The first is that Lu Xiangsheng completely lost the trust of Emperor Chongzhen.

Because of the repeated setbacks of the Ming army, Emperor Chongzhen lost all confidence and was at a loss.And under the wind of Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian whom he trusts so much, he already has a great dislike for Lu Xiangsheng.

At this time, Lu Xiang was promoted to be a superintendent, and in fact only his own Xuanda army could be in charge, and the strength of this army was getting smaller and smaller.In November, because Chen Xinjia went to the north to serve, the Ministry of War ordered Lu Xiangsheng to lead a part of Chen Xinjia's command; in December, there was an alarm in Datong, and the Ministry of War ordered Wang Pu, the general of Datong, to lead his troops back to defense.In this way, Lu Xiangsheng's original more than 2 people only have more than 5000, and there are only two generals, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu. done.

Then Gao Qiqian continued to play dirty tricks.It's very simple, no food is provided, and the local government is not allowed to provide food, and Lu Xiangsheng has nowhere to buy it with the money in the army, just to force Lu Xiangsheng to submit.

If both Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian were at fault for their quarrel, Gao Qiqian's actions now are shameful, even criminal.As a result, when the Qing army caught up on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Xiangsheng's troops were completely out of food.

Both Lu and Gao have now arrived in the area of ​​Shunde Mansion (now Xingtai) in southern Hebei, where a large number of Qing troops are gathering.Days of unfavorable battles have made Lu Xiangsheng realize that the Qing army in front of him is very different from the peasant army he has dealt with in the past, and it is difficult to defeat.Coupled with the fact that the Ministry of War continued to reduce its own troops, the emperor repeatedly issued strict orders to punish him.He was deeply saddened and resentful, determined to repay the emperor with a deadly battle.

December tenth.Dorgon led more than 8000 main forces of the Qing army to fight fiercely with [-] troops from Lu Xiangsheng's troops.At this time, Lu Xiangsheng's department had been out of food for three days.Under Lu Xiangsheng's first charge, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who fought desperately were all hungry, but they still didn't lose the wind. This was completely inspired by Lu Xiangsheng's heroic fighting spirit.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng hoped that more than 3 Guannei troops would join the battlefield dozens of miles away, so that the strength of the Ming army would exceed [-], and it might be possible to repel the Qing army.But Lu Xiangsheng was disappointed.In this day's battle, Gao Qiqian has been standing still.

that night.Jiazhuang, Julu County, in the camp of the Tianxiong Army. [

"Supervisor! Supervisor! Wang Pu, the one who killed a thousand swords, actually ran away. Supervisor, stop him quickly!" Yang Guozhu, who rushed into the big tent, shouted loudly.

Everyone in the big tent was ashamed.Without Wang Pu's 5000 soldiers and horses, there are only [-] men now, so how can they fight against the Qing army?Not to mention how heavy a blow this behavior was to the morale of the army.

Lu Xiangsheng's face was also livid, and he was silent for a while, before he finally sighed: "Let him go! He has been with the governor to this day. Wang Zongbing is also kind and righteous. It has been three days since the Ministry of War issued an edict, and he can still accompany me until now." Today, fighting side by side with us, there is too much to blame. Hey——! Chief soldiers Yang and Hu, you two can do whatever you want!"

"What did the supervisor say? My tiger is not in the habit of running away." Hu Dawei said dissatisfied.But he is a high-ranking military officer after all, not someone who is provoked by a few words.He was so hot-headed, so he calmly persuaded him: "This is a battle that must be lost, and it is very meaningful to fight again. Superintendent! We also need to stay useful. Let's withdraw!"

"Yes! Let's go!" Yang Guozhu on the side also looked forward to it.

"The king humiliates the subject to death, the king humiliates the subject to death!" Lu Xiangsheng repeated this sentence repeatedly, speaking in a very low voice.As if talking to himself.Then he raised his voice again, and said resolutely: "Xiang Sheng is no longer a filial son. I hope to be a loyal minister. I have made up my mind. I will fight again tomorrow, and everyone needs to persuade me." Although what he said was in the middle of the air It's perfect, but Lu Xiangsheng's taste of wanting to die can't be concealed, it seems that it's just a flash of light.

There was a dead silence inside the big tent.Everyone also saw Lu Xiangsheng's intentions.After a while, Hu Dawei sighed: "The last general will follow the supervisor closely!"

Yang Guozhu also nodded and said: "It should also be counted as a humble job! Hey——!"

Unexpectedly, Yang Tinglin, the head of the counselor who had been silent all this time, suddenly broke out: "Mr. Lu! It's not a dead end yet! Give the students a few people to escort the students to Mr. Gao's place. As long as he is willing to send troops, there may not be a turning point!"

"But... but Ben Dusu and..." Lu Xiangsheng was quite hesitant.

"Grandpa Lu! No matter how you say it, they are soldiers and horses of the imperial court. At this time of life and death, maybe..., no! Eunuch Gao will definitely take care of the overall situation." Yang Tinglin hurriedly interrupted Lu Xiangsheng.

"Then... that's fine!" Lu Xiangsheng hesitated, "Prepare twenty strong men for Ting Lin, and we must send him safely to Eunuch Gao. Ting Lin! Be careful!" Lu Xiangsheng certainly didn't want to just do that if he had hope of life. To die, he pinned all his hopes on Gao Qiqian's rescue.

At noon on December 11th, Chongzhen [-]th year.

Lu Xiangsheng was already sweating profusely with a sword and shield in his hand. He and nearly a hundred of his own soldiers had been deeply trapped in the enemy's battle, and had been fighting bloody for a whole morning.Taking advantage of another wave of Qing soldiers' attack, Lu Xiangsheng looked up at the sun in the sky, and thought bitterly in his heart: "Gao Qiqian, that eunuch will definitely not come." A wave of despair rose.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng already had a premonition before the war started today.When Yang Tinglin went to move reinforcements, Lu Xiangsheng still had a glimmer of hope.However, Yang Tinglin left the camp in the middle of the night, and before the dawn of the morning, Lu Xiangsheng already knew that there was no news. [

But Lu Xiangsheng understood that he could no longer avoid the battle.Not to mention that the Qing army is pressing so hard, but now our own army has no strength to escape.Because the soldiers have been short of food for several days.

So Lu Xiangsheng led the whole army out of the camp.Hu Dawei was on the left, Yang Guozhu was on the right, and Lu Xiangsheng was in the middle. As soon as they finished forming the real formation, they all attacked the Qing army in unison.

The Qing army was taken aback by the momentum of the Tianxiong army.For the Qing army who fought with the Ming army for many years, it is indeed too rare for the Ming army to dare to fight to the death. Although the Qing army was the first to ask for the battle, after the two sides fought, the Qing army was beaten back step by step.

But after all, the Tianxiong Army only has three axes.The momentum of the Tianxiong army was maintained for a short time, and when the Qing army stabilized their position, they surrounded them again.
