Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 688 The two armies exchange flags at war

"Your army has asked me for a decisive battle in three days?" Qi King Melas glanced at Sunahai's messenger and smiled, "The Han people have a saying that 'respect is worse than obeying orders'. Please go back and tell Sunahai that in three days, the official The pastures of Red Flag Chahar will be dyed red with blood.”

"In this way, I will take my leave." The messenger bowed politely and left.

Seeing him leaving, Melas glanced at his brother Chahar King Abu Nai and said, "Brother, are you sure about the battle in three days?"

"Don't worry, dear brother, Hulu Kezhai Sang, Tashihai, and Badasi Zhai Sangju have agreed with me that if they turn against each other in three days, our army will win!"

"Well, even so, we should be prepared for battle to prevent fraud."

On the 1659th of January in the th year of Qianyuan (), King Melas of Qi and King Abu Nai of Chahar led guards and Qing troops from the Sunahai tribe to fight in Chahar, Zhenghong Banner. of pasture.

Sunahai ordered the deputy capital of Zhenglan Banner, Tashhai, and the deputy commander of Zhenglan Banner, Mo Jun, to lead the three thousand troops of Chahar of Zhenglan Banner as the left wing. The deputy commander of Xiangbai Banner, Badasi Zhaisang, and the deputy commander of Xiangbai Banner, Tela led Chahar's 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Xiangbai Banner as the right wing. He himself led the Xianghuang Banner's deputy commander Huluke Zhaisang, the Xianghuang Banner's deputy commander Su Hetai, the Zhengbai Banner's deputy commander Alinbao and other generals of the Xianghuang Banner and Zhengbai Banner. Nine thousand soldiers and horses formed the central army. This tactic of pretending to have two wings and solidifying the center seeks for the black tiger to dig out the heart and the center to break through.

"Cha", Su Nahai came out with the sword given by Emperor Shunzhi. "This sword was given by the emperor himself. When I received the sword, I once said that if I can't defend Chahar, I will kill myself with this sword. Today, the Oirat people Raising troops to attack our Chahar is the time to bravely repay the divine grace. If you shrink from the battle, I will use this knife to chop off your heads. If you all die in battle, I will also use this knife to kill myself. , I will never let you die alone."

After hearing this, the Manchurian generals were shocked and all declared that they were willing to fight to the death. Hulu Ke Zhai Sang, Tashi Hai, and Bada Xi Zhai Sang also shouted for war, "the morale is high."

The military flags of the Eight Banners of Chahar are the same as those of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army. They are colorful, orderly, and look very spectacular. The Qing army was like a big crab, slowly advancing towards the Wei army. Sunahai, who is sitting in the center of the formation, is holding a royal sword and is sitting in the center of the crab formation with an awe-inspiring look and is inviolable.

The guard's formation was exactly the opposite, adopting a tactic of two real wings and a virtual center. King Melas of Qi and King Abu Nai of Chahar each led 4,000 elite soldiers on the left and right wings, leaving only two in the center. Thousands of soldiers were put under the command of veteran general Slenge, the leader of thousands of households. This tactic is commonly used by the Mongols when fighting annihilation wars. They arrange their elite soldiers and generals on the left and right wings to attack and surround the enemy from both sides. Only a small number of troops are arranged in the center, which can make the enemy mistakenly think that they have an advantage, and then go deep alone. , and fell into siege unknowingly. However, this tactic is generally used when there are more people than others. It is really puzzling that the Guards today still use this tactic despite having fewer people than the Qing army.

"Huh? The formation of the Guards is strange." Sunahai had fought in battles before, so he became suspicious when he saw the enemy's formation.

"The generals don't know. The leader of the guard army, King Qi Melas, is only twenty years old and has never been on the battlefield. It is not unusual at all to set up this formation," Hulu Kezhaisang explained with a smile.

"So that's it." Sunahai also laughed loudly, "Lotus Khan, who defends the country, is also a hero, but he unexpectedly sent a little baby here. He was really smart and confused for a while. Send me the commander's military order, The Zhenglan Banner and the Bordered White Banner entangle the enemy's flanks and prevent them from returning to support; our Chinese Army will use all its strength to break through the enemy's Chinese Army." As expected of a Manchurian veteran, he grasped fighter opportunities accurately and ruthlessly.

"嗻", the Chinese army took the order and left.

"My sons, follow me and move forward." After receiving the military order, Su Hetai, a fierce general of the Qing army and leader of Xianghuang Banner, rushed towards the guards. The wind lifted his shirt and his pigtails blew straight; Suna Hai, The generals of Alinbao followed, while Hulu Kezhaisang was in charge of the rear army. Sunahai was not at ease with Chahar generals such as Hulu Kezhaisang, so he arranged for Manchuria leader Hasuli to monitor, no, assist.

"Retreat". Seeing the fierce coming of the Qing army, Slenge, the leader of the Qianhu household in charge of the central military formation, calmly ordered his men to retreat. Two thousand guards fought and retreated, and their formation was not in disorder. Soon, the Qing army was deeply wedged into the center of the Guards.

"Attack", King Melas of Qi roared, and led the left wing of the guard army to outflank the left wing of the Qing army. Mo Jun, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, led the left wing of the Qing army to tightly entangle Melas' tribe; on the right wing, King Abu Nai of Chahar He also fought with the leader of the Xiangbai Banner, Tra, who commanded the right wing of the Qing army.

"Deputy Commander, the general is ready and is requesting a battle." Forward Colonel Ji Gejide loudly requested a battle from Hulu Kezhai Sang. "Jigjid" means "Vajra of Mighty Virtue". He himself is as powerful as King Kong. He is one of the best warriors in Chahar with a yellow flag. He was promoted to the forward school because of his bravery in combat. Unfortunately, he is not a Manchurian. He is a forward. The school is already the pinnacle of official positions.

"Good! Jigjid is indeed a Batulu, and his courage is commendable," Hasuli, the Manchurian leader supervising the battle, praised with a smile.

"I've heard for a long time that Doral Hasurizuo is the famous Baturu in Manchuria. How about we compete with Jigjid on the battlefield later to see who can kill more enemies?" said Hulu Kezhai. Sang asked with a smile.

After hearing this, Hasuli turned pale with anger. It turns out that the Manchu custom is to use the first name but not the surname. The old Manchu surname is the name of the entire family and cannot be used casually. Therefore, the Manchu people generally only use the first name and not the surname. For example, the name "銊比" comes from the Guarjia family, but usually only It’s called Giaobai, but not Guarjia·Gaobai. It is extremely impolite to call people by their first name and last name. Hasuli was very angry, but on the one hand, Hulu Kezhai Sang's official position was much higher than his, and on the other hand, the other party was a Mongolian and did not know Manchu etiquette, so it was not easy for him to get angry. He said angrily: "That's fine, I'll let you personally make the arrowhead later and make a pattern for you to see." After saying that, he left angrily.

Hulu Kezhai Sang winked at Jigjid, and Jigjid understood and quietly pulled out the steel knife and followed behind. "Zuo Ling," he called loudly.

"What's the matter?" Hasuli turned around subconsciously. A ray of sword light struck like a sharp sword, and in a daze, Hazuli lost his head.

"Do it," Hulu Kezhai Sang shouted, and his subordinates who had been prepared quickly killed all of Hasuli's confidants.

"Deputy Commander, the warriors are ready," Jigjid's voice trembled.

"Well, bring down the Manchu flag and replace it with our Mongolian military flag, and then follow me to get Sunahai's head. Haha, the Manchu flag is so fancy, but our Mongolian military flag is more beautiful!" The mulberry trees in Hulu Kezhai sighed.

At the critical moment of the fierce battle between the two armies, a Mongolian military flag with the pattern of Genghis Khan Sulu suddenly appeared behind the Qing army's formation.
