The Junggar army's offensive was extremely fierce. After capturing Chishi Mountain, they also captured Que'er City to the north of Turpan, and Tuosun and Suba Mountains to the west. However, they left Huozhou to the east of Turpan and Huozhou to the southeast.
Liucheng will not be attacked.
Huozhou and Liucheng are located on the main road connecting Hami and Turpan. If these two cities are not captured, the connection between Turpan and the outside world will be cut off.
All the generals asked for battle one after another and wanted to capture the two cities, but Sengge refused and just kept pretending to attack Turpan City.
In the city of Turpan, Aji Khan sighed and said to his general Masalang: "Although this monk is a fierce general, he is brave and foolhardy. He does not cut off Turpan's connection with the outside world and only knows how to attack the city blindly. How can this be captured?
?"
"I think it was because after Sengge's victory, he was arrogant and thought he could easily defeat the city, so he didn't divide his troops to attack Huozhou and Liucheng."
"The enemy's arrogance is a blessing to our army! As long as our army holds on for another half month, Hami's reinforcements will surely arrive," Aji Khan smiled.

In early December, it was already very cold in Hami.
In the palace of Ulebals, Muhemmetisha, Yusufu, Idayatul (Apak Hezhuo), Ebedulla and other backbones of the Baishan sect gathered together, and a conspiracy was brewing.
The dispute between the White Mountain faction and the Black Mountain faction in the Yarkand Khanate is ultimately a battle between two major ethnic groups. Most of the supporters of the White Mountain faction are Kazakhs, while most of the supporters of the Black Mountain faction are Kyrgyz.
Unlike the Uzbeks and Tajiks, the Kazakhs and Kyrgyz look similar to the Han people. Through a long period of ethnic integration, all the ethnic groups in Central Asia are actually mixed ethnic groups, with ancestry from East Asia, North Asia, South Asia, West Asia, and Europe.
Both. Kazakhs and Kyrgyz look like Han people, mainly from East Asia, with more North Asian ancestry from these two groups. Seeing that the two groups look alike, the Rakshasa people simply refer to Kazakhs and Kyrgyz as "Kyrgyz"
People.
However, there are still differences. The Kyrgyz are a very ancient nation with a much longer history than the Kazakhs. Their race is a mixture of Mongoloid and Europa races, and their language belongs to the Altaic language family; the Kazakhs are mainly Wusun and Kangju.
, the descendants of the Alans, Serbs, Da Yuezhi and other East Asian and North Asian ethnic groups are fused together, and their language belongs to the Noga language family. Among the ethnic groups in Central Asia, the Kazakhs are the most similar to the Han people, followed by the Kyrgyz people.<
/p>
For a long time, the Black Mountain sect, which is dominated by Kyrgyz people, has controlled the affairs of the Yarkand state, so the Yarkand Khanate was once called the Kyrgyz Khanate. After Abdullah Khan came to power, he severely suppressed the White Mountain sect, forcing a large number of White Mountain sect members to
They left Kashgar, the headquarters of the sect, and fled to Hami. Among them was Prince Ulibals.
"Prince, the troops of Eqirtu Khan and Sengge Hutaiji have already been dispatched. Shouldn't you also fulfill your promise and send troops?"
The speaker was Taiji Dorji from the Heshuo Special Department.
At that time, Dorji was defeated and fled to Hami, with only a few soldiers. Ulebals once wanted to offer his head to the Ming Dynasty. However, Hu Zhigong, the governor of Qinghai and Tibet in the Ming Dynasty, was very cunning and made a lot of verbal promises such as official appointments and wishes.
But when it came to asking the Ming army to send troops, provide firearms, armor, food and wages, and jointly deal with the Junggar tribe, there was no news.
Disappointed, Ulebals decided to continue to rely on his old friends and the Heshuote people. A few months ago, the wily Heshuote tribe’s Oziltu Khan married his granddaughter Anu to Hutaiji Sengge of the Junggar tribe.
Heshuote and the Junggar tribe are as close as one family, and now they have jointly sent troops to expel their father Khan Abdullah and made themselves Khan. Under such a background, Ulibals became more and more afraid to offend Dorji.
Be your guest.
Seeing Dorji urging him to send troops, Ulibars explained with a smile: "Don't be impatient, Dorji. There is also my fifth uncle Babai Khan in Hami city. If you don't control this person, it will be difficult to control the military power of Hami.
Coordinate with the Great Khan and Sengge Hutaiji".
"Oh, how does the prince plan to take action?" Dorzi asked.
"Attack him when he is unaware," Ulebars smiled.
"No," Dorji thought for a while and said, "I heard that Babai Khan is a veteran general. He must be meticulous in setting up camp and defending, and a sneak attack may not be successful. It is better to use the excuse of discussing sending troops to rescue Turpan to lure him to the palace openly and capture him.
"Easy to the ear".
??
Hami Azim (governor) Babai Khan was the fifth brother of Abdullah Khan. He had a hot temper and was prone to impulsiveness. It was he who saw the Milayin outbreak in Hexi and the Ding Guodong uprising, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
He won votes and captured Suzhou and Ganzhou. As a result, he was defeated, had no meat to eat, and got into trouble.
Seeing that Urebals invited him to go to the palace to discuss the rescue of Turpan, Babai Khan didn't think much and started to go to the palace. As soon as he reached the door, he met his generals Ullu and Ji.
"Aqimu, where do you want to go?" Uluru Heji asked curiously.
"Go to the palace, my nephew wants to discuss saving Turpan with me," Babai Khan said carelessly.
Uluru Heji was shocked: "Aqimu, His Royal Highness is too close to those rebellious Baishan sect, you must be on guard!"
Babai Khan frowned, "He is my nephew, could he harm me? Besides, the military situation is urgent. What should I do if I don't go to the palace and delay the military situation?"
"You can go, please let me guard you."
Uluru and Ji ordered a thousand soldiers and horses, covered in armor, to escort Babai Khan to the palace.
Seeing that Babai Khan was prepared, Ulibars did not dare to take action and said anxiously: "Fifth uncle, second uncle has written a letter saying that Turpan is in danger. What should we do?"
"Humph, although the Junggar people are strong, I, the Yarkand people, are not vegetarians. Tomorrow I will lead troops to rescue Turpan," Babai Khan said nonchalantly.
"How magnificent! The fifth uncle is indeed a brave general of Yerqiang!"
Ulebals was full of praise, "The food and grass are ready. Please arrange for the soldiers to rest early after the fifth uncle returns to the camp. Tomorrow, my nephew and the fifth uncle will go to rescue Turpan together."
??
There are about 10,000 soldiers and horses in Hami in total, and Babai Khan and Yulbars each have 5,000 soldiers. In addition, Hami's king Muhammetisha also has thousands of native soldiers.

It was getting dark, so Babai Khan ordered the soldiers to rest early and prepare to set off tomorrow.
He inspected the military camp and saw that except for the sentries, most of the soldiers were sleeping, except for one battalion of a thousand soldiers, who were waiting for danger.
When he took a look, he saw that he was a subordinate of Wu Lu Heji.
"Why don't you let your sons and daughters take off their armor and clothes to sleep?"
"Aqimu, the war is about to begin, the general will not dare to be careless," Uluru Heji said.
"Absurd, it is precisely because the war is imminent that we need to keep our spirits high! Take off your armor and go to bed immediately. This is a military order," Babai Khan said angrily.
Uluru Heji had no choice but to order his subordinates to remove their armor.
It's late at night, and many conspiracies are carried out at night.
The armies of Ulibals and Muhammetisha secretly surrounded Babai Khan's military camp. At the same time, Yusuf and Idayatul also controlled the city defense of Hami. Entry and no exit were allowed in the entire Hami. p>
Seeing that the military camp was unprepared and there were a few sentries sparsely standing at the entrance of the camp, Ulebars was overjoyed and "attack". He gave the military order, his handsome face as straight as a sculpture.
"Kill~kill~kill~"
The Bashan faction's troops broke into the Heishan faction's military camp, killing everyone on sight and setting fire everywhere.
Tonight, Uluru and Ji always felt uneasy. When they heard the shouts of killing, they hurriedly rushed out in armor. Seeing the fire everywhere, they knew something was wrong, "This must be the Baishan sect's rebellion!"
He stamped his feet and ran towards the central army, intending to escort Babai Khan to evacuate.
"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~"
Random arrows were fired, and Ullu Heji fell into a pool of blood.
In the Chinese army camp, Babai Khan held a big sword and resisted desperately. There were more and more enemies, but he became more and more courageous as he fought.
"Fifth Uncle, please surrender. Why do we Yarkand people kill each other? As long as you are willing to wear a white hat, you will still be the Azim of Hami." Yule Bals appeared in front of him and asked gently. "Bah, you are such a scoundrel, you have really brought shame on our family," Babai Khan said angrily.
The clan of the Yeerqiang Khanate is a descendant of the Chagatai royal family. Although their beliefs are different from those of other Mongolian nobles, and most of their subjects are Uyghurs, they still have the surname Bor Jin, and are truly a golden family.
Seeing his uncle scolding him for disgracing his ancestors, Ulebars became extremely angry, his pink face turned red, and he roared: "Stop, how can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan!"
"Little beast", Babai Khan continued to curse.
"Since the fifth uncle refuses to surrender, it's no wonder that my nephew is the one to blame." Ulebars looked around with murderous intent and said, "Shoot him to death!"
All the guards fired arrows together, and the arrows were like flying lights. Babai Khan was shot into a hedgehog and fell to the ground.
