Branagh is an old castle east of Bishkek. From the Tang Dynasty, she had names such as Sailye (Tang Dynasty), Balashaguen (Karakhanate), and Husioerduo (Western Liao Dynasty). Because she controlled the Isek Lake, the Tianshan Mountains and the important roads entering the Bishkek prairie, her geographical location was very important.

Due to the ruins, Chechen has established a camp after obtaining this place, but now it is occupied by the sudden appearance of 10,000 elite cavalry of Haddadi!

After Hadadi occupied this place, he immediately asked all the light cavalry to dispatch, burn, kill and loot everywhere in units of thousands of cavalry, and finally alarmed Chechnya, which was still fighting ahead.

However, the first one appeared was the Erdeni army sent by Sengge.

When Haddadi occupied Branagh, since the area was surrounded by enemy territory and reinforcements arrived at any time, he asked his most elite five thousand Uzbek heavy armored cavalry to defend this place, and only let the light cavalry plunder everywhere could have two effects - one is that once the enemy is encountered, the light cavalry will quickly warn, and in addition, plunder everywhere in units of thousands of cavalry, even if he suddenly encounters the enemy, he will still have the power to fight.

Haddadi's wishful thinking came true. When Sengge's cousin Robuzan Gelinqin appeared with the three thousand elite cavalry as a pioneer, Haddadi, who was in Brana, soon realized it.

He quickly ordered the surrounding light cavalry to return to Brana immediately, and he personally brought five thousand heavy cavalry to fight Robuzan Grinqin.

No surprise, his Uzbek heavy armored cavalry had not participated in the battle with the Junggars in recent years because he wanted to deter the Bukhara Khanate and the Mongol Khanate, and had maintained a basically complete organization.

Furthermore, these heavily armored cavalry were collected by Galantos from Bukhara, Fergana, Yarkand, Ghazni and even Persia. Some of them were pagans (the dispute over the White Mountains of the Yarkand, the dispute between Sunnis and Shiites in other regions), some were expelled by tribes (the tribes of Afghanistan oppressed by the Montenegro Khanate), and some were entire small tribes (the Uzbek and Turkmen tribes ruled by the Bukhara, Shiva Khanate).

At the beginning, they were all slaves of Galantos, but after the war to save the Bukhara Khanate and the Mongol Khanate, they all became Galantos' guards, that is, a few professional soldiers with salaries, some similar to the Turks in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

Many of the officers also owned pastures and farmlands in the jurisdiction of the Governor General of Tashkent. Since Tashkent controlled the Silk Road, Galantos was not short of money and could naturally pay the salary of his guards. In addition to this army, the remaining cavalry were drawn from the two major tribes of Wusun and Alban, which he controlled. Some of them were standing troops, and some were military service.

Among the ten thousand people led by Hadadi, except for the five thousand heavily armored cavalry, all the rest were young and strong from Wusun and Alban.

No surprise, Haddadi's five thousand heavily armored cavalry gave Robuzan Grinqin a blow? He won him in the Battle of Brana, and in the end, Luo Buzang only fled back with about half of his men.

Erdeni (Sengge's brother-in-law) was shocked when he learned about it. His first reaction was: "Why are there Kazakhs here too?!"

"Have they defeated Chechnya? They also set up a net of heaven and earth, waiting for reinforcements to drill into it?"

So? On the one hand, he sent a flying cavalry to Tacheng to report the situation here to Sengge, and on the other hand, he contracted the remaining more than 10,000 cavalry together? He slowly moved closer to Brana.

Luckily? His scout captured Haddadi's tribal cavalry for a loss. After interrogation, he learned that the Talas ahead was still fighting? Haddadi's journey was just a surprise soldier.

Now Erdeni hesitated? First of all, he did not know the specific situation of Chechnya ahead. For him and the Sengge behind him, it is certainly possible to weaken Chechnya, but Chechnya was defeated or even destroyed, because Brana firmly controlled the road to Bishkek and Talas? Erdeni wanted to get detailed information, and besides defeating the enemy in front of him, he could only detour northward.

Because Hadadi came from the south, it goes without saying that the strongholds of the Junggar people in the Chuhe Canyon have been removed by the enemy, so it is definitely not possible to go around the mountains in the south.

When he thought about the evil consequences of the destruction of the Chechen tribe, Erdeni did not hesitate too much and immediately launched an attack on the Hadadi cavalry in the ruins of Brana.

The so-called ruins are naturally impossible to be too high. Most of them are two or three feet tall, and there are many gaps that can be directly in and out. Erdeni's cavalry is still an old routine. A large group of cavalry rushed past, and a large number of arrows were thrown like rain and aimed at the gap!

Inside, Haddadi was also thinking nervously.

"Although the total number of enemy cavalry on the opposite side is slightly higher than that on their own, there are not much more. Besides, they are all light cavalry. Instead of staying in and shooting against them, it is better to fight out and fight to the death!"

Haddadi went out with heavy cavalry.

However, Erdeni is obviously more sophisticated than Chechnya. When he saw a large group of heavy cavalry with bright armor coming out from the opposite side, he did not go forward and acted recklessly, but ran away.

While running, they turned back to shoot arrows, just like their ancestors showed their skills in Europe.

Erdeni is embarrassed now. If he continues to chase after this, his heavy cavalry will definitely not be able to escape the light cavalry. Even if he tries hard to catch up, his combat power will be greatly reduced by then.

But if you just return to Branagh like this, what will happen?

He came up with a solution.

He asked the heavy cavalry to hide the armor in his robe, about two thousand, following behind the three thousand light cavalry and keeping a certain distance from the light cavalry, but the three thousand light cavalry cannot be faked. Erdeni is not a famous general, nor is he a hero like Batuer and Gushikhan, who is probably not even as good as Zhuotbatuer, the best of the generation of Wei Lat, and Sengge.

He was fooled. When he saw the enemy using light cavalry to chase him, he immediately threw ten thousand cavalry into it. This place was already seventy miles east of Branagh, and it was unlikely that the enemy's heavy cavalry would catch up at this speed.

Therefore, near the Kaiming City of Kyrgyzstan in later generations, the two sides fought a great battle, and 10,000 Junggar light cavalry surrounded three thousand Yuzi light cavalry!

Just like the common battles between the two sides in the past fifty years, when the entire Kazakh cavalry was wiped out, two thousand cavalrymen who had been in front of them for an hour had arrived.

However, this was also under Erdeni's calculations. He immediately asked the 10,000 Junggar light cavalry who besieged the three thousand Yuzi light cavalry to dispatch three thousand cavalry to deal with the two thousand reinforcements who were rushing over.

A big battle began in Kaiming.

At this time, the Wusun and Alban light cavalry in Dayuzi suddenly burst out with amazing combat power, because they knew that under the siege of the Junggars, if they did not fight desperately, the annihilation of the entire army would be their only end. Under the rule of Galantos in recent years, the jurisdiction of Tashkent has been generally stable. They almost all have complete families and have family happiness, but they don’t want to lose it just like this.

Therefore, when the two thousand heavy cavalry coming from behind defeated the Junggar light cavalry that was approaching, and tore a hole in the enemy besieging Dayuzi light cavalry, letting themselves stand with the light cavalry, only half of the cavalry, which was originally a huge number of 5,000 were left.

But at this time, the mission of the two thousand heavy cavalry had been completed.

Because Haddadi told them that he would personally bring the remaining cavalry to this place, but before that, their five thousand cavalry would have to last at least half a day.

Haddadi had his idea of ​​making such arrangements.

Because Erdeni came from the alpine valley north of Lake Isek, although it could drive there, the road was narrow but rugged and difficult to travel, and the speed was absolutely impossible. Since they could pass this road to the Bishkek prairie, they had made up their idea of ​​not retreating easily.

Near Kaiming, the only possible place for both sides to engage in large-scale cavalry wars!

His cavalry did not disappoint his hopes. When the day was approaching dusk, the two sides were still fighting fiercely. Of course, at this time, there were only more than a thousand cavalry left in the Dayuzi cavalry, and the destruction was instantly imminent, but Hadardi finally arrived!

Haddadi also had more than 2,000 heavy cavalry and more than 1,000 light cavalry under his command. At this time, he personally led all four thousand cavalry to kill them!

At this time, Erdeni had nearly 8,000 cavalry under his command, and the number was still twice that of the other party. However, the other party was a new force, and his eight thousand cavalry had fought hard for half a day.

So, the two sides fought repeatedly near Kaiming. When the sky was completely dark, they finally stopped and retreated together, finding places close to the water source and higher terrain to camp.

Both sides suffered heavy losses in this battle. After this battle, only about 3,000 cavalry left by Haddadi, while the 15,000 cavalry brought by Erdeni also suffered heavy losses, and only about 7,000 cavalry left by combat power.

Such a tragic situation was common in the past when the two sides fought, and was even more common in the era of Yesmukhan. In the past, when this situation came, both sides would retreat and wait for the battle to come.

Haddadi and Erdeni thought so, but now they are all cramped in the Grand Canyon with the Arata Mountains in the north and the Tianshan Mountains in the south. Continue to go west to Bishkek and Talas. To the south, you can cross the steep canyon of Chu River to the west or south of Lake Isek, and to the east there is a path along the alpine valley.

For Erdeni, he had lost so many people and had not yet figured out the situation in Chechnya, which was intolerable. Therefore, he could not retreat, and he was waiting for Haddadi to retreat.

He already knew that Haddadi came from the Chuhe Canyon, and the distance between Tianshan Mountain and Alata Mountain was wide enough. If the two sides had a tacit understanding and Haddadi knew each other, he would definitely do this.

However, Hadadi did not retreat because Ya'an had sent someone to pass on the conversation to him before.

"Anyway, if an enemy appears, you have to persevere, and my troops will appear soon."

Haddadi returned to the ruined city of Brana. The only intact building in the ruined city was a prayer tower used by ordinary herders. After losing seven thousand cavalry, Haddadi's heart was bleeding. He had just prayed for an hour on the prayer tower before he staggered to stand up.

The starry sky on the grassland is brilliant and the moon is bright. Haddadi closed his eyes.
