Chapter 327: Destroying the Dzungar
"Report~~! The enemy attacks, the enemy attacks."&1t;/p>
A scout came and sent a warning message to the 18th Division, which was marching. At this time, the 18th Division had just entered the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and was an infantry division that entered the war zone relatively late, but it happened to encounter the enemy situation.&1t;/p>
Luo Yiguan, the commander of the 18th Division, was originally a lieutenant general in Liaodong Town, and was also the first batch of officers to be promoted after the abolition of Liaodong Town.&1t;/p>
"What is the enemy?" Luo Yiguan asked the detective cavalry.&1t;/p>
"The number of enemy cavalry is unknown, with no less than 30,000 troops and horses attacking twenty miles northwest." Report on the Scout Cavalry.&1t;/p>
"The entire army unfolds its formation and prepares for the battle." Luo Yiguan immediately issued an order, and the 18th Division immediately unfolds its formation in a flat basin.&1t;/p>
Although the 18th Division has not been on the battlefield since its establishment, the veterans still account for one-third. Moreover, the 18th Division belongs to the Central Field Army and has extremely strict training.&1t;/p>
Let's order it, the 18th Division took less than ten minutes to set the formation open.&1t;/p>
After waiting for nearly three quarters of an hour, a rumble tremble came from the earth, and a black line appeared in the distance, and a huge cavalry unit was approaching.&1t;/p>
The battle was not brewing at all, and the invading Junggar cavalry rushed straight towards the 18th Division like a sharp knife.&1t;/p>
Boom boom boom boom...&1t;/p>
A large number of artillery roared at the attacking cavalry, and shells shot out quickly, and in an instant, white smoke rose up.&1t;/p>
The shells were shot into the cavalry, and a Junggar cavalry was beaten into meat paste by solid bullets on the spot. However, the 18th Division was only equipped with infantry cannons, and the power was not that great. Many shells lost their potential energy after piercing through two or three people.&1t;/p>
What is really tragic is when the cavalry entered five hundred meters. The infantry cannons of the 18th Division were replaced with shotguns. A shotgun formed a dense metal storm in the sound of cannons. They hit the cavalry group with head-on face. Pieces of Junggar cavalry screamed and fell off their horses, and war horses fell to the ground, making painful neighing.&1t;/p>
The sound of cannons continued, and the entire formation of the 18th Division was covered with smoke, as if it was in a fairyland of clouds and mist, and it was impossible to see what was far away.&1t;/p>
The fierce artillery fire almost collapsed the fighting will of the Junggar cavalry.&1t;/p>
But the Junggar nobles had no way out. £nding £n points £n small £n theory, .2◎3.o £&1t; s="arn:2p o 2p o">&1t;srp p="/aasrp">s_();&1t;/srp>&1t;/> can only continue to lead the cavalry to charge. However, such a charge is destined to have become a suicide. The Ming infantry in front of them had already stuck the bayonet at the muzzle and arranged it into hollow square formations and was solemn.&1t;/p>
When the Junggar nobles risked being killed by artillery and led the Junggar cavalry to the 18th Division, they were directly desperate when facing these secondary sword walls.&1t;/p>
There was no room for anything, they just bumped into it.&1t;/p>
A massacre began, not a cavalry slaughter of infantry, but a cavalry slaughter of cavalry. These long-trained infantry in the Ming Empire were not three-legged cats. The cavalry rushed up faced a bayonet wall like a hedgehog. The war horses involuntarily slowed down, and then stabbed each other.&1t;/p>
But the cavalry riding on horseback can't stab the infantry? And it's also dense infantry. Before the sabers of these cavalry could cut the infantry, several holes were stabbed into their bodies by several bayonets.&1t;/p>
Some Junggar cavalry equipped with maces, the only way to injure Ming army infantry is to throw the maces out, and some Ming army soldiers were indeed injured.&1t;/p>
Only those Junggar cavalry equipped with spears have the ability to stab the Ming army infantry, which means that one Ming army soldier is replaced, and then the Ming army is stabbed from the back.&1t;/p>
These Ming soldiers were well-trained, did not panic at the time of the battle, and knew how to cooperate with each other. The formation of the Junggar cavalry, which had been hit by artillery, had long become sparse, and rushing to them was like delivering vegetables.&1t;/p>
The officers and soldiers of the 18th Division stabbed the cavalry who rushed to the front to death, just like slaughtering cavalry.&1t;/p>
More and more cavalry rushed to the front of the 18th Division, and the battle became fierce. While the Ming army continued to kill and injure the Junggar cavalry, the casualties began to increase.&1t;/p>
However, both sides were running one after another, and the neighing of the war horses was accompanied by the shouts of fighting. Most of the soldiers did not scream when they were killed. The secretion of adrenaline blocked their pain.&1t;/p>
The scene began to become chaotic. On the battlefield where people were surging, the Ming army was in chaos and orderly. The hollow square formations that were grouped together were like reefs flooded by huge waves. However, the waves receded, and the reefs remained tenaciously.&1t;/p>
However, the Junggars were still fighting wildly. They had no way out. They seemed to have forgotten their life and death. Even though they knew that rushing to the bayonet wall was a dead end, they still rode their horses up.&1t;/p>
The brave ones won the narrow road. The fierce battle lasted for nearly two hours. Blood stained the earth red. The bodies were layered on the ground, all over the place, and there were also war horses. The Junggar cavalry became even more crazy, but the more crazy it was, the more desperate it was.&1t;/p>
Finally, the last Junggar cavalry fell under the bayonet of the Ming army. The scene was immersed in for more than ten seconds, and then the officers and soldiers of the 18th Division burst into a shout of victory.&1t;/p>
Win, they win!&1t;/p>
While cheering for victory, they also admire these Junggar cavalry in their hearts, and these Junggar cavalry use their lives to fight.&1t;/p>
This also subverts the impression of many officers and soldiers of these nomadic peoples. In their impression, even Jiannu is a group of robbers with weak fighting will. When these robbers fight, they all look like wolves when they fight against the wind, but once they become a headwind, they are like dogs that are stray.&1t;/p>
But these Junggar cavalry are different. They fought to the end.&1t;/p>
Even though they admire them, they are still enemies. The only thing they are used to express their respect is to do their best to treat the wounded Junggar cavalry who are not dead on the battlefield.&1t;/p>
Not only the 18th Division encountered the fierce Junggar cavalry, but the fierce battle continued to explode in the Junggar Basin.&1t;/p>
The battle between the cavalry on both sides continued to explode. Although these Junggar cavalry were very brave, they still couldn't help but hate the battlefield and were defeated by the Ming cavalry.&1t;/p>
No Junggar cavalry surrendered voluntarily. After the Ming army commander Lu Xiangsheng showed that the Junggar cohesion was relatively strong, he accelerated the pace of war, mobilized superior forces, and pressed forward step by step towards the Junggar tribe.&1t;/p>
The Junggar nobles tried to use a desperate battle to force the Ming army to retreat. After the Junggar proved that they could not defeat them, they stepped up their strategic retreat while trying to attack the Ming army's rear.&1t;/p>
However, after Lu Xiangsheng accelerated the pace of war, the Ming army's march increased greatly, and they attacked cities and villages along the way, destroying one Junggar city after another and camp.&1t;/p>
For those Junggar cavalry who fought bravely, the Ming army had no kindness, and they would all be - kill! Kill! Kill!&1t;/p>
After the war lasted for a month, the Ming army had killed the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains so that there was no yurt, and the war continued.&1t;/p>
Although this war killed the Junggar Basin to the point of blood, the Ming army did not carry out any massacres against the Junggar tribe. All the killings were the Junggar cavalry who went onto the battlefield, and the elderly, weak, women and children had been withdrawn by the Junggar tribe. In order to speed up the retreat, the Junggar tribe killed all the cattle and sheep that retreated too slowly, leaving no supplies for the Ming army.&1t;/p>
After a month of battle, the main force of the Junggar tribe had been forced into the Altai area by the Ming army. At this time, the Junggar no longer had any way out, and a large number of elderly, weak, women and children were concentrated in Altai. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
