Cao Huachun shook his head and said: Duke Lu, today's defeat is not the strategy and courage of the public, but the time is not to be with Duke. You can train one Tianxiong Army with one hand, and you can also train another Tianxiong Army to serve His Majesty the Emperor again. However, there are not many Caos in the court, and there are not many Caos in the court. Today, by chance, Caos will be loyal to the court."

At the critical moment of life and death, Cao Huachun was able to say this, which made Lu Xiangsheng look at Cao Huachun with admiration.

Lu Xiangsheng was an orthodox scholar-official. They despised eunuchs very much. How much did they despise? They thought they were not even human.

The scholars and officials of this era paid attention to their parents who were given their bodies and their hair. In order to survive, these people could cut off their lives. This was unfilial to their ancestors and they were not allowed to enter the ancestral grave after death. Therefore, the opposition between them and eunuchs was also natural, and they would naturally fight, not to mention a conflict of power.

Lu Xiangsheng is also such a person, and he also despises Cao Huachun extremely. When the other party first came, he didn't even want to say anything to the other party, which represents his noble and arrogant attitude.

Since Cao Huachun became the military supervisor, they have never talked about private words except for a few official talks. Even Cao Huachun invited him to dinner in private, he did not go there.

He thought that eunuchs were like this, and there were not many good people, but what Cao Huachun did now moved him.

Lu Xiangsheng smiled miserably and said, "It is a coincidence that some people can form the Tianxiong Army. Since the Tianxiong Army has declined, there will be no second one."

Lu Xiangsheng understood this very well. He was able to form a Tianxiong Army in Daming Mansion because these people trusted him and believed that following him could kill enemies and make meritorious contributions, and grant their wives and children. To put it bluntly, they also pursue wealth. So many people died with him, so who would be willing to follow him again?

Just like the Qi family army that was so powerful that they fought all over the world, they fought all over the world, but after the Jizhou mutiny, how could there be the Qi family army in the world?

So he also understood one thing, that is, once he was defeated today, he was wiped out and there would be no tomorrow again, so he decided to stop the entire festival here.

Lu Xiangsheng is a person who pays great attention to fame. In order to pay attention to fame, he can share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, eat and live together. When chasing the bandits, the soldiers did not eat for three days and three nights, and he also followed everyone, without eating a grain of rice for three days and three nights, which convinced everyone and fought for him.

At this moment, so many brothers died here and were all loaded here. They could never take them back again. He also had the will to die.

Lu Xiangsheng said flatly: "Absolutely not! Today is when Lu and Liu thief die together. Cao Gong, go back and report to the emperor what happened today. Cao Gong, you are not escaping at the last moment, but my commander is like Cao Gong retreating. When you see our corpses in the future, please restrain yourself and bury them on your behalf?"

When Cao Huachun saw him say this, he had to smile bitterly and no longer insisted. He was able to say such words today, and was infected by the tragic tragedy of the soldiers on the battlefield. He was inspired by the momentary indignation and 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 what happened here today, the court, and let them know what was going on here.

Let them know how the Tianxiong Army was destroyed.

Lu Xiangsheng commanded the army. After fighting for most of the day, he knew that he was about to end. The main reason was that the other party sent two extremely powerful cavalry to suppress them, making them afraid to retreat. Once they did not dare to retreat, they would be imprisoned and trapped on the snow, with no food, no drinking water, and no reinforcements.

If it is in the hot summer, this is not a big problem and you can still hold on. However, this is a cold winter. They are in the snow and ice, and they are extremely cold. People consume calories very quickly. If they don’t eat for two hours, they will start to be unable to stand it.

It took only two or three hours, and many soldiers could not stand it. In desperation, they could only kill their war horses and eat horse meat directly.

You should know that when any army kills horses for food, it is at the end of its reach. Any army has its horses very important, even more important than cavalry. Even the horses are killed and eaten meat. Needless to say, everything else, seeing these sad situations, Lu Xiangsheng lamented that they are at the end of their journey.

But he was not willing to die like this. He decided to launch a counterattack. After night and after dark, the impact on the enemy soldiers will be the same. Then he can fight the enemy to the death.

Lu Xiangsheng ordered the soldiers to collect everything they could eat, and then distributed it to the soldiers, preparing to charge the enemy after dark to cover their old, weak, sick and disabled, and some important people to retreat.

At this time, he definitely did not dare to retreat with all his might, but he just wanted to save most of the people, but he had to stay and cut off the rear.

Lu Xiangsheng stayed and cut off the rear, and his generals also asked for his orders, wishing to live and die together. Lu Xiangsheng has led his troops for many years, but he still has a group of loyal subordinates who share life and death. At this critical moment of life and death, they are not afraid of death and are willing to stay and die together.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw this situation, he was also very pleased and said, "Lu is extremely honorable to be able to live with you."

Everyone also said loudly: "I wish to live and die with the commander."

Lu Xiangsheng said loudly: "Let us fight bravely to fight the enemy and be loyal to the country."

The soldiers said in unison: "Kill the enemy and make meritorious! Be loyal to the country."

When Cao Huachun saw this situation, he sighed: "How might it be! He will have the will of death, and the scholar will not be greedy for life."

Even Cao Huachun and others had a tragic feeling, and he wanted to follow them to fight on the battlefield, live and die together, and even if they die, they would be considered as a ghost hero.

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

You should know that the current Liu army is just suppressing their military formation and monitoring their camp, and still has no interference in the retreat of their small groups of people. If the Liu family army frees up their hands and interferes with them, they will not be able to leave even if they want to.

The Liu family army's approach should be considered a way to conquer three que 1, so that these people did not fight to the death, but they were wrong, and these people were not afraid of death at all.

They are all people who can devote themselves to their ideals.

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

Liu Bu means that he has to launch an attack at dawn tomorrow at the latest, eat up this Ming army in one fell swoop, paralyzing its Eastern Army.

However, the generals asked for a fight one after another, demanding a fierce attack tonight, and to flatten the Ming army camp tonight.

As the commander of the Liu family army, Liu Bu was not actually arbitrary, as others thought. He made all plans. In many cases, a large group of officers worked together to provide opinions from each other. If it was good, accept it, and if it was bad, reject it. Since the generals asked for the fight one after another, he did not hesitate and agreed immediately.

That night, they flattened the other party's formation because they were all worried about the same thing, and that's Chi Zechang.

So after the Liu family army and the others were full, they immediately rested, and they launched an attack around the middle of the Xu hour (20 o'clock in the evening).

The Liu family army is one of the few officers and soldiers with night combat capabilities in contemporary times. Because their army is equipped with a large amount of meat, the soldiers have very good physical fitness and good nutrition, and there is relatively little night blindness. In addition, they now have the upper hand and can use torches and lanterns as lighting tools without restraint.

Whether it is the Liu family army or the Tianxiong army, they all chose to make big moves tonight. They were all worried that if they were late, there would be changes and there would be new changes tomorrow.

The first one to launch an attack were the infantry of the Liu family army. They still acted as vanguards, using muskets to randomly shoot and kill the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army.

The archers of the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army fought back under the cover of the shield. The soldiers from both sides came to block and fought to the death. 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, which made the Liu family army fight with pressure.

The Liu family army's approach today is different. This is because they move forward step by step and begin to invade the outer positions of the Tianxiong Army. When they defeated the outer defense of the Tianxiong Army, their cavalry was dispatched like a mountain torrent, sweeping towards the Tianxiong Army's positions with all their strength.

This time, the Liu family army was dispatched together by infantry and cavalry. After the infantry used guns to shoot the opponent's outer soldiers, they quickly rushed into the Tianxiong Army's array with cavalry as the leader, slashed and killed them, and scattered their formations.

The infantry followed closely behind, with the formation of the Tianxiong Army overlapping layer by layer, with tens of thousands of soldiers, but under the impact of the Liu family army, it quickly collapsed and quickly fell on the verge of collapse.

Although the Tianxiong Army and the others are very strong and very awesome, they are already tired after all. They have been trapped in the snow for a whole day. They are hungry and hungry, tired and afraid.

So they had already reached the brink of collapse. They had no reinforcements, but the reinforcements of the Liu family army arrived continuously, and the famous Liu Bu came, which made them even more desperate.

When the Liu family army launched a fierce attack, it was the eve of their preparation to break through. They were beaten to a turmoil that was tentacles away and became a mess.

If they don't withdraw, everyone will work together and fight to the death. Maybe they can resist for a longer time, but now he organizes a breakthrough and is panic, so where can he have a new heart to fight again?
