Cewang Alabutan can force Galdan to death and ascend to the throne of Junggar. How can we underestimate him?
The heroes these days, including Yuzhu, are all cruel and vicious people.
More than a thousand of the cavalrymen stationed in the Eight Banners in Xi'an died, and Yuzhu didn't even bat an eyelid.
After defeating Xiao Celing who was blocking the way, Yuzhu led his troops and continued to march towards Ili with Cewang Arabtan's army.
Yili is the real hometown of the Junggar people.
Once Yili is captured by Yuzhu, hey, the losses to the Junggar people will be completely immeasurable, and it will definitely shake the foundation of the entire region's rule.
However, God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. While Yuzhu was still lying tall and graceful, the first snowfall in the Junggar Basin came unexpectedly.
The weather became extremely bad. Yuzhu had to give up the idea of going to Yili.
What is difficult for modern people to understand is that in winter operations in this era, people can wear more clothes, sleep in tents at night, and light fires without fear of freezing to death, but livestock cannot stand the low temperature in the middle of the night in the cold winter.
The livestock are frozen to death. How to transport grain and bacon?
The snowstorm lasted for three days and finally stopped.
Yuzhu sent out the cavalry sentries of the Eight Banners, looking for Xiao Celing's remaining troops.
Xiao Celing was extremely familiar with the terrain of the Junggar Basin. Yuzhu's people searched for three days before they found traces of the Junggar people in a valley.
After Yuzhu learned about it*, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, let's wait until they are hungry and cold for a few more days, and then we can pick up the ready-made bargains."
Xiao Celing was actually an abandoned son. The 10,000 Junggar people he brought did not have much food or supplies to keep out the cold.
Like a very patient hunter, Yuzhu waited for another four days before leading the New Army soldiers to find him.
After arriving in the valley, the resistance of the Junggar people was extremely weak, and the New Army soldiers occupied the entire valley with little effort.
Yuzhu went in and took a look. Oh my god, there were frozen corpses almost everywhere in the valley, so densely packed that they couldn't be seen to the end.
Lu Wu was also stunned, blinked and said: "Commander, this is a military tribute for us."
Yuzhu smiled slightly and ordered: "Except for Xiao Celing, all other Junggar people, no matter where they lie, will be stabbed with bayonets first and then beheaded."
"Hey." Lu Wu knew in his heart that the old commander was worried that if someone pretended to be dead, unnecessary casualties would be caused.
Under Yuzhu's order, rows of New Army soldiers, with their bayonets shining brightly, cautiously advanced side by side from outside the valley.
All Dzungar people lying on the ground along the way, whether alive or dead, were stabbed with bayonets first, and then their heads were chopped off with machetes.
"Ah..." A frozen Junggar man screamed out in pain after being stabbed through the abdomen.
The leader of the shed next to him said without saying a word, "Hey!" He stabbed the Dzungar man with his gun and stabbed it through the left chest.
"Uh..." The Junggar man gushed blood and died on the spot.
The shed chief immediately waved his hand, and two New Army soldiers stepped forward. One reached out and took off the Junggar man's helmet and grabbed his hair, while the other swung a big knife and viciously chopped off his head...
