When the day agreed to send troops arrived, Oqirtu Khan brought 30,000 troops and horses from his own army, plus 4,000 troops from Danjin Taiji of the Heshuote tribe and Gonbu Taiji of the Torgut tribe, for a total of 34,000 troops.
The army crossed the Gilghis Mountains and fought fiercely towards Shache City (Yarkand City), the capital of the Yarkand Khanate.
His goal was to seize the western half of the Yarkand Khanate. Along the way, he conquered Koshgar, Yumuhan, Atebash, Aksai and other places with overwhelming momentum, and approached the Turugart Pass.
.
Sengge led 30,000 troops from the Junggar tribe and 5,000 troops from the Durbot tribe, Aladar Taiji, through the Junggar Desert and captured Beslopali, Verumu and other places. This area was later called Urumqi.
It was originally the nomadic area of the Heshuote tribe. Most of the Heshuote tribe went to Qinghai-Tibet with Gushi Khan, and the other went to the Volga River with the Torgut tribe. After that, there were not many Heshuote tribesmen here, and the Junggar tribe
He and the Yarkand Khanate fought over this place repeatedly.
Sengge's goal was to seize the eastern half of the Yarkand Khanate, and his army approached Turpan City.
On the surface, both the Junggar tribe and the Heshuote tribe dispatched 30,000 troops, with similar strength. In fact, Oqiltu Khan had used all his strength, while Sengge still left some troops to guard against the Rakshasa people.<
/p>
There was no other way. After Ertu Khan of Oqil moved the Heshuote tribe to Ili, it mainly bordered the Kazakh Khanate and was separated from the Rakshasa people by a vast desert. However, the capital of Junggar, Boxaili, was far away from the Rakshasa people.
When people are not far away, we dare not leave troops behind. This leads to the fact that although Sengge is stronger than Oqiltu, the number of troops he can dispatch is about the same.

Shache City (Yarkand City), the capital of the Yarkand Khanate, is an ancient city with a long history. At this time, it is full of tense atmosphere.
When Abdullah Khan was young, he was an excellent monarch. He conquered the east and west, unified the khanate, and conquered an empire bounded by Jiayuguan in the east, snowy areas in the south, Kashmir and Uzbekistan in the west, Junggar in the north, and encompassing Yarkand.
The huge khanates in Turpan, Hami, Tarim and other places.
But now that he is old, he becomes suspicious as he gets older. He always feels that someone is trying to gain his throne. He neither trusts the clan nor the ministers. He constantly replaces those who have fallen out of favor with upstarts, which makes the great nobles distrust him.
The dictatorship is becoming increasingly dissatisfied. Not only the White Mountain sect, but also some high-ranking officials of the Black Mountain sect are also interested in him.
However, a tiger is a tiger. Even if he is old and even if many ministers have second thoughts, as long as there are no external forces to intervene, he can still firmly control the situation in the Khanate. Within the Khanate, no one dares to offend his tiger power.
"Great Khan, our envoy has returned from the Huite tribe. Erdan Deshteji is afraid of the Dzungars and refuses to send troops to rescue," Abdullah Khan's nephew Ismayel reported.
Taiji Erdantes of the Huite tribe has always supported the Montenegrin faction, but he supports it. When he heard that the two powerful tribes of Heshuote and Junggar had joined forces to attack the Yarkand Khanate, he was too frightened to send troops.<
/p>
"Huh, it's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself."
Abdullah Khan snorted coldly, "You quickly organize your troops and horses, and follow this Khan to Turugaert Pass to stop the Heshuote people."
Ismail asked: "Great Khan, what about Turpan?"
"Let Ulebals lead the army to rescue Turpan".
"Great Khan, Prince Ulibals was bewitched by the Baishan sect and has always been resentful towards you. If you send him to rescue Turpan, I'm afraid he will sacrifice the city and surrender to the enemy," Ismayel advised.
"Absolutely impossible!"
Abdullah Khan said confidently: "Yulbals is the biological son of Ben Khan. In the face of a powerful enemy, how can there be any reason for a son to betray his father?"

Chishi Mountain, also known as Flame Mountain, is made of red sandstone. Under the scorching sun, the hot air currents rise, and the reddish-brown sandstone shines red and the clouds and smoke are swirling, just like the burning flames of a fire. This place is the hottest place in China.
You can bake eggs in the sand nest. Legend has it that Sun Dasheng San borrowed a banana fan to extinguish the fire on this mountain, otherwise it would become even hotter.
The volcano is now visible, suddenly rising to the east of Puchang.
Red flames burned the clouds, and the flames steamed up the sky.
I don’t know how to burn the charcoal of Yin and Yang alone.
When I came to visit in the hot winter, there was a scorching wind under the mountain.
People and horses sweat, but who knows what will happen?
Sengge's army arrived at the foot of Chishi Mountain. It was already November, but it was still so hot that the soldiers were sweating profusely.
Guarding Chishi Mountain is Abdullah Khan’s second brother, Turpan Azim (Governor) Azim Khan.
At that time, Abdullah Khan unified the Khanate and appointed his second brother Aji Khan as Turpan Aqim, and his fifth brother Babai Khan as Hami Aqim.
Later, in the Qing Dynasty, Milayin broke out in the Hexi region, and Ding Guodong revolted. In order to use the power of the Yarkand Khanate to resist the Qing Dynasty, the rebels established Tuluntai, the son of Babai Khan, as king. Babai Khan felt that this was to expand the Yarkand Khanate.
Taking advantage of the country's strength, he sent troops to support the rebels and once occupied Suzhou and Ganzhou.
Later, the uprising was suppressed by the Qing Dynasty, and Touluntai was killed. Emperor Shunzhi was angry with the Yarkand Khanate for supporting the rebels, sent troops to threaten, and cut off the Silk Road. Seeing that the matter was getting serious, Abdullah Khan recalled
He killed Babai Khan and sent an envoy to apologize to Emperor Shunzhi, saying, "This is all the nonsense of that kid Babai. I didn't know that Babai had been recalled and imprisoned. Please forgive me." Emperor Shunzhi
I was busy dealing with Nan Ming, so the matter was left unsolved.
Later, the king of Hami, Muhemmeti Xiaxiong, took over one side, and the Baishan faction became more and more powerful. Abdullah Khan was worried about Hami, so he sent his fifth brother Babai Khan back to serve as the governor of Hami.
).
Turpan Aqimu Aji Khan followed his brother Abdullah Khan in the north and south campaigns, and was also a veteran general. Seeing the fierceness of the Sengge, he did not go down the mountain to fight, but just held the mountain and defended it with the old Junggar army.<
/p>
"Kill!"
Gesu Le, a fierce general of the Junggar army, holding a big ax, led his army towards the Ten Thousand Buddhas Peak.
Cannonballs exploded around him, and Gesuler turned a blind eye. The soldiers were emboldened, and the morale of the Junggar army was greatly boosted, and they were getting closer and closer to the summit.
"Quick, fire!"
Masalang, the Yarkand general guarding the mountain, shouted.
Three hundred musketeers started firing volleys. Most of these muskets were earthen muskets with a short range, but they were commanding but powerful.
"Bah~bah~bah~"
The dull sound of the gun can kill people. Gesuler suddenly sank, his chest was shot through, and he fell to the ground.
Seeing the governor-general flag of Aji Khan on Mantou Peak, Hutaiji Sengge of the Junggar tribe was very disdainful. "Anyone who captures the flag by beheading him will be promoted to the third level," he said coldly.
With this order, the Junggar army rushed up the mountain bravely like chicken blood. The general Sanjikhe rushed at the front, braved arrows and stones, and once rushed to the top of the mountain to fight hand-to-hand with the Yarkand army.
"Good! In this battle, Sanjikhe should take the lead," Seng Ge praised.
"Aqimu, we can't hold this mountain anymore, I will escort you back to Turpan." Aji Khan stood under the banner, and his general Hu Bofeng stumbled over.
"I was ordered by the Great Khan to guard Turpan, but I fled when I encountered the enemy. How will I see the Great Khan in the future?"
Aji Khan became angry, glared at Huber Feng, and said sarcastically: "Remember when we followed the Great Khan to conquer the world, General Huber Feng would take the lead in every battle. Why, the tiger of Yerqiang turned into a lamb?"<
/p>
Intrigued by this, Hu Bofeng blushed, picked up his famous hammer gun, and led his bodyguard to kill the Junggar army who rushed up the mountain.
Just as Sanjikhe's spear stabbed one person to death, a weapon that looked like a hammer but not a hammer, and something like a gun but not a gun came crashing down on him. His spear flew away with just one hammer, and another spear pierced his throat.
Hubofeng cut off Sanjikhe's head and shouted: "Yaxia (Uyghur: Long live victory)!"
"Yaxia!"
"Yaxia!"
"Yaxia!"
On the top of the mountain, the Yarkand army was in jubilation, and the Junggar people retreated like a tide.
"Huntaiji, our army's momentum has been reduced. Let's attack the mountain again tomorrow." Generals Erqabok, Abaha and Mahan asked Sengge for orders.
"Get my gun!" young Huitaiji shouted.
They took out guns from the left and right. Sengge held the gun in his hand and looked around at the generals. He only said one sentence, "Look at where my gun is heading!"
After saying that, he led his bodyguards, braved the arrows and stones, and rushed up. He was very fast and rushed in front of the generals in a blink of an eye.
The generals were both excited and ashamed.
Erqabek yelled: "It would be a shame on our generation to let Huitai Ji personally risk the target!"
After saying that, he led his troops to cross Sengge's commanding flag and charge upwards. Generals Abaha and Mahan also fought with their lives.
The Flame Mountain is not high, only more than 500 meters. The Junggar soldiers were brave and worked hard, and they quickly reached the top of the mountain.
Holding a big hammer gun, Hubei Feng killed enemies one after another, but more and more enemies swarmed.
"Bang!"
An iron spear pierced Hubofeng's lower abdomen.
My body hurt, and several more scimitars came at me.
The dignified general died at the hands of the rebel army.
Seeing that defeat was certain, Aji Khan no longer fought to the death and led his remaining troops to retreat to Turpan City to wait for reinforcements.
"Haorui~Haorui~Haorui~" the Mongolians cheered one after another.
"Sengge Khan!"
"Sengge Khan!"
"Sengge Khan"??
The Junggar warriors spontaneously shouted "Sengge Khan". Although Sengge was not called Khan, in the hearts of the Junggar people, he was already the Great Khan of Mongolia, even though his surname was not Bor, but Choros.
Hearing the words "Sengge Khan", Chuhu'er Ubas, who was attacking the mountains in the Tuyugou area, couldn't help but be shocked, "This son is so popular and powerful. If time goes by, I will still be talking about my uncle in the tribe."
A share?"
During this expedition, he had the intention of preserving his strength and only made a few feint attacks. Unexpectedly, Sengge quickly captured Chishi Mountain.
"Taiji, what are you talking about?" Dural and Shuoqi, who were standing beside him, saw him muttering to himself and asked curiously.
"Oh, it's nothing. I mean that the Immortal God protects Junggar and gives us another heroic master!" Chuhu'er Ubas said with a smile.
