Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 622 Marshal He defeated Manchuria

After three consecutive days of bloody battles and endless fighting, even though the Qing and Tu Xietu troops tried their best, they could not capture the southern and northern mountains of Zhaomodo.

On the fourth day, the troops of Balsi, the great general of David's expedition to the north, and Ananda Gushi, the deputy general of the northern expedition, arrived at Zhaomodo almost at the same time. Seeing that the enemy was attacking the mountain from the south and the north, Balsi made an immediate decision. He ordered Urigendalai, the chief of ten thousand households in Junggar, and Jambi, the general of Hobokseri, to lead 15,000 elite troops to penetrate the middle and cut the Qing army and Tuxietu army in half; he also sent someone to inform Ananda Gu In fact, encirclement from the north and south surrounds the enemy like an iron barrel.

"This commander's military order is to only defend but not attack. Anyone who dares to go out to fight without authorization will be killed!" Baershu roared and ordered. His strategy was very clear: deep ditches and barriers, and wait until the enemy's food is exhausted. This method seemed slow, but it was very effective. Jidu and Gunbu tried their best to break through, but they were helpless in front of the trenches and earthen walls of the guard. Gradually, the food was exhausted, and the soldiers had to kill horses to satisfy their hunger. What's worse is that they are like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, blocked by the guards. Although they are very close, they can't get the news. They can only pray to the gods eagerly to lower the Magpie Bridge.

In May of the 1654th year of Qianyuan (), Mobei was full of vitality, but the Tuxietu military camp, which was short of food and drink, was desolate. Suddenly, a group of herdsmen, old and young, appeared on the guard wall opposite.

"Sleng, my son, are you still alive? The Guards were very kind to us after they occupied Urg. They neither killed nor robbed us. Every household was registered with David and the pastures were divided. My son! Come back quickly. Come on, don’t fight anymore, come back and live a happy life with me, you and your brothers and sisters.”

"Aorigele, my husband, the old men of the Kingdom of David have said that as long as you surrender, let bygones be bygones. You are just a captain of ten, not a high official. If you put down your sword and gun, nothing will happen."

"Eqi Ge, I am Zamusu. Come back quickly. Ehe and I are waiting for you."

Hearing the calls one after another, the warriors of Tu Xie Tu were heartbroken. It turned out that Ananda Gushi, the deputy general of the Northern Expedition, was well-read and knowledgeable. He told Balsi that "attacking the city is the bottom priority, and attacking the heart is the top priority." He brought over the family members of the Tuxietu army in the Urg area and ordered them to shout to persuade them to surrender. , more than 20,000 people were transported.

The calls of relatives made the already demoralized Tuxietu army even more demoralized. Every night, some people escaped and surrendered. Even if more soldiers and horses are sent to patrol, it will not help.

"How many people escaped last night?" Gunbu asked his third son, Xili Batur, in a calm tone, but the sudden addition of white hair on his temples revealed his inner anxiety.

"One hundred and twenty people were missing last night." Sidi Siribatur lowered his head to comfort his old father, "Eqi Ge, don't be angry. We have been surrounded for more than a month, and the Qing Dynasty will definitely send some troops. Reinforcements are coming. Even if they don't save us, they will save General Beida. He is the prince of the Qing Dynasty."

"Yeah." After listening to his son's words, Gunbu regained some of his brilliance and glanced in the direction of the Qing army's camp in Nanshan.

Bobei, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, came to Balsi's tent. As soon as they met, he congratulated Balsi, "I congratulate the general on his pacification of Manchuria and his unparalleled military exploits."

"Hahaha, why did the minister say this? I just pacified Khalkha for the Great Khan. How can you say that Manchuria was pacified?" Balsi thought he was complimenting himself, but it was just too exaggerated. Laugh happily.

Bobei also smiled and continued: "Not only did you annihilate the Tuxie Tu tribe in one breath, you also wiped out the Qing Dynasty's 14,000 troops and a county prince. How could Emperor Shunzhi give up? If you send troops to retaliate, a war between Wei and Qing will inevitably break out. With your bravery, it will be easy to bring down Manchuria. If the Great Khan knew about it, he would probably feel that the original edict that ordered you to exercise restraint and not cause a war was too conservative. ".

Hearing this, Barth's face was filled with uncertainty. Yes, I had a great time beating them. I even surrounded and annihilated the Tuxie Tu people and the Qing army in one breath. I never thought about the possible revenge of the Qing army and the possibility of a fierce battle between the Qing and Wei forces. The Great Khan repeatedly ordered me to exercise restraint and not to trigger a war with the Manchus. If I didn't listen, wouldn't I be rebelling?

Although he was an old and important minister of the Kingdom of David, he was still a little frightened when he thought of Sultan Khan's dragon power. He hurriedly asked Bobei for advice: "What you said is that I got carried away with my pride. But in this situation, the arrow has been cocked. Please give me some advice on how to take it back." "If the general agrees, I am willing to go to the Qing army camp to negotiate peace with them," Bobei said firmly.

Barth looked at his face and finally nodded slowly.

In the camp of the Qing army, Jidu, Suksaha, Sunahai and Luo Shuo were gathering together. They were thinking hard and frowning, when they suddenly called Bobei, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites of David, to see him.

"This must be someone sent by the Guards to persuade them to surrender. We are the people of the Qing Dynasty in life and will be the ghosts of the Qing Dynasty in death. We will never surrender," Suksaha shouted.

"I am the imperial envoy and represent the emperor's face. I would rather kill myself than surrender," Sunahai also said.

"I heard that Prince Jingjin shouted before his death: 'No one can retreat when our army attacks the thieves. I am a member of the clan, so what will happen if I retreat?' He fought hard and died fighting the thieves. I can do what he can do," Ji Du expressed his stance in a serious tone.

"Haha, gentlemen, you are overly worried. I believe that the envoys of the guards are not here to persuade us to surrender, but to discuss peace." Luo Shuo was calm and relaxed.

"Oh, why?" Jidu asked in surprise.

"If they want to persuade them to surrender, they can just send someone to come. Why send a high-ranking official like the Minister of Rites? Bobei is the imperial envoy of Lotus Khan of Weiguo stationed in Mobei. With such a status, taking risks, there is no doubt that he will negotiate for peace." Luo Shuo explained calmly.

"Yes or no, we have to see the real Buddha before we can tell." Jidu regained some of his energy and calmly ordered, "Come here, Duobu Jiabing, I want to meet the right minister of the Ministry of Rites."

Bobei walked into the Jidu camp in a swagger. Seeing him coming, the soldiers at the entrance of the commander's tent set up their scimitars. The right minister of the Ministry of Rites, who had seen the big scene, was not afraid. He walked under the sword mountain and lowered his neck into the handsome tent with a smile.

"Qingwei is a country of in-laws, how can a general be so rude?" He took the lead, and as soon as he came up, he became the guest and asked Jidu loudly.

"You still have the nerve to say that the Qing Dynasty and David are related by marriage? Why did the Guards attack us?" Jidu asked angrily.

"It was obviously your country that provoked first. Norbu Khan of Jasaktu was the Anda of Lotus Khan. After his death, his son Wangchuk took refuge with the Khan. It is reasonable and reasonable for the Khan to send troops to support Wangchuk's succession. , Unexpectedly, Tushetu Khan Gonbu started to covet Zasaktu, which triggered the war. Your army helped Tushetu's tribe to fight against our army indiscriminately, how can you blame our army instead?" Bobei retorted.
