The beggar emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty - Chapter 582
On the vast grassland, a small stream divided the two armies into two pieces.
To the east of the river is more than 100000 cavalry led by Lu Xiangsheng. Looking around, all the dark horses are like a torrent more than ten miles long. It seems that they will step across the stream at any time.
The West Bank is home to more than 100000 ethnic people from Jungar department. It is huge and the scene is equally spectacular, but it is slightly more depressing than the east bank.
The two sides were more than ten miles apart, and no one set up camp. After meeting, they just took a break, not even the horse.
Lu Xiangsheng and the 5000 Han cavalry looked moved when they saw that women and children accounted for more than half of the other team.
However, the Mongolian cavalry are not surprised at this scene. Their army is pressing the border. The women and children of Jungar Department don’t go together. Do they stay in the tribe and go to capture and kill when they win?
So instead of letting these women stay in the tribe and finally be robbed and the children above the wheel are killed, it’s better to fight to the death.
Although the arrow was on the line and had to be launched, Batur sent envoys to try his best to negotiate peace.
As long as the Qin army is willing to retreat, their Zhungeer department is willing to submit to the Qin Dynasty in the future, and offer 10000 cattle and horses, 2000 women and ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
Such conditions are abundant. I’m afraid no nomadic tribe would agree unless he was forced into a desperate situation. Lu Xiangsheng wanted to agree. After all, once a war broke out, there would be a river of blood. However, Qin Huan’s orders did not allow him to agree.
Although he was thousands of miles away, Qin Huan was not an ordinary emperor. He knew that if he dared to disobey orders, he would never want to go back to the Central Plains in this life.
Therefore, they directly rejected the conditions of the Batur peace talks. They did not want cattle, sheep, women, gold, silver and jewelry. If the Jungar department did not want blood to flow into a river, it had to lay down its weapons and surrender unconditionally.
Once the nomadic people put down their knives, it means they become lambs to be slaughtered and let each other kill. How can Batur agree to such conditions?
Lu Xiangsheng was not wordy. They had no logistics supplies or stations. They could not afford or delay. They had to defeat the Jungar department at one stroke. There was no other way.
So at the command, in the long sound of the horn, more than 100000 cavalry, waving their machetes, launched a charge.
100000 male cavalry came first, 80000 female cavalry came back, 10000 cavalry as a unit, and all the 5000 Han cavalry were gathered around by Lu Xiangsheng. Obviously, they didn’t intend to rush together.
“Ow, ow…”
“Warriors, kill all these traitors!”
“Rush!”
Step, step
Seeing the other party start charging, Batur’s red eyes pulled out his machete and roared. Although he knew that after the war, the Jungar department was afraid to be over, at least there was a glimmer of vitality. If there was no war, there would be no chance.
The horn sounded.
More than 100000 war horses also began to trot. Everyone waved machetes, including those women and children, closely followed their father and husband.
More than ten miles, the infantry may have to walk for most of the day, but the cavalry arrived in the blink of an eye. The teams of both sides pulled out for several miles, and the speed of the cavalry running in front has been completely raised.
There is no circuitous encirclement and joint attack. Under such a large number of cavalry battles, no tactics can work except to rush and kill each other.
Boom
As the leading cavalry of both sides collided together, the situation was out of control, and there were people everywhere for a time.
Countless cavalry crossed at the same speed. They waved their machetes left and right. More of them fell to the ground. The cavalry fell off and was trampled into meat and mud.
This war is doomed to be bloody and fierce, because it is not only full of cavalry, but also unprecedented in scale. On the one hand, it is the Jungar Department fighting for survival, and on the other hand, it is the Mongolian warriors who come all the way and only kill the enemy and make contributions.
Compared with the infantry, the duel between the cavalry is also very fast. In just a quarter of an hour, the armies of both sides crisscross and stand on horses to fight. It’s impossible. All the cavalry want to rush out of this meat grinding battlefield as fast as possible.
However, although the cavalry teams on both sides were not dense, nearly half of them fell on the way to the charge. In a short time, the earth was dyed red, and the river became a river of blood.
Just a charge, the Jungar Department lost nearly 70000 people, of which 30000 were warriors in front, 40000 women, girls and children, and the remaining 80000 had no ability to fight again.
Even if Batur wanted to gather troops and horses again and rush back, no one wanted to, because there were only 20000 real warriors left, and the others were women, girls, children and old people. They were already frightened and uncertain, urging the horses under their crotch to run away.
Although he knew there was no way out, Batur still had to run with him.
The Qin army also lost a full 50000 people, but the adult cavalry still occupied the majority, and the children were none. Naturally, they would not be frightened. Seeing the other party escape without Lu Xiangsheng’s order, they all turned their horses around the battlefield and chased them from the flank.
In the next few days, wolves chasing sheep were playing on the grassland thousands of miles around. Countless Junggar tribes ran away in panic.
It was not only the Qin army that pursued and killed them, but also the Heshuote department and durbert department who took advantage of the fire.
The grassland where Junggar lived was completely dyed red. Compared with Heshuote and durbert, they would also receive prisoners. Qin Yu’s Mongolian warriors fully implemented the laws of the grassland.
Men are killed when they are higher than the wheel, while women are prisoners. The elderly and children are allowed to live and die.
The scene was out of control for a time, and Lu Xiangsheng was helpless, because the scattered troops could not be contacted. There were more than 10000 Mongolian cavalry and 5000 Han soldiers around him, staying in the Khan City, bokseri, Zhunger (now boksail Autonomous County, Mongolia)
Yes, as early as a few years ago, Batur established the Junggar Khanate and promulgated relevant laws, but the capital has not been built yet.
Now it has completely disappeared.
Only in the first World War, the Zhungeer department, which dominated MoSi, was beaten to the brink of destruction.
Because apart from Batur, who escaped westward with more than 30000 ethnic groups, more than 100000 other ethnic groups were either killed or annexed. Even the 30000 ethnic groups led by Batur, whether they could escape in the end, is still a matter of two.
Because there is also a turhute department in the West and a more powerful tsarist Russia, in the face of them, the remnant of Jungar department is undoubtedly the existence of mermaid flesh.
Although the powerful Jungar division was killed in World War I, Lu Xiangsheng was not very happy because their situation became more dangerous.
The Heshuote department, which occupied the western regions in the south, and the durbert department in the West began to join hands to kill bokeseri. Although the two sides combined only 50000 cavalry, the Qin army was scattered everywhere. Lu Xiangsheng sent a large number of cavalry to contact, but so far more than 10000 people have returned. Others don’t know where to enjoy their happiness.
