When the sea is like the wind in India's Fo Guang Shan and Aurangzeb, we might as well go all the way north, skimming the green mountains, skimming the Tianshan Mountains, and entering the vast Kipchak steppe.

At the southern end of the Kipchak steppe, in the area of the Syr Darya River, more than 10,000 troops of Su Jin were advancing towards Bukhara, the capital of the Bukhara Khanate.

In the northern part of the Kipchak steppe, the 17,000 Mongolian iron horsemen led by Li Ding were also galloping in the cold Siberian wind, and countless iron hooves were knocking on the ground, rolling like thunder in the sky.

This vast grassland is a paradise for cavalry, and under the withered yellow autumn grass, groups of wild beasts are startled by the sound of iron hooves that shake the heavens and the earth.

The golden eagle in the sky flew and circled, the clear roar of the calendar, the yellow dust rolled up by countless horses' hooves, was swept up by the west wind, straight into the sky, and the potential penetrated the stratus clouds.

When the Kazakh Khanate's Middle Tent lord Victor heard that Li Ding's army was heading south, he was so frightened that he hurriedly led his people to move west, faster than a rabbit escaping, and Li Ding was angry and chased 1,300 miles.

Victor fled in a hurry, and the old and weak were constantly left behind, and they were captured by Li Ding.

The weather is getting colder and colder, the cold sea, the poor yin is condensed, the hunting flag is rolling against the wind, the ice is in the beard, the skin is cracked, and the cold wind is like a blade.

"Report, General, a group of old and weak people have just been caught ahead, according to them, this place is still four hundred miles away from Kazakh Xiaoziyu Aktobe, General, we also found a news, Kazakh Xiaoziyu Lord Ferdinand sent people to ask for help from the Ottomans, and the Ottoman reinforcements have arrived in Aktobe"

This news aroused Li Ding's vigilance, and he ordered the army to stop, camp on the spot, and recuperate first.

Li Ding gathered all the generals into the big account, and he spoke first: "The Kazakh Great Khan Yangir once made a marriage contract with the Ottoman Empire, and wanted to marry his daughter Agul to the Ottoman caliph Mehmed IV as queen. After General Su conquered Turkestan, he captured Yangir and Agul.

The woman of the Ottoman Caliph who was about to be taken queen was taken captive. It is conceivable that the Ottomans must have been angry with the whole country, and the reinforcements of Kazakhstan this time may not be less. We are far away from the Central Plains, and there are no reinforcements behind, so we must plan well first. ”

Arslen rubbed his hands and said: "General, what about the Ottoman Empire, the last general is invited to be the vanguard, go to Akto not to frustrate the enemy's front, and at the same time find out the enemy's situation and return to the general." ”

Another general, Yang Pu, also said: "General. Let me go. ”

Du Shi Yu Xingguo muttered: "General, now that the enemy situation in Akto is not locust, the troops sent do not need to be too many, the first task is to find out the enemy situation first." ”

Li Ding thought for a while, and said to Arslen: "It's up to you to take 3,000 men and horses, go to Akto first, you have to remember, don't fight hard with the enemy, our troops are limited." If you lose one, you will lose one, and after finding out the enemy's situation, you should quickly report back. ”

Arslen Huoran got up, clenched his fists and replied loudly: "Don't worry, general. The last general had disappointed the general, and this time was no exception. ”

Yang Pu, who didn't grab the task, couldn't help but pouted and said, "Blow less, you have the ability to cut off the heads of a few Ottomans and blow it when you come back." ”

"Just wait and see." Alslen smiled, as if he was afraid that Li Ding would regret it. He took his sword and ran out of the tent to count the troops.

Arslen is not a nonsense, since the Western Expedition, Li Dingduo has sent him as a vanguard. The main reason is that he is not only as strong as a lion, fierce and brave, but also very scheming, and can often turn danger into victory and break strong enemies.

This time the enemy situation was unknown, and Li Ding's first choice was Arslen, also out of prudent consideration.

It is true that the main purpose of the Great Qin is to weaken Mongolia and Tibet, but these Mongolian armies are now actually fighting for the Great Qin, and under the continuous brainwashing of the officials, they have gradually become proud of being the soldiers of the Great Qin.

can sacrifice less, Li Ding does not want these Mongolian young men to sacrifice, not to mention that the road ahead is long, the whip of God is only half swinged, and there are still many places where soldiers are needed.

With 3,000 Mongolian horsemen, it took two more days for Arslen to force him to sixty miles east of Aktobe, a grassland with abundant water and grass, although the cold snap has arrived, and the grass has withered and yellowed, but you can still imagine how lush the pasture is here in summer.

It was here that Arslen was met by six thousand enemy troops, half Ottoman light cavalry and half Kazakh cavalry, led by the Ottoman general Rovik.

It was no accident that the 6,000 men and horses of Rowick appeared here, they specially led their troops to meet the attack after receiving the news of Arslen's attack.

The autumn grassland, the sky is vast, the cold wind is cold, as if feeling the atmosphere of war, the war horses on both sides neigh, restless.

The whining horn sounded, resounding through the vast grassland, and the heavens and the earth became solemn.

The Ottoman star and moon banners rolled in the cold wind, their helmets were high white feathers, their horses were tall and majestic, their armor was bright, and the weapons in their hands were crescent scimitars, which reflected a dazzling cold light in the sun without much warmth.

Seeing this, Arslen did not retreat, and he decided to fight against the Ottoman army, which was said to be very strong.

"Boom!" Arslen's unsheathed saber shook a finger, and the trumpet sounded, and three hundred iron horsemen rushed out from each wing, like the two wings of a wild goose, and the iron hooves roared and shouted like thunder, and rushed towards the two wings of the enemy.

Rowick did not show weakness, and immediately sent 500 cavalry each to meet the Mongol cavalry rushing on both flanks, "Allah! "Allah!" The Ottoman soldiers roared, urging their horses to fly, the west wind swept the battle flag, and the crescent scimitar was wielding murderous

The expected violent collision did not occur, and the Mongol light cavalry did not fight with the rushing enemy in a short fight, but used flexible and mobile tactics to constantly lure the enemy, using their best cavalry and archery skills to shoot the enemy from a long distance.

On a galloping horse, turn around and shoot the pursuers, which is the specialty of the Mongol cavalry.

The three hundred Mongol cavalry on both wings, each luring five hundred enemy cavalry in circles, bursts of arrows puffed down on the pursuing enemy cavalry, and the pursuers were constantly hit by arrows, crashing to the ground, and then tripped more enemies, the people howled miserably, and the horses neighed

After the enemy's casualties gradually increased and the formation was scattered, the Mongol cavalry immediately turned around and rushed to kill, and in the distance, Rowick saw that his men and horses had fallen behind, and the Mongols took advantage of the chaos to rush and kill, and suffered heavy casualties. He hated it, and roared and sent a thousand men on each wing.

Arslen, on this side, began to smile playfully, and he sent two hundred men and horses to each flank, as if adding oil, constantly attracting the enemy's forces to the two flanks.

Rowick's reaction was the same as that of other generals, in order to avoid being flanked from both sides, he continued to increase his troops on both flanks, trying to eliminate the Mongol cavalry on both flanks as much as possible.

In the end, he inevitably got hit!

This trick is called by the Mongols as heart-digging technique.

This is a tactic of fighting more with less, taking advantage of the strong mobility of the Mongol cavalry to continuously draw the enemy's forces to the two wings;

When before they know it, the forces around the enemy commander become scarce, and their remaining main force will rush straight through the middle, punching out the heart.

Arslen keenly grasped the fighter, and with a finger of his saber, two thousand Mongol troops rushed out with him, and rushed straight towards Rowick, the wind was blowing, and the sound of hooves shook the sky, rolling like thunder.

Rowwick didn't have time to think about it, and immediately rushed up, because his men were also cavalry, and if they didn't run, they would have to die when Arslen arrived.

Eventually, before the enemy forces on both flanks could react, Arslen had already collided with Rowick fiercely.

This time, there was no trickery, and the collision was like an earth-shattering shock, and for a while, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the strangulation was like a tide.

It was only at this time that Lowwick realized that he had fallen into the trap of Arslen, he had an army of 6,000, and there were less than 1,500 people left around him at this moment.

"Ahh Arslen waved like lightning, taking the lead, constantly chiseling into the enemy's formation, his eyes glued to Rowick's battle flag.

"Cover left and right!" At the sound of his roar, the soldiers on the left and right rushed up, and Arslen immediately collected his bow with his sword, and his movements flowed, and three arrows were fired in succession, killing Rowick's standard-bearer and falling off his horse.

As soon as Rovik's banner fell, the Ottoman army suddenly made a big uproar and panicked, while the Mongol army cheered in unison, their morale was like a rainbow, and their fierce iron horsemen, like the giant axes of the gods, slashed fiercely into the hearts of the enemy formations
