Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

"Form a battle array! Quickly form a battle array!" Wang Guotai was somewhat confused by the ambush troops that appeared near Wuchong River. When did Xiuyan City fall? Why didn't Qingshan send anyone to report the news? Soon, he found a familiar face among the enemies who ambushed him. It was Qingshan! This guy actually surrendered again!
"Qingshan, I'm going to skin you alive!" Wang Zongzhen howled angrily. But he didn't expect Qingshan didn't want to let him go either, and rushed towards his general flag. The Solon generals Taldai, Alanjika, and Xiluganu also led their troops to charge fearlessly. Although the number of guards was large, they were exhausted after fierce fighting and continuous marching, and soon the army was dispersed. The skin of someone who vowed to skin the enemy alive was also in danger.

Wang Yiwen came to his side and said, "General, I will hold back the Qing invaders, you quickly retreat to Gaizhou."

Wang Guotai knew that because of Wang Yiwen's caution, the Korean Han Brigade suffered the least casualties and still retained a certain combat effectiveness. At this time, he could only rely on them.

"Qi Yang (Wang Yiwen), be careful and make sure you get to Gaizhou alive!" He bowed to Wang Yiwen and ordered his troops to break out to the west.

"Soldiers, revenge begins today! Follow me to kill the enemy!" Wang Yiwen shouted, using his body as a spearhead to charge at the Qing army. Seeing their leader fighting desperately, Yang Fuji, Feng Sanshi, Pei Sansheng, Wang Wenxiang, Zheng Xianjia, Huang Gong, Liu Xishan and other generals of the Eight Surnames of Suilong also rushed towards the Qing army with red eyes. As Ming Dynasty survivors who were captured and enslaved in Shengjing, each of them had a family member who died at the hands of the Qing army. How could they not avenge their national hatred and family feud?

Although the Solon soldiers were always elite, they only had 1,000 soldiers after all, and the surrendered Qingshan tribe had only 1,300 soldiers. In the previous battle, although the Han Brigade lost 400 people, it still had 1,600 people, which was more than the Qing army. Even though the combat power was far inferior to the enemy, they had a blood feud and their morale was extremely high, and they entangled the Qing army tightly. In the fierce battle, Yang Fuji was shot by several arrows and died on the horse, shouting "Kill the prisoners" before his death; Feng Sanshi killed several enemies in a row, but was stabbed to death by the spear of the Solon brave general Alanjika; Liu Xishan rolled off the horse holding a Qing soldier and was trampled into meat paste by the horse's hooves.

Wang Yiwen didn't care about that and aimed at Qingshan's flag to kill him. Being good at observation, he found that among the Qing troops that ambushed him, Qingshan's army had the most chaotic formation and was far less powerful than other Qing troops, so he planned to defeat Qingshan first.

Seeing the enemy coming, Qingshan did not surrender or flee this time, but fulfilled his duty as a general and fought desperately with Wang Yiwen. Seeing that his brother could not win the battle for a long time, Wang Wenxiang rode his horse to help. In the double battle, Qingshan gradually felt exhausted, his sword skills were scattered, and he was careless and was killed by Wang Yiwen.

"Hmph!" Not far away, Solon Jiala Zhangjing Taldai discovered Wang Yiwen, slowly took out an armor-piercing arrow from the quiver on the deer's back, drew the bow and shot him.

"Brother, be careful!" Wang Wenxiang glanced sideways and saw the enemy general drawing his bow, and rode his horse to block in front of Wang Yiwen's horse.

"Swoosh!" The arrow was so fast, as fast as lightning, it pierced through Wang Wenxiang's armor and shot through his heart.

"Plop!" Wang Wenxiang fell off his horse without saying a word.

"My dear brother!" Wang Yiwen dismounted and picked up Wang Wenxiang's body, but he could not bring him back to life. "Ah~" The training general of the Han Brigade of the Korean army let out a sad and angry roar, and got back on his horse, ready to fight the Qing army to the death.

"Brother, General Wang has already rushed out. Please break out as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late once the pursuers arrive," training lieutenant Pei Sansheng hurriedly advised.

"Yes, brother, you are the commander of the entire army, please be responsible for the lives of the soldiers," another training general Zheng Xianjia also advised.

Wang Yiwen regained consciousness and carefully observed the battlefield situation. He saw that Wang Guotai had successfully led the remnants to break through. His mission was completed, so he slowly ordered: "Retreat." The Han army rushed to Gaizhou upon hearing the order, and the Qing army followed closely behind. During the retreat, Huang Gong, another leader of the Longba clan, was shot in the back of the neck by a Qiler who was riding a deer and died.

Wang Guotai stood on the top of Gaizhou City, looking into the distance, not looking at the scenery, but waiting for Wang Yiwen. If it weren't for the sacrifice of the Han Brigade, he would have died on the Yalu River or outside Xiuyan City. Although Wang Zongzhen was always cunning and capricious, he still had some loyalty in his heart. After escaping, he looked into the distance every day from the top of the city, waiting for news from the Han Brigade.

"General, the Qing army is brutal, and I'm afraid General Wang has been killed in the battle. The wind is strong on the city wall, please return to the camp and rest first," the subordinates urged.

"No, it's not dark yet, wait a little longer," Wang Guotai refused to reply. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and a military flag with a large "Han" character embroidered on it appeared in his pupils. "Quick, open the city gate, the Han army is back! Brother Wang is back!" The capricious commander actually shed tears of excitement.

After two consecutive defeats, the Wei army and the Korean army lost half of their troops, and only 4,000 defeated soldiers fled back to Gaizhou. Fortunately, there were still 1,000 defenders in Gaizhou, which barely made up 5,000. Wang Guotai did not dare to fight, but defended the city and rushed to Shenyang and Jinzhou for help. Bahai, the Angbang Zhangjing of Ningguta, ignored the Wei army that fled to Gaizhou, but deployed troops on the Yalu River and sent envoys to Korea to ask the Korean king Li Jian for military supplies and troops. He especially liked the Korean musketeers. When his father, Sharhuda, was the Ningguta Zhangjing, he recruited Korean musketeers to fight the Russians.

At Changdeok Palace in Seoul, King Lee Jin politely sent away the envoy sent by Bahai, the Angbang Janggyo of Ningguta, and the cavalry officer Sabsu, and summoned all the ministers to discuss. The envoy was elegant and obviously from a prominent family, but his words were faintly murderous, "Your country is a vassal of the Qing Dynasty. The Western Barbarians are rebellious, and it is the duty of the vassal to send troops and provide funds to help in the war. The Qing Dynasty does not lack some help, but it wants to see whether your country is loyal or treacherous. You can think about it yourself."

Although he knew that a few battles would not change the overall situation, and that the Qing was still at a disadvantage in Liaodong, and that the Qing envoy's words were mostly bluffing, Li Jian still felt uneasy when he thought of Sabsu's confident and murderous look, and asked, "We just concluded an alliance with Wei, and the Wei army was defeated. What can we do?"

"Your Highness, our Dynasty has formed an alliance with the Wei State and sent troops to help. To suddenly break the alliance is a breach of trust. Although the Wei army has suffered a minor setback, it still has the upper hand in Liaodong. We must not agree to the Qing army's demands, otherwise there will be trouble in the future," said Prime Minister Zheng Taihe, one of the founders of the Chao-Wei alliance, who spoke out in opposition.

"What the Prime Minister said is wrong. The so-called alliance was actually forced by the rebel army. It was not our army that sent troops to help, but the Ming Dynasty's survivors. Although the Liaodong Wei army has a slight advantage, the Qing Dynasty is vast and rich in resources, and its national strength is far superior to that of the Wei Dynasty. It is the best strategy to unite with the Qing to resist the Wei Dynasty." The Right Prime Minister Yuan Dou Shao has always been pro-Qing. Seeing that no one said anything, he added, "I heard that the Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing Bahai is cruel and ruthless. Even the barbaric Luosha people are afraid of him. If you don't agree, he will definitely send troops to Seoul. Why refuse him?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

"I think that the Fanhu (a derogatory term for the Jurchens in Korea) in Liaodong have been cut off from Zhili and mostly occupy cold and bitter lands. What they want most is food and supplies, and they don't really care whether Korea sends troops to help or not. Therefore, we only need to provide some money, food and supplies, and there is no need to send troops to help," said Song Shiyeol, the left supporter, calmly.

"Well, what the Left Prime Minister said makes sense," Li Yu nodded repeatedly and sighed: The matter of peace talks with the Qing will be handed over to the Right Prime Minister."

"I will do my best!"

Yuan Dou Shao gladly accepted the order. He had always been close to the Qing Dynasty and had some friendship with Bahai's father, Sharhuda. The two sides quickly reached an agreement: Korea would not send troops to help the war for the time being, but would provide the Qing army with 300 muskets, 500 swords and shields, 500 sets of bows and arrows, 300 sets of armor, 200 carts of rice, 500 bolts of homespun cloth, and 30,000 taels of silver.
