Chapter 541 Bloody Battle in Moxi ([-])
"Kazakh cavalry, attack!"

A Kazakh cavalry general held a straight sword and led the Kazakh cavalry to attack the camel city defense line of Moxi Weilat again!

Tens of thousands of Kazakh cavalry trotted first, then gradually accelerated, and began to charge in a decisive battle against the guns, bows and arrows of the Jungar soldiers.Some of these cavalrymen were armed with muskets, some with bows and arrows, and fought back at the Geer soldiers on horseback before close combat.

This is the third wave of offensive launched by the Kazakh cavalry.In the previous two waves of offensive, the Kazakh cavalry lost more than 2000 horses, but they still failed to break through the Tuocheng defense line—they were forced back by Zhungeer soldiers hiding behind the Tuocheng defense line.

However, the Zhungeer side also paid a relatively heavy price, and there have been many gaps in the camel city's defense line.Camels are just flesh and blood, and some camels have been smashed into sieves by muskets and artillery, and they are howling.Even the Zhungeer soldiers lost more troops under the two charges of the Kazakh cavalry.On the one hand, it is because some youths in the Zhungeer tribe who have not participated in the war are all recruited to fight to the death. On the other hand, Kazakhs and Tsarist Russia also used some methods to drive the horses, cattle and sheep captured from the Zhungeer tribe. Zhungeer's camel city defense line forced the camel city out of the gap.

On the two wings of the battlefield, the Cossack cavalry and the Tsarist Russian cavalry were wandering, constantly attacking the Heshuot cavalry who were in charge of defending the two wings, and locked the [-] Heshuot cavalry firmly. The opportunity to break through the two wings was found by the Cossack cavalry and the Tsarist Russian cavalry.

"Steady the morale of the army, we can be on par with them, and even have a chance to fight back." Batur looked nervously at the chaotic battlefield.Although he said not to be nervous, in fact his palms and backs were already covered with sweat.

Because the two Moxi tribes of Zhungeer and Heshuote were on the defensive, most of the soldiers dismounted and fought on foot to provide muskets and bows with stronger power and accuracy.Outside, more than 2 Tsarist Russian, Cossack, and Kazakh cavalry came and went like the wind. When there was a gap in the defense line of the Moxi Allied Forces, they waited for the opportunity to swarm up.The precarious appearance of the defense line exacerbated the worries of Batur and Gushi Khan.

"We each have an elite cavalry guard of 2000 people on hand. Even if the opponent breaks through the defense line, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory." Gushi Khan said.

"These two new forces cannot be used casually. This is our last card to turn the tables, unless it is absolutely necessary." Batur was still staring at the battlefield.

"We can only choose to trust our soldiers. The longer they last, the more tired the enemy will be. Then it's time for us to fight back." Gushi Khan agreed.

The fierce battle lasted for several hours, [-] cavalry, at least [-] directly participated in the battle, blood stained the Gobi.Especially after winter, the original yellow and white Gobi is decorated with bright red blood, which looks a little scary.

At noon, the Tsarist-Cossack coalition began to launch an offensive, which continued until the sun was setting.After the two sides exhausted the ammunition brought to the battlefield, they began to fight hand to hand again, fighting to the death on the Camel City defense line!The scene became more and more out of control, and the organized temptation and charge gradually turned into hand-to-hand combat!The camels, which were regarded as human shields, were at the front, and almost all of them were beheaded in the chaos, which intensified the terrifying atmosphere on the Great Gobi.

"Retreat." Yakovlev saw that it was getting late, and it was darker than ever in winter, so he gave the order to withdraw the troops.

Hearing Yakovlev's order, Yang Jierhan shouted in disbelief, "Yakovlev, are you crazy? You see, our soldiers are fighting with them now, and we are about to break through their barriers completely. The line of defense is over. We retreat at this time, we have fought so hard for so long and sacrificed thousands of brave and skilled fighters, what is it for?!"

"It's getting dark, and our soldiers are exhausted physically and mentally. If we continue to fight, even if we break through their defense line, the sky will be completely dark when the time comes, and we will not distinguish between enemy and friend, and will only create opportunities for the enemy." Yakovlev said.

"What you said makes sense, but it's too reconciled... Hey, let's just break through their defense line tomorrow. I don't believe they can pull out another [-] camels to form a defense line to stop our soldiers. "Yang Jier Khan hesitated again and again, but chose to believe in Yakovlev.

"Tomorrow? If we are lucky enough, maybe we can resolve the battle today." Yakovlev shook his pocket watch to Yangier Khan.

The bloody Zhungeer soldiers were surprised to find that the Kazakh cavalry gradually left the battlefield and retreated to their camp.Not only the Kazakh cavalry, but the Cossack and Tsarist Russian cavalry who attacked the two wings and the Shuote army also began to retreat.They stood there puzzled, looking at the hurriedly retreating enemy.

"Victory, we have defeated the enemy!" A Zhungeer general in armor raised his blood-stained saber high and roared majesticly.

"Victory!" The Zhungeer soldiers and Heshuote soldiers on the battlefield also shouted!They all regard the retreat of the Kazakh and Tsarist Russian cavalry as a great victory for them to protect their own tribe!
The heroic and passionate voice echoed on the vast Gobi, and even the retreating Tsarist Russians and Kazakhs couldn't help being moved.

"Batur, the crisis on the first day has passed, and the battle in the next few days may be even more tragic. We must be prepared." Gushi Khan said to Batur with a satisfied smile.

"Our Oirats are a large alliance of several 10 people, and we are descendants of the most heroic and combative Golden Family. How can we be wiped out in one day's battle? If we want to defeat our Oirat Alliance, there is no..." Batu Before Er could finish speaking, his face suddenly turned pale, his eyes protruded and his lips were slightly parted, as if he had seen something terrifying.

"What's the matter?" Gush Khan was facing the direction of the Tsarist Russian and Kazakh coalition forces, and because Batur was talking to Gush Khan, he was looking at the back of Gush Khan—that is, the Moxi coalition forces the rear.

Gushi Khan turned his head, and his color changed in an instant.I saw that in the rear of the Moxi coalition army, a cavalry unit appeared on the horizon at some point, and more and more cavalry emerged from the end of the horizon!This cavalry unit is flying the flag of the Yarkant Khanate in the southern part of the Western Regions.

At the forefront of this cavalry unit are several generals of the Yarkand Khanate, as well as Dorgon who disappeared in the Tsarist-Russian coalition forces.

"Finally caught up." Dorgon pulled out the saber from his waist and raised it high.
