Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

"Boom~boom~boom~"

A short and powerful marching drum sounded, Wu Liuqi, holding a broadsword in hand, mounted a white horse, led 500 elite cavalry and 1,500 infantry to rush towards Niu Wancai's general flag, followed by Yang Jie's army. According to experience, Niu Wancai was a famous "runaway general" who could not fight a tough battle. Once he found that he was facing a strong enemy, he would definitely flee.

"You bastard! Prepare to die!" The burly Wu Liuqi shouted loudly, his long beard fluttering in the wind, just like the fierce Zhang Fei.

However, Niu Wancai did not flee. Instead, he said to Chen Shikai beside him: "My dear brother, you know that after killing Che Ke, we have no way out. We can only follow David to fight against the Qing Dynasty to the end. The Great Khan of Lotus respects heroes the most and hates cowards the most. If you don't fight to the death, you will die; if you fight to the death, you may not die!"

Chen Shikai was actually quite famous for his bravery when he was in the Ming army. The soldiers called him "Chen Tietou". However, after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he did not make any achievements and his reputation was not well-known. Hearing this, he said solemnly: "Brother, don't worry. Since there is no way to retreat, I am willing to follow you and fight my way out!"

"Good! When two armies meet, the brave one wins! I will be the spearhead, and my dear brother will follow closely!" Niu Wancai summoned up the bravery he had when he followed Li Chuang to conquer the world. He held a big knife in his hand, wanting to personally lead the way for the spearhead.

"Da~Da~Da~" Suddenly, a group of horses and men passed by his horse. It turned out to be Chen Shikai leading hundreds of cavalrymen to the front. Looking at Chen Shikai standing on his horse with his spear in hand, fighting desperately, Niu Wancai couldn't help but sigh, "Today I finally see the style of Chen Tietou!"

The Qing army, who had been bullying the surrendered soldiers and wanted to pick on the weak, suddenly found themselves hitting a wall. Niu Wancai and Chen Shikai's subordinates were like crazy, advancing without retreating, fighting to the death. Not long after the battle, Yu Changyou, the Qing Tianjin garrison commander, was stabbed to death by Chen Shikai. Even Wu Liuqi, the "Iron Beggar" who was skilled in archery and horse riding, could not gain an advantage and was killed and retreated step by step.

Niu and Chen are so good at fighting! These two bastards, I think they don't want to serve the Qing Dynasty, and they have long had the intention of rebellion! Yang Jie became more and more frightened as he fought, thinking that these two guys had different intentions before, so they deliberately concealed their strength and were willing to be "runaway generals". He cursed their ancestors in his heart. Little did he know that when Niu and Chen were in the Qing army, they only wanted to curry favor with their superiors and have a good future. How could they have the slightest intention of rebellion? It's just that now that they have no way out, they have to fight hard. This is also the characteristic of many surrendered soldiers. They performed mediocrely before surrendering, but once they surrendered, in order to gain a foothold in front of the new master, they aroused their bloodiness and were unstoppable. It was just to establish merit and consolidate their own ears.

On land, the 10,000 Wei troops crushed the 11,000 Qing troops and had the upper hand. On the river, it was the Qing navy that had the upper hand. The 3,000 Fujian navy led by Chang Jin Gong often fought against Zheng Chenggong, other remnants of the Southern Ming, and pirates of all sizes. They had rich combat experience and put the 2,000 navy led by the deputy commander of the Wei Tianjin Navy Camp, Seter, in danger.

"Charge forward and fight on board!" In the crisis, Yuan Dehui, the lieutenant general of the Tianjin Navy Camp, aimed at Chang Jingong's flagship and ordered his men to fight on board. He was originally a guerrilla in the Dengzhou Navy Camp of the Qing Dynasty. After surrendering to the Wei Dynasty, he was not only promoted to the lieutenant general of the Tianjin Navy Camp, but was also allowed to cut off his braids and restore his Han Chinese clothing. Since changing back to his clothes, Lieutenant General Yuan has become a different person. He charged forward in battle and was fearless. His men followed his orders and lowered a long wooden board with an iron hook to hook the enemy ship, and rushed towards the Qing ship along the wooden board.

"Humph!" Chang Jingong sneered, not afraid. Having spent half his life on the sea, boarding battles were commonplace for him. He commanded his men to fight on the boat. The Qing army formed groups of two or three, fighting together and chopped down or shot down the guards who came aboard one by one.

"Set fire!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuan Dehui ordered his subordinates to set fire to his own ship. He had already made up his mind that he would die, and before the boarding battle, he had ordered his men to fill his ship with gunpowder, kerosene and other materials.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~" The gunpowder was ignited and exploded, and Yuan Dehui's warship caught fire. The fire ignited the mast and sails, and also burned the Qing army flagship hooked together by iron hooks. "Hua La La~" A huge mast on fire hit the Qing army flagship hard, making a loud noise. Yuan Dehui's warship slowly sank, "Dad~ Mom~ I will have the face to see my ancestors after I die!" At the last moment of the warship sinking, a sailor heard the last sentence shouted by the lieutenant general.

"Put out the fire! Put out the fire!" Chang Jingong shouted at his men to put out the fire, but the wind blew over the Dagu River, fanning the flames and making it impossible to put out the fire. Soon, the Qing flagship began to sink. In desperation, General Chang had to switch to a small boat to escape.

The Qing navy, having lost its flagship command, fell into chaos. Setel took the opportunity to command his subordinates to counterattack and stabilize the situation.

When Chang Jingong changed to another warship, raised the flag and prepared to continue commanding his subordinates to fight, he found that the flag of his own army on the river bank had fallen.

Yang Jie was defeated because he underestimated the fighting power of the surrendered troops of Niu Wancai and Chen Shikai. When he saw the famous left governor and general of Raoping Town Wu Liuqi being chopped off his horse by a group of fierce surrendered soldiers, the prince's guard and general of the left wing of Jiangnan lost the courage to continue fighting and fled with the remnants. In order to survive, he did not even dare to return to Tianjin, but went south along the canal to Jinghai, Xingji, Cangzhou, Nanpi, Dongguang, Wuqiao, and only stopped to catch his breath after fleeing to Dezhou, Shandong.

On the Dagu River, seeing that the land army was defeated, Chang Jingong knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly ordered the navy to retreat. At the same time, he sent someone to notify Du Hui, the commander-in-chief of the right naval force of Guangdong Province, who was ordered to monitor the Tianjin Fortress, to board the ship and leave the shore, intending to gather the naval forces of Fujian and Guangdong provinces to escape into the sea from the Dagu River.

On the top of Tianjin City, Ayuqi, the lieutenant general of the Jinzhou Navy of the David Kingdom, had already learned about the arrival of his own reinforcements. He climbed up and saw the Qing army outside the city boarding the ship. He realized that they wanted to escape into the sea, and immediately ordered his subordinates to board the ship to block them. After a series of victories, the morale of the Liaodong Navy was high. Under the command of generals at all levels, they lined up their warships to block the river. Pei Sansheng and Zheng Xianjia led the Han Brigade soldiers to fire at the Qing warships on the top of the city. The blocking battle lasted about half an hour, and Setel arrived with the Tianjin Navy Battalion, and attacked the Qing army from both sides with Ayuqi. Niu Wancai and Chen Shikai also commanded their subordinates to concentrate the artillery of the generals on the river bank and shoot at the Qing warships.

The Qing army was defeated. In the fierce battle, Du Hui, the commander of the Guangdong Right Naval Division, was killed by a cannon. Chang Jingong, the commander of the Fujian Left Naval Division, finally broke through the blockade of the Wei Army Naval Division, but only a few speedboats were left. He ignored his other subordinates, raised the signal flag, and ordered the speedboats to follow his flagship to Dagukou.

"General, Dagukou is ahead. We will be safe after passing Dagukou," a confidant reported to Chang Jingong.

"Hmm~" Chang Jingong responded weakly, and suddenly his eyes widened. Dozens of small boats appeared on the river, set on fire, and the river surface was red. These small boats were prepared by the Liaodong Navy after the occupation of Dagukou. A Yuqi ordered the guards of the Dagukou Fort to set fire to the boats if they found Qing army ships, and now they came into play.

The Qing warships were blocked by the fire ships and could not pass. Soon, Seter and Ayuqi arrived with the navy of the Guards. Chang Jingong sighed and ordered his men to raise the flag of surrender on the bow of the ship.

Tianjin has fallen! (End of this chapter)
