"That is to say, we were taken around a big detour?" Ma Wanli's face was a little ugly.

Qu Pei, chief of the Tibetan Guomi tribe, said: "These Mongols may want to go back to Qinghai Lake, or even attack Xining City!"

Ma Wanli looked up at the towering Kunlun Mountains, and at the narrow river valley ahead. He really wanted to lead his troops to continue chasing him, but he was afraid of being ambushed in the middle of the valley.

Moreover, I was worried that the Mongols would really kill Qinghai Lake.Of course the Datong army staying there is not afraid, but the camps of various ethnic groups are dangerous!

Looking back, Ma Fangli found that the leaders of all the ministries were worried about Zhong, especially Guo Mi and Ah Rou.Because if the Mongols were really killed,

These two Tibetan tribes were bound to be attacked.

"Da da da da!

A small group of sentry cavalry rushed over: "General, more than [-] miles to the east, we found a large number of Mongolian tribesmen and countless livestock transporting wealth.

East?

Ma Wanli was a little confused, he just came from the east.

It doesn't matter, since there are enemies coming to the door, they should be wiped out quickly!

When Ma Fangli led his troops to rush, Handu faced the sentry cavalry of the Datong Army,

The whole person is in a forced state.There are about [-] subordinates under him, and only [-] are capable of fighting. He abandoned Kham and turned thousands of miles away, intending to come to Qinghai to join his friendly forces.

How come you ran into the Han army before you had just arrived in the Kunlun Mountains?

There are several Mongolian armies in Qinghai. Even if they don't fight by Qinghai Lake, they should fight in Haixi Grassland. It is impossible to come here.

The sudden encounter left the generals on both sides scratching their heads.

And Huang Yao, who is far away in Yushu, is still having a headache at this moment, and he doesn't know where Handu has gone.He never expected that his opponent would turn thousands of miles in,

Actually sent the military exploits to Ma Wanli.

"Put on armor, put on armor!

Han Du hurriedly shouted.

The Mongolian soldiers under the demon have already been on the move, taking armor from the spare horses and putting them on.

Selemo said: "Father, there may be an army of Han Chinese near here, we should fight in another place, otherwise we may be surrounded.

Han said in a bad mood: "You don't want the tribe, livestock and goods?"

Because of the methodical retreat, Kandu took everything he could from Kham with him.There are more than 2000 cattle alone, more than 1 goats and sheep, and even more than [-] horses (including crossbow horses for transporting goods).

Handufenfu's son said: "Take your people and livestock, go back to the valley where you came back, unload your wealth and food, and block the valley entrance for me. If you can't block it, kill sheep and cattle to block it. Wait until I kill everything in front of you." The enemy army will join you in the past.

"Yes! Celermo hurriedly carried out the task.

When the soldiers under the devil finished dressing up, Handu drew his sword and rushed out: "Kill all the Han soldiers!"

There are very few Datong Sentinels here, only a hundred or so.

As they assigned their hands to pass the message, they blew their horns to call for friendly troops, and at the same time they slammed their horsewhips to tell them to run away.

Handu took all the cavalry with him, even boys of twelve or thirteen years old,

Chasing towards those Datong Sentinel Cavalry.He didn't want to fight a decisive battle, but to buy time for the troops to retreat.

"Boom!"

It seemed that the ground was trembling, and at least tens of thousands of cavalry came to kill them.

The terrifying sound of horseshoes from the west made Handu's eyes widen in shock, and he shouted: "Withdraw, retreat!

Handu ran back with his troops and caught up with his son on the way. He angrily said, "Why are you so slow?"

Selemo cried and said, "There are too many animals, so I can't walk fast.

Everyone stopped in place, and it was too late to escape.There are only two options now, fight to the death or surrender.

Replaced with six Jibaturs, [-]% chose to surrender.

But Handu is a person with a strong personality. At most, he will be forced to retreat and will never surrender. Even if he dies, he will die on the battlefield.

"Heshuote warriors, charge with me!"

Handu even led more than 4000 cavalry to kill more than 2 coalition forces of various ministries without hesitation.

However, there are only a few hundred people who really come from the Pegatron Special Department.

Most of the remaining soldiers were recruited from the local Mongols in Qinghai, and there were even a small number of descendants of Lin Dan Khan's tribe (from outside Zhangjiakou).

These people are willing to follow Handu to die?

Ma Fangli put down the binoculars and commanded calmly: "The cavalry of all ethnic groups in Qinghai, spread out on both wings to find an opportunity to cover up the attack. The cavalry of Datong is in the center, preparing for a wall charge. The cavalry of Xiao is covering the cavalry on both sides, and the cavalry of all ethnic groups leads the cavalry to surround them !"

The flags were waved wildly, and the trumpet sounded loudly.

When the hussars and valiant cavalry lined up, the dragoons had already led the coalition forces of various races to the two sides.

"Small, broken, broken!"

"Shhhhhhh!"

The front has not yet engaged in battle, and the muskets and bows and arrows on both sides are already firing.

Those Mongolian soldiers who were not from the Heshuo Special Department slowed down as they rushed forward, and the timid ones even turned their horses and ran away.

The terrifying cavalry wall began to move, and under the cover of the cavalry on both sides,

He rushed towards the thousands of cavalrymen in Handu.As the distance got closer, more Mongolian cavalry slowed down, and even Handu's son Selemo escaped.

In the end, there were only a hundred or so riders left, and they rushed together with Wang Handu, both of them are brave warriors who are not afraid of death.

But even so, facing the dense wall charge, Handu also showed a look of panic, subconsciously slowing down and going around to the side.

At this moment, the cavalry guarding on both sides suddenly rushed out at full speed.

Like a huge wave, it instantly submerged more than a hundred riders of Handu, and even before Handu had time to swing his knife, he was poked off his horse by a pawn.

The dragoons and the coalition forces of various ethnic groups on the periphery of the battlefield took the opportunity to chase and kill those Mongolian defeated soldiers.

Ma Wanli shouted: "Send the order, surrender!"

The horn sounded again, and the Mongolian Datong cavalry shouted that the descendants would not die.But with little effect, the Mongols fled in panic, and the coalition forces of various ministries chased them desperately.

After chasing to the place where the Mongolian tribes and livestock gathered, many coalition cavalry stopped and swung their knives at the old and weak women and children.They were fed up with the oppression of the Mongols, and now they not only want revenge, but also plan to kill all the Mongols,

Good to occupy the pastures left by the Mongols.

"No indiscriminate killing!"

Ma Wanli sent troops to stop them, but hundreds of Mongolian old and weak women and children had been hacked and killed, and all those who could ride horses were fleeing in panic.

In the end, there were only a thousand survivors, mostly women and children.

The imperial court has ordered that some Mongols must be kept. The more ethnic groups in Qinghai, the better, and try to let the forces of various ethnic groups check each other.

The few Mongolian cavalrymen fled into the southeast valley in a panic,

Because it was too narrow, the fallen horse trampled on each other and hundreds of people died.There were only four or five hundred riders left, and they managed to escape back to Kangzang. The rest were killed, and about 2000 people were captured.

Selemo was escorted to Ma Fangli, knelt down and cried, "General, please forgive me. I have never killed a Han soldier!

Ma Fangli said kindly: "Go and gather the cavalry and clansmen, don't worry, they won't kill you, and they will allocate grassland for you.

"Really?" Selemo couldn't believe it, and then he was ecstatic.

Chapter 911 [The Split Yarkand]

Except for the unlucky Handu who was left behind, the rest of the Mongolian tribes in Qinghai really ran away.

They crossed the Dangjin Pass and came to the Aksay Kazakh Autonomous County hundreds of years later.But at this time, Aksai was not the residence of the Kazakhs.

Most of the people living are Tibetans, and there are also a small number of Mongolians and Sari Weiyuaner (Yugu)

These common people belonged to Handongwei in the early Ming Dynasty, and their successive commanders were all Mongolian nobles.

During the reign of Zhengde, Handongwei declined, and all the ministries fled to Jiayuguan.

They were allocated and resettled by officials of the Ming Dynasty, and only a small amount remained in the original site.For the next 100 years, because the Aksai area was too poor, the rulers of all ethnic groups did not take it seriously.

At present, Babai Khan rules the Turpan region, and Muhanmatisha and Zhuo rule the Hami region.

Buddhists who refused to convert were either killed or fled.But on Axel's side, no one has stepped on them, and they just let them pay tribute and taxes.

Uzier led more than 7 Mongolian tribesmen, easily crossed the Dangjin Pass, and immediately took a few monks to contact the local chiefs of various ethnic groups.

Under the auspices of the monks and the arrogance of the cavalry, thousands of people of all ethnic groups who believed in Buddhism all supported Dayan Khan Ozir.And gathered a thousand troops to fight with Oqier, and rushed to Dangcheng (Subei County) in a hurry.

On the side of Dangcheng, I saw some small Mongolian tribes living scattered, with a total of 3000 to [-] people, and they were also unable to resist the Mongolian army.

Moreover, they were fed up with the oppression of Muhanmaitisha and Zhuo, and even forced them to change religions. This time, they simply followed Ozir's rebellion and counted the ball.

Continuing along the Dang Hebei, it is Dunhuang!

"kill!"

Here in Dunhuang, there is no city wall, and the lord's name is Ebedura.

Ebedura, the first Hami king conferred by the Qing dynasty.At this time, not only did he not claim the title of king or khan, but even Domhan Maitisha and Zhuo were only Hami Burke (similar to a high-ranking official) appointed by Babai Khan.

Although Turpan and Hami were the territories of the Yarkand Khanate, they were actually in a state of separatism.

Erbedura was eating melons in Hami when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes and shouts of killing from the south.Without saying anything, he went to put on his armor and went out to check what was going on, but he saw his soldiers fleeing with wolf beards. Some soldiers were wearing armor, and some soldiers didn't even have time to put on the armor.

"What's the matter?" Erbedura asked an officer and said, "The Mongols have come from the south!"

"Come on!"

Abedura took his wife and children, and several hundred remnants of soldiers, and galloped towards Hami on horseback.

They are all Mongolians. Although they have different beliefs, the ability to run is engraved in their genes.There was no city in Dunhuang, and when the enemy came suddenly, Erbedura had no time to gather his troops, so he had to flee to Hami city first.

Galdan, who was 12 years old, was charging on horseback at this moment, and there were quite a few cavalrymen of his age.

They chased and hacked the aliens along the way, as long as they didn't kneel and surrender, even innocent people would be killed.As for those who surrendered, those who would convert would not die,

Those who do not want to be converted are made slaves.

It's a pity that Ebedura ran too fast and didn't meet Galdan.

Historically, Galdan destroyed Yarkand and conferred Ebedura as Darkhan.After the victory of the Qing army, Ebedura turned against the trend and was canonized as the first-class Zasak by the Qing court.

But Ebedura fled back to Hami, and when he saw his father, he said: "The Mongols are coming, quickly recall Balikun's troops, and hurry to Turpan for help!"

Some of the elite main forces here are stationed in Hami, and some are stationed in Balikun.

Balikun was originally inhabited by Mongols, and it was Heshuot Mongolia, who belonged to the same family as the Mongols in Qinghai.Gushri Khan borrowed troops to conquer Qinghai-Tibet,

But the tribe who stayed in Balikun was killed by Babai Khan and left the station.

Those who did not leave all converted.

Muhanmaitixia and Zhuo were surprised: "Is it the Mongols from Qinghai?"

Abedura said, "Probably so.

The father and son quickly sent envoys, first to Balikun in the north to recall the troops, and second to Turpan in the west to ask for reinforcements.

Less than half a day after the envoy left, [-] Mongolian vanguard troops arrived.

At this time, the city of Hami was very small, but the Mongols were not good at attacking the city, so they could only loot around the city.

When Balikun's reinforcements arrived, Ozir also brought the main force of Mongolia, and the two sides faced off a few miles north of Hami City.

Those troops in Balikun are all fanatics from southern Xinjiang.At the beginning, Babai Khan and Muhan Mai Tixia Hezhuo really couldn't beat the Mongols, so they went to southern Xinjiang to bring these people to fight jihad.

The Mongols were driven away, but the fanatics did not leave, and the leader even became the lord of Balikun.I don't pay much tax at ordinary times, and become a separatist force.The specifics are as follows: Lord Balikun is a vassal of Hami Burke, Hami Burke is a vassal of King Turpan Khan, and King Turpan Khan is a vassal of King Yarkand—all belong to the separatist regime!

The Balikun fanatic army is small in number, only more than 3000 riders, but all of them are wearing solid armor.

After a short standoff, the Balikun cavalry took the initiative to attack, attacking the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry on the flank.

The Mongolian cavalry originally planned to follow the tradition, shoot arrows back and forth first, and then rush to kill at the right time.But the Balikun cavalry didn't care, they just rushed forward, some of them were hit by arrows, but they were still charging.

Not to mention the backward equipment, the Mongolian cavalry lost in momentum.

Facing the charge of more than 3000 enemies, tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers subconsciously dispersed and avoided, trying to keep a distance and continue flying kites and archery.

The Balikun cavalry rushed too fast, and more than 1000 Mongolian cavalry were bitten, and they were rushed to pieces in an instant.Batur, who was next to him, led several thousand cavalry to encircle him. After the Balikun cavalry broke through the formation, they accelerated towards Batur again.

Those on the list were afraid of death, more than 3000 Balikun reinforcements, only more than 200 people died in battle, so that they broke through the resistance of the Mongolian army and ran all the way to the city of Hami.
