Chapter 379: The Battle of Shanxi (1)

Ling Jingyang ordered the scouts in the army to do their best, and did everything they could to obtain first-hand information, Fang Xiaoyan led the soldiers of the Special Bureau to spread out in Taiyuan Mansion and Pingyang Mansion, and intelligence from all over the country was sent like snowflakes.

Ling Jingyang is no longer deaf and blind, he finally learned the information of the nearby area, after the Qing army captured Ningwu Pass, Yanmen Pass was also abandoned by Jiang Xuan, and the Qing army captured the northern part of Taiyuan Mansion.

Bolo continued to attack Taiyuan City, and was repelled by Jiang Jiu, and the imperial reinforcements also drove into Taiyuan Mansion, and Jiang Huang's troops launched a counterattack and recovered some lost ground, but the imperial reinforcements immediately withdrew.

When Ling Jingyang saw this information, he knew that the imperial court wanted Jiang Jiu and the Qing army to consume, he smiled bitterly, and he didn't want to scold.

However, it was the battle of Yan'anfu, because it was too far away, and the special bureau and scouts did not send back information in time.

Ling Jingyang thought that the Dashun army had the strength to resist the Qing army, and only the Chongzhen court faced the Qing army alone and the vast army of Hu, which would be treated as ashes by the Qing army.

Even if he attacked Datong Mansion at this time, he didn't have any assistance to the Chongzhen Imperial Court, Shaanxi and Shanxi were in full swing, but Ling Jingyang seemed to be suspended here, he didn't know where to go?

When Ling Jingyang was confused, the Qing army broke through the defense line of Taiyuan City built by Jiang Xuan, and more than 30,000 Qing troops captured most of Taiyuan Mansion.

Bolo's army could take advantage of the situation to go south to attack Pingyang Mansion, but Bolo suddenly turned west with his whole army and attacked Fenzhou, where Ling Jingyang was stationed.

The Qing army gave up attacking the Chongzhen court, not because the Qing army was soft-hearted, but because Duoduo led the vast army of Hu to withdraw to Henan and attack Zezhou from Huaiqing Mansion.

Zhu Youzhen has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yicheng, most of them are rebels from all over the country, after Duoduo came to Zezhou, the scouts entered Pingyang Mansion, and the Qing army scouts were stunned, there were so many Ming troops in Pingyang Mansion.

The Qing army scouts rushed back, and Duoduo reported that there were many Ming troops in Pingyang Mansion, and Duoduo also gasped, this Chongzhen court really had appeal, and it gathered more than 100,000 troops in such a short time, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people who supported the Ming Dynasty.

It seems that the regent's strategy is very clever, using Chongzhen as a bait to gather the soldiers and civilians who are interested in the Ming Dynasty in Pingyang Mansion.

And then annihilation in one fell swoop.

He returned to Henan this time and brought back 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers, 90,000 Green Battalion soldiers, and the rest of the troops were stationed in Huguang under the leadership of Wu Sangui.

Duoduo set up camp in Zezhou, and Hong Chengchou was in charge of logistics, and Hong Chengchou made great contributions to the Qing army in Henan, and also sent more than 10,000 green battalion soldiers to Duoduo.

In the eyes of the Ming people, what Hong Chengchou did was a generation that forgot his ancestors, but in the eyes of the Manchurians, Hong Chengchou was the Qing Dynasty Baturu, and Duoduo made Ao Bai the vanguard, went to Pingyang Mansion to fight with the Ming army, and saw if the Chongzhen imperial court army was strong in combat?

Ao Bai led 5,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, and 10,000 soldiers of the Green Battalion entered Pingyang Mansion from Zezhou, and Zhu Youzhen took Zhangluo Mansion as the vanguard to drive out the vanguard of the Qing army.

Zhang Luofu misses the days when he fought side by side with Ling Jingyang, when there were troops from all walks of life cooperating.

Unlike now, when he led his troops to fight against the Qing army alone, there was no left and right troops to cover the two wings, and there was no central army in front of him.

He led the army to Lijiazhuang, where he used it as a battlefield to have a showdown with the Qing army.

Ao Bai was not as rigid as him, he did not have a hard fight with the Ming army at all, but chose to make a frontal feint, and other troops went to Pingyang Mansion to burn and plunder all over the country, and disintegrate the soil for the survival of the Chongzhen court.

This move was very vicious, Zhang Luofu was stationed in Lijiazhuang, only the Ming army was stationed and was not robbed, and other nearby villages were burned by the Qing army.

Zhang Luofu did not dare to divide his troops to rescue, and some generals did not obey the command, and led his troops and horses to the nearby Wangtun to pursue the Qing army, but he was completely annihilated by the Qing army ambushed in the village.

The Qing army was in Pingyang Mansion as if there was no one, Zhang Luofu's heart was dripping blood, he suddenly remembered to fight with Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang would let the local officials evacuate the people before the war, and there would be no army hiding in the city at all, and the people outside the city were killed in a river of blood and did not dare to go to the rescue.

Ao Bai continued to burn and plunder, the people from all over Pingyang Mansion were so frightened that they went to Yicheng, Zhu Youzhen saw that the people were so pitifully killed by the Qing army, and he actually ordered Zhang Luofu to launch an attack and quickly wipe out the Qing army in Pingyang Prefecture.

Zhu Youzhen's impatience once gained the upper hand, and he sent twenty holy orders to Zhang Luofu one day and forcibly demanded them

Zhang Luofu and the Qing army fought a decisive battle,

Zhang Luofu wanted to cry without tears, his troops were not inferior to the Qing army in terms of numbers, but his combat effectiveness was the five scum of the war, and he could not compete with the Qing army at all.

Looking at the holy order sent by His Majesty, Zhang Luofu tearfully ordered the troops to go out to fight with the Qing army, after the military order was issued, it was opposed by many generals, and some generals threatened to dare to go out to fight in the field, so they took the troops to defect to the Dashun army.

Zhang Luofu didn't have the ability to restrain this group of subordinates, so he could only say to the generals: "Everyone, this is Your Majesty's holy decree, there is still a way forward to live, if you leave without a fight, you will be beheaded when you go back." ”

A general of the rebel army jumped out and shouted with Zhang Luofu: "He dares, Lao Tzu has soldiers and food, and he wants Lao Tzu and his brothers to die, and he is still tender." ”

Many people thought of Sun Chuanting, who was killed by His Majesty, and Zhang Luofu looked up to the sky and roared. β€œ

You don't go up, Lao Tzu up. ”

He walked out of the camp of the Chinese army, gathered the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and after a while, the six thousand soldiers and horses of the headquarters were assembled, and he took the soldiers and horses of the headquarters out of the village to fight with the Qing army.

Ao Bai got the Ming army out of the village to fight, it seems that these days burning, killing and plundering angered the Ming emperor, the naΓ―ve emperor really couldn't help it, so that the Ming army of Lijiazhuang fought in the field.

He and his generals laughed at Zhu Youzhen, he was an immature child, the Ming army was cowering in Lijiazhuang, and he was really not good at attacking Lijiazhuang.

This time, the Ming army came out to fight in the field, but it was a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy, and he immediately mobilized more than 6,000 nearby horse-foot archers to wait for the arrival of the Ming army outside Lijiazhuang.

After a while, the Ming army came to the battlefield with weapons on their shoulders, and Zhang Luofu saw that the Qing army was also waiting in formation, and suddenly he saw clouds of smoke and fire coming out of the Qing army's position.

In the next second, the artillery shells of the Qing army poured into the Ming army formation, and the blood and flesh of the Ming soldiers were blurred, Zhang Luofu gritted his teeth and ordered the whole army to attack, and thousands of Ming soldiers forcibly attacked under the artillery fire of the Qing army.

The firearms of the Qing army was very strong, and Ao Bai ordered the bird to step forward, and when the Ming army rushed over, he immediately opened fire.

After a burst of fire, after killing and wounding hundreds of Ming troops, the Qing army pulled out cold weapons to kill the Ming army, and the Qing cavalry ambushed on both sides of the battlefield quietly killed, dividing and surrounding the Ming army from both sides, and the Ming army was killed and wounded by the Qing army.
