Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

The first ten thousand horses rushed through the two-layer spear formation of the Qing army, killing and injuring about a thousand Qing soldiers, and then stopped. Countless horses fell in a pool of blood, and the remaining horses regained consciousness and walked around the formation. The casualties of a mere thousand people were nothing compared to the more than 100,000 Qing soldiers. Doni took the opportunity to command the Qing army behind to fill in the gaps and quickly restored the five-layer spear formation, still in a circular formation.

Got slapped in the face! Great Khan Lianhua was very ashamed. Just now he boasted in front of Master Liu that if there were 10,000 frightened horses galloping, any strong formation could be broken. Unexpectedly, he failed to break through and only broke through two layers of the military formation. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. It seems that relying on a team of 10,000 horses alone is not enough. We must charge continuously regardless of the losses! Thinking of this, the great hero got ruthless and howled and ordered, "Charge one team after another! Even if all 50,000 horses die, you must charge out a gap for me!"

“Da da da~da da~da da~”

The second team of ten thousand horses rushed in, and broke through two layers of spear formations of the Qing army. The third team ran along the gap that the second team had rushed out, and broke through two more layers of spear formations. The fourth team continued to rush towards the gap, breaking through the last layer of spear formations and then the sixth layer of sword and shield formations. When the fifth team rushed to the gap, there was no spear blocking them, and they kept breaking through the seventh layer of sword and shield formations and the eighth and ninth layers of archer formations, and only ran out of energy when they approached the center of the circle. The sound of horse hooves shook the earth, and almost all of the 50,000 horses died, killing and injuring more than 7,000 Qing soldiers. The most important thing was that they had rushed out of a huge gap.

The opportunity for war has arrived! The Great Khan Lianhua was overjoyed and ordered the guard cavalry, who had been waiting for a long time, to rush into the gap and make sure to rush into the enemy formation to expand the victory. The guard commander Okchotbu led 3,000 elite cavalry to rush into the Qing army formation as the first batch, followed by 3,000 cavalry from the commander Shilabu, and 15,000 cavalry from the commanders Mandulatu, Asuhusaihan, Xiyu Admiral Bu and Altu. The rest of the guards circled around the enemy formation, shooting arrows and harassing the Qing army.

Seeing the aggressive advance of the Wei army, Chen Fu, the general of Xinghan Town in Qing, led his troops to stop them. However, he met the fierce general Okchotebu and was killed in just one round.

"Ah~ah~ah~" Okchotbu roared with excitement. This warrior from the Khoshut tribe of the Oirat Mongols was not satisfied after breaking through Xinghan Town. He rushed into the Qing army and killed everywhere. He also rushed into the army of Li Mengxia, the deputy general of Shouchun Camp in Jiangbei, and crushed them. When Li Mengxia retreated in panic, he was shot dead by Shilabu, the captain of the guards who came from behind. The 3,000 guards of Shilabu were all equipped with the new three-barreled guns. After rushing into the Qing army, they fired at close range. The power was much greater than that of bows and arrows, and they shot countless Qing soldiers.

"Order to fire at the rear of the gap to block the guards from entering the gap; Lai Tuku and Sangtu lead the cavalry and infantry to drive the enemy out!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Doni decisively ordered to fire. The Qing army's heavy artillery at the center of the circle began to show its power. More than a hundred huge cannons fired at the rear of the gap. The powerful shells swept away the guards or Qing troops indiscriminately, making it temporarily impossible for Mandulatu, Saihan, Buhe Altu and other troops who were preparing to follow Shilabu to charge into the gap; the Qing first-class Adahahafan Sangtu led the remaining 5,000 cavalry to kill the guards who were rushing into the army. This cavalry was extremely fierce. They attacked and attacked, successfully preventing the guards who were rushing into the army from continuing to advance; the Qing minister Lai Tuku led 10,000 infantry to follow the cavalry to kill.

Gradually, the guards lost their speed. However, Okchotbu still refused to retreat and led his men to attack the Qing army in Xuanhua Town, hoping to disperse them and drive away the defeated soldiers to destroy the enemy's formation, but was met with desperate resistance from the Xuanhua Green Camp.

"Come here, aim at that enemy general and shoot!" Shang Xuan, the general of Xuanhua Town, spotted this brave general and ordered several musketeers to shoot him. With the sound of "bang~bang~", Okchotbu's body shook violently and he fell off his horse.

"Fourth brother!" Shilabu, the captain of the Wei army, felt a sharp pain in his heart. He quickly dismounted and held his brother in his arms. He and Okchotebu were both sons of Kundulun Ubash, the great taiji of the Khoshut tribe of the Oirats Mongols.

"I~can't do it, second brother~go quickly~and avenge me~" After saying this, Okchotebu closed his eyes.

"Fourth brother!" Shilabu held back his tears and carried his brother's body on his horse, braving the bombardment and waving his long sword back along the gap he had just rushed out. Brothers for life, even if he dies, he will bring his brother home!

In the previous battle, the Qing army suffered 12,000 casualties, while the Wei army suffered more than 2,000 casualties. Judging from the casualty ratio, the Wei army was undoubtedly victorious; but the Wei army also paid the price of tens of thousands of war horses and 3,000 prisoners. More importantly, it failed to quickly break through the Qing army's formation and give the enemy a chance to breathe. Judging from the combat effect, the Wei army did not win.

Looking at the sea of ​​blood and corpses on the battlefield, the Great Khan Lianhua did not order a further charge. He had seen the great power of the Qing army's artillery and the solidity of the army formation. He was unwilling to risk the lives of his warriors. Seeing that it was getting late, he ordered to set up camp and rest. The so-called camping mainly means to set up military tents inside the army formation, put some chevaux de frise and other objects outside the army formation, and set up more sentries. After a whole day of fierce fighting, both sides had no time to dig trenches, build camps and walls, so they could only finish the battle in a hurry. In order to defend against the night attack of the army, Doni divided the army into two groups to take turns to rest.

"Where is my heavy artillery? If Toroshihu doesn't deliver it by tomorrow morning, I will chop off his head and kick it like a ball!" Inside the big tent, the Oirats God of War roared angrily.

The battle was very strange. As soon as the call was made, the general of Yarkand, Toroshihu, came. The general knew that the Great Khan had strict military laws, so he did not dare to neglect the order. Together with the captain of the capital Mengkutmur, he led 3,000 troops and escorted 120 heavy artillery pieces, and finally arrived at the battlefield that night.

The long-awaited heavy artillery finally arrived! Lotus Khan excitedly punched Toroshihu, "Toroshihu, are you born in the year of the camel? How can you run so fast with so many big guys?"

"The Khan is really good at foresight! In order to deliver these big guys as quickly as possible, I prepared 120 carts. Although cattle are strong, they are not as stamina as camels. In order to travel continuously, camels are used to pull them." Toroshhu smiled flatteringly, deliberately confusing the Khan's original words. Sultan was even more happy after hearing this, and he laughed and ordered to continue the attack in the early morning of the next day.

The reason for choosing to attack in the early morning was that he judged that the Qing army must be tired after a day of hard work, and he planned to attack when the enemy was sleeping soundly. However, in the early morning of the next day, when the guards marched in neat rows to the front of the Qing army camp, they found that the Qing army had already formed a battle array, still the same circular formation as yesterday, but the difference was that there were soldiers in the battle array piling up earth walls, preparing to build a solid camp.

"Haha, Doni has a good plan. He wants to build a military camp while fighting. But unfortunately my heavy artillery has been delivered. How can we build a military camp?" The Lotus Khan said to himself with a smile.

"Great Khan, the artillery battalion has calculated the range and entered the artillery position. Please give your instructions on whether to fire!" The chief of the capital, Mengkutmur, reported. He was the son of Tarhun, a veteran of the Guards who was good at using artillery, and had a lot of experience in the use of artillery. The Great Khan not only gave him the command of the 120 heavy artillery brought by Toroshihu, but also gathered the 160 cannons in the army and gave them to him to use.

"Fire! We must show the power of our army!" The hero's light words opened the prelude to the artillery battle in southwest Beijing.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~Boom~" "Boom~Boom~Boom~" The shells were like meteors, falling and exploding one by one in the front row of the Qing army's formation. Some were solid giant balls, which flattened the spears and people of the Qing army's formation like plowing the ground, and plowed out deep trenches; some were shotgun shells or even shrapnel, and shrapnel flew everywhere, killing and injuring a large number of Qing army personnel.

"Fire! Destroy the enemy's artillery camp for me!" Upon hearing the roar of the huge cannon, Donny's expression changed drastically and he gave the order fiercely.

"Your Highness, the range of the guards' artillery is very limited. It only bombarded the first five layers of our spear formation and not the back. Our heavy artillery has all been concentrated at the center of the circle. The range is insufficient. We need to move the heavy artillery forward to hit the enemy's artillery. Now we can only use the small artillery in front of the formation to fight back," reported Lai Tuku, the minister of state who was in charge of directing the artillery battle.

"Move the heavy artillery forward quickly!" Donnie yelled angrily.

The Qing army paid special attention to the development of giant artillery. The heavy artillery in the army was basically more than 3,000 kilograms, so it was not easy to move it quickly. After receiving the military order, the officers and soldiers of the artillery camp struggled to pull these big guys forward. Each heavy artillery required an ox and 20 people to pull it. The battlefield situation changed rapidly, so how could they delay? Although the small artillery in the front of the Qing army began to fight back in twos and threes, the power could not be compared with the heavy artillery, and they were soon annihilated by the artillery fire of the guards. The Qing army was shot down piece by piece by the guards, and the forest of long spears gradually became sparse, and gaps appeared one after another.

The opportunity has come! The Great Khan Lianhua was about to order the cavalry to charge through the gap, but the Yarkand General Toroshihu, who was eager to win the merit, ordered his men to move 160 camel-mounted cannons forward. The heavy cannons of the Guards were also heavy, and once they were deployed, they were inconvenient to move. However, the 160 small cannons on the backs of camels were easy to move, and they soon moved forward to fire, with the shells raining down on the sword and shield soldiers and archers behind the spearmen.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~" The guards' artillery bombarded for a full hour, not only effectively destroying the spear formation and plowing gaps in the originally dense spear forest, but also killing a large number of swordsman and archers behind them.

Now I have made a contribution in front of the Khan! Toroshihu was secretly delighted. He had just moved 160 cannons forward without fear of danger to destroy the enemy's formation and made great contributions, showing off in front of the Khan. Just as he was thinking about what rewards he could get after the war, he suddenly heard a huge "chi chi" sound. It was the Qing army's heavy artillery that moved forward and began to fight back.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~Boom~" Thunderous artillery sounds came, and huge shells exploded in the Tuotuo artillery camp, tearing the gun carriages, camels and people to pieces.

"Fire! Fire at the enemy!" Toroshihu did not retreat, but commanded the Tuotuo artillery battalion to fire back at the Qing army artillery battalion. The heavy artillery battalion commanded by Mengkutmur, the chief of the guards, also made the same choice. When two armies meet, the brave one wins, and in the face of artillery attack, the only way is to fire hard.

"Chiu~" a sharp whistle sounded near Toroshihu. "Be careful, General!" The captain Yeergubo suddenly pressed him down.

After a long time, Toroshihu pushed Yeergubo away and stood up, but found that the general didn't move. "Yergubo~Yergubo~" the general called out loudly, but no matter how he called, Yeergubo didn't move. He turned the general's body and found that there was a big hole in his back and his internal organs were shattered.

Two lines of clear tears flowed from Toroshihu's eyes, and the joy of having made a contribution in front of the Great Khan just now disappeared. If possible, he would rather give up the credit and save the lives of his comrades.

"Boom~Boom~" The artillery battle continued.

"Fire! Shoot hard! " War does not need tears. Toroshihu stopped crying and howled fiercely.

Taking advantage of the counterattack of the artillery camp to disrupt the artillery fire of the Wei army, Doni ordered the Qing army to re-form their ranks in an attempt to fill the gap. How could the battle-hardened Lotus Khan give him this opportunity? Even though the artillery battle was still going on, he still decisively issued the order to "attack". "Warriors, I order you to advance in the face of the artillery fire! Glory to the Kingdom of David! Hao Rui~" The Oirat God of War roared excitedly.

"Haorui~Haorui~Haorui~" Team after team of guard cavalry rushed towards the gap in the Qing army's formation, facing the oncoming artillery fire. At this time, the long spears in front of the Qing army's formation had been shattered by the guards' artillery fire, and nothing could stop the cavalry from charging. As for the Qing army's artillery fire, with the speed of the cavalry, it would not take long for them to rush into the blind spot of the cannon's range.

"Hold on~Hold on~" Shang Xuan, the general of Xuanhua, tried his best to restrain his men to resist. Suddenly, thousands of cavalrymen rushed over and killed the soldiers around him. The general Mandulatu, holding a huge mace, hit Shang's head hard, and his brains were smashed into pieces.

During the fierce battle, the Hebei Green Camp led by Liu Zuoyuan, the governor of Baoding, was surrounded. He was exhausted and wanted to die for his country, but he couldn't do it with a knife across his neck. "Since ancient times, the only hard thing is death!" Liu Fuyuan smiled sadly and said to the soldiers around him, "Please help me."

"Master~" The personal soldier was a servant of the Liu family and couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Do you want me to be a useless subject to you?" Liu Zuoyuan yelled angrily.

"I'm sorry for offending you," the soldier ruthlessly chopped him down with a knife, and the loyal minister died.

The Qing army, which was broken through the formation, fled in all directions. His subordinates wanted to protect the Minister of State Lai Tuku and escape, but Lai Tuku did not want to leave the artillery camp's cannons to the guards, and fiercely ordered: "Blow up these cannons before retreating!" His hands and feet were busy looking for gunpowder to blow up the cannons. "Boom~Boom~Boom~" Cannons were blown up one after another. Just like this delay, the guards' chief Shangdu Batur led his troops to surround them.

Seeing that the old man was defeated but still did not forget to destroy the artillery, Shangdu Batur was furious and shouted, "Shoot them to death!" More than 2,000 warriors from the Torghut tribe of the Oirat Mongols shot arrows one after another. Soon, Laituku and his hundreds of men were all shot into hedgehogs.

Generals Santu and Kede protected Donnie and escaped from the battlefield. The rest of the Qing troops also fled in all directions, regretting that their parents had not given them two more legs.

"Chase them for me!" Lotus Khan was an experienced warrior. How could he give the Qing army a chance to escape and regroup? He ordered a pursuit.

"Ah~ah~ah~ah~" The warriors of the Guards, who were so angry that they wanted to kill, howled like wolves, chasing the Qing army and beating them hard. How could infantry outrun cavalry? Under the pursuit of the Guards' cavalry, the Qing army suffered heavy casualties, and the mountains and plains were full of corpses.

A ray of setting sun shone on the face of the Great Khan Lianhua, and he clearly felt that the light was actually blood red. (End of this chapter)
