Chapter 1611 Galdan: Father Khan, Galdan swears that he will take revenge!
Qu Xianwei
As Baturhui was beheaded by Pang Shili, the Junggar troops were gradually defeated and exited the city along several city gates.
And Pang Shili led the army to take over Qu Xianwei.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that the killing cries among Qu Xianwei completely subsided.
Pang Shili sat behind a lacquered wooden table and accepted the general's report.
"Commander Pang, the remnants of the enemy in Quxian's acropolis have been eliminated." The deputy general said without saying much else.
Pang Shili pondered for a moment, looked fiercely, and said loudly: "Generals from all departments, take over the ordnance in the city, and report it to the warehouse. There must be no mistakes."
Jiang Zhuo answered from the side: "General, Junggar Khan Baturhui has been crowned, but most of the Junggar troops are still there. After this battle, they will inevitably flee to the desert and continue to fight against our army."
Pang Shili said in a deep voice: "If we take advantage of the situation and march into the Western Regions, we may be able to regain the old land of the Han and Tang Dynasties."
Jiang Zhuo nodded.
Pang Shili said: "Experience the Department and write a military report to the court and deliver it to Shenjing."
At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like a civil servant responded, then picked up a brush and started writing.
Pang Shili said: "General Jiang Shen, most of Junggar's troops and horses are still at Anding Guard. When the army takes a break, I will personally lead 20,000 cavalry to pursue them. General Jiang Shen will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison here."
Jiang Zhuo looked solemn and said: "General Pang, don't worry. I will definitely do my duty diligently and guard the Quxian Guard City in case of any danger."
Pang Shili nodded and said: "In this battle, we will use the prepared road to defeat the Junggar tribe, and Jiang Shen will take the lead!"
Jiang Zhuo quickly raised his hands and said, "I will not dare."
Pang Shili didn't say much else, and ordered the generals to count the casualties, rescue the wounded and disabled generals, and re-strengthen the city defense.
In the early morning of the next day, Pang Shili led 20,000 cavalry troops and headed east towards the Anding Guard, intending to attack most of the elite troops of the Junggar tribe from both front and rear.
Anding Guard, three days after Quxian Guard City was destroyed——
Galdan led the main force of the Junggar tribe to besiege the Anding Acropolis. Unknown to him, the Qu Xianwei in the rear had been defeated by the Han army, and his father Baturhui also died in the battle.
At this moment, seven or eight miles in front of the Anding Acropolis, behind the grassy hills, tents can be seen blooming like white clouds on the grassland.
Galdan was sitting in a white tent at the moment, drinking highland barley wine.
Although the army suffered a setback in front of the Anding Guard, Galdan had already attacked the Quxian and Atuan guards and tightly controlled the Han army in the Anding Guard. Galdan's anxiety was relieved a lot.
At this time, General Altay said: "Taiji, the Han army has a lot of troops in Anding, and the resistance is quite strong. It will be very difficult for our army to defeat them."
The Anding Guard serves as the flank of the Chijin Mongolian Guard. The Han army also stationed more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard the acropolis. After several offensive and defensive battles, a lot of losses were incurred.
Galdan pondered for a moment and said loudly: "The army will attack the city tomorrow and attack again. If there is no result, we will continue to harass the Han army's food routes."
Altay nodded.
At this moment, a guard outside showed panic on his face, entered the military tent, and said: "Taiji, something serious is going to happen."
Altay frowned, stared at the guard, and said, "What's wrong? Why are you so worried?"
The guard was covered in sweat and said anxiously: "Just now, the guard beside Taiji delivered the news that Qu Xianwei was defeated by the Han army and the Khan was beheaded by the Han general."
After escaping from the Acropolis, the soldiers of the Junggar tribe in the Quxian Guard kept sending messages to Galdan in the Anding Guard.
As soon as these words came out, a biting cold wind suddenly blew through the military tent, making Galdan, Altay and others shiver.
Galdan felt great sadness in his heart and said: "Father Khan..."
Altay's majestic face also had a slight dullness.
Because Baturhui, who had always stood firm and invincible in the entire Tianshan grassland, like the sun, fell unexpectedly. It can be said that for Altay, there is no doubt that the sky is falling and the earth is falling.
Galdan was crying bitterly at this moment, and his broad and resolute face was full of sadness.
Under Altay's thick eyebrows, his tiger-like eyes were slightly red, and they also shed a few tears.
The military tent also fell into a gloomy atmosphere.
After a while, Galdan recovered his emotions and said loudly: "The whole army is in full swing, attack the Anding Guards fiercely, and avenge our father Khan!"
"revenge!"
At this moment, the Junggar generals in the military tent shouted in unison.
Altay was shocked at this moment. He suppressed his sadness and came to Galdan. He said in a deep voice: "Taiji, Khan's side has fallen. Most of the Han army's elite cavalry are already on the road. They want to fight with the Anding Guards." The defenders attacked us."
"Will Father Khan's revenge not be avenged?" Galdan's eyes were red at the moment, like a wounded lion, and he roared.
Altay said earnestly: "Taiji, you can't do anything. You must not fight forcefully. Let's wait until we return to Tianshan to organize the army and avenge the Khan."
When Galdan heard this, his expression changed, he held his head in his hands and roared angrily.
Because I have to say that what Altay said is reasonable. If he continues to fight with the Han army, he will attack from both sides and even risk the entire army being annihilated.
"Father, Galdan swears that he will avenge this!" Galdan said angrily, his facial features almost distorted.
But mourning was already everywhere in the military tent, and cries of pain could be heard in the military tent.
Galdan finally adopted Altay's opinion and did not continue to fight the Han army under the Anding Guard. Instead, he led the cavalry to withdraw from the Anding Guard to retain some of his strength.

…
On this side, let’s not talk about how Pang Shili of Qu Xianwei in the northwest dealt with the aftermath, but let’s talk about the other side, right after Chengdu Fucheng was attacked by Jia Yun.
On the Jinniu Road from Jiameng Pass to Jianmen Pass, Xie Zaiyi, the third-ranking Liao Duke of the Han Dynasty, led his army towards Jianmen Pass in a hurry.
In the bleak cool breeze of autumn, the vegetation on the mountain paths on both sides has turned yellow and withered.
Under the banner of the Chinese army, a maroon horse was leading the way, and on the left and right were the generals and retinues of the Beijing camp.
The third-class Liao Duke of Han Dynasty had a majestic and solemn expression on his broad-faced face.
Behind you can be seen the banners covering the sky and the sun, the spears like a forest, and a large number of Beijing camp generals galloping on their horses, whips raised and galloping.
Under Xie Zaiyi's thick green eyebrows, there was a bit of ferocity like a tiger or a wolf in his eyes.
"Liao Guogong, we will reach Guancheng in another fifty miles." At that time, a burly young scout ran over quickly and said loudly to Xie Zaiyi.
Xie Zaiyi's tiger eyes flashed aggressively, as if shooting out a brilliant light, and said in a deep voice: "Generals, listen to the order and set up camp ten miles away from Guancheng. There must be no mistakes!"
The guards and generals beside him all agreed in unison at this moment.
The Beijing army behind them gradually approached Jianmen Pass, set up camp under Jianmen Pass, prepared siege equipment, and planned to attack the city.
Gao Cheng, Chen Yuan, Chen Ran and others within the city wall also received reports from their soldiers, and the Han army attacked the city.
Gao Cheng and Chen Yuan came to the top of the city and looked at the Han army attacking the city in the distance, feeling very nervous.
The current composition of the Jianmen Pass soldiers is mainly composed of the Shu army, about 30,000 to 40,000 people. In addition, there are more than 20,000 generals from the twelve chieftain families in Sichuan, totaling nearly 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers and horses. The force can be said to be sufficient.
Incomparable.
Compared with Jiameng Pass, Jianmen Pass, which is the main pass of Jinniu, is undoubtedly more dangerous and is often called "the most dangerous pass in the world".
Even during the Three Kingdoms period, the Wei army could not overcome the natural dangers. If Deng Ai had not taken the Yinping Trail, it was still a matter of doubt whether Shu would have been destroyed by Wei.
In other words, this pass is more dangerous and majestic than Jiameng Pass.
Looking at the battle against Shu in the capital camp, because the Shu territory was too dangerous and there was only one Golden Bull Road to advance troops, the war between Han and Shu was lackluster. There were not many changes in strategies, and most of them were about attacking cities and demolishing strongholds.
This is also the characteristic of most wars in ancient China.
At this moment, Xie Zaiyi led his army to approach the pass, with flags fluttering in the wind, and the aura of swordsmanship that filled the air made the birds in the forest fly away in fright.
The bottom floor of Jianmen Pass is built with strips of bluestone, which eliminates the possibility of digging tunnels to bury explosives. The base of the pass is about 50 meters wide, with mountains on both sides. Looking from the bottom up, there is only a sliver of sky.
Gao Cheng, Chen Yuan, Chen Ran and others stood on top of Guancheng and also looked at Xie Zaiyi's troops.
"With the strength of the Beijing camp, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky to break through Jianmen Pass!" Gao Cheng said with stern eyes and a firm tone.
The military strength of both sides was almost the same, but the Shu army relied on the majestic and steep pass, which was enough to resist the troops and horses of the imperial camp.
Chen Yuan said: "Brother Gao, I just paid attention to Guancheng. No matter how many Hongyi cannons the imperial court used this time, they couldn't blow up the city."
Even Chen Yuan wanted to say that he should not have resisted the Han troops in the capital at Jiameng Pass, but should have directly blocked the imperial troops in the capital at Jianmen Pass.
However, I knew that this was not in line with the military strategy, because the strategic depth was too narrow and would only put the Shu army into a more unfavorable situation. Instead, it was not as sluggish as before and consumed the Han army in the capital.
Gao Cheng raised his sword eyebrows, his eyes were bright, and he said loudly: "This is the opportunity for our Shu army to turn defeat into victory and defeat the imperial court!"
Chen Yuandao: "What Brother Gao said is true. The imperial soldiers and horses have been trapped in Jiameng Pass for more than a month, and their vigor has lost 80%. If Jiameng Pass had not been destroyed by imperial explosives, our army would have been able to counterattack at Jiameng Pass. Now
With the danger of Jianmen Pass, we will definitely be able to restrain the imperial troops."
Gao Bo whispered: "The imperial court's troops and horses are attacking the city."
"Dong dong..."
With the sound of war drums, people's blood boils and it is deafening.
The Han troops from the Beijing camp arrived at Guancheng, and the red-coated cannons kept bombarding Jianmen Pass. Amidst endless smoke billowing, the shells fell on the gate tower of Jianmen Pass.
With the sound of "click", the roof tiles and beams of Guancheng's gate tower vibrated up and down, and dust could be seen flying everywhere.
The generals and soldiers of the Han army were holding weapons and climbing up a wooden ladder towards the city wall.
At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the Shu army were holding crossbows and shooting at the soldiers of the imperial camp below. Rolling logs and rocks fell from above and hit the soldiers of the capital camp hard.
The siege battle lasted from noon to evening, and the Han army made no progress.

Shenjing City, Ningguo Mansion
Jia Heng quickly left the study and came to the eldest princess's house in Jinyang. While talking, he planned to visit Princess Xianning.
The eldest princess of Jinyang is teaching her son Jia Jie to write. The little boy is four or five years old and has reached the age to learn to write.
Jia Jie inherited the handsome appearance of his parents, with pink and jade-like faces and very lively eyebrows.
The eldest princess of Jinyang stretched out her hand and pinched the little guy's cheek. She couldn't help but feel doting on her. She smiled and said, "Look, what you wrote is like a dog crawling."
"Where is that?" The little guy's eyes turned like black grapes, and his voice was cute and soft, and he said.
Then the little guy raised his little head and said in a waxy voice: "Mom, why haven't you seen daddy these two days?"
Under the slender willow eyebrows of the eldest princess of Jinyang, her beautiful eyes seemed to be as bright as water, and she said: "That heartless father of yours may be accompanying one of your younger brothers and sisters."
Jia Jie looked a little surprised and said, "Why do you have so many children?"
Princess Jinyang's delicate and straight nose couldn't help but snort and said: "Next time, you can ask him why there are so many children."
In the future, I'm afraid it will be possible to form a complete private school.
"Yeah." Jia Jie responded softly.
The snow-skinned and jade-faced face of the eldest princess of Jinyang was as red as drunkenness. Under the green eyebrows, there seemed to be a hint of surprise in the shining eyes.
But at this moment, Lianxue's voice was heard from outside, saying: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, King Wei is here."
The eldest princess of Jinyang, with her face as red as drunkenness and her bright eyes as bright as water, snorted and said angrily: "It's really easy to talk about it."
After a while, he saw the young man in python suit coming from outside, with a handsome and fair face and a warm smile.
"Jinyang, I'm talking to Jie'er." Jia Heng walked closer, his face paused slightly, and he whispered.
The eldest princess of Jinyang snorted, her eyes flashed fiercely, and said: "I am teaching your son to write. Take a look at what the writing looks like."
Jia Heng said: "The child is still young, it would be better if he were older."
As he said that, he came closer and pinched his son's plump face. Under his sharp eyebrows, a warm smile appeared in his eyes.
Under the emerald willow eyebrows of the eldest princess of Jinyang, her charming and flowing eyes were as bright as water. She whispered: "Why do you have so much free time today? Come and see me and Jie'er?"
Jia Heng said loudly: "It's time to take a look at you two."
The eldest princess of Jinyang snorted softly and said coquettishly: "It's hard for you to still remember us two."
"How are you doing in Xianning?" Jia Heng approached, hugged his son, and asked.
Princess Jinyang: "..."
Hezhu came to see Xianning. Is it a coincidence that she and Jie'er have something to do?
However, seeing Jia Heng holding her son lovingly and lovingly, the little resentment in the heart of the eldest princess of Jinyang also dissipated a lot.
The eldest princess of Jinyang, Cuili, slender eyebrows as curved as a crescent moon, asked: "How is the situation in Beijing recently?"
Jia Heng said: "There is no good news about the war in Sichuan yet, but it's almost there."
The eldest princess of Jinyang asked: "How is Beijing doing these days?"
Jia Heng took his son's soft little hand, wrote on the rice paper, and said in a low voice: "The political situation in Beijing is stable. In a few days, Enke will be opened, and the imperial court will open Encore to recruit scholars."
Princess Jinyang said: "That's fine."
"Dad, have you been spending time with your other brothers and sisters these days?" Jia Jie suddenly said.
Jia Heng: "???"
After being stunned for a moment, he finally came to his senses, looked at the eldest princess of Jinyang, and asked, "It's you and the child talking nonsense again."
Under the slender eyebrows of the eldest princess of Jinyang, her charming and flowing eyes were as bright as water, and her voice was a little delicate, and she said: "How can you be talking nonsense?"
Jia Heng hugged Jia Jie and said, "Jie'er, dad is busy outside these days. Do you want to see your sister?"
Speaking of which, Jia Jie has not met Jia Fu and Jia Mo yet, so we need to let a few sisters get to know them.
Jia Jie's voice was soft and cute, and he said, "I think so."
Jia Heng smiled and said warmly: "Jie'er, I'll see you when I take you there next time."
Jia Jie responded with a "hmm", and there was a hint of softness and cuteness in his voice.
Jia Heng said loudly: "Jie'er, daddy will teach you how to write."
As he spoke, he held Jia Jie's right hand and traced the red shadow calligraphy on the rice paper. It can be seen that the handwriting on it is clear.
Jia Heng hugged Jia Jie and practiced calligraphy gently.
At this moment, the sound of jingling rings came from outside, and then a voice as cold as water sounded: "Sir, you are here."
But when I saw Princess Xianning, she was dressed in a sky blue dress, with a delicate bun and a beautiful face. Her face, which was as white as jade, seemed to be covered with a faint layer of rose red. She was holding a boy in her arms, who was Jia Heng's. Written by his son Jia.
Song Yan and Li Chanyue on the side were following Princess Xianning, their faces as white as jade also covered with faint smiles.
Jia Heng's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were smiling, and he whispered: "Well, come and see you two, Chan Yue and Yan'er are also here."
"Mr. Xiao Jia." Under Li Chanyue's slender and green eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and her heart was full of longing.
Under Song Yan's green eyebrows, her bright eyes stared blankly at the young man in the python suit.
The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled and stretched out her hand to greet: "Come here and sit down."
Princess Xianning, Song Yan and Li Chanyue came together and sat down close by.
Jia Heng put down his son Jia Jie, came closer, looked at the infant Jia Zhu, and said softly: "He seems to have grown up a bit."
At this moment, the baby was rolling his eyes and looking at the boy in the python suit, his pink and jade face was about to smile.
Princess Xianning's face was full of maternal love and joy, and she said: "In a few days, the Hundred Days Banquet will be held. When your husband is free, you can talk to him."
Several people were talking.
At this moment, Lianxue entered the hall and said to Jia Heng: "Your Majesty, Jinyi Mansion sent someone, saying that they have something urgent to report."
When Jia Heng heard this, he looked surprised for a moment, and then looked at Princess Jinyang.
The eldest princess of Jinyang gently reached out and pinched her son's pink cheeks, and said: "Wait a moment, you go and get busy first."
Jia Heng nodded, and immediately stood up and left the hall, heading outside.
At this moment, in the hall——
Jia Heng stepped into the hall, looked at the imperial guard wearing flying fish uniforms with warm eyes, and said loudly: "What do you want to say?"
The guard of the Jinyi Mansion came very close, clasped his fists and said: "Captain, there is a message from the northwest. Pang Shi, the commander-in-chief of Xining, has set up a formation to kill Junggar Khan Baturhui and recapture Qu Xianwei. The detailed military report is six hundred miles away. Expedited, delivered to Beijing.”
When Jia Heng heard this, he looked a little surprised and said, "Baturhui is dead?"
Pang Shili actually killed Baturhui in formation. His death meant that the banditry in the northwest was completely over.
Then the new Khan of Junggar should be succeeded by Galdan. This man was a big trouble during the Kangxi Dynasty, so it is obvious that he is another dominant figure.
However, when Baturhui was around, the big men were not afraid, let alone Galdan.
"Is there any movement on the Bashu side?" Jia Heng calmed down, turned to look at the Jinyi palace guard, and asked again.
The Jinyi Mansion guard said: "Captain, there have been no new flying pigeons from Bashu."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, with a thoughtful look on his face.
