Chapter Forty-Eight: The Queen Mother's Negotiation of Peace Fails

All kinds of gunpowder, hot air balloons, and Lu Bing's trained wingmen were ready to end the battle with a kind of air raid that China had never seen before. Only by ending it as soon as possible can we stop the casualties of our soldiers and save the people from the war that has devastated their lives. Only with such a thunderous end can Lu Bing guarantee that he will win this war 100 percent.

Suddenly, Duan Qingfeng found Lu Bing and whispered a few words in Lu Bing's ear, and Lu Bing's brows furrowed slightly. Now he is about to take off at night and take a long journey to the capital, whether the people from this stall will see or not

Lu Bing thought about it again and again, and was ready to meet him. There is a land temple two miles outside Dengzhou City, but today's land temple is not very quiet, the elite groups of the Lu family's hundred refining elite soldiers gather here, Lu Bing and Duan Qingfeng rode in, and the hundred refining elite soldiers gave way. Before Lu Bing entered the mountain gate, the two sturdy men looked at Lu Bing and Duan Qingfeng nervously, and saw the two of them clasping their fists and said, "Lord Lu, Mr. Duan." ”

Lu Bing nodded and pushed the door in, there was a group of people in the house waiting for a woman, the woman was dressed gracefully and luxuriously, but the years were still not covered by gorgeous clothes and heavy makeup, and there was a fierce color between her eyebrows, which could not be concealed either.

Lu Bing hugged his fists and said, "Auntie." ”

"Bing'er is here, take a seat." That woman is not someone else, it is Zhu Houxi's biological mother, the current Empress Dowager Jiang.

Lu Bing nodded and sat down, and Jiang asked directly, "Bing'er, don't you brothers have to make trouble to this point?" ”

"Aunt is here to persuade peace?" Lu Bingdao did not visit the Queen Mother again. Because at this time he is no longer a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, but a hero who has established himself as a king.

The Empress Dowager Jiang nodded and said, "Bing'er, the widow thought that you brothers would just have a small fight between them. I didn't expect it to be so endless today. Among them, the palace did not play a good role, and asked the emperor to watch out for you all the time, but his suspicion was too serious, and now it is not an embankment but a war, and the development of things has exceeded the control of the palace. ”

Empress Dowager Jiang said the truth, she did not protect her children from above, and now she is like a worldly aunt and slowly taught Lu Bing: "You grew up together." No matter how you think about brotherhood, can you stop there? Although Hongu felt that this request was a bit excessive. ”

Lu Bing sighed and shook his head, and Empress Dowager Jiang looked disappointed. Squeezed out a smile and said: "It's just a try, it's expected that you don't agree, if you agree, I'm worried, hehe." This time, I secretly went out of Beijing and galloped all the way to Shandong. I saw Duan Qingfeng. I think he has already told you the news that I sent Lu Yin back, right? ”

Lu Bing nodded, hugged his fists and thanked him but didn't say anything, Empress Dowager Jiang nodded and said: "Aunt only asks you for one thing, for the sake of my old woman's face, if you can not kill him, don't kill him, okay?" ”

"Originally, the little nephew thought the same way." Lu Bing said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Then I'll be relieved." Empress Dowager Jiang said.

Lu Bing looked at Empress Dowager Jiang, and felt a sour feeling in his heart, pitying the hearts of parents all over the world. I can't bear to look at it anymore, I'm afraid that my heart will soften. Now in front of the world, there are too many problems involved. Not to mention that the Empress Dowager Jiang can't stop it, even Lu Bing and Zhu Houxi can't stop it from happening, this war will involve too many people's net worth and too many people's lives. The two sides can no longer stop moving forward, and one must win to end this troubled world.

Lu Bing turned around and left, saying as he walked, "Qingfeng, send a team of elites to send my aunt back." ”

"It's the lord."

Lu Bing galloped fast, with thousands of thoughts in his head, he went from a palace to a chivalrous man, and Zhu Houzhao was a good friend, accompanied Zhu Houxi to drive into Beijing with the king to ascend the throne, eradicated corrupt officials in the south, his hands and feet were short, and he founded Shandong Foundation, and he was in charge of Nanzhen Fusi Jinyi Wei Yiyi Qiqi all flashed quickly in Lu Bing's mind, his life was wonderful, life was a masterpiece, death was also a ghost, no matter whether he won or lost, Lu Bing was a big winner in life.

Lu Bing thought about it and came to the place where the hot air balloon was parked, and got off the hot air balloon, and the open space was covered with hundreds of hot air balloons, and each of those huge hot air balloons could carry more than 20 people, which was the limit of Lu Bing's research and development for many years.

Under an order, the hot air balloons rose one after another, and Lu Bingyang praised: "I started my life in Jinyi chasing and killing, and then entered Jinyi, this sound I have an inseparable connection with Jinyiwei, and now let me create a country built by Jinyiwei." The world will be stable, I will be kind to the people, and I will win! Because I'm Lu Bing! ”

—————————————————————————————————————

The tripartite war, Lu Bing's air attack on Beijing, and Lu Yi's decisive battle in Nanjing, naturally the battle between Xu Yang and Qi Jingtong is indispensable.

In addition to the 30,000 soldiers and horses who were stationed and maintained on the ground in Shandong, Xu Yang led a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses out of Shandong. Among them, there are a total of 60,000 elite troops with hundreds of elite soldiers, which is the main force of the main force and the killer ace force. The remaining 120,000 soldiers and horses were the Xiangma Army that Cai Longyu did not bring out of Shandong at that time, and was later incorporated into the queue, and there were also soldiers and horses of the imperial court. It is much better to be treated and respected by Lu Bing than to bear the notoriety of those good men who are not good men who are not soldiers outside.

Therefore, on the territory of Shandong, Zhu Houxi can be said to have lost his wife and soldiers, not only did he not trap Lu Bing, the real dragon and evil python, but also lost the garrison here. In fact, thinking about Zhu Houxi, he is not at a loss, the silver taels sown by his imperial court are not enough for the current expenses of the local army in Shandong, most of them are still subsidized by Lu Bing himself, but a few years ago, he hung up a reason for the imperial court's soldiers and horses. It is precisely because of the high military expenses of the Lu family's soldiers and horses, coupled with the relatively perfect system, that the Lu family is relatively diligent and the soldiers are powerful enough. So this is the result of Lu Bing's own efforts, and it has nothing to do with Zhu Houyu at all, it's just that people don't eat dogs, and Zhu Houyi doesn't think so. Once the soldiers and horses of the Lu family and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are placed together, not to mention the weapons and equipment, just looking at the physique and spirit will be immediate.

The remaining 20,000 horses under Xu Yang's command are medical workers, transportation troops and logistics troops, whose combat effectiveness is very poor, but they specialize in the art industry, and they have follow-up support in the war.

Xu Yang was full of confidence in this battle, and in the military range of Shandong, the Lu army defeated the imperial court soldiers and horses, and even the casualties were less than one percent. Moreover, in the imperial court, most of them are injured and they are wasted, not only can they not fight or fight, but they also consume a lot of rations in vain. On the other hand, the Lu family is very different, the medical facilities are relatively advanced, although the doctors in the army are not miracle doctors who cure all diseases and rejuvenate with their hands, but they have unique insights into knife wounds and trauma, and they also have a set of bruises. Lu Bing's combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine also made a good Lang Zhong who did minor surgery, so unless he was seriously injured, Lu Jiajun's minor injuries basically did not affect the marching battle, and the seriously wounded would also be transported to the rear, and they could still return to the battlefield after recovery. It not only increases the role of veterans in the ranks, but also allows soldiers to fight without worries, and they are no longer afraid of knife wounds or infections.

Sure enough, although there were a large number of soldiers and horses in the imperial court, they were powerless in the face of the Lu family army scattered around the Shandong border to defend. Xu Yang believes that it is obvious that Qi Jingtong has taken a stupid step, and the previous failures can still show some military talents, but now he has miscalculated again and again, causing the imperial court to lose soldiers and horses, and he is really worthy of the title of a famous general in the north. The two parties do not talk about the physical quality, do not talk about the level of momentum, whether the spiritual strength is resolute, just talking about weapons and equipment is already a difference between cloud and mud.

Not only Xu Yang, but even the entire Lu family army fell into a state of arrogance, thinking that the imperial court soldiers and horses were vulnerable, but they didn't know that a big net was spreading towards the Lu family army and was inviting you into the urn.

At the end of May of the 14th year of Jiajing, the sky somehow warmed up in advance, and the soldiers who had not yet fallen off their spring clothes were suddenly a little anxious, and the sweat on their bodies and the smoldering fire in their hearts were also tired of everyone's nerves. On such a day, Qi Jingtong actually chose not to retreat and wanted to fight to the death with the Lu family's army.

The generals of the Lu family army did not feel strange about this, this was the sixth decisive battle of the year, and the previous five times were all Lu family army victories without exception, Qi Jingtong's troops lost their armor and fled in a hurry, but because Qi Jingtong escaped fast enough every time, the number of prisoners was not much, but there were more than 10,000 people in total.

At first, Xu Yang thought that this was a trap, and he deliberately lured the enemy into the depths, so he didn't dare to pursue, and he said that he couldn't chase it. But after a long time, Xu Yang relaxed his vigilance, and even if he deceived and lured the enemy, it was still possible to lose a few hundred people, and 1,200 was understandable compared to the total number of Qi Jingtong's department in the imperial court. But now more than 10,000 people have died, if this is all a trick to lure the enemy, the price is too great, and again and again, how can it be a ploy to get six times, Qi Jingtong is simply joking with his own political life.

So Xu Yang did not hesitate to confront the imperial court soldiers and horses again, the Lu family's army attacked and defended in a relaxed manner, the cavalry attacked first before the artillery, and then a large number of cavalry charged, and the archers covered, and the cavalry no longer held on horseback, with bows and arrows that are difficult to draw the bow and shoot to kill the enemy, but more convenient burst fire and small crossbows. Before the two sides collided together, and before they even took a single face, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court had already been disrupted, and there were countless casualties.

And after the cavalry rushed into the camp, it was like plowing the ground, tearing apart the imperial soldiers and horses. In land warfare, cavalry is the natural enemy of infantry, and several infantry may not be able to deal with a cavalry, relying only on the speed and power of the horse to hang the blade on both sides of the saddle, put the gun on the Desheng hook to kill the enemy, not at all to turn back and chop. Later, the Lu family infantry made up, with a thousand people as a brigade, one hundred as a squadron, and ten as a squad, relying on each other to advance layer by layer, and followed the cavalry into the scattered imperial court Qi Jingtong's department to besiege and kill.
