and when he was defeated, he was regarded as an ordinary soldier and was not taken seriously at all.In other words, in the opponent's heart, he is not an opponent at the same level at all.Compared with being captured, this feeling of being slighted made him feel more humiliated.

"Don't yell, our general still wants to recover Guazhou, how can we have time to pay attention to you, a defeated general? Our team has also reached the eighth life of blood mold, and we have to escort you prisoners, otherwise we can also go to Guazhou with our general , Make more military exploits." The soldiers who escorted them also complained.

General Yeerqiang was even more depressed. Even a small soldier dared to talk to him like this, and the Kyushu Army really looked down on him.
