Volume 1 Chapter 40: Shanhaiguan (2)
Wang Qi was surprised by Ling Jingyang's words and couldn't speak for a long time, His Majesty and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Imperial Court didn't know that Jiannu had entered the customs, if the battle with Wu Sangui was the most intense, Jiannu would be killed in one fell swoop, and the imperial army would be killed like a river of blood, if this was the case, he blocked Ling Jingyang from going to Shanhaiguan, which was delaying the military situation, even if he had a hundred heads, it would not be enough to cut off.
Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and Ling Jingyang continued: "We have to hurry now, and I ask the general to make it convenient, and I will personally visit the door another day, and compensate the general and all the brothers, okay?" ”
"Good.. Good. No, it's not that we should, you guys hurry up. ”
Wang Qi realized that he was wrong, how could he still have the idea of finding the field, not only let Ling Jingyang's troops leave, but also gave half of the war horses in the army to Ling Jingyang, speeding up Ling Jingyang's troops.
Ling Jingyang didn't ask for Wang Qi's war horse in vain, he used the bird gun captured from the Qing army as a gift to Wang Qi, Ling Jingyang led the troops to leave, Wang Qi shouted in the back, I am Wang Qi of the old camp, after beating Wu Sangui and Jiannu, I invite you to drink.
The subordinates didn't understand Wang Qi's sudden turn, thinking that Wang Qi was sloppy to this group of recruits, and after the recruits left, they attacked from behind, and the group of recruits were looking for teeth all over the ground.
Wang Qi scolded with a slap on his face: "A group of waste, they can't beat others, and they almost made Lao Tzu become..."
His subordinates asked him, what did he almost become?
Wang Qi closed his mouth and said to his subordinates: "As far as you talk a lot, let's leave quickly, didn't they send twenty bird guns, you can practice while walking, and when you get to Shanhaiguan, give Guan Ningjun a taste of the power of our Dashun bird guns." ”
In order to respect Ling Jingyang, Wang Qi ordered the troops to disperse on both sides of the road, saying that they were escorting, Li Rufeng was the cavalry of the old battalion before, of course he knew what Wang Qi meant, he patted his horse and told Ling Jingyang that the people from the old camp were escorting him behind, and Ling Jingyang said to him: "These people from the old camp are really upright." ”
Ling Jingyang suddenly thought of Fang Xiaoyan and other coating performances, which were very conspicuous, they seemed to have hatred with everyone, and said to Li Rufeng: "How are those coatings?" ”
Li Rufeng felt that Fang Xiaoyan and other coats were the material for being soldiers, and they were especially suitable for becoming a descendant army, whether it was fighting Jiannu or other troops, they were very fierce and loyal, and they were worth cultivating.
Ling Jingyang was not heartbroken to lose the dozens of laborers of Jin Dashou, and said: "Jin Dashou's group of mud, if you run away, you will run, and when the soldiers and horses of the court see it, what will you do?" ”
"Kill them properly, it's the adults who are kind-hearted, and if they were other people, they would have been chopped up several times."
The two of them rode on the horse while chatting and moving forward, the front of the road was the whole iron wind department, the whole iron wind is very contradictory, Shanhaiguan is getting closer and closer, and you can return to the command of Tang Zongbing, it's just that he has this idea, Leng Rutie is the same as him, after arriving at Shanhaiguan, is he going to return to Tang Zongbing?
Although General Tang has surrendered to Dashun, the two are still a little unaccustomed to the change of face in this court, after all, in General Tang Bing, there are more comrades-in-arms and more tacit understanding.
Leng Rutie was advancing on the left side, he asked his henchmen to contact Quan Tiefeng, Quan Tiefeng was still hesitating, and suddenly saw a figure in the army, it was the Wang Bao brought by the old steamed bun, didn't this person come to prevent him from leaving?
Quan Tiefeng decided to wait, and when he arrived at Shanhaiguan, he asked people to find Tang Zongbing, saying that he wanted to come back, and asked Tang Zongbing to negotiate with the generals of the Dashun Army, and if he came back at that time, he would not hurt the peace.
After Leng Rutie knew Quan Tiefeng's attitude, he no longer had other ideas, and was dedicated to escorting on the left side, Ling Jingyang didn't know that the two subordinates Xiao Jiujiu, he was full of thoughts about how to see Li Zicheng after going to Shanhaiguan, and told Bai Minghe the news, and when General Bai reported it layer by layer, when he arrived at Li Zicheng, would Li Zicheng believe it, and what if he didn't believe it, would he believe it, would he think that Jiannu was just like this, and Toutie would continue to fight?
Ling Jingyang while heading, while leading the troops towards the direction of Shanhaiguan, arrived at Qian'an City that night, Qian'an City erected the Dashun flag, the city is full of Li Zi General Flag, Ling Jingyang does not want to rest in Qian'an City, wants to take the troops to bypass Qian'an City, rushed to Lulong County.
Lulong County is one of the subordinate counties of Yongping Prefecture, and it is also the government of Yongping Prefecture, which is relatively close to Shanhaiguan, and there is only one county seat in Funing County before that, maybe Li Zicheng is resting in Lulong County, and Ling Jingyang asked Quan Tiefeng, how many days does it take to move to Lulong? ”
"My lord, Qian'an to Lulong, eighty miles, night travel, you can arrive tomorrow morning."
The sun was about to set, and Ling Jingyang was not sure that he would travel eighty miles at night with most of the troops who were infantry, not to mention that the troops under his command were all miscellaneous soldiers who were patchwork together.
There are soldiers in the middle battalion, soldiers in the old battalion, soldiers in Jizhen, soldiers in the Ming army, and a large part of the newly liberated Baoyi, such a unit has been running for a long time all night, and half of the people will be able to follow him tomorrow morning, that is, he has a good way of governing the army.
Quan Tiefeng and other generals suggested that he rest in Qian'an City for one night, advance at full speed early tomorrow morning, and arrive at Lulongcheng in the evening, Ling Jingyang felt that this was inappropriate, and arrived in Lulongcheng tomorrow night, that is, on the evening of the 20th, early the day after tomorrow, the Battle of Shanhaiguan broke out, and he had to tell Li Cheng the information before the outbreak of the war, and he had to leave enough time for Li Zicheng to arrange his troops and formulate a new battle plan.
Ling Jingyang was ruthless and decided to leave the infantry troops in Qian'an City to rest, and he led the cavalry of the whole army to advance at full speed, striving to catch up with Li Zicheng's main force this evening.
Who will serve as the stay-behind guard? He thought about all the generals in his mind, and finally decided that Zhang Luofu, the Ming warrior, would stay in the troops, and the other generals and cavalry would rush to Shanhaiguan with him.
In order to allow Zhang Luofu to do his best to stay in the army, Ling Jingyang also deliberately brought Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen together.
Zhang Luofu is very reluctant, although he has a blood feud with Dashun, but he still has a heart to fight with Jiannu to the end, Ling Jingyang and he talked about two strategies, if before the 23rd, the front line is defeated, he will immediately turn around, and withdraw to the Santun camp with the troops, he will also retreat in the direction of the Santun camp with the cavalry, and when retreating, he must gather more grain, grass, weapons and ammunition, so as to gather the remnants of the defeated army in the future and expand the army.
If the 23rd did not receive the news of the rout at the front, he hurried to Shanhaiguan to participate in the battle with Jiannu.
Zhang Luofu agreed, but he also solemnly made a request to Ling Jingyang, that is, to take care of the person called Leng Pang in the team, so as not to let him be hurt in the slightest.
Ling Jingyang smiled at him and said, "Even if I die, I will die in front of him." ”
