After defeating the Qing army, Ling Jingyang ordered the whole army to abandon the town of Ningwu Army and rest in Guanshui Mountain, because the baggage was in Wang Mu, and there was not much silver to reward the soldiers, so he distributed the silver and grain and grass captured from the Qing army to the soldiers.

Each soldier was given dozens of taels of silver, as well as a strip of jerky and a bag of brown rice, and the morale of the whole army was once again bursting, and they were eager to break through Taiyuan City now and get more silver.

Ling Jingyang felt that the military heart was available, and Jiang Hao discussed, and decided to rest overnight in Guan Shu Mountain, and attack Taiyuan City directly tomorrow, Jiang Hao and the Qing army were in the battle, full of confidence, and felt that the Qing army was like that, he asked Jiang Rang to lead the cavalry to wander around Taiyuan City, and prepare for the main force to attack Taiyuan City.

That night, the whole army rested in Guanshui Mountain, and the physical strength was greatly recovered, and after dawn the next day, the wounded soldiers were recuperated in the mountains, and the others all advanced towards Taiyuan City.

The Dashun army and the Datong soldiers marched forward, but the Qing army was like a lost dog, eager to withdraw to Taiyuan City in one breath, on the way to retreat, Wakda let his subordinates with good legs and feet ride fast horses, go to Datong Mansion, and Henan to ask for reinforcements, and let the defenders of Taiyuan City prepare for war, so as not to be captured by the Dashun army in one fell swoop.

Wakda desperately retreated, from Guanshui Mountain to Taiyuan City more than 300 miles, he and a small number of personal soldiers rode fast horses, with two days, finally arrived at Taiyuan City, there are more than 2,000 infantry troops in the back to follow, and so all the soldiers arrived in Taiyuan City, Wakda began to form the Taiyuan City defense line, to block the offensive momentum of the Dashun army under Taiyuan City.

On the other hand, he also waited for Aobai, who was fighting in Henan, to reinforce Shanxi, Henan was ten days away from Taiyuan Prefecture, and he had to withstand the ten days of the Dashun army's attack.

Wakda also ordered that the Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers near Taiyuan City retreated to Taiyuan City to hold on, and all the Qing troops arrived in Taiyuan City on the evening of the second day, Ling Jingyang and Jiang Hao led a large army to the city, Jiang Huang gathered a lot of subordinates along the way, scattered all over Shanxi Datong soldiers, I heard that Jiang Huang returned to the Ming army sequence, and they all brought weapons and companions to the old superiors.

When he arrived at the city of Taiyuan, Jiang Jing's army reached more than 16,000 people, in comparison, Ling Jingyang was a little shabby, along the way, he also absorbed some stragglers, and also selected more than 1,000 people from the young and strong to supplement the army, and the strength of the whole army was restored to more than 5,000 people, but in front of Jiang Jing's army, it was not a volume at all.

After arriving at the city of Taiyuan, the two armies camped under the city that night, the next day Jiang Hao ordered the troops and horses to start attacking the city, Ling Jingyang this time with him to fight, according to the two of them discussed, Jiang Huang attacked the north gate, Ling Jingyang attacked the south gate, and tried to break through the Taiyuan city within ten days.

In Taiyuan City, there are 2,200 soldiers of the Eight Banners, more than 6,000 green battalion soldiers, and dozens of artillery pieces to defend on the city wall.

When he came to the city wall with his generals full of confidence, he looked up, how the military flag of the Dashun army under the city was a little different, and the soldiers of the eight banners also felt strange, but the soldiers of the green battalion were surprised, and the city was not the Dashun army, but the long-disappeared Da Ming army flag.

Jiang Hao tore his throat under the city and shouted loudly: "Brothers, I am Jiang Liang, the chief soldier of Datong Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, in accordance with the holy will of His Majesty Chongzhen, expelling Jiannu, and I am a Ming soldier in the city, quickly open the door to welcome Your Majesty, kill Jiannu, Huang Enhao from Longgong." ”

After hearing this, the soldiers of the green battalion in the city exchanged their heads and ears, and Wakda's brain was buzzing, what Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, didn't he die in the capital? Why did you suddenly appear in Taiyuan City again?

He hurriedly ordered the soldiers of the Eight Banners to garrison the city gate, not to let the green battalion soldiers open the city gate to welcome the Ming army into the city, the soldiers of the Eight Banners were well-trained, and soon withdrew the green battalion soldiers at the city gate, and two hundred and eight banner soldiers were stationed at each city gate.

Jiang Hao yelled outside the city, seeing that there was not much reaction in the city, Ling Jingyang invited Zhu Youzhen out at this time, Zhu Youzhen experienced life and death, although he knew that Ling Jingyang and Jiang Hao regarded him as a puppet, but in the battle of Taiyuan City, he was willing to work hard for the two governors.

He was wearing a dragon robe, and under the escort of Ling Jingyang and other soldiers, he rode a war horse and ran slowly under the city, and the green battalion soldiers on the city wall were dumbfounded.

Not only that, Jiang Hao and other generals of the Datong Army also followed Zhu Youzhen with special respect, Zhu Youzhen and the soldiers of Taiyuan City waved their hands, and with this wave of their hands, the green battalion soldiers in the city were chaotic.

Many of the soldiers of the Green Battalion who were once the Ming Army pulled out their waist knives and slashed with the nearby Eight Banners, and Wakda hurriedly ordered the Eight Banners to suppress the rebels, but the number of the Eight Banners was not large, and the suppression was here, and there was a war there.

At this time, Ling Jingyang immediately ordered the army to attack the city from the south gate, Jiang Hao also ordered the drummers to beat the drums, and the whole army attacked from the north gate.

More than 20,000 people launched a general attack, the eight banners in the city were dragged by the green battalion soldiers, Wakda ran back and forth on the city wall, repelled the attack of the Ming army at the north gate, the Ming army at the south gate attacked fiercely, he was forced to take this army to support the south gate, just left the north gate, and suddenly heard a fierce shout at the north gate of the city gate.

Looking down, it turned out to be the green battalion soldiers in the city who killed the eight banner soldiers at the north gate of the city, opened the city gate to welcome the Ming army into the city, Jiang Hao saw the city gate open, ordered the whole army to enter the city, and shouted that the Ming army only killed the eight banner soldiers, not the green battalion soldiers.

The green battalion soldiers in the city suddenly all reversed, followed the Ming army to attack the Eight Banners frantically, killing the Eight Banners soldiers to kneel and beg for mercy, suffering heavy losses, and Wakda was forced to break through with his troops.

The rest of the Eight Banners were also brave, escorting him to break through from the city, Ling Jingyang had not broken the city at the south gate, and saw that the Qing army had broken through, so he hurriedly ordered Zhang Luofu and other troops to continue to attack the city, and the cavalry battalion pursued Wakda.

After Wakda went out of the city, he was very pessimistic, Taiyuan City was lost in one day, and he would be beheaded when he went back, the relationship between his father and the regent had been lukewarm, and he would add shame to the family when he went back, the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and he hurriedly pulled out his waist knife and wiped it on his neck.

Fortunately, he was snatched down by the generals and persuaded him not to be discouraged, Datong Mansion, Henan, Beizhili, and Shandong are all Qing Dynasty territories, and there is still a chance to fight back, so he died, but there is really no chance to fight back.

Wakda thought about it, the population of the Houjin people was not large, and there was really one less dead, so he retreated to Henan, gathered Qing troops from all over the country along the way, and even got more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, forcing Li Rufeng to chase half of the population and was forced to retreat, so that Wakda could retreat to Henan smoothly.
