Chapter 70: The cavalry protrudes with swords and guns (3) Alatan (Part 1)
In early September, Qitad, who was originally confronting the Qing army north of Zhaisangbo across the Crashu River, came to Tarbachtai.
September is already early winter for the vicinity of Kingsoft, and the first heavy snow in winter is about to fall.
This time he secretly visited Chencang, leaving only two dragon cavalry regiments on the west bank of the Crasso River, and the remaining four thousand Hussars and one thousand personal guard regiments were taken away.
Before this, he sent a large number of reconnaissance cavalry to attack Cheng Gunzabu's cavalry on the north and south sides of Zhaisangbo. In the end, Cheng Gunzabu did not dare to send reconnaissance cavalry again, and he used it after that.
One night, I went west first, and then bypassed Mount Tarbach Tai, and came to the Tarbach Taitai Grassland.
Deep in the foreign land, he must take risks.
He also had to take risks, and he launched the day before Amursana's army advanced eastward to prepare for a decisive battle with the Yongchang army.
If he acted in a stable manner according to those people in history, even if he defeated various Qing troops, it would be impossible to move a large number of Junggar herders back to Europe.
The best strategy is to annihilate the Qing army with a large amount of vitality and make it have no spare energy to pursue.
Therefore, every step he takes must be planned in a smooth manner. If he takes a wrong step, he will be in vain.
Chimkur, Amursana's second brother, is now guarding the back of Tarbachtai.
The Tarbakh National Taiwan Grassland, the Dragon Rise of the Chuoluo family of the Junggar people, is now occupied by the Huits. Although after defeating the Kazakhs, Ili became their tent after obtaining the Feng Shui treasure land of Yili.
.
But letting the Whits occupy their dragon-rise land is as incredible as the Manchus let the Mongols enter Jilin in large numbers and Liaoning nomads.
This can only show that the tribe under the Choros family was indeed weak at this time.
Otherwise, Amursana would not have taken advantage of the loophole.
After seeing Qitad, the remaining trace of allegiance to the Qing Dynasty in Qimukur's heart was gone. At this time, although Amursana and Yongchang had not yet decided on the victory, Truqin's
The name in his heart seemed to be different from the Qing Dynasty.
For the chiefs of these nomadic tribes, loyalty to the Central Plains dynasty is not an inevitable choice. If there is still a powerful force on the grassland, they will join the latter's camp without hesitation.
Therefore, he only made a short stop at Tarbach Platform and then went north.
At this time, the decisive battle between Amursana and Yongchang's army had begun. Many Qing army scouts went north to communicate with Salar, and naturally they were intercepted by Truqin scouts.
So, if there is no accident, neither Yongchang to the south nor Salar to the north will know nothing.
They wore the robes of Mongolian tribal cavalry and could easily intercept the scout cavalry left by Salar in the rear army, and then crossed the Ulungu Lake and successfully arrived at Salar's real rear base - Alatan!
Alatan is Altay in later generations.
After the Ertzis River flowed south of Altai, it formed a large swamp, making it impossible for people to live in the northern shore of Ulungu Lake, and could only be stationed in Altan further north.
Alatan is the tent of the King of Junggar tribe in Jinshan. Of course, Dataiji, who had no Jinshan tribe at this time, was gone. The herdsmen who stayed on the southern foot of Jinshan had already died and fled during several Qing and Zhu wars.
Escape, that is, there are still a small number of herders here.
Qitade's army arrived one night, and all the thousands of Mongolian infantry and thousands of civilians stationed here were taken down by them without any precautions.
Then Qitad sat here waiting for Salar to come back.
Yes, the war in the south is coming to an end. If there is no accident, the Qing army will be defeated. In that case, regardless of whether he occupied Alatan or not, Yongchang's people will notify Salar.
Once Yongchang's army was defeated, Salar would never foolishly continue to confront him in Zhaisangbo, but would retreat quickly.
Sure enough, the next evening, Ailona's scout came here and asked them to inform the army in the south to inform them of the war results.
Qitad asked the prisoners to come forward to answer, but in fact he ignored it.
He knew that in addition to informing us here, Yongchang Detective Cavalry would also go to Zhaisangbo to inform us of the outcome of the war in the south.
Sure enough, when I waited for the next morning, Salar's nearly 20,000 troops had already arrived near Altan.
Salar finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the golden birch forest on the banks of the Klan River.
It is said that the southern army was the main force of the Qing army this time, but the Truqins still won, which made Salar feel frightened. Like Qitade, he quietly left the civilians with his team and a small number of Han military flags.
The brigade of cavalry retreated to the east overnight.
After a day and night of marching, he saw that his camp was safe and sound in the rear, Salar would definitely rest for a while before continuing to rush.
Since Cheng Gonzabu was cut off and was thirty miles away from him, he believed that even if Qitade chased him, he would have plenty of time to return to Ulya Sutai through Altai.
Moreover, because Yongchang has been defeated, if he can bring this army back to Ulya Sutai in full, I believe the court will reward him.
What, rescue the captured Tang Kalu and others?
Go dreaming.
Later generations passed through the Klan River in Altay's urban area and fog was blew in the morning, and the golden birch forest was looming. The snow top of Jinshan in the distance reflected dazzling light in the morning's eyes. All of this made Salar feel at ease.
He used to be one of the Zaisang of the Jinshan tribe. He was familiar with everything here and could come here with his eyes closed.
The cattle and sheep of nearby herders have been released, and they enjoy the few good times before the winter comes in the vast pastures on both sides of the Crane River.
Everything is normal.
Everything is so peaceful.
In an instant, Salar actually got up and stayed here to stay in the herds. He didn't want to return to the place where although he knew each other, he had to be careful.
But he had no choice. His family was all there. The emperor today looked gentle and elegant, but he was even more powerful than the nobles on the grassland. Moreover, after this "sweeping", except for the alpine meadows deep in the mountains, the mountains are deep in the mountains.
There are still a small number of herders in it, and a large number of herders were "annihilated" by him.
Yes, it is definitely annihilation.
It was still under the leadership of his former Kingsoft Zaisang, and the next tribe was annihilated one by one. Looking back at the scene at that time, it is not an exaggeration to stain Kingsoft with blood.
But Salar did not receive any news that the Truqins were coming at that time. He strictly implemented the secret orders of the Qing court, almost killing all the eighteen male men who were higher than the wheels of the Kings Mountain, and sent all their women and children to Urumqi.
In his heart at that time, compared with the powerful and terrifying Qing Dynasty, the entire Khanate was like a crumbling golden pine tree, which looked tall and tall, but a strong wind in winter could blow it down and then become herders.
Fuel for winter.
The Qing Dynasty was obviously fully aware of this situation, so this time they did not send a large number of Manchurian Eight Banners and Green Camp soldiers, basically the eight Mongolian Eight Banners.
But with the addition of Truchen, things are different.
Although I didn't know whether the Truqins would join the battle group before, they defeated the strong with weak and defeated the Kazakhs.
Salar is now in a desert about thirty miles wide before entering Altar. Not far ahead is Altar with abundant water and grass!
At present, his nearly 20,000 troops have all entered the desert, and even the Chenggunzabu tribe behind him has come in, all spread on this thirty-mile-long desert. When he thinks that there is his own wooden tent in front of him,
Sarar's heart was greatly excited by the group of maids and delicious meals.
"Driving!"
He took the lead in entering the oasis.
Before the first heavy snow in winter, the scene of the oasis is still intoxicating.
Except for a yellow sand.
A yellow sand accompanied by the rumbling sound of horse hooves.
After learning that Salar's army arrived as scheduled, Qitade couldn't help but feel excited.
Since he stepped into this strange land, he seemed relaxed and freehand on the surface, but in fact he was trembling and walking on thin ice. He knew that he did not have real friends on this land.
Even if a tribe comes from a tribe, he will not come to rescue him if he faces danger. After a hundred years, no matter how good the tribe is, he should be alienated from his blood relationship.
The tribes on the grassland, especially the large tribes, are formed by constantly absorbing surrounding tribes. The habits, customs and language of the core tribes influence other tribes, and this is how they finally form a large tribe.
.
The Mongols used to be just the Mongwu Wei, a member of many Wei people in the northern border. However, because of his strength, all tribes, even some tribes who speak Turkic, called themselves Mongols, were the Ming Dynasty.

Fortunately, he has a rigorous and intelligent style from later generations. In addition to being a spy like the Hunting Man, he also bribed a large number of people who could be bought early in the morning, which made him take every step extremely steadily.
/p>
Of course, his advantage of two generations of firearms is also the reason why he is so confident.
With the great reputation it has created in recent years, it is finally safe.
Now it is the final stage, and there is no need to be careless.
This time, he brought four thousand Hussars and one thousand personal guards, who had already ambushed in the desert in advance, and he himself brought a regiment to fight the leading Qing army!
He knew very well that this Qing army, including the two routes of the Tianshan Mountains, had not many real Eight Banners of Manchuria, and the green camps. A large number of Eight Banners of Mongolia and tribal cavalry. Even if they were all annihilated, it would be the damage to the Qing Dynasty's national strength.
It's also very small.
In addition to the strong national strength of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, the rise of Ablikhan of the Kazakh Khanate was also one of the reasons. Before this, the successive Khans of the Junggars continued to fight frequently with the Kazakhs whose strength was gradually increasing, and they had already won the Khan.
The country's strength has been reduced to a very weak point.
Of course, the most important thing is internal struggle. Once Galdan died, the subsequent Khans fought for power and profit endlessly. By the mid-18th century, the scene of internal struggle was extremely tragic.
Therefore, although there are more than 100,000 herdsmen, there are very few real young and strong people left.
Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty would not have easily destroyed it.
But the premise of extermination is that the Kazakhs allow them to do this, because their ranch was intertwined, and later they even entered the Kazakh ranch because they avoided the Qing army.
Without the tacit consent of the Kazakhs, the Qing army would not have been able to do this.
Any tribe has its own reason. Since the Tatars (Inner Mongolia) are still there, why not allow the Oirat to exist?
This is Qitade's idea, so he must destroy the Qing army in front of him!
Now the Qing army has been trekking for a day and night, and it is time to be exhausted.
God will suffer the consequences instead of taking it!
This time, without any concealment, he showed off his Truqin army's outfit and personally led the guard group to rush up!
When I saw that Qitade's pole was about one meter high, with no flags around it, and the whole side was red, with cloud patterns embroidered with gold thread (around it), and a golden dragon's military flag with teeth and claws embroidered with gold thread in the middle,
