Chapter 836 Ambush

In the 13th year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty, the ground of Turpan was densely filled with fire and engulfing Huozhou and Liucheng, and became king. The royal capital Anle City (Turpan)

From then on, the political, economic and cultural centers of Turpan began to be formed in today's Turpan.

In the 23rd year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, Aheima was called Khan in Turpan in the eastern part of the Chagatai Khanate, and established his capital in Turpan. In the fourth year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty, the Yarkand Khanate occupied Turpan.

It can be said that since the Western Han Dynasty, Turpan has been included in the Chinese territory. Even if Hassan does not cross the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian would not allow the Yarkand Khanate to exist for too long. Once the surrounding areas are cleaned up, the Western Regions will still be next.

Although Turpan is a basin, it also has the legendary Flame Mountain, the lowest altitude of China, and the Silk Road in China. There are oasis everywhere on the Silk Road, and it has been a must-fight place for military strategists since ancient times.

Zhang Fugui and Meng Liang led a 15,000 army to be the vanguard of the Little Tigers, with cavalry in front and camels behind, galloping along the oasis to Turpan.

Although the young players of the Little Tigers are not old, they are not only influenced by their families, but also studied at the Royal Military Academy. They have researched on geographical and environmental tactics.

Seeing the continuous hills appearing in front of him, Zhuge Mengliang turned around and said to Zhang Fugui beside him:

"Fugui, look at the hill ahead!"

"Stop moving forward!"

Zhang Fugui waved his hand and ordered the army to stop advancing, took off his telescope and looked at where Meng Liang pointed:

"If we talk about positional warfare, the Ming army is definitely an invincible existence in the Western Regions, but we are not familiar with the geographical environment here for the first time, so we must be careful. Xiao Liangzi reminded me that there is a good place to fight ambush ahead."

Meng Liang nodded:

"The soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate are similar to the Eight Banners of the East Abductors and are good at riding and shooting. We must be wary of their hidden arrows injuring people. We must not only win the battle, but also minimize casualties under our command.

Let's do this, I'll take two thousand men to check the situation. You are here to protect the camel caravan. Once our team is attacked, you can still divide 5,000 people to support. Remember to leave at least 5,000 people to protect the camel caravan. Once the camel caravan is attacked, we may have to go home."

Zhang Fugui is the chief general of this army, and Meng Liang is the military advisor of this army. He usually likes to play and make trouble, but the two cooperate very well during the war.

Zhang Fugui patted Meng Liang on the shoulder, his eyes full of concern:

"Brother, be careful. Once attacked, even if the team is ordered to withdraw, the Great Western Regions do not care about such a short time. First of all, we must ensure the safety of our subordinates and ourselves. If the boss blames it, I will take responsibility."

Meng Liang bowed and said:

"You don't need to take responsibility. One person does things and one person does it. Ma Cao Niu Wu leads two teams of thousands of people to explore the way with me."

"yes"

The two thousand men waved their hand and immediately two thousand men gathered in front:

"Although there are no trees on the hill ahead, there are still some weeds. When you go to the hill two hundred meters away, you can shoot blindly on the mountain. Once you are in the situation, you will immediately find a place to hide and find a machine to shoot."

Both thousand households were borrowed by Qi Jijun. When they saw the team stop, they immediately judged Meng Liang's actions. Before Meng Liang could speak, they had already made a plan.

Meng Liang nodded:

"Yes, the artillery brought a hundred light mortars, entered the ravine and fired a gun, and fired one for me ten meters."

"yes"

Is there anyone on the hill? Of course there is an ambush. Yaowa led 5,000 cavalry lying on the mountain. They were holding bows and arrows in their hands, preparing to give the Ming army a thousand arrows first, and then the cavalry charged.

Only the commander had a single-bar telescope. When the Ming army stopped, they could not see it at all. Just as they were impatient, they suddenly saw a cavalry coming from the valley ahead of them.

"Haha... there is only one way to go through the large army. I don't believe that the Ming army will not come. As expected, it's not as I expected."

Before Yaowa finished speaking, the deputy generals beside him hurriedly used their horse shooting skills:

"The general's magic tricks are so good that the Ming army will definitely not escape this disaster. The warriors prepare the bows and arrows in your hands, just waiting for the general's order to release the arrows."

Yaowa's father was Prime Minister Yarkand Khan. He was arrogant and he began to float when he heard the bullshit words under his command. He even fantasized about the Ming army being shot into a hedgehog.

Seeing the Ming army approaching, Yaowa whispered:

"Everything is ready for me, and wait until the Ming army is eighty steps away from us."

"yes"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he saw the Ming army slowing down, and dozens of people were walking in front of him carrying some iron pipes.

He stopped about three hundred steps away from them, and then placed the iron pipe on the ground.

Soon two soldiers pushed a small car forward, and they took out conical objects from the car and stuffed them into the iron pipe.

"What is Mingdog doing?"

"I don't know! I should prepare to make a fire and cook..."

"It's not about cooking with fire. You see, Mingdo put that conical thing into the iron pipe..."

The Ming army's operation of filling shells immediately confused the soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate. How could they have thought that something would explode?

"Swish..."

Suddenly they saw the thing that was packaged by the Ming army and flew out of the iron pipe quickly, and one of them fell beside several soldiers.

"Look at what it is..."

A few soldiers were about to go over and take a look when a mortar shell suddenly exploded:

"Boom..."

Two soldiers were blown away instantly, and three soldiers were injured. The soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate had never seen such a powerful thing, and they were shocked at that time.

Then several mortar shells fell beside some other soldiers, and more than a dozen soldiers were killed.

It was not until this time that the soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate realized that the iron pipes of the Ming army were not used for cooking, but for killing artifacts, and there was a sudden chaos.

Meng Liang grabbed the telescope and watched, and soon noticed the movements on the mountain. He smiled coldly:

"The musketeers line up, and the artillery targets are on the hill ahead of me, fire the general!"

"yes"

The musketeers immediately began to line up, and the artillery targeted Meng Liang's direction and fired continuous artillery bombardment.

Although they only carry dozens of light mortars, the most important thing is that they have a fast firing rate. One mortar can fire a mortar shell in just one breath.

"Boom..."

Mortar shells fell with parabolas at the hiding place of the soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate, and they only exploded their flesh and blood and fled in all directions.

Yaowa was also confused by the mortar bomb. When he saw the soldiers running away with their heads in their arms, he hurriedly sent an order:

"There are not many dogs in Ming, so you are not allowed to run away. Get on the horse and charge. As long as you kill them, they will be the lambs to be slaughtered. Those who retreat will be killed without mercy..."

There was no way. Although they had bows and arrows that had been prepared in their hands, the distance between the Ming army and them was more than 300 steps, which was not the range of the bows and arrows at all.

With Yaowa's order, the commanders of each team immediately gathered their commands, and turned over and rushed towards the Ming army in the explosion of the mortar.
