Chapter 916 I Am Presbyopic

The Ottoman army outside Lahore can't think about it.

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 previously encircled and suppressed the Ming army was suddenly attacked by 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, the Ming army did have reinforcements, and their plan to encircle and suppress the Ming army in the back road was impossible to realize, so they all returned to Lahore.

However, after returning to the base camp, their differences became more serious.

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, nor did they think about it. The Northern Route Army was led by the Prime Minister himself, and its strength was much larger than that of Lahore. It was the main force of the Ottoman Empire army.How could the Ming army destroy the army commanded by the prime minister?
Even if we take a step back and talk about it, if the Prime Minister is defeated, at least there will be news back, right?No matter what, it is impossible to wipe out an army of at least 15, and none of them can escape!

Based on this understanding, Lahore became a messy Ottoman army camp, but in the end they did not leave 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, like the previous few days, took advantage of the best opportunity to observe the movement 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, come on, look on it, look on it..."

At this time, Wu Sangui was observing the enemy camp. Hearing the roar, he put down the binoculars with dissatisfaction in his heart, turned his head to look at the guards beside him and shouted: "Calm down, do you know Shen Shen? How does the commander usually teach you?"

There is nothing worth making a fuss about, my ears were almost deafened by him just now!

Just as he was thinking, he saw the guard in front of him pointing his finger outside the city, still shouting in such a fuss: "Commander, look, the dust is flying, it seems to be reinforcements, it is reinforcements!"

At this time, Wu Sangui was very sensitive to the word reinforcements.Hearing this, he was slightly stunned, and almost at the same time, the other guards around him also shouted: "Reinforcements, reinforcements are here..."

Wu Sangui couldn't care about anything else, and immediately turned his head 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 really is the cavalry, wearing red.

Needless to say, this is definitely the Ming army, the Ming cavalry!

After thinking about this, Wu Sangui widened his eyes, trying to see clearly, how many reinforcements have come?Although he kept talking about Li Laiheng's department.But at this moment, deep in his heart, what he hopes to see more is other reinforcements!

At this time, he had automatically blocked the noise of the soldiers around him, and his whole mind had been devoted to confirming the numbers of the reinforcements in the distance.

Closer, closer, closer...

The blurry 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 very difficult to distinguish which reinforcements it was.But this does not prevent Wu Sangui from exhausting his thoughts and wanting to confirm with the fastest speed.

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 even forgot what he said just now that his personal guards should be calm. He put down the binoculars, pointed to the distance excitedly and said loudly: "Look, do you see it? The number is definitely more than five thousand! It can be seen from this that, It must not be Li Laiheng and the others, and new reinforcements have arrived!"

Having said that, without waiting for others to respond, he excitedly said to himself again: "That's right, that's right, it's all right now. Look at them, why did they come back in a mess before? It’s because they suffered a defeat, that’s why they are like this. Now it’s all right, it’s all right! That’s right, there must be new reinforcements arriving!”

Being besieged in a foreign country and holding on to the isolated city, I am much more excited about the appearance of reinforcements than when I was in China.

At this time, no one laughed at Wu Sangui himself for being unsteady, they all pointed to the northwest direction, talking happily one by one.

"The commander-in-chief is right, it must be the new reinforcements! There are so many, you can't see the tail!"

"That's right, Governor Hong must have led the troops south, otherwise, where would the reinforcements come from?"

"Really, I won't lie to you, my eyes are very bright, I saw the banner of the Governor!"

"What are you? I can see the Governor's beard. It must be the Governor who has come!"

"..."

When they said this, Wu Sangui calmed down instead.Anyway, when they said they saw Hong Chengchou, he didn't believe it, it was too far away.But what is certain is that there will be a huge number of reinforcements.

At this time, he immediately went to see what was going on in the Ottoman army camp.Sure enough, it was even more chaotic.

In the distance, the scout horses of the Ottoman army were racing back frantically, and everyone in the barracks was gathering, but they were like headless chickens, and 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.

When his personal guard heard this, he immediately responded excitedly: "Obey!"

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 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 resounded 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, the reinforcements in the distance became clearer.After getting closer to the Ottoman army camp, it is no longer in a marching shape, but spread out to both sides.In this way, the number of troops is more intuitive at once.

"This must be more than [-], 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 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 action was a bit strange, a personal guard asked happily: "Marshal, what did you see, you look so unbelievable?"

"The Marshal 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 the gap in level a little.

Wu Sangui didn't listen to this joke at all, but suddenly, he immediately put down the binoculars, then pointed to the distance with his finger, and shouted loudly in that surprised tone: "The imperial flag, it's the imperial flag, the emperor is coming!" Yes, the emperor is here..."

When the guards around him heard it, they were all shocked, so that for a moment, the place that was noisy just now became completely silent!

The emperor is here?Isn't the emperor in the country, why did he come here?
When they came back to their senses, the guard closest to Wu Sangui quickly said to him: "Marshal, can my subordinates take a look? I have sharp eyes!"

When he said this, the other guards also came back to their senses, and all of them immediately praised how powerful their eyes were, thinking that they could use the binoculars to see the situation as soon as possible.

"Marshal, I have sharp eyes too, I'm sure I can see clearly!"

"Marshal, I'm presbyopic, I only look at the distance, it's absolutely right that I look first!"

"..."

Wu Sangui ignored the others, handed the binoculars to the first person who spoke, and pointed to the direction for 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, they hurriedly grabbed the binoculars and looked at them one by one.

Not long after, the soldiers on the top of the city confirmed that it was their emperor who personally led the army to come to the rescue.

Now that the emperor has come, these Ottoman troops are just a bunch of chickens and dogs!In this regard, all soldiers have absolute confidence.

At this time, the city of Lahore was clearly visible.The emperor personally led the army, not to mention all the cavalry, at least forty to fifty thousand!
"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"..."

In the city of Lahore, there was an overwhelming cheer.

While they were watching, the soldier holding the binoculars suddenly handed the binoculars to Wu Sangui, and at the same time reminded: "Marshal, the emperor has a banner!"

"The emperor has a decree! Give it to me quickly!" Wu Sangui said immediately after hearing this, took back his binoculars, and looked carefully.
