Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Military orders are as heavy as mountains. When they hear them, they should attack as ordered, but the Qing army's vanguard did not attack immediately. Seleng, the prince of Gushan in Durburt Banner, rode his horse to the front of Dushihuoer, the Duke of Zhenguo in the right wing of Horqin Banner, and said, "My dear son-in-law, the drums of the central army have sounded, and it is time to make a decision."

Dushihuoer looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "Last night I agreed with the Khan that we would change the flag as soon as the marching drum sounded, and now is the right time. This is the first battle between you and me after we surrendered to Wei, so we must fight bravely."

"Don't worry. If we fail in this, you and I will both die without a burial place. How dare you not fight to the death?" Seleng agreed generously.

"Good! Last night my messenger brought back the Khan's decree. If you are willing to turn against the Qing Dynasty, you can be crowned as a prince. David is different from the pseudo-Qing Dynasty. Currently, the only person who has been crowned as a prince is the Chahar King, the direct descendant of the Yuan Dynasty. The title of a prince is something you can only encounter by chance, so you must seize it well." Dushihuoer relied on his early surrender to the Wei Dynasty and gave instructions to his father-in-law. Seleng was not angry at all and responded with a smile.

"Change the flag~Change the flag~Change the flag~" As Dushihuoer and Seleng issued the military orders, the Qing army's vanguard actually removed the Qing Dynasty flag, replaced it with a fishing rod flag, turned their horses' heads, and formed an attack formation towards the Qing army's center.

"Warriors, follow me and kill!" Dushhuoer led his troops to attack Manzhu Xili's central army without saying a word. Seleng was not willing to be outdone, and led the Durburt warriors to defect together with Dushhuoer.

"Great Khan! Look, the Qing army's vanguard has put on our flag and is turning against the Qing army to kill them." Seeing this, Chao Lemen, the flag and drum officer of the central army of the guard, said excitedly to the Great Khan Lianhua.

The Great Khan looked extremely calm, as if everything was under control. He smiled and ordered: "Take advantage of the internal strife of the Qing army and its inability to charge, order Tarhun to lead the artillery battalion to close in and fire; once the artillery stops, Orros and Aldar will be the first formation, Mandulatu and Toroshihu will be the second formation, Enhebatu and Buhealtu will be the third formation, and the rest of the central army will guard my Khan's flag and charge forward with all their strength; the Suhe tribe on the left wing will contain the enemy's right wing, and the Urigendalai tribe on the right wing will contain the enemy's left wing. All the troops will look at the direction of my Khan's flag. If the Khan's flag does not retreat, anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"

"Yes!" Chao Lemen took the order and left.

Chao Lemen is the grandson of Bars, a veteran known as the Tiger of Oirat. Looking at his skillful figure riding a horse and galloping, the Great Khan suddenly became dazed and said with a smile: "Unconsciously, the little tiger has grown into a big tiger. Haha, he really looks a bit like Bars back then."

Seeing that his army's vanguard had replaced the flags of the Wei Kingdom with fishing rods, Manzhu Xili immediately realized that what he had been worried about had finally happened. He could not help but sigh to Wu Keshan: "Brother, Seleng is an Oirat, it would be fine if he defected to the Wei Kingdom, but Nadushihuoer is a Khorchin, and like us, he is a relative of the Qing Dynasty. Now he has defected to the Wei Kingdom and fought against his own relatives. This little beast is really infuriating!"

"Fourth brother, there is no point in getting angry now. Fortunately, we have been prepared. Quickly order Biltahar and Zhulezagan to attack the rebels, so as to prevent the rebels from disrupting the central army formation," Wu Keshan suggested while comforting his brother.

Manzhu Xili nodded and immediately ordered the front line of the central army to attack the rebels. Biltahar and Zhulezagan heard the order and led 8,000 Khorchin and Alukhorchin warriors to attack the rebels. The situation was dramatic. Before the battle started, the Qing army's vanguard and central army started killing each other.

"Hurry, come closer, tie up the camels, set up the cannons and fire hard!" Taking advantage of the Qing army's infighting, the veteran general Tarhun, who had just been promoted to deputy commander of Wanhu, ordered his subordinates to tie up the camels of the camel cannons and set up more than 200 small cannons to fire at the center of the Qing army. At this time, the Qing army was fighting fiercely and could not charge, giving the cannons plenty of time to fire. In addition to these small cannons, the artillery camp actually had some heavy cannons, but because they were too heavy and took time to set up, they were not used in this battle.

“Chirp~Chirp~Chirp~”

"Boom~Boom~Boom~"

Countless shells were fired into the Qing army like snowflakes. The 8,000 men under Biltahar and Zhulezagan were actually prepared for the betrayal of the vanguard. As soon as the vanguard changed its flag, they immediately launched an attack. In particular, the 4,000 Alukhorchin archers under Zhulezagan were very good at shooting and caused a large number of casualties to the rebels. Dushihuoer and Seleng thought they could catch the enemy off guard, but they were attacked as soon as they changed sides and were killed and retreated step by step. At the critical moment, the enemy on the opposite side was bombarded, and the offensive was frustrated.

"Damn it! Raise the flag, follow me to charge!" Zhulezagan, a fierce general in the Qing army, refused to retreat when seeing this. Instead, he ordered the flag-bearing officer to raise his general's flag and led his men to continue attacking the rebels. "Bang~" A shotgun exploded next to him, and the shrapnel cut his neck. Zhulezagan fell off his horse unwillingly, holding his neck.

The sudden bombardment was too fierce, and Biltahar could no longer control his men. The men, who suffered heavy casualties, turned their horses and ran back, hoping to avoid the range of the enemy's shells.

"The fighter planes are coming!" The Lotus Khan, who was sitting on the BMW Zhuifeng, put down the telescope in his hand. As a veteran of many battles, he naturally found that the Qing army's formation was in chaos. He smiled faintly and said, "Stop the shelling."

Upon seeing the military order, Tarhun immediately ordered his men to untie the ropes that bound the camels, and drove the camels carrying the cannons back to the center of the army quickly through the gaps in the army formation. Before the smoke of gunpowder had dispersed, the vanguards of the center of the Guards, Orros and Aldar, led 4,000 elite cavalrymen to rush towards the center of the Qing army, which was in chaos due to the cannon fire. They were followed by 4,000 men from the Mandulatu and Toroshihu tribes, 4,000 men from the Enhebatu and Buhealtu tribes, and the rest of the center of the army led by the Great Khan himself. At the same time, the Suhe tribe on the left wing of the Guards also attacked the enemy's right wing, and the Urigendalai tribe on the right wing attacked the enemy's left wing. The combat power of the Guards was originally higher than that of the coalition forces of the southern desert. At this time, the center of the coalition army was in chaos because of the defection of the vanguard and the artillery bombardment. Soon, they killed the center of the coalition army like a tiger pouncing on its food and routed it. Prince Shajin of the Heshuo Tushetu of the Right Middle Banner of Khorchin was stabbed to death by Aldar with an iron fork, and Prince Oqier of the Right Front Banner fell off his horse in a panic and was trampled into mud by horse hooves.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Manzhu Xili hurriedly sent the six thousand-man teams that served as the rear guard into battle. Heta, Mani, Bakshi, Lawson, Tunhe, and Benbaqi each led a thousand men and rushed towards the guards approaching the general's flag, fighting to the death. However, after all, they only added a mere 6,000 men, which could not stop the well-trained veterans who had fought many battles in the country. Soon, Mani, Bakshi, Tunhe, and Benbaqi died in battle one after another, and Lawson was captured.

"Eqige, uncle, the situation is critical. Please retreat with me quickly. It will be too late if you are late." Heta, covered in blood, came to Manzhu Xili and Wu Keshan.

Wu Keshan sighed and said, "It's impossible to do anything about it. Fourth brother, you must not hesitate and quickly lead your troops to retreat to Ningguta, where there are Qing Dynasty garrisons that you can rely on."

"Blow the horn and retreat," Manzhu Xili gritted his teeth and ordered. The panicked Qing army heard the horn of retreat and fled with the flag of the Khorchin tribe.

The 10,000 men of Suhe on the left wing of the guards fought particularly fiercely. Originally, the Great Khan Lianhua only asked him to contain the right wing of the Qing army, but he turned the containment into the main attack, personally led the brave guards to rush into the right wing of the Qing army, and chopped the Khorchin Doroberle Oqier who dared to block him in half with an axe. The Qing army's right wing commander, Khorchin Doroberle Prince Erdeni, was frightened by Suhe's ferocity and retreated involuntarily. The distance of retreat was not far, just moving the flag slightly backward, but at this time, the defection of the vanguard of the central army had shaken the morale of the Qing army. When he retreated, the warriors of the Zhalai and Gorlos tribes behind him immediately scattered, and under the leadership of their respective taijis, they quickly left the battlefield and fled back to their own grazing grounds.

Looking at the guards surrounding him from all directions, Erdeni, who was at his wit's end, sighed, "It's the time! It's the fate!" He dismounted his horse, knelt down and asked for surrender.

"You're smart," Suhe glanced proudly at the kneeling Erdeni and the chopped-down Qing army's right wing flag beside him, and led his troops to encircle the Qing army's center.

Because the right wing of the Qing army collapsed too quickly, the defeated soldiers of the central army were cut off from retreat by the Suhe troops of the left wing of the Wei army before they could withdraw from the battlefield. Heta and Biltahar were escorting Manzhu Xili and Wu Keshan as they were retreating when they encountered a murderer holding a big axe.

"Roar~" In desperation, Heta roared like a beast and rushed towards Suhe. However, Suhe ignored him and stared at the Khorchin flag quietly.

"Swoosh!" Trey, the archer and captain of a thousand households in the guard army, aimed at Heta and shot an arrow as fast as a meteor, piercing Heta's chest.

"My son!" Manzhu Xili cried out sadly, tears streaming down her face.

"Hmph," Su He snorted coldly, moved, and pounced directly towards Manzhu Xili's general flag.

"Father, be careful." Manzhu Xili's fifth son, Tada, tried to stop him, but the murderer swung his axe and chopped off his head. Manzhu Xili turned his horse and ran away, but the murderer locked his breath again. Suhe led his men to kill the guards of Prince Heshuo Darhan Baturu, rushed forward, and killed him with an axe.

The panicked Wu Keshan and Biltahar tried to avoid Suhe's axe and fled on horseback, but they were chased by the guards of Orros and Aldar. The reckless Orros didn't care who the other party was, and swung his sword brutally, killing Wu Keshan, the prince of Zhuoliketu of the Qing Dynasty. Although Aldar was brave, he was smart. He saw that Biltahar was a noble of the Khorchin tribe, so he took out a lasso to lasso him and took him as a prisoner.
-
The collapse of the central army was seen by Saibuten, the prince of the right wing of Balin Banner, who commanded the left wing of the Qing army. At that time, he was fighting with the Urigendalai tribe on the right wing of the guard army.

"Your Highness, let's go quickly. If we don't leave now, our entire army will be wiped out!" Dorodarhan Beile Souse of the Left Wing Banner of the Wengniute came to him and asked.

"Hey~ Retreat quickly, back to Xila Wenduer Mountain," Sebuteng shouted and led his men to quickly leave the battlefield.

The wind suddenly stopped, and the battlefield returned to calm. If it weren't for the corpses all over the ground and the strong smell of blood, it would be hard to imagine that a war had ever taken place here. (End of this chapter)
