At this time, his whole army was only more than 10,000 people, and the troops of more than 10,000 people could not play a decisive role in the general battle, nor could they bear the defeat, as long as there was a defeat in a battle, the entire army would be completely defeated, so he needed to expand his territory and form more armies, even if he was defeated by the Qing army in the Qing army, he also had a chance to make a comeback.

Li Dingguo didn't say anything, he seemed to think of something, and said to Ling Jingyang: "There is still a garrison of the Ming army in the Huguang area, which can be formed into a field army. ”

"General Xie Dingguo's kindness, those garrison troops are probably not as good as the rabble, even if they are rearmed, it will take time to practice."

"If you don't co-opt them, you'll be co-opted by Jiannu."

Li Dingguo also said from the bottom of his heart, Ling Jingyang gladly accepted his viewpoint, and the two exchanged combat experience with the Qing army, and both believed that the Qing army was indeed invincible in foot combat, and it was necessary to take advantage of the favorable time, place and people in future battles to win.

In the middle of the night, Li Dingguo returned to the south of the city with a group of drunken subordinates, and the cavalry battalion pursuing the Qing army also returned to the city.

The cavalry battalion pursued the Qing army to Shangcai County, where it encountered the remnants of Liu Liangzuo's army, Liu Liangzuo did not want to fight with the Great Western Army, and regardless of the Qing army that withdrew from Xiping City, he retreated to Guide Mansion with his descendants.

The remnants of the Qing army in Xiping City were defeated and saw that Liu Liangzuo gave up the rescue, almost lost the confidence to escape, and was rushed up by the Great Western Army, and was killed like a river of blood, most of them were wiped out, and only a very small number of remnants rushed out.

The cavalry battalion returned to Xiping City with the head of the Qing army, Li Dingguo convened his generals to discuss whether to pursue Liu Liangzuo, most of the generals were drunk, but there were no generals who drank alcohol, they thought that today's siege battle, the soldiers were exhausted, and forcibly pursued Liu Liangzuo, which could easily lead to a mutiny, and was more likely to be defeated by the Qing army.

Li Dingguo was full of energy, but he also considered the hard work of his subordinates, so he gave up pursuing Liu Liangzuo and ordered to strengthen the vigilance to prevent Liu Liangzuo from raiding.

He personally took his own soldiers to the city wall to sentry, but he overestimated Liu Liangzuo, how could Liu Liangzuo have the courage to sneak attack Xiping City, he took the troops all the way north, and retreated to Guide Mansion in one breath, where he returned

The Qing army of Defu joined forces and retreated to Luyi County, before ordering the troops to rest.

Liu Liangzuo's troops retreated, the Qing army in Henan only had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Guide Mansion, most of them were Liu Liangzuo's remnants, the Qing army was defeated in Runing Mansion, Dolgon was furious in the capital, tens of thousands of troops were wiped out by the Great Western Army and the Ming Army, and a light car lieutenant died, he wanted to kill Liu Liangzuo, but Liu Liangzuo was defeated, but he still brought back thousands of descendants.

It is also because of these thousands of descendant troops that the combat effectiveness is still quite strong, Liu Liangzuo was not forced to retire by Dolgon, and gave Liu Liangzuo tens of thousands of taels of silver to encourage him to revitalize the army's morale and guide the army to attack Henan.

Liu Liangzuo was encouraged by Dolgon to revitalize his troops and horses in Guide Province, but he gave up rescuing Hatai, which caused many people to be dissatisfied in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In particular, Hatai's body is still in Xiping City, and he is being observed by Ling Jingyang and other Ming army generals, and Hatai was hit by two bullets in the left chest, causing him to die of exhaustion.

Ling Jingyang learned from the captives that Hatai was the highest general of the Qing army in Xiping City, and Ling Jingyang specially asked the Governor's Mansion to order a reward, Xu Sheng enjoyed the treatment of a five-rank general, and the other eight snipers enjoyed the treatment of a six-rank general.

Xu Sheng and the sniper team made great contributions, but he was not arrogant, and talked to Ling Jingyang about the advantages and disadvantages of the rifle.

The advantage is that the accuracy is very high, I don't know how many times stronger than the three-eyed gun, and the range is also long, and it is easy to snipe the target at a distance of two hundred meters, but there are also disadvantages, that is, the penetration is too strong, and only by hitting the vital point can the enemy be killed.

In today's sniper, if he didn't hit Hatai in the chest, but only hit other parts of Hatai, Hatai would most likely come back to life, at least he wouldn't die on the spot, Ling Jingyang kept nodding, Xu Sheng figured out the rifle in a short period of time, and he was indeed very talented.

In order to let the sniper team play a greater role, Ling Jingyang reluctantly ordered Mei Shaozuo to return to Shandong, go to Fusang to get bullets in Shandong Tegaoke, Mei Shaozuo was defeated by Wang Xiao last time, and he was angry, this time he rescued Wang Xiao from the Qing army, and wanted to continue to challenge Wang Xiao, but he was ordered by Ling Jingyang to go to Shandong, which made him feel very painful in his heart.

He asked Ling Jingyang to let him duel with Wang Xiao and then go to Shandong, but Ling Jingyang gave him three fast horses and told him to hurry to Shandong to bring back bullets for the sniper team, and also asked six soldiers of the Special Bureau to escort him to Shandong.

Mei Shaozuo was reluctant to leave the team, Ling Jingyang told him that when he returned from Shandong to Huguang De'an Mansion and Huangzhou Mansion, he would lead the troops to be stationed here, and use the two state capitals as a base to expand the army, and when Mei Shaozuo came back from Shandong, he would promote Mei Shaozuo to the commander of the army directly under him, and let Mei Shaozuo lead an army of 1,000 people.

My Healing Game

After he left, Ling Jingyang summoned his generals to digest and absorb the surrendered troops, and some surrendered soldiers to desert and oppress the people, and killed them directly, this move is to maintain the cohesion of the troops, so as not to go all the way south and return to the Qing army.

The people of Yuncheng and other places in Kaifeng Prefecture arrived in Xiping City in the evening of the next day, rested in the city for one night, and on the morning of the third day, Ling Jingyang led a large army to leave Xiping City and march to Ruyang County.

The number of Ling Jingyang's troops was really too small, and they left Xiping City after a while, and Li Dingguo ordered the rebuilt Huben battalion to escort the Ming army to the south, and on the way south, they settled in the central and southern prefectures and counties of Runing Prefecture.

Under the escort of the Huben battalion, Ling Jingyang led the team to Ruyang County, and then from Ruyang County to the south, all the way forward, arrived at Luoshan, and finally came to Xinxiang County at the junction of Henan and Huguang, where there are a large number of military checkpoints.

There are more than 10 military checkpoints such as Tumen Pass, Loess Ridge Pass, Muling Pass, Dasheng Pass, etc., Li Rufeng and He Zhen led the leading troops to arrive here, He Zhen restored the troop structure, and his confidence was restored, he thought that these military fortresses had long been garrisoned by no army, and took Chen Yidao and other hundreds of Ming army soldiers into the first fortress Muling Pass.

Muling Pass is a military fortress of more than 1,000 people, stationed here 1,000, can resist more than five times the enemy's attack, He Zhen led the troops into Muling Pass, there was no one inside, He Zhen just wanted to shout outside the pass to enter the city.

Suddenly, a piercing sound of gongs and drums sounded, and thousands of soldiers and horses rushed out from the vicinity of Muling Pass, and they were armed with rudimentary weapons to block He Zhen and hundreds of others in Muling Pass.
