He Zhen also said: "Yes, let's go south to attack Ruzhou, Kaifeng, Runing Mansion, what are you hanging around here?" ”

Instead, Zhang Shun, the general of the Jingyang Army, said to the three of them: "Ladies and gentlemen, if our army goes south, aren't you afraid that Luoyang City Jiannu will cut off the back road of our army?" ”

He Zhen retorted to him, how can the Qing army cut off such a small number of troops, the Ming army can withdraw from Huaiqing Mansion to Shanxi, or go south as soon as possible to attack the city, don't let the Jiannu reinforcements come.

Jiannu reinforcements reminded Ling Jingyang, he suddenly felt that the occupation of Henan would only attract the attention of the Qing army, these years of war in Henan, thousands of miles of uninhabited, it is better to eliminate the Qing army's living force, the Qing army in Luoyang annihilated, can make the Qing army lose the response in Henan, the Qing army will counterattack Henan in the future, there will not be many places to respond.

He insisted on continuing to attack Luoyang City, He Zhen didn't understand why he was so persistent in attacking a chicken rib city, Ling Jingyang saw that he didn't agree, and said to him: "General He, your department continues to the south, and our department continues to attack Luoyang City, trying to destroy the local troops of the Qing army." ”

Mei Shifeng also changed his mind and supported Ling Jingyang to attack Luoyang City, He Zhen saw that the two had to fight to the death in Luoyang City, and they were not reluctant, and went to Ruzhou with their troops, leaving Ling Jingyang and Mei Shifeng to continue to besiege Luoyang City.

There are still more than 6,000 Qing troops in Luoyang City, and the grain and grass in the city can support them for 20 days, and the Qing army in Luoyang City has decided to defend to the end.

Ling Jingyang and Mei Shifeng discussed how to attack Luoyang City, Mei Shifeng brought some siege equipment, he suggested a strong attack, Ling Jingyang shook his head, even if the forced attack on the city is to break Luoyang City, it will also suffer huge losses.

Mei Shifeng said again: "Then we besiege but not attack, starve to death the Qing army in this city?" ”

Ling Jingyang took the encirclement point to send reinforcements, Luoyang City only had a lone army, but there were Qing troops in other parts of Henan, as long as the commander of the Qing army was not blind, he would increase his troops in Luoyang, and defeat the Qing army's reinforcements from all walks of life, which was equivalent to eliminating the Qing army's vital force.

He asked Mei Shifeng to lead the troops to continue the acropolis, he led the troops to lurk outside Luoyang City, and when a small number of Qing reinforcements arrived, they were resolutely eliminated.

Mei Shifeng agreed to Ling Jingyang's battle plan and led his troops to surround Luoyang City, and Ling Jingyang led his troops to Longmen Pass in the south of Luoyang City, where the whole army remained silent and waited for Qing reinforcements to arrive.

Ling Jingyang led the army to garrison at Longmen Pass for five days and five nights, did not see a shadow of a Qing soldier, during which Zhu Youzhen sent him 5,000 stone grain and grass, when he attacked Henan, he brought 2,000 stone grain and grass, and Zhu Youzhen sent grain and grass, and the whole army could be stationed in Longmen Pass for a month.

Ling Jingyang continued to be patient, waiting for the arrival of the Qing army, and at the same time ordered the scouts to go to the west and east of Luoyang City, and when Qing reinforcements arrived, they would come back immediately to report.

At noon on the sixth day, a scout rushed back to report that a Qing army from Kaifeng Mansion was rushing to support Luoyang.

The scout replied that there were more than 4,000 Qing troops, as well as countless grain trucks and more than 1,000 coats, Ling Jingyang had a soft spot for coats, this is a group of people who were squeezed to the limit by the Qing army, some people were afraid of the Qing army to the limit, and some people planted the seeds of hatred in their hearts, waiting for an opportunity to break the ground.

Ling Jingyang went to Henan this time, and the soldiers of the Special Bureau were embedded in Henan Mansion one step ahead of him, Fang Xiaoyan took Wang Qiu, and Xu Yun and the two disguised

The people, collecting intelligence in various places, waited for the scouts to come back to report to Ling Jingyang about the Qing army and Baoyi.

Fang Xiaoyan had already gotten this information, he used to be Baoyi, and he hated the Qing army monstrously, he rode back to Longmen Pass on a fast horse, and asked Ling Jingyang to incorporate this group of Baoyi.

"Xiaoyan, if you want to absorb the coats, you have to defeat the Qing army, you go to collect intelligence and see if this group of coats has confidence in the Qing army, or does they want to oppose the Qing army?"

Fang Xiaoyan took Ling Jingyang's military order and returned to the base of the Special Bureau near Longmen Pass, where he shaved his hair again and changed into tattered clothes, from the outside, he was a pitiful bag, Xu Yun and Wang Qiu were a little surprised when they saw this appearance.

Unlike Wang Qiu and Xu Yun, after Fang Xiaoyan shaved his hair again, he only felt inexplicable humiliation, he wanted to become Bao Yi again, but in order to save Bao Yi, he let it go.

The Qing army did not know that the Ming army was in Longmen Pass, and Ling Jingyang, in order to cooperate with Fang Xiaoyan, specially ordered Zhang Shunbu to harass the Qing army.

Zhang Shun led the troops to harass the Qing army all the way, and launched a large-scale harassment in the evening, forcing the Qing army to be in chaos, and Fang Xiaoyan slipped into the coating team in the dark.

The general of the Qing army, Ha Liang, saw that the Ming army dared to harass the troops, and also caused a commotion in the whole army, and immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing.

He didn't dare to move forward because he sent 10,000 stones of grain and grass to the Qing army in Luoyang, which were important military supplies in Harian's eyes, but in Hong Chengchou's view, they were a big bait.

After Hong Chengchou went south in Duoduo, he sat in Henan, and made great contributions to the Qing army to stabilize the rear and keep the supply lines unblocked, and when he learned that the Ming army rushed out of Shanxi to attack Huaiqing Mansion and Henan Mansion, he immediately realized that this was a good opportunity.

He ordered Kaifeng City Ha Liang to lead 508 banner soldiers, 3,500 green battalion soldiers, 1,000 coats, and escort 10,000 stone grain and grass to Luoyang City.

After seeing the Ming army near Longmen Pass, he scolded Hong Chengchou for taking off his pants and farting, he and his generals talked about the defenders of Luoyang City but more than 10,000 people, most of them were green battalion soldiers, and if they were lost, they would be lost, and that Hong Chengchou had to ask him to come to reinforcements, and he also said that Luoyang City was a nail in the chest of the Chongzhen court.

The general followed him and scolded: "Top his uncle." ”

"Haha"

Haryan and his generals laughed heartily, although they were harassed by the Ming army just now, and several people were killed and wounded, but Haryan was not afraid at all, he had 4,000 soldiers, and the Ming army could not eat his troops without more than 10,000 people.

Zhang Shun was very good at harassing the Qing army, especially at night to constantly harass the Qing army, the Qing army was kept awake by the Ming army for a whole night, and Haryan decided to ambush the Ming army.

Ordered to concentrate all troops, horses, and cavalry, and rushed out to annihilate the Ming army's harassment troops when the Ming army was harassing.

He could think of using cavalry, and Zhang Shun could also think that tonight it was not his army that launched an attack, but the entire Ming army that launched a siege and annihilation battle.

Ling Jingyang ordered Zhang Shunbu to be the middle army, sniping the Qing army head-on, Shi Tiebu to attack the abdomen of the Qing army on the left flank, and Lao Mantou to attack the right wing troops, raiding the Qing army's grain and grass team.

Before the attack of the various departments, Ling Jingyang ordered that Bao Yi should not be harmed, and the generals of the various departments were ordered,

Ling Jingyang brought his own soldiers and acted with Zhang Shunbu.

The battle soon began, and Zhang Shun provoked the Qing army in front of him and set up fortifications in front of the position.

Haryan had long wanted to kill this group of Ming troops, and in the evening he led more than 400 cavalry to charge the Ming army, and 1,500 Ming soldiers held spears to meet the Qing cavalry attack.

In the night battle, the Qing army and the Ming army were not much better, and the Qing cavalry sprinted and successfully took the lives of hundreds of Ming soldiers, but they also fell into the spear formation of the Ming army and were forced to engage with the Ming army in close combat.

The position was full of trenches, and the power of the Qing army's war horses and machines was greatly reduced, so Haryan ordered the whole army to fight on foot and fight with the Ming army on the spot.

The two armies came and went in the open space, killing happily, and Haryan slashed one by one, so that the soldiers of the Ming army did not dare to be the enemy.

Listening to Jingyang and Mei Shaozuo, Xu Sheng said: "You two, whoever kills more enemies tonight will be given to whoever is the captain of the pro-soldiers." ”

Both of them want to become the new captain of Ling Jingyang's personal soldiers, and after getting the order, they flew to the Qing army, Mei Shaozuo's long knife was tricky, and every knife was to attack the waist and abdomen of the Qing soldiers, and the Qing soldiers' aunt was forced.

Xu Sheng is different from him, he is very similar to Zhang Luofu, both are a spear as fast as lightning, and before the Qing soldiers could react, the spear pierced through the chest and was taken away.

In the melee, Mei Shaozuo, Xu Sheng and Harang were killed together, and Harang had already hacked several Ming soldiers to death, shouting that the Ming people were worms.

Suddenly, a yin wind came from one side, he came and you hurriedly slashed with a big knife, it was Mei Shaozuo, his blade and Harang's blade collided together, Mei Shaozuo's strength was not as good as Harang's, and he was shocked and flew out.

Harang quickly stepped forward and stabbed Mei Shaozuo in the chest with a big knife, Mei Shaozuo watched the blade stab to the chest, and at this moment, Xu Sheng's spear was killed, and a shot stabbed Harang's blade, and Harang was stabbed by this shot.

He hurriedly attacked Xu Sheng, but Xu Sheng used a spear to pestle the ground, held the gun with both hands, and a dashing air whirling kick, kicked Har Liang in the chest with his toes, and Har Liang was kicked out with a kick.

After Haryan was kicked, he immediately rolled on the ground and got up, when had he ever been kicked like this, he was so angry that he raised his knife again to kill.

Before rushing in front of Xu Sheng, Mei Shaozuo suddenly rolled over one by one, and got into the feet of Har Liang in the black light, and Har Liang looked down and saw a black thing under his feet.

In the next second, the long knife pierced from the perineum upwards, and Harang felt a chill in his lower body, and Mei Shaozuo used force again, and the katana stabbed Harang from the perineum to his chest.

Haryan's teeth rattled, and he wanted to hack this despicable sneak attacker to death with a long knife, but he couldn't lift the big knife, Mei Shaozuo pulled out the long knife violently, and then flew up, and Haryan's head was cut off.

The cavalry of the Qing army was beaten by the Ming army with more and less, and after the death of Harliang, the Qing army did not collapse, but continued to storm the Ming army, and the two armies died to the last soldier.

Ling Jingyang was also forced to enter the Qing army, and his appearance boosted the morale of the Ming army, and the Ming army gradually gained the upper hand, but still could not win quickly.

Shi Tie led his troops to raid the green battalion of the Qing army, and the combat effectiveness of the green battalion was not as good as that of the Eight Banners, and in the face of the attack of the Iron Fist Legion, they were barely able to resist for a while.

Lao Mantou also launched a raid on the Qing army's grain and grass team at this time.
