Chapter 434: Heading South (4)
Ling Jingyang couldn't figure it out, he pondered on the city wall for a long time, and the guards such as Xu Sheng and Mei Shaozuo didn't dare to disturb him, Ling Jingyang suddenly felt a little frustrated in his heart, the Fusang army had already attacked the Goryeo Peninsula, and when he retreated to the Huguang area, it would be the beginning of spring next year.
With the strength of Fusang's modern army, the Qing army will be beaten and cannot take care of itself, so it will be seen whether the Qing army can withstand the attack of the Fusang army and give the Ming army, the Dashun army, and the Daxi army a chance to recuperate.
Unconsciously, the sky darkened, and Ling Jingyang found that in the evening, he shook his head, moved his muscles, and returned to the governor's mansion with the guards.
The entire Governor's Mansion was empty, and Ling Jingyang returned to Wen Yuanyang's Mansion, where he also made the final preparations before retreating, and only waited for tomorrow to go out of the city to Huguang.
That night, Ling Jingyang slept beautifully, and after dawn the next day, the whole city military and civilians held a swearing-in meeting in the city, Ling Jingyang announced that the whole army went to Huguang, and issued military regulations on the way south.
After the whole army had lunch, Ling Jingyang gave the order to set off, dozens of drummers beat the rapid drums, and the soldiers and horses of Gao Ding's department rushed to the front, Gao Ding was absorbing some of the green battalion soldiers and prisoners, and the whole army recovered to more than 800 people.
This time to the south, his troops and horses were the vanguard, more than 800 people opened the way in front of the team, and the other troops and horses went out of the city in turn, the scene was not as good as the Great Western Army, but it was more orderly than the Great Western Army.
Ling Jingyang led the whole army to Huguang, before leaving, he and the six main generals ventilated, the southward route of the army was from Ningwu Pass to Pingyang Mansion, after entering Pingyang Mansion, to Yicheng located in the southwest of Pingyang Mansion, under the Yicheng City to show off his might, by the way forced Zhu Youzhan to send grain and baggage, and then the whole army went south to Henan.
More than 10,000 people marched from Ningwu Pass, the soldiers of the Dashun army in the city quietly took over the city defense, Gao Yigong and dozens of generals of the Dashun army, waved goodbye to Ling Jingyang on the city wall, and Ling Jingyang also waved to them to salute.
Because of the physical recuperation in Ningwuguan, the army advanced very fast, and walked fifteen kilometers in half a day, if it was not for the early dark, the army would have been able to continue to advance five kilometers south, and the team camped in a dilapidated village, a bunch

A bonfire was built on the ground, and the soldiers and civilians gathered around the bonfire and chatted.
Unlike ordinary soldiers, Ling Jingyang convened a meeting of senior generals and officials in a room, more than 100 people were left behind during the day today, and more than 80 of them left the team with weapons, Ling Jingyang ordered Li Rufeng to drive these people back, he wanted to whip the deserters in public to maintain the integrity of the team.
Li Rufeng had already asked his subordinates to pursue the deserters, and Ling Jingyang asked Wang Mu how the people were doing?
Wang Mu was a little proud and Ling Jingyang said that the people were very willing to support the army to go south, but they didn't know that after the team set up camp, the people went to the nearby toilets and the old houses to pull something, Ling Jingyang and the old steamed bun smiled.
Suddenly, a shadow ran in from outside the door, and everyone saw that it was Gao Ding.
Gao Ding's face was very panicked, and he said to Ling Jingyang: "Dudu, is there an unknown army activity in Guanshui Mountain?" ”
Ling Jingyang and others showed an incredible expression on their faces, the Ming army was also fighting in Guanshuo Mountain before, after the battle, all the generals agreed that Guanshuo Mountain was not suitable for defense, if it was surrounded by enemy troops, the entire Guanshuo Mountain would be in a desperate situation.
Which army is camped here?
He and Gao Ding ordered: "Gao Ding, there are also directly subordinate troops and I to take charge of Weishan, and the soldiers and horses of the other departments will strengthen their vigilance tonight to guard against the enemy's sneak attack on the camp." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Shun, who was sitting on the left side of Ling Jingyang, stood up and said, "Governor, your two troops are too small, can I go with my troops and horses?" ”
Ling Jingyang did not hesitate for a moment, agreed to Zhang Shun's request, and took two soldiers and horses to rush to Guan Shushan Mountain.
At this time, the barracks were silent, most of the soldiers and civilians fell asleep, and suddenly thousands of soldiers and horses left with weapons on their shoulders, causing a commotion, but under the command of the generals on duty at night, they quickly calmed down.
Ling Jingyang led the troops to rush to Guanshuo Mountain, and the forward battalion had dozens of scouts at the foot of Guanshuo Mountain, and they had been paying close attention to the enemy situation in Guanshuo Mountain.
After the arrival of the large army, the sky turned white, and the scouts reported to Ling Jingyang and other generals the intelligence of Guan Shu Mountain, there was a force of thousands of people in Guan Shu Mountain, because it was dark, the scouts could not see which side of the army belonged to?

Gao Ding and Ling Jingyang asked for instructions, do you want to meet this army for a while?
Ling Jingyang looked at the crowds on Guan Shu Mountain, there are at least more than 2,000 troops in the mountain, a hard attack can eat this army, and you can grab a lot of loot, you can go to Huguang from here, and attack the city along the way, even if there are millions of troops, you can't withstand the bloody battles along the way.
He decided to value peace and asked Gao Ding to negotiate with this army: "You go and consult with the people on the mountain, tell them that our army is going to Henan, let them get out of the way, and you pay attention to safety." ”
"Order."
Gao Ding took dozens of personal soldiers, ran down the mountain, at the foot of Guanshui Mountain, there are hundreds of soldiers cruising, most of them are stragglers, and many soldiers are the green battalion soldiers who were defeated a few days ago, captured by this army, surrendered, immediately cut off their braids to become a new force, and those who did not surrender were cut off with braids.
At the top of Guanshui Mountain, Zhang Luofu was looking at the Ming army under the mountain, he received information last night that this army was coming from the direction of Ningwu Pass.
Isn't Ning Wuguan the garrison of Ling Jingyang's army, Zhang Luofu has always been ashamed of Ling Jingyang, I heard that Ling Jingyang's army passed by here, he ordered to remove the sentry post on the road, not to attack the Ming army, and those who attacked the Ming army were beheaded to show the public.
Many subordinates didn't understand his behavior, but this Ming army brought piles of supplies, and if they robbed this Ming army, the whole army would have a year's worth of food and grass.
Zhang Luofu repeatedly ordered, throwing a general who did not obey the meeting, and last night with more than 100 soldiers tried to sneak attack the Ming army scouts at the foot of the mountain, after Zhang Luofu knew, without saying a word, he took his own soldiers to chop off the general's head, and the other soldiers were so frightened that they didn't dare to squeak.
A general came running out of breath from the bottom of the mountain and said to him, "General, someone is coming down the mountain. ”
Zhang Luofu and Gao Ding were not familiar with each other, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates, who is coming?
The subordinates didn't know Gao Ding either, but said that he was a general of the Ming army, and he only brought more than 20 personal soldiers and asked to meet the general.
Zhang Luofu didn't want to see Ling Jingyang's troops in his heart, but if he didn't meet at this time, it would cause misunderstanding among other soldiers, so he still went to see Gao Ding.
