Volume 2 Troubled Times Chapter 120: Xuanfu Town (1)

The generals were also surprised, there are so many elite soldiers and strong generals in Xuanfu Town, Ling Jingyang is even more scolded that the soldiers in Xuanfu Town have no discipline, there are so many soldiers stationed in Xuanfu Town, and they don't fire a shot, after the arrival of the Qing army, a swarm of bees surrendered to the Qing army, causing the Qing army to easily approach Shanxi, luring Jiang Jiu and other Ming troops to surrender to the Qing army again, causing the northwest defense line of the Dashun army to open wide.

Everyone thought that there were so many elite soldiers and strong generals in Xuanfu Town, and they would go out of the city and fight in the stone camp, Ling Jingyang ordered all departments to prepare for battle, not to be defeated by the town soldiers, and the stone camp soldiers were under the command of generals at all levels, lined up in formation, and waited for the attack of the town soldiers.

But to everyone's surprise, the defenders of Xuanfu Town were stunned to defend the military town, and no army came out to fight in the field, Ling Jingyang looked at the impregnable military town, and Wan Liyun said: "Captain Wandu, are you sure to capture the military town?" ”

Wan Liyun shook his head like a wave drum, there were at least seven to eight thousand soldiers and horses in the military town, but he couldn't figure it out, how could these soldiers and horses defend in the city, with their strength, they could completely go out of the city to fight, and defeat the stone camp in the front, how could they shrink in the city?

He began his psychological speculation again, and after thinking about it for a while, he said to Ling Jingyang: "Captain Lingdu, I thought that these town soldiers wanted to make meritorious contributions. ”

Make contributions?

If you want to make meritorious service, why don't you go out of the city to defeat the stone camp in the field, defeat the stone camp in the field, carry the heads of the stone camp soldiers, and the baggage to vote for the Qing army, wouldn't it be better?

Wan Liyun said to him very mysteriously: "Captain Lingdu, do you say that these town soldiers will wait until the Qing army arrives in Xuanfu Town, and then flank our army with the Qing army, or will they defeat our army now, and the Qing army is still on the way here?" ”

This insight is very level, Ling Jingyang admired Wan Liyun a lot, and said: "The Qing army is still on the way here, our army might as well go north to other guards, annex the guards, and isolate the Xuanfu soldiers. ”

Wan Liyun was very interested, and Ling Jingyang asked to go now? He happened to use those captives to play a role, but Ling Jingyang was still a little worried that the army of Xuanfu Town would suddenly kill him, the number of soldiers and civilians in Shiying was already small, and if he dispersed his forces, it would be easy to be wiped out by the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu Town.

Wan Liyun was bent by psychological tactics, and Ling Jingyang said: "Didn't we let Leng Rutie go to Baoanzhou?" The Qing soldiers are not so easy to capture Baoanzhou, the Qing army is less than a day, this Xuanfu Town is fragmented, and it will not go out of the city for a day to fight, Lingdu Lieutenant is still relieved to cut off the Acropolis of the military town, right? ”

Ling Jingyang summoned Zhang Luofu and asked him if there were other guards nearby, and Zhang Luofu replied to him that to the northwest was the Longmen Guard, and there were also Longmen subordinate Longmen Guards, and there might be some soldiers and horses in Xuanfu Town in these two places.

Eating the soldiers and horses in these two places can strengthen the military strength of the stone camp, Ling Jingyang decided to lead the stone camp to the northwest direction, and lay down the Longmen guard and the Longmen station, at least to ensure that the army has a place to stay, and in the face of the enemy's attack, there can also be a city to garrison.

He immediately made a decision and ordered the whole army to advance to the northwest, and along the way, the Ming army scattered and braved, regardless of whether these soldiers were willing to continue to serve in the army, ate them all, and then dispersed them to various departments.

Some of the old, young, sick and disabled who have no combat ability help transport the baggage in the logistics baggage camp, and Ling Jingyang did not treat these stragglers badly, as long as they join the soldiers, each person will be given five taels of silver, and in the logistics baggage, each person will be given half a tael of silver, and three meals a day will be full.

Many of these stragglers in Xuanfu Town just didn't want to surrender to the Qing army, and ran out of the station, and some people didn't dare to fight with the Qing army and the Dashun army.

A small number of stragglers were brave, and after getting the silver and food, they slipped away again, and these deserters were driven back by Zhang Luofu and his subordinates.

In the past, Ling Jingyang may have waved his hand and let these people roll away, or they were working as coolies in logistics, but this time it was different, this time Shiying needed to establish authority in Xuanfu Town, and he couldn't just benefit from it, Ling Jingyang and Zhang Luofu nodded.

Zhang Luofu immediately led his subordinates to cut off their heads, and after a while, dozens of deserters' heads were thrown on both sides of the road, deterring those stragglers who joined the stone camp and wanted to be deserters, this is the end.

When the stone battalion arrived at the Longmen guard, it actually recruited five or six hundred stragglers, and some of them would come with weapons to take refuge, and the military strength of the stone battalion increased a lot in an instant.

On the Longmen Acropolis, the defending general led more than 1,000 soldiers, looking at a large group of soldiers and civilians coming to Hula under the city, he asked loudly, which army is under the city?

Ling Jingyang let Wan Liyun appear on the stage, Wan Liyun cleared his throat and responded loudly to the Longmen guard general, they are the right battalion troops of the Dashun Army, today they defeated the Qing army that was ordered to conquer Xuanfu Town, and today they specially came to garrison the Longmen guards, and asked the Longmen guards to open the city gate and welcome the Dashun army into the city.

In order to confuse the guards, Wan Liyun also asked his subordinates to rush to the front of the hundreds of Qing soldiers captured by Yanqingwei, although these Qing soldiers are all Ming people, but they are still wearing Qing army uniforms, many Qing soldiers have bare heads, have shaved their hair, Longmen guards look at it, it is really Qing soldiers, and suddenly dare not drink the Dashun army as the enemy.

Although he still has more than 1,000 soldiers, these soldiers are a miscellaneous card in Xuanfu Town, and they are not treated by Wang Chengyun, and weapons and grain and grass are at the end of the army, and the Longmen Station is a little farther away, and it is a remote place.

I heard that after the Dashun army was defeated by the Qing army, the garrisons of Longmen Guard and Longmen were scattered from 5,000 men and horses to more than 1,000 people left, and most of them were still in Longmen Guard, and it was almost impossible to count on the subordinates of Longmen to rescue.

The guards of the Dragon Gate Guard did not have much confidence to hold the Dragon Gate Guard, and saw hundreds of prisoners under the city, walking around with their heads sloppy, the guard gritted his teeth, ordered the city gate to be opened, and continued to surrender to the Dashun army.

Ling Jingyang ordered the soldiers and civilians of the stone camp to quickly enter the city, and replaced the Longmen Acropolis defense with the soldiers of the stone camp in the shortest possible time.

After all the soldiers and civilians of Shiying entered the city, Ling Jingyang ordered the Longmen guards to gather in the school field in the city.

Many soldiers received silver, and hot steamed buns, moved eyes with tears, how long they have not eaten hot steamed buns, and how long have they not been paid, many soldiers have sold their weapons poorly, and today they have been allocated excellent weapons, and the ambition of these soldiers has returned.

In doing so, Ling Jingyang was also competing with the Qing army for the hearts of the army, so that the Qing army's silver offensive would roll aside.
