    The camp built on the mountain has been surrounded by Braha's army.

    Soldiers of all ethnic groups who came to seek refuge were inevitably terrified, and it could even be said that they were panicked.

    As the former overlord of Central Asia, although Bukhara has become extremely decayed, there is still power left at this time, and many tribes under the rule dare not resist.

    On the second day after the encirclement of the camp, Governor Mirza came to call for battle.

    Liang Zhen observed with binoculars for a while, and immediately laughed: "It's actually this kind of army. Fortunately, we have few soldiers, and the enemy came to fight on their own initiative. Otherwise, it would be hard to chase after them if they were scared away."

    Lei Zhiji was also observing the enemy army, and asked with a puzzled look: "Bukhara has been established for more than a hundred years, but hasn't learned how to fight on foot?"

    Liu Qin couldn't understand what they were saying, so he asked, "Is there any weakness in the enemy army?"

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Liang Zhen and Lei Zhiji looked at each other and smiled.

    Lei Zhiji explained: "The enemy army doesn't have real infantry at all, and they don't know how to form a large infantry formation. It's their firecrackers, to put it bluntly, they are similar to our army's dragoons."

    This is a puzzling thing. The empire that has ruled Central Asia for more than a hundred years does not know how to arrange infantry formations.

    The army of Bukhara can be said to be all cavalry.

    Even infantry usually ride on horseback¡ªhere we only talk about the regular army, and the temporary recruited tribal armed forces are not counted.

    At this moment, the enemy infantry came outside the camp and dismounted one after another and began to line up.  From the perspective of a layman like Liu Qin, the formation seemed to be quite neat, but in the eyes of Liang Zhen, it was ridiculous.

    Some people say that the troops of the Qing Dynasty were mounted infantry, while the Bukhara army in front of them.  But it is a real dismounted cavalry.

    Moreover, although they were equipped with a large number of muskets, they did not see them carrying artillery when they attacked the camp.

    Lei Zhiji said: "It's a pity that our army traveled a long way and did not bring chariots. Otherwise, the enemy troops would not be able to enter if the chariots were deployed."

    "Not only chariots, but also artillery." Liang Zhen said.

    I didn't bring any artillery with a slightly larger caliber. This time I brought all the tiger crouching cannons, because the tiger crouching cannons can be carried by two people.

    Seeing that the squadron did not fight, Mirza finally ordered an attack.

    However, Mirza did not use the elite. After all, the Datong Army is well-known. He first used Uzbek tribal armies to find out the truth.

    The Uzbek soldiers who were sent up were all from tribes to the west, and they were fairly loyal to the King of Bukhara.  They were usually half-cultivating and half-grazing, but now they were attacking the camp. They dismounted and marched forward, with scimitars pinned to their waists, bows and arrows in their hands, and some soldiers had small shields on their arms.

    On the side of the Datong Army, the camp of tens of thousands of people cannot be defended by only 3,500 Chinese soldiers.

    Although the warriors from various tribes who came to seek refuge did not dare to fight in the field, they still had the courage to defend the camp.  The two sides fired at each other across the wooden fence, causing casualties to each other, and the attacking side naturally suffered heavier casualties.

    Mirza should be a veteran general. He asked the tribal soldiers to take turns to attack the camp. It seemed to be a very stupid refueling tactic, but he was testing the defensive weakness of the camp.

    Moreover, Mirza continued to deploy troops, trying to involve the mobilization of the defenders, so as to find a breakthrough to launch a general offensive.

    But the Datong Army has hot air balloons!

    The four hot air balloons rose, of course not to drop bombs, but to observe the entire battlefield from a commanding height.  

    The camp of the Datong Army was originally built on the mountain, and the terrain was higher than that of the attacking side.  With the use of hot air balloons, you can see the battlefield situation at a glance, and you can see how the enemy deploys troops.

    However, Mirza was in a low place, and the camp was covered by wooden fences, so many times he could only guess what was going on inside.

    After fighting for a whole day, Mirza launched more than ten attacks, which were always easily resolved by Liang Zhen.

    Because when any of Mirza's troops moved, Liang Zhen knew immediately, and dispatched troops to defend in advance.  Not only does it have the advantage of defending the camp, but it often accumulates partial victories by fighting more and fighting less.

    Seeing that Liang Zhen commanded like a god, the tribal soldiers who had come over for refuge saw that although there were already casualties, their morale was getting higher and higher.

    So far, the Datong Army has not moved, and has always been watching the battle as a reserve team.

    Mirza's core elite did not move, because they were all heavy cavalry and musketeers, and he would not let these soldiers die in a tough battle.

    ? During the three consecutive days of fighting, Mirza's side suffered close to 2,000 casualties, while the Datong Army only had more than 300 casualties.  They are all vassal troops of their own, as long as their morale doesn't collapse, no matter how many casualties there are, they don't feel bad.

    On the fourth day, Mirza stopped fighting and chose to besiege the camp, besieging the Datong army alive.

    After all, the Datong Army came from afar, and it is impossible to bring too much military rations.  The tribe that came overIt was gone, leaving only more than a hundred corpses.

    Mirza was annoyed at the cowardice of the soldiers, but instead of punishing them on the spot, he ordered two tribal cavalry to be dispatched.  He didn't want his elite to fight bloody, and planned to use the tribal cavalry as cannon fodder, and then ordered the elite to charge and kill while the Datong army was reloading their ammunition.

    "Cavalry attack!"

    Liang Zhen suddenly dispatched his cavalry and dispatched only 500 cavalry.

    Not to kill the Bukhara elite, but to help the tribal soldiers farther away.

    Seeing that the Datong cavalry carefully passed the rejected horse and ran towards the battlefield on the left, Mirza was a little confused about the situation.

    But he didn't bother to think about it too much. In Mirza's view, the big trouble was the Datong army, and the Chinese leader was in the infantry formation.  As long as the squadron is eliminated and the Chinese leader is killed, no matter how many rebellious tribes are left, he can easily destroy them.  

    Lu Zhaoyun, the commander of the cavalry battalion, led five hundred Datong Xiao cavalry, and immediately accelerated after passing the belt of rejecting horses.

    There has been a mess over there, shooting non-stop in a mess, and no tribe is willing to fight hand-to-hand if the opponent is not shot to flee.

    Lu Zhaoyun didn't care about this, he spotted an enemy army, and immediately rushed over desperately.  During the charge, more than a dozen cavalrymen of Datong were shot off their horses by the enemy's bows and arrows, and more cavalrymen were lost with arrows stuck in their armor.

    In a blink of an eye, Datong Xiaoqi rushed in, and the Uzbek tribe fled immediately.

    Seeing this, the nearby Tajik tribal cavalry immediately had high morale, and followed the Datong cavalry to chase and kill them.

    Dozens of enemy cavalry were hacked to death along the way, and the chased tribe turned to flee.  However, Lu Zhaoyun advanced straight forward, charging towards another group of enemies, and after that group of enemies fled, the nearby Gilligis cavalry also followed.

    Not long after, more and more tribal cavalry followed Datong Xiaoqi.

    The scattered tribal cavalry actually wanted to fight. After all, they had already rebelled. If they lost the war, they would definitely be settled by the governor.  But they lack a backbone, and without a backbone, they have to preserve their strength.

    On the other hand, the tribal cavalry under Governor Mirza's command, they were usually exploited by the king, and their willingness to fight with the governor was already the last loyalty to the king, and it was absolutely impossible to bleed for the king to the end.

    Under the leadership of Lu Zhaoyun, five hundred Datong cavalry continued to defeat the enemy troops along the way, and tribal cavalry continued to join them.

    At the end of the rush, only four hundred of the five hundred warriors remained, and nearly one hundred Chinese soldiers were buried here.  But the tribal cavalry behind them had gathered tens of thousands, and with the Datong cavalry as arrows, no one dared to stop them along the way.

    Mainly due to the previous melee, all the tribes who followed Mirza to fight were scattered, and they couldn't get together for a while.

    ?Mahmur also led Minger's cavalry and ran back to the battlefield in a circle. Seeing this, he couldn't help admiring: "What a brave warrior!"

    The Bukhara Qingqi who were chasing Makhmur's face changed drastically, and they fled to Mirza immediately in fright.

    The tribal cavalry behind Lu Zhaoyun gathered more and more, and finally rushed to Mirza's main formation.  More than 20,000 cavalrymen killed the sky and covered the sky, and the heavy cavalry around Mirza were terrified.

    As for

    Most of the tribal cavalry following Mirza had fled.

    "Attach the bayonet, the infantry strikes!"

    Liang Zhen personally led the infantry, inserted bayonets, crossed the rejected horses, and marched towards the enemy in an orderly manner.

    "My lord governor, run away, we have already lost!".
