Wei Lan and Xu Sheng and others quietly came to the foothills on the north side of Huanghualing, there was indeed a hidden road here, Wei Lan said softly to Xu Sheng: "This place used to be used by the border army to resell weapons, and most people didn't know about it. ”

Xu Sheng didn't talk nonsense with him, he wanted to climb up as soon as possible and burn Jiannu's baggage, he and Wei Lan said: "Mr. Wei, let's hurry up and set a fire to Jiannu." ”

Wei Lan didn't talk too much, and Xu Sheng and the others changed into green battalion uniforms, and then bent down to climb up, Xu Sheng followed him, and the group climbed to the top of the mountain amid the scolding of the Qing army and the Ming army.

After climbing up, a squad of more than 20 Qing soldiers was cruising on the north side, Xu Sheng pulled out a dagger, wanting to kill these Qing soldiers, Wei Lan made a false gesture with him, and let everyone follow him to lie down.

After the Qing army team passed by here, they went to another place, Wei Lan and Xu Sheng looked at the night sky, there were many trees here, but they didn't see the warehouse, thinking that the warehouse should be somewhere else, but Wei Lan didn't care, he and Xu Sheng said: "You can set fire to kill this group of Jiannu." ”

Xu Sheng and his subordinates nodded, and their subordinates lit the fire with fire breakers, ignited the nearby grass, and then sprinkled the gunpowder farther away so that the fire could burn continuously.

When he came to a place down the hill, Xu Sheng suddenly saw a house, and he said to Wei Lan: "Look at that? ”

Wei Lan looked at it and felt that this house looked like a warehouse of the Qing army, and rushed down with Xu Sheng and others, and saw dozens of Qing soldiers on the way.

The Qing soldiers thought that Wei Lan was their own people, and asked Wei Lan and the others what they were doing, Wei Lan pulled out his waist knife, slashed it over, and cut the oncoming Qing army to the ground, Xu Shengxu rushed forward and attacked and fought with the Qing army.

This group of green battalion soldiers was raided by the Ming army, and was beaten so that they couldn't find the north, many people shouted loudly, someone robbed the camp, and was hacked to death by the Ming army in the next second, and the nearby Qing army heard the sound and hurriedly rushed to support, but at this time, the fire in the mountains spread, and many Qing soldiers saw that there was a fire, and they were busy fighting the fire.

The Ming army who scolded the formation at the foot of the mountain saw the fire in the mountain, and immediately made a feint posture, so frightened that the Qing army did not dare to put out the fire, there were many dead trees in the mountain, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger.

Everyone rushed in, and when they saw that it was full of neat grain and grass, Xu Sheng didn't think about it, so he quickly lit a fire in this warehouse, lit the fire, and then went to another warehouse to set fire.

Wei Lan suddenly stopped him and said to him: "Brother Xu, that's enough, if we go any further, we won't be able to retreat." ”

"How much did it burn, and Jiannu extinguished it as soon as it was pounced."

"How can it be so easy to extinguish fires, there is a mountain wind in the mountains, it won't be long before the whole mountain will be burned, I let you go, not for fear of Jiannu, but for fear of being burned to death by the fire."

At Wei Lan's insistence, Xu Sheng took his subordinates to retreat with him, and on the way to retreat, the fire was like a fire dragon, almost igniting the entire mountain.

When Xu Sheng and others retreated, no Qing army came up to fight, the Qing army on the whole mountain was like a headless fly scurrying around, some people put out fires, and some people ran down the mountain, among which Major General Zhu ran down the mountain with his troops, he didn't want to be buried with the Qing army here.

It's not just him, the Qing army in the mountains doesn't want to be burned to death, the fire in the mountains can't be extinguished, where can thousands of Qing troops still care about Rong Zhi's order, and rush down the mountain frantically.

The Qing army broke up from the mountain, and Ling Jingyang did not lead the troops to charge, but made way for the Qing army, allowing the Qing army to rush down the mountain with all their strength.

Li Rufeng did not launch an attack, he also knew that this group of Qing soldiers who were burned by the fire were running forward without their lives, and if they launched a charge at this time, many of them might be scattered by the Qing army.

Huanghualing was completely burned on this night, hundreds of thousands of stones, grains and grass in the mountain, and other baggage were burned by the fire, and thousands of Qing troops ran down the mountain without time to rest.

The cavalry of the Ming army roared in, where did the Qing army still have the strength to resist, and the heads of the Ming army were cut off and flying, and the Qing army was killed and ran, and those who surrendered surrendered.

Ling Jingyang also rode on a horse for the first time to attack, it felt very different from foot combat, maintaining balance on the horse was the most important, he only killed two Qing soldiers in the battle, but Li Rufeng and Qin Lie were too enjoyable.

After dawn, the 5,000 Qing army was completely defeated, most of the Qing soldiers went to the direction of Yicheng, and a few Qing troops went to Taiyuan City.

After the Ming army defeated the Qing army, they did not retreat immediately, but the whole army walked up to Huanghualing, Qin Lie asked Ling Jingyang why he came to the mountain?

Ling Jingyang didn't believe that a fire last night could burn all the baggage of the Qing army, and he ordered the troops to look in the mountains to see if there was any grain and grass that had been burned or buried in the ground by the Qing army.

At the same time, he ordered to reward Xu Sheng and Wei Lan, promoted Wei Lan to the general manager of the directly subordinate troops, and Xu Sheng became the deputy general manager of the directly subordinate troops.

Before the next sentence was spoken, Ling Jingyang told the two to shut up, and at this time, Li Rufeng ran out of the mountain and reported to Ling Jingyang that there was still a lot of grain and grass in the mountains that had not been burned.

Ling Jingyang asked him how much grain and grass the whole army could bring.

Li Rufeng and Ling Jingyang said: "One hundred and twenty or forty soldiers were killed in the battle last night, and the whole army still has 1,900 war horses and more than 600 pack horses, and each horse can carry a stone of grain and grass. ”

"Bring everything you can, and burn the rest."

The Ming army continued to set fire to the mountains again, this time burning all the grain and grass of the Qing army in Huanghualing, after burning the grain and grass, Li Rufeng and Qin Lie asked Ling Jingyang where to go?

Ling Jingyang really wanted to go to Yicheng to see if the Qing army in Yicheng would riot because the grain and grass were burned, and then cause a bloody collapse.

But he still held back his curiosity, and in order to maximize his benefits, he led his troops to withdraw to Taiyuan City to see if he could capture Taiyuan City.

...

Taiyuan City.

Rong Zhi came here with twenty personal soldiers, he is the deputy commander of the Eight Banners, and his position in the Qing army is very high, and when the Eight Banners soldiers in Taiyuan City see him, they must respectfully call the deputy commander, and he finally found a woman in the city, and he can't wait to get into the woman's stomach in one breath.

After dinner, Rong Zhi and the city guards fell asleep with the prostitutes in their arms, and after dawn the next day, he felt that the prostitutes in Taiyuan City tasted really good, and he was really reluctant to go back, but he could not continue to take them with him in Taiyuan City, and he wanted to bring the prostitutes back to Huanghualing.

The Qing army in the city understood what he meant, so they generously gave him the prostitute, and Rong Zhi returned to Huanghualing with five prostitutes and his own soldiers.

On the way back, he saw three or three Qing soldiers, and felt that these Qing soldiers were somewhat familiar.
