Chapter 1082: Helpless

The mood is even worse for Lu Ding, who now occupies Danyang County. Sending troops to occupy Danyang County was a clever move in his own eyes, not only expanding his territory and having more bargaining chips, but also showing his strength to all parties, telling them that he was not without a choice.

But the problem is that the object he wants to flatter has no reaction to this, as if it doesn't matter if he occupies Danyang County, but Yongdu has come to the envoy, and the conditions of splitting the land and sealing the land must have surprised Lu must have been very surprised, and he didn't react for a while, why are the conditions of the Qin court so generous.

The truth was revealed a few days later, Deng Hong was killed, and the Deng family was destroyed. The imperial court is assembling a large army, preparing to immediately counterattack the Tiger Prison and fight to the death with the Ming army.

Lu must have been dumbfounded on this. What the imperial court can handle is the 50,000 Thunder Army, but any unit of the Ming Army is no worse than the Thunder Army. And as far as he knew, the main forces of the Ming army, which were now gathered in Hujiao, Qingzhou, and Yongping, could pull out 50,000 people at any time, and there were also heavy troops such as the miners' battalion.

The holy decree of Yongdu is now thrown by him like garbage in a pile of papers, and he doesn't take it seriously at all, Qin Guo is about to have it, how much more can this holy decree be worth? The messenger who came to deliver the decree really regarded himself as a green onion, and if he didn't kill him with a knife, he could be regarded as having a conscience.

Yongdu came and sent away, but he didn't know how to solve the problem in front of him.

After occupying Danyang, he thought that the Ming envoy did not come, but what he was waiting for was the Ming Dynasty's thunderbolt-like blow to Xingyuan County, less than a month, the entire Xingyuan County fell into the hands of the Ming army, the cavalry scouts of the chasing wind battalion have repeatedly penetrated into the territory of Danyang, if it is not for their own efforts to restrain their subordinates, I am afraid that the two armies have clashed. And as time goes by, I am afraid that the five thousand foot soldiers led by Yang Zhi, who are still in the county town, will also press to the border of Danyang County.

Akito didn't seem to have any intention of negotiating with him, which made him anxious.

The 30,000 army under his command has now shown signs of instability, Deng Hong's death, between middle and lower-level officers and soldiers, has caused a lot of shock, which is not something that he can suppress for a while, it can be said that after the imperial court destroyed the Deng family, it was impossible to cooperate with the imperial court. Emperor Qin's hand cut off his own way of return, and more importantly, Lu must not be optimistic about the upcoming decision at all.

If he doesn't surrender to Ming, then before this decisive battle comes, Mingguo will definitely have to solve himself first. Yu Chao and Yang Zhi occupied Xingyuan County, but they were afraid that it was a precursor to the Ming Kingdom to use force against them.

Speaking of this, Lu must have felt that he was really aggrieved, he had long wanted to surrender to the Ming Kingdom, and now all his actions were just to fight for a little more benefits for himself, couldn't Qin Feng see it? How can you say that now you also have two counties and an army of 100,000!

It's really urgent, rabbits will bite too! Lou must have gritted his teeth and thought.

In August, he still did not wait for the Ming people to come to negotiate with him, and the embarrassed and angry Lu must have issued a series of military orders, and 20,000 of the 30,000 troops were deployed to the border of Xingyuan County to confront the Chasing Wind Battalion, so that friction between the two sides was naturally inevitable.

As the skirmishes between the two sides become more and more intense, Lu must simply move his Chinese army battalion to the front line, or now some small-scale conflicts, but can stabilize the increasingly unstable military morale, what he has to do is to control the scale, just don't set yourself on fire.

The slightly undulating hills in the distance are the dividing line between Xingyuan County and Danyuan County, at this moment, in the direction close to Danyuan County, a small-scale battle is going on, not far from Lu Ding's camp, Lu must stand outside the gate, you can clearly see the battle.

On one side is his cavalry scout, and on the other side, naturally, is the Ming army's wind-chasing battalion.

The conflict between the two sides above the border line became more and more intense, and most of these battles took place in the territory of Danyuan, because Lu must have strictly restrained his subordinates from crossing the border into Xingyuan County, but the Ming army chasing the wind battalion had no scruples, and it was common to cross the border to provoke.

If there is still a certain limit between the two sides, it is that the scale of the battle between the two sides has always been maintained below 100 people.

Wearing a black half-length armor cuirass is the Ming army's wind-chasing battalion, and wearing the earthy yellow leather armor is the Qin State soldiers, because both sides are cavalry, so although there are only more than two hundred horsemen to fight again, but the movement is not small, within a range of miles, the cavalry on both sides chase back and forth.

Lu must have frowned, because his soldiers were losing the upper hand at this time, and the gap between the two sides was not only the gap in equipment, but also the gap in combat effectiveness. The elite cavalry of the Qin State was almost wiped out in the Battle of Hengdian a few years ago, and it was not an easy task to train a qualified cavalryman, and the massive amount of investment required was something that Lu must not afford. Now his 30,000 soldiers and horses are all cavalry, but most of them are infantry on war horses. The mobility is extremely strong, but once it encounters the real cavalry battle, it is dwarfed, and after suffering a big loss in the initial period, the scouts sent out by Lu Bu are the real cavalry elite in his hands.

But even so, what he saw now was that his own soldiers were at an absolute disadvantage. In the case that the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not much different, the quality of the equipment determines the difference between life and death. The cavalry of the Chasing Wind Battalion all have horse lances, ring-headed swords, half-body cuirasses, just a riding lance, the cost is extremely expensive, in the Lu Department, only the middle level can be owned by officers, but in the Ming army, it is a kind of standard equipment.

"General, send someone up to answer it, otherwise, I'm afraid that we won't be able to come back with more than 100 horsemen." The general Lu Yi couldn't help it, and rushed to Lu Cheng on horseback, these more than 100 cavalry were the elite of the Lu department, and he really couldn't stand it if he died in front of them in such a worthless battle.

Lu must have stared at the battlefield in front of him, and only after a while did he raise his horsewhip and point to the hilly line, "Do you know that behind that hill, is there a large number of Yu Chao's soldiers and horses, if we send people up, will they also take the opportunity to rush up?"

"It's like the Wind Chasing Camp is all here, and there are only more than 5,000 people." Lu Yi said loudly.

Lu must have snorted: "General Lu, if the whole battalion of the Wind Chasing Battalion is here, do you think our 20,000 people here must have a chance of winning?"

Lu Yi was dumbfounded, can he win? He didn't dare to say. He just couldn't bear to see his comrades die in front of him without going to the rescue.

"A hundred people are fighting, and if they are not as good as others, I have nothing to say." Lu must have said in a deep voice, but Lu Yi still heard the suppressed anger from the boss's words.

While speaking, the battle between the two sides had come to an end, and dozens of Qin soldiers finally got rid of the encirclement of the Ming army, fled the battlefield in embarrassment, and rushed towards them, and behind them, the victorious Ming army gathered together, raised the horse lances in their hands in unison, and roared wildly, demonstrating towards the distant Qin soldiers.

Lu must have turned pale, turned around and walked towards the gate.

He was waiting for the Ming army envoy to come and surrender him, so that he could put forward conditions, but the Ming people were showing off their force to him, how could Lu not understand the meaning of this?

Qin Feng wanted him to surrender unconditionally.

He still has a lot of strength, and he also owns the land of two states, must Lu be willing to hand over the lack of protection to others to adjudicate? He was not reconciled. Or send someone to ask to see the Ming Emperor again, take advantage of this opportunity to negotiate, and delay the time as much as possible, the more you drag it back, the more advantageous it will be to get away from yourself, and when the Yongdu army comes, you will have more room for your own activities.

Now the question is, will Akito give himself this time? Doesn't Akito see his plans?

Worriedly returned to his Chinese army camp, but unexpectedly saw Han Kun waiting in his big tent, Han Kun is now sitting in Qingzhou, his sudden appearance here, it must mean that something big happened in Qingzhou.

"What's wrong with Qingzhou? Chen Zhihua called in?" Lou's expression must have changed dramatically.

"General, this is not true, but the situation in Qingzhou is already quite critical." Han Kun's expression was very haggard, when he and Lu must have planned to march into Danyang and pull the main force into Danyang County, he forgot one thing, that is, over the years, the Ming people have infiltrated Qingzhou all the time.

In the past, there were tens of thousands of troops of Lu Certain, and these questions were all suppressed by a powerful army, so naturally no splash could be made, but when Lu's army was gone, the dark tide under the calm water immediately surged.

The troops left in Qingzhou surrendered to the Ming people one after another, and they were originally the troops that Lu must have forcibly recruited later, as the auxiliary army of Lu Ding's own army, and the Ming people infiltrated some of these armies.

In addition to these troops, the local squires in Qingzhou also began to move, and they began to collude with Kaiping County openly or covertly, and their intention to defect to the Ming people was already obvious, and Han Kun could no longer suppress it.

Although Chen Zhihua has not yet set foot in Qingzhou, Qingzhou is about to become the territory of the Ming army.

"General, make a decision quickly, Chi Ze has changed, Qingzhou is no longer in our hands. Even if there are troops stationed in Qingzhou County, I don't dare to say that they don't have any unusual thoughts at all." Han Kun sighed. People's hearts are all in chaos. I am sure that as long as the Ming army openly steps into the territory of Qingzhou, Qingzhou will inevitably fall to the wind."
