Volume 1 Chapter 79: The East Strikes the West (2)

Shatai thought that Noh Rai could buy him time to retreat, but Noh Rai killed his own soldiers and withdrew from the other side of the battlefield with his men.

Ling Jingyang was able to lead the main force of the stone camp to pursue Shatai with all his strength, and Ling Jingyang gave orders to the officers and soldiers of the stone camp to resolutely eat the main force of the Qing army and reduce casualties in order to capture Lulongcheng.

Sha Tai led his subordinates to flee in a hurry, and the stone camp chased after him, but he was always a little close, at this time the sky was dawning, the sun rose, and the sun was sprinkled on the earth, Ling Jingyang could see the tail of the Qing army, but he could not catch up.

Shiying and the Qing army's physical strength has reached the limit, seeing that the Qing army is about to withdraw to Lulongcheng, Lao Mantou and Qin Lie and other soldiers are eager to fly over, but Ling Jingyang is not in a hurry, confident, it won't take long for Wan Liyun and Li Rufeng to shine on the stage.

The Qing army has withdrawn to the outskirts of the northern city of Lulong City, and if you work harder, you can rush back into the city, Sha Tai showed a lewd smile, and joked that the Dashun army was nothing more than that.

The soldiers of the Qing army who ran in front shouted loudly to open the city gate, but the city gate had not yet been opened, a dense rain of arrows shot from one side, and the Qing army that was rushing was hit in the head, like a carp beating up, and a group of Qing soldiers after being hit by the arrow lay down on the ground and wailed.

Some Qing generals shouted a surprise attack, leading some Qing soldiers to rush up to fight, Shatai ruthlessly abandoned his wounded subordinates, and continued to retreat with those who could still move.

The defenders on the city wall of Lulong City, under the order of Hu Sanshi, the county Cheng closed the city gate, and one of them asked to go out of the city to answer, but was ordered by Hu Sanshi to push it out and behead, and then there were words to open the door to answer the people, and the head was shown to the public.

Hu Sanshi was very undisciplined, watching Shatai and a group of remnants of the army defeated and being chased by the Dashun army, he just didn't open the city gate, waited for the Dashun army to call, surrendered the Dashun army again, and got rid of the grass on the wall, whoever has the most power will follow whom.

Shatai watched the city gate closed and scolded Hu Sanshi for being despicable, but he still had to rush to the vicinity of the city gate, at least he could fight against the water, so as not to be crushed in the pursuit of the Dashun army.

The Dashun army and the Qing army were only 100 meters away, and Sha Tai was also determined to fight to the death, looking at the advancing Dashun army, raising his knife and his subordinates roaring, trying to mobilize the blood of his subordinates.

At this time, a cavalry of the Dashun army suddenly appeared, like a meteor smashed into the Qing army, Shatai couldn't believe it, the cavalry of the Dashun army rampaged in his ranks, and his subordinates either crashed into the air, or were hacked to death by the cavalry, and stabbed to death.

This time back and forth, Ling Jingyang led the main force of the stone battalion to kill, and strangled the Qing army with the cavalry battalion.

The Qing army ran all night, was exhausted, although there was a short rest near the city gate, but was assaulted by the cavalry battalion, the fighting enthusiasm that had just been raised, was ruthlessly extinguished by the cavalry sabers, the stone battalion soldiers killed the Qing army under Lulong City, and the angry Shatai scolded Hu Sanshi villain.

Hu Sanshi watched the blood of the Qing army being killed in the city, and Sha Tai led his own soldiers to resist stubbornly, and was divided and surrounded and killed by Qin Lie and other Guanning army soldiers.

Sha Tai watched the soldiers of the Dashun army approaching with a spear array, he and his subordinates were powerless under the attack of the spear array, until they were stabbed to death by the soldiers of the Dashun army with a spear, Sha Tai's chest was pierced by a spear, and he scolded Hu Sanshi before he died, and also scolded himself for entering Qian'an City earlier, even if there was an ambush by the Dashun army in Qian'an City, he would not be completely annihilated.

The Qing army outside the city was completely wiped out, Hu Sanshi convened the generals in the city, and decided to open the city gate to surrender to the Dashun army, he thought that Lu Longcheng had the final say, but no one echoed him, most of the surrendered troops in the city surrendered more than twice, the most recent surrender was from the Dashun surrender to the Qing Dynasty, this surrendered back, and the Dashun army did not agree!

Hu Sanshi saw that no one paid attention to him, ran to the city gate alone, opened the city gate with great effort, and welcomed the Dashun army into the city, Ling Jingyang looked at the city gate that opened slowly, he obviously overestimated the discipline of the defenders, and he was not worried about an ambush in the city, so he led the stone battalion soldiers to break into the city.

Hundreds of defenders in the city saw that the city gate was opened, and they could not defeat the Dashun army, so they had to surrender, and the stone camp entered the city, disarmed all the defenders, and then rushed to the school grounds, some of the defenders thought they were going to be slaughtered, and deliberately walked slowly, but they were whipped with a horsewhip.

At a glance, it turned out to be Hu Sanshi, he opened the city gate to surrender to the Dashun army, led the Dashun army into the city, and avoided a tragic siege battle, Ling Jingyang generously appointed him as the garrison of Lulong City, which made Hu Sanshi beautiful, and cut off his braids in front of everyone.

Ling Jingyang also intimately matched him with 20 soldiers, Hu Sanshi was loyal to Ling Jingyang, and the soldiers who were unwilling to go to the school field were whipped by him, and those who walked slowly were also beaten, and those who cut braids were not fast enough, and they were punched and kicked.

The whole army of Shiying was stationed in Lulongcheng, Ling Jingyang completed the strategic goal, he was not carried away by the victory, and the Lulongcheng was not to cut off the back road of the Qing army, but to obtain supplies in Lulongcheng.

Shiying obtained grain and grass in Qian'an City for fifteen days, enough for the army to arrive in Shanxi, with a large number of young and strong enlistment, grain and grass became not enough to eat, Ling Jingyang has not asked Hu Sanshi if there is grain and grass in the city?

Hu Sanshi ran over with a fart, Xizizi and Ling Jingyang congratulated, there was a large amount of grain and grass in the city, and there was a whole half of the warehouse of ordnance.

Ling Jingyang hurriedly asked Hu Sanshi to take him to see, Hu Sanshi led Ling Jingyang and other stone camp generals to the warehouse in the city, the warehouse defenders were squatting on the ground to cut braids, seeing Ling Jingyang and others coming, they hurriedly opened the warehouse door, and Hu Sanshi bent down to welcome everyone into the warehouse.

After entering the warehouse, everyone was amazed, the warehouse was full of grain and grass, countless armor, firearms, swords, swords, sticks, and a brand-new artillery, as well as twenty large boxes, Ling Jingyang asked Hu Sanshi to open the box, Hu Sanshi opened one of the boxes, which was full of white silver, and the other alleys were also full of silver, and the entire warehouse had more than 8,000 taels of silver.

With so much silver, Ling Jingyang can use his strength to his heart's content, he ordered the old steamed bun to stay here, and let the cavalry go to Qian'an City, so that the people and horses in Qian'an City rushed to Lulongcheng to understand, don't scatter the troops and be broken by the Qing army.

After all the soldiers and horses assembled in the parade ground, Ling Jingyang ordered the whole army, and the young man was willing to join the Dashun army, with a monthly military salary of one or two silver, three meals were full, and many soldiers stared wide-eyed, why did they have three meals?

Ling Jingyang did not wait for the soldiers to be immersed in the three meals, and announced a shocking news to the officers and men of the whole army, as long as the soldiers of the stone camp were paid, the military salaries for April, May and June would be issued from today.

The parade field fell into a dead silence, and then burst out like a thunderous roar, many young people also followed the soldiers to carnival together, Ling Jingyang in Lulongcheng The whole army was very smooth, and he got more than 700 recruits, and some of the defenders of Lulongcheng were also willing to follow the stone camp, unwilling to follow the defenders of the stone camp, Ling Jingyang did not disband them, but took them away together, provided labor for the stone camp on the road, and waited until Shanxi, and then let these people go home.

After an afternoon of the whole army, the stone battalion once again expanded the soldiers and horses, Ling Jingyang was still the captain, five subordinates held the flag, the cavalry battalion was expanded to 210 people, war horses, camel horses 260 people, the remaining three were each in charge of the banner of 200 soldiers, the artillery battalion was expanded by 150 people, Fang Xiaoyan was promoted to the head of the artillery battalion department, and led 100 soldiers to protect the artillery battalion from attack.

Lao Mantou and Dong Daqi each led two hundred, and continued to serve as Ling Jingyang's direct troops, Wan Liyun and Li Daoli also symbolically expanded to one hundred soldiers, giving Wan Liyun face, because Li Daoli went to Shanxi, not in the army, his subordinates were temporarily led by Lao Mantou.

Ling Jingyang appointed Hu Sanshi as the logistics officer, and led the family members of the Guanning army and the people of Lulongcheng who were willing to go to Shanxi as the logistics baggage battalion, using ox carts, horse-drawn carts, and wheelbarrows to deliver grain and grass to Shi Gong.

In the evening, Ling Jingyang ordered all units to go to the warehouse to change their clothes, change into the Qing army's sophisticated weapons and armor, and after dinner, Ling Jingyang led the large army to withdraw from Lulong City.

Hearing that the large army was going to withdraw, Hu Sanshi was depressed, he was not willing to travel long distances to Shanxi, at first he thought that Shiying captured Qian'an, Lulong, was the prelude to the counterattack of the Dashun army.

But in the end, it was true that the Dashun army did not attack the division, not only did the main force of the Dashun army not fight back, but also dragged a bunch of things to Shanxi, he regretted not opening the city gate, let Shatai return to the city to defend the city, he was appointed as a logistics officer, there were twenty soldiers to follow him, even if he wanted to stay, the back twenty soldiers would not agree.

Seeing that the cavalry battalion had already set off, Hu Sanshi looked around, hoping to find an opportunity to slip away, and there were soldiers nearby to escort him, so he had to keep his head down and go together.

After the expansion of the stone battalion, there were nearly 2,000 soldiers, hundreds of prisoners and more than 1,000 civilians, and the speed of such a huge mixed army and civilian team was not fast.

Leng Rutie was among the soldiers, glaring at Hu Sanshi with cold eyes, he touched his bare head again, and vowed to kill this person in Ling Chi.

Before the retreat, the soldiers and civilians of the stone camp almost emptied Lulongcheng, especially the logistics battalion, there was not only grain and grass on the car, but also all kinds of use, wear, and some people also used wheelbarrows to push the door panel, after Ling Jingyang saw it, he was a little curious, let the old steamed bun go over to see, how did these people retreat with the door panel?

Unexpectedly, Dong Daqi was on the side, embarrassed to touch his head and listen to Jingyang's compensation, it was he who asked these people to take part of the door panels to Shanxi.

The old steamed bun showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, and looked at Dong Daqi with some dissatisfaction, and said sarcastically to him: "Dong Daqi, this door panel is generally lying dead, you let them push dozens of door panels to Shanxi, with ill intentions?" ”

Choked by the old steamed bun, Dong Daqi was a little unhappy, but he still politely said to the old steamed bun: "Brother steamed bun, when we attacked Qian'an City, we rushed to the city gate with the bow and arrow of the Qing army at the city gate, how many brothers were shot dead and wounded?" ”

The old steamed bun suddenly felt a little guilty on his face, when he attacked Qian'an City, it was he and Dong Daqi who attacked the city gate, and they had to hit the city gate, and they had to resist the Qing army to throw down stones, bows and arrows, etc., although the city gate was knocked open, the two soldiers and horses lost more than half.

Dong Daqi took his subordinates to unload the door panels of some of the people's homes in the city and took them to Shanxi, that is, there was a siege battle on the way to Shanxi, and these door panels could provide cover for the attacking troops.

The old steamed bun stopped talking in shame, and went out of the city with his subordinates, and the soldiers and civilians of Shiying lined up in a long line formation, walking in the direction of Qian'an City, planning to spend the night in Qian'an City, and continue to rush to Santun Camp the next day.

The cavalry battalion opened the way in front, Li Rufeng admired Ling Jingyang and Leng Rutie more and more, and he would learn more from Du Wei and Leng Zhangqi in the future, the cavalry battalion once again arrived near Qian'an City, ready to enter the city, but saw Zhao Dang and dozens of other Guanning army family members under the city.

Li Rufeng was a little curious, these Guan Ningjun family members were not reluctant to go to Shanxi, and when the captain arrived in Qian'an City, he let them leave, how could they appear here?
