Chapter 217: First Strike (2)

After the battle, Turai ordered to continue to clean up the battlefield and eliminate the living forces of the Dashun army as much as possible, and the main force of the Qing army entered Hunyuan City after dawn.

Azig asked Shang Kexi's subordinates to completely destroy Hunyuan City, and then led the main army to advance towards Datong City.

The news of the loss of Hunyuan City soon reached Tian Jianxiu's ears, and at the same time, Dang Shousu and hundreds of remnants withdrew to Datong City, looking at Dang Shousu's 5,000 elite soldiers, there were only hundreds of people left.

Tian Jianxiu gasped, at this time there were still more than 8,000 soldiers and horses in Datong City, and they still had the strength to fight, but Dang Shousu dragged his injured body and begged him to abandon Datong City, and the whole army retreated to Shaanxi to garrison.

"Dang Shousu, how did you become like the rats?"

"The artillery of the Qing army is too powerful, our firearms are not as good as the Qing army, it is better to retreat to Shaanxi for long-term consideration, don't be served by the Qing army here."

Dang Shousu is a well-known general, he wants to retreat, you can imagine how strong the Qing army is, Tian Jianxiu looked at Datong City, this is a city that was finally recaptured, so he was unwilling to give it to the Qing army.

"Don't say those frustrating words, pass on my order, the whole army will defend Datong City, don't let the Qing army think that my Dashun army is a sick man."

At Tian Jianxiu's insistence, the 8,000 Dashun army was determined to defend Datong City, and Ling Jingyang was also attacked by the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion at this time.

Three days before Azig occupied Hunyuan City, Bo Luo and Jiang Hao led 30,000 troops to attack Weiyuan Mansion, and Ling Jingyang decisively ordered to abandon the Datong Left Guard, Ping Yuwei, and the whole army was stationed in Weiyuan City.

Weiyuan City has been renovated by Jin Dashou, although the area of the city has not expanded, it can be improved in all directions in defense, the city wall has been strengthened, and the battlements have been raised, which is more than twice as strong as the previous Weiyuan City.

The people in the city, under the leadership of the Ximen Lord and Mi Shengguang, were evacuated to remote cities such as Datong Right Guard, and after the people withdrew, the defenders of Weiyuan Mansion could do their best to meet the final preparations of the Qing army.

Before the battle, Ling Jingyang came to the Zhang Luo auxiliary army with twenty soldiers of the Iron Fist Battalion, this time the Qing army was menacing, and he could not fight to the death with the Qing army at this point, after thinking about it carefully, he decided to let Zhu Youzhen go out of the rivers and lakes in advance, and use Zhu Youzhen's banner to recruit Jiang Jiu.

Zhang Luofu was a little surprised, why did Ling Jingyang suddenly come to the barracks, Ling Jingyang was on the way to Zhang Luofu's barracks, so he thought of letting Zhu Youzhen play a role, Zhang Luofu was the key, let Zhang Luofu be on the bright side, and he accused the overall situation behind the scenes.

Ling Jingyang had long known that Zhang Luofu had visited Zhu Youzhen in private, he and Zhang Luofu looked left and right, Zhang Luofu understood, and asked him to step back left and right, Ling Jingyang asked the soldiers of the Iron Fist Battalion to wait outside, and took Fang Xiaoyan and Zhang Luofu to the army camp together.

At this time, in Zhang Luofu's Chinese army camp, only Ling Jingyang, Zhang Luofu, and Fang Xiaoyan sat down, Ling Jingyang sat down, and looked at Zhang Luofu with some meaning, Zhang Luofu didn't know what happened to Ling Jingyang coming to the barracks, and after saluting Ling Jingyang, he said: "General, the enemy is currently in the present, is there an important task for the last general to carry out?" ”

Ling Jingyang waved his hand, Fang Xiaoyan immediately held the three-eyed gun, looked at Zhang Luofu coldly, Ling Jingyang said coldly: "Zhang Luofu, you and Zhu Youjian are eyebrow-giving, but you have broken our agreement." ”

Zhang Luofu's old face became red, he did have private contact with Zhu Youzhen, and he was silently loyal to Zhu Youzhen and the Ming Dynasty, it was rumored that Zhu Youzhen was not dead, and he was still lurking in a certain Dashun army unit, so that Ling Jingyang entered to take the land, thinking that someone leaked that Zhu Youzhen was in his army.

And this is Zhang Luofu's single-handedly made, he is colorless and suitable in the stone camp, he feels that the whole wind is suitable, and in a camp, he quietly took the whole iron wind to meet Zhu Youzhen.

After Quan Tiefeng realized that Zhu Youzhen was Leng Pang, and Leng Pang was Zhu Youzhen, he immediately announced his allegiance to Zhu Youzhen, and then Zhang Luofu conspired with Wang Chengen to let Quan Tiefeng spread rumors and give Zhu Youzhen a boost.

It's a pity that not long after Quan Tiefeng spread rumors, he was defeated by the Qing army in a battle, most of Quan Tiefeng's subordinates were killed in battle, and his own whereabouts are unknown, so he did not continue to spread rumors.

And all this, Ling Jingyang has already secretly asked people to deal with it, he has a very suitable eye, that is Fang Xiaoyan, the first time he saw Fang Xiaoyan, he felt that he had a smart energy with this young man.

After Fang Xiaoyan entered the artillery camp, he asked Fang Xiaoyan to secretly look at Leng Pang, Zhang Luofu and others, Fang Xiaoyan was also loyal to his duties, and saw that Zhu Youzhen, Zhang Luofu, Quan Tiefeng and others were in close contact, and they all quietly told Ling Jingyang.

But Ling Jingyang did not destroy the connection between them, and pretended not to see it, after all, the enemy is current, and these people are also self-aware, and they will not be in the nest before the Qing army is driven away.

But this time is different, Ling Jingyang finally has his own one-acre and three-point land, and he can't fight with his troops like before, which not only can't defeat the Qing army, but also makes the rear of the Qing army more and more stable, but the Dashun army is getting weaker and weaker.

Therefore, if he wants to hold Datong Mansion and contain the offensive of the Qing army, how to curb the offensive of the Qing army, he expects the green battalion soldiers in the Qing army to play a role.

Someone leads the green battalion to rebel, the Qing army will be torn apart, how to make the green battalion rebel, only hope that Zhu Youzhen will stand up, persuade Jiang Huang and others to surrender the army and surrender the generals with the respect of the great tomorrow, give Jiang Huang and others the supreme full strength, and let the civil and military officials who follow Zhu Youzhen become the new nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Luofu thought that Ling Jingyang didn't know their secrets, but today Ling Jingyang went straight to the point, which made him sweat coldly, and he didn't even dare to look up at Ling Jingyang.

"General, admiral... The last general deserves to die, and I ask the general to spare His Majesty's life. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xiaoyan suddenly snatched his matching knife and threw it aside, Ling Jingyang also knew that Zhang Luofu was a Ming martial artist, and Zhang Luofu moved the sword, and he and Fang Xiaoyan went up together, but it was just blood splattered on the spot.

Fang Xiaoyan was very considerate and threw away Zhang Luo's auxiliary weapon, and Ling Jingyang said: You are a loyal and brave man, I also admire you for this, unlike Jiang Jiu, Tang Tong and other scum, whoever comes will surrender, just this, I will not kill you. ”

Zhang Luofu doesn't care about his life and death, he cares about Zhu Youzhen's life.

"General, the last general is just a general of a defeated army, it doesn't matter whether he dies or not, but Your Majesty's dragon body, please let Your Majesty leave Weiyuan Mansion and let him fend for himself, don't leave His Majesty infamous for killing kings through the ages."

How could Ling Jingyang kill Zhu Youzhen, but he didn't say anything good about Zhu Youzhen, but sarcastically mocked Zhang Luofu: "What you believe in is just a selfish and ungrateful person, even if you kill him, you will not be infamous through the ages." ”

"So, general, is this going on?" Zhang Luofu didn't quite understand why Ling Jingyang was doing this, but Ling Jingyang gave him directions next.

Ling Jingyang stood up, righteous Bo Yuntian, and Zhang Luofu said four words, the Ming military flag.

Hearing these four words, Zhang Luofu said violently: "The Ming Army Flag... Could it be that you want to re-erect my Ming court? ”

"Yes, you will go and invite Wang Chengen to the Iron Fist Camp now, as well as Jiang Xuan, Tie Ruleng, Murong Tu, and Niu Guangtian will also be invited."

Zhang Luofu immediately understood, Wang Chengen, Jiang Xuan, and Leng Rutie were all military attaches of the Ming army before, and they asked them to come together to raise trouble, but not long ago, Zhu Youzhen asked him to launch a mutiny and seize control of Shiying.

Then this is a good opportunity, his heart is experiencing the struggle between heaven and man, Ling Jingyang saw that he didn't answer, so he smelled: "Zhang Luofu, what, don't you dare?" ”

"No, no, the last general is going to gather the generals."

Ling Jingyang suddenly shouted to him: "Zhang Luofu, General Ben asked you, who will carry this Ming military flag?" ”

Zhang Luofu raised his head, he had never looked at Ling Jingyang's eyes so seriously, in these days when the Dashun army was fighting, he had long regarded himself as a general of the Dashun army, and he also admired the courage of the Dashun army and the Qing army to fight to the end, unlike the green battalion soldiers recruited by the Qing army, they were all former troops of the Ming Dynasty.

He was ruthless and decided to be loyal to Ling Jingyang, and said word by word: "The last general thinks that it is most appropriate for the general to carry the flag, and if there are those who do not follow, the last general will carry the head of the rebel to see the adult." ”

After getting Zhang Luofu's allegiance, Ling Jingyang waved his hand and asked him to go out immediately to gather Leng Rutie and others, after Zhang Luofu went out, Ling Jingyang also hurriedly returned to the Iron Fist Camp.

In order to let Lao Mantou, Dong Daqi and other veterans of the Dashun Army support this matter, Ling Jingyang deliberately asked Lao Mantou to take his direct troops to the north gate of Weiyuan City to garrison, and Dong Daqi went to the south gate, in case the two of them couldn't figure it out, and took the troops to rebel.

As for Murong Tu, Niu Guangtian's two troops and horses led the troops to garrison the east and west, and Ling Jingyang mobilized the artillery battalion to garrison the warehouse, Leng Ru Tiebu had strong combat effectiveness, and Ling Jingyang asked them to build fortifications outside the city.

There are only two soldiers and horses in the city, Zhang Luofu and Jiang Xuan, as a reserve force, Ling Jingyang waited for Zhang Luofu and others to arrive in the Iron Fist Camp, in order to ensure the success of the operation, Ling Jingyang and Fang Xiaoyan secretly ordered that if there is anyone who disagrees, they will be killed when they go out.

According to his orders, Fang Xiaoyan lurked in the corner of the hall with twenty firecrackers, all of them loaded with guns, as long as Ling Jingyang made a gesture, he could kill any disobedient general.

After the arrangement, Ling Jingyang sat in the hall of the martial arts arena and waited for everyone to arrive, and after a while, Zhang Luofu led Wang Chengen, Leng Rutie, Jiang Xuan, Murong Tu, and Niu Guangtian to the hall of the Iron Fist Camp martial arts arena.

But after coming, they only saw Ling Jingyang looking at them with a smile, Jiang Xuan was a newly surrendered general, and he was at the back of the stone camp, Leng Rutie was still as calm as water as before, and Murong Tu and Niu Guangtian did not speak.

Only Wang Chengen saw a different taste, but he still stubbornly said to Ling Jingyang: "General, do you have a task to order?" ”

Ling Jingyang suddenly laughed out loud, and said to Wang Chengen: "Master of Ceremonies Bingbi Wang Chengen, don't pretend." ”
