On the steep slopes in the west of Jungar, campfires flickered and battle flags fluttered. General Fuquan frowned, looking at the enemy camp in the distance, his heart full of anxiety. Ever since he led his army to this desolate land, the war with the Jungar tribe has been like a haze hanging over the hearts of every soldier.

As night fell, the stars shone brightly, but they could not hide the strong smell of gunpowder and the tense atmosphere on the battlefield. Fuquan originally planned to adopt a flanking attack strategy in the hope of defeating the enemy in one fell swoop. However, he had never expected that the Junggar tribe actually had muskets imported from Tsarist Russia. The dense firepower poured down like a storm, instantly shattering his plan.

War drums were deafening, shouts of killing were heard one after another. In the fierce battle, the uncle of the emperor, Tong Guowei, was unfortunately injured, and his armor was stained red with blood. This scene made Fu Quan feel heartbroken. He knew that the battle had reached a stalemate, and if he did not come up with a countermeasure, the consequences would be disastrous.

Tong Guowei covered his wounded body and said weakly, "What should we do now? We can't attack by force anymore. The terrain is favorable to them, and they have Russian guns. We have no chance of winning now."

Fuquan knew it, but he couldn't just sit there and wait for death. "So what do you say we should do?"

Just as Fuquan was lost in thought, the sound of hurried horse hooves suddenly came from afar. In a blink of an eye, General Fei Yanggu led an elite musket team to the battlefield. His arrival was like a ray of dawn in the dark night, bringing new hope to the demoralized soldiers.

Fei Yanggu eagerly asked about the battle situation, "What is the situation now?" Fuquan told him the situation on the battlefield in detail. Then, Fuquan's eyes fell on the muskets brought by Fei Yanggu. He found that these muskets were different in style and seemed to be more sophisticated.

He couldn't help but ask about the origin of the musket, "Where did you get this musket? It's so fine."

Fei Yanggu smiled slightly and replied proudly: "These fire guns were researched by my third son Fucun himself."

Hearing this, Fuquan could not help but marvel. Fucun was so young, yet he had achieved such success in firearms manufacturing. He was truly a rare talent.

"With these muskets of yours, I think we will be able to win a great victory this time."

"I hope so."

With the addition of this musket team, the situation on the battlefield changed immediately. The morale of the soldiers was greatly improved, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

Fei Yanggu quickly formulated a new battle plan based on the situation on the battlefield. He ordered the fire gun team to ambush on the high ground on the flank, taking advantage of the terrain to launch a fierce fire suppression on the camp of the Junggar tribe. At the same time, he also sent elite cavalry troops to bypass the enemy's rear and launch a surprise attack.

As the dawn approached, the battle broke out again. The soldiers of the Jungar tribe were thrown into disarray under the fierce firepower. Fuquan seized the opportunity and personally led the army to charge. In the fierce battle, they gradually gained the upper hand and eventually forced the Jungar soldiers to retreat.

After the battle, Fuquan and Fei Yanggu stood side by side on the high ground, looking at the fleeing enemies in the distance. The joy of victory was overflowing on the faces of every soldier. They knew that the victory of this battle was inseparable from the excellent musket developed by Fucun, and even more inseparable from their joint efforts and beliefs.

……

Kangxi's side.

The glow of the sky gradually faded, and Kangxi led the princes on the journey to pursue Galdan. The sound of their horses' hooves echoed across the vast grassland, eager and determined. The eldest prince Yinzhen, with an uneasy heart, was eager to perform well in this pursuit, to prove his ability and value to Kangxi, and to surpass the prince who sat firmly in the East Palace.

As the night deepened, the sky was dotted with stars. Yinzhen's patience wore thin, and he desperately urged his mount to catch up with Galdan.

However, Yinzhi did not expect that the pursuit on the grassland was not as simple as he imagined. Galdan was cunning and used the terrain to set traps one after another.

Suddenly, there were hooves and shouts of killing coming from the front, and Yinzhen's heart tightened, realizing that he might have fallen into an enemy ambush. He tried to tighten the reins, but it was too late, and an elite Jungar cavalry team surrounded him.

"Protect the eldest prince!" With Yinzhen's anxious shout, his figure flashed from the darkness, followed by the guards of other princes. However, Yinzhen had been surrounded by the enemy and the situation was precarious.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Yinzhen remembered the musket that Yi Ya had given him before he left. He quickly took out the musket from his arms and aimed it at Galdan's arm. There was a flash of fire and a deafening sound of gunfire. Galdan was hit and his arm was covered in blood. Galdan had no time to resist and quickly fled with his men.

The Junggar soldiers were caught off guard by this sudden change and retreated. Yinzhen took the opportunity to break free, jumped on his horse, and joined Yinzhen and others.

Emperor Kangxi rushed over upon hearing the news and saw Yinzhi's frightened look. He said, "Yinzhi, you are too reckless."

Seeing that Kangxi looked unhappy, Yinzhi did not dare to say anything and just stayed aside silently.

Thinking of Yinzhen's heroic act just now, Kangxi's eyes flashed with approval. He looked at Yinzhen deeply, then turned to the other princes and said, "Tonight's experience is a test for you. Remember, courage and wisdom are equally important, and unity and cooperation are the key to defeating the enemy."

The princes bowed their heads, their hearts filled with awe and gratitude. They understood that this pursuit of Galdan was not only a pursuit of Galdan, but also a training for their own growth.

The night gradually faded away, and the dawn began to appear in the east. Emperor Kangxi led the princes to continue the journey of chasing Galdan. They knew that the road ahead was still full of unknowns and dangers, but as long as they had faith and united as one, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

……

On the other hand, Fu Quan and Fei Yanggu were both excited and nervous after their victory. They were excited because they had successfully completed the mission, but they were nervous because they didn't know what Emperor Kangxi would think of their performance. They brought with them a lot of spoils of war - weapons and flags of Galdan's army, as well as some captured prisoners, which were all testimonies of their victory.

After several days of marching, they finally joined the army of Emperor Kangxi. Emperor Kangxi stood on a high place, looking into the distance, with the neatly-organized Qing army behind him and the returning victors in front of him.

Fu Quan and Fei Yanggu dismounted and knelt before Emperor Kangxi. Their voices were full of respect and pride: "Your Majesty, we have won! Galdan's army has been defeated by us. We have captured prisoners and seized a large number of weapons."

Emperor Kangxi turned around and looked at the two generals in front of him, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

He walked forward, helped Fu Quan and Fei Yanggu up, and said, "You have done a great job. I am proud of you. This victory not only proves your bravery and wisdom, but also shows the might of the Qing army."

Fuquan and Feiyanggu smiled with joy, knowing that their efforts were recognized by Emperor Kangxi. They were filled with gratitude and respect, and were determined to continue fighting for Emperor Kangxi, the Qing Dynasty, and this land.

This victory was not only a military victory, but also a great encouragement to Fuquan and Fei Yanggu. They understood that only by uniting as one and moving forward courageously could they create more glory. The support and affirmation of Emperor Kangxi was the most powerful driving force on their way forward.
