Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 104: Miyun Town (1)

A group of people ran in the moonlight, Leng Rutie on the road and Ling Jingyang talked about Miyun Town, Miyun Town was originally separated from Jizhen Town, but many years have passed, the most recent time was separated during the Xiaozong period, because of the close distance from Jizhen Town, these years and Jizhen are divided and combined, to this dynasty, and merged into Jizhen again.

Ling Jingyang is also curious, this Miyun Town and Jizhen are divided and combined, where does the garrison still have the heart to resist foreign enemies, and don't they all want to climb up?

The two of them rode on horses, in order to save physical strength, they stopped talking, the whole army remained silent, and traveled thirty kilometers at night, after dawn, Ling Jingyang asked Leng Rutie how far it was to Miyun Town, Leng Rutie looked at the nearby road signs, and replied that Ling Jingyang still had a hundred kilometers.

There were still 100 kilometers, and after hearing this, Ling Jingyang decisively ordered half of the cavalry to turn into infantry on the spot, waiting for the large army here, and their war horses were given to the other half of the cavalry, so that one person could ride two horses.

Leng Rutie nodded again and again on the side, a distance of one hundred kilometers, for the cavalry, is not far, but there must be enough war horses, so that each cavalry has two horses, or three horses, so that the whole cavalry team, without baggage and grain and grass, can raid sixty to one hundred kilometers day and night, this is already the limit distance, keep changing the war horses, the cavalry can't bear it, Ling Jingyang let half of the cavalry stay, it is indeed a comprehensive consideration,

Ling Jingyang led half of the cavalry to eat dry food, and after resting for a while, he continued to gallop in the direction of Miyun Town, and more than 20 people finally arrived at Miyun Town at noon on the third day.

Arrived in Miyun Town, Ling Jingyang did not rush into Miyun Town, but took his subordinates to recuperate outside the military camp in Miyun Town, and after resting for a while, Ling Jingyang asked to enter Miyun Town, Ling Jingyang said to him: "Leng Rutie, wait a minute, what is the situation in the military camp in Miyun Town, we don't know, rush in, if it is full of Qing soldiers, wouldn't it be a head?"

After being rejected, Leng Rutie lay outside the city and looked at the military camp of Miyun Town, there was not a single soldier at the gate of the city, he was also confused, although General Tang took away the main force of Miyun Town, it was impossible to take them all away, why didn't he see a single figure in the military camp?

Ling Jingyang gasped while looking at the barracks, at this time, more than a hundred people suddenly rushed out from the side of the barracks, these people were all dressed as Qing soldiers, with pigtails on the back of their heads, and they escorted a person who looked like a civilian official to the military camp in Miyun Town.

Leng Rutie hurriedly said: "My lord, is it the dog officer of the Qing army?" ”

Ling Jingyang touched his chin, it was a little interesting, the speed of this Qing army was really fast, they ran all the way, and barely arrived in Miyun Town, this Qing army was even faster than them, and began to appoint officials to Miyun Town.

The Qing army entered the military camp in Miyun Town, doesn't it mean that the Qing army replaced the Miyun Ming Army to become the defender of Miyun Town? Leng Rutie asked Ling Jingyang if he wanted to kill him, Ling Jingyang didn't say a word, pulled out his waist knife, and said to the soldiers: "Kill, kill the Qing army officials, and take Miyun Town back." ”

At this time, in the military camp of Miyun Town, there are still more than 1,000 soldiers of the Ming Army, most of these soldiers are old, young, sick and disabled, led by Huang Daozhong, the commander of the Ming Army, Huang Daozhong is like a mirror in his heart, this more than 1,000 soldiers, pulled out can not beat half of the Qing Army Niu Lu, but also because these miscellaneous soldiers are weak in combat, so they stayed to garrison the Miyun Town military camp.

Although they stayed in the barracks, the soldiers who stayed behind were very concerned about the battle situation between the Dashun Army and the Guanning Army, and heard that the Guanning Army led the Qing Army into the Pass to defeat the Dashun Army, and the defenders of Miyun Town were noisy with gongs and drums, and many people thought from the bottom of their hearts that Wu Sangui was taking revenge on Chongzhen by leading the Qing Army into the Pass.

However, there are also a small number of soldiers who serve as Wu Sangui is to lure the wolf into the house, the Qing army has been outside the customs for many years, and it is not easy for the main force to enter the customs and occupy the Shanhaiguan, how can they withdraw it.

The general soldier Huang Daozhong belongs to the latter, in the last night, there were Qing cavalry outside the barracks shouting, the Dashun army was defeated and retreated, has retreated to Baoding Mansion, the Qing Dynasty trusts the general army of Miyun Town to take office tomorrow, please Miyun Town soldiers and birds choose trees and birds, and the virtuous ministers choose the master and do things.

Huang Daozhong heard it clearly in the barracks, it seems that the Dashun army was really defeated, and the barracks exploded, although many people were happy that the Dashun army was defeated, which was a bad breath, but what was the matter with the Qing army's new appointment of the chief soldier of Miyun Town, isn't this the Qing Dynasty replacing Daming and Dashun and becoming the ruler of Miyun Town?

Before, many Ming soldiers who wanted to counterattack the Dashun army, have retreated, they as the Ming border soldiers, have been fighting with the Qing army, at this moment suddenly heard that the Qing army is about to become the ruler of the land of China, the heart is very uncomfortable, although so, but there are still more than half of the soldiers, willing to be loyal to the Qing army's newly appointed Miyun Town commander in tomorrow.

Huang Daozhong also surrendered with Tang Tong after he surrendered to the Dashun army, but in his heart, he did not agree with Dashun, but compared with the Daqing Dynasty, he still preferred Dashun.

In order to unite his subordinates, he convened five generals under his command in the middle of the night last night to sit together and seriously discuss whether to surrender to the Qing army, or to defend the barracks, or to disband on the spot, and go home to be a small common man who has no quarrel with the world.

Although the soldiers of Miyun Town were taken away, there are still a large number of more than 2,000 people, such as civilian households, military households, and artisan households in Miyun Town, and these people live in Tunzi near Miyun Town.

Everyone discussed for one night, three generals were willing to surrender to the Qing army, one asked to go home, and only one wanted to follow the Dashun army, Huang Daozhong did not express his opinion.

After dawn, those who wanted to follow the Dashun army returned to the barracks, gathered soldiers who were unwilling to surrender to the Qing army, and defended the west side of the barracks.

Those who were willing to surrender to the Qing army gathered hundreds of people and prepared to storm the military camp on the west side, leaving the general manager without saying anything, throwing his armor and weapons on the ground, and taking dozens of soldiers who were unwilling to continue to serve as soldiers, and ran to the nearby tunzi to settle down.

After dawn, he led more than 20 personal soldiers to watch on the beacon tower, could it be that the Qing army really wants to send troops into Miyun Town today, shave the hair of the soldiers of Miyun Town, and change their hair from the Ming armed forces to the pawns of the Qing army?

A pro-soldier had sharp eyes and saw more than 100 Qing soldiers escorting an official to the barracks, and hurriedly said to him: "Mr. Qian, the Qing army is here." ”

Huang Daozhong looked over, and sure enough, more than 100 Qing soldiers escorted an official in crepe to the barracks, and in front of the team, there were two Qing soldiers who hammered the military drum vigorously and told the Ming soldiers in the barracks that the Qing army had arrived, and they still did not open the door and surrender?

Huang Daozhong looked up to the sky and sighed, Da Ming is dead, Da Shun is also dead, could it be that Da Qing is the real son of heaven?

The surrender faction in the barracks began to cheer, but only one general led more than 300 soldiers to defend the barracks, even if all of them were killed in battle, they would not be dogs for the Qing army.

The Qing army is still fifty steps away from the city gate, and suddenly a pair of Biao troops came out from the east side of the barracks, this Biao army is dressed very strangely, there are Ming army uniforms, there are also Dashun army uniforms, but there is one thing in common, that is, all the cavalry, although the number is not large, but it is better in momentum.

The Qing army only had a few cavalry, most of them were foot soldiers, looking at the galloping cavalry of the Dashun army, they hurriedly protected the officials, and before they had time to organize a tighter defensive line, they were defeated by the cavalry led by Ling Jingyang in one fell swoop.

Ling Jingyang's riding and archery is still not exquisite, and riding and chopping is even more bullshit, when he is halfway through, he reins in the horse rope, rides on the horse and shoots the Qing army with a bow and arrow, he is very clever in archery, one arrow and one Qing soldier, Huang Daozhong was stunned.

Huang Daozhong is also good at archery, and he is also very good at moving targets, and today is also the first time to see Ling Jingyang's obscene archery skills, which is very practical.

The Ming troops in the barracks heard the shouts and killings outside, and they burst out their weapons one after another, killing them into a ball, and the blood in the barracks flowed into peace, and the battle outside the barracks was nearing the end.

Not long ago, more than 100 Qing soldiers were still military households in Yongping Prefecture, and after the defeat of the Dashun army, they collectively surrendered to the Qing army, among which the elite military households became the vanguard of the Qing army's southward movement, and the remaining military households with average combat effectiveness became the troops stationed by the Qing army in the local area.

They didn't shave their hair for a long time, and they didn't have the ruthlessness of the Eight Banners, nor did they have the combat power of the elite division of the Ming army, so they escorted the local officials appointed by the Qing army to take up their posts at the local level.

This official who was appointed as the chief soldier of Miyun Town was the Ming court in Yutian County, the Dashun army approached the capital, led this group of soldiers to surrender to the Dashun army, and after the Qing army defeated the Dashun army, they rebelled against the Dashun army and became the dog leg of the Qing army.

Dolgon attaches great importance to these Ming court officials to vote, his command Hong Chengchou is first-class, but only one Hong Chengchou is far from enough, he needs more Ming officials to help the Qing consolidate local rule, so he promoted this person to the general army of Miyun Town.

Although he was appointed as the chief soldier of Miyun Town, he did not wear a military uniform, but wore the robe of the Ming Dynasty Zhengwupin Tongzhi Governor, and kept a small braid, which was particularly nondescript, and saw the personal soldiers who escorted him, and was killed by a group of Dashun cavalry to kneel and beg for mercy, most of the Qing soldiers threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender, he quickly took off his clothes and ran back.

Ling Jingyang aimed at this person with a bow and arrow, and shot an arrow, thinking that he could be killed with one blow, but a Qing soldier ran behind him, and the arrow hit the Qing soldier's chest, but failed to shoot this person, Ling Jingyang lifted the bow and arrow again, but was surprised to find that the Qing army official was nowhere to be seen.

Looking again, the Qing army official was shot in the forehead with a bow and arrow, and fell to the ground as a corpse, Ling Jingyang hurriedly looked at the city wall, a Ming general used a bow and arrow on the beacon tower to aim at the Qing soldiers who were still resisting, and Ling Jingyang was different, this Ming general shot a moving live target, and shot several people in a row.

He was very envious that this person had such snakes and snakes, and he also shot the Qing soldiers together, and after the Qing soldiers were charged and killed dozens of people by the stone camp cavalry, the remaining people either surrendered or ran away.

Ling Jingyang asked Wang Hong to cut off the heads of the Qing army officials, and then lined up and shouted loudly towards the barracks: "I am Ling Jingyang, the captain of the right battalion of the Dashun Army, and the Qing thief officials are also headed, why don't you surrender quickly?" ”

The battle in the barracks was extremely fierce, the number of rebels was large, and there were Qing troops outside the camp ribs, cutting the soldiers who were unwilling to surrender and retreating, and they were about to destroy the Ming army who were unwilling to surrender, but suddenly heard the news outside the barracks that the Qing army officials were dead, and Huang Daozhong, who was on the beacon tower, also ordered his own soldiers to beat drums and ordered the whole army to assemble in the school field.

Huang Daozhong roared, the Qing soldiers had been killed, the Dashun army was outside the camp, the rebels suddenly panicked, Huang Daozhong was their Qianzong, and he was also the highest general in Miyun Town, his words represented the military order, some rebel soldiers broke up from the back door of the barracks, and the rebel soldiers were killed in the net, and they actually shot at the beacon tower with bows and arrows, wanting to shoot Huang Daozhong, cut off his head and surrender to the Qing army.

Fortunately, Huang Zhong's own soldiers used shields to block the rebels' attacks. The rebels were in a mess, and the troops loyal to Huang Daozhong doubled their confidence, and once again raised their broadswords to kill the rebels, Ling Jingyang listened to the shouts of killing in the barracks, and did not rush in, but quietly waited for the strife in the barracks to end.

Because of Huang Daozhong's clear attitude, the Qing army outside the barracks was wiped out again, and the rebels soon dispersed, Ling Jingyang asked Wang Hong to carry the head of the Qing army official and throw it at the door of the barracks.

In order not to let Ling Jingyang think that there was an ambush in the city, Huang Daozhong personally came to Ling Jingyang and said respectfully: "The last general is Huang Daozhong, the thousand chief of Miyun Town. ”

Seeing that Ling Jingyang was unmoved, he said again: "The last general has cleaned the house, please go into the city to lecture the brothers." ”

Ling Jingyang looked at Huang Daozhong, with a middle-aged face, and said: "Mr. Huang Qian, Captain Bendu heard that there were soldiers fighting in the city, is there a rebel army who wants to surrender to the Qing army?" ”

Huang Daozhong nodded and replied to Ling Jingyang, there were indeed some rebels in the barracks who wanted to surrender to the Qing army, but fortunately, the lieutenant arrived in time to eliminate the Qing soldiers outside the barracks, which made the rebels in the city panic, and now the rebels have been defeated.

The city was quiet, there was no ambush, Ling Jingyang and Huang Daozhong said, tomorrow evening there is a Dashun army troops, will arrive in Miyun Town, he came to Miyun Town is to lead the army, Huang Daozhong heard that there are still large troops to come to Miyun Town, a burst of joy in his heart, and hurriedly said that although Miyun Town is deserted, it can still resist the attack of the Qing army, and take Ling Du Lieutenant to lead the soldiers to defend Miyun Town.

Ling Jingyang is a captain, higher in rank than Huang Daozhong, Huang Daozhong is loyal, he should not let take over the military command of Miyun Town, but Ling Jingyang does not want to defend the enclave of Miyun Town, and ordered the whole army to assemble outside the city, Huang Daozhong led a general, and more than 200 soldiers, sparsely gathered outside the city.

Hundreds of soldiers, all with yellow faces and thin muscles, look malnourished at a glance, no wonder they stayed in Miyun Town, Ling Jingyang and all the soldiers of the Ming Army introduced themselves, he was the captain of the right battalion of the Dashun Army, he was ordered to go north to Shanxi, passing by Miyun Town, and wanted to follow the soldiers who went to Shanxi together, they could go together, and those who did not want to go to Shanxi could stay, but the soldiers who stayed were likely to be slaughtered by the Qing army in retaliation.
