Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Qi Nuo and Bursai led more than a thousand surrendered soldiers to kneel on the flat ground beside the Heilongjiang River, waiting to welcome the guards who were crossing the river. Behind the flat ground was a dense elm forest. The name of Hailanpao means "elm home" in Manchu, and there were many elm trees growing there.

The guards took their time crossing the river in small boats, canoes and rafts. On the largest boat, Orros said to the Daur leader Kenzheuule beside him, "I thought we would have a tough battle here, but we didn't expect to capture this fortress without a single drop of blood. This is all thanks to you!"

"This is due to the great blessing of the emperor and the wise command of the commander-in-chief. I dare not take credit for it," Kenzhe Ule smiled happily and declined in a hurry.

"Don't be modest. I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Don't worry. Once this battle is over, I will report your contribution to the court," Orros laughed.

The ship docked and the well-trained guards quickly formed a battle formation.

"Gee~Gee~Gee~Whoa!" Orros mounted his warhorse, holding a big sword, and rode to Zino and Bursay with his legs, then sheathed the sword.

"Qino and Bursai of the Daurde Dule tribe come to see the commander-in-chief." The two were frightened by the murderous aura of this evil star and bowed respectfully.

Orros laughed loudly, dismounted from his horse and helped the two men up with his own hands, "I have heard that the two generals are brave warriors of the Daurdedule tribe. Now they have abandoned darkness and joined the light, making me even more powerful! We will have a celebratory banquet tonight, and I must not leave until I am drunk with the two generals."

"Thank you, Marshal. I and others have long wanted to surrender to Wei, but Mukunda (clan leader) Beibao and Mandai opposed it. We had no choice but to destroy the Qing for the sake of justice, kill Beibao and Mandai, and welcome the royal army." Seeing that the Wei commander was so approachable, Qinuo was very happy. He told Orros about his and others' merits in killing Beibao and Mandai, and at the same time tentatively mentioned that Mukunda Beibao of the Dedule tribe was dead and the tribe was leaderless.

As the head of the Tuerhut tribe, Orros naturally understood that whenever a tribal leader died on the grassland, the dignitaries in the tribe would fight for the whip. Qi Nuo wanted to use his own words to clarify his position as the head of a tribe. However, now is the time to use people, and the benefits should be given. Thinking of this, he laughed and said, "Qinuo, you are now the head of the David Guode Duledu, so you are naturally the Mukunda."

Hearing this, Zino was overjoyed and thanked him profusely. Orros suddenly looked gloomy, "Although our army has captured Hailanpao, I heard that the commander of Huliping Village, Halde, is quite capable of fighting. It may not be easy to attack Huliping Village."

"Don't worry, Marshal. I have a plan to trick the gate of the village open and help our army break into it." Qinuo, who had just been appointed as the captain of a thousand households and was clearly identified as a mukunda, was eager to make a contribution in front of his new master and volunteered.

"Oh, Captain Du, what good plan do you have?" "The Qing army is weak now, and is most afraid of rebellion by various tribes. If I ask Held for rewards and supplies in the name of riots in the army, he will certainly agree. And then use the name of collecting supplies to open the gate of the camp," Qino said calmly.

"Good! If you can help our army capture Huliping Village, I will remember your great merit!" Orros was overjoyed.

Huliping Village was a military stronghold in the Ming Dynasty. Later, Emperor Kangxi built the old city of Yuanhui on the site of the village to prevent the invasion of the Russian army. Although there was no city at that time, there were complete fortifications. There were deep trenches around the military village, and sharpened wooden fences were planted in front of the village wall. The village wall was very wide and had arrow slits on it, where soldiers could be stationed to defend. Originally, this place had been abandoned, but since the Qing-Wei war, the Qing army continued to strengthen the fortifications, and it has reached this scale.

There were originally 200 garrisons here. After being ordered by Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing Bahai to garrison here, Zhengbai Banner Jiala Zhangjing Haoerde unceremoniously incorporated the local garrison into his own camp, and his subordinates increased from 1,500 to 1,700. A few days ago, scouts discovered that a guard army had arrived at Yiwoqi on the west bank of the Nenjiang River. He immediately ordered the Daur people stationed in Hailanpao, north of Huliping Village, to be careful and alert, and ordered the Daur Zuoling Beibao to report military information every day. Hailanpao and Huliping Village are across the river. If the guard army wants to attack Huliping Village, it must first capture Hailanpao. As long as Hailanpao is still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, Huliping Village can rest assured. However, the military report from Hailanpao was not delivered yesterday, which really makes people a little uneasy!
"Zhang Jing, the military report from Hailanpao has arrived," Niulu Zhang Jing Ximinkot handed a military report to Held who was feeling anxious and worried.

"Damn it! Beibao dared to delay reporting the military situation for a day!" Halder took the military report angrily and read it. He couldn't help but frowned after reading it. It said that the court had been in arrears of rewards to the Daur people for several months. There was a riot in the Daur army yesterday. Beibao finally calmed the riot and quickly sent people across the river to report the news. In fact, since the Wei army captured Jinzhou and cut off the connection between the Qing army outside the pass and the inside of the pass, the logistics and supply of the Ningguta Qing army have been a big problem. Bahai relied on his prestige among the Ningguta tribes and hunted martens and robbed Korea to raise military supplies in every possible way, and he struggled to support it until now. Even so, the army can only guarantee the supply of military rations, and the salary is intermittent. It is normal to delay the rewards for meritorious soldiers. The descendants of the Eight Banners who were organized into banners were relatively safe, but those Sauron warriors who had no salary and fought only for rewards after meritorious service inevitably had complaints. It was only thanks to Bahai's prestige that no trouble was caused, but they did not expect a riot to break out yesterday.

"…In order to stabilize the military morale, I dare to ask Zhang Jing to allocate some beef, mutton and food to my unit…" Bei Bao requested in the military newspaper.

Seeing Bebao's request, the helpless Halder called the messenger who delivered the military report and asked: "How many people participated in the riot in your unit yesterday? Were there any casualties?"

"In reply to Zhang Jing, nearly half of our soldiers participated in the riot yesterday, and the captain had to work very hard to suppress it. Thanks to the blessing of Eternal Heaven, only nine people were injured and no one died," the messenger vividly recounted the situation at that time.

Seeing that there was no flaw in the messenger's words and that he was an acquaintance who often delivered letters, Halde believed what the military report said and said coldly: "You go back and tell Commander Beibao that you can send someone to the camp to collect ten cows, one hundred sheep, and fifty carts of wheat. Tell him that the court will never delay rewards for the Daur warriors, and will reward them immediately after defeating the Wei army."

"Yes, I will report your words to the captain," the messenger bowed and took his leave.
-
"How is it?" Qinuo asked anxiously, looking at the returning messenger. In order to convince the Qing army, he specially ordered an "acquaintance" who had delivered letters to the Qing army camp to act as a messenger.

"After hearing what the captain of the capital said, Halder did not suspect anything and agreed to allocate ten cows, one hundred sheep, and fifty carts of wheat to my tribe, and asked us to send someone to collect them," the messenger said respectfully.

"Okay! I will report to the commander-in-chief and we will break into the camp tomorrow," Qi Nuo was overjoyed. (End of this chapter)
