Seeing that all the generals agreed to continue the decisive battle with the Tatars, Lu Xiangsheng was relieved. He raised a thick bowl and drank several large bowls of tea with the generals instead of wine.*1*1*
However, although it has been decided to continue to seek fighters in Hebei, there are still some things that need to be done. For example, the officers and soldiers of Xuanda have been hungry and full these days, and their health is not very good.
The armor must also be repaired as soon as possible, and some disrupted establishments must be reorganized as soon as possible, etc.
In this way, it took three days for Lu Xiangsheng to be the leader of the generals before he managed to deal with his troops. When Pang Gang asked where Lu Xiangsheng was going, Lu Xiangsheng popped out a place name from his mouth, "Julu"...
..
The dark night enveloped the entire land quietly, and Baoding City immediately became silent.
In a seemingly inconspicuous small courtyard of the Baoding Governor's Yamen, a small room was lit with faint lights. Baoding Governor Zhang Qiping was sitting behind the case, his eyes fixed on the man in brown standing in front of the case.
A middle-aged man dressed in short clothes and with a white face and no beard.
"Eunuch Sun, please go back and report to Eunuch Gao. Lu Xiangsheng has already received the support of food and grass. It is no longer useful for us to strangle him by the neck like this. It is better to let go. Otherwise, if there is a deep hatred in the future, there will be no possibility of resolving it.
.”
Eunuch Sun sneered: "Governor Zhang, do you think you didn't offend Lu Xiangsheng a few days ago? Let me tell you the truth, Eunuch Gao is now camping less than fifty miles away from Baoding. Lu Xiangsheng will not apologize to Eunuch Gao.
Forget it, I still want to have a decisive battle with the Qing soldiers. Are the Qing soldiers so easy to fight? Isn’t it the emperor’s family wealth that is consumed by fighting? If it is all gone, what can the emperor do to quell the rogue bandits? So,
, we can't tolerate that reckless man, we have to treat him well.{http:

Zhang Qiping frowned and said: "Then what Eunuch Yisun means..."
Eunuch Sun said without hesitation: "Continue to suppress him and close the four doors tightly. He will not be able to get a grain of food or a little help in Baoding. Can you do it?"
"This is okay, but..."
"That's right, but Lu Xiangsheng, an unrepentant and reckless man, must be restrained, otherwise he will jump to the sky."
"Well, I will order the four doors to be closed tomorrow. No one is allowed to come in or out." Although Zhang Qiping was very dissatisfied with Eunuch Sun who was holding chicken feathers as arrows, after all, there was a man standing behind him.
He did not dare to offend Yang Sichang too much, so he reluctantly agreed...
"Captain Lu. The four gates of Baoding City are still closed now. They won't let our people enter the city to buy things. What should we do?" In the Chinese army's tent, a quartermaster asked Lu Xiangsheng in a dilemma.
Although the army's food and grass problem has been solved with the arrival of Pang Gang, there is still some work to be done. For example, the disposal of the wounded, medicines and some scattered items also need to be purchased, which can only be purchased after entering Baoding. After all, Baoding is a big city.
, at this time these things can only be purchased in Baoding.
Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a while and said: "Don't pay attention to it. Since Zhang Qiping doesn't want us to enter the city, we won't go in. Let's head towards Julu first."
"Yes. Let's go!"
Following Lu Xiangsheng's order, tens of thousands of troops who had been recuperating for several days immediately set up camp and drove toward the south...
Came to the city on May 20, the 10th year of Chongzhen
Lincheng is close to Shanxi and has not been plundered by the Qing soldiers a few days ago, but these days the footprints of the Qing soldiers have begun to reach this place.
The summer of May was supposed to be beautiful, but at first glance, it was a scene of decay. There were abandoned villages and ruins everywhere. Occasionally, there were one or two wild dogs that were hungry and skinny.
Where did the bones come from and ran across the road?
The rumble of horse hooves sounded in the distance, and a group of knights galloped past from the east. Looking at their uniforms, they looked like the Ming army.
The leader of the team, Ye Busuo, has a resolute look on his face, but he is carrying a long Mini rifle on his back. Ye Busuo is a very mobile team, so Ye Busuo
Weapons also have their own special requirements, such as ease of carrying, high power, etc. Although the Mini rifle is powerful, due to its length of more than one meter and the inconvenience of loading ammunition on horseback, the cavalry
We don't really like to carry it on the battlefield. But this man who never stops carrying it on the battlefield is carrying this rifle that only infantry can carry. It seems that this man must be a person who likes to play with firearms.
This team of Ye Bu Sui quickly stopped. The leader, Ye Bu Sui, was about 27 or 28 years old. He always had a faint smile on his face and looked like a harmless big boy.
But only the brothers around him know that he is just a poisonous snake who likes to shoot cold shots in the dark.
This Ye Bu Shui's name is Lu Ming, and he is also the only one in the team who can provide long-range cover for his teammates. His marksmanship is also famous in the Ye Bu Shui team. Within a distance of two hundred steps, he can
If you hit your left eye, you will never hit your right eye. In the words of later generations, you are a sniper.
Lu Ming reined in the horse's reins and gasped, saying to a middle-aged man with a rough face in the middle: "King Tou, the Tatars are getting closer and closer. If we continue to run like this, the horse will not be able to bear it.
If none of us can escape, we might as well stop here and kill them."
After hearing Lu Ming's words, the king in the middle hesitated for a while and asked: "There are more than 20 Tatars, and there are only five of us. It is too dangerous."
Lu Ming patted his favorite rifle in his hand, "Don't be afraid, I can hide in the distance and blow their heads off with my rifle, as long as you and your brothers hold them back."
"Okay, let's just kill him. Anyway, running away like this will lead to death!" Several Ye Busuo looked at each other and agreed.
These Ye Bushou were under Pang Gang's command. They had just discovered traces of the Qing soldiers more than 70 miles ahead, but they were discovered by the Qing soldiers. After losing two brothers and the remaining horses, they ran away
After a long time, I found that I couldn't get rid of the pursuers behind me, so I couldn't help but stop and fight to the death.
After several people dismounted, Lu Ming still rode his horse and ran forward for nearly a hundred steps before he stopped and got into a hidden place.
After seeing Lu Ming hiding, Wang Tou also took out a few thunderbolts from the bag hanging on the saddle and distributed them to everyone one by one and said: "Okay, I won't say any more. Anyway,
Just one sentence, if the war is not going well, everyone will end it on their own, and they will never fall into the hands of the Tatars. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
Everyone agreed in unison, their voices unusually firm! (To be continued...)
