Chapter 23: Martial Arts in the World

When I returned to Baishui City, I went there, and I had already received news. How did you attack? If the artillery fire continues, the people will be damaged."

De Ling was still waiting for another word, Ye Zhao waved his hand: "Go and prepare to deploy troops." Looking around, seeing Ulden and other guards looking at each other, they would kneel down and persuade him. Ye Zhao said: "Don't say anything, I have my own sense of responsibility. Are you really going to die? If the enemy chief is difficult to defeat, let's come back, am I a hot-headed person?"

Deling, Ulden and others dare not say anything again. When they thought about it in a flash, they were as if the emperor said, it seemed dangerous, but in fact, if An Jiyan people were prepared, they would not have to alarm them and sail back quietly.

Ye Zhao waved his hand: "Go and prepare!"

There were about 30,000 Uzbek *** who invaded ***, and there were more than 50,000 tribes enrolled in ***, of which the main legion was the Uzbek cavalry, of which there were about 50,000 such bandit cavalry who were well-trained today attacking Uzbek today, and there were musket formations, with about 10,000.

The so-called musket array should be infantry equipped with muskets transmitted from Tsarist Russia, the kind of front-mounted smoothbore gun used in the American War of Independence and the Napoleonic War at the beginning of this century. It was eliminated in large quantities by Tsarist Russia as scrapped copper and iron, and naturally sold to Central Asia by profiteers.

According to horse exploration information, Aguber's musket army and a large number of cavalry gathered in the Sangzhu area on the eastern front of Yarkand, and was preparing to attack the city of Khotan among the eight cities of ***.

Now that his northern line contacts the Emperor's team and is defeated in a crushing situation, Aguber will inevitably return to Yarkand and Kashgar quickly.

Taking advantage of the weak defense of Kashgar, only thousands of Uzbeks and surrendered tribes defending, they led cavalry to attack the city like lightning, cut off the connection between Agubo and the Khanate of Kokhan, and catching turtles in the jar is naturally the best choice.

Although there were only two outposts and only more than 300 cavalry were added to the inner guards, Ye Zhao had made up his mind. In addition to his clear judgment of the situation, perhaps, he liked to take risks in his bones. In war, if everything is ready, plan and move forward, and fight steadily, it is actually difficult to obtain the greatest benefit at the minimum cost.

Soon, Meng Jiang and Zhao Kui had already assembled the cavalry, and De Ling quickly transferred the infantry battalion and artillery battalion. If he could arrive at Kashgar earlier, the danger would be reduced by one point.

The cavalrymen of the Knights all had majestic crimson double-row copper buckle uniforms. Unlike the Great Inner Guards, the Great Inner Guards used golden soft spikes, while they were silver star red spikes.

Three hundred cavalry gathered in front of the yamen. When they heard that they were going to follow the emperor to attack Kashgar, the officers and soldiers of the Cavalry Corps immediately burst into cheers. At this time, the sky was getting darker. On the *** night, the cold wind was shining, but everyone was in their hearts.

After looking at Afafu beside him, Ye Zhao immediately took out two six-thunder cannons on his body and threw them at her. The ten-shot fast gun was relatively complicated to operate, unlike a revolver who could get started.

Immediately, hundreds of red-shirted cavalrymen rushed out of the city gate, turned into a long dragon, and galloped southwest.

Baishui City is more than 900 miles away from Kashgar. Similarly, Agubo is located in the main legion of Sangzhu area in the eastern border of Yarkand, and is a thousand miles away from Kashgar.

If the surprise attack on Kashgar was successful, the infantry battalion and artillery battalion might have entered Kashgar before Agubai returned to defense. Otherwise, Kashgar city was high and the army advanced, and the news was obtained, and the Yi City gate was closed and then returned to defense by Agubai cavalry, there were many variables on the battlefield.

Along the way, there were few people, but Ye Zhao did not allow the cavalry to gallop at night, and only traveled more than a hundred miles a day. He naturally wanted to raise his energy and welcome the fierce battle with the best attitude.

On the evening of the day, I saw a village, which was a Uyghur tribe. With Afafu as the translator, Ye Zhao took out a handful of candies for the Uyghur children. Soon, he became familiar with the villagers.

As night fell, a bonfire was lit by the stream outside the village, and the soldiers and civilians sang and danced, and were in a state of joy.

Originally, Meng Jiang used a few boxes of matches to exchange for a sheep from the village and prepared to roast it for the emperor for food. Although Ye Zhao did not scold him, he took out the silver coins and bought more than ten sheep. At this time, he set up a barbecue and invited the whole village to eat. More than a dozen bonfires were surrounded by people, and the rich aroma blew in the wind, making people's index fingers move.

The elders of the tribe sat beside Ye Zhao and kept praising him, saying that it was because of the commander, "We all have good fortune in our village." Afafu did not tell him about Ye Zhao's true identity, and the Uyghur elders originally wanted to present these lambs to the officers and soldiers, but Ye Zhao insisted on paying silver coins. The elders had never seen such a kind officer in their lifetime, so they were extremely novel.

Ulden led his people to deliver mutton to the Yudong Shou and fixed Shou who were guarding everywhere. After returning, he sat behind Ye Zhao. Ye Zhao turned around and smiled: "Ulden, sing a song to help you liven up!"

The other bonfires were extremely lively, only Ye Zhao and the Great Eunuch Guards. The guards were very restrained. The young Uyghur men and women became at a loss without realizing it. One of the enthusiastic and unrestrained Uyghur girl invited the handsome guards to dance. The guards were embarrassed and scolded her in a hurry. The atmosphere around the bonfire was even more strange.

As for Ye Zhao, even if he didn't make such a show, no one dared to invite him to dance.

After listening to Ye Zhao's words, Ulden was stunned, but his master asked him to sing, so he couldn't refuse. Then he yelled in a gong's voice, making several Uyghur girls laugh so hard that they leaned back and forth.

Ye Zhao looked at Afafu sitting on his right side again. Afafu walked into the venue without waiting for him to speak, with white clothes fluttering, little snow boots stomping on the beat, singing with a clear sound, "Drawing dragons and tigers is hard to draw bones, please paint the painter——, you have to draw a fog in the clouds. The clouds come in the middle of the mountain, the fog in the middle of the mountain, the wisteria grows in the middle of the mountain, the crying in the middle of the day, the heartache in the middle of the night--"

Compared to the holy hymns, Afafu sang folk tunes, but it was gentle and sweet, and it was better than a hundred birds singing.

Ye Zhao smiled and applauded, and saw Afafu walking back, and gave a thumbs up.

"I'll have a song too." Ye Zhao stood up with a smile and said, "Sit and don't move!" The guards who were about to move up were all sitting upright.

After clearing his throat, Ye Zhao sang loudly, and the lyrics said: "The sea is smiling, the tides surging on both sides of the shore, floating and rising and falling with the waves are remembered today! The sky laughs, and the tides in the world are everywhere. Who will defeat who will win better than the heavens know, the country is smiling, the mist and rain are far away, how much do you know about the world? The breeze laughs, and it actually makes the lonely, and there is still a night of passion left......................"

The Uyghur men and women applauded softly, and the bonfires were quiet all over the bonfire. Ye Zhao sang, and the guards and soldiers should listen quietly, not to mention that Ye Zhao's singing was extremely infectious. In addition, the officers and soldiers thought about the emperor's warriors and invincible martial arts, and their soldiers were full of heroism.

After Ye Zhao sat back, a Uyghur girl who was seven or eight years old and had a dozen or so floral florals ran to him, presented a bouquet of wild lotus, and hugged Ye Zhao and kissed Ye Zhao on the face.

The Uyghur elder smiled and said, "Sir, Aiguli said she wanted to marry you."

Ye Zhao laughed and took Aiguli's little hand down to dance. He watched Aiguli's little hand put on his waist, kicking his legs and twisting his head, and his dancing posture was very beautiful. Ye Zhao laughed so hard that he really loved her when he picked her up.

At night, Ye Zhao and the guards took a shower in the stream and washed away their fatigue.

When he set off early the next morning, when he was galloping, Ye Zhao asked Afafu: "Did you take a bath in the stream yesterday?" After asking, he regretted it, but saw Afafu nodding slightly, and it was natural. He thought that the woman on the edge was indeed different from the Central Plains.

It took eight days to walk from Baishui City to Kashgar. At night, I arrived at the foot of Kashgar. I hid my tracks behind a loess slope three or five miles away and took a rest.

Behind the loess slope, rows of soldiers leaned on the bullets, checked the guns, and threw away the canned food and other dry food on their bodies. In fact, the calculation time was very accurate, and there were not many cans left.

A sentry observed the direction of the city gate from the Qianli Mile Mile mirror for a moment.

Looking at Afafu who couldn't let go of his love and wiped the Six Thunder Cannons, Ye Zhao said, "I'll give it to you, you should keep this war afterwards. But before that, don't point the gun at me."

Afafu thought that this was not accurate, but I wouldn't shoot you with this gun.

I don’t know how long it took, Ye Zhao took out the white wine sent by the Uyghur tribe. Although Muslims prohibited wine, some tribes did not adhere to it. The wine was originally in a bamboo and wooden tube, and was filled by Ye Zhao in a small glass bottle filled with Urden. It shook gently. Under the refraction of the glass, the wine flashed with an amber-like luster.

Ye Zhaoyin said: "Grape wine, luminous cup, and you want to drink the pipa immediately. Don't laugh at me when you lie drunk on the battlefield. How many people who have fought in ancient times have returned..." At the end of the song, he sighed softly. How many people who have fought in ancient times can return?

Unplugged the bottle plug and took a sip.

At this time, the huge city gate of Kashgar slowly opened, and the "creaking" sound echoed, as if you could hear it behind the earth slope.

Ye Zhao threw the wine bottle to the ground, jumped up, turned over the horse, and shouted in a low voice: "Go!"

Behind the loess slope, more than a dozen horses rushed out and rushed towards the city gate. In the entrance of the city gate, the bandits guarding the city, who were standing lazily against the wall, saw this, just stood still and took two steps to ask, the cavalry had arrived in front of him. Bang bang bang bang bang, and the gunshots were fired, and several bandits guarding the city fell in a pool of blood.

Then, hundreds of cavalry surged out from behind the earth slope, and the sound of killing shocked the sky. They rushed into the city gate quickly, and met with more than a dozen cavalry in front of them. They yelled all the way, but they were local languages ​​learned from Afafu. The general meaning was, "The officers and soldiers are here! Brothers and sisters, get up and kill An Jiyan people!" There were only a few simple words, and they were very learning-oriented.

The cavalry team entered through the north gate and then rushed straight to the south gate. They encountered bandits with swords, spears and firearms along the way, and they shot and slashed with guns and knives. In Kashgar City, they were immediately in chaos.

Amid the sound of gunfire, the cavalry team rushed out of the southern city gate like a flying. The dozen or so bandits guarding the southern city gate were about to pass the city to death, and the rest scattered.

The cavalry team circled around outside the south city and grabbed the horse's stance, "Put the bullet!" Ulden roared, and immediately a neat sound of metal guns.

"Come again!" Ulden roared, and then the cavalry team rushed into the city again like flying. This time, it attacked the Kashgar Minister's Office, the streets. Hundreds of bandits gathered, with firearms, but in the chaos of loading, the cavalry team had already rolled over, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang b

"Kill An Jiyan people!" "Kill An Jiyan people!" The city seemed to be shocking and roaring, which woke Karim from her sleep. The dormitory door was knocked open with a bang. Guard Mohammed rolled in and rushed in, not caring about Karim's concubine with white body exposed beside him.

"Mr. Burke, Chinese, Chinese cavalry, Chinese people are everywhere..." Mohammed was really scared. He was just outside the yamen. Hundreds of musket guards with their masters gathered at the fastest speed, but what followed was a massacre, that is, the effort of sprinkling urine, and was almost slaughtered.

"Where did the Chinese come from?" Karim cursed, slapped the crying concubine and screaming. Then he took out the musket and got out of bed.

At this time, the city of Kashgar was already in chaos. The city was full of more than 5,000 defenders who were loyal to the city lord Karim, including nearly a thousand musketeers, and the rest were Uzbeks and surrendered tribes.

Like all tribal countries, the Uzbeks did not have real professional soldiers, but were brave and brave, herdsmen and peasants, and they would form an army when they were summoned. Even the newly-organized musket infantry were mostly wealthy families with cattle and sheep grasslands, and they would become musket soldiers when they bought muskets. This is similar to the Eight Banners system in the early Qing Dynasty. In the early eight banners system, all horses and weapons were required to bring their own.

Such an army may be able to defeat enemies several times stronger than one's own with just a brave heart, but what if they are unable to fight back and are slaughtered in blood?

In the city, the Uzbeks gathered together into an army. When they heard the sound of horse hooves and the roar of "Kill An Jiyan people", they immediately fled in all directions.

The Chinese cavalry team had been scattered into a team of more than ten, with more than 30 people scattered in the city and rushed in. When they saw the Uzbeks wearing Turkic hats, they immediately cut them to death regardless of whether they had weapons or not.

...

Yakupu lived in Kashgar City for generations. He was twenty-five years old this year. He was a blacksmith with a thorny body and a famous strongman. However, he could not even protect his wife.

His wife Sharapeti was a famous beauty. On the day the people of Anjiyan broke the city, Sharapeti hid in the cellar and was not discovered by the bandits who robbed from house to house. After several months, Sharapeti only occasionally came out of the cellar to breathe, but was discovered by Anjiyan.

Today, an Anjiyan cavalry came to forge a saber, and then ran to the inner room to search for it, trying to search for some money for wine from the blacksmith, but he finally found the cellar. Listening to the screams of his wife from the cellar, Yakupu gasped violently, and suddenly, he held the hammer in his hand tightly. Just as he was about to rush down the cellar, he suddenly heard a loud bang outside, and many people were shouting "Kill Anjiyan people."

The bandits An Jiyan in the cellar seemed to be startled and hurriedly climbed up. But just as they opened the wooden door of the blacksmith shop and walked out, the knife flashed, and blood was sprayed on the wooden board, splashing into the blacksmith shop floor tiles. His people also slowly fell down, and a red cavalry flew past.

Yakupu, who had just comforted his wife, climbed up from the cellar, looked at the scene in surprise, and came to the door carefully. He looked out and saw thick smoke in the city, horses neighing and roaring, and the red-clothed cavalry rushed back and forth. The Anjiyan people, who were usually fierce and powerful in the city, were like a terrified rabbit, being chased and massacred.

The wooden door across the street was suddenly opened, and several young men walked out, holding sticks, swords and spears in their hands, "Yakup, go and kill Anjiyan people!" They screamed excitedly, and they all ran over quickly and went into the iron shop to find weapons to match. Yakuup knew them, and they were all friends from the oil mill opposite.

"Urip, are the cavalry in red clothes the descendants of Yamato Zhuo?" Yakupu asked in confusion. Although the rebellion of Hakka was quelled by the Central Plains, in the minds of many Uyghurs, Hakka was a hero who fought against the Central Plains. The suffering Kashgars hope that another hero like Hakka would appear, the leader, ascended the high ground and led them to drive away the Anjiyan people.

Urip spitted, "Bsuluk is a beast, a devil, he is no longer a child of our Tianshan Mountain!" Bsuluk is a puppet supported by the invasion of the Khanate of Kokhan. It is said to be a descendant of Yamato Zhuo's defeat and fleeing to Kokhan City. He is the great-grandson of Yamato Zhuo.

Urip pulled out the saber from the body of Anjiyan people lying on the threshold, waved it excitedly for a few times, and said, "I will use it." He turned around and shouted to Yakupu, "With the cavalry of the Central Plains Emperor, will you go?" Without waiting for Yakupu to answer, he turned around and ran out.

The Great Emperor of Central Plains, Yakupu, was stunned for a while, grabbed the hammer, and rushed out.

In Kashgar City, there were roars of "killing An Jiyan people!" everywhere. Countless Kashgar people wearing four-cornered flower hats rushed to the streets with sticks, swords and spears, and began to pay their blood debts from An Jiyan people.
