Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

The front troops of the Qing army were arranged in four layers. The first two layers were archers equipped with bows and arrows, muskets, long spears, and swords, and the last two layers were cavalrymen equipped mainly with swords and long spears. Their tactics originated from the era of Taizu Nurhaci. They first used spears and arrows to disrupt the enemy formation, and then broke into the enemy formation and engaged in a melee. The Manchus ruled the world with bows and horses, and the training of cavalry was extremely strict. When training for archery on horseback, they were required to "wait for the horse to run to a distance of about ten feet from the ground, and then shoot at it." When training for firing guns on horseback, they were required to "wait for the horse to run to a distance of about thirty bows (about fifty meters) from the target, and then put the gun flat against the face, and shoot at the target with the gun hanging from the crotch." Shooting at such a short distance, and having to be completed during the charge, the requirements for soldiers were very strict.

Ordinary enemies would often fall into chaos when they were hit by a sudden attack, and would collapse when the archers and the cavalry behind them broke into their formation. But the Wei army was a strong army that had experienced countless bloody battles. Despite the sudden gunfire and arrow attacks, they still maintained a tight formation, and even took out their three-barreled guns and fired or bent their bows to shoot arrows when they approached the Qing army. The sounds of "bang~bang~" and "whoosh~whoosh~" continued, and the number of Qing soldiers shot down by the Wei army was greater than the number of Wei soldiers shot down by the Qing army. Not only did the Qing army's archers fail to disrupt the enemy's formation, but they were rushed into their own formation by the Wei army, and had to switch to long spears and pick swords to fight.

Sonomu Celing didn't care about anything else and kept rushing into the Qing army's formation. He broke through four layers of Qing troops in succession and went straight to the flag of Gushan Ezhen Yilde who was commanding the Qing army's vanguard.

Ild was a veteran general who had fought in many battles. Seeing the bravery of the guards, he could not help but change color. He sighed to his subordinates, "I didn't expect the Western barbarians to be so ferocious!" As he was sighing, he suddenly saw a troop of soldiers breaking through his formation and rushing towards him. The enemy general in the lead had a ferocious face like a vicious monster, and the tiger fork in his hand was invincible. In a blink of an eye, he rushed to a place where he was only a few arrows away.

"Don't be alarmed, Ezhen, I will fight him." Seeing this, Hebusuo, the deputy commander of the Red Banner, led his men to intercept them. He had been commanding the cavalry to fight the outpost battle, and after the outpost battle, he returned to Yilder's side. Seeing the aggressive advance of the guards, he became angry and wanted to kill the enemy to gain merit.

Hebusuo was known in the army for his courage to fight, and he was very skilled in using a spear. However, as soon as he came into contact with the enemy general, the enemy general threw out an object from his arms, which was a three-barreled gun that had been emptied of bullets and had no time to reload. This gun was not light, but in the hands of Sonomuceling, who was as strong as an ox, it was very light, and with a light throw, it flew towards Hebusuo like a meteor. Hebusuo, who was very skilled in martial arts, heard the wind coming, and raised the spear in his hand, and the gun was lifted up. However, Sonomuceling took the opportunity to stab with a fork, and the angle of the assassination was accurate and tricky. The 70-jin tiger fork was like nothing in his hand, and the speed was as fast as lightning.

"Ugh~" Hebuso fell to the ground in pain, holding his throat.

Seeing Hebusuo's death, Ild's eyes widened. He knew Hebusuo's martial arts, but he didn't expect that he was no match for the general.

"Ah~ah~ah~" Sonomuse Ling howled to the sky, the tiger fork in his hand flew up and down, getting closer and closer to Yierde. Yierde wanted to retreat, but the Qing military law was strict. There was a military order before the battle, and those who retreated without order would be subject to military law. How dare he retreat? He made up his mind, drew his sword, and led his personal guards to meet Sonomuse Ling.

Under the urging of the Tiger of Oirats, the captains of the Wei army, Pota, Zhilekobai, Alten and Kuozi, each led their troops to the front line of the Qing army and killed many people.

After all, the Eight Banners soldiers under Duran were the elite of the Qing army. After a head-on confrontation with the Guards' cavalry, they were not dispersed. Instead, they engaged in a melee with the Guards under the leadership of generals at all levels.

The commander of the front army of the Guards, Bars, raised his famous scimitar high in the air, and swung it with the help of the horse's power, killing every enemy with every blow. Seeing the commander being so brave, Wuluk, Almas, Samadi and other generals followed the commander and fought bravely, wedge-cutting into the center of the Qing army.

"Good! The Tiger of Oirats is indeed worthy of its reputation!" Crown Prince Zhuoligtu was overjoyed. He personally led Tegus Chaoktu, Orros, Bayar and other generals to follow the vanguard. The Durbet leader Obodui Ulanghai also led 5,000 rear troops to follow up.

The pressure was getting bigger and bigger! Although Yild fought desperately, he was powerless. Seeing that the front army was about to retreat, Beile Dulan and Gushan Ezhen Aljin arrived with 20,000 central troops and finally managed to maintain the formation. Gushan Ezhen Bashan's 10,000 rear troops also followed closely behind the central army. A big melee! At the beginning, there was still some order to follow, but later it became a mess and the melee continued.

Samadi, the captain of the guards, went to fight with Qinggushan Ezhen Yild. Samadi, who was born in the Kyrgyz tribe, was very brave. Yild was defeated after a few rounds and turned his horse to run away. Samadi chased him closely. Yild skillfully rode his horse in an "8" shape, constantly changing direction and keeping the horse's speed as much as possible by drawing an arc. Samadi, who was chasing hard, suddenly felt that his eyes were empty. It turned out that Yild had circled behind him by walking in an "8" shape. "Puff~" The sharp broadsword slashed fiercely, and Samadi, who had the upper hand just now, fell off his horse.

The Qing army commander Alhatu met the commander of the Wei army, Alten. Alten was born in a Naiman tribe in Zhongyuzi. He was very good at martial arts since he was a child. He killed countless enemies with his big iron hammer. After a short fight, Alhatu's knife was knocked away by Alten, and he smashed the commander's head with another hammer.

Such scenes were staged in different corners of the battlefield, with corpses piled up on the plain at the foot of Miaofeng Mountain. Although the number of guards was slightly smaller, they had the upper hand. The Qing army struggled to hold on, after all, they were the main force of the Eight Banners who had been through many battles. Although they were at a disadvantage, it was not easy to defeat them.

The Bars unit of the Wei army's vanguard finally broke through the Qing army's vanguard and rushed towards Duran's central army banner.

"Get off your horses and fire your guns!" Duran howled and ordered. The Qing army's central army had many firearms soldiers, who placed their firearms on their horses and dismounted to fire their firearms when they encountered the enemy. They were called cavalry, but in fact they were mounted infantry.

"Bang~bang~bang~" Under the command of Gushan Ezhen Aljin, the Qing army gunners began to fire on foot, and the small cannons in the central army also began to fire.

"Haorui~Haorui~Hao~" Turkestan Boyuluk howled and raised his scimitar as he galloped towards Duran, but suddenly stopped and fell off his horse. Since surrendering to the Kingdom of David, this man had made great contributions in the wars of the Lotus Khanate conquering Bukhara and the Kazakh Khanate, and had made many military achievements since then. He didn't expect to die here today.

Seeing the loss of a great general, Bars became furious and ordered his men to dismount and shoot at the enemy. Countless arrows and bullets were fired at the Qing army. In the fierce battle, the Qing army's deputy governor Bakshi was shot and killed.

As the sky gradually darkened, the commanders of both sides had to order the withdrawal of the battlefield. In this battle, the Wei army suffered 5,000 casualties and killed 7,000 Eight Banners. Although it failed to defeat the Qing army, it effectively contained the Eight Banners cavalry. After tasting the sharp edge of the enemy cavalry, Du Lan was unwilling to fight hard, and led his army to hide in Miaofeng Mountain to stalemate with the Wei army.

The battle report reached the capital. To boost morale, the Great Khan ordered that Uluk be buried with honors as a marquis, and that Uluk's eldest son Kuter inherit his father's third-class Turkestan earldom. (End of this chapter)
