Chapter 64: The cavalry protrudes with swords and guns (1) Kulkarawusu (Part 1)

 After learning of the operation of Qitad, Amursana launched another attack on Yongchang's army.

After arriving at the intersection of the Jiergalang River (Sikeshu River in later generations) and the Kuitun River, he personally led 15,000 cavalry to continue eastward along the banks of the Kuitun River.

Tuerhut Datai Jisheling took five thousand elite cavalry and turned southeast along the Jiergalang River.

Their purpose is the Kurkala Usu Prairie (later Wusu City) wrapped in the Girgalang River and Kuitun River!

The Yongchang army is stationed on both sides of the Kuitun River.

Amursana, 33 years old this year, is tall and handsome, and always has a warm smile on his face. Whether it is Taiji or the herdsman, he feels like a spring breeze when he sees him.

But now he is not very open.

Qitad had asked Qilibu to bring him a message.

"I won't stay here for a long time. Once the war is over, I will return to Europe"

Amursana naturally would not believe that he was here to help him for free, but Qitad's next words still touched him.

"I will take all the Turkuts here"

The Turguts, that is, the tribe of Sheling, have only 10,000 tents at most, and it will not hurt the Junggar Khanate, which now has nearly 100,000 tents.

But he must thank Qitad.

If he had not arrived, I believe that his subordinates would have much fewer troops now, and he would not have drawn the Sheren tribe from the battlefield confronting the Kazakhs here.

However, there was always a fear hidden in his heart.

A deep fear.

"A hard bridge and hard horse annihilate Zhongyuzi. Will Qitad, the two elite members of Dayuzi, keep his promise?"

His prestige was still above the serious Taijibayar of the tribe, which was not because of the identity of the posthumous son of Tarazang Khan or the grandson of the Choross clan. At this time, the two surnames of the Junggar Khanate had a certain effect, but had no decisive influence.

He relies on his connections and prestige he has worked hard since childhood.

With the blood of Baturhuntaiji and Gushikhan, when the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Heshuote Khanate Kingdom, it would be impossible for him to serve the country for life like others. The only way is to be void and serpent.

Revenge is his destiny.

Otherwise, he would not have sent people everywhere to incite the Mongolian chiefs to rebel after defeating Dawazi Khan. If he had no connections before, these people would listen to him?

To put it bluntly, the Qing Dynasty's current methods have penetrated into the grassland. Unlike the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Eight Banners system they implemented was actually to enshrinite households and people. The Han and Tang Dynasties just appointed noble chiefs who were loyal to themselves as governors/Khans after defeating the grassland tribes.

Not to mention the weak and clear control of the grassland with almost zero control. The so-called Nuer Gandusi, Duoyan Sanwei and others are just an illusion.

Welcoming the upper class of Mongolian tribes, marrying princesses, enthroning ordinary herdsmen into the Eight Banners, vigorously promoting the Yellow Cult, expanding the practice of males in the Vilath Code that must enter the Lama Temple to study scriptures, and creatively establishing a succession system for golden urn drawing lots in Tibet. The Qing Dynasty practices far better than those in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

But all this has a great impact on the tribal nobles. Therefore, after being encouraged by Amursana, it is impossible for the Mongolian princes who stayed in Beijing for at least half a year (similar to the practice of the Tokugawa Shogunate) to not take action.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty massacre destroyed the Junggar, in addition to being a century-old feud, it was necessary to calculate the general accounts and shock the outer Khalkha that had already entered the flag. The Wulianghai tribes were the real purpose.

Because they also know that the Kazakh grassland is too vast. Once they are let go, they may revive in a few years. Once they recover, the Mongolian herders in the entire northern and southern deserts will be their inexhaustible source of troops and taxes!

Of course, all this was not something Amursana could think clearly. He had nothing else in his heart except to become a khan and to take revenge.

In the previous few battles with Yongchang, both sides were tentative and did not use their full strength. However, this time, after the rear base in Turpan was destroyed by the Truchens, and after Qitad personally went north to Jaisanbo, Amursana knew very well that if he did not seize this opportunity, he would never have a chance.

Rather than saying that Chilibu is unwilling to intervene in this battle, it is better to say that Amursana is unwilling to let the Truchens become the main force to defeat the Qing army. In that case, his position will be very embarrassing after this battle.

The people on the grassland are very practical. Once the Truqins make great contributions in this battle, the remaining Taijis will push Qitade as the Khan without hesitation.

But he had to rely on Qitade. Although both sides did not do their best in the previous battles, the Qing army, which had the advantage of firearms, obviously did not use their strength because their firearms had not yet appeared!

So, with a contradictory mentality and endless melancholy, Amursana led his troops onto the journey.

In front of him were three thousand pioneer elites led by his adopted son Bilige, and in the middle was the Choross family Taijigar Zangdorji who defected to him. He had five thousand people under his command and seven thousand people around him. In addition to the elites of the Huit tribe north of the Tianshan Mountains, more were the Dulbert herders he had absorbed in recent years.

"Dadadada"

When he was halfway through, several riders flew in front of him.

One of them is the captain of the scout cavalry under the pioneer Bilige.

The visitor came to Amuelsanama and got off the horse about three feet away, then knelt down on one knee and said, "Shan, Biligezasan ordered me to report"

"Say"

"The Forward Battalion is about thirty miles away from Kurkalawusu. According to the information of our reconnaissance cavalry, Qinggou has crossed the Kuitun River and started to set up a formation in Hexi. Now Zasang has stopped. What should I do next? Please give instructions from the Khan"

After hearing this, Amursana quickly abandoned the contradictions and melancholy and quickly returned to a solemn state.

"Qinggou did this, obviously not going to confront our army across the Kuitun River, but to be ready to fight me!"

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

"The news that the Truqins occupied Turpan had a great impact on them. If they could not defeat Ben Khan as soon as possible, they would be unable to stand firm near Tianshan Mountains, and in the end they had to retreat to the Balikun Lake and Hami in shame"

"Every time they go out, they have to prepare huge amounts of food and grass, and a large number of civilians will be dispatched. The next time they want to go out, they must prepare for two or three years. Moreover, after they lose Turpan, the emperor will definitely be furious and will definitely ask him to defeat me as soon as possible to save face."

Thinking of this, he asked: "How did they set up their formation?"

"Reporting to the Khan, the ones who came out of the Kuitun River were all light cavalry. According to the banner, it should be Elinqindaorji, the prince of Tushetu Khan's tribe, with a population of about 5,000"

"Is it him?"

Amursana couldn't help but think.

"The last time I instigated the Khalkha tribes, I guess it had attracted the attention of the Qing people. The elite troops brought by Elinqindaorji were all from Tushetu Khan's tribe, and the rest were from Neikha. I guess the Qing court was worried about these people."

"Let them cross the Kuitun River and fight me. In addition to testing them, they have the intention to hurt both sides. Their main firearms troops must have been deployed on the east bank of the Kuitun River"

"Once our army wins, they can use firearms to block our army from advancing to take advantage of the victory. Once our army is defeated, their cavalry can cross the Kuitun River to pursue"

After a while, he finally made a decision.

"Go back and tell Bilige quickly and let him dispatch only a small number of troops to fight the ranger of Erinqin Daorji, and most of them stay in place"

....

The west bank of Kuitun River.

Elinqindoorji soon met an Amursana Ranger captured by his own Ranger.

After seeing Elinqin Daorji, the rover not only did not panic, but also looked around in a mysterious way. Seeing this, Elinqin Daorji said, "You guys retreat first, I want to interrogate this person myself"

At this time, on the west bank of Kuitun River, he was the only one who set up a tent. After retreating left and right, he was the only one left in the tent, the personal guard and the roar.

"Sweat!"

The man fell to his knees at this time.

"Oh?"

"Sweeping, something big is wrong!"

"The big thing is not good? I'm very good now"

"Khan, what I'm talking about is not this, but the north and south!"

Although Turpan in the south was captured by Truqin's army, although it always tried its best to keep it secret, it could not be kept in the end. In the end, many people, including Elinqindaorji, knew about it, but the news in the north was still "our army was confronting the Qitade army near Zhaisangbo."

"What's going on the north?"

"The Great Khan, Truqin Khan Qitad personally led the army here, and he could not help but defeated the Kazakhs and Kyrgyzstans, and went north to defeat Salar!"

"Ah?"

This section is obviously something that Elin Qin Daoerji doesn't know.

"What's going on?"

"Qitad nominally sent two brigades of 6,000 people to confront Salar across the Kuitun River. In fact, there was only one brigade there. Another brigade bypassed the main road from the mountain road south of Jaisanbo and went straight to the back of Salar's army"

"After a great war, Salar was defeated and has now fled back to Altai!"

Elinqin Daoerji's face turned cold and cursed: "You mere racist want to come and swear me? Here comes someone, drag it down and kill the sacrificial flag!"

The man was not panicked when he heard this. He stood up casually and sneered, "What are you afraid of death? I'm afraid that sweating will be ignorant!"

As he said that, he walked outside.

Elin Qin Daoerji did not stop him and cursed: "I have read too many Chinese operas. Do you think I will take your trick?"

However, the words of the Ranger still affected him.

"If there were no Qitade, Amursana would undoubtedly be defeated, but with Qitade, it would be completely different. Not to mention anything else, he could defeat Yanqi and Turpan with one brigade. How amazing is this combat power?"

"However, if Qitad assists Amursana to defeat the Qing Dynasty, how should we deal with it?"

"If I kill his ranger, wouldn't it be..."

"Slow down!", he quickly shouted out.

After a while, the racquet was back.

"I ask you, how many people do you have in total? How many people have you divided up?"

In fact, the rafter was scared and sweated a lot just now, and he never dared to control it anymore. "Khan, Amursana Khan personally led the rebel army to the east from the Kuitun River, with more than 15,000 people. Shelen Dataiji, of the Turkut tribe, came with 5,000 partial disciples from the Gilgalang River"

"Sheling?"

Elin Qindaoerji believed him, because according to the information obtained by the Qing Dynasty's detective cavalry and secret spies, there was indeed only this number under Amursana's command.

At the moment, the army is approaching, and Amursana has a chance only if he fights his life. At most, he leaves a small number of tribal cavalry in Bortala and Tarbachtai.

"Yes, in addition to the Shereng tribe, there is also a part of Truchen Khan hidden in the dark, and I don't even know where it is"

Elinqin Daoerji completely believed it at this time.

"The Qing Dynasty has hidden lines around Amursana. The two armies fought head-on. He is definitely not an opponent, but if Qitade joins, it will be different. This person has always seen the dragon's head but not the tail"

"According to the news of the Daqing Secret Line, Qitad did send a brigade here. If our troops were fighting Amursana and Qitad's tribe suddenly entered the battle group, it would be bad..."
