Chapter 479: The Battle of Jiangbei (10)

At dawn the next day, Ling Jingyang asked the soldiers to slap the captured Qing soldiers on the city wall, and let the old steamed bun scold the Qing army on the city wall.

Afraid that the Eight Banners would not understand, Ling Jingyang asked the wild maidens of the guards to scold in Manchu, the Green Battalion soldiers were scolded angrily, and the Eight Banners soldiers were scolded even more desperately.

Ao Bai lost more than 2,000 elite soldiers last night, he forced himself not to be rash, ordered to continue the siege of the city, let the generals get in touch with Wu Sangui who was attacking Dasheng Pass, and told Wu Sangui that there was no need for the two armies to disperse their forces, and they should concentrate their forces to break through Jiuli Pass.

Jiuli Pass was breached, and the other levels were not breached, and the generals rode on their horses and ran towards the Great Victory Pass.

Wu Sangui was also storming the Dasheng Pass at this time, after surrendering to the Qing army, Wu Sangui was hung by the Manchu Qing high-level, always holding his breath, in order to make achievements, he led his troops to storm the Dasheng Pass.

Dasheng Pass was in danger under the attack of the Qing army, Li Rufeng was not like Ling Jingyang, there were many civil and military generals in Jiuli Pass, only Gao Ding and Chen Yidao were around him, and the three of them led their troops to support in Dasheng Pass.

Under the onslaught of the Qing army, the Ming army surrendered out of the city, and the surrendered Ming army, as long as they were stopped when they went out of the city, they were all beheaded by Li Rufeng to show the public, but the Qing army still had the advantage and continued to fight, and Li Rufeng did not have the confidence to hold the victory pass.

After today's siege, Wu Sangui got a military order from Ao Bai to invite him to Jiuli Pass, and he gathered his subordinates, whether to continue to attack Dasheng Pass or attack Jiuli Pass?

The generals thought that the breakthrough of the big victory was just around the corner, and went to reinforce Aobai at this time, didn't it give the Ming army a breather?

Wu Sangui didn't think so, he was a Ming man, Ao Bai was a Zheng'er Bajing Manchu, and his status was higher than him, he wanted to give a good impression to the Manchurians, and decided to bring troops to reinforce Jiuli Pass, leaving Li Chengdong with 4,000 soldiers and horses, so that he could continue to besiege Dasheng Pass.

The siege of the Qing army under the leadership of Wu Sangui wanted to advance at Jiuli Pass, Wu Sangui's move was too contemptuous of the Ming army, and he did not take Jin Sheng and Huang Degong in his eyes at all.

Especially Jin Sheng, he is the imperial history of the Chongzhen Imperial Court, the supervising army, when the Qing army went south, he recruited the righteous army in Nanzhili, and fought with the Qing army's real swords and guns.

A month ago, Jiang Tianyi was beaten by Li Chengdong to hide in Hanyang City and did not dare to go out of the city, although he led the reinforcements to arrive, but Ling Jingyang Department blocked Li Chengdong's retreat in Yingshan County, and finally defeated Li Chengdong's Department with Ling Jingyang's Department.

At this time, Ling Jingyang was besieged by the Qing army, and Jin Sheng put aside the grievances between the Hongguang court and the Chongzhen court, and resolutely led the army to reinforce Dashengguan.

His move was despised by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Hongguang Imperial Court, thinking that he was eating inside and out, but Emperor Hongguang and Huang Degong supported him very much, even if it was Ma Shiying, they also put aside their prejudices and supported Jin Sheng to support Ling Jingyang, but they demanded that Jin Sheng was after the battle, and Hongguang soldiers and horses must occupy part of the fortress.

With the support of Emperor Hongguang, Ma Shiying, and Huang Degong, Jin Sheng led 40,000 Ming troops north to win the pass.

At this time, Wu Sangui led the army to Jiuli Pass, Li Chengdong only had 4,000 soldiers and horses, and the Jin Sheng army arrived in Yingshan County.

Wu Sangui is still half a day away from Jiuli Pass, and suddenly received a letter from Li Chengdong asking for help, Wu Sangui regretted it very much, he should not be in a hurry to show goodwill to Aobai, he should continue to attack Dasheng Pass and defeat under Dasheng Pass

The Ming army that came to reinforce was much more meritorious than He Aobai in breaking through Jiuli Pass.

At this time, Li Chengdong was back to help, the soldiers and horses were tired, Wu Sangui was a little stunned for a while, and finally let the generals rush to Jiuli Pass, and Ao Bai reported that there were reinforcements from the Ming army in Dashengguan, and he led his troops to withdraw to Dashengguan.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Although the troops had traveled a long way, the Guan Ning army was Wu Sangui's descendant army after all, and they were still willing to withdraw to Dasheng Pass under the leadership of Wu Sangui.

Without waiting for him to withdraw to the Great Victory Pass, Li Rufeng and Jin Sheng joined forces to attack Li Chengdong, Li Chengdong did not have many soldiers and horses, and was defeated under the attack of the Ming army.

Li Chengdong also did not care about the military order, with his own soldiers to retreat to Jiuliguan, after the Ming army defeated the Qing army, did not rush to pursue, Li Rufeng generously gave the victory pass to Jin Sheng, he led the troops in the city to rush to Jiuliguan.

Jin Sheng ordered Jiang Tianyi to garrison Muling Pass, but Jiang Tianyi said that he was willing to let his mentor garrison Dasheng Pass, and he led his troops to support Ling Jingyang in Jiuli Pass.

Jin Sheng said to Jiang Tianyi emotionally: "Tianyi, the teacher didn't misunderstand you, go and support Ling Jingyang, who fought with Jiannu all the way, and let Jiannu also know that I am a good man who throws his head and spills his blood." ”

Jiang Tianyi led 30,000 soldiers and horses to Li Rufeng, Li Rufeng also saw that there were troops coming from the rear, and he also understood the significance of strategic space.

He thought that the Hongguang army wanted to occupy more fortresses, and wanted to stay and defeat the Hongguang army several times, but finally gave up and led the troops to continue to advance towards Jiuli Pass.

Collided with Wu Sangui's army on the way, the two armies immediately opened their formation, and fought in the open field, Li Rufeng did not have many soldiers and horses, even if there was Chen Yidao's department, after several defensive battles, the number was only more than 4,000 people, in the face of Wu Sangui's more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, Li Rufeng looked up to the sky and sighed, determined to fight to the end.

Wu Sangui is also inexplicable, wasn't Li Chengdong besieged, why did he encounter the Ming army again on the way he withdrew to Dasheng Pass?

But since they met, it was bloody and bloody, the two armies dragged their tired bodies to fight, the Ming army was few, but each had the determination to die, the Qing army was numerous, and the fighting spirit was not very sufficient, but it was better than the crowd, and the military quality was high.

The two armies clashed, the Ming army gradually lost the enemy, Li Rufeng rode on the horse to kill left and right, killing the Qing army did not dare to approach, but he was personally brave and could not save the whole army, seeing that his subordinates were fighting less and less, Li Rufeng hated it in his heart.

He died here today, and he can't continue to fight on the battlefield in the future after following Ling Jingyang.

A large group of Qing troops came at him, and this time he no longer had the strength to continue to charge.

He seemed to see his old comrade-in-arms Wang Hong beckoning to him, maybe it was time to reunite with the brothers in Guyuan Town underground?

At this moment, Jiang Tianyi led his troops to kill from the side of the battlefield, tens of thousands of Ming troops with weapons to kill the exhausted Qing army, Wu Sangui was taken aback by this group of Ming troops who did not know where to appear, Jiang Tianyi's combat effectiveness was weak, but after all, they were rested, and Wu Sangui's troops were so tired that they could barely lift their weapons.

Under the impact of tens of thousands of Ming troops, the Qing army was scattered, Wu Sangui led the troops to retreat to Jiuli Pass, the Qing army soon withdrew, and the Ming army did not have many cavalry, and it was not able to expand the results.

Li Rufeng is in Jiangtian

As soon as he launched the attack, he immediately gathered the remnants, and he sadly found that there were only more than 1,000 people left, just these more than 1,000 people, most of them were still fighting with wounds, even if they went to Jiuli Pass, it didn't have much effect.

When Jiang Tianyi knocked Wu Sangui away and came to him, he looked at Jiang Tianyi with some guilt and said, "Li Rufeng, thank you for saving your life." ”

Jiang Tianyi was very envious of Li Rufeng, who was such a big man, or a general of the Ming army who fought a bloody battle with the Qing army, and said to Li Rufeng very politely: "This general, my Jiang Tianyi, Jin Shilang's protégé, I am sending reinforcements to you, and I also ask the general to lead me tens of thousands of athletes to rush to the aid of the governor." ”

Li Rufeng bowed deeply with him, and then said to him: "The Governor of Lingdu is in Jiuliguan, and there are also Jiannu there, and I am also invited to go to reinforce the Governor." ”

"Okay, sons, reinforcements to the Governor of Lingdu."

Aid to the Governor

The sound of tens of thousands of people resounded through the valley, and Li Rufeng led Jiang Tianyi and tens of thousands of other Ming soldiers and horses to rush towards Jiuli Pass.

Wu Sangui withdrew to Jiuliguan one step ahead of the Ming army, and Ao Bai was a little unhappy when he saw that Wu Sangui only brought thousands of people, but then thousands of Wu Sangui's subordinates came, and Ao Bai's face looked better.

Wu Sangui didn't dare to tell him that he was defeated by the Ming army, but only told him that there were reinforcements from the Ming army in the big victory pass, and he led the army to Jiuli Pass, and the remaining Li Chengdong was defeated by the Ming army.

Ao Bai didn't know whether Wu Sangui was true or not, but Wu Sangui was able to come to Jiuliguan, which proved that Wu Sangui's attitude was still towards the Qing Dynasty and towards him.

In the reinforcement of Jiuliguan by the Ming army, Aobai did not continue to storm Jiuliguan, but decided to encircle the point to send reinforcements, eliminate the Ming army reinforcements, and then continue to besiege Jiuliguan.

Ao Bai let Wu Sangui garrison in Jiuli Pass, to prevent the Ming army in the pass from going out of the city for reinforcements, he led the main force to eliminate the Ming army reinforcements, Wu Sangui did not want to continue to fight with the Ming army, the troops urgently needed to be recuperated, Ao Bai let him garrison outside the pass, he couldn't ask for it, and saw Ao Bai lead the main force to the south to set off, and leisurely watched the city rest.

The Ming army in the city also found out that the Qing army was coming to reinforce the army, and saw Ao Bai leading his troops to kill to the south, and immediately realized that they also had reinforcements.

The Qing army seemed to be attacking reinforcements this time, and Ling Jingyang held an emergency meeting and decided to lead the troops out of the city to receive reinforcements.

There are still more than 6,000 soldiers of the Ming army in Jiuliguan, and these soldiers of the Ming army have endured these days of defensive operations, new soldiers have become veterans, veterans have become elites, elites have become fierce soldiers, and the strength of the whole army has been sublimated.

Wu Sangui's department outside the city has gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and there are obviously more stragglers who are coming here bravely, listening to Jingyang and the generals to unify their thoughts, defeat the Qing army outside the city, and then the whole army goes south to reinforce the Ming army that came to reinforce.

Wu Sangui thought that the Ming army in Jiuliguan was just surviving, but he didn't know that Ling Jingyang led the soldiers of the whole city to suddenly kill, and the artillery battalion also hoisted cannons on the city wall and launched an artillery bombardment towards the Qing army camp.

The shells fell on the open space in front of the Qing army's barracks, which did not cause damage to the Qing army, but also scared Wu Sangui enough to quickly order troops to resist the Ming army's attack.

The Ming army attacked very quickly, the Qing army just assembled the team, and rushed up to meet the Qing army, Wu Sangui more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, did not get a long rest at all, even in Jiuli Pass, most of the Wu soldiers, that is, lying in the barracks for half an hour, their muscles have not been relaxed, and they are forced to stand up to fight.
