Volume 1 Chapter 61: Go to the Rear (3)
Outside the city into a pot of porridge, the battle in the city also entered the white-hot stage, Ling Jingyang led Dong Daqi, Wang Chengen two soldiers and horses, in the Luocheng school field and Jiannu guards the decisive battle, Jiannu guards will be the fourth class guard of the blue banner Ha'e, the regent led the main force of the Dashun army, he was appointed as the Luocheng garrison, leading the blue flag half of Niulu, fifty eight banner soldiers, one hundred armor men and three hundred Mengba banners stationed in Luocheng.
In tonight's battle, Meng Baqi and the armored people were scattered, only he led fifty Eight Banners soldiers to fight to the death and did not retreat, although the death did not retreat, but in the face of absolute strength, it was still beaten dead and wounded, leaving him and more than 20 people to guard the school field, Ling Jingyang led hundreds of people to besiege Ha E, Ha E raised the long knife, and wanted to live and die with Luo Cheng.
Ling Jingyang wanted to force these Eight Banners soldiers to surrender, but Ha E didn't give him a chance, before Ling Jingyang opened his mouth, he rushed over with the Eight Banners, Ling Jingyang was forced to fight, suddenly, there was a bang, Wang Chengen took the artillery battalion soldiers, and bombarded Ha E and other remnants of the Jiannu soldiers with three-eyed guns.
Ha'e body was hit by the three-eyed gun with a lot of blood holes, he was unwilling, he finally stayed in Luocheng, stationed in the rear for the regent, this is the regent's trust in him, it is not a dream to fly Huang Tengda in the future, but he was beaten into a sieve by the Dashun army, he still wanted to continue to kill, but the blood hole continued to blood outside, and his strength seemed to disappear, Zhang Luofu stepped forward and cut off his head with a knife, and the Eight Banners were wiped out by the stone camp one by one, and the remaining Meng Baqi and the armored people had long since disappeared.
Wan Liyun in the battle, very concerned about the battle outside the city, the cavalry battalion and the whole iron wind cold as the iron three soldiers and horses, is blocking the gap Jiannu reinforcements, he hurriedly asked Ling Jingyang to support the gap battle, Ling Jingyang let the old steamed bun, Dong Daqi, Zhang Luofu three people lead a large army to support the city wall battle, and let the artillery battalion soldiers go to the city wall to garrison, he took Fang Xiaoyan and other dozens of coats into other important places in the city.
In yesterday's battle, there were many prisoners in the Dashun army, as well as Jizhen soldiers and Bai Guangen's troops, after these troops were defeated, only a few soldiers withdrew, most of them surrendered, or were captured, if some prisoners were found in the city, they could replenish their troops on the spot.
Fang Xiaoyan and the others were tortured outside the gate for many years, and they survived tenaciously, and they all practiced good skills, they ran fast in the city, entered almost every building, and finally found a large number of corpses in the backyard of the yamen of the Luocheng official mansion.
These corpses are almost the corpses of the soldiers of the Dashun Army, and there are a small number of Jizhen soldiers, the corpses are all tied up with five flowers, these soldiers refused to surrender to Jiannu, and were brutally killed by Jiannu, Fang Xiaoyan walked around among the corpses, hoping to find a living mouth, but did not see a living person.
Ling Jingyang came to the courtyard, looked at the corpses all over the ground, admired these men very much, it seems that he is still a step late, If he had attacked earlier, maybe these soldiers would have survived.
"Xiaoyan, if you go again, I won't believe it, there won't be a single living mouth in the entire Luo City?"
Fang Xiaoyan continued to look for a job in the city with his coat, and Ling Jingyang was also going to support the battle, when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the corner of the backyard wall, he held a torch and carried a big knife and walked over gently, and a weak voice sounded.
"Is it Mr. Lingbu?"
Ling Jingyang stepped forward with a torch to see, it turned out to be Li Daoli, Li Daoli in today's battle, led his subordinates to break into Luocheng, and the Guanning army was killed in the dark, killed too deeply, did not receive the order to retreat, and was cut off by Jiannu, and led a group of subordinates to fight with the Guanning army in the city, and finally outnumbered, knocked out by Jiannu with a stick, and threw it in the backyard with other prisoners.
He saw with his own eyes that the people who usually show off their martial arts and might, begging for mercy in front of Jiannu like his grandson, he would not surrender, he would rather be beheaded by Jiannu than fight his former comrades with Jiannu.
Hundreds of captives who were as reluctant to surrender as he were were thrown in the backyard by Jiannu, because Dolgon had just entered the customs and did not want to leave a notoriety of killing, so he did not kill these captives for the time being, and when the sound of siege sounded outside the city, Sele was afraid that he would not be able to hold the city, so he ordered these captives to be killed.
Dozens of subordinates in order to cover his life, desperately fighting with Jiannu, because his hands were tied, his subordinates used their foreheads, legs, teeth to fight with Jiannu, and were cut down by Jiannu, he hid in the corner of the backyard in the dark, Jiannu slaughtered wildly in the yard, and a Jiannu saw him in the corner, rushed over and slashed down, the blade cut at his back, and when he cut the rope, he also cut him, Jiannu would not just cut a knife, and continued to cut down, but he was heard that Ha Ou gathered his subordinates outside to support the city wall battle.
The Jiannu soldiers were stunned for a moment, still slashing down, Li Daoli fought to the death, kicked the Jiannu soldiers in the lower body with his right foot, this foot gathered Li Daowei's last trace of strength, and kicked the Jiannu soldiers to faint, and the other Jiannu soldiers did not see this Jiannu soldiers fainting, they all went to the school to gather, Li Daoli hated Jiannu to death, and pressed his knee against the throat of the Jiannu soldiers, a heavy impact, the Jiannu soldiers choked, and he was also injured because of the injury, lying in the corner waiting for death to come.
He laughed miserably at this Ling Jingyang and said: "I am really incompetent, I was captured alive by Jiannu, and I watched my brothers being slaughtered by Jiannu, but I hid here like a dog. ”
Ling Jingyang helped him up and said to him: "Don't blame yourself, the construction of slaves is powerful, our army can't be touched, are there other jobs in this city?" ”
Li Daoli closed his eyes and shook his head, more than a thousand captives in the city, more than half surrendered, and the rest were killed by Jiannu, Ling Jingyang was even more pity, if these captives could be replenished to the stone camp, the stone camp could fight a war of annihilation in Luocheng tonight.
He told Li Daoli that he led the troops to raid Luocheng tonight, and his subordinates were fighting with Jiannu on the city wall, and he was going to support the battle, and asked Li Daoli if he could go together, Li Daoli smiled dumbly, he was seriously injured, he could barely walk, and he was really powerless to fight with a knife.
Li Daoli begged Ling Jingyang to give him the torch: "You go to fight, give me the torch, I will burn this place, so that Jiannu can get a broken city." ”
Ling Jingyang gave him the torch, Fang Xiaoyan suddenly rushed over, and said to Ling Jingyang: "Duwei, I found some living people in Dongcheng and brought them all. ”
He was followed by a group of ragged soldiers, these soldiers were not the Dashun Army, nor the Jizhen soldiers, nor the Bai Guangen Army, Ling Jingyang stepped forward to look at these people, many of them had traces of whipping on their faces and arms, like wrapping clothes, but they did not have braids, he said: "Which battalion are you in?" ”
In this group of people, a burly man walked out, very politely introduced himself to Ling Jingyang, he was the Guanning Army garrison Qin Lie, Ling Jingyang and Fang Xiaoyan, Li Daoli and other Dashun Army soldiers immediately pulled out their waist knives, Qin Lie then told Ling Jingyang that they were indeed Guanning Army, but they were unwilling to surrender Jiannu, and were sent to Jiannu in Luocheng as a slave by Shangguan.
Jiannu did not kill them when the city was broken, firstly, because their master Wu Sangui had just surrendered, and killed his subordinates, which would cause Wu Sangui and other Guanning soldiers to be dissatisfied, and secondly, they were not like Li Daoli and other prisoners, although they were slaves, they were still free to move, and they were not tied with their hands, even if they were slaughtered, it would take a certain amount of time.
So Jiannu only killed the backyard and was unwilling to surrender to the Dashun army and Jizhen soldiers, these Guan Ning soldiers were lucky to escape, Ling Jingyang said to them: "Can you still fight Jiannu?" ”
Qin Lie said that there was no problem, although he was beaten by Jiannu, he could still go into battle and fight, and Ling Jingyang was also happy, so he asked Fang Xiaoyan to give them weapons and take them to support the city wall.
At this time, the battle of the city wall entered the white heat, Yicheng and Shanhaiguan reinforcements continued to kill, the stone camp soldiers fought desperately, Wang Chengen led Zhu Youzhen and other more than 100 artillery battalion soldiers, came to the city wall, facing the city is a three-eyed gun, jumping a bang, a piece of Jiannu soldier corpse fell under the city, it takes time to reload the three-eyed gun, Wang Chengen decisively ordered the artillery battalion soldiers to fight in close combat, inject new strength into the crumbling gap, and the Jiannu reinforcements have never broken through the gap.
Ling Jingyang took more than 100 Guanning soldiers to support the gap, Qin Lie and other Guanning soldiers were very familiar with Luocheng, he told Ling Jingyang that there was a small road in Luocheng leading to the outside of the city, if you trusted him, please Ling Jingyang and all the soldiers to detour to Jiannu's back from this small road, and give Jiannu a surprise blow.
Ling Jingyang didn't believe Qin Lie easily, and said to him: "You take a detour to the rear, and I will lead the soldiers and horses of my headquarters to plug the gap." ”
Li Daoli thought that Ling Jingyang would believe Qin Lie, but suddenly heard Ling Jingyang say this, and realized that Ling Jingyang was not so easy to trust others, Qin Lie also knew that the main body of the Guan Ning Army had betrayed Da Ming and Da Shun, they were just a group of outliers in the Guan Ning Army, and it was normal not to be trusted, he and Ling Jingyang said: "This general, you resist in front, I will definitely give Jiannu a knife from behind." ”
He disappeared into the night with more than a hundred soldiers of the Guanning Army, Ling Jingyang let them go, he took Fang Xiaoyan and others to support the gap battle in time, at this time the battle was inclined in the favorable direction of Jiannu, and Jiannu Zuo Lingsele, who was stationed in Shanhaiguan, noticed on the city wall that the scale of the battle in Luocheng was not very large, and there was no need to let the main force stationed in Shanhaiguan to support.
Sele also admired the group of Dashun soldiers who raided Luocheng tonight, these Dashun soldiers have brains and dare to raid, if they can turn these people into Ming Eight Banners, it will be easy for the Qing Dynasty to sweep the world, he watched the battle with great interest, and his subordinates kept reporting the battle situation to him, and the thief army in Luocheng began to retreat, and it would not take half an hour to eliminate the Luocheng thief army.
The general asked him to lead the five hundred Ming Eight Banners to support the battle of Luocheng, Sele waved his hand, and said to his subordinates: "The Ming people have a saying, how can you use a knife to kill chickens?" ”
As he said, the reinforcements of Yicheng and Shanhaiguan gradually broke through the gap and began to spread out to both sides of Luocheng, although Ling Jingyang and his subordinates were not scattered, they were also very difficult, he didn't expect Qin Lie to be able to raid Jiannu, after all, the entire Guanning army had voted for Jiannu, Qin Lie was so many, what was it?
Shiying is still insisting on resisting, Wan Liyun found Ling Jingyang and suggested that he could withdraw from the battle, after all, burning the grain cart tonight and raiding Luocheng have shocked Jiannu, and tomorrow there will be a large number of front-line Jiannu troops, withdrawn to garrison Shanhaiguan to prevent the back road from being cut off.
Ling Jingyang also accepted it when he saw it, and was ready to give a retreat order, and at this time, Qin Lie took more than 100 Guan Ning troops to detour behind Jiannu, and more than 100 bloody men were like hot knives cutting butter, tearing apart the Jiannu army, and were attacking the Luocheng Jiannu army. Work harder to defeat this group of slave soldiers. ”
Ling Jingyang shouted in the dark night, the reinforcements arrived, the Shiying soldiers were encouraged, and the Guanning army rushed and killed before and after, killing the Jiannu reinforcements who supported Luocheng crying and shouting for their mother, almost instantly, many people lost their weapons and ran, Ling Jingyang ordered all departments not to pursue, pack up the spoils, and prepare to withdraw.
Wan Liyun said to him: "Captain Lingdu, Jiannu is defeated tonight, he is anxious and angry, can we withdraw our troops?" ”
Li Rufeng walked over with the war horse and joked with Wan Liyun: "Oh, Captain Wandu, do you have a good move?" ”
Although Wan Liyun is a lieutenant, he is higher than Li Rufeng, but Li Rufeng is not his subordinate, and he is embarrassed to go back, but talks eloquently: "Jiannu is without Luocheng tonight, what do you think will happen to Dorgon?" ”
Li Rufeng snapped his fingers, and shook his neck with Wan Liyun in a dashing manner: "What else, order the front-line troops to withdraw and recover Luocheng?" ”
Wan Liyun looked at Li Rufeng with some smugness, and said with a smile: "No, no, no, there is a change in Shanhaiguan, and the news reaches Dolgon, at least until noon today, Dolgon I is a hero, naturally he will not sit back and watch the back road be cut off, and will mobilize some troops and horses to attack Luocheng, but will this Shanhaiguan guard lead the troops to attack Luocheng before Dolgon returns from the transfer of troops?" ”
Ling Jingyang suddenly came to his senses, and said to Wan Liyun: "You mean that the guards of Shanhaiguan Jiannu will definitely recapture Luocheng before the reinforcements come back, so as not to be belittled by Dolgon, right?" ”
Wan Liyun nodded, he suddenly remembered the reinforcements that Jingyang said, so he asked where these reinforcements came from?
Ling Jingyang beckoned to Qin Lie not far away, Qin Lie immediately took more than 100 soldiers of the Guanning Army to Ling Jingyang and others, Ling Jingyang and everyone introduced Qin Lie and other Guanning Army soldiers who were unwilling to surrender to Jiannu, and were given to Jiannu as slaves by Shangguan, the old steamed bun scolded the high-level Guanning Army for being a bad breed, and his subordinates were unwilling to surrender, so they either killed or drove away, and sent Jiannu as a slave, isn't this an insult?
Qin Lie and Ling Jingyang said: "This general, Qin is willing to serve all of you, and only wants us to fight with Jiannu to the end." ”
Zhu Youzhen was curious about how Qin Lie hated Jiannu so much, after all, Wu Sangui, Gaodi and other high-level Shanhaiguan officials all surrendered to Jiannu, but these small soldiers refused to surrender, Ling Jingyang was also very curious why Qin Lie did this?
