Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 327 Three armies suppress the situation (Part )
Manas, Mongolian, means patroller. It was named after the soldiers patrolling along the Manas River in ancient times. Now the two sides of Henan are once again filled with troops, and if you take a breath of the air, you will be filled with the strong smell of gunpowder smoke.

As a veteran of the Huit tribe, the fifty-eight-year-old Balsi has gone through a bloody storm. He is a contemporary of Bingtu. They fought against the Khalkha Mongols together back then, so they have some friendship. Be polite first and then attack the city. Before attacking the city, he wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender. The letter was written politely, with the first half reminiscing about the past, and the second half promising high-ranking officials and generous salaries. If he was willing to surrender, the court would not hesitate to reward him from the prince. After seeing this letter, Bingtu was very happy and wrote a little poem:
"Refuse to Surrender"

Third-class Liang Guogong, a letter of persuasion to surrender.

Old love is of no use, each famous flower has its own owner.

My brother is coming north today, and I am going south.

What is painted with blue blood? Map of Jiangshan Sheji.

"Alas! Brother Bingtu, you and I can only meet each other in war." Seeing this poem, Balsi sighed and ordered Aishan to lead 5,000 troops east to cross the Manas River and seize the beachhead. He himself led 10,000 troops. Five thousand followed. He has found out that the Junggar army on the other side is about eight thousand, which is far less than his own. Since we have sufficient strength, we attack the enemy openly and openly.

Bingtu actually did not defend along the river beach, but retreated a stone's throw away.

"Huh? Could it be that he was thinking about the friendship in the past and was retreating?" Balsi was a little moved, but showed no mercy and ordered the guards to speed up.

"Woo~wu~wu~" The long marching horn sounded, and Ai Shan led his army to cross the river on rafts and canoes. They successfully landed without any resistance and their morale was greatly boosted. "Haorui~Haorui~Haorui~" the cheers and shouts of the guards could be heard everywhere.

However, they soon became unhappy. After rushing across a stone's throw, there was actually a ditch dug in front, and a barrier of earth was built behind the ditch.

"Shoot for me," Bingtu ordered, and the Dzungar people who lived behind the barrier fired arrows, and the arrows flew everywhere. The sound of "chirp" sounded across the sky, and the guards were shot down.

Aishan gritted his teeth and urged the soldiers to fill the trench regardless of casualties. Finally, several sections of the trench were filled in. The Guards roared and rushed forward, but only got an empty earth fortress. The Junggar army had already retreated, and what greeted them was a second trench. After finally capturing it, there is a third one

Just crossing the river resulted in thousands of casualties, greatly demoralizing the guards. What followed was a more brutal siege. Bingtuyi defended the city, and the Battle of Manas was in a stalemate.

Wusu was originally the territory of the Oirat Mongolian Heshuote tribe, but was later taken away by the Junggar people. Its full name is "Kulkara Wusu", which means "snowy black water" in Mongolian. The north is a semi-desert impact plain, the middle is hills, and the south is the North Tianshan Mountains, including the northern slope of the western section of Yilianhabirga Mountain and the northern slope of the eastern section of Brokonu Mountain.

Batur Hutaiji's sixth brother Shabatu and seventh brother Nomqi are stationed here.

Nomqi is tall and burly, with a ferocious appearance, a sinewy face, good at using a flail, and has the courage to be unstoppable by ten thousand men; Shabatu is thin and quiet. But Nomuqi had been submissive to his elder brother since he was a child. "Brother Six, we are approaching the city. How should we fight this battle? Please tell me clearly."

"Seventh brother, don't worry. There is a mountainous area to the south of Wusu City, making it difficult to fight on horseback. The five hundred flail soldiers you trained will come in handy." Shabatu took his time and made arrangements calmly. This person has a strategy, so Nomuqi is convinced.

Lianjia is a weapon similar to a meteor hammer. The iron ball is tied to a wooden handle through an iron chain or rope, and the warrior dances with the wooden handle. The iron ball itself is not heavy, generally only one or two kilograms, but it is a test of the waist and wrist strength of the soldiers, and non-strong men cannot use it. This weapon is especially useful against shields. The warrior swings the iron ball over the top of the shield. The iron ball falls with inertia and can smash human bones into pieces.

Sandan led 10,000 troops to attack the northern slope of the eastern section of Brokonu Mountain south of Wusu City, and encountered the Junggar army defending the mountain. He called Re Jiefu and said, "Ji Longbo will make great achievements today." "Don't worry, Uncle Long. In a war, the last general only wants to be the first." Re Jiefu proudly stroked the long bow on his back. This kind of bow is suitable for foot combat, and he is a famous archer among the Yarkant people. After saying that, he personally led four thousand men to attack the mountain.

"Where is the general of the guard? Junggar and David have no hatred at all, so why bother killing each other?" A soldier with a loud voice shouted down the mountain, and his voice echoed on the mountain walls.

"If the guard general responds later, you will follow the sound and shoot." Shabatu ordered the dozen or so eagle shooters around him, holding his sword in his hand and calming down.

"Yes", the marksmen took the order one after another.

However, they were not the ones following the sound. Re Jiefu took off his long bow and followed the sound and shot an arrow. The loud soldier's voice suddenly stopped, and a carved feather arrow was stuck in his chest.

"I'm so rude! Send an order to all the archers to shoot me hard." Shabatu was enraged.

"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~"

Almost all the Mongols can shoot, and arrows rain down like rain.

"Put up your shield, put up your shield quickly," Re Jiefu shouted, and his subordinates followed the order and put up their shields to guard against arrows.

At this moment, Nomuqi led five hundred flail soldiers and rushed towards the guards. The iron balls on other people's flails were only more than one kilogram, but his was more than three kilograms. He swung it with great force, smashing the heads of enemies one after another. Blood spattered to his mouth. He licked it, like an evil god from hell. .

Re Jiefu hid behind the shield, waiting for the whistle of arrows to stop, when suddenly an iron ball studded with iron nails fell heavily from the sky above the shield. "Ah!" He only had time to let out a scream before the Tianling Cover was smashed into pieces. The majestic David Zilongbo actually withered on Mount Brokonu.

After his death, the formation of the Guards was in chaos. Nomuqi continued to charge, and Shabatu also drew his sword and led the entire army in a fierce attack. He was very different from his quiet attitude, and his sword skills were very tricky, and his swords could kill people. Sandan tried to stabilize his position, but in the end he could not withstand it. He lost two thousand troops and returned in defeat.

The two troops and horses sent achieved nothing, but lost troops and generals. Suletan became angry and recalled the two troops and planned to attack Shawan again. However, Tan Ma came to report that Hutaiji Batur of the Junggar tribe led 25,000 troops and horses to aid Shawan, which was less than a hundred miles away from him. In desperation, they had to shrink their troops and prepare for a decisive battle with the enemy in Shawan.

"Alas! I don't know how Su He and Urigendalai are doing." There was a stalemate in the middle, and Suletan thought of his other two armies.

News soon came that the Eastern Route Army's attack on Urumqi was not going well either. The guard is Batur's third brother Chuhu'er Ubas. This man is resourceful and his four sons, Norbu Zanghutuketu, Bagabandi, Norbu Zangceling, and Norbu Zanger Linqin, are all brave. Urigendalai tried his best, but could not capture Urumqi and lose eight miles.

However, the Su He Department of the West Route Army advanced smoothly. They sent envoys to report that they had captured Polo (Bole) and Jinghe, and were planning to march towards Karamay.
