"Report, General, the second general, Qing Gou did not come out in the camp. General Chihe went forward many times, but Qing Gou was unmoved. Because the general had an order first, General Chihe did not dare to cross Wudaogou, so he ordered villains to come and ask for instructions to stop."

In the study room of Zhenyuan City Guardian, the big and small Ce Wangdun Duobu sat opposite each other, and there was a map on the copywriting in the middle. Both brothers were browsing. While they were thinking hard, they saw a horse who rushed out from behind the screen, snatched a few big steps, and pointed at one knee, and quickly reported it.

"Hmph, I don't fight again. What the hell is that Yue's surname is doing? He is not going forward or retreating. Are you playing tricks on me?"

Xiao Ce Wangdun Duobu was anxious. When he heard the horse's words, he became angry and slapped the copywriting suddenly and cursed in anger. No wonder Xiao Ce Wangdun Duobu was annoyed. It has been six days since Yue Zhongqi led his troops to Wudaogou, but it has always been through the river. Even though the Junggar army sent troops to lure the enemy to provoke several times, it was still impossible to inspire the Qing army to cross the river to fight. The two brothers had carefully planned the strategy of annihilation of the Qing army under Zhenyuan City, and all the troops lying in vain.

"Go and pass on the order of this general and let General Chihe retreat first."

Dace Wangdun Duobu's temperament is relatively stable. Although he is very frustrated, it does not occur. He just frowned slightly and ordered it.

"yes!"

Hearing the big plan, the man who reported Ma Zi did not dare to delay any delay. He quickly responded and hurriedly left the study room, leaving the order before going to the army to pass the order.

"Second brother, you can't wait any longer. The main force of Qinggou has taken Shule. The vanguard is approaching Kuche. According to his military force, Kuche cannot hold on for a few days. If the main force of Qinggou takes Korla again, it can threaten our army's future path at any time. Now the plan is to either rush forward and destroy Yue Zhongqi's troops first, or our army simply withdraws. If there are more delays, the consequences may be unimaginable."

Although Xiao Ce Wangdun Duobu was anxious, he was not a brainless person. In just a few words, he pointed out the embarrassment of the Junggar Army at the moment. There was nothing else. The military power of the southern border has been transferred to Zhenyuan City by the two brothers. The rest of the rest are no different from being unprepared. Under the strong offensive of the main force of the Qing army, none of the nearly twenty cities could be defended for three days. Often, the city was broken as soon as the Qing army arrived. Although the main force of the Qing army took a big turn, in most half of the month, the southern border was half under the absolute control of the Qing army. If the progress of the main force of the Qing army was at most twenty days, it would be possible to attack the Turpan Basin. By then, the Junggar Army gathered here would have no way to advance and retreat.

"Well..., then you'll fight. I have a plan for you. If so..., you can break the enemy in Wudaogou. What's the point of the seventh brother?"

Although Dashou Dun Dunbu was suspicious of Yue Zhongqi's delay in relocation, there was something wrong with it, but at the end he was unwilling to miss this great opportunity to break the Qing army first. After hesitating for a while, he finally pondered and made up his mind.

"Okay, without further ado, war will begin tomorrow. Destroy this group of Qingdogs in one fell swoop, and withdraw to Mobei after the fight!"

Xiao Ce Wangdun Duobu thought about it and had a decision in his heart. Then he beat the copy and expressed his attitude loudly. The murderous aura was surging in his words...

At the third hour of the eighth month of the second year of Chengde, the rising sun had risen to the height of the third pole, but it was not very bright. It shone on people, but it was warm. There was nowhere to beside them. The water in Wudaogou was approaching, and the temperature difference between day and night was extremely large. It was indeed extremely hot at noon, but it was very cold at night, just as the folk proverb said - holding a stove to eat watermelon, but the sun just rose, was the most comfortable time of the day. The Qing soldiers all took advantage of this good time to walk out of the tent and relax for a while. The laughter and noise in the camp were mixed together, and only the sentry standing on the high observation deck were still standing meticulously on their posts.

"Woo, woo, woo..."

The perseverance of the sentries will eventually gain something. As soon as the smoke and dust stirred up by the Junggar Cavalry Brigade had just risen from the horizon, the Qing army sentries immediately discovered something wrong, and did not dare to delay it. They all blew the most urgent horns. In an instant, the Qing army officers and soldiers who were laughing and making noise immediately rushed into the tents and quickly equipped them. Then, under the slogans of their respective commanders, they rushed to the open space in the camp. In just one stick of incense, they had already arranged neat formations.

"Report to Commander Yue, the bandits were dispatched in all directions, and the troops were divided into three groups, rushing towards our camp, which was less than seven miles away."

In the central army's tent, Yue Zhongqi, Li Mingliang and Hemin were surrounded by a large sand table and nervously doing pre-war deductions and deployments, but saw a horse hurried in from outside the tent, and a standard thundering thousand was already rushing to report.

"How is the distribution of troops?"

After hearing the noise, Yue Zhongqi immediately raised her head from the sand table, looked at the panting horse in a calm expression, and asked indifferently.

"If you go back to Commander Yue, there are more than 40,000 bandits on the left, all riding, with more than 300 camels and about 70 artillery pieces of various types. According to the banner, the general led by Chihe Maha; the bandits on the right, all riding, more than 45,000 camels and nearly 20 artillery pieces of various types, with nearly 80 artillery pieces of various types, and the general led by Batel; the enemy chiefs, Xiao Ce Wangdun Dunduobu, were all in the central army, with about 70,000 soldiers and horses, and nearly 100 artillery pieces of various types, all dragged by camels, and they were very fast!"

Yue Zhongqi asked, and the man who reported Ma Zi did not dare to neglect it, so he quickly explained the information he had found in detail.

"Take it again!"

After listening to the report from Joe Ma, Yue Zhongqi did not comment. She waved her hand quietly and gave a simple command.

"twitter!"

After Yue Zhongqi had issued an order, the man who reported Ma Zi did not dare to delay any delay. He quickly responded and hurriedly withdrew from the central army's tent and went to the front to detect the post.

"Haha, what a big formation. It seems that Big Cewang is preparing to eat our army in one breath. Is it a big appetite?"

Facing the fierce enemy of five times, ordinary people were probably blinded and their legs were very weak, but Li Mingliang didn't care at all, but when he saw the corner of his mouth, he grunted with extreme disdain.

"Hey, they have to be so eloquent."

He Min smiled and teased him in a light and light manner.

"Start."

Yue Zhongqi ignored the singing and harmony of the two deputy players. She frowned and stared at the sand table for a while, then stood up, clapped her hands, and gave a calm tone.

"twitter!"

Li and the two were joking, but once Yue Zhongqi issued the order, they did not dare to go lightly. After each responded loudly, they immediately went out of the central army's tent. Immediately, the sound of trumpets in the military camp sounded like a stance. Qing soldiers who had already formed a formation in the hollow space of the camp began to move out of the camp one by one, but did not go far, but set up a formation dozens of meters outside the camp. On the front were five regiments led by Li Mingliang, five square formations were arranged in regiments, two heavy artillery and light infantry.

One battalion of artillery and war defense artillery each suppresses the position; the left wing is the second brigade of Xiao Zhenshan and the two regiments assigned by the Second Division of the Second Army. In addition, the first brigade of the Cavalry Brigade, Keluntai, and two companies of light infantry artillery and war defense artillery each suppresses the position; the right wing is the third brigade of Changshancheng and the third brigade of the Second Division of the Second Army to cooperate, and two companies of light infantry artillery and war defense artillery each suppresses the position. The rest of the troops stayed in the battalion as a reserve team. As for Yue Zhongqi himself, he climbed the high watchtower to be responsible for comprehensive command of the operation.

The Qing army set up an iron barrel formation, and its three-sided troops were almost connected, leaving only a few passages for the cavalry to attack, but they all blocked the possibility of breakthroughs by the Junggar cavalry with dozens of machine guns. As for the rear camp, there were no more troops because it was close to a large sand dune. It was just a stance to guard against the troops at the top of the sand dune.

"I will order the general: the central army will stop, arrange the local array, and immediately set up a pontoon bridge to cross the river!"

The three armies of Junggar were all riding and were moving very fast. Not long after the Qing army had arranged defense lines around the camp, Dace Wangdun Duobu had already led the middle army to Wudaogou first. Seeing that the Qing army on the other side of the river had already formed a formation, they did not dare to launch a strong attack directly. Instead, they waved their hand to stop the running army more than a hundred meters away from Wudaogou. After watching the Qing army array with a serious expression for a while, they then made a series of orders with a solemn expression.

Wudaogou is just a small river, neither wide nor deep, and all people can cross the river, but it is not easy to cross the river with heavy weapons such as cannons and crossbows. Although the Junggar Army had hundreds of artillery, most of them were old artillery, with a range of only about two hundred steps. As for the more than 60 newer artillery provided by the Russians, the range was only less than four hundred steps. The Qing army array was far away a mile across the river. Even if the cannons were placed along the river, they could not attack the Qing army's positions. If they wanted to play a role, they could only drag them across the river.
