Yang Fan came to the platform on the right side of the bridge, held the bulwark in his hands, and looked toward Hebei. As the searchlight swept around, a large camp appeared there.
Countless cavalrymen ran around in panic, trying to avoid the searchlight beams. In their cognition, they cannot understand how something can be so bright at night.
The horses were startled. Gray Lulu chirped and ran around. The knight whipped him hard to no avail. Some people even stood up and knocked the knight off his horse.
But there is fire in the darkness. And make a loud noise. As the searchlight swept, it finally focused there.
Under the strong light beam, Yang Fan clearly saw a large number of camels. These camels had small cannon and heavy arquebuses mounted on their carriages.
The sound he heard was the weapons firing at the ship. However, because of night flights in war zones, there are light control regulations.
Apart from the searchlight, it was difficult to see the outline of the ship in the distance. Their weapons don't have far enough range. The camel cannon is only about three hundred meters long.
The maximum shooting range of the matchlock gun also has this distance, but the bullet drifts to nowhere. The effective range of the heavy matchlock gun will not exceed 150 meters.
The muskets equipped by the Central Asian camel cavalry are somewhat similar to the Japanese big guns. Those are those magically modified large-caliber matchlock guns.
The caliber of these guns is mostly in the range of thirty to forty millimeters. It can fire both solid bullets and shotgun shells.
It does have a great advantage against ordinary infantry and cavalry. Even if the performance is not as good as Yang Fan's smoothbore gun, the huge number makes up for the lack of performance.
"These are Junggar people. I didn't expect so many people to come." A voice sounded from behind. Yang Fan looked back and saw that it was Zhang Wudian, Huo Shi, and Zhang Fengyi who also heard the gunfire and came over.
"Mr. Zhang, it's very dangerous here. You'd better go back to the cabin first. I'll tell you the situation after everything is done."
"Hmph, I am also an old soldier and have been fighting for half my life. This point battle is nothing." Zhang Wudian looked into the distance with contempt and said disapprovingly.
Huo and Zhang Fengyi looked a little out of place with bows and arrows on their backs. No sailor can shoot an arrow.
They usually neither equip nor train this. Cold weapons have basically been completely eliminated except for bayonets.
In Yang Fan's system, the navy is obviously more completely weaponized than the army. Yang Fan said: "Fortunately, I came out to take a look, otherwise I would have thought that only the Heshuo Special Forces had arrived. The Junggar people are indeed the old base of Oara, and they look very strong."
"Yes, the direct inheritance of the Cholos family. The centipede insect is dead but not stiff. Although it has been suppressed by the Heshuote people in recent years, it is still very powerful."
"With this strength, I think the Heshuote people will soon be unable to suppress them." Moxi Mongolia is also called Wala, Oirat, and Erut.
There are four major tribes. The leader of the alliance is the Heshuote tribe, the Junggar tribe, the Turgut tribe, and the Durbot tribe.
After Ye Xian's death, the Walas declined and were forced to move westward to northern Central Asia and southern Central Siberia. When Asa, the fourth descendant of Yexian, came to the throne, the Choros family finally split.
Keshe's younger brother Aligudo led one of his own, which was the Dulbert tribe, while Asha led the Junggar tribe.
Therefore, Dulbert and Junggar have the same origin. Durbot was in the far west, avoiding the attacks of Khalkha and Turmut.
Coupled with the continuous emergence of British masters, especially the wise leadership of Dalai Tush, Durbor was already very powerful at this time.
The Junggar tribe also had strong troops and horses under the leadership of the father and son Hala Hula and Batur Hutaiji, which gradually shook the original balance of Oirat.
Under this situation, under the pressure of Yexian's direct descendants, Durbot and the Junggar people, Turgut's survival gradually became difficult.
The Junggar tribe also had strong troops and horses under the leadership of the father and son Hala Hula and Batur Hutaiji, which gradually shook the original balance of Oirat.
In 1628, the Torgut tribe, led by He Orlek, moved westward to the Volga River. The Kalmyk Khanate was established on the Volga River and the Urals and downstream, and the Crimean Khanate in eastern Ukraine became the last Mongol Khanate in Europe.
In the original history, the re-emergence of Ye Xian's descendants profoundly changed the composition of the Mongolian territory in Central Asia in later generations.
1637 was a special year. This year, the Heshuote people were forced into Qinghai and then controlled the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Gushi Khan established the Snow Kingdom Dynasty. In the same year, the coexistence of the four tribes in the Tianshan grassland collapsed, and the Junggar family became the dominant one, making great strides towards the establishment of a khanate.
At this time, the leader of the Dulbert tribe, Dalai Taishi, was already old. Facing the aggressive Junggar, he has become increasingly powerless.
In the last years of the Dalai Lama, in order to get rid of the threat of Junggar, he once led his troops to march north, hoping to find new nomadic lands like Turgut.
Unfortunately, several efforts were foiled by Russian attacks. In 1637, Dalai Lama died of illness in worry.
After his death, Durbor fell into a war among his rivals for territory and completely declined. In the end, the Heshuote tribe in Qinghai and the Junggar people in Xinjiang became strong opponents of the Qing Dynasty.
The person Nian Gengyao beat, such as Norbu Zang Tenzin, was the national monarch established by the Heshuote people in Qinghai and Tibet.
The Junggar people became a big trouble for Kangxi. At one time, it unified eastern Central Asia, the entire Xinjiang, southern Central Siberia, and even most of Outer Mongolia and Monan Mongolia.
At that time, the territory of the Junggar people had exceeded that of the Qing Dynasty, and their military power was tyrannical. The battlefield of the Battle of Ulan Butong was two hundred miles north of Chengde Summer Resort.
At that time, if Galdan could not be defeated, not only Mongolia would not be protected, but Manchuria might also be lost. If Galdan unified the north of the Great Wall, the Qing Dynasty would once again be in the same situation as the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Fan looked at the camel cannons that kept firing and calculated in his mind. After a while, he could see that there were at least two thousand camel cannons and heavy matchlock guns.
Yang Fan was silent in his heart, Central Asia was the place of the Four Wars, and it was also the central area of the Eurasian continent. All kinds of advanced weapons and technologies would be integrated here.
He also didn't expect that there were so many firearms in Mongolia in the desert. But that's okay, because they're inland.
Without heavy artillery, otherwise the situation in the Beijing camp would be even more difficult. This is the current situation. With the Mongolians in the desert having a numerical advantage and having such a large number of firearms, the Jingying camp, which mainly uses cold weapons, is looking for death.
It seems that persistence is the way to go. By the way, it is a good idea to constantly use gunboats to harass them so that they have to defend everywhere and disperse their forces.
The coat is a half-moon-shaped grassland, where the crescent moon is the Yellow River. Yang Fan can land at any point using a steamboat.
As long as they keep the built city of Jiuyuan City and constantly harass them with steamships, forcing them to divide their forces for defense, the pressure on Jiuyuan City can be greatly reduced.
It seems that if we want to defeat Mongolia, the Beijing camp is not enough. Unless the cavalry army that is ready to attack the Great Lakes Plain of Khalkha is used.
Otherwise, the Beijing camp and group training will have no advantage in firearms, and they will be tortured to death in a confrontation. Watching the trumpet shells flying continuously.
Yang Fan said to Huang Hao: "Don't pay attention to them, move forward at full speed, we will go directly to Linhe City and set fire to it."
