Late Ming Dynasty: Oops, I am surrounded by the Donglin Party

The ones who could reach Jiazhuang so quickly were naturally the 3,000 cavalrymen from the Beijing camp. Zhang Shikang was worried that Lu Xiangsheng might be in danger, so he had to take the risk and send his only 3,000 cavalrymen to reinforce him first.

Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, Sun Dasheng not only showed no fear on his face, but instead he was roaring with excitement, with thousands of horses galloping behind him. After training in the Beijing camp for so long, he finally had a place to put his skills to use.

He rushed into the enemy camp like a tiger, with the steel knife in his hand flying, and killed an enemy with just one encounter.

This was completely different from the restrictions during training. He no longer had to be so careful not to hurt his comrades. The enemy's blood splashed on his face, hot.

He stuck out his tongue and took a sip, but didn't taste any fishy smell. His white teeth bared, looking particularly ferocious, and he became even more excited.

"Sun Dasheng! Do not act rashly, and quickly reunite with Governor Lu! Anyone who disobeys orders will be subject to military law!"

Wei Shuangyong, the lieutenant general of the Beijing Camp Cavalry, whipped the horse under his crotch desperately and barely caught up with Sun Dasheng who was at the front. He killed the enemy while shouting loudly at Sun Dasheng.

After all, the Jiannu had a large number of people, and although we were caught off guard by their sudden attack, it was bound to be only temporary.

They had been marching rapidly for several days in a row, and the soldiers and horses were very tired. Once the Jiannu army reacted, not only would they be unable to rescue Lu Xiangsheng, but they themselves might also be killed.

Another reason why Wei Shuangyong spoke so harshly was that before he went to the expedition, the always upright Sun Weifan found him and specifically told him to keep an eye on Sun Dasheng.

Sun Weifan had always treated all his subordinates equally in the military camp, and even often targeted his son, beating Sun Dasheng black and blue at any time.

There was even a rumor in the Beijing camp that Sun Dasheng was not Sun Weifan's biological son, otherwise why would he beat his son so much.

But it was not until then that Wei Shuangyong finally realized that everything was just an appearance, and it was just that Marquis Huaining expressed it in a different way.

Sun Dasheng performed outstandingly in the Ma Jun and ranked among the top in all grades. Wei Shuangyong actually admired this boy very much and he had a lot of drive.

Although a bit reckless, a soldier, especially a cavalryman, will never become an elite cavalryman if he is timid.

But everything has its pros and cons. Sun Dasheng is currently a typical example of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

But who knows how many newborn calves have been eaten by tigers?

Wei Shuangyong was thinking so in his heart. Although Sun Dasheng was reluctant to hear it, he had to obey the military order. He wiped the blood off his face and rushed towards the Ming army camp in the center of the encirclement.

Since all those who participated in the siege of Lu Xiangsheng were the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and the attack was a surprise, it took only half a quarter of an hour for Wei Shuangyong's 3,000 cavalry to rush from the periphery of the battle formation to the vicinity of the Ming army camp.

"I am Wei Shuangyong, the lieutenant commander of the Beijing Camp Cavalry Battalion. Where is Governor Lu?"

While hacking and killing, Wei Shuangyong asked a Ming army general in armor.

He always remembered what Zhang Shikang said before he left. This expedition had only one purpose - to rescue Xuanda Governor Lu Xiangsheng.

Although Wei Shuangyong didn't know why the admiral cared so much about this person, he believed in Zhang Shikang's military orders, so when he came into contact with friendly forces, he hurried to ask.

"The Governor has been seriously injured and is exhausted. He is with General Hu." The general pointed to the east.

Not far away, Wei Shuangyong immediately gave his orders to his subordinates:

"All soldiers, listen up! Charge forward and protect Governor Lu!"

The cavalry had always considered themselves the elite in the Beijing camp, especially after they had obtained thousands of excellent Mongolian war horses, they would walk with their heads held high in the Beijing camp.

They all knew that the guy under their crotch was the one that Governor Lu had worked hard to get, so they all rushed towards Lu Xiangsheng, yelling.

The cavalry already had a huge advantage over the infantry, and Kong Youde was stunned.

After lasting less than a quarter of an hour, the Jiannu's first attack of the day was repelled.

After Kong Youde's troops retreated, only corpses were left around the Ming army camp, and the surrounding area was filled with wailing, from both the Ming army and the Eight Banners of Han who were injured and did not have time to retreat.

A group of soldiers carrying swords had already gone to clean up the battlefield. They helped their injured comrades to their feet, and when they met some Han Eight Bannermen who were not yet dead, they stabbed them with their knives.

Looking at the tragic battle situation around him, Sun Dasheng felt a little scared at this time.

Lu Xiangsheng sat next to a broken wooden cart, with the sword in his right hand pressed on the ground to support his body which was about to fall.

His armor was badly damaged, his messy hair was mixed with pieces of flesh, his back and right chest were still oozing blood, but he still held on with his teeth clenched tightly.

He knew in his heart that he couldn't fall down yet.

"Luckily, Lord Lu is still alive. I can finally give an explanation to the Admiral."

After the Jiannu retreated temporarily, Wei Shuangyong walked towards Lu Xiangsheng with a happy look on his face.

At this time, a medical officer had already begun to bandage Lu Xiangsheng's wounds. After taking off his armor and lining, Wei Shuangyong, who had just finished speaking, raised his eyebrows.

There were almost no intact patches of skin on Lu Xiangsheng's body. Whether on his chest or back, his entire body was covered with scars of varying sizes, including knife wounds and arrow wounds.

Lu Xiangsheng was seriously injured this time, especially the knife wound on his back. The wound was more than two inches long and looked particularly hideous.

If Wei Shuangyong had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the man in front of him was a civil servant.

It was the first time he had seen a civil servant working so hard, and for a moment his face was filled with admiration.

"Could the admiral that Lieutenant General Wei mentioned be the third son of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion?" Lu Xiangsheng asked while enduring the pain.

Although he had not returned to the capital for nearly a year, he still knew about some important appointments of the court. Lu Xiangsheng always felt that it was ridiculous for the court to appoint a young man as the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Camp.

"It turns out that Lord Lu knew it. It was Admiral Zhang." Wei Shuangyong replied.

Lu Xiangsheng looked puzzled. During the two days and nights of difficult fighting, he had expected support from Yang Sichang and even Gao Qiquan, but he never expected that the person who came would be Zhang Shikang, the admiral of the Beijing Camp.

"Why did Admiral Zhang want to save me? There aren't many troops stationed in the capital, so how can Your Majesty agree?"

He had been commanding troops for many years, and with just a quick glance at the soldiers behind Wei Shuangyong, he knew that these soldiers were elite and could not be compared with the soldiers in the Beijing camp whose military equipment had been neglected for a long time.

What's more, the biggest responsibility of the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Camp is to guard the capital. If the army in the capital is wealthy, it makes sense.

But now most of the troops are here to resist the Jiannu. There are not many more troops in the capital. Unless Your Majesty is not guilty, he will never agree to let the Beijing troops leave the city.

Not to mention asking the soldiers from the Beijing camp to rescue him. His Majesty even issued an edict to reprimand him a few days ago. How could he save him?

Wei Shuangyong knew that Lu Xiangsheng must have many questions in his mind, but in fact, even he didn't know why, so he could only repeat Zhang Shikang's words:

"The Admiral said that the Ming Dynasty cannot afford to lose King Lu."
