Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 1118: Suddenly, a strong wind came at night

At midnight (1664pm) on March , the st year of the Qianyuan reign (), cannons were quietly transported by camels to a place more than a mile away from the Qing army camp. The Yarkand General of the Guards, Toroshihu, and the chief of the Thousand Households, Mengkutmur, commanded their men to quietly build artillery positions, waiting for the order from the Great Khan Lianhua to let the Qing army have a taste of the cannons. Strangely, the Qing army's Henan and Hebei Green Camps in front of the artillery camp did not send anyone to patrol the perimeter of the camp, and did not even deploy scouts.

Strange, is the Qing general on the opposite side a fool? He actually let our army deploy artillery! Toroshihu was surprised, looking at the garrison map in his hand, and saw that it was drawn in great detail, marking the entire deployment of the Qing army clearly and distinctly. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that it was the work of the Wuyiwei again, the intelligence was so accurate, it would be difficult to miss the target!

Suddenly, a flag officer brought a military order. He opened the garrison map in his hand and pointed with his finger, "The Khan has ordered that the artillery camp should focus on bombarding the pseudo-Qing towns of Tianjin and Funing, and avoid the garrisons of the towns of Henan, Hebei and Wenzhou."

As a veteran general, Toroshihu immediately understood that the two places that were avoided must have been secretly surrendered to David. Military orders were as heavy as a mountain and there was no room for further thought. After shouting "I obey your orders," the general fiercely ordered his men to fire.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~" "Boom~Boom~Boom~" The sound of artillery roared, and countless shells flew towards the Qing army camp like snowflakes. Although the visibility was poor at night, because the positions of each camp and the distance between them were marked very accurately on the garrison map, and the guards' artillery camp had been in battle for a long time and had rich experience, a large number of shells were still accurately fired into the target camp.

Unfortunately, many green camp officers and soldiers in Tianjin and Funing lost their lives in their dreams as soon as they fell asleep. As soon as the cannon sounded, flames burst into the sky near the camps of the Qing army in Henan, Hebei and Wenzhou. Gradually, the fire grew larger and larger and spread everywhere.

The sound of the cannon was the military order. On the hill behind the guards' formation, three piles of fire had been lit up at some point. The guards lurking around the artillery camp lit torches and lined up in columns to rush towards the Qing army's Henan and Hebei Green Camp in front. The axe in the hand of Babai, the leader of the Monan army, flashed coldly, and the five thousand elite cavalrymen under his command were all murderous and rushed to the Qing army camp first.

At this time, Cai Lu, deputy general of Henan and Hebei in the Qing Dynasty, had led 6,000 men in armor and lined up on both sides of the camp gate. He looked at the three piles of fire on the top of the mountain and pondered in silence.

"Deputy, Deputy General, the guards are here," a subordinate came running over to report the news in a panic.

Cai Lu heaved a long sigh and said calmly: "Open the camp gate, follow me and throw down your weapons and kneel to welcome the royal army."

The camp gate of the Qing army was opened and the drawbridge was lowered. Six thousand Green Camp soldiers from Henan and Hebei knelt on the ground, throwing their weapons on the ground. Everyone had a white towel tied around their left arm and the braids behind their heads had been cut cleanly.

"Da da da ~ da da da ~" One guard after another galloped into the camp gate. The first few hundred cavalrymen controlled the camp gate on the left and right, while the surrendered soldiers behind them scattered around, staring at the kneeling surrendered soldiers with greedy eyes.

A towering man rode his horse in front of Cai Lu, the huge axe in his hand flashing with cold light, as if ready to chop someone down at any time. "Are you the pseudo-Qing general who surrendered to David? What's your name?" the general asked, his eyes fierce and cruel.

At this moment, Cai Lu, who thought he was used to big scenes, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and clearly felt a strong murderous intent! He knew that if he could not win the trust of the guards and let the other side mistakenly think that he was pretending to surrender, he would surely die. He calmed down and said: "I am Cai Lu, the deputy general of Henan and Hebei. I was originally a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and I surrendered to the Qing Dynasty out of necessity. The false Qing Dynasty was tyrannical, and I and others suffered humiliation, and I have long wanted to abandon the dark and join the light."

"Hmm," the general hummed, without making any comment. "I provided the Qing army's defense map, I sent people to set the fire in the camp, I also ordered people to open the gate, and I also sent people to block the news, so that your army could calmly set up artillery in front of our camp," Cai Lu boasted loudly.

The one who came was Babai, the vanguard of the guards and the chief of ten thousand households in Mo Nan. Seeing Cai Lu's firm words, he believed that he was really surrendering. He slowed down his tone and said, "Since you are willing to submit to David, you must show sincerity."

Cai Lu cheered up and said in a loud voice: "I am willing to lead the way to attack the central army of the fake king Doni."

"That's great! If you can kill the fake king, I will report to the Khan and ask for credit for you," Babai was overjoyed.

Cai Lu led 6,000 men to lead the guards to attack Doni's king's tent. First, they entered the garrison of Tianjin Town, which was located behind the Green Camp in Henan and Hebei. The previous fierce artillery fire had already blown them into chaos, and Cai Lu's troops surrendered without a fight, which was beyond their expectations.

Ke De, the general of Tianjin Town, was directing his men to put out the fire when he suddenly saw Cai Lu leading his troops. He was shocked and said, "Deputy General Cai is not staying in the camp, why is he here? Could it be that the guards attacked the camp and lost it?"

"That's right, the Wei army is so powerful, I can't resist it~" Cai Lu came to Kede's horse with a panicked look on his face, and took advantage of his unpreparedness, and "puffed" him with a knife. Poor Kede was also a famous brave general of the Qing army, born in a general family, with great military exploits, but he died in the hands of Cai Lu.

Cai Lu killed the Qing general without any effort, and then went to Funing Town near Tianjin Town. Similar to Tianjin Town, Funing Town was also thrown into chaos by the fierce artillery fire of the Wei Army. Wu Wanfu, the general of Funing Town, only had time to organize hundreds of soldiers to resist, and was surrounded by the Wei Army and the surrendered troops.

"General Wu, the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the rise of Wei is God's will. You and I are both Han Chinese. Why should we be running dogs of the Manchus? Just surrender~" Cai Lu shouted to persuade them to surrender.

Wu Wanfu secretly complained. Previously, the Wei State sent people to persuade him to surrender. It would have been fine if he refused, but they came to tie up and hand him over to Doni to be beheaded, which was equivalent to cutting off his retreat in front of the Wei army. How could he dare to surrender? Cai Lu was a scoundrel. He surrendered to the Wei without any warning, but forced himself into a dead end! Thinking of this, he angrily cursed: "Bah! Cai Lu, you eat the salary of the Qing Dynasty but betray the Qing Dynasty. You are really worse than a pig and a dog!"

"Da Da Da ~ Da Da Da ~" A team of elite cavalry rushed into the Qing formation, and the leader chopped down on his head with a huge axe. Wu Wanfu hurriedly raised his spear to block it, but the axe was extremely heavy and sharp. After the spear shaft was broken, the axe tip was deeply wedged into his forehead. Wu Wanfu paused on his horse, and then his face cracked and his body fell off the horse.

"Quack! Anyone who dares to block David's horse's hoof will be killed." Babai coldly drew back the red axe and said to Cai Lu, "Don't waste time, quickly take down the false king's central army!"

"Yes. Please follow me forward. Ahead is the camp of Wenzhou Town of the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty. Shang Haoren, the general of Wenzhou Town, is a subordinate of Geng Jimao, the King of Jingnan of the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty. He joined the banner with the Jingnan vassal and has always been loyal to the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty. But don't worry, the general has already made arrangements," Cai Lu said flatteringly.
