Chapter 938: Rushing to the Battle
***
Qin Mu was thinking about how to dig a hole for the Japanese in Nanjing, so as to completely control Japan in terms of currency and grain.
His henchman Su Jin was in Central Asia, thousands of miles away, thinking of taking the enemy by surprise and saving the enemy.
Regarding the trap that Yang Ji'er set up under the Twin Peaks Mountain with his body as bait, Su Jin only smelled a hint of danger and immediately made a detour to kill Turkestan City.
It is about one hundred and fifty miles away from Shuangfeng Mountain to Turkestan City, and it is only about fifty miles or two hundred miles to go south by detouring to the Red Bridge, which is enough to kill the city in one day for the Qin army with one person and three horsemen.
The Qin army rolled south, setting off a cloud of yellow dust covering the sky and the sun.
Seeing this scene, the Kazakh Great Khan Yang Jier was anxious, and there were only 5,000 defenders left in Turkestan City, if the firearms of the Qin army were really as good as Mu Yi Rufeng said, the 5,000 defenders might not be able to hold out for long.
Yang Ji'er never expected that as the king of a country, Qin Jun didn't take him in his eyes and abandoned him, which made him very ashamed.
Now that the situation is urgent, he can't take care of much, and immediately sent his general Aliuerke with 5,000 light cavalry to chase after the Qin army.
He himself led an army of more than 50,000 and rushed back to Turkestan by the same route.
The earth was violently beaten by the hooves of countless horses, trembling, and everywhere it passed, the beasts fled, the birds flew one after another, and the yellow dust rose from the sky, as if the whole of Central Asia was shrouded in billowing smoke and dust.
It's like a race between us and the enemy, with different routes and the same goal.
In the short-range sprint, Yang Jier's Arabian horses have the advantage; But in terms of endurance, Su Jin's Mongolian horses are much stronger. In addition, they were one person and three riders, and they could take turns to change cars, so although the distance was 50 miles more, the time to reach the city of Turkestan was about the same.
Aliuerke was in charge of chasing the enemy, and Yang Ji'er gave him a death order to drag the Qin army no matter what. didn't run anywhere, he could only bite it desperately.
At this time, Su Jin would be entangled with him, leaving a thousand men and horses for the guerrilla Wu Tian to block the enemy, and he continued to run towards Turkestan with the main force.
A few dozen miles from the city of Turkestan, large farmlands and villages began to appear on the banks of the Syr Darya River. Since the invasion of the army into Central Asia, there are almost no agricultural areas to be seen, all of which are mountains, rivers and pastures, and nomadic tribes.
Before, I only saw some farming people in the valley of the Shiba River. But nowhere near as dense as Turkestan cities. From a purely military point of view, the battle readiness of the city of Turkestan on the plain is not as important as that of the city of Shattered Leaves;
The reason why the Kazakhs chose to make the capital here is obviously because of the large agricultural area here. The people of the village fled in panic, and Su Jin and they flew by, not paying any attention to them.
In addition to eating and drinking, the army of nearly 20,000 men traveled almost non-stop, traveled 200 miles, and spent four hours, and finally reached the outside of Turkestan in the evening.
The defenders of the city of Turkestan are already out of their sheaths. Bow on the string and be ready for battle. Looking at the rolling black iron stream, they all looked solemn and uneasy.
The Qin army has been demonized. There are all kinds of rumors circulating in the city, and some people even say that the Qin army is a monster with three heads and six arms, eating human flesh. Drink human blood and do all kinds of evil.
Qin Jun was rumored to be very vicious, and he had heard too many such rumors. The Kazakh soldiers defending the city inevitably felt a little apprehensive.
At this time, Yang Jier's tens of thousands of troops, hurrying slowly, finally rushed back to the outside of Turkestan.
As soon as he received the report from the reconnaissance cavalry, the staff officer Qian Da immediately said: "General, the enemy army only has one horse per person, and the war horse must have been very tired after galloping back all the way, General, you can't let Yang Ji'er retreat into the city." ”
General Chen Runan also immediately said: "Yes, we have three horses for one person, and the endurance of the war horse is also stronger than theirs, and the fatigue is not light, the enemy must be even worse, general, please give the order, this is the perfect time to defeat Yang Ji'er." ”
Su Jin immediately shouted: "Change horses!" ”
In addition to the 2,000 Qin troops equipped with flintlock rifles, under Su Jin's order, the cavalry composed of 18,000 Tubo people were all replaced with new war horses.
Su Jin ordered Li Sheng to send dozens of soldiers to carry rockets to clear the way for the army.
In an instant, the 18,000 iron hooves that had completed the change of horses, under the leadership of Chen Runan, rushed towards Yang Ji'er's army in the east.
The two sides were only a few miles apart at this time, and the long yellow dust covered the sky and the sun, and countless iron hooves knocked on the ground, making the city of Turkestan tremble.
A great war is coming, the plains are reckless, the rivers are lingering, the mountains are disputed, and the wind is sad. The grass is broken, the horses are galloping like the Milky Way overturning, and the mighty air is full of evil in the sky. At this point, you can roar, you can howl, but you can't back down.
Hu Tian hung low, the banner was long, the birds and beasts were extinct, the sand was blowing, and the two cavalry did not have time to make more arrangements, and they were like the huge waves of a hurricane, quickly colliding away.
Two hundred steps, first of all, the rockets of the Qin army began to exert their might, and in the long yellow dust, dozens of flames swept into the sky, like meteors hitting the moon, and smashed down fiercely towards the angry battle formation of the Kazakhs.
In the earth-shattering sound of iron hooves, a fierce explosion was deafening, and a ball of fire rose up, which knocked down the Kazakh cavalry one after another, and the men and horses screamed miserably, like a wave crashing on the shore, and the front was suddenly in chaos.
"Kill!" Chen Runan roared, and took nearly 20,000 black-clothed iron horsemen to dig into the gap opened by the rocket.
The moment the two armies collided with each other, the murderous aura destroyed the mountain, the thunder and lightning collapsed, the sound penetrated the nine skies, and bursts of arrow rain rose from the middle of the Qin army's battle array, like dark clouds covering the sky, swishing down at the enemy, and the soldiers on the periphery of the battle array were constantly slashing with their swords, and their momentum was like a rainbow, unstoppable.
Looking down from the sky, I saw that the yellow dust was billowing and on the huge battlefield nearly ten miles wide, a black iron stream ruthlessly ploughed through the middle of the huge army formation of the Kazakhs;
Although the Kazakhs were numerous, they were like the waves of the sea, and they were ploughed and rolled in both directions, and bursts of red blood spurted out, and the screams were terrifying, like countless ghosts crying.
Wherever the black iron flow passed, the banner was destroyed, and the corpses were everywhere
This battle came in such a hurry that the Kazakhs, who had been running wild for a day, had time to think about it, did not have time to hesitate, and did not even have time to take a breath, and ushered in the stormy impact of the Qin army;
The hooves of the war horse under the crotch were weak, and he could barely run. The cavalry, having lost its shock power, was inferior to the infantry.
Yang Ji'er looked at the battlefield full of smoke and dust and the sound of killing, and never expected that his three times the enemy's strength would be like a wall of sand under the impact of the enemy.
After nearly 20,000 Qin troops fiercely chiseled through the middle of the Kazakh battle formation, they were immediately divided into two, with Chen Runan and Huo Dongsheng each leading a group of men and horses, turning around and digging into the enemy's rear again.
The two armies collided, slaughtered each other, pierced the bones, struck the sand, and resounded through the four fields with horses' hooves, shouts, and howls, like an angry sea, wave after wave.
"Great Khan, defeated, defeated!"
"Great Khan, there is another enemy pressing on the opposite side, it's a firearm, it's a firearm, the Great Khan go quickly"
The generals and soldiers around him kept howling, Yang Ji'er had never encountered such a chaotic war, it happened so fast, so fast that he still didn't have time to give a correct order.
Just in front of him, another two thousand Qin troops rushed over, the speed was not fast, but the sound of gunshots, the rain of bullets made people around him fall constantly, and the flaming cannonballs, whistling, launching an earth-shattering roar, one by one the war horses were blown apart, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Yang Ji'er was shocked to the point that his eyes were dizzy, his ear drums were buzzing, and the pervasive gunpowder smoke and billowing smoke and dust made him almost unable to distinguish between north and south, west and east, and could only rampage with a war horse.
The defenders at the head of the city of Turkestan were all in extreme shock at this moment, and they forgot to close their mouths open, and the tens of thousands of Kazakh troops outside the city were constantly chiseled through by the black-clothed and armored Qin army, and they were in a mess, like countless ants running away in all directions under the torrent, screaming like ghosts crying wolves;
Every moment, countless people fall off their horses, and then they are trampled by scattered iron hooves, and the thick smell of blood makes people almost suffocate, this is not the world, this is hell, the most terrifying hell
