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

Yue Tuo watched the battle situation collapse and angrily cursed Kong Youde for being incompetent. He suddenly regretted not sending the heavy cavalry into battle.

But at this time the front line had completely collapsed, and he could only send heavy cavalry into battle to minimize his own casualties.

He had been running a high fever for some time, and now he was so anxious that he fainted after walking anxiously outside the camp for a while.

"The general has fainted! Someone come quickly!"

The commander of Yuetuo's personal guards immediately shouted loudly, and for a moment the Jiannu camp became chaotic.

"Admiral, this is Lord Lu. I have fulfilled my mission." Lieutenant General Wei Shuangyong of the Cavalry Army brought Lu Xiangsheng to find Zhang Shikang and said.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was only wearing leather armor due to multiple injuries on his body. Although his face was a little pale due to excessive blood loss, his eyes were still bright and powerful.

"Sir Lu, I have long heard of your name. I am Zhang Shikang, the admiral of the Beijing camp." Zhang Shikang bowed to Lu Xiangsheng and said with a smile on his face.

Lu Xiangsheng is tall and slender. Although he is not strong, his arms are longer than those of ordinary people, especially his right arm, which has a bulge of muscle and looks particularly strong and powerful.

After all, it was the first time that Zhang Shikang met such a powerful figure in history. He actually had a lot to say, but when it came to his lips, he didn't know where to start.

"Master Zhang, now is not the time to chat. I think we should immediately launch a pursuit of the Jiannu."

Lu Xiangsheng actually had a lot of questions to ask. Lieutenant General Wei had long said that Admiral Zhang went on the expedition to save him, but before that, the two of them didn't even know each other.

But after all, he has commanded troops for many years, so he can put all the doubts in his heart for the time being. The war is the most important thing.

"The Jiannu have many cavalrymen, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with them." Zhang Shikang said with some doubt.

After all, the Jiannu cavalry was famous. These guys were not only brave in combat, but also very good at riding and shooting. They could often turn back and shoot arrows during the retreat, playing kite to the pursuers.

Once the pursuers were defeated, they might even launch a counterattack. Although they won the battle, the Jiannu army was not even seriously injured.

Both Zhang Shikang and Sun Weifan decided to give up the pursuit and integrate their troops to make further plans.

"If they were all elite Jiannu troops, I would not pursue them easily. But if the elite Jiannu troops are mixed with the Han army, there is something to be done." Lu Xiangsheng thought for a moment and said:

"If it were me, I would definitely order a pursuit, but only against the Han troops. Sir Admiral, you see, the Jiannu camp seems to be a little chaotic. As long as these Han troops completely collapse, they can affect their friendly forces. This is an opportunity for battle.

Of course, if things are not going well, we can just retreat, and there won’t be much loss.”

Zhang Shikang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Lord Lu is right. Why don't you take full command of the Beijing camp soldiers?"

Zhang Shikang said this casually, and Lu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment.

"No kidding, Master Lu.

Sun Weifan, Niu Gang, Wen Bangguo, and all of you, from now on, you will obey Governor Lu's orders, do you hear me?"

Zhang Shikang then spoke to the senior generals of the Beijing camp present.

"I accept my order from my humble position!"

All the generals accepted the order in unison, and no one said anything to object, which moved Lu Xiangsheng very much.

During all the time before this, he had fought in cooperation with many governors and governors-general, and no one of them was not on guard against the other, as they were all worried that the other would seize their military power.

In order to belittle others and elevate themselves, they will never tell you about their fighter jets even if it means taking a risk.

He had been used to it over the years, and that was why he was not used to Zhang Shikang's ready handing over the command of the army to him.

"The opportunity for battle is fleeting, Lord Lu, don't waste time." Zhang Shikang knew that Lu Yanwang might have developed PTSD due to the previous trick, but he didn't care, and even said with a hint of sarcasm.

In terms of strategic vision, Zhang Shikang might be no worse than others, but in terms of specific tactical command and on-the-spot response, Zhang Shikang knew clearly that he could not catch up with the famous Lu Yanwang even if he flattered him.

The soldiers in the Beijing camp were his hard work, but it was precisely because of their hard work that he decided to hand them over to someone like Lu Xiangsheng who was more capable of commanding troops.

In this way, the casualties might be smaller.

"Okay." Lu Xiangsheng stared at Zhang Shikang for a long time, and finally made sure that the other party was not joking, and then he agreed.

After making the decision, he looked around at the generals of the Beijing camp and then became serious.

"Horsemen, listen up. Order your troops to separate the Jiannu heavy cavalry from the other troops. Do not engage in a head-on battle with them. Just keep your distance and entangle them so that they cannot interfere with other battles."

"I have obeyed your order!" Wei Shuangyong, the lieutenant general of the Ma Army Camp, immediately bowed and accepted the order.

"Infantry battalion, listen to your orders."

The deputy generals of the infantry battalion, Niu Gang and Wen Bangguo, immediately stood up.

"I order you to immediately pursue the Jiannu Kong Youde's troops. Remember to make a big move. If you can break into the enemy camp, shout that the general is dead and Kong Youde has escaped. In short, you must disrupt the enemy's formation as much as possible."

Lu Xiangsheng's words made Zhang Shikang's eyes widen. He had heard that Lu Xiangsheng was brave in battle and thought that Lu Xiangsheng was a very upright traditional general.

But after listening to Lu Xiangsheng's words, he realized that he was wrong. All is fair in war. As long as victory can be won, a little psychological tactics is nothing. Lu Xiangsheng is a Jinshi.

"Firearm Battalion." Lu Xiangsheng said again, but he didn't know who was the commander of the Firearm Battalion, so he could only give orders according to the troop organization.

Upon hearing that the Firearms Battalion also had a mission, Zhang Shikang quickly stood up straight and even stomped the ground with his right foot.

"Zhang Shikang, listen to my orders. Lord Lu, please speak."

The expression on Lu Xiangsheng's face changed. He seemed to have not expected Zhang Shikang to cooperate with him so well. But he was a guest after all, so his tone became somewhat gentler:

"Admiral Zhang, the firearms battalion does not need to pursue. They just need to line up nearby. If the situation becomes unfavorable, the firearms can be used to cover the retreat of other battalions."

"I will follow Lord Lu's military orders!" Zhang Shikang said in a loud and serious voice.

Lu Xiangsheng was very moved. He looked around at Sun Weifan, Niu Gang and others again.

"Remember, this is a rare opportunity. The commander of the Jiannu is Yuetuo, the Prince Cheng of the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty. If we can achieve victory, your contribution will be great.

If we win this battle, the reputation of the Beijing Camp will surely spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Go and execute the military order immediately!"

With just a few commands, Lu Xiangsheng mobilized the entire Beijing camp.

In addition, Lu Xiangsheng, in the name of the Governor-General of Xuanda, said that as long as the Beijing Camp won this battle, the reputation of the Beijing Camp would be known to the world, which made the already high morale of the Beijing Camp soldiers even more motivated.

As soon as the order was issued, the infantry battalion rushed towards the retreating Han army of the Jiannu army. As soon as they rushed to the gate of the Jiannu camp, they fought while shouting loudly:

"The general is dead! The general is dead!"

"Yue Tuo is dead, why don't you surrender?"

"Kong Youde was chopped down by me!"

"Your mother exploded, those who surrender will not be killed!"
