Chapter 564 Calculation
"Open the gate and send the warriors of the Yarkand Khanate." Dorgon ordered the soldiers at the west gate to open the gate.

Su Li, the leader of the Yarkand Khanate, held a horsewhip and said to Dorgon who was standing by the city gate: "Dorgon, you really don't want to leave this isolated city with me? You must know that there are no reinforcements here. Continue on." Staying here is a dead end. If you follow me to the Yarkand Khanate, with your bravery, the Khan will definitely use you."

"I have a sworn feud with the Kyushu Army, and they won't let us go. If I go to the Yarkand Khanate with you, won't it implicate you?" Dorgon shook his head.

"Then... I wish you good luck, and we will meet again when we have a chance." Suli rode his horse and led thousands of soldiers from the Yarkand Khanate to leave from the west gate, like a fire dragon leaving Turpan City.

Dorgon watched Su Li lead the people away, his eyes flickered, and he said to his cronies: "Gather all the soldiers who are loyal to us."

boom! ! !Just when Su Li came out of the west gate, there was a loud noise at the east gate, shaking the sky and the earth!This loud noise was dozens of times the sound of the Kyushu Army's artillery they heard during the day!
Su Li, Dorgon and all the sober soldiers in the city looked towards the direction of the east city gate, and saw that the flames were soaring into the sky, the flames splashed, and even the flames splashed onto the city wall!Pieces of stones and bricks in the explosion area slipped and fell into the sea of ​​flames!

Dorgon narrowed his eyes.This kind of scene seems to be similar to him. The Kyushu Army once used the same tactic in Liaodong - blasting the city wall with a large amount of powerful gunpowder.This kind of gunpowder is different from traditional black gunpowder. Not only is it more destructive, but it can also cause a big fire.This kind of fire will cause huge damage to the city wall, and may even burn the city wall.

"Bombardment!" Outside the city, the Kyushu Army still did not send infantry or cavalry to attack the city, but used dozens of cannons again to bombard the collapsing city wall.

Xu Shi stood beside the big Napoleon artillery, observing the crumbling city of Turpan.In his opinion, it is a matter of time before the picric acid explosive detonates and the artillery shells, the walls of Turpan City that are used to resist cold weapons will collapse.

Batur and Gushi Khan witnessed the general process of the Kyushu Army blasting the city wall with their own eyes.The Kyushu Army specially sent a team to lurk there, and then there were soaring flames and deafening noises.The power of explosives surpassed their imagination, and was regarded by Batur and Gushi Khan as a firearm more powerful than artillery!
"What are you using? Why is it so powerful?" Batur asked, pointing to the Turpan city wall that was burned by flames.

"This is a secret of our Kyushu Army, and we have nothing to say." Xu Shi vaguely mentioned it.

Gushi Khan and Batur looked at each other in blank dismay. It was really hard for them to imagine what kind of gunpowder the Kyushu Army used.If the Kyushu Army uses such firearms to deal with them, will the entire Qinghai Lake Ranch be turned into a sea of ​​flames?
"Is the Kyushu Army going to attack the city? Let's get out of here quickly!" After leaving the city gate, Su Li gripped his horse's belly and led the soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate to flee Turpan City.

On the way to the east of Urumqi, there is a ten thousand cavalry unit composed of Mobei cavalry and Monan cavalry wandering here.The rangers of hundreds of people spread out like spider webs, blocking the way for the enemy troops in Turpan City to escape to the Yarkant Khanate in the south or the Turpan Basin in the north.

"If you find the enemy, report to the brigade commander!" These rangers scattered in the Turpan Basin immediately discovered the Yarkand soldiers who fled to the south of the Yarkand Khanate, so hundreds of rangers quickly shrank and reported the news A steady stream of reports to the commander in charge of the ambush force.

"Everyone, get ready!" Ten thousand cavalry took out their muskets or sabers and hid in the darkness.

The cavalry of the Yarkand Khanate fled in the darkness with torches in hand. Su Li was a little flustered, but after he left Turpan City, he felt a little relieved.The cavalry and infantry of the Kyushu Army are all assembled outside the east city of Turpan City, so they will never pursue them at night.

"Commander, further ahead is the road to the south, which is the road leading to our Khanate. As long as we pass through that valley, we will be completely safe." A Yarkand general beside Su Li said.

"Well, I hope that the Kyushu Army will not retaliate against us because our Yarkand Khanate dealt with the Zhungeer tribe. Speaking of it, we are too greedy to intervene in Turpan and some places at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. The conflict between the Er tribes." Su Li regretted it incessantly.

"I think it's not that the Khan and the commander made a mistake in their judgment. The Jungar tribe has been very strong in recent years. If we don't destroy them when they are weak, sooner or later they will pose a huge threat to our khanate." General Yarkand supported the actions of the previous Khanate.

"Forget it, the deal is done, we are thinking that if we try our best to turn the tide, we will deal with the next crisis!" Su Li said.

The cavalry troops of the Yarkand Khanate had knights holding torches at intervals of more than ten meters to light the way for their companions behind.

But these torches have also become life-threatening charms.

"Woo--" Su Li entered the valley leading to the Yarkand Khanate, and suddenly reined in his horse.

"What's the matter with you, Commander?" The general and soldiers next to Su Li asked in puzzlement.

"I have an ominous premonition... Don't you think it's going too well? The Kyushu Army even counted on the cavalry from the Kazakh Khanate. Why did they recall all the cavalry in advance?" Su Li discovered here There was something wrong with the vibe.

Before, he was too eager to escape from the dangerous city of Turpan, and somewhat ignored the danger behind.

Boom!With the first gunshot in the darkness, the dense musket sound covered the entire valley, and the Yarkand cavalry holding torches became the most conspicuous target!

Su Li was stunned by the gunshot for a few seconds before he could react, and immediately shouted: "Throw away the torch!"

Turpan City has suffered an unprecedented attack!First, it was blasted by picric acid explosives, and then bombarded by dozens of artillery pieces. The front of the east city wall collapsed, revealing countless flaws.Thirty thousand Kyushu Army soldiers outside the city, armed with muskets, finally began to march into the city.The dense muskets completely suppressed the defenders in the city!
At the west city gate, Dorgon, who promised Su Li that he would live and die with Turpan City, rushed out with two or three thousand cavalry. Knowing that the Kyushu Army would definitely leave an ambush in the west, I used you to lure them away, otherwise we would also be captured by the Kyushu Army. I haven’t taken revenge yet, so I can’t die yet.”
