Lu Xiangsheng used this short time to immediately arrange the artillery everywhere, although the firepower was dispersed, but in this kind of wilderness, against the cavalry, if there was a weak link, the formation would soon be scattered. After being dispersed, it will be the end of ten miles of corpses.

Lu Xiangsheng re-examined military discipline and asked the gunners to shoot in three sections under unified command. The artillery is also quickly reloading gunpowder and projectiles, and the Frankie cannon is relatively fast, as long as the prepared sub-gun is loaded into the mother gun. The archers seized the time to rest and recover their strength, and released three arrows in a very short period of time, which was quite a big physical exertion for them who lacked food.

But the Qing army stopped attacking, but dispersed, stopped at a distance of more than three hundred paces, and some even dismounted and began to feed the war horses some beans.

But the Ming army did not dare to retreat, as long as their formation was out of order, the Qing army could rush over quickly, and they would have no defensive strength, so they could only be slaughtered at that time. Therefore, the Ming army could only stand still, and began to assemble objects such as horses, preparing to set up a camp here and wait for reinforcements.

"Brother Boxiang," Lu Xiangsheng called Yang Tinglin over and said, "You go to Jize for a run, the Gao Jian Army and the Guanning cavalry are there, as long as the Guanning cavalry arrives, we can eat this captive cavalry." Even if there are reinforcements coming from the captive cavalry, at least we can have the strength to fight back, and when the troops from Baoding and Zhending come over, the captives will not want to go back this way. ”

Yang Tinglin arched his hand and said: "Nine elders (Lu Xiangsheng Jiutai), now is the time when people are needed, how can students leave?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng opened his mouth and said: "Brother Boxiang here is the most suitable, send other people, and he may not be able to say that he will move the senior supervision army." ”

"However, the student was the emperor of the book, and he said that Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian were favored by power, so they were demoted from the Beijing Division. Students, however, are the most unsuitable people. Yang Tinglin explained with a wry smile. He also knows his own weight, Wen can't give advice, Wu can't go into battle to kill the enemy, it's just a waste of one person's food here. But the fact is that he offended Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang, and now he goes to move the rescue soldiers, it is likely that there will be no results.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the enemy soldiers who seemed to be grazing horses in the distance, and said helplessly: "Brother Boxiang, just make it difficult, after all, you are a civil official, and this bit of decency is still there." If you send other people, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see the face of the senior superintendent. Whether he can share the worries of the king, relieve the upside-down hanging for the Li people, and annihilate the Tartars, it depends on whether Brother Boxiang can invite reinforcements. ”

"Then, the students will go for a walk, and they will definitely bring the Guanning cavalry." Yang Tinglin listened to Lu Xiangsheng's words, and immediately felt a heavy responsibility, and immediately agreed. The so-called iron shoulder morality is nothing more than that.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately dispatched ten cavalry escorts, all of whom changed into war horses with good physical strength, and after a little preparation, he suddenly rushed out at full speed. Fortunately, there were not many Qing soldiers, and many of them dismounted, pretending to be leisurely, so Yang Tinglin and their breakthrough went very smoothly. Only a few Mongol soldiers tried to pursue, but they chased for a while and found that they couldn't catch up and then gave up, only a dozen people, they attacked the city along the way, and even the teacher of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the former Jiliao Governor Sun Chengzong was killed, is it necessary to care about other officials?

Lu Xiangsheng saw that Yang Tinglin and they had successfully broken through, and he was also relieved. Begin to use this time to get the soldiers to let the rejection horses out.

Of course, the Qing army will not do nothing, but it is just to shoot the Ming army with bows and arrows to place the rejecting horses, they are waiting for reinforcements, and their more than 100 people can't eat this Ming army that still has some military discipline. From an early age, they began to ride horses and shoot arrows, participate in hunts, and each was the best warrior. The foot bow in their hands is at least 100 catties of pull, and the range is much farther than the firecrackers and bows and arrows in the hands of the Ming army, so they can rest assured that they can stand in place and aim and shoot arrows. Of course, for the artillery of the Ming army, there will still be appropriate reverence.

After paying the price of more than 100 dead and wounded, Lu Xiangsheng finally built a simple camp after dark, and the soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they did not have to worry as much as they did in the wilderness.

Lu Xiangsheng inspected the camp after dinner, to prevent the enemy from coming to steal the camp, if there was a bombing of the camp, when the day came, they would be slaughtered except to surrender.

After arranging the defense of the camp, when Lu Xiangsheng returned to the military tent, he saw Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei looking outside.

"Supervisor~" Yang Guozhu just shouted, but was stopped by Lu Xiangsheng raising his hand.

Lu Xiangsheng kept saying with his steps: "Come in and talk about it." ”

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei had no choice but to follow Lu Xiangsheng into the camp tent, and as soon as Lu Xiangsheng sat down, Yang Guozhu immediately said: "Supervisor, tonight is the best opportunity to break through, if it is late, the reinforcements from the East will come." ”

Lu Xiangsheng didn't speak, he looked at Hu Dawei.

Hu Dawei had no choice but to speak: "What General Yang said is right, taking advantage of the enemy's reinforcements has not yet come, let's break through immediately, at least we can go back for two or three percent." Ask the Inspector to make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to use Shang Fang's sword, that would only make his generals deviate, which was not his style. He thought for a moment and said: "I also know the current situation, we look dangerous, but if we can transfer the 30,000 Guan Ning army of Ji Ze, we can defeat this captives and boost the morale of the army!" The captives and cavalry plundered in separate ways, and there were only a few thousand horsemen on each road, and we had tens of thousands of troops, and there was no problem in defeating them. ”

"Defeated? To put it nicely, when will the officers and troops be able to defeat the captives with thousands of soldiers and horses in a field battle? In the past, it was said that 'the Jurchens are less than 10,000 and 10,000 are invincible', but now the Jurchens not only have salvos, but also cannons. The quantity and quality are no worse than those of the officers and soldiers, and the people who operate the artillery are all the officers and gunners who have surrendered to the past. Moreover, the Qing army had strict military discipline, especially for the Han people who surrendered to the past, and it was common for them to be demoted to slavery and beheaded and robbed. Therefore, those Han soldiers were Mianyang in the official army, and when they arrived at the Qing army, they all became fierce beasts. Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei complained in their hearts, they believed that Lu Xiangsheng also knew, but the burden was on their shoulders, and they didn't dare to live up to the emperor's trust and grace, and there was no way to ignore the court's discussions, so they had to take the initiative.

The two were silent, neither saying anything, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Lu Xiangsheng finally ordered: "Guard the camp tonight and restrain the soldiers." Tomorrow, when the Guanning army arrives, he will take the initiative to attack and attack with the Guanning cavalry, defeat the captive cavalry in one fell swoop, and boost the morale of the people! ”

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a resolute face, they knew that the superintendent had made up his mind, and he had obeyed orders under Lu Xiangsheng in the past two years, so he naturally knew Lu Xiangsheng's temper, so they didn't dare to persuade him again, so they had to clench their fists and stand solemnly, and promised loudly: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
