He led hundreds of people to the city, watched Lin Erle's subordinates throw down the corpses of the green battalion soldiers who supported the Qing army in the city, and gave a thumbs up to Lin Erle's subordinates.

"Lin Erle's soldiers, good job."

Lin Erle is chasing other remnants of the Qing army in the city, in the battle with the Qing army in the city, Lin Erle exerted his full strength, and the soldiers under his command also knew that if they did not chop up the Qing soldiers in the city, when the main force of the Qing army returned, they would all be killed.

So the more brave he became, the Qing army in the city was completely defeated, although Lin Erle defeated most of the Qing army, but did not completely annihilate the remnants of the Qing army, he did not dare to open the city gate to welcome the Dashun army into the city, if there are remnants of the city to assassinate the generals of the Dashun army, then it is better not to surrender?

Ling Jingyang was not in a hurry outside the city, and after the other troops returned, Lin Erle finally opened up an area in the city where there were no remnants of the Qing army, at this time, he opened the city gate to welcome Ling Jingyang, and entered the city with his Dashun army.

He and Ling Jingyang said that there were still hundreds of remnants of the Qing army in the city, and asked General Ling and the generals to rest here, and without waiting for him to continue to speak, Ling Jingyang ordered the troops directly under him to join the battle in the city, and Lin Erle's troops to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Qing army in the city.

With the support of the Dashun army, the green battalion soldiers who supported the Qing army were dragged out and beheaded, and in the afternoon, all the remnants of the Qing army in the city were wiped out, and Wang Mu also led the four major families, as well as Fan Honghuo and others to the city.

Although the Qing army was defeated, many Qing troops still escaped, and these Qing soldiers would definitely go to Weiyuanwei to join Bolo and lead Bolo back to Datong City.

Maybe Bolo is on the way back to help, although the Dashun army completely captured Datong City, Ling Jingyang did not get carried away by victory, and ordered all troops and horses to enter the city defense, of which Wanliyun was stationed in the east of the city, and Zhang Luo's auxiliary department was stationed in the north of the city.

Ling Jingyang also rewarded Lin Erle heavily, gave Lin Erle 5,000 taels of silver, promoted him to the right mighty general, and still commanded the troops and horses of the headquarters.

This appointment made the other soldiers of the Dashun Army really red-eyed, the right mighty general was second only to the left mighty general, but the clear-eyed people could see at a glance that this right mighty general could not compare to the other captains, because Ling Jingyang let Lin Erle still command the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and his soldiers and horses of the headquarters were all rabble, and there was a qualitative distance from the soldiers and horses of the other departments.

Ling Jingyang saw tens of thousands of people in Datong City, and said to Lin Erle: "Evacuate these people, just say that the Qing army is about to kill, let them hurry out of the city." ”

Lin Erle was busy leading the troops to evacuate the people, and another incident happened in the city, Fan Honghuo led the four major families, as well as Wang Mu and dozens of other officials to a mansion in the city, which was the mansion of his cousin Fan Guangjin.

Fan Guangjin is also the hardcore of the Qing army, after the defeat of the Qing army, Fan Guangjin took his family to hide in the cellar, and suddenly the cellar door was pulled out from above, and someone shone the torch downward, and saw Fan Guangjin and his family's miserable faces.

"Cousin, are you still in the city?"

Fan Honghuo and Wang Mu said: "This person is Fan Guangjin, and he is also the secret intelligence station of the Qing army in Datong City. ”

Wang Mu hurriedly ordered Fan Guangjin and the others to be dragged out.

Fan Guangjin watched Fan Honghuo's braid cut off and was shocked.

"Fan Honghuo, you... If you vote for a thief, aren't you afraid of death? ”

"Die to your head, I think you're going to die."

Wang Mu made a gesture on the side, angrily reprimanding Fan Guangjin for surrendering to Jiannu: "Fan Guangjin, I am Wang Mu, the magistrate of Guangling County, Datong Prefecture, and you are my Ming businessman, but I eat inside and out, work hard for Jiannu, come to someone, drag it out and behead the public, and the whole family will be in the army." ”

When Fan Guangjin heard that he was going to be beheaded, he was so frightened that he was full of feces and urine, and knelt on the ground and prayed for his life. ”

Fan Guangjin was confused for a while, and hurriedly said to Wang Mu: "My lord, spare my life, the little one knows that the Qing army, no, Jiannu is carrying heavy baggage in the city, so this will lead the way for the adults, and give the weapons and ammunition of Jiannu to all the adults, and only ask the adults to spare the lives of the small family." ”

Wang Mu looked at him coldly, raised his head, Fan Guangjin hurriedly bent down and led everyone to a warehouse in the city, the warehouse was hidden in a very inconspicuous alley in the city, if it wasn't for Fan Guangjin to lead the way, it would take a few days for others to find here, and after a few days, Bo Luo had already led the main force back to Datong City, at that time, the Dashun army was either fighting, or withdrawing from Datong City.

After the warehouse door was opened, Wang Mu was stunned, it was full of sophisticated armor, weapons, and a large amount of grain and grass, Fan Guangjin and Wang Mu talked about these baggage, which were given to Jiang Huang by the Qing army from outside the customs, and the purpose was to make Jiang Huang completely fall to the Qing army.

This can make everyone really happy, Wang Mu asked Fan Honghuo to invite Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang also arranged defense in the city, there is a lack of artillery in the city, there are only twenty artillery pieces brought by the artillery battalion in the whole city, there is no heavy artillery, in the defense, it will be bombarded by the enemy army with powerful artillery, a large number of living forces died under the shelling, Ling Jingyang took a turn in the city, even if it was the Eight Banners barracks, there was not a single artillery.

Thinking that these artillery pieces were all taken by Boluo to attack Wei Yuanwei, at this time, Fan Honghuo trotted over and said to Ling Jingyang: "General, happy news, Lord Wang found a Jiannu warehouse in the city, which is full of heavy baggage." ”

He led Ling Jingyang to the warehouse, Wang Mu had already taken people around the warehouse, saw Ling Jingyang coming, and excitedly ran forward to congratulate Ling Jingyang, this warehouse has 50,000 stone grain and grass, 1,500 pairs of armor, 900 guns, 100 boxes of gunpowder, spears and spears can be equipped with ten stone battalion troops. ”

Ling Jingyang kept nodding and asked, "Is there any artillery?" ”

Wang Mu really didn't care if there was artillery, as a civilian official, his mind was full of grain and grass, as long as there was grain and grass, he could gather the people and recruit troops, he and his subordinates said: "Go and see, is there any artillery?" ”

Everyone walked around the warehouse, and there were no artillery, only guns and gunpowder, Ling Jingyang and Wang Mu said: "Lord Wang, can Datong Mansion have the ability to cast artillery?" ”

Wang Mu thought for a while, shook his head, and talked to Ling Jingyang about the military system of the Ming army, in order to prevent the leakage of artillery technology, the emperors of the previous dynasties did not allow the border army to cast cannons on their own, and only the Ordnance Bureau and the Gunpowder Bureau of the Ministry of Industry could produce firearms.

Decades ago, the border towns fought fiercely, especially the war in Liaodong, the imperial court made artillery can not meet the border war, the imperial court also acquiesced to the local large-scale imitation of firearms, some border formations began to imitate weapons, the most famous is Qi Jiguang in Jizhen made tiger squat artillery, stone artillery, bird's beak gun, rockets, flying knives, flying arrows and other weapons, but the ability to cast heavy artillery of the border formation, there are still very few.
