914 I am presbyopia
The Ottoman army outside Lahore couldn't do it without chaos.
Some people want to withdraw, but some people are determined not to withdraw. The main reason is that they can't figure out what the situation of the Ming army is?
The army that encircled and suppressed the Ming army before was suddenly hit by the Ming reinforcements, and those who escaped, some of them showed that the country had a lot of reinforcements, while some were uncertain.
Only one thing is certain, the Ming army did have reinforcements arriving, and their plan to encircle and suppress the Ming army behind them was impossible to realize, so they all retreated to Lahore.
However, after returning to the base camp, their differences were great.
The generals of the Ottoman Empire, some of them believed that if the Ming Kingdom came to reinforcements, it must be the failure of the Northern Route Army. Even the Northern Route Army was defeated, and the strength of the Ming Army can be imagined. If we don't withdraw sooner, the consequences will be unpredictable.
However, most of the Ottoman generals did not think so, and they did not want to think that the Northern Route Army was led by the Prime Minister himself, and the troops were much larger than those of Lahore, and they were the main force of the Ottoman army. How could the Ming army destroy the army commanded by the Prime Minister?
Even if you take a step back and say okay, if the Prime Minister is defeated, then at least there will be news back, right? No matter what, it is impossible to wipe out at least 150,000 or more troops, and not a single one of them will be able to escape!
It was based on this realization that Lahore became an Ottoman military camp, which was a mess, but in the end it was not immediately withdrawn.
There is another reason, that is, they have surrounded Lahore for so long, but in the end they have slipped away so disgracefully, and many people are unwilling.
About four days later, at noon, Wu Sangui, as in the previous days, took advantage of the best opportunity to observe the movement in the enemy camp outside the city.
Looking at it, all of a sudden, someone yelled in Wu Sangui's ear, and the sound was so loud that it almost startled him: "Handsome, quick, look, look......"
At this time, Wu Sangui, who was observing the enemy camp, heard the roar, put down the binoculars with a little dissatisfaction, turned his head to look at the guards around him and shouted: "Calm, calm, do you know?" How does Ben Shuai usually teach you? ”
What's all the fuss about, my ears were almost deafened by him just now!
He was thinking about it, when he saw the guard in front of him pointing to the outside of the city, still shouting in such a fuss: "Look, big marshal, the dust is flying, it seems to be reinforcements, reinforcements!" ”
At this time, Wu Sangui was very sensitive to the word reinforcements. When I heard this, I was slightly stunned, and almost at the same time, the other guards around me also shouted: "Reinforcements, reinforcements are coming......"
Wu Sangui couldn't care about anything else, and immediately turned his head to look.
Sure enough, in the northwest direction, it was dusty, and in the extreme distance, there was faint movement, and it looked like there was a red line.
Is it really reinforcements? Wu Sangui thought in his heart, immediately raised the binoculars and hurriedly looked in that direction.
With the help of this telescope, it is easier to see a little more clearly. I can vaguely see the red line, it really is a horseman, wearing red.
Needless to say, this is definitely the Ming Army, the Ming Cavalry!
Thinking of this, Wu Sangui's eyes widened, trying to see clearly, how many reinforcements were coming? Although he kept talking about Li Laiheng's department. But at this moment, deep in his heart, what he would like to see more is other reinforcements!
At this time, he had automatically blocked the noise of the soldiers around him, and his whole mind had already been put into confirming the number of reinforcements in the distance.
Closer, closer, closer......
The vague shadow gradually changed to the silhouette of a pawn, and then a little clearer.
However, it is so far away that it is very difficult to distinguish which reinforcements are. But this did not prevent Wu Sangui from running out of ideas and wanting to confirm it as quickly as possible.
Looking at it, Wu Sangui suddenly muttered excitedly: "Yes, yes, it's definitely not them, it must be the new reinforcements......"
"Dashuai, how is it? Where did the reinforcements come from? When his guards heard this, they immediately asked excitedly.
When the other soldiers heard this, they all unconsciously gathered around, wanting to hear which reinforcements were coming for the first time?
Hearing the words, Wu Sangui forgot what he had just said that his personal guards should be calm, put down the binoculars, and excitedly pointed to the distance and said loudly: "Look, do you see it?" The number, the number is definitely more than five thousand! It can be seen from this that it is definitely not Li Laiheng and them, and new reinforcements have arrived! ”
Speaking of this, he didn't wait for others to respond, but said to himself excitedly: "That's right, that's right, it's all right now." Look at them, why they came back in embarrassment before, and they still felt like a mess, it was because they suffered a defeat, so they were like this. Now it's all right! That's right, new reinforcements must have arrived! ”
Being besieged in a foreign country and holding on to a lonely city, I am really much more excited about the appearance of reinforcements than when I was at home.
At this time, no one laughed at Wu Sangui for not being calm himself, all of them pointed to the northwest direction, and spoke happily one by one.
"The marshal is right, it must be new reinforcements! So much, you can't see the tail! ”
"That's right, it must be Governor Hong who led the troops south, otherwise where would the reinforcements come from!"
"Really, I don't lie to you, my eyes are very bright, I see the banner of the Governor!"
"What are you, I have seen the Governor's beard, it must have been the Governor's arrival!"
“……”
As soon as they said this, Wu Sangui calmed down. Anyway, they said that when they saw Hong Chengchou, he didn't believe it, it was too far away. But what is certain is that the number of reinforcements that have come is huge.
At this time, he immediately went to see the movement on the side of the Ottoman military camp. Sure enough, it was even more messy.
In the distance, the horses of the Ottoman army were frantically beating their horses back, and the barracks were all gathered, but they were like headless flies, and they had not been assembled for a long time.
"Come on, blow the trumpet and drum for Ben Shuai, and strengthen my prestige!" Wu Sangui suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly to his guards.
When his guards heard this, they immediately responded excitedly: "Yes!" ”
Then he went to give the order, and in a short time, the sound of trumpets and the earth-shattering war drums sounded over the head of the city of Lahore. The movement was so great that it frightened the Ottoman army even more chaotic.
In the city of Lahore, the soldiers in other directions and in the city, they did not see the situation outside the city, but the movement at the head of the city was so great that it immediately spread to them.
When he heard that reinforcements were coming, he still led the army himself. Suddenly, thunderous cheers rang out in the city. If it weren't for the constraints of military discipline, it is estimated that they would all be able to flock to this side of the city to see what was going on.
As time passed, reinforcements from afar became clearer. When they got closer to the Ottoman barracks, they no longer marched in a marching formation, but spread out to the sides. In this way, the number of troops is more intuitive.
"This must be more than 10,000, and they are all cavalry, amazing!"
"I think there are 20,000, believe it or not, we bet that it's all cavalry!"
“……”
Wu Sangui did not participate in their discussion, but continued to use his binoculars to observe the reinforcements that were slowly approaching the enemy camp outside the city. Looking at it, he was suddenly dumbfounded.
I put down the binoculars, rubbed my eyes vigorously, and immediately raised the binoculars again to look.
Noticing that his action was a little strange, one of the guards asked happily, "Dashuai, what did you see, such an unbelievable look?" ”
"The marshal has seen the governor's white beard, and he is counting how many there are, of course you have to keep your eyes open!" Another guard also joked excitedly.
It was really a desperate situation, when I was going to despair, and suddenly it became a desperate situation, and the great joy also diluted a little difference in rank.
Wu Sangui didn't listen to this joke at all, but suddenly, he immediately put down the binoculars, then pointed to the distance with his finger, and shouted loudly in that tone of surprise: "The imperial flag, it's the imperial flag, the emperor is coming, the emperor is coming, the emperor is coming, ......"
When the guards around him heard this, they were all shocked, so that for a while, this place, which was still noisy just now, suddenly became silent!
The emperor is coming? Isn't the emperor in the country, why is he here?
When they came back to their senses, the guard closest to Wu Sangui hurriedly said to him: "Dashuai, can your subordinates take a look?" I'm sharp-eyed! ”
As soon as he said this, the other guards also came back to their senses, and suddenly, blowing their eyes one by one, they thought that they could borrow a telescope to see the situation for the first time.
"Dashuai, I'm also sharp-eyed, I'm sure I can see clearly!"
"Dashuai, I'm presbyopia, I look into the distance, I'm absolutely right to look first!"
“……”
Wu Sangui ignored the others, handed the telescope to the first person to speak, and pointed in the direction to ask him to confirm quickly.
"That's right, that's right, it's the emperor, it's the emperor!" The guard looked at it intently and shouted excitedly. After shouting, I have the feeling of crying.
The other guards couldn't take care of it, and hurriedly scrambled for the binoculars and looked over one by one.
It didn't take long for the soldiers at the head of the city to confirm that it was their emperor who personally led the army to the rescue.
Since the emperor came, these Ottoman troops were just a bunch of chickens and dogs! All soldiers have absolute confidence in this.
At this time, the city of Lahore was already clearly visible. The emperor personally led the army, not to mention all cavalry, at least forty or fifty thousand!
"Daming Wansheng!"
"Long live my emperor!"
“……”
In the city of Lahore, there was a sea of cheers.
While they were watching, the soldier holding the telescope suddenly handed the telescope to Wu Sangui, and reminded at the same time: "Dashuai, the emperor has a banner over there!" ”
"The emperor has a will! Hurry up and give Ben Shuai! Wu Sangui listened, and immediately said while taking back his binoculars and looking at them carefully.
