Volume 1 Chapter 39: Shanhaiguan (1)

Ling Jingyang did not rush to lead the troops to Shanhaiguan, first, there was a distance from Santun Camp to Shanhaiguan, and second, the troops had just been reorganized, and there were still many places to improve.

First of all, the soldiers should know the generals, and the generals will also know the soldiers, so that the generals and soldiers of the various departments are familiar, it will take half a day, and the second is the armament, the grain and grass in the city can be eaten by the troops for three days, and a batch of grain and grass can be captured from Jiannu, at least in the next five days, the grain and grass will be sufficient, Ling Jingyang did not distribute the grain and grass to the ministries, but distributed one day of grain and grass to each department, and the rest of the grain and grass were all escorted by the old steamed buns.

Finally, weapons and equipment, Jiannu firearms equipment rate is high, armor rate is also high, this battle captured a lot of armor and firearms, all equipped to the most brave soldiers and generals of the whole army, to ensure that the army's combat effectiveness is not very low.

There are still sporadic remnants of Jiannu troops outside the city, they are unwilling to fail, and want to wait for the opportunity to sneak attack Santun Camp, Ling Jingyang is not ambiguous, let Fang Xiaoyan lead the city wall of the Baoyi Military Region, these Baoyi and Jiannu have a deep blood feud, and the Jiannu outside the city are all watched by Baoyi, and the Jiannu outside the city has no chance to sneak attack, so they have to shake their heads and sigh outside the city.

Ling Jingyang has soldiers and food, but he is short of silver, and in the battle, they also seized some silver from Jiannu, only a few dozen taels of silver, which is not enough for half a month's salary for the officers and soldiers of the whole army, and pulls the troops back to the Dashun army.

Ling Jingyang, who came from hundreds of years later, is not empty of blood, no brains, if you want to gallop in this land, you must have the support of other forces, in the Central Plains, it is not the Ming army, nor the Dashun army, but the gentry class.

They controlled a large amount of land and population, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they were a force that could influence the general trend of the world, and they had to rely on the support of these people.

The whole army rested for a day and a night in the Santun camp, and set off for Shanhaiguan the next day, Ling Jingyang made it clear that no one was allowed to be left behind, in order to prevent the troops under his command from defecting to the old troops, Ling Jingyang also authorized the old steamed buns, as long as someone wants to go back, people can go, but the weapons are left.

The old steamed bun shrugged his shoulders and said to Ling Jingyang: "My lord, are you guarding against Li Rufeng and those two Tang Tong people?" ”

Ling Jingyang seemed to nod, but not like a nod, and the old steamed bun smiled without saying a word, everything was silent, the old steamed bun and Ling Jingyang said: "The one who holds the flag, we are the only one left with this post, Leng Pang, Wang En, and Wang Bao, do you think you want to mention Wang Bao as well?" ”

"Which one is the King's Castle?"

Ling Jingyang thought for a while, and had a little impression, he was one of the four Ming soldiers, and the other three soldiers died in the battle, leaving him alone, Ling Jingyang and the old steamed bun said: "Let him go to Quan Tiefeng to be the head of the sentry, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"Order."

The old steamed bun excitedly rushed to bring Wang Bao and went to the whole iron wind department to serve as the head of the whistle, Quan Tiefeng saw that the old steamed bun brought someone to be his head of the whistle, without saying a word, immediately arranged for Wang Bao to be the head of the whistle, Wang Bao became a chess piece of Ling Jingyang in the whole iron wind department, as for whether this chess piece will have an effect, Ling Jingyang hopes that he will not use it in this life.

The army planned to take a small road to Shanhaiguan, in order to avoid other armies, not only Jiannu here, but also to worry about being annexed by other troops of the Dashun army, for which Ling Jingyang specially summoned Quan Tiefeng, cold as iron.

The two of them are the living map of Jizhen, and Ling Jingyang said: "You can go northeast from Qian'an, and follow this road to reach Jielingkou, this road basically follows the Great Wall, you can avoid other soldiers and horses, but the distance is long, it takes a long time, and it takes about five days to reach Shanhaiguan." ”

Today is the eighteenth, walk from this road, and when you arrive at Shanhaiguan, the battle has ended, and they are not greeted by the soldiers and horses of the Dashun army, but the defeated Dashun army that was beaten by Jiannu, and there is no point in going to Shanhaiguan at that time.

Ling Jingyang said: "What about galloping like a starry night? ”

"My lord, this road can't go fast, it's all mountain roads, and it's already the fastest speed to be able to reach it in five days."

Ling Jingyang's mind was full of the Shanhaiguan Battle that broke out on the 21st, and suddenly his mind flashed, the Shanhaiguan Battle broke out on the 21st, which did not mean that Li Zicheng led the main force to Shanhaiguan on the 21st, and the main force of the Dashun Army should also be on the way to Shanhaiguan at this time.

In fact, Li Zicheng led the army to Yongping Mansion yesterday, that is, on the 17th, if Ling Jingyang could speed up the whole army to Funing, he might be able to join Li Zicheng.

But Ling Jingyang didn't do this, he took the troops, marched to Yongping Mansion, set off in the morning, and advanced twenty kilometers by noon, most of the soldiers of the whole army were so tired that they sat on the ground, Ling Jingyang looked at these soldiers, one by one, panting, and their physical fitness was too weak, especially the coats, they were even more tired and stuck out their tongues, maybe these coats exhausted their energy when they entered the customs from Xifengkou.

As a last resort, Ling Jingyang had no choice but to let Jin Dashou and other prisoners set up camp for the army, Jin Dashou took more than ten prisoners who did not surrender to live or die, and set up more than 20 simple military tents for the soldiers of the Dashun Army.

According to Ling Jingyang's plan, he galloped under the stars tonight, striving to catch up with the large army on the 20th, and at that time, he tried every means to let Li Zicheng obtain the information of the Qing army's entry into the customs, and leave enough troops to resist the Qing army's surprise attack in the Battle of Shanhaiguan.

In particular, the Tang Tong Department strengthened its defensive strength in a piece of stone, as long as it persisted until the Dashun army eliminated the Guanning army, the Qing army's surprise attack would lose its effect, and the Dashun army would have time to rearrange its troops and fight with the Qing army.

Ling Jingyang's plan is very good, but then an army came, so that Ling Jingyang jumped like thunder, this is a unit in the rear camp of the Dashun army, more than 1,000 people in the whole army, subordinate to the rear camp of General Gao Yigong of the right Guoyi, they as a reserve, also rushed to Shanhaiguan in the starry night.

Just in time for Ling Jingyang's troops, in their eyes, they only saw hundreds of soldiers of the Da Shun army who didn't know which battalion, lazily lying in the tent to rest, the general of this army couldn't help but be furious, and broke into the Ling Jingyang military camp with dozens of cavalry, but was blocked by Fang Xiaoyan and the soldiers.

The soldiers of the rear camp were shocked when they saw Fang Xiaoyan and the others with bare foreheads, isn't this Jiannu?

They hurriedly called out to the other soldiers and prepared to attack Ling Jingyang's military camp, Ling Jingyang heard the shouting of people outside the barracks, raised his big knife, and led all the soldiers to the gate of the barracks.

Ling Jingyang hurriedly ordered all the troops to fight, he came to the gate of the barracks with his own soldiers, Fang Xiao saw him coming, and said: "Hold the flag, these people have to say that we are building slaves." ”

This is an oolong, Ling Jingyang and the soldiers of the rear battalion said that they are also the Dashun army, and after completing the task assigned by Zuo Maotai, the squire of the military department, they rushed to Shanhaiguan to participate in the battle.

The rear camp is the old battalion of the Dashun Army, and the general of this unit is Du Wei, called Wang Qi, he looked down on Ling Jingyang, and said: "You people are Jiannu at first glance, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know Jiannu, when Lao Tzu cut off the heads of Jiannu outside the pass, your group of baby soldiers are still in the womb of the mother." ”

Wang Qi participated in the battle of Songjin in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and the army was defeated after the bloody battle with Jiannu, he was still a general at the time, and fled back to the pass with dozens of soldiers, but was ruthlessly despised, in a fit of anger, he threw himself into the army, and followed the army to the south and north, because it was a Zheng'er Bajing official army, and the battle was brave, after the Dashun army broke through the capital, Wang Qi was promoted to the captain, and the position was above Ling Jingyang.

"I am the commander of the military department appointed to hold the flag, if you don't believe it, you can go to Shanhaiguan with us, find Zuo Shilang, and ask him if we are the soldiers and horses of Dashun?"

Ling Jingyang has confidence, he has more than 800 soldiers under his command, he has just fought a bloody battle with Jiannu, and there is nowhere to vent his enthusiasm and victory.

Wang Qi only saw clearly at this time the soldiers near Ling Jingyang, one by one with angry eyebrows, seeing whether this posture was good or not, Wang Qi still felt that he was old: "The ghost knows if you are a slave and a slave, Captain Bendu ordered you, go in front, we will watch from the back, and when you get to the front line, I will personally meet Lord Shilang." ”

Li Rufeng couldn't stand Wang Qi, and scolded angrily: "Which onion are you?" As long as you are old, I think you are the old king. ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers of the two armies suddenly became a ball, because they were all holding the banner of the Dashun Army, and the two armies tacitly acquiesced that they were friendly to each other, and they did not fight, they all used their fists to compare whose was harder, and more than 1,000 soldiers punched to the flesh, and they were very happy.

Ling Jingyang fought hard, trying to stop the brawl between the two sides, but was punched on the cheek by an old battalion soldier, this punch angered Ling Jingyang, he was a backhand punch, the soldier who attacked him was immediately knocked unconscious, and the other old battalion soldiers saw Ling Jingyang knock out a person with a punch, and they all came up to beat Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang had beaten so many people, and was about to retreat, dozens of soldiers rushed out behind him, and the old battalion soldiers were in a ball.

There is a familiar figure of Ling Jingyang in this group of soldiers, it turned out to be Zhu Youzhen, Wang Chengen also followed Zhu Youzhen to fight together, the two live in the palace all the year round, and the fighting skills are naturally not strong, and they were soon beaten by the old camp soldiers, Ling Jingyang rushed up, kicked one by one, even beat and kicked, scattered this group of old battalion soldiers, and hurried to support other subordinates, the camp is still continuing to fight, and the two armies have the momentum of not distinguishing the winner and losing today, and not giving up.

In the end, Ling Jingyang's subordinates were more skilled, after all, they had just been rested, and their physical strength was sufficient, Wang Qi and his subordinates were beaten to the ground, hundreds of people were knocked to the ground, and they snorted in pain, Wang Qi himself was beaten by an old mantou with an old fist, and his eyes were full of gold stars, and his subordinates hurriedly covered his retreat, and this brawl ended with the victory of Ling Jingyang's department.

The soldiers of the old battalion were not convinced, from the fight just now, they agreed that Ling Jingyang and the others were indeed the Dashun army, if it wasn't for the Dashun army, they would have used the knife a long time ago, but they still couldn't swallow this breath, so they had to have another group fight with Ling Jingyang to get back face.

Ling Jingyang didn't have time to play with them, he had to rush to Shanhaiguan as soon as possible to tell Li Zicheng the news of the Qing army's secret entry into the customs, Wang Qi would not let him live or die, let his subordinates go down to provoke, and find a time to fight again in the afternoon.

Wang Qi didn't let Ling Jingyang set off, Ling Jingyang had no choice but to call Wang Qi, saying that there was important information, and asked Wang Qi if he dared to come to his military camp, Wang Qi was also iron, anyway, there were so many subordinates, he went to Ling Jingyang military camp, he could earn back face, so he took a palm flag, and the two generals came to Ling Jingyang's military camp.

Entering the barracks, Fang Xiaoyan and the others covered their beaten red eyes, staring at him deadly, in the brawl just now, Fang Xiaoyan was beaten the hardest, who made their foreheads shiny, the soldiers of the old camp also fought easily, Fang Xiaoyan and the others almost resisted the attack of most of the soldiers of the old camp, and gave other soldiers a chance to defeat the old camp.

When Ling Jingyang saw Wang Qi, he had a big bag bulging on his forehead, this is the masterpiece of the old steamed bun, the old steamed bun stood behind Ling Jingyang, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, he was uncomfortable, Wang Qi saw the obscene appearance of the old steamed bun at a glance, and he was angry in his heart, but it was not good to attack, so he could only hold it in his heart.

"This general, we are the subordinate troops of General Bai Minghe of the right battalion, and we rushed to Shanhaiguan this time to report important information to Your Majesty, and I also ask the general to make it convenient, don't continue to fight for it, not to mention the anger, but also hurt the bodies of the soldiers."

Ling Jingyang's words were very polite, but Wang Qi still didn't give up, today his subordinates were beaten all over the place, several sentry posts were always beaten, and now they are still confused and delirious, he is a captain, and he is a level higher than Ling Jingyang, he has to have another battle this afternoon, otherwise he can't swallow this mouth.

"Lao Tzu is a dignified lieutenant, but the old battalion and old troops, they were beaten by your group of recruits from the right battalion today, how can they mix up after it is passed out, this afternoon, we must find the field."

Ling Jingyang really didn't want to argue with him, and his tone began to harden: "This general, it's enough."

He suddenly turned his tone cold, Wang Qi was a little uncomfortable, and just wanted to speak, Ling Jingyang said again: "You are a captain, one level higher than me, I should respect you, but you are such a petty family, where do you put the friendly troops on the front line?" ”

Wang Qi didn't know that Ling Jingyang sent Li Zicheng the information on the entry of the Qing army, thinking that Ling Jingyang's army was just sending ordinary information, even if there was another fight in the afternoon, they could still continue to rush at night.

Ling Jingyang suddenly stepped forward and startled Wang Qi, thinking that Ling Jingyang was going to kill him, he took a step back, Ling Jingyang was taking a step forward, and quickly whispered in his ear: "Jiannu entered the customs, and the so-called Jiannu you saw in our army at noon is the coat we rescued from defeating Jiannu in Santun Camp. ”
