Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 172: Soldiers Don't Get Tired of Deceit (9)
"Hehe, there is definitely more than the Fan family, there are so many of my subordinates, none of them are as shrewd as you, Leng Rutie may be as calm as you, but there is no philistine like you, only you are more suitable for this task."
Wan Liyun was still a little reluctant, Ling Jingyang said to him again: "Wan Liyun, I know that you are definitely not a thing in the pool, when we destroy the Qing army in Guangling City and conquer Datong City, I will let you become an independent army, and I will recommend you to General Li Guo as the right mighty general, do you think this is good?" ”
Others don't know, but Ling Jingyang knows that of course there are not only the Fan family who make dogs for the Qing army in this city, but also other profiteers who surrendered to the Qing army and provided valuable strategic materials for the Qing army, and he asked Wan Liyun to take on this responsibility in the city.
Wan Liyun said that it was a little difficult, and Ling Jingyang said to him: "There is also a task for you to retreat, I will let the old steamed bun cooperate with you, complete this task, give you five thousand taels of silver, five hundred soldiers, and allow you to recruit troops, go, don't let the stone camp be eaten by the Qing army in Guangling City." ”
There are five thousand taels of silver, can recruit a lot of soldiers and horses, Wan Liyun then took off his robe, put on cloth clothes and straw shoes, wandering in the city, on the first day, he wandered around the larger shops in the city, some shops were not affected by the war at all, but the goods were sufficient, and some shops were struggling to survive, some people came to buy things, eager to sell everything.
The next day, he changed into clean-looking clothes and came to the shop with plenty of goods, this shop was under the banner of Zhangjiakou Jin Merchant, he came to the shop, saying that he wanted to buy some grain and grass, herbs for treating burns, pig bristles and other things that looked like strategic materials, and the shopkeeper immediately cheered up and introduced these materials to him, and he was very enthusiastic.
Wan Liyun chatted with them without a word, and learned from them that this merchant had a lot of herbs, and if they could be trusted, they were willing to send the herbs to the place designated by Wan Liyun.
Wan Liyun saw a kind of enthusiasm that did not belong to ordinary businessmen from the eyes of these shopkeepers and Xiao Er, that is, a kind of enthusiasm that tried every possible way to get information from his mouth, and after going out, he found that there were two people following behind.
Who is he, but the iron-blooded man who fought with the Ming army and the Qing army deliberately found an alley, brought in the tail behind, an iron elbow, and a sweeping leg, killed one of the two people he was following, injured one person, and dragged the injured person to the corner by him, stabbed him in the thigh with a knife, and asked him who he was doing things for?
This person's mouth was also hard, and he didn't say anything, Wan Liyun saw that he didn't say anything, he killed him with a knife, and continued to go to the next one, and went around the entire Guangling City, and he found that there were seven shops in the city with sufficient goods, and these seven shops were much harder than other small shops.
He saw all these things in his eyes and heart, and on the third, fourth, and fifth days, he hid in a private house in the city, and all the shops that had seen him thought that he had news.
waited until Ling Jingyang asked Lao Mantou to sing the Qin dialect outside his room, threw in a bag of silver from outside the door, and a secret letter, this secret letter was handwritten by Ling Jingyang asked Lao Mantou to tell him that he could act today, and the specific plan was in the letter.
After reading it, he swallowed the letter, and after packing it up, he came to a large shop, and the shopkeeper recognized him as the merchant who had come a few days ago to buy herbs, and he was very domineering with this shop, and offered to buy two hundred stones of herbs for the treatment of burns, and send them to the woods outside the city tomorrow morning, the more the better.
The shopkeeper reassured him that he would have people send these herbs to the woods, just this silver...
Wan Liyun threw a package of paper to him, and the rest of the silver would be given to him in the woods, and the shopkeeper saw that there were more than two hundred taels of silver, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said that he would definitely deliver the herbs tomorrow morning.
Then Wan Liyun came belatedly, and came to the military meeting before Ling Jingyang went to Fan's house for a banquet, Leng Rutie and others were also surprised when they saw Wan Liyun, as if they hadn't seen Wan Liyun for some days, and thought that he would say goodbye and go to Shanxi to join the old army?
"General Ling, it's all ordered, these miscellaneous pieces in the city will go to the grove tomorrow morning, and let them eat dogs."
Ling Jingyang and his subordinates ordered: "Okay, all the shops out of the city tonight are finished." ”
Ordered, all the lieutenants were very domineering and listened to the military salute of Jingyang.
The sun went down, Guangling City gradually entered the night, and Ling Jingyang ordered action.
He led Dong Daqi and other 500 directly subordinate troops, fully armed to the gate of Fan's shop, Li Rufeng led 100 troops to the east gate of Fan's house, Leng Rutie led his subordinates down to the west gate, Wang Chengen led his troops to the north gate, and Zhang Luofu led his subordinates to block the last gate.
The Fan family's shop and mansion were together, and the people inside had already seen Ling Jingyang leading a group of soldiers to come, so they opened the door in fright, and at the same time, Wang Mu began to wander around the city.
Ling Jingyang asked him and Lao Mantou to pay attention to which shops in the city will go out of the city tonight, and the shops that go out of the city should not startle the snakes, they all draw a trace on the door, and they will all be served early tomorrow morning.
On the morning of the same day, Murong Tu led the troops to martial law at the city gate, and anyone who left the city was driven out, but only the convoy of shops that delivered goods out of the city was all released, and after the people of these shops left the city, they rushed to the nearby Hunyuan City.
These profiteers thought that Wanliyun was the Dashun army and came to buy herbs to heal the wounded soldiers, so they went out of the city to Hunyuan City to attract troops to attack the "Dashun army" in the woods. ”
Hunyuan City is not far from Guangling County, and the shop scouts rushed to Hunyuan City in the afternoon, and told the rebels of Hunyuan City that there were Dashun troops outside Guangling City, and asked the army to destroy these Dashun troops.
This is a good opportunity for meritorious service, the rebel generals of Hunyuan City immediately raised 3,000 troops and hurried to Guangling City to kill, at this time, Niu Guangtian and Yang Yiwei were still waiting outside the city for the attack signal.
In the city of Guangling City, Ling Jingyang surrounded the Fan family with a group of soldiers, but he never issued an attack order, but looked at the Fan family coldly, Yasha asked Fan Honghuo to invite Ling Jingyang and other generals.
Fan Honghuo stiffened his head, walked out of the mansion, and greeted Ling Jingyang with a smile.
"The general's visit to the cold house is really full of brilliance, the little one prepares the wine and food, and the generals get drunk and rest."
Ling Jingyang suddenly looked at him angrily: "Fan Honghuo, do you have Qing soldiers in your mansion?" ”
Fan Honghuo ah, and then Ling Jingyang ordered all the troops to attack, there are a hundred Qing soldiers in the Fan family's mansion, and dozens of Fan family members, they carry weapons and the stone camp soldiers to fight, although the Qing soldiers are strong, but the number is at a disadvantage, relying on the Fan family courtyard wall to resist the attack of the stone camp, although the loss of half of the men and horses, even repelled the stone camp several attacks.
Ling Jingyang did not give the order to attack with all his might, he wanted to lure other Qing soldiers in the city to come out, and sure enough, dozens of Ding families rushed out of many shops to support the Fan family, and there were hundreds of these people, which scared Wang Mu a lot, but the old steamed bun said: "Wang Zhixian, just sit and watch how my old steamed bun slaughtered these miscellaneous pieces." ”
The old steamed bun led the soldiers to quickly kill them, blocking the families who rushed out of the shops in the alley, and the other soldiers and horses also surrounded and suppressed these families under the leadership of the deputy general.
Although the battle broke out in the whole city, it was always in a small area, after killing and wounding more than half of the Qing army, Ling Jingyang ordered to stop the attack, and the Fan family ordered, no more surrender, after dawn, slaughter all the Fan family.
Fan Honghuo was stupid, he thought that if he surrendered to the Manchurians, he would be able to walk with his head up in this troubled world, but tonight the Dashun Army let him see what a soldier is, and the invincible Eight Banners soldiers in his eyes could not withstand the large number of Dashun Army, many Eight Banners soldiers could withstand it at first, but they were stabbed by the Dashun Army when they fought, so that he no longer felt that the Eight Banners were invincible in the world.
The Eight Banners were beaten miserably outside, but their commander Yashar was in the basement, hurriedly changing into a set of subordinate clothes, and mixed among the subordinates, so as not to be cut down by the Dashun army.
The Eight Banners couldn't find him, and Fan Honghuo couldn't find him, so he ordered to surrender in a fit of anger, and the more than ten remaining members of the Fan family threw down their weapons and surrendered, but the Eight Banners refused to surrender and continued to fight with their weapons, and dozens of Eight Banners soldiers couldn't make waves.
Ling Jingyang ordered all of them to be wiped out, and hundreds of soldiers from the rear battalion rushed up and slashed and killed, and all the Eight Banners soldiers were killed.
Fan Honghuo and more than a dozen family members, as well as all the subordinates of the Fan family, the shop junior two were all driven to the school by the soldiers of the back camp, Yasiha was also mixed in, he looked at Ling Jingyang viciously, he didn't think he lost, he also had a killer weapon, he was hiding in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to give Ling Jingyang a fatal blow.
Ling Jingyang did not enter the Fan family, he always felt that there were more deadly killers in the city, just like Li Daoli was assassinated by Manchurian assassins in Zhuozhou City, he let Fang Xiaoyan lead the fire gun camp, which was to guard against the Qing army assassins.
Fang Xiaoyan took more than 200 firecrackers to ambush near Fan's house, he took five good kung fu coats, lurking in an alley on the west side of Fan's house, this is the best assassination angle, if there is an assassin lying here, assassinating with a firecracker, there is a high possibility of shooting General Ling.
He was lying on the ground motionless with a big knife, and suddenly heard footsteps nearby, and made a look at his subordinates, who were all as big as him, eager to block the bullets for Ling Jingyang, and the five young soldiers followed the footsteps like a monkey.
Finally, on the roof of a private house, they saw a black shadow, aiming at the gate of Fan's house with a bird's gun, as long as Ling Jingyang walked out of the crowd and entered the gate of Fan's house, the angle of this bird's gun was 80% sure to kill Ling Jingyang.
Ling Jingyang still didn't enter Fan's house, and seeing Fan Honghuo and the others being driven to the school ground, he and Dong Daqi said, "Don't enter Fan's house for the time being, wait for Fang Xiaoyan and them to come back." ”
Fang Xiaoyan did not disappoint him, before the black shadow opened, Fang Xiaoyan ordered an attack, five eighteen and nineteen young soldiers climbed the city wall, the sound alarmed the black shadow, the black shadow rushed from another alley, he just stood up, ran from the roof, and was hit by Fang Xiaoyan with a firecracker.
The assassin screamed and fell off the roof, was pressed up by the soldiers of the fire battalion, tied him up, and dragged him to Fang Xiaoyan, Fang Xiaoyan and his subordinates ordered all to go up to the roof to see if there were any other assassins?
After the soldiers of the fire gun battalion climbed up to the roof, they did not find other assassins, but they saw more than a dozen fire guns on the roof, Fang Xiaoyan dragged the assassin to Ling Jingyang, the assassin was hit in the calf, and his mouth was stuffed with a ball of rags for fear that he would commit suicide, Ling Jingyang saw this person, and said to Fang Xiaoyan: "Where is this person hiding?" ”
Fang Xiaoyan pointed to a roof not far away, and said, "My lord, this thief is lying on his stomach there, the angle is just towards the gate of the Fan family, as long as the gate enters the gate of the Fan family from here, it is really possible for this thief..."
"Xiaoyan, this person will give it to you, pry open his mouth, and reward you with a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup tomorrow."
Subsequently, Ling Jingyang took his subordinates to the school field, and the order in the city had been settled, because the battle in the city ended in a short time, and the rebels outside the city had not yet come to their senses.
Fan Honghuo swallowed his spit and begged Ling Jingyang to spare his life, Ling Jingyang said to him: "If you want to live, you can lead Wang Zhixian to recognize the shops and miscellaneous pieces in the city that surrendered to Jiannu, I will let you live, and I will give you five hundred taels of silver to let you go away." ”
Fan Honghuo suddenly gritted his teeth: "My lord, this is true." ”
"If you don't believe it, cut it."
Ling Jingyang asked Dong Daqi to drag him out and cut off his head, Fan Honghuo hurriedly expressed his willingness, he jumped out, pointed to an ordinary subordinate, and said, "This person is the head of Jiannu in the city." ”
Yasiha really didn't expect Fan Honghuo to be so soft-boned, and he was exposed for the first time, and he was looking for death, when he was driven to the school ground, he deliberately came to Fan Honghuo's side and said to him: "He still has a killer ambush outside the gate of Fan's house, and when he kills Ling Jingyang, he still has a chance to turn defeat into victory." ”
Fan Honghuo had long wanted to sell Yasha, but he couldn't find Yasha, this Yashaha suddenly popped out, Fan Honghuo didn't hesitate, he betrayed Yasha, Yasha, was pulled by the old steamed bun and others, and dragged to Ling Jingyang.
Ling Jingyang looked at this leader of the Qing army, at least in appearance, there was nothing extraordinary, and he asked, "Can you explain the language?" ”
Yasha twisted his head to the side and refused to answer Ling Jingyang, at this time, drums suddenly sounded outside the city, it was the rebels who began to attack the city, Ling Jingyang and the generals said: "Go to help Murong Tu, his soldiers and horses are not enough, and when the rebels are repulsed, each person will be paid one, two, three and four months." ”
When the soldiers heard that Ling Jingyang was going to pay them military salaries, or to pay them military salaries in January, February, March and April, they were excited one by one, rushed to the city wall with full fighting enthusiasm, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the rebels.
At this time, the sky is dawning, the rebels outside the city are the same as the hot pot on the horse, and if they don't attack the city, they are afraid that they will die in the city, Yang Yiwei doesn't want to be beheaded by the Qing people, so he ordered the whole army to attack the city.
Niu Guangtian didn't have the confidence to break through Guangling City, and launched an attack with his troops, but before he could rush under the city wall, he was shot and wounded by the stone camp hundreds of soldiers.
