Ling Jingyang's troops ran all the way and arrived near Tianchengwei on the border of Datong Mansion, the whole army did not know that Jiang Hao had rebelled, and the Tianchengwei Ming army killed the soldiers of the Dashun army stationed in the city, and once again changed the flag and re-erected the Ming army flag on the city wall.

Li Rufeng led the cavalry battalion into the Tianchengwei realm, and was attacked by the Tianchengwei Ming army, these Ming troops surrendered to the Dashun army, got supplies, had already eaten and drunk, restored combat effectiveness, a surprise attack, the cavalry battalion was defeated, and immediately withdrew.

The Tianchengwei Ming army did not dare to pursue the Dashun army, and drove the cavalry battalion out of the Tianchengwei territory, so they strengthened the garrison on the border to prevent the Dashun army from entering Tianchengwei again.

Li Rucheng withdrew to the Chinese army, and Ling Jingyang reported this matter, Ling Jingyang almost fainted, he asked Li Rufeng if he had reported the name of the Dashun army, Li Rufeng said that the cavalry battalion was under the banner of the right battalion of the Dashun army, but Tiancheng Wei Ming Army didn't care about these, meeting was to launch a surprise attack, if it wasn't for the fast legs of the cavalry battalion, it would have been dumplings by the Ming army.

Tiancheng Wei Ming's attack showed that the Ming army in Datong Mansion had completely rebelled, and Ling Jingyang's plan to prevent Jiang Hao from killing Zhang Tianlin failed, and he couldn't extricate himself from heartache.

But when the army arrived in Shanxi, he had to go on without hesitation, he learned from the pain, stabilized his emotions, summoned Wan Liyun, and the generals to discuss the next action plan together.

Wan Liyun and other generals were in place, and Ling Jingyang said that the cavalry battalion entered the Tianchengwei realm and was attacked by the local Ming army, thinking that the Ming army of Datong Mansion might rebel, as soon as this remark came out, the generals were in an uproar, and Zhang Luofu was the first to stand up and ask Ling Jingyang to fight.

He is willing to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to meet Tianchengwei Ming Army for a while, not only him, Huang Daozhong, Leng Ru Iron, a Jizhen soldier, and a Guanning soldier also stood up and asked to lead the troops to step on Tianchengwei.

The generals are excited, and the military spirit is available. Ling Jingyang was not in a hurry to attack Tianchengwei with troops, but asked the generals to sit down and analyze the current situation.

There is a rear battalion stationed in Xuanfu Town, the Qing army does not have the ability to directly support Tianchengwei, that is, Shanxi Datong Mansion, the Qing army wants to meet Jiang Huang's rebels, there are only two roads, one is to break through Xuanfu Town, march from Xuanfu Town to Shanxi, and Jiang Jiu will join the division.

The other way is to go north from Taiyuan Mansion, and it is necessary to have a battle with the main force of the Dashun Army in Taiyuan Mansion, regardless of whether the Qing army can defeat Xuanfu Town and the Dashun Army of Taiyuan Mansion, it will take half a month.

Within half a month, Shiying ate part of the territory of Datong Mansion, compressing the rebel forces in a corner of Datong Mansion, making the rebels lose their ability to contain the Dashun army, and cutting off the connection between the rebels and the Qing army.

Ling Jingyang also talked to the generals present about Li Daoli, he asked Li Daoli to sneak into Wei County a few days ago, and I don't know if Li Daoli survived this rebellion, if he is still alive, it will be very helpful for Shiying to gain a firm foothold in Datong Mansion.

Li Rufeng stood up suddenly, willing to lead the cavalry battalion to Wei County, and inquired about Li Daoli's whereabouts, Wan Liyun and Li Rufeng said: "Li Zhangqi, Wei County is in the southeast of Datong Mansion, we are in the north of Datong Mansion, and the cavalry battalion is just a little bit of money, and it is still saved." ”

The implication is that the cavalry battalion does not have the strength to go to Wei County, Li Rufeng frowned, staring at Wan Liyun, in his heart, Wan Liyun is a guest general, but it is only because Lieutenant Ling appreciates him that he has a good status in Shiying, and he is so ignorant of what is good or bad, refute his invitation to fight, Ling Jingyang saw that Li Rufeng was dissatisfied, and opened his mouth to let the two of them sit down.

Everyone continued to keep their heads stuffy and discussed together how to enter Datong Mansion, at this time, Li Guobu hurriedly whipped up overnight, and finally rushed to the stone camp, and was outside the military camp to ask to see Ling Jingyang.

Ling Jingyang was having a meeting with the generals, Dong Daqi broke in, and reported to him that General Li Guobu was outside the barracks and asked to enter the camp.

After a while, General Li Guobu entered the camp of the Chinese army where Ling Jingyang was, and after he came in, the people who recognized him were shocked that it was Gao Yigong, the general of the rear camp Right Guoyi.

Gao Yigong is Li Zicheng's brother-in-law, and he is the descendant of the lineage, Gao Yigong is not pretentious, he came to Ling Jingyang and introduced himself to him as Gao Yigong in the back camp.

On the order of Li Guo, the general of the rear battalion, he came to invite Lieutenant Lingdu, as well as the soldiers and civilians under his command to withdraw to Xuanfu Town, strengthen the defensive force of Xuanfu Town, and prevent the Qing army from going north to collude with the Shanxi rebels.

Li Guo let Ling Jingyang come back, but let Gao Yigong be a lobbyist, it can be seen that Li Guo attaches great importance to Ling Jingyang, and hopes that Ling Jingyang will withdraw to Governor Zhen, defend Xuanfu Town with him, and put enough pressure on the Qing army in the north of the capital, forcing the Qing army to mobilize heavy troops to prevent the rear battalion from launching a surprise attack into the city and carrying out a beheading operation.

Ling Jingyang hurriedly invited Gao Yigong to sit down, Gao Yigong was not polite, and after sitting down, he conveyed Li Guo's suggestion to Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang listened quietly, and rejected Gao Yigong in one breath.

This can make Gao Yigong angry enough, Ling Jingyang actually refused Li Guo's kindness, who is Li Guo, but His Majesty's own nephew, who is he Gao Yigong, is His Majesty's brother-in-law, the two imperial relatives came to persuade Ling Jingyang to withdraw to Xuanfu Town, it is to protect Ling Jingyang's soldiers and horses, how can he be so ignorant.

Ling Jingyang looked at the anger on Gao Yigong's face, smiled, and said calmly: "General Gao, you and General Li, as well as the kindness of the brothers in Houying, I listened to someone's heart." ”

Gao Yigong just wanted to speak, but Ling Jingyang continued: "The last general thinks that the best defense is offense. ”

Wan Liyun, Gao Yigong and other generals were a little stunned, and Ling Jingyang continued to talk eloquently, if the stone camp retracted and the rear camp was stationed in Xuanfu Town, it would be attacked from both sides, with the Shanxi rebels in the west and the Eight Banners of the Qing army in the south.

With the narrow area of Xuanfu Town and the strength of the rear camp and the stone battalion, it will be beaten by the Qing army and the rebels, rather than fighting out like this, the rear camp will defend Xuanfu Town, and can do its best to fight with the Qing army, he can lead the stone camp to fight with the rebels in Datong Mansion, and fight for space for the rear camp and the stone camp.

Wan Liyun also pondered through Ling Jingyang's intentions, and also persuaded Gao Yigong that Shiying contained the rebels in Shanxi, and engaged in a tug-of-war on the border between Xuanfu Town and Datongfu, so that the rebels could never set foot in Xuanfu Town and hook up with the Qing army.

If the rear camp can't hold Xuanfu Town, the rear camp can withdraw to Datong Mansion and go south from Datong Mansion to Taiyuan Mansion, and it can also attack the rebels with Shiying and drive the rebels out.

Gao Yigong was completely moved, he brought five hundred soldiers this time, before leaving, Li Guo granted him the right to act at the opportunity, he thought that Shiying went to Datong Mansion to fight for territory with the rebels, the troops were a little insufficient, and generously sent five hundred soldiers to Ling Jingyang, and only took a few henchmen back to Li Guo.

Ling Jingyang was grateful, but Gao Yigong said that he was not polite, he and Ling Jingyang said that if the Qing army attacked Xuanfu Town, the strength of the rear camp and the army would not last long, and Ling Jingyang also needed to take Datong Mansion as soon as possible to fight for the living space and a stable defense line for the entire Dashun army.

The Dashun army is very good, there is no excessive deceit between colleagues, they all have the same goal, in other words, it is impossible to leave five hundred soldiers for Ling Jingyang.

Gao Yigong rested in the stone camp for half a day, and then took his subordinates back, and Ling Jingyang also ordered the stone camp to raid Tianchengwei, and captured the Tiancheng Acropolis with lightning speed, laying a foothold for the Shiying army and people.

This raid mission is very important, it is the first battle of the whole army to enter Shanxi, and it is necessary to occupy Tianchengwei in one go, otherwise the morale will be greatly hit, the whole army and the people will lose confidence, and the retreat will make the stone camp a joke.

Therefore, Ling Jingyang concentrated the main force this time to raid the Tiancheng Acropolis, and the people of Miyun Town in the logistics baggage camp, some of them are craftsmen and will make siege equipment, they started their horsepower, and with the cooperation of other soldiers and civilians, they made fifty siege ladders and six siege rams overnight, these weapons are siege weapons, although the production is relatively rough, they can attack the Tiancheng Acropolis, which is definitely enough.

The defenders of Tiancheng Acropolis are Jiang Xuan's territory, he is the deputy commander of Yanghewei, Admiral Tiancheng, Yanghe, Gaoshan Sanwei, and the cavalry battalion entered the Tianchengwei territory, he received this news, and immediately mobilized Yanghe, Gaoshan two guards and horses to support Tianchengwei, and asked the generals to rush back to Datong overnight, and reported to Jiang Hao that the Dashun army was killed from Xuanfu Town, and asked Jiang Hao to send reinforcements.
