Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 196: The Bloody Battle of Taiyuan City (3)

He was enthusiastic and assigned tasks with the generals, but at the same time did not forget Lin Erle, the only general who stood up to support him when Mu Lan humiliated him.

In return, he gave Lin Erle a good task, which was to fight with him, which was also to show the other generals that Lin Erle was his confidant and would have to give face in the future.

After Lin Erle became Jiang Xuan's confidant, he was like a fish in water in the army, but he still wanted to listen to Jingyang in his heart, not because Jiang Xuan was not good enough for him, but because he thought that Jiang Xuan had a full man on his head, no matter how well he mixed it, he was not a dog in the eyes of the Manchurians.

Jiang Xuan is the deputy chief soldier of Datong Mansion, Mu Lan can beat him if he wants, and he whips him like a monkey, he doesn't want to be ridden on his head by a man to and pee, and he still tends to follow Ling Jingyang in his heart.

And after becoming Jiang Xuan's confidant, he was a thorn in the flesh in Mu Lan's eyes, Mu Lan couldn't wait to peel him off, this Manchu Grandmaster Bo Luo came to the city again, and continued to follow the Manchu people, Jiang Xuan has Jiang Xuan to protect, what about him, who will hold him up?

Mu Lan saw that he was not happy, but he was not whipped by him with a horsewhip, but he would be dragged out directly to dig a pit and bury, and he decided to send out the top-secret information of the Qing army's attack on Ling Jingyang.

The henchmen under his hands have just been subdued, and they are not at ease to give the task to these people, so they can only run errands in person.

He and Jiang Xuan asked to assassinate the information of the Dashun Army, and Jiang Xuan readily agreed, although Lin Erle is his confidant, but the henchman must also have strength, and only with strength can others be convinced, and no one will say that he is nepotistic behind his back.

With his acquiescence, Lin Erle led a thousand soldiers to the left guard of Datong to kill.

Ling Jingyang was in the left guard of Datong, and did not arrange a lot of soldiers and horses, but let the cavalry battalion wander here, and the cavalry battalion found that there was a Qing army to kill here, and immediately withdrew to Wei Yuanwei and reported to Ling Jingyang in Wei Yuanwei, at the same time, Li Daoli's subordinate horse armor was also coming to Datong Mansion.

After Ling Jingyang received the information, he ordered the infantry lieutenants of all departments to come to the city for a meeting, and the six lieutenants came to the conference room, Ling Jingyang told them that there were Qing army soldiers and horses attacking the left guard of Datong, Leng Rutie and Ling Jingyang said: "General, our army has been in Datong Mansion for some days, and the Qing army should also have something to say, and the last general thought that he would contact General Li and prepare for retreat." ”

This suggestion is very good, Ling Jingyang also let the cavalry battalion move in the direction of Yanmen Pass, but found that the Qing army set up elite scouts at the junction of Datong Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion, and the cavalry battalion was not strong enough, losing more than ten cavalry, and never broke through to Yanmen Pass.

At this time, Ling Jingyang didn't know whether the battle of Yanmen Pass was the Dashun army repelling the Qing army and achieving victory, or the Qing army had already broken through Yanmen Pass?

Ling Jingyang asked Li Rufeng, the cavalry battalion still has the strength to break through the Qing army blockade line, Li Rufeng rarely shook his head, and Ling Jingyang said that the Qing army has many scouts, and even if the cavalry battalion has a small force that can break through the encirclement, after arriving at Yanmen Pass, it will not have the ability to transmit the information back.

When everyone was in a meeting, Wang Hongfeng, the captain of the cavalry battalion, asked to meet Ling Jingyang outside the door, Ling Jingyang was busy asking his subordinates to invite, and Wang Hong brought the latest information to Ling Jingyang.

"General, it was the Qing Army's Lin Erle Department who attacked Datong, and he led more than 1,000 people to occupy the left guard of Datong yesterday, clamoring to fight with the general again."

After listening to this, Ling Jingyang smiled and said to his subordinates: "Order the soldiers, go and meet Lin Erle for a while." ”

Lin Erle surrendered to Ling Jingyang, many generals actually didn't know that Ling Jingyang led hundreds of soldiers and cavalry to Datong Left Guard, and Lin Erle had been waiting for Ling Jingyang to arrive here.

That night, a scout ran back to the city and reported to him that there was a Dashun army outside the city.

Lin Erle was busy ordering troops to go out of the city to fight, most of his subordinates did not dare to go out of the city to fight, Lin Erle scolded: "If you don't go out, the people are coming, but you will have your heads chopped off." ”

Under his coercion and temptation, the Qing army in the city followed him out of the city to fight, in order not to let others think that he and the Dashun army reported the news, he in front of many generals, let a thousand generals rush back and Jiang Xuan, Boluo reported, there is a Dashun army intends to recapture the Datong left guard, please Bei Zi and the deputy general to send troops to rescue.

Mr. Qian rode a fast horse and disappeared in front of everyone, Lin Erle took his subordinates out of the city and came to the outside of the city, Ling Jingyang had already led the troops to scold outside the city.

Lin Erle yelled: "Rats, come to death again." ”

Ling Jingyang responded to him in the dark, his men were defeated, and he still had the face to fight again?

Lin Erle was furious, snatched a pair of longbows from the hands of his subordinates, pulled out an arrow from the quiver, and shouted in the direction of Ling Jingyang: "Rats, grandpa shot you." ”

After brushing it, the arrow arrow flew in the direction of the Dashun army, because the distance was very far, the arrow was weak and weak to fly into the sky, and there were still dozens of meters away from Ling Jingyang and other Dashun troops.

Ling Jingyang suddenly ordered the whole army to rush forward, Lin Erle hurriedly withdrew with his troops, how could these miscellaneous soldiers have the courage to fight against the Dashun army, after hearing the retreat order, they ran to the city without looking back.

Lin Erle also turned his horse's head and withdrew to the city, although Ling Jingyang ordered a breakthrough, but there were no soldiers and horses to attack, only dozens of cavalry turned around in the open space on the battlefield, and soon after, picked up the arrows shot by Lin Erle.

There was a note tied to the arrow, Ling Jingyang took the note off, opened it and saw that Lin Erle reported to Ling Jingyang on the note that the Qing army soldiers and horses, leading the generals, and the general will launch a full-scale attack in two days.

Ling Jingyang led the troops to retreat, and on the way ordered all troops and horses to assemble in Weiyuanwei, and at the same time asked Li Rufeng to lead the cavalry battalion into Yan'an Mansion, get in touch with the Dashun Army of Yan'an Prefecture, and send the people of Datong Mansion to Shaanxi as much as possible, so that Datong Mansion would be uninhabited for thousands of miles and become an area with no war potential.

At the same time, he ordered all the soldiers and horses to enter the state of preparation, Bolo is a famous general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Ling Jingyang did not dare to be careless, Lin Erle told him in the letter, Bolo led 10,000 troops from the capital this time, and 16,000 soldiers from Datong Mansion, more than 26,000 people in the whole army, 6,000 soldiers and horses stayed in Datong City, and the rest of the soldiers and horses all followed Bolo to attack the Dashun army.

The generals prepared for war in Weiyuanwei, and Ma Kai finally returned to Datong Mansion from Taiyuan City, he ran around in Datong Mansion, and did not find Ling Jingyang's shadow in Guangling County, Lingqiu County, Wei County and other places, and finally couldn't find any other way, leading his subordinates to risk death to raid a checkpoint near Hunyuan City of the Qing army, and after eliminating dozens of Qing soldiers, he put the knife on the neck of the Qing soldiers who were still alive, and asked them if they had a Dashun army fighting in Datong Mansion recently?

How did the captured Qing soldiers know this, they shook their heads one by one, begging not to kill them, Ma Kai stabbed one by one, and only one Qing soldier was left to kill, kneeling on the ground and trembling, he and Ma Kai said: "This general, the small one is just eating with a mouthful, and after being pulled into a strong ding, he set up a card here, and he didn't fight with your army." ”

"Damn, there aren't many checkpoints along the way, why are there checkpoints near Datong City?"

Ma Kai once again raised the big knife, ready to understand the life of this Qing soldier, the Qing soldier hurriedly replied to him, they also set up a card here a few days ago, and said that there was a Manchu prince from the capital, and the card was set up here to protect the Manchu prince.

Ma Kai was confused and asked him, "What prince?" ”

Qing Bing really didn't know, Ma Kai squinted his eyes, and said to his subordinates: "When the Manchu prince comes to Datong City, there must be an important military action, let's take a look near Datong City, maybe Ling Jingyang is there." ”

The Qing soldier looked at Ma Kai with hope, expecting to let him go, Ma Kai looked at this Qing soldier, an ordinary person, waved his hand, and let him go back.

This Qing soldier was very grateful, and hurriedly ran out, Ma Kai and his subordinates shook their heads, and the subordinates understood, pulled out their waist knives and slashed them hard, and the big knife cut off the neck of the Qing soldiers, and the Qing soldiers died when they landed.

Ma Kai then led his subordinates to Datong City, found the local people, and finally heard that there was a Dashun army operating in Weiyuanwei, so he led the troops to Weiyuanwei.

In Weiyuan Acropolis self-reported home, today's general defending the city is Zhu Youzhen, he has a dark face, looking at Ma Kai under the city, knowing that this person is Li Daoli's subordinate, he came to Datong City, he must have brought information about the Dashun army in Yanmen Pass.

Zhu Youzhen personally welcomed Ma Kai into the city, and then took Ma Kai to meet Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang hurriedly summoned Ma Kai, after seeing Ma Kai, everyone had an indescribable feeling in their hearts, just like a long-lost child, as cordial as seeing relatives.

Ma Kai stepped forward, saluted with everyone, and said: "General Ling, my lords, the last general will come from Taiyuan City, General Li will lead the rear camp, General Liu will lead the left battalion to garrison Taiyuan City, General Li will order you brothers and brothers to lead his troops south, if there are dangers along the way, go west to Yan'an Mansion." ”

Ma Kai didn't know that Taiyuan City had been captured by the Qing army, and after listening to Ling Jingyang, he couldn't make up his mind, and looked at the generals, who were silent, and they all wanted to go to Taiyuan City and meet the other half of the troops.

The distance from Datong Mansion to Taiyuan City is too far, there are still a large number of Qing troops on the way, after two days, Bolo will lead the army to attack Weiyuanwei, at this time lead the troops to Taiyuan City, and will be caught up by the Qing army on the way, and the whole army may be scattered and annihilated by the Qing army.

Ling Jingyang decided to continue the battle with the Qing army in Datong Mansion, and did not let Bo Luo lead his troops to support the battle of Taiyuan City and reduce the defensive pressure of Taiyuan City.

Shi Ying chose to continue to fight in Datong Mansion, which made Bo Luo rejoice, he was really afraid that the Dashun army would retreat from Datong Mansion to Shaanxi, and after the soldiers and horses of each department completed the supply and mobilization, Bo Luo led the whole army to kill Wei Yuanwei, and at the same time Mu Lan also made a secret report to him.

Tell Bolo all about the contradictions between him and Jiang Xuan and Lin Erle, and ask Bolo to kill the two of them for him, Bolo snorted coldly: "Mu Lan, don't go too far, I still need these lackeys to take the lead for us, if we force them to be anxious, they will also bite." ”
