Chapter 805 Familiar scene
"Sir, something happened, something happened..."
At about four or five in the morning, it was still dark and the voice of Lu Tiandong came from outside.
Fang Jiuling thought something had happened in the city. He had occupied the city for four days and was basically very peaceful. Are there any resistance elements we had not discovered?
"Are there any rioters in the city?"
Fang Jiuling's clothes have not been put on yet.
"It's not that something happened in the city, it's that something happened in the west. Our spies have returned. About 80,000 troops have been installed from the west, and there are also Wu Sangui's army, which should be from the Yarkand Khanate."
Lu Tiandong said angrily.
"I was originally prepared, that is, it's time to come in the past two days. Take a good breath and let the people below see what they look like and quickly order the whole army to gather together. However, at least five thousand people must be left in the city. Notify these five thousand people to implement the curfew policy immediately. During the war, no one can leave their homes. If anyone dares to disobey the order, kill me on the spot."
Fang Jiuling also had a ruthless look on his face when he spoke. Although he had to implement the policy of carefreeness before, now that the Yarkand Khanate troops are in a hurry, we must ensure that everything is safe.
If there is a fire behind, it will be the biggest threat to the Ming army. There is nothing to be afraid of when we attack head-on. Not to mention your 80,000 troops, even if we come to 160,000 troops, we can still fight you. The most feared thing is the fire in the rear.
"My subordinates understand, don't worry, Lord Fang, there will be no accident in the city. Those sent in are all their subordinates' foundation."
After hearing this, Fang Jiuling breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Tiandong's subordinates turned out to be Huang Degong's guard camp, and they were also the first troops to come to Hami.
They have real skills in their hands. If these five thousand people can't stand a city, they might as well just say that they are elites and go home to sell sweet potatoes in the future.
According to the previous plan, everyone in the city was from the guard battalion. Outside the city was a new infantry regiment. This infantry regiment was not newly trained in the inland area. They were all trained by Huang Degong in the Western Regions for a long time.
So when facing an army of 80,000, these people remained calm and did not think that these 80,000 people could be much better than them. Although they had less than 20,000 people, they all had the belief of winning.
"Don't be idle in the cavalry company. Go and ambush them first, delay their time slightly, and you must not be entangled with them."
Lu Tiandong looked at the somewhat chaotic army. It would take some time for them to assemble. The cavalry company had already assembled. At this time, they could not be left idle here.
After receiving the order, thousands of cavalrymen quickly checked their weapons and equipment, and then set out from the barracks in two groups.
Now they are located south of Hami, and the army of the Yarkand Khanate is located northwest of Hami, so they have to bypass the city before they can see the army of the Yarkand Khanate.
If someone else wants to fight, all the troops should be transferred into the city and then a tug-of-war with the other party based on the city wall.
However, the Ming army's advantage is in the wild. If everyone enters the city, it will be like cutting off their own advantages.
So except for the 5,000 troops that entered the city in the early stage, the remaining troops were all waiting outside the city, for this moment, now that the army of the Yarkand Khanate has arrived, they can finally show their skills.
The leader was Qu Tutong, the general of the Yarkand Khanate. This guy led 70,000 elite troops and 10,000 miscellaneous troops under Wu Sangui, and rushed over with a fierce look.
In his impression, the Ming army was not very powerful. Although he had not fought with the Ming army, he had suppressed the rebellious tribes among the seven guards of Guanxi.
These tribal armies can defeat the Ming army, not to mention the elite of their Yarkand Khanate.
Although Wu Sangui had told him several times that the Ming army was completely different from the original one, Qu Tutong did not take this seriously. He believed that Wu Sangui was mainly afraid of being beaten, and he never thought that Wu Sangui's army had any combat effectiveness.
Wu Sangui was thinking about using some method to remind the general and let him know the power of the Ming army. Who knew that Wu Sangui had not thought of a solution yet, familiar gunshots were already sounded on both wings of the front army. Of course, Wu Sangui knew that the gunshot had nothing to do with them, but the cavalry of the Ming army.
If it were infantry from the Ming army, they would use spear attack methods, so the gunfire would not be so dense.
But the cavalry of the Ming army was different. They used pistol attack methods, and they attacked randomly, and several people had to fall down in front of them. So Wu Sangui knew very well how strong the combat effectiveness of these cavalry was.
His Guanning Iron Cavalry was the best in the world at that time. Even when facing the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, he still had the strength to fight.
However, when facing the Ming cavalry, no matter whether it is Guanning Tieji or the Eight Banners Cavalry, it cannot be their opponents, let alone the cavalry of the Yarkand Khanate.
"Go and see what's going on?"
Although Qu Tutong was named a general, he did not fight much in his daily life.
So this guy doesn't have enough experience in facing the enemy on the battlefield. If it were Wu Sangui's command, he would naturally know that this was the opponent's cavalry and immediately ordered us to shrink.
Unfortunately, Qu Tutong is not Wu Sangui, so he is too late to issue an order, which will cost a considerable price.
The cavalry company that came out was divided into two parts. When they saw a black piece in front, what else could they say? They wrapped the horse's hooves in rags, then slowly came to the surroundings of Qu Tutong's subordinates, and then they fought in a mess.
Although the cavalry of the Yarkand Khanate were also good at fighting, how could they have seen such a combat method? Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw a lot of fire around them. When they wanted to rush up, they found that there were several more blood holes on their bodies.
"What did you say? How much effort did five or six hundred people die?"
Faced with his subordinates' reports, Qu Tutong couldn't believe it, and slapped the person in front of him.
