Chapter 375: The Yellow Sparrow Follows (2)
The old steamed bun crawled out of the pond, and saw a group of Qing soldiers walking here, and had no choice but to soak his body in the water again.
This group of Qing soldiers came to the pond and urinated on the pond, and the smell of urine filled the pond with the smell of old steamed buns.
There was also a Qing army peeing on the "corpse" of the old steamed bun, the old steamed bun stared wide under the water, he almost couldn't help it, and wanted to fight with this group of Qing soldiers, but fortunately, after the Qing soldiers urinated, they whistled and left.
After this group of Qing soldiers left, the old steamed buns did not dare to go to Longmen Pass during the day, but waited for it to get dark before going.
At this time, there are more than 2,000 Ming troops in Longmen Pass, more than 600 coats, and they are remembering the soldiers who died in the battle last night.
Died last night under the swords of the Qing soldiers, Ling Jingyang's heart hurts, and it hurts even more that nearly half of the soldiers died last night, almost severely damaging Ling Jingyang's military strength.
He ordered Fang Xiaoyan to go to Ruzhou as soon as possible, asked He Zhenbu to come back for help, and personally led his own soldiers to ride fast horses to Luoyang, and discussed with Mei Shifeng how to annihilate this Qing army.
Before leaving, he ordered Shi Tie and Zhang Shun to set off for Luoyang City half a day later, and annihilated the Qing army with Mei Shifeng's troops.
Hong Chengchou's troops were already rushing to Longmen Pass, but there were a large number of infantry troops in the Qing army, and the speed was not fast, Ling Jingyang only brought a few people, went to Luoyang City from the north side, and rushed to Mei Shifeng's military camp half a day before the Qing army arrived in Luoyang City.
Mei Shifeng was surprised that Ling Jingyang had become like this, Ling Jingyang didn't bother to say hello to him, and told him that the Qing army reinforcements were rushing to Luoyang, Mei Shifeng was a little shocked, and immediately ordered the troops to prepare for the battle.
Ling Jingyang did not leave Mei Shifeng's military camp, he wanted to see how Mei Shifeng commanded the battle, and Mei Shifeng also intended to invite Ling Jingyang to watch the battle.
Ling Jingyang asked Mei Shifeng to be more careful of the Qing army in Luoyang City, Mei Shifeng disdained, he had 20,000 soldiers and horses under Luoyang City, what was the Qing army in the city?
Ling Jingyang saw that he had the heart to underestimate the enemy, and said: "Our army was ambushed by the Qing army at Longmen Pass, and more than half of the soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, so General Mei still should not underestimate the enemy." ”
Yes?
The Qing army actually ambushed Ling Jingyang's troops, Ling Jingyang originally went to ambush the Qing army's grain transportation team, but was actually ambushed by the Qing army?
No wonder Ling Jingyang was disgraced, he was ambushed by the Qing army, and the Qing army that could make Ling Jingyang deflated must be the strongest of the strong.
Mei Shifeng finally put away his heart of underestimating the enemy, and ordered all his troops to retreat to camp ten miles west of Luoyang City, so as not to be flanked by the Qing army inside and outside the city.
You can fight with the Qing army with all your might, but the Qing army has many cavalry, and the infantry army in the plain area is very disadvantaged, Mei Shifeng smiled and said to him: "The Jiannu cavalry is just a group of infantry troops on horseback, our army has a hundred chariots, all stacked in front of the formation, and the Jiannu cavalry can still fly over our chariots?" ”
Ling Jingyang saw that Mei Shifeng was still a little underestimated, so he didn't say anything.
In the afternoon, Hong Chengchou led the army to Luoyang City, and the Qing army reinforcements in the city arrived, and they all made shocking shouts, eager to go out of the city and join the reinforcements now, and give the Ming army outside the city a little color.
Hong Chengchou led the army into Luoyang City, just arrived in the city, the Qing army in the city said that they would complain to him, there were rebels in the city who wanted to surrender to the Ming army, they were all killed, and asked Hong Du Du not to blame them for killing their colleagues.
After Hong Chengchou listened, he asked the guards in the city how many soldiers and horses there were in the city.
The guard replied to him, there are still more than 6,000 horse and foot archers in the city, Hong Chengchou blinked, there are so many soldiers and horses in the city, and he can indeed continue to hold Luoyang City, but the main force of Duoduo is in Huguang again.
If he puts his troops in Luoyang City, the troops in other parts of Henan will be empty, and the Ming army can conquer the city to its heart's content.
In the end, he still chose to abandon Luoyang City, led the army to withdraw to Kaifeng Mansion, the Qing army brought all the materials in the city, and retreated towards Kaifeng Mansion.
Ling Jingyang followed Mei Shifeng's army, and suddenly found that several people in Mei Shifeng's army were staring at him, and he said to Xu Sheng: "Someone here wants to assassinate us, and he will rush out with me later." ”
Xu Sheng thought that Ling Jingyang and Mei Shifeng had a very good relationship, and suddenly heard Ling Jingyang say this, almost making him unable to believe it, he nodded and conveyed the military order with other personal soldiers, and after Mei Shifeng led the army to attack, Ling Jingyang and Mei Shifeng said goodbye.
Without waiting for Mei Shifeng to reflect, he took Xu Sheng and other personal soldiers to ride away, Mei Shifeng didn't know that there were Zhu Youzhen's eyeliners in the army, and these eyeliners still carried out Zhu Youzhen's secret order, and there was a very good opportunity to assassinate Ling Jingyang and annex Ling Jingyang's troops.
is also Mei Shifeng's integrity, when Ling Jingyang came to his army, he and Ling Jingyang were inseparable, and there was no chance to assassinate Ling Jingyang.
Ling Jingyang left suddenly
, so that Mei Shifeng suddenly felt a sense of sadness, he also thought that there might be someone in the army who wanted to kill Ling Jingyang, as the chief soldier of the first army, but he could not protect his friends, he couldn't help but feel sad, but he quickly adjusted and ordered the troops to pursue the Qing army.
Hong Chengchou is not afraid of the pursuit of the Ming army, in his opinion, the elite of the Ming army has long been wiped out by the Qing army outside the pass, and the rest are some third-rate troops, not to mention these righteous troops who are not as good as the third-rate Ming army.
After he ordered the cavalry to break, he led the troops to continue to retreat to Kaifeng Mansion, and more than 1,000 cavalry of the Qing army carried sabers and spears to meet the Ming army.
Seeing that the Qing army looked down on him so much, Mei Shifeng ordered the archers to release arrows while advancing, and the Qing cavalry was suddenly killed by a burst of arrows from the Ming army.
Zuo Ling hurriedly ordered to charge, kill the Ming army as fast as possible, scatter the Ming army, and then harvest his life, Mei Shifeng saw the Qing army rushing forward, and ordered the chariot to be in front and the infantry army to be behind.
After the cavalry of the Qing army rushed up, they were blocked by the chariot and stopped in front of the chariot, such a good opportunity, Mei Shifeng ordered the troops to attack and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Qing army.
The cavalry of the Qing army was bitten by the Ming army, and Hong Chengchou, who was retreating, was furious and led the infantry army to support the cavalry, and the Qing infantry returned to the battlefield.
After Ling Jingyang left Mei Shifeng's army, he joined forces with Zhang Shun and Shi Tie on the way, and took the remnants of the army to support Mei Shifeng.
After they arrived at the battlefield, Hong Chengchou had led the infantry army into the battlefield, and the combat effectiveness of the Qing army was indeed stronger than that of Mei Shifeng, a third-rate army.
Fortunately, Ling Jingyang led the army to flank the Qing army, and Mei Shifeng's frontal military pressure plummeted, and he had time to reorganize the troops again.
The Qing army was once again stabbed in the ass, Hong Chengchou was almost angry, he had to destroy the Ming army today, he led half of the Qing army back to help, Ling Jingyang saw the main force of the Qing army coming, and ordered to retreat to the east.
So on the open battlefield, there was a very funny scene, Ling Jingyang led the army to retreat to the east, the Qing army pursued behind, Mei Shifeng led the troops to defeat the frontal Qing army, and pursued the Qing army that was pursuing the Ming army in the back.
Ling Jingyang retreated to a kilometer away with his troops, and suddenly the whole army stopped retreating, turned its guns to meet the Qing attack, but found that the Qing army did not catch up.
The Qing army retreated under the leadership of Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou is also a generation of famous generals, how could this level of battle make him deflated, after the Qing army facing the head-on was defeated, he decisively ordered a retreat to maintain military strength for the next counterattack against the Ming army.
