乌兰布通之战再考

The Second Studies of Campaign of Ulaan-butung

乌兰布通之战是一场胜负未明的战争。此战清军伤亡多于准噶尔军,而且在形势对清军有利的情况下,致使噶尔丹逃逸,失去一举歼灭的机会,导致康熙三次亲征,付出了巨大的代价。

The battle of Ulaan-butung was a fight with no clear winner and loser at the end. In the battle, the Qing suffered from heavier causalities than their rival in fact. Even when the Qing troop had advantageous position, they lost opportunity to wipe out the Galdan completely, since the latter escaped from the ground successfully. As a cost for the loss, Kangxi had to initiate three expeditions to Mongolian area to defeat Galdan.
