Someone in the crowd asked the county Cheng, when will you start sending grain and grass?

The county suddenly glared at him, and compared with a soldier of the Eight Banners, this person was a spy of the Dashun Army, mixed in the crowd to inquire about information, and should be killed.

The Eight Banners soldiers pulled out their waist knives and rushed into the crowd, pulling the person who had just spoken out of the crowd, and the other Eight Banners soldiers stepped forward, one by one, and slashed at the poor man's head, and died immediately.

Leng Rutie has seen ruthless people, and he has also seen indiscriminate killing, but he has never talked about such a scoundrel county leader, he silently imprinted the appearance of the county leader in his mind, and waited for Lu Long to defeat this person.

The county Cheng kicked away the corpse and said to everyone: "This is the end of inquiring, in the future, be leisurely, bury your head in sending grain and grass to the Qing Dynasty, don't say much about other people, if you talk like this, the three clans." ”

Subsequently, he asked these men to gather in the school field in the city, and set off to Shanhaiguan in the afternoon to pick up grain and grass, and then sent them to the front line, Leng Rutie and hundreds of people were sent to the school field, and the number of soldiers was not much, but there were more than 1,000 people on the school field, Leng Rutie sat on the ground, watching more and more people being driven to the school field, it seems that Jiannu is very short of manpower.

If there is a large amount of grain and grass passing through Lulong County, there is no need to attack Lu Longxiang, and it may be a wiser choice to concentrate troops to rush to build slave grain and grass.

Leng Rutie didn't come out of the city, the anxious Li Rufeng walked around in the forest, and his subordinates advised him not to be anxious, Leng Zhangqi was not an ordinary person, and he would definitely be able to leave the city later.

Li Rufeng is not a fool, he has been looking at the gate of Lulong County all morning, only seeing someone entering, but not seeing anyone out, could it be that Jiannu is killing people in the city?

"A few of you, go back and report to the commander first, just say that the defense in Qian'an City is empty, you can concentrate your forces to attack, and you can go down in half a day, so that the enemy situation in Lulong City is unknown, and you can enter the city like a wind to spy on intelligence, and I am afraid that Jiannu will slaughter the people in the city, please send troops to rescue as soon as possible."

His subordinates rode back, Li Rufeng wanted to enter the city several times to find Leng Rutie, and it was thought that Leng Rutie said that he was big and had calluses on his hands, and he would be beheaded by Jiannu when he entered the city, or he would pull Zhuang Ding, or he could not bear to enter the city.

Leng Rutie didn't know that Li Rufeng was so anxious, he wanted to continue to lurk in the city, and find out more information, the county Cheng had lunch and took his subordinates to the school field, he ordered the troops in the city to go out of the city to pull the strong Ding today, and almost pulled the young people from the nearby villages to the city, and these young people had to be sent to Shanhaiguan, who let the regent win all the way?

He heard that the regent was about to invade the capital to avenge Lord Chongzhen, and the Qing army's troops went farther and farther, consuming more and more grain and grass, and the greater the logistical pressure, requiring a large number of manpower to maintain logistics operations.

So he drove all the young people in the vicinity to the city, and took these people to Shanhaiguan to help transport grain, grass and supplies.

At this time, there were more than 2,000 young people in the school field, and the county Cheng felt that it was not enough, and he wanted to continue to pull Zhuang Ding, but he was stopped by the Qing army's highest general in the city, the second-class guard Sha Tai, and he said to the county Cheng: "Hu Sanshi, you pull all the young and strong to Shanhaiguan, who will cultivate the land?" ”

The Manchus were not nomadic peoples, but fishermen and hunters, and with the defeat of the Ming army repeatedly, their territory continued to expand, and the number of people they ruled became more and more numerous, and they gradually attached importance to farming, and they also understood that much more grain was produced from the land than from fishing and hunting.

Almost every Manchu general realized the importance of land, April was still the spring ploughing period, and there was a large amount of land in Beizhili that needed to be cultivated, so Shatai stopped Hu Sanshi from continuing to pull Zhuang Ding, Hu Sanshi did not dare to disobey the order, and quickly ordered the troops outside the city to be withdrawn.

With the withdrawal of the Qing army outside the city, the young Zhuang in the city also began to arrange the team, divided into six teams, each team of 300 people, Leng Rutie was arranged in the first team, Hu Sanshi and Qingzhuang announced that they would leave for Shanhaiguan tonight.

As soon as many people heard about the fryer, they asked to go home and say goodbye to their loved ones, or at least to send a letter to their loved ones, so that their loved ones knew what they were doing?

Hu Sanshi was afraid that after Qingzhuang went back, he would not come back, and ordered the city gate to be closed, which made Li Rufeng outside the city suddenly feel cold, this Jiannu was slaughtering the people in the city, he pulled out his waist knife, but put down the iron knife, even if Jiannu was killing in the city, he could only wait for Ling Jingyang to lead the main force to come to support.

Ling Jingyang with a large army, slowly approaching Qian'an City, in the afternoon, Li Rufeng's cavalry rushed back, to him to report the information of Qian'an City, Ling Jingyang listened, convened the generals, decided to immediately raid Qian'an City.

The generals also understood that the arrow had to be sent, and if the city was not moved at this time, the morale of the army and the people would be so low that the whole army would be scattered, and Ling Jingyang ordered all the departments to gather together and concentrate all their efforts to kill the city of Qian'an.

After the soldiers received the military order, the whole army accelerated and killed towards Qian'an City, because Li Rufeng was in Lulong City, Ling Jingyang ordered the whole Tiefeng Department and the cavalry battalion to take the lead and break through the Qing army's mobile post outside Qian'an City as quickly as possible.

These sentinels were not many in number, with the strength of Quan Tiefeng's subordinates and cavalry battalions, it was easy to disperse the Qing army's guerrilla soldiers and horses outside the city, and after Quan Tiefeng received the task, he led the troops and cavalry battalions to rush to the front, entering the Qian'an City within ten kilometers, and a small number of Qing cavalry began to haunt.

The cavalry of the Qing army saw the cavalry battalion and a group of infantry rushing here, and the Qing army was small, so they immediately withdrew, and the cavalry battalion took the lead, breaking through the Qing army's swimming post between 10 and 5 kilometers in one go.

Ling Jingyang led a large army to follow closely behind, and did not encounter resistance along the way, he ordered to speed up, not to let the Qing soldiers withdraw to Qian'an City, and increase the casualties of the siege.

The large army continued to attack, and the Qing army outside Qian'an City quickly withdrew to the city, and lit the beacon fire in time, and let a small number of cavalry rush back to Lulongcheng, asking the defenders of Lulongcheng to send troops to rescue.

Waiting for Ling Jingyang to lead the Shiying soldiers and civilians to Qian'an City, the city was ready for battle, more than 300 Qing soldiers were armed with bows and crossbows, and birds were holding on to the city wall, Ling Jingyang looked at the city wall of Qian'an City was not high, without any hesitation, and ordered Shiying to attack.

Suddenly, nearly 2,000 soldiers and civilians of the stone battalion flocked to the city wall like a tide, and all departments had combat missions, Wan Liyun led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and Li Daoli's troops and horses, covering the firepower of the Qing army and suppressing the firepower output of the Qing army.

Dong Daqi and Lao Mantou led people to hit the city gate, and the rest of the soldiers and horses stormed the city wall, among which Qin Hu was the first to board the troops, and the red eyes hit the city wall, this was a bloody battle, Ling Jingyang saw with his own eyes that the soldiers and civilians of Shiying were on the way to the city wall, and were killed by the Qing army with bows and crossbows, firearms, and more injured soldiers and civilians, lying on the ground and wailing in pain.

Qin Hu led the siege troops, after the other soldiers leaned on the ladder, they rushed up with shields, and there were soldiers who were smashed down by the Qing army's stones and wooden blocks, and some soldiers just climbed the city wall, and their heads were cut off by the Qing army's broadsword, Qin Hu bit the broadsword with his mouth, held the shield with one hand, and climbed up quickly with one hand against the ladder, and the Qing army's stones and wood were dodged by him.

Away from the battlements, the Qing soldiers were afraid that he would climb up, and cut him with big knives and spears, but Qin Hu blocked the supply with a shield, which did not bring harm to Qin Hu, but those Qing soldiers who released arrows were shot to death by the soldiers of the stone camp.

Qin Lie looked at Qin Hu under the city, sweated for him in his heart, and prayed that he would not be defeated by the Qing army, so that he could successfully ascend first and kill the Qing army on the city wall.

Dong Daqi and Lao Mantou led people to slam into the city gate, and the old steamed bun gave Dong Daqi cover under his head, and Dong Daqi carried a huge log, and hit the city gate again and again, knocking the city gate into a slight crack, but he could not break it open.

The Qing army in Qian'an City resisted stubbornly, causing a surge in casualties among the soldiers and civilians in Shiying, and not long after the battle began, the city gate was not breached, and hundreds of people had been lost, Ling Jingyang's heart was dripping blood, Dong Daqi was still hitting the city gate, and Qin Hu finally climbed the city wall.

He used his shield to block the Qing soldiers to slash, and then shook it hard, a Qing soldier was thrown off the city wall, and was divided into corpses by the soldiers of the stone camp under the city, after Qin Hu boarded the city wall, he used the shield to open the way and kill a small area on the city wall, and the stone battalion soldiers behind quickly climbed up and followed him to expand the area occupied by the city wall.

The soldiers of the stone battalion who participated in the war were mobilized before the war, and only when the city of Qian'an was laid, there was enough food to withdraw to Shanxi, and every soldier of the stone battalion sacrificed their lives to attack the Qing army, with the group of Qin Hu rushing to the head of the city and occupying a small position on the city wall, more and more soldiers of the stone battalion followed this gap to the city wall and fought with the Qing army.

Under the city, Dong Daqi spent the strength of the ninety-two tigers, lost half of the soldiers under his command, and finally smashed open the city gate, and the stone camp outside the city rushed to the city with a big sword.

Ling Jingyang watched from afar, this time there was only the artillery battalion without fighting, because there was no artillery in the army, and the gunpowder was reduced to a decoration because there was no gunpowder, Wang Chengen asked the artillery battalion to participate in the battle before the battle, and Ling Jingyang also agreed, but after the offensive began, Ling Jingyang suddenly ordered the artillery battalion to withdraw from the battle.

This move made Wang Chengen very incomprehensible, if the artillery battalion does not participate in the battle, it will be looked down upon by the other departments of the stone battalion, how will the artillery battalion mix in the stone camp in the future?

Ling Jingyang asked the artillery battalion to watch the prisoners, as well as Zhao Kang and other family members of the Guanning army who were unwilling to go to Shanxi, and after the battle was over, the family members could leave, and the prisoners would continue to be taken with them, providing free labor for the stone camp.

The battle of Qian'an City came to an end, the number of Qing troops in the city was not much, the stone camp entered the city, the resistance of the Qing army was extinguished, and more than 300 Qing soldiers were all wiped out, of which more than 200 were killed and more than 100 were captured.

Most of the prisoners were the surrendered Guanning army, as well as other Ming troops who surrendered to the Dashun army, and all the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners Headquarters of the Qing army were killed in battle.

Ling Jingyang ordered all the prisoners of Qian'an City and the prisoners of the stone camp to be mixed together, and asked Wan Liyun to ask if anyone surrendered this time, and those who surrendered could join the stone camp and continue to work as coolies if they did not surrender.

Wan Liyun came to the captives with a knife, this time he didn't need to ask, almost all the captives expressed their willingness to become soldiers in the stone camp, Wan Liyun was very surprised, how did these people change so much?

Many captives came to be Ming, following the Dashun army, and following the Qing army, there is no difference, as long as they can give food to eat, do not let starve to death, the prisoners who did not surrender before can't stand the hard work day and night, it is better to surrender to the Dashun army, at least don't have to be tired and tired.

Ling Jingyang scattered the captives and scattered them to various departments, and then ordered the whole army to obtain supplies in Qian'an City, and the soldiers of Shiying cheered in the city, and they found a large warehouse in the city, a whole warehouse of mixed noodles, light cakes, wheat and other dry food, and twenty boxes of salt.

Salt cubes are good things, they are necessities for the human body, Ling Jingyang asked the captives, are these grains and grasses from the Qing army? The captive shook his head and told him that these grains and grasses were not brought by the Qing army, but were placed in the warehouse by the local Dashun army, and they wanted to support the Dashun army on the Shanhaiguan front.

But the Dashun army was defeated quickly, and the Dashun army in the city did not have time to take away the grain and grass, and the city was occupied by the Qing army, and the grain and grass were not burned in time, becoming the trophies of the Qing army.

A batch of grain and grass was seized in the city, the old steamed bun was ecstatic, these grain and grass can make the entire stone camp last for half a month, and there is still a small amount of gunpowder in the city, Ling Jingyang ordered all of them to be replenished to the artillery camp.

According to the information sent back by the cavalry battalion, the number of Qing troops in Lulongcheng is unknown, but Lulongcheng and Qian'an City are adjacent, and the defenders cannot sit idly by and watch Qian'an City be captured, and sit idly by.

He acted according to the plan, ordered all the departments to set up an ambush in the city, let some family members change into military uniforms, and after the Qing army in Lulongcheng arrived, retreated to the north under the escort of the cavalry battalion, creating the illusion that Qian'an City was captured by the Dashun army and was abandoned, and the other departments were ambushed in the city, waiting for the Qing army of Lulongcheng to enter the city, and come to close the door and fight the dogs.

Wan Liyun felt that it was a little inappropriate for Ling Jingyang to do this, and Ling Jingyang was a little surprised, couldn't this attract the Qing army?

"Captain Lingdu, there are more than 100 soldiers in our army, as long as one person shouts that there is an ambush in the city, all of us will become a laughing stock of Jiannu with our efforts, and please ask Captain Lingdu to properly deal with the prisoners?"

In order to ensure that the plan was not leaked, he asked Ling Jingyang to kill all the prisoners, Ling Jingyang's face was suddenly cold, which made Wan Liyun a little scared, Ling Jingyang said to him: "Captain Wandu, you are meticulous, I am listening to someone who is not considering." ”

Ling Jingyang's tone was very cold, but he really thought he was reasonable, but Ling Jingyang didn't agree with killing these captives, he hurriedly said: "These captives have been scattered among the armies, and they can't make any waves, so let them retreat with the cavalry battalion and their families, Captain Lingdu, you think this is good."

Ling Jingyang acquiesced in his idea, and took the opportunity to let him complete the task of feigning to retreat, Wan Liyun did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and gathered the previous captive soldiers from all the departments, these captive soldiers thought that the Dashun army was returning and wanted to kill them, and they turned pale with fright.
