New Shun 1730

The death of Xiaoce Lingdunduobu in the battle completely destroyed the cavalry that attacked the central army.

However, there was no place to escape. There was dense gunfire all around, and there were square formations all around as far as the naked eye could see.

I don't know who shouted in Mongolian the news that Xiao Ce Lingdun Dobu was killed in battle, just like the headless cavalry flies stuck in the gaps of the phalanx when the sea ebbs.

On the hill, the dynamics of the battlefield were completely reflected in Liu Yu's eyes.

The counterattack on the southern front has already begun. The light cavalry led by Jiao Laobutu attacked the cavalry of the quasi-bunk from the side and lost its impact. The cavalry of the quasi-bunk retreated.

The two battalions formed in square formation quickly converted into columns, followed the cavalry and charged forward at full speed, directly inserting into the flank of the quasi-army.

After a round of salvo fire, the three battalions on the front line began a counterattack pursuit, driving away the retreating enemy infantry like sheep.

The two supporting battalions also used the tactics of column attack, inserted along the gap, and quickly expanded into a horizontal formation, completely dividing the southern wing of the quasi-quarters.

The more than 4,000 quasi-cavalrymen of the Chinese army had no command and were scurrying around in the seven square formations like headless flies.

The confident infantry fired at the fastest rate and kept throwing lead bullets at the scurrying cavalry. Even if they escaped now, there was a question of how far they could get out.

On the northern front, all the reserve columns gathered by Liu Yu attacked. The grenadiers who were best at hand-to-hand combat did not throw grenades. Instead, they marched in formation for forty steps and launched the impact with a single salvo.

The rest of the line soldiers also outflanked the quasi-quarters' flanks with a march speed that the infantry phalanx had never achieved before in battle.

The north and south flanks were pinched, and the Chinese army's phalanx stuck to the last elite cavalry of the quasi-quarters. A dumpling was already wrapped.

The artillery on the hillside fired at the chaotic quasi-army at full speed, and Ling Dunduobu, the great commander, was unable to recover.

The five hundred light cavalry of the Qingzhou Army rushed along the gap opened by the grenadiers, staring at Dace Lingdun Duobu's big banner.

The light cavalry of Jiao Lao Butu also knew what the big banner meant, and carried forward the good tradition of "fighting against the wind to win the head, I am the fastest, don't talk to me about how to cooperate with riding and riding." The big banner of Lingdunduobu is pressed against the big policy.

The last two battalions of the Chinese army have disbanded their phalanx and are moving forward. The two phalanxes in front that were hit the hardest did not collapse and still maintained their organizational structure.

Victory or defeat only depends on this short quarter of an hour.

The subsequent battles were nothing more than boring chases. The cavalry, which has already become red-blooded and eager to take credit, will not give the quasi-unit a chance to regroup.

Liu Yu shouted, and the adjutant poured two glasses of wine.

The adjutant gave a cup to Boris, the Russian envoy next to him.

"Mr. Boris, let's drink to the future carving up of Central Asia between China and Russia. I hope you will not make unwise moves on the Irtysh River."

Boris, who witnessed the end of this battle so easily, also smiled, touched Liu Yu and said: "General, congratulations on your victory. Your victory proves one thing: apart from the desert, snowy mountains and hunger, you There are no more enemies here."

With a smile on his face and a bitter drink in his heart, Boris knew that Russia must give in in the upcoming border negotiations.

Otherwise, the person in front of him who knows the situation in Europe well will definitely take advantage of the Russian-Turkish war to get what he wants on the negotiation table.

Russia has no such infantry.

Perhaps the horizontal formations are not inferior in shooting, but the Russian army does not have such speed of formation changes and rapid marching capabilities.

In less than ten years, Dashun may have an army of 100,000 or even 200,000.

The logistical capabilities and wealth that Dashun has shown have shocked Russia, making it clear to Boris that in the future, at least on the Central Asian issue, the title of "King of Kings" mentioned during the Selenge River quarrel , is really coming back.

Until no other country occupies India, most of the problems in Central Asia will be resolved at the negotiation table between China and Russia.

Boris knew that Dashun's artillery was never a weakness, and the cavalry included the Mongols and the light cavalry on the Songhua River, which were not a weakness either.

The biggest shortcoming in the past was the infantry, but in this battle Dashun has made up for the shortcomings of the infantry, and even left Russia far behind.

This strong drink was bitter, but I had to swallow it with a smile.

Russia can't take in anyone from the quasi-unit, at least not yet.

Russia is still at war with France for the throne of Poland, and is about to fight Türkiye again. It cannot add another huge enemy.

Perhaps, it would be a better choice to divide their respective spheres of influence on the map and carve up Central Asia.

Boris put down his wine glass, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was twelve o'clock at noon.

"General Liu, you should remember this time. The Junggar Khanate, at this moment, has become history."

"No, Mr. Boris, you should say that the Junggar rebels have been put down."

…………

The moment Ling Dunduobu, the great strategist, realized that the cavalry could not attack the central army of the Qingzhou Army, he knew that he had lost this battle.

In other words, the Junggar Khanate to which he was loyal was dead.

Everything else is meaningless. As long as this battle is not a great victory, even if there are casualties on both sides, it will be a disaster for Junggar.

The strategic intention has been exposed, the goal has not been achieved, the strategy of surviving in death has failed, and Junggar has no chance.

After this battle, there is no need to think about it. The army on the southern front will go straight to Luntai to build the city, and the army on the northern front will also cross the Altai Mountains. All the most elite headquarters pastures of the quasi-bunk have fallen.

Even if tens of thousands of remnant soldiers and herdsmen could be gathered, it would be pointless.

The infantry on the opposite side was the most terrifying infantry he had ever seen.

The super maneuverability and speed of formation changes made him feel desperate. From then on, thousands of Han troops were able to walk sideways in the valleys of the Western Regions.

Going deep alone? If you can defeat it, you will be alone and go deep. If you cannot defeat it, you will be able to bloom in the center.

Times have changed, and no Mongolian tribe can recreate the glory of Genghis Khan.

The subordinates all knew that they had failed, and someone whispered: "Withdraw. We lost."

Dace Lingdunduobu looked at the noon sun and asked: "Where can we evacuate? Where can we evacuate?"

"To the north are the castles of the Rakshasa people; to the west are the Torgut tribe and the Kazakhs. Do we want our entire family to move west to join the Torgut people? But even the Torgut tribe We are just doing things for the Russians. Can we still believe in our religion if we stay here and become Orthodox Christians when we go there?”

The sound of gunfire and shouts of killing were getting closer and closer. The infantry tactics that had never been seen before were using unprecedented charging speed to complete the outflank on both wings.

It's not that Dace Lingdunduobu had never fought against Dashun's infantry, but Dashun's infantry advanced very slowly, and there was no chance of outflanking them.

The arquebusier cannot act alone and must wait for the spearmen to cover behind him. The spearmen must form a formation and cannot rush randomly. Even if there is a gap, by the time the phalanx moves over, the fighter planes will be gone.

In previous battles with Dashun, Dashun relied on forming a formation to withstand it, and the musketeers and artillery fired fiercely. After blasting a gap, they rushed in through the gap with armor, heavy footwork or light cavalry.

Most of the time it was a rout.

But the infantry in front of them walked much faster than the spear formation. They lined up in a line of twenty-five or six people wide, and they were much faster than the line of arquebusiers.

After finding a gap, they quickly form a horizontal line, and after a volley, they rush forward like herding sheep; or they do not form a column at all, and after the front row fires a volley, they charge, rush out of the gap, and then form a line.

Then he played the flute and suona, beat the waist drum, and stepped forward.

There is no way to break such a rigid tactic.

Both wings have collapsed. Ling Dunduobu, the great strategist, really didn't expect that the tactics of outflanking could be carried out by relying on infantry. He thought that there were not many cavalry of the Han army on the opposite side, and at most it would be a rout.

In the distance, the Han cavalry was already rushing towards this side. If they didn't leave, they would have no chance.

The front line collapsed completely. The shaken soldiers fled back crazily, and the riders fled back in groups. There were only more than 2,000 people left by Dace Lingdun Dobu.

Those musketeers were no match for the Han army's musketeers. Without the cover of cavalry and infantry, the arquebusiers were just a bunch of sheep.

All is lost.

Dace Lingdunduobu sighed and said to his subordinates and the various tribes Taiji and Zaisang: "You go. I want to find a way to survive for our people. You go."

No one questions the courage of Dace Lingdun Duobu, and no one questions his loyalty, but the way to survive...the way to survive for the tribe, what does it mean?

"Let's go. You can retreat. Go to the Great Khan and gather the remaining soldiers."

"What about you?"

Dace Lingdun Duobu didn't say anything. He asked someone to support him, closed his eyes, and said firmly and helplessly: "Find a way to survive for our people. Let's go to Shannan and return to Yili."

The others knew that if they didn't leave, it would be too late.

Although they didn't know what Lingdun Dobu, their respected great strategist, was going to do, they still followed his order and withdrew all the troops that could be assembled.

There were only more than 200 personal cavalry left around Dagu.

The Han cavalry who were trying to steal the credit rushed towards Da Ba's position like crazy. The followers formed the final formation and fought back several waves of light cavalry who were coming to take the credit.

In the distance, a group of cavalry was gathering there, recruiting more cavalry who had rushed towards them. The man at the head was wearing armor worn only by generals. Dace Lingdunduobu saw that the man was very brave. He had just killed three cavalrymen by himself.

The last two hundred followers were not afraid of more and more enemies, and wanted to follow Ling Dunduobu in the final attack.

The armored cavalryman in the distance hacked to death two more quasi-unit cavalrymen. His movements were neat and he was a brave general.

Dace Lingdunduobu looked at the distant and out-of-reach hills and did not choose the final charge. Instead, he asked someone to hold a large banner and came to the opposite side of the assembled cavalry.

The cavalry on both sides distanced themselves, as if they were going to have a final charge duel.

Dace Lingdun Dobu was convinced that there must be someone on the opposite side who could understand Mongolian. He shouted loudly: "I am Dace Lingdun Dobu, and I want to see your general Liu Yu!"

Jiao Laobutu's heart was pounding. Is this person in front of him Ling Dunduobu?

He can understand Mongolian, but he pretends not to understand at this time.

Can capturing the quasi-general have the same credit as the quasi-general taking the initiative to see the commander-in-chief?

It's the same for the general Liu Yu, but it's different for him.

He wanted to pretend that he didn't understand, but another man on the opposite side who could speak Chinese shouted: "This is Dace Lingdun Duobu, who wants to see your general Liu Yu."

Jiao Laobutu cursed secretly, he couldn't even pretend not to understand.

However, several officers of the imperial army nearby shouted: "This will definitely be a delaying strategy for the enemy! Sir, you must not believe it!"

Jiao Laobutu thought to himself, this is amazing. He had been away from Zhechongfu for so long, dealing with the people of the Yelinzi tribe who sell leather all day, and he had even forgotten such tactics.

He drew out his knife and was about to say that this was a delaying tactic of the enemy, when Daze Lingdun Duobu took the initiative to get off his horse, threw down his knife, pointed at Jiao Laobutu and said, "You are a warrior, and I am your prisoner. Take me to see your commander."
