Volume 1 Chapter 94: Cavalry Battalion (2)
The Shiying troops marched towards the boundary collar, and Li Roe Deer also withdrew to Lulongcheng, Tunqi spent the night in Lulongcheng tonight, preparing to return to Shanhaiguan the next day, but saw that Li Roe Deer had only been working for a day, so he withdrew in disgrace.
Li Roe deer lost his troops and did not dare to look at Tunqi, and Tunqi asked him what was going on, he lost more than half of the cavalry in one day, which was the elite force in the Tunqi army.
He was waiting for Li Roe Deer to give him a reason not to die, Li Roe Deer knelt on the ground and told him that he had found the traces of the Dashun army in Funingwei, but due to the lack of troops, he was ambushed by the Dashun army in Funingwei.
Tun Qi was furious and scolded Li Roe Deer: "So you gave most of Lao Tzu's cavalry to the Dashun army?" ”
Li Roe Deer was busy with him and said that although the cavalry had losses, it also defeated the cavalry of the Dashun army, making the cavalry of the Dashun army incapacitated, and he cautiously suggested to Tun Qi that he would raise troops in the starry night tonight, and maybe he could pursue and kill this disgusting Dashun army in Funingwei.
Tun Qi's eyes purred, although Li Roe Deer lost most of the cavalry, but he was able to find the Dashun army within a day, and he could also defeat the Dashun army's cavalry troops from the Dashun army's ambush, which can be regarded as a fierce general, so he was giving him a chance to continue to pursue the Dashun army.
He said to Li Li: "Li Roe deer, you are loyal and brave, Ben Beizi will give you another chance, tonight lead 2,000 troops to pursue the Dashun army, if you don't bring back the head of this Dashun thief soldier this time, you yourself will bring your head back to see Ben Beizi." ”
Li Roe Deer swore with his life, not to wipe out the Dashun army, swore not to be a man, Tun Qi waved his hand, let him get out quickly, Li Roe Deer stood up, came to the outside of the city, after a while, two thousand Qing soldiers in the city came to the outside of the city from the city gate, obeyed Li Lei's command, and went to Funingwei to pursue the Dashun army.
Li Roe deer's eyes flashed with evil light, he was dissatisfied with his status in the Qing army, who made him a Ming man, only by constantly attacking cities for the Qing army and exterminating the thief army could he be further reused.
Today in Funing Wei lost troops, Tunqi did not kill him, still let him lead the army to pursue the Dashun army, Li Roe heart is full of gratitude, he not only wants to be loyal to Tunqi, loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but also to eliminate this Dashun army, a shame.
The Qing army was assembled outside the city, Li Roe Deer disregarded the physical fatigue, and took the Qing army to Funingwei overnight to kill, he only hoped that the Dashun army would spend the night in Funingwei tonight, so that he could take revenge happily, two thousand Qing soldiers, overnight attack, the next day at dawn to kill Funingwei, Funingwei was already an empty city, he was afraid that the Dashun army was ambushed in the city again, and ordered all departments to prepare for the siege.
Busy one morning, the Qing army launched an attack on Funingwei, the Dashun army in the city did not move at all, Li Roe Deer ordered the forward to enter the city, five hundred forwards broke into the city, the city was empty, the Dashun army not only withdrew last night, but also took away all the materials that can be used in the city, even if it is the door panel, windows and other things that can be removed, all of them were carried away by the Dashun army and civilians.
Li Roe Deer got an empty city, at this time he was also a little confused, the Dashun army was not in Funingwei, was it to Shanhaiguan, or to go south to the capital, or to go to other places?
Although the main force of the Qing army defeated the main force of the Dashun army in Shanhaiguan and Yongping Mansion and occupied the entire Yongping Mansion, there were many roads to the capital, and the Qing army did not have the ability to block Yongping Mansion.
At this time, he still had hundreds of cavalry, and he could still roam around the territory of Yongping Mansion, but Li Roe Deer was desperate, thinking that the Dashun army would choose to go south to the capital and join the main force of the Dashun army, so he led the troops to the south of Funingwei to kill, and the Dashun army at the mouth of the north upper boundary ridge was far from the south.
Although Li Roe Deer went to the south, he still let the cavalry wander to Shanhaiguan and the north, if this group of Dashun troops did not know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, and attacked Shanhaiguan, he could also gallop to the aid of Shanhaiguan and obtain the record of protecting Shanhaiguan from being attacked by the Dashun army.
When the Qing army was about to enter Luan County one day south, it suddenly received urgent information that it was going to the north to obtain cavalry and send it back.
Li Roe Deer just arrived in Luan County, the whole army of soldiers and horses are sleepy, angry and smashed his head, it was his judgment error, thought that the Dashun army would go south to the capital, but in the end it was the north of the upper boundary Lingkou, he ordered the troops to go back, the soldiers complained, vented their dissatisfaction with Li Roe deer, Li Roe pulled out the waist knife, around the barracks, the Qing army soldiers did not dare to complain, honestly carried weapons north to Funingwei.
Li Roe Deer has been marching and fighting for many years, and he is not a mediocre talent, after getting the Dashun army to go north to the Jielingkou, he was thinking, what is this Dashun army doing in Jielingkou, the north of Jielingkou is a desolate area, and further north is the territory of the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia, and the Jielingkou is to sneak attack the rear of the Qing Dynasty?
He doesn't think so, this Dashun army does not have many soldiers and horses, and it does not have enough strength to sneak attack the important cities in the rear of the Qing Dynasty, even if it successfully attacks a certain city, it can't make much waves, so why do these Dashun troops still go to Jielingkou?
Li Roe deer asked his subordinates to pounce on the map, and he saw the location of the boundary ridge mouth on the map, to the east is outside the pass, to the north is also outside the pass, and to the west - to the west is the Great Wall.
Li Roe deer looked to the west again, and suddenly saw Santun Camp, Jizhen, these two places with the collapse of the Ming army, have long been abandoned, the Qing army does not pay attention to these two places, the Dashun army retreated along the Great Wall to Jizhen, or Santun Camp, isn't it out of the encirclement of the Qing army?
Li Roe Deer was as excited as if he had found a treasure, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to stop advancing, camp on the spot and rest, and wait for dawn after dawn, the whole army killed Jizhen, and waited for the Dashun army to travel a long distance, and finally arrived at Jizhen, but was fatally hit by the Qing army, all annihilated, thinking of this, Li Roe Deer couldn't suppress his wild laughter, he was simply pinching his fingers, and the decisive victory was thousands of miles away.
At dawn the next day, Li Roe Deer brought supplies, and the whole army rushed to Jizhen, at this time Ling Jingyang also led the Shiying soldiers and civilians to advance in the direction of the Jielingkou, after a day and a night of trekking, the Shiying soldiers and civilians finally arrived at the Jielingkou, rested at the Jielingkou for a night, and the next day the whole army rushed west to the Santun camp.
Ling Jingyang and other generals thought that they had thrown off the Qing army's pursuers, but Zhu Youzhen didn't think so, his suspicious personality broke out again, when the whole army was camping, he reported the recent work situation to Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang asked him if he had found any generals who had defection tendencies recently, Zhu Youzhen shook his head, and Ling Jingyang reported that the whole army as a whole was very good, and no one was willing to leave the army for the time being, even if it was the family members of the Guan Ning army such as Zhao Dang before, they were also willing to go with the army at this time.
Ling Jingyang was a little curious, what did Zhu Youzhen come to report to him today, Zhu Youzhen looked at Ling Jingyang's eyes, and said softly: "Captain Lingdu, can our army really get rid of the Qing army if we go to Santun Camp?" ”
Ling Jingyang felt that he had already thrown off the Qing army, and it was impossible for Zhu Youzhen to tell him that the Qing army would not have thought that they would choose the longest road to retreat to Shuntianfu, and then retreat from Shuntianfu to Shanxi.
Zhu Youzhen did not approve of Ling Jingyang's strategy, and Ling Jingyang said that the Qing army was not so stupid, they were in Yongping Mansion these days, they didn't know anything about the outside world, and they didn't know how the battle between the Dashun army and the Qing army was going, if the Qing army captured the entire territory of Shuntianfu, even if their army retreated to Santun Camp, it would not make much sense, and it would cause the whole army to saddle up and be tired and defeated by the Qing army in one fell swoop.
Ling Jingyang is sometimes very domineering, but he can also listen to the opinions of others, he and Zhu Youzhen said: "Leng Pang, we are in the encirclement of the Qing army, only by moving forward bravely, can we have a glimmer of hope to live, if I tell the soldiers that we did not get rid of the Qing army, this team will disperse before it reaches the Santun camp, do you know?" ”
Zhu Youzhen is straightforward, and he doesn't understand why Ling Jingyang deceived the soldiers and civilians of Shiying, Ling Jingyang said to him meaningfully, people sometimes need to see the hope of living, so that they have the motivation to struggle, just like now, he set a tone for the whole army, and the army has thrown off the Qing army at the north upper boundary ridge.
When the soldiers and civilians of Shiying heard the news of getting rid of the Qing army, they were not full of interest, and they were looking forward to rushing to Santun Camp as soon as possible, and when they arrived at Santun Camp, they were giving them a better expectation, that is, to go to Shanxi, Shanxi has food, shelter, clothing, and thousands of soldiers and civilians will once again burst out of enthusiasm and rush towards Shanxi.
After going to Shanxi, he occupied a piece of land in the name of the right battalion, Zhu Youzhen heard that he was going to Shanxi, and couldn't help but think of another person, Jiang Huang, the general soldier of Datong, that is, he led the troops to surrender Li Zicheng, so that Li Zicheng could cover the power from Shaanxi to Shanxi, and also caused the door of Shuntianfu to be wide open.
His face turned red with anger, and he said to Ling Jingyang: "When we go to Shanxi, are we going to slaughter Jiang Jiu's traitor?" ”
"How can you have that strength? But there is one thing you can rest assured, when we go to Shanxi, we are really fighting for territory with Jiang Xuan. ”
Zhu Youzhen asked Ling Jingyang, then do you want to kill Jiang Jiu?
Ling Jingyang looked at Zhu Youzhen, who was in his early thirties, still immature, and said to Zhu Youzhen: "Whether you kill Jiang Huang or not, it's all your selfish motives, kill Jiang Jiu, will his subordinates surrender to the Qing army?" ”
Zhu Youzhen couldn't swallow Jiang Jing's betrayal, but when he thought that as long as he went to Shanxi, he would have a conflict with Jiang Jing, and there was always a chance to kill Jiang Jing, so he calmed down and waited for Shiying to enter Shanxi, he retired to Ling Jingyang, and asked Ling Jingyang for some people before leaving, Ling Jingyang was very vigilant, what did Zhu Youzhen do?
Zhu Youzhen just said that he alone was not enough for internal affairs and needed more people to help, Ling Jingyang did not agree to increase the manpower for Zhu Youzhen, but just said that he went to Shanxi, laid down a piece of land, and came to discuss this matter.
Zhu Youzhen ate a closed-door soup and went back stupidly, Ling Jingyang wanted to use Zhu Youzhen, but he also had to prevent Zhu Youzhen from occupying the dove's nest, Wang Chengen and Zhang Luofu were Zhu Youzhen's hardcore supporters in the stone camp, of which Zhang Luofu led a group of soldiers and horses, and although Wang Chengen was a general of the artillery battalion without artillery, he also had a force.
Ling Jingyang has a degree in his heart, and it is the best balance to prevent the support for Zhu Youzhen's forces from growing further and maintaining the current state.
The army continued to advance westward, Wang Hong ordered half of the cavalry battalion to open the way in front, Li Rufeng led twenty cavalry behind his army to break off, although there was no Qing army to pursue, but Li Rufeng was not complacent.
The cavalry battalion was defeated, and he was very faceless as the bannerman, although he was not trained by himself, but after all, he was the leader of the cavalry battalion, and after the defeat, he put away his arrogant personality and led his subordinates to walk slowly behind the army.
In order to better complete the task of breaking off, Li Rufeng did not retreat to Jielingkou with the large army, but took his subordinates to flash to the woods on the side of the road to Jielingkou, and then the whole army remained silent, sitting quietly in the woods, waiting to see if there were any Qing army scouts passing by.
After watching in the forest for a day and a night, not a single Qing army scout had ever passed here, Li Rufeng stood up and patted the leaves on his body, gave up here to continue to watch the Qing army scouts, and led his subordinates to catch up with the large army.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the road, as if someone was riding a horse running here.
Li Rufeng was lying on the ground quickly, staring at the empty road, between ten breaths, three fast horses galloped from the road, and the pigtails behind the heads of the three people were very conspicuous, these three people were reprimanded by the Qing army, Li Rufeng gasped, the Qing army was really ghostly, the stone camp retreated to the boundary collar, I thought I would get rid of the pursuers, but the Qing army still pursued to the death.
The subordinates asked to kill these three Qing army scouts in time, Li Rufeng waved his hand, killing these three Qing army scouts at this time would only make the stone camp more passive, and while speaking, there were fifty or sixty Qing army cavalry following the footprints of the cavalry in front of them and running towards the boundary neckline.
The number of cavalry of the Qing army was so large that Li Rufeng was forced to bypass the main road, and led his subordinates to take the small road from the mountains and forests to catch up with the large army, the terrain of the small road was rugged, and the speed of the group was slow, and when Li Rufeng arrived at the boundary collar, Ling Jingyang had already set off a day ago, Li Rufeng could no longer care that the road would be discovered by the Qing army scouts, and he ran all the way with his subordinates, and finally caught up with the large army at a distance of 90 kilometers from the Santun camp.
At this time, it has been three days since Ling Jingyang went to Santun Camp from the Jieling Pass, and Shi Ying has walked 90 kilometers in these three days, and it is planned that there are still two days to reach Santun Camp.
Ling Jingyang is also waiting for news from the guard force these days, after Li Rufeng came back, he asked to see Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang had already been waiting for him in the barracks, after the two met, Ling Jingyang looked at Li Rufeng's sunken eye sockets, knowing that he was working hard these days, and asked Li Rufeng to sit down and report the information.
Li Rufeng drank water and listened to Jingyang's report, he found the Qing cavalry in the direction of the boundary collar, and the Qing cavalry already knew that the stone camp was in the boundary collar and was advancing west along the Great Wall.
Ling Jingyang's eyes flashed with a trace of pain, his hard-working tactics were easily seen through by the Qing army, at this time, the Qing army should be setting up an ambush in a certain place, waiting for the soldiers and civilians of Shiying to send them to death.
