Be the emperor from the postman

Jiang Xiang is suspected by Lu Xiangsheng of colluding with the hammer bandit He Jinzhao.

Because several of his brothers in Shaanxi had surrendered to the hammer bandits, he recommended Wang Pu as the general of Datong, and replaced them with his own people.

Jiang Xiang said that Lu Xiangsheng, the proclaimer and governor, said that he would never join forces with the hammer bandits.

Otherwise, he would have given the whole of Datong to the Hammer bandits long ago when he was the commander-in-chief.

Anyway, He Jinzhao has become the Heavenly Khan on the grassland. If he can control Datong, then he can control the Mongols better.

Although Lu Xiangsheng did not catch Jiang Xiangtong's actual action of the hammer, based on his intuition, he was transferred to the deputy commander.

So this time, it was Datong General Soldier Wang Pu who led the troops to follow Lu Xiangsheng.

After Lu Xiangsheng delivered this speech, Wang Pu felt that the leadership was not good enough.

He is not fighting, but leading people to die!
Although I, the general soldier, was promoted by Lu Xiangsheng's recommendation, but my life is my own, and I can never die on the battlefield for Daming.

Otherwise, Lao Tzu's family business will be gone.

When Lu Xiangsheng delivered this "morale boosting" speech, Wang Pu decided to take his 2000 people and run away, and he could not follow Lu Xiangsheng to die.

After the army set off, Wang Pu led more than [-] people and retreated behind Governor Lu.

Then he led his troops and ran back to Datong on the grounds that there were police in Datong, and he was afraid that the hammer bandits would make some moves.

I don't want to serve you any more, just run straight!

Who wants to die?

You are willing to die for the Ming Dynasty and be a loyal minister. Have you ever considered what to do with your brothers?
You, a high-ranking official who died in battle, have the emperor's pension, and your children and grandchildren can still be taken care of, and you have hereditary official positions.

But I waited for the big soldier, and I was in arrears with the military salary, not to mention the good thing that there is a pension after the death of the war!
At this point, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can still fight for the Ming Dynasty, so they can only grab food from the mouths of the people.

In the current situation, Lu Xiangsheng controlled less than [-] troops.

Regarding Wang Pu's escape, Lu Xiangsheng didn't say much.

At least in his opinion, Wang Pu is more reliable than Jiang Xiang as the commander-in-chief of Datong, and he is his own.

Lu Xiangsheng was forced to "fight" with Yang Sichang for so long, and he didn't think it through clearly. Sometimes it was his own people who were even more unreliable.

Most of the time, the enemy's lurkers will consider logical issues, so that it is not so obvious for their own side to lose.

Only in this way can they not be quickly suspected and exposed, or lure the Ming army into the trap several times, and will not eat them all at once.

Conducive to the lurk of the lurker.

But the problem is that the micromanagement of his own people directly ruined everyone, which is a bigger loss than the plan made by the lurkers.

Where can I justify this kind of thing?
No one, even the enemy and us, could have predicted this outcome.

It is better for Lu Xiangsheng to appoint Wang Pu than to appoint Jiang Xiang. At least he will consider exposing the problem, and the defeat will not be too obvious.

He will also carefully formulate military strategies so that no one will see him as an undercover agent.

Unlike Wang Pu, he just ran away.

If I can send someone to inform you about Lu Xiangsheng and give a reason, it would be good if Wang Pu wanted you to promote him to be the chief soldier.

With the current situation of the war, Lu Xiangsheng has no choice to be killed.

While he was thinking about how to break the situation, the Ming army walked to Haoshui Bridge and met the Qing soldiers.

Lu Xiangsheng took control of the central army and ordered Hu Dawei to lead the left wing and Yang Guozhu to lead the right wing to start a fierce battle with the Qing army.

The two sides fought fiercely for a day, and the damage was not small.

All the people followed Lu Xiangsheng and returned to the camp, where they ate, drank, wounded and rested.

"Master, we should have evacuated overnight."

Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, took off his armor and sat aside, eating a small amount of food.

Hu Dawei only felt sore arms. Even though he was good at horseback riding and archery, the armor of the Qing army was also excellent.

He could only aim at the eyes, neck and other parts. He was very exhausted and had to go into battle.

He was originally a soldier outside the Great Wall, and he fought against the hammer bandit He Jinzhao when he was in Shanxi.

Later, the hammer bandits grew stronger and drove the officers and soldiers out of Shanxi. Later, when they arrived in the capital, they were appointed as the general army of Shanxi by Chongzhen.

These years of experience also made him very much agree with Lu Xiangsheng's deeds.

"Master, our army doesn't have reinforcements, but Qinggou can keep calling for reinforcements.

If the stalemate continues, I'm afraid Qinggou will have to surround Nanjiazhuang before dawn, making it impossible for us to withdraw.

Therefore, it is better to break out of the encirclement in the dark and approach the army, so that the Qing army will not dare to pursue it easily. "

Hu Dawei shook his sore arm, and continued to fight, it was checkmate.

As for that bastard Wang Pu, running first is enough to explain the problem.

Having fought for so many years, it is not common to see someone as lucky as Wu Guojun.

Because after one or two great achievements, this kind of person may not be able to survive the next battle.

But most people are not as capable as people like Wang Pu, at least they have a strong sense of crisis, and they can stay safe and retreat in the midst of chaos.

Ordinary people have long since died in the chaos.

Lu Xiangsheng remained silent, where can he call for reinforcements at this time?

It is better to count on yourself to defeat the Qing army than count on the eunuch Gao Qiqian.

When there was silence in Lu Xiangsheng's tent, the Qing army surrounded Nanjiazhuang three layers and three layers in the darkness.

After finally meeting the Ming army who dared to fight in the field, we must pay enough attention.

At the same time, Abatai already planned to use the besieged Ming army to catch another more powerful Ming army to rescue.

The tactic of besieging points and attacking aid is currently the first choice in the Qing army's combat mode.

But Abatai was disappointed. Gao Qiqian, who had Guan Ning's elite, didn't dare to rescue him at all, and wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

The Qing army must not keep an eye on me.

This is the "person with the most military strategy" among the most trusted ministers considered by Chongzhen.

Before dawn, the Qing army sent a large number of cavalry to run directly around the camp to deter the remaining Ming army.

After dawn, the Qing army surrounded a small village densely, which really made people's scalp tingle.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't change his face when he saw this, but became stronger and stronger.

He lined up his troops without panic, deployed giant cannons in the army, mixed with strong bows and crossbows, and waited for the Qing army to attack.

The two sides fought fiercely for three hours, and under the leadership of Lu Xiangsheng, the Ming soldiers fought back desperately.

By noon, the bombs of the Ming army's artillery exploded, even if they could use gunpowder, there was no more gunpowder, and the arrows were shot out long ago.

Abatai, who had been watching the battle all the time, heard the report from the scouting horse, saying that the Ming army tens of miles away had shown signs of fleeing, and Du Du and others had already ambushed his subordinates along the way.

"Tell them the result of the current battle situation, and then send someone to persuade them to surrender."

Abate gave an order.

This wave of the Ming army has good combat power and is very strong.

The most important thing is that Guan Ning elite of Daming voluntarily gave up as cannon fodder.

If they can be used by the Qing Dynasty, they will be designated to exert great combat power in the future.

The hatred for Daming will make these abandoned children even crazier.

Only in this way will it be beneficial to the prosperity of our Qing Dynasty.

When the Ming army led by Lu Xiangsheng was told by the Qing army outside that they had been abandoned.

The reinforcements of the cock crowing have already run away. If you surrender to the Qing Dynasty, you will be able to keep your wealth, share the land, marry wives and have children, and continue your wealth.

Lu Xiangsheng knew about Gao Qiqian's escape from cock crowing, but he didn't say anything about it.

Hearing the words of the Qing army now, it is a little hard to accept, or it is hopeless.

But the words of the Qing army may not be credible!
The most important thing is that they are skeptical about the promises made by foreigners, and they have to shave their braids.

If He Jinzhao surrounded them here and waved his arms, telling them that surrender could be guaranteed, most of the Ming army would choose to surrender.

Because they have heard about the military and civilian affairs of Shanxi more than once, after all, they have all stayed on the border of Shanxi.

But when the Qing army spoke at this time, many Ming soldiers did not show it even though they were muttering in their hearts.

Lu Xiangsheng told the Qing army that they were lying. The Qing dogs retreated a few years ago, and they killed all the civilian and military generals who surrendered to them.

What value can you group of big soldiers have in their eyes?
Lu Xiangsheng led the Ming army to meet the Qing army hand in hand.

But there is no rotation, no rest, no backup, and even no food.

In front of the flanking attack of the Qing army, the soldiers of the Ming army suffered heavy losses as soon as they took part in the battle.

Many people were rushed to the ground by the Qing army and chopped down with a knife.

How much strength do some Ming soldiers even have to hack?
Hu Dawei grabbed Lu Xiangsheng's horse and said eagerly: "Master, let's break through quickly, otherwise we will surely die."

Lu Xiangsheng said loudly: "If I don't die on the battlefield, is it possible that I will die in the West Market?"

Hu Dawei was speechless.

"You and Yang Guozhu led troops to break through the siege, don't pretend to be a son and daughter here."

After Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, he directly grabbed the rein from Hu Dawei's hand, and rushed towards the Qing army with his confidants.

Abata naturally observed that on the battlefield, there was a general of the Ming army, holding a Guan knife, fighting hard.

The rest fled separately.

Abate did not stop the deserters too much, and these people would intensify the Ming army's fear of the Qing Dynasty.

If they can break out, they are lucky. If they can't break out, they are not even worth being used. They should die here because they have no ability.

Abatai had also received the baptism of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so he had a good impression of the man holding the Guan knife, and ordered to recruit that Ming army general again.

They have already become Daming's abandoned sons, so what's the use of struggling?

Emperor Ming will not remember your kindness either.

But Lu Xiangsheng became more and more courageous as he fought more and more, leaping directly into the Qing army formation, and even came towards Abatai's general flag, threatening to kill him.

Even though it was Abatai who wanted to surrender, but seeing that the general of the Ming army not only bowed down, he wanted to kill himself.

The clay figurine was still angry, so Abate gave the order to attack.

Lu Xiangsheng raised his knife and hacked down the surrounding Qing troops. He had put his life and death aside, and any Qing troops who stood in his way would be hacked to death.

It has to be said that Lu Xiangsheng's natural supernatural power did play a role at this time.

But the situation on the battlefield is not like a novel, there is always someone who can turn the tide.

There are such fierce people, but they are not common at all, otherwise they would not be famous in history.

Lu Xiangsheng no longer has any trusted servants to accompany him.

They all died on the way to charge him.

Lu Xiangsheng was the first to be shot by an arrow in his left breast, and then he pulled it out, and slashed at the Qing army who took the opportunity to attack him.

The result is more arrows.

There is no one to cover him now.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiangsheng was shot with an arrow in his lower back, left and right thighs.

The horses were also shot down.

Lu Xiangsheng rolled in pain, bit his lip, forced himself to support his body with the knife, and wanted to fight again.

He had killed dozens of Qing troops by himself just now.

"Master, be careful."

Yang Lukai, the head shepherd lying on the ground in the chaos, yelled out in shock.

But the arrow injury to his left breast made him move slowly.

If Lu Xiangsheng had just cut off the arrow without pulling it out, he would still be able to survive for a while.

But as he fell off his horse, the Qing army swarmed up.

Lu Xiangsheng was slashed on the left brain, his abdomen, and his face.

After all, four arrows and three swords killed him.

Lu Xiangsheng fell heavily to the ground.

The Qing army dispersed, each committing suicide to the rest of the Ming army.

The head shepherd, Yang Lukai, witnessed Lu Xiangsheng's death in battle, with tears in his eyes, fearing that the body of the supervisor would be trampled to death by the cavalry of the Qing army.

He gritted his teeth and rushed directly to Lu Xiangsheng's body, shouting to cheer himself up, even though he was hit by an arrow in the back, he didn't dare to stop.

When he threw himself on Lu Xiangsheng's body, his back had been shot into a hedgehog, 24 arrows hung on his back, his head was tilted and he died.

Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu deserved to be warriors on the battlefield. They led their confidants and servants to break out of the encirclement of the Qing army and left directly.

If Lu Xiangsheng could go with them, he could also escape.

In this battle, Lu Xiangsheng's troops were all killed, and only a few escaped by chance.

When Gao Qiqian got the news of Lu Xiangsheng's defeat and death, he didn't dare to fight the Qing army, so he ordered to flee without hesitation.

Originally, the army should have fled westward, at least the hammer bandits would not take the initiative to leave the Shanxi border.

But in a hurry, he ran to the east for twenty miles, and was ambushed by the Qing army all at once.

Even the more elite Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, led by such a person, could not exert a single point of combat power.

On the second day after Lu Xiangsheng was killed in action, the news has not yet come.

Chongzhen still publicly reprimanded Lu Xiangsheng for being unclear about the detective, incapable of dispatching, sitting and watching the fall of the towns, and taking no rescue actions.

He just made bold remarks in front of everyone, and now it seems that he is a person who is trying to gain fame.

As a result, many states and counties in the Ming Dynasty were all broken by the Qing army.

When things got to this point, Lu Xiangsheng was solely responsible for it!
Chongzhen had long planned to change his coach, but Yang Sichang's persuasion held him back.

As the Qing army ravaged the surrounding area of ​​the capital, he couldn't sit still anymore.

At present, he said this to prepare for the withdrawal of Lu Xiangsheng, and then signaled the people below to quickly make this suggestion, so I agree.

Yang Sichang received the news of Lu Xiangsheng's death in battle, but did not tell the truth at this time.

On the contrary, he was thinking in his heart to weave evidence and slander Lu Xiangsheng's accusation of stagnation, cowardice and not fighting.

This is to warn those officials who want to approach Lu Xiangsheng.

Yang Sichang didn't want to help the Qing army, but to firmly implement his strategy of "to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside".

Whoever dares to stop the court will have to pay the price. You can only choose and the only choice is to listen to me.

This kind of operation similar to Yang Sichang's is not new at all. It became more obvious when the Qing army entered the customs and the Nanming was established.

Regardless of foreign enemies for the time being, the DPRK and China can only have one voice and one strategy, and that must be the strategy I am talking about.

Whoever dares to stop, would rather leave the foreign enemy alone, and kill you first!
