Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Nine The Gurkha War

If Zhao Liang was asked to evaluate Gan Xiaosi's ten-dimensional martial arts, no matter whether it was the Great Jinchuan, the Great Junggar, the Great Hezhuo, or the war with Myanmar and Annan, the impression was not as good as the war against Gurkha.

Although the Qing army still suffered losses in this war and the losses were still large, Fu Kangan was also blinded by the successive victory, thinking that Kathmandu was about to go down. Despite the exhaustion of troops and food, the light army advanced rashly and launched a fierce battle with the Gurkha army on the Krgula Mountain.

It was raining heavily and the road was slippery. The Gua Army occupied favorable terrain and was condescending, and the guns were fired at once. The Qing army suffered heavy losses. At this time, another Gua Army came to support across the river. The Qing army was attacked from both sides and suffered heavy losses. Thanks to Hailancha's leadership of the Iron Cable Bridge and retreated several times, Fukang'an was able to retreat. In this battle, the Qing army suffered heavy losses and suffered many casualties. The commander-in-chief Taifeiyinga, the deputy commander of the Mongolian in Yinghongqi, and others were killed. In addition, the weather became colder, and the Qing army's logistics supply was at its limit and he was unable to launch an attack.

However, the previous series of major defeats also made the Gurkha clearly realize his weakness and their strength could not compete with the Qing Dynasty in full.

The Qing army in front of us was just a small one among the countless armies of the Qing Dynasty. They used the terrain to force the other party to retreat. The next year, after the people rectified their troops, they could continue to fight.

Therefore, they were determined to seek peace and surrender, and sent important officials to bring a large amount of cattle, sheep, food and grass to the Fukang'an military camp to negotiate.

This war is certainly not perfect.

To a certain extent, it is similar to the Qing Dynasty's battle against Myanmar and Annan. They both win first and then lose, and they all lose in terms of food and geographical advantages.

The only thing that Zhao Liang liked Fu Kang'an was that he had the least soldiers under him.

Moreover, this favorite Qianlong's minister was ordered from Xining in December, and rushed to Lhasa on a starry night, and reported to Qianlong what he saw and heard along the way. It was winter, and the army of Fukang'an was advancing. The route was passing by a cold and desolate and rugged plateau, with a journey of 5,000 miles (some say 4,000 miles), and it took only 50 days to reach Lhasa.

This is something that has to be admired.

And just twenty years after this war, the British began the war to invade Gurkha. Gurkha was defeated again, but although he was defeated, he at least resisted for two years.

Zhao Liang once linked these two irrelevant points. Perhaps he was young at that time, or perhaps he was stimulated by the poor record of the late Qing Dynasty, and he inexplicably felt a sense of awesomeness.

The favorability for Fukang'an has increased greatly.

Even though I learned a little bit later that the war between Gurkha and Johnniu turned out to be a third of his land, the capital also had a Governor's Office, which became a colony in one step, which was completely different from the agreement signed with the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, the Gurkha royal family will resist until the end.

But he always looked at Fu Kangan in his heart.

So he warned himself several times that he must not make the same mistake.

Fu Kangan's performance is not bad. Even if he loses for a while in the end, it is imperfect after all, isn't it?

And what he asked for was perfection!

He completely defeated the Gurkha people.

As long as the Gurkhas are well aware of their ability, they will have their place in Mexico in the future.

...

The climate in mid-June is much better than the weather in the cold winter.

Moreover, Chen Jun did more than the Qing army in logistics.

But even so, it took the foreman to arrive in Lhasa for two months.

It was already August, and the Himalayas were already snowing, and there was no need for the Tibetan army to exert force. The Gurkha army, which had not attacked Lhasa several times, retreated to Shigatse.

They are not fools either, so of course they know the news that Chen Jun has arrived.

The first to arrive in Lhasa was the cavalry unit led by Yang Lei, but the faster marching speed was the proclamation issued by Chen Jun.

Brookba (Bhutan), Tsemeng Xiong (Sikkim) and Zuomang from outside the world sent troops to attack Gurkha. His tone was very strict!

Of course this has no effect.

At least you open your head first, win a few victories, let other countries see, and then everyone attacks again?

Now that you have not issued one shot or another, the letter of edict has been sent out first. Isn’t this a bit nonsense?

I wonder if these countries have not submitted their statement to Emperor Zhao yet?

In theory, they have nothing to do with Da Chen, so why are you going to let this go?

But I didn't know that this was simply what Meng Can did intentionally.

Because Zhao Liang wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to completely attack some vassal states in the Himalayas.

Now I’m sending a letter to you, aren’t you?

When the Gurkha was repaired and the army turned its fingers at them, would they still turn a deaf ear?

Even Yang Lei and Yang Yuchun didn't care about the reactions of other troops at all. After resting for a while, the army immediately advanced towards Shigatse.

Why not go?

The Gurkha people ran away.

They drove the Gurkha army back to the borders of the two countries without any blood.

Then he launched an attack on the Nyalam East Guanzhai without stopping.

The Gurkha people had built fortifications and built several stone forts, but none of them were useful.

The yak team dragged heavy artillery.

Ten kilograms of heavy cannon.

The power is almost equivalent to the twelve-pound cannons in the West.

Therefore, all Muzha Stone Fortresses are vulnerable.

Luo Siju led his army to the first step, and killed the generals of the Gua Army, Mabaga and stepped onto the Ba.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Siju conquered the northwest blockbuster of Nyalam's Gurk army, captured the nephew of Gurkha general Mamusaye, and recovered the entire territory of Nyalam.

The Gurkhas' military equipment was similar to that of the Burmese Army. They were equipped with a considerable number of flintlock guns, and the soldiers dared to fight. Anyway, their combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of the Eight Banners soldiers.

But like the Burmese and Annan people, they all lack cannons.

At least the number of artillery is far less than that of Chen Jun.

And the Gurkha army seemed to have never encountered a rocket strike.

When Chen's rocket troops kept hitting rockets into their camp far away from them, it was difficult for the Guer Air Force to maintain its position.

Then Chen Jun's cannon began to rush.

This is the combat order of Chen Jun.

First, rockets wash the ground, then cannons bombard, then infantry attack, and cavalry wings surrounded. If necessary, a partial division will be divided into a circle!

In a word, the tactics are simple and the effect is very powerful.

Cooperating with the Chen army's sufficient logistics supplies, the Gurkha army suffered repeated defeats in the Nyalam area. So they simply retreated.

In other words, in just one month, most of the time was still in the marching process, and Chen's army completely drove out the Gurkha army.

Of course, this year's battle ends here.

If you want to fight again, you have to wait for the next year.
