After seeing a large-scale Han army ambush on the north bank of the Xiaochuan River, Su He, who was originally calm, couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Su He made a rough estimate and found that the total number of Han ambush troops on both sides of the Xiaochuan River was 30,000, which was more than twice the strength of the Mongolian army.
The Han army that arrived was much stronger!
At the same time, not only was the Mongolian army at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but it was already extremely exhausted after marching all night. It was also divided into two parts by the Xiaochuan River. Not only was the strength further dispersed, it was difficult for them to support each other and join together! Even if it was barely possible,
Even if the troops are gathered together in one place and surrounded by the Han army, they are still in a desperate situation!
The most important thing is that because of the existence of the Xiaochuan River, the Mongolian army's cavalry advantage has been greatly weakened. It is unable to roam and attack in a large area. It can only attack the enemy's strengths with its own shortcomings, and is forced to confront the Han army head-on!
As Zhao Junchen said, the weather, location, people and people are all on the side of the Han army. Although the Xiaochuan River is not a natural chasm, at this time, it can bring the greatest advantage to the Han army!
After secretly appraising the strengths and weaknesses of both the enemy and ourselves, Su He felt more and more that this battle would not be easy, and the Mongolian army might not be able to gain any advantage!
So, Su He hurriedly asked Yasida and Amul: "Master Yasida, leader Amul, this ambush by the Han people has obviously been planned for a long time. I think their strength is at least twice that of ours.
The terrain is not conducive to cavalry operations, what should we do?"
Yasita gritted his teeth and said: "What else can we do? Fight with the Han people! I don't believe that the cowardly Han people will be my opponents from the Mongolian warriors!"
Amul looked a little flustered and said: "The Han people are too powerful to fight against each other. It would be better for us to break through..."
Seeing that Yasida and Amul once again had opposite opinions and both had no specific plans, Su He quickly said: "In my opinion, it is better to break out! General Yasida, our warriors are still of great use.
We can’t let the damage here go in vain! If the damage on our side is too serious, it may affect the plans of Great Khan Galdan and Chief Bagan!”
After Su He carried out Galdan and Bagan, Yasida, who originally planned to fight the Han army, had no choice but to change his mind and asked: "In your opinion, where is the best way for us to break out?"
Su He obviously had an idea in mind, and said: "Of course we break out to the north and return to Jiezhou City along the original route to join the main force of the Allied forces! There are still 20,000 Mongolian troops under Jiezhou City. As long as we break through the siege,
Run towards Jiezhou City, the Han army will never dare to chase us!"
After hearing Su He's proposal, Yasida hesitated and asked: "Break through to the north? Return to Jiezhou City? Then don't we violate Lord Bagan's order? Don't we support Lord Gugen?"
Seeing that the Han ambushes on both sides of the Xiaochuan River were gradually approaching, Yasida was still hesitant. Su He could not help but explain eagerly: "The Han people have gathered more than 30,000 troops here, which means they will attack Zhenning Acropolis."
The Han army is just a cover and will never exceed 20,000. What's more, the terrain near Zhenning Acropolis is flat. With nearly 10,000 cavalry under Lord Gugen's command, he will definitely not suffer. At least he can escape and preserve his strength! In comparison,
On the contrary, the situation here is even more dangerous! General Yasida, we in the Junggar Khanate only have so many combatable soldiers, so it is best to preserve our strength now!"
At this point, Su He's eyes flashed with a stern look, and he added: "In addition, most of our troops crossing the river first are Kazakh cavalry. We can let them stay on the north bank to defend against the Han ambush on the north bank... In this way
, we can concentrate our efforts on dealing with the Han ambush on the south bank, and the strength gap will be greatly reduced. It will not be difficult to successfully break through!"
Hearing what Su He said, Yasida couldn't help but be shocked, but she didn't expect that Su He, who was usually quiet and unassuming, would be so ruthless at the critical moment!
Judging from the current battlefield situation, there is no difference between the so-called "cutting off the queen" and "sending death"!
Su He's suggestion was actually to gain a chance to break out of the encirclement at the cost of the lives of all the Kazakh cavalry!
After the Kazakh leader Heida Abaier was beheaded by Bagan himself, the Kazakh army became cannon fodder when the Mongolian coalition forces attacked the city. They have been suffering heavy losses these days! The Kazakh soldiers who followed Bagan to invade the Han territory originally numbered seven
With more than a thousand people, it was the largest force among the servant armies of all tribes, but now there are less than three thousand people left, and most of them are concentrated in their army.
Unexpectedly, Su He would not let go of even the last bit of Kazakh troops, and actually wanted to take the opportunity to annihilate the Kazakh army here!
Among the Mongolian coalition forces, Su He has always been a good old man. He usually gets along well with the leaders of all ethnic groups. Even he has a good relationship with Wang Quan, a newly recruited Han who defected to the Mongolian coalition forces. But when Bagan killed Hai
When they arrived at Abair, Su He not only did not stop him, but actually contributed to the situation. When Bagan imprisoned Wang Quan, Su He also watched with cold eyes. Now he has to sacrifice the last bit of Kazakh energy!
It is conceivable that once the Kazakh army invading Han territory is completely wiped out, the Kazakh tribes in the Western Regions will be severely weakened, and they may never recover. In this case, when Su He returns to the Western Regions, his Chagatai tribes will naturally
It can take a lot of advantage!
Thinking of this, Yasida couldn't help but secretly fear Su He's forbearance and ruthlessness.
However, Yasida did not object to Su He's suggestion.
If the Chagatai cavalry or the Yarkand cavalry were to be cut off, Su He and Amul would definitely object. Now that the war is urgent, it is not the time to argue and discuss. If the direct troops of the Junggar were to be cut off, Yasida would be even less willing.
...In this way, the Kazakh army has become the best victim!
After Heida Abair was beheaded by Bagan, the Kazakh army had no spokesperson at the upper level of the Mongolian coalition. It was like a stepmother's child, so naturally it could be given up at will!
So, after Yasida thought for a moment, he immediately agreed to Su He's suggestion and loudly ordered: "Send the order, order the Kazakh cavalry to take charge of the rear, and ask them to block the Han ambush on the north bank! The Junggar Khanate and warriors of all ethnic groups
Immediately turn around and return to the south bank to join the main force of our army, and the entire army will follow me to break out towards Jiezhou City!"
Under Yasida's order, except for the Kazakh cavalry, the Mongolian army turned their horses and ran towards the south bank of the Xiaochuan River.
At the same time, the Han army's ambush troops were also marching very fast. The main force had already rushed out of the Yunluan Valley and was rapidly approaching the south bank of the Xiaochuan River. The vanguard cavalry had even rushed to hundreds of the Mongolian army, and they were constantly riding and shooting.
Go and contain the Mongolian army's actions!
Seeing that the war situation was urgent, Yasida, Su He, and Amul rushed to the shore. They did not care about the thousands of Mongolian soldiers who had not yet come ashore, and led the Mongolian army to break out in the direction of Jiezhou City!
Soon, in the sound of charging and killing that resounded in the sky, the two armies collided fiercely!

"Kill! Kill all the Mongolian Tatars! We must not let them break out and escape! My sons, follow me and rush over!"
On the battlefield, a border military attache from Guyuan Military Town rushed to the front, waving a blade in his hand and shouting loudly.
This person’s name is Qiu Dongye. His parents died in the fire-sweeping bandits ten years ago. He has always hated the Mongolian Tatars the most. During this time, because of Zhao Junchen’s various brainwashing methods, his fighting spirit has become even higher. He wants to kill them all with his own hands.
Get the Mongols to pay homage to your parents’ spirits in heaven!
When the Ming army rushed out of Yunluan Mountain, Qiu Dongye even forgot about his status as the chief flag officer and took the lead and rushed to the front!
Amidst the thunderous sound of horse hooves, Qiu Dongye showed no fear. He only had one thought in his mind, which was to kill all the Mongolian Tatars in front of him with his sword!
Soon, the Mongolian army's breakout vanguard had rushed in front of Qiu Dongye.
However, just as Qiu Dongye raised the blade in his hand and was about to slash at the Mongolian cavalry at the front, a burst of arrows suddenly shot out, knocking down a large number of the Han soldiers around Qiu Dongye, and one of the stray arrows just shot
Entered Qiu Dongye’s head!
In this way, before killing any Mongolian cavalry, Qiu Dongye fell on the battlefield. When he fell to the ground, his eyes were wide open and full of unwillingness.
Then, as the Mongolian cavalry ran past, the bodies of Qiu Dongye and his colleagues were trampled into flesh, making it difficult to distinguish them anymore!
On the chaotic battlefield, everyone was too busy looking after themselves. No one knew Qiu Dongye’s hatred, and no one knew Qiu Dongye’s unwillingness before his death!

Bodok is a cavalry leader of the Junggar Khanate. His riding skills are among the best even among the Junggar Khanate with countless cavalry!
Once upon a time, Burdock and his comrades relied on their excellent riding skills to kill enemies several times their own size with an almost teasing attitude!
However, today Burdock can no longer display his proud riding skills!
Without him, there were too many Han troops, and they were all desperate. The environment on the south bank of the Xiaochuan River did not allow Burdock to use his best guerrilla cavalry and shooting tactics. Therefore, after the initial charge, Burdock
Being surrounded by the Han army, the war horse under his crotch could no longer gallop on the battlefield!
"Crazy! All the Han people are crazy! Aren't the Han people the most cowardly? Aren't they going to collapse after a slight casualty? Why is this Han army so crazy? The charge just now clearly killed hundreds of them.
But they are still unswerving?"
Burdock seemed to be waving his saber wildly and slashing at the surrounding Han troops, but he couldn't help but have this thought in his heart. He felt that the performance of the Han troops in front of him was beyond his imagination.
However, before Burdock could figure out where the Han people's fighting spirit came from, a spear suddenly pierced his heart!
Suddenly, Burdock fell off his horse and was chopped into pieces by the surrounding Han troops!
"It would be great if the Han people still wanted to be as timid as before..."
This was Burdock's last thought before his death.

The space on the south bank of the Xiaochuan River is narrow, and the Mongolian army has no room for guerrilla cavalry. If they want to break out, they can only rely on charge tactics and use war horses and machetes to carve a way out!
The Han army finally formed a siege, and naturally could not let the Mongolian army escape, so they could only collide head-on with the Mongolian army, using their own bodies to resist the charge of the Mongolian horses, and using the blade in their hands to slash at the Mongolian horses.
Tartars!
On the battlefield, the two armies were fighting together, and a large number of lives were lost every moment!
Blood dyed the ground red, and corpses and severed limbs could be seen everywhere!
The arrows fired by both sides covered the sky, and the earth was filled with people fighting alone!
The sound of horses neighing, screams, shouts, and the clash of weapons!
All commands and tactics have failed at this moment, no one can care about themselves, only the swords and guns in their hands are the most reliable!
This is a confrontation between will and flesh and blood!
Just as the battle between the two armies became increasingly fierce, Zhao Junchen stood on Yunluan Mountain and looked at the scene on the battlefield, his expression becoming more solemn.
