Not only that, Li Guo also praised Ling Jingyang and held Xuanfu Town, which was like hanging a big knife on the head of the Qing army, so that the Qing army would always maintain a strong defensive force in Yingtianfu, and the Dashun army would maintain superior strength in Henan, Shanxi, Shanxi and other places, forming a local advantage, as long as the front was stabilized, His Majesty could launch a counterattack in the two directions of Shanxi and Henan, and drive the Qing army out.

Ling Jingyang only then understood Li Guo's strategic intentions, and suddenly he thought of Baoanzhou, if the rear battalion decided to garrison Xuanfu Town, his soldiers and horses in Baoan Prefecture would also be withdrawn, he and Li Guo talked about Baoan Prefecture, Li Guo also had this intention, Baoan Prefecture is the throat of Xuanfu Town, and it should be in the hands of the rear battalion, although Ling Jingyang also belongs to the Dashun army, but after all, he is not his subordinate, Ling Jingyang asked the rear battalion to select the elite to garrison Baozhou, and his troops in Baozhou will also be withdrawn as soon as possible.

After breakfast, the rear camp and the stone camp began to pull out the Xuanfu Soldier Town, this time the combat task is to pull out the nail of Wang Chengyun and bring the entire Xuanfu Town into the Dashun Army.

As for Longmen City, because it was far away from Xuanfu Bingzhen, it was abandoned as a military stronghold and turned into a beacon acropolis, and Li Guo ordered a small number of cavalry in the rear battalion to garrison it.

The whole army of Dashun army rushed forward, advancing towards the Xuanfu military town, scared Wang Chengyun in the military town like a lost dog, last night's battle, the army under his command lost most of the half, the entire military town only left more than 2,000 soldiers, almost lost the fighting spirit, and it is tantamount to suicide to defend the Xuanfu military town.

He suddenly thought that there was another army, led by the deputy general, who was attacking the partial division that went to Baozhou, and he didn't care about defending the town, so he took the remaining soldiers and horses and all the supplies, and ran in the direction of Baozhou, and joined the division, captured Baozhou, and opened up a passage for the Qing army to go north.

The last straw in Wang Chengyun's heart, this partial division was on the way to Baoanzhou, encountered Li Guo's troops on the way, and did not have the courage to raid Li Guo's troops, the whole army hid on the side of the road, and waited for Li Guo's troops to pass, the deputy general took the troops to continue to Baozhou, and after arriving in Baoanzhou, the whole army set up camp outside the city.

There are not many soldiers and horses in the stone battalion in the city, only more than 1,000 people, but the morale is high, and the generals such as Qin Lie, Fang Xiaoyan, and Qin Hu are called for a meeting, because the generals met with the battalion a few days ago, and they are not afraid of the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu Town outside the city.

Qin Lie said generously and coldly: "We, the Guanning Army, have to fight with the Xuanfu Zhen soldiers to see who is the first border soldier." ”

Although Ling Jingyang let the governor of Baoan Prefecture be cold as iron for all military matters, he also respected Qin Lie, and said to Qin Lie: "Qin is in charge of the banner, the soldiers who surrender without a fight, our army and the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu Town fight and kill, after all, there will be dead and wounded soldiers, it is better to garrison here, wait for the Lingdu Lieutenant and the soldiers and horses of the rear battalion to come to help, these miscellaneous pieces outside the city, either surrender or disperse, you can also absorb some of the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu Town, isn't it happy?"

Qin Lie thought about it, and led the troops to defend the city wall, waiting for the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu Town to attack, the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu Town rested outside the city for a while, and began to attack the city, they brought some siege equipment this time, the first wave of siege was a tentative attack, Leng Rutie and Qin Lie and other soldiers had not yet sweated, and their subordinates beat the soldiers of Xuanfu Town.

The two led the troops in the city to wait for the second attack, but the soldiers of Xuanfu Town outside the city did not move, and the whole army lay in the barracks, Leng Rutie was a little puzzled, touched his chin and thought about it, and said to Qin Lie: "The soldiers and horses of Xuanfu Town will not be so cowardly, I think they are waiting for reinforcements?" ”

"Reinforcements, I'm afraid of a fart, they have reinforcements, and we have them, as long as you hold the city, it's like you're alive or dead, and when you wait for the first act of Captain Ling and the rear battalion, these people will be scattered as birds and beasts."

Leng Rutie thinks about it, but he doesn't know that the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu Town outside the city have long been completely demoralized, Wang Chengyun's failure to attack Longmen City has long been spread to this army by stragglers, and the deputy general only failed to attack the city, three times a day, for fear that the Dashun army will be killed from Longmen City, and kept letting the scouts rush to Xuanfu Bing Town, wanting to contact Wang Chengyun, the scouts were also angry, and found Wang Chengyun halfway.

Wang Chengyun rushed to Baoan Zhou with a group of remnants of the defeated generals, when he left the military town, there were more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, and there were soldiers scattered along the way, and there were still twenty miles away from Baoanzhou, and half of the soldiers and horses were left.

The scout soon conveyed the news that Wang Chengyun led the troops to Baoan Prefecture to the deputy general, and when the deputy general heard it, the general ran here, but there was a Dashun army chasing behind him, and he didn't care whether Wang Chengyun was dead or alive, and retreated to Huailaiwei with his troops.

Waiting for Wang Chengyun to rush to Baoanzhou, but did not see the figures of his subordinates, only saw that the walls of the security guard were all banners of the Dashun army, which frightened him to Huailaiwei, and after Huailaiwei finally joined the deputy general, and the two armies stabilized, Wang Chengyun unceremoniously expelled the deputy general and asked him to roll to the rear army.

He led his troops closer to the direction of the capital, wanting to go to the capital to surrender to the Qing army, and met Hong Demao's troops on the way, the two armies were equal in number, but they looked at each other vigilantly, for fear of being eaten in one go.

Hong Demao looked at Wang Chengyun's soldiers and horses, and said to his subordinates: "Are they from Xuanfu Town?" ”

Wang Chengyun also didn't know Hong Demao, most of Hong Demao's subordinates were local garrison troops, but they all shaved their hair to become the Qing army, and they also played the flag of the Qing army, Wang Chengyun didn't care about 3721, stepped forward, and Hong Demao said: "I am Wang Chengyun, the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, and I led the troops here today to serve the Qing Dynasty." ”

He asked Wang Chengyun why he didn't garrison Xuanfu Town, and when the Qing army passed, wouldn't it be better to swear allegiance, and if he had to bring troops to the capital, did he want to raid the capital?

Wang Chengyun blushed like a monkey's buttocks, embarrassed to tell him that Xuanfu Town had been captured by the Dashun army, and his heart was to the Qing Dynasty, and he led his subordinates to fight to the death, and finally broke through the siege and rushed to the capital, and asked the general to lead the way, take him to meet the regent of the Qing Dynasty, and serve the regent.

Hong Demao is just a garrison, this Wang Chengyun is the chief soldier, take a general soldier to surrender, the regent Long Yan Dayue, he and Wang Chengyun said: "Wang Zongbing, please go into the city with the last general to meet the regent." ”

......

A few days ago, Dolgon led his subordinates into the capital in high spirits, which was the place he dreamed of, it was Nurhachi, Huang Taiji did not achieve the grand goal, and he finally led the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty into the city, and from then on, the Central Plains was surnamed Qing, not Ming.

After entering the city, the first thing was to appease the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty who were tortured to death by the Dashun army.

Not only that, Dolgon also in the capital under the banner of revenge for Emperor Chongzhen, buying the hearts of the people of the world, in the city of Bauhinia City, every day to summon the surrendered Ming Dynasty civil and military officials, not only to appease, but also to reuse and promote a group of people, so that these three family slaves were flattered, one by one at the feet of Dolgon, and became loyal ministers and good generals of the Qing Dynasty.

On this day, I suddenly received news from the guards, saying that Wang Chengyun, the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, had brought troops to join and was waiting to be summoned outside the city.

These days, Dolgon is all about experiencing the so-called Ming style, surrendering people such as carp across the river, leading troops to surrender generals are one after another, this Wang Chengyun is a town of soldiers, to vote not small level is not low, in order to show respect and grandeur, Dolgon led the Manchu princes and nobles and a group of generals out of the city to greet each other, but to give the king Chengyun face.

Wang Chengyun saw that Dolgon welcomed him with such a big pomp, and as soon as he was defeated, he was able to be personally greeted by the regent of the Qing Dynasty, and he was almost full of enthusiasm.

Another Ming army became the Qing army, Dolgon ordered Wang Chengyun to continue to serve as the chief soldier, and reformed Wang Chengyun's troops, formed a new green battalion, Wang Chengyun was the chief soldier, still commanding his subordinates, Hong Demao, who led Wang Chengyun to surrender, was also reused, and was promoted to the deputy general of Wang Chengyun's army, and Wang Chengyun's deputy general was also sent to the local garrison.

Wang Chengyun asked Dolgon to avenge him, leading the troops to recapture Xuanfu Town, Dolgon retained Wang Chengyun, that is, he took a fancy to his troops and hated the Dashun army, so that Wang Chengyun led the formation of the green battalion to attack Xuanfu Town, and gave enough supplies, and let the 1,000 Eight Banners help to pull out the nail hanging over the head of the capital, Wang Chengyun and Hong De took the infantry into one, there were more than 5,000 people, after being supplemented by the Qing army, the two soldiers and horses rested for a while, and Wang Chengyun led the soldiers and horses to kill Xuanfu Town.

Wang Chengyun hooked up with the Qing army these days, Ling Jingyang recalled Leng Rutie and other soldiers and horses, rested in Xuanfu Bingzhen for a few days, and the whole army went to Datong Mansion, and the small road that the cavalry battalion followed the Wen family before was temporarily abandoned because of the long road.

But Ling Jingyang did not completely abandon this road because he could directly enter Datong Mansion from Xuanfu Town, or let Wang Hong and the Wen family finish this road, if they can't stand in Shanxi, this small road can leave a back road for the army.

On the day of Ling Jingyang's departure, Wang Chengyun led the green battalion soldiers to kill in Baoanzhou, and the movement of the green battalion soldiers was soon discovered by the rear camp scouts, and hurriedly rushed back to report the Qing army's attack.

Li Guo kindly invited, Ling Jingyang had to order all troops and horses to temporarily stop advancing, and wait until the Qing army in Xuanfu Town was defeated before leaving.

Ling Jingyang made this decision, which made him regret it for a long time, and fought with the green battalion soldiers in Xuanfu Town, which led to the delay of the stone camp to Datong Mansion for ten days.

The green battalion soldiers were defeated in three battles in Baoanzhou, and they were defeated before they entered the core area of Xuanfu Town, and finally the Eight Banners appeared, covering the retreat of the Green Battalion, Wang Chengyun lost troops in Baoanzhou, so that the fortifications built by the rear battalion did not play a role, after the Green Battalion withdrew, Li Guo led the troops to pursue, and was beaten by the Eight Banners to fight a counter-assault, losing hundreds of soldiers and horses, and was forced to withdraw, which made Li Guo unpleasant, and also let him once again appreciate the strength of the Eight Banners.

Defeated Wang Chengyun's department, the soldiers of the stone camp and the rear camp rejoiced, at this time the bad news came from Shanxi, Jiang Xuan, the general soldier of Datong Mansion, conspired to make a rebellion, attacked and killed Zhang Tianlin and other soldiers of the Dashun army, and the entire northeast city wall of Shanxi changed the banner of the king, although Jiang Hao betrayed Zhang Tianlin and killed the life-saving benefactor, but also made an unpredictable move, supporting the children of the Zhu family, instead of surrendering the Qing army at the first time.

Although the Qing army did not surrender, but also caused the Dashun army in Shanxi to arrange the defense line in jeopardy, Li Guo got the news, scolded Jiang Liang rats, but also regretted inviting Ling Jingyang to garrison Xuanfu Town, although defeated Wang Chengyun thousands of soldiers and horses, but lost Datong Mansion this vital place.

At this time, Ling Jingyang led more than 5,000 soldiers and civilians in Shiying and was on the way to Shanxi, Li Guo hurriedly asked his subordinates to catch up with Ling Jingyang, telling him that Datong Mansion had been captured by the rebels, and asked him and his troops to withdraw quickly.
