Seeing that all the generals agreed to continue the decisive battle with the Tartars, Lu Xiangsheng also relieved his heart, raised the thick bowl and drank several large bowls with the generals instead of tea.

However, although it has been decided to continue to seek fighters in Hebei, there are still some things that still need to be done, such as the officers and men of Xuanda who have always been hungry and full, and their health is not very good, so they need to take care of it for a few days, and the weapons and armor must also be repaired as soon as possible, and some disrupted establishments must also be reorganized in a hurry, and so on.

In this way, it took three days for Lu Xiangsheng to deal with the people of the headquarters, and when Pang Gang asked where Lu Xiangsheng was going, Lu Xiangsheng popped out a place name from his mouth, "Giant Deer"

The night quietly shrouded the whole land, and the city of Baoding became silent.

In a seemingly inconspicuous courtyard in the Yamen of the Baoding Governor, a small room was dimly lit, and Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, was sitting behind the bookcase, staring at the middle-aged man standing in front of the bookcase, dressed in a brown short suit with a white face.

"Grandpa Sun, please go back to Gonggong Gao, Lu Xiangsheng has already received support from grain and grass, it is useless for us to pinch his neck like this, let's let it go, otherwise if we have a deep enmity in the future, there will be no possibility of resolving it."

Gonggong Sun sneered: "Governor Zhang, do you think you didn't offend Lu Xiangsheng a while ago?" Let's tell you the truth, now Gonggong Gao is camping less than fifty miles away from Baoding, Lu Xiangsheng doesn't apologize to Gonggong Gao, even if he still wants to fight a decisive battle with the Qing soldiers, is the Qing soldiers so easy to fight, isn't it the emperor's family that is consumed by fighting and fighting? If they are all gone, what will the emperor do to quell the rogues? Therefore, we can't get used to that reckless man, we have to treat him well, so that he can understand how high the sky is and how thick it is. ”

Zhang Qiping frowned and said, "What does Father-in-law Sun mean?"

Grandpa Sun said without hesitation: "Continue to suppress him, close the four doors, and can't let him get a grain of grain and a little help in Baoding, can you do it?" ”

"That's fine, but"

"No, but for Lu Xiangsheng, a reckless man who does not repent, he has to be worth it, otherwise he will jump into the sky."

"Okay, Ming'er will order the four doors to continue to be closed, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave." Although Zhang Qiping was very dissatisfied with this father-in-law Sun who was holding chicken feathers as an arrow, after all, there were Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang standing behind him, and he didn't dare to offend too much, so he had to reluctantly agree

"Lu Dudu, the current Baoding City is still closed, and our people will not let them go if they want to enter the city to buy things, what should we do?" In the big tent of the Chinese army, a quartermaster asked Lu Xiangsheng in embarrassment.

Although with the arrival of Pang Gang to solve the problem of food and grass in the army, there is still some work to be done, such as the disposal of the wounded, medicines and some bits and pieces of items must also be purchased, which can only be purchased after entering Baoding, after all, Baoding is a big city, and only in Baoding can these things be bought at this time.

Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a while and said: "Don't pay attention to it, since Zhang Qiping doesn't want us to enter the city, let's not go in, let's go to Julu first." ”

"Yes, let's go!"

With Lu Xiangsheng's order, tens of thousands of troops who had been recuperating for several days immediately pulled out of the camp and drove towards the south

On May 20 of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Lincheng Lincheng was close to Shanxi, and some days ago it was not taken by the Qing soldiers, but the footprints of these Qing soldiers also began to reach this place.

The summer months in May were supposed to be beautiful, but at this time they were a scene of decay, with abandoned villages and ruined walls, and the occasional one or two of hungry bony wild dogs running down the side of the road with bones from nowhere.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and a group of knights galloped past from the east, looking at their outfits, but the Ming army did not collect at night.

Led by a night does not collect with a resolute look, but he is carrying a long Mini rifle on his back, the night does not accept is a mobile surname very high team, so the night does not accept the weapon also has its own special requirements, such as easy to carry, powerful and so on, although the Mini rifle is powerful, but because of its length of more than one meter and the inconvenience of loading ammunition on the horse, so that the cavalry is not very fond of carrying it to the battlefield. But this man was carrying this rifle that only foot soldiers carry, and it seems that this man must be a man who likes to play with firearms.

The team soon stopped, led by a man of about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, who always had a faint smile on his face, and looked like a harmless big boy, but only his brothers knew that he was purely a poisonous snake who liked to shoot cold guns in the shadows.

This night does not accept the name of Lu Ming, and is also the only one in the team who can provide long-range cover for his teammates, his marksmanship is also famous in the night not to collect the team, at a distance of two hundred paces, he will never hit your right eye if he wants to hit your left eye, in the words of later generations, Ya is a sniper.

Lu Ming reined in the horse's reins and panted to a middle-aged man with a rough face in the middle: "Wang Tou, listening to the voice, the tartar is getting closer and closer, if we continue to run like this, the horse will not be able to stand it, in this case, none of us will be able to run, it is better to stop here and do their vote." ”

The king in the middle hesitated for a while after listening to Lu Ming's words and asked, "There are more than 20 people in the Tartars, and there are only five of us, which is too dangerous." ”

Lu Ming patted his favorite rifle in his hand, "Don't be afraid, I can hide in the distance and blow their heads with a rifle, as long as you and your brothers drag them down." ”

"Okay then, let's just do his vote, anyway, it's a death to run like this!" Several people who didn't close the night looked at each other and agreed.

After losing two brothers and the remaining horses, they ran for a long time and found that they couldn't get rid of the pursuers behind, so they couldn't help but stop and fight to the death.

After a few people dismounted, Lu Ming still rode his horse forward for nearly a hundred steps before stopping and burrowing into a hidden place.

After seeing that Lu Ming was well hidden, Wang Tou also took out a few earth-shattering thunderbolts from the cloth bag hanging on the saddle and distributed them to everyone one by one, and said: "Okay, I won't say much about the superfluous, in short, just one sentence, if the war is unfavorable, everyone will make their own decisions, and they must not or fall into the hands of the Tartars, do you understand?" ”

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed in unison, and their voices were unusually firm!
