Just when Chen Bangyan sent Li Rubi to capture Khovd, a battle also broke out on the south bank of the Irtysh River.
Galdan, who had just defeated the rebels and occupied Boxerli, made some preparations and, in the name of his uncle Chuhuur Ubash, took in Zhuote Babatur, and proposed to Chuhuer who was entrenched in the Irtysh River Basin.
The Ubashi separatist forces launched a fierce attack.
The young Huitaiji fought smoothly in the counter-insurgency campaign. He defeated his two half-brothers Chechen and Zhuote Babatur in just three months. This time, he planned to use the same method to fight quickly.
Slowly, with lightning speed, he defeated Chuhu'er Ubas and unified the Junggar tribe.
He appointed the brave and skilled Mahan and Omubu as the main and deputy vanguards; he led Darhan, Ayuki Darhan Haske, and Danzila as the central army; and the veteran Borote as the rear army, totaling more than 20,000 people.
The soldiers and horses went straight to the garrison and pasture land of their uncle Chuhuer Ubas.
Chuhuur Ubash is a wily and scheming man who is by no means comparable to Chechnya and Zot Babatour. He has been recruiting troops and horses over the years and has grown up with deep roots.
While he ordered Dural and Shuoqi to garrison Fuhai City on the south bank of the Irtysh River, he summoned his troops to assemble in the Burqin and Altay areas. At the same time, he also sent troops to the Erqirtu Khan and Turgut tribes in Ili.
Taiwan and Kyrgyzstan asked for help. As a senior politician, he still has many allies.
Durale and Shuoqi are also famous aristocrats in Junggar. They have always been followed by Chuhuer Ubasma. Heshuoqi is the official name of Junggar, which is equivalent to Qianhu in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Heshuo was born from Otok
An army composed of strong men. Each Otok provides fifty to one thousand Heshuo troops according to its number. The commander who leads the Heshuo army is called Heshuo Qi.
"Dulal, you will lead an army of three thousand to guard Fuhai City. You will only defend but not attack, and wait for my army to come for reinforcements." Chuhu'er Ubas said solemnly to Dulal.
"Don't worry, Taiji. As long as I, Dural, are here, Fuhai City will be here," Dural said loudly, but he was lamenting in his heart: Back then, I followed Batur Hutaiji to fight in the north and south, and I don't want to be here today.
Want to be an enemy of his son!
As the elders of the Junggar Tribe, Dural and Shuoqi once followed Batur and Sengge Huitaiji and made great military exploits. To a certain extent, this civil war in the Junggar Tribe was actually started by Galdan.
A contest between the young faction represented by Chuhuer Ubas and the elder faction represented by Chuhuer Ubas.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and Galdan's army marched very fast.
It only took five days for the pioneer Ma Han to arrive at Fuhai City. When Galdan raised his army, he wrote a letter to summon him. He was resisting the Ming army in the Flame Mountain area and did not go. He only expressed his support verbally. In order to show his support to Galdan
Because of his loyalty, he took the initiative to serve as the vanguard in this battle.
"Stop!"
Following Ma Han's order, four thousand soldiers and horses stopped in unison. Galdan knew how to use people, and Ma Han was a general, and he really had a good way of training troops.
"Call!"
A horse came galloping and swept in front of Mahan's horse, but it was Omubu, the deputy vanguard. This man was Galdan's confidant and a famous brave general in Junggar. "Vanguard, our army is at its peak, why not take advantage of the situation and seize the city?"<
/p>
Omubu had a loud voice, holding his neck and roaring, causing the earth to shake.
Ma Han smiled slightly and said, "General Omubu, please be patient. The enemy has a city wall to back it up. A direct attack on the city will cause heavy casualties. I think this city is an earthen city. The east city wall is broken. We can focus on artillery bombardment. This city will be destroyed."
.
After Galdan succeeded Hutaiji, he regarded the re-emerging Ming Dynasty as his number one enemy. He changed the tough attitude of Batur and Sengge Hutaiji towards the Rakshasa people, making them both use and guard against them.
, obtained a large number of firearms from the Rakshasa people, and bought a large number of firearms from Samarkand of the Brakha Khanate, the arms trading center in Central Asia. There are many artillery pieces in the army, and there are forty in Mahan's army.
There are eight artillery pieces, including eight large-caliber cannons made by the Rakshasa Kingdom.
The artillerymen began to build forts and load ammunition, while the archers fired towards the city to cover the artillerymen.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
A few small cannons on the city wall fired sparsely first, but the number was small and the caliber of the shells was small, so the threat was not great.
The veteran forces in Junggar are superstitious about the bow and horse riding and shooting passed down from generation to generation by the Mongolians. They pay little attention to firearms and have no concept of coordinated infantry and artillery operations. Therefore, in terms of firearms configuration, they are far weaker than those led by Galdan.
The young army.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
The cannons of the Mahan tribe began to roar, and the huge sound and dense rain of bullets made the city breathless.
With a dull sound of collapse, a gap was opened in the east city wall.
"Haorui!"
Omubu drove his war horse, shouted "Haorui", and jumped into the city.
One of the defenders was holding a gun and was about to stab him, but the long Omubu knife was slashed across the head, and the head fell to the ground. The eyes on the ferocious man's head were still staring.
"Haorui~Haorui~Haorui~"
The morale of the Mahan tribe was greatly boosted, and they marched into the city shouting.
Dural felt bitter in his heart. He boasted so much in front of Chuhu'er Ubas, but unexpectedly he didn't even last a day!
"Open the city gate and retreat quickly!"
Dural gave a shout and flew away on his horse.
Fleeing to the reeds by the Irtysh River, suddenly all the ambush troops came out, but it was Mahan who had ambushed 300 soldiers here.
Du Lale, who was tired of men and horses, let out a long sigh and surrendered.
Galdan's army arrived at Fuhai City, and Ma Han went out to greet them, saying, "Huntaiji, the last general has fulfilled his mission, conquered Fuhai City, and captured Dural."
"Okay! General Mahan captured Fuhai City in one day and captured the enemy's general. He is really my Muhuali!"
Galdan laughed and patted Mahan on the shoulder.
Mu Huali was the founding general of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Genghis Khan established ten households (called "Alban" in Mongolian), hundreds (called "Zhawen Nayan" in Mongolian), and thousands of households (called "Min" in Mongolian).
"Han Nayan"), ten thousand households (called "Tumian" in Mongolian), the entire grassland tribe is divided into ninety-five thousand households, and there are ten thousand households above the thousand households. Muhuali is appointed as the head of ten thousand households on the left wing;
Borshu served as the chief of ten thousand households on the right wing; Naya'a became the chief of ten thousand households in the middle army, and established a huge empire.
Comparing Mahan to Muhuali is like comparing himself to Genghis Khan. What a big intention!
"How can a general be so virtuous and capable? How dare he be compared with Mu Huali? Huitai Ji is overly praised." Ma Han was busy being humble.
After Galdan finished praising Mahan, he ordered Du Lale to be brought up.
He angrily scolded Durale and said: "Dulale, my father and brother appointed you as Heshuoqi (thousand households), what should I do to you? Why did you betray me and help Chuhuer Ubashi to commit abuse?"
Hearing Galdan mention Batur and Sengge, and thinking of his old master's kindness to him, Dural was ashamed, flushed, and said nothing.
Seeing that he seemed to be regretful, Galdan asked: "Are you willing to surrender?"
This Dural is a veteran and important minister of the Junggar tribe. If he is willing to surrender, he will definitely shake the morale of the rebels.
Unexpectedly, Du Lale hesitated for a while, but refused: "Thank you Hutaiji for your kindness. Chuhu'er Ubastaiji has been kind to me. All I have to do today is die!"
"Damn it!"
Seeing that he refused to surrender, the Galdan tribe generals Darhan, Ayuki Darhan Hashke, Danzila, etc. all pulled out their steel swords and wanted to kill him.
Galdan smiled and waved his hand, "I have long heard from my father and brother that Dural is a man who values friendship. Anyway, I will not kill you because of your past achievements. Come here, give me
He is a horse, let him go."
The subordinates brought a horse, and Du La strangled him to escape death. He got on the horse and drove away. After galloping for a while, he suddenly returned, bowed to Galdan, then mounted the horse again and galloped away.
