On the second day, the Russian-Kazakh coalition continued to send troops to attack the bunker group of the Ming army.

After yesterday's fiasco, Zinoviev was a little more well-behaved, and no longer let the Russian army teach the Ming army a lesson, but ordered the army of the Kazakh Khanate to open the way.

The Kazakh Khanate was founded in the 15th century by the descendants of the Mongol Golden Family, 80 or 90 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

As a powerful country in Central Asia, the Kazakh Khanate has a vast land and rich resources, with a total population of 1.5 million.

According to the tradition left by the Mongols, the standard of conscription in the Kazakh Khanate was "one soldier for five or one soldier for three", recruited from settled residents and nomads, and the total strength of the entire khanate was theoretically as high as more than 300,000!

This time, the first wave of the Kazakh Khanate first dispatched 50,000 troops, and with the unprofessional command of the Russians, the Ili River valley at their fingertips was taken by the Ming army again, and the Kazakh Khanate sent 100,000 troops again.

The strategic position of the Ili River Valley in Central Asia, as well as the excellent environment comparable to that of the south of the Yangtze River, needless to say, therefore, in order to obtain a better living environment and curb the westward advance of the Ming Dynasty, the Kazakh Khanate is determined to seize the Ili River Valley!

The organizational form of the army of the Kazakh Khanate is very similar to that of the Mongol army, consisting of ten, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand troops, 10,000 people is the largest combat unit, equivalent to half a division of the Ming Dynasty, 1,000 people is a secondary combat unit equivalent to a regiment of the Ming Dynasty, and the unit of 100 people and 10 people is equivalent to "Bai" and "team.......

After the order of the commander of the coalition forces, Zinoviev, the Kazakh Khanate sent a force of 10,000 men under the command of an emir (Turkic for chief), whose name was Emu, the brother-in-law of the Khan, and he was a relatively rigid man.

The Russian army's failure in attacking the fort made Emu look down on these Rakshasa ghosts in his heart, so he didn't make excuses to excuse himself after he got his life, and took his men and horses to kill the bunker group of the Ming army.

Densely packed with Kazakh soldiers, with a variety of equipment, cautiously touched the fortress of the Ming army.

Their weapons consisted mainly of muskets, javelins, sabers, spears, bones, and battle axes, as well as compound bows with a range of nearly 300 meters, which could penetrate solid wooden targets at a distance of 100 meters.

Since the 16th century, the Central Asian countries have updated their firearms and equipment, and the firearms trade is even more prosperous, and the cities of Samarkand and Andijan in Central Asia are well-known "important arms towns".

Through many battles with the Western Army of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the means of trade, they continued to obtain excellent equipment, and some of the weapons provided by the Russians, which can be described as a demonstration of the combination of China and the West.

The army of the Kazakh Khanate has always been known for its flexibility and mobility, and is good at ambushes, wars of attrition, and encirclement warfare, and is not good at frontal hard bars.

This time they went out to attack the Ming army's bunker group, and they didn't plan to take the head and be tough with the Ming army, the Rakshasa ghost had a lesson from there, so the fool went to send the head!

At this time, the Kazakh army listed a kind of convex half-moon battle formation, with the worst combat soldiers arranged in the central protrusion, and at the end of the two wings were the elite soldiers of the khanate, and in the back, there were also reserves to provide support at any time.

The commander of the coalition army, Zinoviev, narrowed his eagle eyes slightly, looked at the Kazakh army slowly advancing, and said to the Kazakh army commander beside him: "Touke, is your tactic feasible?" ”

Touke is not only the chief general of the Kazakh army, but also the son of the Khan of the Kazakh Khanate, the future successor of the Khan, I saw him laugh and said: "This kind of tactic was formed by our Khanate specifically for the Western Army of the Ming Dynasty and the Junggar Army!" ”

According to his introduction, when the arrogant Ming army recklessly broke through the cannon fodder formation of the Kazakh army and continued to go deeper, it was like a mouse in a pocket, and it would fall into a state of being attacked on three sides, and the elite soldiers of the Kazakh army who turned from the end of the two wings to the front end would quickly seal the exit of the pocket and launch a war of annihilation against the enemy!

Tou Ke said proudly: "The army of our Khanate has used this tactic to defeat the intention of the Dzungar Department to advance westward many times, and even the army of the Ming State to conquer the west, in front of our army, is also afraid of hands and feet, and does not dare to rush into the light!" ”

Zinoviev smiled, but secretly said in his heart, the army of your Kazakh Khanate is just relying on a large number of people, if you were really so awesome, you would not have been penetrated 800 miles into the territory of the Khanate by a cavalry of the Ming army three years ago!

Now Lao Tzu is pretending to be forced? See how you deal with the Ming army!

Zinoviev said nothing wrong, the formation of the Kazakh army was very effective against the Dzungar Mongols, but it was not very effective for the cavalry of the Western Army, which was good at flank assault, and Touke was completely putting gold on his face.

The two were silent, and continued to observe the battle ahead, only to see the convex cannon fodder of the Kazakh army, holding sabers and small steel round shields, slowly approaching the bunker group of the Ming army like thieves.

The Kazakh cavalry, armed with flintlock pistols and compound bows, constantly galloped around the bunker group, occasionally firing or firing arrows at the many "small windows" on the bunker, in an attempt to suppress the fire of the Ming army.

This force, which had both the swift characteristics of the Mongol cavalry and the sharp firepower of the Central Asian countries, was a formidable opponent of the Western Army and the Dzungar Army.

However, the Ming army hiding in the bunker never moved, as if it was hibernating, which embarrassed the Kazakh cavalry.

On the defense line that is several miles long, the bunkers of the Ming army are one every two hundred meters, and nine lanes are staggered before and after, there are nearly 100 of them!

Garrisoning this bunker group is the strength of a regiment of the Western Protectorate, who have been trained many times and are quite familiar with the cross-use of firepower in the defense of the bunker.

In a bunker, a soldier of the Ming Army was lying on the gun hole and looking out, his face was very excited, and at the same time there was a hint of nervousness.

When the Kazakh army touched it, the little soldier exclaimed in a trembling voice: "The Rakshasa ghost has come up, and the Rakshasa ghost has touched it again!" ”

A middle-aged officer who was nearly forty years old came to him, looked out, and scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy, this is a Rakshasa ghost, it is clearly a Mongolian!" ”

This little soldier looked like a new soldier, and his face turned a little white with nervousness, and he subconsciously said, "Dad, what if the enemy discovers our bunker?" ”

A soldier beside him smiled and said: "Cui Xingyun, you are afraid of an egg, there is a powerful sentinel here, did you let you lose your life?" ”

There was a burst of laughter from inside the bunker, and the tense atmosphere dissipated.

Everyone knows that their sentinel is always a legend, he joined the army at the age of twelve, and not only participated in the Liaodong War, but also participated in the Guanjin War!

The sentry chief smiled, patted his son Cui Xingyun's shoulder, signaled him to relax, and said to everyone: "Brothers, don't be nervous, the enemy is still far away, the head of the regiment said, send the thief in completely, and after the brothers in front shoot in a while, let's fight again!" ”

Hearing this, several other soldiers in the bunker breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Someone smiled at the whistle and asked, "Cui whistle, I heard that you fought the Mongols when you were young?" And killed a Mongol cavalryman with his bare hands? ”

Speaking of his father, the little soldier Cui Xingyun said proudly: "Of course, when the Mongolian Tumut Department took advantage of the martyrdom of my Ming vassal king Jing to go south to Xuanfu to plunder, my father saw a Tartar soldier arrogantly coming on horse, regardless of the danger of his life, he flew up with his bare hands, overturned the Tartar soldier, took his war horse, and rushed out of the encirclement of the Mongolian soldiers alone!" ”

"Wow! Cui Whistle is amazing! The crowd exclaimed.

The whistle chief surnamed Cui, his face was as heavy as water, without the slightest joy.

After a moment of silence, he let out a long sigh and whispered to himself: "Not only have I fought the Mongols, but even the Tianwu Army, I have fought with them twice......"
