Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Lai Tuku, Jin Wanyi, Jin Zhong and others led 2,000 remnants to flee back to Gaizhou, and after joining forces with the Yunyang General Mu Shenghui who remained in Gaizhou, there were only 4,000 soldiers left. It was not that his army had only so few people left, but that the army had been broken up, and many remnants were scattered everywhere, and there was no time to gather together.

"Quick! Gather the troops and head south to Fuzhou immediately," Lai Tuku gave a loud order as soon as he saw Mu Shenghui.

Seeing the commander's state, Mu Shenghui knew what had happened, needless to say, and immediately ordered his men to abandon the baggage and march south in formation.

Looking at the soldiers lined up in battle formation, Lai Tuku breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Let's go!" Suddenly he shuddered, and the image of the pursuing guards appeared in his pupils.

There were only a few pursuers, only a thousand of them, including Sengge, the chief of a thousand households, and his thousand warriors from the Maoming'an tribe who were guarding the King of Chu, Baoyin. During the battle with the Solon soldiers, Baoyin discovered that the sleds used by the Solon people could move quickly in the snow, even faster than horses, so he ordered people to copy a batch of equipment for Sengge's troops. While other troops were restricted by the wind and snow and could not run fast, this troop could paddle quickly in the wind and snow, almost catching up with Lai Tuku.

"Attack, defeat them!" The experienced Lai Tuku found that the number of pursuers was small, and planned to defeat this pursuer first and then retreat. Otherwise, with the speed of the sled, he would not be able to get rid of them. The four thousand Qing troops moved upon hearing the order and killed the one thousand pursuers. Don't chase a desperate enemy. At this time, the Qing army was a desperate enemy and was particularly fierce.

"Kill, kill, kill~" The gate of Gaizhou suddenly opened, and Wang Guotai, the general of Liaonan, led 3,000 well-rested defenders to fight out of the city. Marshal Wang has not been idle these days. While the main force of the Qing army besieging the city left Gaizhou, he sent scouts to sneak out of the city to get information everywhere. Today, the scouts reported that the defeated Qing army was found outside the city, so he knew that he had won the war. Hearing that his pursuers had arrived outside the city, he immediately ordered Liaonan prefect Luo Wenliang and Gaizhou prefect Liu Jiaji to take the yamen runners and civilians to defend the city, and he, deputy general Zhang Peng, guerrilla Chen Dayu, and garrison commander Bai Yunming led 3,000 defenders out of the city to help.

Don't be fooled by the ferocious appearance of the Qing army. In fact, they were defeated and their morale was in disarray. They fought hard just to escape. Marshal Wang suddenly led his troops out of the city to attack, which immediately became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Soon the Qing army panicked.

Although Sengge's men only had a thousand men, they were the elite guarding the King of Chu. After a short battle, they killed Jin Zhong, the commander of the Red Banner Army of the Han Army. Seeing that the situation was not good, Mu Shenghui quickly escorted Lai Tuku to Lianyun Island, where more than 300 naval officers and soldiers under the command of Li Sizhong, the garrison commander of the Jinzhou Naval Camp of the Qing Dynasty, as well as ten warships and thirty civilian ships were stationed. This was the retreat route reserved by the shrewd Lai Tuku for his army.

Seeing his defeat, Li Sizhong hurriedly led his fleet to the shore to pick up the defeated soldiers. However, his ships were small sea vessels, each of which could only carry an average of 30 people, while there were 3,000 defeated soldiers on the beach. Some people killed each other in order to grab the ships. After finally taking on board more than a thousand people, the flags of the pursuing soldiers appeared in the distance.

"sail!"

Li Sizhong decisively ordered the ships to sail, and forty ships left the shore, leaving his comrades left on the beach crying and wailing.

Seeing this scene, Lai Tuku, who was on board the boat, burst into tears. He said nothing and let the sea breeze blow the sail away.

Qing general Jin Wanyi ran a little late, and when he fled to the beach, his fleet had already left. With nowhere else to go, he led more than a thousand remaining soldiers to raise the flag of surrender on the beach.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, on your victory!" Inside the Wei army camp, all the generals congratulated King Baoyin of Chu in unison.

"Everyone, now is not the time to celebrate. Follow me to Fuzhou immediately. I will skin that bastard Gu Si alive!" Baoyin said coldly. He hated Gu Si so much. If that bastard had not offered Fuzhou, how could the Qing army have landed so easily, and how could they have turned Liaonan upside down! "Go to Fuzhou", "Don't let Gu Si escape", "Skin that bastard alive" the generals echoed.

Seeing that the army was ready, Baoyin ordered his men to rest in Gaizhou for one night and set out at dawn the next day. To prevent Gu Si from escaping, he ordered Sengge to lead a thousand sled soldiers to set out first, and he led the army to follow. When they set out, there were 4,000 unique troops in the Wei army. This army was composed of surrendered soldiers and prisoners, and was commanded by two surrendered generals, Jin Wanyi and Huang Guozhong.

Sengge's army marched very fast and quickly appeared outside Fuzhou City, blocking the escape route of the defenders. The army of Chu Wang Baoyin arrived soon and surrounded the entire city. Liu Kongxi, the commander of the Qing Jiaozhou Navy Camp and the garrison commander stationed at Yangguanbao Wharf, saw that the situation was not going well and sailed away without hesitation, leaving the defenders in the city isolated.

After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, the deputy general of Fuzhou, Gu Si, expanded his subordinates to 1,000, but he was trapped before he could even feel complacent. Looking at the densely packed flags of the guards outside the city, the old general looked pale, but he had no intention of surrendering. He was the one who let the Qing army into southern Liaoning. Would it be good for him if he surrendered?
After all, he was a veteran who had been on the battlefield for many years. He ordered his men to carry out more than ten boxes of silver to encourage his subordinates, "Kill the enemies well! For every head you behead, you will be rewarded with two taels of silver." When they heard that there was a reward, their subordinates were also encouraged.

"Fire!" Saiyinnuoyanbotashib ordered the cannon to fire. Some days ago, he was ordered by King Baoyin of Chu to escort the cannon and the baggage camp. He missed the battle and thus failed to make any contribution. This time he was determined to gain some credit.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~" Hundreds of cannons poured fire on the city walls. Although it did not cause too much casualties to the defenders, it successfully intimidated the enemy.

"Kill~kill~kill~"

Jin Wanyi and Huang Guozhong led 4,000 surrendered soldiers to attack the city. Although they were surrendered soldiers, they fought more fiercely than the main force of the Wei army. After a day of fierce fighting, the two generals broke through Fuzhou and found Gu Si's body.

"Is this Gu Si? He got it easy," Baoyin sneered as he looked at the wounded corpse. "Come here, wash the body of that fellow, skin him, stuff him with straw and hang him at the city gate for public display. Even if he dies, I will skin him alive!"

At the left base of Jinzhou City, Lai Tuku, who had fled here with the remnants of his army, immediately convened a meeting of the navy generals. When Xue Xun, Qu Zhonghe, Jin Jun, and Liu Guang saw the pale faces of Lai Tuku, Mu Shenghui, and others, they had already guessed the outcome of the battle.

"Our army has been defeated, and Admiral Dong is believed to have died for his country," Lai Tuku sighed and ordered, "Pass on my order, and the entire army will return to Dengzhou immediately. Before retreating, you must capture the people of Jinzhou City and Zhongzuo, and burn the two cities to ashes!"

"Huh~" The generals were cheered up upon hearing the order.

The brutal military order led to brutal consequences. The Qing army burned, killed and looted crazily in Jinzhou City and Zhongzuo, killing more than 2,000 civilians and abducting more than 8,000 civilians, and burned the two cities to the ground.

Looking at the fire rising into the sky, Lai Tuku ordered the ship to sail. He did this not to vent his anger or to rob, but to weaken the war potential of Weiguo. If he lost the war, the emperor would definitely hold him accountable. His official career was over, so he should regard it as his last time to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty! (End of this chapter)
