The heroic feat of Wabashi, the leader of the Mongolian Turkic Department in Gansu and Longxi, shocked China and the western world at that time. As the Irish writer Dennis said in the book "The Tatar Rebellion", "Since the earliest historical records, there has not been such a sensational and exciting great cause as a major Tatar people fleeing eastward across the Asian grasslands in the second half of the last century."
In front of his wooden palace, Wabashi delivered an impassioned speech to everyone:
"Now that we have arrived in do or die, the choice of life or death is before us. A few days ago, I received news from the Queen of Russia. She asked me and tribal leaders to send my son to Moscow for education, and also asked another 10000 people to go to Turkey to fight. We can't stand it now. If we want to survive, we can only go to the eastern country-China, the sea of Wang Yang full of religion, Buddhism and water. As long as we sincerely adhere to our beliefs, we will eventually live next to the living Buddha who gives great blessings to all people. " As soon as the voice fell, the crowd cheered and shouted, "Our children and grandchildren will never be slaves. Let's go to the motherland where the sun rises. "
After the speech, Wabashi burned the palace behind him with fire, and the raging fire immediately reflected the cold sky on the east bank of the Volga River. In this way, thousands of women, children and old people in Turhuth left the foreign land where they lived for nearly a century and a half with their carriages, camels and sledges already prepared, under the protection of Turhuth cavalry. Let me explain here that because the Volga River was not frozen in those days, people on the west bank could only be left behind eagerly.
When Queen Catherine learned this news, she was furious and immediately sent a decree to punish Kishenkov, the official in charge of Turku affairs, and ordered the Turku people to return to the Volga grassland as much as possible.
Facing the aggressive pursuer behind him, Wo Baxi kept his troops in order and immediately divided into three ways. First, the elite troops led by Bamur and Sheren are the pioneers; first, the remaining lords led by Dashdun Dok and Tenzin Lama of Lausanne Ku are on both sides; and first, Wabashi and Ze bordo Le are behind the temple to block the enemy's pursuit. 1 29, they reached the bank of Yaik River (now ural river). On 30th and 3rd1day, they burned the Cossack strongholds that blocked their defense lines, such as Kulaskaya, kalmyk Cove, Moda Mountain and Sorochkov. On February 1 day, all teams crossed the Yaik River, entered the snow-capped kazakh steppe, and advanced towards the Emba River.
Shortly after Turgut set foot on kazakh steppe, the troops in the north outer wing were suddenly attacked by Kazakh cavalry. Due to the scattered formation, Turgut troops protected women and children in the middle and a large number of cattle and sheep. When attacked, because the front was too long to concentrate troops, hand-to-hand combat was launched and the enemy's attack was repelled. More than 9,000 soldiers died heroically and defended the safety of large troops with their lives. (Val? 6? 1 Hercynian Mongolia on the Volga River (page 5)
In mid-February, the Turhutt Brigade marched into Aoqin Gorge, which is an important pass for the eastward return. But the chasing Cossack troops have captured this mountain pass, and they will fall short if they don't annihilate the enemy. At this critical juncture, brave and resourceful Wabashi decisively organized five camel soldiers, personally led a team to attack the enemy from the front, and Romuald Peiser bordo Qi led a well-trained army to flank the rear road. Under the attack of Turhute soldiers, the Cossack army was quickly defeated and almost completely annihilated.
It was through this battle that the heroic image of Wabashi was established in the minds of all Turks.
