Chapter 389: Under the City of Datong (1)
Zhang Shun took Xu Sheng and others to Andong Zhongtunwei galloped away, all the way are the corpses of the Dashun army and the Qing army, it seems that the battle is very fierce, and I don't know if the Dashun army has eliminated the Qing army, the group came to the Mayi city in the southwest of Andong Zhongtunwei, where the corpse of the Manchu Qing army, but the corpse of the Dashun army is not much, everyone thinks that the Dashun army has achieved a decisive victory.
So continue to Andong Zhongtunwei forward, in a Shanyin county town closest to Andong Zhongtunwei, there are more corpses here, everyone looks, almost all of them are the corpses of the Dashun army, but there are few corpses of the Qing army.
Zhang Shun and Xu Sheng immediately thought that the Dashun army was ambushed here and suffered heavy losses, Zhang Shun asked Xu Sheng to go back to report, Xu Sheng went back with the guards, Zhang Shun did not dare to take his subordinates forward, and walked around more than ten miles near Shanyin City, where there were so many corpses that there were corpses all over the field.
Zhang Shun saw that many corpses were wounds from firearms, he had been in the Dashun army for many years, and he knew the weapons and equipment of the Dashun army, the firearms unit was not as good as the Qing army, and it was not as good as the Ming army, Zhang Shun felt that there was not much meaning here, and just wanted to retreat, when he suddenly heard a voice in the distance, and took his subordinates to the next side of the battlefield to hide.
Zhang Shun lay on the ground, saw a group of Qing soldiers carrying weapons on the battlefield to cut off their heads, the number of Qing soldiers was not much, Zhang Shun wanted to destroy this group of Qing soldiers, but he still held back, did not attack, this group of Qing soldiers cut off more than 100 heads, with a basket to carry the head back.
The subordinates asked for instructions on whether to chase and kill the Qing soldiers, Zhang Shun thought for a while, thinking that there might be more Qing troops nearby, and retreated with his subordinates, and the group retreated to the south, and suddenly heard the sound of weapons beating,
Zhang Shun hurriedly evacuated the battlefield, but the Qing army pursued behind, and shot six Zhang Shun's subordinates with arrows.
Bayala had to kill Zhang Shun and others, Zhang Shun couldn't outrun Bayala, and was forced to fight Bayala, and his subordinates were killed one by one, and finally Zhang Shun and two personal soldiers were left.
The three of them were surrounded by nine Bayala, Zhang Shun thought he was dead, but fortunately, Xu Sheng led the wild Jurchen to come, and the twenty-two wild Jurchens and dozens of guards fought against the Bayala, and the scene was extremely exciting.
Zhang Shun was stunned, this is simply a master duel, almost every Bayala and Wild Girl can serve as the sentry commander in the Dashun Army, not only him, Xu Sheng is also dumbfounded, he thinks that Wild Girl Zhen is already very powerful, but these Bayala are even more powerful.
He was heartbroken by the loss of the wild Jurchen here, and he also joined the battlefield and fought with Bayala.
Bayala is strong, the wild girl's real strength is even better, nine Bayala was quickly killed, seven guards were killed in battle, and the wild girl Zhen also lost two, Xu Sheng came to Zhang Shun after the battle, and said: "General Zhang, or I will go to Andong Zhongtunwei, you go back to the governor, right?" ”
Zhang Shun nodded, but he was very curious, why didn't Xu Sheng go back at first, Xu Sheng smiled and said to him: "My brothers told me that there may be Jiannu elite Bayala on the battlefield, let me come back to see General Zhang, didn't I just come back and see Bayala besieging the general?" ”
"Oh, then, I'll go back and report to the governor, and I'll leave it to you here."
Zhang Shun took the only two remaining soldiers back to report the military situation, and Xu Sheng continued to rush to Shanyin County with his guards.
......
In Shanyin County, Li Guozheng led the main force of the rear battalion of the Dashun Army to fight a decisive battle with Jierharang.
After retreating to Datong Mansion, Jierharang ordered the cavalry to go to all parts of Datong Mansion, and ordered the defenders to assemble in Datong City, he led the Qing army to snipe the Dashun army along the way, and the Dashun army was lone in depth, and at the beginning it was able to chase and kill the Qing army with the aftermath of victory, and was ambushed by the Qing army, losing nearly half of the soldiers and horses, Li Guo led the troops to retreat to Shanyin City, and led more than 4,000 soldiers to resist the Qing army in Shanyin City.
The Dashun army retreated to Shanyin City, so that Jierharang saw the hope of victory, he hurriedly mobilized the Qing troops from all over Datong Province to move closer to Shanyin City, and the Qing troops from all over Datong Province got the military order to go to Datong City at first, but now they received an order to move closer to Shanyin City, and the Qing army was exhausted, but there were still a few Qing troops who rushed to Shanyin City to support Jierharang.
Jierharang led more than 20,000 Qing troops to block Li Guo and other Dashun troops in Shanyin City, Li Guo was not afraid, he and the Qing army since the battle, I don't know how many times surrounded by the Qing army, each time he was able to lead the troops to break through the encirclement.
This time in the face of the siege of the Qing army, he had no fear at all, and took Gao Yigong and other generals to appease the soldiers in the city, he thought that as long as he held on until dark, he would be able to break through.
Because the Qing army did not have red-coated cannons and lost a large number of green battalion soldiers at Ningwu Pass, Jierharang adopted a strategy of besieging but not attacking, trying to trap the Dashun army in the city.
In the afternoon, more and more Qing troops rushed back to aid Jierharang, and Jierharang almost concentrated the Qing troops in Datong Mansion to Shanyin City, and the Qing army continued to assemble in Shanyin City, this information was obtained by Xu Sheng and others, he asked his own soldiers to rush back and report to Ling Jingyang, and he took the wild Jurchen and others to continue to lurk in the periphery of Shanyin City.
Ling Jingyang rested in Yangfang County, and suddenly someone said that Zhang Shun came back, he did not wait for Zhang Shun to report to him, and took Mei Shaozuo, Gao Ding and others to meet Zhang Shun at the gate of Chen, Zhang Shun saw Ling Jingyang, and immediately reported to him that the Qing army and the Dashun army were fighting in Shanyin City.
"How's the battle going?"
"The last general doesn't know that Chief Guard Xu is cruising around Shanyin City, maybe he can bring more information."
In the evening of the same day, Xu Sheng's own troops rushed back and reported to Ling Jingyang that a large number of Qing troops were gathering in Shanyin City, as if they were attacking the Dashun army in Shanyin City.
He thought that marching at night was a very ordinary thing, but Gao Ding and Zhang Shun objected, on the grounds that most of the soldiers were blind at night, strongly opposed to night marching, and said that marching at night was likely to disperse most of the troops after dawn.
This is an incredible thing in Ling Jingyang's opinion, the feudal army is so backward in terms of organization, and he has also led the troops to march at night before, and there has been no large-scale fall and scattering of troops.

At this point, Ling Jingyang suddenly remembered that Gao Ding was Jiang Hao's subordinate before, and Zhang Shun was the Dashun army, and the two armies had not been trained by Zhang Luofu, and the level of organization of the troops was very low, so it was no wonder that the two did not agree to set off at night.
Ling Jingyang had no choice but to lead his direct troops and the Iron Fist Legion to set off at night, and let the two of them escort the grain and grass to Shanyin City immediately after dawn.
The two set off in Ling Jingyang, and also tried to advance with the troops, but their subordinates were listless, and there were people and grain and grass in the city to escort, so the two had to give up, and only Ling Jingyang rushed to Shanyin City with more than 1,500 troops.
After dawn the next day, Ling Jingyang still did not rush to Sanyin City, but came to Mayi City, where the corpses were piled up, Ling Jingyang ordered the army to rest here for a while, and after a hurried breakfast, he continued to advance towards Shanyin.
At this time, Shanyin City, still besieged by the Qing army, last night Li Guo led the rear battalion troops to break through, the beginning of the breakthrough was very smooth, successfully broke through the Qing army's defense line in the northwest direction, the whole army retreated to Pingyuwei, but I don't know which place to come to reinforce the Qing army, here and the Dashun army collided together.
The two armies fought on the spot, giving Jierharang the opportunity to reorganize the troops, after Jierharang organized the troops, rushed over with the troops, Li Guo saw that the team was flanked by the Qing army, and immediately ordered to withdraw to the city, the breakthrough was unsuccessful, but also killed more than 1,000 Qing troops, and the loss of the Dashun army was only hundreds.
Back in the city, Li Guo was a little annoyed, but Gao Yigong asked him not to complain, rest well, and wait for the breakthrough tomorrow night, Li Guo did not refute Gao Yigong, and returned to the city to fall asleep, Gao Yigong took half of the soldiers to defend on the city wall.
The Dashun army did not succeed in breaking through, but it shocked Jierharang, the combat effectiveness of the Qing garrison in Datong Prefecture was outrageously low, and thousands of Dashun troops successfully broke through the defense line, if it were not for a timely reinforcement, the Dashun army would have broken through the encirclement.
He came to the northwest position of Shanyin City with a gloomy face, here is a green battalion garrison responsible for garrisoning here, Jierharang asked his own soldiers to call the garrison, and the garrison came to Jierharang with his head down, last night his position was broken through by the Dashun army, and he was a little afraid to look at Jierharang's eyes.
Jierharang had the idea of killing the garrison, but after killing this garrison, the combat effectiveness of the other green battalion soldiers was not still like that, he held back his anger and said to the garrison in plain language: "Last night, this king was negligent and did not give you additional troops in time, so don't be broken through by the Dashun army in the future." ”
When the garrison saw that Zilharang was not angry, his heart was overjoyed, and he immediately stood up straight, and swore to Zilharang that he would never let a soldier of the Dashun army pass through his position.
After turning around the northwest position, he came to the foot of Shanyin City, wanting to talk to the generals of the Dashun army in the city, and wanted to persuade this Dashun army to surrender.
He was very impressed by the combat effectiveness of this Dashun army, and if he became his subordinate, the strength of the Qing army would be even stronger.
Gao Yigong was on duty on the city wall last night, Li Guo slept for a night, came back to replace him, and the two of them heard Ji'er Harang persuade him to surrender under the city at the same time, as long as they returned to the Qing Dynasty, the two could tear the earth and seal the marquis, and there were ten thousand taels of gold, Li Guo and Gao Yigong came to the city wall after listening.
Li Guo and Jierharang roared angrily: "Dog Jiannu, isn't the gold all robbed by you, use the robbed gold to reward Lao Tzu, and don't look at Lao Tzu will scarce your shit." ”
After speaking, he ordered the archers to shoot arrows at Zilharang, of course, the distance was too far, and it did not hurt a single hair of Jilharang, but it also showed the attitude of the Dashun army to fight the Qing army to the end.
Seeing that persuasion was useless, Zilharang ordered the siege to continue.
The garrisons of the Qing army in Datong Prefecture were still rushing to Shanyin, and among the many Qing army reinforcements, mixed with Ling Jingyang's team, Ling Jingyang led the troops to advance from the main road, and encountered three small-scale Qing troops along the way, all of which were routed by his order. By the time they arrived at the outskirts of Shanyin City, more than 20,000 Qing troops had been gathered here.
Ling Jingyang obviously felt that the Qing army besieging Shanyin City was a rabble, so he decided to break through to the city to join Li Guo, but Mei Shaozuo came to him and said to him: "Dudu, Xu Sheng is back." ”
Xu Sheng came to Ling Jingyang with a Qing army captive, Ling Jingyang looked at him, and the captive, not understanding what Xu Sheng meant.
"Governor, this thief is a thousand commanders of the Qing army, and he was tied up by us, and the last general got some information from him, and specially came to report to the governor."
Ling Jingyang was a little interested, Xu Sheng asked this Qian Zong and Ling Jingyang to say, Qian Zong was afraid of death, he and Ling Jingyang said: "When I was a child, I received a military order from Jierharang the morning before yesterday, ordering the defenders from all over Datong Mansion to assemble in Shanyin County, and the small one also led the troops to reinforce Shanyin County. ”
This Qian always took more than 500 people to reinforce Shanyin County, after arriving in Shanyin County, he took his own soldiers to find a woman in a nearby village, and was beaten by Xu Sheng with the wild girl, nine of the ten soldiers died, and the remaining one of the soldiers saw that they couldn't beat the wild girl, so they tied up the thousand president and gave it to Xu Sheng respectfully.
Xu Sheng was also surprised that this pro-soldier was a complete villain, he couldn't see the villain the most, and after taking the Qing army to a remote corner, he stabbed Mr. Qian's pro-soldier to death with a shot, and put a spear on Mr. Qian's ear, asking Mr. Qian why he came to Shanyin City.
Mr. Qian hurriedly told Xu Sheng that he was ordered by Ji'er Harang to reinforce Shanyin City, and it happened that Ling Jingyang also led the troops to the outskirts of Shanyin City at this time, and Xu Sheng immediately took Mr. Qian to see Ling Jingyang.
Ling Jingyang asked Mr. Qian: "You said that Jierharang mobilized the Qing army of Datong Mansion to attack Shanyin County, so how many soldiers and horses, how much grain and grass are there in Datong City?" ”
"There are only more than 1,000 people, tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass, if the adults want to take Datong City, the villains are willing to respond to the adults, and they can call the door, just ask the adults not to kill me."
Ling Jingyang is very contradictory, at this time, the raid on Datong City, it is very likely to capture Datong City, not only has one more military town, but also can obtain a lot of materials, but at this time, if the Dashun army is not saved, Li Guo and others are afraid that they will be lost in this Shanyin.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Xu Sheng seemed to see the contradiction in Ling Jingyang's heart, and he mustered up the courage to say: "Dudu, the last general thinks..."
"Why?"
"Righteousness first, the governor will not save the Dashun army today, and attack Datong City, even if he breaks through Datong City, I am afraid that I will never see the soldiers of the Dashun Army in Shanyin City again."
Xu Sheng is a martial idiot, and he actually has such benevolence and righteousness, Ling Jingyang no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the troops to prepare for battle, and broke into Shanyin City in the evening, and Li Guo met in the city, and then broke through together.
Ling Jingyang is only fifteen miles away from Shanyin City, and there are Qing cavalry here, as long as he sees the Qing cavalry, Ling Jingyang will order them all to be killed, so that the later the Qing army knows that he arrives in Shanyin, the better.
After all, the Qing army is not all scarecrows, when Ling Jingyang continued to advance to the ten miles of Shanyin City, Jierharang finally knew that the Ming army had arrived on the battlefield, he thought that the Ming army was numerous, but the scout told him that the Ming army was only more than 1,000 people, Jierharang was a little confused, more than 1,000 Ming troops dared to come to reinforce the Dashun army?
He ordered the garrison stationed in the northwest direction last night, led the troops and horses of the headquarters to annihilate the Ming army, and there were more than 2,000 soldiers in the garrison.
The Qing army outside the city suddenly moved, and the Dashun army in the city once again launched a breakthrough, this time Li Guo took the lead, after Gao Yigong, the two cooperated very tacitly, Jierharang watched the Dashun army break through from the northwest again, and hurriedly led the troops to go up, wanting to annihilate the Dashun army, or drive the Dashun army back.
The Dashun army and the Qing army once again broke out into a fierce battle, this time the Dashun army fought hard to break through, and the Qing army vomited blood to beat the Dashun army back.
The Qing army and the Dashun army fought fiercely, Ling Jingyang also led the army to the battlefield, he saw tens of thousands of soldiers fighting in the northwest direction of Shanyin City, he led the troops to launch a fierce attack from behind, Qingju can have the strongest combat effectiveness of the troops is fighting with the Dashun army, and the outside are the last garrison troops.
The Ming army was suddenly defeated, and the main force of the Qing army that was attacking the Dashun army was scattered, this is a good opportunity, Ling Jingyang led the troops to storm the main force of the Qing army, the Dashun army saw the Ming army coming to help, and also fought desperately, and attacked the command center of Jierharang like crazy, the Qing army in the Ming army and the Dashun army came to get food after the New Year, and finally decided that it was insufficient, and Jierharang was unable to do anything, and withdrew from the battlefield with a small number of troops.
Ling Jingyang ordered all the soldiers to chant on the battlefield and go north to Datong City, after the soldiers of the Dashun Army heard Ling Jingyang shouting. They also issued slogans to go north to Datong City, and thousands of Ming troops and Dashun troops pursued Jierharang, who was retreating to Datong City.
There are only a few hundred soldiers left in Jierharang, and this time he wants to retreat to Datong City quickly and wait for reinforcements in Datong City, but Ling Jingyang did not give him this opportunity, Ling Jingyang asked Mei Shaozuo to go back and tell Zhang Shun and Gao Ding, and take grain and grass to Datong City to meet with the army.
Ling Jingyang's life has never been so happy, on the way to pursue the Qing army, there are constantly Qing soldiers kneeling on both sides to surrender, these prisoners are taken away by the Dashun army, Ling Jingyang does not need these garbage troops who will only surrender and consume grain and grass, he is dedicated to Datong City, as long as Datong City is captured, it will compress the living space of the Qing army.
Shanyin to Datong City to pass through Andong Zhongtunwei, here the Qing army has long gone to support Shanyin, and was defeated by Ling Jingyang in the melee, Jierharang retreated here, the Ming army also followed, Jierharang ordered the troops to fight, just a battle, the Dashun army was killed on the back foot, after a slash, the Qing army was defeated, so it had to continue to retreat.
There are 100 kilometers from Andong Zhongtunwei to Datong City, in order to survive, Jierharang only retreated on horseback with a few small brain axes, and the remnants of the Qing army saw that Jierharang abandoned them, so they lost their determination to continue to resist, and after being caught up by the Ming army, they either surrendered or threw away their weapons and became deserters.
Ling Jingyang still failed to catch up with Jierharang, he felt a little pity, at this time to go to Datong City, with such a small number of troops, it was almost impossible to capture Datong City, but Li Guo was very happy, this battle, wiped out tens of thousands of troops of the Qing army, including more than 10,000 prisoners, and the captives in western Zhejiang will become soldiers of the Dashun Army after being captured.
He was also very grateful to Ling Jingyang for coming to reinforcements, and seeing that Ling Jingyang was a little depressed, he said to Ling Jingyang: "How can you defeat Jiannu and still have this face?" ”
Ling Jingyang replied to him, there is no ability to go north to Datong City, Li Guo smiled, he told Ling Jingyang that the main force of the Dashun Army has entered Datong Mansion from Yan'an Mansion, and has occupied the military town and city in the west of Datong Mansion, and the forward army of the Dashun Army will be killed under Datong City in ten days.
"Aren't you the only ones coming to Shanxi?"
Li Guo laughed at Ling Jingyang's such a good opportunity, if the Dashun army is still lying in Shaanxi, wouldn't it be self-contained and self-defeating, Ling Jingyang heard Li Guo say this, and felt better, Li Guo asked him to lead the troops to withdraw, and told Ling Jingyang that His Majesty would give Shuoxian, Mayi, and Shanyin as gifts to Ling Jingyang.
Li Zicheng did this to let Ling Jingyang cross between the Dashun army and the Chongzhen court, so as to reduce the military conflict between Dashun and the Ming Dynasty, Ling Jingyang also understood the intentions of the Dashun army, he and Li Guo said: "Thank you for me, Your Majesty, but I still want to attack Datong City with the general." ”
Li Guo was extremely smart, he thought of Ling Jingyang's intention to attack Datong City, and said: "Ling Jingyang, is the grain and grass in Datong City that make you salivate?" ”
was seen through by Li Guo, Ling Jingyang did not blush, Dafang Fang and Li Guo admitted that there was a shortage of grain and grass in the army, and wanted to go to Datong City to get some grain and grass for the soldiers and civilians in Ningwuguan to spend the winter, and he also told Li Guo that he also had a grain protection team, and he was on the way to Shanyin, and these grains and grass had 5,000 stones, which was enough for thousands of them to eat Datong City.
Ling Jingyang wanted to give these grains and grass to Li Guo, but at this time, the Qing army had already been defeated, so it was better to take the grain and grass all the way to Datong City, and he could grab more supplies from the Qing army along the way.
Li Guo readily agreed to Ling Jingyang's request, the two armies marched towards Datong City, Mei Shaozuo also informed Zhang Shun and Gao Ding in time, and the two also rushed to Datong City with the grain protection team, and Lin Jingyang and the grain protection team met on the way, the Dashun army and the Ming army were starving, and the five thousand stone grain and grass were like life-saving straws, so that the Ming army and the soldiers of the Dashun army were rejuvenated again
