Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 704 Killing the Tiger, Slaughtering the Tiger and Knocking the Pig (Part )

Liu Bao, the defender of Yuyouweicheng and a guerrilla from the left camp of Killing Tiger Passage, is a man with a story. He was originally a guard under Yang Zhenwei, the general of Jiang Yu's tribe. When the Qing army besieged Datong, Yang Zhenwei saw that the situation was not good and killed Jiang Yu and his brothers. The city surrendered. Unexpectedly, the Qing army massacred the city as soon as it entered the city. Except for the family members of Yang Zhenwei's officers and soldiers, "the officials, soldiers and people all executed them." This made the surviving Datong people hate Yang Zhenwei's subordinates. Liu Bao couldn't stay in Datong and spent money to find a way to be transferred to the Shahukou Association. Because he would curry favor with superior officials, he was promoted to guerrilla. Working as a guerrilla in the sacred place of Shahukou, the treatment is much better than in Datong. Once you come here, you don't want to leave. Unexpectedly, when the official was in office, disaster came from the sky, and the eight thousand army of King Sumur of Liao came to kill him!

Looking at the densely packed guard flags under the city, Liu Bao felt bitter in his heart and was determined to surrender. The military laws of the Qing Dynasty were strict. His wife, concubines, children, and the property he had saved in the Tiger's Mouth over the years were all in Taiyuan. Once he surrendered, the consequences would be dire, and he could only Bite the bullet and defend the city. "Quickly, gather the young men in the city and go to the city to help defend. Prepare more sacks and curtains to spread on the city to protect against artillery. Burn more gold juice and prepare kerosene..." Orders were issued quickly, and Liu The guerrillas worked successively in the Ming Dynasty, Dashun, Jiangzhou, and Qing Dynasty, so they still had experience in battle formations.

"Open the artillery and concentrate all the artillery to bombard the south gate," Liao King Sumur gave the decisive order. He had previously inspected the walls of Yuyouweicheng and found that the west gate was close to the river (Tumaochuan) and was difficult to attack, while the north gate and east gate were strong, so he ordered the south gate to be bombarded.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~"

There was a continuous sound of artillery, and the guards were equipped with eight heavy artillery pieces, ten Franco machine guns, and thirty piggyback cannons, all of which fired towards Yuyou Acropolis. There were only six Franco cannons in the city. They panicked and started to fight back, but were quickly suppressed. Fierce artillery fire broke out on the southern wall of the small acropolis, and defenders were shot down from time to time. The soldiers were better and knew how to hide behind parapets or arrow stacks. Those young men who had been temporarily recruited were inexperienced, and many of them were shot wailing at the top of the city.

The sound of artillery finally stopped, and the guards pushed the ladder truck to the top of the city, and the warriors climbed to the top of the city one after another.

Sumur's third son, seventeen-year-old Haraqi, jumped up to the top of the city like a civet cat. When he saw an enemy general commanding his men to defend, he didn't say much. He took off the long bow used for shooting deer from behind, and bent the bow. Arrow, shoot towards that general. The general seemed to be alert and looked in the direction of Haraqi, just to meet Haraqi's arrow.

"Poof", an arrow pierced the throat, Liu Bao fell to the ground holding his throat and rolled his eyes unwillingly. Once he died, the battle at Yuyouwei Castle was basically over.

King Sumur of the Liao Dynasty had a swift fighting style. He took the Yuyou Guard City and only rested for one night before continuing towards the Killing Tiger Pass.

Hearing that the Guards had captured Yuyouweicheng again, Sha Hukou's deputy general Sha Yaoke became anxious and ordered Zhang Siyi, a guerrilla from the Shahukou Right Camp, to abandon Tuanshan and concentrate his forces at Shahu Pass.
-
As a place of great wealth, Shahuguan is not like Yuyouweicheng. The number of artillery is much more than that of Yuyouweicheng. There are eight general cannons and twenty Fran machine cannons. They bravely shoot at the guards. Unexpectedly, he did not fall behind. Sha Hukou's deputy general, Sha Yaoke, was also an experienced general. He commanded a patchwork of 4,000 defenders to resist desperately, repelling four attacks by the Guards in a row.

"Report! A Qing army was found in the direction of Yunyoubao. There are about a thousand people, flying the Dai flag of Weiyuan Camp." For two consecutive days, Sumur failed to conquer the Shahukou Pass. The house leak happened overnight. In the rain, news came from the sentinel: Weiyuan Road Commander David Fan actually led troops to help kill Hukou. This did not scare His Royal Highness the King of Liao, who had experienced many battles, and immediately ordered the third-class Maoming Anbo Sengge and the deputy capital of Ordos Right Wing Middle Banner Qianhu Changshandan to lead two thousand troops to intercept. Because of the division of troops and the stay in various places, the number of troops used to attack the city was only about 5,000, which was not much different from the number of defenders at Shahukou Pass. In siege battles, the casualties of the attacking side were often higher than those of the defending side. Sumur decided to change his tactics and no longer attack by force. Instead, he dug trenches and planted wooden fences, intending to besiege for a long time.

"Your Highness. When I was on duty at the end of the day, someone suddenly shot down a letter after closing the door." Sumur was inspecting the fortifications built by his side. The third-class Khalkha right winger Burbentar came in a hurry with a letter in his hand.

Sumur opened the letter and looked at it. It read: "Tonight, I will dedicate the east gate at midnight (11 p.m.) and ask His Highness the King of Liao to respond. If accepted, please engrave the east gate at the beginning of Hai Shi (9 p.m.). "Put three fires outside the door", signed by Youxi, the leader of a hundred households in the tiger's mouth killed by the Wuyi Guards in Shanxi. The King of Liao looked uncertain after reading this letter. He knew that Wuyiwei had been active in Shanxi, but was what the letter said true?

"Your Highness," Bental called softly when he saw that he was absent-minded. Sumur laughed dumbly. What happened to him? No matter whether it was true or not, there was no hindrance in giving it a try. "Bentar, you and Benbashixi led a thousand warriors to lie in wait outside the east gate of Killing Tigers Pass, and set three piles of fire outside the east gate at the beginning of Haishi. If you hear the cry of killing, attack the city immediately," he issued an order. Got the military order.
-
During the war, a curfew was imposed at Shahu Pass. As soon as it got dark, the shops in Quang Guangqiao closed their doors. In fact, even if there is no curfew, there will be no business in this chaotic place.

"Close the door, close the door," Yuxi, the fat shop owner of the "Le" shop, muttered, yawned loudly, and ordered the waiter to open the door. When he turned around, he was already full of energy and looked at the sixty-two subordinates who were ready to go in the shop. Some of these people were dressed as waiters, and some were dressed as guards, and all of them were shining brightly.

"Brothers, we have been lurking here for several years, and finally we waited until today. If this vote is successful, everyone will be rewarded. If it fails, there is no need to save this life. It belongs to a man, so let me take your head. Don’t fight for your waistband!”

"Don't worry, Baihu, we will fight for our lives with you!" All the subordinates expressed their stance.

"Bang~bang~bang~"

There were three rhythmic knocks on the door outside the shop. The watchman came back and gasped as soon as he entered the door, "Hundred households, outside the east city~three fires appeared outside the east city."

"Okay! Brothers, today is the day to make great achievements. Follow me." Youxi picked up a big knife, his fat body looking majestic.

The group of people, each armed with swords and guns, followed him towards the east gate. As soon as I walked to Hele Tower not far from the east gate, I met a sentry horse on patrol. According to Sha Yaoke's military order, Wang Yuan, the guard at Shahukou, sent out men and horses to patrol every day. The gates of the city and the warehouses in the city were the focus of the patrol. Today, he happened to encounter something unexpected.

"Stop, what are you doing?" the sentry asked.

"Oops!" Yousi didn't think much and shouted: "Brothers, follow me." More than 60 warriors and more than 50 patrols fought together, and shouts of killing rang out in the city. Most of the Wuyi Guards were desperadoes, and they prepared for a long time. After several bloody battles, they killed the scattered patrols, but they alerted the east gate defenders. When they arrived at the east gate, the gatekeeper had already led more than a hundred people to light torches and form military formations.

"Cum for me," the boss yelled angrily. More than fifty fire cannons were fired together, and the sound of "boom~boom~boom~" continued. Yuxi felt a huge force coming towards his chest, and he lost consciousness in an instant, and fell to the ground with the big knife in his hand. The name "Yusi" means "Longevity Buddha", but he did not live long after all.

Bentar and Benbashxi, who were lying in ambush outside the city, heard the movement inside the city and led their troops to attack the city. However, Zhang Siyi, a guerrilla from the right battalion of Shahukou who received the alarm from the east gate, arrived with 400 troops and ordered them to attack the city. The troops guarding the east gate were strengthened. After attacking for an hour, they still couldn't capture it and the city gate didn't open. Gradually, there was no movement in the city, and Bentar had no choice but to lead his troops and retreat.
