The civil and military ministers of the Chongzhen court in Yucicheng did not expect that the Qing army would counterattack so quickly, and many people were still immersed in the fact that after the army occupied a large number of prefectures and counties in Henan, more officials could be sent to Henan and other places to restore local order, but they were dizzy by the Qing army.

Before Ling Jingyang arrived at Yuci City, he ordered Li Rufeng to lead the cavalry corps to wander between Weihui Mansion and Yuci City, Li Rufeng immediately led the cavalry corps to the front line, and after he left, Ling Jingyang asked the Special Bureau to also go to Weihui Mansion to help the Ming army troops of Weihui Mansion eliminate the Qing army, and Fang Xiaoyan also led the Special Bureau to support Weihui Mansion.

Back in the city, in his mansion, he asked the city's Chinese military minister to report to him on the current situation in Yuci City, while Zhu Youjian was in an attic behind the venue, quietly listening to his courtiers report to Ling Jingyang.

Wang Mu and Ling Jingyang reported on the materials in Yuci City, there were 500,000 stone grain and grass, as well as some herbs and gunpowder, which could be brought to the front line, Ximen Zhu and Ling Jingyang reported that Yuci City and nearby prefectures and counties, there were more than 600,000 people, which is almost the majority of the population of the entire Taiyuan Prefecture, and he asked Ling Jingyang to leave some grain and grass in Yuci City to relieve the people.

Ling Jingyang nodded in agreement, and reported to Ling Jingyang that Yuci City has been renovated and reinforced, and it is more suitable for defense, if the front line cannot be defended, it can be withdrawn to Yuci City, and the city wall of Yuci City can withstand the red-coated artillery bombardment, Ling Jingyang nodded lightly, indicating that he knows, and Wangbao, Bai Dun said: "How many city defense troops are there in the city?" ”

Baidun and Wangbao are recruiting troops in various places these days, after the expansion of the army, the city defense army has more than 2,000 people, and it is not necessary for these troops to stay in Yuci City, Ling Jingyang decided to bring all the city defense troops, and only left Wang Mu and a few other officials in Yuci City, and other civil and military officials also went to Weihui Mansion with him.

Mi Shengguang is busy with business these days, reporting to Ling Jingyang about the four major families, and Fan Honghuo has developed more trade routes for Ling Jingyang, including trade with the Mongols on the Mongolian Plateau, Ling Jingyang suddenly turned around and said to him: "Mongols? ”

"Yes, do business with Mongolians such as vinegar and tea."

In Ling Jingyang's impression, in 1646, the Mongolian Plateau Sunit Department rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, pinned down the main force of the Qing army to the south, and gave the southern Ming army valuable respite.

"Which Mongol tribe?"

Mi Shengguang shook his head, the Mongolian plateau tribe Tiduo, he didn't know whether it was to trade with that Mongolian tribe, Ling Jingyang finally gave up the Mongolian tribe, or decided to increase the troops in Henan, and completed his work in one battle, defeated the Qing army's attack, forced the Qing army to withdraw, and waited until next spring to continue fighting.

Everyone held a meeting in Yuci City for a day and a night, the next day Zhang Luofu led the reserve army to arrive in Yuci City, Zhang Luofu was the commander of the reserve corps, Lin Erle also followed him to Yuci City, after returning to Shun Ling Jingyang, he retired from the first-line generals and became a local official of Fenzhou Prefecture, this time bringing 20,000 people from Fenzhou Mansion to transport baggage for the reserve corps.

Ling Jingyang and Zhang Luofu have not seen each other for some days, and after the two met, they were a little excited, and Zhang Luofu proudly reported to Ling Jingyang on the situation of the reserve army in Fenzhou.

From his mouth, Ling Jingyang learned that the reserve legion had more than 40,000 infantry cavalry, including more than 4,000 firecrackers and more than 1,000 cavalry.

Zhang Luofu and Ling Jingyang said: "Governor, this is all the credit of the Lin Governor's Mansion, his family contributed 600 war horses, and persuaded other gentry from all over the country to join our army, and the last general will use these war horses to form a cavalry unit, which is not as good as the Qing army and the border army in strength, but it can also be pulled to the battlefield to rush." ”

Ling Jingyang, Zhang Luofu and Lin Erle said: "You two have done a good job, but this time our army must have the determination to break the cauldron and give Jiannu a head-on attack in Weihui Mansion, forcing it to dare not use troops against our army before the spring of next year." ”

Fenzhou Mansion is located in the rear, Zhang Luofu and others are even more lagging behind, and they don't know that the main force of the Qing army is attacking Henan, and Ling Jingyang said: "Dudu, our army is not attacking Henan, why do we need to reserve the army to enter Henan?" ”

He is actually very concerned about the defense of Taiyuan Mansion, and the entire Taiyuan Mansion will also reserve the corps, and the Ming Army of Taiyuan City has the strength to fight, and the reserve corps has gone to Henan, and Taiyuan Mansion will fall into a defensive void.

"The Qing army moved heavy troops from the north to attack Henan, and the territory occupied by our army in Henan was basically recaptured by the Qing army, leaving only Weihui Mansion to return

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

In the hands of our army, the troops that went south to Henan also suffered heavy losses, of which the Central Army only had more than 2,000 people left, which is why the reserve corps was mobilized to reinforce Henan. ”

The battle in Henan was reversed by the Qing army, and Zhang Luofu was glad to let Dong Daqi take the lead.

"I have asked Dong Daqi to lead 5,000 troops to Lu'an Prefecture as the vanguard, and they should arrive in Lu'an Prefecture at this time and wait for the arrival of the large army."

"You will set off in the afternoon, I will lead the Iron Fist Legion to escort the grain and grass behind, and after arriving in Lu'an Prefecture, the whole army will enter Weihui Mansion, even if all of them are killed, they will drag down the pace of the Qing army's attack."

Zhang Luofu and Ling Jingyang swore that even if the reserve army was finished, it would break the teeth of the Qing army, and the reserve army would rest in Yuci City for half a day, and advance towards Lu'an Prefecture in the afternoon of the same day.

Ling Jingyang led the Iron Fist Legion, the city defense army, the people and the baggage to the chaos of Ah Zhou on the second day, and there was information from Weihui Mansion along the way.

......

The Qing army's attack on Weihui Mansion was not as smooth as the attack on Kaifeng Mansion, because after Jiang Xuan and Leng Rutie withdrew to Weihui Mansion, the two of them and Niu Guangtian, who was stationed here, and Murong Tu talked about the reasons for the defeat of Kaifeng Mansion, including the rebels who were the Qing army's internal response.

After Niu Guangtian and Murong Tu heard this, they immediately returned to the army to suppress the enemy, but the two of them were not good at this aspect, so it was impossible to kill all the new defectors, right?

The two had to mix and match the old and new troops, look at the new troops with the old troops, and prevent the rebels from making chaos in the new troops, this trick is very effective, when Duoduo led the army to attack Xinxiang, the rebels inside just wanted to open the city gate, and were discovered by Niu Guangtian's subordinates, Niu Guangtian led the troops to defend on the city wall, and the city was suppressed by the Murong Tu Department and Leng Rutie Ministry, and finally eliminated the rebels, lost the rebels' internal response, and the Qing army's siege was also repulsed.

Although the Qing army did not succeed in attacking the city, and lost hundreds of soldiers and horses, the losses caused by the rebels in the city were even greater, making the casualties of the Ming army in the city reach an astonishing more than 2,000 people.
