Chapter 259: I can only betray you(1/2)

The key to winning the war is to seize all fleeting opportunities. The Yarkand Khanate is sure that it has seized the opportunity.

Fifty thousand troops gathered and quickly marched towards Hami City.

The army of the Ming Empire did not hide in the city, but lined up outside the city, waiting for their appearance.

As the army quickly advanced outside the city, the two armies once again had a confrontation.

The difference is that the last time was the Ming Empire's 40,000 people against the Yarkand Khanate, and this time was the 50,000 people against the Yarkand Khanate, and 10,000 people against the Ming Empire.

This time, the number of troops of the Yarkand Khanate far exceeded that of the Ming Empire, which gave them great confidence.

Although they had heard of the last defeat of their own army and were even wiped out, they still felt that they could defeat their opponents after they had too many people.

Facing the enemy army that was five times higher than his own, Sun Chuanting, who was guarding Hami City, had no worries. He did not even stay on the city wall, but stood in front of the army.

Looking at the enemy troops, what I thought about was the strategic deployment after defeating these people.

The army of the Yarkand Khanate came from the far west and took a long time on the road. It took more than two days to get the news and then to the army reaching the city of Hami.

They stopped in front of the Ming army, as if they wanted to see the reaction of the Ming army.

If the Ming army knew each other, they should surrender voluntarily, after all, they have an army of 50,000.

Nashun, the general of the Yarkand Khanate, believed that the war was defeated because his army was far smaller than that of the other side, and the opponent did have more firearms.

But now, although these Ming troops are equipped with advanced weapons, the number of their own troops is far greater than that of them.

So Nashun thinks victory should belong to them.

At this time, the Yarkand Khanate army was approaching, and these Ming troops were outnumbered and would inevitably be defeated.

Perhaps he didn't need to participate in the battle at all. If these Ming troops saw so many enemies, they might be willing to surrender voluntarily.

Nashun did not rush to start a war, but Sun Chuanting here couldn't stand it anymore.

Directly order the artillery team to start shooting.

The ten thousand people left behind were the Qin army infantry regiment equipped with 100 light mortars. After the battle started, hundreds of artillery fired together.

In addition, there are ten field battle destroying cannons, with larger shells, longer ranges and greater power.

It is mainly used in siege battles, and there is no city that can withstand the bombing of the Breaking Cannon.

The Ming Empire's destroying cannon was a product of centuries ahead of this era.

Such a powerful firearm, facing the army of these countries that cannot even achieve standard production of bows and arrows, is a massacre.

Even if the Ming Empire had less than 10,000 troops, while the other side had 50,000 troops.

In the first round of artillery attacks, the reactions of these people were exactly the same as the army of the 20,000 Yarkand Khanate that attacked the Ming Empire.

They all were stunned first, then panicked and ran away with their heads in their arms.

Faced with such things that go beyond their cognition, everything can only be attributed to the level of the gods.

That kind of shock to the soul is indescribable.

Especially when seeing the bloody pictures of the broken limbs and broken limbs, they were unable to stay calm.

The emotions of fear are contagious, and when fear and fear are intertwined, they will lose their minds.

The artillery fired very quickly in the Ming Empire. The mortars were almost three shots in one minute, and fifteen shots in five minutes, causing a very large fire coverage.

The army of the Yarkand Khanate was very dense, so the death toll was even greater.

The number of deaths caused was batch by batch, basically there was no living person within the explosion range.

After the shelling, the musketeers were dispatched.

Line shooting, advance quickly, and launch an annihilated attack on the soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate.

I thought they could surrender through the last war and feel the power of the Ming Empire.

Unexpectedly, this country dared to send troops to resist.

That must be because they were not beaten hard enough and they were not killed enough, so they could not feel real fear.

Then let these people feel what despair is once again.

When Nashun, the general of the Yarkand Khanate, was attacked by artillery, acted no differently from other soldiers. He was stunned first, then panicked, and finally became frightened, and then ran away quickly, not daring to stay in the battlefield anymore.

The generals are like this, not to mention other soldiers. The 50,000 troops were defeated and scattered in a hurry.

At the end of the war, more than 10,000 people were killed, and half of the remaining people ran away. Nearly 15,000 people were captured by the Ming Empire.

These people will be taken over by the Huangxia Chamber of Commerce and escorted to Siberia as war criminals for railway construction.

Of course, to the west, the Ming Empire also wanted to build railways, but the planning needs to be further backward.

Nowadays, a large-scale country spends money like flowing water, and it needs to be saved a little, and the construction of the railway network needs to be carried out step by step.

Just after the army of the Yarkand Khanate fled, the Northwest Army and another 10,000 Qin troops returned.

The conquest of the Junggar tribe did not last long, and they are still very fragile now.

The two armies quickly flattened the battlefield.

Then, Huangxia mercenaries cleaned up the mess, the Northwest Army and the Qin army returned, and continued to use troops to the Yarkand Khanate.

As soon as he came back, he found that Sun Chuanting had led 10,000 troops to defeat the 50,000 people from the Yarkand Khanate.

Three thousand people were left to guard the prisoners, and the remaining army gathered and continued to advance towards the capital of the Yarkand Khanate.

This time, there was no lane change in the middle and I soon arrived under its royal city.

General Nashun escaped by chance. His little family was in the royal city, so of course he quickly ran away in the direction of the royal city.

So, we arrived here one step before the army of the Ming Empire.

Then he reported the war to the Khan.

"The army of the Ming Empire is invincible. Their artillery and muskets are really amazing!" he said.

The Khan of the Yarkand Khanate was stunned when he heard this, not knowing what to say, his eyes were full of despair.

After he realized it, there was only one idea in his mind, which was to escape from this place quickly.

For the current plan, there is only one way to escape to other countries.

Not any country dares to confront the Ming Empire. We must find a country that will prevent the Ming Empire from attacking easily.

This country must have a certain strength, even if it pays a huge price.

Surviving is the most important thing.

Finally, he decided to escape to the Kazakh Khanate in the northwest direction.

The Kazakh Khanate is also a country founded by descendants of the Mongolian Golden Family, and was founded by Sultan Krekhan and Janibek Khan of the Shuchi clan.

The Kazakh Khanate occupied a larger territory, and the area they lived in was called the Qinzha Grassland.

At this time, the Kazakh Khanate was at its peak and was divided into large tents, medium tents, and small tents.

The central tent is in the highlands of central Kazakhstan, the small tent is from the Ural River to the Caspian Sea, and the large tent is west of Lake Balkash to Turkestan.

Its territory extends to the Ertzis River in the east, to the Ischm River in the north, to Turgei Prefecture, Omsk, to the Caspian Sea in the west, to the Sir River in the south.

Around 1525, the two hundred years of war between the Erath Mongolian system and the Kazakh Khanate began.

The Kazakh Khanate defeated the attack of Erat and occupied the western part of the Junggar Khanate.

Now, the Ming Empire has eliminated the Weila Mongols, the Kazakh Khanate has lost its opponents, and its national strength has reached its peak.

At this time, Jianger Khan was in power, who had just succeeded to the throne in the first year of Chongzhen. It was a time to work hard to govern and strive for strength.

At this time, they were even more arrogant than the Yarkand Khanate. As the former golden family, they were arrogant.

Originally, the Junggar tribe in the east became strong and often attacked the Kazakh Khanate.

Jianger Khan joined forces with Bukhara Khan and Yarkand Khan to fight back against the attack of the Junggar nobles.

Yarkand Khan fled to the Kazakh Khanate at this time, which made Jianger Khan feel very proud.

The Yarkand Khanate used to belong to the Golden Family. Everyone was equal before, but now, the Yarkand Khan is respectful to himself, and such comfort is indescribable.

"Don't worry, we are all from the Golden Family, so we naturally need to help us. You live with me now and wait for me to send troops to regain the occupied land for you." Jiangerhan said boldly.

Originally, Yarkand Khan was worried that the Kazakh Khanate Jianger Khan would not dare to send troops to fight against him because of the strength of the Ming Empire, and might even hand him over. He felt much more relieved after hearing this.

It turns out that brothers are the most reliable!

Just as Yerkand Khan was feeling the loyalty of Jianger Khan, the army of the Ming Empire had already arrived near Lake Balkash.

Lake Balkhash is one of the few lakes in the world where salty lakes account for half of the water.

Both countries usually use this as a border to make control requirements.

In the battle for the Yarkand Khanate, possession of this lake is very important.

So after occupying about one-fifth of the land of the Yarkand Khanate, Sun Chuanting ordered some soldiers not to clean up.

Their main task is to occupy this lake.

The ownership of this lake is actually controversial, and the Yarkand Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate have some conflicts because of this.
