Chapter 1136: Yellow Dust is Long

***

Mount Mugojar is a north-south mountain range bordered by the Turkige Plateau to the northeast and the Kipchak steppes to the south, which in turn is bordered by the Kizilqin Desert. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:strawberry,.cmxsw]

The Kizilqin Desert stretches from north to south, from the south of Mount Mugojar to the northern shore of the Aral Sea, but it is narrow from east to west, and the narrowest part is only seventy or eighty miles wide, and the cavalry can pass through it in most of the day, and under normal circumstances, it will not cause much trouble.

But a desert is a desert, and seventy or eighty miles wide is also a desert, and in this region, in summer, there are hot and dry southeast winds blowing from Central Asia.

A good general, wind, rain, frost and snow can be used as a weapon, Su Jin is ready to use this desert, take advantage of the southeast wind of this season, and give Arthurus a hard blow.

On the one hand, he ordered more than 30,000 troops to rush to the selected Romtau as soon as possible to lay an ambush, and on the other hand, he marched to the eastern edge of the Kyzylqin Desert.

Along the way, Li Ding ordered the army to pretend to be a banner and a drum, sometimes hunting and killing the enemy's scout cavalry with all his might, and suddenly disappearing, and sometimes deliberately letting the enemy's scout cavalry grasp the whereabouts of his 20,000 army.

To the west of the Kyzylqin Desert, Arthurus's 90,000-strong army was mighty, and after learning that Li Ding's 20,000-strong Qin army was welcoming him, how could he retreat with his strong soldiers and horses?

Arthurus's total strength was more than four times that of Li Ding, and most of his soldiers were accustomed to desert climate, and the desert seventy or eighty miles wide in front seemed nothing to them;

After resting for the night on the western edge of the Kyzylqin Desert, early the next morning, Arthurius ordered a large army to cross the desert, and an army of 90,000 men, like ants, rushed into the Kyzylqin Desert, setting off the yellow sand and soaring into the sky.

Li Ding's 20,000-strong army was waiting for work in the east of the Kyzylqin Desert.

At the final pre-war meeting, staff officer Wu Ying said: "Generals. Although the enemy had an army of 90,000, it could be divided into three groups, and the Ottoman army was 50,000. There were 20,000 Kazakh middle tent Butl Khan, and small tent Hulaiqin Khan also had 20,000 horses.

Under normal circumstances, several troops and horses are in one place, and it is inevitable that they have their own selfish intentions, and it is difficult to achieve one heart. If you can take advantage of this factor, it may be difficult to break it. Achieve unexpected results. ”

Yu Xingguo said: "General, the Ottoman country has just experienced a coup d'Γ©tat, and the Empress Dowager Kosem was assassinated and died. Muhammad. The Pasha regency, this act of seizing power by assassination, was sure to cause fierce unrest in the Ottoman country.

The Queen Mother Cosem has been regent for nearly ten years, and she must have cultivated a large number of forces loyal to her, and now although the Queen Mother Coseme has been assassinated, there are still many forces left behind by her.

At this time, as the Grand Vizier Copru. Muhammad. Arthurus Leus, the heaviest supporter of the Pasha. Regardless of the unstable domestic political situation, he still led an army of 50,000 to come to us for a decisive battle, I am afraid that this is not only because General Su robbed the future queen of the Ottomans. ”

Thinking of Su Jin's snatching back the Kazakh princess and the future queen of the Ottoman to the emperor, the corners of Li Ding's mouth turned up slightly, as for how many princesses he will snatch back to ask for merit in the future, I don't know, I just heard him say: "It seems that everything is still unfinished, what do you think, hurry up and tell everyone." ”

"General. It would be inconceivable for the Ottomans to support a neighboring country on such a large scale simply for the sake of a woman, not to mention that the political situation in the Ottoman country has changed dramatically. You shouldn't be so aggressive about a woman anymore.

The Ottomans continued to expand, and their territory was extremely vast, which shows that the country's demand for territory is irrepressible, and there are two reasons why they are so aggressive to support Kazakhstan.

One. Taking advantage of the capture of Yangir, Kazakhstan was greatly injured, and in the name of sending troops to support, it annexed Kazakhstan. Second, the Grand Vizier Coplulu. Muhammad. The Pasha urgently needed a great victory to increase his prestige and stabilize the situation in the country. ”

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

The real situation is likely to be as Yu Xingguo analyzed, Li Ding thought for a while and said: "If this is the case, then there are many places that can be used." If the Ottomans really annexed in the name of support, then in the next war, Arthurius will definitely use his power to weaken Butel and Hulaiqin, of course, we fight with Butel and Hulaiqin to lose both sides must be what Arthurius is most happy to see. At the same time, if Arthurus is in dire need of a great victory to increase the prestige of his faction, then we can make a fuss about his 'urgent need'. ”

General Arslen said: "General, then we will pick Butel and Hulaiqin to attack, so that we can also test the actual situation, if Arthurus does not actively support Butel and Hulaiqin, it can be confirmed that he has the intention to annex Kazakhstan." If he fully supports Butel and Hulaiqin, it means that Arthurius is in dire need of a big victory. Once tempted, it will not be difficult to deal with him. ”

In the Kizilqin Desert, 90,000 troops crossed the desert, spreading horizontally for 20 miles, covering the sky with flags, yellow dust, hoarse horses, and human voices.

The yellow sand in the desert undulates like waves, reflecting the dazzling sun, so the temperature inside is much higher than that on the steppe, and the Ottoman and Kazakh soldiers who walk in it sweat profusely;

Because the desert is only 80 miles wide, it can be crossed in half a day, so you don't need to save too much water, and take out a water bladder from time to time to take a few sips.

When the horse's hooves step on the sand, they will not go down a horse's hoof, which is much more tiring than walking on the grassland, and after walking forty or fifty miles, the war horses will be so tired that they will foam at the mouth, and many soldiers can only come down and lead the horses on foot.

Soon, the desert is not wide, and it will be able to pass through it soon, soon!

Normally, yes.

But Arthurius knew that the Qin army was on the eastern edge of the desert, and before he could rest, there might be a fierce battle.

Therefore, he sent Butel Khan's army of 20,000 men as the vanguard, just in case.

Butel Khan was reluctant, he was scared by Li Ding, and when the army was not superior, let him face Li Ding alone, and he was inevitably a little frightened.

But now he is going to recover his territory, and he has no reason to hide behind, so he has to bite the bill and go ahead with trepidation.

Butel sent a large number of scouts, but the further he went, the fewer scouts he found, and the luckily he was able to come back was also unknown, and the two rode more than twenty miles away from the eastern edge of the desert, and were hunted by the Qin army;

At first, they saw some ownerless war horses in the desert, so they went to check, but the Qin army, who was buried in the sand, suddenly opened fire and shot their people one by one.

Later, everyone was not fooled, and the Qin army was no longer ambushed, they were in a group of more than a dozen people, and the rifles they carried had a very long range, and your side had not yet entered the range of bows and arrows, and the other side had already opened fire, and the bullets were whistling, and most of the detectives were shot by the Qin army in this way.

The detective who escaped back by luck said a lot, but he didn't know the movements of the Qin army, which made Butel Khan even more uneasy;

He sent people back to ask Artleus for instructions, hoping to wait for the follow-up army to arrive before killing him in one fell swoop, but was severely reprimanded by Arthurus.

What are you kidding, letting you be a striker is to let you find out the enemy's situation, and when the follow-up army arrives, are you still called a striker?

Butel Khan had no choice but to continue to explore the way.

He sent a large number of scouts, a team of hundreds of people;

Li Ding had expected this, and he also sent a hunting team;

As a result, the armies of the two sides have not yet met, and the reconnaissance team is already in full swing in the desert, with gunfire everywhere, life and death chases everywhere, and bursts of yellow dust.

When Butel Khan's 20,000 men forcibly advanced twenty miles from the east edge of the desert, he suddenly saw the yellow dust in front of him like waves and waves, reaching the sky;

At first glance, he thought there was a sandstorm;

Then I thought about it wrong, because the Kizilqin Desert is narrow from east to west, desert storms are already rare, and they are even more rare in this season.

"Meet the enemy! Meet the enemy! It's the enemy armament war! ”

Butel Khan immediately roared, and for a moment, his army of 20,000 shouted nervously, and the scene was a little panicked.

On the opposite side of Butl Khan, several rows of Qin soldiers spread out for ten miles, cast branches behind their war horses, and rushed straight towards Butl Khan's army, raising a large area of yellow dust to cover the sky and the sun;

And after Huang Chen, Li Ding's army that was waiting for work at ease also began to rush out like a torrent, constantly accelerating, rushing towards the enemy, the war horse neighed, and the killing sound suddenly rose, rushing straight into the sky
