Just when Yang Lin led the volunteers to defeat Haoge, Luo Luo Hun Manda Haitong led all the way to the south along the Golden Bull Road, and fought successively, killing Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, in less than half a month, the general army slaughtered the dragon, defeated the famous Sichuan generals Yang Zhan and Cao Xun, occupied Mianzhou, Jiangyou, and Guanghan, and its forward entered the CD Plain.

In the middle of the year, the Volunteers had just conquered CD City, and although officials had been appointed to re-establish order in the past few months, after all, the time was very short, and the local contradictions were very great.

Hearing that the Tartars had entered the CD Plain, the ruffians and hooligans hiding in the dark heard the news, and the Sichuan Senator Ye Dabin, the prefect of the CD, Zhao Sixuan, and the commander of the CD, Ma Mingluan, were exhausted one by one, and in the face of the Qing army pouring into the CD Plain, everyone planned to surrender to Genting City in one fell swoop, so as to avoid Luo Luohun leading his troops to attack the main force of the volunteers.

When everyone was at a loss, after suddenly hearing the news that Yang Lin had defeated the main force of the Manchu Qing under Haoge in Shunqing City, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In the following days, the Qing army of Luoluohun temporarily stopped the offensive, and then the news came that the Qing army had withdrawn all the way north.

Due to early preparations, when the Qing army retreated north, Ye Dabin, Zhao Sixuan and others sent people to contact the Ming army scattered all over the country, but everyone panicked, only the general soldier Yang Zhan was willing to lead the troops to go, so the Qing army had just left, and the Ming army successively recovered Guanghan and Jiangyou, and confronted the Qing army Zhang Desheng in Mianzhou after the break.

Yang Lin was originally going to go into Sichuan to completely expel the Qing army from Sichuan, but the Qing army retreated all the way north, and its main force had already retreated to Lizhou, and it would take a lot of time and effort to attack.

At present, the main force of the Volunteer Army is only more than 30,000 people, plus the militia groups in various places are only 40,000 people.

Now the main force of the Haogrolo Hun has turned, and its strength is far above the volunteers, if it is forced to lead the troops to attack, it is afraid that it will be defeated by the Tartars.

Standing on the city wall of Cangxi, Yang Lin picked up a telescope from time to time to see through the layers of dense fog, trying to find a solution.

Qian Bangqi, Yin Chengqi, Yan Ximing, Jiang Dingzhen, Gong Wanjing and others sat down, and everyone shook their heads secretly, unable to find a good way at all.

According to Qian Bangji's opinion, that is, to unite the remnants of the Ming army in Sichuan to go north together to fight against the Tartars.

However, after Luo Luohun retreated northward, only Yang Zhan led his troops to pursue the Tartars, and the morale of the other troops was low and they did not dare to fight at all.

In addition, the greater threat comes from the Liukou in the direction of Chongqing, and now Sun Kewang is expected to take advantage of the chaos to occupy Chongqing City, and now he is probably also waiting.

At this moment, Du Jigui hurried over, shouting as he walked: "My lord, good news, good news, Liukou withdrew from Chongqing City and arrived in Qi (Jiang) County five days ago, and the deputy general Yang Wei led his troops to capture Bishan, Hechuan, and Chongqing counties in one fell swoop.

The remnants of Zeng Ying occupied Fuling and Changshou Lands. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, everyone applauded one by one, and everyone was happy to control the expansion of the territory and increase the population under his rule.

Even after multiple reforms, according to the current level, it is necessary to raise at least 100 soldiers, and now there are only 30,000 volunteers, mainly because the population under their rule is too small.

Everyone congratulated one after another, Yang Lin quickly returned to his former calm, looked at Baizhang Pass again, and said with a smile: "Everyone, although the occupation of Chongqing City is gratifying, but no matter what, we also have to gnaw the difficult bone of Baizhang Pass, let's talk about it, what can be done?" ”

Qian Bangxin walked out of the humiliation of the day, and arched his hand: "My lord, now that the Liukou has arrived in Qijiang, he will definitely approach Zunyi, and now Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces, is still in Zunyi."

My lord, Baizhang Pass is not easy to fight, so it is better to send soldiers and horses to exterminate the Liukou first. ”

When everyone heard this, their faces were full of ridicule, now that the rogue is at the end of his rope, how can he pose a threat to the Ming army?

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Everyone, since ancient times, the best shortcut to Sichuan has been through the Taurus Road to enter the CD Plain.

At the beginning of the year, I was quite suspicious about the westward expedition, but I couldn't bear everyone's insistence.

Now I will not make this mistake again, I will not expel the Tartars from Hanzhong, and I will never quit the army. ”

Yin Chengqi nodded and arched his hand: "My lord, in the next method, I don't know if it will work?"

Since Haoge entered Guanzhong, he has been smooth sailing, and has successively exterminated the Ming army of Yan'an in northern Shaanxi, Qingyang, Jigongshan, and Hanzhong.

But listening to some of the captives, these soldiers and horses were mostly defeated, and if the Tartars continued to have a smooth sail, there was nothing, but now that the Tartars have suffered a crushing defeat, then there is something to do. ”

As the saying goes, wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows, and now the heavy Tartar troops are gathered in the territory of Lizhou, and the rear defense is empty, and now it is time to make a big fuss.

Yang Lin sent multiple messengers to various places to contact He Zhen and Sun Shoufa.

Liao Qifang, the deputy general of the Fourth Regiment, together with Liu Jinfu's militia, went out of Micang Road, coerced Hanzhong, and forced the Tartars to retreat.

After that, Yang Lin ignored the approaching end of the New Year, led his troops to enter Baizhang Pass, and put on a posture of continuing to attack.

The most stressful thing is, of course, the naval artillery, which has an absolute advantage over the Tartars.

But now it is in the Xiaoice climate, and a thin layer of ice has formed on the Jialing River, which is very unfavorable for the advance of the water army.

Although Yang Lin knew that there was a reason for the incident, he still said ruthlessly: "Everyone, let Chen Huaixi hurry up, I made arrangements when I was in Shunqing Mansion City, in addition to food, priority is given to transporting red-clothed cannons."

In any case, ten redcoat cannons arrived at the front line tonight, and not one of them was missing. ”

The prison soldier Qian Bangxin admonished beside him: "My lord, this time I also lost the brothers of the navy.

The adults will use the navy as the food route of the army, and march all the way to the navy not only to ensure the transportation of grain and grass, but also to support the front-line departments. ”

Yang Lin opened his bloodshot eyes, shook his head and said, "What's going on with this, the war is urgent, you can find a way."

As the food road of the army, the navy must now take the responsibility of the grain road, and send someone to tell Chen Huaixi, if it can be transported before tonight, I will promote him to an official and give him a reward.

If you can't get it, see if I don't teach him harshly, this kind of thing can't be urged by the Lord all day long. ”

There was no choice but to send a fast horse to urge.

The transport ship loaded with the red-coated cannon marched with the large group of ships, and when he got the news, Chen Huaixi was also quite annoyed, this boat against the current was not as good as sailing against the water, the speed of the boat was very slow, and everyone was also quite anxious.

Now that he received the order, Chen Huaixi looked at it, and then handed it to the Qianzong Wang Fuchen, He Dou and others next to him, and sighed: "I have followed the adults for many years, and I have never seen him lose such a big temper, it seems that the adults are really angry."

Since the Manchu Tartars entered Sichuan, burning, killing, and forcibly captive, doing all kinds of evil, the whole village was slaughtered, and there were more than ten villages that I knew alone, and it seems that the adults really want to come to a closed door to beat the dogs, and all the Tartars into the Sichuan will be blocked to four (Sichuan). ”

Everyone felt the same way when they heard this, but now that they were sixty miles away from Baizhang Pass, and there were many dangerous shoals in front of them, how could they transport the red-coated artillery to the front line?

Looking at the lively people on both sides, Wang Fuchen's eyes lit up, when he followed the eighth generation of Wang Ruchuan and passed by the Three Gorges, weren't everyone dragging in front of the slender man?

As soon as he said it, Chen Huaixi nodded in agreement, and immediately got on the boat and docked, and when he saw the villagers who came around, Chen Huaixi arched his hand again and again: "Fellow villagers, the Tartars have burned and looted in Sichuan, and our relatives and friends have been slaughtered by them, and we all have skin pain.

The adults are going to close the door to the Tartars and beat the dogs, and strictly order us to transport the cannons to the front line, folks, I have no other way, and now I have to trouble you. ”

A gray-haired old man in his seventies walked out tremblingly and replied, "General, you say, what do you want everyone to do, we just listen to the general."

The Manchu Tartars really lost their conscience, hundreds of large cottages, men, women and children were slaughtered, and their cruelty was unheard of.

In the past, the soldiers were like bandits, and the soldiers and horses of the adults were better than Grandpa Yue's Yue's army, they did not forcibly conscript, did not demolish people's houses, and borrowed things and borrowed and repaid.

General, you say, what do you want everyone to do, everyone will do? ”

Chen Huaixi was quite moved when he heard this, and hoped to collect 200 laborers from the mountain villages along the way, and everyone dragged the boat forward.

Chen Huaixi promised that all the government that helped would pay them.

Everyone shook their heads, and everyone had the responsibility to kill the Tartars to protect everyone, defend their hometown and protect their relatives.

What kind of wages are not paid, not to mention in the farming, even if the farming is busy, everyone should put down the hoe and come to help.

The news that the swift officers and soldiers hoped that Minzhuang would help tow the transport ship spread, and everyone shouted the trumpet and pulled the long rope on their backs to move forward, and everyone worked together, and the brothers in the villages along the way continued to participate.

In the end, both sides of the Jialing River were full of people, some people were tired, others quickly made up, everyone shouted the trumpet, and walked like flying.

The ship was flying, and finally reached the front line when it was time to hold the light.

After hearing the news, Yang Lin was overjoyed, as a traverser, because he has been exposed to it since he was a child, the most important thing is the relationship between the military and the people, and now he sees the surrounding townships as a slender man in person, which is more meaningful than a big victory.

Chen Huaixi was immediately ordered to lead the naval army to arrive at Baizhang Pass and shell the Qing army on the upper floor of the pass.
