The people of the Kazakh Khanate naturally knew that they could not let the trebuchets wreak havoc.
A group of Kazakh Khanate soldiers came out of the city from the south gate and roared toward the trebuchets.
Cao Bianjiao smiled slightly.
The Ming army had already taken precautions against this, so six rows of firecrackers were deployed on both sides.
When the Kazakh Khanate soldiers rushed more than 200 steps in front of the Ming army, three rows of Ming soldiers opened fire at the same time, and then retreated.
The other three rows continued to fire, and gunpowder smoke filled the battlefield.
After the smoke cleared, most of the rushing Kazakh Khanate soldiers fell to the ground.
The ownerless horses were running around, and the horses that fell on the ground were screaming feebly.
Although the soldiers of the Kazakh Khanate wear armor, bullets hitting parts without armor can still cause damage, and even if they hit the armor, they can still cause certain damage.
After hitting the horse, the horse threw the knight down and was stepped on by the cavalry behind.
This was worse than being hit by a bullet.
At this time, the Ming army had loaded the gunpowder again, because the distance was closer.
After the firecrackers fired, the Kazakh Khanate soldiers who continued to charge fell off their horses with the sound.
After the Ming army in the front row opened fire, they no longer loaded their ammunition.
Instead, they held their bayonets facing the front to prevent any fish from slipping through the net and rushing into the formation.
No Kazakh Khanate soldiers dared to charge into the formation anymore.
The soldiers who were lucky enough to be uninjured quickly retreated and stopped after retreating a mile away.
At this time, the Ming army had already begun to clean up the battlefield, pulling back the intact horses, and giving the groaning Kazakhs and horses a good blow with their bayonets.
Cao Bianjiao looked at the dozens of war horses he had brought back and said with a smile: "This can at least offset the ammunition cost."
War horses are extremely important on the grassland.
The Ming army's troops on the grassland have especially strengthened their riding skills training, because on the grassland Mobility is almost everything.
Although the Ming army has sharp firearms, if you can't catch up with them, you can only look back and sigh, saying nothing.
Seeing that the Ming army here had neatly eliminated the Kazakhs leaving the city, Batur ordered the Junggars to step up their attack on the city.
Soon, the trebuchets began to appear damaged, but the city wall at the east gate was already in danger.
Seeing that the troops on the flanks had been destroyed, the Kazakhs began to think of retreating.
This was the city of the Junggars anyway, but Batur had already thought of this.
A part of the Ming army was lurking in the woods outside the west gate, waiting.
The Kazakhs were intercepted and killed as they escaped.
The leader of the Kazakhs in the city is Alam, the nephew of the king of the Kazakh Khanate.
He relied on his uncle's favor to gild the place.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he did not have the determination to defend the territory to the end, so he led his men to escape from the west gate.
When Batur saw that there was no movement from the Kazakhs at the east gate, he stopped the trebuchet attack.
The Junggar soldiers quickly climbed up to the top of the city along the stones outside the city wall, opened the city gate, and the Junggar people quickly rushed into the city. go.
Alam and his men had just left the west gate and walked onto the road to Tekeli, when they saw several big trees falling down in front of them, blocking the road.
The Kazakhs were eager to escape, so they moved the big tree away.
At this time, the sound of firecrackers sounded intensively, and the Kazakhs fell down.
Alam was shocked.
It was impossible to return to Hot Spring City.
The Junggar people would definitely come in immediately after he abandoned the city.
But now there is only one way back to Tiekeli.
If these big trees are not moved away, they will We can only die here together.
The Kazakhs continued to rush up to move the trees.
The Ming army waited for their work and kept firing, knocking the Kazakhs down next to the big tree.
After the Kazakhs had dozens of casualties, one of the four trees was moved away.
At this time, the Junggar people had already passed through the small hot spring city and pursued them from the west gate.

There were trees blocking the road in front of the Kazakhs, and the Junggar army behind them.
They were in chaos for a while.
Alamu sighed, jumped off his horse, knelt on the ground and surrendered.
When Batur saw the densely packed Kazakhs kneeling in front of him, he felt that the depression of being suppressed and beaten by the Kazakhs was swept away.
He ordered people to take the Kazakhs into custody, and then returned to the hot spring city to discuss their next move.
In this battle, more than 300 Kazakhs were killed and more than 1,600 prisoners were taken.
However, both the Ming army and the Junggar people suffered zero casualties.
Batur has never encountered such a disparity in battle loss ratio in a war, and the weapons of the Ming army made him feel that cooperation with the Ming army was really wise.
Batur summoned the leaders of the Junggar tribe and held a small meeting with the generals of the Ming army.
Batur said: "The Hot Spring City has been captured, and half of the occupied territory in Junggar has been captured.
Our army's next target is Tekeli.
Tekeli was originally a Kazakh city, so after it was captured, it belonged to the Ming Army. all."
Some Junggar leaders were actually unwilling to give Tekeli to the Ming army, but Batur had spoken first, and the Ming army's combat effectiveness was indeed fierce.
Although it had not shown any characteristics in siege, the firearms were very effective in the face of a charge.
The power is really amazing.
The key point is that the fire gun is a long-range attack, so that the Ming army's own losses can be minimized.
They thought in their minds that if the Ming army dealt with the Dzungars, the final result would not be much different.
Cao Bianjiao said carelessly: "Taiji is indeed a gentleman.
But now that we occupy Tekeli and even the territory of other Kazakh Khanates, we need Taiji to help us temporarily manage it.
I, the Ming Dynasty, have no way to dispatch people to carry out actual operations here. manage."
Batur was overjoyed.
It was a good thing to be able to occupy part of the territory first, even if it was not his territory in name.
The Ming Dynasty is indeed too far away from here, and it is indeed difficult to allocate people to manage it.
So during the rule of the Junggar people, these places can be made more inclined to the Junggar people.
When the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, I am afraid that these places will only belong to the Ming Dynasty in name only.
Cao Bianjiao had no choice.
It would take time to transfer people from China to manage it, so he had no choice but to hand over the territory to the Junggar people for management first.
When he came, Lu Xiangsheng said that as long as it was Ming Dynasty's territory in name, it didn't matter who actually occupied it.
Of course, Cao Bianjiao disagreed with Lu Xiangsheng's statement, but he didn't understand that Lu Xiangsheng was eager for the Junggar people to occupy territory that did not belong to them, so that they could have an excuse to deal with them in the future, and finally turn the Junggar tribe into a tribe directly ruled by the Ming Dynasty, instead of This current state of restraint.
So everyone discussed and decided to take a brief rest in the hot spring city, and then the army continued westward, first occupying the original territory of Junggar, and then attacking Tekli, the important town of the Kazakh Khanate, and opening the way to Alam, the capital of the Kazakh Khanate.
