so

Where did Galdan go?Did he know that Emperor Kangxi drove across the desert himself, so he was scared away?Did he have some conspiracy, so he deliberately led the army here?Everyone was making all kinds of guesses. In the tent hall, the military ministers from all walks of life quarreled like a swarm, which made Kangxi's brain ache.

Initially, Galdan was inspected every ten days, but when the Central Route Army entered the desert, it became an inspection every five days.Later, it became a three-day visit.The last time I visited Galdan's camp, I saw that everything was normal, but after three days, these 2 people suddenly disappeared!Juggling isn't all that magical.Kangxi felt very strange, thinking that Galdan must not have escaped far, hiding in the encirclement of the three armies, but he didn't know where Galdan went.

Finding tens of thousands of people in a large encirclement with a radius of nearly a thousand miles is not difficult or easy.

Yinhu was also confused.This is the result that he never thought about.

In the previous life, Galdan never expected that Kangxi would work hard and go on an expedition. Instead of seeking the comfort of the capital, he went to the desert to endure the drought and wind and sand, so he just burned the wasteland and made some basic defenses, waiting for a small group of Qing troops to come He cleans up.Galdan's underestimation of the enemy led to his failure.In the last life, Galdan actually just lost to himself.At that time, the West Route Army arrived at the Tula River a month later than agreed, and the East Route Army did not arrive on time. Originally encircled by the three routes, Kangxi fought alone in the middle route.Kangxi had no choice but to send envoys to Galdan's camp to tell Galdan that he had come in person, so Galdan was shocked and lost his position.

The place where Galdan was stationed was actually an excellent fortification. Manchurian soldiers were precious, and Kangxi was actually very worried that if he wanted to storm Galdan's position, he would suffer heavy casualties.That's why it's the first plan.At that time, Galdan had indeed abandoned the camp and fled. Not only did he escape, but he also killed some sick and elderly women, leaving behind Buddhist altars, brewing utensils, armor, clothes and so on.

However, this time it was a completely different situation.The west road and the middle road were in place in time, and the food and grass were sufficient. Although the soldiers were exhausted after traveling thousands of miles, they were still extremely powerful after a few days of rest.Although the east road was a bit slower, the remote control battlefield had a favorable terrain. Kangxi's plan at this time was definitely to shrink the encirclement to within a dozen miles without anyone noticing, and then wiped out the enemy in one fell swoop while the enemy was unprepared.But before the encirclement began to shrink, the enemy disappeared, not so strangely and quickly, and it can even be seen from the camps left behind that Galdan definitely did not flee in a hurry, but packed his luggage in advance and made a living. After adequate preparations, he walked slowly.

Kangxi suspected that someone in his army was collaborating with the enemy.

It's easy to imagine.Although Kangxi's imperial conquest was very powerful inside the pass, it should be extremely difficult for news to spread outside the pass.Although Yinhu had made a lot of preparations for the war before, but firstly, the scale was not large, and secondly, they were all done in the name of building a post station in Monan under the name of the caravan and the imperial court, so it would not disturb Galdan.Even if Galdan knew about it, why didn't he take military action in advance many days ago?Why did he wait until he was about to become a turtle in the urn, and then pack up and leave?Even if Galdan got the news and ran away, why can he just stagger the time of the investigation?All kinds of doubts point to a conclusion. Someone notified Galdan temporarily, so Galdan was able to disappear under the eyes of the army so calmly.

Who is this person, and how did he send the information to the Galdan military camp?What is his identity and what is his purpose?

Everything is unknown, confusing and clueless.

Although the Third Route Army said that the encirclement has been completed, there is still a huge gap between the three armies.It would not be impossible for Galdan to break up into pieces and slip out of the gap between the three armies.

Kangxi began to worry.

The Central Route Army was stationed on the bank of the Kerulen River, with cavalry and shotgun soldiers mixed in a team of thousands of people, and each of the Eight Banners sent a team, and scattered in all directions to look for traces of the enemy.Once the enemy situation is discovered, immediately report back to the camp, and start fighting as appropriate, trying to lead Galdan into the already tightened pocket.The map of the whole territory of Mongolia drawn by Yinhu during his stay in the Lifan Academy was hung in Kangxi's tent at this time. Surrounded by the map, thinking about where Galdan could escape.

The West Route Army stood still and rested in place.According to Kangxi's order, the West Route Army should actually disperse the cavalry and look for the enemy everywhere, but Fei Yanggu felt that doing so was too risky.Yinzhen and Yinhu also had the same attitude on this issue, and they both agreed to divide the troops at this time.The Qing army originally had a numerical advantage, surrounded by three routes, quietly, occupying the initiative on the battlefield.As soon as Galdan was lost, the light and darkness of the Qing army and the Erut army were switched for a while. What was originally an annihilation battle without any suspense suddenly became unclear to people.

The explorers of the West Route Army were not idle, and each of them had to investigate carefully.There are more than 2 people left behind after the geese pass by, and it is impossible to disappear out of thin air.In order to prevent Galdan from passing through the gap between the Central Route Army and the West Route Army and retreating westward to Junggar, Fei Yanggu ordered Sun Sike's troops who had not yet caught up with the brigade not to move northward, but to stick to the desert all the way eastward, blocking the two The gap between the army, and at the same time be ready for battle at any time.Every time you camp, you must choose a favorable terrain, and you must not take it lightly.Although Sun Sike has no cavalry and is not very mobile, but with artillery, his attack power is not weak. After encountering the enemy, as long as he can last for a day, Qingqi from the West Road can arrive in time.

For five days, for five full days, no one found any trace of Galdan, and the Erut people really seemed to have evaporated from the world.On the first day of May, an attacking 1-man team disappeared near Tuonuo Mountain.Leading the army was the deputy governor of Manchuria with a red flag inlaid.The small battalion bordered with red flags was commanded by Sunu[[-]], and it was he who reported the news.In the past five days, it was stipulated that each team going out should report the situation of its troops every four hours, and the people led by Wuhe had lost contact with the Chinese army for nine hours.

"Khan Ama, I ask you to take someone to investigate the missing place of Wuhe's department!" After hearing the report, Yinyi immediately knelt down and begged for orders.It is impossible for Wahe to disappear out of thin air.Sunu sent someone to look for it, but they couldn't find it. It can only mean that the people who hold Hehe have engaged in battle with Galdan.There are not many people in Galdan, plus the old and weak women and children are full of less than 3 people. There are more than 3 troops in the middle route, and more than 4 in the west route. The east route is far away and may not be able to catch up.This kind of situation is a typical situation where there are too many monks and too little porridge. Yinfeng knows that this is the only advantage he has. No matter how much he can surpass the prince in internal affairs, his strong military exploits are the foundation of his life.

"You go?" Kangxi hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, and said: "Alright. Order all the troops outside the Central Route Army to gather and return to the camp. If they encounter Galdan, try to capture them alive. Minister Ma Siha, I ordered him with you."

※※※※※※※※※

Yinyi, Ma Siha, and Sunu led 3000 troops and rushed all the way to Tuonuo Mountain.The terrain of Tuonuo Mountain is complex, it is considered as the most important place in the art of war, it is easy to get in and not easy to get out, Yin Yin is familiar with the art of war, so he naturally knows that he can't go in easily, so he immediately ordered the whole army to stop marching and stand by on the spot.

"This is a good place to hide. Galdan, I'm afraid it's in this mountain." Yinbi looked at the terrain, pointed with his horsewhip, and asked, "Want to come and see them in the mountain, but they can't get out when they find the enemy. , so I was trapped to death inside. This place is not allowed to trespass, but whether Galdan is here needs to be verified urgently. Do you have any good strategies?"

Although Sunu is the Duke of Zhen and the clan, he is only a governor.If you don't fight at this time, you are not brave, if you fight, you are not wise. With the big elder brother and Ma Siha suppressing him, even if he has any thoughts, it is difficult to express them.

Ma Siha is the minister of the interior, and he is also familiar with Yinyi, so he was more casual, so he said: "Send less people to harass the mountain pass. As soon as the enemy comes out, they will pretend to be defeated, throw some baggage, give them some sweets, and let them go." Chase them over and kill them again." What Ma Siha said was nothing more than an ordinary method, a common tactic in attacking a fortified city, deceitful defeat to lure the enemy.

Yinfei frowned, and couldn't help asking: "Can Galdan be so stupid? If he defends against danger, we have no good strategy even if our army is here."

"That depends on whether we pretend to be good or not." Ma Siha replied.

※※※※※※※※※

The Junggar cavalry did emerge from the mountains.

Yinfei only sent 300 people to the mountain pass to harass. After a while, a small group of cavalry rode out with spears upright.A cavalry team of about 500 people chased out from the mountain pass.Yinbi stood in the distance and watched the battle at the mountain pass with clairvoyance.The leader of the Junggar cavalry was a middle-aged general, who looked powerful and powerful, with a heroic spirit in his brows.

Seeing the 500 people leaving the mountain pass, Yinxuan felt ecstatic: I was fooled!

However, the 500 people did not chase the bait all the way into the ambush circle that Yinbi had set up early as Yinbi hoped.Seeing that the middle-aged general had come out of the mountain pass, he yelled something, and the Mongolian cavalry speeded up, as if they had inserted diagonally into the flanks of the decoy troops in the blink of an eye.The mounts of the Qing army were Mongolian horses, with long legs but not fast speed, while Galdan's troops were all Western Region horses, tall and strong, with the speed of lightning.

Hundreds of horses marched side by side in an instant, and their speed suddenly more than doubled. There was no formation, no formation, but only a herd of horses having fun and the long-lasting Zhengchen flying behind the formation.The Junggar cavalry brandished sabers on their horses, and a few young soldiers were standing on their horses and whistled loudly. They were one with the horses.They had fun comparing who was faster and who had better riding skills, completely ignoring the well-equipped Qing army ahead.

It was when Yinfei lowered his clairvoyance and ordered the whole army to attack in full force without waiting for the enemy to enter the encirclement. The five hundred Junggar cavalry who were advancing at full speed, like the eagle king on the grassland, spun around in a circle at full gallop, and turned horizontally. Into the bait troops of the Qing army.

"Quick! Attack!" Yinfei frowned, ordered sharply, and then got on his horse.He ignored Ma Siha and Sunu who kept calling "big brother" behind him, pulled the rein and raised the bow, and rushed to the battlefield.He was followed by the guards of the Manchurian Bird Gun Xiaoqi Battalion, and a scattered cry of "protect the big brother" and "follow the big brother" sounded behind Yinfei. Yinfei didn't hear anything. In his eyes, only the distant The 300 people who were about to be hit by the Junggar cavalry.

The task of the decoy troops was to escape for their lives. When they found the enemy on the side, they urged them harder, but they couldn't run away from the tall horses of the Eruts.Yinbi shouted from a distance: "Scatter! Scatter!" At this time, only by dispersing the troops can the horses collide and stampede casualties can be avoided to the greatest extent.However, the distance is too far, and the wind is against the wind, and Yin Yin's voice can't be heard at all.

Yin Yu's eyes were red, and he watched the Junggar cavalry collide with the Qing cavalry at full speed.With a loud roar, Yinfei let go of the reins, took out an arrow from his quiver, twisted his arms, and the bow was drawn perfectly like a moon. With a sound of "swoosh", the sharp arrow rushed straight at the leading general with the speed of a gallant horse. head flew away.
