Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 195: The Bloody Battle of Taiyuan City (2)

The Dashun army broke through by surprise, intending to take the Qing army by surprise, but who is Azig, is a first-class general of the Qing army, although the siege is not attacked, the encirclement point is reinforced, but also thought that the Dashun army may choose to break through, ordered the soldiers and horses to take turns to rest during the day and night, and always keep half of the army at night with the ability to fight quickly, the Dashun army just went out of the city, he accurately judged that the Dashun army chose the whole army to break through, and decisively ordered the cavalry out of the camp.

The cavalry of the Qing army was dispatched to chase the Qing army, and the Dashun army also had cavalry, under the leadership of Liu Rukui, bravely met and blocked the Qing cavalry from chasing and killing, and the cavalry on both sides was mixed up, and the cavalry and horses were constantly killed.

The cavalry fight was only a corner of the battlefield, Azig ordered Turai to lead the troops to pursue, after receiving the military order, Turai led the 8,000 Qing army to attack, the Dashun army intended to break through, not in the slightest love of war, and retreated to Linfen at full speed.

At this time, the artillery of the Qing army began to exert its might, towards the road of the Dashun army to break through is a fierce bombardment, the shells fell in the team of the Dashun army to break through, the bombers turned on their horses, many Dashun soldiers were so frightened that they ran away from the ranks to both sides, and Turai led the troops to kill quickly, and hacked the Dashun soldiers who were behind to death.

Liu Fangliang rode on a horse, endured his injuries, and ordered to continue to break through, he knew that if he was caught up by the Qing army, the entire team would be wiped out by the Qing army, even at this critical juncture, he did not forget to let people tell Chen Yongfu that he had led his troops to break through.

The task of going to Chen Yongfu's department was personally carried out by Liu Xiyao, the deputy general of the left battalion, who led two hundred elite cavalry to break through to the southeast, trying to find Chen Yongfu's reinforcements on the road, this small-scale breakthrough force did not attract the attention of the Qing army, and the Qing army was still chasing the main force of the Dashun army with all its might, and Liu Xiyao was able to break out of the encirclement and run wildly to the southeast.

The Dashun army continued to break through, Liu Fangliang continued to order the troops to break the back, each broken force is nine deaths, although the loss of a large number of broken troops, but the main force gradually opened up the distance with the Qing army, Liu Rukui in the Qing cavalry melee after a fight, saw the main force outstanding encirclement, but also with the rest of the cavalry rushed out of the encirclement, to the direction of the large army to catch up.

Turai asked for pursuit, but Azig told him not to worry, he had already asked Jiang Hao to lead his troops and horses to lay an ambush on the road to break through the Dashun army, just waiting for the Dashun army to rush into the pocket and annihilate them all.

After the Dashun army in Taiyuan City broke through, Azig ordered Wang Chengyun's troops to attack the undefended Taiyuan City, and he led other soldiers and horses to watch Jiang Jiu's battle against Liu Fangliang.

Because of the big victory just achieved, the whole Qing army was very comfortable, as if it was not going to fight, but to watch a big show.

Liu Fangliang thought that he got rid of the Qing army's pursuit of the troops, and led the troops to the direction of Linfen, because of the large number of troops, it was not only easy to walk away from the small road, but also affected the speed, Liu Fangliang was forced to lead the whole army to walk on the official road, walked for two days and one night, and arrived at Jiaocheng, which was already a scorched earth, and everyone was tired, and they entered Jiaocheng one after another, resting on the ruins in the city,

Jiang Hao three days ago, led his soldiers and horses to ambush here, since the surrender of the Qing army, followed Azignam to fight in the north, was repeatedly beaten, although he defeated the Dashun army several times, but he always felt that the Qing army was not strong, if he did not propose to persuade Tang Tong to surrender, he would continue to be excluded.

And this time is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, annihilating the breakthrough troops of the Dashun Army, which can leave a good impression on the Manchurians, and some of the previous unhappiness will also disappear.

Jiang Hao's heart was surging, and he and his subordinates issued a killing order, killing every Dashun army and civilians he saw, killing a sentry with a total reward of ten taels of silver, killing generals above the captain, and rewarding five hundred taels of silver.

They ambushed near Jiaocheng, and after breaking through to Jiaocheng, the Dashun army rested in Jiaocheng, and after dark, Jiang Hao led tens of thousands of troops to quietly attack, he pulled out his waist knife, and waved forward, tens of thousands of troops stepped on the same footsteps, and rushed to Jiaocheng with weapons.

Jiaocheng is in ruins, only the broken and dotted city walls, the Qing army is like falling from the sky, the autumn wind sweeps the leaves and the scout troops of the Dashun army outside the city are all wiped out, and then rush into the city, kill people when they see them, and rob things when they see them.

The surprise attack of the Qing army brought great casualties to the Dashun army, Liu Fangliang always remained calm, the Qing army could launch a surprise attack tonight, it must have been ambushed here a long time ago, he ordered to continue to disperse and break through, the picture shows that in the future, the whole army was assembled in Linfen.

After the order to disperse and break out, the Dashun army fought separately, although the intensity of resistance decreased, casualties increased, but increased the success of the breakthrough, many troops buried their heads in the outward, Liu Fangliang in the breakthrough, Bai Lushui with him, led two thousand infantry to the south to break through.

Because of the large number of people at night, the Qing army killed a large number of Dashun soldiers and civilians, and robbed the Dashun army's supplies clean, but one-third of the Dashun army and civilians successfully broke through.

After dawn, Jiang Hao came to the battlefield and saw the corpses all over the ground, as well as the prisoners of the Dashun army who kept begging for mercy, and he ordered them all to be killed, and the hundreds of captured Dashun soldiers fell to the ground in an instant.

He said to Jiang Rang: "Have you killed the generals of the Dashun Army?" ”

Jiang asked the generals to take a look, and after a while, the generals came over with dozens of heads, these are the generals of the Dashun army and above, Jiang Hao was very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates, in the raid last night, the Dashun army built a city with very large casualties.

But among these heads, there is no head of the senior generals of the Dashun army, and the Qing army did not continue to pursue the Dashun army, they all know that the destination of the retreat is Linfen, as long as you attack Linfen, you can wipe out most of the Dashun army in Shanxi.

In the Dashun army that broke out, Liu Fangliang led Liu Rukui and other more than 1,000 remnants of soldiers to Linfen to break through, Zhang Neng led Gao Yigong, Lu Yingbiao, Qin Lie and other thousands of soldiers and horses also broke out of the encirclement and rushed to Linfen.

Liu Zhong's vanguard also had hundreds of people breaking through the encirclement and retreating to Fenzhou, only one unit suffered the greatest losses, that is, Ling Jingyang's Shiying troops, after Huang Daozhong and Qin Lie were pulled away by Zhang Neng, the Shiying army and civilians lost their strong military protection.

Only Wang Bao led hundreds of subordinates to cover the common people to break through with flesh and blood, Mi Shengguang, as well as Ximen Zhu, Jin Dashou and others cooperated with Wang Bao to organize the team to retreat to the north, because of the lack of army protection, this team of thousands of people suffered the greatest loss, and only more than 900 people rushed out of the team of thousands of people, and Wang Bao and his subordinates were left with more than 80 people, still protecting the large army to break through to the north.

On the way to retreat, Wang Bao and Mi Shengguang said: "Without Lord Ling, we are like motherless babies, don't follow the back camp, go to Datong Mansion, and meet Lord Ling." ”

In this battle, the Qing army won a complete victory, eliminating the main force of the Dashun army in Jiaocheng, although it did not kill the senior generals of the Dashun army, but it was a sweaty victory, Azig led the large army to Jiaocheng in a leisurely manner, and saw Jiang Xuan's troops cleaning the battlefield from afar, and the battlefield was almost full of corpses of the Dashun army.

Jiang Huang came to Azig to ask for credit, Azig didn't give Jiang Huang a face this time, and said with a pleasant face: "General Jiang Bing, I am a pillar of the Qing Dynasty, this time to eliminate most of the main forces of the Dashun army in Shanxi, you are the first merit." ”

Jiang Hao modestly said that this was the victory only because the king of the county led the group, and Azig did not waste too much time, and ordered the whole army to continue to approach Pingyang Mansion, eliminate the Yuan Zongdi here, and force Tang Tong to surrender.

As for Chen Yongfu on the Changzhi side and Liu Zhong in Fenzhou, Azig asked Boluo to eliminate the Dashun army of Datong Prefecture and take full command of the elimination of the Dashun army in these two places.

......

Taiyuan Prefecture Dashun army was defeated, Ling Jingyang was unable to support in Datong Mansion alone, looted near Datong City, and brought tens of thousands of people in Datong Mansion to Shanxi and Shanxi Junction, Ling Jingyang planned to bring all these people to Shaanxi, and use the people of Shanxi to enrich the population of Shaanxi.

Jiang Xuan and Mu Lan are still in the city to be shrinking turtles, Lin Erle also returned to Lingqiu County not long ago, bringing Lingqiu County soldiers and horses back to Datong City, he was appointed by Jiang Hao this time, Mu Lan had no reason to drive him away, he could only pinch his nose, and angrily watched Lin Erle with a group of tattered soldiers eating, drinking and having fun in the city.

Lin Erle did everything he could to disgust Mu Lan in the city, and he also hooked up with Jiang Xuan from time to time, there were many Jiang Xuan generals in Datong City who were dissatisfied with Mu Lan, and Mu Lan also knew that these green battalion generals, especially Jiang Xuan, hated him to the bone, but he was not afraid, Bo Luo was coming soon, Bo Luo was a clan, or Beizi, and he led 10,000 troops from the capital to support half a month ago.

Bolo followed Azig to attack Yanmen Pass at the beginning, and was later transferred back to the capital, leading 10,000 elite soldiers to support Datong Mansion to fight, on the way he didn't understand very much, there were about 20,000 Qing troops in Datong City, why did they shrink in the city and dare not go out of the city to fight?

It wasn't until he arrived in Datong City and took a turn in the military camp in the city that he understood that Mu Lan and Jiang Xuan didn't dare to go out of the city to fight, there were more than 10,000 Qing troops in the city, but most of them were third-rate troops, think about it, the elite soldiers and strong generals of Datong Mansion all followed Jiang Hao to Taiyuan Mansion, and the rest were the last troops, and many of the green battalion soldiers were a group of armed people carrying big swords and spears, and they didn't know where to grab the strong men?

He and Jiang Xuan ordered to prepare for the expedition within three days to wipe out the Dashun army in Datong City, Jiang Xuan couldn't stand Ling Jingyang's rampage in Datong Mansion for a long time, and after getting the order, he immediately returned to the barracks, and at the same time got rid of Mu Lan's shackles on him.

Summoning the generals in the barracks, the generals announced that Bolo would launch a fierce battle against the Dashun army in three days, and that all the troops and horses should be ready, bring supplies, weapons and ammunition, and drive away all the Dashun troops who had robbed the supplies and population in Shanxi.

He didn't talk about annihilating the Dashun army, because he didn't have that strength, if the Dashun army retreated to Shaanxi, he wouldn't dare to enter Shaanxi, and fight in the base camp of the Dashun army, I was afraid that there would be no bones left.
