Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 10 Knowing that you can't do it

Yebu received the reports one after another, and after summarizing them, Lu Xiangsheng found that the Manchu Qing army, relying on its strength, was divided into ten groups, ready to start attacking the city again.

Hearing these news, Lu Xiangsheng frowned tightly, staring at the military map, thinking about something.

Yang Lukai, the shepherd at the side, saw that he hadn't moved, so he opened his mouth first and said: "My lord, since the Jianlu army is divided into ten groups, it just spreads the strength of the army. Our army has fewer soldiers, which just reduces the pressure. In this way, we can annihilate them Along the way, the chances of winning are much greater!"

However, when Lu Xiangsheng heard what he said, he still frowned, turned his head to look at him, shook his head and said, "Let me ask you, if you are Dorgon who built the prisoner, you know that I am the leader of the Ming army?" If it is nearby, will you divide your troops into ten groups?"

Hearing this, Yang Lukai couldn't help being taken aback.Didn't the report not be accepted at night, and the Manchu Qing army has already divided into ten groups?Under the command of your lord, Ye Bushou would not dare to lie about the military situation!
Seeing him in a daze, Lu Xiangsheng wanted to support the people around him, so he explained to him: "A war is dangerous, and it is impossible to be [-]% sure of winning any war. Dorgon is also a battle-tested man, so it is naturally impossible for him to make a mistake." This mistake. In my opinion, although the situation of dividing troops into ten groups is true, it is a strategy to lure the enemy. He wants to lure our army to pursue with confidence, and then encircle and annihilate our army, so as to reduce worries. At that time, Dorgon It is possible to divide the troops into ten groups again!"

Although the Manchu Qing army did divide its troops into ten groups when it first entered the pass, but at that time, the Ming army had not had time to react, and the division of troops into ten groups could disrupt the capital as quickly as possible. question.

But now, the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, including Lu Xiangsheng's troops and Guan Ning's army, have followed and pursued the Manchu Qing army, and more King Qin's troops will surely arrive one after another.It would be extremely stupid if the Manchu Qing army divided its troops into ten groups, took the initiative to dilute its forces, and wanted to reproduce the battle of Sarhu.

After Lu Xiangsheng's explanation, Yang Lukai figured out the truth, and he couldn't help being a little startled and admiringly replied: "If it wasn't for my lord's insight, I might have fallen into Jianlu's tricks!"

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng was not at all complacent. Instead, he sighed and said, "Our army is too small, otherwise we will resort to tactics. With lightning speed, we must concentrate our superior forces and annihilate one or two of the Jianlu troops before encircling them." If you eat the bait of Jianlu, then you will not be afraid. In this way, our army's morale is high, and we are fighting in the pass again. Jianlu will not dare to fight me to the death again, and must think of leaving the pass as soon as possible. When the time comes, we will The army will follow, maybe they can see the opportunity and give another blow."

Yang Lukai's eyes brightened when he heard that, this is a good strategy to defeat the Manchu Qing army that invaded the pass!But he also immediately thought of the reality. The army that dared to fight under the adults only had more than 5000 cavalry.With such a small force, it is basically impossible to quickly eat up all the troops of the Manchu Qing army.What's more, these [-] cavalry troops are already exhausted, and they have run out of food.The key to victory, in fact, is to take advantage of the time difference before the Manchu and Qing troops encircle.

In this way, there is clearly a chance to win the war, but there is no way because of insufficient troops.Thinking of this, Yang Lukai couldn't help but feel very disappointed, it's obvious that a smart woman can't cook without rice!If your lord can really command the soldiers and horses of the world, without Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang making troubles, why not defeat the Manchu troops who invaded the pass!

Thinking of this, he suddenly gave a high-five, and said in a hateful voice: "It's all the treacherous ministers in the court who deprived you of your military strength, damn it, damn it, damn it!"

Although Lu Xiangsheng proposed the division of troops at the beginning, in fact he had to do it as a last resort.Because of his command, he was constrained by the director Gao Qiqian everywhere, and he couldn't command and fight normally at all, so he proposed to divide the troops on his own initiative.This point, as the head priest next to Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Lukai is naturally clear.

However, the things that pig teammates are holding back are not over yet.Gao Qiqian took advantage of Lu Xiangsheng again, not only the Guanning Army refused to give it, but even the Tianxiong Army was transferred there.Lu Xiangsheng had only 2 soldiers from Datong, Xuanfu, and Shanxi under his command.As a result, on the way, Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong, found an excuse to lead the army to run away, and some soldiers knew that there were too many people along the way, so they collapsed. Now there are only more than 5000 people left.

After hearing Yang Lukai's words, Lu Xiangsheng did not reprimand him, but frowned and looked at the map again, suddenly a trace of determination appeared on his face, he patted the map on the table, pointed with his finger, and said loudly: "Command , the whole army set out to chase this way!"

When Yang Lukai heard this, he was immediately taken aback.Your Excellency has already analyzed it thoroughly. This is a trap set by the Manchu army, but why did you order the entire army to move out and jump into the trap?You know, it is simply impossible for five thousand exhausted troops to eat up about ten thousand Manchu troops with high morale in a short period of time!

"My lord, this... this..." He wanted to say that this order was inappropriate, but he couldn't deny Lu Xiangsheng's decision face to face, so he couldn't help stammering.

Lu Xiangsheng naturally heard what he wanted to say, and explained with a firm face: "The state affairs are like this, and only when you know what you can't do and do it resolutely, and move forward bravely, can there be a glimmer of hope!"

When Yang Lukai heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.Damn it, since this is the case and your lord has already made up his mind, let's fight!

Lu Xiangsheng looked at him, suddenly feeling guilty.Knowing that it can't be done, this is actually betting the lives of the soldiers on a goal that is basically impossible to achieve.This battle is extremely dangerous, there are basically ten deaths and no lives, and I don't know how many soldiers can survive!

Thinking of this, he suddenly added a military order: "This battle is dangerous, and I will never retreat. However, just in case, the military clerk should collect the letters from the soldiers' families as soon as possible. After an hour, the whole army will be dispatched. mistaken!"

"Obey!" Yang Lukai naturally knew that this was actually a suicide note, but he didn't hesitate, and immediately accepted the order loudly, and went out to deliver the order.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiangsheng also went back to the case, and began to foreshadow and write a family letter (suicide note).

"...Brother has realized the danger of this battle. However, the country's affairs are difficult, and the captives are rampant, and the bandits will surely return. As an official of the court, I have received the emperor's kindness and pity the suffering of the people in the world. I can only go all out. , to repay the favor of the king, and to caress the people. Life is what I want, and righteousness is also what I want. You can’t have both, but give up life for righteousness! Family matters, I entrust my brother, brother must write..."

Some things, he did not write in the letter.In this battle, although he knew very well in his heart that the probability of winning was too small, he still wanted to fight.The purpose is not to win the Manchu Qing army, but to hurt the Manchu Qing army. In this way, even if the emperor really wants to negotiate peace with the Manchu Qing in the future, and implement the policy of fighting against the outside world, he must first settle the inside, how much will it be? You can also have some confidence to negotiate a peace.Let Man Qing know that if he dares to make excessive demands on peace talks, the Ming army also has an army that dares to fight and an army that is fearless, and it must be a deadly situation!

An hour later, Lu Xiangsheng gathered the letters together and asked the disabled soldiers to be kept in Julu Jiazhuang with the military ranks, and then he himself led the army out.

However, he did not chase very far, and encountered the Manchu Qing army near the Haoshui Bridge in Julu.
