Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 398 Battle of Albrak (Part )
"Great Khan, this is the Olbulak Valley. If the Guards want to attack Turkestan, they must pass through it. I request you to form a formation here to stop them," Burke Khawul from the city of Turkestan suggested loudly. . The word "Hawul" means strong and fierce in Turkic language. He is indeed both strong and fierce. His iron tower-like body exudes the breath of a beast.

"No, the guards have a large number of people, as well as a large number of artillery, muskets and heavy cavalry. If they fight in formation, they will be defeated." Yang Gilhan shook his head, observed carefully, and slowly said: "I see this The mountains on both sides of the place are quite steep, so you can ambush troops on the mountains. Hadir and Hawul, you two each lead a thousand men to hide on the mountains on both sides. When the guards attack the valley, ambush them from the sides."

"Yes", the second general solemnly took the military order and led his troops to climb the mountains on both sides.

After they left, Yang Gilhan thought hard. Among the 3,600 defenders, he left 600 people to guard the city, and sent another 2,000 people to the hills on both sides. Now he only has 1,000 troops on hand. Although the valley was rugged and the terrain was favorable to him, the number of people was too small after all. How could he stop the Guards from advancing with such a small number of people?
"Great Khan, I thought we could dig trenches in the valley and let the musketeers hide in the trenches and shoot. In this way, it would be difficult for the Oirats to shoot us, but it would be easier for us to shoot them." Tulu Justen made a new suggestion.

In order to strengthen the military equipment of the Khanate, Yangir Khan purchased many muskets from Persian merchants and established a musket battalion of 650 people, commanded by Yusten, who was proficient in musket shooting tactics. Among the remaining one thousand defenders, in addition to these 650 musketeers, there were also 350 loyal and battle-experienced guards. Therefore, although the number of defenders was small, they were all brave and elite.

Although Yusten received the title "Baturu" commonly used by Mongolian warriors, he was not a Mongolian, but a Swedish, and had served in the Swedish army for many years. Later, I heard that Tsarist Russia was spending a lot of money to recruit officers with combat experience, so I came to Tsarist Russia to prospect for gold, and was sent to the East to teach the barbaric and brutal Cossack firearms tactics and expand territory for His Majesty the Great Tsar. Later, he was captured during the military conflict between Tsarist Russia and Kazakhstan.

When the overwhelming Kazakh cavalry roared towards the Russian position, he thought he was certain to die. Unexpectedly, the Kazakh general who captured him felt that his appearance was different from other Oros people, so he dedicated it as a gift to "the mighty Yangir Khan". In the Khan's tent, he met the noble man in his life. After a conversation, Yang Gilhan was moved by the firearms shooting tactics he explained and thought he was a rare talent. Not only did he become the head of a thousand households in the Kazakh Musket Camp and was given the title "Batulu", he was also rewarded with a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, cattle, sheep, horses and camels, and even two beautiful Kazakh female slaves.

The soldier died for his confidant. Yusten was moved and devoted himself to training the army for Yangir Khan. Although his musketeer battalion is small in number, it is the most elite force in the entire Kazakhstan.

Yangir Khan had always valued this Baturu very highly. After listening to his suggestion to dig trenches to defend against the enemy, he nodded and said, "Let's go, let me see where to dig the trenches."

The two men investigated carefully and finally found a place in the valley.

"Great Khan, the terrain here is sloping, the road is rugged and narrow, and it is wedged into the valley for some distance. At this point, the Guards can only attack from behind and advance intensively in the crowded mountain road, which will become the best shooting target for our army's musketeers. Moreover, because they are wedged into the valley, the ambushes you set up on both sides of the valley can better ambush them," Eusten analyzed methodically.

"It's really yours. You should be the first to win this battle." Yang Gil laughed happily and lightly punched him with his fist. Confidants all know that "Mighty Yangir Khan" only beats people with his fists when he is extremely happy.

"The honor belongs to the great Yangir Khan, I dare not take credit." Justen quickly bowed to him respectfully.

"Don't worry, I will never treat meritorious soldiers badly," Yang Gilhan promised loudly and immediately ordered his men to dig trenches.

In the face of a national crisis, the Kazakh warriors worked day and night and quickly dug out a six-mile-long trench with twists and turns, blocking the entrance road.

"Erect the shield," Yang Gilhan ordered. He equipped all his soldiers with large shields. Although they were protected by trenches, he knew very well how powerful the archers of the Guards were. With the protection of shields, they could withstand the rain of arrows. Seeing shields raised one after another, he felt relieved, and placed a guard holding an ax between each two musketeers, responsible for killing the guards who broke into the trenches. After completing this, he urged his subordinates to plant fences in front of the trenches, spread more thorns, and dig more horse pits.

After doing this, the "mighty and majestic Yangir Khan" silently wiped his Yilite sword and waited for the arrival of the guards.

David's cavalry arrived. Although there were only more than 17,000 people, they were deployed in a "Haizi Formation" that had no fixed formation, gathered and dispersed, like waves in the sea. This kind of formation with three or five people spread out as a small team, there is reality in the virtual, and virtual in the reality. Ten thousand people can spread the momentum of millions of people. Therefore, the Kazakhs could not accurately judge their number. In the eyes of Yangir Khan, the opponent had at least 50,000 people.

Fearless, he pulled out his Khan Sword and shouted loudly, "Warriors, behind you is Turkestan, where your parents and relatives are. For them and for Kazakhstan, I order you to fight to the death."

The guard passed his order to all the trenches. After hearing this, the Kazakh warriors all clenched their swords and guns with determination on their faces.

The air was filled with a strong atmosphere of murder, and the Oirat War God Suletan came to the battlefield.

"Stop!" Qingpiaopiao stopped his army with just one word. They were well-trained and trained like a finger.

The God of War picked up the telescope in his hand and observed carefully. The more he looked at it, the more solemn his expression became.

"Great Khan, the terrain here is complicated, and there are few flying birds on the hills on both sides. We must be careful of enemy ambush," Tegus reminded Ketu. After fighting one battle after another, the guards officers and soldiers have experienced hundreds of battles and have rich battlefield experience.

"Well, Ke Ling En, Batu, and Bayar will each lead two thousand troops to guard against both sides." Sultan nodded slowly. Soldiers are crafty. Anything can happen on the battlefield, so be careful. wrong. Suddenly he asked the generals: "This valley is rugged, narrow and steep. It is difficult for our army to attack from above. Is there any way to lure the enemy out of the valley?"

No one has any good ideas, so they all offer suggestions: "I heard that Yang Gil Khan was nicknamed 'The Mighty Yang Gil Khan'. He must be a brave and foolhardy person. It is better to send someone to insult him and provoke him." He goes to war.”

"Well, forcing is a solution. You can find someone to try." Suletan ordered calmly.
