Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 177: Internal Strife (1)

When he got up this morning, Wan Liyun felt that the barracks were quiet, no one was standing guard, and there were no soldiers to practice, so he was scared, and he was trembling with a big knife, and he walked around the barracks without seeing a single soldier, he was a little surprised, and thought that Ling Jingyang led the whole army to withdraw from Guangling City last night?

When he walked out of the barracks, there were still people coming and going in the city, and after a round in the city, he happened to see five subordinates following behind a group of other barracks soldiers, he followed up to take a look, these subordinates actually went to the Murong Tu military camp to practice, and he was so angry that his scalp was numb, but now he is the commander of the light pole, and if he forcibly breaks into the Murong Tu military camp, he will also be beaten out by others to make jokes.

He had no choice but to come to Ling Jingyang angrily, he had to ask for justice, otherwise he couldn't swallow it in his heart.

Hearing that Murong Tu annexed Wanliyun's soldiers and horses, Ling Jingyang was also embarrassed, although it was Wanliyun's subordinates who secretly went to Murong Tu's military camp, it was not that Wanliyun did not have power in Shiying, and the soldiers felt that there was no future for him to follow, so they turned to Murong Tu, the local force of Datong Mansion.

Ling Jingyang said to him: "Wan Liyun, those soldiers who are unwilling to follow you, force them to stay, and don't really serve you, I will give you five thousand taels of silver, you go and recruit soldiers." ”

"Phew, I don't have a helper, how can I recruit troops here, and there are five thousand taels of silver, you give it to me, and I still have to carry the silver to recruit troops everywhere?"

At this time, Ling Jingyang remembered Yasiha, and said to him: "You go with that Manchurian Yasha, if you feel that the troops are not enough, tomorrow I will let Zhang Luofu and Leng Rutie, Murong Tu lead the troops to attack Lingqiu and Guangchang, you can also follow, after the city is broken, you can recruit as many soldiers as you can." ”

Wan Liyun was still a little dissatisfied, but Ling Jingyang spoke, no matter how much resentment he had, he had to endure it, and followed Leng Rutie to attack Guangchang County, Murong Tu and Zhang Luofu attacked Lingqiu County, and after the two soldiers and horses went out of the city, Guangling County was a little empty.

Ling Jingyang summoned Wang Mu and asked him to recruit the displaced people, as long as they are willing to be soldiers, they will give silver and food, Wang Mu has long had this idea, Jiang Hao surrendered to the Dashun army and the Qing army, causing many Ming soldiers to flee, some of these Ming soldiers are unwilling to follow the Dashun army, and some are unwilling to be dogs for the Qing army.

Ling Jingyang asked Dong Daqi to lead two hundred soldiers, and Niu Guangtian cooperated with Wang Mu to recruit troops in various places, and the cavalry battalion was still stationed between Guangling County and Hunyuan County at this time.

There are only artillery battalions left in the city, and three hundred directly subordinate troops led by Lao Mantou, Wang Mu is worried that he will be attacked by other rebels in the city, Ling Jingyang said with a smile: "The rebels were defeated and retreated, even if they gather troops and horses to kill back, it will take several days, not to mention those rebels in Datong City, back and forth, how can they get to Guangling City without ten days?" ”

He dared to say this because he knew the rebels in Shanxi, concentrated his forces to attack Taiyuan Mansion, he didn't stir up the sky in the rear of the rebels, the rebels had to burn high incense, and when Leng Rutie and Zhang Luofu captured Guangchang and Lingqiu, they pulled up two troops in the two places, and they didn't need to have a lot of strong combat effectiveness, but they must have momentum, and take the expanded army north to Datong City, so that the rebels fighting on the front line have no intention of fighting and lose their fighting spirit, so that he will be half of the success.

Hearing him say this, Wang Mucai led the troops to recruit troops, Wan Liyun found Yasiha in the city, and told him the intention, Yasiha also wanted to find a backer, the two hit it off, and followed Leng Rutie's troops to attack Guangchang County.

There are not many defenders in Guangchang County, and with the Qing army Zuo Ling and Xizuo were killed, the whole city was in a rumour, Leng Rutie led the soldiers and horses to kill, and before he could speak, he saw the city gate open, and many people pushed carts out of the city.

He was a little stunned, these people who opened the city gate were all businessmen in the city, and their family owners were deceived by Fan Honghuo to Guangling City, Fan Honghuo sent them the clothes and other personal items of the family master a day ago, and asked them to ransom people according to their heads, if they didn't come to redeem people, after the city was broken, other people could not be killed, and the merchant families in Guangling County had to be destroyed.

These merchants were frightened, and when Leng Rutie led the soldiers to kill, the merchants' families hurriedly opened the city gate, and the number of defenders in the city was originally more than 100 people, and they saw that the Dashun army outside the city was well-equipped, so they let the merchants open the city gate, and more than 100 soldiers in the whole army were very happy to become prisoners of the stone camp.

Leng Rutie, who had successfully fought well, felt incredible, and he loaded all the silver donated by the merchants in the city on the cart, and ordered the materials in the city's armory and grain depot to be transported to Guangling City.

After Guangchang County was breached, in the afternoon of the same day, Wang Mu came to Guangchang City with Dong Daqi's soldiers and horses, recruited troops and horses here, and preached to the people that as long as they joined the Dashun army, there would be silver and food every month.

Niu Guangtian and his subordinates did not enter the city, but spread out outside the city, and when the golden gong sounded in the city, Niu Guangtian and his subordinates nodded, and his subordinates changed into people's clothes, walked from the nearby villages to the city, and came to the recruitment point set up by Wang Mu.

Everyone who came to join the army was able to get two taels of silver, and those who didn't want silver were given half a stone of brown rice, and hundreds of people who joined the army had silver and brown rice, and they successfully attracted the people of Guangchang City and the vicinity, and they couldn't live happily.

Wang Mu conscripted troops in Guangchang for three days, got 4,000 young people, a considerable part of the young people are veterans with combat experience, after the end of recruitment, Wang Mu led the conscription team to Lingqiu'an, these young men and the materials in the city were brought to Guangling City by cold as iron.

Wan Liyun and Yasiha were also assigned to eight hundred soldiers, Ling Jingyang and Wang Mu greeted him, to take care of Wan Liyun and help him recruit soldiers, so Wang Mu after recruiting soldiers, he gave Wan Liyun a part, after Wan Liyun got the soldiers and horses, he quickly regained his self-confidence, he selected the soldiers who were previously low-level officers in the recruits, appointed them as the head of the flag, the head of the department, built the army framework in a short time, and then led the troops to the direction of Lingqiu.

Yashar was a little afraid of war, and said to him: "General Wan, we don't have soldiers and horses, why do we still have to go to Lingqiu County, could it be that General Wan wants to train these recruits and let them kill people and see blood?" ”

Wan Liyun has this intention, most of these recruits are crop men, and their legs are trembling when they go to the battlefield, only by going to fight more, can they become veterans, he led the troops to Lingqiu County, and on the way, someone was afraid of the battle and slipped quietly, and was rushed back by Wan Liyun with a trusted officer, not a word of nonsense, all hacked to death, scared other soldiers to follow him honestly to Lingqiu County to participate in the battle.
