However, at this time, the method of killing chickens to scare monkeys and killing those who retreat is no longer enough. Now that the morale of the army is shattered, the only way to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers in his hands is to take the lead in the charge.
The sudden rain of arrows blinded everyone, and many soldiers who had been standing near the city gate died tragically unprepared. This caused a big gap in the defense line that was almost unsustainable.
But fortunately, Wen Zhengde, the leader of the garrison in "Bianyi City", led his own guards to block the gap in time and successfully boosted morale.
However, the situation on both sides below the city has been very dangerous. Generally speaking, the garrison in Bianyi City is still at a disadvantage.
The commander of the Mongolian grassland army, "Hu Kemaao", took the lead in attacking the defense line made of his own flesh and blood by the soldiers stationed in the city.
"Attack!" The Mongolian steppe light cavalry that rushed up like crazy wolves, under the command of Hu Kemaao, also spread out to both sides like blooming flowers at this moment.
Countless black shadows continued to charge with strong impact.
"Kill me!" Hu Kemaao shouted, and the sword in his hand turned into blades of light. He was originally a powerful warrior in the grassland, and he was best at fighting on the battlefield. Soon, three more soldiers fell to the ground.
The sound of roaring war horses and the roaring sound completely covered the battlefield. Countless prairie light cavalry continued to pour in, waving cold light shining swords in their hands.
The heads of countless soldiers flew into the air mixed with blood.
The soldiers who guarded the defense line with their flesh and blood were trampled to pieces by nearly half a ton of high-speed war horses in panic.
"Shield strikers advance!"
"Pikemen thrust out!"
"Suppress the archers behind!"
Wen Zhengde, "General Mingwei of the Third Grade" who had already gone to the front line in person, looked at his subordinates who were in a mess on the mountainside, his face was frighteningly pale, but he had no choice but to continue to issue orders to change the status quo.
The Mongolian steppe cavalry is known as the strongest army in the world, with the sharpest claws, and the cavalry led by Hu Kemaao is considered the most elite force in the entire Mongolian Empire.
He saw that the defensive line he had just established was completely on the verge of collapse under the impact of these terrible cavalry.
But all his hard work failed to produce any effect.
In comparison, although the equipment of the garrison in Bianyi City was not bad, their morale and killing experience were all at the level of a third-rate army.
Wen Zhengde closed his eyes in pain, and the ten fingers he clenched turned blue from too much force.
He saw that the elite infantry guards that he was most proud of in the past were now the targets of massacre by the enemy cavalry's flashing sabers.
Those faces that are as hesitant as doomsday are written with despair!
Scattered attacks and panicked resistance!
These infantrymen looked like a herd of fat elk surrounded by hunters in the fall.
Hu Kema proudly took advantage of the gap between slashing and looked at the situation around him.
The attack by his cavalry troops was as expected!
On the right side of the defense line of the "Bianyi City" garrison, a large hole was torn open with a sharp sword.
Now we are no longer just fighting near the city gate, we are just a little short of conquering Bianyi City.
"Charge forward with force! Pierce the enemy!" Hu Kemaao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, but he did not really relax.
Hu Kema proudly took the lead and chopped open an enemy with a hesitant face, and struggled to drive the thick war horse under his crotch.
With a violent roar, he rammed head-on from outside the enemy's army without any scruples.
"Hiss!" Several infantrymen who were unable to dodge were knocked out by the war horses under Hu Kema's proud crotch, knocking their companions in front to the ground! "
"Glory belongs to the Mongol Empire!"
Seeing how brave their general was, all the prairie light cavalry shouted and advanced, driving their horses and forcibly plowing a bloody passage through the infantry regiment.
The armor of the war horses kept making the tinkling sound of raindrops in the frequent collisions.
The garrison soldiers guarding the walls of "Bianyi City" killed more than 10,000 people. Of course, the Mongolian steppe cavalry also suffered heavy losses. More than 8,000 steppe light cavalry died under the city wall.
After the Jungar Mongolian steppe cavalry captured "Bianyi City", they directly launched a massacre!
As time went by, the fall and ruin of Gansu Province unfolded at an alarming speed under the rampage of the Jungar Mongolian cavalry...
The Jungar Mongolian soldiers made a show of killing people. For a while, "the city walls were like a fairground, and the bones were like wild beasts." It was difficult to see anyone within a thousand miles.
The Zhungeer Mongolian army took the lead in attacking Jiayuguan, an important town in Gansu, broke through Jiayuguan, burned, killed and looted Jiayuguan.
Immediately afterwards, the Jungar Mongolian army continued to penetrate deep into the hinterland of Gansu, reaching as far south as Longnan City.
The Jungar Mongolian cavalry went on a killing spree in Gansu, so what were the local Qing garrison in Gansu doing...
The various Qing troops in Gansu were so frightened that they cowered in their jurisdiction and did not dare to compete with the invading Mongolian cavalry. Only some troops dared to fight, but they were defeated by the Mongolian cavalry. Those who fought were wiped out, and several generals who fought were also Death on the battlefield.
From the perspective of the Jungar Mongols, their military operation this time can be said to be a fruitful one.
The Jungar Mongols, known as an army of 100,000 people, penetrated the Qing army's eight-border defense line and marched straight into Gansu Province.
The Jungar Mongolian cavalry sacked the east entrance and looted Huairen, Hunyuan, Lingqiu, Mayi, Shuozhou and other places, "killing many people".
With blood flowing thousands of miles, Corpse Mountain and Blood River is a bit exaggerated, but it also appropriately describes the state of Gansu Province at this time.
Just after the dignitaries in the capital had just reacted, the capital was also preparing to send out imperial envoys to handle the military and political affairs of Gansu!
It just so happened that Heshen felt that an opportunity had come to intervene in the military power, so he volunteered to go to Gansu.
Faced with Heshen's request, Heshen's political opponents showed no obvious opposition.
Because the Queen Mother passed away and investigated the Yangzhou salt merchants, he became more popular in officialdom, but also attracted special jealousy.
No, as soon as Heshen's case was announced, some courtiers suddenly asked Emperor Qianlong to transfer their posts to Gansu.
"This is because I want to get involved in Tobe!"
No one in Chaoyan is a fool, and when such an announcement was made, it immediately caused a stir in the court.
Most of the officials were happy to see what had happened. Only when He Shen left the court did they and their people have a chance to reach out. Otherwise, few would have the guts to meddle indiscriminately under He Shen's eyes.
What Hu Bu Shangshu He Shen did back then is still vivid in his mind. As long as anyone with a normal mind would dare to take the attention of the Hu Bu Treasury.
It was not that no officials were impeached during this period. However, the next day, they were all retaliated by He Shen and transferred to remote places to serve. In the end, they even lost their lives.
Emperor Qianlong didn't even hum at such a brutal retaliation, and the elders in the South Study didn't even react at all.
There was no other way. Under Heshen's governance, the Ministry of Revenue went from poverty to wealth in just a few years, and its achievements were obvious to all.
He Shen himself is more "ruly", and the money in each yamen has never been less.
Of course, in addition to this, He Shen had the help of Emperor Qianlong above him and a large group of subordinates below. If there was no conclusive evidence of corruption and perversion of the law, killing him would be like seeking death.
Fortunately, He Shen didn't mean to implicate anyone else. Otherwise, the court would have to reshuffle the cards several times, and at least a few high-ranking officials of the third rank or above would have to pack up everything and leave, or even directly confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans.
"………………"
On the Jungar Mongolian side.
At noon, under the steaming sunshine, the air is like the burning air in a stuffy jar, exuding a burnt smell. The bright sun in the sky makes people's faces hurt.
On the wall of Lanzhou City, a Mongolian centurion was wearing leather armor that was heated by the sun. The sweat flowing on his body left wet marks on his back.
"Damn it, why is the weather in Gansu so hot..."
Harisid touched the beads of sweat on his forehead with his hand. The scorching sun made him feel very unhappy.
"How great it would be if we were here in the Mobei Prairie now. I could personally teach my children to ride horses and archery!"
Harisid began to miss the days of riding horses and grazing in the prairie, and the refreshing cool breeze blew across the endless prairie.
The blue sky, clear lake water, green grassland, cattle and sheep everywhere, those beautiful things,
At this time, if there had been no war, it would have been the day when the annual Saha conference was held in the prairie.
Heroes from all over the prairie will show off their unique skills, tribal leaders will hold a meeting to plan for the coming year, and cattle and sheep will graze in the green grass.
Young men can chase their beloved girls on the grassland and complete the adult ceremony on the grassland.
The land of the Junggar Kingdom is generally located in the northwest of Asia, leaning towards Ugulan. The south is covered by grassland, there are many mountains in the north and west, and the Gobi Desert is in the south.
"………………"
Most of the land of the Jungar Mongols is grassland, which is the main reason why they engage in nomadic herding, and also the main reason why they invade the farming people.
The meals of the Mongolian people in Jungar are mostly meat with some milk tea.
However, the milk tea they drink is not the sweet milk tea that Central Plains people usually drink. They like salty taste, and the natural taste of milk tea is salty.
Milk tea is a food that every household makes. It is carefully brewed with fresh pure milk, tea bricks and salt.
"May the Prairie God bless you," Harisid prayed secretly in his heart.
This is the twenty-first day of the Mongols' invasion of Gansu. Their attack is still as fierce as a pack of wolves.
Here in the capital, the central court of the Qing Dynasty is still in the court hall, discussing who should be sent to Gansu to quell the chaos...
But bad news came from Gansu. The governor of Gansu was assassinated. The soldiers of Gansu were suddenly attacked by a large number of rebels and were defeated. The entire province fell.
The Jungar Mongols are about to attack Shengjing in a detour.
At this time, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were shocked and panicked. Shengjing was one of the Manchu and Qing capitals and one of the most important Manchu cities in the north.
