"Du Xun, you deceive people too much."

Even if Lu Xiangsheng's temper is good, in order to take care of the overall situation, he will endure it again and again, and at this time, he can't bear it anymore.

In the face of the confrontation between Lu Xiangsheng and Du Xun, the other Ming generals around did not dare to interfere.

These Ming army generals don't know how powerful Du Xun is, if they offend Du Xun at this time, when the Tartars are gone, they will suffer.

And Lu Xiangsheng didn't dare to offend, after all, Lu Xiangsheng was their top boss.

Woooooo

At this time, outside Lu Xiangsheng's tent, a dull horn suddenly sounded, breaking the deadlock between Du Xun and Lu Xiangsheng at this time.

"Report, marshal, no, the Tartar army is out of the camp."

Soon, a Ming soldier hurriedly ran in and shouted loudly.

"Are the Tartars attacking?" The general of the Ming army asked in a panic.

"What's the matter, what this prison army said is right, Lu Dashuai, are you still insisting that the Tartars will not attack?"

The sudden situation made Du Xun smile with a triumphant smile on his face, looked at Lu Xiangsheng arrogantly, and asked.

"Hmph, whether the Tartars are here to attack or not, it's not certain, all the generals listen to the order, immediately return to the various departments, and prepare for war!"

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng also knew that the matter was urgent, and he didn't want to argue with Du Xun here, so he ordered the generals of the Ming army behind him.

These Ming generals rushed out of their tents one after another, returned to their troops, gathered their soldiers, and prepared to meet the battle.

Regardless of whether the Tartar army suddenly came out of the camp on a large scale or not to attack them, Lu Xiangsheng really didn't dare to be careless at this time.

At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng also sighed in his heart, he knew that he would not be able to save Tong Hai by leading troops to intercept the tens of thousands of people that the Tartars had brought to the north.

Du Xun will never let him divide his troops, and while Lu Xiangsheng cursed Du Xun, he also grieved for the tens of thousands of people in his heart.

"Hurry up, hurry up for Lao Tzu, none of them have eaten enough!"

At this time, in the camp of the Ming army, the generals of the Ming army in each battalion all shouted and kicked a Ming army soldier out of the camp tent.

Just when the soldiers of the Ming army battalions in the camp were quickly assembled, Lu Xiangsheng had already taken several henchmen and generals to climb the wooden wall in front of the camp and looked at the Tartar cavalry that appeared in the distance with a clairspirit mirror.

"Whoa!"

A group of Tartar cavalry was galloping towards the Ming army camp, and the Tartar soldiers were riding on their horses and shouting 'whoop'.

Half a day later, the black pressed a large number of Tartar cavalry, and they had already rushed to the camp of the Ming army, and they were not stupid enough to attack the camp of the Ming army.

On the contrary, these Tartar cavalry formed a large group and formed a circle around the huge camp of the Ming army, shouting arrogantly and demonstrating to the Ming army.

"These dog Tartars, they are really arrogant, the commander, the last general asks for orders, leads a cavalry to kill out of the camp, and teaches these Tartar cavalry a lesson."

A short-tempered general of the Ming army, seeing that the Tartar cavalry was so unsightly, openly circled around their camp, and angrily asked Lu Xiang to fight.

Lu Xiangsheng was silent, and continued to observe the outside with a clairvoyant mirror, observing the movements of these Tartar cavalry, ignoring the Ming general's request for battle.

After half a day passed, thousands of Tartar cavalry demonstrated in a circle around the Ming army's camp, and the Ming soldiers in the Ming army's camp also completed the assembly and preparation.

However, even though Lu Xiangsheng knew that there were more than 120,000 troops in his camp at this time, he still didn't dare to order the initiative to attack and meet the Tartar cavalry outside.

Because, for the strength of the Tartar cavalry field battle, Lu Xiangsheng has already experienced it deeply enough.

In addition, he was also hopeless about the combat power level of the Ming army under his command.

If Lu Xiangsheng had twenty or thirty thousand in his hands at this time, he would definitely dare to kill the Tianxiong Army he trained a few years ago.

It's a pity that since Lu Xiangsheng didn't die in Jiazhuang, he has won Chongzhen's trust in the past two years, and he has become the secretary of the military department step by step, and even the current first assistant.

The position is getting higher and higher, which also makes Lu Xiangsheng gradually entangled in more trivial matters, and has to deal with more difficult problems for Chongzhen.

So that Lu Xiangsheng no longer has the time and energy to personally form and train an army, and Chongzhen can't come up with extra money and food for Lu Xiangsheng to train a new army.

In front of him, the only thing that gave Lu Xiang the confidence to resist the Tartar army was not the 120,000 army in his hand, but the strong camp where he was.

Only by relying on this strong camp and cooperating with the 120,000 army in his hands can Lu Xiangsheng have the confidence to fight with the Tartars.

And once the Ming army was let out of this camp, Lu Xiangsheng's 120,000 army was really impossible to defeat in the field, and the 70,000 Tartars in Azig's hands at this time were impossible.

But if Lu Xiangsheng had relied on this sturdy stone and wood camp to fight the Tartars, the situation would have been very different.

First of all, in this way, the battle becomes a battle for the Tartars, which the Tartars are not good at.

Secondly, Lu Xiangsheng had a large number of archers and firecrackers in his army, and these archers and firecrackers stood on the wall, and they would no longer be afraid of the advance of the Tartar cavalry, and would exert several times more combat power than them in the field.

"Let the archers and musketeers be ready, pass on the orders of the commander, and no one shall lead his troops out of the village."

Lu Xiangsheng gave an order to the generals of the Ming army behind him.

As a result, this time the Tartars did not really launch a fierce attack on the capital, as the Ming army feared.

The thousands of Tartar cavalry surrounding Lu Xiangsheng's camp were also thundering and raining, and they had been walking around the camp for almost half a day, and they did not launch any offensive.

Even if Lu Xiangsheng used the clairvoyant mirror, he didn't find that there were more other Tartar cavalry coming from the northwest, which made Lu Xiangsheng feel more and more wrong.

"Isn't the Tartar cavalry going out this time to attack the capital? Oh no, it's time to go to the tartars. ”

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng finally came to his senses and firmly believed in the speculation in his heart.

"Tong Hai, Hao Qiang, this commander ordered the two of you to immediately lead 10,000 cavalry out of the camp to meet these Tartar cavalry, and don't let them go."

"Ahh

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly turned around and gave orders to Hao Qiang and Tong Hai, so that neither of them reacted, and Tong Hai let out an exclamation.

"Ah, what, hurry up and get some cavalry to fight, the Tartars are using these thousands of cavalry to confuse us!"

Lu Xiangsheng shouted loudly.

From Lu Xiangsheng ordered Hao Qiang and Tong Hai to lead the cavalry to attack, the time passed for two incense sticks, and the two led 20,000 cavalry out of the camp.

It turned out that the 20,000 Ming cavalry in the camp thought that they would not be needed for a while in this battle, so they took off their armor one by one and rested in the camp and stood by.

Creak!

"Kill me!"

Finally, as the thick gate of the Ming army camp opened, Hao Qiang and Tong Hai each led 10,000 Ming cavalry, rushed out of the gate, and killed the Eastern Tartar cavalry in two directions.

"Minggou's cavalry is out, withdraw!"

This time, it was Hauge who led the army to lead, and at this time, after seeing a large number of cavalry of the Ming army slaughtering out of the camp, he gave the order to retreat.

Around the outside of the Ming camp, about 5,000 Tartar cavalry quickly moved, and then formed a loose cavalry formation, quickly retreating to the west.

Among the 5,000 Tartar cavalry who came this time, it was mainly the Tartar cavalry with yellow flags, commanded by Hauge.

Among the Eight Banners of the Tartars, the two yellow banners, as the descendants of Huang Taiji, have always been the strongest in strength, and the number is also the largest.

Like the two blue flags of the Tartars combined, it is barely one flag more than the Yellow Flag of the Tartars.

Among the tartars, in addition to the yellow flag, it is also the yellow flag, and the white flag of Dolgon, which is the strongest.

This time, the Tartars entered the customs to fight, and Huang Taiji left his Zhenghuang flag outside the customs and did not send it out.

Huang Taiji is a smart person, and a smart person will not be on the same stone and be tripped twice in a row.

Huang Taiji will never allow a second occurrence like the last time Li Zixiao crossed the sea and landed outside the pass and killed under Shengjing City.

"Sure enough, as Ben Shuai expected, these Tartars are bluffing, and the real main army of the Tartars is estimated to have left at this time."

Lu Xiangsheng's face was ugly, not only because he was deceived by the Tartars, but more importantly, even if he guessed the Tartars' intentions at this time, he was helpless.

"The real target of the Azig army should be Shanxi in the west! Now it's even more troublesome. ”

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the west with his eyes and muttered to himself.

"Kill the Tartars!"

At this time, the 20,000 Ming cavalry led by Hao Qiang and Tong Hai, after rushing out of the camp, pursued the retreating 5,000 Tartar cavalry led by Haoge.

Whoosh!

As a result, the Tartar cavalry was in orderly formation, moved quickly, and the war horses were better than the Ming army, so they didn't give Hao Qiang a chance to catch up at all.

On the contrary, Hauge led 5,000 Tartar cavalry in the retreat, making full use of their Tartar housekeeping skills 'riding and shooting', and one galloped on horseback while continuing to throw at the pursuing Ming cavalry in the rear.

Bursts of arrows rained down one after another, and the Ming cavalry chasing behind, before they could get into hands with others, they kept using cavalry to be shot off their horses by arrows.

"Damn, the Tartars' horses are too fast, we can't catch up!"

Hao Qiang rode on a war horse, surrounded by countless Ming cavalry, but he could only look at the Tartar cavalry in front of him helplessly, and constantly withstand the attacks of the Tartar arrow rain, and said angrily.

Thundered!

More than 25,000 cavalry galloped across the northern wasteland, and the ground trembled, making a loud 'rumbling' sound.

The 20,000 cavalry of the Ming army and the 5,000 cavalry of the Tartars retreated and pursued, and continued to move away to the west.

"You can't chase it anymore, Ming Jin, let Tong Hai and Hao Qiang collect their troops and come back."

When Lu Xiangsheng in the Ming military camp looked at Tong Hai and Hao Qiang, who were chasing farther and farther, he was also worried, and hurriedly asked his corporal Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

Lu Xiangsheng was worried that Tong Hai and Hao Qiang, if they chased after them like this, if they fell into the ambush of the Tartars, they would be in trouble at that time.
