Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 853
The war horse neighed.

Thousands of riders chased after him, trying to rescue the leader Zhuote Babatur.

In front of them, the nine-year-old Galdan was running wildly with twenty horsemen and attendants. Half of them had feathered arrows stuck in their bodies. Even the young Galdan had two feathered arrows stuck in his back, but which of them He didn't stop, he didn't even bother to draw the arrow.

Snow powder dances wildly.

Iron hooves thundered.

Finally, just as the pursuers were about to overtake him, they saw the large army.

A thousand Dabson battalion cavalry came oncoming.

Galdan reined in the horse, and the horseman stood up, neighing loudly.

Twenty attendants and military officers also turned their horses around one after another.

Galdan turned around and reloaded the ammunition. Thousands of riders galloped behind him, giving him great confidence. He said to his attendant Zhao Dabao, "Zhao Feiqi, let Zhuote Babatur go."

"Captain?"

"Let him go." Galdan looked coldly at his struggling and frightened elder brother, holding the firecracker, "I'll give you a chance now, run away!"

Zhuote Babatur was very embarrassed, his face was covered with blood, he looked at the young little brother, then at the countless people behind him, and then at his own subordinates rushing across.

Gritting his teeth, he ran away.

Galdan raised the gun, looked at his second brother who was struggling to escape in the snow, counted to three, and then raised his hand and fired a gun.

With a bang, the bullet passed by Zhuote Babatur's forehead. The startled Zhuote Babatur fell to the ground and found that he hadn't been shot. He got up in ecstasy and turned his head to look at Gar Dan actually showed a bit of sarcasm in his eyes, and even made a no-go gesture to him.

Galdan raised another pistol, and Zhuote Babatur hurried forward.

Galdan looked at him coldly, waited for him to run a few more steps, and then shot again.

With a bang, Zhuotebabatur fell to the ground again, but this time he was not wrestled, but was hit directly on the head, the skull was broken, and the red and white splashed out.

He fell to the ground and never got up again.

Galdan looked at his elder brother, and said disdainfully, "Push the street!"

The cavalrymen of the Dabson Battalion had already rushed behind, Galdan took the two loaded pistols handed over by his attendant Zhao Dabao, clipped the horse's belly, and charged without hesitation.

"kill!"

The young boy's voice is still a little immature, but his aura is like a tiger and a leopard.

At twenty, he dared to rush straight into the enemy camp and capture the enemy general alive. At the age of nine, he could calmly kill his brother in front of the two armies. Such a young man was born with a charisma of leadership.

Zhao Dabao raised the blunderbuss and shouted, "Kill!"

These twenty cavalry still lead the way, but this time there are more than a thousand martial cavalry behind.

The Junggar people on the opposite side were chasing Galdan madly just now, and Qianqi chased after Shishi, feeling more insulted by the fact that Shiqiqi broke into the camp and captured the general.

But in an instant, his chief general was shot and killed by the opponent, and he deliberately let go for a while, first deliberately shot a shot, and then killed him with a single shot. This is more than an insult.

Plus the recoil of the thousand riders behind them.

At this time, the Junggar people on the opposite side also had thousands of horsemen, which were evenly matched in number, but in terms of momentum, they were very different. On the one hand, their morale was high, and on the other hand, their morale had already fallen to the bottom.

The main general was captured, and the main general died.

The enemy has an ambush.

The opponent charged.

Two cavalrymen collided fiercely, and the military attache corps clashed their guns and swords to protect Galdan. Galdan only rushed forward, and when the two guns shot empty, he raised his bow and arrow and shot.

Under the leadership of Galdan and their sharpest arrows, the Dabson Battalion cut into the enemy group, tore it apart fiercely, and rushed over.

The group of enemy cavalry without a leader, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and after a face-to-face charge, they began to disperse. Some chose to fight persistently, while others turned around and ran away, and some slipped from both sides.

Galdan kept yelling, his voice became hoarse.

There are fewer and fewer people standing in front of them.

Others began to surrender.

Finally the battle is over.

Senggelei almost collapsed, but the results are gratifying, one thousand against one thousand, they not only captured the enemy's main general, but also defeated the opponent. Nearly two-thirds of the opponent actually surrendered on the battlefield, perhaps because everyone is Junggar , or maybe it was because of the infighting between the brothers of Galdan and Zhuote Babatur. Since the second child is already dead, then the sixth child is simply demoted, and there is no need to fight recklessly.

For these hundreds of people who surrendered, Galdan went over to say hello regardless of his fatigue, and even recognized some of them.

He deliberately put on a straight face, trying to appear more majestic.

"We are all Junggar warriors, and you are all loyal members of my Chuoros family. Now, I have killed Zhuot Babatur who murdered my brother Seng Gefu Khan, and the rest will not be held accountable."

Galdan sang red face to appease the surrendered soldiers, while Zhao Dabao played white face and began to interrogate the enemy. He also specially found a few seriously injured soldiers to come over and chop them up, to make an example of them.

The results obtained were neither good nor bad.

They didn't come too late, Boho Fort was still there, but Chu Hu'er and the others surrounded it for eighteen days, Boho Fort suffered heavy casualties, and it probably wouldn't last long, and if it was later, it would definitely fall.

"I suggest dividing the troops into several groups, raising more flags, bluffing, and appearing in Bohuosi Fort. This not only gives confidence to the city, but also confuses Chu Hu'er's army, so that he dare not continue to attack the city with all his strength."

Zhao Dabao made a suggestion.

Galdan trusted his art of war teacher and captain of the guard, "Then what?"

"Then choose a dangerous place to set up camp, and form a corner with Bohuoxi Fort, and watch and help each other. We wait for Dabson's follow-up reinforcements."

Chu Hu'er has a large number of people, and with the thousand Dabson battalion cavalry and several hundred surrendered troops, he will definitely not be able to defeat Chu Hu'er, so it is better to be steady first.

Galdan asked other Han Chinese to join the army and military officers.

"I don't recommend rushing into Bohuoxi Fort right now. If you go in, you will die. It is the best policy to choose a place outside the city to set up a camp and support each other."

"We have too few troops, and we will definitely not be able to fight recklessly. We need reinforcements."

"Send people to Burqin Fort and Tacheng Appeasement Fort to see what's going on, and ask the imperial court for more reinforcements."

Although these soldiers or coaches are not all from the imperial camp, some are from village towns, some are from regiment training, and local village forces and even the original green camp, Chuangying, Xiying, etc., but without exception, they all lived in troubled times for a long time. A battle veteran.

Those who can survive, at least have good knowledge. If you say that you may not be able to grasp the larger-scale battle level, but you still have some experience in small-scale battles.

It was also a surprise to overthrow Zhuote Babatur, and it was the opponent's underestimation of the enemy, but this trick could not be useful to Chu Hu'er.

"Okay, everyone, please come up with a plan, hurry up, that old thief Chu Hu'er will definitely know from the defeated soldiers that we are coming soon."

······
night.

To the northwest of Bohosi, several fire dragons appeared.

It was the reinforcements who arrived from the middle and lower reaches of the Irtysh River to reinforce Bohosi Fort.

Standing in the wind and snow, Chu Hu'er looked at the fire dragons, riding at least a thousand horses each way.As an experienced Junggar veteran, although he is not as famous as the Kundulun Ubash brothers of the Oirat Wuhu, the Junggar brothers He Duoheqin and Chu Hu'er were also the first in every battle. Pioneer Titans.

Judging the number of enemies from fire, smoke, and teams is a basic ability of a general.

Looking at these reinforcements, he still can't believe that that little kid in Galdan rushed into Zhuote Babatur's camp with twenty cavalry, captured him alive, and then sent him back to the camp. They set off before the formation and then killed, and then led the crowd to defeat the chasing Zhuote Babatur's more than a thousand men, and even surrendered most of the prisoners.

This sounded like a myth, so when the defeated soldiers who first came back to report told him this, he chopped off seven of them in a row.

But when every defeated soldier who came back said so, Chu Hu'er stopped beheading people.

Galdan is his little nephew, only nine years old, a kid who hasn't even grown hair yet. He was sent to Daming in the Central Plains as a hostage when he was five years old. He stayed there with Sengge for several years. He returned to the tribe last year. Sengge was the deputy Khan, and he also became one of the twelve governors of the left wing.

There are about [-] tents in the left wing of Sengge, and about [-] tents in the Dabsun Dudu Mansion in Galdan. Chu Hu'er doesn't know how this kid can be so sensitive and so far away, so fast in this cold winter wind and snow. just come.

He must have brought more than a thousand riders, probably five or six thousand or even more.

I heard that he had wiped out a Russian army in the area of ​​Dabson Lake, stormed a camp, and incorporated some Kyrgyz and Kazakh tribes. His strength is not weak.

Look at Fort Boho, and look at those reinforcement dragons.

Chu Hu'er, who was planning to launch another fierce attack tonight and vowed to take down Bo Huoxi without further delay, also had to order a suspension of tonight's siege plan.

The enemy's situation is unknown, so he has to be careful.

He expected in his heart that Galdan would bring at least three to four thousand troops. He had to be cautious, and even more might come.

Returning to the tent, Chu Hu'er was furious. She originally thought that after killing Seng Ge, the next move would be very quick. First, she would take Bohuo Xibao, annex Sang Ge's left-wing troops, and then join Duerbert's troops Go south to capture Tacheng, Hobokseri, and then Wusu, take back the entire Junggar land, and then attack Turpan Khan together with Duerbert and Kundulun Ubash.

But now he was delayed here for eighteen days, unable to advance an inch, and lost more than [-] soldiers and horses. The idiot Zhuote Babatur lost nearly another [-] in one fell swoop.

Duerbert's Heshuo Qihan also never sent troops as agreed.

He is now being roasted on the fire.

"Secure the camp, don't attack without my order!" Chu Hu'er didn't dare to underestimate his little nephew, even though he believed in his heart that Zhuote Babatur died at the hands of Ming Dynasty officers, and Ming generals fought that battle.

That night, all the battalions of Chu Hu'er's army retreated to their camps and did not move.

The more than 1000 Bu Xun soldiers were divided into several groups, and they worked very hard all night. They spent the first half of the night running back and forth with fire.

In the second half of the night, they gathered together, approached less than ten miles from Bohosi, and chose a soil slope to set up camp.

At dawn, Chu Hu'er received a report, saying that only a camp of Galdan's men and horses had been found ten miles northwest of the city, about a thousand riders, and the rest of the men and horses were missing.

"Explore again!"

Chu Hu'er frowned. The number of reinforcements last night was obviously several thousand, but now it is only over a thousand. So where did the other two or three thousand go?
If he didn't find these people, he really couldn't feel at ease, and he didn't dare to attack Bohuosi Fort or Galdan camp rashly.

In case of a big battle, the opponent attacks from behind, which is very dangerous.

At the top of the city of Bohuo Sibao, those fire dragons in the northwest last night made the princess sleepless all night. In the middle of the night, a small cavalry team arrived at the bottom of the city. It's a military officer I know, stationed in Dabson.

Even though they knew each other, Zhu Shifu verified it very carefully and carefully. He also checked the handwritten letter from Galdan he brought and the ring seal on it, and there were also Changshi and Sima of the Dabuxun Camp who were stationed there. Only then did he confirm that he was not captured by Chu Hu'er and later cheated the city with the seal certificate of the Ming military officer.

"I didn't expect the little boy of Galdan to be so brave." Zhu Shi could not stop sighing.

"The governor, please rest assured that the princess and Chang Shi are waiting. The reinforcements have arrived. You are safe. There will be more reinforcements coming later. The governor has also sent people to Tacheng and Barzin Fort to ask for help. Chu Hu'er can't be complacent. How long."

With the arrival of a new force of reinforcements, everyone in the castle breathed a sigh of relief. Even if they were still outside the city, at least they could restrain Chu Hu'er from attacking the city with all his strength.

"I don't know what's going on in Tacheng and Barzin Fort. Why haven't I seen any reinforcements for so long? Instead, Galdan, which is farther north, came first." The princess was full of worry, "Will Could it be that something happened over there, could it be that Durbert Khan and Kundu Lun Utai Shi Jinong really turned against each other?"

"Princess, don't worry. Even if they really turn against each other, don't worry. Chu Hu'er and Zhuote Babatur have surrounded us for so long, and they can't take it down. Tacheng and Balzin Fort are all stationed with elites, whether it is the Han Navy or the The defense battalion stationed in Anxi is not something they can take down, it is a bastion equipped with many artillery pieces." Zhu Shifu was very confident, although he also wondered why the reinforcements did not arrive for so long.

He even had some doubts in his heart, whether it was the imperial court's opinion that he would not save him, or he was using Bohuo Sibao as a bait to catch big fish.

Although this kind of thinking makes people feel a little uncomfortable, after all, he is also in Bohuo Sibao now, but as a senior military officer and a third-rank general, don't you know that sometimes national interests are paramount, and such sacrifices will definitely be made.

Fortunately, Galdan is here, and Bo Huoxi can hold on for a while.

"Your Highness, the reinforcements have arrived, and the crisis is temporarily lifted. Your Highness will hand over the city defense to the ministers, and please return to your residence to rest."

"Then I will hand over the city defense to Uncle Huang."

this day.

It was a rare quiet day in Boho Siburg.

On the west bank of Xuanchi, there was no shout of war, just a few troops, it was so quiet, but everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

A bigger storm is coming.
