Chapter 836 The picture is poor but the dagger is visible
Chu Huer was hugged by her guards and retreated.
The Junggar cavalry was in chaos.
The guards held up their shields and surrounded Chu Hu'er. They retreated desperately. When they encountered the chaotic Dzungar warriors, they slashed them with their swords and rushed out of a retreat.
For these guards, their duty is to protect the leader and nothing else.
Chu Huer's ears were shaken by the cannon and she made a sound. Her body was also stained with blood, whether it was human blood or horse blood, and everyone was in a daze.
Zhao Ke of the Fuhai Fleet held up a telescope and saw the chaos of the Junggar people, and also saw the flag of the hasty retreat.
"That must be the enemy general's position. Fire artillery over there immediately and blast him."
The gunner of the flagship Geely wiped the sweat from his face, looked in that direction, then stretched out his hands, raised his thumbs, gestured to aim in that direction, and then adjusted the long gun himself.
"put!"
The fuse of the match was lit, and the cannon exploded with a loud bang.
It crossed an arc and shot into the Junggar soldiers, causing screams everywhere.
The gunner shook his head and tilted his head a little.
"Come again!"
The gunners quickly cleaned the barrel and reloaded, and he immediately readjusted it, and then fired another solid shell.
A burst of smoke rose.
In the smoke, someone shouted: "Hit!"
The gunner had a good eye. He squinted his eyes and looked at it. Sure enough, the flag fell down.
When Zhao Ke on the other side heard that he had been hit, he immediately raised his telescope to watch. The flag did fall down, but he could not see whether the general was hit. He only saw that the chaos among the Junggar people intensified.
"Shout quickly, we've hit the thief chief!"
"Hit the thief chief!"
The gunners and rowers on the Fuhai Fleet shouted in unison.
ashore.
The Junggar people were in complete chaos. Five thousand people did not expect to be bombarded by boats in the lake. They did not expect that the general Chu Hu'er stood too close to the shore and his horse's head was blown off in the first round of bombardment.
, almost died.
The guards hugged him and fled. The Junggar people were still in chaos. As a result, Chu Huer and his party were bombarded again, and all the flags were knocked down. Listening to the cheers and shouts on the shore, many Junggar people watched as they fell and were submerged in the dust.
flag, and then saw the guards retreating desperately.
Some people also shouted in panic that Jinong was dead.
"Run!"
At this time, some Junggar Taijis were also desperately retreating under the protection of their own guards.
The number of five thousand riders was actually quite large. They were overwhelming and suddenly there was a commotion. Many people were running around like headless flies. It was very chaotic.
The artillery on the boat in the lake fired randomly into the dense cavalry, easily taking away groups of people. Every cannonball no longer needed to be aimed, and was fired into the formation, directly creating a bloody line.
The line can be directly cleared for a long time. If you hit it, you will die, and if you touch it, you will die. When rolling at the end, it can break several horse legs. In such a panic and dense crowd of people, the war horse fell to the ground with broken legs.
, the knight on horseback will be trampled into mud in an instant.
"Boom, bang hard!"
Zhao Ke didn't even expect that their Mongolian navy could be so powerful. This time there were only ten sailing oars. Each boat had two long cannons. These ten ships only had twenty cannons. Although the gunners were familiar, they were fast sailing oars after all.
Crab boats are inferior to the two-story and three-story gun-deck battleships of the Navy.
Although the rate of fire is fast, it can shoot solid bullets.
The chaotic response of the Dzungars was beyond the fleet's expectations. The astonishing performance of this artillery plowing through a line and creating a bloody ribbon made the Dzungars very panicked.
Especially after the leader Chu Huer was almost knocked unconscious in the first round and was forced to escape by the guards, the entire forward was not able to be commanded in time.
It’s not that the Junggar people have never seen cannons, nor that they don’t have firearms. In the city of Hoboksali where the original leader of the Junggars was stationed, there are some cannons on the city. After Batur Khan moved to Tacheng, the newly built castle was equipped with cannons.
And more.
Batur Khan's bodyguards also had a firecrackers team, numbering several hundred people. Other princes and princes also had some firecrackers, and even some Taijis also had artillery pieces.
When it comes to firearms, the Dzungars have the most contacts and possess a lot of them among the Oirat tribes. However, most of the artillery and muskets of the Dzungars are bought from the west. Firstly, the quantity is limited, and secondly, the comparison is clear.
The military's firearms are obviously far behind.
Especially the cannons have smaller calibers, especially some of the general cannons used by the Ming army in the past.
The cannons on the bows of the sail oars of the Fuhai Fleet are long ship guns. Although the calibers on these ships are not as large as those on the sail battleships, their power is not small.
The dense Dzungar crowd increased the power of the artillery and made the Dzungar cavalry even more frightened and panicked.
"It's a pity that the Hanhai cavalry is not here. Otherwise, the three thousand cavalry could have killed these thousands of Dzungar cavalry from both sides." Zhao Ke looked at the fearful running of the Dzungar people with his telescope, and couldn't help but shook his head with regret.
.
"What a hero of Oirat, nothing more than that."
Although he had a strong urge to dock the ship and pursue it with his musket, Zhao Ke still did not forget that he was a navy and was only a light infantryman when he landed ashore.
Finally, the Dzungars escaped from the firing range of the naval guns.
The gunfire stopped.
However, the Junggar people did not stop and continued to flee in a hurry to the west.
"Did the thief chief really get killed?"
"Who knows, maybe I'm not so lucky, right?"
······
Batur Khan Choros and Duo Heqin looked at their brother Chu Huer who had escaped back in a very embarrassed state, with gloomy expressions on their faces.
"You said that your five thousand Dzungarian warriors were bombarded by a few fishing boats?"
Chu Huer's body was covered in blood, and her ears were still ringing at this time, but she finally woke up, "It's not a few fishing boats, it's a warship, carrying a cannon, and a cannon blasted out, like thunder, hitting far and accurately.
I was able to clear a line immediately, and my mount was knocked off its head with one shot, and my ears were so shocked that they started to bleed..."
Batur Khan was very angry at this time. He looked at his brother and said, "Why didn't they kill you with one shot? No matter how powerful their cannons are, how many can they kill with one shot? No matter how powerful they are, they only dare to shoot in the lake.
How many boats are there and they still dare to go ashore?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! You five thousand cavalry were destroyed by a few ships and a few cannons?
Chu Huer, you have always prided yourself on your bravery, but when the cannon was fired, you asked the guards to kill your men and then find a way to escape?"
"I was stunned and didn't understand anything at the time."
"Stop talking, you father and son are usually arrogant, domineering, and unruly, but now in the war, each one is more incompetent than the other, conceited and underestimating the enemy. Bagabandi ruined five thousand warriors, and now you haven't even touched the enemy's hair.
If you reach one, you will be defeated again, and you still have the nerve to come back!"
Chu Huer was unconvinced and became angry: "If you were there, the result would not be much better. Their guns and artillery are too powerful. This was the case with the Jingsai Army at the Manas River, and it is also the same with the Fuhaihan Navy now. If we hadn't
As a countermeasure, those ships and cannons can block our way.
Even if we change to the east bank to reach Burqin Fort, by then the Irtysh River and Burqin Fort will be another Manas River and Manas City, which we cannot capture."
"We must have cannons, and we must have new cannons. Our original cannons are not powerful enough, and we didn't bring them this time, so they can't be used."
"You dare to shake the morale of the army?"
"I am telling the truth!"
"Were you frightened by the enemy's artillery fire?"
"You know what I am telling the truth, otherwise we would have captured Manas long ago, so why would we have to go around here?"
The two brothers stood up and stared at each other.
a long time.
Chu Huer spoke again: "I suggest that we disperse the various parties, quickly sweep the south bank of the Irtysh River, sweep the Dulbert pastures here, capture the herdsmen and take away their livestock, and then return."
Chu Huer was very crazy, but two encounters with Manas and Fuhai also made him sober. Facing the sharp cannon fire, it will be difficult to attack the castle, whether it is Manas City or Burqin Fort, Junggar's
It is difficult to defeat the cavalry, especially the two khanates of Turpan and Durbot. They are just the thugs of the Ming Emperor. They are backed by the Ming Empire. Moreover, the emperor is in Turpan, Hami, and has a large number of well-equipped and well-trained troops.
The well-established Imperial Guard Camp is in the Western Regions.
Beware of the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind.
It would be better to break it into pieces and have the Junggar princes and Taijis take their troops and raid the pastures of the Dulbert Khanate without attacking their fortresses, so that the initiative lies in their hands.
Leave after scanning.
By plundering people and plundering livestock and furs, they could return home with a full load and compensate the knights for their losses during the expedition. Only in this way could the people's hearts be united.
Batur Khan was very unwilling. He recruited tens of thousands of troops and marched from Manas to Fuhai. If he retreated in despair, how could he command the various ministries in the future?
"We also have to find ways to buy more cannons and build more castles. Otherwise, the next time the offensive and defensive changes, Turpan and Durbot attack, or even Julut and Kazakhstan also attack. What will we do?"
Batur still hoped to march towards Burqin, but Chu Huer refused and did not obey orders at all.
Although he returned in embarrassment, he lost only a few hundred men and still had nearly 5,000 troops. Even though his son Bagabandi destroyed 5,000 troops, Chu Hu'er was still the most powerful lord of Junggar.
The atmosphere was tense and tense. Batur Khan put his hand on the handle of the knife, but Chu Huer still refused to give in.
"Go to Burqin Fort first and see the situation. If Burqin Fort is really strong and difficult to attack with artillery, then we will disperse and sweep as you said, and then return." Batur Khan finally compromised and took a step back.
.
"Okay." Chu Huer also took a step back.
The two brothers broke up unhappy and returned to their respective headquarters.
Batur Khan pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, his heart burning with anger, but also a little helpless.
At this time, he didn't want to have another internal strife, otherwise it would just be the hatred of relatives and enemies, and the Junggar tribe could not withstand such internal strife.
"Are just a few boats and a few cannons enough to block our way?"
Batur Khan was a little confused. He knew the power of artillery, but now more than 30,000 cavalry were blocked by several artillery boats taking advantage of the favorable location. This was difficult for him to accept.
The Jingsai Army, Han Haijun, Tianshan Army, Yiwu Army, Turpan Khanate, Durbot Khanate, and Junggar fell into a huge trap.
Could it be that the invincible cavalry on the grassland could not defeat the Ming army coming from all the way in Moxi?
He couldn't help but start to think about his sons Sengge and Galdan who were still in the Ming Dynasty as hostages, and his daughter who married into the Ming Palace. He wondered if they were okay now.
Dulbert is now determined to become an enemy of the Dzungars. They are willing to degenerate and become the Ming emperor's hawks and dogs, and attack their former brothers.
What about Jie Lute and Shuote, what will they choose? Will they also work with the Ming Dynasty to deal with their own people?
Get on the road and head north.
Batur Khan had to consider more serious issues. I called some of my sons and asked them to represent themselves to see Dulbert, Shuoqi Khan, Julut Chechen Khan, and Shuote Gushi Khan respectively.
, and even Kazakh Yangjier Khan hoped that they could recognize the true face of Emperor Ming, and hoped that the various tribes in Moxi could unite and prevent the Ming Kingdom from taking the opportunity to enter the Western Regions and overpower each tribe.
In exchange for Chechen Khan's support, he even asked his son to propose to Chechen Khan that he was willing to take over the areas currently occupied by the Junggar people in the Kukwusu, Bashhan, and Angelik river basins, and from the northeastern part of Lake Markash to Tugu.
These places on the southwestern bank of Lehut were all given to the Jerut Khanate in exchange for the support of Jerlut. He asked the two Khanates of Heshuot and Jerlut to support him in re-annexing Dulbert and Huite, and proposed
After capturing Yarkand, the three khanates will divide Yarkand among themselves.
Junggar only has Turpan, Urumqi, Hami, Guanxi, Yanqi and Korla.
Aksu, Kuqa, Wushi, Kashgar, and Yarkand all fell under the jurisdiction of Lut, and Khotan, Aksai Chin, Yutian, and Ruoqiang all fell under the jurisdiction of Heshuote.
The three Oirat families were divided into Yarkands to prevent the Ming Dynasty from taking advantage.
He proposed that the Western Regions should be the Western Regions of the Oirat, not the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty. The Oirat could form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty and even pay tribute, but the Ming Dynasty must not be allowed to directly establish a foothold in the Western Regions, let alone station troops and immigrate here, otherwise the Oirat would only be a few
The Ming Dynasty had a population of one hundred thousand, and the Ming Dynasty had a population of hundreds of millions. By then, the Western Region would be completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty. Over time, Oirat would be completely reduced to a vassal, just like Durbert now.
Seeing his sons leaving with their guards, Batur Khan didn't know if his proposal could wake them up.
There has been too much internal fighting in Oirat over the years, with each other competing for pasture and their own calculations. The unity in the past has long since disappeared, and everyone is pursuing their own little calculations.
This has to be said to be the tragedy of Oirat.
But just like when Junggar, Durbot, and Shuote drove Turgut away to the west, no one was plotting against him.
Even Heshuote Gushi Khan had no choice but to move south to Qinghai-Tibet.
Who is willing to speak for the Junggars when their own interests are not affected? Didn’t the Junggar people get lost in front of the pie laid out by Emperor Ming before, but happily paid tribute and marriage to the Ming Dynasty and followed them?
Now the Emperor Ming turned his back and forcibly conferred the title of Turpan Khan, and refused to give the Eastern Xinjiang promised to Junggar. This incited them to turn against each other, but for Heshuote, Durbot, Julu Te, etc., the Ming Dynasty did not
Without violating their interests, who among them would be willing to turn against the Ming Dynasty for Junggar?
The Junggars were deceived, but the most angry and aggrieved thing is that they are still hesitant to declare war on the Ming Dynasty. They dare not declare war openly easily. They can't even destroy Turpan and Dulbert, let alone
Declare war on Ming.
Artillery guns.
"Great Khan, why don't you join forces with Tsarist Russia and purchase large quantities of firearms from them? Let's attack Dulbert from the north and the south and destroy Dulbert first?"
"What are the conditions? What can we give in exchange for Tsarist Russia sending troops?"
