Chapter 529 Zhungeer and Tsarist Russia
In the desolate Northwest Gobi, a 2000-man cavalry unit marched mightily along the Irtysh River. They carried muskets on their backs, sabers around their waists, and blood dripping on the gravel.

"Stepping through Tara, Qiumen, these Maozi and Cossacks frequently invade our sacred land, we must drive them out of our territory!" A bearded General Zhungeer galloped his horse and brandished a sharp saber.

Just now at the Yamesh Salt Lake, another group of Tsarist Russian soldiers and Cossack cavalry broke into the territory of the Jungar tribe to mine the salt lake without authorization, and were slaughtered by the enraged Jungar cavalry.More than that, this bad-tempered General Zhungeer planned to go up the Irtysh River along the Irtysh River, flatly pushing Tara and Qiumen, two fortresses established by Tsarist Russia in the upper reaches, which seriously threatened the Zhungeer tribe.

The cavalry moved at such a fast speed that they felt as if they had entered the land of no one in this familiar place.

In the Tara Fortress, there are hundreds of Cossack cavalry, Tsarist Russian farmers and nearby tribes that belonged to Tsarist Russia.When they saw the angry Zhungeer cavalry approaching the city, they all fell into panic.

"The barbaric Mongolian cavalry is coming!" The Tsarist Russian peasants who were outside the Tara fortress and had no time to escape into the fortress panicked and ran for their lives to the gate of the Tara fortress.

"Close... close the door!" The Cossack general above the Tara fortress hurriedly ordered.

Below, a dozen or so crowded Cossack soldiers pushed the heavy wooden door in unison.There was a creaking sound, and the heavy wooden door was gradually pushed, and finally closed together with a bang.This sound made the Tsarist Russian peasants who were still outside the fort completely desperate, and their retreat was completely blocked!
"Put down the stone!" The Cossack generals in the Tara fortress were still not at ease, and ordered people to reinforce the city gate.

With the lowering of the stone strips, the Tara Fortress was finally safe. Even if the Zhungeer cavalry outside had muskets, they came on light horses, and it would be useless to use the heavy city gate without bringing artillery.

"Run to both sides of the fortress. If God blesses you, you still have a chance to survive!" The Cossack general stood on the top of the wall, shouting, and gestured with both hands for them not to stay in front of the sealed city gate and wait for death.

"Damn it, if you abandon your own people, you will go to hell!" The Tsarist Russian peasants outside the fortress cursed, but they also knew that they could not stay here and wait to die. They might save their lives by escaping around the Tara Fortress.

"Kill!" The rushing Zhungeer cavalry found that Tara Fortress had been closed urgently, so they had to vent their anger on the Tsarist Russian peasants outside the fortress.

On flat terrain, the two-legged Tsarist Russian peasants were unable to fight against the Jungar cavalry, and fell one by one under the sharp butcher knives.Outside the Tara Fortress, it has become a hunting ground for the Zhungeer cavalry.

"You sacrificed yourself to protect the safety of Fort Tara, and God will let you go to heaven." The Cossack general looked at the massacre below, and could only make the sign of the cross on his chest and pray for them.

There were only about 20 Tsarist Russian peasants left alone outside the fortress, and they were flattened by a wave of Zhungeer cavalry. Two thousand Zhungeer cavalry regrouped and confronted Tala Fort.

General Zhungeer pointed to the strong Tara Fort with his whip, and said to the cavalry behind him: "When the old Khan was alive, foreigners from the West built castles here. I have suggested more than once that their fortresses should be destroyed before they are built. Now it seems that my judgment at that time was extremely correct, and this place has become our confidant. They used strong fortresses to advance step by step, oppressing our living space. If this continues, it will not take 100 years, no, 50 years later we will We are forced to fight with them!"

"But general, we didn't bring artillery, how can we deal with capturing such a towering fortress?" A small leader who looked like a centurion came out and asked.

"We will let them go today, but we will destroy everything they have outside the fortress! All the tribes in this area that belonged to Tsarist Russia will either follow us south or suffer genocide!" General Zhungeer sternly said .

In this area, as long as they don't meet the main force of a few big forces, their 2000 cavalry can cross the Gobi!

Under the anger of their generals, the Zhungeer cavalry began to sweep the tribes near the Tara Fortress and scuttled the wooden boats outside the Tara Fortress on the Irtysh River.

When the Zhungeer cavalry swept the Tara Fort area on a large scale, in the direction of Tyumen Fort established by Tsarist Russia in the west, a mighty cavalry unit was rapidly approaching Tara Fort.This cavalry unit flies various banners, but it has a large number of cavalry, with more than [-] cavalry.

The leader was a cavalry general in Tsarist Russian military uniform, and beside him were Cossack cavalry generals, Kazakh cavalry generals, and a general with a bearskin around his waist.

"Yakovlev, are you sure you can destroy the evil Jungar tribe this time? They have been encroaching on the territory of our Kazakh Khan, and we have been overwhelmed." Kazakh cavalry wearing noble armor The general asked the Russian general.

"Honorable Yang Jier Khan, the evil Zhungeer tribe is our common enemy, and they have occupied the salt lake we want, causing us to be very troubled." The Tsarist Russian general said.

Judging from his words, this Kazakh cavalry general is the Great Khan of the Kazakh Khan who has been at war with the Jungar tribe all year round.

"I hope your judgment is right. This time, we will be able to completely wipe out this evil tribe." Kazakh Khan seemed to be thinking about something, but his tone was full of dissatisfaction with the Zhungeer tribe.

"Junger stood in front of our Cossack cavalry and killed many of our Cossack cavalry. The Tsar was furious and planned to get rid of this serious problem first. I was dispatched to Siberia this time just to be in Yakov Under the leadership of General Lev, we will completely eradicate Jungar together with you." The Cossack general next to him said.

"The Zhungeer tribe, like our Kazakh tribe, is a descendant of the Golden Family. Their cavalry is not easy to mess with. You have to be careful not to ruin the big thing." Kazakh Khan said.

"A descendant of the golden family? Haha, Yang Jierhan, what kind of lineup do you think we have here? I am a Tsarist Russian general who has fought against powerful countries on the European battlefield many times. You are a descendant of the golden family, the Cossack general. My father, Yermak, once led hundreds of people to capture the capital of the Siberian Khanate, and this one, a descendant of the Jurchens who once traversed the eastern grasslands—General Dorgon.” Tsarist Russian general Yakovlev pointed Pointing to the general with the bear skin wrapped around his waist, he said.
