October 20th of the tenth year of Xiaozhen, Jingshi, Yongding Gate

Wang Dou sent out several thousand soldiers and horses with the army and arrived outside the Yongding Gate yesterday, and the officers and men of the Beijing battalion defending the area from Yongding Gate to You'anmen were several generals of the Fourth Battalion of the Fifth Army, the Third Battalion of Shenshu, the Fourth Battalion of Shenshu, and the Fifth Battalion of Shenji. ”

At that time, Han Zhong and Xie Yike were furious, and they wanted to step forward and find out those bold and reckless mouthy people.

Wang Dou severely stopped them and said, "We are here to protect the Jingshi and protect the common people. I didn't come here to fight with them. If you have this mind and a few people, you might as well spare some strength to fight Lezi. Moreover, many officers and soldiers do not speak like words, so it is no wonder that the common people complain. ”

The Qing soldiers continued to harass the eastern suburbs, and after many officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp broke up and fled, they formed groups of three or five, and fled when they encountered the Qing soldiers' sentinels, but when they encountered the fleeing people, they were like wolves and tigers, looting property, raping and humiliating women, and their methods were no better than those of the Qing soldiers.

Wang Dou first arrived at the boundary of Yizhuang. When he encountered more than a dozen routs plundering the people, Wang Dou was furious, captured these dozen routs, ignored their cries and threats, and beheaded them all. In this place of Yizhuang, on the left is a rather large river canal, which flows into the capital, and on the other side of the canal, it is the place where the guerrilla general Li Jianming of Xuanfu Town is stationed. A small hill not far from the right side of the canal, there is a fire road pier on it, the local people call it Yan Dun, the pier platform is about eight meters high, the surrounding pier wall is dozens of zhang, at this time several guards of the pier army have long been missing.

Dozens of feet away from the canal. Immediately to the left of the pier, there is a winding official road.

The official road is more than one jujube wide, it is covered with rut marks of the deep and long months, on the official road of about ten zhang in front of the pier, there is a small stone bridge, the river has long dried up, the two sides of the river are dense wheat fields, about to enter the cold winter, the wheat fields are crooked and drill out some seedlings sown in autumn. The wheat field stretched to the right side of the swallow pier until a few miles away, and there was a deep canal.

At the end of the small stone bridge, there is a stone tablet that is about to be toppled, the inscription has long been blurred, and only the inscription is faintly visible.

In the surrounding areas, this official road is easy to walk, and the rest is either fields or canals, perhaps infantry and cavalry can pass through the empty fields, but what vehicles to tow and lift the weight must take the official road. ”

Wen Fangliang said: "The village fort in the land of Gyeonggi is built thickly, and the village fort where we are stationed, if there is enough grain and grass and medicine, it will not hurt to guard it for a month." ”

Han Zhong said: "I'm afraid that the grain and grass are about to run out." ”

Following Wang Dou, he felt Han Zhong's hot breath spray on his neck, and Han Zhong's thick head poked out beside him, and his bull's eyes looked at Wang Dou expectantly: "General, you said, will the Gao Gong Guild pull out enough grain and grass for us?" ”

Wang Dou smiled bitterly, Tongzhou was occupied. With the cut off of grain, the supply of grain and grass in the capital is even more difficult. Not to mention the division of troops, it seems that Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng are on the same page, if the supply of grain and grass is sufficient, Lu Xiangsheng will not have to go far to be determined, and he will beg for food for thousands of miles.

Yesterday, the officers and soldiers of the three towns of Xuanda arrived outside the gate of Yongding, and although Gao Qiqian symbolically allocated a batch of grain and grass to Lu Xiangsheng, it was only a drop in the bucket, and the officers and men of the three towns of Xuanda could not eat for a few days.

Wang Dou said in a deep voice: "Count on Gonggong Gao to supply grain and grass. Or don't expect too much."

He shook his head and said the second half of his sentence with a sneer: "Fortunately, there is as much food and grass as possible on the wheel soldiers' side." ”

"Let's wait until Commander Wen Bai doesn't accept his brother back at night!"

October 21, 11th year of Chongzhen, morning.
