Chapter 260: Night Attack on the Enemy Camp

Lu Xiang was promoted to the position of overseer, and logically speaking, he belonged to the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and his authority was not insignificant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut this overseer of his has to be controlled by others everywhere. Because, the army of the Ming Dynasty has a supervising army, and the person who supervises the army is a eunuch sent by the emperor, whose power is often above the main general.

The Qing army marched all the way, and in just ten days, even several prefectures and counties have approached Tongzhou.

Tongzhou, to the east of the capital, is only more than forty miles away from the capital, and the arrival of the Qing army here has seriously threatened the Beijing division. Lu Xiangsheng, as a supervisor, how could he not send troops to resist the enemy?

But now he only has more than 30,000 people in his hands, which is equivalent to half of the enemy's army, how can this battle be fought?

There were three of the most powerful armies in the Ming Dynasty, namely the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the Qin Army, and the Tianxiong Army led by Lu Xiangsheng. But even such an army, against the iron cavalry of the Qing army, it is difficult to defeat one against two. Even with the same combat power, there may not be a chance of victory.

With this in mind, Lu Xiangsheng's decision was to attack at night.

This time, the supervising army was Gao Qiqian, and when Lu Xiangsheng decided the strategy of attacking the enemy camp at night, Gao Qiqian was naturally also present.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Gao Qiqian smiled, and said in a male duck's throat: "Inspector Lu's plan is very good, but this road is far away, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and insisted: "Father-in-law Gao has been thinking too much, this plan is feasible!" ”

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng insisted, Gao Qiqian didn't say anything more.

Since then, the plan has been decided, and the commanders Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, and Hu Dawei got the order and went back to gather the soldiers and horses under their command.

That night, Lu Xiangsheng was fully clothed, and behind him were two personal soldiers holding the sword of the monk Fang. Counting this time, Zhu Youzhen has given him the Shang Fang Sword for the third time.

Facing more than 30,000 soldiers under his command, Lu Xiangsheng issued an order before departure: "The knife must see blood, the people will be wounded, the horse will sweat, and the violator will ...... Chop!!! ”

At the sound of an order, more than 30,000 people were dispatched and marched in the direction of Tongzhou.

Lu Xiangsheng led his cavalry to the front of the enemy camp first, and after waiting patiently for a while, he received the news that the rear army had followed, and it would take less than a quarter of an hour to arrive here.

A quarter of an hour, enough time!

Lu Xiangsheng slowly raised the iron broadsword in his hand, pointed at the enemy camp in front of him, and shouted: "Kill-"

After the words fell, he had already taken the lead, rode his horse and rushed to the enemy camp, and his soldiers followed one after another, taking advantage of the night to launch a fierce attack.

"Kill—"

"Kill—"

"Kill—"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, quickly go back and report to the general—"

In the silent night, there were sudden sounds of killing, the Qing army was really defenseless, and the soldiers on night patrol had just reacted, and their lives had already been ruthlessly harvested.

Lu Xiangsheng took the lead, rushing like the enemy's camp, slashing left and right with a big knife in his hand, and in a moment's effort, he had already killed more than ten people. The cavalry behind him was also not to be outdone, and rushed forward, the swords in their hands raised high, and slashed at the enemy around them with a cold light.

The camp of the Qing army was in disarray, fleeing in all directions, and the generals were unable to organize themselves to carry out a powerful counterattack.

The Tianxiong army became more and more courageous, rushing left and right in the enemy camp, killing countless enemies.

It was about a quarter of an hour before the Qing army organized some of its men and began to counterattack.

"No, why hasn't the rear army arrived yet?"

Lu Xiangsheng only realized that the situation was wrong at this time, he had been fighting for a long time, calculating the time, the rear army should be able to arrive, but where did the follow-up soldiers and horses go?

"Whew-"

After killing another enemy in front of him, Lu Xiangsheng immediately turned his horse around and shouted loudly: "Pass my general, the whole army retreats quickly!" ”

He did not let the victory in front of him get carried away, although the attack was smooth, but the number of his vanguard troops was not enough, only more than 5,000 people, if the Qing army reacted, he would let people make dumplings.

Lu Xiangsheng rushed quickly, and he was not slow to retreat, but even so, he still found that it was very difficult to retreat, and there were obviously more enemies on the periphery.

Fortunately, it was night at this time, and the situation in the camp was too chaotic, and it was dangerous, so he finally led people to retreat successfully.

Lu Xiangsheng's face was covered with blood, and he looked back at the horse, looking at the small group of enemy troops chasing behind him, and the enemy camp that left him far behind, and felt resentful in his heart: the good situation was wasted like this.

More than 8,000 people rushed in, and when they came out, there were still more than 5,000 left, and it is estimated that more than 10,000 enemies were killed.

But Lu Xiangsheng's original plan was to defeat the enemy, but he didn't expect to let his people drag him back.

On the way back, he didn't find his rear army, so he confirmed his guess that Gao Qiqian had transferred all his follow-up soldiers and horses!

"This eunuch is really insidious, he should be killed!!"

Lu Xiangsheng was very angry, and he couldn't wait to slash Gao Qidive with a knife. But anger is anger, he still keeps calm, and at the same time he is very helpless.

He knew that he couldn't really run back and kill Gao Qiqian, in that case, it would become a rebellion.

Gao Qi sneaked into the prison army, and did have the power to mobilize troops and horses, if he reacted more slowly, I was afraid that even his life would be lost in the enemy camp, and the more than 8,000 people under his command would have to be wiped out.

Stretching out his hand to wipe the blood on his face, Lu Xiangsheng glanced at the soldiers beside him. Many of the soldiers were also covered in blood, with multiple wounds visible on their robes, apparently wounded. He sighed in his heart: "The country of the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed sooner or later in the hands of this gang of eunuchs!" My soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will have to let these eunuchs die sooner or later! ”

When Lu Xiangsheng returned to the barracks, he found that his rear army had already returned to the barracks, and asked a soldier to inquire about Gao Qiqian's big tent.

"Gao Qiqian, why did you transfer troops back to the camp without permission?"

Before Lu Xiangsheng entered the camp, he was already shouting angrily outside. Opened the curtain and went in, only to see Gao Qiqian sitting upright, holding a cup of steaming tea in his hand, looking at himself with a smile.

"Inspector Lu, what's wrong? Didn't the offense go well? ”

Gao Qiqian said slowly, then brought the teacup to his lips, took a sip, and then continued: "Our family has already said that this night attack is not easy to succeed, why don't you believe it?" ”

"You-"

Lu Xiangsheng was already full of anger, but now when he heard him say such cool words, his lungs were about to explode, but fortunately, he didn't have a knife in his hand at this moment, otherwise he would have to rush up and chop this traitor.

He stretched out his finger and pointed at Gao Qiqian, and finally just snorted coldly, threw down a sentence and left: "The eunuch who misleads the country and the people is not the same!" ”

When Gao Qiqian heard this, he looked at the back of Lu Xiangsheng, who left in a hurry, the smile on his face slowly put away, and his face became extremely gloomy: "Hmph...... What can you Lu Xiangsheng do with me? Just go back and wait for the ginseng! (To be continued.) )
