Chapter 235: Ye Erqiang, who is in retreat
The Ming army was advancing rapidly. In fact, the Ming army was not prepared to fight a protracted war in this war. The army brought military rations and combat supplies that lasted for a month.
Among the 15 infantry divisions participating in this battle, ten infantry divisions were equipped with a large number of horses for infantry contingency.
The cavalry troops took the lead in rushing towards the Hami area at an extremely fast speed. When the cavalry troops arrived in Hami, Abdulaxiang was still organizing the evacuation of Ham. The troops of Abdulaxiang were still several days away from Hami. Although the personnel in the Hami area were evacuating, they did not have much force to protect them.
So the battle turned into a one-sided massacre, and the cavalry troops slashed and slashed everywhere, as if they were in a no-man's realm. Soon, these alien races gave up their resistance and obediently knelt on the ground and surrendered.
The cavalry easily captured Hami and captured a large number of people and livestock. When Abdullah arrived in Turpan, he realized that Hami had fallen and most of the people had not had time to retreat.
The situation was suddenly a bit tricky for Abdullah. The Ming army was advancing too fast. If they could not stop their advancement, what was the point of harassing the Ming army's transportation line?
If a large number of troops were sent to harass the Ming army's supply line, their rear would be ruined by the Ming army, but if there were fewer troops sent to harassment, it would obviously not have any effect.
Just when Abdula was in trouble, the Ming army's cavalry had swept like a strong wind, and in just three days it was coming to Turpan.
The Yarkand Khanate still established a city wall in Turpan. Compared with Mongolia, the Yarkand Khanate has some handicraft and engineering construction capabilities. However, the city wall in Turpan is too simple in front of the Ming army. However, for the cavalry, there is really no big solution to such a city wall.
When Wang Guoxiong, who was responsible for commanding the cavalry battle, saw that the main force of the Yarkand Khanate had arrived in Turpan, he naturally would not attack the city directly. When the large troops behind him arrived, the main force of the Yarkand Khanate would dare to hide in Turpan City, which would be a turtle in the jar.
Therefore, Wang Guoxiong was not in a hurry to lure the enemy out of the city. If the enemy in Turpan was smart, he would naturally run away, just block it on their necessary path.
The Ming army's 80,000 cavalry directly blocked nearly 100,000 enemy troops in Turpan City. The 80,000 cavalry alone made Abudula extremely headache.
From a distance, the Ming soldiers rode strong war horses and wore armor, which were still woven with steel sheets. The movement was orderly and neat.
Abudulaxiang also heard some rumors about the Ming cavalry among the Mongolians. When they saw it today, they were extremely panicked.
Because the Ming army had too many cavalry, it was far more than the Mongolians said.
When did the Ming Dynasty have so many cavalry?
"It must be the people from Mongolia and Usizang who sold a large number of war horses to the Ming Dynasty." Abdulaxiang was so angry that he cursed.
Those ***ers actually sold their war horses to the Ming Dynasty. Now they are reaping their own consequences! They will also affect their Yarkand Khanate.
Abudulaxiang's mood suddenly became disgusting as if it was sunny, and even the cavalrymen in front of him could not deal with it. Why do you ask for food off after going around?
Moreover, the Ming army usually has larger infantry sizes. What should we do when the Ming army infantry arrives?
Thinking of this, Abdula Xiang was even more panicked.
How can I know if the Ming cavalry is a slut?
So Abudula sent troops out of the city frequently to fight fiercely with the Ming army, but the result was that Abudula felt cold in his heart.
When these Ming troops were fighting, the dense array had too great advantages. Moreover, the armor on their bodies was difficult to break, so the cavalry he sent was cut off by the Ming cavalry in just a few strokes.
Seeing the terribleness of the Ming cavalry, waiting left and right was not a solution. Abdula made a quick decision, that was to rush out and could not continue to stay in Turpan.
After some preparation, on that night, a group of cavalry rushed out of Turpan City.
Various sounds cut through the quiet night, and a group of cavalrymen rushed out of Turpan City. The Ming army outside the city was a cavalry unit, so it was impossible to block these cavalry in the city.
Seeing that the main force of the Yarkand Khanate was about to run away, Wang Guoxiong immediately asked most of the cavalry to send two thousand cavalry out as shit sticks, and the other cavalry continued to rest.
It was very dark that night, and there was no moonlight at all. On such a dark night, it was a big problem to argue with the enemy and us.
So the two thousand cavalry sent by Wang Guoxiong immediately frightened the main force of the Yarkand Khanate, who had evacuated 100,000 times. After being chased and killed, the scene became very chaotic. In the end, even the two thousand Ming troops sent were in chaos.
It was not until dawn that they went back to their own houses to find their own mothers.
The cavalry troops of the Yarkand Khanate evacuated Turpan in the dark, but were disturbed by two thousand Ming cavalry, and ran too fast, which made the troops very tired after dawn and had to stop and rest.
When it was dawn, Wang Guoxiong ordered a pursuit.
The main force of the Ming army's cavalry was energetic at this time and was reluctant to leave. In the afternoon, he caught several cavalrymen from the Yarkand Khanate.
The enemy troops who were caught up did not run away when they met the Ming army, but rushed up to deal with the Ming army, obviously covering the retreat of the main force.
In the end, these outnumbered Yerkand Khanate cavalry were naturally cleaned up like Ming cavalry cutting melons and vegetables, but they also successfully covered the retreat of the main force.
Abdula cut off his arm to this decision, allowing him to successfully retreat to the Shache area, which is far enough from Turpan.
The result of Abdula's escape in a panic was the loss of the Turpan Basin, and the Turpan Basin in Shannan was easily captured by the Ming army.
There are also many agriculture in Turpan, which are actually products of the Han people. However, in the Western Regions, there were no Han people left behind. After the collapse of the Tang Dynasty, the Han people here were either killed or assimilated by foreign races.
The Ming army infantry took only half a month to arrive in the Turpan area and implemented strict military control over the Turpan area.
If these alien races are willing to accept education and live a peaceful life, the Ming Dynasty is willing to accept them, but those extreme religious forces must resolutely disintegrate and implement Chinese policies such as language.
For those foreigners who are uneasy and want to resist, they will naturally be killed directly if they catch them.
The next management of the Western Regions was actually relatively simple. Send more production corpses and immigrate a large number of Han people to come. These alien races could not cause any storm. After all, this was not later generations. There were developed communication and transportation methods, and those riots were not so easy to organize and promote. After several generations, these alien races were basically assimilated.
The Ming army that conquered the Turpan Basin soon began to pursue the victory.
