Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the north shore of the Caspian Sea, the vast Qinchak Prairie stretches here, with green grass and wild flowers everywhere, and it is full of vitality.  The Ural River originates in the southern part of the Ural Mountains, flows southward, and flows into the Caspian Sea. With a total length of 4,800 miles, it is the fourth largest inland river in the world. Together with the Ural Mountains, it is the dividing line between Asia and Europe.  .  "The Ural River was also regarded as the boundary river in the Great Qin boundary delineated by Qin Mu, and everything east of the river would be included in the territory of Great Qin.  "However, to complete this great plan of Emperor Qin, we still need to baptize with blood and fire again and again.  At this moment, by the Ural River, Kazakh tents, small tents and the Ottoman Empire's army were gathered, totaling 90,000 troops.  The Ottoman Governor of the Greater Caucasus, Arthurius, stood at the head of the city of Atyrau, looking at the Ural River flowing southward outside the city, with cold eyes. Behind him, a star-and-moon flag fluttered high, which was the symbol of the Ottoman Empire.  The Kazakh middle tent Buter Khan had long been impatient. Since the late autumn of last year, he had been forced to abandon his territory in a hurry and ran west to his small tent on the north shore of the Caspian Sea.  I always want to regain my territory.  Buter Khan pinned all his hopes on Arthurius and urged him several times. However, Arthurius was busy with domestic political struggles and was reluctant to send troops for a decisive battle with the Qin people on the grounds that winter was not suitable for fighting.  This year, a huge political storm occurred within the Ottoman Empire. The regent Queen Mother, who was also the Sultan Queen Mother, Kosem, was assassinated and died. The feminist period of the Ottoman Empire came to an end.  With the support of Arthurius and other governors, the 75-year-old Koprulu Muhammad Pasha became the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire.  The Grand Vizier is the highest-ranking minister below the Sultan, equivalent to the position of prime minister, and has absolute agency power. In principle, only the Sultan can remove this power.  The Grand Vizier holds the imperial seal, which is equivalent to the imperial seal of the Qin Dynasty. He can summon all viziers to participate in national affairs. The place where the meeting is held is called "Kubalti" (under the round dome).  Located in the Ottoman Topkapi Palace.  Now that the Ottoman Caliphate is still small, the power of the Grand Vizier exceeds that of the Prime Minister and is actually equivalent to that of the Regent.  The entire empire was in the hands of Grand Vizier Koprulu Mehmed Pasha.  Koprulu Muhammad Pasha was a radical conservative law enforcer who tried his best to restore central power and the military strength of the empire. His son Koprulu Faqir Ahmed was the specific executor of his policies.  It can be said that the Koprulu family is really bent on reviving the imperial power and strengthening centralization of power.  This is also the reason why the Coprulu family can get the support of governors like Arthurius.  There is no doubt that now, the new rulers of the empire need a hearty victory to strengthen their prestige and consolidate the domestic political situation.     so.  This time without Buter Khan's urging, Arthurius also decided to attack with all his strength and give the Qin people a fatal blow.  The 90,000-strong army was assembled and spread out for 20 to 30 miles under the city of Atyrau. It was as vast as a torrent and stretched as far as the eye could see.  The roar of the war horses, the swords and guns reflecting the sun, and the grand military appearance made Buter Khan and others feel angry.  passionate.  The cavalry passing the order kept galloping, and the reconnaissance posts kept sending back information about the Qin army: "Report to your Excellency the Governor, the Qin army has crossed the Turgai River and is heading towards the Mugojar Mountains." "Well done. Send the order,  The whole army sets out!" Following Arthurius's order, the messengers galloped out, and the horns and trumpets sounded incessantly.  The 90,000-strong army began to move slowly, with the sound of hooves and flags covering the sun.  The sound is loud and clear.  Li Ding lost a lot of weight and looked more capable and calm.  He has not been idle this winter. Although the winter in the Qinchak Prairie is very dry and cold, it rarely snows; the Qin army has a complete set of equipment, gloves and masks, and is wrapped tightly, marching in the winter with only one pair of eyes exposed.  Before winter, he sent people south to contact Su Jin. The two sides moved toward each other, one from the south and the other from the north, to sweep the Kipchak grassland and captured a large number of Kazakh herdsmen.  But after all, there was an enemy army eyeing the Caspian Sea. Li Ding had to be wary and failed to move south in a big way. In order to guard against the Safavid Empire, Su Jin's main force could not move north with all its strength. Therefore, they failed to successfully join forces.  However, the main force led by Qiubai has arrived in Tyumen. Although they have not joined forces yet, the two sides can already maintain close contact and can be regarded as joining forces.  Zhabai has 35,000 cavalry under his command, and they are moving closer to Li Ding.  These 35,000 men and horses have not yet been discovered by Arthurius and others.  Li Ding has sent people to greet Qiabai and asked him to pay attention to hiding his whereabouts. This time, Li Ding decided to give the enemy a huge surprise.  In the vast prairie, it is often difficult to see a human being for hundreds of miles.An army sometimes even gets lost. It is not difficult to hide its whereabouts.  On the galloping horse, Alslen raised his left index finger, put it into his mouth and blew. A sharp whistle penetrated the sky. In the blue sky, a golden eagle spread its wings and soared, making a clear whistling sound, fanning the  Its broad wings flew westward. "This kind of golden eagle is not only found in Alslen, but there are as many as seven in the Qiubai area. They fly in the sky like reconnaissance planes, which are much larger than ordinary ones."  Scouts are much faster and have a much wider range.  The grasslands are not always flat. Some places are undulating like waves, some rivers are like belts, some are densely covered with swamps, some are lush jungles, and sometimes there are mountains and mountains.  The reconnaissance cavalry on the ground is very laborious to conduct reconnaissance. With these eyes, it is difficult for ordinary herders or enemy troops around the army to escape detection.  "General! General!" The guerrilla general Li Wei brought hundreds of light cavalry and galloped over the hillside to the northwest. Li Ding and Du Qianshi Yu Xingguole's truce horses were waiting under a few pine trees, behind them were  Twenty thousand iron cavalry marched with a roar, sending up smoke and dust.  Li Wei rode his horse and rushed about ten steps in front of Li Ding, then he dismounted, threw the reins to his soldiers, walked up to him excitedly and said, "General, I have carefully inspected the terrain of Romitao.  "Suitable" Li Wei squatted down and scratched the ground with the handle of his riding whip while explaining: "General, this is Limugojar Mountain, located in the west, and this is the Urgai River, located in the east.  To the north, the angle between the mountains and the river becomes narrower. In the Romtau area, the width between the mountains and the river is 30 miles. It is an undulating hilly area with patches of pine forests.  Ten miles to the south, there is a lake surrounded by swamps, and only a three-mile wide area on the left can be passed. "The terrain on the grassland is actually quite complex. If there are three thousand troops fighting, it is not difficult to find a place for an ambush, but Kazakhstan.  With Osman's army numbering 90,000, it was difficult to find the location for the ambush.  The area is too narrow, so most people will send a group of troops in and leave the main force outside, so there is no chance of an ambush.  If the area is too wide and the line of sight is wide, it will be more difficult to ambush.  Looking at the pictures drawn by Li Wei and listening to his explanation, Li Ding also felt that this place was really good; he only had 20,000 troops, of which only 5,000 were equipped with rifles and rockets. These 5,000 troops were Han troops, and they were  Qin Mu asked Li Ding to select him from an army of tens of thousands at the foot of Helan Mountain.  Most of the others are Mongolian soldiers, drawn from various Mongolian ministries according to the method of drawing. In order to control these Mongolian soldiers, it is impossible to equip them with rifles and rockets.  There are as many as ninety thousand enemies, and they are all highly mobile cavalry. Once the decision is made, the battlefield may be twenty to thirty miles wide, and the Qin army of five thousand equipped with firearms can only cover very limited areas.  Considering these factors, Li Ding decided to fight an ambush. This would not only bring out the power of the Qin army's firearms, but also capture the sudden attack of the 35,000 men and horses, so as to achieve the greatest results.  "In that case, it's decided that we will lead the enemy to Romtau and fight here. If anyone comes, please contact Qie Bai immediately and ask him to arrive at Romtau as soon as possible to ambush." ??"Here!" Du Qian  Afterwards, Xingguo said: "Based on the distance, it will take at least three days for General Qibai's troops to reach Romtau. Moreover, after arriving, they need to rest for a day. Calculating this, we have to take the enemy with us.  The army will have to wait a few more days. " Li Ding nodded and said, "That's true. How to lure the enemy's army into an ambush is the most important thing. Do you have any good strategies? " The enemy is not a fool. He wants to lure others.  It is not an easy task for tens of thousands of troops to ambush.  Can it be done in the end?  In fact, even Li Ding was not completely sure.  ps: I bow to thank Duke Nan Hua for the 100,000 reward.
