Liu Qin hid in the camp with the peasants and craftsmen. At this time, he held a binoculars and looked at the battlefield with a smile.
This battle is due to Liu Qin's contribution.
When Governor Mirza besieged the camp, Liu Qin analyzed the situation on both sides.
On the side of the Datong Army, there are 3,500 core elites.
On the Bukhara side, there are about 10,000 core elites.
The difference in the total strength of the two sides is not too far, both with a large number of tribal cavalry.
Those tribal cavalry are poorly equipped, have low morale, and have different ideas, so it is difficult for them to fight bloody battles.
But there is also a difference. The tribal cavalry who took refuge in the Datong Army really wanted to rebel in their hearts. The tribal cavalry following Governor Mirza were purely on errands, and they would run away 100% in the event of a bloody battle.
Liang Zhen listened to these words in his heart, so he had a specific plan.
Since the tribal cavalry didn't understand the order of the Datong Army, they just threw it out to disrupt the battle. Tens of thousands of cavalry on both sides are in chaos, and the width of the war is at least several miles, and the opponent's chief general can't even think about commanding remotely.
At the same time, all the Datong army lined up, and Liang Zhen used himself as a bait to attract the elite of Bukhara.
When the two sides were completely disrupted, everyone lost the chain of command. Then, Datong Xiaoqi rushed out without orders at all, and purely relied on blood to fight, attracting his own tribal cavalry to follow.
Five hundred Datong Xiaoqi, rushing like a snowball. Your own tribal cavalry don't need to understand the orders, just follow behind.
And the enemy's tribal cavalry, due to the previous chaos, had long been scattered around the battlefield. It is impossible to regroup, and it will definitely not be able to withstand such a charge, and it will be broken one by one like a knife cutting tofu.
There is only one loophole in the battle plan, that is, Governor Mirza, regardless of the Datong Army as a bait, directly led the elite cavalry to charge and kill the tribal cavalry from the very beginning. But fortunately, Mirza looked down on those miscellaneous troops and only thought about destroying the Datong Army.
At this moment, even the tribal cavalry who had been shot to pieces and had retreated to the edge of the battlefield rushed over under the leadership of the leader, wanting to join the Datong Xiaoqi's desperate charge.
There are too many cavalry charging, and the battlefield cannot be lined up at all.
Some tribal leaders took the initiative to go around and outflank the two sides, trying to eat all the elite of Governor Mirza.
Mirza didn't run away, and this fellow became furious.
He asked the cavalry musketeers and light cavalry to intercept Datong Xiaoqi's charge, and he personally led 3,000 heavy cavalry to kill the infantry led by Liang Zhen.
As long as the main force of the Datong Army is destroyed, as long as the main general of the Datong Army is killed, no matter how many troops are left, they will be defeated!
?Three thousand Bukhara heavy cavalry charged desperately, as unstoppable as an overwhelming mountain.
There were four to five thousand tribal cavalry who came to outflank. But in the face of the charge of three thousand heavy cavalry, the morale that had just been boosted fell to the bottom in an instant, and the tribal leaders hurriedly blew their horns to dodge.
Mirza held up his lance and shouted, "Long live the Great Khan, long live the Great Khan!"
"Long live the sweat!"
Three thousand heavy cavalry followed suit, but they didn't draw out their scimitars, and all of them held a spear in their hands.
The distance between the two sides was still two to three hundred meters, Liang Zhen shouted: "Hollow array!"
The command flag was waved, the bugle sounded, and the infantry of the Datong Army who were queuing up immediately stopped and quickly changed their formation.
The ground was shaking, and the charge of three thousand heavy cavalry was terrifying.
However, the soldiers of the Datong Army held their rifles steadily and looked at the enemy with a determined face.
Mirza's face showed a sinister smile, three thousand heavy cavalry charged three thousand infantry, and the enemy general even created a thin hollow formation. Mirza could imagine the ending. As long as his heavy cavalry rushed over, the infantry on the opposite side would panic and collapse.
Those who are scattered at a distance of thirty steps can be regarded as elites.
Those who collapsed at a distance of twenty steps can be called brave.
The one who fled only ten steps away was completely defiant.
The tribal cavalry who avoided the heavy cavalry charge did not go into battle at this moment, and they collectively looked at the infantry of the Datong Army.
A leader of Giligis muttered to himself: "It's over, we are going to lose."
There are only 20 steps left between the heavy cavalry and the hollow formation.
The soldiers of the Datong Army still stood where they were, and the tribal leaders, while terrified, were also deeply moved: The Chinese army is really not afraid of death!
Ten steps, only ten steps left.
The Datong Army was still in order, no one escaped, and no one fired.
Hollow formations can deal with cavalry, with emphasis on horses.
The shining bayonet forest can makeBy the way, who let those tribes help the governor to fight the war?
The chiefs of the Kyrgyz, Tajiks, and other weak ethnic groups all smiled happily. They resented the king and the Uzbeks. Since Liang Zhen said that massacres are allowed, they must kill all those who help the tyrants.
This is Liang Zhen's plan. He must weaken the strength of the Uzbeks and keep the three major ethnic groups in the basin in balance.
This idea came from Liu Qin.
Regardless of the fact that Liu Qin has never shown up, a few words can determine the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people.
After resting for a whole day, Liang Zhen set off with the coalition forces of various ethnic groups.
At the beginning, there were still rules, and the cities were laid down along the way, without killing innocent people indiscriminately.
But after reaching the west of the basin, the soldiers of all ethnic groups turned into wolves, because Liang Zhen said that they could kill them at will.
?Since the governor has been killed, those Uzbek tribes are in a state of disunity, and they have no power to resist in the face of the coalition forces of all ethnic groups. Tribes were slaughtered one after another, including women and children. A large amount of spoils were sent to Liang Zhen, and then distributed among the tribes participating in the battle.
The number of Uzbeks who died in wars and massacres is about 50,000 to 60,000, and it may be close to 70,000.
When attacking the city of Khujand, the soldiers of all ethnic groups were already red-eyed, and their morale was terribly high. Because this is the last city, if you take this place, you will be able to control the throat of the Basin, which is the last chance to grab the spoils.
Accompanied by the bombing of hot air balloons, soldiers of all ethnic groups desperately climbed the city, and when they rushed into the city, they killed indiscriminately.
Throughout the Fergana Basin, the imperial court only had four cities: Khujand, Andijan, Fergana, and Osh.
All of these four places will be stationed with troops, and outside the city, Han people will immigrate to settle down.
50,000 immigrants come here and occupy fertile land. As long as military deterrence is maintained, the Han Chinese can multiply to more than one million.
