Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 518: The Battle at Red Sand Castle (Part )
"Elinchen replied, in front of you is the Red Sand Wo Fort. After the Great Wall where this fort is located, you will reach Ganzhou. That place is very wealthy, and there are many business travelers coming and going. If you capture Ganzhou, you will definitely get a lot of money. Not cheap," Omubu said with a smile, his face flushed, immersed in the excitement before the robbery. He had seen great battles, followed the Eight Banners to conquer the Ming Dynasty many times, and conquered many prosperous cities in Datong. He knew that this place was rich and wanted to make a fortune.

"Don't be too happy about Ombu'an. I predict that the Ganzhou defenders will not be able to hold on. It will be difficult to capture this city. I'm afraid we can only make some small fortunes in the suburbs of Ganzhou and surrounding cities." E Lin Chen responded with a smile, and when he mentioned the word "little wealth", he deliberately emphasized his tone.

They were in a very good mood. In the battle a few days ago, the four coalition forces annihilated thousands of Chahar troops and captured tens of thousands of people and countless livestock with only more than 800 casualties. The harvest was huge. Originally, the two of them just wanted to defeat the Chahar people and then return, but the victory came so easily, which aroused the greed in their hearts and wanted to get another vote. In their eyes, Ganzhou at this time is a big piece of fat, and they would be stupid not to eat it!
The coalition army marched slowly, with more than 15,000 warriors marching on the mountain road, like a long snake with no end as far as the eye could see.

Hongshawo Fort is getting closer and closer, and the not high but strong fort wall blocks the entrance of the valley leading out of Heli Mountain.

The military flags of the Chahar tribe were clearly visible on the fort wall. Seeing these military flags, everyone danced with joy. My defeated generals still dare to stand in the way of our troops?
"Your Majesty, the general is willing to lead the army to capture this fort," Ordos right-wing center flag Beleguludai Qingshandan said to Erlinchen.

"Your Majesty, please let me go." Oban, the Duke of Wulatqian Banner Town, also looked at Omubu eagerly.

The two Duoluo princes discussed for a while and decided to serve a bowl of water together.

"Kill~kill~kill~"

The jubilant warriors of Ordos Right Center Banner and Wulate Front Banner carried long ladders and pushed carts, and rushed towards Hongshawo Fort, followed by groups of archers and gunmen responsible for cover.

In order to take the enemy by surprise, Sabir, the commander-in-chief of Gansu Province, did not let his subordinates fly David's fishing pole and fishing flag. The Chahar military flag was still on the city wall, which successfully confused the enemy.

Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and more crowded, Sabir uttered one word: "Shoot!"

"Boom~boom~boom~" All the artillery carried by the Guards and Chahar Army fired at the same time. The dense artillery fire, the narrow mountain road, and the crowded military formation caused terrible losses. Countless soldiers fell to the ground wailing, and broken limbs and arms could be seen everywhere.

Guludai Qingshandan couldn't help but feel horrified when he saw a soldier crawling on the ground with half of his face blown off. He yelled ruthlessly: "Charge up, charge closer, and their cannons will be useless."

The soldiers charged at a trot. Until this time, they still believed that the enemy on the opposite side was the defeated Chahar people, and they were full of confidence in victory.

"Bah~bah~bah~"

"Chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp ~"

The continuous rain of bullets and arrows came over, knocking them off their feet and making them understand what elites were.

As soon as Oban stepped onto the long ladder, he was hit by an arrow in his right arm. He retreated in embarrassment. When he retreated, he found that Guludai Qingshandan was actually running in front of him. "Bah! Coward! Coward!" He spat angrily, and suddenly felt that his retreat was justified.

The first attack resulted in the loss of more than a thousand people, and the losses were greater than in the Battle of Heli Mountain. The two princes, who were old and refined, suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Ombu Anda, where did the Chahar tribe get so many artillery and muskets? This is strange," Elinchen said to Ombu. "It seems that the guards from Ganzhou City came to reinforce the Chahar people. Only they have so many firearms," ​​Omubu expressed his judgment.

As if to verify their judgment, the Davidic fishing rod and fishing flag was erected on the wall of the Red Sand Nest Castle.

"Damn it! The Oirat people are cunning. They didn't show any trace at first. They severely damaged our army before planting their flags," Erlinchen cursed.

"Anda, scolding is useless. Fortunately, our army far outnumbers the guards. We can use wheel tactics. Each banner takes turns to attack the city and consume them to death." Omubu sneered.

The coalition forces changed their war agenda. The Siziwang Banner, Maoming'an Banner, Wulat Rear Banner, Wulat Middle Banner, Ordos Left Front Banner, and Ordos Right Rear Banner took turns to attack the city. Gradually, the defenders on the city Fatigue began, and casualties increased.

Taking off the iron plate and putting it on his thumb, Abu Nai pulled up the full string, and with a "swish" arrow, he killed an Ordos centurion. There was no joy on his face, and he asked Sabir anxiously: "In the main town, thousands of households in Alqidu took a roundabout way back to the enemy's rear through a small road, and I don't know where they went?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, I think it's almost there." Sabir chuckled and pulled the string to the fullest, shooting a tough guy to the core.

Alqi, the head of the Du Qian household, Budali, the head of the Qian household, and Galzhao, the deputy head of the Qian household, led 2,500 soldiers to the rear of the coalition forces from the small road. When they arrived, the coalition soldiers were unprepared. They were sitting on the ground in twos and threes, resting, waiting to go into battle later.

"Kill!" Alqi screamed and rushed towards the enemy with a knife. Budali and Garzhao followed closely behind, the swords and guns in their hands full of human blood.

Encountering a sudden attack, the coalition formation collapsed and became a mess.

Alqi rushed to Elinchen. Seeing that the situation was not good, Elinchen turned his horse and fled. What a good Alqi. He killed the enemy's flag bearer with one sword, chopped down the handsome flag of the Ordos tribe with another sword, and then rushed towards the handsome flag of the Sizi tribe. Seeing this, Omubu had no choice but to order his subordinates to retreat with the general's flag.

Sabir on the fort wall could see clearly that the enemy's flag was either falling or retreating, and the enemy's military morale outside the city was fluctuating. The time had come to defeat the enemy!

"Warriors, honor belongs to the Kingdom of David. Open the city gate and follow me to attack." He roared and took the lead in running out of the city. He looked like a crazy tiger and killed everyone on sight. Seeing that the general town was desperate, all his subordinates fought to the death.

Unable to hold on any longer, the coalition forces fell into pieces and fled. The mountain road was rugged and narrow, people and horses were crossing the road, and countless people died.

In this battle, Sabir defeated the majority with less, and annihilated 5,000 coalition troops with more than 700 casualties. The corpses filled the long mountain road. The killing made everyone in Monan tribes fear him, and he also won himself the reputation of "good at fighting".

The good news reached Xining and Emperor Qianyuan's military camp in the form of an eight hundred-mile rush. After Emperor Qianyuan, who was in Kazakhstan, read the victory report, Long Yan was overjoyed and immediately replied: "I knew Sabir was capable of fighting, but I didn't expect him to be so good at it! He was promoted from the second-class Zaqu Bo to the first-class Zaqu Uncle, the commander-in-chief is in charge of the military affairs of Gansu Province. The other meritorious officers and soldiers shall verify their achievements and report them to the Ministry of War for commendations."

Sultan was most concerned about Shaanxi, and he also ordered Governor Tuoli of Gansu and Qinghai, Qinghai Tumian Bandida Gushi, Changxi Rimo of Ten Thousand Households, Shaanxi Governor Fu Shan, and Shaanxi Admiral Sandan to defend it at all costs. Yellow River Defense Line and Lintao Prefecture.
