Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 1026: Qinuo’s plan to earn Held’s money

Seventy small boats carried more than a thousand warriors across the Jieya River (Jingqili River). Because they were afraid of exposing the fact that the guards had arrived and occupied Hailanpao, Orros did not let his own ships enter the Jieya River from the Heilongjiang River as a tool for the army to cross the river, but relied on the seventy small boats owned by the Daur people to cross the river. Because only more than a thousand people could be crossed at a time, it took more than half a day to cross the river for the entire army. He knew that this was a desperate battle. If he could not occupy the Qing army's stronghold Hulipingzhai, his army would be in danger due to the lack of tools for crossing the river. But this battle had to be fought. The Khan's military order to himself was to conquer the tribes along the Heilongjiang River and cut off the retreat of the Ningguta Qing army. If the nail of Hulipingzhai was not pulled out, it would be an impossible task to go down the Heilongjiang River.

"Warriors! Fight to the death for the Kingdom of David and to make your loved ones proud of you!" The burly chief roared.

"Haorui~Haorui~Haorui~"

After the cheers, Qi Nuo and Bursai led 1,100 Daur surrendered soldiers to the front, followed by Kenzhe Ule, Dular, and Samakir with 2,500 Daur, Ewenki, and Oroqen soldiers. The chief of the capital Shangdu Batur and Bobush led 2,000 elite soldiers to fight in the third battle. Orros and Jambi led 3,000 elite soldiers as the central army, and Arsleng and Enhesen led 2,500 Barhu soldiers as the rear army. In order to prevent the Qing army from getting suspicious, the army hid when approaching Huliping Village, and only Qi Nuo led 500 Daur warriors to continue to walk towards the village gate.

It was already dark, but the walls of the fortress were lit with torches and oil lamps. The Qing soldiers on duty discovered Qinuo's men, and the leader, Niulu Zhangjing Etuhun, shouted, "Stop, what are you doing?"

"Zhang Jing, we are subordinates of Captain Beibao of Hailanpao. We are here at the camp on the captain's orders to collect ten cows, one hundred sheep and fifty carts of wheat," Qi Nuo smiled.

"Wait, I'll go check it out." Etu Hun actually knew that Halde had allocated supplies to the Daur people. He was just annoyed that these Sauron barbarians used the excuse of withholding rewards to ask for supplies and deliberately made things difficult for them.

"Colonel, it has been verified that Haldezhangjing did agree to allocate ten cows, one hundred sheep and fifty carts of wheat to the Daur people, and the general under him is indeed the Taiji of the Daur Dedule tribe, named Qinuo," the subordinate reported to Etuhun.

Etuhun nodded and shouted towards the wall of the village with a sneer: "I have already made inquiries and found out that the camp does have a batch of supplies allocated to your unit, but it is getting late and we cannot let you in. The military law of our Qing Dynasty is strict, and you can only wait until tomorrow morning to enter."

"Oh, Zhang Jing, the weather is so cold here, please give us some help," Qi Nuo said anxiously.

"Who told you not to come during the day? There is a curfew in the military camp at night. Wait until daytime. If you dare to make noise again, don't blame the ruthless arrows." After saying this, Etuhun took out his longbow, drew the bow and put an arrow on it as if he was about to shoot.

It seemed that it was impossible to attack the enemy camp at night, and we could only wait until tomorrow morning. Qi Nuo was angry, but he could only say with a smile: "In this case, my troops can only wait in front of the village gate. Sorry for bothering you." Then he ordered his men to set up the military tent and light a fire to keep warm.

He could make a fire to keep warm, but the main force of the guards lurking nearby did not dare to make a fire. Orros sneered and ordered, "The entire army should find a deep forest to build a military tent to rest. No fire or noise should be made. Post five times as many sentries. If you encounter enemy scouts, kill them immediately. Anyone who dares to expose our army's information will be executed!"

This order meant that the guards could only brave the severe cold and hide in small tents. Those who served as sentries were even worse off and could only drink strong liquor to keep warm. Fortunately, the guards were well-trained, especially the local Solon tribe, which provided a lot of furs to keep warm. They could wrap themselves up and bear it.

The sky finally brightened. "Ah~" Etuhun yawned loudly and asked his subordinates: "Were the Daur people still obedient last night?"

"Captain, those Solon barbarians are very honest. They set up their tents in front of the village gate, made fire and cooked. No one dared to cause trouble. It's just that it's very cold and they are freezing. Fortunately, they are tough and used to the cold, so it doesn't matter." Seeing that the general didn't like the Daur people in front of the village gate, his subordinates also ridiculed them.

"You are right, those barbarians are indeed thick-skinned and not afraid of the cold, hahaha~", Etuhun was in a good mood and ordered his people to shout to the village: "Listen, Daur Dedule tribe, open the village gate immediately, you must line up and enter in turn."

"Okay, okay, thank you very much, Zhang Jing," Qi Nuo smiled and ordered his men to line up.

“Hiss~hiss~hiss~”

The suspension bridge in front of the gate of Huliping Village was slowly lowered, and the heavy gate made of large elm wood was opened from the inside out. Five hundred Daur warriors entered the village one after another.

Qi Nuo walked towards Etu Hun with a charming smile on his face, and as he walked, he kept bowing to the surrounding Qing soldiers, "Thank you~ Thank you~"

Seeing him walking towards him, as if he wanted to thank him, Etuhun snorted coldly, turned his head and looked up, as if he didn't see him. Qinuo still had a smile on his face, and his waist was bent when he walked. Most of his subordinates had entered the village, and he finally walked up to Niulu Zhangjing and thanked him loudly, "Thank you, Zhangjing!" "Humph!" Etuhun snorted heavily, and reluctantly turned his face to look at the barbarian. However, as soon as his face turned around, he saw a flash of a knife. Qinuo swung the Mongolian scimitar, the knife was as fast as lightning, and it cut off Niulu Zhangjing's head in a flash, "You dog, you dare to let us freeze outside all night, today I will take your dog life!"

"Warriors, control the gate and follow me to kill!"

Qi Nuo became ferocious and led his men to kill the guards at the gate of the village. His men gave a signal and several flaring arrows were shot into the sky.

"Kill~kill~kill~"

Seeing the arrows, 600 Bursa tribe soldiers who were ambushed nearby immediately rushed into the village from the woods outside the village. Then, Kenzhewul, Dular, Samakir, Shangdu Batur, and Bobush rushed into the village one after another. Orros and Jamubi commanded the central and rear armies to surround the entire village to prevent the Qing army from escaping.

Hearing the whistling sound of the arrows, the battle-hardened Halde knew something was wrong and hurriedly summoned his men with Niulu Zhangjing Ximinkote to resist. But the number of the guards was more than six times theirs, and they had lost the support of the wall after the gate was breached. How could they be a match?

"Zhang Jing, please lead your troops to break out from the back door quickly, and I will stop them. My younger brother is young, and I have an elderly mother at home," Ximincott shouted to Holder.

Howard knew that this was not the time to hesitate, so he nodded and said, "Ximinkoutte, don't worry about your family. If I can go back alive, your mother will be my mother." After that, he led his personal guards to the rear camp.

"Warriors of the Eight Banners, line up and stop the enemy!" With red eyes, Ximinkot led the remaining one hundred or so troops to line up and block the enemy, just as they encountered the Qino and Bursay tribes who were chasing them.

"You dogs and slaves, how has the Qing Dynasty let you down? How dare you do this?" Seeing the flag of the Daurdedule tribe, Ximinket was furious. He waved his sword and rushed forward fearlessly.

After all, Bursay was old, and seeing how fierce the enemy was coming, he couldn't help but feel frightened and wanted to turn his horse and flee.

"Don't worry, uncle. There are only a hundred enemies. We have more than a thousand warriors under our command. What is there to be afraid of? Now we are all Wei officials. If we are timid in the face of battle, how can we survive in the future?" Qinuo was young and full of vigor, so he led his men to fight. Bursai blushed, and then he felt that his nephew was right. He had just surrendered to Wei. If he ran away in the face of battle, how would the commander-in-chief look at him? Thinking of this, he mustered up his courage and led his troops to attack the Qing army.

Although the Qing army was very brave, they were too few in number and were soon killed. Ximinkot was pierced through the chest by a tiger fork used by the Daur people for hunting, but his body stubbornly refused to fall down and stood up leaning on his sword.

"Puff~" Bursay recognized him and knew that he was Halder's lieutenant commander of the central army. He cut off his head without hesitation and prepared to collect the reward from the marshal.

The White Banner Jiala Zhang Jing Haoerde led more than 300 personal guards to break out of the rear camp at all costs, and encountered more than a thousand Barhu soldiers led by the Barhu leader Aerseleng. Although the Qing army was small in number, they were trapped beasts in a desperate situation. They were fearless and actually broke out of the encirclement and escaped from the formation.

"Chase! Don't let the enemy escape!" Arsleng was very anxious and shot a flare arrow into the sky.

Hearing the arrows, another Barhu leader, Enhesen, who was patrolling nearby, arrived with a thousand elite cavalrymen. One in front and one behind, they surrounded Held who had broken out. After all, they were outnumbered, and no matter how hard the Zhengbai Banner Jiala Zhangjing charged, he could not break through the encirclement, and his subordinates around him became fewer and fewer.

"I never thought that after so many battles, I would die at the hands of Sauron barbarians," Held muttered to himself.

"Swoosh~" The sharp Mongolian scimitar hit his neck, and his mumbling came to an abrupt end.

The murderer was Arsleng, the deputy commander of the Barhu of David State. He was wearing a cotton armor, a helmet, a strong bow on his back, and a scimitar on his waist, looking very majestic. He was clearly a general of David State, how could he look like a Sauron barbarian? (End of this chapter)
