Without using his subordinates to report any more, Lu Xiangsheng looked up and saw fire dragons filing out of the Tatar camp in the distance, from four directions: southeast, northwest and northwest. At this time, the fire dragon that had left the camp had begun to unfold, as if it wanted to form a net and shrink inward.
"Sir, I'm afraid there are about 8,000 troops." Yang Guozhu was also watching at the same time and reminded him aloud.
Obviously, relying on their strong military strength, the Manchu Qing Dynasty allocated part of its troops and began to take the initiative to attack.
"It's a bit abnormal. Logically speaking, if the Tatars wait until dawn before taking action, they should be able to reduce a lot of casualties." Lu Xiangsheng was a little confused. He frowned and looked around at the movements of the Manchu and Qing troops. "No matter how you look at it, the Tatars seem to be It seems a bit impatient!”
After hearing this, Hu Dawei said without hesitation: "They must have been hurt by the few battles just now, so they want to eliminate us as soon as possible!"
"It seems that my last battle has arrived!" Lu Xiangsheng heard this and whispered. Then he turned to look at the two people around him and solemnly confessed again: "When the battle starts, if we can't repel the Tatars quickly, Son, the two of you will lead our troops to break out of the encirclement at the right time. Keep them until you can be useful. The court needs you, and the emperor needs you! Kill more Tatars and bandits for me!"
Hearing this, Hu Dawei's eyes suddenly turned red, and he raised his head and replied: "Sir, let's go together!"
"Yes, sir, the court needs you more, and the emperor will know sooner or later that you are the pillar of our Ming Dynasty!" Yang Guozhu also advised excitedly.
Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand and said without hesitation: "In this battle, the Tatars will not let me go. Even if I leave, I will have no chance to serve the country again. Rather than bear the stigma, it is better to die on the battlefield. I mean It’s decided, no need to persuade anymore!”
Hearing this, hatred appeared on the faces of Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu. They know that if there are no treacherous ministers in the court, and if the emperor believes in you, even if the Tatars want to keep you, they will still have a chance to break out with all their might. At least, both of them are willing to use the banner of the master to cover for the master's breakout.
Hate, really hate it! The treacherous officials in the court are in power, and the emperor is incompetent!
Even the personal guards who had been following Lu Xiangsheng were filled with anger.
A truly important official of the country, such as your Excellency, died not at the hands of the Tatars, but at the hands of a foolish king and treacherous ministers!
Only Lu Xiangsheng himself did not show any resentment. He just started to arrange the final battle with a serious face.
Although the Tatars were not very fast under the darkness of night, they were slowly closing in. Time was running out.
After Lu Xiangsheng finished the arrangement, he looked at the densely packed blurry figures in front of him. He suddenly bowed and then said: "I am so lucky to have you as my comrades! In today's battle, I have received the emperor's favor, and I will fight to the death! If you all You can't do anything, you can leave or surrender!"
Hungry, he fought bloody battles with the Tatars. The soldiers in front of me are all top-notch men! Lu Xiangsheng didn't want them all to follow him and die in battle. This final battle was about to begin, so he couldn't help but leave a message in advance, which could be regarded as a battle between colleagues.
However, about three thousand soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill the captives, kill the captives..."
They did not choose to leave or surrender, but wanted to kill the prisoners!
Obviously, they want to live together with Lu Xiangsheng, and they want to die together!
Facing such a group of soldiers, Lu Xiangsheng suppressed the excitement in his heart, stopped trying to persuade him, and shouted: "Okay, we will kill the prisoners!"
After finishing speaking, when he was about to give the order to start taking action, suddenly there was movement, and figures were stumbling around. Before the people arrived, a surprising voice came: "My lord, my lord, Mr. Yu... Mr. Yu..." coming……"
Lu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, wondering who Mr. Yu was? It seems that none of his subordinates have the surname of Yu?
Thinking this, he couldn't help but look towards where the sound came from. Not only him, but other soldiers also heard the sound and looked over.
They could all hear the surprise in the voice just now, and they were all a little curious: In this desperate situation, what is there that is worthy of surprise?
Soon, after seven or eight figures approached, only one figure was seen taking a few steps ahead of the others. As he walked, he said loudly: "Sir, my subordinate is Yu Zhenlong. I have an urgent military report..."
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he immediately remembered who Yu Zhenlong was. He couldn't help being surprised and asked quickly: "Is it Mr. Yu? Aren't you under Director Gao? Why are you here?"
The general flag of Tianxiong Army is not collected at night, and he is somewhat famous among Lu Xiangsheng's subordinates. The other soldiers couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this. Because they all know that the Tianxiong Army was transferred away by Gao Qiqian before, why did Mr. Yu appear here? And he was still wearing Manchu military uniforms. Did he sneak in with this or had he surrendered to the Manchus?
While he was talking, Yu Zhenlong had already come closer, and by the light of the torch, he could already see his face clearly. However, Lu Xiangsheng's personal guard stopped him and asked the doubts in everyone's mind.
"Only by wearing this Tatar skin can you sneak in and find the adults!" Yu Zhenlong quickly explained after hearing this.
The guard wanted to ask again, but Lu Xiangsheng stopped him with a wave of his hand, and said with a little joy: "Needless to say, it is impossible for Mr. Yu to surrender to the Tatars. I know this very well!"
Lu Xiangsheng knew everyone in the Tianxiong Army. He also understood this Yu Zhenlong. Therefore, there is such a saying.
While they were talking, several more people came over, also wearing Tartar skins. No introduction is needed. Lu Xiangsheng also recognizes them all. They are all Ye Bushou in the Tianxiong army. It's still possible for one of them to surrender, but it's impossible for them all to surrender! These people are all soldiers he brought out with his own hands!
Likewise, he felt a little strange, why would they risk their lives to sneak into the encirclement to find him?
At this time, Yu Zhenlong listened to Lu Xiangsheng's words and immediately felt that it was worth risking his life to sneak in to find Lu Xiangsheng!
So, without saying any words of gratitude, he quickly reported to Lu Xiangsheng with clasped fists: "The emperor has issued a decree that your Excellency will be reinstated to his original position. He will still be the Minister of the Ministry of War, governor of the world's troops, and command of all military forces..."
"What? What did you say?" Yang Guozhu, who was behind Lu Xiangsheng, became excited when he heard the news before Yu Zhenlong finished speaking. In his excitement, he even forgot that Lu Xiangsheng had not answered yet. He took a few steps quickly, passed Lu Xiangsheng, and approached. Yu Zhenlong asked with a look of disbelief on his face, "Say it again!"
This news is really surprising! For a moment, many people suspected that they had heard wrongly! Even Lu Xiangsheng thought he had heard wrongly.
You must know that Yang Sichang is present in the court and Gao Qiqian is cooperating in the army. Various signs show that the emperor has decided to negotiate peace, which is why Lu Xiangsheng's side is in such a desperate situation. Now Yu Zhenlong told them that Lu Xiang was promoted and reinstated, and he still wanted to lead the world's troops. This is too unreasonable!
If Lu Xiangsheng hadn't believed them, the first thought of an ordinary person would probably be that these people surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and were telling lies to deceive this side. But it was also the case. Lu Xiangsheng suddenly remembered the abnormality of the Manchu Tatars just now, and suddenly he felt that it must be related to this news.
Yu Zhenlong seemed to know what they were thinking, so he immediately repeated it loudly and further explained: "The emperor first issued an imperial edict, and then issued four gold medals in a row, saying that if something happens to you, Director Gao will pay for your life, and he also said All other generals who fail to rescue will be punished!"
Seeing that the people in front of him seemed to be in disbelief, even Lu Xiangsheng was the same, Yu Zhenlong explained again: "The emperor already knew that peace negotiation was not feasible, and refuted Yang Gebu's policy of calming down the internal affairs before resisting foreign aggression, which made Yanggebu speechless. Speechless and convinced, the court has now reached a consensus!"
After hearing the news about the Tatars' horse hunting captives and knowing that Lu Xiangsheng was in danger, Yang Tinglin suggested that Yu Zhenlong come forward and bring authoritative information to sneak in and contact Lu Xiangsheng to gain more hope of rescuing Lu Xiangsheng.
