Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 26 Cover and Breakout

A large number of scouts from the Manchu Qing army were sent to the south overnight to detect further news about the Jize Ming army.Regarding this, Lu Xiangsheng, who was inside the encirclement, knew nothing about it.

Although the raid at night killed many Tartars again, it also reduced his men a lot.

Beside the fire, Lu Xiangsheng's body was already stained red with blood, but he didn't care about it, frowning tightly, and drew a defense map of the Qing army on the ground.

Beside him, Hu Dawei, who was also wearing dark red armor, looked at Lu Xiangsheng, hesitated for a moment and then whispered in a low voice: "Sir, you'd better break out of the encirclement at night, otherwise it will be difficult to break out at dawn. Already!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng hadn't answered yet, and Yang Guozhu, another commander-in-chief, also echoed: "Yes, my lord, we still have the power to fight now, and it shouldn't be too difficult for you to take the opportunity to break through under the cover of the two of us." .After dawn, the number of Manchu and Qing troops is increasing, and the hope of breaking through the siege is slim!"

Both of them were worried about Lu Xiangsheng and wanted Lu Xiangsheng to break out as soon as possible.

Lu Xiangsheng ignored the two of them, threw away the branch in his hand, and sighed: "It can be seen from the raid just now that the Manchu and Qing army mainly focuses on defense. No matter how we lure the enemy, they will attack steadily and want to take advantage of it." It seems impossible to create chaos in the dark of night!"

At this time, he finally admitted in his heart that the elite level of the Manchu Qing army was indeed higher than that of the Ming army.Those Tartar generals were also accustomed to fighting, and they were not reckless.

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng didn't answer, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei glanced at each other, and then Yang Guozhu persuaded: "My lord, in the battle just now, the pressure on the two of us was not great, and those Tartars were desperately besieging and killing your lord." It can be seen from this, my lord, you are the target of those Tartars, and they all know that you are the pillar of my great Ming!"

As a battle-tested general, he can naturally feel what the enemy's main attack direction is.Therefore, as soon as he left the battlefield, he could understand the key points of the Manchu army's operations after a short reflection.

"That's right, my lord, I'm a Mongolian. Among the officials of Ming Dynasty, I won't accept anyone, but you, my lord!" Hu Dawei also said, "Only you can treat us warriors as human beings! My lord, Daming can live without us, but not without you!"

This time, after Lu Xiangsheng looked up at the sky, he looked down at the two of them, with a wry smile on his face, shook his head and said: "The Ming Dynasty no longer needs me, even if I break out of the encirclement, it is better to die in humiliation." Be loyal to the country and die on the battlefield!"

Hearing this, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu looked at each other, and after a little thought, they understood why Lu Xiangsheng said that.The two of them couldn't help being very indignant.

"Son of a son of a bitch, a foolish king and traitor..." Hu Dawei's foul language burst out immediately, obviously out of anger, "Your Excellency is so desperate, but they want you to die..."

However, before he finished his words, Lu Xiangsheng looked serious and interrupted him sternly: "Shut up! How can you insult my father? If your words are heard by Yan Guan, how many lives will you lose?" It’s not even enough to chop!”

Speaking of this, seeing that Hu Dawei was still indignant, he softened his tone a little, and said to Hu Dawei: "The emperor has the emperor's difficulties. There are thieves everywhere in the country, and the Manchu army has entered the customs again and again. Looting. The state affairs have already been overwhelmed! If my Ming army is an elite army and can win the battle, then the emperor will never listen to Yang Ge's department. However, the reason why our Ming army cannot win the battle is not unexpected. Military pay, food, etc., alas..."

As soon as I said it, there were problems everywhere, and I couldn't go on.

I remembered that when I first came to Xuanda as the governor, I saw that the soldiers of the Ming border army had no food to eat, and even sold their sons and daughters.With such a situation of frontier soldiers, why are they required to kill the enemy and serve the country?Now this unbearable situation is like a mess, and there is no way to solve it. Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but sighed deeply, unable to continue talking.

Seeing this, Yang Guozhu had a different opinion and said: "When my lord was the governor of Xuanda, the general thought he did a good job. But when my lord was worried, everything returned to the original state. In the end, the situation is still like this. It's just that some people have been moved. I can’t do it anymore because of the interests of the emperor. Or speaking of it, if the emperor insists on reusing your lord, I, Da Ming, will definitely be saved! But now, the imperial court let Gao Qiqian, that dead eunuch, control your lord everywhere. Thousands of soldiers and horses, but the adults can only command such a small force to fight the Manchu army. Even if the adults have three heads and six arms, it is not enough!"

"Yes, we won the battle, but the imperial court couldn't see it." Hu Dawei heard this and said angrily, "The Manchu and Qing troops captured the city, and you have to bear the blame alone! What does this mean? Yes, we are bleeding and fighting in the front, and they are cutting off our food. What a bastard. Is it a lie that there is no daylight? This kind of court is really enough!"

He knew that Lu Xiangsheng would not let him speak ill of the emperor, so he replaced him with the imperial court.For the Ming Emperor, who had gone through so many things and worked hard to survive, he was a Mongolian, so he didn't have that much respect.

Lu Xiangsheng could feel the complaints of the two generals towards the court and their disappointment with the emperor.Hearing what they said, he couldn't help but sighed again in his heart.However, when he heard Yang Guozhu say that he had touched some people's interests, and then all of them returned to their original state after a while, he couldn't help but his heart moved, and his brows furrowed.

But then, Lu Xiangsheng thought of his current situation and couldn't help but shook his head slightly, so what if there was a problem?I have decided to die here and shed my last drop of blood for my country.

Thinking like this, he put aside the doubt he had just thought of, regained his energy, and said in a higher voice: "Stop talking about it, the state affairs are like this, is there any use in complaining? As officials of the Ming Dynasty, we , we should fulfill our duties and do what we should do well.”

Having said that, he stretched out his hand and patted the shoulders of these two powerful generals under him, and stared at them both.These two subordinates are all great generals, it would be a pity to let them accompany him to die here.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng sighed and said solemnly: "The target of the Manchu Tartars is not the two of you. I estimate that after dawn, the Manchu army will launch a general attack on our army. At that time, I will be attracted They, the two of you see that there is nothing to be done, so break out, save your useful body, serve the country, and give hope to this suffering world!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu became excited immediately, and said quickly: "My lord, there is no reason for the general to cover us. We have to wait for the reason to break through. If we want to break through, it is the lord who breaks through, and we cover!"

"Yes, sir, even if we fight to the death, we will cut off the queen for you!"

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng shook his head resolutely.In fact, he had already said that the target of the Tartars was him, and even if he broke through, Yang Sichang would definitely not let him go, and if he lost the battle, he could just use this to get rid of himself as a stumbling block.Rather than dying like that, it would be better to die in battle here.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say in his heart: "I have been blessed by the emperor's kindness. I have been on the rise since the fifth-rank magistrate. I bestowed Shang Fang with a sword and governor of the world. Now I have tried my best. Wearing a filial piety, I just serve the country with my death! In the future, I hope the emperor will do more After going through the events of the world, after more tempering, rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, and return the people of the Ming Dynasty to a brighter world, a Daming that is no longer war-torn!"

Although he was as disappointed as his two subordinates, he strictly abided by his duty as a minister without complaint or regret.

The sky is about to light up, and there is not much time left.Lu Xiangsheng was also resolute, made up his mind, and waited to make the final arrangement.

But at this moment, a soldier came in a hurry and told him, "My lord, there is movement from the Tartars!"
