It's not that the city wall resists bombardment, but the technology under the head of the old steamed bun is not high, and the contemporaneous artillery is not powerful enough to bombard the city wall.

The Ming army outside the city shelled several times, but it completely crushed the confidence of the resistance in the city, they were willing to open the city gate and surrender, but asked the Ming army outside the city to make way and let the soldiers and civilians who were unwilling to surrender leave.

In other words, Li Rufeng might let them leave, but this time to attack Anlu County, Ling Jingyang specially asked the generals of all departments to do their best to keep the population of Anlu County and prevent the population from flowing into other areas.

Li Rufeng firmly carried out Ling Jingyang's military order, refused to allow the soldiers and civilians of Anlu County to leave, and issued an ultimatum that if the city gate was not opened tomorrow, the officers and troops would break Anlu City.

That night, a fire broke out in the city, and after dawn the next day, the city gate was opened from the inside, and more than 20 squires and landlords who resolutely resisted were tied up and sent to the Ming army barracks, and Li Rufeng ordered them to be sent to Yingshan County.

Then led the army into Anlu County, the soldiers and civilians in the city would kneel on both sides of the road, Li Rufeng and the landlord squire who came to surrender waved their horsewhips, signaling everyone to get up.

When the soldiers and civilians in the city rose up, Li Rufeng ordered the militia in the city to go out of the city, let the land department disband the militia arm, and let Zhang Shunbu garrison Anlu County, and the Iron Fist Army went to Anlu County to pass it on.

After the entire Anlu County was controlled, Li Rufeng reported the good news to Ling Jingyang, who ordered Wang Mu to lead the officials of the Governor's Office into Anlu County to completely control the population, land and administration of Anlu County.

Wang Mu and other officials came to Anlu County and registered in Anlu County, which has a population of 40,000 people, 10,000 acres of land, and more than 700 infantry and archers from all over the country.

Later, Ling Jingyang also came to Anlu County with the Governor's Mansion, and he didn't understand that Anlu County was so big, why was there only such a small militia group?

He summoned his generals and ordered the various departments to expand their troops in Anlu County, with a strength of 4,000 men and horses, and each of them had five days to reorganize their troops in Anlu County.

The various ministries recruited troops in Anlu County, and all the militia groups in Anlu County became official soldiers, and the landlords and squires who were sent to Yingshan County by Li Rufeng, Ling Jingyang wanted to let them go, but he thought that these people would definitely not be convinced, so he let them go

, which will only increase the enemy.

He confiscated all the property of this group of people, and then distributed them to the landlords and squires of Yingshan County, and then incorporated these people into the household registration of Suizhou and took root in Suizhou.

Ling Jingyang exerted his fists in De'an Mansion, and did not ignore the war in Huangzhou Mansion and Jiangbei, Dolgon's million-strong army was still gathering, and it also took time to prepare for the grain and grass and other baggage, but the Qing army's forward began to harass Shanxi and Henan, which indicated that the Qing army was about to attack on a large scale.

Ling Jingyang had no spare strength to support Jiangbei, and only owned half of De'an Mansion in Huguang, and He Zhen's Department was even more difficult in Huangzhou Mansion, where there were 10,000 regular troops of the Hongguang Imperial Court and tens of thousands of rebels who came from Jiangxi to reinforce them.

Jiang Tianyi led reinforcements to reinforce Hanyang, and after Hanyang, he learned that Anlu County was captured by the soldiers and horses of the Chongzhen Imperial Court, Jiang Tianyi is also a person who understands the great right and wrong, he did not blindly order the attack on the Ming army in Anlu County, but asked people to send a letter to Ling Jingyang.

In the letter, he reasoned with Ling Jingyang, and at present, Jiannu has entered the customs, and the Ming people should unite, instead of attacking each other, so that Jiannu can enjoy the benefits of fishermen.

Ling Jingyang saw Jiang Tianyi's letter, and sighed that there were also scholars in Jiangnan, and he also had a patriotic heart, and he ordered all troops and horses to avoid fighting with the Hongguang army.

He wrote back to Jiang Tianyi, to the effect that Emperor Chongzhen was orthodox, and he was ordered to go south to Huguang to form a righteous division, and go north to reinforce His Majesty Chongzhen, and the soldiers and horses in Huguang must be unified under his command.

As soon as Jiang Tianyi received a letter from Ling Jingyang, he didn't know what to do for a while, Ling Jingyang ordered the Hongguang army to withdraw from De'an Mansion from now on, Huangzhou Mansion and two places, the military and civilians in the two places, and the land belonged to the Chongzhen Imperial Court.

Jiang Tianyi naturally would not retreat, and Jin Sheng and Huang Degong in Nanzhili also mobilized troops and horses to reinforce De'an Mansion, preparing to eat Ling Jingyang's army.

To see that a civil war was about to break out, Ling Jingyang stopped the offensive momentum in time, he ordered He Zhen to withdraw from Huangzhou Mansion, and then collect taxes in Suizhou, Yingshan, and Anlu, and the formed troops also pulled down Jiuli Pass and Muling Pass for drills.

Ling Jingyang decided to rely on Jiuli Pass, Muling Pass and other mountain passes to establish a fortress group, where troops and grain were stationed to resist the invasion of the Qing army.

This decision made many generals quite dissatisfied, among whom He Zhen felt that Ling Jingyang should not withdraw from Huangzhou Mansion, Huangzhou Mansion has so many people and land, if Huangzhou Mansion is defeated, the strength of the entire team will be several times stronger.

Not only He Zhen, but also Wang Mu and local officials in De'an Mansion also believe that Ling Jingyang should no longer withdraw with the advantage of forces, but at least take down the entire De'an Mansion before leaving.

Ling Jingyang saw that so many people were dissatisfied, so he had to patiently do work with them, on the grounds that the Qing army went south to Henan, and the Great Western Army could not resist it.

The most important thing is that the Qing army will not waste its troops in Shanguan again, they will take advantage of the victory to pursue, stride forward into Huguang to attack the city.

At that time, the Shanguan fortress group he built was the mainstay of the resistance to the Qing army, and it was also the last stronghold of the Ming army in the north of Huguang, and the whole army could wait for the opportunity to launch an attack in the fortress group, and it could also support the Qing army when it was attacked by the Qing army in other parts of Huguang, rather than being tough in the front of the Qing army, not only could not be defeated, but also easy to be uprooted by the Qing army.

Everyone was convinced by what Ling Jingyang said, no one had the confidence to resist the attack of a million Qing troops, and Li Rufeng even said that he didn't want a million Qing troops, even if it was 10,000 elite Eight Banner soldiers, the Ming army would be difficult to resist.

Everyone no longer objected to Ling Jingyang, many local officials in De'an Prefecture dragged their children and daughters to Muling Pass, Jiuli Pass and other places, Ling Jingyang garrisoned 1,000 troops in Anlu County, Suizhou, and Yingshan County, and encountered attacks by other forces, and the soldiers and civilians in the three places quickly retreated to the fortress group, and grain and grass materials from all over the country were also sent to the fortress group overnight.

The soldiers and horses of the Chongzhen court suddenly took a defensive position, so that Huang Degong, Jin Sheng and others, who were ready to go, stared at each other, and Huang Degong was even more a joke to listen to Jingyang all the way from Shanxi to Huguang, could it be that he just wanted to eat rice?

Huang Degong didn't believe that Ling Jingyang would be so kind, he ordered Jiang Tianyi to lead his troops to attack Anlu County and expel the soldiers and horses of Chongzhen Imperial Court in Anlu County, but Jiang Tianyi got Jin Sheng's secret order not to attack the Ming army in Anlu County, let alone attack the Ming army in the north-central part of De'an Mansion.

Jiang Tianyi was a proud protégé of Jin Sheng, and he disobeyed Huang Degong's military orders, no matter how Huang Degong gave the order, Jiang Tianyi's tens of thousands of righteous troops stagnated in Hanyang.
