I am Emperor Wanli

Chapter 718 How is this possible!
Niu Bingzhong was the main general and Zhou Guotai was the deputy general. They led the three Solon Sushen assault infantry regiments, divided into two parts and ambushed here, waiting for the Torghut tribe.

Ambushing in the mountains and forests, aiming their guns at the Torghut cavalry, were the Solon Assault Infantry Regiment, led by Zhou Guotai and E Husheng.

E Husheng stood at the front holding a musket, less than thirty meters away from the Torghut tribe outside the forest, with the muzzle of the gun aimed at a man who looked like a leader.

The copper whistle sounded, and E Husheng pulled the trigger without hesitation. Fire flashed, gunshots roared, and thousands of smoothbore muskets fired in an instant. The Torghut cavalry outside the forest fell off their horses one after another.

E Husheng skillfully loaded the ammunition, held the gun in his right hand, put his left hand in his mouth, and blew a long whistle. He immediately received a response. Whistles rang out everywhere in the mountains and forests, followed by the sound of footsteps.

The Torghut cavalry outside the forest were knocked dizzy by the sudden gunfire, and the wounded who fell to the ground let out heart-wrenching screams.

The companion beside him pulled the reins, trying his best to calm the mount which was frightened and running around and kicking.

“Woohoo!”

Wild shouts came from the forest, and then many people came out, covered with leaves and weeds, and some of them had grass leaves hanging on their helmets.

They rushed forward, raised their muskets, aimed at the Torghut cavalry who were only a dozen meters away, pulled the trigger, and with a bang, the Torghut cavalry fell to the ground.

E Husheng shot and killed a Torghut cavalryman with one shot, and shouted loudly, commanding his Solon assault infantry.

There were two rows of men standing in front, holding muskets with bayonets fixed, ready for battle.

A dozen assault infantrymen at the back were divided into groups of two. One held a lit tinderbox, while the other took a grenade from his ammunition bag, unscrewed the cover at the end of the wooden handle, hooked out the fuse, and lit it with his companion's tinderbox. Then he stretched out his long arm and threw it towards the place where the Torghut cavalry was concentrated.

With a loud bang, grenade shrapnel flew everywhere, killing and injuring several people, and scaring the surrounding mounts and cavalry out of their wits.

The Sauron infantry in the first two rows fired with muskets at a distance and fought with bayonets at close range.

The grenadiers behind them kept throwing grenades into the distance. They carried their ammunition bags diagonally on their shoulders, with a grenade inserted in a bag and the exposed wooden handle tied with a rope.
An infantryman with an ammunition bag containing fifteen grenades and a companion with the same ammunition bag could throw out thirty grenades.

They were organized into platoons and, under the command of the platoon leader, maintained battle formation and moved continuously on the battlefield.

Four or five sergeants were holding rifles, ready to take action at any time. When they saw the leader or archer of the Torghut tribe, they would raise their guns and shoot them.

The Torghut cavalry also tried their best to fight back. They charged forward on horseback with sabers and spears in hand, but they were quickly hit by the ubiquitous muskets or rifled guns.

Or draw the bow and arrow from a distance, and shoot an arrow.

The archery skills of the Torghut cavalry were very accurate, and they could always hit someone as long as they drew their bows. However, the Torghut archers were the focus of the Solon assault infantry, and they would often shoot only two or three arrows before several muskets were pointed at them, knocking them off their horses with a bang.

The battlefield was in great chaos, with horses galloping, people running, horses neighing, people shouting, gunshots and explosions, turning the quiet Buyantu River upside down.

In the chaos, someone targeted E Husheng who was shouting orders.

This man was a famous warrior of the Torghut tribe. He rode his horse straight at E Husheng, swinging his spear towards him. Behind him were two followers, waving their sabers.

E Husheng had an extremely sharp intuition and immediately sensed the danger. He glanced over and saw the Turgut warriors rushing towards him.

There were still 20 to 30 meters to go, so he was not in a hurry. He shouted to a platoon not far away: "Mad, take turns to cover and charge to the northeast. You are the Solon people, the Ming assault infantry, what are you doing standing there!
Waiting for someone to feed you shit! Go forward! Quick! "

When he finished shouting and turned around, the Torghut warrior rushed up to him, with the sharp tip of his spear pointed at his back, less than two meters away.

E Husheng took a step forward, just in time to get out of the way of the Turgut warrior with his horse. He pulled out the bayonet with his left hand and stabbed it hard into the horse's butt.

The horse kicked and jumped in pain, as if its anus had been brutally raped. The Torghut warrior grabbed the reins and was in a panic.

E Husheng stood still, watching the two followers of the warrior galloping towards him from the left and right. He shook his head, gripped the barrel of the musket with both hands, and held the Longqing Type 2 cavalry version of the musket upside down.

He judged the speed of the two people on his left and right in his mind, slid to the left, swung the musket in his hand high, and chopped at the follower on the left like a long-handled axe.

The heavy and wide butt of the gun first broke the attendant's right hand, and then hit him hard on the chest. Seeing a dent in his chest, the man flipped backwards and fell off his horse.

E Husheng threw away his musket, stretched out his left hand, grabbed the follower's mount, ran a few steps, leaped forward, soared into the sky like a big bird, flew onto the saddle, grabbed the reins with both hands, and in a few breaths he forcibly controlled the mount.

The Torghut warrior was still battling with his mount, which was going crazy with pain. He looked up inadvertently and suddenly saw the guy who had stabbed his horse's butt rushing towards him on horseback.

Damn, I’m going to fight you!

The warrior raised his spear and swung it at E Husheng.

E Husheng also raised his gun.

The short gun used by officers fired a shot with a bang.

A blood hole appeared between the warrior's eyebrows. His eyes were wide open and he stared at E Husheng with his eyes wide open, silently accusing him.

You old man, you have no moral principles!
"Damn, you three are acting in a martial manner when you fight me alone!" E Husheng put his pistol back into the holster, caught the long spear of the Turgut warrior, turned around and swung it.

The follower on the right was catching up from behind, preparing to attack E Husheng from both sides with his master, but he ran into a ruthless man who had no moral principles. His master died in the first encounter, and the follower was shocked and turned his horse around to leave first.

Suddenly, I felt a chill in my heart. I looked down and found that a spear had pierced his body. Blood was dripping from the tip of the spear, drop by drop, onto the ground.

I hate people who play with guns the most!

E Husheng rode his horse forward and pulled the spear out of his follower's body.

This gun is really handy. With its weight and thickness, it can be used for stabbing, picking, and swinging as a club.

E Husheng brandished a long spear and rode his horse towards the Torghut cavalry. He stabbed them in the heart with a left stab, then swung with the right to break their necks, and with a right thrust he pierced their throats, and then swept them off their horses.

In just a few breaths, four Torghut cavalrymen were either killed or injured. Before the others could react, E Husheng rushed into another group of Torghut cavalrymen, stabbing left and right, stabbing in front and sweeping behind. His horse was as fast as a dragon and his man was as fast as a tiger, and he knocked down five or six more people with a bang.

Four Torghut cavalrymen were howling in anger, and surrounded them, three in front and one behind. The three in the front were especially aggressive, brandishing swords and guns.

E Husheng swung his spear, and the spear body was like a long whip, swinging left and right. With two snapping sounds, the two people in front were whipped so hard that their faces were covered with bruises and they fell off their horses.

The third man took advantage of E Husheng's inattention and stabbed him fiercely with a spear. E Husheng was very skilled and brave. He leaned his body to the side and stabbed at his left side with the spear. E Husheng clamped the spear tightly with his left armpit and swung the spear with his right hand. It was like a long-handled sledgehammer hitting the third man on the top of his head. His brains splattered and he fell off his horse with a scream.

E Hu suddenly sensed the danger, and with a whoosh, an arrow flew past his nose. He glanced and saw the fourth man shooting an arrow less than ten meters away.

Turning his horse, E Husheng rushed towards the fourth man. The man also calmed down and shot three arrows at E Husheng's face.

E Husheng swung his spear left and right, sweeping away the first and second arrows, but the third arrow went straight for his throat. E Husheng had no time to dodge, and his body fell backwards, and the arrow flew past his face.

Now it was the archer's turn to panic.

Is this guy still a human being?

But what he didn't know was that he was facing the most brave and warlike man among the Saurons.

Every Sauron grew up in an extremely dangerous environment. They had to fight wild wolves, tigers, and vicious bears throughout their lives. They also had to fight for life and death with other vicious and cunning Saurons and Jurchens for food and furs.

The Saurons who survived to adulthood were all born warriors, and E Husheng was the best among them. The panicked archer turned his horse around and tried to leave, but E Husheng caught up with him and stabbed him to death. He snatched his bow and quiver, hung his spear on the saddle, controlled the horse with his feet, and galloped on his horse. Those who were far away shot their bows left and right, and the bowstrings sounded and the people fell down; those who were close raised their spears and swung their swords, stabbing and slashing with their spears and swords.

They ran back and forth, with no enemy in front of them. The surrounding Torghut cavalry were so frightened that they all ran away, as if they had encountered a tiger.

Bagel Erleke in the distance was stunned!
I originally thought that I was invincible, but I didn’t expect that there was someone more courageous than me!
Whose general is this?

Somehow, E Husheng turned his head subconsciously, and through the hundreds and thousands of people, he met Beigu Erlek's gaze, and also saw the ox-tail banner behind him!

E Husheng shouted loudly and rode his horse towards this side.

When the guards saw the tiger running towards them, they were so scared that they immediately hugged Bagel Erlek and ran away!

My great Taiji, we don’t know whether you can defeat us or not, but we really can’t.

When Beiguerlek's ox-tail banner moved, the panicked Torghut cavalry around him became even more panicked and fled to the north together.

They had just run less than three miles when an army rushed out from the east. There were as many as five or six thousand people. They were the two Sushen assault infantry regiments led by Li Dayong and Zhang Erhe.

They fired fiercely at the Torghut tribe across the Buyantu River with smoothbore muskets and type 60 short-barreled cannons. The gunfire and cannon fire were as dense as a rainstorm. The Torghut cavalry, who were caught off guard, fell off their horses one after another, and the narrow Buyantu River was dyed red with blood.

Then thousands of black grenades were thrown over from the other side of the river and landed among the Torghut cavalry. There were explosions everywhere, which blew away the last bit of courage in the Torghut people's hearts.

Beiguo Erlek fled northward along the Buyantu River with 20,000 Torghut cavalry, while Niu Bingzhong and Zhou Guotai pursued them with three assault infantry regiments.

Before the 10,000 Durbet cavalry crossed the Kobdo River, they heard extremely fierce gunfire in the distance and, like the Torghut people, they immediately realized that something was wrong.

There is fraud in it!

The leader immediately sent spies to investigate. More than two hours later, the spies brought news that the main frontal attack force composed of the Khoshut, Dzungar and Huite tribes had been completely defeated, and Haninoyan Honggor and Halahula were missing.

The Torghut tribe was also defeated and it was said that they surrendered to the Ming army on the way.

The Durbert cavalry immediately turned around and ran back to Tangluling in one breath, nervously waiting for the next development of the situation.

It was already the third day after we cleaned up the battlefield, counted the casualties on both sides and submitted the report to the commander Qi Jiguang.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen were running around like a hornet's nest had exploded. The Ming cavalry also had to chase them and count the casualties, which really took some time.

"Sixteen thousand of the Oirat coalition forces were killed, including seven thousand from the Dzungars, six thousand from the Khoshuts, two thousand from the Huite, and one thousand from the Torghuts.

There are more than 5,000 injured.”

This is the consequence of the popularization of firearms.

When hit by lead bullets, only some of them survive and become injured, while the rest of the injured often become dead after suffering for a period of time.

The staff officer continued to report.

"We captured 48,000 people, 15,000 of whom were from the Torghut tribe who surrendered to our army. The rest of the Durbet tribe fled back to the pastures in the Tangluling area, and General Li Chengliang led two cavalry divisions to pursue them.

The remaining 5,000 people fled everywhere, and General Niu Bingzhong and General Ma Gui were leading three assault infantry regiments and two cavalry regiments to clear them out.

The leader of the Junggar tribe, Halahula, was killed in the battle while fleeing in Luorichuan. The leader of the Torghut tribe, Beiguo Erleke, saw that the situation was hopeless and led his troops to surrender.

The leader of the Durbet tribe, Yanistaishi, led his people back to the Tangluling Pasture.

The leader of the Huite tribe, Ikmin Andash, was captured."

Xiao Wenkui asked, "Where is Haninoyan Honggor, the leader of the Khoshut tribe and the leader of the Oirat coalition?"

"Reporting to the deputy envoy, Haninoyan Hongguoer fled to the northwest with a thousand people."

Fu Yingjia asked, "Is anyone chasing us?"

"Colonel Xiao Ruxun led a cavalry regiment in pursuit."

Everyone laughed and looked at Xiao Wenkui.

"Marquis Ganquan, congratulations, your tiger is about to make a new contribution!"

"I have to say that Colonel Xiao has a keen nose. He could smell the scent of a big fish right away."

Xiao Wenkui laughed dryly twice, feeling a little dissatisfied.

You are so good at chasing, you must be the reincarnation of Roaring Sky Dog! Alas, why did I give birth to a son like you!
It's too risky. I have to chase you for thousands of miles, isolated and helpless, with danger everywhere. What if I die? How can I explain to the old lady and your mother?
"Report!" An officer outside reported.

"Come in!"

"Reporting to General Qi, we encountered a caravan coming from Yilibali, and two of them revealed their identities. They are officers sent by our Southern Army to contact us."

"Has your identity been confirmed?"

"In reply to General Qi, it has been confirmed. The two men were carrying the secret code of the Southern Army, and their classmates at the Xishan Military Academy identified them in person."

"Call him in. I want to ask about the battle situation of the southern army."

The two were brought in, wearing the clothes and hats of the Yilibali people. They greeted each other first and introduced themselves.

They were staff officers of the Intelligence Section of the General Staff Office of the Southern Tianshan Route. Following two local people from Yarkand, they joined a caravan from Yilibali and trekked for more than a month before arriving at the area east of Jinshan, hoping to get in touch with the main force of the northern route.

Upon learning that a large army was gathering near Kobdo, he ran over and waited until the war was over before coming out to introduce himself.

Qi Jiguang stroked his beard and said, "We have just annihilated the main forces of the Oirat tribes. Wait a few days, and we will go south to join you and destroy the Yarkand Khanate together."

"In reply to General Qi, our southern army has already destroyed the Yarkand Khanate."

"What! Destroyed the Yarkand Khanate?"

Qi Jiguang, Xiao Wenkui and others stood up in disbelief.

"When did this happen?"

"Our General Huo sent us out after he wiped out the main force of the Yarkand Khanate and killed its Great Khan, Harin Khan. The date was one month and twenty days ago."

Qi Jiguang, Xiao Wenkui and other generals looked at each other in bewilderment.

how can that be!

The Yarkand Khanate was a great power in the Western Regions after all. You can destroy it just like that!
