When Lu Xiangsheng saw it, his face suddenly turned unusually heavy.

He didn't expect that the Manchu Tartars would act overnight, and under the superior forces, the reinforcements would be so fast.

It seems that God really doesn't give himself hope! Thinking so, Lu Xiangsheng punched his left palm, very unwilling. Obviously, the plan to beat the time difference was a failure!

"My lord, what shall we do?" Hu Dawei's face was also grim, accompanied by Lu Xiangsheng, looking at the firelight in the distance, and asked in a somewhat heavy voice.

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng turned his head to look at him, frowned, turned around and ordered his personal guards: "Quickly send Yang Guozhu's general soldiers to come over to discuss matters!" ”

And in the distance, it was the Dolgon Department that rushed to the Artemisia Bridge overnight. When Yue Tuo heard this, he was also very surprised.

He was a little curious, the messenger he sent during the day had already explained that Lu Xiangsheng's department only had 5,000 soldiers and horses, since he had been stuck with more than 10,000 of his own men and horses, why did Dolgon rush back in such a hurry? You know, Dolgon's headquarters is not the closest to Artemisia Bridge, if he can get there, the nearest road must have arrived a long time ago, it stands to reason that Dolgon has no need to march overnight!

With doubts, he rushed over to see the commander of this time, Dolgon, who was named "the general under orders" by Huang Taiji.

In the Chinese military tent, as soon as Yue Tuo entered, he directly asked his doubts: "Uncle, why are you in such a hurry to come back?" Now our army has 20,000 horses, and it is more than enough to deal with Lu Xiangsheng's department! ”

Although he was older than Dolgon, he was Dolgon's nephew. At this time, Dorgon had also been named Prince of Heshurui, so he called Dorgon "Uncle King".

Dolgon looked a little old, and after listening to Yue Tuo's question, he just smiled faintly, and handed out a sign that his personal guard handed to Yue Tuo.

"Huh!" Yue Tuo took a look, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and after looking at it over and over again, he looked up at Dolgon, and at the same time raised the sign in his hand and asked, "Is this the gold medal of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom?" ”

Dolgon listened, smiled and nodded: "It is the gold medal of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, which was intercepted by the Tanma under the king. This is the reason why this king rushed back overnight! ”

"What's the latest on?" As soon as Yue Tuo heard this, he knew that there was a new situation, and hurriedly asked.

When Dolgon heard this, a little regret appeared on his face and said: "The chamberlain who came out of the palace was shot by the Tanma, and only a few escorted brocade guards were captured. They confessed that it should be that the emperor of the Ming State has re-promoted Lu Xiang to the rank of secretary of the military department, and is back in charge of all the soldiers and horses of the Ming State to deal with us. The meaning of the gold medal seems to be to cooperate with Lu Xiangsheng with the eunuch Gao Qiqian, and he must not take advantage of Lu Xiangsheng! ”

"Huh, how can this be?" When Yue Tuo heard this, he asked very puzzledly, "Didn't there be news before that there would be no problem on the side of the Ming Imperial Court, thinking of negotiating peace with our Qing Dynasty, so Lu Xiangsheng, who was resolutely fighting the main battle, would borrow our sword to kill him?" ”

The trap of dividing the troops into ten ways is based on this situation, wanting to lure Lu Xiangsheng out and kill him.

Hearing this, Dolgon frowned slightly, brushed the little mustache he had deliberately left with his hand and said: "The gold medal will not be fake, and the previous sources are also reliable, it should be that something happened to the Ming Imperial Court?" ”

Speaking of this, his tone became a little heavier and said: "This doesn't matter, the top priority is not to let Lu Xiangsheng regain control of the military, and if all the Ming troops are under his command, although we are not afraid, it will be inconvenient after all!" ”

Yue Tuo is also a smart man, and when he heard this, he understood, and then said to Dolgon: "This means that we must destroy Lu Xiangsheng's department as soon as possible. And this is also the reason why the uncle rushed back overnight? ”

"Yes!" Dolgon nodded when he heard this, and said solemnly, "Although we have an army of 100,000, after all, we are in the pass, so it is better to be cautious. Judging from the news we have gotten, this Lu Xiangsheng is very capable of fighting, but he is an outlier in the Ming Kingdom. This can also be confirmed a little from the confrontation these days. Therefore, he cannot be given any chance. Now that we can defeat this toothless tiger, we must defeat it as soon as possible! Otherwise, if he breaks out, there will be trouble in the future!"

Yue Tuo listened, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "That's right, this Lu Xiangsheng is indeed an outlier in the Ming Kingdom, in a battle during the day today, although the Ming army has run out of food, there are only 5,000 men and horses, but against my tens of thousands of troops, it is still very brave." The blood and courage of this Ming army may not be inferior to the two Ming armies in the Battle of Hunhe that year! ”

In the Qing Dynasty, the most difficult battle was not the battle of Sarhu, but the bloody battle of the Hunhe River. All those who participated in that battle, including Yueto himself and Dorgon, were very impressed.

Hearing Yue Tuo's words about Lu Xiangsheng's department so strongly, Dolgon's heart became more resolute, and he said to Yue Tuo seriously: "This king estimates that Gao Qiqian has received an order, and if there is a gold medal urging, he will definitely rescue Lu Xiangsheng's department tomorrow." Therefore, in order to prevent accidents, it is necessary to destroy Lu Xiangsheng's department as soon as possible. No matter what else, at least Lu Xiangsheng's head must be obtained, and he must not break through and escape! ”

When Yue Tuo heard this, he was about to say something, when he suddenly saw a Dolgon's personal guard hurriedly enter the account, and he shook his sleeves and said: "Master, the besieged Ming army took advantage of the cover of night to raid our army and still camp the army!" ”

Upon hearing this, Dorgon stood up and glanced at Yue Tuo, both of whom saw the other's astonishment. So, without saying a word, I immediately went out to check the account.

I saw that in the far corner, it was already a fire, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, and under the dark night, it seemed that there were thousands of troops and horses fighting.

At this time, another Tartar general arrived, and hurriedly reported to Dolgon about the war: "Master, Lu Xiangsheng's department tied about 200 war horses with firewood, blindfolded the horse's eyes and attacked our army. But now that the left and right battalions have been reinforced, the battle situation has stabilized! ”

"It's really a tiger in the Ming Kingdom!" When Dolgon heard this, he couldn't help but praise it, and then, he looked at the situation in the distance for a while, and then turned back and ordered, "Spread the order of the king's army, fight steadily and steadily, and not give the Ming army any opportunity to take advantage of." Under the superior strength of our army, as long as we wait until dawn, this Ming army will not have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and it will be easily eaten by my Qing Dynasty! In addition, whoever gets Lu Xiang to be promoted to the first level will be rewarded!"

"Wow!" The Tartar generals listened and took the order.

After Dolgon issued the order, he turned his head to look at Yue Tuo and said, "The other armies, when the king came, also gave them military orders, so that they must rush back overnight. Even if it is a knife to kill a chicken, it is worth it to be able to kill Lu Xiangsheng, who is a great threat to my Qing Dynasty in the Ming Kingdom! ”

"Uncle Wang Yingming!" Yue Tuo listened, and flattered him heartily, and then looked at the shouting and killing sound that had faintly decreased in the distance, and thought in his heart: It is estimated that Lu Xiangsheng, unless he surrenders, I am afraid that he can only see the rising sun tomorrow! More likely, under the heavy reward, it is very likely that Lu Xiangsheng will not see the sun tomorrow!"
