Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 178: Infighting (2)
Lingqiu County, the guard general Lin Erle led hundreds of remnants to defend the city, the day before yesterday there were people from Guangling City, threw down a bunch of clothes and objects under the city, saying that the merchants in the city were in Guangling City, and if they wanted to live, they took the silver to Guangchang City to redeem people.
After finishing speaking, Fan Honghuo didn't go back, he wanted to go back to Duguangling City, waiting for these people to send silver, not only that, but then Zhang Luofu and Murong Tu led the troops to arrive, and the two of them were ingenious, and brought the Qing army's leader and the head of the fine work, and they should be regarded as under the city with a bamboo pole.
Lin Erle took a look, isn't this the top general of the Qing army in the city, he didn't know this Qing army leader before, and when Jiang Jiu completely surrendered to the Qing army, the Qing army used the base camp to transfer this leader, responsible for all military affairs and intelligence in Lingqiu City, a few days ago, the leader said that he was going to Guangling City, but this time, it was a head who came back.
Lin Erle did not dare to surrender to the Dashun army, he was afraid that his head would also hang on the bamboo pole, and ordered the whole army to defend the city, he believed that Jiang Hao would not sit idly by, there was a Dashun army operating in the rear, as long as Jiang Jiu led the reinforcements back, these Dashun troops would withdraw.
He shouted on the city wall, he had the ability to let the horse come, and if he opened the city gate, he would be a grandson.
There were more and more Dashun troops under the city, Murong Tu's department, Zhang Luo's auxiliary department, and the recruits brought by Wan Liyun, the three armies surrounded Lingqiu City, and finally Wang Mu and Dong Daqi also led the conscription team to Lingqiu City, waiting for the merchants in the city to open the city gate and ransom their masters.
Lin Erle ordered in the city, if anyone dares to open the city gate, he will destroy the whole family, under his high pressure, no one dares to open the city gate during the day, but at night, the families of the merchants in the city organized the family, sneaked to the side of the city wall, and gave a large bag of silver to the rebels defending the city.
Lin Erle was still asleep, suddenly woke up, his subordinates hurriedly ran over, told him that he didn't know what was going on, the gate of the city was opened, the Dashun army outside the city rushed into the city like a flood, the rebels outside could not resist, after losing dozens of people, they began to collapse and surrender, Lin Erle took dozens of subordinates to hide in the cellar inside the city, praying that the Dashun army would leave after grabbing.
After the rebels surrendered, Wan Liyun still led his subordinates to kill in the city, many recruits went to the battlefield for the first time, they were scared and trembling, and they chased and killed the rebel soldiers under the command of the veterans, and many rebels who had surrendered were killed by Wan Liyun's subordinates.
Murong Tu was very dissatisfied, he came to Wan Liyun with his own soldiers, and reprimanded angrily: "Wandu Captain, these have all surrendered, why do you still want to kill, no wonder your subordinates have left you." ”
It's okay if he doesn't say it, as soon as he speaks, Wan Liyun's new hatred and old hatred swelled up in his heart, and all his remaining subordinates defected to Murong Tu, making him lose face in Shiying, and now he is doing his duty again, he shouldn't kill the prisoners, but if he doesn't kill the prisoners, the recruits will always be recruits, and the veterans have all been eaten by Murong Tu, how can he not be angry?
"Murong Tu, what kind of green onion are you, Lao Tzu's soldiers went to your barracks, are you the last ghost?"
Of course, Murong Tu knew that Wan Liyun's subordinates had come down to join him, but Wan Liyun was nondescript in Shiying, and his subordinates were not the only ones who took refuge in him, and they surrendered to Zhang Luofu and other military camps, so why didn't they have anything to do with him?
"Wanliyun, you have no way to govern the army, and you still have the face to talk about me?"
Yashar followed Wan Liyun, seeing Murong Tu humiliating Wan Liyun, he pulled out his waist knife with a brush, Murong Tu's subordinate Jiang Tai also held a spear, and the subordinates on both sides gathered over, the recruits recruited by Wan Liyun wanted to behave in front of the general, most of them saw blood for the first time, and they were all in a frenzy to force Na Yuan, as long as Wan Liyun gave an order, these recruits would not hesitate to fight with Murong Tu's subordinates.
Fortunately, Zhang Luofu and Leng Rutie came with troops to separate the two armies, Zhang Luofu and Wan Liyun said: "There is food in the city, take it away quickly, don't fight here." ”
Leng Rutie also said to Murong Tu: "You have eaten some of the soldiers and horses of Wandu Captain, there is no need to get cheap and sell well." ”
Under the persuasion of Zhang Luofu and Leng Rutie, Wan Liyun finally separated from Murong Tu, the two led their subordinates to desperately rob the supplies in the city, the common people cried in the city and grabbed the land, and some merchants' families took their families to rob other merchants, the order in the city was in chaos, Lin Erle, who was hiding in the cellar, once again entangled the rebels, set off a riot in the city, killed dozens of stone camp soldiers, and took advantage of the chaos to break out and run wildly in the direction of Hunyuan City.
A good and decent city-breaking battle, stunned by Wan Liyun and Murong Tu into a scuffle, Wang Mu and others took a lot of effort to barely stabilize the order, and after dawn, the people in the city were killed and injured nearly 1,000 people, and let Lin Erle lead his subordinates to break through.
None of this is important, what makes Wang Mu sad is that the Dashun army looted supplies in the city last night, causing many casualties in the city, and the people in the city almost lost trust in the Dashun army.
He was in the city of the conscription point can be a lot of birds, a morning did not have a person to defect to the Dashun army, he posted a notice in the city, defected to the Dashun army reward ten taels of silver, still no one enlisted, Wang Mu angry want to scold people, as a last resort, had to recruit soldiers in the nearby villages, under the temptation of silver and grain and grass, finally recruited hundreds of people, but these hundreds of people compared with the young and strong in Guangchang County, not at the same level.
After everyone completed the task of breaking through Lingqiu and Guangchang City, they returned to Guangling City with their troops, and on the way back, Wan Liyun and Murong Tu were incompatible, and the two armies were separated by Zhang Luo's auxiliary department, otherwise they would fight all the way to Guangling City.
After returning to Guangling City, the city is going on a redemption meeting, many merchant families sent silver, to redeem their family owners, some families are more emotional, and the next people who came with the family master are redeemed together, but there are also some families who are stingy, only redeem the owner of the family, others are left to fend for themselves, such families are not a few, the next people are also cold, did not redeem them, waiting for the Dashun army ghost head knife to fall.
All the merchants in the city were ransomed, Ling Jingyang got 50,000 taels of silver, he was very generous to let these merchants go back, and then came to the people who were not redeemed, these people are subordinates or guards and other roles, no one wants to redeem them, which means that they are abandoned, only waiting for death.
But Ling Jingyang waved his hand and asked them if they were willing to follow the Dashun army, these people thought they were dead, but when they heard Ling Jingyang's words, they suddenly had the hope of living, and they thought of being abandoned by the head of the family, and they were angry one by one, and they naturally became the hardcore force of Shiying.
