General Yu…”
"exist…"
"Assemble the remaining troops and come with me to meet the Qing army coming from Shaanxi!" Ma Yinglong stood up from his seat as he spoke, looking very proud.
"Yes, Hai Lifan, I will obey your orders." Yu Yan also replied loudly.
"Two generals, this battle must be won but not defeated. If we win, the Manchus will not be able to fight us again in the short term. If we lose... no, we cannot be defeated. With the blessing of Allah, we We will definitely defeat those pagans and establish God's empire on earth." Ma Yinglong said with confidence, which made Bai Yanhu and others excited.
"With God's blessing... we will be able to drive out all the infidels and establish a country belonging to the *** here."
…
"Master Imam, I will trouble you about the matters in the city." Ma Yinglong turned around and asked Ma Hua'an beside him.
"Hai Lifan, don't worry and go fight against the Qing army! I will take care of everything at home for you." Ma Hua'an nodded in response.
"Thank you, Mr. Imam. This time we are united and we will definitely defeat Qing Gou." At this moment, Ma Yinglong said to encourage morale.
"yes…"
…
In the middle of July, the twenty-second year of Qianlong's reign.
The Qing army in the northwest, which had originally conquered Junggar and was preparing to return to the DPRK, was once again ordered by Qianlong to turn around and quell the unrest in the Western Regions.
Among them, Dingbian General Gunzabu and Dingbian Left Deputy General Chebudenzabu led troops from Manchuria, Mongolia, Chahar and other places, and divided their troops into two groups to pacify Xiaohezhuo in the Tianshan Mountains.
Wuya Zhaohui, the right deputy general of Dingbian, led troops from Suolun, Jilin and other places to quell the unrest in Gansu.
It was early August in the twenty-second year of Qianlong's reign.
Dingbian's right deputy general Wu Ya Zhaohui's 3,000 cavalry, 6,000 cloth armor and 10,000 green battalions met outside Dingxi City with 60,000 soldiers and horses led by the returning general Bai Yanhu.
This was the first time that the Hui army faced such a huge Qing army. Bai Yanhu was naturally nervous, especially since Ma Yinglong had told him that he should be cautious when facing the Manchu Qing's northwest army.
However, since the number of returning troops led by Bai Yanhu was three times that of the Qing army, and these returning troops had received little resistance in the previous massacres of the Han people, even when they later captured the city, those smaller numbers were The Qing army was no match for them either.
Therefore, they became full of self-confidence, thinking that they were invincible in the world.
It was precisely because of this that when Bai Yanhu was still hesitating whether to go to war with Wuya Zhaohui, all his generals asked for a fight.
Seeing that the morale of his own army was so strong, Bai Yanhu no longer hesitated and started a battle with Wuya Zhaohui more than ten miles outside Dingxi City.
On the battlefield, Wu Ya Zhaohui was sitting in the middle of the army, and his three thousand cavalry were facing off against the nearly eight thousand cavalry of the returning army.
"General, there are so many rebel cavalry, should we avoid their edge?" At this moment, the cavalry commander Borzik Gedo asked Wuya Zhaohui.
"Gedo, why are you becoming more and more timid? They are just a group of herdsmen who have just learned to ride horses. What about cavalry? Are you still afraid of them?" Wuya Zhaohui said with a hint of reproach.
"Yes, I realize my mistake. As long as the general gives the order, I will definitely send these rebels to meet their God." Borzik Godo immediately apologized.
"Yes, that's right. In case of war, those who dare to fight without avoiding the battle are what our Qing soldiers should be like." Wu Ya Zhaohui showed a happy smile at this moment.
"Kill..."
At this time, the returning army was mobilizing their cavalry and preparing to kill them.
"Flag officer, send the order, beat the war drums, and let the troops charge forward." Wuya Zhaohui, who was sitting on the horse and looking at the military ahead, said casually, as if he didn't care about the troops returning ahead at all.
"Hey..." The flag officer behind Wu Ya Zhaohui responded, then picked up two flags and kept waving the flag of the Qing army.
"Ge Duo, let the cavalry attack. Teach the herdsmen who have just learned how to ride horses that you can call the cavalry while sitting on the horse." Wuya Zhaohui continued to order.
"Yes, my subordinates take orders." After Bolzik Gedo clasped his fists at Wuya Zhaohui, he also rode to the cavalry for pre-war mobilization.
…
"Kill..."
On the battlefield, the cavalry charged first.
"咻咻咻..."
As the distance between the two sides approached, three thousand Qing cavalry took the lead in ejecting the returning troops.
Those knights who only held machetes in their hands could only wave their machetes in front of them. Whether they could defend themselves or not depended on whether Allah had called them up.
It has to be said that the cavalry and shooting skills of the Qing cavalry who participated in the northwest war all year round are indeed very good. After the first wave of arrows, the returning cavalry who rushed in front were shot off their horses.
At this time, they were still facing each other. The two sides had not yet made contact, and the returning army had already lost hundreds of cavalry.
The time for cavalry hedging is very short, but for the Qing cavalry who are accustomed to mounted shooting all year round. Even such a short period of time was enough for them to shoot three arrows in a row.
After three waves of arrows from the Qing cavalry, the mighty returning cavalry suffered nearly two thousand casualties at once, which shocked the mighty returning cavalry. But charging on the battlefield, how can we think too much about it?
When the two sides were about to come into contact, the Qing cavalry immediately dropped the bow and arrow after shooting three arrows in a row, pulled out the saber hanging on the horse, and held it in front of him as usual.
"Kill..."
"Pfft..."
"Ding dong... pong... pong..."
On the intertwined battlefield, various voices came out.
Cavalrymen on both sides continued to fall, but compared to the returning cavalry, the number of Qing soldiers who fell was very small. Almost all the cavalrymen who fell on the ground were returning cavalry.
Soon, the Qing cavalry defeated the returning cavalry.
As soon as the two sides met, the returning cavalry lost half of its strength. Many of the returning riders were so frightened that they did not dare to look back and fled the battlefield directly on horseback.
"Come back, come back to me...Cowards, warriors of Allah will never flee the battlefield. Those of you who run away will definitely be punished by Allah." Looking at the fleeing cavalry, the returning cavalry general shouted loudly.
Perhaps the general's shouting had an effect. Some of the returning cavalry who had originally fled the battlefield turned around and turned around.
This time the military general saw this and shouted with satisfaction to the cavalry who turned back: "Allah's warriors will be blessed by Allah. Even if you die, you will die for jihad, and you will definitely get a chance to go to heaven." For the sake of Allah, listen to my command, turn your horse back, and fight to the death with the infidels in front of you."
"Kill..."
The two sides turned their horses around again and started hedging again.
