Chapter 740 was released, and the Battle of Lanzhou began.In the eyes of the Dzungar people, there seems to be no suspense in this battle, the total strength of the Dzungar people is 150,000 horses, of course, 150,000 people are Han slaves who include many unarmed people, but in any case, their strength is more than ten times that of the whole army.The defenders of the whole family army in Lanzhou City actually included more than 3,000 Qin troops, more than 1,500 soldiers of the Pingliang Weiming Army, more than 4,000 people temporarily conscripted, and the total strength of the garrison in Lanzhou was nearly 8,500 people, more than half of which were made up, even if more than 1,800 men and horses of the 282nd Regiment who came to help were added, it was only a dozen of the people and horses of Junggar.The Dzungar people did not take the more than 1,800 men and horses of the 282nd Regiment in their eyes, they did not even test, they directly sounded the horn of attack, and countless light cavalry rolled up the wind and sand, bypassing the soft sand and rushing towards the whole army, shooting sharp arrows that almost obscured the sky.The 282nd Regiment had no intention of hedging with the Junggar cavalry, they were originally infantry on horseback, they all dismounted and fought on foot, laying out a phalanx of hollow infantry, and a thousand bolt-action rifles fired at the same time, and the bullets were crossed, passing through the rain of arrows, and suddenly screaming loudly.The Dzungar light cavalry circled around the not too large hollow infantry phalanx, and the rain of arrows fired washed in vain over the impregnable infantry phalanx of the entire family army, and the effect was ......
They simply can't get into the effective range of fire, and it may be an exaggeration to say that the bolt-action riflemen of the whole army are going to pass through Yang in a hundred steps, but it is definitely not a problem to say that they can shoot a person or a horse within a hundred paces.Waves of arrows and arrows rained down on the sand, planting dense leafless reeds on the sand, and a dense rain of bullets came from the opposite side, and the charging Dzungar cavalry rolled off their saddles in piles, and then they were rolled into pulp by the rolling iron horses.These seemingly weak infantry phalanxes are like huge meat rollers, no matter how many light cavalry rush over, they will be crushed into pulp!
The 282nd Regiment actually has an easy machine, but the heavy machine guns and mortars are not equipped, because Qin Chuan's equipment is too poor, and it is too late to equip the soldiers of the Qin army with bolt-action rifles, a large number of new 15th Division, two-thirds of the soldiers are not equipped with bolt-action rifles produced in Liaodong, but rifled muskets produced by the Hetao Gun and Artillery Bureau.The rear-loading rifled rifles produced by the Hetao Gun Bureau had a firing range of up to 150 paces, about 120 paces, and after repeated charges, tens of thousands of Junggar cavalry, after paying four or five hundred thousand casualties, finally saw the strength of the whole army, and they hurriedly let the light cavalry retreat.Tens of thousands of heavy cavalry roared out with spears, crashing into the infantry phalanx of the whole family army.They were also greeted by a rain of bullets fired like a wind, and this time the 282nd Regiment no longer had a trail of hands, and even light machine guns and heavy machine guns were used, and the bullets swept like flying sand, sweeping down these heavy cavalry in piles.When they finally approached the infantry phalanx and were about to collide, the sizzling and smoking grenades smashed into their heads, forming an insurmountable line of death between steel and fire, and the Dzungar cavalry that crashed into this line of death flew with flesh and blood.At that moment, the Dzungar tribe's Taijidrot Babatur threw off his helmet, grabbed his hair, and screamed wildly.He couldn't accept that his troops were beaten so badly by a few thousand Han people, and he couldn't accept the cruel reality that he had a huge advantage of more than ten times the number of troops but couldn't move less than 2,000 infantry!
But the reality is that it is not acceptable.The Dzungar people were unceremoniously beaten back by Xin Gufeng's subordinates several times in a row, and each time the losses were heavier than the other, looking at the infantry phalanx that stood still in the sea of corpses and blood, the Dzungar people, who had always regarded themselves as the sons of the steppe eagles, were pale and frightened.Zhuot Babatur had to order a retreat, losing tens of thousands of horses and horses, gnawing at a mere 2,000 Han troops, and still a fart?
The Dzungars began to retreat, Xin Gufeng also had a headache, he had no way to pursue, the bullets he carried when he came lightly were not multiplied, he was actually a strong outsider, if the Dzungars continued to attack, then they could only rely on bayonets to fight hard, it is undeniable that the soldiers of the whole family were well-trained, but no matter how well trained, less than 2,000 people could not defeat more than 100,000 Dzungars.However, at the most critical time, reinforcements from the whole family army arrived, and after Quan Xu and Chongzhen reached a reconciliation, Luo Shiming also carried out all the mobilization in the Hetao Chamber.In the 1,587 towns of the Hetao Council, about 158,700 militiamen quickly moved into action, some of which acted as transport team members to deliver equipment and supplies to the newly formed 15th Division.At the same time, another part of the 100,000 militia and the Sixth Division's Teaching Brigade supported Lanzhou under the leadership of Liu Chenggong, chief of staff of the Sixth Division, and Lian Xuan, commander of the Teaching Brigade.Although it is said that this army, with a total of tens of thousands of troops, is not strong in combat effectiveness, but the problem is that there are too many people, and it is very bluffing.In particular, Lian Xuan has always served as a recruit training school for the Sixth Division, and batch after batch of troops were trained out of Lian Xuan's hands and went to the battlefield.The original retreat, Zhuot Babatur was still very dissatisfied, acting as a regret, but the problem is that at this moment, the front suddenly smoked into the sky, the sound of killing shook the sky, Zhuot Babatur fled to the prestige, only to see a thousand black-clothed cavalry under the leadership of a fierce general, sweeping their rear camp, they used their horse lances to stab every Dzungar in front of them, threw incendiary grenades to the carriages, tents, and trampled on the old and weak women and children of the Dzungar people, everywhere they went, a sea of blood!
Thousands of Dzungar women and children were frightened, and they drove the Korean army like sheep, and this is the cavalry regiment of the teaching brigade led by Lian Xuan himself quietly appeared in the rear of the Dzungar people, and then launched a lightning charge, giving the Dzungar people a backyard to bloom!
This devastating backrush completely crushed the Dzungars.Fireworks rushed to the sky, screams erupted, and countless women and children ran wildly, all of which made the Dzungar army feel very confused, only to feel that there were enemy troops everywhere, and they were already under siege!
They threw down their weapons, threw down their flags, threw down their tribal leaders, and even left their wives and children, and ran away on their horses.However, it was not easy for more than 100,000 people to escape, people were next to each other, horses were crowded together against horses, and countless people were killed and injured under the trampling of each other, and many people drew their knives and slashed at the guys who stood in front of them, trying to cut a way of life, which caused even greater chaos, and the cries resounded all night.Killing dozens of people in a row, but still unable to stop the rout, he sighed and led his guards to flee.However, Xin Gufeng had already stared at him, deliberately making way for him to survive, and after he broke out, more than 100 chasseurs of the whole family army roared out, cheering and pounced on the prey, rope nooses and fishing nets flew towards the Junggar Guards, and dragged them down one by one.Terrified in horror, he threw himself on his horse and kicked his horse in the belly with a spur, and he abandoned his army, his concubines, and his people, and fled.However, there is still no escape.Lian Xuan also chased after him from behind, raised his hand and threw a spear, which hit the horse's buttocks, and the battered war horse wailed and stumbled with its front hooves, throwing Zhuot Babatur seven or eight meters away, falling to the ground, and the sky was spinning in front of him.When the Venus in front of him gradually dissipated, he had been tied up and became a prisoner of the whole family army.The battle of Lanzhou came to an end, and the Dzungar people paid a terrible price for their despicable behavior of taking advantage of the fire and robbery, with more than 60,000 casualties, more than half of which were killed by their cannibalism, and nearly 70,000 people were taken prisoner, and hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses were captured, and there were very few who escaped, and there were no livestock and no grain, and it is still unknown how many of them could return to the Tianshan grassland alive.In the original history, the Dzungar Khanate, which had competed with the Qing Dynasty for a hundred years and dominated Central Asia, may not have the opportunity to show their majesty on the battlefield.Just as the Battle of Lanzhou came to an end, the Qing army's vanguard also arrived at Chengtianmen, the south gate of Beijing.Concubine Li Kang, who was in the Forbidden City, sat on the main seat of the palace, surrounded by the twelve eunuchs, four divisions and eight bureaus with low eyebrows, and the leading figures in the palace, including Empress Zhou, Concubine Yuan, and even Zhang Yan, the official queen of the Apocalypse."
They're coming!"
Concubine Li Kang sighed and said, "They should be here too!"
”Empress Zhou looked at the surrounding splendid palaces and said with regret on her face: "Do you really want to do this?"
”Concubine Li Kang learned that there was still a lot of gunpowder and explosives in Quan Xu's mansion in the capital, and Concubine Li Kangfei immediately asked people to move gunpowder and explosives into the Forbidden City.There are not many of these explosives and gunpowder, about five tons, and it is impossible to move the Forbidden City to the ground, but the Forbidden City is blown into ruins, so that Huang Taiji has nothing, and it can still be done."
The preparations are ready, why not blow up?"
Concubine Li Kang is very single: "What the old lady can't get, no one can think of it!"
”"But ......"
Queen Zhou still had a trace of luck and fantasy in her heart.Concubine Li Kang looked at the surrounding palace ladies and eunuchs and said: "If you really let Huang Taiji enter this Forbidden City, it will be a big shame to be embarrassed!"
”Empress Zhou had nothing to say.Concubine Li Kang doesn't want to live well, her daughter is the founding queen, and her grandson will definitely be the crown prince in the future, she hasn't even had time to see the nascent country, death, she must be reluctant.However, she is a person who can be out of the way.If you want to destroy, let it be a little more complete!
If it can be fried, it is ready to be blown up, and if the explosives are not enough, then pour fire oil.
