Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

It's winter. The southern part of Liaoning is covered in snow, peaceful and silent. Snowflakes fall lightly, many rivers begin to freeze, and the sky turns gray. Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight shine through the clouds, bringing warmth to this cold land.

"Gee~Gee~Gee~" The guards' captain Setel and the captain Ayuqi led the most elite thousand-man team and galloped on horseback across the cold grassland.

Both of them were descendants of Mongolian noble families, and their backgrounds were extraordinary. Seter was a veteran of the Guards and the second son of Tarhun, the second-class Guanglingbo. Although Tarhun's title was not very high, he was the seventh son of the Grand Taiji Dalaitaishi of the Durbet tribe and the seventh uncle of the Queen Uliji Bayar; Ayuqi was the grandson of Baibagas Khan of the Khoshut tribe and the son of Grand Taiji Abarai. When Baibagas Khan died in the Oirat civil war, Gao Yunbiji took the young Abarai to the Great Khan Lianhua, and was named a virtuous concubine. Abarai also became the Great Khan's adopted son, so in name Ayuqi was the Great Khan's adopted grandson. Because his mother, Solangcuomu, was born a singer of low status, Chu Wang Baoyin knew that he had no chance of becoming a Khan, so he attached himself to his elder brother, the Crown Prince Zhuo Ligetu, and Seter was the Crown Prince's cousin, so he naturally had to be taken care of; Ayuqi had a close relationship with his father Khan, so naturally he could not be left out of his benefits. The Kingdom of David attached great importance to military merit, so Baoyin, who knew how to behave, let these two serve as pioneers and make many contributions. He led Zasaktu Gong Wangchuk, Chechen Hou Babu, Saiyin Nuoyan Botasxibu, Du Qianhu Chang Xidi Xili Batur and other generals and 5,000 cavalry from Mobei as the central army, and at the end were 1,000 infantrymen from the Korean training general Wang Yiwen riding on ox carts.

The vanguard of the guards arrived at the Wuchong River, which was frozen. Setel ordered his men to find a section of the river where the ice was thick enough for people and horses to pass through, and prepare to cross the river. Although he was only in his twenties, he was no stranger to war, having followed his father and brother to fight. After finding a suitable crossing point, he was not in a hurry to cross the river, but first sent out scouts to check if there were any enemy ambushes on the other side. Soon, news came that no trace of the enemy was found on the other side.

"Ayuqi, you lead 500 people to cross the river first, and I will lead 500 people to cross later," Setel gave the military order decisively.

"Captain, what do you mean? Since there are no enemies on the other side, why don't we cross the river together?" A Yuqi asked in confusion.

"I heard that the Sauron soldiers under Bahai are good at hiding their tracks. To prevent any accidents, we will split into two teams and cross the river. In case we are attacked, we will have someone to support us."

"Yes." Although he felt it was unnecessary, military orders were as firm as mountains after all. The sixteen-year-old Ayuqi still followed the order and led 500 cavalrymen to slowly cross the Wuchong River.

This river is the river to the west of Xiuyan City. It flows from Pianling to the southeast and is named after the pedestrians who crossed it five times. Things in the world are often full of miracles. The scouts did not find the ambush, but someone was hiding in the snow on the opposite bank. Solon Niulu Zhangjing Moergenbao stretched out his hand to tighten the cloak and robe on his body, gritted his teeth and insisted, not moving at all. Behind him were 500 warriors from the wild Jurchen dog tribe (Hezhe). These people were born for ice and snow. They can use wooden poles to support sleds and travel hundreds of miles a day. Because there are no horses and large livestock, they have grown up in the ice and snow and can withstand the cold. They lie in the snow, and even experienced scouts can hardly detect them.

When the cavalry of the Guards appeared on the west bank of the Wuchong River, Moergenbao, who was in charge of patrolling the river, immediately ordered his subordinates to hide and sent people to Xiuyan City to report to the Jiala Zhangjing Taldai. Taldai had 1,000 Qiler deer-riding warriors, 500 dog-riding sled soldiers, 500 Heilongjiang Huerha (Daur) warriors, and 1,000 Eight Banners outside the Pass stationed in Fenghuang City, Zhenjiang, and Kuandian Fort. Because most of the elite Eight Banners outside the Pass had been lost in the war, a small part of the so-called Eight Banners outside the Pass came from the original Eight Banners soldiers of Xiuyan City who surrendered to the Guards and then to the Qing Dynasty, and most of them were temporarily recruited Eight Banners outside the Pass, and their combat power was far less powerful than that of the Solon soldiers.

"The guards are crossing the Wuchong River? How many people are there?" In Xiuyan City, upon hearing the news, Taldai glared at Moergenbao's messenger and asked.

"To report to Zhangjing, the main enemy force has not arrived yet. The vanguard has about a thousand people, all cavalry. Judging from their equipment and flags, they do not look like the Han soldiers under Wang Guotai. They should be enemy reinforcements from Shengjing," the messenger answered calmly.

"Reinforcements from Shengjing?" Taldai thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "The pseudo-Khan is in the Khorchin grassland now, and there are not many troops left in Shengjing, and the enemy is at most a few thousand. Since their main force has not arrived yet, and the vanguard is no more than a thousand people, we will eat up their vanguard and make a contribution in front of the Marshal." "I am willing to be your vanguard," Niulu Zhang Jing Guiying requested loudly.

"You kid, you always want to be the first to win in every battle," Taldai glared at him amusedly and ordered him to lead 500 Daur people on horseback as the vanguard, and he himself led 1,000 Qiler people on deer to follow closely behind, galloping towards the Wuchong River.

The crossing was smooth, and the guards encountered no obstacles, as if it was just a journey. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, blowing off Ayuqi's helmet tassel. "What a strange thing, it blew so strong for no reason," he muttered in dissatisfaction, and just as he was about to order his men to line up, he suddenly opened his mouth wide. Suddenly, "ghosts" wearing heavy fur cloaks stood up in the snow. The "ghosts" lined up in a horizontal line, took out the longbows behind their backs, and aimed at David's warriors.

"Shoot!" With this military order, hundreds of sharp arrows flew towards Ayuqi and his men, knocking down a large number of the unsuspecting guards.

"Oh no! Enemy attack! Quickly form a battle formation, follow me!" Ayuqi, who had come to his senses, planned to use the impact of the cavalry to kill these archers. However, his subordinates who had just crossed the river were in a mess, unable to quickly form a battle formation, and unable to take advantage of the cavalry.

The Soran soldiers shot arrows very quickly, one after another, and people were constantly shot down in the rain of arrows. Although the guards could shoot, they were sitting on horses, the target was too big, and they were in a mess and had no formation, so they became targets for the enemy.

"Dismount and shoot at them!" Upon seeing this, Ayuqi ordered his men to dismount and shoot at the Sauron soldiers.

"Put on your sled (Hezhe language: sled) and follow me to charge!" Seeing the enemy dismounting and shooting on foot, Mergenbao changed the military order.

Five hundred dog warriors put on the sled boards, supported the wooden poles with their left hands, held the spears in their right hands, and paddled through the snow quickly. The sleds left deep marks on the snow. Their eyes were fierce and determined, as if they were the masters of this snowy country. In a short period of time, the speed of the sleds was much faster than that of the horses. Soon, the Soran soldiers rushed to the middle of the guards and stabbed the people and horses with their spears.

The guards were caught off guard and fell into panic. Many warriors lost their lives inexplicably after seeing nothing. As more and more people died, even the warriors who had experienced many battles became terrified, and some began to mount their horses and flee to the rear. Gradually, more and more people fled, and even Ayuqi himself was forced to mount his horse and flee under the coercion of his subordinates. (End of this chapter)
