Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Bogda Khan is the respectful name given to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty by the various Mongolian ministries attached to the Qing Dynasty, and this mountain range located south of the Tula River (Tule River) was dubbed the same by the Khalkha Mongols because of its high mountains. The name shows its majesty.But what really made this mountain range full of black pine forests famous is that the small plateau in the north became the residence of Jebtsundamba Rinpoche in the future. Of course, the merciful Rinpoche has been killed by robbers It was Galdan Boshuoktuhan who was driven to the south and occupied this land of water sources.

Speaking of which, Galdan is also in a bit of a predicament now. Facing the [-] Qing-Mongol coalition troops stationed at the foot of Kent Mountain in the east, he has learned a painful lesson in the battle of Ulan Butong. Compared with the Eastern Zhungeer Empire in terms of national strength, it is still a very powerful opponent fighting for manpower and supplies.However, he retreated without a fight, and Ge Erdan really couldn't do it.The reason is very simple. Although his team has recovered to more than [-] cavalry now, half of them are Khalkha Mongols who have just been kidnapped. But if Galdan was defeated, it would be normal for him to collapse in an instant.For this reason, Galdan could only hope that the Qing army was trapped by long food roads, the inconvenience caused by inefficient supply levels, and the associated low morale.

Galdan was indecisive, and Fei Yanggu, who was in command of the coalition forces, did not dare to act rashly.On the one hand, the combat power of the Jungar people had already been taught by the Qing army in the Battle of Ulan Butong; on the other hand, Fei Yanggu, who had not yet received news of Zheng’s Northern Expedition, did not dare to take the most precious Qing army in his hands easily. The reserves of the country were thrown into bloody large-scale battles.Of course, Fei Yanggu also has other ideas, three ways to conquer the army, not to mention the east way, if the Ganshan troops in the west can outflank it in place, I believe it will definitely shake the fighting spirit of Galdan's subordinates, and then fight again. Naturally saves time and effort.

The commanders on both sides wanted to wait for changes, but the progress of the war did not depend on the will of the two.

"Generals, I presumably already know the emperor's will," Fei Yang said in an old-fashioned way when the imperial envoy stepped aside to pass the order. "Now that Cewang Allah Butan is sending troops to Ganshan and Shanxi, the situation is extremely critical, so I decided to withdraw the troops immediately."

"Slow!" Fei Yanggu's voice had not yet landed, and Wang Daolong, the commander of the Shanxi Right Guard, came out to salute. "General, don't withdraw your troops." Fei Yanggu raised his eyebrows, and Wang Daolong said eagerly. "Once our army retreats, Galdan will stare at him like a maggot attached to the bone, and our army has limited horses. It can't outrun the Zhungeer army with one man and three horses. At that time, everything will be over."

What Wang Daolong said made sense. It is impossible to hide the truth from the eyes and ears of the Zhungeer army when retreating on the vast grassland. It is even more difficult, not to mention the devastating consequences of the withdrawal order on the morale of the army and the many negative effects it has brought about.

"General, what Wang Zongrong said makes sense." In name, he was walking in the army, but in fact, he was the leader of the army and the Minister of Internal Affairs, Ma Sika, who was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, nodded at Fei Yanggu. "But what is more important is the reaction of the princes of Chahar, Tumed, and Erdos. Once they are separated from their virtues, I am afraid."

Although Ma Sika did not directly point out the consequences, everyone in the big tent had already understood it. Fei Yanggu thought about it for a moment, and then looked at the imperial envoy who was silent after sending the order. Flowed down.

Fei Yanggu was still making difficult choices, but Galdan didn't give him this chance. The sound of rumbling golden drums and long hissing horns could be faintly heard in the distance, making Fei Yanggu wake up from hesitation. I feel it.

After scanning the generals in the tent, Fei Yanggu sighed: "I'm afraid Galdan has also received the news from Ganshan, no matter what, I won't be able to go back without a fight, come here, pass on my general order "

Fei Yanggu guessed correctly, Galdan took the initiative to attack after receiving news from the southwest.However, Fei Yanggu also guessed wrong. In fact, the news Galdan got was not how Dace Lingdun Duobu swept Ganliang, but that Zhang Yunyi's outflanking army on the west road was unlucky after crossing the vast sea after untold hardships. He bumped into another army marching eastward arranged by Cewang Alabatan.The two sides fought a battle, and Zhang Yunyi was lucky to win, but he was unable to continue to implement the established policy of outflanking, and led the remaining troops to turn around and return south.

Although breaking off one wing of the Qing army was a good thing for Galdan, who could not be separated, but Cewang Allah Butan actually secretly sent troops into the territory of East Zhungeer, which made Galdan think too much.In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, Galdan had to send troops to deal with Fei Yanggu, so that he could turn around and return to his old lair, Kobduo, so the two sides made the same choice by mistake, and a great battle came

The main forces of the two sides have not yet fought, and small-scale skirmishes have started one after another.In view of the fact that the main force of the Qing army was the Eight Banners, which possessed a large number of firearms, the Zhungeer army wisely targeted the allied banners of the same clan, such as Chahar, Tumed, and Ordos.Chahar and other Mongolian tribes in Monan have not fought for decades, and the living conditions in Monan are much better than those in Mobei. Therefore, the fighters of these Union Banners are not only inferior to the battle-hardened Jungars, Even the Kalkha Mongolian soldiers, whose combat power has also degraded a lot, couldn't beat them. As a result, the Jungar Army's 150 cavalry could defeat a single leader of the Monan Mongolian soldiers (Note: Mongolian Zuoling commanded [-] cavalry during the war) situation, which caused Galdan's confidence to overinflate.

On May 28, just as the Qing government ordered the mobilization of all troops from the southern front to the Jianghuai front, the decisive battle between the East Zhungeer Army and the Qing Army finally kicked off in the wilderness of Mobei.The Eastern Zhungeer Army has a total of 9000 thousand-man troops, with a strength of about 8000. The Qing army has a strength of 1000. Among them, 1 people from the Eight Banners Forbidden Brigade and the Eight Banners Garrisoned in Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaodong rank in the center. On the left, there are 8000 Zhili Green Banner Soldiers and Tumed Cavalry, and on the right, there are Shanxi Green Camp and [-] Chahar and Ordos Cavalry.

At the end of Maoshi, the Zhungeer army took the lead in attacking.Galdan dispatched two cavalry teams of 5000 men each to attack the left and right wings, and at the same time used three thousand-man teams to contain the central Qing army.Seeing the Zhungeer army attacking, the Qing army hurriedly released artillery to stop it, and then fired bird guns all over the place.Although the Qing army has strengthened its firearms training after the Battle of Ulan Butong, the firepower of the Qing army still did not play a big role in front of the high-speed cavalry, except for disturbing some untrained Khalkha Mongolians. Except for the horses of the soldiers, they only caused very few casualties to the opponent.

Just after the first hour of the hour, the left-wing Zhungeer army took the lead in breaking into the Shanxi Green Camp and Chahar, Ordos and other troops. Although the Qing army had a two-to-one force advantage, the Chahar and other troops suffered a lot in the previous battle. Small and unstable, seeing the menacing Zhungeer army at this moment, they didn't dare to face it head-on. As a result, the Zhungeer army went straight to the Green Camp in Shanxi.

The Shanxi Green Camp had never experienced any wars after the pacification of the San Francisco, so their combat power had dropped drastically. At this moment, facing the impact of thousands of Zhungeer cavalry, they were naturally panicked, and the result was a crushing defeat.Fortunately, the Zhungeers lost their impact in the process of wantonly chasing and killing the Green Banner soldiers. Therefore, after Fei Yanggu tuned in to reinforce the troops and strongly urged the two Mongolian cavalry to join the battle, the battle situation finally stabilized.

Soon after the left-wing Zhungeer soldiers entered the Qing army, the right-wing Zhungeer army also rushed into the left wing of the Qing army. Since Zhili was located under Kangxi's nose, the general and deputy generals also used veteran generals and meritorious officials. Therefore, although the Zhili Green Camp has not fought for more than ten years, its performance is slightly better than that of the Shanxi soldiers, but it is only dragged down by the Tumed Mongolian cavalry, and it is still unable to repel the enemy in front of it.

The Qing army fell into a bitter battle on the two wings, but fought vigorously on the central front.On the one hand, there are many Qing soldiers in the center, and there are few Zhungeer soldiers. On the other hand, the essence of the Qing army is also known on the central front --- this is not to say how capable the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade are, but the firearms they are equipped with. And the armor he is wearing is really excellent, and it is also the top in the country. In addition, the garrison flag soldiers under the command of the three generals in the Northeast also have experience in fighting the Raksha devils, so they can deal with Zhungeer's containment troops. Handy.

Seeing that the Zhungeer cavalry who rushed up were driven back by the Banners with guns, and also observed that the Zhungeer people still had enough reserves in the rear, Feiyang Gusizhi repeatedly decided to turn from defense to offense , Implement the tactical method of central breakthrough, so as to prevent Galdan from breaking the two wings of the Qing army first.

"King Khan, the Qing people are attacking." Seeing the Qing army in the central area rolling back, the people around Galdan became a little suspicious.

"What are you panicking," Galdan scolded. "The Qing people can repel us with cannons, and we can also repel the Qing people with cannons."

While speaking, the Zhungeer's artillery was dragged to the front of the formation.In fact, Galdan used matchlock guns very early, but due to the fear of Oros, he, like other Mongolian tribe leaders, rarely obtained such powerful weapons as cannons. He still spent a lot of money on these cannons today. Got it for the price.

It's just that the superstition of artillery can't change the situation of the battle. Just as the artillery of the Qing army had no effect on the cavalry attacking at high speed before, the bombardment of the Zhungeer army at this moment can only cause a small wave in the formation of the Qing army.

Seeing that the cannon was ineffective, Galdan, who knew it was the last moment, drew out his sword and said, "Zungar warriors, follow me!"

Under the leadership of the brave Galdan, the remaining seven Zhungeer cavalry teams and the remnants of the previous three teams rushed towards the Qing army without hesitation.Tens of thousands of horseshoes rumbled, and their momentum shook the world. For a moment, the sights of the two wings of the battlefield were also projected over. Everyone knew that the final victory or defeat was here.

Facing the rapid advance of the Zhungeer army, Fei Yanggu made the most correct choice.I saw [-] cavalry troops from the Qing army formed first to meet them. Although the Eight Banners elite soldiers from the Xiaoqi Battalion and Vanguard Battalion were not as good as the Zhungeer Army in horsemanship and archery, they were wearing double cotton armor, and their defense was far superior. Therefore, although the Zhunjun did not completely block Galdan's charge, the overwhelming attack of the Zhunjun was stagnated.

Taking advantage of the deceleration of the Zhungeer cavalry, the Qing army desperately released the bird guns, and the densely packed projectiles temporarily turned the Zhungeer riders who rushed forward.However, the Zhunjun brigade finally rushed into the Qing army formation, but Galdan's efforts were declared ineffective. Due to the strength of the Qing army, the Zhunjun who lost the impact of their horses soon fell into a hard fight

At this time, Galdan had no reserve team, and Fei Yanggu, who still had enough strength, put the remaining reserve team into the central battle group in a timely manner. Therefore, although Galdan was invincible, the balance of victory and defeat was one point at a time. Qing army

What Galdan was most worried about finally happened. Xu predicted the fall of Galdan. Gradually, Khalkha Mongolian soldiers began to flee the battlefield, and the collapse gradually expanded. Later, there was an entire centurion fighting horses. And the situation of escape occurs.

"It's over." Galdan, who broke through the siege and came to a slope, had no time to let the horse under his crotch pant, and saw this scene of liver and gallbladder tearing, and he muttered in despair. "It's all over now."

"It's not over," the guard at the side knocked out the khan of the Eastern Junggar Empire. "Take King Khan away quickly, and return to Kobduo, there is still a chance to make a comeback"

The guards who broke out took Galdan away, and also took away the last ray of hope for the Jungar Army to win
