    *** Mugozhar Mountain is a mountain range that runs north to south. To the northeast is the Turgai Plateau and to the south is the Kipchak Prairie, and in the prairie lies the Kizilchen Desert.  ¨J ?The Kizilqin Desert is long from north to south, stretching from the south of Mugozhar Mountain to the north shore of the Aral Sea. However, it is narrow from east to west. The narrowest point is only 70 to 80 miles wide. It takes the cavalry most of the day to cross. Under normal circumstances  It won't cause much trouble.  But a desert is a desert, and it is also a desert seventy or eighty miles wide. In this area, hot and dry southeasterly winds blow from Central Asia in summer.  A general who is good at fighting can use wind, rain, frost and snow as weapons. Su Jin is going to use this desert and the southeast wind in this season to give Arthurius a hard blow.  While he sent an order to capture more than 30,000 troops to rush to the selected Romtau as soon as possible to ambush, he also marched towards the east edge of the Kizilqin Desert.  Along the way, Li Ding ordered the army to pretend to be waning. Sometimes he would hunt down the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry with all his strength and then suddenly disappear. At other times, he would deliberately let the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry know the whereabouts of his 20,000-strong army, disappearing and reappearing intermittently.  The enemy feels elusive.  To the west of the Kizilqin Desert, Arthurius¡¯ 90,000-strong army was mighty. After learning that Li Ding¡¯s 20,000-strong Qin army was approaching him, how could he back down with the strength of his own troops and horses?  The total strength of Arthurius is more than four times that of Li Ding, and most of his soldiers are accustomed to the desert climate. The seventy or eighty miles wide desert ahead is nothing to them; in the Kyzilqin Desert  After resting for a night on the west coast, Arthurius ordered the army to cross the desert early the next morning. Ninety thousand troops, like ants, rushed into the Kizilqin Desert, raising long stretches of yellow sand and rising into the sky.  And Li Ding has an army of 20,000.  Then they wait for work on the eastern edge of the Kizilqin Desert.  At the final pre-war meeting, staff officer Wu Ying said: "Generals, although the enemy has an army of 90,000, it can be divided into three armies. The Ottoman army has 50,000 troops, and the Kazakh center Buter Khan has 20,000 troops.  There are also 20,000 soldiers in Hu Laiqin Khan's camp. Usually, several troops are united together, and it is difficult for them to have their own selfish intentions.  Unexpected results. "Du Qianshi Yu Xingguo said: "General, there has just been a coup in the Ottoman Empire. Queen Mother Kosem was assassinated and was replaced by Grand Vizier Koprulu Muhammad Pasha as regent.  This act of seizing power through assassination will definitely cause fierce turmoil in the Ottoman Empire. Queen Mother Kosem has been regent for nearly ten years and must have cultivated a large number of forces loyal to her. Although Queen Mother Kosem has been assassinated, she remains.  There are still many forces. At this time, Arthurius, as the most important supporter of Grand Vizier Coprulu Muhammad Pasha, despite the unstable political situation in the country, still led an army of 50,000 to come to us for a decisive battle.  . This is probably not just because General Su snatched away the future queen of Ottoman. " Thinking of Su Jin snatching the Kazakh princess and the future queen of Ottoman back to the emperor, the corners of Li Ding's lips curled up slightly. As for how much he would steal in the future.  A princess went back to ask for credit.  I don¡¯t know, I just heard him say: "It seems that the Duqian matter is still unfinished. What do you think? Tell everyone quickly." "General, Osman supports a neighboring country on such a large scale. If it is just for the sake of  A woman is a bit unbelievable, not to mention that the political situation in the Ottoman Empire has changed drastically, and it is no longer appropriate to fight for a woman like this. The Ottoman Empire continues to expand, and its territory is extremely vast. It can be seen that this country's desire for territory is unstoppable.  , they went to war to support Kazakhstan. If I think about it carefully, it should be for two reasons. First, while Yang Jier was captured and Kazakhstan's vitality was greatly weakened, they took advantage of the opportunity to annex Kazakhstan in the name of sending troops to support.  Erkopurulu Muhammad Pasha urgently needs a victory to enhance his prestige and stabilize the situation at home. "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles."  The real situation is likely to be as Yu Xingguo analyzed. Li Ding thought for a while and said: "If this is the case, then there are many things that can be exploited. If the Ottomans really annexed the country in the name of support, then what happens next  During the war, Arthurius will definitely do his best to use us to weaken Bootle and Hu Laiqin. Of course, it is definitely what Arthurius would like to see most if we fight with Bootle and Hu Laiqin and both sides suffer losses.  At the same time, if Arthurius urgently needs a victory to increase the prestige of his faction, then we can make a fuss about his 'urgent need'." General Alsileng said: "General, then we can.  By specifically selecting Bootle and Hu Laiqin to attack, we can also test out the actual situation. If Arthurius does not actively support Bootle and Hu Laiqin, we can be sure that?He intends to annex Kazakhstan.  If he fully supports Bootle and Hu Laiqin, it means that Arthurius is in urgent need of a big victory.  Once the temptation comes out, it will not be difficult to deal with him.  ¡± *** In the Kizilqin Desert, 90,000 troops crossed the desert, spreading out for 20 miles. Flags covered the sky, yellow dust was thick, horses neighed, and the voices of people were like a tide. The yellow sand in the desert undulated like a wave.  The waves reflect the dazzling sunshine, so the temperature inside is much higher than on the grassland. The Ottoman and Kazakh soldiers walking in it are sweating; because the desert is only 80 miles wide, it can be crossed in most of the day, so you don¡¯t have to be too frugal.  Water, take out the water bag from time to time and take a few sips. When the horse's hoof steps on the sand, a horse's hoof will not sink. This is much more tiring than walking on the grassland. After walking for forty or fifty miles, the war horse will be so tired that it vomits.  Bai Mo, many soldiers can only come down and lead their horses on foot. Hurry up, the desert is not wide, you can cross it quickly, but Arthurius knows that the Qin army is on the east edge of the desert.  , without waiting for a break, there might be a fierce battle. Therefore, he sent Butel Khan's 20,000 troops as the vanguard, just in case. Buter Khan was unwilling, and he was afraid of being beaten by Li Ding.  , when he was not in a superior position in terms of military strength, he was inevitably a little frightened to face Li Ding alone. But now that he was going to regain his territory, he had no reason to hide behind, so he had to bite the bullet and feel calm.  Buter went ahead anxiously, but as he went further, he found that fewer and fewer scouts came back, and the ones who were lucky enough to come back were unclear. The two of them were still more than 20 miles away from the east edge of the desert.  They were hunted by the Qin army; at first they saw some ownerless horses in the desert, so they went to check, but the Qin army, who was buried in the sand, suddenly opened fire and killed their men one by one.  Don't be fooled, the Qin army won't ambush anymore. They are a group of about ten people, and the rifles they carry have a very long range. Before you get into the range of the bow and arrow, they have already opened fire over there. The bullets are whizzing in, most of them.  The scouts were shot dead by the Qin army in this way. The scouts who luckily escaped told a lot, but they did not know the movements of the Qin army, which made Buter Khan even more uneasy; he sent people back to Yat.  Liu Si asked for instructions, hoping to wait for the follow-up army to arrive before killing him in one fell swoop. Arthur was severely reprimanded, "Are you kidding me? I let you be the vanguard just to find out the enemy's situation. After the follow-up army arrives, you still have to wait for the follow-up army to arrive.  Called a forward? Buter Khan had no choice but to continue moving forward to explore the road. He sent a large number of reconnaissance cavalry, a team of hundreds of people; Li Ding had already expected this, and also sent an additional hunting team; as a result, the armies of both sides were still there.  There was no meeting, but the reconnaissance team was already in full swing in the desert. Gunshots were everywhere, life and death chases were everywhere, and clouds of yellow dust were set off. When Buter Khan's 20,000 men forcibly advanced to 20 miles away from the eastern edge of the desert, they suddenly saw.  When he reached the front, the yellow dust was like waves, rising up into the sky; At first glance, he thought there was a sandstorm; then he thought it was wrong. Because the Kizilqin Desert is narrow from east to west, desert storms are rare. In this season,  It¡¯s even rarer. ¡°Face the enemy!  Meet the enemy!  It's the enemypreparing for war!  " Buter Khan immediately roared, and for a while, his 20,000 troops shouted nervously, and the scene was a bit panicked. Opposite Buter Khan, several rows of Qin soldiers spread out for ten miles, and they were throwing arrows behind the horses.  The tree branches rushed towards Buter Khan's army, raising large amounts of yellow dust to cover the sky; and behind the yellow dust, Li Ding's army, which was waiting for work, also began to rush out like a torrent, constantly accelerating,  Rushing towards the enemy, the war horses neighed, and the killing sound suddenly rose, soaring into the sky *************** ps: Bow and thank Kamius 6886, kingdom,  Read the Book of Heaven to be a good person, the little fat boy who dives, ztydygh1, Wang Chongyang, Pearl River No. 2, Kegong, zygggg, Nanbo Bo, knightstar, Meng Meng No. 3, Niuhuitou, firewindj, eq Lemon, Devil Little Tiger, Zhi Ai  Thank you all for your valuable monthly votes or rewards from Yisheng, fightcyw, Babajie, and Banhu Xiaodao.
