The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 702: Battle of Tongbo
On the canopy.

Inside the tent with the curtains open, three generals were discussing something while looking at the sand table in the middle.

"The total military strength we have now is about 60,000 men."

Standing in the center, the general with a hooked nose and narrow eyes, always wearing armor, pointed at the two formations on the sand table and said in a deep voice:
"And the two armies of the Qing Dynasty also had 60,000 men, and they seemed to be evenly matched."

"However, we have to guard against the Kazakhs in the west and the Russian Empire in the north, so we can only mobilize about 30,000 cavalry."

"We are at an absolute disadvantage in a single direction and cannot deal with two Qing armies at the same time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man standing on his right, wearing white elk leather armor, a yellow-brimmed wide hat, and thick eyebrows and big eyes, couldn't help but speak:

"Brother, just tell me what your plan is!"

Standing on the general's left, the elderly man in a mink coat and a green printed long gown, with rosary beads in his hands, had a twinkling look in his eyes and asked doubtfully:
"Are you trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west?"

The general nodded and said to the elder:

"I plan to divide these available cavalry into two groups, led by my uncle and Morgan Daiqing respectively."

The general looked at the young man on his right and said with a smile:

"Mergen Daiqing, you will first lead more than 10,000 cavalrymen to maneuver along Turpan and make a feint attack in the direction of the Qing army's western route, creating a strategic situation in which the main force of our army will attack Barkol and Qinghai, and attract the main force of the Qing army to gather in this direction."

"Then..."

The general drew an arc on the sand table.

"You make a big detour to the north, join up with your uncle's main force in the north, and wipe out the Qing army's northern army in one fell swoop, and annex Kobdo and Uriankhai!"

The young man looked at the sand table and nodded.

The elderly also smiled.

The general looked at the sand table and smiled:
"In this battle, I want to let the Qing emperor know who is the master of Qinghai."

……

[On the fourth day of the first lunar month in the ninth year of Yongzheng's reign (1731), Xiao Tsering Dundub led cavalrymen to harass Barkol, and sent troops to Gaskou, the throat linking the Western Regions and Qinghai.]

[Yue Zhongqi followed the Yongzheng Emperor's request to "be steadfast and stick to the basics" and ordered the Western Route Army to hold their ground in various places and not to engage in battle.]

[But the news that the Junggar troops appeared in Gaskou made Yongzheng panic. He was worried that the Junggar troops would enter Qinghai.]

[So, he urgently recruited 7,000 green flag soldiers in Ganzhou, Liangzhou, and Xining, and sent 10,000 Mongolian cavalry from Qinghai and 5,000 Mongolian cavalry from Khorchin and other tribes to jointly assist in the defense of Qinghai.]

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che was amused by Yongzheng.

"He is desperately trying to send reinforcements to the west army, fearing that there won't be enough people in the trap."

"How can you fight a war like this?"

"Isn't this just a way for people to play around?"

Wei Zifu was puzzled:
"But Yongzheng's worries are not without reason. It may be a feint attack, but it may become a real attack."

Liu Che leaned on the couch and smiled at Wei Zifu.

Wei Zifu felt a little embarrassed by the laughter and complained shyly:
"His Majesty!"

Liu Che looked at Wei Zifu who was looking down shyly, took her hand, and said to Xiao Liu Ju beside him:

"What do you think we should do?"

Wei Zifu's shyness faded away, and was replaced by a hint of worry.

"Your Majesty, my son is still young."

Liu Che shook her hand and told her not to worry.

Xiao Liu tilted his head and thought for a while, then said in a childish voice:

"Maybe we can just stay the same in the face of change, wait until we have enough food and troops, and then push forward."

Liu Che was delighted and said to Wei Zifu:

"This kid is a waste of money."

Wei Zifu curled the corners of her mouth and smiled perfunctorily.

Liu Che looked at little Liu Ju and asked again:
"Then think about it, if your cousin encounters this situation, what would he do?"

When Xiao Liu heard the word "cousin", his eyes lit up, then he frowned and thought about it seriously.

Wei Zifu couldn't help but look at her son, and Liu Che also looked expectant.

But Xiao Liu really couldn't imagine how Huo Qubing would fight if he were still alive.

"My son doesn't know."

Wei Zifu was a little disappointed, but it was okay. After all, being able to keep the troops in place was also considered a skill in fighting.

Liu Che was not disappointed at all. He thought that if he knew it, he knew it, and if he didn't know it, he didn't know it.

"Zixu! Tell me what you would do!"

When Xiao Liu turned around, he saw Huo Qubing standing outside the door.

"cousin!"

Huo Qubing, who was waiting inside or outside at the signal of Liu Che, finally stepped into the hall.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness."

Liu Che smiled and waved.

"Stop that and come sit down."

Huo Qubing bowed and sat down with his back straight.

Liu Che patted his shoulder and said with a smile:
"Tell your cousin how you would fight this battle if it were you."

Huo Qubing had already thought of countermeasures both internally and externally.

To be honest, this is just a question asked by Your Majesty, and it is also to enlighten my cousin.

Otherwise, if someone asked him, he would punch him.

Why do you still need to ask when the situation is so obvious?

"If we think that we will increase our troops wherever the enemy attacks, we will not be able to counter the strategic mobility of their cavalry, and will only waste our national strength in vain."

"There is only one way to deal with this situation, and that is to counter maneuver with maneuver."

Huo Qubing smiled and glanced at the sky, then said confidently:
"If you dare to harass Qinghai, I will attack your heartland!"

"Give me eight thousand good soldiers, and two horses for each soldier."

"I can send him back to where he came from!"

Liu Che looked at the extremely confident Huo Qubing and laughed loudly.

"Juer, did you see that?"

"Learn more from your cousin!"

"Hahahahaha!"

……

At that time, Yue Zhongqi requested: "Personally lead 10,000 elite troops to attack Urumqi, give each soldier two horses and two months' rations, and follow with 7,000 infantry and army soldiers. Take advantage of the opportunity to attack by surprise."

【However, due to the failure of Kuoshetu, Emperor Yongzheng no longer trusted Yue Zhongqi's command ability. 】

[He rejected Yue Zhongqi's request and said in his reply with a hint of sarcasm: "Since we have already made the plan of building a city and conducting guerrilla warfare, why bother to rush for a small profit in the short term?"]

[“Let’s put aside the idea of ​​attacking the nest directly for now, and focus on the strategy of winning with no compromise.”]

……

Cao Wei.

Cao Cao stroked his beard, shook his head and laughed:
"The emperor who had never been on the battlefield was teaching the general who had been rolling among the dead for many years how to fight."

"On the battlefield, in a dynamic game, how can there be a strategy that is sure to win?"

"Why does this Yongzheng... smell like Chongzhen?"

Cao Pi stood respectfully with his hands clasped, and said softly:

"Father, as your son sees it."

"Although Yongzheng was quite suspicious, he was able to train under Kangxi's nose for many years, which was definitely not comparable to Chongzhen."

Cao Cao just said it casually, and then changed the subject:
"What do you think of the secret memorial system? Can it be used?"

Cao Pi got a headache when he heard this.

Ever since Kangxi's secret memorial system came into being, this old man has been thinking about it every day.

The problem is, it doesn’t work.

“Available, but not right now.”

"Let's not talk about the rest. The Prime Minister has been sidelined. Will the Three Dukes be deposed or enthroned?"

"If the Three Dukes are abolished, will the Nine Ministers be replaced?"

"If the three dukes and nine ministers are directly changed to three provinces and six ministries, then the imperial examination will be inevitable."

"The aristocratic families plus the imperial examination..."

The unspoken meaning of Cao Pi's words was evident in his words.

Add these two together, and even a dog would be appointed as the chief secretary.

……

[On the second day of March, Yue Zhongqi reported again: According to the confession of the captured Junggar soldiers, the more than 10,000 troops of Xiao Tsering Dunduobu were just a feint attack force. The main force of the Junggar army was in the hands of Da Tsering Dunduobu, with a total of 15,000 people. The target was probably the northern army that was building a city in Kobdo.]

[He suggested: If the enemy attacks the northern army, the western army should move north to cut off their retreat.]

[If the enemy attacks the Western Route Army, the Western Route Army will hold Barkol and wait for the arrival of the new army in Gansu, and then attack from both inside and outside.]

Emperor Yongzheng did not believe it and replied: "Although the Dzungars claim to invade the north, I suspect they are scheming and still want to invade the west. We must not take it lightly. The troops in the west are sufficient to resist. Even if the enemy comes in full force, we must not immediately mobilize the troops in the north."]

[On April 23, Yue Zhongqi reported for the third time that he had learned for sure that Galdan Tsereng had dispatched 30,000 troops, led by Da Ce and Xiao Ce, to secretly sneak into the Altai Mountains.]

【Yongzheng simply didn’t bother to reply.】

……

Ming Dynasty - Wuzong Period
"I figured it out."

Zhu Houzhao ate the grapes, spit out the seeds and said:

"This Yongzheng wanted to do everything himself and have everything under control."

"In my opinion, he can't avoid being severely beaten."

"Really...it would be great if this Yue guy was my subject."

Zhu Houcong, who was standing by, flipped through the yellow land book in his hand and couldn't help but say:
"Brother, can't you promote some ordinary generals?"

Zhu Houzhao said lazily:

"That requires fighting, otherwise how can we get promoted? The martial arts exam is almost ruined by those bastards."

Zhu Houcong pursed his lips and said softly:
"I do have an idea."

Zhu Houzhao glanced at him and said calmly:
"Let's talk and listen."

Zhu Houcong looked at Zhu Houzhao, who was slumped in a chair and eating grapes, and said seriously:

"My brother, with the order of the Grand General, has summoned the army to a grand competition."

"Issue another decree to promote the generals who participated in the competition."

Zhu Houzhao paused and looked at Zhu Houcong.

"I was right to ask you to come here."

"That's right, since those people don't follow the moral code of the martial arts, then I won't follow the moral code of the martial arts either!"

Zhu Houcong hurriedly said:
"But they can't get high positions suddenly. If they do, I'm afraid they won't be able to suppress their greed."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand indifferently.

"That's easy. I just happened to have him in my hands, so I'll show him some mercy..."

Having said this, he suddenly looked at Zhu Houcong.

"Do you think we should promote the secret memorial?"

The corner of Zhu Houcong's mouth twitched.

He had some idea of ​​how unreliable his royal brother was.

Euphemistically:
"It can be used as a means of improvement so that they can study seriously."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it. That's right, you have to eat one bite at a time.

"Let's first establish the military competition."

……

[On the third day of June, Yue Zhongqi reported for the fourth time: There were less than 2,000 Junggar troops in the direction of the Western Route Army. The Da Ce and Xiao Ce armies had already joined forces and had set out on the first day of May with an army of 30,000. They planned to take the Ulan Gum route, encircle and annihilate the Northern Route Army that was building a city in Kobdo, and then invade Khalkha.]

[Emperor Yongzheng still didn't believe it and replied: "This is just bluffing. If we invade the northern route before the snow falls in July, won't they consider returning home?"]

[Because the area north of the Tianshan Mountains snows in the eighth lunar month, after the snow falls, large-scale cavalry units will not be able to continue to maneuver because they cannot get enough fodder.]

【Based on this, Emperor Yongzheng believed that it was impossible for the enemy to launch an expedition under such circumstances. 】

[Then, while Yongzheng was arguing with Yue Zhongqi, the Northern Army had already started fighting with the main force of the Quasi-Army.]

……

On the canopy.

The picture breaks through the thick clouds and reveals a jewel-like lake reflecting the sparkling water.

To the west from the lake, there are two green mountains standing opposite each other.

One south and one north.

Cross the mountain forest road and arrive at Beishan.

Under the Qing Dragon Flag.

The general rode his horse and looked toward the mountains and valleys, and asked to his left and right:
"Did Ding Shou send a signal?"

A cavalryman beside him shook his head and said:

"not yet."

The general said nothing.

A moment later, the flag bearer in front sent a flag signal.

The general breathed a sigh of relief.

A pinch on the horse's belly.

"Send the order, enter the mountain."

……

[On the sixth day of May, Fuerdan led 31,000 troops from the northern route (supplemented by 6,000 troops from the northeast) to arrive in Kobdo and began to build the city.]

[During this period, the Qing army captured a Dzungar prisoner.]

[According to this person’s confession, Da Ce and Xiao Ce were leading an army of 30,000 people to Kobdo. Their front team consisted of only a thousand people, driving more than 20,000 horses and camels ahead. They have now reached Bokto Ridge.]

[The captive confessed two pieces of information. The first was that the main force of the quasi-military forces was heading towards Kobdo, which was consistent with the intelligence provided by Yue Zhongqi.]

【Therefore, Fuldan believes that the second piece of information, that is, "the front team of more than a thousand people drove 20,000 camels and horses to Bokto Ridge", is also correct.】

[So, Fuerdan decided to lead an army of 10,000 to Bokto Ridge to rob the horses and camels first.]

……

Datang.

Li Shimin sighed:
"Galdan Tsering is truly extraordinary."

Li Chengqian said in disbelief:

"Is all this also part of the other party's calculations?"

Li Shimin said calmly:

"If the other party is not greedy, this strategy will be useless."

But what general doesn't want to achieve great things?

I can only say that this move is indeed a brilliant one.

If you come here, you will fall into the trap.

If you don't come, I'll just go with the flow.

Come or not, I win.

……

[Bokto Ridge is part of the Altai Mountains. It is a rugged mountain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.]

[Ferdan's vanguard commander Ding Shou, the assistant minister Yongguo, and the deputy governor Jueluo Hailan all tried to dissuade him, saying that the captives' words should not be trusted, but Ferdan refused to listen.]

[On the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, Fuldan led his army to set out. Along the way, they encountered small groups of quasi-soldiers driving herds of livestock. The Qing army captured many captives, as if the captives' words had been confirmed.]

[But Furdan is not a mediocre person. He did not rush forward just because of a small victory. ]

[On the contrary, he felt that something was not right, and the battle seemed to be going too smoothly.]

【So, on June 17, Fuerdan divided the army into three parts, with Counselor Su Tu and Deputy Governor Dai Hao leading the vanguard of 3,000 people. 】

[Ding Shou led a squadron of 1,500 men to follow up, and he personally led a rear squad of 5,000 men to close the battle.]

[In this way, if the front team is ambushed, the middle and rear teams can wait and act.]

[On June 18, the front team entered the mountain and found a small group of quasi-military troops. They attacked them and chopped off 400 heads.]

[When the squadron heard that the team ahead of them had made money, they also became anxious and followed them into the mountains.]

[On June 19, when Fuldan's rear team saw that the first two teams were fine, they followed suit.]

【This is where the problem comes in. 】

……

On the canopy.

Outside the North Mountain.

The sound of the huqie echoed far away in the valley.

Flags made of felt are scattered all over the mountains and plains.

The generals' troops surrounded the valley from all directions.

And in the valley, the Qing Dynasty dragon flag was fluttering in the wind.

……

[On June 20, when the Qing army was marching in the forests of Bokto Ridge, the Junggar ambush troops suddenly appeared.]

[Faced with the crisis, Furdan did not panic. He first ordered the entire army to camp and defend against the Quasi-army attack.]

[Afterwards, he ordered Deputy Governors Taldai and Malqi to lead an army of 2,000 people to attack Xishan Mountain and seize the commanding heights as a support for the entire army. However, due to the steep terrain of the mountain, the Qing army failed to conquer it.]

[On June 21, Fuldan led his entire army to attack Beishan.]

[There is a lake next to Beishan, named "Watōbo", so this battle was later called the "Battle of Watōbo"]

……

Qing Dynasty, Kangxi Period
When Kangxi saw the scene of being surrounded by the Junggar troops, he had only one thought in his mind.

The Eight Banners are finished.

"...Old Four..."

Kangxi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Does he blame the fourth brother?
It’s strange, and not strange.

The blame lies in his carelessness in employing troops, not in the fact that... Yue Zhongqi is Han Chinese.

Han people and Han army.

Suppression is the right thing to do.

"The balancing technique has been used."

Suppression is necessary, but it takes time!

The time is wrong and the position is wrong.

How can it be accomplished?!
……

[After climbing the mountain, Fuerdan ordered Ding Shou, Su Tu, Jueluo Hailan, Chang Lu and other generals to lead the army to guard the eastern ridge. ]

[Generals such as Taldai and Malqi led their troops to guard the western ridge and protect the two wings of the Qing army. ]

[Furdan personally led the main force of the Qing army to form a formation in the center, confronting the Dzungar army, with the Khalkha Mongolian army in the rear]

[On June 22, the Junggar Army continued to attack the two wings of the Qing Army, and the troops on the east and west ridges were surrounded.]

[Under such circumstances, Furdan ordered the entire army to break out. ]

[At this time, the two wings of the Qing army were under the greatest pressure. Ding Shou and his men fought desperately, but they were outnumbered. Ding Shou drew his sword and killed himself, dying in battle.]

[Deputy Governor Ximi Lai had already broken through the siege, but when he saw Ding Shou and others trapped in the siege, he personally led the Sauron soldiers to turn back and provide assistance.]

[Unexpectedly, the Sauron soldiers were unable to fight against the wind. Seeing the overwhelming force of the Quasi-army, the entire army was defeated. Deputy Governor Xi Mi Lai failed to rescue Ding Shou and committed suicide. ]

[On the same day, Deputy Governor Chang Lu was also killed in battle, and Counselor Su Tu and Deputy Governor Maer Qi committed suicide due to exhaustion.]

[Under the desperate resistance of the Qing army on both wings, the main force of Fuerdan's headquarters successfully broke through and arrived in the north of Hetongbo. ]

[At this time, there were still more than 6,000 Qing troops left. Fuldan believed that the Junggar troops would not pursue them, so he ordered the entire army to camp near Hetongbo for rest.]

……

Qing Dynasty and Qianlong period
Qianlong watched the Battle of Hetongpo and sighed helplessly.

There weren't many Eight Banners descendants who could fight.

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the Democratic Progressive Party was suppressed by the Green Camp, but there was still a balance.

His father was good when he first came up.

Balance Heisei Green Camp is the only dominant one...

"If it weren't for me, the Qing Dynasty would have been destroyed."

Qianlong snorted softly.

His father is capable of everything except an inexplicable naivety.

Which emperor would be willing to argue with a prisoner?
Thinking of that crappy book, Qianlong's head started to hurt again.

"I have to make the other emperors laugh to death..."

……

[On June 23, thousands of quasi-military vanguards rushed out of the valley and attacked Furdan's camp.]

[The Mongolian troops in the Qing army were immediately defeated, leaving only 4,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners of the capital to form a battle array to meet the enemy, killing more than 500 Junggar troops.]

[On June 24, the main force of the Junggar army rushed out of the valley and swarmed in. Fuldan had no choice but to organize the Qing army to break out again.]

[He ordered 4,000 Qing troops to form a square formation, and Deputy Governor Cheng Bao commanded the right wing army.]

【Counselor Marsa commanded the left wing army, and he, the deputy commander, General Zhenwu Basai, and Minister of War Chabina were in the middle.】

[Deputy Governor-General Taldai, Shulenge, and Vanguard Commander Dafu were the rear guards, fighting and retreating.]

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di looked at the sky with a serious expression.

Even if there were only 4,000 Eight Banners soldiers, they could form a battle formation relying on the camp, and the same number of quasi-troops would not be able to gain much advantage.

"The Eight Banners soldiers... no wonder they were able to defeat the Ming Dynasty soldiers."

The true character of an army can only be revealed when it is in desperate situations.

Putting aside the differences in status, Zhu Di recognized for the first time the combat effectiveness and will of this army.

"pity……"

But Fuldan still didn't realize that there were three factors that were extremely unfavorable to the Qing army at this time.

First, the collapse of other troops will cause panic among the people.

Secondly, they were in a hurry to go out to fight, so they could not carry much food with them, and even if they formed a battle formation, they would not be able to hold out for long.

The last and most important factor.

Zhu Di looked at the endless army and said softly:
"In such a disadvantageous situation, they were still able to form a battle array according to military orders, which shows the high quality of the soldiers."

"But the quasi-military forces are more than a few thousand people."

……

[But after all, this is 4,000 people against 30,000 people.]

[On that day, the Minister Yongguo, the Counselor Jueluo Hailan, the Deputy Governor Dai Hao and others all committed suicide after being exhausted.]

[On June 27, Duke Dafoe, the vanguard commander who served as the rear guard of the entire army, was killed in battle.]

[On June 28, the deputy commander of the Northern Army, Basai, lost contact with the main force in the melee and died in battle.]

[Basai is the grandson of Prince Zheng Jierhalang, a founding hero of the Qing Dynasty, and a member of the imperial clan. He wears a "yellow belt" around his waist, which symbolizes his imperial clan status.]

[After he was killed, the Junggar cavalry used his yellow belt as a flag and shouted everywhere: "I killed your clan members!"]

[When the Minister of War, Chabina, saw Basai's yellow belt, he was filled with grief and indignation, and shouted: "How can I, at my age, face the jailer again!" After saying this, he rushed into the enemy's camp alone and was stabbed to death by random gunfire.]

[During this period, Counselor Marsa and Deputy Governor Shulenge also died in battle. ]

[On the first day of July, Fuerdan led the remaining 2,000 soldiers back to Kobdo City.]

[Among the generals who returned to the camp, only Deputy Governor Delu, Chengbao, and Taldai were included.]

[Except for the deputy governor of Guihua City, Gunbu, who surrendered, all other officers above the rank of deputy governor died on the battlefield.]

[In this battle, more than 8,000 Qing soldiers were killed or captured. After the battle, the Junggar army entered Kobdo, and more than 10,000 local Mongols surrendered to the Junggar.]

【Kangxi's efforts over twenty years in this business were all in vain.】

……

Ming Dynasty, Jingtai Period
Zhu Qiyu looked at the high-ranking Qing officials who were going to their deaths and thought of the man who had turned to ashes.

"This battle is comparable to the Battle of Tumubao."

The only difference is that Yongzheng did not lead the army in person.

Otherwise, it depends on his temperament and operating methods.

It is definitely a perfect reproduction of the Battle of Tumu.

"It's a pity."
