Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 207 Cutting off the Tsar's Tentacles Extending to the East

With the launch of the rocket flare, the three cavalry divisions began to rush towards the enemy's formation at a fast pace, stopped less than a hundred meters away from the enemy's formation, and began to attack the enemy with volleys of guns.

The formation of the passively beaten enemy army soon became chaotic. In order to avoid the volley of guns, the Kazakh cavalry kept retreating to the middle of the formation, and the Ming cavalry continued to squeeze them forward.

The corpses of the cavalrymen who had been killed before prevented them from speeding up their charge, preventing them from breaking through the formation of the Ming army.

The roundabout cavalry division also caught up at this moment, blocking the enemy's retreat. Gradually, the gap between the enemy's troops became smaller and smaller, and the cavalry in the center of the enemy's army was already crowded with people and horses. If you are not young enough to be pushed off the horse, you will be trampled to death immediately.

Yesmuhan tried his best to maintain the formation, but no one wanted to face the fatal volley. When the entire formation was crowded, Boren ordered to shout to the enemy to surrender.

The Kazakhs, who still wanted to fight with beasts, refused Ming's surrender. Yesmuhan ordered everyone to dismount, and used the dead horses as a cover to block the Ming army's volley of guns.

In order to obtain more labor force, Boren ordered the shooting to stop, and the cannons were transferred from the fortress behind. The solid ammunition fired by fifty ten-jin cannons plowed fifty bloody alleys in the formation of the Kazakhs.

Faced with the unstoppable solid bullets, the Kazakhs completely lost their will to fight and dropped their weapons and surrendered one after another.

After forcing the Kazakhs to surrender, Boren used the cattle and sheep supplies they brought, handed over the captives to the garrison for custody, and led four cavalry divisions, splitting his troops into the empty hinterland of the Kazakhs.

Go all the way south to attack Tashkent, the "Sun City". After breaking through Tashkent, a fortress will be established there and the railway branch line will be extended to control the Yaoshashui (Dyr Darya) basin from where.

The other way is to go north to the Kazakh grassland and sweep up the Kazakh tribes there, lest they continue to run west after learning the news of the defeat.

In June of the fourth year of Yongli, the cavalry division that had completed the mopping-up returned to the fortress on the seaside of Yibo. Including the prisoners of the war, a total of 30 Tartars were captured, and countless cattle and sheep were flattering.

The Dayuzi and Zhongyuzi were completely destroyed, leaving only Xiaoyuzi lingering, and the Raksha Kingdom also received 10,000+ tribes who fled north.

At this time, the Raksha Kingdom had already destroyed the Kazan Khanate and the Siberia Khanate 30 years ago, and then relied on the Cossack cavalry to continue to conquer Siberia. They have expanded their influence to the vicinity of the North Sea and established the Krasnoyarsk Fortress .

After the Ming Dynasty defeated the Kazakh Khanate, it actually bordered the Raksha Kingdom. The Raksha Kingdom sent envoys to do business with Daming earlier.

Being vetoed by Zhang Zongxian, Zhang Zongxian's attitude towards this behemoth that has not yet grown up is not to leave hidden dangers for the latecomers, but to solve it and eliminate it.

Moreover, now is also the best time to solve the Raksha country. Compared with the expansion of Siberia, the European part of the Raksha country is in danger at this time. The large tracts of land along the Baltic Sea to the north of the first line firmly controlled the trade routes leading to Europe.

To the west is the feuding Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, occupying a series of important towns headed by Smolensk, threatening Moscow at all times.

In the southwest is Ukraine, which belongs to Poland, and the Cossack cavalry from the Ukrainian prairie is also a serious threat to Moscow; to the south is the Crimean Khanate, a Turkish vassal state that has invaded Russia countless times for centuries.

Only in the southern steppe are the Don Cossacks who obey Moscow but are still independent from Tsarist Russia.

As long as they cut off their evil hands extending to the east, and after the railway is repaired to the Volga River, they can send a large army to directly attack Moscow. After the main force of its army is eliminated, the surrounding countries will take the initiative to destroy it.

In the days that followed, the Northwest Protectorate began to build railways from Yibohai to the north and west at the same time. With sufficient manpower, it took only a few years to build the railway to the Volga River.

At the same time, the field troops under its jurisdiction continued to send troops to raid the strongholds established by the Raksha Kingdom on the Irtysh River, destroying all the strongholds of the Raksha Kingdom people, and arresting all the people inside to repair the railway.

The Ming cavalry, who come and go like the wind, are not as incapable of attacking as the Tartars. Under the bombardment of rockets, all the strongholds of the Raksha people on the Irtysh River were destroyed.

With the advancement of the railway, the Ming cavalry began to sweep towards Tyumen and Yekaterinburg in the previous life.

The Raksha Kingdom itself had few troops in Siberia, and under the attack of the Ming cavalry, its colonization of Siberia was completely paralyzed.

The original vast Siberia created a lot of wealth for the Raksha country. The merchants of the Raksha country made huge profits by exporting expensive fur and wood to Europe, and the treasury of the Raksha country gradually became full as a result.

The attack of the Ming army directly caused a great reduction in the revenue of its treasury, so it had to suspend the pace of its reorganization of the army.

The patriarch Filaret, who is also the father of Tsar Mikhail, originally wanted to send a new army to reinforce him, but the threat of the Politian coalition was added. The open stronghold could not support too many troops, so he could only continue to send Cossacks. Go to Siberia to stop the Ming army.

And ordered to shrink the line of defense, gave up continuing to explore eastward, and withdrew the troops from the Krasnoyarsk Fortress.

In May of the sixth year of Yongli (1632), the Northwest Protectorate House built a branch line from Yibohai to the Omsk area in the previous life, so that the cavalry of the entire Ming army could completely wipe out Luo Shaguo's colonial stronghold in Siberia.

Zhang Zongxian has only one request for the Northwest Protectorate, which is to turn West Siberia into a completely uninhabited land. The land occupied by the Ming Dynasty has not yet been digested, and the priority is to emigrate to Dongzhou. Such a bitter cold place can't keep people. .

Just let this place become a no-man's land, and let the population explode in the future for development.

In September, all the strongholds of the Raksha Kingdom in West Siberia were destroyed. Together with the original Tartars, there were less than 20 people. Only more than 1 people fled back to Europe, and the rest were captured to repair the railway.

When the Raksha State completely lost Siberia, Sigismund III, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, died. Sweden decided to take advantage of Polly's lack of a monarch to launch an invasion, so it immediately sent people to the Raksha State and Ottoman to propose an alliance to fight Polly.

The Raksha Kingdom believed that the opportunity was not lost, so they quickly invaded Poli and sent more than 2 Russian troops under the leadership of Mikhail Borisovich Schein to capture Dorogob first, and then attack Smolensk. The city launched an attack, and the Smolensk War broke out.
