Yes, the Kazakhs also have artillery.

At this time, the Ottoman muskets and cannons could be made. After it was spread to Persia, it was further spread to the Bukhara Khanate.

The Kazakh Khanate and the Junggar Khanate are powerful enemies to the Bukhara Khanate and are often plundered by them. Their focus of plunder is not only wealth but also craftsmen.

During the heyday of the Junggar Khanate, the Russians in Siberia were suppressed and could not raise their heads, and they also captured a large number of soldiers who could make muskets and artillery.

The Russians were very cold to the prisoners who fell into the hands of the enemy. Needless to say, the people in the Shiva Khanate were still there. In fact, many people fell into the Junggar Khanate, and most of them became the Junggar musket instructors and firearm craftsmen.

Of course, the artillery in the hands of the Kazakhs must be light artillery like Truchen. Due to material problems, the shells that can be fired under the same weight are only half the size of the Truchen, and they are even worse than that.

For the nomadic tribe, he would rather fight with a sabre than manipulate the artillery. Although the musket is easy to explode, the possibility of death is still smaller. Once the cannon explodes, it will be broken.

For the Kazakhs, they obviously did not master accurate aiming techniques, but just roughly bombarded the ruins of Chucheng. They would have to rest for a while after firing three guns.

This exposed the location of their artillery.

Soon, after using cannon shotguns, muskets and grenades to repel three crazy attacks from the Kazakhs, the Truqin army began to use howitzers to name the Kazakh artillery not far away.

After half a day of fighting, the sound of cannons outside the city finally subsided. The artillery soldiers were either killed by grenades or were unwilling to continue to fuck them. The few who moved the cannons to the distance could only scratch the Truqin people.

Faced with the crazy attack of the Kazakhs, Truchen still did not press all the artillery this time. In theory, there were three brigades and one personal guard regiment in the city, with a total of 10,000 people. According to their configuration, there were at least five hundred small cannons.

But according to Ablikhan's observation on the mountain bag, there are only a hundred artillery guns near the low walls around the ruins at most.

This is a castle, a castle with a circumference of at least four miles!

In one morning, Kazakh soldiers lost more than a thousand, which made Ablikhan tangled.

At noon, the Kazakhs stopped attacking.

Ablai Khan also moved the tent to the mountain bag at this time, and without hesitation, he seized the command of the 40,000 army. Ablai Bandit was also very aware of it and did not say anything during this period.

The two great knights stood side by side in the open view of Shanbao.

After a while, Ablikhan said, "If this continues, even if we eventually annihilate this enemy, the losses will be extremely heavy."

Abrbant said: "When they passed by Turkestan, I carefully observed their equipment. They were all one man and two horses, one horse riding, one horse carrying spare supplies, and a small number of camels, which were used for camel-mounted artillery artillery."

"Their artillery is known as a hundred kilogram cannon, weighing only one hundred kilograms, but it can fire shells weighing up to five kilograms, and can reach a distance of one mile away. Obviously, either their gunpowder is better or the quality of the artillery is much higher than ours."

"Also, in addition to the muskets, sabers and other items they carry, their soldiers also carry three-day ammunition and dry food"

"Their leads are conical and connected to the tube paper. They are twenty pieces per day, and sixty pieces per day"

"They called the three-day ammunition a base, and the camels on the other horses and camels carrying tightly sealed wooden boxes, and the wooden boxes were loaded with another nine base ammunition"

"So, it is impossible to consume their ammunition using the advantage of the number of people?"

Ablikhan's expression subsided as soon as he heard it.

Abrbant continued: "In order to win me over, this guy Qitad gave me three hundred muskets, but the ammunition was completely different from what they used now, and it was similar to our muskets."

"Obviously, they use better muskets"

Ablikhan didn't speak, but just stood there quietly.

"Hu..."

A strong wind suddenly hit, mixed with a little sand and dust.

Ablikhan looked up at the sky.

Clouds are dense.

It is the turn of summer and autumn now, and at this time, the last rain in the Saiye River Basin will fall.

The Qihe Basin has little rainfall, but it is not completely gone. The mountains near the upper reaches of the Yili River are the last place where the distant Atlantic airflow arrives, and you can't get through here.

Therefore, during the year, such as the turn of winter and spring, and the turn of summer and autumn, there will be a few rains, but the rain is not heavy.

Ablikhan also knew very well about the properties of gunpowder, and he couldn't help but pray in his heart.

"Omnipotent Truth. Lord, please give devout believers a heavy rain for several days"

Just as the two great khans were watching on the mountain bag, Ablakhan's adopted son Yanger was taking a small number of scouts to investigate on the outermost side of the battlefield.

Since this place has been occupied by the Kyrgyzs for a long time, it is relatively unfamiliar to both sides, so the surrounding geographical structure also needs to be carefully investigated.

Near Chucheng, in the Han Dynasty, it was once the military farmland of the Han army. After the Han army withdrew, it was also changed to farming. The people of Kangju continued to use it. In order to facilitate the use of the water of the Saiye River, they used the multiple forks formed when the Saiye River flooded and opened two separates from the Saiye River and finally merged into the closed-loop tributary of the Saiye River.

The two tributaries form a large circle, and the Shaye River in the middle is its diameter.

Near the two semicircular arcs, there were originally many third-level tributaries distributed in dense circles, but now they are obviously not visible.

But the two semicircular tributaries are still there, but they are dry most of the time. In addition, although there is rain at the turn of autumn and summer, it is not heavy. It will end in two or three days at most.

By then, the two tributaries will regain some river water, but at most it is only one foot deep.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Yanger, as the captain of the scout, naturally knew about these situations.

However, his responsibility was that he had to tell Ablikhan about this situation.

When he was about to arrive at Shanbao, the two great khans were about to leave.

"Sweat"

Yanger respectfully kneeled on one knee to report.

"How?"

"I haven't found anything else, but..."

"But what?"

"Khan, although our army has surrounded the enemy tightly with several internal and external levels, there is also a problem that cannot be ignored"

"Oh?"

"On the outermost periphery of our army are tributaries dug out by farmers to irrigate farmland. We saw them when we came here. The river water of Suyechuan is very shallow, and the two tributaries are completely dry."

"But if it rains heavily, the water of the Saiyechuan River surges and fills the two tributaries again, we will be surrounded by them and unable to move."

"Hahaha," Abrbant said with a smile, "Of course there is rain here, but it will not exceed three days each time, and the rain is extremely small. If you want to fill this big-bellied shattered Yechuan, there is no door."

"Big belly broken Ye Chuan?" Ablihan was a little puzzled.

Abrebbet explained: "When the Sailed Ye River flows through this place, two tributaries are divided, and they all return to the Sailed Ye River. These three rivers are all Sailed Ye River, so locals call it Dadu Sailed Ye River"

Ablikhan nodded and said to Younger: "Don't worry, I'm still looking forward to it raining. Once it rains, it will rain for several consecutive days, and the large amount of gunpowder reserved by the enemy will be damp."

"Even if the big-bellied Yechuan is filled with river water, the Truqins are trapped in the moisture of gunpowder, and they will try their best to open up the channels for communication with the outside world. The two rivers outside will in turn trap them."

He suddenly knelt down and lay on the ground and muttered something.

Seeing this, Abre Bangbit and Yanger quickly knelt down and prayed with Abre Khan.

After a while, Ablikhan stood up.

"If it rained for five consecutive days this time, it would not only make all the gunpowder of the Truchens scrapped, but also fill all the rivers in the Qihe River Basin. In this way, it would be impossible for the three brigades outside to come back to rescue them successfully."

"At the same time, the faster the rivers here rise, the faster the rain stops and retreats, which does not hinder our communication with the outside world"

In the afternoon, the red clouds accumulate thicker and thicker, and a heavy rain is coming.

The Kazakhs also gave up their attack and waited for the heavy rain to arrive.

In the evening, the wind was getting stronger, and at six or seven o'clock, the raindrops as big as beans finally fell!

It rained all night and the rain stopped a little the next day, but it was still drizzling, and there seemed to be no sign of stopping.

In Ablai Khan's tent, he and Ablai Bandit and others were drinking, eating roast lamb and drinking grape wine.

"Wait for another three days!"

Ablikhan said loudly, with joy in his voice.

"According to my understanding of gunpowder, once the rain lasts for three days, the gunpowder must be damp."

Abrem Bandit seems to have thought of something.

"Shank you, our gunpowder is powdery and is prone to moisture and shattering, while the Truqins are granular, so I'm afraid..."

Ablikhan waved his hand, "Didn't Qitad give you three hundred muskets and some ammunition? Just check it out then"

It seems that the prayers of several people have played a role. This year's rain seems to be very different from the past. Sometimes it rains heavily, sometimes it is sparse, and sometimes it clears up again, but it has never stopped completely.

Three days later, Abre Bangbit smiled and said to Abre Khan: "As expected by Khan, the granular gunpowder that Qitad gave me was also damp, and the particles were tightly stuck together. If you want to use it, you have to dry it thoroughly."

"Hahaha," Ablikhan laughed loudly when he heard this, "I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that the Kittad, who had been traversing the Caspian Sea for several years, even the Russians, would fall into my hands. What are you waiting for? Attack overnight!"

A new round of offense has begun. This time, Ablikhan pushed all the elite troops of Dazhong Yuzi at one time.
