Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 616 Looking for a good opportunity, the tiger resists orders

"Commander, the general has finished investigating. The people guarding the north bank of the Tula River are the He Tohuit people. Gunbu Yildun led the remnants of the He Tohuit tribe to defect to Tushetu Khan Gunbu, and Gunbu placed them in North Bank of the Tula River." Wan Jin, the commander of the Guards Army camped on the south bank of the Tula River, respectfully reported to Balsi, the general of the Northern Expedition.

"Haha, this is really a narrow road for enemies! Why can't I find the whereabouts of the Tohuite people? It turns out that they fled to the territory of the Tuxie Tu tribe. Just in time to stew them in a pot." Balsi sneered.

"Commander, it's easy to destroy the Tuohite people, but don't forget that the Great Khan has a decree that strictly prohibits a war with the Qing army. Now the Qing army has entered the territory of the Tuxie Tu tribe. If we attack Gunbu, they will definitely If you interfere, a war will be inevitable!" Ananda Gushi, the deputy general of the Northern Campaign, dissuaded him.

"Well, our memorial to the Great Khan, has the Great Khan responded?" Balsi frowned.

"The Great Khan's attitude is still the same as before. He warned us not to intensify the situation and trigger a war with the Qing army. We should focus on nibbling Khalkha and don't worry."

"No need to worry? Humph! Now our army has defeated the Hetuohite people and has more than 70,000 troops. The combined forces of the Qing army and Tuxie Tubu are less than 60,000. Moreover, our army has won consecutive battles and has high morale. The enemy has fought repeatedly. Repeated defeats and low morale are a good opportunity to unify Mobei. If we don't conquer Mobei all at once, when will we wait?" Balsi was so angry that his beard flew up.

"Commander, don't be impulsive. If you don't want to sweat, you should continue to go to Shu to fight." Ananda Gu Shi urged.

In a flash, it was another ten days. On this day, Balsi was sitting on a tiger-skin chair in an upright manner, handling official duties, when he suddenly called the commander to ask for an audience.

"Why did he come here? Could it be that he came to ask me for a fight again? Hum! If I could fight, I would have started the war a long time ago. Why did he need to say anything?" Balsi ordered him to enter the account angrily.

"The general will report an urgent military situation." Unexpectedly, he said that there was an urgent military situation as soon as he met.

"What urgent military situation? Tell me!" Barsi knew that Wanjin was a veteran general with rich combat experience. He said that it was an urgent military situation, so it must be a big deal, so he asked him to explain it in detail.

"Commander, in the early hours of this morning, the general sent a sentry to the other side of the river to check as usual. He found that the enemy camp was empty and the Tohuite people had withdrawn. At first, the general suspected that this was a trick of the enemy. We sent a small number of selected fronts to search, and ended up catching a few stragglers and Tuohite herdsmen. According to them, Gunbuyilden was unwilling to resist our front for the Tushetu people, and led his army to defect to the Qing Dynasty." .

"What! Is this news accurate?"

"General Mo discovered a large number of ruts in the direction of the Qing Dynasty. The information should be reliable," Wan Jin said.

Balsi thought for a while, then waved his arm suddenly, "Come here, please inform the deputy general and the generals of each battalion to come to the commander's tent to discuss matters."
-
"Gentlemen, you and the Tohuit people have escaped. The Tula River is now undefended. If you cross the river and attack the Tushetu people from behind, you will be able to defeat them. You all tell me whether this battle is possible. Fight?" Balsi's words were sonorous and powerful. His name means tiger, and he is as powerful as a tiger.

"Commander, the opportunity must not be missed. If you lose it, it will never come back. The general will think that you should fight." Urigendalai, the head of Zhunnan'erwan household, shouted. This is a master who is afraid of the world being in chaos.

"The general also thinks that we should fight. When the general was a thief in the past, he had a rule: thieves do not escape. Now that our army has gathered, the enemy will flee without fighting. If we don't take the opportunity to attack, won't we end up in Baoshan and return in vain?" First-class Mi Zhibo and Commander-in-Chief Wang Yongzhen also agreed to go to war.

The generals' blood was hot, and half of them wanted to fight for a while.

"Commander, generals, have you forgotten the oracle? The Great Khan has given repeated orders not to cause a war with the Qing army. If we attack Urg, the Qing army will definitely rescue us. Once the war starts, a war will be inevitable." Ananda Gu Shi hurriedly dissuaded him. Upon hearing the word "Holy Edict", there was a sudden silence in the big tent. The founder of the country was so prestigious that no one dared to disobey the Lotus Great Khan. Everyone looked at Balsi, a veteran minister from the time of the Great Khan's father, Nomudale. At this time, only this senator dared to disobey the holy will.

"cough~"

Barth coughed majestically, stroking his long beard in thought. Finally, the tiger made a decision: "This is a rare opportunity. Pass our military order to immediately cross the river and go around to Urg's side to attack. In order to confuse the enemy, deputy general Ananda Gushi led the commander-in-chief Ji Jike, Wang Yongzhen, and Ji Jiao "Generals Liu Denggou and Xie Rude led 20,000 soldiers and horses to feint to the south of Urg, attacking the line of Buha and Khan Mountain to confuse the enemy; I personally led the army across the river to attack the rear of Urg."

"But what should we do if the Great Khan is to blame?" Ananda Gushi was still hesitant.

"I will be away, and I will not accept your orders. If the Great Khan is to blame, I will bear the responsibility alone," Balsi said calmly.

"If the Qing army attacks us, will we fight or not?" asked General Jamibi of Hobokseri.

"Fight! Our army is not allowed to take the initiative to attack the Qing army, but if the Qing army dares to offend me, beat me hard!"

At the critical moment, the White Tiger Barth took on the responsibilities that a senior official should have. "Everyone, I order you to fight bravely and seize the head of Tuhan Gunbu from the midst of thousands of troops."

On the sixth day of February in the eleventh year of David's reign (1654), the Guards began their attack on Urg.

The first to launch the offensive was 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Ananda Gushi, David's deputy general in the northern expedition. Their operational goal was to feign an attack and attract the enemy's main force to Khan Mountain south of Urg.

Despite Ananda Gushi's opposition to Balsi's disobedience, there was no ambiguity when it came to fighting. "Gentlemen, although our mission is a feint attack, you must fight hard and show off. Only when the enemy is hurt can we attract their attention to the front line of Khan Mountain. Hime Jike, Wang Yongzhen, Gyaltsenamha, and Dampa Tsering, the four of you will lead the army with 5,000 soldiers, and I will lead the army to support you."

"Yes", all the generals accepted the order in unison.

Buha is a small village in the south of Urg. Since the army was stationed in the village, earth walls were built and trenches were dug. Basang, the head of the Thousand Households of the Tuxie Tube, inspected the village with a steady and strong hand holding the knife. Unlike most generals who came from a noble family, he was born a commoner and was able to hold this official position because he was not afraid of death and dared to risk his life in battle. Since I was ordered to guard Buha, I patrolled the military camp day and night without daring to neglect.

"Enemy attack~Enemy attack~" the lookout post suddenly sounded the alarm.

Basang was shocked and climbed to the earth wall to take a look, but saw densely packed enemies coming overwhelmingly, with fishing poles and flags everywhere."

"The Guards are attacking! What's going on? Why aren't beacons lit in Foduerduob and Gilgalantu?" Basang was amazed and ordered the beacons to be lit for alarm.
