Chapter 609 Admonition from Shenyang

But the current side of Lushun is only Jinzhou Zhongzuo.The goal of the first step is to cut off the connection between Jinzhou Zhongzuo and Jinzhouwei, and then capture Lushun as a supply point and rest point for the follow-up army.

Lu Xiangsheng looked in the direction of Lushun from a distance, and thought to himself: The last time was just harassment, and it also meant to show the enemy weakness. I don't know if the attack this time can make the Jianlu defenders underestimate the enemy, so that Lushun can be successfully captured.

Thinking of this, he went ashore, and first dispatched troops to the soldiers on the shore.

Lushun is a famous natural ice-free port in later generations. It has excellent conditions for berthing ships and is therefore used as a military port.In the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, sent two generals Ma Yun and Ye Wang to take a boat from Penglai, Shandong to land here and recover Liaodong. Because of the smooth sailing at sea, Shizikou was renamed Lushunkou, which has been used ever since.

If it is not to cut off the connection between Lushun and Jinzhou, if it is just to land and attack Lushun, it is completely possible to land directly at Lushun Wharf with the advantage of the number of people. After all, the landing conditions here are very good.

In the port, there are some simple thatched houses scattered, which are lived by fishermen who live by the sea.However, what they have is only small boats, and they can only catch fish here in the port, and cannot go out to sea, so the daily harvest is not too much.But even so, they still have to supply the best of the caught fish to the Jianlu masters in Lushun City, and life can be very hard.

About one mile away from the port is Lushun City.At this time, Lushun's geographical location can only be said to be very remote, located on the edge of Liaodong.If it weren't for the occasional merchant ships from Daming to stop, there would be almost no outsiders.

After the Liaodong Jianlu rebellion, this place was once an important garrison point for the Dongjiang Ming army. Almost all the Ming troops who came from Dengzhou had to rest here for supplies, but it was still lively.However, after the automatic Jianlu captured here, there were no outsiders at all, and it seemed very deserted.

Considering the importance of this place to the Dongjiang Ming army, Jianlu stationed a Niulu Ezhen here for a long time, with 500 soldiers of various ethnic groups in Liaodong under his command, and a group of Han people under his command. Army Eight Banners, the number is about [-] people.

These Jianlu knew the importance of this place to the Dongjiang Ming army, so they were usually more vigilant. The city gate was usually only open for half a day during the day, and only one door was opened.Under the gate of the city, a group of soldiers were checking there with vigor.

"My lord, please do me a favor. If all these fish are taken away, the villain will not be able to exchange for food!" A skinny old fisherman begged a soldier.

The head of the soldier was from the Korean ethnic group. He looked vicious and waved impatiently: "There are still fish, what are you talking about, get out!"

"My lord, the remaining fish don't look good. I'm afraid they won't be able to be exchanged for food, so you can keep two for the villain!" The old fisherman still wanted to intercede, hoping that the soldier would show kindness.

Who would have thought that the soldier would grab the fish basket directly, throw it out forcefully, and then sternly shouted: "Get lost!"

When other fishermen waiting to enter the city saw it, they hid far away.There is no way, if it is the Ming army, they can still come forward and reason.But there is no reason for these Jianlu.This is not bad, when the old slave is about to be changed, they probably cut it with a single knife.

The old fisherman had no choice but to pick up fish, but he was resentful in his heart.I used to think that the officers and soldiers were not good things, but compared with these Jianlu, the officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty were much better.I don't know when the imperial court will send troops to kill all these prisoners!
He was thinking about it when suddenly two or three flying horses came from the official road, and the rapid sound of hoofbeats knocked people's hearts: "The Ming army is here..."

Hearing this, the fishermen outside the city immediately scattered like birds and beasts, while the Jianlu on the top of the city immediately rang the alarm gong, and the sound of clanging and clanging quickly spread throughout the city.

When Niu Luerzhen Barosh heard this, he immediately pushed away the two maids and strode towards the lobby without arranging his clothes, revealing his fluffy chest hair.He had just arrived, so he shouted and asked, "How many ships did the Ming army come?"

"There is no Ming army ship at sea, but the Ming army was discovered on the way to Jinzhou!"

When Barosh heard it, he couldn't help but wondered: "How many Ming troops are there, and what are they going to do? Are they going to attack Jinzhou?"

"About 300 Ming troops seem to be coming towards us in Lushun!"

After hearing this, Barosh was a little confused about the situation, so he ordered loudly: "Go to the top of the city and have a look!"

At this time, after the alarm gong sounded, the city was under martial law, and no one could be seen on the street.In fact, Lushun originally had a small population, even in normal times, there were not many people on the streets.

Barosh soon arrived at the top of the city, and first went to the seaside to look at the top of the city, but he did not find any boats on the sea.Then he went to observe the direction of the official road to Jinzhou.Faintly, I found that the Ming army was indeed approaching in a very distant place, just like the last time the Ming army came to attack the city.

"My lord, it's the Dongjiang Ming army who came to seek death again. You can't use a bull's knife to kill a chicken, and the villain can lead the army to defeat them!" The commander of the Han army came to ask for a fight with disdain.

Barosh wanted to nod his head, but when he remembered the warning from Shenyang, he still shook his head and said, "The Dongjiang Ming army abnormally did not land in Lushun. I'm afraid there is some conspiracy. Let's have a look first!"

Since Liaoyang and Anshan post castles were attacked, Shenyang issued an order saying that the new governor of Dongjiang was extremely brave and his subordinate battalions were good at fighting the battle, and that all localities should not underestimate the enemy.If you lose your city or land, you will be punished severely.

Therefore, when the Ming army came to attack the city last time, Barosh also defended the city, and did not open the door until he confirmed the strength of the Ming army, killing the Ming army back.Although he saw that it was still an ordinary Dongjiang Ming army at this time, he was still a little more cautious.

The fishermen outside the city did not hide in their thatched houses.Because once the Ming army attacked Lushun, those thatched houses would definitely suffer.Most of these fishermen hid in the port, or simply boarded their own fishing boats and watched from afar.As long as they are not affected by the flames of war, generally speaking, they will be fine.

At this time, the Ming army in the distance was closer, and there were only about 300 Ming troops. The team was disorganized, and even the fishermen watching the battle couldn't help but shake their heads.

"What kind of troops did the imperial court send to fight Lushun, that's all? I can see that it's not good!"

"Last time, there seemed to be more people than this. Seeing the menacing attack, Jianlu... Once the Qing soldiers attacked, they escaped faster than anything else!"

"..."

Obviously, none of these fishermen who watched the excitement were optimistic about these Ming troops.The old fisherman from before was also there, and he sighed and said, "For such an important place in Lushun, the imperial court only sent such people here. Is it perfunctory, and they don't want Lushun anymore? Are we going to be bullied by Jianlu for the rest of our lives... "

As he was talking, the son next to him quickly pulled him and said in a low voice: "Father, be careful that someone is going to inform you!"
