After Dolgon gave the order, the Qing soldiers around the Ming army camp dug and set up a village on the spot, and slowly, the continuous Qing army camp appeared in front of the Ming army soldiers, it seemed that from any direction, it was a Qing army tent that could not see the edge at a glance, and all kinds of flags fluttered in the cold wind.

The flagbearers on the lookout pole car kept sending flags, and those Qing army camp tents were the most on the banks of the Huanshui River ten miles to the east, and there were also many upstreams and downstreams of the Artemisia River close to the Ming army camp, only the camps on the other side of the Artemisia River in the west seemed to be less.

At this time, the soldiers of Xuanda and Shandong quietly watched the Qing soldiers camp, seeing that their people were neighing, and the auxiliary soldiers of the brigade were facing the cold wind, going out to fetch water and make food, and the accents of foreign races kept coming out of their ears.

Slowly as night fell, in the camp of the Qing army, the lights were lit up with dots, and finally converged into a bright sea of lights. In addition, the camp of the Ming army is also brightly lit, and when you look down from the air, it is like several huge cities that never sleep.

That night, Lu Xiangsheng summoned the generals to discuss the matter, and Lu Xiangsheng knew that the military strength of the Qing army had brought a lot of impact to the generals, so he began to try his best to cheer up the generals.

After the discussion, Lu Xiangsheng stopped Liu Yan again and asked Liu Yan to accompany him around. Lu Xiangsheng was followed by his personal general Chen An, and Liu Yan was only followed by Miao Shao and a few other personal guards, and the group was just patrolling around the camp.

The entire Ming military camp was heavily guarded, and the soldiers patrolling the battalions were continuous, and the shouts of orders were constantly sounding. Other than that, there was silence around the tents, except for the dim light of the lanterns and torches in front of the tents.

In the outer defense line of the Ming army camp, each battalion here also arranged a large number of night watchmen, planted on the ground on rows of wooden poles, hung with layers of lanterns, shaking from time to time in the cold wind, but also illuminating the surrounding boundary. In order to prevent the Qing soldiers from stealing the camp, in addition to these night watchmen and lanterns and torches. On the ground on three sides surrounding the camp of the Ming army, there were also layers of thistles sprinkled with secret investigations, and horses were also scattered on key areas.

In this era, it is not easy to steal the camp, not to mention that there are many soldiers suffering from night blindness, and the banner of the cold weapon era has lost its effect. It's okay for a small group of people to sneak attack, but a large force of troops to carry out a sneak attack is purely to add to the chaos. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for the Qing soldiers to steal the camp of the Xuanda army, and in the same way, it is not so easy for the Xuanda army to sneak attack the camp of the Qing army.

Liu Yan and Lu Xiangsheng came to the outer defense line of the camp, looking at the dense sea of lights in the Qing army camp opposite, Liu Yan was a little in a trance, and seemed to have a little feeling of returning to the afterlife and facing the sea of lights in the city.

The group turned around the periphery of the camp, and finally came to the Artemisia River, opposite the Qing army camp faintly lit of the sea of lights, connected to the stars in the sky, it seemed that it was impossible to distinguish which was the sky and which was the earth.

The cold night in the middle of winter is bone-chilling, and the night wind by the river is even stronger. Liu Yan was wearing armor on his body, and he felt cold to the bones. Sometimes a cold wind blows, Liu Yan will involuntarily shiver all over his body, and from time to time he hears the sound of the teeth of the surrounding people touching up and down.

In the dark night by the river, Lu Xiangsheng, Liu Yan and others saw a fire burning in one place, several people jumped around the fire, and one of them also threw paper money from time to time, chanting words in his mouth: "Come back!" Come back......"

Lu Xiangsheng strode over Chen An, and soon he came back to report: "The governor is the brother of the governor's battalion, and he did not accept his brothers during the night of the two days of battle, and he reported to the governor for permission during the day. ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, and everyone quietly watched the few soldiers of the Supervisory Battalion jumping around, not ridiculous, but extremely solemn, Liu Yan's eyes suddenly moistened. I don't know how long it took, those soldiers dispersed, Lu Xiangsheng was wearing a big hat, just looking at the Qingying Lantern Sea on the other side of the river and motionless, for a long time, he suddenly asked, "Liu Yan, this time the imperial court recruited your troops to rush to the aid of the governor, do you regret it?" ”

Liu Yan was stunned, the imperial court ordered to recruit himself to lead his troops to aid Lu Xiangsheng's department, and at that time he just said that he would come to the meeting as soon as possible, but Liu Yan had hundreds of years of knowledge in later generations, and naturally knew that as long as he led his troops to come, he would definitely arrive at Julu and face a big battle of nine deaths and a lifetime, but Liu Yan still led his troops to come, why?

Of course, in order to try to save Lu Xiangsheng is a reason, after all, Lu Xiangsheng is a rare perfect general in the late Ming Dynasty, and Liu Yan can save one by himself. Secondly, Liu Yan also wants to win the results of the Battle of Julu, and the victory of the battle is very important to Liu Yan, which is related to Liu Yan's promotion to official positions and development of strength in the future.

With the results of this war in hand, Liu Yan will be much smoother in the future, and this time, Liu Yan must make a bet.

So Liu Yan smiled and said: "What do you regret, follow the governor to kill the thief, it is death, and the last general will also die as he deserves!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng sighed lightly: "You shouldn't have come, there are so many soldiers and horses in Shandong Dusi, it is said that it will not be your turn to come as a defensive officer." If you stay in Shandong, with your own being, it can be said that you have a bright future, and you will not be under siege as you are now, and the future is unpredictable! ”

Liu Yanlang laughed and said: "The governor has the grace of knowing the last general, although the last general is a martial artist, he also knows the grace of dripping water, and the truth of reciprocating when the spring springs." If you are encircled, you will be encircled, just kill the thief! ”

Lu Xiangsheng muttered something and sighed: "Although you are a martial artist, you understand the truth of loyalty better than most literati. My generation has read the books of the sages, and I am not as much as yours. ”

Then he said: "When the war slave and thief retreat, the governor will ask the emperor to go home again." Jia Yan died, and his children could not keep filial piety by his side, which was really unfilial. ”

Liu Yan comforted: "It is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety, and the governor doesn't have to blame himself too much." ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded silently, and then tightened the big puff on his body: "It's still too cold in the north, I really miss the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

He turned his head and smiled at Liu Yan and said, "In the future, when the governor returns to Changzhou, if you come to Yixing, the governor will definitely greet you." ”

Liu Yan said with a smile: "It's decided, if you have the chance, you will definitely come to the door to eat." ”

Everyone around laughed, and Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but shake his head.

That night, when Liu Yan slept until the third watch, he suddenly heard a faint sound of slapsticks from the surroundings, which came from the Qing camp, just like embattled, perhaps the Qing soldiers used it to break the fighting spirit of the Xuan army. The sound of the basket is mysterious, faintly echoing in the night sky.

Liu Yan listened for a while, and simply sat up, his heart was surging, tomorrow's battle must be extremely difficult, his own hard work, can he change the outcome of the battle of Julu?

Scenes of the past appeared in front of him, from Wangjiazhuang Dapandun to the present, he couldn't turn back, Liu Yan sighed in his heart: "Tomorrow, let's fight to the death!" ”

He thought quietly, and after thinking about it for a long time, Liu Yan fell asleep again.

Early the next morning, the horn of the Qing camp sounded non-stop, and from morning to night, it seemed that a large number of Qing troops had arrived, converging on the army that had come yesterday. They camped closely around the perimeter, around the vicinity of the Xuanda camp, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

There was still no war that day, but it was obvious that the Qing soldiers had already made up their minds to wipe out Xuanda and Shandong soldiers and horses in one drum. The intelligence has been obvious, the east, north, and south of the Ming army camp have a large number of Qing troops gathered, only Hexi will be less.

This is not because of Dolgon's negligence, but because of the more sinister intentions, using the tactics of encircling three and one, it seems that the Xuanda army will leave a way to escape to the west, so that the whole army will have the heart to survive, thereby weakening the will to fight to the death.

Lu Xiangsheng, Liu Yan and others can be sure that there must be a large ambush in the western direction. Even if there is no ambush, as long as the Ming army retreats and flees, the whole army has no fighting spirit, and the Qing soldiers chase after each other in three ways, and the soldiers of the Ming army can escape, there will definitely be no one in ten.

Throughout the day that day, Liu Yan, Lu Xiangsheng and others all looked at the Qing camp and estimated the Qing soldiers and horses that continued to arrive. Liu Yan estimated that the Qing army besieged this time was at least twice as much as the strength of the Qing army in history, Liu Yan sneered in his heart, and said secretly: "If you don't despise it, or you don't pay too much attention to it, Dolgon and others are sick!" ”

Another day passed, and the sun was shining and the weather was good, but the wind was obviously stronger than yesterday, and the cold wind whistled from time to time, blowing the banner and the clothes to the hunt.

In the early morning of this day, the horn of the Qing army camp sounded again, and I saw that the battalions were densely packed with men and horses, and finally formed a dense and unventilated piece, on the distant horizon, from three directions, black pressure poured towards the Xuanda camp.

The Qing soldiers were finally about to go to war, all the soldiers exhaled, Lu Xiangsheng came to the middle of the outer defense line, faced the camp for a few times, bowed to all the soldiers, and encouraged loudly. He said loudly: "I and the soldiers, we will receive the favor of the court, and we will not die, and we will not live!" ”

Everyone shouted with joy, and Liu Yan shouted: "Brothers, kill those dwarf tartars and leave no armor!" ”

Everyone laughed, and Lu Xiangsheng laughed too.

The dense gun forest was erected, and in the new army of Xiahezhai, I don't know who took the lead in singing the military song "Man Jianghong": "Angry hair rushes to the crown and leans on the railing, and the rain rests." Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce. Thirty merits, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and ...... moon"

Liu Yan's impassioned interface: "...... Jing Kang is ashamed, and it is still snowing. When will the courtiers perish? Drive a long car, step through Helan Mountain's lack of ......"

Lu Xiangsheng also said loudly: "Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood......"

More and more people sang it, and slowly the military songs converged into a majestic piece. From Lu Xiangsheng to Liu Yan to Yang Guozhu, to Hu Dawei, to Zhang Yan, all the soldiers of the Ming army were singing loudly. At this moment, the crowd was not afraid, no longer afraid.

After the soldiers of the Ming Army sang "Man Jianghong", the soldiers of the new army of Xiahezhai sang their own military song "The Final Army of the Han Dynasty"

"You don't see, the end of the Han army, the weak crown is a captive, please Changying,

You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds!

The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life?

The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feather is constantly fighting!

Abandon my old pen, and write my wartime,

More than 100,000 comrades sang war songs and joined the army.

An Bangguo, clean the dust, swear to sweep away the East slave without regard for himself! ”

Lu Xiangsheng and other soldiers listened to the new army of Xiahezhai sing this military song, and their hearts were even more surging, although they couldn't sing, but they also cheered with their arms, and the morale of the Ming army reached its peak.

The majestic singing of the Ming army spread far away, and when the Qing soldiers who came from three sides heard it, many people looked solemn, the Ming army was different, and everyone really had to be careful.

In the sea of Qing army flags that came from the front, the golden dragon banner of the general Dolgon and the Yangwu general Yue Tuo kept churning in the cold wind. Behind the banners of the two people, in addition to their many domestic slave guards, they also followed the dragon banner of the second banner Bayala Banner Zhangjing. Behind the dragon flag, all colors are silver iron armor, and the baya soldiers riding horses on their hips. Behind the Bayala soldiers was the soldiers of the Aliha Chaoha Battalion who were densely packed with two banners.

"What are those Nikans singing?"

The rest of the people didn't know, but Dolgon and Yue Tuo could understand it, Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong", the two had heard it since they were children, and when they heard it at this time, they felt that it was so harsh.

In addition, although the military song sung by the Ming army later had not been heard, Dolgon and Yue Tuo felt that this song was even harsher than "Man Jianghong", and their faces had become very ugly.

"This Ming army must not stay, it will become a big disaster in the future!"

Dolgon no longer hesitated, and immediately called the Eight Banners Manchuria Zhenghongqi Bayala Camp Niu Lu Zhang Jing Tan Bai, ordered him to lead his troops to attack, and also mobilized all troops and horses to accompany the attack.

Yue Tuo also nodded in agreement.

Some people died, but not completely......
