"Da~da~da~"
The war horses kicked up sand and dust, and three thousand riders galloped towards Altay. In the center of the team, two middle-aged generals were chatting while riding their horses.
"Brother Run, why do you make the soldiers work so hard day and night? Isn't it too hard?" the older general asked the younger one in confusion.
"Brother Hong, I'm worried. I'm afraid that if I leave too late, my military exploits will be lost to others. How can I restore the honor of my family?" the younger general said anxiously.
They are members of the Zu clan in Liaodong, one named Zu Zerun and the other named Zu Zehong. After the Zu brothers returned to the Ming Dynasty on the battlefield, they were appointed deputy generals by Zhu Hengjia.
The ancestors of the Liaodong family were famous for generations of generals. They were awarded memorial arches by Emperor Chongzhen. Unexpectedly, Zu Dashou was forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. From then on, Zu Dashou’s descendants wore the label of traitor on their foreheads. Before Zu Dashou died,
The scene that made people cover their faces with white cloth and say that they had no face to see the late emperor deeply shocked the hearts of the ancestors and family.
Zhu Hengjia is a time traveler, so he naturally knows how powerful Galdan was in history, and he does not dare to despise him just because he is young. After thinking about it, he feels that the Ming army on the northern front is still too weak to deal with this kind of hero. Big pen
With a wave of his hand, the Zu brothers were transferred from Liaodong to Junggar and placed under the control of Li Rubi.
The two men did not have many soldiers and horses, only three thousand, but most of them were the old soldiers of the ancestors. They were the elites of the Han banner during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. They had participated in many battles in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and their combat power was very strong.
Hearing Zu Zerun say that he should rush to the battlefield as soon as possible and make military exploits in order to restore the reputation of the Zu family, Zu Zehong nodded repeatedly, "Brother Run said that the shame of the Zu family can only be washed away by more military exploits.
Speed up and join the war as soon as possible.
"Pass on my general's order, the men will not take off their armor, the horses will not leave their saddles, and they will gallop day and night to Altay," Zu Zerun ordered.
"Reporting to the deputy general, there are sounds of fighting in the Kuitun Peak area of the Altai Mountains. It has been found that Galdan, the leader of the Junggar captives, is attacking Commander Li Rubi."
"Well, where is Galdan? How many soldiers and horses does the enemy have? Let's check again." Zu Zerun was overjoyed. He didn't expect that as soon as he arrived near Altay, he made a profit and caught up with the war.
The detective horse then reported again: "Report to the deputy Rong, there are about 30,000 enemies, and they have surrounded Li Shuai on Kuitun Peak."
"More than 30,000 people! Brother Run, this battle is not easy to fight!" Zu Zehong was a little worried when he saw the large number of Junggar troops.
"It doesn't matter, the art of war says: 'Attack an unprepared enemy and take it by surprise.' Even though there are many enemies, they don't know the news of our army's arrival, so we just take advantage of the situation to attack them."
"Brother Run, shall our army attack now to rescue Li Shuai?"
Zu Zerun shook his head and said, "There is no rush. Wait until dusk is approaching and the Junggar people are tired before taking action."
Three thousand elite cavalry lurked in the mountains and forests like cheetahs, quietly waiting for the general's military orders. They were well-trained elite soldiers, and there was no sound at all.
"Woo~woo~woo~"
The Junggar army blew the horn to retreat, and the generals Hashike and Danzila galloped to the Galdan horse angrily, "Huitaiji, please give me one more hour, and I will definitely capture Kuitun Peak.
I’ll take Li Rubi’s head and offer it to you.”
Galdan smiled slightly and said, "It's almost dusk. The two generals are tired from fighting for a long time. Let's rest for one night and attack the mountain again tomorrow. This mountain will be broken tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
The Junggar troops who attacked the mountain returned to camp one after another, and the tight strings began to loosen, replaced by the fatigue of a half-day battle.
Zu Zerun moved and the cheetah attacked. He chose the best time to attack and struck a fatal blow.
"Kill~kill~kill~"
Three thousand cavalry, like sharp arrows drawn from the string, went straight to Galdan's Chinese army tent.
"Quick, form a formation! Stop them!" Galdan roared angrily.
The Junggar troops in the camp wanted to form a formation to fight, but the Junggar troops who attacked the mountain were returning to the camp one after another, disrupting their own formation.
Even before the camp gate could be closed, the Zu brothers had already arrived.
The three thousand cavalrymen first fired a round of three-eyed muskets, shooting down the Dzungar army in front of them, then put on their swords and guns and galloped into the camp to kill them.
Three thousand fierce tigers eat everyone they see, washing away their own shame with the blood of the enemy. At this moment, they are no longer the Eight Banners Han Army dragging their tails of money and making the people of Yan and Huang feel ashamed, but the key to the Ming Dynasty.
Ning Tieqi.
Zu Zehong was in a daze, recalling the years when he followed his uncle Zu Dashou to fight the Manchu Tatars.
Zu Zerun didn't think too much. The spear in his hand stabbed as fast as flying. He had superb marksmanship, and his moves were like ghosts, killing dozens of people in a row.
"Damn it!"
A strong man like an iron tower blocked Zu Zerun's way, and a heavy axe, as heavy as Mount Tai, came over. Ha Shiq, the "enemy of ten thousand people" in the Junggar army, vowed to take his life.
p>
What a good Zu Zerun, with a flick of the gun and a series of false moves, which dazzled Haskeh. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he shot like a poisonous snake spitting out a message, hitting the throat right in the throat.
The Junggar army was already in a panic, but they lost another strong general and became even more chaotic.
"The number of enemies is not large, Mahan, Omubu, you two quickly lead the army to intercept them." Galdan, a great hero of the generation, was not willing to admit defeat easily and issued a military order.
The two generals took the order and left. The Ming army suddenly set fire to the camp again, and for a while the flames shot into the sky.
Galdan became increasingly angry. This hero showed amazing courage and perseverance. Even though the Ming army had rushed dozens of steps away from him, he ordered the flag officer to guard the Chinese army's banner and not retreat even half a step.
The arrogant and arrogant Huetai Ji Dajun gave the Junggar army great encouragement, and they all moved closer to Galdan's Dabu and fought against the Ming army.
"Commander, reinforcements are coming!"
On Kuitun Peak, Li Rubi's eyes were like lightning, staring at the battle at the bottom of the mountain.
"Are reinforcements coming? Is it another trick of the Dzungars?"
He looked at his subordinates on the mountain. Most of them were injured and looked dull. With this look, Kuitun Peak would not be able to defend it until tomorrow at most.
Li Rubi gritted her teeth, "Everyone on the left and right is dead. Even if it's a trick by the barbarians, I, Old Li, will fight with them! Pass my commander's military orders, and those who can move will follow me down the mountain to kill the enemy!"
Li Rubi led the Ming army on Kuitun Peak, and the entire army attacked the Junggar army camp.
The last straw that broke the camel's back appeared.
The Junggar army, which had been thrown into chaos by the sudden attack by the Ming army and had poor coordination, could not withstand the attack from both sides and became increasingly panicked until it collapsed.
Generals Li Rubi, Lin Junqi, Dunbai, Hoda, Tubaseleng, and Dazhamusu galloped into the enemy's stronghold and killed the Junggar army until their corpses were scattered all over the field.
"Huntaiji, the situation is over! Please retreat quickly, before the rear is about to be cut off," Du Lale shouted.
Galdan nodded, held back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, and issued the military order to retreat.
He didn't have time to remove his banner, as the Ming army was already killing him, so he had no choice but to lead his bodyguard and flee.
"Bah~bah~bah~"
Hearing the continuous sound of gunfire, Galdan turned around and glanced back. He did not see Du Lale, but only saw a vigorous Ming army sergeant who cut off his large banner with a knife. He was heartbroken and urged his horse to gallop.
And go.
The large banner of the Junggar army fell down near Dural's body not far away. This Heshuoqi (Qianhu) was riddled with bullets all over his body.
I believe in loyalty and righteousness throughout my life, and I will eventually die to repay the king of Khan.
