Wan Liyun said to them: "Captain Ling has an order, and you are the vanguard, carrying grain and grass and retreating first with Captain Bendu." ”

When the captives heard that they were carrying grain and grass, they were all relieved, and Wan Liyun selected more than 300 people from their families, all of whom changed into military uniforms, and carried large knives to transport grain and grass with the captives.

The city of Qian'an was in full swing, and the defenders of Lulongcheng also received the news that Qian'an City was attacked by the Dashun army, and the top general in the city, the second-class guard Shatai, hurriedly summoned the generals in the city, as well as Hu Sanshi and other Ming officials, to discuss support for Qian'an City.

According to the information sent back, Shatai probably knew that the number of Dashun troops attacking Qian'an City was not large, less than 2,000 people, and some of them were homeless people.

He thought that Qian'an City could hold on for a while, but then a scout withdrew and reported to him that Qian'an City had been lost and all the defenders in the city had been destroyed.

Sha Tai jumped up in an instant, and Hu Sanshi ordered, the strong men in the city took the lead, and the second formation was lowered, and he led the Eight Banners Army to suppress the formation, and immediately went out of the city to support Qian'an City.

Hu Sanshi saw that he had taken away the soldiers and horses of the whole city, and cautiously asked him, who would guard Lulong City?

Sha Tai didn't understand Hu Sanshi's careful thoughts, and said to him: "Hu Xiancheng, you lead five hundred troops, stay in Lulong City, and the rest of the horses will go with me." ”

Under the order of the Shatai army, the Qing army drove all the strong men in the city to Qian'an City, these strong men were frightened, they were driven away, and they were given weapons by the troops, all of which were some broken copper and iron equipment, some of the strong men were only given a bamboo gun, and some of the strong men only had a hat.

Shatai shouted loudly in Ming: "Recover and move to Ancheng, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, five buckets of sorghum rice, and if you retreat, you will be punished by the nine clans." ”

The strong men almost exploded, and many strong men were like fools, and before they could recover from it, they were cut off by the Qing cavalry with a big knife, which frightened other strong men to run to Qian'an City.

Leng Ruiron mixed in the strong men, he got two pieces of information from the performance of the Qing army, one is that Qian'an City was captured by Shiying, and the other is that the Qing army is insufficient, otherwise how can these strong men who have just been brought in be cannon fodder?

Hu Sanshi hid in Lulongcheng, watching Shatai go to Qian'an City, he led five hundred miscellaneous soldiers to close the city gate, for fear that the Dashun army would attack the east and west and attack Lulongcheng.

Sha Tai led 600 Qing soldiers, and nearly 2,000 young men slaughtered to Qian'an City, Li Rufeng saw that his scalp was numb in the woods, how could the Qing army have so many soldiers and horses?

Some subordinates reported to him that Shiying had captured Qian'an City, Li Rufeng hurriedly took his subordinates to retreat to Qian'an City, and reported to Ling Jingyang in time that there was information that the Qing army brigade had come to attack Qian'an City.

Li Rufeng and the other cavalry were fast, coming like the wind, rushing to Qian'an City in front of Shatai, under Qian'an City, he met Wan Liyun who was commanding a feigned retreat, Wan Liyun saw him come back, and hurriedly asked him if the Qing army of Lulongcheng had killed him?

Li Rufeng was stunned, how did Wan Liyun know that Jiannu had called?

"Wan Duwei, Jiannu has more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, and they are coming here to kill."

Hearing that there are so many Qing troops, Wan Liyun is also a little panicked, even if Ling Jingyang ambushes in the city, he can't eat so many Qing troops in one go?

"Captain Wandu, although Jiannu has more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, most of them are strong men brought in in the morning, and these people are not useful."

Li Rufeng did not continue to communicate with Wan Liyun, and rushed back to the city with his subordinates, Ling Jingyang was setting up an ambush under the command in the city, there were traps in every alley in the city, and there were two hundred archers, with 5,000 arrows waiting on both sides of the city gate, waiting for the Qing army to enter the city, a salvo, how many Qing troops came and how many died.

There are also fifty guns in the whole army, all of which are assigned to the artillery battalion, and the task of the guns is to beat the generals of the Qing army, because ordinary bows and arrows have almost no effect in front of the shield hand, but the guns are different, no matter how thick the shield is, in front of the guns, it will also be penetrated.

Because the gunpowder was not enough, only 20 guns could be guaranteed to fire a salvo, Wang Chengen selected the best 10 people from the soldiers, each with two guns, after the Qing army entered the city, with two guns to shoot in turn, to ensure the hit rate at the same time, to cause substantial damage to the Qing army.

The preparations in the city were almost underway, and Li Rufeng, also led by the soldiers, came to report to Ling Jingyang, and reported to him that the Qing army in Lulong County was killing here.

Ling Jingyang was a little surprised, it seems that the Qing army of Lulongcheng attaches great importance to Qian'an City, Li Rufeng told Ling Jingyang that the Qing army has more than 2,000 people, but most of them are strong men, and their combat effectiveness is average.

Ling Jingyang frowned, and became a little excited in the next second, there are more than 2,000 people, most of them are still strong men, isn't this sending him new soldiers?

After the Qing army entered the city, Wan Liyun and Li Rufeng's two troops and horses killed the horses and horses, and dispersed the Qing army's troops outside the city, so that they could not support the battle in the city in time.

Li Rufeng took the cavalry battalion to converge with Wanliyun, and after the other soldiers were ambushed, they quietly lurked in the city, waiting for the Qing army to send them to the door.

In the afternoon of the same day, Sha Tai led his troops to the outskirts of Qian'an City, and only the Eight Banners had combat effectiveness, and these strong men were cannon fodder in his opinion.

In Shatai's subconscious, there will be a tragic offensive and defensive battle in Qian'an City, and these strong men may be afraid of death at first, and they will not dare to attack the city wall, nor dare they dare to fight with the Dashun army.

Don't dare to attack the city, just cut it with a knife in the back, after the strong man is cut and killed, he will rush hard, and he will not dare to fight with the Dashun army, that is easier, as long as the strong man has relatives and friends, his companions were killed by the Dashun army, and the people who are still alive will grit their teeth and find revenge on the Dashun army, this is the battlefield, so that the strong man becomes the only way for his own soldiers.

Shatai led the troops to watch on the outskirts of Qian'an City, and a scout reported to him that there were Dashun troops and people in Qian'an City who went out of the city and went to the north, Shatai was not in a hurry, and asked the scouts to spy again, and after a while, the scouts came back and reported to him that the Dashun army and the people went away, and the wolf smoke was billowing in the city of Qian'an City, as if the Dashun army was set on fire in the city before retreating.

Shatai was cunning for many sections, and seeing that it was about to enter the night, he did not rush into Qian'an City, but ordered the whole army to be stationed and go to Qian'an City after dawn.

The Qing army did not enter Qian'an City, so that the soldiers of the stone camp in the city stared wide-eyed, this Qing army is indeed a bit level, Qian'an City is in front of you, this is not coming in, Ling Jingyang also calmed down, and ordered all departments to continue to lurk, he did not believe that the Qing army would give up the acropolis of Qian'an.

If there are ambushes in the city, they camp outside the city, and the ambushes in the city will have to cheer up all night to prevent the Qing army from raiding, if the ambush soldiers can't help it and choose to retreat, he can pursue the whole army and eliminate this Dashun army in one fell swoop.

If there were no ambushes in the city, wait until the next day to enter the city, even if it was an empty city, there would be no losses, and Shatai also ordered the cavalry troops to launch a feint attack tonight, so that the Dashun army in the city would be exhausted.

The Qing army did not choose to attack, which made Leng Rutie in the team feel creepy, this Jiannu is really very scheming, Leng Rutie can't let Shatai's conspiracy succeed.

He didn't know if there were any stone camp soldiers in the city, but he wanted to incite the strong men to flee, if they didn't escape, the strong men would also be used as cannon fodder, and they would be killed by the stone camp soldiers when they entered the city. ”

No one paid attention to him, these strong men were frightened by the big knives of the Qing army, there were dozens of strong men during the day, because they were not running fast enough, they did not keep up with the large army, they were beheaded by the Qing army, and their heads were still tied behind the tail of the horse, so frightened that the strong men wanted to have two more legs, and ran to Qian'an City in one breath.

Cold as iron hot face sticking to the cold buttocks, strong men are squatting on the ground, some strong men light a bonfire, and then lie directly on the ground and fall asleep, cold as iron can't bear to watch these strong men being killed by the stone camp, he has to find a way to let the strong men blow up the camp, more than a thousand strong men are even more than a thousand pigs, as long as they run away, the Qing army will not be able to kill for a while and a half, if the stone camp in the city sees the right time, it can also hit the troops and eat a part of the Qing army.

When he saw the Qing army defending, he had to give up, and Shatai arranged all the Qing soldiers on the periphery of the barracks, one to prevent the Dashun army from raiding, and the other to prevent the strong men from escaping.

Sha Tai walked around the barracks with his waist knife in his hand before sleeping, he looked at Qian'an City with a sneer, and said to the general: "This Ming man carving insect skill is also here to get an axe?" ”

The generals also admired him, no matter whether there was a Dashun army in the city or not, they had to wait until the next morning to enter the city, although Sha Tai ordered to enter the city the next day, but he also had a fatal flaw, which was seen through by Ling Jingyang at a glance.

Because there are only more than 600 soldiers and horses in the headquarters of the Qing army, and there are more than 1,000 young and strong, although the number is large, but the young and strong are here to make up the head, so Shatai does not have the strength to surround Qian'an City, but only stationed heavy troops at the south gate of Qian'an City, and only a few Qing troops are stationed outside the city at other gates.

Ling Jingyang waited in the city for an hour, saw the Qing army camped outside the city, and realized that the Qing army might be aware of the ambush in the city, although he ordered the troops to continue to lurk, but this was not beneficial to the stone camp, he had to find a way to break the Qing army's tactical attempt.

After thinking for a while, he summoned Dong Daqi and asked him to ride a fast horse and rush out, and sent a military order to Li Rufeng and Wan Liyun outside the city to raid Lulongcheng.

Dong Daqi's riding skills are also very good, he quickly rode on the war horse, ready to go out of the city, Ling Jingyang asked him to be careful, before going out of the city, he deliberately wrapped the horse's hooves with strips of cloth, so as not to be heard by the Qing army, and asked the soldiers to quietly open the north gate, Dong Daqi was afraid of the horse's buttocks, and the war horse galloped to the north.

The Qing cavalry outside the city was by no means a waste, they soon saw Dong Daqi galloping, shooting Dong Daqi with a bow and arrow, Dong Daqi lying on horseback, dodging the Qing army's shooting, the war horse rushed forward for two miles, still did not get rid of the pursuers, behind Dong Daqi, at least more than ten Qing cavalry followed.

Dong Daqi is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that he will be killed by the Qing army without conveying the military order, and the war horse under the crotch will also begin to be weak, the Qing army will gradually catch up, and the Qing cavalry is only more than ten meters away from him recently, and the spear of the Qing army is about to get close enough to Dong Daqi, Dong Daqi is forced to fight, and the speed of the battle is even slower.

Suddenly, a rush of horses' hooves sounded, it was the cavalry battalion that came suddenly, more than 100 stone battalions rode horses with spears, passed through the Qing cavalry, after the stone battalion cavalry passed, turned the horse's head, more than a dozen Qing troops were lying on the ground with holes, only a few people were not killed, they quickly retreated to the south, trying to withdraw to the Qing army camp.

In the darkness, another burst of dense arrows shot out, it was Wan Liyun who led his subordinates to cover the position of the Qing army with bows and arrows, and the remaining few Qing cavalry were killed by arrows.

After destroying all the Qing cavalry, Li Rufeng and Wan Liyun came to Dong Daqi and asked him why he was not ambushed in the city and what he was doing out of the city?

Dong Daqi hurriedly sent the two of them the latest military order of Lingdu Lieutenant, and the two soldiers and horses quickly feinted to attack Lulong City, forcing the Qing army under Qian'an City to withdraw.

When the Qing army retreated, the stone camp would launch a surprise attack, and the cavalry battalion and Wan Duwei gave up the feint and immediately withdrew, and the main force flanked the Qing army attacking Qian'an City.

After Li Rufeng and Wan Liyun received the order, they immediately went to Lulong City to kill, because Li Rufeng's department was a cavalry, and his speed was fast, so he could make a surprise attack, but Wan Liyun was basically an infantry army, and the speed kept up, even if he kept up with the cavalry team and rushed to Qian'an City, he did not have the physical strength to participate in the battle, and he did not have the spare strength to kill back and flank the Qing army of the Shatai Department.

Wan Liyun is a very smart person, and Li Rufeng suggested that the cavalry battalion roared and feinted under the city of Lulongcheng, and he led his subordinates to ambush in the middle of Lulongcheng and Qian'an City, and if the Qing army in Qian'an City returned to help, he would harass the Qing army on the way, disperse the Qing army, and concentrate superior forces for the main force to annihilate part of the Qing army.

Li Rufeng made a gesture of agreement with him, and led the cavalry battalion to Lulongcheng to kill, each cavalryman held one or two torches in his hand, and rushed towards Lulongcheng with a roar.

More than a hundred torches stood out in the night sky, and Sha Tai, who was sleeping, suddenly broke in again, startled him to pull out his saber and almost cut his subordinates.

The general told him that there was a group of cavalry of the Dashun army going to Lulongcheng to kill, Shatai suddenly sobered up, and immediately ordered the whole army to set up camp, and then summoned the generals in the army, and the generals decided whether to return to Lulongcheng, or continue to wait here until tomorrow morning, the whole army settled in Qian'an City, and then went back to help Lulongcheng.

The third-class guard Neng Lai was the second-in-command of the Qing army, and he asked him to lead some of the soldiers and horses into Qian'an City, and the other soldiers and horses quickly returned to Lulongcheng, after all, there were a large number of military supplies in Lulongcheng, and these materials also needed to be sent to the front line to support the main force of the regent.

Sha Tai shook his head, he thought that this was a suspicious soldier of the Dashun army, the purpose was to mobilize his troops, when the whole army set off to help, it was also the weakest time in defense, the Dashun army chose to raid at this time, and the Qing army would be killed to the point of blood.
