Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1070
The [-] Qing army cavalry divided into three groups and swept along the Irtysh River and Ulungu River at the southern foot of the Altai Mountains to sweep Zhungeer's pastures.

The Qing army's iron cavalry was in the front, followed by the Mongolian tribes who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and divided the population and pastures of Zhungeer, while the Qing Dynasty obtained millions of cattle, sheep and horses.

The pasture next to Ulungu Lake is the horse herding place of Baturhui, which is equivalent to the royal court of Western Mongolia.

Tens of thousands of tents are distributed around Ulungu Lake. At the entrance where the Ulungu River flows into Ulungu Lake, there is a large tent covering an area of ​​three acres, like a huge white bag sitting on the grassland. It is Baturhui's alliance account.

After Baturhun's expedition, the affairs of the headquarters were handed over to his closest brother Churos Chuhuerubash to manage the affairs of the headquarters.

The Qing army rushed to Zhungeer, attacking and destroying the tribes who surrendered to Zhungeer all the way, and the headquarters naturally received the news.

In the face of the attack of the Qing army, Zhungeer made the best of his troops, and Choros Chuhuerubashji knew that the headquarters could not resist. Fortunately, the nomads did not turn to farming. , you can migrate.

With such a vast grassland, it was not easy for the Qing army to find them.

In the camp, a few fast horses ran out quickly to inform the Zhungeer troops who were walking outside to move westward, temporarily avoiding the sharp edge of the Qing army. The migrants came back and took back the pastures.

Of course, in addition to notifying all the ministries to move westward, Choros Chuhuerubash and naturally dispatched cavalry to report to Baturhui, informing the Manchus to raid Moxi and let the army rush to rescue.

At this time, there was chaos in the headquarters camp. The herdsmen were rushing to dismantle tents and fences, drive cattle and sheep, and prepare to retreat westward. With cattle and sheep.

After Churos Chuhuer Ubash settled his wives and sons, and Baturhun's family members, he rode a horse and stationed in the camp, followed by more than a dozen guards. Looking at the chaotic camp, looking at the camp full of cattle and sheep, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Let the herdsmen move faster, don't dawdle, the Qing army may kill them at any time!" Choros Chuhuerubashji said to the guards, waving his horsewhip.

After hearing this, the guards behind him immediately twitched their horses' buttocks and went to urge them, but at this moment, a group of cavalry rushed into the camp, frightened the cattle and sheep, and galloped directly to Choros Chuhueruba Shi Ji stood in front of him, then got off his horse, clenched his fist and beat his chest, and said anxiously: "Boss, the Qing army is coming, it's just ten miles away."

Choros Chuhuerubashji's face changed greatly in shock, the Qing army came so fast!

Daishan divided his troops into three groups, and just went ahead to mop up the defeated Zhungeer tribes. Naturally, the Mongolian tribes who followed him came to accept them. The Qing army did not need to clean up the battlefield, and the speed was naturally like a whirlwind.

At this moment, Choros Chuhuer Ubashiji hurriedly ordered the troops to leave quickly, and gave up all that could not be taken away. He led the cavalry to gallop out of the camp, looked in front of him, and he heard the sound of hooves coming. Hearing that there were at least tens of thousands of cavalry, his face suddenly became frightened.

"Let's go!" Choros Chuhuerubashji urged the horses to go quickly as soon as he pulled the reins.

The sound of hooves rumbled from the east, and all the people in the headquarters felt the earth shaking. People, horses, cattle and sheep all panicked and hurried to the west.

The herdsmen brought their families to drive the cattle and sheep, so they were naturally unhappy.

Seeing this, Choros Chuhuerubashji hurriedly ordered, "Give up some cattle and sheep, let the Qing army fight for them, and then let people drive some cattle and sheep to go south."

He wanted to keep some cattle and sheep for the Qing army to plunder, delay the Qing army's time, and then create an illusion that the headquarters is going south and will join the tribes at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain, so that the Qing army does not know which direction to chase and kill.

He had a good idea, but at this moment, several cavalry behind the team came galloping, and the centurion headed by waved his whip and shouted anxiously: "Leader, hurry up, it's too late!"

Choros Chugur Ubashji heard the sound, looked back, and found that behind the migrating team, there was suddenly a thick line, and the thick line instantly turned into a colorful carpet, and then quickly divided into three parts, The carpets on the left and right sides quickly outflanked it.

Seeing this, Choros Chuhuerubashji felt cold all over. They hesitated, and even their family members ignored them. They swung their whips and urged the horses to run away.

Nearly a thousand Zhungeer men followed closely behind, and the herdsmen also tried to escape in panic. The whole team was in chaos immediately, men and women ran in a hurry, and children sat on the cart and cried loudly.

The left and right wings of the Qing army outflanked them, and the cavalry galloped and hurled arrows. The herdsmen in Zhungeer were hit by arrows one after another.

Two cavalry surrounded them and immediately surrounded the herdsmen in Zhungeer. Nearly a thousand herdsmen who wanted to escape were shot down by surveillance. Flee in the direction of escape.

The cavalry of the Qing army wanted to pursue, but were stopped by Chang Adai, "Leave them alone, sweep along the lake immediately, then turn south and head straight to the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain."

The grasslands are not as complicated as the Central Plains, the terrain is not that complicated, it is flat and flat, and it is not easy to catch up with the enemy on horseback. If you ride a horse, he will also ride a horse. It is possible to chase thousands of miles.

The task of the Qing army was to wipe out the Zhungeer tribes. Even if these people escaped, they would not be successful without their women, children, cattle and sheep.

When the tribes on the grassland were wiped out, it was difficult to block the news absolutely. Unlike in the Central Plains, blocking several city gates and setting up checkpoints at the pass might be able to block the news, but in a wilderness, it was difficult to prevent the cavalry from escaping. .

Right now, Chang Adai's task is to attack quickly before the scattered tribes can react to prevent them from escaping.

After attacking Zhungeer's headquarters, Chang Adai and another group of Qing troops swept Ulun Ancient Lake from left to right, while the other group made a sharp turn southward and rushed to the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain first, where there were still six soldiers who surrendered to Zhungeer. Thousands of accounts.

In the vast desert, the killing will continue. In the vast area from the southern foot of the Altai Mountains to the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, from time to time, you can see thousands of tents being trampled by war horses, and the white tents are covered with blood.

The heads, severed arms, and bloody limbs of old Zhungeer herdsmen were scattered on the grassland, and the air was filled with a pungent smell. Several prairie wolves wandered outside the dilapidated camp, looking for the smell of blood.

The area controlled by Zhungeer has nearly 20 tents. Naturally, the Qing army cannot wipe out such a vast area.

Intimidated by the Qing army, some small tribes surrendered to the Manchus, and some remnants were forced to move westward.
