Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 185: Raid on Datong City (6)

Jiang Xuan's anger dissipated a little, but he was still not relieved, and Azig said that he would go back to Datong City tomorrow to appease Jiang Xuan and the soldiers left behind, of course Azig would not agree to him go back, and said with him in a friendly face: "General Jiang, the battle of Yanmen Pass is fierce, I will go back and demote Mu Lan, we don't want to hurt the peace for these little things." ”

Generals such as Turai and Wang Chengyun on the side are also persuading Jiang Jiu Mo to go back, and the Yanmen Pass guards do not have much food and grass, and if they continue to attack these days, they can break through Yanmen Pass, eliminate the Dashun army, and the whole army will go south to Taiyuan Mansion, drive the Dashun army to barren Shaanxi, and complete the strategic victory.

Jiang Hao nodded reluctantly, and said to Azig: "Our army will be the vanguard tomorrow, continue to attack Yanmen Pass, and ask the prince to behead Mu Lan angrily, boost the morale of our army, and our army will swear to break through Yanmen Pass." ”

The expression on Azig's face froze a little, and Turai was busy and muddy.

"General Jiang Bing, we will lay down the Yanmen Pass, and when we turn around, we will exile Mu Lan, and please ask General Jiang not to be like a villain."

Jiang Hao saw that Turai was soft, and thought that Turai was also a high-ranking general of the Manchu Dynasty, so he sat down and hugged his fists with Azig and said: "Lord Wang, please rest assured, tomorrow our troops and horses will break through the Yanmen Pass." ”

Azig didn't say anything cool, but he didn't say some words of victory, the atmosphere became harmonious, and the generals continued to drink together, until late at night, Jiang Hao returned to the barracks to sleep with the support of his own soldiers, and when he went back, Azig, Tulai, and Wang Chengyun had very strange expressions on their faces.

Wang Chengyun and Jiang Liang are both the general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but the two are worlds apart in the eyes of the Manchurians, who made Wang Chengyun Xuanfu Town soldiers and horses inferior to Jiang Jiu Datongfu soldiers and horses, in the minds of the Manchurians, they belong to the second-class general soldiers, that is, follow the team to fight the autumn wind.

Turai and Wang Chengyun said meaningfully: "General Jiang's position, General Bing Wang can also take his place." ”

After finishing speaking, Turai and the two of them retired and went back to the barracks to rest, leaving Wang Chengyun behind, looking at the drunken Azig, a little overwhelmed, he also returned to the barracks, summoned Hong Demao, and Hong Demao talked about Jiang Xuan's gaffe tonight, as well as what Tulai said to him.

Hong Demao was more shrewd than him, and as soon as he heard it, he heard the doorway, and said softly to him: "This Jiang Jiu is also a wall grass, and he is a thug in the Manchurians, and when the world is stable, how can the Manchurians let Jiang Jiu and other military leaders continue to lead the army, we must also be leisurely, in case we are overshadowed by the Manchurians." ”

At first, Wang Chengyun thought that Turai would let him take Jiang Jiu's place and make him happy, but when he heard Hong Demao say this, Wang Chengyun immediately sobered up, and it seemed that he still had to stay away from the army and the core of power, so as to prevent being killed by the manchurian rabbits and lackeys.

He admired Hong Demao very much, and asked him to keep the military camp and Jiang Jiu's military camp away these days, so as not to cause Jiang Huang to make trouble and wash their military camp.

Hong Demao obediently obeyed the order, but he didn't know that his few words made Turai's plan fail, and Turai said that he wanted to make a gap between Wang Chengyun and Jiang Jiu, but he was broken by his words.

Turai was still complacent in the military camp at this time, he thought that Wang Chengyun would covet Jiang Jiu's position as the chief soldier of Datong Mansion, and perhaps tomorrow he could see the contradiction between Wang Chengyun and Jiang Jiu.

Early the next morning, Jiang Hao led his troops to prepare for the siege of the city, and before the siege, he summoned Lin Erle and said to Lin Erle: "You go back first, let Jiang Xuan's kid endure a little, and wait for Lao Tzu to beat the Yanmen Pass, and let the county king exile Mu Lan's grandson when he goes back." ”

Lin Erle thought that Jiang Hao was still sulking, but he didn't expect that Jiang Huang's attitude was very different from last night, and he couldn't turn a corner, not only that, Jiang Hao also asked him to leave the troops behind, and only went back with a few henchmen.

Although he robbed Lin Erle's army, Jiang Hao also gave Lin Erle a date, made him a general of Datong Mansion, and ordered him to lead his troops and horses to Datong City to garrison and become Jiang Xuan's right-hand man, lest Jiang Xuan be overtaken by Mu Lan and have no soldiers and horses available.

Before the Qing army attacked, Lin Erle went to Lingqiu City with Jiang Jiu's appointment and a small number of henchmen, he wanted to bring the troops of Lingqiu City back to Datong City, only if he had soldiers and horses in his hands, he would not be pinched around.

After Lin Erle left, Jiang Hao began to attack the city, the first wave of siege troops was the miscellaneous soldiers brought by Lin Erle, although these miscellaneous soldiers were all soldiers of Datong Mansion, but in Jiang Liang's eyes, they were cannon fodder, let them consume the physical strength and weapons and ammunition of the Dashun army, and the second wave of offensive troops was the real elite troops.

He wanted Azig and other Manchurian generals to see that his troops were the forces that could be relied on, and as for Wang Chengyun's soldiers and horses, they were the last troops that the mud could not support the wall.

The siege battle soon began, Li Guo led the troops to continue to defend in Yanmen Pass, his soldiers and horses still have more than 10,000 people, grain and grass can still support half a month, but can not continue to fight, the night before yesterday, he and the generals discussed to continue to hold on for half a month, half a month later the whole army to Tongguan to break through.

I thought that I could continue to hold on to the Qing army for half a month, but this morning the Qing army suddenly launched an attack, so that Li Guo could not understand the true intentions of the Qing army, and watched a group of tattered soldiers of the Qing army rush up to die, and ordered all troops and horses to fight.

There is no accident, the first attack of the Qing army was defeated, Li Guo thought that the Qing army would not attack the city today, but then the Qing army was like crazy, launched an attack from the east and west sides at the same time, the offensive momentum was very fierce, Li Guo was forced to order the whole army to fight, he led the main force of the rear battalion to fight with the Qing army in the front, Li Daoli and Lu Yingbiao soldiers and horses were stationed on the west side, and Shiying and Gao Yigong troops and horses were stationed on the east side,

The two armies fought fiercely for a morning, with countless casualties, Azig ordered the Hongyi artillery to join the siege team, and dozens of artillery pieces bombarded Yanmen Pass, killing and wounding many Jiang Xuan's soldiers and horses in the attack.

Jiang Xuan didn't care so much, he had to break through the gate today, eliminate the Dashun army, and save face for Jiang Xuan in Datong City.

Azig was also confused by these Ming troops, these Ming people were really ruthless in fighting themselves, he saw Jiang Huang's troops carrying ladders and battering rams to storm the city wall, many soldiers rushed up, even if they died, they had to roll down with the Dashun army.

Jiang Huang attacked for a morning, still did not break through the Yanmen Pass, but caused thousands of casualties in the Dashun army, he ordered to retreat, after lunch to continue the siege, Jiang Rang said to him: "Enough, if you continue to fight, you and I will become widows and orphans, let Wang Chengyun and other green battalion soldiers." ”

Jiang Hao immediately rode a horse to Azig, asking for the mobilization of other troops and horses to attack Yanmen Pass, Azig just wanted to agree, and Tulai on the side said: "Jiang Zongbing, your soldiers and horses continue to attack, after the city is broken, the soldiers and horses of General Wang's troops and Dashun army will continue to fight, and your troops and horses can rest." ”
