Baktalma River Pass.

A unit has just crossed the mountain pass.

The leader is about forty years old, with a medium figure and a steady face. He is Yan Dunhuang, who has not appeared for a long time!

Yan Dunhuang once formed Truchen's first mountain force with Wobaxi and others, and showed his skills in the battle to crack down on the Chechen rebel group Mansour.

At that time, Yan Dunhuang was still a student who had just graduated from Ellista Military Academy and now he is a self-contained official.

In recent years, he has been a senior brigade commander-level officer and a governor of a small place. He can be said to be a man of both military and political affairs. Since he decided to manage the Qing Dynasty, Qitade reorganized a mountain camp in Yili Municipality.

A brigade.

There were many candidates who could serve as brigade commander, but now they are all senior officials at the level of reorganization division commander. It is impossible for them to descend to the position of brigade commander, and finally they transferred Yan Dunhuang, who was the governor of Crete, back.

Of course, Yan Dunhuang was also ecstatic when he learned that His Majesty had made up his mind to go deep into the Qing Dynasty.

He is from Dunhuang, Gansu and has long wanted to fight back to his hometown. How could he miss this opportunity?

And the so-called Altannur Banner's surrender to Russia was actually surrendering to Truqin!

The Qing Dynasty naturally did not dare to provoke Truqin, but it was still possible to provoke Russia. Therefore, Danba made that move. If he declared war on Truqin directly, he would probably not dare to agree.

After so many years of open and secret investigations, the Qing court also learned a little bit. Although he dared not make the final conclusion, he hid the population and smuggled items. These two are enough for him to drink a pot.

What's more, Is it still unknown?

If he killed him and his tribes in the name of "connecting to Russia", it will not only shock many tribes, but also eliminate hidden dangers, but also not offend Truqin. It can be said that he will kill more than one shot.

After learning about the Sengge tribe, Yan Dunhuang, who had been stationed in Baril City, immediately set off with a delegation.

Although the Baktalma River runs through the deep mountain canyon of Mount Altai, it is also a place with an extremely high altitude and the climate is extremely cold. Without special training and equipment, ordinary people cannot pass through in spring. For this place, the river water in early June

It will melt, and it is still frozen hard at this time.

The soldiers in the mountain camp all rode war horses with horse hooves and nailed casings, wore thick wool coats, and put down the ears of the leather hats, braved the severe cold of more than minus twenty degrees Celsius to step on the ice of the Baktalma River.

Go east.

When he arrived at the mountain pass, Yan Dunhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Along the way, although I walked on the ice surface that was one meter thick, there were also some places with lower terrain and thinner ice, with the thinnest part being only thirty centimeters. Although there were not many such places, I rode

The tall horse is still a little scared when he stepped on it.

Fortunately, over the past few decades, both our spies and Sengge people have reported the detailed information of this river. After more than 20 years, as long as you know the current temperature, you will know where there is thin ice.

Where can I walk openly?

To this day, Truchen's mountain camp has obviously undergone new changes.

In order to adapt to the ice and snow of the high mountains, all horse hooves are equipped with nail covers. At this time, even if the Khalkhas can ride horses in winter, they cannot get up, especially when walking on rivers.

The horses in the mountain camp have a circle of dull nails on the hoof, which does not hinder fast running and can also prevent slipping to a certain extent. Although the normal fast charge mode cannot be used in wartime, it will obviously be faster than horses without nail covers.

, That's enough.

The horse is also covered with cowhide, camel leather armor, which is light in weight. It can not only keep the horse warm to a certain extent, but also protect the bows and arrows of the nomadic tribes at this time to a certain extent.

Truchen is a country of science and technology, and the combat is carried out completely at the level that one can achieve.

The soldiers in the mountain camp have two guns, an ordinary six-shot rifle, with an effective range of at least 300 meters. The bows and arrows of nomadic tribes generally do not reach this level, and it is not harmful to some Batulu can achieve it.

So, when it is close to three hundred meters, if the gun is slightly raised, it can hit the enemy three hundred meters away. Of course, the hit rate is obviously not as good as that of infantry. If it can reach about 10%, it would be quite good.

/p>

The so-called 10% refers to the killing and injury of enemy cavalry. If horses are included, it can reach at least 20%.

20%, which is also quite considerable.

There is also a shotgun with an effective range of thirty meters. However, considering the speed of the horse, it is quite good to be able to fire three shots in a row when it is close to thirty meters. At this time, the enemy's bow and arrow are obviously

The branch is in a suppressed state.

When they are about thirty meters apart, they will face the threat of shotguns again.

There is nothing more reassuring to deal with the influx of cavalry than the shotgun in the form of barrage.

Then there will be a conventional way of combat, one hand saber and the other hand pistol.

The cavalry of the Qing Dynasty obviously did not carry guns. Cavalry and shooting and horse fighting were tactics that they tried and tested. This tactic has been passed down for thousands of years, and there was almost no change except for the equipment of horses.

However, under the attack of rifles and shotguns, the large number of casualties in the front cavalry would have a great psychological impact on the cavalry behind them. If the decisive battle is held, the morale will obviously be inferior.
p>

This kind of combat method is the standard for all Truchen cavalry, but there have been changes in the mountain camps.

Considering the rugged terrain of the mountains, it is impossible for the cavalry to appear in dense charge formations, and it must be very scattered. Therefore, the rifle is still the same, but the shotgun has changed.

Compared with ordinary cavalry, the shotgun used in mountain camps has a larger caliber and larger bullets, and the coverage area it bursts out is obviously larger.

In order to reduce casualties of its own cavalry, the mountain camp cavalry also put a cowhide vest on the woolen coat, which can not only keep warm but also protect the arrow branches to a certain extent.

There is also a steel helmet embedded inside the leather hat.

With the suppression of range and fire density, the Truqins could not wear thick armor like other nomadic tribes. Their rifles and shotguns still had the effect of attacking the Eight Banners soldiers equipped with cloth cotton armor at this time.

, the impact force of conical bullets is not comparable to that of a mere round lead bullet.

In other aspects, the mountain camp also has some lightweight mortars and short-barrel cannons, with a maximum weight of no more than 100 kilograms. It can be easily carried by a horse and can also easily set up ambush in the mountains.

Compared with the Guards Reorganization Division, a brigade of the mountain camp has almost the same difference in other aspects except for the artillery battalion, and the total number of people has reached more than 5,000.

Using mountain camps to open the road, break through barriers such as Altai Mountain, Sayan Mountain, Tangnu Mountain, and Tianshan Mountain, open up gaps, build forward bases, and then subsequent army enters one after another, which will become the standard combat mode of the Truqins in the future.

Of course, compared with the nearly settled Khalkhas, the Vilas, who have a larger nomadic range, have a more amazing physical fitness, especially in terms of enduring hunger and cold, and adapting to plateau climate.

More than a century ago, Gushikhan of the Heshuote tribe led tens of thousands of cavalry cavalry through Kunlun Mountains and into the Qinghai-Tibet unmanned area, and then went straight to Lhasa and took down the snowy area in one fell swoop. During this period, Gushikhan's troops did not have a large scale.

The loss of troops and generals due to altitude sickness.

This is truly the greatest feat in history to enter the snow zone, no doubt about it.

The Turkuts are also one of the Weilas, and they will not be worse than their ancestors. With more powerful protection and equipment, there is no reason to do worse than their predecessors.

After walking out of the Baktarma River Pass, the road suddenly became wide open, and Yan Dunhuang issued a new order.
