Yang Fan came to the platform on the right side of the bridge, held the bulwark in his hands, and looked towards Hebei.
As the searchlights swept back and forth, a huge camp appeared there. Countless cavalrymen ran around in panic, trying to avoid the searchlight beams.
In their minds, they could not understand how something could be so bright at night. The horses were frightened. They screamed and ran around. The knights whipped them hard to no avail. Some people even stood up and knocked the knight off his feet.
Get off your horse.
However, there was also fire in the darkness and a loud noise.
As the searchlight swept, it finally focused there. Under the strong light beam, Yang Fan clearly saw a large number of camels. Small artillery and heavy matchlock guns were installed on the carriages of these camels.
The sound he heard was that these weapons were firing at the ship.
However, because of night flights in war zones, there are light control regulations.
Apart from the searchlight, it is difficult to see the outline of the hull in the distance.
The range of their weapons is not far enough. The camel cannon only has a range of more than 300 meters. The maximum range of the matchlock gun is also about this distance, but the bullets drift to nowhere. The effective range of the heavy matchlock gun does not exceed 150 meters.
The muskets equipped by the Central Asian camel cavalry are somewhat similar to the Japanese large guns.
They are those modified large-caliber matchlock guns. The calibers of these guns are mostly in the range of thirty to forty millimeters. They can fire both solid bullets and shotguns. They do have a great advantage against ordinary infantry and cavalry.
Even though the performance is not as good as Yang Fan's smoothbore gun, the huge number makes up for the lack of performance.
"These are Junggar people. I didn't expect so many people to come." A voice sounded from behind.
Yang Fan looked back and saw that it was Zhang Wudian and Huo. Zhang Fengyi also heard the gunfire and came over.
"Mr. Zhang, it's very dangerous here. You'd better go back to the cabin first. I'll tell you the situation after everything is done."
"Humph, I am also an old soldier and have been fighting for half my life. This point battle is nothing." Zhang Wudian looked into the distance with contempt and said disapprovingly.
Huo and Zhang Fengyi looked a little out of place with bows and arrows on their backs.
None of the sailors are good at archery. They usually neither equip nor train with this skill.
Cold weapons have basically been completely eliminated except for bayonets. In Yang Fan's system, the navy is obviously more complete with firearms than the army.
Yang Fan said: "Fortunately, I came out to take a look, otherwise I would have thought that only the Heshuo Special Forces had arrived. The Junggar people are indeed the old foundation of Oara, and they look very strong."
"Yes, it is the direct inheritance of the Cholos family. The centipede insect is dead but not stiff. Although it has been suppressed by the Heshuote people in recent years, it is still very powerful."
"With this strength, I think the Heshuote people can hardly hold them back."
Desert Mongolia is also called Walat, Oirat, and Erut. There are four major tribes: the Hoshuote Tribe, the Junggar Tribe, the Torgut Tribe, and the Durbot Tribe.
After Yesian's death, Wala declined and was forced to move westward to northern Central Asia and southern Central Siberia. When Asa, the fourth grandson of Yesian, came to the throne, the Choros family finally split.
Keshe's younger brother Aligudo led his own tribe, which was the Dulbert tribe, and the one led by Asha was the Junggar tribe. Therefore, the Dulbert and Junggar tribes share the same origin.
Durbol was in the far west, avoiding the attacks of Khalkha and Tumut. Coupled with the continuous appearance of British masters, especially the wise leadership of Dalai Tushe, Durbol was already very powerful at this time.
The Junggar tribe also had strong troops and horses under the leadership of Harahu La and Batur Hutaiji and his son, which gradually shook the original balance of Oirat.
Under this situation, under the pressure of Yexian's direct descendants, Durbot and Junggar people, Turgut's survival gradually became difficult.
The Junggar tribe also had strong troops and horses under the leadership of Harahu La and Batur Hutaiji and his son, which gradually shook the original balance of Oirat.
In 1628, the Torgut tribe moved westward to the Volga River under the leadership of Orluk. The Kalmyk Khanate was established on the Volga River and the Ural and downstream, and the Crimean Khanate in the east of Ukraine became at the same time.
The last Mongol khanate in Europe.
In the original history, the re-emergence of Ye Xian's descendants profoundly changed the composition of the Mongolian territory in Central Asia in later generations.
1637 was a special year. In this year, the Heshuote people were forced into Qinghai and then controlled the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Gushi Khan established the Snow Kingdom Dynasty.
In the same year, the coexistence of the four tribes in the Tianshan grassland collapsed, and the Junggar family became the dominant one, making great strides towards the establishment of a khanate.
At this time, the leader of the Dulbert tribe, Dalai Taishi, was already old.
Facing the aggressive Junggar, he became increasingly powerless. In his last years in Dalai Taish, in order to get rid of the threat of Junggar, he once led his troops to march north, hoping to find new nomadic lands like Torgut.
Unfortunately, several efforts have come to naught due to Russian attacks.
In 1637, Dalai Lama died of illness due to worries.
After his death, Durbor fell into a war among his rivals for territory and completely declined. In the end, the Heshuote tribe in Qinghai and the Junggar people in Xinjiang became strong opponents of the Qing Dynasty.
The one Nian Gengyao beat, such as Norbu Zang Tenzin, was the monarch of the country established by the Heshuote people in Qinghai and Tibet.
The Junggars became a big trouble for Kangxi. They once unified eastern Central Asia, the entire Xinjiang, southern Central Siberia, and even most of Outer Mongolia and Monan Mongolia.
At that time, the territory of the Junggar people had exceeded that of the Qing Dynasty, and their military power was strong.
The battlefield of the Battle of Ulan Butong was just 200 miles north of Chengde Summer Resort. At that time, if Galdan could not be defeated, not only Mongolia would not be saved, but Manchuria might also be lost.
If Galdan unified the north of the Great Wall, the Qing Dynasty would once again be in the same situation as the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Fan looked at the camel cannons that kept firing and made a mental calculation. After a while, he could see that there were at least two thousand camel cannons and heavy matchlock guns.
Yang Fan was silent in his heart, Central Asia was the place of the Fourth War, and it was also the central area of the Eurasian continent. All kinds of advanced weapons and technologies would be integrated here.
He also did not expect that Mongolia in the desert would have so many firearms. But it was a good thing, because they were located inland and did not have heavy artillery, otherwise the situation in the Beijing camp would be even more difficult.
This is the current situation. With the Mongolians in the desert having a numerical advantage and having such a large number of firearms, the Jing camp, which mainly uses cold weapons, would be looking for death if they went out.
It seems that the best way is to stick to it. By the way, it is better to harass them with gunboats so that they have to defend everywhere and disperse their troops. The coat is a half-moon-shaped grassland, where the crescent is the Yellow River. Yang Fan uses steam to
The ship can land at any point.
As long as Jiuyuan City is defended as a built city, and at the same time constantly harassed them with steamships, forcing them to divide their forces for defense, the pressure on Jiuyuan City can be greatly reduced.
It seems that if we want to defeat Mongolia in the desert, the Beijing camp is not enough. Unless we use the cavalry army that is ready to attack the Great Lakes Plain of Khalkha. Otherwise, the Beijing camp and the regiment training have no advantage in firearms, and they will be beaten to death.
Looking at the trumpet shells flying continuously, Yang Fan said to Huang Hao: "Don't pay attention to them, move forward at full speed, we will go directly to Linhe City to set fire to them."
