The Kazakh Khanate was divided into large yuz, middle yuz, and small yuz. It is also known as a big tent, a medium tent, and a small tent. The Lesser Horde governed the Ural River to the Caspian Sea, and the Great Horde governed the west of Lake Balkhash to Turkestan.

The Central Horde governed the central Kazakh highlands, including the upper Irtysh River, until the Rakshasa occupied Lake Kyzylkak, south of the city of Omsk.

Suddenly, 20,000 Qin troops swept through in the north, and hundreds of Cossack cavalry guarding the city of Omsk were like chickens and dogs in front of the Qin army.

This Qin army was naturally the Mongol iron cavalry led by Li Ding, they only stayed in the city of Omsk for a day, and after leaving a few hundred people to take over the city, they rushed along the Erji River to Tyumen, which made the Kazakh Central Tent in the south temporarily relieved.

The Ural Mountains run north-south, with towering ridges like a giant dragon, stretching from the Arctic Ocean to the Kipchak steppe, that is, the northern part of the Kazakh steppe, in the Caspian Basin.

This ridge, which is about 2,000 kilometers long, was also regarded as the dividing line between Europe and Asia in later generations.

Tyumen is located on the eastern side of the Urals, in the plains of the middle reaches of the Ob River, where the fertile fields are thousands of miles, the water and grass are abundant, and the land is fertile.

To say that it is so fertile is not only that the surface of the land is fertile, but that it can really flow oil, and it can flow a lot.

In the 21st century, 70% of the world's leading oil and gas production in Russia, the Tyumen Plain, is produced.

Therefore, this is not only the back garden left by Qin Mu to Daqin, but also the most important strategic material reserve.

After the Tsar captured Kashrek with Cossack cavalry, the then Great Khan Kuchum Khan fled to the south, organized his forces, and continued to fight against the Russian army. It took seventeen years to resist the war, and it was not until Kuchum Khan was killed that the khanate was completely destroyed by Tsarist Russia.

The Siberian Khanate was one of the four khanates split from the Golden Horde established by the original Mongols, and the total population was about 100,000 at that time, mainly composed of Mongols and Tatars;

It can be said that the Mongol army led by Li Ding is actually no stranger to this region, which was originally the territory of their ancestors, which was occupied by Tsarist Russia for decades, but the local people are mainly the Mongols and Tatars of the original Siberia.

The arrival of Li Ding's army, which consisted mainly of Mongols, made the local Mongols and Tatars very excited. Tsarist Russia itself was a serfdom state, and after occupying these areas, it brutally suppressed and exploited the local herdsmen;

The local herdsmen were miserable, and they themselves had many uprisings, but they were all suppressed by Tsarist Russia. For the arrival of the "brothers in the hometown", they were naturally overjoyed and rushed to tell each other.

Li Ding didn't expect that he was greeted by such enthusiastic herdsmen that he was embarrassed to loot.

All right. People ushered in Daozuo, calling their relatives emotionally, are you embarrassed to pull out a knife?

Of course, since it's a relative. What's yours is mine, no need to rob.

Loved ones' meals, the most fragrant, loved ones' sheep. The fattest.

Li Ding and the others had only swallowed a few mouthfuls before they received a report from the scouts that the two thousand Rakshasa troops in the city of Tyumen had left the city. It's coming at them.

For some reason, after hearing the news, Li Ding was choked,

With a "bluff", Huo Di stood up and said in a vigorous manner: "General, let the last general bring 5,000 soldiers and horses, first beat the enemy all over the ground to find teeth, and then come back to eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl." ”

When the other generals heard this, it was you again, what kind of thing is this?

I came all the way and ran tens of thousands of miles, but in fact, I didn't fight a few battles at all.

Siberia is vast and sparsely populated, sometimes galloping for days without seeing a single person, and sometimes everyone has to go hungry, let alone fight. Now that it's finally been Tyumen, you can't let all the good things be done.

The generals asked for battle one after another, and even Yu Xingguo, who was in charge of the capital, couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed lightly: "General Arslen, the enemy has just left the city, and there are still sixty or seventy miles away from here." General Arslen doesn't need to be in a hurry, everyone will discuss first, how this battle should be fought. ”

"What's there to talk about, isn't it just two thousand Rakshasa soldiers, it's not easy to destroy him."

"Since you are so sure, Ben Shuai will give you five thousand men, go ahead."

"Thank you, General."

Last time, Arslen had 3,000 Mongolian iron cavalry and 1,000 Cossack cavalry, and with such a brilliant record, he naturally didn't take the 2,000 Rakshasa army too seriously, and immediately ordered 5,000 cavalry to meet in the direction of Tyumen City.

Due to the climate, the vegetation here is layered, from north to south, tundra, forest tundra, forest, forest steppe and steppe zone.

Basically, Tyumen is located at the junction of the forest-steppe and steppe belts.

The so-called forest steppe, as the name suggests, is that there is a grassland in the forest, and the grassland is scattered with patches of forest.

This terrain is the most complex and is best suited for covert cavalry raids.

This time leading 2,000 men out of the city was Marichinkov, commander of the Russian cavalry regiment in Siberia;

Although he was Russian, the 2,000 cavalry under his command were basically Cossack cavalry;

Moreover, he led the army to suppress the rebellion of the local Mongolian herdsmen many times, and he was very experienced in this kind of terrain warfare.

Suddenly, he split two thousand Cossack cavalry into four and flew through the woods, sometimes even through the sparse woods.

Arslen sent a large number of scouts, but not only could not figure out where the enemy's main force was, but even lost the traces of two enemy troops. He immediately realized the severity of the situation.

He fought the Cossack cavalry twice, and although he completely annihilated the enemy with his skillful tactics, he also knew that the real strength of the Cossack cavalry should not be underestimated;

Don't look at your own 5,000 people, once they are attacked, they will also lead to a big defeat.

It's just that when he came, Alslen left a bunch of big words, if he was scared away like this, where would he put this old face when he went back?

It's not going to advance, it's not going to retreat, and now Alslen is in trouble.

He ordered to slow down and increase vigilance while pondering countermeasures.

On second thought, he immediately realized that slowing down was a huge mistake;

Although this area is a typical forest and grassland, you have me, I have you, it is very complicated;

However, as long as you choose some relatively open grasslands and pass through Guò as quickly as possible, even if the enemy hides in the nearby woods, it is impossible to attack from the left, right or rear except for blocking them head-on.

Fast, as long as it's fast enough, quickly will leave all the conspiracy behind or force the enemy out.

Arslen called the lieutenant general Bart and ordered: "You take 1,500 men to the front, and I will lead the main force to follow you, and we will be separated by a mile, along the relatively empty meadow, and kill the city of Tyumen as fast as possible."

The enemy hurried out of the city, there are not many soldiers and horses left in the city, as long as we kill the city, we can force the enemy to return to the aid of Tyumen, even if we do not come back, as long as we are fast enough, we do not have to worry about being attacked left and right. ”

"Yes, General!"

Bart immediately took fifteen hundred men and horses as the vanguard, and began to speed up, and the iron hooves became denser and denser, beating the earth like raindrops, and galloping along the meadow.

Arslen followed, no more than a mile apart, and if Bart was blocked, he had both a buffer and an immediate chance to go into battle.

Marichenkov is trying to take advantage of the interlaced characteristics of the steppe and forests in this area, first set up a suspicious formation, scare the Qin army, make them suspicious, and then look for a good opportunity to raid.

However, Aslen's move completely broke Marichenkonov's conspiracy, and now he has only two choices, either to block it now, or to watch the enemy Qin army kill in Tyumen.

You can't attack from the flank, with the speed of the Qin army, when you rush out of the woods, the people have already galloped over;

It's like a slow ox cart, and it's easy to attack it from the side; But if it's a fast-flying bullet, it's almost impossible to hit it from the side and from behind, except to hold it from the front.

Marichenkov had no choice but to urgently gather his men and horses and face Arslen head-on

PS: The Lantern Festival is coming, and I don't have any lanterns at home, so I can only fantasize: thousands of flowers and trees bloom on the night of the east wind. More blows down, stars like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night

Okay, I'm going to make a few lanterns by myself, who will enjoy them? (To be continued......)
