Desert Eagle Suletan Khan
Chapter 1097 5 Soldiers Defending Tiantai
Shijingshan is not very high, only 183.7 zhang ( meters), and it is named after the cliff carving of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty - Linggen Gubai. There is a small temple on the mountain, Tiankong Temple, which is very quiet except for a few tourists and a few monks. However, it became a place of trouble when Biligenda, the King of Zhao of the Kingdom of David, stationed his central army here. The monks in the temple were all under surveillance and strictly prohibited from going out. They were only given some food every day. Fortunately, the Mongolians believed in Buddhism and had a good attitude towards these monks. They were only prohibited from leaving the temple to communicate privately, but they still had a lot of food.
As the sky gradually darkened, the young King of Zhao was not sleepy at all. He discussed military situation with Mandulatu, the chief of Huite, and Wurigendalai, the chief of Junggar. "Is everything ready?" he asked, staring at the two chiefs with his eyes piercing.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have ordered Ahan and Chuyi to lead 3,000 elite soldiers each to set up an ambush in Bandenggou," Mandulatu answered casually. As a veteran of the David Kingdom and a childhood playmate of the Great Khan of Lotus, he was always casual in front of the princes.
"Very good! Let's see if Donny falls into our trap," Biligenda said calmly.
"But Your Highness, we only have 30,000 people. Wouldn't it be difficult to ambush an army of 200,000?" Urrigendalai often accompanied King Zhao on his expeditions, and they had a good personal relationship, so he kindly reminded him.
"It's okay. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wrote to me, saying that he and the Duke of Liang led 40,000 cavalrymen to the vicinity of the West Mountain and were following Doni's army to harass. Doni must allocate at least 40,000 to 50,000 troops to deal with the Crown Prince's army. We can find an opportunity to annihilate part of them and dampen their morale." Biligendalai's tone was very calm, but he was muttering in his heart. It was indeed risky to ambush 200,000 people with 30,000 people, but it was precisely because he had fewer soldiers that he needed to dampen the enemy's morale, otherwise the subsequent battles would be difficult to fight.
"Your Highness, are the three people we sent reliable?" Mandulatu was a veteran after all, so he got to the point with his first question.
"Don't worry, the three people we sent out are indeed bondservants who are guarding the tomb for the pseudo-Prince Rao Yumin (Abatai). I sent people to Long'ensi Village in Jianfushan (Keqinyu) to capture all their family members. For the sake of the lives of the whole family, I believe those three people will not dare to do anything bad."

Xishan is beautiful, with vast forests, smoke and mist, and beautiful scenery in all four seasons. The long Wuding River (Lugou River and Yongding River) runs through it, dividing it into two sections, north and south, forming a beautiful landscape painting.
Boyezbek, the chief of the capital of David, had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. He got up at daybreak to inspect his defense zone. He was born in the Uzbek tribe west of the Bukhara Khanate. The Uzbeks originated from the Golden Horde during the Yuan Dynasty. Their name also came from the Khan Yuejibek at that time. They were a nation formed by the fusion of Sogdians and Turks. Their appearance was between the yellow and white people. They were widely distributed in the three Khanates of Kazakhstan, Bukhara, and Khiva. After the Great Khan of Lotus conquered the two Khanates of Kazakhstan and Bukhara and forced the Khanate of Khiva to submit, Boyezbek's tribe surrendered to the Kingdom of David. Afterwards, he and 500 warriors in the tribe were recruited into the army. Because of their repeated military exploits, they were promoted from ordinary local garrisons to the David Guards. He also got the official position of chief of the capital. David founded his country through military merit, and many of the nobles were previously ordinary soldiers. Boyezbek was jealous and vowed to lead his subordinates to achieve more military merits so that he could get a title and bring honor to his family.
"Captain, you come to inspect so early, are you worried that my uncle's wife (sister-in-law) can't sleep?" Seeing him coming to inspect, Ainiwal, the captain in charge of today's duty, joked with a smile.
"You are just thinking about your wife all day long. If you make a mistake, you will be punished by military law." Boyezbek glared at his subordinate unhappily, but he could do nothing about him. After several years of fighting, only half of the original 500 tribesmen were left. Later, more than 200 new soldiers were added from the southern grasslands of the desert to make up the troops. Ainiwar was an old brother who joined the army with him. He was used to speaking casually, so he really couldn't do anything about him.
"Don't worry, my brothers have all fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and we have already made arrangements as solid as an iron wall. If we let the enemy sneak in, we will cut off our own heads first, without using military law." Hearing the word "military law", Eniwal involuntarily straightened his chest.
Hearing this, Boyezbek felt relieved. He knew that although his old brother looked cynical, he was a veteran who had fought in many battles, so he had a set of defenses. He inspected the defense line on the mountain with a stern face. He saw that the top of the mountain was not only full of rocks and logs, but also archers and swordsmen were in place. Lookouts were hiding in the bushes and looking down. If there was an enemy attack, they would be able to find it at the first time. Finally, he felt relieved and glared at Eniwar. "It's better to be careful. The wives at home are waiting for us to return home alive." When he said this, he suddenly remembered the more than 200 tribesmen who died on the battlefield. The captain couldn't help but feel sad.

"Is Tiantai Mountain ahead?" Xu Erxian, the general of Zhaoqing, asked, squinting at the three bondservants who led the way. This man looked ordinary, but was very cautious. He was born as a servant of Shang Kexi, the Prince of Pingnan. Back then, when Shang Kexi was still the deputy general of Guanglu Island in the Ming Dynasty, he offended Shen Shikui, the general of Pi Island. Shen Shikui wanted to lure him to Pi Island to murder him, but the alert Xu Erxian found out and reported it to Shang Kexi, who then resolutely led his troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. With this relationship, he was highly valued by the Prince of Pingnan. This time, the provinces were ordered by the Qing court to expand the Green Camp, and the Prince of Pingnan took the opportunity to expand his strength. Xu Erxian's troops expanded from 4,000 to 13,000. This time, because most of his subordinates came from the mountainous area of Lingnan, he was ordered by Prince Xin Doni to be the vanguard of attacking the mountain.
"This is Mount Tiantai, and there are only a few hundred soldiers guarding it," the old Baoyi said with his back straightened. Although he was a Baoyi, he was a servant of the prince's family and did not take the Han generals seriously. This attitude made Xu Erxian feel relieved. It seemed that these three guys were really bannermen, and they should be leading the way. He shouted coldly to the lieutenant general You Yunlong: "General You, you lead the army first, and I will lead the troops to follow."
"Hey!" You Yunlong shouted and followed the order. He was also a brave and skilled general in Pingnan. Upon hearing the order, he led 3,000 men to climb Mount Chaotiantai.
"Enemy attack~Enemy attack~" The sharp-eyed sentry noticed the movement at the foot of the mountain and shouted loudly.
"Call the police quickly! Release rolling logs and rocks!" Eniwal was not surprised, and led more than a hundred men to respond calmly.
"Woo~Woo~Woo~" The bugler blew the alarm horn, and Boyezbek led his men out of the camp. Arrows and bullets flew towards the Qing army like snowflakes. The Qing army thought that the defenders would be difficult to detect in the early morning fog, but they did not expect to be discovered so quickly and were knocked down by rolling logs and rocks.
You Yunlong was furious and shouted to his subordinates, "Scatter and attack with rattan shields."
After all, the Pingnan vassal soldiers had fought many battles before. Upon hearing the order, the subordinates consciously formed groups of three or five people, each group separated by a distance, and climbed up with rattan shields on their heads. As expected, casualties were reduced a lot. After all, there were more people and they soon approached the top of the mountain.
"Soldiers, today is the day to be rewarded for your meritorious service!" You Yunlong shouted, drew his sword and jumped to the top of the mountain. The generals were the courage of the soldiers, and the vassal soldiers rushed to the top of the mountain and gathered in front of the guards' camp.
"Pah!" Boyezbek spat viciously and shouted, "Fire! Fire!"
"Boom~Boom~Boom~" The three light copper cannons hidden in the camp suddenly opened fire, and the fire guns behind the wall also spit out flames. The Uzbek region is located on the border and often clashed with the Russian army. Boyezbek's subordinates are equipped with 100 fire guns and three bronze cannons, which came into play at this time. You Yunlong had never fought with the Wei army before, and always thought that the Western Fan was a foreign land lacking firearms. He suffered a great loss when he was not prepared, and his subordinates were shot down one after another. Especially the three bronze cannons of the Wei army, which had a very fast firing rate. Although the power was not great, it was more than enough to deal with infantry, and the Qing army was blown to pieces.
"Open the gate, follow me to kill the enemy!" Boyezbek roared, drew out his Mongolian scimitar, and rushed to the enemy first. Eniwar was not to be outdone, and rushed out with an axe.
The bravery of the guards was beyond You Yunlong's expectation. The battle-hardened general actually became timid at this moment and gave the order to retreat, "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
When two armies meet, the brave one wins. The Qing army's attack turned into a defeat due to the lieutenant general's cowardice. More than 200 bodies fell in the first wave of attack.
"You always boasted of your bravery in the army, but you were beaten by a mere 500 guards and fled with your armor and weapons abandoned. How shameful!" Xu Erxian was enraged and shouted at You Yunlong, "I ordered the artillery battalion to fire at the mountain, and you led your men to attack the mountain. If you still fail to make it up, you will be beheaded!"
After being reprimanded, You Yunlong felt deeply ashamed and led his men to quietly wait for their own artillery fire. Tiantai Mountain is not high, only about 430.8 feet ( meters), and a full tiger squat cannons were transported to the mountain and fired at the top of the mountain.
The roaring sound like a tsunami lasted for an hour and finally subsided. "Soldiers, follow me to climb the mountain. You are allowed to advance and not retreat. Those who retreat will be killed by my sword!" You Yunlong shouted and rushed up the mountain as the spearhead.
The bombardment did not cause too many casualties to the guards, but it effectively emboldened the Qing troops attacking the mountain. Relying on their large numbers, they braved a hail of gunfire and arrows and once again forced their way to the top of the mountain.
"Qing dog, die!" Eniwal swung his axe at You Yunlong.
Unexpectedly, You Yunlong was very skilled in martial arts. He dodged the fatal axe by leaning sideways halfway up the mountain and stabbed Eniwal in the chest with his backhand.

"Ainivaranda!" Seeing his good brother fall down beside him, Boyezbek went crazy and rushed straight towards You Yunlong without caring about anything.
Even though the lieutenant general had killed countless people and had great martial arts skills, he still felt scared when he met the fearless ruffian. After fighting for a few rounds, he became weak and retreated again.
"Go to hell!" Boyezbek did not pursue, but took out the three-barreled gun commonly used by cavalry. He had already loaded the gun with medicine but had never used it. Now was the perfect time to shoot.
"Bang~Bang~Bang~" After three gunshots, a big hole appeared on Yunlong's back and he fell to the ground.
The Qing army's offensive was crushed again, and they lost a lieutenant general. Xu Erxian was so angry that he roared and ordered to continue attacking the mountain at all costs.
They thought that Mount Tiantai could be easily captured in half a day, but the battle actually lasted three days. A total of 1,500 Qing soldiers died on the mountain before they rushed to the top of the mountain and attacked the camp of the guards.
However, the battle was not over. Boyezbek led thirty of his men to retreat to Tiantai Temple on the west side of the main peak of Tiantai Mountain. This temple was quite famous in another time and space. It was said to be the place where Emperor Shunzhi became a monk. However, in this time and space, it was just an ordinary little temple.
"The general has issued an order: those who surrender will be spared~those who surrender will be spared~those who surrender will be spared~" Xu Erxian ordered his subordinates to shout towards the temple. It was not because he wanted to spare the lives of the defenders, but because the casualties were too heavy, and he wanted to capture the defenders alive to vent his anger.
After the shouting, there was a long period of calm. Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from the temple: "I, David, only have warriors who die in battle, not cowards who surrender!" After the roar, the remaining guards rushed towards the Qing army with swords and axes in hand. A true warrior would rather die on the way to charge!
"Shoot! Shoot them to death!" Xu Erxian began to tremble all over.
Countless bullets and arrows were fired at the guards, and Boyezbe and his thirty warriors fell in a pool of blood. (End of this chapter)
