The next day, in Jiazhuang, Julu County, corpses were all over the field, wolf smoke was everywhere, Lu Xiangsheng and his Tianxiong army were stationed here, although there was no battle, but there was a tense atmosphere of imminent war, and everyone's nerves were tense.

At this moment, most of the Tianxiong army are old and weak soldiers, without the majestic and mighty momentum of the past, scattered everywhere in groups, under the dirty face, all sallow, the face is withered, very haggard, lips are white, licking with wet tongue from time to time, although there is no speech, but it looks weak, as if it has not eaten for many days.

Lu Xiangsheng's velvet armor was patrolling everywhere, asking about the situation of his subordinate battalions, his eyes looked into the distance from time to time, and under his calm expression, his eyes were bright and uncertain, flashing a ray of melancholy, and the voice of the general suddenly sounded next to him.

"General, Yang Tinglin has been in charge for a night and a half a day, and the army led by the eunuch is stationed in Jize, and the camp is less than fifty miles away from here, if you can really borrow troops and get food and grass, even if you can't catch up, you should have let people say a word a long time ago."

"I know that, but so what?" Lu Xiangsheng replied to the rhetorical question without looking back, and then said in a serious and deep voice: "At this time, the Qing army is divided into two ways to go south, if we evacuate Julu, the Qing army led by Abatai, Azig and Zierharang can easily take Julu, conquer Guangping, Shunde, Daimyo and other places, our hometown, and then go east to Shandong, and join forces with another group of Qing army Yue Tuohui." ”

Hearing this, the hearts of the surrounding generals sank, as a native of the Daimyo Mansion and the surrounding people, they loved this hot land deeply, after several lives and deaths, the most soldiers, but also knew that once the Qing army went south and hit their hometown, then their relatives and friends would not escape the poisonous end, more death and less life, and it would be difficult to escape the poisonous hands of the Tartars.

Wherever the Qing army passed, it must have been a scorched earth, and even those who survived were treated as cattle, sheep, and slaves, and were taken away by the Tartars.

"General, we understand, no matter what others do, we are not only fighting for the imperial court, but also fighting to defend our own families, fighting to defend our homeland, the eldest husband should be like this, death is death!"

I don't know who shouted these words, which immediately resonated, Lu Xiangsheng was shocked, and an inexplicable battle intent appeared in his chest, and he couldn't help but say impassionedly: "That's right!" Fight for your hometown, fight for your relatives, the husband should be like this, and if you die, you will die! ”

At this time, a small colonel approached, stepped forward, raised his eyes, and looked around cautiously, and then said in a low voice: "General, listen to the news from Zhangde Mansion in Henan, Henan Province has now been occupied by Li Zicheng, and that King Chuang claimed that in order to resist the Qing Dynasty, everyone should unanimously go to the outside world and drive the Tartars away. ”

As soon as these words came out, there were sudden waves, and all the hearts were stirred, and some people agreed.

"General, there are rumors that the king Li Zicheng intends to fight against the Qing Dynasty with you, drive away the Tartars, protect the safety of the people in Beizhili, and avoid the destruction of lives, everything is based on the interests of the descendants of Yan and Huang, so as not to fight in the same room, let the Tartars pick up the cheap, and look at the jokes of our Han people."

The meaning is already very obvious, it is obvious, in the face of everyone's attention, if there is a hint of nothing, Lu Xiangsheng seems to have no feeling, and he ignores the words of the generals around him.

Whether it was uniting with Li Zicheng, or waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court to resist the Tartars, Lu Xiangsheng's heart was already dead, and he was ready to die on the battlefield.

Now he, Lu Xiangsheng knows that he and the 5,000 Tianxiong army are surrounded by many encirclements, besieged by the Qing army, if there is no reinforcements, there is no possibility of survival, how can he prepare in the future?

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves galloped and rumbled, as if turning over the river and the sea, startled everyone to look up, only to see the Qing army coming from the west to cover up, straight to the place where he and others were stationed, Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly ran to his war horse, and hurriedly greeted: "Hurry ~ hurry ~ get on the horse, evacuate to the Artemisia Water Bridge, and fight and retreat, and fight and retreat, and fight and fight a decisive battle with the Qing army there!" ”

Everyone didn't have time to think so much, looking at the Qing army that was getting closer and closer, as soon as they heard Lu Xiangsheng's two loud shouts, they instinctively obeyed the order, got on their horses one after another, and at the same time evacuated to the Artemisia Bridge, they were also fighting fiercely with the Qing army!

For a time, the artillery roared and the arrows rained down, worthy of being the Tianxiong Army, which was known as the super combat power of the late Ming Dynasty, and only in terms of combat effectiveness at this moment, it was not inferior to the Guanning Iron Cavalry!

Even the old and weak soldiers, even if they are already wounded, even if they are surrounded by many people, there is no possibility of victory, no one surrenders, there is no slightest will to fight, they are all fighting in the last battle of their lives!

The tragic symphony is being performed, without the encouragement of flowers and applause, the smell of blood is stimulating the bloody nature of the Tianxiong army, and the collision of swords is inspiring their last trace of war spirit and madness.

There are fewer and fewer personnel, and Lu Xiangsheng is not immune, in the process of fighting with the Qing army, he was hit by four arrows and three swords, and fell under the horse, even so, he is still fighting hard, fighting until the moment his life stops!

Seeing this, the guards came to the aid and protected it in the center.

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng was covered in blood, he couldn't see clearly, he was already standing unsteadily, kneeling on the ground, not caring about his unkempt hair, suddenly looked up to the sky and cried, and shouted hoarsely: "Why? Why? ”

The generals of the Tianxiong Army understood that General Lu was not crying for his misfortune, not complaining about his own suffering, but lamenting the current situation, barbarians slaughtering Guanzhong, killing our people, those important ministers of the court were still in the mood to play with authority, ignoring the country's society and the people of the world.

However, although this cry was roared out by Lu Xiangsheng with the last trace of strength, it was useless on this noisy and chaotic battlefield, like a drop of ink dripping into the sea.

Bang!

With a dull sound, Lu Xiangsheng fell to the ground heavily, and several guards fell to the ground, and hurriedly held him in his arms, just about to shout something in pain, suddenly, there was a sudden change on the battlefield, suppressed these people, and instinctively looked up.

Boom boom...

Bang bang bang ...

Da Da...

For a while, these people were stunned, they were very familiar with these voices, they were the sound of the Tiger Squat Cannon, the Three-Eyed Gun and the Thunderbolt mixed together, especially the latter two, as the elite of the elite in the official army, they knew the Three-Eyed Gun and the Thunderbolt very well.

The two can be fired continuously, once used on a large scale on the battlefield, the sound is like firecrackers, crackling, and the lethality is even more speechless, sweeping a large area.

At this moment, the Tianxiong Army rose with a glimmer of hope, such an advanced and powerful two kinds of firearms, now, only the three major battalions of the Beijing Division of the firearms battalion have large-scale equipment, even the Guanning Iron Cavalry is rare, not to mention the Qing army, which has just used firearms, is still mainly artillery.

Don't... Reinforcements are coming, Gao Qiqian that dead eunuch has figured it out?

These thoughts only flashed in the minds of the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army, and in the roar of all kinds of firearms, everyone followed the prestige, only to see that the rear of the Qing army was in chaos, and the rear of the west and south were all raided, and the formation was in chaos.

Teng Teng Teng...

Ten thousand horses galloped, wrapped in the fierce momentum of the sky and the earth, a cavalry from the southwest to cover and kill, like a surprise soldier from the sky, tearing through the heavy encirclement of the Qing army, like a strong wind blowing through the spider web, whistling, easily came to the front of the Tianxiong army.

"Where is Lu Xiangsheng's general soldier? Where is Lu Xiangsheng's general army? Brothers of the Tianxiong Army, the Li Jiajun is here! ”

At this moment, these soldiers of the Tianxiong Army were so moved that they almost burst into tears, working hard for the imperial court, fighting the enemy for the Zhu dynasty, and finally waiting for reinforcements were the "mortal enemies" in the past.

At the same time, how can it not be a kind of irony?
