Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

"Shoot!" Seeing the defenders shooting arrows, Yabulan also ordered to shoot. Archers from both sides shot at each other, and people kept falling down after being shot.

The trenches failed to stop the horses of the Qing cavalry, but the earthen walls did. These earthen walls were made temporarily with earthen bags filled with soil. They were no more than ten feet high, but they made it impossible for the horses to jump over them. The guards piled up steps with earthen bags inside the earthen walls. Soldiers could climb up the steps and shoot down. If a soldier died in battle, the soldiers below would take his place. Because the guards were in a high position and had the earthen walls to cover them, with only their upper bodies exposed, they suffered less losses than the Qing army in the exchange of fire.

Seeing that the horses could not jump over the earthen wall, Yabulan ordered his men to dismount and fight on foot. Team after team of Eight Banner soldiers carried long ladders and ran towards the earthen wall. The two sides fought fiercely outside Xizhimen, fighting to the death, and the corpses piled up under the earthen wall.

Looking at the enemies surging under the wall, Galdama frowned and suddenly sneered: "Make way and let them in."

The fearless and fierce attack of the Eight Banners warriors finally paid off. Zhuo Erbin, the commander of the Zhenglan Banner Guard, held a sign in his left hand and a knife in his right hand and led his personal guards to capture a section of the earth wall. After pulling open the wall, a large gap was revealed.

"Warriors, for the Qing Dynasty~ kill~" Zhuo Erbin roared, mounted his horse and led his men to rush in. He was once the first-class guard in front of Emperor Shunzhi, famous for his bravery.

"He is worthy of being someone close to the emperor! What a hero!" Yabulan was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered the central army to follow. Shu Xilan, the Manchu lieutenant commander of the Bordered Yellow Banner, also led his troops to follow closely behind.

However, the Eight Banners soldiers who entered the camp soon discovered that there was a long wooden fence in the camp, and behind the fence were rows of shooters holding muskets and bows. Blocked by the fence, the Qing army in front could not move forward, and the Qing army behind continued to pour in.

"Oh no! We've fallen into a trap! Retreat!" Yabulan was shocked and quickly gave the order. But it was too late. The captain of the guards, Galdama, sneered and said one word: "Shoot!"

"Bah~bah~bah~"

"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~"

Countless arrows were fired at the densely packed Qing army. Zhuo Erbin, the commander of the Zhenglan Banner Guards, who was at the forefront, was trying hard to urge his men to cut the fence. Suddenly, his body shook, and a large bullet hole appeared on his chest. All his strength was drained away, and he fell to the ground helplessly. In a short moment, more than 700 Eight Banner warriors were shot down in this small camp. Under the desperate protection of his personal guards, Yabulan escaped from this place of death, and led the defeated soldiers to run desperately towards Xizhimen with Shu Xilan.

"Da~Da~Da~" There was a dense sound of horse hooves behind him. It was the guards' captain Galdama and captain Bota who led a thousand cavalrymen to chase them. Shuxilan, the commander of the Bordered Yellow Banner, wanted to stop them, but he was exhausted and weak, and was knocked off his horse by Bota in just one round. After killing the general, Bota was greatly encouraged and rode his horse to rush towards Yabulan.

Seeing that he could not get rid of the pursuers, Yabulan took off the longbow on his back. As a famous archer in Manchuria, he did not believe that anyone could block his arrow. The enemy cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the bowstring was pulled more and more.

"Swoosh~" The fatal arrow flew straight to Bota's throat. The battle-hardened warrior sensed the danger and subconsciously tried to dodge sideways, but the arrow was so fast that it pierced his throat before he could dodge sideways.

"Plop~" Pota's body fell to the ground helplessly, one foot still hanging on the saddle, and the frightened warhorse dragged its master away. The tragic death of his general aroused Galdama's rage, and he rushed towards Yabulan viciously with his Mongolian scimitar raised at an angle.

The Qing Dynasty's Baturu wanted to draw his sword but it was too late, so he had to block it with the bow in his hand. "Crackling~" Galdama's sword came with great force, breaking the longbow, and the remaining force hit his forehead again.

"Ugh~" Yabulan covered his forehead in pain but couldn't stop the blood from flowing, and finally fell off the horse powerlessly. A clay pot will break if it is not left on the well, and a general will inevitably die in battle. An old general who has killed countless people will eventually be killed.

When Shu Xilan, the Manchu commander of the Bordered Yellow Banner, led more than a thousand defeated soldiers to flee back to the city, the Qianqing Palace was completely silent. After this battle, the young Emperor Shunzhi realized the powerful fighting power of the guards and had to restrain his courage and no longer dared to go out of the city to fight.

"Speed ​​up, if we can blow up the city successfully, your contribution will be indispensable," outside Chaoyang Gate, the captain of the guards, Malcha, shouted to his subordinates. Hearing his roar, 300 subordinates picked up shovels and dug the soil more vigorously. Unknowingly, three long snakes were getting closer and closer to Chaoyang Gate. The battle-hardened Great Khan Lianhua was determined to use the collapse method to blow down Chaoyang Gate and take the inner city directly. In order to confuse the Qing army, he ordered the artillery battalion to set up artillery outside the East Gate to bombard the city to cover up the sound, and ordered the firearms battalion to dig tunnels and bury gunpowder.

The dark tunnel suddenly became bright, and a guard soldier was surprised to find a dark face of a Qing soldier holding a shovel at the entrance of the tunnel. "Ah~" Before he could scream, the other party had already pulled out a short knife and stabbed him.

"Captain Du, the three tunnels we dug have been discovered by the Qing army, and more than forty brothers died in the tunnels," the subordinate reported to Malcha.

Malcha's eyes turned red. Those who died were his comrades in arms. He shouted gloomily, "Let's keep this account in mind for now. We'll settle with them after we capture the city!"
-
"I am guilty. The three tunnels I dug towards Chaoyang Gate were all discovered by the Qing army. Not only did we fail to blow them up, but we also lost more than 40 soldiers," Tarhun, the head of the Firearms Battalion, shamefully reported to the Great Khan Lianhua. It was he who proposed the plan to bombard the East Gate and secretly take over Chaoyang Gate. Now that it has failed and instead caused casualties, he feels ashamed.

"The inner city is where the Manchu nobles live, so we must guard against it strictly. There are also veterans like Sony, Ebilun, Ming Andali, etc. How can it be so easy to break the city? It's not your fault, I just thought it was too simple." Sultan laughed and suddenly said fiercely, "Since it's not easy to break the inner city directly, let's capture the outer city first. Last time I broke through the outer city from the East Gate, the wall there was rebuilt later, so it must not be strong. Concentrate all the cannons at the East Gate, don't be stingy with the shells, just bombard me hard, I don't believe that the wall can't be broken!"

"I will concentrate the artillery and divide it into two groups to bombard the city in turns. The artillery will not stop until the city wall collapses. If the city wall fails to collapse within half a month, you will be punished by military law!" Tarhun was inspired by the words of the Great Khan and promised generously.

"No, the longer the night, the more trouble you will have. I can only give you ten days. Within ten days, you must blast a gap for me."

"Slave takes orders!"

After Tarhun left, the Grand Secretary Liu Haogu who was accompanying the expedition asked, "Beijing is the center of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty. After the city walls are destroyed, the defenders will definitely resist stubbornly. Your Majesty, which general do you plan to send to capture the city?"

Hearing this, Sultan suddenly thought of the gray-haired face of Tanlang Gunbu Yileden. This old fellow dared to rob and embezzle the spoils when he attacked the Kharachin tribe. Humph! Send him there. If he wins, he will be punished. If he loses, I will take the opportunity to chop off his head!

"Gunbu Yildeng is brave and good at fighting. I feel relieved to send him," said the Great Khan Lianhua leisurely. (End of this chapter)
