I

Another son of Babai Khan, named Abdullah Shit, was also in the Turon army at this time.

His father is a coward, his brother is a fool, and he himself is a clever little kid.

This guy was commanding the Turpan cavalry. Seeing the number and equipment of the Datong cavalry, he felt that he probably couldn't defeat them. Therefore, when the cavalry was fighting, his private soldiers did not enter the battle at all, and only allowed the fanatic cavalry and the noble cavalry to charge and kill.

Seeing that hundreds of the fanatic cavalry had been killed by muskets even though they had not made any achievements, Abdullah Shit had the idea of ​​defecting.

Each Turrontai began to blow their bugles to urge them, and he had no choice but to lead his private cavalry and rush out. However, this guy didn't care about the flank battlefield at all, but always stared at the front battlefield.

He soon discovered that his brother's artillery had been scrapped, and the front army was bombarded by Chinese artillery and its formation was chaotic.

Abdullah Shit immediately shouted: "Go around the flank of the enemy cavalry!"

This guy seemed to be leading his private troops around, but he was actually staying away from the battlefield. As long as the situation is not good, you can quickly escape back to Turpan, or you can go back and stab your brother in the back.

Of course, if the Chinese army declines, he will immediately rush to the Datong Army.

Anyway, just one sentence: Whoever wins will help whom, as long as he keeps his own private soldiers.

Historically, this guy persisted until the end and actually became the King of Yarkand. It's a pity that he is not even the last king. Just like the emperor of the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he can only entertain himself in the corner.

However, the Datong cavalry did not allow him to stay in a swing position. Qin Liangyu's grandson Ma Wannian led a division of cavalry to follow.

Thirty-five hundred brave cavalry rushed out first, intending to disrupt the battlefield and create a wall-type charge opportunity for the Yi cavalry who were already in formation.

Abdullah Shit's personal cavalry only consisted of three to four hundred men, all of whom were wearing iron armor. In addition, he was accompanied by two thousand Turpan noble cavalry. Seeing Datong's heroic cavalry charging towards them, this guy was unwilling to engage in battle at all. He actually turned around and ran away with his private soldiers. He only had eyes for his own private soldiers.

You can lose this battle, but your private soldiers must not suffer any losses.

Abdullah Shit was the commander of the cavalry. If he suddenly led his troops to flee, it would definitely have bad consequences.

At first, the nobles thought he was flying a kite. After all, it was extremely normal for the cavalry to cruise back and forth. But gradually he realized that something was wrong. Abdullah Shit retreated further and further, exposing all the remaining friendly cavalry flanks to the front of the Datong Cavalry.

Upon seeing this, Ma Wannian immediately ordered: "Blow the trumpet quickly. Stop pursuing the cavalry. Turn on the spot and cut off the remaining enemy cavalry!"

"Woooooo~~~~"

The horn whimpered, and the chasing cavalry received orders to slow down. After almost decelerating, they collectively drew a graceful arc and turned towards the remaining enemy cavalry to block and kill.

Ma Wannian shouted again: "The remaining heroic cavalry, charge from the left. Yi cavalry, charge frontally! Dragoon cavalry, withdraw from the battlefield, and together with the Qinghai cavalry, go around to block the enemy's retreat!"

All the Datong cavalry were in motion, and the enemy cavalry was panicked by charging from the waist. Another group of valiant cavalry was dispatched to intercept and reduce the range of enemy cavalry's activities.

Three thousand Yi cavalry formed a wall and rushed over overwhelmingly.

Even the remaining fanatical believer cavalry were frightened when they saw this formation, and subconsciously dodged to the side and ran away.

The enemy cavalry troops were completely dispersed.

The two groups of cavalry accelerated instantly and took the opportunity to kill the enemy who had lost their organization. The enemy cavalry was completely cut off. It seemed that the number was only slightly inferior, but it was surrounded in local battlefields. One noble cavalry often had to deal with ten Datong cavalry.

The dragoons and Qinghai cavalry, completely ignoring the battlefield, went around the rear of the enemy infantry formation from the outside.

Abdullah Shit felt that he was defeated and wanted to go back and stab his brother in the back. But he found that the dragoons and Qinghai cavalry were "chasing" him, which made him sweat profusely. He didn't even have a chance to defect before the battle.

It is not easy to rebel on the battlefield. One is communication issues and the other is trust issues.

If Abdullah Shit does not run away directly, but chooses to backstab the entire team. It's possible that before he could attack his brother, he was killed by the Chinese cavalry who were chasing him.

In desperation, Abdullah Shit could only continue to escape.

As he ran away, he became further and further away from the battlefield, with a total of more than 800 private soldiers and noble cavalry around him. These guys simply stopped fighting and fled directly to Turpan, first releasing their father Babai Khan who was under house arrest. It was up to Babai Khan to decide whether to surrender or flee to Aksu.

Touluntai was completely panicked, and the battlefield situation changed too quickly.

The younger brother fled, the cavalry collapsed, and his own retreat was cut off. Several units of the former army were bombarded by 100 artillery pieces, and their formations were in disarray. He could only bite the bullet and lead the entire army to charge.

You must charge, you cannot retreat, and you cannot stand still, otherwise the army may collapse directly.

In fact there were already deserters.

Some soldiers could not withstand the pressure of artillery and were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. They were killed a lot by Toulantai's law enforcement team.

The soldiers of Turpan and Hami, under the threat of Touluntai, reluctantly rushed towards the Datong army.

"Tiger Crouching Cannon comes forward!"

More than two hundred tiger cannons were carried by soldiers to the rear of the vehicle formation.

The enemy troops rushed halfway and were bombarded by a hundred artillery pieces. Soldiers kept running away in fear. After gradually approaching, more than two hundred tiger squatting cannons were divided into two groups and fired shotguns in turn. Several enemy troops collapsed on the spot.

"Bang bang bang!"

Then there was another volley of muskets, and before the thick smoke dissipated, the enemy troops at the front had all collapsed.

Even if they can continue to charge, they will still face the obstruction of the vehicle formation, and behind the vehicle formation there will be grenadiers.

The heroic cavalry and Yi cavalry did not attack the enemy infantry, mainly because they were afraid of being accidentally injured by their own firepower. They focused on chasing down the enemy cavalry that had dispersed. The enemy infantry was dealt with by dragoons and Qinghai cavalry.

"Dong dong dong dong!"

The war drums of Jiang Liang's central army suddenly sounded.

Then there was another burst of bugles, and the Datong infantry charged collectively with bayonets in hand, chasing down the scattered enemy troops and scattering those enemy troops that had not completely collapsed.

The dragoons and Qinghai cavalry that circled to the rear also headed towards Touluntai's Chinese army.

"Run away!"

Touluntai, who was frightened by more than two hundred tiger cannons, finally came to his senses and fled with dozens of mounted guards.

As soon as the commander fled, the Chinese army was immediately in chaos.

The dragoons rushed up first and fired their guns. They no longer loaded their bullets, but pulled out their swords one after another and led the Qinghai cavalry to kill them at close range.

The Qinghai Cavalry is a temporarily formed miscellaneous force, with soldiers from dozens of tribes in Qinghai, including Tibetans, Hui, Tu, Salar, Mongolians... there are more than twenty ethnic minorities.

It will definitely not work to let them fight a tough battle, they must want to preserve their strength.

But fighting with the wind is very useful. When they charge, they perform more bravely than the dragoons. The chaotic Touluntai Chinese Army collapsed after being charged by the Qinghai Cavalry, and then faced a variety of ethnic minority weapons.

The dragoons were too lazy to take care of the defeated troops, leaving it to the Qinghai cavalry to handle, and then turned to pursue Touluntai who fled to the Gobi.

The dragoons only wore light armor and were extremely fast. They chased him for several miles and finally caught up with Touluntai.

This person is not only reckless, but also fearless of death. Seeing that he could not escape, he actually reined in his horse and, with dozens of guard cavalry, countercharged towards more than a thousand dragoons.

"Yarkang warriors must die on the battlefield!"

Touluntai raised his spear and shouted, and dozens of cavalry guards also roared, but no one ran away.

The dragoons also stopped and sat on their horses to reload their ammunition.

When Touluntai led his guards to approach, hundreds of horsemen who had loaded their ammunition started shooting at the dozens of enemies.

"I don't accept it!"

Touluntai was not shot, but his horse was shot.

He fell so hard that he actually stood up again very quickly. He wanted to fight a bloody battle before he died, but the dragoons did not give him a chance. They had to use muskets to fight dozens of more than a thousand.

The cavalry guards fell off their horses one after another, and there were actually a few of them, both men and horses miraculously still alive. They were baptized by the hail of bullets and no longer had the courage to charge. They pulled the reins and continued to turn around and escape.

More dragoons filled their ammunition and fired at the survivors, killing all without leaving a trace.

"Captured."

Dragoons rode up to surround him.

Touluntai and another guard were standing back to back.

He glanced at the Datong Dragoons, suddenly pulled out his machete, and wiped it on his own neck. Before he died, he left his last words: "Yerqiang's last warrior finally died in the hands of cunning enemies."

Although this man is a bit crazy, compared with other nobles in Yarkant, he still deserves a little respect.

On the frontal battlefield, the disintegrated noble cavalry was chased down by the Datong cavalry.

The Qinghai cavalry is chasing the scattered infantry. As long as they are still running away, they will kill them with a knife if they catch up. Sometimes those who had surrendered were killed casually. Even if the ones killed were serf soldiers, Jiang Liang did not stop it - after all, if more people were not killed on the battlefield, how could there be enough land for Han immigrants?

Ebedulla from Hami had two arrows stuck on his back, which were left by the knights.

This guy already regretted it. He should have listened to his father and surrendered to the Datong Army in Hami. I was so obsessed that I went to Turpan and followed Turun Tai to fight.

What a fart!

Whoosh!

Another arrow came, and Ebeidula subconsciously leaned down, but he didn't expect that the arrow was hit by the horse under his crotch.

The horse accelerated in pain, stepped on the Gobi stones with its front hooves, and fell forward together with the horse and man.

The future King of Hami had his left leg pressed down by a war horse. He shouted in fear that he wanted to surrender, but he saw several knights chasing him, all drawing their bows and arrows. They only drew the bows half full before releasing arrows, shooting at him from a distance of two or three meters.

The military order states that no nobles should be left behind. The armor on Ebedulla's body clearly shows that he is a high noble.

All the fanatical believer cavalry were already dead. They rushed too far forward, and those people were the first to be surrounded and killed.

The battlefield was littered with corpses, stretching for miles. More than 30,000 people were killed by the formation, and the knives of the Qinghai cavalry were blunted.

The enemy's defeated troops had no way to escape because the Datong Army had too many cavalry. At the end of the escape, they could no longer run away. Thousands of them knelt down and begged for mercy. Those who were singled out and wearing armor were immediately executed.

The serf soldiers who could not be punished still had hope of survival.
