Yunli's expression was shocked, and Mingsuo Li immediately invited someone in. The person who sent the secret edict was very strange, but after seeing the token on his body, he understood that he was a spy belonging to Yinzhen alone.
The visitor didn't say much and said directly: "Prince Yi accepts the order!"
Upon hearing this, Yunli immediately clapped his sleeves, knelt down solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, Yunli, accept the order!"
After he raised his hands above his head, there was a cold golden cylinder in his hand. After opening the sealed golden cylinder, Yunli saw the secret decree inside and understood what Yinzhen meant.
He stood up and handed the secret edict and the golden cylinder back to the spy who was standing there, saying: "Please report to the emperor and tell me that I know what to do."
The secret agent nodded slightly and exited the camp. Although Sori was very curious, he did not dare to ask more questions in the face of the extremely serious Yunli.
After Yunli walked back and forth in the tent for a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said in a cold voice: "Send the order and rest for a day. The whole army will be dispatched tomorrow to attack Jungar."
Suoli didn't expect that he would suddenly make such a decision, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, I forgive my subordinates for talking too much. We haven't figured out Jungar's troop deployment yet. Is it too risky to send troops rashly?"
Yunli glanced at him and said calmly: "Are you afraid that I will lose to Galdan?"
Suoli said quickly: "My subordinates believe in the prince, but Galdan has many tricks and has taken advantage of the location here. Apart from having more people than him, we have no other advantage. I feel that
It’s better to be more cautious.”
"On the battlefield, there are too many variables." After Yunli said this without any end, he patted Soli on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I know what's going on. Just go down and deliver the order."
Seeing that Yunli had made up his mind, Sori had no choice but to agree. When he went to battle on the second day, Yunli actually let the firearms battalion, which had never been used extensively, take the lead. The formation was the same as when he encountered an ambush before, and all the firemen
The gunmen were divided into three rows and fired their rounds alternately, forming a dense barrage of fire.
This was originally no problem, but this time it did not achieve the same results as before. It can even be said that the effect was minimal, because this time Galdan led the battle not with the usual cavalry, but with infantry, and each infantry raised a
There was a thick shield that was half as high, and the whole person was huddled behind. Although the musket was powerful, it lost its effect when faced with such a shield, and the enemy slowly approached.
Seeing this scene, Soli said nervously: "Your Majesty, we have to withdraw the firearms camp quickly, otherwise they will be in danger once they are approached or the ammunition is used up. Moreover, Zungol is on guard. Even if we continue,
It won’t have any effect.”
He was not the only one who had this intention, there were also several lieutenants. However, Yunli was surprisingly decisive and refused to withdraw the firearms battalion despite any words. He still insisted on letting them hold it in front, and the more than 200,000 troops behind him did not do anything.
There was no intention of coming to support.
At this time, Jungar's infantry were already less than a few feet away from the musketeers. Soli's eyes turned red. He clenched the handle of his sword and was about to lead his troops to rush out. However, Yunli held down his shoulders firmly and said, "There is no such thing as this king's."
Order not to move without permission!"
"But they are about to die!" Suori spoke to Yunli in a roaring tone for the first time, "Does the prince want to watch them die?"
"I have my own plans. Anyway, you and the rest of you..." Yunli glanced at the several lieutenants who were also a little impatient, and said coldly: "Without my order, anyone who dares to act without permission will be punished."
Military justice!"
His words made Sori and several lieutenants dare not speak anymore, but they felt strong dissatisfaction in their hearts, because in their view, Yunli was too headstrong and refused to admit his mistakes. In other words, he was simply giving away
Die to those musketeers.
On the other side, Galdan showed a weird smile. That marching defense map was absolutely correct. Yunli wanted to repeat the same trick, using musketeers to kill his soldiers like last time, but no matter how good the muskets were,
It's useless in front of these shields that are several inches thick. Hum, this time, he must avenge his shame!
Thinking of this, Galdan ordered: "Give me the order. Once the other party makes a move, immediately rush forward with me and kill as many musketeers as possible."
These musketeers are like Yunli's claws, and they are the sharpest ones. Once they are chopped off, they will inevitably break their bones.
The approach of the Galdan soldiers caused the musketeers to become panicked and they could no longer shoot accurately. This speeded up the advance of the Galdan soldiers in disguise. Finally, when the distance was close enough to be within reach, the Galdan soldiers revealed themselves.
After removing their fangs, the men still hid behind their shields, but stretched out their swords, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the musketeers who were unable to fight at close range.
Several lieutenants were extremely anxious and said something, but Yunli ignored them. Seeing more and more casualties, Soli couldn't help but said loudly: "Your Majesty, do you want to wait until all the musketeers are dead?"
Only then are you willing to admit that you deployed the wrong formation and made the wrong decision in this battle?
Order to send out troops? They are all living people. Is right or wrong more important than life? My subordinates have been with you for many years and have never doubted you. But this time you are really wrong.
Even if you want to deal with your subordinates under military law, they must save them!"
Having said this, Sori turned around and shouted at the soldiers: "Anyone who is not afraid of death, come with me and charge!"
Several lieutenants glanced at the expressionless Yunli and rushed out. Behind them were a vast number of soldiers. In just a short time, hundreds of musketeers were killed or wounded. They may not know each other, but they all have them.
The same name - soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, they must not watch their compatriots die and ignore them. Even if they will be dealt with afterwards, they can't care so much.
Countless people rushed over, but Yunli stayed there motionless, his eyes full of anger and annoyance, as if he couldn't accept his failure!
Galdan saw this scene in his eyes, and the smile on his lips became more and more obvious. Yunli may be really strong, but he has a fatal flaw, that is, he is too confident and cannot accept his own failure. For example, this time, if
He was willing to admit defeat and take action earlier, so the losses to the firearms camp would not be so serious.
No one knew how hard Yunli held the reins with his hands. Every knuckle was glowing with a cold white color. Until the end of the battle, he did not move or even say a word.
Under the leadership of Sori and others, more than 200,000 troops fought fiercely with Jungar. In such a large-scale battle, the skills of Sori and several lieutenants were not enough to command the overall situation.
