Chapter 1299 is a thousand miles away
In the wilderness, scattered Russian infantry and cavalry mixed together and fled westward in a hurry.
Most of them, throwing away their muskets and spears, ran with their bare hands, hoping to run faster after discarding all the heavy objects on their bodies.
But after all, they only have two legs, and even if they use their strength to feed, they can't outrun the cavalry.
The Russian infantry could only look at their own cavalry in despair, throwing them off from the battlefield and slowly moving away, while the Jin cavalry behind them was speeding closer.
The Russian army, which fled in a hurry, was eager to give birth to two more legs, and did not dare to look behind it at all, and at this moment, there was a sudden Russian exclamation from behind, "Catch up." ”
The exhausted Russian troops suddenly despaired in their hearts, but fear also stimulated their potential, and one by one they took their last breath and ran wildly.
When he looked back boldly, he saw that the cavalry of the Jin Army was behind him, and the head of the spear with a flickering cold light was already aimed at their backs, and they were about to be stabbed.
Death is not terrible, what is terrible is that death is chasing after him.
Wu Sangui lost more than 2,000 horsemen, his heart was on fire, his face was hideous, his big knife was stained with blood, and the people he killed today were thirty or forty people, and the Russian army who fled in a hurry seemed to be practicing knives for him.
The cavalry chased out more than 30 miles, and the Russian army lay in wait for 30 miles, but he didn't mean to stop, and the coalition cavalry behind him was also red-eyed, especially the Yuzi and Mongols, and when it came time to take revenge, they were not ambiguous at all.
The war horse galloped, and the coalition cavalry soon crashed into the fleeing Russian army, Wu Sangui stepped forward, slashed left and right with a big knife, and the horses galloped past, with corpses on both sides, killing four or five people in an instant.
The cavalry rushed out of the crowd, Wu Sangui did not stop to harvest people's lives, but continued to run forward, and soon there was another rout in the distance, he pointed his sword, and a group of cavalry left the brigade to catch up with the rout. The cavalry circled around them, and the faces of the Russian troops in the circle were full of horror.
Along the entire road to the west, Russian troops were caught up from time to time, and the main forces of the coalition forces did not stop, biting the Russian cavalry and not giving them time to breathe......
The battlefield near the city of Henglus gradually calmed down, and under the pursuit of more than 60,000 cavalry of the coalition army, except for most of the cavalry of the Russian army and the cavalry of Khiva who fled westward, almost all of the 30,000 infantry troops of the Russian army were reimbursed.
Outflanked by the cavalry on both flanks, 30,000 Russian infantry, a total of 15 brigades, were killed, and more than 13,000 people were killed.
This army, which had competed with Poland, the hegemon of Eastern Europe, for hegemony not long ago, collapsed under the attack of the coalition forces.
Tsarist Russia was able to mobilize about 150,000 troops, of which 60,000 were Cossacks, and this battle reimbursed one-fifth of Russia's troops, which was enough for Russia to suffer for a while.
The monk was sweating profusely, threw the bloody sword to his soldiers, and walked up the dirt slope to Sun Kewang.
At this time, Sun Kewang was standing on a high place, looking around, inside and outside the city of Henglus, there were corpses and scattered weapons, as well as ownerless war horses.
As far as the eye can see, the corpses of the Russian army are spread from under the city to the distance, stretching for dozens of miles.
The soldiers of the Jin army were tying up the Russian prisoners with ropes, and escorted a string of dejected Russian troops towards the city of Henglus.
The Yuz, the Mongols, and the Bukhara soldiers walked among the corpses, vying for the spoil.
However, Russia was not a rich country, and there was not much to loot except for more than 10,000 flintlock pistols and 150 artillery pieces.
They looted these things, and they also had to distribute them to the Jin State, so Sun Kewang was not in a hurry, and besides, he didn't have the strength to loot them, and the army either went to chase them or use them to guard the prisoners.
The monk climbed to the height, also looked at the battlefield, many Yuzi and Mongols are struggling to wield weapons, venting the joy in their hearts, the war lasted for more than a month, they have been pressed and beaten by the Rakshasas, and finally in exchange for the hard-won victory, the monk is loyal to a burst of emotion.
"Lord Wang!" The monk turned around and saluted Sun Kewang, "The Mongolian people of the Jungger Department, thank you for the kindness of Dajin and the prince, and in the future, Junggar will only be the head of the Dajin Horse." ”
Sun Kewang looked at the monk who beat his chest with his fist, and immediately laughed, "Taiji's thoughts, this king knows, when the threat of the Rakshasa is solved, let's talk about it together." ”
This battle dragged on for a long time, with 60,000 men on the Russian side and 20,000 on the Khiva Khanate, totaling more than 80,000 people, and the losses were estimated at about 35,000 people, almost half of which were lost.
From the beginning of the war, the coalition army invested 20,000 people, Yuzi 42,000 people, Bukhara 15,000 people, and the Jin army 40,000 people, a total of more than 117,000 people, but the losses were probably more than 30,000 people, and the casualties were also very heavy.
Of these more than 30,000 people, the Jin State suffered about three or four thousand casualties, and the remaining casualties were mainly Yuzi and Mongols.
Just like Sun Kewang's calculations, the Mongols and Yuzi people were broken, so the monk said that he was willing to look forward to the Jin country.
This has already changed from an alliance to a subordinate relationship between superiors and subordinates.
In this battle, the Jin army saved the defeat of the coalition army in one fell swoop, defeated the main force of the Russian army's Eastern Expedition in one fell swoop, and at the same time demonstrated its strength, and the prestige of the Jin State in Central Asia will be raised to a peak and become the leader of the alliance, even the Heavenly Khan.
After this battle, the Rakshasa Kingdom will not want to get involved in Central Asia for nearly four or five years. The situation of the Jin Kingdom in the west will be very good, and the Silk Road will be preserved.
Sun Kewang and the monks looked around the battlefield and couldn't help but sigh, this battle was fought happily, and the strategy of opening up the western front of the Jin Kingdom was probably completed.
"To be able to defeat the Rakshasa people this time, it really depends on the support of Dakin's army." The monk looked at the corpses lying all over the place and sighed again.
Sun Kewang waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "This time, it is also the same hatred of Zhunger, Yuz, Bukhara and my Dajin that has this victory and ensured the smooth flow of the Silk Road." ”
After Sun Kewang said a word, his voice changed, and he continued: "But now is not the time to talk about merit, the top priority, we have to clean up the battlefield, and drive the Rakshasa people to the west in one go." ”
The Russian army was defeated in the city of Hengros, and there were still many cavalry that broke through the siege, and now is not the time for the coalition forces to celebrate their victory.
When the monk heard this, he immediately hammered his chest, "Although the prince commands, Zhungeer is willing to be the vanguard!" ”
Sun Kewang nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, now is a good time to beat the water dogs, this king will leave a section to clean up the battlefield, imprison the prisoners, and Taiji, you will send troops to meet the king of Shu." ”.
When the coalition army outside Henglus City was cleaning up the battlefield, Wu Sangui led 30,000 Jin army cavalry and 30,000 coalition cavalry, frantically chasing and killing, all the way forward.
Soon after, Sun Kewang also led the rear team to follow, and the army marched west along the Syr Darya, and the Yuzi people drove their cattle and sheep to follow them.
The coalition forces quickly cleared the Russian stronghold in the northern part of the Aral Sea, then advanced to the Caspian Sea to restore the territory of the Yuz, and crossed the Ural River to the eastern bank of the Volga.
At this point, the Russian fortresses began to appear, and the coalition forces stopped because the battle line was too long.
In this battle, the Russian army can be said to be some thousands of miles, and the gains made since the beginning of the previous year have been lost, and the defeat is extremely aggrieved.
Sun Kewang felt that the banks of the Ural River were already the limit of Jin's influence in Central Asia, and no matter how far he went, he would have no influence and no ability to control it, so when he arrived on the east bank of the Volga, he could talk to the Rakshasa people, and it was time to end the war.
Wu Sangui also hoped to return to Hanzhong as soon as possible after getting some benefits, the Jin cavalry did not want to stay on the grassland for a long time, and the cattle and sheep of the Yuzi people could not afford to support them.
Sun Kewang immediately found a Rakshasa officer from among the captives, and then found a Turkut nobleman who had lived on the banks of the Volga River and could speak Russian, and asked him to inform Morozov, who had retreated to the west bank in a hurry, and proposed a truce between the two sides, and then the Rakshasa State would give the Jin State a New Year's coin and an indemnity, and pay tribute to the Jin State.
In Sun Kewang's opinion, since they had won a big victory, it was reasonable to put forward these conditions, but he did not expect that they would meet the most unreasonable and arrogant country.
Half a month later, Sun Kewang received a reply that made him angry, and the Russian tsar told him, "Tsarist Russia, there is no more than one silver coin, if you want money, you can continue to fight!" ”
Russia, which had lost thousands of miles and suffered a terrible defeat, put on a scoundrel face.
Sun Kewang didn't expect to meet a scoundrel, Wu Sangui was even more angry, and slaughtered several strongholds of the Russian army to vent his anger, but it was not in the interests of the Jin State to continue to advance, and the key could not be supported.
At this moment, the Jin Kingdom was stalemate, and it was impossible to break into the city and grab some supplies, and he was simply depressed to death.
Sun Kewang and Wu Sangui stared at each other, they didn't expect to be so cowardly if they won, they really have a lot of knowledge, and they have never seen a country that is so arrogant after losing.
When encountering such an opponent, Jin Guo can only be said to be very unlucky, I thought that I could blackmail a sum of money, but I didn't expect to meet a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
Although Sun Kewang was depressed, he was also very vigilant.
After this battle, he knew that the Rakshasa people were not weak, and the Jin Kingdom was able to win, to a large extent, by killing them by surprise, and the Rakshasa people were actually not weaker than the Jin Army in terms of equipment and training.
It is definitely not a good thing for such an arrogant country that does not admit defeat to be neighbors with the gold country.
Such an enemy can't stimulate him, and if he stimulates him, he can't shoot him, and in the end he can only be dragged to death, if he wants to deal with it, he must be hammered to death, and he can't be given a chance to struggle.
Sun Kewang saw that it was not the same thing to be consumed, and he had already intended to withdraw his troops, but at this moment, Morozov suddenly sent someone over and expressed his willingness to negotiate a peace treaty with Jin.
This is exactly what Sun Kewang wanted, but the Rakshasa people started to be so horizontal, and now their attitude has suddenly changed, there must be something hidden, and he naturally can't agree to it.
