Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 198: The Remnants of the Stone Camp (2)
Jiang Xuan's subordinates were defeated by the surprise attack of the Dashun army, and if his subordinates hadn't dragged Jiang Xuan to retreat, he would even have been captured by the Dashun army, becoming the first deputy general of the Qing army to be captured by the Dashun army. soldier
After Jiang Xuan withdrew, the 5,000 rabble was almost disorganized and completely dispersed, only more than 1,000 people retreated with Jiang Xuan, and the other Qing soldiers were either killed or became routed.
The Dashun army pursued and killed all the way, and Jiang Xuan, who was killed, had no ability to gather the remnants of the army, until the killed were torn apart, and there were more and more corpses on the ground, and more Qing soldiers threw away their weapons and became prisoners of the Dashun army.
The Dashun army was killed for a long time, and in the afternoon, Jiang Xuan was left with five thousand Qing soldiers and dozens of Qing soldiers to retreat to the left guard of Datong.
After the battle, Leng Rutie, under the leadership of Li Rufeng, visited Li Daowei, and Li Daowei looked at the captains under Ling Jingyang, and praised them again and again.
Ling Jingyang went from a sentry general to a general Zuo Weiwu, if the golden scales were really a thing in the pool, he wanted to praise Ling Jingyang, and his subordinates were able to fight well.
Leng Rutie said: "The last general is Leng Rutie, grateful to General Li for saving his life, but our army defeated these Qing troops, but the Qing army was a partial division, and its main force returned to Datong City under the leadership of Bei Zibolo." β
Li Daowei didn't know that Ling Jingyang raided Datong City, and Li Rufeng didn't know either, Leng Rutie continued: "General Ling led his troops to attack Datong City a few days ago, if the main force of the Qing army is allowed to withdraw, General Ling's troops and horses are in danger of being destroyed." β
"Go, go, go."
Li Daowei hurriedly led his troops to support Datong City, Leng Rutie and Li Rufeng, Murong Tu, and Niu Guangtian also led troops to support Ling Jingyang.
At this time, Ling Jingyang led the troops to kill under the city of Datong, thousands of Dashun troops roared under the city, and the Qing army in the city had more than 6,000 people, and they were not afraid of the Dashun army attacking the city.
Mu Lan looked at the Dashun army under the city with disdain on the city wall, and ordered the generals to defend the city, and when Beizi returned triumphantly, he would send these Dashun troops to the underworld.
There are more than 600 Eight Banner soldiers in the city, Mu Lan scattered these Eight Banner soldiers in various city gates, as long as the city gate is not lost, even if the Dashun army attacks the city wall, with the advantage of the number and terrain of the Qing army, it also has the strength to defeat the Dashun army.
Ling Jingyang saw the banner on the city wall, and the Qing soldiers were holding weapons and waiting for the Dashun army to attack the city. β
Wang Chengen ordered the soldiers to lift up the twenty tiger squat cannons and bombard them on the city wall, the tiger squat cannons had no ability to attack the city, but they brought great pressure to the Qing army.
Mu Lan knew that the artillery of the Dashun army was not powerful, but the troops with artillery must be the main force of the Dashun army, and Ling Jingyang's raid on Datong City was the best if it could break through Datong City, and there would be no losses if it could not be broken.
He believed that with Boluo's military ability, he was blocked by the cavalry battalion, Murong Tu and other troops and horses in Weiyuanwei, and it was impossible not to see that he was going to attack Datong City, and when Boluo returned to the city, he led the troops to retreat, so that the Qing army was exhausted and lost its baggage and part of its strength.
There is another point, Ling Jingyang is alone in Bo, that is Lin Erle, if Lin Erle fights with Jiang Xuan, he will not be able to work, and if Lin Erle stays in Datong City, this is an excellent opportunity.
Ling Jingyang asked Zhang Luofu to sign up, and Zhang Luofu roared angrily under the city: "Ling Jingyang, the left mighty general of my Dashun army's rear battalion, is now leading the troops to recover Datong City, and waiting for the savages outside the pass to go out of the city and surrender quickly." β
Ling Jingyang deliberately asked Zhang Luofu to shout these words, just to see what was said in the city, and sure enough, Lin Erle heard Zhang Luofu shouting in the city, and hurriedly came to the city wall with his henchmen, and sprayed at Zhang Luofu: "Bastard, little master Lin Erle, your family Ling Dog was kicked by Lao Tzu's serial leg last time so that his father and mother couldn't recognize it, why do you want to ask the master to kick twice this time?" β
Ling Jingyang smiled, and ordered the old steamed bun to lead 500 troops to the west gate of Datong City, and Dong Daqi to lead 600 troops to the east gate of Datong City, so that the Qing army would besiege Datong City for a long time.
Mu Lan looked at the Dashun army under the city and there were thousands of people, and the soldiers were divided into two ways, and he thought that he was humiliated by the Dashun army in the city these days, so he ordered to go out of the city to fight, he guarded the vanguard with six hundred and eight banners, and ordered Lin Erle and the eight banners to go out of the city to fight together, but he commanded the battle in the city.
Lin Erle was still thinking about how to open the city gate and welcome Ling Jingyang into the city, but he was suddenly commanded by Mu Lan to fight outside the city, but Mu Lan hid in the city, which made him happy to keep his mouth shut, this is a good opportunity, only these six hundred and eight banner soldiers in Datong City have combat effectiveness, as long as these six hundred and eight banner soldiers are destroyed, the miscellaneous troops in the city are not capable of holding the city, and they may open the city gate to surrender to the Dashun army.
Thinking of this, he pretended to be very reluctant and led more than 1,000 soldiers of the whole army to follow the Eight Banners out of the city to fight.
Before the Eight Banners soldiers left the city, Mu Lan encouraged them, as long as they defeated the Dashun army outside the city, he would ask Bei Zi for merit, and each person would be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver.
These Eight Banner soldiers looked down on the Ming army in their hearts, and they didn't need Mu Lan to drum up at all, so they took Lin Erle with more than 1,000 green battalion soldiers and went to the Dashun army outside the city to kill.
Ling Jingyang almost couldn't believe his eyes, the Qing army in the city didn't defend the city to the death, but went out of the city to fight, isn't this God helping me?
He saw Lin Erle leading more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to follow behind, and laughed even more, and ordered the artillery battalion to come out to fight.
Zhang Luofu, as the main force of frontal combat, led Zhu Youzhen and Mei Shifeng to command the battle.
Zhu Youzhen whispered in his ear: "General Zhang, our army has captured Datong City, Jiang Hao will lead the main force to come back, at that time, I will fight to the death, show my true body in front of Jiang Huang, and persuade Jiang Huang to return to Daming." β
Zhang Luofu's mind boomed, looking at Zhu Youzhen in disbelief, he asked Mei Shifeng to lead his soldiers to the periphery to guard, he and Zhu Youzhen whispered: "Your Majesty, this... I'm afraid that's not right? β
Zhu Youzhen said coldly: "What? Cowardly? β
Zhang Luofu felt that Zhu Youzhen was talking in a dream, how naΓ―ve this was, so he would pin his hopes on a slave with three surnames, he stubbornly talked to Zhu Youzhen about Datong Mansion and the entire northern war situation, at this time it was a critical moment for the Dashun army and the Qing army to compete for the north, and at this time to erect a big banner, it was tantamount to letting the Qing army and the Dashun army cease fighting, pointing the finger at Your Majesty, and their soldiers and horses would be besieged by the Qing army and the Dashun army.
"Hmph, I have the world in my heart, and I can no longer bear to see the thieves and Jiannu fighting in the Central Plains, so that I will starve for thousands of miles, you give me a good grasp, capture Datong City, wait for the opportunity to seize the leadership of Shiying, I will appoint you as the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and concurrently serve as the governor of Beizhili."
