The Ottoman army outside Lahore couldn't even think about causing chaos.
Some people want to withdraw, but some people are determined not to withdraw. The main reason is that they can't figure out the situation of the Ming army?
The army that had been encircling and suppressing the Ming army was suddenly attacked by the Ming reinforcements. Some of those who escaped said that there were many reinforcements from the country, but some were not sure.
Only one thing is certain, reinforcements from the Ming army did arrive. Their plan to encircle and suppress the Ming army in the rear was impossible to realize, so they all retreated to Lahore.
However, after returning to base camp, their differences became greater.
Some generals of the Ottoman Empire believed that if reinforcements came from the Ming Dynasty, it must mean that the Northern Route Army failed. Even the Northern Route Army was defeated, so one can imagine the strength of the Ming Army. If we don't withdraw early, the consequences will be unpredictable.
However, most of the generals of the Ottoman Empire did not think so, and did not think about it. The Northern Route Army was personally led by the Prime Minister, and its strength was much greater than that of Lahore. It was the main force of the Ottoman Empire's army. How could the Ming army destroy the army commanded by the Prime Minister?
Even if we take a step back, if the Prime Minister loses, then at least there will be news, right? No matter what, it is impossible to annihilate the entire army of at least 150,000 people, and no one can escape!
It was based on this understanding that Lahore became the Ottoman Empire military camp, which was in a mess, but in the end they did not break out of the camp immediately.
Another reason is that they had been surrounding Lahore for so long, but finally left in such despair. Many people were unwilling to accept it.
About four days later, at noon, Wu Sangui, just like the previous few days, took advantage of the best view to observe the activities in the enemy camp outside the city from the top of the city.
As he looked at it, suddenly, someone yelled in Wu Sangui's ear. The voice was so loud that it almost startled him: "Commander, look quickly, look quickly..."
At this time, Wu Sangui was observing the enemy camp. When he heard the roar, he put down his telescope with a little dissatisfaction, turned to look at the guards beside him and shouted: "Calm, do you know Calm? What do I usually teach you?"
There is nothing worth making a fuss about, my ears were almost deafened by him just now!
While he was thinking, he saw the guard in front of him pointing his finger outside the city, still shouting in a fuss: "Commander, look, the dust is flying, it looks like reinforcements, it's reinforcements!"
At this time, Wu Sangui was very sensitive to the word reinforcements. Upon hearing this, I was stunned for a moment. Almost at the same time, other guards around me also shouted: "Reinforcements, reinforcements are coming..."
Wu Sangui could no longer care about anything else and immediately turned around to look.
Sure enough, in the northwest direction, dust was flying, and in the far distance, there was faint movement, and it looked like there was a red line.
Is it really reinforcements? Wu Sangui thought to himself, immediately raised the telescope and looked in that direction.
With the help of this telescope, I can see a little more clearly. You can vaguely see the red line, it's really the cavalry, wearing red.
Needless to say, this is definitely the Ming Army, the Ming Cavalry Army!
After understanding this, Wu Sangui widened his eyes, trying to see clearly how many reinforcements had come? Although he kept talking about Li Laiheng's department. But at this moment, deep in his heart, what he wanted to see more was other reinforcements!
At this time, he had automatically blocked out the noise of the soldiers around him, and his entire mind had been devoted to confirming the numbers of reinforcements in the distance.
Closer, closer, closer...
The vague shadow gradually turned into the outline of the cavalry, and then became a little clearer.
But it was too far away, and it was really difficult to distinguish which reinforcements were coming from. But this did not prevent Wu Sangui from running out of ideas and wanting to confirm it as quickly as possible.
As he watched, Wu Sangui suddenly murmured excitedly: "Yes, yes, it's definitely not them, it must be the newly arrived reinforcements..."
"Commander, how are you? Where did the reinforcements come from?" When his personal guard heard this, he immediately asked excitedly.
After hearing this, the other soldiers gathered around unconsciously, wanting to hear immediately which reinforcements were coming?
Hearing the words, Wu Sangui forgot about what he just said about his personal guards being calm. He put down his telescope, pointed excitedly into the distance and said loudly: "Look, do you see it? The number is definitely more than five thousand! It can be seen from this that, It’s definitely not Li Laiheng and the others, there are new reinforcements arriving!”
At this point, without waiting for anyone else to respond, he excitedly muttered to himself: "Yes, yes, it's all right now. Look at them, why did they come back in such a mess before? It’s just because they suffered a defeat that they are like this. Now, it’s all right! That’s right, new reinforcements must have arrived!”
Being besieged in a foreign country and holding on in an isolated city, I was really more excited about the appearance of reinforcements than when I was at home.
At this time, no one laughed at Wu Sangui for being unsteady. They all pointed to the northwest and spoke happily.
"The commander is right, those must be new reinforcements! There are so many, you can't even see the tail!"
"Yes, Governor Hong must have led the troops south, otherwise where would the reinforcements be?"
"Really, I won't lie to you, my eyes are very bright, I saw the banner of the Governor!"
"What are you talking about? I've even seen the Governor's beard. It's really the Governor who's here!"
"..."
When they said this, Wu Sangui calmed down. Anyway, he didn't believe them when they said they saw Hong Chengchou, it was too far away. But what is certain is that the reinforcements coming are huge.
At this time, he immediately went to see what was happening at the Ottoman Empire military camp. Sure enough, it was even more chaotic.
In the distance, the scouting horses of the Ottoman Empire were racing back frantically, and everyone in the military camp was gathering, but like headless flies, they hadn't finished gathering for a long time.
"Come on, let me blow the trumpets and beat the drums to strengthen my Ming Dynasty!" Wu Sangui suddenly turned his head and shouted to his bodyguards.
Upon hearing this, his bodyguard immediately responded excitedly: "Yes!"
Then he went to deliver the order, and within a short time, the sound of horns and the thundering of war drums rang out above the city of Lahore. The commotion was so loud that it frightened the Ottoman army into even more chaos.
In the city of Lahore, the soldiers in other directions and in the city did not see the situation outside the city, but the movement at the top of the city was so loud that it was immediately spread to them.
When he heard that reinforcements were coming, it was the Governor who personally led the army and came. Suddenly, thunderous cheers erupted in the city. If it weren't for military discipline, they might have gathered on top of the city to see what was going on.
As time passed, reinforcements in the distance became clearer. After getting closer to the Ottoman Empire military camp, it was no longer in a marching formation, but spread out to both sides. In this way, the number of troops becomes more intuitive.
"This must be more than 10,000, and they are all cavalry, which is amazing!"
"I think there are twenty thousand. Believe it or not, we bet that they are all cavalry!"
"..."
Wu Sangui did not participate in their discussion, but continued to use his binoculars to observe the reinforcements slowly approaching the enemy camp outside the city. Looking at it, he was suddenly dumbfounded.
I put down the telescope, rubbed my eyes vigorously, and then immediately raised the telescope and started looking again.
Noticing that his movements were a bit strange, one of the guards asked happily: "Commander, what did you see? You look so unbelievable?"
"The commander-in-chief has seen the governor's white beard and is counting how many there are. Of course you have to open your eyes to see it!" Another guard also joked excitedly.
When he was in a desperate situation and almost despairing, suddenly it turned into a feeling of great joy after surviving the desperate situation, which also diluted a little of the gap in levels.
Wu Sangui didn't listen to this joke at all, but suddenly, he immediately put down the telescope, pointed into the distance with his hand, and shouted loudly in a tone of surprise: "The emperor's flag, it's the emperor's flag, the emperor is coming Come on, the emperor is here..."
The guards around him were all shocked when they heard this, so that for a moment, the place that was noisy just now became silent!
The emperor is here? Isn't the emperor in the country? Why did he come here?
When they came to their senses, the guard closest to Wu Sangui quickly said to him: "Commander, can my subordinates take a look? I have sharp eyes!"
When he said this, the other guards also came to their senses. Suddenly, they all boasted about how powerful their eyes were, thinking that they could borrow the telescope to see the situation immediately.
"Commander, I also have sharp eyes, I can definitely see clearly!"
"Commander, I am presbyopic and specialize in seeing far away. It is absolutely right for me to look first!"
"..."
Wu Sangui ignored the others, handed the binoculars to the first person to speak, and pointed in the direction to ask him to confirm quickly.
"That's right, that's right. It's the Emperor. The Emperor is here!" The guard looked at it carefully and shouted excitedly. After shouting, I felt like I was about to cry.
The other guards couldn't care less and hurriedly scrambled for the telescope, looking over one by one.
It didn't take long for the soldiers on the city to confirm that it was their emperor who personally led the army to come to the rescue.
Now that the emperor has arrived, these Ottoman troops are just a bunch of chickens and dogs! In this regard, all soldiers have absolute confidence.
At this time, the top of the city of Lahore was clearly visible. The emperor personally led the army. Not to mention the cavalry, there were at least 40,000 to 50,000 troops!
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
"Long live my emperor!"
"..."
In the city of Lahore, there was an overwhelming cheer.
While they were watching, the soldier holding the telescope suddenly handed the telescope to Wu Sangui and reminded at the same time: "Commander, the emperor has a flag over there!"
"The Emperor has a decree! Give it to me quickly!" After hearing this, Wu Sangui immediately said, taking back his telescope and looking at it carefully.
