After confirming that the Tartars had retreated, Lu Xiangsheng, who was about to risk his life to rescue Tushan, relaxed and could no longer stand. Even if he was the Minister of War and commanded the world, he was sitting on the cold ground like an ordinary soldier. Compared with the carnival of others, he was still a little confused.
If the Tartars retreated, they were actually playing hard to get and wanted to relax their vigilance, Lu Xiangsheng felt it was unlikely. Because the situation just now was critical, the Tartars had no need to do this. The biggest possibility of evacuating was to have to leave! Could it be... Could it be that his suspicious army strategy was effective?
This thought flashed through his mind, but soon Lu Xiangsheng denied this idea himself. If his plan to doubt the soldiers worked, the Tartars would not have withdrawn in a hurry until now. Judging from this situation, there must be something that made Dorgon decide to withdraw his troops immediately, but what exactly is it? Is it really a reinforcements?
It was naturally impossible for Lu Xiangsheng to guess that Emperor Chongzhen knew his idea through eavesdropping seeds and immediately cooperated, which made Dorgon, who was hesitant, make up his mind to withdraw his troops.
Lu Xiangsheng thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he buried this doubt in his heart. After resting for a while, he stood up and walked towards the bodies of the comrades who died in battle. Now, he has the opportunity to organize and place them!
In the central army tent where Gao Qiqian was located, he and Wang Chengen sat opposite each other with a sad face. Due to the consumption of the brave men, especially the casualties of the Tianxiong Army, the speed of advancing towards Jiazhuang was getting slower and slower, whether it was Gao Qiqian or Wang Chengen, they were at a loss for this.
To be honest, Wang Chengen did not understand military affairs before this. In his opinion, the war between the two armies was more about the comparison of numbers. There were at least 50,000 troops here. Such a large army could rush forward no matter how?
But since he came here, he has seen those soldiers who usually boast that they are elite troops and look at the powerful soldiers. They can't resist much time when they encounter the Tartar army. Some of them are even defeated at once. Not to mention one-on-one, one-on-four, one-on-ten are all problems. War is not just a number game at all. Including morale, training, command, etc., many things are not what they imagine on weekdays, nor are they just like they are usually like!
Although Wang Chengen did not have much responsibility if he could not save Lu Xiangsheng. However, when he came from the capital, he naturally knew how much the emperor had expected this. As the emperor's slave, he naturally thought that it would be best to save Lu Xiangsheng. However, at this time, he actually had no hope for this!
At this moment, a personal guard suddenly rushed into the tent, without reporting, and said loudly with a look of surprise: "Sir, the Qing Tartars have withdrew their troops, and the Qing Tartars have withdrew their troops..."
"What?" Gao Qiqian and Wang Chengen stood up almost at the same time, looking incredible.
Especially Gao Qiqian, who was most excited, walked quickly to the guards and shouted loudly: "Say it again, have the Tartars retreated?"
"Yes, the Tartars in front of us have retreated and are pulling their camps to retreat north!" The guard quickly replied, pointing out with his hands, "Sir, go and see it yourself!"
Needless to say, it must be seen.
Gao Qiqian and Wang Chengen rushed outside the tent together, climbed up the watchtower, and found that the Tartars in the distance were indeed retreating. Under the cover of the cavalry, the army was walking north. Seeing the entire Ming army soldiers in the camp cheering happily, Gao Qiqian was happy for a while, and suddenly he was as pale as if he was hit by lightning, and his face was pale, and he was stunned there.
Wang Chengen beside him was ecstatic, but immediately found that Gao Qiqian's expression was wrong, and he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Eunuch Gao, the Tartars have withdrew, why are you still unhappy when you look?"
"Lu...Shu Lu is afraid that there will be a lot of danger!" Gao Qiqian said in a daze, "It's over, it's over, it's over!"
When Wang Chengen heard this, he was stunned. It seemed that the reason why the Qing Tartars stood in front was that they did not let themselves save Lu Xiangsheng. Now that they retreated, they must have achieved their goal.
Thinking of this, Wang Chengen's happiness disappeared. Thinking that the emperor would definitely be very disappointed when he knew that Lu Xiangsheng had died in battle. He was furious and immediately became frowning. At the same time, he stared at Gao Qiqian, thinking in his heart whether to capture him and return to Beijing now.
The two of them were worried when they stayed on the watchtower. Even if the generals came to the Central Army to report the good news, they ignored them.
For those generals, at least they did not escape, so they could do their best. At least compared to before, this time they could do their best. Even if some of them thought of Lu Xiangsheng being killed, they didn't think they had something to do. Therefore, each of them was happy. Only Lu Da and Yang Guozhu were as worried as they were, asking Gao Qiqian to send Ye Bugu to Jiazhuang to find out.
At this moment, Ye Busuo rushed in, and while driving his horse to run in the camp, he shouted excitedly: "I have defended Jiazhuang, Jiazhuang has rescued..."
Hearing this, Gao Qiqian, who was stunned by the silence, suddenly jumped up, with a huge amplitude and almost fell off the watchtower. However, he ignored this and quickly verified the situation.
After a while, he actually knelt on the watchtower without any composure, thanking God for saving his life! Then, he immediately ordered the entire army to set off and go to Jiazhuang to join Shangshu Lu. Wang Chengen was also extremely happy and quickly arranged for someone to return to the capital to report good news to the emperor.
When the news spread throughout the army, all the soldiers' mentality changed a little that they didn't know. These days, they actually persisted with the extremely powerful Tartar field battle, and the final result was that the Tartars withdrew their troops and won!
Although there is a difference in casualties between the two sides and the Tartars are still so arrogant, they seem to be no longer so scared in the hearts of these Ming soldiers.
At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen had just arranged the refugee affairs and returned to the palace. At this time, he learned from Wang Chengen's eavesdropping seeds that Lu Xiangsheng was fine, and he couldn't help but be very happy.
In fact, through Wu Zhong's eavesdropping seeds, he had already known that the fake news had been successfully transmitted to Dorgon. But the effect was that he didn't know because Wu Zhong was taken away. He was relieved to hear it at this time.
At this time, only he knew what the real reason for the withdrawal of the Qing army was, and he couldn't help but feel a little accomplished. He felt like he was planning and winning thousands of miles away.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a text on the eavesdropping system: using a trick to get the Qing army to retreat, thus achieving his goal. This is a training for the commander and rewarding a Class C eavesdropping seed.
