Ling Jingyang asked him to say it, so Fan Honghuo conveyed the military order of Yaltsha, and ordered Ling Jingyang to lead the troops to Andong Zhongtunwei and attack Taiyuan Mansion in the south, Ling Jingyang's expression that was still smiling just now suddenly became cold, and Fan Honghuo was also a little frightened, after all, he just surrendered, and he didn't give people a breath, so he let people go desperately, and everyone would have emotions.

But Ling Jingyang's mind spun quickly, and went to Andong Zhongmen, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, leading the troops to lurk in the Qing army, and giving the Qing army a fatal blow at a critical moment, but in the next second, Ling Jingyang suddenly hesitated, and the combat effectiveness of his troops was not the strongest among the soldiers and horses of the Qing army, and it was only five or five with the combat effectiveness of the border soldiers of the Ming army who surrendered to the Qing army.

With such a small number of troops, wanting to make waves among tens of thousands of Qing troops, Ling Jingyang felt that it was a little difficult, and he said to Fan Honghuo: "Shopkeeper Fan, I also have some acquaintances in Datong Mansion, and they give much more than you." ”

Fan Honghuo was a little stunned, how could he listen to Jingyang's surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and he had to find a different wharf, he hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask who the general is in contact with in Datong Mansion." ”

Ling Jingyang only knew that the Tian family was also in contact with the Fan family in Datong City, but he didn't know that the Tian family was in contact with Fan Honghuo's cousin Fan Guangjin.

"It seems to be your Fan family, but it's not convenient for me to say who it is."

Fan Honghuo almost instantly, he thought of his cousin Fan Guangjin, he gritted his teeth and said to Ling Jingyang: "General Ling, Datong Mansion is far away from me, and after you contact the people of Datong Mansion, the daylilies are cold, my Fan family has nothing else, there is a lot of grain and grass, as long as the general can return to the Qing Dynasty from my master, my master is willing to send 3,000 stones of grain and grass, 100 armors, if the general lacks gunpowder, firearms, and some small ones here, they will be given to the general." ”

Ling Jingyang didn't reply to Fan Honghuo accurately, but Fan Hong was in a hurry, he spoke again and said, "General Ling, we can also give ten general cannons." ”

"Okay, that's it."

Ling Jingyang decisively agreed to Fan Honghuo, and proposed to meet the master behind Fan Honghuo, Fan Honghuo did not dare to call the shots, and asked Ling Jingyang to wait for news. He returned to the shop, went to the basement again to see Yasiha, and told Yasiha about Ling Jingyang's conditions.

"Dog minion, dare to make your own decisions, give the Dashun army food, grass and armor, and ten general cannons, where do you let me go to find ten general cannons for them?"

Fan Honghuo covered his face and said to him: "Master, isn't there artillery in Hunyuan City, let's go to Andong Zhongmen and pass by Hunyuan City, why don't we take Ling Jingyang's soldiers and horses and give him the artillery on the wall of Hunyuan City, can he take it away, that's his ability, anyway, we sent artillery to him." ”

Yashar suppressed his anger at this time, but he was still angry, kicked Fan Honghuo, and scolded: "Dog minion, if you do this again in the future, you will go to the customs to make coatings." ”

Fan Honghuo hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Yasiha, Yashiha then said to Fan Honghuo: "Tomorrow I will go to Datong Mansion, and in ten days I will bring troops to come, and I will go to Hunyuan City with this Ling Jingyang, and you will give him all the grain and grass in these ten days." ”

Fan Honghuo kept saying, Yashiha asked him to get out, and at dawn the next day, Yashiha took a few people out of the city and went to the north, Fang Xiaoyan asked Ling Jingyang for instructions on whether to follow these people.

Ling Jingyang waved his hand, allowing Fang Xiaoyan to continue to lurk near the Fan family's shop, at the same time, he arrived in Guangling County with all the soldiers and horses and baggage in Wei County, Ling Jingyang ordered to eat the Guangling County militia in order to replenish the troops, because Fan Honghuo sent him a batch of grain and grass, and Ling Jingyang recruited troops and horses in the city.

In Guangling City, Ling Jingyang had 900 soldiers, 200 horses, most of which were distributed to the cavalry battalion, as well as hundreds of three-eyed guns and gunpowder, all of which were given to the artillery battalion, and the artillery battalion became the only unit in the whole army equipped with firearms.

Murong Tu asked Ling Jingyang to assign Jiang Tai to his army, but Ling Jingyang flatly refused, and ordered Jiang Tai to select cavalry from among the recruits, merge them into the cavalry battalion, and give Li Rufeng a hand.

Subsequently, Ling Jingyang ordered the promotion of the whole army to the rank of captain, and the junior officers were automatically promoted to one level, and the recruits were paid May military salaries, which successfully improved morale.

......

Yanmen Pass, Taiyuan Prefecture, is still in the hands of the Dashun army, stationed in Yanmen Pass is the former battalion is the mighty general Zhang Nai's troops, they have run out of ammunition and food, and if they don't come to reinforcements, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.

Fortunately, Li Guo led the soldiers of the rear battalion to support the defenders of Yanmen Pass, and he launched a surprise campaign, successfully pulled out the Qing army camp besieging Yanmen Pass, and led the army to break into the city, and Zhang Ding and other soldiers successfully joined forces, and the whole army continued to defend the pass.

Li Guo's enemy is the Qing army's famous king Azig, he led the main force of the Qing army's western front, with 30,000 eight banner soldiers, 60,000 green battalion soldiers, not only that, but Jiang Pai is about to go south from Datong Mansion to support, and further afield, there are Tulai led Wang Chengyun, Hong Demao and other troops, also on the way to reinforcements.

Azig thought that the Dashun army was nothing more than that, but what he encountered was Li Zicheng's most elite troops, the rear battalion, and the battalion with the most veterans of the Dashun army.

Under the command of Li Guo, Azig attacked several times without success, and lost thousands of people, he was furious, and ordered to use Hongyi cannons and general cannons to bombard day and night, trying to break through the wall of Yanmen Pass, rush into the city to fight street battles, and use the strong physical fitness of the Qing army to eliminate the Dashun army in street battles.

Yanmen Pass has been a long pass since ancient times, although the artillery of the Qing army is powerful, it can be bombed for three days, and still does not knock down the city wall, but it kills and injures hundreds of soldiers and civilians of the Dashun army in the city, although the soldiers and civilians in the city are killed by hundreds of people, but there is still blood and the Qing army fight to the death.

Azig encountered iron nails at Yanmen Pass, but he was not in a hurry, and the armies of Duoduo, Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui galloped in Henan, Shandong, Beizhili and other places, and a large number of Ming troops and local armed forces were reorganized and became one green battalion soldier after another.

After the Qing craftsmen entered the customs, almost all the tool rooms and armories left by the Ming army were turned into the logistics of the Qing army, and they received more manpower and material support, the logistics of the Qing army was more perfect and powerful, and more and more artillery and weapons were produced.

Azig underestimated Li Guo too much, Li Guo was bombarded in the city for three days, and at dawn on the fourth day, he gathered all the cavalry troops in the city, went out of the pass to raid the Qing army camp, pulled out three Qing army barracks in one go, and killed thousands of Eight Banner soldiers and Green Battalion soldiers.

If it weren't for the fact that Belebolo led the 2,000 soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner to fight to the death, the Qing army was afraid that the losses would be greater, and after Li Guo's successful raid, he returned to Yanmen Pass with his cavalry troops, and the whole army beat gongs and drums at Yanmen Pass to celebrate the victory.

Azig's scalp was numb, but he still stubbornly resisted the idea of ordering a strong attack, and continued to bombard the city wall with artillery, the soldiers of the Dashun army were indeed frightened by the power and sound of the Hongyi cannon at first, but these days they are hiding behind the city wall, where there are cracks in the city wall, they hurry to strengthen it, and gradually overcome the fear of the red-coated cannon, Azig bombarded for two more days in one breath, and it still had no effect.

Bolo begged him to stop bombing, and he couldn't bear the barrel even if he continued to bomb, not to mention the precious shells, Azig didn't believe in evil, he defeated the elite of the Ming army several times outside the pass, how could he encounter these Dashun troops composed of Ming troops and rogues, but he couldn't gnaw them alive.

He and Boluo and other senior generals decided to spend money outside the city and the Dashun army, anyway, the Qing army had a steady stream of support, inside the Yanmen Pass, the grain and grass in the rear camp were getting less and less day by day, Li Guo looked at the grain and grass in the warehouse, and was able to support it for a month and a half, and when there were still ten days of grain and grass left, it was necessary to break through and withdraw to Shaanxi.

Zhang Ding and he suggested that you can select an elite soldier and go to Taiyuan Mansion to ask for reinforcements, after all, half a month ago, the middle camp was still in Taiyuan, and there were heavy troops stationed in Yuci, Li Guo did not approve, if the middle camp really still had strength, it would not let the rear camp stand on top of Yanmen Pass.

He and Zhang Ding said: "We are here for one more day, Your Majesty will be able to organize an effective counterattack in Shaanxi, my Dashun army from the beginning of the army, hundreds of battles along the way, repeatedly whirlpooled, this time is the same, the Tartar artillery can not break through the Yanmen Pass, if you want to stand on the wall of Yanmen Pass, you have to see the red with an iron sword, do you have the confidence, defend the Yanmen Pass for a month." ”

All the generals should drink one after another, even if they die, they will defend Yanmen Pass, maybe His Majesty has organized a large army to counterattack.

The confidence of the Dashun army in the city was bursting, but the Azig outside the city received the holy decree sent by the capital, and the Qing army in Henan also came to support the Shanxi battlefield, and the soldiers and horses of the various departments drove the Dashun army out of Shanxi at the end of June, and the whole army approached Shaanxi to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng's base camp.

Azig was even more secretly ordered to capture the entire territory of Shanxi, the whole army raided Tongguan, and opened up the main road to Shaanxi, Azig was dissatisfied, he was Dolgon's brother, but he was always pressed by Dolgon, Huang Taiji died, it was he who supported Dolgon to take the throne, but he was an idiot in the Manchu officialdom, he only knew how to use force, and he had no respect for the little emperor, which also made Dolgon's opinion of him bigger and bigger.

This time he attacked Yanmen Pass, and before he gnawed down, he was responsible for breaking through Tongguan in Shaanxi, wasn't this deliberately disgusting him?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he asked the envoy to rush to Datong Mansion, and ordered Jiang Hao and Tulai to rush to Taiyuan Mansion as soon as possible, and break through Yanmen Pass with him.

The elite Bayala under his command rushed to Datong City and Xuanfu Town, and ordered the Qing army of Datong Mansion and the Qing army of Xuanfu Town to rush to Yanmen Pass within ten days, and those who overdue were dealt with by military law.

Bolo looked at Azig's face flushed, but he didn't say anything, Jiang Hao and Tulai had already come on the way, not to mention ten days, they could arrive in seven days, Bolo also understood Azig's intentions, and said to him: "King of the county, are you afraid that other armies will steal the limelight?" ”
