Jierharang didn't want to be dumplings by the Dashun army here, and decided to break through, Liu Zongmin expected that the Qing army would break through, how could these Jiannu who had just come from outside the pass to burn and plunder in the pass, how could they be willing to throw their lives in the pass?

He asked Zhang Ding to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to ambush at the east gate of Datong Mansion, he led 10,000 soldiers and horses to ambush at the south gate, Li Guo to ambush at the north gate, and Ling Jingyang to garrison the west gate.

The Qing army chose to break through the city gate happened to be the west gate, but also the weakest defensive line of the coalition army, that night, Zierharang led 3,000 soldiers and horses from the west gate to kill, was Ling Jingyang led the troops to block, the two armies fought in the open space outside the city, the nearby Dashun army heard the movement, all came to support.

Zilharang failed to break through the siege for the first time, and wanted to retreat to the city, but was blocked by Liu Zongmin's troops, and after a fierce battle, the Qing army was almost annihilated.

Jierharang was also captured by the Dashun army, Liu Zongmin ordered the Dashun army to enter the city, and asked the generals to rush back to the base camp, and His Majesty reported the good news, Ling Jingyang also came to Datong City, Liu Zongmin is also a man, sent him 10,000 stone grain and grass, and then made a gesture of invitation with Ling Jingyang.

Ling Jingyang understood his thoughts, took 10,000 stones, grain and grass, and hundreds of Qing army prisoners back to Ningwu Pass, returned to Ningwu Pass from Datong City, and the group walked for five days and five nights, and finally returned to Ningwu Pass on the afternoon of the sixth day.

Ling Jingyang stuffed Wang Chengyun and other prisoners into the prisoner camp, and then came to the mansion and convened a meeting of Ningwuguan civil and military officials, after everyone came, Ling Jingyang saw Fang Xiaoyan in the corner, as a special bureau, there is no need to participate in this kind of meeting, but Fang Xiaoyan came, then Fang Xiaoyan must have important information, Ling Jingyang and Fang Xiaoyan nodded, Fang Xiaoyan understood, lowered his head and said nothing.

Ling Jingyang looked at the crowd at the venue, Shi Tie was also there, he finally woke up after being in a coma for several days, and woke up to find that the Iron Fist Legion and Ling Jingyang went to attack Datong Mansion, he and a group of wounded soldiers recuperated well, after Ling Jingyang came back, let the soldiers of the Iron Fist Legion return to the camp to rest, and also acquiesced to Shi Tie continuing to serve as the commander of the Iron Fist Legion.

After everyone sat down, Ling Jingyang and everyone said: "Everyone, this time our army went on an expedition to Datong Mansion to eliminate Wang Chengyun's department, as well as the Jiannu Jierharang department, and the Dashun army has captured Datong City. ”

Hearing this news, the civil and military officials at all levels of Ling Jingyang's small group all shouted excitedly, they had not heard the news of the defeat of the Qing army for a long time, Ling Jingyang said: "The Dashun army sent Shuoxian, Mayi, and Shanyin counties to our army, and our army will garrison these three places from now on, and some of the people will also disperse to these three places to eat. ”

Ling Jingyang did this, which was a good solution to the pressure of Ningwuguan's heavy population burden, but who should go to these three places, Ling Jingyang asked everyone present who volunteered to go?

Li Rufeng asked to go to Shuoxian, Gao Ding asked to go to Mayi, Zhang Shun asked to go to Shanyin, Lao Mantou led the artillery battalion soldiers to not go to these three places, he kept his head silent, Shi Tie was not willing to go to these three places, he wanted to garrison Ningwu Pass.

Ling Jingyang happily agreed to the three of them, and ordered them to lead the army into these three county towns tomorrow, and disperse about 6,000 people in each county town, so that the people could cultivate all the land, and asked Wang Mu to send local officials to these three places to start collecting taxes in the local area to accumulate strength for the army.

Subsequently, the officials also reported to Ling Jingyang that the military and civilians of Ningwuguan were there

Hundreds of soldiers once again became rebels, under the command of a thousand conspired to rebel, trying to kill the gate guards in the city, to defect to the Qing army, fortunately Li Rufeng led the troops to suppress, killed more than 100 people on the spot, the other rebel soldiers were blocked at the city gate, Li Rufeng wanted to kill them all, but Wang Mu proposed, tie up these people, and wait for the governor of Lingdu to come back to decide life and death.

After listening to this, Ling Jingyang frowned, fortunately Li Rufeng was left in Ningwu Pass, otherwise he would have been captured by this group of rebels, he asked Wang Mu to gather the people of the whole city tomorrow and behead the rebels to see who would dare to rebel in the future.

Wang Mu asked Wang Bao to assist him, Wang Bao served in the Governor's Mansion, and there were more than 100 servants under his hands, he looked at Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang nodded, and asked Wang Bao to assist Wang Mu, and asked the Governor's Mansion to write down the names of the rebels, and then engraved them on the city wall, so that this group of people will be stinking for 10,000 years.

Ling Jingyang asked the crowd if there was anything else to report?

Everyone shook their heads, Ling Jingyang ordered the meeting to be dismissed, after Wang Mu and the others left, Fang Xiaoyan came to the venue, he and Ling Jingyang saluted respectfully, and then stepped forward and said, "Congratulations on the victorious return of the governor." ”

"Fang Xiaoyan, don't talk about me here, talk about those surrendered soldiers, how many people are hiding in the corner to plot a rebellion?"

Fang Xiaoyan ordered all the personnel of the Special Bureau to infiltrate the various armies, only Xu Yun was a female streamer, who practiced fire guns in the warehouse all day long, and the others were soldiers in the surrender team, after the continuous efforts of the officers and men of the Special Bureau, they finally found a head to provoke trouble, this person was a garrison of the green battalion soldiers, unwilling to become a Ming army, and even more unwilling to surrender to the Ming army, demoted to a general, he has been hiding in the dark to incite the surrender of the troops to rebel, that Qian always led the troops to seize the door, which he single-handedly planned.

Ling Jingyang asked him how many such troops there were, and Fang Xiaoyan replied to him that there were more than 600 people, most of whom felt that they could not burn and plunder in the Ming army, or that it was more promising to follow the Qing army to burn and kill.

"Hmph, a bunch of white-eyed wolves that can't be raised."

"Governor, do you want to drag these people out and kill them?"

"Kill, of course you want something, but not now, our army brought back hundreds of prisoners from Datong Mansion this time, and let these prisoners kill these cheap bones."

Ling Jingyang summoned Shi Tie and asked Shi Tie to lead the Iron Fist Legion to tie up the hidden rebels, Shi Tie didn't know who were the rebels, he said: "Dudu, the last general doesn't know who the rebels are?" ”

"I'll let Fang Xiaoyan lead the way, you only need to be responsible for kidnapping people."

Shi Tie glanced at Fang Xiaoyan, Fang Xiaoyan also showed a smile with him, Ling Jingyang asked the two of them to act tonight, and the two immediately returned to their respective barracks and mansions to gather their subordinates to act.

On this night, more than 500 hidden rebels were tied up and sent to a prisoner of war camp with Wang Chengyun and others, and after dawn the next day, the officials in the city woke up the people and asked the soldiers and civilians to gather under the city wall.

Many people did not know what to do, and they took their families to the open space under the city wall, watched a big drum set up on the city wall, and thought that there was a good show today, and endured the hunger and thirst of not eating breakfast, and watched a group of captives being dragged to the city wall.

These captives were all rebels who launched a rebellion to seize the gate, and they were dragged to the city walls, and many realized that they were going to be beheaded.

Frightened and crying, Wang Mu and dozens of officials, in front of the soldiers and civilians of the city, announced these attempts to surrender to the Qing army again, and conspired to launch a rebellion, killing dozens of officers and soldiers, according to the Da Ming order, beheaded.

After Wang Mu finished reading it, one of the captives shouted, "Don't kill." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came up with a knife, the captive's head rolled down the city wall, and the other captives moved around in fright, Wang Bao came over with a big knife, and behind him were more than a hundred officials with ghost head knives, each of whom came to the back of a rebel and put the big knife on the rebel's neck, Wang Bao yelled: "Kill"

With the knife in hand, the heads of more than 100 rebel soldiers fell to the ground, and there was silence under the city wall, Wang Mu said again: "Whoever dares to surrender in the future will be the end." ”

This time the rebels were killed, so that the people in the city who had two hearts did not dare to have the idea of going to the Qing army-occupied area to seek a living, and some soldiers who were not determined did not dare to defect to other forces, only Wang Chengyun in the prisoner of war camp, and more than 400 subordinates who were captured with him, watching the Ming army killing prisoners, everyone had a pain on their faces that they were about to be killed.

Suddenly, a group of Ming soldiers armed with weapons rushed into the prisoner of war camp, Wang Chengyun and his subordinates looked at the Ming army pitifully, begging the Ming army not to kill them, but the Ming soldiers put down their weapons, Fang Xiaoyan came to them, and said: "Lingdu Governor has an order, Ling'er and others kill the traitors, kill a traitor today, and let you go back tomorrow." ”

Only then did Wang Chengyun react, Ling Jingyang was going to use their hands to eliminate the rebels in the army, no wonder there were more than 500 people in the prisoner of war camp this morning, and they were all rebels.

Fang Xiao saw that the captives did not move, and said again: "If you don't kill the traitor today, the traitor will kill you." ”

More than 500 rebels were also driven to Wang Chengyun and others opposite, Fang Xiaoyan withdrew from the prisoner of war camp with the Ming army, and there were two groups of Qing prisoners left in the entire prisoner of war camp.

Ling Jingyang took the officials of the Governor's Mansion and watched the battle of the prisoner of war camp on the city wall, and at noon, the prisoner of war camp was divided into winners and losers, and Ling Jingyang had only one request, Wang Chengyun did not die, and if he died, there would be no silver and grain and grass.

Fortunately, the last to come out of the prisoner of war camp were Wang Chengyun and his subordinates, Wang Chengyun's subordinates still had more than 90 people left, each of whom had the blood of Qing soldiers on their hands, and they knew that they would never go back.

Ling Jingyang let the direct army enter the prisoner of war camp, took Wang Chengyun to the governor's mansion to rest, and then threw the corpse out, and finally released this group of prisoners, but no one in this group of prisoners was willing to leave, and they did not dare to leave, they all stood still in the prisoner of war camp, and some people prayed to become Ming soldiers.

Ling Jingyang and Wang Mu smiled and said, "Lord Wang, do you think these people can become officials and soldiers?" ”

Wang Mu nodded, feeling that Ling Jingyang was a ghost, and after he nodded, he also deliberately looked at Zhou Yuan on the side, meaning that the kid wasn't doing it against me, why didn't he shake his head this time?

Zhou Yuan is not stupid, this is Ling Jingyang's idea, why did he come with Ling Jingyang, he also came to Ling Jingyang on purpose, praised Ling Du for supervising the army, and made Wang Mu stare at him with a beard.
