Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 182: Raid on Datong City (3)
The road is very smooth, there are still more than 500 steps from the gate, and I was about to rush out, suddenly, the old steamed bun with more than 50 soldiers rushed over from one side, chasing and shouting, someone escaped, kill!
"Frightened" Lin Erle rushed forward with a dagger, and his subordinates also followed him closely, hundreds of people rushed forward, how could dozens of people such as Lao Mantou be blocked, and they were soon rushed over by the captives, and then Dong Daqi took dozens of people and slashed the captives frantically with the back of a knife, and chopped them down, dozens of captives were cut and fell to the ground, and most of them still followed Lin Erle to the gate of the city.
The captives tried their best to open the city gate, Lin Erle and his subordinates ran wildly outside the city, behind them, it was Li Rufeng who led the cavalry battalion to chase and kill, this time Li Rufeng was a dead hand, but he ordered his subordinates not to chase and kill Lin Erle's large army, and shot the prisoners who did not retreat with Lin Erle, and Lin Erle was not a prisoner with one heart.
Lin Erle had wind in his ears, he knew that he would not die, but he also had to play the play enough, in the breakthrough, he used a dagger to scratch many Dashun army soldiers, and ran all the way until dawn, leaving more than 190 soldiers to follow him, and the others were either killed by the cavalry battalion, or did not break out of the city.
He led these subordinates to Datong City, and on the way gathered some remnants of the defeated generals, and when they arrived at Datong City, there were more than 400 people.
The defenders in the city were a little surprised to see Lin Erle come back with a group of tattered soldiers, Jiang Xuan and Mu Lan disagreed after learning about it, Mu Lan meant that there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Datong City, and there was no need for reinforcements from other places, there were more reinforcements, and there was not enough food and grass in the city.
And Jiang Xuan felt ashamed, and insisted on letting Lin Erle's troops and horses enter the city, after all, Lin Erle was defeated by the Dashun army on the way to support Datong City, although Mu Lan was the highest general in the city, but it was not easy to refuse Jiang Xuan in this matter, he didn't speak, let Jiang Xuan watch it.
If you don't speak, you acquiesce, Jiang Xuan took her subordinates to meet Lin Erle outside the city, Lin Erle saw Jiang Xuan, went through the prepared lines in his mind, and then knelt in front of Jiang Xuan with a handful of snot and tears.
"General Jiang, my troops are wronged."
Jiang Xuan was very unhappy when he heard this, if Mu Lan hadn't let him, he would have led his troops out of the city to rescue Lin Erle's soldiers and horses, he was very dissatisfied with Mu Lan covering the sky in the city.
"Lin Erle, it's good to come back alive?"
Lin Erle said to him: "Chief soldier, I have fled back from Weiyuanwei, the Dashun army only has thousands of soldiers and horses in Weiyuanwei, we have the strength to eat them, why do you have to watch my subordinates die?" ”
Hearing that the Dashun army only had thousands of soldiers and horses, Jiang Xuan's eyes rolled and said to him, "How did you rush out?" ”
Lin Erle really thanked Ling Jingyang in his heart, and told Jiang Xuan that he led the captives in the city to kill them in the middle of the night, more than 500 captives, and there were only so many people left, and the others were either killed or did not rush out.
Jiang Xuan didn't agree with him immediately, but suddenly said meaningfully: "We have become slaves with three surnames, and we will hang on the pillar of historical shame in the future." ”
These words made Lin Erle a little confused, but he had already decided to throw himself into Ling Jingyang, and he had to make some achievements to show Ling Jingyang, he and Jiang Xuan suggested that if they continued to let the Dashun army gallop in Datong Mansion, even if they waited for reinforcements to come to help, Datong Mansion would only have a little bit of Datong City left, and other places would be uninhabited.
Jiang Xuan thinks about it, but he is just a deputy commander-in-chief, and the real boss of Datong Mansion is his brother Jiang Xuan, and Jiang Xuan is still besieging Yanmen Pass with Azig, even if he has monstrous grievances, he can't show it.
"Lin Erle, you go back and rest, I will replenish your soldiers and horses, don't say what you said today in the future."
After Lin Erle was sent away, Jiang Xuan sat in the room alone and sulked, he couldn't figure it out, Jiang Xuan, as the coach of Datong Mansion, betrayed Daming and surrendered Dashun, if it wasn't for Zhang Tianlin's protection, he was almost killed by Li Zicheng, but later betrayed Li Zicheng, killed his life-saving benefactor Zhang Tianlin, and surrendered to Daqing.
He was not allowed to drink alcohol in the army, but he drank so much that he slept in the room the next morning, and after Mu Lan got the news, he took the generals in the city and carried a horse whip to Jiang Xuan's room.
kicked open the door, crackled and smoked, Jiang Xuan yelled, jumped around, very embarrassed, the generals in his room also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, some generals still wanted to laugh, they were happy to see Jiang Xuan as the deputy chief soldier of Datong Mansion, or Jiang Xuan's younger brother, but he was whipped by the Manchurians like beating monkeys.
After Mu Lan vented his anger, he said to his subordinates: "If anyone drinks alcohol in the future, it will be like Jiang Zongbing, Ben Zuoling will let him feed his head to the dog." ”
After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan was beaten and sat on the bed, looking at the ceiling with empty eyes, no general dared to talk to him, they were afraid that the Manchurians would be whipped like this, and no one comforted him, after Mu Lan left, the other generals also followed Mu Lan.
In the end, only Lin Erle quietly came to Jiang Xuan's room, helped Jiang Xuan up, and said to him: "Jiang Zongbing, can't bear this breath?" ”
Jiang Xuan's eyes suddenly showed a trace of murderous intent, and he suddenly said to Lin Erle: "Lin Erle, are you in contact with the Dashun Army?" ”
Lin Erle was stunned for a moment, and said that he was born as Jiang Zongbing's person, and when he died, he was also Jiang Zongbing's ghost.
"Don't mention the two soldiers, Lao Tzu is not worthy."
Jiang Xuan endured his anger, and then Mu Lan's personal soldiers came to Jiang Xuan's room and said to him: "Zuo Ling is invited, and Jiang General is invited to go to the barracks to discuss matters." ”
I slapped Jiang Xuan just now, and now I let Jiang Xuan go to a meeting, isn't this a slap in the face?
But Jiang Xuan had to go again, he put on his armor and came to the barracks, Mu Lan saw him coming alone, and said to the other generals: "Everyone is together, let's discuss how to garrison Datong City, don't let the thieves outside the city break the city." ”
He still didn't want to recover the other acropolis of Datong Mansion, and let the Dashun army turn Datong Mansion into an empty mansion, Jiang Xuan glanced at him and knew that he didn't have the right to speak, but Mu Lan humiliated him again.
"General Jiang, tell me how our army should garrison Datong City, if everyone drinks and has fun like you, this Datong City will not be guarded, just give it to the thief."
This was another naked slap in the face, Jiang Xuan was so angry that his face turned blue, he couldn't hold back anymore, but Mu Lan said again: "General Jiang Bing, there is not enough food and grass in the city, but you let the defeated army enter the city, do you think that there is too much food and grass in the city to eat?" ”
