Chapter 582

Cao Huachun shook his head and said: Lord Lu, today's defeat is not the strategy and bravery of the public, but the time is different from the public. You can train a Tianxiong army with one hand, and you can also train another Tianxiong army to serve the emperor again. The imperial court has more Cao but less Cao. Today, it is a coincidence that Cao is loyal to the imperial court. "

At the critical moment of life and death, Cao Huachun can say this sentence, which makes Lu Xiangsheng look at Cao Huachun with new eyes.

Lu Xiangsheng is an orthodox scholar bureaucrat. They despise eunuchs extremely. To what extent? Think they're not even human.

The scholar bureaucrats of this era pay attention to the parents who are physically and physically affected. These people can cut off their lifeblood in order to live. This is unfilial to their ancestors. They are not allowed to enter their ancestral graves after death. Therefore, the opposition between them and eunuchs is also natural. They are born to fight constantly, not to mention the conflict of power.

Lu Xiangsheng is also such a person. He also despises Cao Huachun. When the other party first came, he didn't even want to talk to the other party to represent his lofty and arrogant.

Since Cao Huachun became the Commissioner of the army, they have not talked privately except for a few business talks. Even Cao Huachun invited him to dinner in private.

He thought that eunuchs were such a thing. There were few good people, but what Cao Huachun did now moved him.

Lu Xiangsheng said with a sad smile, "it's a coincidence that someone can form Tianxiong army. Since Tianxiong army has declined, there won't be a second one."

Lu Xiangsheng knows this very well. He can set up Tianxiong army in Daming Mansion because these people trust him. They believe that following him can kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions and seal their wives and children. Frankly, they also pursue wealth. So many people die with him. Who else is willing to follow him again.

Just like the Qi family army, they fought in the South and North, but after the Jizhou mutiny, is there still the Qi family army in the world?

So he also understood that this was the defeat today. He was completely destroyed and there would be no tomorrow. That's why he decided to break the whole festival here.

Lu Xiangsheng is a person who pays great attention to reputation. In order to pay attention to reputation, he can share joys and sorrows with the soldiers, eat and live together. When chasing and killing the wandering bandits, the soldiers didn't eat for three days and nights, and he followed everyone. He didn't eat a grain of rice for three days and nights, which convinced everyone and worked hard for him.

At this moment, so many brothers have died here, all carried here, and can no longer take them back. He also has the heart of death.

Lu Xiangsheng said flatly, "absolutely not! Today is the time when Lu and Liu thieves die together. Cao Gong, go back and tell the emperor what happened today. Cao Gong, you are not running away, but my commander ordered Cao Gong to retreat. If you see our bones in the future, please bury them for me?"

Cao Huachun saw that he said so, so he had to smile bitterly and no longer insist. He was also infected by the tragic and stirring of the soldiers on the battlefield. He was willing to live and die with the soldiers.

But this does not mean that he is not afraid of death. Since Lu Xiangsheng insisted repeatedly, he decided not to make unnecessary sacrifices. Even if the emperor wanted to execute him, he didn't care. He wanted to tell the emperor and the court what happened here today, so that they could know what happened here.

Let them know how the Tianxiong army was destroyed.

Lu Xiangsheng commanded the army. After fighting for most of the day, he knew he was coming to an end. The main reason was that the other party sent two extremely powerful cavalry to suppress them, so that they did not dare to retreat. Once they did not dare to retreat, they were imprisoned and trapped in the snow, without food, water and reinforcements.

If it's a hot summer, it's not a big problem and you can stick to it, but it's a cold winter. They're in ice and snow. It's extremely cold. People's heat consumption is very fast. If they don't eat for two hours, people begin to freeze and can't stand it.

It was only two or three hours. Many soldiers couldn't stand it. They were forced to kill their horses and eat their meat raw.

We should know that any army, when it comes to killing horses for food, is at the end of the mountain. For any army, his horses are very important, even more important than cavalry. Even horses are killed to eat meat. Needless to say, seeing these sad situations, Lu Xiangsheng laments that they are at a dead end.

However, he was not willing to die like this. He decided to launch a counter attack. After night and after dark, the impact on the enemy soldiers was the same. At that time, he could fight to the death with the enemy.

Lu Xiangsheng ordered the soldiers to collect everything they could eat, and then distributed it to the soldiers. He was ready to wait until after dark to launch an assault on the enemy and cover their old, weak, sick and disabled and the retreat of some important people.

At this time, he certainly did not dare to retreat with all his strength. He just wanted to save most of the people, but he had to stay and break the rear.

After Lu Xiangsheng left, his generals also asked for orders and were willing to live and die together. After Lu Xiangsheng led the army for many years, there are still a group of loyal and life and death men. At this critical moment, they are not afraid of death and are willing to stay and live and die together.

Lu Xiangsheng was very pleased to see this situation and said, "it's a great honor for Lu to live with you."

Everyone also said loudly, "I'm willing to live and die with the marshal."

Lu Xiangsheng said loudly, "let's fight the enemy bravely and be loyal to our country."

All the soldiers said in unison, "kill the enemy and make contributions! Be loyal to the country."

Seeing this situation, Cao Huachun sighed, "how magnificent! There will be a sense of death, and scholars have no desire to live greedily."

Even Cao Huachun and others have a tragic meaning. He wants to follow them to fight on the battlefield and die together. Even if he dies, he can be regarded as a ghost hero.

But his men didn't agree. Seeing that Lu Shuai didn't object to their departure, they immediately left with Cao Huachun.

You should know that Liu Jun is only suppressing their military array and monitoring their camp. He still does not interfere with the retreat of their small group of personnel. If Liu Jiajun frees his hand and interferes with them, they can't go if they want to go.

Liu Jiajun's practice should also be regarded as a way to surround the three que, so that these people did not fight to death, but they were wrong. These people are not afraid of death at all.

They are all people who can die for their ideals.

After Liu Bu entered the temporary camp, he immediately ordered all departments to prepare for rest. Before they launch a new attack, they always rest first to give the soldiers enough physical strength.

What Liu Bu meant was that he had to launch an attack at dawn tomorrow at the latest, eat up the Ming army and paralyze its East Route Army.

But the generals asked for war one after another and asked for a fierce attack at night. This evening, they flattened the Ming army camp.

As the commander of Liu Jiajun, Liu Bu was not as arbitrary as others thought. He made all the plans. In many cases, a large group of officers worked together to provide advice to each other. If it was good, they accepted it and if it was bad, they rejected it. Since the generals asked for war one after another, he did not hesitate and agreed immediately.

That night, they flattened each other's array, because they all worried about the same thing, that is, late will change.

So Liu Jiajun, after they were full and rested immediately, they launched an attack around noon (20 p.m.).

Liu Jiajun is also one of the few officers and soldiers with night fighting ability in contemporary times, because their army is equipped with a large amount of meat, the soldiers' physical quality is very good, their nutrition is passable, and there are relatively few night blindness. In addition, they now have the upper hand and can use torches and lanterns as lighting tools unscrupulously.

Whether it is Liu Jiajun or Tianxiong army, they all choose to make big moves tonight. They are all worried that if they are late, there will be changes, and there will be new changes tomorrow.

The first to launch the attack was the infantry of the Liu family army. They still used muskets as vanguards to shoot the soldiers of the Tianxiong army at will.

The archers of the soldiers of the Tianxiong army, under the cover of the shield, fought back. The soldiers of both sides came to block and fight each other. However, because the number of archers of the Tianxiong army was too small, they were at an obvious disadvantage, that is, they lacked long-range attack power, so they were pressed by the Liu family army.

Today, Liu Jiajun did something different. That is, they moved forward step by step and began to occupy the outer positions of Tianxiong army. When they defeated the outer defense of Tianxiong army, their cavalry went out like a mountain torrent and swept away to the positions of Tianxiong army with all their strength.

This time, Liu Jiajun, the infantry and cavalry sent out together. After the infantry shot the enemy's peripheral soldiers with guns, they quickly rushed into the array of Tianxiong army with the cavalry as the leader, slashed and killed, and scattered their formation.

The infantry followed, and the large array of Tianxiong army overlapped layer by layer, with tens of thousands of soldiers, but under the impact of Liu Jiajun, it collapsed rapidly and quickly fell into the verge of collapse.

Although Tianxiong army is very strong and powerful, after all, they are tired. They have been trapped in the snow for a full day. They are hungry, tired and afraid.

Therefore, they have already entered the verge of collapse. They have no reinforcements, but Liu Jiajun's reinforcements are coming in a steady stream. They are still famous Liu Bu, which makes them more desperate.

When the Liu family army launched a fierce attack, it was on the eve that they were ready to launch a breakthrough. They were beaten out of reach and in a mess.

If they don't withdraw, everyone will fight with one heart and one mind. Maybe they can resist for a long time, but now he has organized a breakthrough and people are in panic. Where can there be a new heart to fight again?

As a result, as soon as Liu Jiajun launched a fierce attack, they immediately collapsed and became a mess. They quickly broke through the peripheral positions and directly defeated them. In the face of this situation, Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to command the troops to withdraw to the camp.
