Ling Jingyang also realized the reluctance of Dong Daqi and other directly subordinate soldiers, and added a military order, the local armed forces are under the command of the army, and if necessary, they must still cooperate with the main force to fight expeditions.

And Fang Xiaoyan and the soldiers of the Huojiao Battalion were excited to become Ling Jingyang's direct troops, and Fang Xiaoyan also deliberately took a roast chicken to the barracks of the directly subordinate troops to worship the old steamed buns.

The old steamed bun was also very polite, and talked to Fang Xiaoyan about the drills and drills of the directly subordinate troops, so that Fang Xiaoyan would train according to these in the future, Fang Xiaoyan led the soldiers of the fire battalion, withdrew from the artillery battalion barracks, and the whole army moved into the barracks of the directly subordinate troops.

The two armies completed the transformation overnight, the Qing army was still humiliating the officers and soldiers of the Dashun army in all kinds of fancy ways outside the city, and the Dashun army in the city abandoned it, allowing the Qing army to abuse and humiliate, all pretending not to hear, the Qing army was tired of scolding, and saw that there was no response in the city, and they all felt tasteless, and they went back to the camp to rest.

When the Qing army was humiliated in every way, Bolo secretly ordered the soldiers of the whole army to prepare for the siege, and the siege equipment that he had brought to attack Wei Yuanwei before was also brought back, and he could continue to use it to attack Datong City.

Before the attack, Bolo gave Jiang Xuan an important task, he led 4,000 troops to establish a defensive line in the rear of the army to prevent the reinforcements of the Dashun army from launching a surprise attack when attacking the city.

Jiang Xuan led the soldiers to the rear of the army to deploy defenses, because all the artillery of the Qing army was abandoned by Jiang Xuan, and he could only use his life to attack, and Bolo commanded the troops to launch a strong attack.

The Qing army attacked the city for the first time, the main direction of attack was the north gate, thousands of Qing soldiers carried the ladder, pushed the battering hammer to attack, Ling Jingyang ordered Zhang Luo's auxiliary department to garrison the north gate, Wanliyun to garrison the east gate, the artillery battalion to guard the west gate, Lin Erle to garrison the south gate, the directly subordinate troops for the fire team, Wang Mu led the local armed forces as a reserve.

Zhang Luofu led the troops to fight bloodily at the north gate, the Qing army siege was very fierce, lost hundreds of people in the siege, but was not able to rush to the city wall, the first attack was quickly repulsed, but the Qing army's musketeers and archers were highly skilled, covering the city wall with bows and arrows in the siege, and also brought the same number of casualties to the Dashun army.

If the Dashun army continues to fight like this, it can't afford to consume, Ling Jingyang came to the north gate to watch the battle, Zhang Luofu came to him and told him that the Qing army was strong, although it was defeated, it also killed and injured the same number of Dashun soldiers, and the whole army couldn't afford to fight like this.

Zhang Luofu also talked to Ling Jingyang about the Qing army attacking the city today, it is by no means those last-class green battalion soldiers, the combat effectiveness is very strong, even if it is death in the battle, it is necessary to pull the Dashun army to die together, he asked Ling Jingyang not to defend the city to prevent the troops from being slowly exhausted by the Qing army.

Ling Jingyang didn't dare to go out of the city to fight, even if it was a sneak attack, in the face of this elite soldier under the city, he was not sure that the sneak attack would be successful, he asked the old steamed bun to invite Wanliyun to discuss with Wanliyun how to break the enemy?

Wan Liyun led the troops to garrison the east gate, repelled the feint attack of the Qing army, thinking that the Qing army was nothing more than that, and when he came to the north gate, he found that the Qing army was so strong that in the siege battle, it caused a large number of casualties to the defenders.

"General Ling, don't we still have reinforcements outside the city? Contact with the reinforcements and flank the Qing army together, otherwise our army has no chance of winning. ”

Zhang Luofu mocked Wan Liyun: "Captain Wandu, you said lightly, our army's cavalry battalion is outside the city, how can we have the strength to rush out in the city?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wan Liyun was a little dull, but Wan Liyun's subordinate Ya Shiha put forward a novel point of view, and he suggested that Ling Jingyang surrender.

Of course, it was not a real surrender, but a fraudulent surrender, luring the Qing army into the city, ambushing the Qing army in the city, and then engaging in street battles with the Qing army.

This method is not bad, but Yashar is angry again, saying that he will lure the Qing army into the city and ambush the Qing army, but he also needs the soldiers and civilians in the city to work together.

The implication is that the prisoners of the green battalion soldiers in the city, as well as the merchants who surrendered to the Qing army's family, must be killed, so as not to prevent these people from rioting in the city after the Qing army enters the city, but instead fighting with the Qing army inside and outside.

Ling Jingyang glanced at him, that gaze could almost kill Yashiha a hundred times, Yasha's hair was seen by Ling Jingyang, and he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to continue.

He didn't know that Ling Jingyang was the most taboo to kill prisoners, so Ling Jingyang and Yasiha said: "Yasiha, your brain is good, but this captive, it's not your turn to point fingers." ”

Yashiha is a subordinate of Wanliyun, and was scolded by Ling Jingyang, feeling a little breathless in his heart, and his face was a little faceless.

Ling Jingyang and his generals pondered, but there were still no good tactics, but the Qing army began to attack the city for the second time, this time the main direction of attack was the east gate of Wanliyun, and Wanliyun was busy taking Yasiha and others to the east gate to command the battle.

The Qing army attacked the city for the second time, and the Wanliyun troops were disgraced, and in the first wave of the Qing army's attack, dozens of Qing soldiers rushed to the city wall.

Wan Liyun pulled out his waist knife and was exhausted on the city wall, and finally repelled the Qing army this time to attack the city, but sadly found that his subordinates lost one-third, most of the soldiers killed in the battle were shot by the Qing army archers covering the city wall, and the rest of the soldiers had no fighting spirit.

Ling Jingyang comforted him not to be afraid, he would let the Huojiao Battalion help defend the city here, but Wan Liyun had lost so many soldiers and horses in his mind, and he would have no right to speak within the Dashun Army in the future, so he was very absent-minded and Ling Jingyang expressed his gratitude.

Ling Jingyang felt that his strength was a little insufficient to rely only on his soldiers and horses to fight, so he summoned Wang Mu and Dong Daqi, and said to the two: "You two are mobilizing in the city. ”

Wang Mu and Dong Daqi looked at each other, what does the general mobilization mean, Ling Jingyang saw that the two of them looked confused, and said: "Just render the Qing army in the city to break the city, no one will be left, and men, women and children will be killed." ”

"General, will such an exaggeration cause instability among the people?" Wang Mu was a little worried about the people's feelings.

Ling Jingyang looked at Wang Mu coldly: "The Qing army has been killed on the city wall, are the people not rushing to help us, waiting to be slaughtered?" ”

Wang Mu is just an official under the feudal system, and he can't realize the importance of the people's will and the unlimited ability of the people, Ling Jingyang saw that he was a little hesitant, and said to him again: "To make the people in the city believe that only by following us can they live, you go back to ponder, maybe you will have a different experience." ”

Under Ling Jingyang's forcible order, Wang Mu had to go back to ponder, Ling Jingyang and Dong Daqi ordered, there are rioters in the city, kill, and more than 1,000 green battalion soldiers, ask how many people are willing to follow us, those who are unwilling to follow, all put on the uniforms of the Dashun army, rushed to the outside of the city, and created the illusion of a breakthrough for the Qing army, believing that the Qing army outside the city will kill these breakthrough "Dashun army" and obtain military achievements.
