"The bright moon emerges from the Tianshan Mountains, among the vast sea of ​​clouds. The wind blows thousands of miles across Yumen Pass!"

In the Yili River Valley, Huang Xin, the commander of the 18th Infantry Brigade of the Ming Army, was like a chariot general in the Spring and Autumn Period, sitting upright in a special carriage. Looking at the snow on the Tianshan Mountains in the distance, I couldn't help but feel excited.

The rubber wheels of the latest Wugang chariot rolled forward on his periphery. Behind the guardrail on the car, a soldier was holding a breech gun and was ready for battle. This was the formation of an entire infantry brigade. The four infantry battalions were divided into four corners, artillery and baggage troops were in the middle of the phalanx. The cavalry reconnaissance battalion patroled the periphery, five thousand Ming troops and one thousand Wugang chariots of various purposes, plus nearly four thousand horses formed a majestic and huge square array, and swept forward like a group of hunting lions in late autumn.

This is the vehicular infantry brigade of the Ming Dynasty. The Han people who had been in the past thousand years used this method to sweep the grasslands and make the Huns surrender. The Han peoples over a thousand years later still had to sweep the land in the same way, but the ancient wooden chariots were replaced with new chariots with steel and rubber wheels, and the crossbows were replaced with cannons and rear-mounted rifled rifles.

"Brig Commander, there is no moon in this sky!"

The coachman in front of him looked at the sun above his head and said with a wink.

"Understand the artistic conception!"

Huang Xin said angrily.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cavalry rushed into the convoy and stopped in front of him and said, "Brig Commander, the Kazakh Khans refused to withdraw from Luntai City."

"Reject? I like it with personality!"

Huang Xin said happily.

Immediately afterwards, he stood up and pulled out a signal gun next to him and pulled the trigger in the sky. A red signal flare exploded in the air. All the officers and soldiers in the moving convoy turned to look at the central army, and then they saw their brigade commander standing on his throne, waving two enlarged signal flags in his hands. His roar could even be heard at close distance.

"Go forward at full speed and break through the Luntai without cutting the knife!"

The brigade commander shouted.

The huge battle formation immediately accelerated forward.

At the same time, the Kazakh leader, the remnant of the Golden Family, and the 30,000 cavalry led by Kazakh Khan, were also surrounding from all directions.

As almost all the young and middle-aged people of the Junggar tribe were buried in the pass, the Kazakh Khan tribe, which was originally eroded by them, rose again, and even took advantage of the unattended opportunity to expand its sphere of influence to the heart of the Tianshan Mountains. However, the arrival of the Ming army ended the good times of the Kazakhs. The two sides had not really fought before, and Touke Khan had to gather enough troops. Although the Ming army arrived in Tianshan only one cavalry brigade and two infantry brigades, the reputation of the Ming army has been far-reaching in recent years. Touke Khan must have enough advantages to take action. This time, the advance of the 18th Infantry Brigade gave him an excellent opportunity to fight.

Thirty thousand elite Kazakhstan cavalry hid in the valley of the Tianshan Mountains for half a month, and finally waited for the opportunity to attack.

But unfortunately, as soon as they broke out, they were discovered by the Ming army.

"Ma, I finally saw someone!"

On a small airship in the sky, the Ming army observer pedaled something like a bicycle, holding a telescope and said as if he was relieved. Then he took out a signal gun and fired a striking red signal flare outward, and adjusting the steering rudder behind him at the same time. This single airship is the main reconnaissance method of the Ming army. It is not fast to use manpower to operate. The only advantage is that the sky is not obstructed by terrain and can see far enough, but in fact, it is just floating with the wind in most cases. After all, the propeller driven by the pedal is very inefficient.

Just as he was about to complete his turn, a strong wind suddenly blew up, blowing the not-so-large airship flying out.

"The Han people's ghost thing!"

Thirty miles below, Tok Khan, who was holding a monocular lens, said contemptuously.

"go ahead!"

Then he waved his hand and said.

The huge cavalry cluster behind him immediately moved forward like a torrent of a grassland.

At the same time, a team of Ming cavalry who were reconnaissance forty miles away from him looked at the red smoke that exploded in the sky, immediately turned around and ran towards the huge square formation thirty miles away, and soon encountered the first battalion of infantry. After learning that the enemy was coming, with the order issued by the first battalion commander, carriages loaded with infantry quickly stopped. The soldiers got out of the carriage and formed a long line of defense inside and outside the carriage. Even bundles of special spears were unloaded from the transport vehicle, and then distributed to the soldiers on each carriage, inserted into a special socket, and a continuous Great Wall with thorns was quickly established on the open grassland.

At this time, Huang Xin also received the news.

Immediately afterwards, he passed the orders to each department, and the same stretched thorny city wall also extended at an extremely fast speed on this empty grassland. The muzzles of rifles poked out from the vents of the city wall, and even the cannons were set up in the middle. Eighteen fifteen and sixteen seven and a half rifled cannons raised their muzzles high, and among the carriages that formed the city wall, a light rocket launcher also extended outwards. The Ming army, which was originally in a marching state, suddenly entered a combat state.

Similarly, a square castle was also built on the grassland.

A castle made up of Wugang car.

Each side has three infantry posts on the front line of defense, one infantry post is the reserve team, each side has four seven and a half rifled guns and sixteen single-barrel rocket launchers, and the eighteen and fifteen kilograms in the middle cannon bombard the directions that need key defense at any time, while the baggage troops and command systems are left in the middle of the castle, and the horses pulling the cart are driven to the stables that are urgently surrounded in the castle.

As for the cavalry reconnaissance battalion, they gathered to look for opportunities outside the castle to harass them.

This is the Ming army's grassland tactics.

"Let those Tartars die!"

Huang Xin waved his sword and roared.

Then the Tartars really appeared in his vision. Thirty thousand Kazakh cavalry surrounded from all sides, and the charge of thousands of troops was majestic.

Touke Khan's tactic is very simple, which is to kill the Ming army by relying on its numerical advantage. The Ming army had only one cavalry brigade and two infantry brigades in the Tianshan Mountains. One of the infantry brigades had to guard Shanshan. Only the cavalry brigade and this infantry brigade were the forces of mobile combat. As long as this brigade was killed, the Ming army, which was originally in the offensive, could only turn back to the defensive. The long supply line made the Ming army unable to maintain the combat of more troops. It can be said that at that time he was the master of the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, so he had to break through the Ming army's defense line with the most fierce attack.

However, he was immediately hit by the fiercest blow.

"Open fire!"

Huang Xin sat upright on his throne and said with a teacup.

By the way, this is indeed a throne. This chair was copied from Yinyou's palace after he captured Lanzhou. The Ming army's robbery system stipulated that everything was confiscated, but private collections were allowed to retain different weights of private collections according to different military ranks. As the brigade commander, he allowed the retained private collections to weigh up to 300 kilograms. Then he asked for this chair that should be a short couch. Anyway, the fake kings of the Tartars were jokes and there was no need to avoid anything.

As his order was issued, the fifteen-pound rifled cannons arranged neatly in the ring gun positions next to them suddenly roared.

Eighteen flowering bullets filled with wet cotton gunpowder flew out.

The 18th regiment of the Kazakh cavalry that followed the attacking fire exploded above their heads, and countless shrapnel and projectiles poured down like steel rain, immediately beating the bottom of the body and overturned.

“Good job!”

Huang Xin said with satisfaction.

The officer in charge of punching the fuses on the artillery position next to him smiled proudly, and then the same shells flew seven miles away in batches, exploded above the heads of the Kazakh cavalry, pouring down the steel fire rain composed of shrapnel and projectiles, harvesting the lives of the Kazakh cavalry and their war horses. The terrifying power of the air-explosive grenade shots was fully demonstrated when they were fighting against the classical battle formation. The Kazakhs who were charging forward desperately kept dropping one corpse after another. Soon the seven and a half pounds of cannons also joined the ranks of artillery bombardment, and then the rockets that triggered the fuse also began to fall, and the intensity of the shelling suddenly increased.

In the flames that were constantly exploding above and beside them, the Kazakh cavalry desperately whipped their war horses, while trying to control them from being shocked by the explosion.

Fortunately, they were prepared for this and had strengthened their training in this area before.

You should know that the Ming army's flowering bullets are well known.

With his bravery and tenacity, of course, he was the main master who showed his power. You should know that Tokhan is a devout believer. Relying on the support of the power of faith, after leaving countless corpses, the Kazakh cavalry finally rushed to the distance where they could see the Ming army's defense line with their naked eyes, and also to the distance to launch the final sprint. All the cavalry picked up their spears, roared strangely on the horse's back, and launched the most fierce attack on their targets.

"Open fire!"

Behind the steel carriages, the Ming army officers issued orders almost at the same time. Then all the Ming soldiers who were lying in the car, kneeling beside the carriage and even lying under the carriage pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the storm-like bullets were immediately shot out. The Kazakh cavalry in the front fell to the ground in an instant, and then they were directly stepped under the hooves by their companions' war horses. But this was just the beginning of their nightmare, as if there was not a brigade on the opposite side, but a whole army soldier shooting. The bullets were frantically sprayed out of the city wall composed of Wugang chariots. The charging Kazakh cavalry fell off the horses as if they were hit by an invisible wall.

"Occurrence, continue to attack!"

Tou Kehan, who was watching the battle from a distance, continued to urge the attack without regard to his pleading gazes.

"Khan, don't forget that our enemies are not only Han people."

One of his generals shouted.

At this time, the pattern of the three Yuzis of the Kazakh tribe was forming. In history, it was officially divided into three Yuzis after Tok Khan's death. The real subordinate of Tok Khan was only Da Yuzi. If too many of his people died, it would be inevitable that the other two Yuzis would take advantage of the situation to rob. Neighbors such as Kokhan and Bukhar would not not stab the knife in the back just because they believed in a god. In addition, the Russian Cossacks were also eyeing them.

"But now our enemies are only Han people!"

Toukehan roared.

Indeed, his only enemy now is the Ming army. Who said that the Kazakh division was on the way out of the Tianshan Mountains? The Ming army could not take the southern route to Central Asia. The Pamir Plateau was a towering natural city wall, and leaving the Yili River Valley was an inevitable choice. If he didn't fight now, he would have to wait for the Ming army to come on his own land sooner or later. Since this is the case, why not defend the enemy from the enemy? The strength of the Ming army relies on firearms. The long supply line of more than 4,000 miles weakened this advantage to the extreme. The distance of more than 4,000 miles also made it impossible for the Ming army reinforcements to arrive in a short period of time. As long as this battle is won, it can form a sweeping force against the Ming army in the Tianshan Mountains.

As long as he defeats the Ming army, he can intimidate all ambitious people, and he is the well-deserved king of the Western Regions.

He must stick with it anyway.

The zhen warriors on the battlefield were still charging forward desperately, then fell on the golden grassland one by one, watering the grass for next year with their flesh and blood. In front of them, the Ming army was still repeating the simplest movements in an orderly manner, spraying bullets outward like a storm. The flesh and steel collided to create the terror of war, and faith and technology collided to create the decline of an era.

The Warriors' era has declined.

The era of technology is rising.

But when the dead bodies of companions who were walking all over the ground finally rushed to the point where they could use their bows to shoot sharp arrows, the Kazakh cavalry found that there were three strange obstacles on the ground ahead of them, and three were like huge snakes surrounding the ring-shaped barbed wire of the entire Ming army car city. The Kazakh warriors who had no time to hold back their horses crashed one after another, and then their war horses were pulled over and they continued to hit them. The people and war horses instantly built a wall of flesh and blood outside the Ming army.

Their huge power even allowed the entire barbed wire belt to break free from the constraints of wooden stakes and shift a large piece to the front of the Ming army.

Of course, this is of no use.

Because they were still blocked.

The 30,000 cavalry charged were blocked by three serpents and one man high and were fixed with wooden stakes.

Although the Kazakh cavalry horses at the front were wrapped with barbed wire and rushed to less than ten feet away from the Ming army, then they knelt on the ground with a wail, the flexible wire and the vicious spikes on it still made the ancient masters of the land battlefield stop at a distance from their enemies, and then looked at the chaos around them at a loss, watching the terrifying scene of the man slumping over, and fell in pieces among the bullets shot from the opposite side.

"put!"
Chapter completed!
