Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 1093: Why hesitate to surrender the army after the city is broken

In the early morning of the third day, the guards launched another offensive. The cunning Lotus Khan did not order the artillery to fire this time, but ordered the surrendered troops to sneak into the city under the cover of the thick fog in the early morning.

Xu Wenhuan held a sword in his mouth and climbed the city wall himself. In the past two days, he had figured it out. The Great Khan of Wei State issued a strict order to break the city within ten days. His troops were arranged to be the first to attack the city, which meant that the Great Khan of Wei State regarded him as a consumable in the siege. If he wanted to survive, he could only attack the top of the city wall before being consumed. He never thought of surrendering in battle, and he couldn't go back! Marshal Che Ke was a favorite of the emperor. He failed to protect the Marshal, which led to his death by the rebels. He surrendered to Wei State because he was afraid of death, and helped Wei State attack the capital. If the emperor knew about it, how would he treat him? There was only one way to go. Since there was no way out, he could only follow the Great Khan of Wei State to the end. Seeing the commander fighting desperately, the captives were greatly encouraged and climbed up the city wall one after another.

"Ding-ling-ling~ Ding-ling-ling~" The veteran general Ming Andali ordered people to tie a long rope at the battlements of the city wall. There was a bell on the rope, and the sound would be used to warn the defenders in time.

"Enemy attack~Enemy attack~" Alarms sounded everywhere and the defenders rushed up the city to fight.

There were still many surrendered soldiers who took advantage of the fog to sneak up the city wall. Zhuo Bao, the commander of the Qingzheng Blue Banner Guards who was on duty today, quickly ordered his subordinates to drive the guards who climbed the city wall down. He had been a second-class guard in front of the emperor and was very skilled in martial arts. He led his subordinates to kill and injure many guards who climbed the city wall. "Huh~" The knife in his hand seemed to have eyes and stabbed to the side and back, and a guard who attacked secretly fainted on the ground with his hands on his stomach in pain.

"Haha, you want to attack me by surprise, but I have more sensitive ears than a cat, I can identify the position by sound," Zhuo Bao said with a proud smile. But he heard three "bang~bang~bang" sounds, someone fired at him, his chest shook violently, and soon he lost consciousness forever. In order to make this sneak attack a success, the Great Khan Lianhua specially selected 200 gunners who were good at using three-eyed guns from the cavalry to mix in with the surrendered army to shoot and kill the enemy generals. In order to capture Dadu, this Oirat god of war invested a lot of money, and the gunners he selected were all the best archers in the army, and the guns they used were also the best self-propelled fire guns. As luck would have it, Zhuo Bao suffered.

After Zhuo Bao's death, the Qing army on the city wall fell into temporary chaos, and more and more surrendered soldiers climbed up the city wall. Xu Wenhuan was overjoyed, and his intuition told him that he would make great achievements today! He hurriedly ordered his subordinates to form small circles on the city wall to cover more of his own soldiers to climb the city wall. At this time, Ming Andali, the Minister of War of the Qing Dynasty, and Hang Qi, the commander of the guards, arrived with their personal soldiers. The defenders who had resumed their command had a plan and fought with the surrendered soldiers who had climbed up the city wall.

"Great! Let's attack! Tell the brothers to prepare to climb the city. We have to be the first to climb the city, don't let the Mongols underestimate us", seeing Xu Wenhuan's troops gradually climb up the city wall, Jizhou General Xuan Youcai shouted to his trusted lieutenant Ding Kui in high spirits at Zhengyang Gate. Suddenly, Ding Kui turned pale and trembled unconsciously. Looking back, it turned out to be the Great Khan Lianhua who suddenly appeared beside him.

"I didn't know the Khan was coming, I was impolite." Xuan Youcai, who was in high spirits just now, was sweating profusely. He hurriedly dismounted from his horse and knelt down to greet him. He secretly groaned in his heart, wondering whether his remarks that he wanted to compete for credit with the Mongolian generals would anger the Khan.

"My dear Xuan, you are wearing armor, so there is no need to be polite." Sultan dismounted from his horse and helped the general up, took off his battle robe and put it on him, and said with a smile: "I heard your heroic words just now. If you can go up first, you should wear this robe."

"Thank you, Great Khan, for your reward! I will definitely live up to your high expectations!" Suddenly, a warm current surged into Xuan Youcai's heart. All the hardships he had endured these days and the heavy casualties suffered by his subordinates were thrown out of his mind. He felt only gratitude in his heart. What an honor it was for the Great Khan to personally give him his imperial battle robe! How could a surrendered general like me not repay such a favor with my life!

"The opportunity for battle has emerged. You should lead your troops into the city immediately. I will send the imperial guards to follow closely," Sultan ordered with a smile.

"Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!" Xuan Youcai shouted to his subordinates excitedly, and led 8,000 surrendered soldiers to rush fiercely towards Zhengyang Gate.

The Great Khan kept his promise and ordered Gunbu Yileden, a third-rank Hetohuit Marquis, to lead more than 2,000 Hetohuit warriors to follow closely behind. He also ordered Chang'en and Batu, the commander of the central army, to lead 10,000 warriors to follow Gunbu Yileden, while he himself led the main army to attack.

The guards came in like a tide, but something unexpected happened on the city wall. Ming Andali, who had experienced many battles, found Xu Wenhuan's flag and quickly determined that he was an important general of the guards. He ordered the guard commander Hang Qi to gather 300 gunners and 300 archers to shoot in the direction of Xu Wenhuan. At this time, Xu Wenhuan had only more than 200 men around him, and they fell one after another under the intensive shooting of the Qing army. Deputy General Xu was not very courageous. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately turned around and fled, intending to go down the city along the ladder.

"Hmph~" Ming Andali snorted coldly and took off the longbow from his back. This bow had no carvings or patterns. It looked plain, but it had killed countless enemies. He put an arrow on it, pulled the string to the full, and the arrow flew out smoothly, fast and accurate, piercing the back of his neck.

"Ugh~" Poor Deputy General Xu was in so much pain that he couldn't say a word, and fell heavily from the top of the city wall. Just after Xu Wenhuan died, Jizhou General Xuan Youcai led his men to rush to the top of the city wall. He was braver than Xu Wenhuan, and he personally attacked Ming Andali's general flag as the spearhead.

Seeing that the enemy was too fast to shoot, Ming Andali put back his longbow, drew his sword and fought with a fierce smile. The battle was extremely fierce. During the fierce battle, Hang Qi, the commander of the Qing Guard Army, actually rolled down the city wall with Ding Kui, the confidant of Xuan Youcai.

Xuan Youcai, who had received the imperial robe, fought like crazy, totally ignoring the casualties of his subordinates, and attacked Ming Andali's flag fiercely. Although Ming Andali fought to the death, more and more guards climbed onto the city, and the city was gradually losing. At the critical moment, a loud roar was heard, "Don't worry, Shangshu! I'm here to help you!" It was Prince Kang Jieshu who led 5,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners to support.

"Your Highness, you have come just in time! If you were a little later, Zhengyang Gate would have been lost!" Ming Andali was overjoyed and hurriedly joined forces with Jieshu to resist the enemy. However, he was too happy too early. As the surrendered troops occupied more and more footholds on the top of the city, the Mongolian troops following the surrendered troops also began to climb the city walls under the order of the Great Khan Lianhua.

San Deng and Tuo Huite Hou Gunbu Yile Deng followed Xuan Youcai's troops to the top of Zhengyang Gate. As soon as he got on the city wall, the old general shouted "Haorui~"

"Haorui~Haorui~Haorui~" The Haorui voice coming from the top of the city wall boosted the morale of the Mongolian soldiers below the city, and they all accelerated the pace of climbing the city wall. Enhe Batu, Galdama, and Chao Lemen all led their troops to climb the city wall.

Gunbu Yileden was old but still strong, and he was the first to charge at Jieshu's royal flag. Jieshu's subordinate, Manchu Deputy Commander Sege of the Plain White Banner, led his troops to stop him, but Gunbu Yileden's fierce general, Deputy Commander of a Thousand Households, Borite China, saw an opportunity and cut him in half with a single strike.

"Hehe~" Ming Andali snorted again, took out the longbow behind him, aimed at Boritichi and shot an arrow.

Poor Boritichina was also a famous warrior among the guards, but he could not defend against the hidden arrow. He was hit in the forehead by the arrow and returned to the arms of Changshengtian.

Seeing his beloved general dead, Gunbu Yileden was aroused to his ferocity, holding a rattan shield in his left hand and a scimitar in his right hand, and rushed to Ming Andali like a fly. The two veterans fought on the top of the city wall, and it was difficult to tell who would win.

War does not rely on individual bravery. More and more guards climbed up the city wall. The surrendered general Xuan Youcai led his troops to rush down the city wall, killed the guards at the city gate, and opened the gate of Zhengyang Gate.

"Haorui~Haorui~Haorui~" Seeing the city gate open, the excited Mongolian warriors rode their horses and galloped into the city, killing everywhere.

"Ha~Ha~Ha~" Ming Andali's guards were getting fewer and fewer, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted. While he was fighting with Gunbu Yileden, the guards Enhe Batu took out the armor-piercing arrows from behind and shot them. The old general trapped in the siege had no time to take care of the cold arrows, and was shot through the back of the chest by an arrow, falling to the ground. While he was falling, Gunbu Yileden took the opportunity to cut off his head with a knife.

Under the desperate protection of his personal guards, Prince Kang Jieshu fled out of Zhengyang Gate in a panic, while the guards entered the city through Zhengyang Gate one after another. Upon hearing the news, Emperor Shunzhi had no choice but to order the guards at each gate to abandon the inner city and retreat to the imperial city for defense. (End of this chapter)
