Desert Eagle Suletan Khan
Chapter 1062: Datong Bones Emperor's Heart
"Everyone sit down, sit still~" The Mongolian soldiers holding swords and guns shouted at a group of people to sit on the ground. There were about a thousand people in this group, all of them were Qing prisoners who survived the Battle of Baideng Mountain. Only a thousand of the six thousand prisoners remained, of which four hundred were injured and disabled, and only six hundred were intact.
"Cough~ cough~" Diba coughed majestically a few times. He was the eldest son of Zhuoliketu and Shuoqi, the second-class Luoruohou of Wei State. He inherited his father's title after his father's death. Because of his family background and military exploits, he was already a chief of a thousand households at the age of just 20. Although he was young, he had experienced a series of wars, and he had a murderous aura. He was powerful without being angry, and a few coughs scared the captives into not daring to say a word.
Seeing the obedient look of the captives, he nodded with satisfaction and shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered, 'After the battle, count the captives, and if there are still alive, give them the treatment of soldiers.' From today on, you are David's soldiers. The disabled will be given 20 taels of silver as compensation; those who are not disabled, if they want to stay, will be paid 2 taels of silver per month, and those who refuse to stay will be released and sent home with 5 taels of silver." As soon as these words came out, there was silence at the scene, as if to confirm the truth of his words, dozens of soldiers brought in a full 20 boxes of silver.
"What are you still standing there for? Come up and get your silver. The wounded will be given first." After Diba gave the order, a soldier named the wounded captives and distributed silver. After winning the battle of Tiancheng, the guards captured a large amount of silver, grain and baggage from the Qing army, so they were not short of silver.
The wounded soldiers took the silver and left with many thanks. Among the remaining 600 soldiers, some could not help but say, "We are in Tianjin and would rather return home. We will never dare to be enemies with David again. I hope the general will allow us to do so."
"Didn't I just tell you that if those who are not injured don't want to stay, they will be released and sent home with five taels of silver. Stop talking nonsense, come up and get the silver," Diba shouted impatiently. The man came forward trembling, and the guards handed the five taels of silver to him. Seeing this, the captives came up to get the silver, and half of them left, and 300 people were willing to stay and fight for the guards.
Upon seeing this, Diba smiled and said to the surrendered general Wu Chengluan: "Wu Chanrong, these are all the brave soldiers who survived the great battle. The crown prince has ordered that they are all under your command. Together with the more than 2,000 prisoners from Jiaozhou Town, your troops will be organized into a battalion of 2,500 people. You will lead these people to the rear army to collect military equipment and supplies later."
"Thank you very much, Captain Du," Wu Chengluan said, thanking him and saying goodbye. After he surrendered on Baideng Mountain, Zhuoligetu not only did not kill him, but treated him very well, still appointed him as a lieutenant general, and ordered him to manage the captured prisoners and surrendered soldiers. The crown prince knew that he had few soldiers, so in order to make up for the shortage of troops, he had to reuse surrendered generals and use prisoners. After two major battles, there were only 28,500 of his 30,000 cavalry left, but with these 2,500 surrendered soldiers, the number was actually 1,000 more. In order to prevent the surrendered soldiers from escaping, Wu Chengluan's troops were placed near the central army and closely monitored.

As soon as Beile Dulan led 10,000 cavalrymen across the Yu River east of Datong, he saw the defeated troops of Tong Yangliang, the governor of Xuanda. He immediately felt something was wrong and asked Tong Yangliang, "Tong Duxian, the prince ordered you to guard Baideng Mountain, why are you here?"
"My Lord, it's hard to explain~ Baidengshan was lost~" Tong Yangliang choked up and told the story of the Battle of Baidengshan. He just whitewashed the fact that the entire army of Jiaozhou Town was annihilated, the general Ke Yongsheng was killed in the battle, and his overnight retreat was turned into a hard battle for the entire army, and the general Ke Yongsheng of Jiaozhou was killed in the fierce battle.
Du Lan wanted to call him a "waste", but Tong Yangliang was the mainstay of the old Tong family. The old Tong family was known as the "Tong half court" and had great power in the court. It was not easy to offend him. He had to listen to his crying and ordered him to withdraw his troops to the west bank of the Yu River. At this time, Gushan Ezhen Luotuo led 15,000 troops to defend the west bank of the Yu River. The three armies together actually reached 35,000 people, and their momentum was revived.
-
In the Qing army camp outside Datong City, Donny received the military report from Dulan and Tong Yangliang, and learned that Baideng Mountain was lost. He was furious. He was not Dulan and was not afraid of offending any "Tong Banchao". He immediately wrote a letter to severely reprimand Tong Yangliang, asking him to make up for his crime with merit, otherwise he would be executed.
God is fair. Just when he was upset by a series of bad news, two good news came: first, Beile Shangshan defeated the guards in the south of Datong, beheaded the pseudo-guard Mobei Wanhu Chang Wei Zheng, and captured Yanmen and successfully joined forces with the Qing army in Shanxi, forcing the pseudo-Liao King to retreat to Ningwu, Shuozhou, and Yunchuan. Shanxi Governor Bai Rumei also annihilated the Luliang bandits who had troubled the court for many years; then the court's reinforcements came. The newly appointed Xuanhua General Shang Xuan and Henan and Hebei Deputy General Cai Lu led 20,000 newly formed Jingji, Henan and Hebei Green Camp troops to Datong. What made him even happier was that there was news that another 50,000 newly formed Green Camp troops were rushing to Datong from various places.
Inspired by the two pieces of good news, Doni immediately ordered Duran, Roto and Tong Yangliang to stop the Wei army on the east bank of the Yu River at all costs; he ordered Shangshan and Bai Rumei to join forces to capture Ningwu and come to Datong to join him as soon as possible; he also ordered the generals to attack Datong again, and try to capture this mighty city before the Wei reinforcements arrived.

Ningwu Pass is a rare strong pass in the world. At this moment, the guards inside the pass are facing the most dangerous situation. After the three armies of Qing Beile Shangshan, Shanxi Governor Bai Rumei, and Meilezhang Jing Chahatai joined forces, the total force reached 47,000, while the defenders were only more than 10,000.
"Kill~ Kill~ Kill~" Thunderous shouts resounded in the sky of Ningwu Pass, and another Qing army climbed onto the city. "Go to hell~" The captain of the Wei army, Liu Yan'er, shouted tenderly, and slashed with both swords, sending an enemy to meet the King of Hell.
"Sister Liu, be careful!" Suddenly, a scream was heard, and a figure flew in front of her. "Puff~" The sound of an arrow piercing the flesh was heard. Turning back, she saw that a feathered arrow had deeply stuck in the back of the deputy captain Zhao Yi, and he fell to the ground softly. It was Zhao Yi who blocked the arrow for him.
"Brother Zhao~" Liu Yan'er was deeply saddened.
"Liu~Sister Liu, I~I like you~" Zhao Yi struggled to say the last sentence and then died.
"You Han people are just not straightforward. Why didn't you tell me earlier that you liked me~" Liu Yan'er's eyes turned red. She looked in the direction where the arrow came from and saw the gloomy face of Gao Guosheng, the lieutenant general of the Qingshan Shanxi Fubiao Camp.
"Ah~" With two swords like the wind, she danced towards General Gao quickly, and in a moment she rushed in front of Gao Guosheng. Seeing that it was a female general, General Gao was a little contemptuous, but it didn't take long for him to see the terrible swordsmanship of this woman. After three moves, he was hit on the neck by a scimitar, and the human skull rolled down.
Ningwu Pass was the most tragic place in the battle between Wei and Qing in Datong, second only to Datong City. The second attack and defense of Ningwu Pass lasted for half a year, and the 47,000 Qing troops attacking the city suffered 17,000 casualties, Melezhang Jing Chahatai was injured, and Lieutenant General Gao Guosheng died in the battle. The 11,000 Wei troops defending the city suffered 8,000 casualties, and guerrilla generals Miao Da and Gong Qi, Dusi Yang Fangqing, and deputy Qianhuzhang Zhao Yi were killed.
When the Qing army was about to break into the city, Sumur, the King of Wei Liao, and Elinqin Batur, the general of Datong, came with an army of 10,000 to support. They took advantage of the Qing army's fatigue after a long battle and rushed into the city, causing the battle of Ningwu Pass to fall into a stalemate again.

Under the supervision of General Anyuan Jingkou and Prince Xin Doni, the Qing army launched another attack on Datong City. The main attackers were the 20,000 newly formed Green Battalions under the command of Shang Xuan, the general of Xuanhua, and Cai Lu, the deputy general of Henan and Hebei. The two Green Battalions were newly formed and their combat power was not strong, but they had to serve as consumables for siege under the pressure of the commander-in-chief. A month later, the city was once again filled with corpses lying in all directions. The Qing army suffered 10,000 casualties, and the guards on the city also suffered 3,000 casualties. The fishing rod and fishing flag of the David Kingdom still stood firmly on the top of the city.
Just as Doni was furious, news came that the Crown Prince of Wei, Zhuoligetu, led his army to bypass the Yu River and suddenly appeared in the north of Datong, engaging in a fierce battle with the Gushan Ezhen Yierde tribe stationed at Leigong Mountain. The Yierde tribe had only 5,000 troops, while the Wei army had more than 30,000 troops. Facing the Wei army's attack on the mountain regardless of casualties, Yierde only defended Leigong Mountain for one day before he had to withdraw due to heavy casualties. In the battle of Leigong Mountain, the Wei army suffered 5,000 casualties, while the Qing army only suffered 3,000 casualties. However, after seizing this barrier in the northwest of Datong, the Wei army was able to use Leigong Mountain as a base to continuously harass the Qing army that was attacking Datong.
Doni had no choice but to wait for his own reinforcements while dividing his troops to deal with the enemy's reinforcements. The attack and defense of Datong City fell into a stalemate again.
-
"Great~Great~" When they heard that the battle of Datong was fierce, that Emperor Shunzhi had transferred all 70,000 newly formed Green Camp troops from various provinces to Datong, and that the number of Qing troops attacking Datong exceeded 220,000, Emperor David and Lotus Khan Sultan not only did not worry about the safety of Datong, they even disdained the military casualties reported from the front, and instead said it was great.
"Everything is under my control! The more troops the Qing army puts in Datong, the weaker the defense in other directions. Shunzhi, you thought I would use Datong as a base to advance into the Central Plains, but you didn't know that Datong is just a chess piece I use to contain you. Haha, with the bravery of the guards, there is no place that can't be advanced into the Central Plains?" The great hero laughed happily after receiving the military report. In his eyes, compared with conquering the world, the piles of bones under Datong City are nothing. (End of this chapter)
