On April 1, the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty, the Battle of Chalishi began.
The Ming army's Chen Bao, Hu Guozhu, Wu Guogui and Yang Guanglie crossed the Haidu River in small boats and bamboo rafts.
Junggar Zaisangdai Batur personally led the army to defend. The rumbling sound of artillery was deafening, and shells, arrows, and blunderbuss fell like raindrops. Soldiers continued to fall into the river, and those who washed up on the bank braved the blunderbuss and arrows to advance.<
/p>
The rolling torrent met the waiting defenders. The two armies fought together, and the water of Haidu River was red.
The battle was fierce, but it was just a feint attack by the Ming army.
Li Chengjue ordered his army to forcefully cross the Haidu River just to attract the attention of the defenders, but secretly ordered Peng Mingyang and Da Yuanzhen to lead 5,000 elite troops to sneak across Bosten Lake and surprise Chali and lose the city.
Just as Peng Mingyang was about to board the boat, Gu Yanwu rushed over and said, "Headquarters, I am requesting to be the vanguard!"
"Mr. Ning Ren, it is too dangerous to be a vanguard. You should stay in the central army and follow my commander to kill the enemy." Gu Yanwu was a great scholar, and Peng Mingyang cherished his talent and was unwilling to let him take risks.
"Headquarters, the former rotten scholar Gu Yanwu is dead long ago. Standing in front of you is the Ming guerrilla general Gu Yanwu. Please let the last general go."
Da Yuanzhensu had a good relationship with Gu Yanwu, felt his sincerity, and advised him: "Commander, Ning Ren is a military commander, and it is his duty to wrap his body in horse leather. Please help him."
Seeing that he couldn't resist, Peng Mingyang had no choice but to agree and patted Gu Yanwu on the shoulder, "Ning Ren, you must be careful."
Gu Yanwu led 700 of his men and took the lead in crossing to the west bank of Bosten Lake in a small boat.
Suddenly it was windy and rainy, and the sky was dark. The Ming army lay down on the boat and paddled away.
The landing was successful without any danger, and the heavy wind and rain effectively obscured the Ming army's whereabouts. The hundreds of defenders by the lake were unaware of it.
"Soldiers, follow me and kill!"
Gu Yanwu pulled out his sword and was the first to rush towards the enemy, skillfully cutting down the Junggar soldiers one by one. This was not the first time he had done this kind of killing. He had changed since his old friend returned to the village and died in his arms.
Became a qualified military commander.
The Junggar people were stunned by the sudden attack and fled in all directions.
Gu Yanwu left fifty men behind to guide the army to land, and led more than six hundred men straight to the lost city of Chali.
The rain was still falling and visibility was poor. The Ming army wore bamboo hats and ponchos and quietly erected a long ladder.
Gu Yanwu gritted his teeth, held a sharp knife in his mouth, and climbed up with both hands. Seeing how brave the guerrilla general was, his subordinates all took courage and climbed onto the city one after another.
"Enemy, enemy attack!"
As soon as an old soldier screamed in horror, his neck came into close contact with Gu Yanwu's Yanling Saber, and blood spattered out in a bright red color.
The main force of Junggar was attracted to the Haidu River. There were only 500 defenders in the city, and they were quickly dispersed by the Ming army.
"Zaisang, it's not good. The Ming army has captured the lost city of Chali and is coming from behind our army." By the Haidu River, Dai Batur was commanding his men to fight a fierce battle with the Ming army. Hearing the bad news, he was struck by lightning.
.
"Quick, retreat north." After all, he was a veteran on the battlefield. He quickly calmed down and ordered a retreat.
At this time, the two armies were fighting together on the river bank, and it was not easy to retreat.
Peng Mingyang and Da Yuanzhen's elite troops arrived and dealt a fatal blow to the defenders. The defense line quickly collapsed and soldiers were defeated everywhere.
Dai Batur was surrounded by the Ming army in the reeds by the river. They rushed from left to right and were unable to break out.
"Huntaiji, forgive me for not being loyal to my slaves." He pulled out his sword and committed suicide by the Haidu River.
When the trumpet of victory sounded, Gu Yanwu's heart surged, and he wrote the words "Sauvignon Blanc: Throwing a Pen and Joining the Army":
Lost the pen,
Mo Yidi,
Write a tour of the Rong army battlefield.
Why is there any sorrow?
Love stays forever,
Hate to stay forever,
Only after all the Hu chieftains have been wiped out can we rest.
Rivers flow forever.
??
The Ming army marching north was fighting fiercely, and the Ming army marching west was not idle either.
Yang Qiaoran, the governor of Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan, issued military orders almost every three days, urging generals Wang Guoxun, Zhang Guozhu and Ren Liang to quickly capture Turpan.
In the Battle of Hami, Ren Liang's troops suffered heavy casualties. Although they recruited some new soldiers, their combat strength was not fully restored.
Wang Guoxun and Zhang Guozhu led 12,000 soldiers and horses in advance, and Liang's 5,000 soldiers and horses followed.
The Ming army's attack went smoothly.
After Mahan was transferred to Boxer by Galdan to fight against Chuhu'er Ubas, Turpan garrison Gelong Alarbai and Abaha changed Mahan's tactics of relying on the Flame Mountain and the Hanhai Desert to stagnate the Ming army.
Abandoned the desert area and defended the city.
The Ming army was able to easily cross the desert and enter the Turpan Oasis. Food and water supplies became abundant, and morale also increased.
On March 26, the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty, the first battle of Liucheng was fought. The defender Abaha resisted desperately, and the Ming army climbed the city wall several times and was driven down again.
"Concentrate artillery fire to bombard the east city," Wang Guoxun shouted.
More than a hundred artillery pieces, large and small, were concentrated on the east city. "Boom~boom~boom~" dense artillery shells were fired at the city wall, making big holes.
In the early morning of March 30, veteran Sun Erzhu was carrying an artillery shell and preparing to load it, when there was a huge muffled sound and smoke billowing.
Sun Erzhu called out strangely, "What's going on? I haven't fired the cannon here yet." Then his eyes widened. When the smoke cleared, he found that a section of the city wall was missing.
"The city is broken!"
The Ming army roared and poured into the city. Seeing that the momentum was not right, Abaha opened the north city gate and fled.
On the morning of April 3, as soon as he fled to Huozhou, the Ming army caught up with him in the afternoon, and the Battle of Huozhou began.
One side won the battle and had high morale; the other side suffered a defeat and the morale of the army was unstable. The outcome of this battle was already determined. After only one day of defense, Abaha had no choice but to flee to Turpan City.
On April 9, the Ming army pursued him to the city.
The person guarding Turpan City is Dzunghar Noyangelong Ala'erbai.
Noyan, also known as Nayan, is the title of Mongolian nobles. There are many levels, including "Alban Noyan" (ten households), "Zhawen Noyan" (hundred households), and "Minhan Noyan" (thousand households)
.
This Gelung Alarbai is Minhan Noyan, who is considered a big noble and has two Otok territories. Otok, like Aimak, is part of the Ulus territory of the Mongolian Khan King, and the entire Junggar
Only a few dozen.
The two Otuokes worshiped by Gelong Alar were very large, with more than 3,000 "Ayinle" (herdsmen) households, and could recruit up to 5,000 soldiers. They were very powerful, so Galdan also respected them three times.
points.

This man is not only strong in strength, but also brave in combat. He holds a sixty-pound mace and is unstoppable.
Seeing that Abaha was defeated and fled back to Turpan, Gelong Alar worshiped the fire and said, "You useless trash, just defend the city until I come out to fight."
He was not a fool, and he could see the weakness of the Ming army at a glance: Ren Liangbu on the right wing. After the bloody battle in Hami, Ren Liangbu lost a large number of veterans. There were too many recruits in the army and insufficient training. Therefore, the military formation
Not neat.
Gelong Alarbai led his army and rushed to Renliang's department.
"Array up, shoot!"
Seeing the ferocity of its approach, Ren Liang ordered him to shoot.
The Junggar Army has always paid attention to the coordination of infantry and cavalry, and there are many firearms in the army.
The two sides first exchanged artillery fire, then arrows and bullets flew together, and then they engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
During the fierce battle, Ren Liang's weakness in lack of training was exposed, and the military formation gradually fell into disarray.
Saihan, the head of forty households in Junggar Demuqi, saw the opportunity and led more than a hundred soldiers into the Ming formation. The Ming army guerrillas attacked Bashan Tiger, but was chopped down by Saihan's big axe.
Gabiya, Shurang'e (head of twenty households) of Junggar, was very fierce. He led a team of thirty-five people and galloped through the Ming formation, killing dozens of people.
"What a Xilu!"
Ren Guoji, a guerrilla of the Ming army, gave a shout of praise, took out his recurved bow, shot an arrow, and fell down with the sound.
"Hahaha!"
Ren Guoji laughed loudly, and his voice suddenly stopped. Junggar Demuzhilelqin galloped to his horse and cut it in two with a knife.
"Second brother!"
Ren Guoxuan on the side screamed sadly and faced Erelqin, fighting to the death.
Gelong Alarbai's army moved, as fierce as a tiger, and vowed to defeat Ren Liang's tribe before the Ming army's left wing and center army arrived to rescue them.
"Brother, brothers, we can't stand it any longer, please withdraw." Wang Jinying and Guo Yan stumbled to find Ren Liang.
"Retreat? Marshal Wang, General Zhang is watching nearby, I can't afford to lose this person." Ren Liang pulled out his sword, without even looking at the two of them, and led his bodyguard to rush towards Gelong Ala'er to worship.
p>
Wang Jinying and Guo Yan stamped their feet and had no choice but to turn around and follow Ren Liang to death.
The battle was fierce. Ming generals Guo Yan and Ren Guoqi died in the battle. Ren Liang's troops suffered huge casualties and delayed the Junggar army for another hour.
Wang Guoxun and Zhang Guozhu arrived and surrounded Gelong Alaerbai, who was in a state of death.
Only then did Gelong Ala'erbai realize that something was wrong and "retreat quickly", he issued a military order.
But they found that the enemy was heavy. Wang Guoxun and Zhang Guozhu's subordinates were all veterans, and the army was in a tight formation. The always brave Gelong Ala'erbai couldn't break out.
"Bang!"
With a gunshot, Saihan turned over and fell from his horse.
"Noyan, the last general will clear the way. You should follow the last general and kill him quickly," Erelqin shouted, leading two hundred horsemen to open the way regardless of their own lives. Gelong Alarbai led his bodyguards to follow.
Erelqin's two hundred cavalry suffered all casualties, and he himself was killed, finally opening a way out for Gelong Ala'erbai.
Gelong Alarba did not dare to fight anymore and hurriedly returned to the city.
Zhang Guozhu led 500 cavalry in hot pursuit. After the Battle of Hami, he was promoted from the deputy general of Maozhou to the commander-in-chief of Maozhou due to his merit. It was a time when he was in high spirits.
Gelong Alarba had just fled back to the city. Before the city gate could be closed, Zhang Guozhu had already killed him, seized the city gate, and led his troops into the city.
The Dzungarian army was in chaos, with troops and horses running wildly, and countless people died. The commander-in-chief Gelong Ala'erbai also died in the chaos.
"The situation is over!"
Abaha looked at the Ming troops swarming in, sighed, and ordered to surrender.
After Wang Guoxun captured Turpan City, Li Chengjue also led his army to arrive from Chalishi. The two Ming armies successfully joined forces and prepared to join forces and attack Junggar.
