"His Excellency Damaula, the Chinese are too arrogant. They actually want to destroy the Khanate. The people of the Khanate will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Khanate be destroyed. We will fight the Chinese to the end and let them see our strength!" Agubo, commander-in-chief of the Khanate, said angrily. Niu Zhiyang, the diplomatic representative of the Chinese Empire, made him very dissatisfied.

The Great Maulla Alimukur was also very angry, but it was not shown. The Chinese Empire was simply too bullying. Not only did he kill thousands of people of the Kokhan Khanate, but he also wanted to cede land and pay compensation. He treated the Kokhan Khanate as a defeated country.

However, if war begins, can the Khanate of Kokhan win? The Second Army of the Imperial Army alone has more than 300,000 troops. Their weapons are excellent and cannot be compared with the Khanate of Kokhan. Once war begins, the Khanate of Kokhan will lose more than win!

However, now the Khanate of the Kokhan Kingdom seems to have been forced into a desperate situation. This time the Chinese Empire is coming in full force, and it is obvious that it will not let the Khanate of the Kokhan Kingdom go easily. The Khanate of the Kokhan Kingdom will have to fight without fighting!

"Aguber, if we fight the Chinese Empire with all our might, can we win?" Alimukur asked.

"This, Lord Great Mullah. The Chinese Empire is very strong, but with the blessing of Allah, we will definitely win!" Aguber said. Even the Russians are no match for the Chinese Empire. They have lost millions of troops, not to mention the Kokhan Khan. The Kokhan Khan, which has a population of only four million, has only more than 100,000 troops. Even if the army is expanded and the total number of troops is expanded to 200,000, it is still unable to compare with the 2nd Army of the Imperial Empire. Not to mention being enemies of the entire Chinese Empire.

"The Chinese are aggressive now. They simply want to annex the Khanate of the Kokhan and even the entire Central Asia. We have no choice but to fight to the end, and we can only fight to the end. It is impossible for me not to completely defeat the Chinese Empire. As long as we can defeat the invading Chinese Empire's army, we can take the opportunity to negotiate with the Chinese Empire. Even if we pay a certain price, we must let the Chinese give up annexing us!" Alimukur said. Although he is old, he is very wise. He knows that the gap between the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate

"My Lord Maulah, this is very difficult. But we will work hard. I believe that with the blessing of Allah, we will be invincible!" Aguber said firmly.

Alimukur nodded, but he was still very worried. Once the war begins, compared with the powerful Chinese Empire, the chances of winning of the Kokhan Khanate are too small!

Colonel Niu Zhiyang only gave the Khanate three days to consider. However, after three days, the Khanate still did not make a clear statement. However, this has given the Chinese Empire a result of a war.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire formally declared war on the Kokhan Khanate on the matter of herders from the Kokhan Khanate crossing the border, robbing the empire's pastures and killing the people of the empire. The imperial emperor Long Yufei issued an order, requiring the General Staff to dispatch troops to destroy the Kokhan Khanate and stabilize the borders in the western part of the empire.

The people of the empire had no objection to this war. Many people didn't even know where the Kokhan Khan was. They only learned in the general newspaper that the Kokhan Khan was just a small country in Central Asia. A small country with a population of only a few million dared to provoke the empire. Isn't that seeking death? Almost all the people of the empire believe that with the strong strength of the imperial army, it would be easy to destroy the Kokhan Khan Khan. After all, over the years, the empire has been constantly winning, and the people have become numb.

Ili, Xinjiang, the Imperial Army 2nd Army Command. According to the combat plan that had been formulated, the various units of the Imperial Army 2nd Army have entered designated positions.

"Commander, Commander Liu has arrived in Kashgar. The 7th Infantry Army is ready!" A staff officer reported to Lieutenant General Zhao Mingfu, commander of the 2nd Army.

"Well, send telegrams to each department, and tomorrow, each department will start attacking. Be sure to destroy the Khanate of Kokhan in one fell swoop!" Lieutenant General Zhao Mingfu punched the table with a heavy punch. This is the first battle after the establishment of the Second Army. It must be won in one battle. Otherwise, wouldn't it be disappointed to His Majesty the Emperor's trust?

"Yes, commander!" The staff officer nodded and immediately went to convey the order, with a very excited expression. Soldiers always longed for war and made achievements in the war.

This time, the 2nd Army Group will attack the Kokhan Khanate in two ways. The 5th Infantry Army, led by Lieutenant General Zhao Mingfu, the 3rd Cavalry Army, the 4th Cavalry Army, the two border guard cavalry brigades and four border guard infantry brigades are the Northern Route Army, with a total force of about 150,000. The 7th Infantry Army, led by Lieutenant General Liu Wu, the 4th Infantry Army, and the 6 border guard infantry brigades are the Southern Route Army, with a total force of about 100,000.

The Northern Army will set off from Ili, advance west along the Ili River, bypass the Chongshan north of the Fergana Basin, appear in the western part of the Fergana Basin, and attack the Fergana Basin from the west. The Southern Army will set off from Kashgar, pass directly through the Palacio, and attack the eastern part of the Fergana Basin.

The northern army has the farthest distance and takes thousands of kilometers to detour. However, the terrain along the way is flat and suitable for cavalry attacks. Although the southern army has a short distance, it is full of mountains and ridges along the way, and most of the roads are mountain paths, which are very difficult to walk.

The news that the Imperial Army's 2nd Army formally sent troops was soon spread to the Khanate of Kokhan. In the northwest of the empire, there were many Russian and British spies active. This place is far from the empire's hinterland and is also a place where the power of the Imperial Ministry of Homeland Security and the Military Intelligence Bureau is weak. None of the Imperial Army can be concealed by the surrounding countries.

After learning the relevant news, the British and Russian spies informed the Khanate of Kokhan as soon as possible.

"His Excellency Da Mullah, the 200,000 troops are ready. We can set out at any time and teach those Chinese people a lesson!" Agubo's face was full of anger. The army of the Chinese Empire had already invaded the Khanate of Kokhan and was invading their country and killing their people.

"Order the troops to set off! No matter what, we must find a way to defeat the Chinese attack. Only in this way can we be qualified to negotiate with the Chinese!" Alimukur's expression was solemn. This war is very important for the Kokhan Khanate. If it wins, the Kokhan Khanate may continue to exist. But if it fails, the Kokhan Khanate will be completely finished.

"Yes, Lord Great Maulla, I will try my best to win!" Aguber promised.

"Have there been any response from the Bukhara Khanate and the Shiva Khanate?" Alimukur asked.

"His Excellency Maulla, the Bukhara Khanate and the Shiva Khanate are both afraid of the Chinese and dare not join forces with us."

"Those short-sighted guys. After the fall of the Kokhan Khanate, how could the Chinese let them go!" Alimukur roared angrily. Although there were deep conflicts between the Khanate of Central Asia, especially the Kokhan Khanate and the Bukhan Khanate. Before the establishment of the Kokhan Khanate, the Fergana Basin was originally the territory of the Bukhan Khanate. As a result, the Fergana Basin separated from the Bukhan Khanate and established its own country, which greatly damaged the strength of the Bukhan Khanate.

In Alimukur's view, when Central Asia is invaded by foreign enemies, the three Khanates should unite and jointly deal with the invasion of the Chinese Empire. In this way, the chances of victory will be greater. However, the Bukhara Khanate and the Shiva Khanate refused to cooperate with the Kokhan Khanate, obviously just wanted to watch the Kokhan Khanate be destroyed.

The news that the Chinese Empire marched into Central Asia did not have any impact on the whole world. For the Western world, Central Asia is just an uncivilized barbarian land, and it is no big deal. Instead of caring about the war in Central Asia, it is better to pay attention to when the Suez Canal will be opened and how countries will distribute the interests of the canal after it is opened.

Only Britain and Russia pay attention to this war. If the Chinese Empire annexed Central Asia, it would directly pose a threat to Russia and the British Indian colonies. Therefore, Britain and Russia tried their best to help the Khanate of Kokhan and sold weapons to the Khanate of Kokhan at a low price, in order to give the Khanate of Kokhan the strength to resist the invasion of the Chinese Empire.

On July 6, 1849, 250,000 troops of the 2nd Army of the Empire crossed the border and attacked the Khanate of Kokhan. The army marched in two directions, and it was as if they had entered a no-man's land, without any obstruction at all.

Faced with the invasion of the Chinese Empire, the Khanate of Kokhan seemed to have given up its resistance. However, according to the news sent back by the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau, the Khanate of Kokhan reduced all its troops in the Fergana Basin, preparing to wait for the effort there to fight against the imperial army.

For the Khanate of Kokhan, the Fergana Basin is the most important place and is the core of the Khanate of Kokhan. Eighty percent of the country's population lives in the Fergana Basin. If the Fergana Basin is preserved, the Khanate of Kokhan has the opportunity to rise again. Otherwise, the Khanate of Kokhan will be destroyed.

Before the war began, the Khanate of Kokhan had only more than 100,000 troops, almost all cavalry. After the Chinese Empire threatened the Khanate of Kokhan, the Khanate of Kokhan once again recruited more than 100,000 people to join the army, making the total size of the army reach 200,000.
