On the northern shore of the Caspian Sea, the vast Kipchak steppes stretch here, with green grass and wildflowers.

Originating from the Ural River in the south of the Ural Mountains, surging southward, flowing into the Caspian Sea, with a total length of 4,800 li, it is the fourth largest inland river in the world, and it is the dividing line of Asia and Europe together with the Ural Mountains.

In the boundary of Great Qin demarcated by Qin Mu, the Ural River is also regarded as the boundary river, and the east of the river will be included in the territory of Great Qin.

However, to complete this great plan of the Great Qin Emperor, it is necessary to baptize blood and fire again and again.

At this moment, on the banks of the Ural River, the Kazakh Middle Horde, the Small Horde and the Ottoman Empire army were gathered, totaling 90,000 horses.

The Ottoman governor of the Greater Caucasus, Arthurus, stood at the head of the city of Atyrau, looking at the surging Ural River outside the city, his eyes were cold, and behind him was a star and moon flag, which was the symbol of the Ottoman Empire.

The Kazakh middle tent Butl Khan had been waiting impatiently, and since late autumn last year, he was forced to hurriedly put away his territory and run all the way west to the small tent on the northern shore of the Caspian Sea. I don't want to reclaim my territory all the time.

Butel Khan pinned all his hopes on Arthurus, and urged him several times, but Arthurius was busy with domestic political struggles, and refused to send troops to find a decisive battle with the Qin people on the grounds that winter was not suitable for fighting.

In this year, there was a huge political storm within the Ottoman Empire, and the regent Empress Dowager was also assassinated and killed by Koseim, who was the Sultan's empress dowager, and the feminist period of the Ottoman Empire came to an end.

With the support of Arthurius and other governors, the then seventy-five-year-old Colelu. Muhammad. Pasha became Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire.

The Grand Vizier is the highest-ranking minister below the level of the Sultan, equivalent to the position of Prime Minister, with absolute agency power, which in principle can only be removed by the Sultan.

The Grand Vizier held the imperial seal, equivalent to the imperial seal of the Great Qin, and could summon all the viziers to participate in the affairs of the state, and the meeting was held in a place called "Kubalti" (under the dome), located in the Ottoman palace of Tokabi.

Now the Ottoman caliphate was still small, and the power of the Grand Vizier surpassed that of the prime minister. Actually comparable to the regent. The entire empire was manipulated by the Grand Vizier Kopluru. Muhammad. Pasha in his hand.

Koplulu. Muhammad. Pasha was a radical conservative enforcer who sought to restore central power and the military power of the empire. Faqil. Ahmed is the concrete enforcer of his policy.

It can be said that the Koplulu family is really bent on reviving the emperor's prestige and strengthening the centralization of power. This is why the House of Copleu has the support of satraps like Arthurus.

No questions asked. Now, the new rulers of the empire need a hearty victory to strengthen their prestige and consolidate the political situation at home.

So, this time there is no need for Butel Khan to urge. Arthurius also decided to attack with all his might and deal a fatal blow to the Qin people.

The army of 90,000 was assembled and spread out for twenty or thirty miles under the city of Atyrau, which was vast and endless. The war horses roared, the swords and guns reflected the sun, and the military appearance was magnificent, which made Butel Khan and others feel full of anger and enthusiasm.

The cavalry of the herald galloped continuously, and the reconnaissance sentry kept transmitting the information of the Qin army: "Report to Your Excellency the Governor." The Qin army had crossed the Turgai River and was heading towards the Mugojar Mountains. ”

"Good come, herald, the whole army is leaving!"

With the order of Arthurus, the herald galloped out, the horn and trumpet sounded endlessly, and the army of 90,000 began to move slowly, with the sound of hooves roaring, the flags covering the sun, and the sound of the sky.

Li Ding lost a lot of weight. The whole person seems to be more lean and composed.

He has not been idle this winter, and although the winters in the Kipchak steppes are dry and cold, there is little snow;

The Qin army had a full set of equipment, gloves and masks. Tightly wrapped, only a pair of eyes are exposed on the march in the winter field.

Before the winter, he sent people south to contact Su Jin, and the two sides marched in the south and the north, swept the Kipchak steppe, and captured a large number of Kazakh herdsmen.

However, after all, there was a large army of enemies eyeing the Caspian Sea, and Li Ding could not help but have some scruples. Failed to move south, and Su Jin's main force could not go north with all its strength in order to prevent the Safavid Empire.

However, the main force led by Chebai has reached Tyumen, and although the army has not yet been united, the two sides can already maintain close contact, and it can be regarded as a meeting.

Chebai has 35,000 iron horsemen under his command and is approaching Li Ding. And these 35,000 centaurs have not yet been discovered by Arthurius and others.

Li Ding had already sent someone to greet him and ask him to hide his whereabouts, and this time, Li Ding decided to give the enemy a huge surprise.

In the vast prairie, it is difficult to see people for a hundred miles, and an army sometimes even gets lost, and it is really not difficult to hide its whereabouts.

On the galloping war horse, Arslen hooked the index finger of his left hand, put it in his mouth and blew it, a sharp whistle pierced through the sky, and in the clear blue sky, a golden eagle spread its wings and soared, making a clear sound, flapping its wide wings and flying westward

This kind of golden eagle, not only in Arslen, but also in the chelation there are as many as seven, they fly in the sky, just like a reconnaissance plane, much faster than the ordinary reconnaissance horse, and the reconnaissance range is also much larger.

The grasslands are not always flat, with some undulating waves, rivers and belts, swamps, jungles and mountains.

The scouts on the ground were very laborious to reconnoitre, and with these heavenly eyes, it was difficult for ordinary herdsmen and enemy troops around the army to escape reconnaissance.

"General! General! ”

The guerrilla general Li Wei led hundreds of light horsemen and galloped over the northwest slopes, while Li Ding and Yu Xingguole, the capital servant, waited under a few pine trees on their truce horses, and behind them were 20,000 iron horsemen marching with a roar, bringing smoke and dust flying.

Li Wei beat his horse and rushed to Li Ding's front for more than ten steps, before turning over and dismounting, and after throwing the reins to his own soldiers, he walked up with an excited face and said: "General, the last general has carefully inspected it, and the terrain of Romtau is very suitable."

Li Wei said and squatted down, and used the handle of the horsewhip to scratch on the ground while explaining: "General, this is Limugojar Mountain, in the west, and here is the Urgai River, in the east. The further north you go, the narrower the angle between the mountains and the river, and in the Romtau area, the width of the mountain and the river is thirty li, and it belongs to the undulating hills, and there are pine forests. Ten miles south of Romtaau, there is also a lake surrounded by swamps, which can only be passed three miles wide on the left. ”

In fact, the terrain on the steppe is quite complicated, if it is a battle of 3,000 troops, it is not difficult to find a place for ambush, but the Kazakh and Osman army is 90,000 people, and it is not easy to find a place for ambush.

The area is too narrow, and most people will send a force of men and horses into Qù, and the main force will stay outside, so there will be no ambush. The area is too wide, and where the line of sight is open, it is more difficult to ambush.

Looking at the picture drawn by Li Wei and listening to his explanation, Li Ding also felt that this place was really good;

He only had 20,000 horses, of which only 5,000 were equipped with rifles and rockets, and these 5,000 men and horses were the Han army, which was selected by Qin Mu from tens of thousands of troops by Li Ding at the foot of Helan Mountain.

Most of the others were Mongol soldiers, drawn from the Mongol tribes in the way of drawing, and it was impossible to equip them with rifles and rockets in order to control them.

The enemy numbered as many as 90,000, and all of them were extremely powerful cavalry, and once it was decided, the battlefield might be twenty or thirty miles wide, and the Qin army, which was 5,000 armed with firearms, could take into account very limited places.

Considering these factors, Li Ding decided to fight an ambush war, so that not only could the power of the Qin army's firearms be brought into play, but also the 35,000 men and horses who were suddenly killed could obtain the most dà results.

"In that case, then it was decided, and the enemy was led to Romtau and a decisive battle here. Someone came, immediately go to contact Chebai, and ask him to rush to Romtau as soon as possible to ambush. ”

"Whoa!"

Yu Xingguo said: "In terms of distance, it will take at least three days for General Chebai's soldiers and horses to arrive in Romtaau, and after arriving, we need to rest for a day. ”

Li Dingding nodded: "That's true, how to lure the enemy's army into an ambush in the end, this is the most important, do you have any good plans?" ”

The enemy is not a fool, and it is not an easy task to lure an army of 90,000 into an ambush.

Can it be done in the end?

In fact, even Li Ding was not completely sure in his heart.
