This scene happened to be seen by Duan Feilong standing on the wall of the outer city of Uliyasutai, watching with a monocular telescope. As soon as he saw it, Duan Feilong's figure couldn't help but shake.

Just now, he sent hundreds of infantrymen to meet Duan Xiongfei and others along the pontoon bridge. However, because it was the flood season, the Ulyasutai River was fierce, and pushed a pontoon bridge about 200 meters long into an arc and shaking up and down seriously. The pontoon bridge was formed by using small boats as the foundation and then laying wooden boards on it.

The total width of the pontoon bridge is only two meters. Not to mention running horses at this time, even walking on it is terrifying. During the dry season, there is water in the Uliyasutai River only a section of the heart of the river, so naturally there can be horses and people walking, but it is obviously not possible now.

What's more, the Truqin army arranged two short-barrel artillery weighing 50 kilograms at the opposite bridge. Although the range was not far, it was enough to cover the river surface of hundreds of meters. In addition, they were far stronger than their musket range, so his infantry was beaten back before they reached the center of the river.

There were artillery on the top of the city wall, but the short-sightedness of the Qing court harmed them again. There was a large open ground on the other end of the floating bridge. The artillery on the top of the city was not to deal with the enemy on the other side of the river, but to the enemy under the city wall. Although Duan Feilong barely fired, most of the shells fell into the river and could not hit the other side at all.

Also, this is Khalkha. The Qing court obviously did not want the Red Cannons to be used by the Mongols. Moreover, it is difficult to transport such heavy cannons here. Therefore, the city was equipped with all medium and short-range cannons, and none of them was more than a thousand pounds, so they were naturally not far away.

When he saw his son being caught and tied up by the Truqins, it became completely dark, and Yan Dunhuang's army also arrived!

Duan Feilong had no choice but to sigh, accompanied by his younger brother, Duan Feihu, who had become a martial Jinshi, staggered back to the General's Mansion.

The Duan brothers were originally escorts who carried property for large merchants in the Gyeonggi area, but they were different from ordinary escorts. They were descendants of military officials who committed crimes. After their ancestral titles were deprived, they became civilians and had been studying and inheriting their families in the suburbs of Beijing.

Later, because of difficulties in making a living, two sons who had been practicing martial arts since childhood were allowed to do escort work. After a little financial resources, they bribed the county school and academic officials to enter martial arts. Otherwise, they would not have the chance to go from the county exam, but from the township exam to the palace exam.

His ancestors were formerly generals of the Green Camp. Although he was sent to a distant foreign land after winning the title of martial arts, he suddenly became the Han army flag and the deputy commander of the Zhenghuang flag. Compared with the past, the two brothers were naturally grateful to the emperor who promoted them.

As Ban Chao, Su Wu was their dream, but reality was much more appropriate than dreams. The enemy of the Qing Dynasty was not the Huns, but the much more powerful Truqin!

When night falls, the General's Office is in a bleak state of sorrow.

Duan Feihu, as his younger brother, is also helpless. If Duan Feilong was mainly attracted by Emperor Qianlong because of his strategy, then Duan Feihu was completely because of his bravery and naturally could not solve his brother's worries.

The two brothers sat opposite each other silently until the butler came to remind them that the meal was on.

Duan Feilong waved his hand impatiently and let him go down. Duan Feihu said, "Brother, this is not a solution. I will always think of a way."

Duan Feilong said: "What else can I do?"

Duan Feihu said: "Although the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers in the city have all gone out, the Minister of Service in Kulun, Song Yunsong, is still there. Why don't you ask him for instructions?"

Duan Feilong rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Although Truqin was portrayed as a barbaric country by our country, they also speak Chinese. Even Qitade, who was born in the Mongolians, often speaks Chinese. On the contrary, our country is always guarding against the difference between Man and Han. They claim to be a Manchu and Mongolian family, but they have never said Manchu and Han family."

"In such a situation, Songjun will definitely be on guard against us. If he knows it, he will probably have to seize our military power. He has five hundred cavalry under his command, so he can completely let his subordinates replace us in guarding the outer city."

"Then let it go?"

"Then what are your opinions? The flood season has just begun and will last for at least twenty days. We cannot get through these twenty days, but they cannot get through..."

As soon as the words were finished, the butler's head flashed out of the door again.

Duan Feilong said angrily: "Didn't you say you won't eat anymore? It's so troublesome!"

"Master"

I saw a rich man in his thirties appear.

"The little one has an idea"

"Oh?"

Duan Feilong suddenly thought of something, "This person has been following us since he was a child, and he has always been smart and intelligent. Maybe there is a way."

Then he said: "Let's say it"

The housekeeper said: "Master, Second Master, we do a lot of business in the outer city, and many of them come from Zhangjiakou. Although the Truqin people's objects are much better than theirs, their advantage lies in the cheaper. In addition, the tea that has the greatest demand in the grassland is also unique to them."

"It is said that the Truqins often buy their tea. Of course, our country does not allow the Truqins to come here directly. They only set up courts in Ogel, Kobdo, but there is obviously a connection between them."

"Why don't we find a merchant close to them and let them come forward to reconcile and use money to redeem the young master. The merchants will raise money and give them concessions in the future"

Duan Feilong's eyes lit up, and his expression dimmed in an instant.

"If this matter is not done thoroughly and the people in the inner city know about it, our career here will be over"

The housekeeper said: "If the color is dark today, most of the cavalry in the inner city have been driven two hundred miles away, and only five hundred cavalry are left. They have not been able to guard the inner city. How can they take care of the outside? Besides, you are also a bannerman, and you won't take care of it so tightly"

"While the inner city has not yet reacted, hurry up and find someone, and then let him go out of the city secretly and go to see the Truqin people through the floating bridge. In any case, for the safety of the young master, at least we must talk about it."

Duan Feilong's thoughts were full of thoughts and nodded for a while, "Well, you can do this matter. Remember it, don't leak the news!"

"I understand"

....

At night, Yan Dunhuang met a businessman sent by Duan Feilong. When he saw his "actively looking for opportunities" move, he finally showed a glimmer of hope. How could he let it go?

He smiled and said to the man, "We need to discuss this with the vice president in person. In this way, I will send someone to follow you back, how about it?"

The businessman was obviously very reluctant to come here, and he wanted to do so. He nodded quickly after hearing this.

When the man was asked to rest aside, Yan Dunhuang summoned everyone to discuss.

"Who would like to go there?"

It is said that a staff officer from the brigade department can be sent to this matter, but the staff officers of the mountain brigade are all newly graduated. If you can't do such a thing, you must at least send a general at the first level of the battalion commander.

He glanced over one by one.

"Ha Jun is the son of Hadan. Once the other party finds out, he will definitely take it down and exchange it for Duan Xiongfei, Alhu, and Aning. He originally thought that the commander of our unit and the battalion commander were both nobles at the first level and were quite charming after the nobles. Now it seems that it is a constraint"

He was about to send the Chief of Staff out, and then Alhu stood up.

"Brig Commander, please let me go. I just say I am a descendant of the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Don't worry, I will never say my father's name. I just say that I am a descendant of an ordinary Eight Banners soldier. I just want to tell him about the situation in our place..."

As soon as he stood up, Ha Jun, son of Ha Dan, and Aning, son of Alin, all stood up.

"Brig Commander, I'm willing to go"

At this time, Ubash said, "Let me go. Although I am the son of Qilibu, my father has passed away for many days. Even if they know, they can't do anything. Also, you are all battalion commanders, I am the regiment commander, and this is a bit more weight."

"Also, Duan Xiongfei is in our hands, my life is absolutely guaranteed, and I can be exchanged with him at the worst, so you don't have to worry"

Yan Dunhuang thought for a while and thought to himself: "Wubash is a suitable candidate. He grew up in his uncle's house. After Qilibu had children, he was not ordinary people who could survive in that kind of family. Moreover, he is the oldest and has the most experience. Ha Jun and others are braver. It is better to do this kind of thing with a mature job."

Then he stood up, "Ubashi, after the matter is done, I will ask you for me"

Ubash smiled faintly, "If you don't make any contribution, you don't pay much attention to it. However, the general said it well before. At present, a large number of reinforcements from the Qing army are coming in a row. If you don't take Ulya Sutai as soon as possible, the situation in our army will still be a bit critical. We must take the initiative to create this opportunity."
