Chapter 1128 - Catching Turtles in the Dzungar Urn

The mountain on the left seemed steep, but there were only three or four hundred people above. They piled up a lot of gravel on the mountain to defend against the Ming army forcing the mountain.

However, the mountain is bare and has excellent shooting perspectives on both sides. The Ming army does not need to attack with their lives at all. They just need to shoot calmly at the foot of the mountain, and there is no place to hide!

It can be said that no matter who the Ming army sent to attack the mountain on the left, as long as they have good legs and feet, they can easily climb the mountain. They can be sure to have hands-on series!

Just as Zhu Daneng repeatedly asked for battle, he suddenly heard a mess of guns sounding in the northwest direction, which was completely different from the sound of the guns of the Ming army.

Everyone was shocked and looked at the place where the gunshots were heard, and bursts of smoke and dust rose behind the green mountains.

Zhu Heqi shouted loudly: "Send the order and the whole brigade will quickly move eastward, hurry!"

Judging from the gunfire, this is definitely not something that ordinary herders have set, but an organized army!

Looking at the smoke and dust again, I think there must be a large number of enemy troops here!

Zhu Heqi immediately realized that this matter was not simple, and a hint of anxiety appeared on his face for the first time.

Until now, the 5,000 troops of the King's Brigade are still standing in the valley. If they are besieged and attacked, the terrain here will be extremely unfavorable to our army!

Zhu Daneng agreed and flew away. The four hundred soldiers of the King of Han guarding the camp were fully armed and highly alert, guarding Zhu Heji.

After a while, after hearing the order, the regiments quickly advanced to the east, completely ignoring the thousands of herders who had just appeared.

In the northwest direction, the gunshots gradually subsided, but the smoke and dust were getting more and more thicker. I think it was because the night ahead could not resist it!

In the blue sky, the sun shines pale, and the quiet forests seem to have an earthquake.

In the dense forest around, suddenly a group of birds soared into the sky, flying and dancing wildly in the sky, making a noise.

The five thousand Ming troops had almost gone, but thousands of herders were still on the surrounding cliffs, staring blankly at the panicked flock of birds in the sky.

An old herder looked at his head man seriously and said calmly: "Head man, I think Mingjun looks down on us."

The head man said calmly: "Be more confident and remove your feelings..."

The old herder twitched and asked, "What should we do? Are we chasing?"

The head man said confidently: "Don't worry... If there are sweating profusely catching turtles in the outer jar, they can't escape!"

Outside the eastern exit of the Algret Mountain is a flat and wide area surrounded by fine grasslands, occasionally with some shrubs and rolling hills.

At this time, large Mongolian army lined up in groups. Behind the hills, in the valleys, and in the woods, more Mongolian horses were running from afar, and horse hooves stepped in the river water, making a rustling sound, and the momentum was quite loud.

The new Khan of the Junggar tribe, Zhuotbabathur, stood on a hill, staring at the gap in the distance with a wolf-like eyes.

He is the second son of Baturhuntaiji, the half-brother of King Sengge of Junggar Khan, and the half-brother of Galdan.

Zhuotbabatuer was extremely unhappy about the fifth brother Sengge appointed by the Ming court as Khan. As early as the imperial edict of the Ming Emperor's enthronement in the 12th year of Tianwu, he gave up his son and fought with Sengge for the inheritance, and joined forces with his brother Chechen to attack Sengge.

In the end, because the Ming Dynasty conquered the Western Protectorate's Office sent troops to support Sengge, after the Battle of Eminhe, Zhuotbabatul was weak and weak, so he was forced to recognize Sengge's legal status in the Junggar tribe.

In the past two years, the conflict between the two sides has intensified again. With the support of Tsarist Russia, Zhuotbabathur once again joined forces with his brother Chechnya to attack the Khan King Sengge, and finally succeeded, killed Sengge and proclaimed himself the new Khan.

In Zhuotbabatul's heart, he was a descendant of Yesian, the 28th Mongolian Khan, and had sacred blood. Why was he dominated by the Ming people?

Thinking back to the past, my ancestors captured Emperor Ming in Tumu Fort and attacked Beijing. What a glory it was. As his descendant, he should not live so cowardly!

Now, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty dared to conquer the west of the desert in person. What was even more rampant was that he sent a prince who was still young to pacify Junggar, which was so arrogant!

Zhuotbabathur, who was originally planning to encircle the Northern Army with the coalition forces, heard the news and hurriedly led his troops back to Junggar to surround and kill the son of Emperor Ming, intending to create another Tumu Fort.

The Dog Emperor is far away in Yili, and there are strong troops around him. It is difficult to attack, so Zhuotbabatul can only bully his son!

Zhuotbabathur raised his hand slightly, and immediately a Mongolian leader came over and leaned over to obey the orders.

He asked in a cold voice: "Are the artillery ready?"

The leader said: "The Khan returns to the Khan, the eighty cannons are ready! Just wait for the Ming army to come out of the valley, the Khan gives the order and will make them cry for their parents!"

Zhuotbabathur nodded slightly, with a wicked smile on his face, and waved his hand and said, "Well, go and prepare!"

At first glance, the territory of Junggar belongs to the "barren Northwest region", but in fact, this place is a Feng Shui treasure land for the development of firearms.

Not only are there plump water and grasslands and prosperous commerce in its territory, but the Central Asia region adjacent to the west is also an important period for the development of firearms.

The army of the Junggar in the 17th century was completely different from the ordinary Mongolian army. They had a deep imprint of the Central Asian army, and the firearm tactics completely replicated the Uzbek's routine of "first bird cannon, second firing, second firing" in the first place.

There were also a large number of Central Asian firearm craftsmen and elite soldiers who directly joined the combat troops of Junggar. This powerful brigade, which had the rapid and fierce characteristics of Mongolian cavalry and the sharp firepower of Central Asian countries, was also a powerful enemy of the Qing Dynasty in history. The firearms were even more advanced than the Eight Banners Army.

The Junggar Khanate gave people the impression of nomadic tribes, but they had a unique style of painting, not only developed agriculture, but also mature handicrafts, especially their military industry, with extremely high technical standards.

Its developed iron smelting industry gave Junggar a strong foundation to cast guns and cannons. They were not only able to independently manufacture various types of guns and ammunition, but also had as many as six or seven thousand craftsmen specializing in the manufacture of guns and cannons.

Unlike the Qing Dynasty in later generations, Junggar curbed the development of firearms. The rulers of the Khanate throughout the ages expressed a hungry learning attitude towards firearms and equipment.

For example, the previous Khan King Sengge, who was attacked, led his troops to attack Russian outposts many times, captured Russian soldiers, and asked these Russian prisoners of war to mine iron for Junggar, develop gunpowder formulas with stronger explosive power, and many guns, cannons and weapons representing the Russian level were also successively built under the guidance of prisoners of war.

Because the Ming Dynasty used firearm army to reshape mountains and rivers, which gave great inspiration to the surrounding countries, the rulers of the Junggar tribe had a stronger attitude towards learning.

At this time, the person in charge of the artillery battalion of the Junggar tribe was a Swedish man named Renat. He was once a warrant officer of the Swedish artillery. He was captured by the Russian army for the war and then was captured by the Junggar in a Russian quasi-battle.

People with skills can enjoy themselves everywhere. Renat is such a person. Because of his firearm technology, he was regarded as a guest of honor by Junggar.

After receiving the order from Zotebabatul, Reinat was extremely excited and finally had to fight again!

The reason why these foreign prisoners worked so hard for Junggar is mainly because the Junggar tribe has generous policies. As long as you can create a tough guy, status, gold and silver, and beauty, you can choose whatever you want!

The most important thing is that you are free and can go home!
