Xinshun 1730

Chapter 197
The death of Xiaoce Lingdunduobu caused the cavalry of the Zhunbu to attack the Chinese army to collapse completely.

However, there was no place to escape, there were dense gunshots all around, and square formations were all around the place visible to the naked eye.

Who knows who shouted the news of the death of Cering Dunduobu in Mongolian, like the ebb tide of the sea, and the cavalry inserted in the gaps of the phalanx scurry around like headless flies.

On the hill, the dynamics of the battlefield were fully reflected in Liu Yu's eyes.

The counterattack on the southern front had already begun. The light cavalry led by Jiaolaobutu attacked the cavalry of the Zhunbu who had lost their impact from the side, and the cavalry of the Zhunbu retreated.

The two battalions that formed a phalanx quickly converted into a column, followed behind the cavalry and rushed forward at full speed, piercing straight into the flanks of the army of the army.

After a round of volley fire, the three battalions on the front line started a counterattack pursuit, driving the retreating enemy infantry like sheep.

The two supporting battalions also used the tactics of a column attack, inserted in along the gap, and quickly expanded into a horizontal formation, completely dividing the southern wing of the quasi-headquarters.

The more than 4000 cavalry of the Chinese army, without a command, scurry around in the seven squares like headless chickens.

The confident infantry displayed the fastest rate of fire, and kept throwing lead bullets on the scurrying cavalry. Even if they escaped now, it would be a question of how much they could retreat.

On the northern line, all the reserve teams concentrated by Liu Yu attacked in columns. The grenadiers who were best at hand-to-hand combat did not throw grenades.

The rest of the line soldiers also surrounded the flanks of the quasi-headquarters with a marching speed that was impossible before the infantry phalanx.

Both the north and south flanks were clamped, and the phalanx of the Chinese army stuck to the last elite cavalry of the quasi-corps, and a dumpling had already been wrapped.

The artillery on the hillside slammed at the chaotic Zhunbu army at full speed, and Dace Ling Dunduobu had no power to recover.

The Qingzhou army's five hundred light cavalry rushed along the gap opened by the grenadiers, staring at the big banner of Dace Lingdunduobu.

The light cavalry of Jiaolaobutu also knew what the big banner meant, and carried forward the good tradition of "fighting for success with the wind and grabbing the head, I am the fastest, don't talk to me about cavalry coordination", and the retreating cavalry who pressed the quasi-horsemen also moved towards Squeeze against the big banner of Lingdun Duobu.

The last two battalions of the Chinese Army had disarmed the phalanx and were advancing.The two phalanxes that were hit the hardest in the front did not collapse, and still maintained their organizational system.

The outcome is only in this short quarter of an hour.

The subsequent battles were nothing more than boring pursuits.The cavalry who have already killed red eyes and are grabbing credit will not give the Zhunbu a chance to regroup.

Liu Yu shouted, and the adjutant poured two glasses of wine.

Let the adjutant give a cup to Boris, the Russian special envoy next to him.

"Mr. Boris, let's make a toast to the future division of Central Asia between China and Russia. I hope you will not make unwise moves on the Irtysh River."

Boris, who had witnessed the easy end of the battle, also smiled, touched Liu Yu and said, "General, congratulations on your victory. Your victory proves one thing: apart from deserts, snow mountains and hunger, you There are no other enemies here."

Smiling on his face, he drank the glass of wine bitterly in his heart. Boris knew that Russia had to make concessions in the upcoming border negotiations.

Otherwise, the person in front of him who knows the situation in Europe well will definitely take advantage of the opportunity of the war between Russia and Turkey to get what he wants at the negotiating table.

Russia has no such infantry.

Maybe the horizontal team will not lose the wind, but the Russian army does not have such a speed of change and the ability to march quickly.

In less than ten years, Dashun might have an army of 20 or even [-].

The logistical capabilities and wealth that Dashun has shown that shocked Russia have made Boris clear that at least on the issue of Central Asia in the future, the title of "King of Kings" that was mentioned when the Selenga River was talking about it , really coming back.

Before there are no other countries occupying India, most of the problems in Central Asia will be resolved at the negotiating table between China and Russia.

Boris knew that Dashun's artillery had never been a shortcoming, and the cavalry had Mongols and Qingqi on the Songhua River, so that was not a shortcoming either.

The biggest shortcoming in the past was the infantry, and in this battle, Dashun has made up for the shortcoming of the infantry, and even left Russia far behind.

This glass of strong wine was bitter, but he had to swallow it with a smile.

Russia can't take anyone from the quasi-ministerial, at least not right now.

Russia is still at war with France for the throne of Poland, and it will soon have another war with Turkey, and it is impossible to add another huge enemy.

Perhaps it is a better choice to divide their respective spheres of influence on the map and carve up Central Asia.

Boris put down his wine glass, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was twelve o'clock at noon.

"General Liu, you should remember this time. The Junggar Khanate, at this moment, has become history."

"No, Mr. Boris, you should say that the Junggar rebels have been suppressed."

…………

Da Ce Ling Dunduobu knew that he had lost the battle the moment he realized that the cavalry could not rush the Qingzhou Army's central army.

In other words, the Junggar Khanate he was loyal to died.

Everything else is meaningless. As long as this battle is not a big victory, even if there are only mutual casualties, it will be a disaster for Junggar.

The strategic intention has been exposed, the goal has not been achieved, the strategy of survival has failed, and Junggar has no chance.

When this battle is over, don't think about it, the army on the southern front will go straight to Luntai to build the city, and the army on the northern front will also cross the Altai Mountains, and the most elite headquarters of Zhunbu will all fall.

Even if tens of thousands of remnant soldiers and herdsmen can be assembled, it is meaningless.

The infantry on the opposite side was the scariest infantry he had ever seen.

The super mobility and the speed of changing formations made him feel desperate for the musket. Since then, thousands of Han troops have been able to walk sideways in the valley of the Western Regions.

Go deep alone?If you can beat it, you can go deep into the lonely army, but if you can't beat it, you can call the center to blossom.

Times have changed, and no Mongolian tribe can reproduce the glory of Genghis Khan.

The subordinates all knew that it had failed, and someone whispered: "Let's withdraw. We lost."

Dace Lingdunduobu looked at the sun at noon and asked, "Where should we retreat? Where can we retreat?"

"To the north is the castle of the Raksha people; to the west is the Turghut tribe and the Kazakhs. Are we going to move our family westward to join the Turghut people? It’s just doing things for the Russians. If we stay here, we can still believe in our religion, and if we go over there, we will all be Orthodox Christians?”

The sound of gunfire and shouts of killing is getting closer, and the infantry tactics that have never been seen before have completed the outflanking on both wings with an unprecedented advance speed.

Da Ce Ling Dunduobu had never fought with Dashun's infantry, but Dashun's infantry advanced very slowly, and there was no chance of outflanking them.

The matchlock gunner cannot act alone, and has to wait for the spearman behind to cover.Spearmen must form formations and not rush indiscriminately.Even if there was a gap, by the time the phalanx moved over, the fighters would have long since disappeared.

In previous battles with Dashun, Dashun relied on forming formations to resist, and the musketeers and artillery bombarded fiercely. After blasting out of the gap, they rushed in through the gap with armored heavy steps or light cavalry.

Most of the time it's a rout.

But the infantry in front of them walked much faster than the spear formation, and they were lined up in a line 25 and six people wide, and they were also much faster than the line of arquebus gunners.

After finding the gap, they will quickly form a horizontal line, and after a salvo, they will rush forward like sheep; or the column will not spread out at all, and will charge after the front row shoots a volley, rush out of the gap, and then spread out as a whole team.

Then, blowing the flute and suona and beating the waist drum, he stepped forward.

There is no way to crack such a rigid tactic.

Both wings have collapsed.Dace Ling Dunduobu really didn't expect that the infantry could also play out the tactics of outflanking the two wings. He thought that there were not many cavalry of the Han army on the opposite side, and at most it could be a rout battle.

In the distance, the cavalry of the Han people had already rushed towards this side, and if they didn't leave, they would have no chance.

The front line completely collapsed, the shaken soldiers fled back frantically, and groups of riders fled backwards, leaving only more than 2000 people around Dace Lingdunduobu.

Those musketeers were not the opponents of the Han army musketeers at all. Without the cover of cavalry and infantry, the arquebus gunners were just a flock of sheep.

It's all over.

Dace Lingdunduobu sighed, and said to his subordinates, Taiji and Zaisang, "You go. I want to find a way for our people to survive. You go."

No one questioned the courage of Da Ce Ling Dunduobu, and no one questioned his loyalty, but the way to survive... the way to survive for the tribe, what does it mean?
"Let's go, you all retreat, go to the Great Khan and gather the remnants."

"how about you?"

Dace Lingdunduobu didn't speak, and asked someone to support his big banner, closed his eyes, and said firmly but helplessly: "Find a way of life for our people. Let's go, go to Shannan, and return to Yili."

The rest of the people knew that if they didn't leave, it would be too late.

Although they didn't know what their respected master Ling Dunduobu was going to do, he still obeyed his order and withdrew all the troops that could be assembled.

Around the big banner, there were only more than 200 cavalrymen left.

Those Han Chinese cavalry who were robbing for merit rushed towards the position of the big banner like crazy, and their followers formed the final formation, repelling several waves of Qing cavalry who were about to rob for merit.

In the distance, a troop of cavalry was gathering there, attracting more chaotic cavalry to approach.The leader was wearing the armor worn by generals. Dace Ling Dunduobu saw that the man was very brave, and just now he killed three cavalrymen by himself.

The last two hundred entourages were not afraid of more and more enemies, and wanted to make the last attack with Da Ce Ling Dunduobu.

The armored cavalry in the distance hacked to death two quasi-troop cavalry, his movements were neat, he was a brave general.

Da Ce Ling Dunduobu looked at the distant and unreachable hills, and instead of choosing the final charge, he asked someone to hold a big banner and came to the opposite side of the assembled cavalry.

The cavalry on both sides distanced themselves, as if they were about to make a final charge.

Dace Lingdunduobu was convinced that there must be someone on the opposite side who understood Mongolian, and he shouted: "I am Dace Lingdunduobu, and I want to see your general Liu Yu!"

Jiaolaobutu's heart was beating wildly, this person in front of him was Dace Lingdunduobu?

He could understand Mongolian, but now he pretended not to understand.

Captured the general of the quasi-bu, and the general of the quasi-bu took the initiative to go to see the main general, can it be the same credit?
It's the same for the main general Liu Yu, but it's different for him.

He wanted to pretend that he didn't understand, but there was another person who could speak Chinese shouting on the opposite side: "This is Da Ce Ling Dunduobu, I want to see your general Liu Yu."

Jiaolao Butu cursed inwardly, this damn thing can't even pretend not to understand.

However, several military officers nearby shouted: "This must be a plan for the enemy to slow down the troops! My lord, you must not believe it!"

Jiaolao Butu has a wonderful heart, he has been away from Zhechong mansion for a long time, and he has been dealing with the group of Yelinzi tribe who sell leather all day long, but he has even forgotten such a method.

He drew out his saber, and was about to take advantage of the situation to say that this was the enemy's tactic to delay the attack. Dace Lingdunduobu dismounted on his own initiative, dropped the saber, pointed at Jiaolaobutu and said, "You are a warrior, and I am your prisoner." Yes. Take me to see your general."
