Volume 2 Troubled Times Chapter 119: Leaks (3)
Hong Demao was also resting in the village, and he couldn't take care of himself when he was beaten by the Dashun army today, but all of this was caused by Li Li, if he didn't vent his anger and kill the team of armored people, how could he be defeated by the Dashun army, which had fewer people?
Li Roe Deer endured the nausea, and said to his subordinates: "Today's battle, it is my Li Mou's poor command, you don't have to lose confidence, as long as you can destroy this group of Dashun army, the girls inside, and everything that can be snatched, you will snatch them all, this general is a word, if there is a lie, the sky will be thundered." ”
After speaking, none of the soldiers echoed him, so he had to silently lead his subordinates and walk to the village, trying to find a place to rest, and finally found a decent house, let his subordinates stand guard outside, and walk to the room alone.
Suddenly, an arrow flew out of an abandoned thatched hut in the village and shot at Li Deer's chest, Li Roe Deer looked at the arrow on his chest, his eyes became blurred, which grandson was yin him, he tried to open his eyes, trying to see who shot him, but he never waited for the sneak attacker to appear, until his head was cut off by a Qianzong, Hong Demao came out of the room slowly, looked at Li Demao's headless corpse, and then looked at Li Demao's headless head, Hong Demao waved his hand in disgust, and Qian Zong hurriedly threw Li Deer's head out, The corpse was also dug up and buried by the soldiers.
Hong Demao and his subordinates said, "Where did General Li go?" ”
Mr. Qian deliberately replied to him in astonishment: "Garrison, General Li unfortunately died in Yanqingwei,"
"Oh, General Li is really a pity, he died under the knife of the Dashun thief like this, all the soldiers, we will avenge General Li."
Hong Demao raised a big knife, with an angry face, dozens of Qing soldiers shouted with him, avenging General Li, Hong Demao was not worried that these subordinates would betray him, these subordinates were all his henchmen, and took his subordinates to the outside of the village, looking at the Qing soldiers who followed Li Roe De to withdraw, Hong Demao cleared his throat and said: "Brothers, General Li is resting inside, and you will go with me to fight the autumn wind." ”
The Qing soldiers are a group of miscellaneous soldiers without faith, I heard that they could go to fight the autumn wind, they laughed one by one, without the slightest defeat and decadence and the life and death of Li Roe, and followed Hong De to the nearby villages, Hong De Mao continued to gather stragglers on the road, and even gathered more than 2,000 people, obviously the Dashun army did not achieve the war of annihilation.
At this time in Yanqingwei, the Shiying army and civilians captured hundreds of Qing soldiers, although these Qing soldiers wore the Qing army's standard military uniform, as well as the Qing army flag, but they were all Ming people, after being captured, one by one squatted on the ground, they were not worried about being slaughtered by the Dashun army, it was a big deal to follow the Dashun army to fight the Qing army, as for the festival, I didn't understand what it was.
After the battle, Wan Liyun was particularly interested in the captives, he wanted to understand these Qing soldiers, as well as why Jin Dashou and others were so undisciplined, he asked to give him all these captives, Ling Jingyang was not stingy, so that Wan Liyun would not be messed up by these captives, Wan Liyun smiled, and led his subordinates to toss the captives and Jin Dashou.
Mo Yiyun came to Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang promised Mo Yiyun that after defeating the Qing army, he would let him leave, Mo Yiyun and his subordinates looked at Ling Jingyang expectantly, and asked Ling Jingyang to let him go, Ling Jingyang did what he said, and asked the old steamed bun to give Mo Yiyun and others a thousand taels of silver, as well as dozens of days of dry food, so that Mo Yiyun could take them on the road to eat.
Mo Yiyun thanked him for his kindness, left with silver and dry food, Ling Jingyang saw him leave, and thought of Zhu Youzhen's leakage, Ling Jingyang deliberately looked at Zhu Youzhen's location, Zhu Youzhen was still a low-level officer in the artillery battalion, mixed with other soldiers, and there was no leakage at all.
Ling Jingyang looked at Wang Chengen again, Wang Chengen as the artillery battalion in charge of the flag, is already a senior general in the stone battalion, Ling Jingyang has no clue, but there is one thing he has to be firm, and so on after arriving in Xuanfu Town, Wang Chengen, the artillery battalion flag must be held by a more suitable person, not only to protect Wang Chengen, but also to improve the combat effectiveness of the artillery battalion, in every battle, the artillery battalion is almost reduced to a spectator, in the near future and the Qing army in the campaign, will be engaged with the Qing army Hongyi artillery, the artillery battalion has this strength and ability, will be ruthlessly ravaged by the Qing artillery.
I don't know when, Zhang Luofu ran over, he was dedicated to Daming, towards Zhu Youzhen, very worried that the high-level of the Dashun army would get this top-secret information, and would search the mountains and seas in various armies, the stone camp belonged to the right battalion of the Dashun army, if the Dashun army carried out the military order in the right camp, wouldn't it be very dangerous for Your Majesty?
Ling Jingyang smiled, the Dashun army was chased and beaten by the Qing army, how could there be that idle time, to find an emperor who had no soldiers, no food and no silver, even if Zhu Youzhen raised the banner, the Qing army would destroy Zhu Youzhen and the army he gathered as soon as possible.
Zhang Luofu wanted to transfer Zhu Youzhen to his command as the head of the department at first, but when he heard Ling Jingyang say this, he rode back to the army and left Ling Jingyang aside, Ling Jingyang was also generous, and he didn't look at Zhang Luofu with colored glasses because Zhang Luofu was rude, he smiled, asked his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, and the whole army advanced to Xuanfu Town.
......
Wang Hong led half of the cavalry battalion soldiers to Yanqing Prefecture, Yanqing Prefecture to the north is the territory of Xuanfu Town, where a small number of stragglers began to fight, Wang Hong was also surprised, there was no battle here, how could there be so many routs?
The cavalry battalion arrived at the Chang'an Guard, which is the southernmost acropolis of Xuanfu Town, there is no garrison in the city, it should have been abandoned, and then it is the core area of Xuanfu Town, Wang Hong did not dare to move forward, let his subordinates rush back and report to Li Rufeng, there is no Qing army in Yanqing Prefecture, only a small number of stragglers, and the large army can quickly pass through Yanqing Prefecture and arrive at the Chang'an Guard Station of Xuanfu Town.
After Li Rufeng got the information, he immediately transferred it to Ling Jingyang, who was not sure whether the defenders of Xuanfu Town had completely fallen to the Qing army, but it was certain that if he did not go to Xuanfu Town, these defenders would definitely surrender to the Qing army, and soon after they were reorganized into green battalions by Dolgon, under the leadership of Azig, they attacked the Dashun army in Shanxi and Henan, and made great contributions to the Qing army's siege.
Ling Jingyang ordered the whole army to maintain the speed of advance, because in the battle to defeat Li Li, a large number of war horses were captured, all of which were replenished to the cavalry battalion, and the cavalry battalion was restored to the size of more than 200 people.
Baoan City is the only pass in Xuanfu Town in the north of Baoding Mansion, and the Qing army was immediately withdrawn when it was found, and the Qing army was not found, leaving a small number of soldiers and horses to garrison the Baoan City, and paying close attention to the Qing army from the north of Baoding Mansion.
Wan Liyun and Leng Rutie didn't understand very well, Ling Jingyang and the two of them said that they got the grapevine that the defenders of Xuanfu Town may be negotiating with the Qing army to surrender, and Shiying must arrive at Xuanfu Town as soon as possible, Wan Liyun does not believe that the defenders of Xuanfu Town will surrender, they only surrendered to the Dashun Army not long ago, although the Dashun Army was defeated, the main force is still there, how can Xuanfu Town surrender repeatedly?
Ling Jingyang has the advantage of Tianyan, and Wan Liyun said: "Captain Wandu, no matter whether the defenders of Xuanfu Town surrender or not, Baoan City is a pass that our army must defend, which can choke the route of the Qing army to attack Shanxi from Xuanfu Town, and can also buy valuable time for our troops and horses to recruit troops and horses in Xuanfu Town." ”
Leng Rutie suddenly said: "Du Wei, my soldiers and horses are willing to garrison the security city, and I also ask Du Wei to complete it." ”
He still wants to defend the city with Yanqingwei, and fight for all the opportunities that can be won for the army, Ling Jingyang did not refuse him this time, he let Leng Rutie, Fang Xiaoyan, and Qin Lie's three soldiers and horses, take a month's supplies to Baoan City, and defend Baoan City when the Qing army is attacking the city, hold for a month, he will lead the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu Town to relieve the siege, he really can't hold it, you can give up the city and withdraw to Xuanfu Town.
In order to let Leng Rutie play to his heart's content, Ling Jingyang specially ordered that Qin Lie and Fang Xiaoyan's two troops and horses should return to Leng Ru Iron in the security city, and after Leng Rutie set off, Ling Jingyang also crossed the river by feeling the stones, if the Qing army really went north to Xuanfu Town and attacked the security city, he must digest and absorb the defenders of Xuanfu Town as quickly as possible, and pull it up within a month, a unit that can conduct a medium-scale field battle with the Qing army.
He led thousands of soldiers and civilians to arrive at the Chang'an Guard, which has been occupied by the cavalry battalion, looking at the Acropolis seen on the way, Ling Jingyang can be regarded as the heart of the Ming Taizu to protect the calf, these dense Acropolises are the barriers to protect the Zhu Dynasty, but with the abandonment of the guard system, these former Acropolis and guards have become Ming gravediggers.
In the Chang'an Guard, Ling Jingyang convened a military meeting to formulate a strategy after entering Xuanfu Town, and announced to everyone that only Xuanfu Town should be mainly appeased, and that no war would be waged against the defenders of Xuanfu Town unless it was absolutely necessary.
Wan Liyun asked him what he used to appease the defenders, Ling Jingyang and he said that Shiying had a lot of grain, grass and silver, which could be used to appease the defenders, and these silver, grain and grass, all thanks to those big households in Miyun Town, and it was precisely because of these that Ling Jingyang had the confidence to fight thousands of miles and arrive in Xuanfu Town to subdue the town soldiers.
Wan Liyun shrugged his shoulders and agreed, Ling Jingyang ordered the troops to rest for the night tonight, and tomorrow the whole army set off, rushed to Xuanfu Bingzhen, and appeased the garrison with silver and grain and grass, Zhang Luofu and he said: "Duwei, Xuanfu Town is Wanquandu Command Embassy, not only Xuanfu Bingzhen, but also Xuanfu left and right front three guards, Wanquan left and right guards, Huai'an Wei, security right and a bunch of guards, these defenders have at least more than 10,000 people, one place and one place to gnaw, not only waste time, but also consume a lot of grain, grass and troops.
Ling Jingyang smiled lightly, and ordered the whole army to go straight to Xuanfu Soldier Town, as long as Xuanfu Soldier Town was captured, it would be able to occupy Xuanfu Town in name, and the garrisons in other places were a group of stragglers without backbone, and if they did not surrender to the Dashun Army, they would only starve to death.
Everyone agreed to this plan, they had arrived at Xuanfu Town, only to move forward, Shiying rested for a night, the next day the whole army advanced towards Xuanfu Town, there were a small number of Xuanfu Town soldiers along the way, and saw thousands of Shiying soldiers and civilians advancing to Bingzhen, so they quickly ran back and reported to Wang Chengyun, the chief soldier of Xuanfu Bingzhen.
After Wang Chengyun got the news, he looked disdainful, he had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, what was the soldiers and horses of the Dashun army, he ordered the nearby Wanquan left and right guards, as well as the three soldiers and horses of Huai'anwei to quickly rush to Xuanfu Bingzhen to assemble, as for the soldiers and horses in other places, because they were too far apart, the number was not large, Wang Chengyun let these soldiers and horses continue to garrison, waiting for the arrival of the Qing army, and led the whole army to surrender to the Qing army.
Ling Jingyang didn't know that Wang Chengyun was gathering soldiers and horses, in his subconscious, the Xuanfu Zhenming army was able to surrender to the Dashun army, and surrendered to the Qing army without discipline, it should be an army without faith and discipline, such an army should not be strong in combat effectiveness, he thought that he could buy these soldiers with silver and grain and grass.
On the way to Xuanfu Bingzhen, Ling Jingyang subdued hundreds of town soldiers, most of these Xuanfu town soldiers were loyal and righteous people who were unwilling to surrender to the Qing army, but there were also a small number of Wang Chengyun's meticulous works, mixed into the stone camp, and sent information to the stone camp for Wang Chengyun.
Wang Chengyun continued to receive information about Shiying, this is the remnants of the Dashun army that broke through from the southwest, and can rush out of the encirclement of the Qing army, it should have some ability, Wang Chengyun strictly ordered all troops and horses to defend the city, not to go out of the city to fight, as long as they wait until the Qing army arrives, and the Qing army will destroy this group of Dashun army together, and then fly Huang Da in front of the new master?
Waiting for the soldiers and civilians of Shiying to arrive at Xuanfu Soldier Town, but saw that the city wall of Xuanfu Soldier Town was densely packed with Xuanfu Town soldiers, they were well-equipped, and they looked at the soldiers and civilians of Shiying on the city wall, Ling Jingyang was a little confused, he thought that the soldiers of Xuanfu Town were a group of tattered military households, and there was no military pay and supplies, so they would surrender back and forth, but when he saw it today, it opened his eyes, this Xuanfu Town Town soldiers are so energetic.
