Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 1155: Battle of Xuanfu and the Destruction of Xihe

When the large "Qi" flags appeared all over the mountains behind the Qing army, Tong Yangliang knew he had been defeated. Wasn't the fake King of Qi in Taiyuan? Why did he suddenly appear here? He wanted to convince himself that this was the enemy's bluff, but the number of the enemy troops was enough to prove that they were indeed the main force of the Shanxi Guard.

"Retreat~ Retreat quickly~" the old governor gritted his teeth and ordered. Upon hearing the order, Lin Guoliang, the deputy general of the Central Camp of the Xuanda Governor's Biao, immediately escorted him to escape in the direction of Taohua Fort. In a hurry, Tong Yangliang glanced back and found that the flag of the first-class Adahaha Fansangtu had fallen.

Santu was dead. When Qi Wang Mailas led his army to attack, this fierce general was attacking Changning Town. He finally led his troops to retreat from the city wall, but because he retreated too late, he was surrounded by the Wei army. A good tiger cannot fight a group of wolves, let alone a group of lions. Soon his troops were annihilated, and Santu himself was killed in battle by the Wei army's Chahar admiral Alinbao.

"Hurry up~" Tong Yangliang was determined not to care about Sangtu's life or death, and only urged his men to speed up their escape. In order to survive, the Qing army ran very fast and finally arrived near Taohua Fort. Looking at the green flag of the Qing army on the fort, Tong Yangliang breathed a sigh of relief and counted the troops, only more than 10,000 were left.

"Tell those in the fort to prepare food and water, and continue retreating after resting for an hour," the old governor said, panting.

"Hey!" The flag and drum officer immediately gave the order. The Qing army, exhausted from running all the way, staggered around chewing dry food and drinking water. The horse-loving cavalrymen did not care about eating or drinking themselves, but led the horses to drink water first.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~" Suddenly, artillery shells fell on our heads like raindrops, and the rapid and dull sound was the guards' cannon.

"Where did the guards come from? When did the enemy capture Taohua Fort?" As soon as the cannon sounded, the walls of Taohua Fort were immediately replaced with the fishing rod and hook flags of the David Kingdom. Tong Yangliang then realized that he had been tricked.

The people who came were Nagat, the Prince of Dawei Tuogucheng, and his 10,000 warriors. Nagat was ordered by the Great Khan Lianhua to lead his army to reinforce the Prince of Qi. When he arrived near Heishan, he heard that the Qing army was attacking Yuzhou, so he took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to attack Taohua Fort and planned to harass the Qing army's food supply. Later, the scouts found that a Qing army was approaching, and ordered people to deliberately plant Qing army flags on the fort wall to confuse the enemy, which really caught Tong Yangliang by surprise.

"Warriors, now is the time to kill the generals and seize the flags!" Nagat shouted, holding a knife in his left hand and a gun in his right hand, and he was the first to kill Tong Yangliang's "Tong" flag. He looked very much like his father Sumur, and was followed by his wolf-like subordinates. At the beginning, the Great Khan sent him to lead an army of 10,000 to reinforce the King of Qi, and the King of Chu Baoyin and the King of Zhao Biligendalai led an army of 20,000 to reinforce the Crown Prince. He wanted to compete with Baoyin and Biligendalai for the limelight. As soon as he entered Shanxi, he attacked Taohua Fort. When he saw the "Tong" flag, he thought that Tong Yangliang was here, and he became more eager to compete for merit. He did not avoid arrows and stones, and bravely moved forward.

The Qing army was extremely exhausted and caught off guard. How could they be a match for the well-prepared and well-rested Wei army? They were quickly killed and dispersed.

"The governor, hurry up, I will cover your back." Lin Guoliang, the deputy general of the central camp of the governor's flag, ordered his men to escort Tong Yangliang to go first, and he led hundreds of personal guards to cover the rear. Just as they had hastily formed the battle array, a young general in a red robe came towards them, slashing with his left hand, and while Deputy General Lin was trying to parry, he thrust out his right lance like a ghost, piercing his throat with a spear.

After killing Lin Guoliang's troops, Nagat led 2,000 light cavalry to continue the pursuit. Poor Tong Yangliang had just escaped for three miles when he was caught up again. Seeing his guards dying one after another, the old governor knew that he was doomed, and he bowed to Nagat and said, "I am Tong Yangliang, the governor of Xuanda. Who are you? You have a good plan!"

"Haha, I'll let you die knowingly. I am Nagat, the prince of David's Tuogu City." Nagat pointed the scimitar in his left hand at the old man, and was very proud. "With so many outstanding people in Weiguo, it's no wonder that it can prosper! Your Majesty, I will do my best!" Tong Yangliang sighed, tried his best to suppress his violent cough, and drew his knife to cut his neck.

Seeing that the old man was so resolute, Nagat put away his contempt, ordered a grand burial, and sent someone to notify the King of Qi to join him.

"Haha, I planned everything, but I didn't expect that this guy would get the upper hand!" After receiving the battle report sent by his cousin, King Melas of Qi could not help but sigh that his cousin was lucky and led his army to join him. After the two kings joined forces, the number of troops approached 60,000, and the momentum was even greater.

On the bank of the Guishui River, Crown Prince Zhuo Ligetu looked at the letter on the table that his old father had sent him in an urgent journey of 800 miles, with a frown on his face. The battle of Xuanfu went smoothly at the beginning, and it took little effort to capture the important military town of Juyongguan, but there was nothing they could do about the long Guishui River. On the other side of the river, the pseudo-Qing Beile Dulan, Gushan Ezhen Aljin, Bashan, and the first-class guard Jie Yin were all veterans who were good at fighting and defended very tightly. The 100,000-strong army stopped at the riverside and stalemated with the 60,000 to 70,000 Qing troops for several months.

"What is in the Khan's letter that bothers you so much?" asked Ma La, the confidant and the Junior Secretary.

"Look for yourself," Zhuo Ligetu handed the immortal letter to his confidant unhappily.

Ma La took a look and saw that it said, "In the beginning, it was difficult to establish a country. A brave warrior could defeat a hundred at a time, and you could travel the world with only a few thousand cavalry. Now you have an army of 100,000, but you are controlled by a small river. Wouldn't you be laughed at by the world? The son is not like the father! I have sent the kings of Chu and Zhao to lead 20,000 troops to help. You must take Yanqing Prefecture as soon as possible without any mistake!" After reading it, he changed color and said, "These days, the king of Qi and the king of Jin have made many military achievements, but you have never been able to cross the river. The Khan is quite dissatisfied with you. The phrase 'the son is not like the father' is very serious. Your Highness must cross the river before the kings of Chu and Zhao arrive."

Zhuoligetu's face became even worse. "Alas! I know my father is unhappy, but the Qing troops on the other side are all elite, and there is the danger of the Guishui River. How can it be so easy to cross the river?"

"I have been surveying the water conditions every day these days and have discovered that the weather has turned colder and ice has appeared on the Guishui River. It is estimated that it will freeze over in a few days. By then, crossing the river will be as easy as walking on flat ground. You should put all your strength into launching an attack."

Hearing this, Zhuoligetu looked much better and nodded repeatedly. In order to boost morale, the crown prince deliberately ordered people to build a high platform in the camp and personally led the generals to pray to God.

On December 1664, , the Guishui River froze over. The overjoyed Crown Prince issued a battle declaration to his subordinates, "Eternal Heaven heard our prayers, so it made the thousand-mile river as flat as the ground. Warriors, I command you to face the cold wind and step on the ice to advance! Haorui~"

"Haorui~Haorui~Haorui~" Thinking that they had received help from God, the morale of the guards was greatly boosted and they bravely crossed the river.

The Qing army commander Du Lan fought desperately but still failed. On the 1665th, the guards crossed the Guishui River, and the Jiala Zhangjing Boduo Hengao was killed in battle; on the st, the guards captured Yongning and Huailai guards, threatening Yanqing Prefecture from two sides; on January st of the nd year of Qianyuan (), the guards captured Yanqing Prefecture. Du Lan had no choice but to lead the defeated army to retreat to Xuanfu Town. (End of this chapter)
