Ye Buseng came back one after another to report. After summing up, Lu Xiangsheng discovered that the Qing army relied on its strong military strength and divided into ten routes, preparing to start siege cities and plunder again.

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

Seeing that he was not moving, Yang Lukai, the palm-master beside him, said first: "Sir, since the Jianlu army has divided into ten routes, it has just diluted the strength. Our army has few soldiers, and it has just reduced the pressure. In this way, if you annihilate the whole route, your chances of winning will be much greater!"

However, when Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he still frowned, turned his head to look at him, shook his head and said, "I will ask you, if you are Dorgon, Jianlu, and know that my Ming army is leading troops nearby, will you still divide the troops into ten groups?"

Hearing this, Yang Lukai was stunned. Didn’t Ye Budou report that the Qing army had already divided into ten routes? Under the command of the lord, Ye Budou would not dare to lie about military affairs!

Seeing that he was stunned, Lu Xiangsheng was willing to support the people around him, and explained to him: "The war is in danger, and no war can be 100% sure of victory. Then Dorgon is also a person who has been on the battlefield for a long time, so he naturally cannot make this mistake. According to my official's opinion, although his situation of dividing troops into ten routes 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, thus reducing worries. At that time, it is possible for Dorgon to divide his troops into ten routes!"

Although this Qing army had indeed had more than ten routes of troops when it first entered the pass, the Ming army had not had time to react at that time. The division of troops could disrupt the capital as quickly as possible. There would be no problem with this approach.

But now, the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, including Lu Xiangsheng's troops and Guanning Army, have followed and pursued the Qing army, and more royal troops will definitely arrive one after another. If the Qing army divides its troops into ten routes and actively dilutes its forces, and wants to recreate the Battle of Sarhu back then, it would be extremely stupid.

After Lu Xiangsheng's explanation, Yang Lukai understood this truth and answered a little shocked and a little admirable: "If the adults hadn't been careful, they might have fallen into Jianlu's trick!"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was not proud at all. Instead, he sighed and said, "Our army has too few troops. Otherwise, he would use lightning to concentrate his superior forces to annihilate one or two routes before the Jianlu army encircled, and eat Jianlu's bait. Then he would not be afraid. In this way, our army is very morale and is fighting inside the pass. Jianlu will not dare to fight to the death with me again, and he will definitely think about withdrawing from the pass as soon as possible. At that time, our army will follow, and maybe he will seize the opportunity to give another blow."

Yang Lukai's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was a good strategy to defeat the Qing army invaded the pass! But he immediately thought of the reality. The army under his command only had more than 5,000 cavalry. With this little force, it was basically impossible to quickly eat up all the troops of the Qing army. What's more, these five thousand cavalry were already exhausted and had their military rations cut off. The key to victory or defeat was actually to fight the time difference before the Qing army surrounded.

In this way, even though he had the chance to win the war, he had no choice but to lack troops. Thinking of this, Yang Lukai couldn't help but feel very disappointed. It was obvious that it was impossible for a good cook to cook without rice! If the lord really could command the troops and horses of the world without Gao Qiqian, Yang Sichang and others were at work, why not worry about defeating these Qing troops that invaded the pass!

Thinking of this, he suddenly slammed his high-high and said with hatred: "It was all the treacherous ministers in the court who deprived the adults of their troops. Damn, Damn, Damn!"

Although Lu Xiangsheng proposed to divide the troops himself, he actually had no choice but to do it. Because his command was constrained by the director Gao Qiqian everywhere and could not command the war normally, he took the initiative to divide the troops. As the master of Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Lukai naturally knew this.

However, the matter of teammates being dragged down was not over. Gao Qiqian also took control of Lu Xiangsheng. Not only did the Guanning Army not give it, but even the Tianxiong Army was transferred. Lu Xiangsheng's subordinates were only Datong, Xuanfu, and Shanxi's three generals. As a result, on the way, Datong General Wang Pu also found an excuse to lead the army and run away. Some soldiers knew that the troops were in danger and defeated, and now there were only more than 5,000 left.

After hearing Yang Lukai's words, Lu Xiangsheng did not scold him. Instead, he frowned and looked at the map again. Suddenly, a trace of determination appeared on his face. He slapped the map on the table, pointed with his hand, and said loudly: "Transfer the order, the whole army will set off and chase this way!"

When Yang Lukai heard this, he was stunned again. The Lord has already analyzed it thoroughly. This is the trap of the Qing army, but why should he order the entire army to set off and jump into the trap? You must know that if a five thousand tired army wants to eat about 10,000 people with high morale in a short period of time, it is simply impossible to do!

"Sir, this...this..." He wanted to say that this order was inappropriate, but he couldn't say it even if he denied Lu Xiangsheng's decision in person, so he couldn't help but stutter.

Lu Xiangsheng naturally heard what he wanted to say, and explained with a firm face: "This is the case in the state. Only by knowing that it is impossible to do it and move forward bravely will there be a glimmer of hope!"

When Yang Lukai heard this, he couldn't help but nod. Damn, since this is already the case, the lord has made a decision, so let's fight!

Lu Xiangsheng looked at him and suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart. He knew that he could not do it, but this was actually a goal that was impossible to achieve with the lives of the soldiers. This battle was extremely dangerous, and he basically had no life. I don’t know how many soldiers could survive!

Thinking of this, he suddenly added a military order and said: "This battle is dangerous, and I will never retreat. However, in case of precautions, the clerk of the army will collect letters from the soldiers' families as soon as possible. After an hour, the entire army will be launched and there must be no mistakes!"

"Abide by the order!" Yang Lukai naturally knew that this was actually a suicide note, but he did not hesitate and immediately accepted the order loudly and went out to pass the order.

Lu Xiangsheng thought about it, walked back to the desk, began to write a letter from his home (audit letter).

"...... I have already realized the danger of this battle. However, if the country is difficult and the enemy is raging, the bandits will surely rise again. My brother is appointed as an official in the court and receives the favor of the emperor to meet him. He will pity the suffering of the people in the world. He can only do his best to repay the favor of the emperor and to comfort the people. Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. Both cannot be obtained, but only sacrifices life for righteousness! I will entrust my brother to write a letter to my brother..."

There are some things he did not write in his letter. Although he knew very well in this battle that the probability of winning was too small, he also wanted to fight. The purpose was not to defeat the Qing army, but to fight the Qing army. In this way, even if the emperor really wanted to discuss peace with the Qing Dynasty in the future, he would have some confidence in peacekeeping, and to implement the strategy of resolutely resolutely fighting before fighting foreign countries, he would have some confidence in peacekeeping. It would be possible for the Qing Dynasty to know that if the peacekeeping matters dared to make excessive demands, the Ming army would also have a army that dared to fight, and the fearless army would definitely be a battle to the death!

An hour later, Lu Xiangsheng gathered the letters and allowed several disabled soldiers in the army to retain their Chinese civil service in Julu Jiazhuang, and then he led the army himself to set off.
Chapter completed!
