Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 618 Urger changes to the King’s Banner (Part )
Khan Mountain is more than a hundred miles south of the city of Urg (Kulun) and is the gathering place of Tushetu Khan's tribe. Tuxietu Khan Gonbu gathered 36,000 troops in Khan Mountain and defended the mountain, but he still felt that the troops were insufficient. The reason for this feeling is that in the guard camps at the foot of the mountain, David's deputy general Ananda Gu Shiming, who was good at attacking people in the northern expedition, deliberately set up more camps. Judging from the number of military tents dotted with stars, the number of military tents at the foot of the mountain was The number of guards was 70,000, which was shocking to him.

"Hmph! It seems that Barth has mobilized all the troops he can mobilize. It is obvious that he wants to destroy our country and thank our troops." He pointed his riding whip at the enemy's stronghold and coldly snorted.

"The Great Khan, the guard army is so powerful that the servants think that they should defend according to the mountain. At the same time, they send envoys to the Qing Dynasty to ask them to send more troops and horses," said Kebai, the head of Qianhu, a confidant.

"Well, what you said is absolutely true. By the way, have the reinforcements from General Dingbei of the Qing Dynasty arrived?" Gunbu said solemnly.

"My servant has sent a messenger to General Dingbei. He agreed. Judging from the distance, we should be able to arrive in two days."

"Well, in that case, don't act rashly for now, wait until reinforcements arrive before taking action."

"Eqi Ge, although there are many guards at the foot of the mountain, their combat strength is still unknown. I am willing to lead 3,000 troops to test their strength," the third son, Sidi Siribatur, roared angrily.

"Khan, know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. It might as well be a test," Zaisang Harahuli also suggested.

Gunbu thought for a moment and nodded slowly, "My son, don't waste your time fighting. Let's charge for a while. If we can't break through, we will return immediately."

"Yes".

The young Xidi Siribatur, a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, roared down from the foot of Khan Mountain and charged down. Although he only had three thousand riders, he gave people an extremely heavy sense of oppression.

In the guard formation opposite, Ananda Gushi looked heavy. This is just a feint attack, but he only has 20,000 soldiers and horses. If the Tuxietu people see the flaw, it will be a big deal!

"Command the artillery battalion to fire, don't worry about the shells, just let go; order the cavalry of Tashib and Jijike to attack the Tuxietu people from the left and right as soon as the sound of the artillery stops, attack with all your strength, and be sure to hit our army's Awesome!" he shouted.

In this feint attack, he didn't have many soldiers and horses, but he had more than a hundred cannons. Although these small cannons were not very powerful, they fired quickly and had an astonishing power. As for the cavalry, there are 2,500 cavalry from the Sai Jinnoyen tribe of Tasxibu and 2,500 cavalry from the Jijike, Gianshennanha, and Damba Tsering tribes, for a total of 5,000 cavalry. In order to prevent the enemies on the mountain from seeing the flaw, he planned to dispatch all the cavalry as soon as possible.

"Da~da~da~" The cavalry was moving very fast, their horses' hoofs rolled up the sand, and they roared towards them.

"Boom~boom~boom~" A continuous rain of artillery rain fell on the cavalry. Although it only killed or injured about two hundred cavalry, the momentum it created was amazing. Thick smoke billowed, earth-shattering. From time to time, war horses were frightened and fell to the ground. Tu Xie Tu's army The momentum of the charge could not help but be frustrated.

"Kill~kill~kill~" The guard cavalry on both wings rushed out from the left and right, and it looked like there were five thousand in number.

Xili Batur, who had been so aggressive just now, couldn't help but feel a chill in his courage. He remembered his father Khan's words, and if he couldn't break through, he would return immediately, gritted his teeth and led his army back to the mountain.

About four hundred Tuxietu cavalry were buried under the Khan Mountain, and their morale could not help but be depressed; "Haorui~Haorui~Haorui~", the cheers of the guards were deafening.

Gunbu Khan could clearly see that the enemy's artillery fire was sharp, and there were five thousand men in just one charge. They must be the main force of the Guards. "Pass my military orders, stick to them, and kill those who act rashly," he roared.

General Dingbei of the Qing Dynasty, Jidu, the king of Jian County, and deputy general Suksaha rushed to Khan Mountain with more than 14,000 Qing troops or the tribal coalition forces of Monan Mongolia. Seeing the huge number of guard camps at the foot of the mountain, I couldn't help but be surprised.

"General, before coming here, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have repeatedly warned us that the Qing Dynasty and Can Ming are fighting in the south. We must exercise restraint against Khalkha and not trigger a war with the Wei Kingdom. But look at the posture of the Wei Army. I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight a big battle!" Suksaha said to Jidu with a sigh.

"Well, I would advise Gun Bu to hold on and try to control the scale of the war at the front line of Khan Mountain. I hope that the veterans of the Guard Division will be tired and withdraw their troops, so that the war will not start." Jidu also sighed.

The two had an argument, so they stationed their troops on the east side of Khan Mountain and went to the main peak of Khan Mountain to discuss the military situation with Gunbu.

"Meet the general." As soon as he saw Jidu, Gunbu showed a warm smile that made people feel like a spring breeze and saluted respectfully.

"Oh, Khan, we are facing a formidable enemy, so don't be too polite. Tell me, can you tell us how many guards there are at the foot of the mountain? How has the fighting been going in the past few days?" Jidu asked anxiously.

"To be honest with the General and Deputy General, my men launched an attack on the Guards a few days ago. The enemy's artillery fire was sharp, and five thousand cavalry were dispatched to block the attack. Our army was slightly defeated, and four hundred people were killed. Judging from this , should undoubtedly be the main force of the Guards. As for the number, I estimated that there should be 70,000 people."

"Seventy thousand people?" Jidu was young after all and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Suk Saha had been in battle for a long time, but he was calm. He snorted coldly: "When our Eight Banners entered the pass, a few dozen people dared to pursue thousands of Ming troops. Although the enemy army is numerous, what should we fear?" These words sounded majestic. , in fact, it is just to embolden the Tu Xie Tu people. He had already discussed with Jidu the strategy of holding on and waiting for help, and did not want to really fight to the death with the guards.

Gunbu couldn't help but perked up after hearing this, and said with a smile: "There are not even ten thousand people in Manchuria, and there are no enemies in Manchuria. I know the bravery of your army, but the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, so there is no need to fight with them. I I intend to hold on to the dangers of Khan Mountain and wait for reinforcements, and then go to Emperor Shu and ask him to send more reinforcements to Mobei."

Jidu and Suksaha looked at each other and secretly said that they originally planned to control the war area at the line of Khan Mountain and drag the veterans of the Guard Division to withdraw their troops. Unexpectedly, Tuxie Tuhan coincided with him.

"Haha, since the Great Khan has a countermeasure, we will guard the Khan Mountain together with the Great Khan and wait for help," Jidu laughed.

This was a strange war. Neither the emperors of the Qing Dynasty nor the Wei Dynasty were willing to give up the Khalkha Mongolia, but they were also unwilling to fight each other openly, so they kept issuing decrees to their ministers to control the scale of the war and not to It ruined the overall situation of the imperial court. But although the emperor was wise and mighty, it was the generals on the front line who decided the course of the war.

On the ninth day of February in the eleventh year of David's reign (1654), the main force of the -strong Guards led by Bars crossed the undefended Tula River, quickly crossed northward, and detoured back to Ser, west of the city of Urg. Bi Ling.

"Chief of Ten Thousand Households, Serbi Ridge is ahead. Do you want to attack immediately?" General Jamubi, the deputy vanguard and general of Hobokseri, asked Urigendalai, the chief vanguard and Chief of Ten Thousand Households in Junggar.

"Don't be anxious, the warriors have been traveling hard for days. Give the order and rest for an hour before attacking the ridge." Urigendalai's voice was not high, but it was full of murderous intent.
