The Manchu army's scouts were sent south in large numbers overnight to detect further movements of the Ming army. Lu Xiangsheng, who was in the encirclement, knew nothing about this.

The night raid, although it killed and injured a lot of Tartars again, also caused his men to lose a lot of troops.

Next to the fire, Lu Xiangsheng's body was already dyed red with blood, but he didn't care about it, frowning, and drawing the defense map of the Manchu army on the ground.

And beside him, Hu Dawei, who was also wearing dark red armor, looked at Lu Xiangsheng, hesitated for a moment, and then persuaded in a low voice: "My lord, you better take advantage of the night to break through, otherwise, it will be difficult to break through until dawn!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng didn't answer, and another chief soldier, Yang Guozhu, also echoed: "Yes, my lord, now we still have the strength to fight, and it shouldn't be difficult for the two of us to cover and take the opportunity to break through." After dawn, there were more and more Manchu troops, and the hope of breaking through was slim! ”

Both of them were worried about Lu Xiangsheng and wanted Lu Xiangsheng to break out as soon as possible.

Lu Xiangsheng ignored the two of them, threw away the branch in his hand, and sighed: "From the raid just now, it can be seen that the Manchu army is mainly defensive, no matter how we tempt the enemy, they are all fighting steadily, and it seems impossible to take advantage of the night to cause chaos!" ”

At this time, he finally admitted in his heart that the elite level of the Manchu army was indeed higher than that of the Ming army. Those Tartar generals are also used to fighting, and they are not reckless.

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng didn't answer, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei glanced at each other, and Yang Guozhu opened his mouth to persuade again: "My lord, in the battle just now, the pressure on the two of us was not great, and those Tartars were desperate to besiege and kill adults. It can be seen from this, my lord, that you are the target of those Tartars, and they all know that you are the pillar of my Ming Dynasty! ”

As a battle-hardened general, he can naturally feel what the enemy's main attack direction is. Therefore, as soon as he withdrew from the battlefield and thought about it a little, he could understand the operational focus of the Manchu army.

"Yes, my lord, I am a Mongolian, and among the officials of the Ming Dynasty, I will obey you, my lord!" Hu Dawei also said, "Only you, treat us martial artists as real people!" My lord, Da Ming can live without us, but he can't do without you! ”

This time, after Lu Xiangsheng looked up at the sky, he looked down at the two of them, with a wry smile on his face, shook his head and said: "The Ming Dynasty no longer needs this official, even if this official breaks through, instead of dying in humiliation, it is better to be loyal to the country and die in battle!" ”

Hearing this, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu looked at each other, and after thinking about it for a while, they understood why Lu Xiangsheng said that. The two of them couldn't help but be very indignant.

"The faint monarch and traitor raised by the son of a bitch......" Hu Dawei's foul mouth suddenly burst out, obviously out of anger, "The adults are so desperate, but they can't wait for the adults to die......"

However, before he finished scolding, Lu Xiangsheng had a serious face and interrupted him sharply: "Shut up! Can you insult a prince? If your words are heard by the speaker, a few lives will not be enough to cut off! ”

Speaking of this, seeing that Hu Dawei was still indignant, his tone softened a little, and said to Hu Dawei: "The emperor has the emperor's difficulties, the country is full of thieves, and the Manchu army has entered the customs again and again to loot. State affairs have long been overwhelmed! If my Ming army is an elite army and can win in battle, then the emperor will never listen to Yang Gebu. However, the reason why our Ming army could not win the battle was not unexpected, military salaries, grain and grass, etc., alas, ......"

As soon as I talk about it, there are problems everywhere, and I can't talk about it anymore.

I remember that when I first arrived at Xuanda as the governor, I saw that the soldiers of the Ming border army were not hungry, and even to the point of selling their sons and daughters. In such a situation, why do the soldiers of the border army ask them to kill the enemy and serve the country? Now this unbearable situation is like a mess, and there is no way to solve it, so Lu Xiangsheng can't help but sigh deeply, and he can't continue.

Seeing this, Yang Guozhu had a different opinion and said: "When the Lord was the governor of Xuanda, the last general felt that he had done a good job. But as soon as the adults were worried, they all returned to the original state, and in the end, the situation was still like this, which was nothing more than moving the interests of some people and could not continue. In the end, if the emperor insists on reusing adults, my Ming will definitely be saved! But now, the imperial court let Gao Qiqian, the dead eunuch, take care of the adult everywhere, knowing that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had 100,000 soldiers and horses, but let the adult only command such a small number of troops to fight hard with the Manchu army. Even if an adult has three heads and six arms, it's not enough! ”

"Yes, we won the battle, and the court will not see it." When Hu Dawei heard this, he said indignantly, "The Manchu army has conquered the city, and the responsibility will be borne by the adults alone!" What is this, also, we are bleeding and fighting in front, and they still cut us off food, what a fucking son of a bitch, is it dark or fake? Such a court is really enough! ”

He knew that Lu Xiangsheng would not let him say that the emperor was bad, so he replaced him with the imperial court. For the Ming Emperor, who has experienced so many things and worked hard, he is a Mongol, so he does not have so much respect.

The complaints of the two general soldiers to the court and the disappointment of the emperor, Lu Xiangsheng could feel it. He listened to what they were saying, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. However, when he heard Yang Guozhu say that he had moved the interests of some people, and then all his worries were restored to their original state, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and his brows furrowed.

But then, Lu Xiangsheng remembered his current situation, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, even if there was a problem? I have decided to die here in battle, and I will shed my last drop of blood for the country.

Thinking like this, he put a doubt that he had just thought of behind him, regained his spirits, and said in a higher voice: "Don't say it anymore, state affairs are already like this, is it useful to complain?" As Ming officials, we should fulfill our duties and do what we should do. ”

With that, he reached out and patted the shoulders of his two right-hand men, glaring at the two of them. These two subordinates are both Great Ming Tiger Generals, and it would be a pity for them to accompany them to die here.

Thinking so, Lu Xiangsheng sighed and said solemnly: "The target of the Manchu Tartars is not the two of you, this official estimates that after dawn, the Manchu army will definitely launch a general attack on our army. When the time comes, the official will attract them, and the two of you will see that there is nothing to do, so you will break out of the siege, stay for the useful, serve the country, and give hope to the people of this suffering world! ”

As soon as they heard this, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu were immediately excited, and hurriedly said: "My lord, how can there be a cover for the main general, and we will wait for the reason to break through." To break through, it's also an adult to break through, we cover! ”

"Yes, my lord, we are desperate, and we will break it for adults!"

Lu Xiangsheng heard this and shook his head resolutely. In fact, he has already said that the target of the Tartar is him, and even if he breaks through, then Yang Sichang will definitely not let him go, and if he loses the battle, he can just use this to get rid of his stumbling block. Rather than die like that, it's better to die here.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but say in his heart: "The minister was blessed by the emperor, and he began to rise from the Wupin prefect, gave Shang Fang the sword, and the governor of the world, and now the minister has tried his best, wearing filial piety, and serving the country with death!" In the future, I hope that the emperor will experience more world affairs and more tempering, and after more tempering, the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous, and the people of the Ming Dynasty will be a bright and prosperous people, and there will be no more wars and chaos! ”

Although he was as disappointed as his two subordinates, he adhered to his duty as a minister and had no regrets.

It was almost dawn, and there was not much time left. Lu Xiangsheng was also resolute, and he made up his mind in his heart, so he waited to make the final arrangements.

But at this moment, a soldier came in a hurry and said to him, "My lord, there is movement on the Tartar side!" ”
