Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 314: Dingshan Nan Demon Beheads (Part )
After failing to persuade Monk Bawo, Hall Dub returned to his guest room dejectedly.

"Amitabha, Diba's trip was unsuccessful?" In the guest room, a white-robed monk saw him coming. He clasped his hands and bowed to ask, but it was his son, Basang Wangpo, the Fatai of Zedang Monastery.

"Can't you just call me 'Dad'?" Old Dubu was a little sad.

"Why should Diba be entangled? A monk has cut off all ties with the world and has no family, so how can he have parents?" Pasang Wangpo sighed, "At the beginning, I just wanted to be an idle cloud and a crane, and live happily. But you are here for the prosperity of the family. , forced me to go to Zedang Temple to become a monk. In that case, why do you envy the father-son relationship between mortals?"

"Are you still resenting me for letting you become a monk? I did it for the whole Hall family. If I didn't send you to become a monk, how could our Hall family control Qiongjie? Can't you forgive your father?" Lao Du Bu's tone was pleading. Everyone has their own weakness. The weakness of the cruel and cruel Qiongjiedi Badubu was his son.

"I have never blamed you, and I have never forgotten that the blood of the Hall family flows in my body. So you raised the flag of righteousness, and I led the monks such as Zedang and Dansati to respond. It's just that my mortal fate is over. I don’t want to fall into the world of mortals again, please forgive me.” Pasang Wangpo’s voice was very plain, looming, without any trace of the human world.

"I understand. Bawo refuses to go to India. How should I act? I want the master to teach me," Old Dubu murmured.

"There is a saying among the Han people, 'If you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood.' Please take your subjects to India alone to save some vitality for my Hall family," Basang Wangbu sincerely suggested.

"Alas! I'm old. Even if I go to India, I won't live for a few years. Ye Luo will always return to his roots, and if he wants to die, he will die in Shannan. You quickly return to Qiongjie and take your tribe and our subjects to India. In the future, our family will be happy It’s all up to you.”

"Diba, you are the leader of the clan and you have to leave early."

"No, I am still the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. If I leave, the morale of the army in Shannan will be in chaos." Old Dubu refused resolutely.

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Pasang Wangbu bowed deeply to him and left sadly. Neither of them expected that their departure would be a farewell forever.

The castle of the Jedunzhu Sect was built in the style of the Potala Palace, with one floor after another and slowly rising. The entire building is oval in shape and is located on a small cliff facing cliffs on three sides. It can only be entered through the gate of the dzong that protrudes outward from the north. After entering the gate, there is a circular watchtower. To the west of the watchtower are long arc-shaped houses. To the south along the stone steps is the main body of the entire sect. There are watchtowers one after another, each with three floors and about 60 meters high. Through the city wall, Connected together. Different from ordinary wooden watchtowers, most of these watchtowers are made of local materials and built with stone flakes or blocks. Only the top floors are made of wood with eaves and windows. It is very strong and can not only defend the city but also defend against enemies. There is also a -meter-high water lifting channel in the city, so you don’t have to worry about drinking water. The great monk Bawo of Luozha relied on the natural dangers and was confident.

Ororik and Shuoqi, Zhuoliketu and Shuoqi led five thousand elite soldiers to the dense forest near Jedunzhu Sect, vowing to smash this rebel fortress. The sky is not beautiful, and the cold rain is falling. The soldiers could not boil hot water in the heavy rain, so they had to eat dry food with raw water. In order to prevent the soldiers from getting sick to their stomachs after drinking raw water, Ororik and Shuoqi ordered the drinking water to be stirred with silverware. This careful order moved the soldiers and boosted their morale.

With the surrendered slaves leading the way, the guards quietly sneaked to Beishan, launched a sudden attack, captured the gate of the dzong, and then attacked the watchtower behind the gate. In the early morning of the next day, the Guards completed the siege of Jiedunzhu Sect and captured the watchtower at the gate.

Ororik and Shuoqi selected some soldiers to climb up the cliff in the east, west and south directions to attract the enemy's attention. Then, Zoriktu and Shuoqi led the elite selected forwards to start the real attack on the main tower. attack.

This mountain city maintained the last hope of the rebels. Leaders such as Dubu and Bawo were determined to fight to the end and violently shot the siege troops with firecrackers and arrows. As many as two hundred Guardsmen were shot down to the bottom of the valley by the defenders.

The defenders fought tooth and nail and suffered heavy casualties. However, the isolated city could no longer be defended. The defenders were exhausted and had no news of reinforcements, so their morale gradually declined. Taking this opportunity, Zoliktu and Shuoqi targeted the weakest shooting area and led their troops to forcibly climb over the city wall and invade the city. Ororik and Shuoqi followed suit and started a fierce battle with the defenders. At the same time, feint attacks from the east, west, and south directions also achieved results.

"Those who surrender will avoid death. Those who surrender will avoid death. Those who surrender will avoid death."

With these calls for surrender, the morale of the defenders dropped to the bottom. Taking advantage of the enemy's disillusionment, the Guards captured the main tower, and the red-eyed soldiers slashed and killed, causing chaos in the city.

Scenes of tragedies began to happen, and a raging fire broke out in the Jedunzhu Sect. The great monk Bawo spread gunpowder all over the Buddhist hall, lit firewood, and sacrificed himself to the God of Fire; Zongben of Shengge Zong wiped his own neck, and more than ten of his relatives and confidants committed suicide; Shannan Sangri Zong The master of Kada Chode Temple came with Lao Dubu, but unexpectedly he was surrounded by strangers. He only chanted sutras on weekdays and could not kill people. He desperately recited "Amitabha". In the past, no matter how bloody the battlefield was, it was still very peaceful. Few people kill monks. The world has changed. A soldier cut off his head and shouted: "I killed a demon monk~a demon monk~"; the head of the Jieton Pearl Sect had already arranged the end for himself and his wives. There was a cliff at the southernmost end of the mountain. He took the lead and jumped down into the deep ravine. His wives and concubines jumped down in order according to their status in the family. Against the backdrop of the fire, the area around the cliff looked like a picture of hell. At the foot of the mountain city, you can see the wives and concubines of Jedunzhu Zongben falling to the bottom of the valley. People couldn't help shouting: "The girl has fallen!" No one dared to step forward after that.

This was the most brutal battle since the counter-insurgency. Even the previous battles with much larger numbers of people were rarely so tragic. After the city was broken, a group of remnant soldiers came out of the city to attack with the idea of ​​​​rather than being destroyed. They shot the last arrows and cut off the knives in their hands. There were countless casualties, but no one surrendered. In the end, more than ten people were exhausted and captured.

The Mongols respected warriors, and their bravery inspired Ororik and Shuoqi's respect and pity. "They are real warriors and deserve the right to survive. Give each of them a horse and a bag of dry food and let them go home," the commander roared.

The fortified city of Jedunzhu Zong, which the rebels had worked so hard to build, was destroyed in just a snap of a finger. This battle brought an end to the counter-insurgency war on the snowy plateau. The red sun rose from the mountains, and David's sky was as hot as fire.
