The hill on the left seemed to be steep, but there were only three or four hundred people on it, and they piled up a lot of gravel on the top of the hill to prevent the Ming army from forcibly climbing the mountain.

However, this mountain is bare, and there are excellent shooting angles on both sides, so the Ming army doesn't need to attack with their lives at all, they just need to shoot a wave calmly at the bottom of the mountain, and the people above don't even have a place to hide!

It can be said that no matter who the Ming army sends to hit the mountain on the left, as long as the legs and feet are sound, they can easily climb the mountain, and they can properly have hands!

Just as Zhu Daneng repeatedly asked for battle, he suddenly heard a chaotic sound of guns in the northwest direction, which was completely different from the musket sound of the Ming army.

Everyone was shocked, and looked at the place where the guns rang out, only to see puffs of smoke and dust behind the verdant mountains.

Zhu Heqi shouted: "Pass the order, the whole brigade will quickly move eastward, be fast!" ”

Judging by the sound of gunfire, this is definitely not put by ordinary herdsmen, but an organized army!

Looking at the smoke and dust on that side, I think there must be an enemy brigade here!

Zhu Heqi was keenly aware of the fact that this matter was not simple for the first time, and a trace of anxiety appeared on his face for the first time.

Until now, the 5,000 men and horses of the royal brigade are still in the valley, and if they are besieged and attacked, the terrain here is extremely unfavorable for our army!

Zhu Daneng agreed, and flew away, and the four hundred armor soldiers of the Han King's guard battalion were all fully armed and on high alert, guarding around Zhu Heyuan.

After a while, when the regiments heard the order, they quickly advanced towards the gap in the east, completely ignoring the thousands of herdsmen who had just appeared.

In the northwest direction, the gunfire gradually subsided, but the smoke and dust were getting more and more, getting thicker and thicker, and I thought that the night ahead could not be resisted!

In the blue sky, the sun glows white, and the tranquil mountains and forests look like an earthquake.

In the surrounding dense forest, suddenly a flock of birds rose to the sky, flying wildly in the sky, and there was a noise.

The 5,000 Ming army had almost gone, while the thousands of herdsmen were still on the surrounding cliffs, staring blankly at the panicked flock of birds in the sky.

An old herdsman looked at his head man seriously and said calmly: "Head man, I think the Ming army looks down on us. ”

The head man also said calmly: "You be confident, get rid of the ......"

The corners of the old herdsman's mouth twitched and asked, "Then what should we do?" Chasing? ”

The leader said confidently: "Don't worry...... There is a great sweat catching turtles in the outer urn, and they can't run away! ”

Outside the exit on the eastern side of Alglert Mountain, there is a flat and wide area, surrounded by fine meadows, with occasional bushes and rolling hills.

At this time, a large number of Mongol armies lined up here, behind the hills, in the river valleys, in the woods, there were more Mongol horses running from afar, and the horses' hooves stepped on the river water, making a loud noise.

The new Great Khan of the Dzungar Ministry, Drat Babatur, stood on a hill, staring at the gap in the valley in the distance with wolf-like eyes.

He was the second son of Batur Huntaiji, the half-brother of the monk who became the king of Dzungar Khan, and the half-brother of Kaldan.

As early as the twelfth year of Tianwu, when the canonization edict of the Ming Emperor arrived in Dzungaria, he picked his son on the spot to compete with the monk for the inheritance, and also united his brother Chechnya to fight the monk.

In the end, due to the Ming Dynasty's expedition to the Western Capital Protectorate to support the monks, after the battle of the Emin River, Zhuot Babatur was weak, and was forced to recognize the legal status of the monks in the Dzungar department.

In the past two years, the contradictions between the two sides intensified again, and with the support of Tsarist Russia, Zhuot Babatur once again united with his brother Chechnya to attack and kill the Khan King Sangge, and finally succeeded, killed the Sangge, and established himself as the new Khan.

In the heart of Zhuot Babatur, he is a descendant of the twenty-eighth Mongolian Great Khan Yexian, with a sacred bloodline, why is he dominated by the Ming people?

Thinking that back then, the ancestors also captured Emperor Ming in Tumubao and attacked Beijing, what a scenery it was, as his descendants, he should not live so poorly!

Now, this Ming emperor dared to conquer Moxi in person, and what was even more rampant was that he actually sent a milky prince to pacify Dzungaria, which was simply unexpected!

Zhuot Babatur, who was originally going to besiege the northern army with the coalition army, heard the news, and hurriedly led his troops back to Dzungaria, came to besiege and kill the son of Emperor Ming, intending to create another Tumu Fort.

The Dog Emperor is far away in Ili, and there are strong troops around him, so it is difficult to start, so Zhuot Babatur can only bully his son!

Zot Babatur raised his hand slightly, and immediately a Mongolian leader walked behind him, leaning over to obey the order.

He asked in a cold voice, "Are the artillery ready?" ”

The leader said: "Back to the Great Khan, eighty artillery pieces have been prepared!" Just wait for the Ming army to come out of the valley, and the Great Khan will give an order, and they will be made to cry and call their mother! ”

Zhuot Babatur nodded slightly, with a wicked smile on his face, waved his hand and said, "Well, go and prepare!" ”

At first glance, Dzungaria's territory belongs to the "barren northwest region", but in fact, this place is a treasure trove for the development of firearms.

Not only is there fertile water and grassland and prosperous commerce within its borders, but the Central Asian region adjacent to the west is also an important period for the development of firearms.

The Dzungar armies of the 17th century were very different from ordinary Mongol armies, they had a deep imprint of Central Asian armies, and their firearms tactics completely copied the Uzbek routine of "first bird cannon, second shot, second stab".

There are also a large number of Central Asian firearms craftsmen and elite soldiers, directly joined the combat troops in Dzungaria, this force has both the rapid characteristics of the Mongolian cavalry and the sharp firepower of Central Asian countries, and is also a strong enemy of the Qing Dynasty in history, and the firearms are more advanced than the Eight Banners Army.

The Dzungar Khanate gave the impression of being a nomadic tribe, but they had a very good style of painting, not only developed agriculture, but also a mature handicraft industry, especially its military industry, and the technical level was extremely high.

Its well-developed iron-smelting industry has given Dzungaria a strong foundation to cast guns, and they are not only able to manufacture all kinds of guns and ammunition independently, but also have as many as six or seven thousand craftsmen specializing in the manufacture of guns.

Dzungaria was not like the Manchu Dynasty in later generations, which curbed the development of firearms, and the successive rulers of the Khanate reported a hungry learning attitude towards firearms and equipment.

For example, the monk of the previous Khan who was attacked and killed, he led his troops to attack Russian outposts many times, captured Russian soldiers, and let these Russian prisoners of war smelt iron and mine in Dzungaria, and made gunpowder formulas with stronger explosive power, as well as many guns and weapons that represent the level of the Russian army, which were also made one after another under the guidance of the prisoners of war.

Because the Ming Dynasty reshaped the mountains and rivers with firearms, which gave great inspiration to the surrounding countries, the rulers of the Dzungar Department had a strong learning attitude, and it became even stronger.

At this time, in charge of the Dzungar artillery battalion was a Swedish man named Renat, who was a Swedish artillery warrant officer who was captured by the Russian army in the war, and then captured by the Dzungars in a Russian Quasi-Campaign.

A person with skills can eat anywhere, and Renate is such a person, he was honored as a guest of honor by Dzungaria because of his firearms skills.

After receiving the order of Drod Babatur, Renate was extremely excited, and finally had to fight again!

The reason why these foreign captives work so hard to serve Dzungaria is mainly because the Dzungar Ministry has a generous policy, as long as you can create a hard guy, status, gold and silver, and beauty, you can choose whatever you want!

Most importantly, you're free and ready to go home!

Because of the enlightened policy of the Dzungar Ministry, Renate made a lot of money and had a lot of fun, and he brought all the field technology of Western Europe to the Dzungar Ministry.
