Ling Jingyang decided to immediately withdraw to Taiyuan City, and Jiang Jiu fought the defense of Taiyuan Mansion together, Gao Ding also asked to withdraw to Taiyuan City, and all the troops resisted the Qing army's attack together, Ling Jingyang was not his superior, but he gave Gao Ding a very correct suggestion, leading the troops to continue to garrison Ningwu Pass, waiting for an opportunity to cut off the logistics supply line of the Qing army from Datong Mansion to Yan'an Mansion.

Gao Ding accepted Ling Jingyang's suggestion, led the troops in Ningwu Pass and waited for the opportunity to move, Ling Jingyang hurriedly led the troops back to Taiyuan City, his withdrawal, announced that this strategic counterattack was hastily done, after coming to Taiyuan City, the city was in mourning, Jiang Hao led 5,000 soldiers and horses to withdraw to Taiyuan City, and the other soldiers and horses were led by Jiang Rang, and continued to garrison Yanmen.

When Ling Jingyang saw Jiang Jingyang, Jiang Jingyang's head was bandaged, and he sat on the chair in annoyance, and when he saw Ling Jingyang coming, he said hello very annoyed, so he didn't say a word, and Ling Jingyang didn't get angry with him, and said to him: "General Jiang, the Qing army is strong, and our army's siege is not good for the soldiers to be like tigers, but the strength is not as good as people, but I have good news here, do you want to hear it?" ”

"It's good news, Dolgon transferred the Qing army from Shandong back to Henan, and led the troops to recruit in person, I think if this fight continues, sooner or later it will be destroyed by Jiannu."

Jiang Hao was very worried about Jiang Xuan's safety in Kaifeng Mansion, but Ling Jingyang told him not to worry, the Qing army was menacing, but it also took time to assemble, Kaifeng Mansion was so big, the Qing army would not be able to completely annihilate the Kaifeng Ming army for a while and a half, and at this time you could count on Hongguang Dynasty to that group of people.

There are not many elites in the Hongguang Imperial Court, but they have hundreds of thousands of troops, and there are also Lu Wang troops, as well as Zheng Zhilong's troops nearby, these two troops are also quite powerful, and I hope that these two troops can also join the Northern Expedition army.

Jiang Hao also knew that the Hongguang Dynasty sent troops to the Northern Expedition, but his news was lagging behind, Huang Degong had sent troops to Yanzhou Mansion half a month ago, and captured part of the southern part of Yanzhou Mansion, but what the current battle situation in Yanzhou Mansion was, everyone didn't know at all.

I don't know if Huang Degong has withstood the counterattack of the Qing army, this is what Ling Jingyang is most concerned about, if he withstands the counterattack of the Qing army, then Dashun and Daming still have time to breathe, if they can't withstand it, the entire Jiangbei will be taken away by the Qing army.

At this time, the information came back from Kaifeng Mansion in Henan, and Jiang Xuan asked Jiang Xuan to send it back, and the two hurriedly came

Open the letter, a look, suddenly like five thunder thunder, the Qing army under the leadership of the two brothers, Dalton and Duoduo, after entering Henan, eliminated a small number of Ming troops along the way, all the way to attack the city and pull out the village, only five days, to hit the city of Kaifeng.

Then began to storm Kaifeng City, Jiang Xuan led 50,000 troops to garrison Kaifeng City, but was annihilated by the Qing army in a battle, Jiang Xuan only left 19 cavalry to withdraw to Weihui Mansion, the central army stationed in the west of Kaifeng Mansion was also defeated by the Qing army's forward attack, and was forced to withdraw to Weihui Mansion, and the left wing, the right wing of the two troops to defend Weihui Mansion.

Jiang Xuan scolded Jiang Xuan angrily: "Is Jiang Xuan a pig brain?" How can you concentrate the soldiers and horses in Kaifeng City? ”

At this time, there was another urgent military information from Weihui Mansion, the messenger turned out to be Wang Tiedao, he came to Yuci City, and wanted to report to you in Yuci City and Ling Jingyang, but Wang Mu told him that Ling Du Governor went to Taiyuan City, Wang Tiedao rode a war horse and rushed to Taiyuan City, and finally found Ling Jingyang.

Ling Jingyang asked him to drink saliva, rest for a while and then report the war in Henan, Wang Tiedao grunted a mouthful of water into his stomach, and then said to the two: "Governor, Governor Jiang, our army was defeated in Kaifeng Mansion, not that your brothers are inferior to Jiannu, but there are villains, traitors lead the way for Jiannu, in the Kaifeng defense battle, open the city gate, lure the Jiannu army into the city, resulting in the failure of the Kaifeng City Defense, tens of thousands of troops died at the hands of Jiannu. ”

Jiang Hao knocked down the stool on the side and asked, "Who is the traitor?" ”

"Some of the gentry who surrendered to our army did not surrender sincerely, but mixed into Kaifeng City with their family soldiers, and made internal responses for Jiannu, and at the most critical moment of the battle, they made chaos in the city, killed the soldiers at the city gate, and opened the city gate to let the Qing army enter the city."

The more he said Jiang Jiu, the more angry he became, not only that, Wang Tiedao also told everyone that after the Kaifeng Battle began, Commander Leng led the Central Army to the periphery of Kaifeng City, and wanted to contain the Qing army outside the city, who would have thought that the Central Army also had rebels.

Commander Leng ordered the army to set up a position and prepare for the attack of the Qing army, and the rebels took the lead in attacking, wanting to raid the command platform where the commander of Leng Commander was located, but fortunately they were blocked by the troops led by Lao Mantou, so they were not successfully beheaded by the rebels.

But at this time, the formation of the Central Army was in chaos, again

Unable to withstand the onslaught of the Qing army, Leng Rutie was forced to lead the Central Army to retreat, and successfully met Jiang Xuan and a few Kaifeng defenders on the way to retreat, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

Jiang Hao and Ling Jingyang felt very uncomfortable, after Wang Tiedao finished talking about these flowers, he suddenly stopped, a little eager to speak, Ling Jingyang realized that he still had important information, and said to him: "Wang Tiedao, is there any other information?" ”

Wang Tiedao bit his lip and said bitterly: "Dudu, Brother Mantou is injured, and there are only more than 2,000 people left in the Central Army, which is not as large as the number before the troops were sent to Henan. ”

The Central Army was the main force under Ling Jingyang, and was defeated by the Qing army in the first battle, which was lured by the rebels to attack the Qing army, and almost did not cause substantial casualties to the Qing army.

"How is the old steamed bun's injury?"

"It's not a fatal injury, the military doctor said to recuperate."

Ling Jingyang asked him where the Qing army was fighting now, and Wang Tiedao replied to him that after the Qing army captured Kaifeng Mansion, it reorganized its troops and horses in the local area, and was supported by at least tens of thousands of gentry soldiers and horses, and was launching an attack on Weihui Mansion.

"Governor Jiang, let's not command in Taiyuan City, let's go to Weihui Mansion to defend against the Qing army now."

Jiang Hao clenched his fists: "Okay, Lao Tzu will bring all the people in Taiyuan City who can still move to Weihui Mansion and fight to the death with Jiannu." ”

Ling Jingyang and Yue Ling said: "Take my warrant to Fenzhou, transfer the reserve army to Lu'an Prefecture and assemble with the Iron Fist Legion, and then the whole army will go to Weihui Mansion to block the offensive momentum of the Qing army." ”

Yue Ling immediately went out of the city to Fenzhou to convey Ling Jingyang's military order, Ling Jingyang and Jiang Hao said goodbye, and returned to Yuci City with the Iron Fist Army, just returned to the northern suburbs of Yuci City, and saw Dong Daqi leading 5,000 soldiers and horses to pull out the camp, and should have also received a military order sent by Zhang Luofu from Fenzhou, ordering him to go to Lu'an Prefecture as the vanguard.

Dong Daqi's thoughts about Bai Lushui made Ling Jingyang have a very bad impression of him, he did not step forward to cheer up Dong Daqi's troops, but watched Dong Daqi's troops march towards Lu'an Prefecture, and after all the reserve troops left, he led the Iron Fist Army back to the magnetic field, and after returning to the city, he summoned the civil and military officials above the fifth grade in the city to discuss sending troops to Henan.
