Another son of Babai Khan, named Abdullah Shit, was also in the Turon army at this time.
His father is a coward, his brother is a fool, and he himself is a smart little kid.
This guy was commanding the Turpan cavalry. When he saw the number and equipment of the Datong cavalry, he felt that he might not be able to defeat them. Therefore, when the cavalry was fighting, his private soldiers did not enter the battle at all, and only allowed the fanatic cavalry and noble cavalry to charge and kill.
Seeing that hundreds of the fanatic cavalry had been killed by muskets even though they had not made any achievements, Abdullah Shit had the idea of defecting.
Each Turrontai began to blow their bugles to urge him, and he had to lead his private cavalry to rush out. However, this guy didn't care about the flank battlefield at all, but always stared at the front battlefield.
He soon discovered that his brother's artillery had been disabled, and the front army was bombarded by Chinese artillery and their formation was in chaos.
Abdullah Shit immediately shouted: "Go around the flank of the enemy cavalry!"
This guy seems to be leading a private army around, but he is actually staying away from the battlefield. As long as the situation is not good, he can quickly escape back to Turpan, or he can go back and stab his brother in the back.
Of course, if the Chinese army weakens, he will immediately rush to the Datong Army.
Anyway, just one sentence: Whoever wins helps whom, as long as he keeps his own private soldiers.
Historically, this guy persevered until the end and actually became the King of Yarkand. Unfortunately, he was not even considered the last king. He was like the emperor of the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, who could only entertain himself in the corner.
But the Datong cavalry did not allow him to stay in a swing position. Qin Liangyu's grandson Ma Wannian led a division of cavalry to follow.
Thirty-five hundred brave cavalry rushed out first, intending to disrupt the battlefield and create a wall charge opportunity for the Yi cavalry who were already in formation.
Abdullah Shit's personal cavalry only consisted of three to four hundred men, all of whom were wearing iron armor. In addition, he was accompanied by two thousand Turpan noble cavalry. Seeing the Datong cavalry rushing towards him, this guy was not willing to accept them at all.
He actually turned around and ran away with his private soldiers. He only had his own private soldiers in his eyes.
You can lose this battle, but your private soldiers must not suffer any losses.
Abdullah Shit is the commander of the cavalry. If he suddenly leads his troops to escape, it will definitely have bad consequences.
At first, the nobles thought he was flying a kite. After all, it was normal for cavalry to cruise back and forth. But gradually they realized something was wrong. Abdullah Shit retreated further and further, exposing all the remaining friendly cavalry flanks to Datong.
Under the front of the valiant cavalry.
Upon seeing this, Ma Wannian immediately ordered: "Blow the trumpet quickly, stop the cavalry from chasing, turn on the spot and cut off the remaining enemy cavalry!"
"Woooooo~~~~"
The horns were wailing, and the chasing cavalry received the order and began to slow down. After almost decelerating, they collectively drew a beautiful arc, turned towards the remaining enemy cavalry, and killed them in the middle.
Ma Wannian shouted again: "The remaining Xiaoqi, charge from the left. The Yi cavalry, charge frontally! The dragoons, withdraw from the battlefield, and together with the Qinghai cavalry, go around and block the enemy's retreat!"
All the Datong cavalry were on the move, and their charge from the waist had panicked the enemy cavalry. The dispatch of another group of valiant cavalry was to intercept and narrow the range of the enemy cavalry's movement.
Three thousand Yi cavalry formed a wall and rushed over overwhelmingly.
Even the remaining fanatical believer cavalry were frightened when they saw this formation, and subconsciously dodged to the side and ran away.
The enemy cavalry troops were completely dispersed.
The two groups of cavalry accelerated instantly and took the opportunity to kill the enemy who had lost their organization. The enemy cavalry was completely cut off. It seemed that they were only slightly inferior in number, but they were surrounded in local battlefields. One noble cavalry often had to deal with ten Datong cavalry.
The dragoons and Qinghai cavalry, completely ignoring the battlefield, circled towards the rear of the enemy infantry formation from the outside.
Abdullah Shit felt that he was defeated, and wanted to go back and stab his brother in the back. However, he found that the dragoons and Qinghai cavalry were "chasing" him, and he was immediately sweating with anxiety. He didn't even have the chance to defect in battle.
No.
It is not easy to rebel on the battlefield. One is the communication problem, and the other is the trust problem.
If Abdullah Shit did not run away directly, but chose to backstab the whole team, it is possible that he was killed by the Chinese cavalry who were chasing him before he could attack his brother.
In desperation, Abdullah Shit could only continue to escape.
As he ran away, he became further and further away from the battlefield. There were more than 800 private soldiers and noble cavalry around him. These guys simply stopped fighting and fled directly to Turpan to release their father Babai Khan who was under house arrest first. The specific plan was to
Surrender or flee to Aksu, Babai Khan will decide.
Touluntai was completely panicked, and the situation on the battlefield changed too quickly.
His younger brother fled, the cavalry collapsed, and his own retreat was cut off. Several units in the front army were bombarded by 100 artillery pieces, and their formations were in disarray. He could only bite the bullet and lead the entire army to charge.
You must charge, you cannot retreat, and you cannot stand still, otherwise the army may collapse directly.
In fact, there are already deserters.
Some soldiers could not withstand the pressure of the artillery and were so frightened that they turned around and fled, and were killed many times by Toulontai's law enforcement team.
The soldiers of Turpan and Hami, under the threat of Turun Tai, reluctantly rushed towards the Datong Army.
"Tiger Crouching Cannon comes forward!"
More than two hundred tiger cannons were carried by soldiers to the rear of the vehicle formation.
The enemy troops rushed halfway and were bombarded by a hundred artillery pieces. Soldiers kept running away in fear. After gradually approaching, more than two hundred tiger cannons were divided into two groups and fired shotguns in turn. Several soldiers were on the spot.
The enemy troops dispersed.

"Bang bang bang!"
Then there was another volley of musketry, and before the thick smoke dissipated, the enemy troops at the front had all collapsed.
Even if they can continue to charge, they will still face the obstruction of the vehicle formation, and behind the vehicle formation there will be grenadiers.
The valiant cavalry and Yi cavalry did not attack the enemy infantry, mainly because they were afraid of being accidentally injured by their own fire. They focused on chasing down the enemy cavalry that had broken up. The enemy infantry was dealt with by dragoons and Qinghai cavalry.
"Dongdongdongdong!"
The war drums of Jiang Liang's central army suddenly sounded.
Then there was another burst of bugles, and the Datong infantry charged collectively with bayonets in hand, chasing down the scattered enemy troops and scattering those that had not completely collapsed.
The dragoons and Qinghai cavalry that circled to the rear also headed towards Touluntai's Chinese army.
"Run away!"
Touluntai, who was frightened by more than 200 tiger cannons, finally came to his senses and left with dozens of mounted guards.
As soon as the commander fled, the Chinese army was immediately in chaos.
The dragoons first rushed forward and fired their guns. Instead of loading bullets, they drew their sabers one after another and led the Qinghai cavalry to kill them at close range.
The Qinghai Cavalry is a temporarily formed miscellaneous force. Its soldiers come from dozens of tribes in Qinghai, including Tibetans, Hui, Tu, Salar, Mongolians... there are more than twenty ethnic minorities.
It will definitely not work to let them fight a tough battle, they must want to preserve their strength.
But fighting with the wind is very useful. When they charged, they performed more bravely than the dragoons. The chaotic Toulontai Chinese Army collapsed after being charged by the Qinghai Cavalry, and then faced a variety of ethnic minority weapons.
.
The dragoons were too lazy to take care of the defeated troops, leaving it to the Qinghai cavalry to deal with, and then turned to pursue Touluntai who fled to the Gobi.
The dragoons only wore light armor and were extremely fast. They chased him for several miles and finally caught up with Toulontai.
This man was not only reckless in character, but also fearless of death. Seeing that he could not escape, he actually reined in his horse, led dozens of bodyguards, and countercharged towards more than a thousand dragoons.
"Yarkang warriors must die on the battlefield!"
Touluntai raised his spear and shouted, and dozens of cavalry guards also roared, but no one ran away.
The dragoons also stopped and sat on their horses to reload their ammunition.
When Touluntai led his guards to approach, hundreds of horsemen who had loaded their ammunition started shooting at the dozens of enemies.
"I don't accept it!"
Touluntai was not shot, but his horse was shot.
He was thrown to pieces, but he stood up quickly. He wanted to have a bloody battle before dying, but the dragoons did not give him a chance, and they had to use muskets to fight dozens of more than a thousand people.
The cavalry guards fell off their horses one after another, and there were actually a few who miraculously survived, including both men and horses. They were baptized by bullets and bullets, and no longer had the courage to charge, so they pulled the reins and continued to turn around and escape.
More dragoons filled their ammunition and fired at the survivors, killing none of them.
"Captured."
Dragoons rode up to surround him.
Touluntai and another guard were standing back to back.
He glanced at the Datong Dragoons, suddenly pulled out his machete, and wiped it on his own neck. Before he died, he left his last words: "The last warrior of Yerqiang finally died in the hands of cunning enemies."
Although this man is a bit crazy, compared with other nobles in Yarkant, he still deserves a little respect.
On the frontal battlefield, the disintegrated noble cavalry had been chased down by the Datong cavalry until very few remained.
The Qinghai cavalry was chasing down the scattered infantry. As long as they were still running away, they would kill them with a knife. Sometimes those who had surrendered were also killed. Even if the ones killed were serf soldiers, Jiang Liang did not stop it——
After all, if we don’t kill more people on the battlefield, how can there be enough land for Han immigrants?
Ebedulla from Hami had two missing arrows stuck in his back, which were left behind by the heroic cavalry.
This guy already regretted that he should have listened to his father's words and surrendered to the Datong Army in Hami. He was so obsessed that he went to Turpan and followed Turun Tai to fight.
What a fart!
Whoosh!
Another arrow came, and Ebedula subconsciously leaned down, but he didn't expect that the arrow was hitting the horse under his crotch.
The horse accelerated in pain, stepped on the Gobi stones with its front hooves, and both the horse and man fell forward.
The future King of Hami had his left leg pressed down by a war horse. He shouted in fear and wanted to surrender, but saw several brave cavalry chasing him. They all drew their bows and set arrows. They only drew half full before releasing arrows.
It shot towards him from a distance of two to three meters.
The military order states that no nobles should be spared. The armor on Ebedulla's body clearly shows that he is a high noble.
All the fanatical believer cavalry were already dead. They rushed too far forward, and those people were the first to be surrounded and killed.
The battlefield was littered with corpses, stretching for miles. More than 30,000 people were killed by the formation, and the knives of the Qinghai cavalry were blunted.
The defeated enemy troops had no way to escape because there were too many cavalrymen of the Datong Army. In the end, they could no longer run away. Thousands of them knelt down and begged for mercy. Those who were singled out and wearing armor were immediately executed.
The serf soldiers who could not be punished still had hope of survival.
