Chapter 610
Hearing what he said, the people around were immediately unhappy: "Who are you talking about? What's the benefit of going to inform? Can the Jianlu be given food or drink? Why don't you just scold them a few words and just tell them?" Whatever they do, scolding is light!"

The old fisherman quickly apologized to his neighbors, then changed the subject and said, "The imperial army didn't come from the sea this time. If they were defeated, they probably wouldn't be able to escape. There would be many casualties!"

"That's right, there are too many casualties. I don't think there will be such an attack in the future." The neighbor took up the topic and said, "If the Ming army doesn't come again in the future, Jianlu has nothing to worry about. I think our future will be even more difficult!"

"..."

As they discussed, they were not optimistic about the attacking Ming army, let alone their own future.The conclusion of the discussion has triggered a pessimistic atmosphere among fishermen.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that they have always lived in Lushun and are isolated from the outside world.Otherwise, they would not be so pessimistic if they knew that Governor Denglai had directly attacked Shenyang, and even took down Liaoyang and Anshan Post Fort.

While they were discussing, more than 300 Ming troops arrived about one mile away from the city, not far from the thatched houses on the outskirts of Lushun. On the ground, they seem to be scolding Jianlu.

"..." All the fishermen were speechless. The Ming army that came this time was worse than the one that came last time. At least last time, the Ming army managed to attack the city once, but they quickly withdrew when they saw that they were unable to attack.This time it was a good thing, it stopped so far away from the city, just scolding there, can you scold the Jianlu in the city to death?

On the head of Lushun City, Barosh looked at the movements of the Ming army outside the city, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "What are they doing?"

"It seems...it seems to be scolding Zhan!" The Han man listened carefully for a while before complaining.

When Barosh heard this, he couldn't help showing disdain on his face.According to what he knew about the Dongjiang Ming army, he was afraid that these Ming troops came to attack the city under the pressure of their superiors, but they were afraid of casualties, so they didn't dare to attack, they only dared to stand at a distance and curse.

Thinking of this, he ordered: "Don't worry about them, just look at them."

Just like that, the two sides lived in peace, the onlookers were a little bored, and some even rushed back to their thatched huts to get some things, or some simply went fishing by the fishing boat, so they could eat more .

After scolding for a while, those Ming soldiers seemed to be tired of scolding, and they all sat on the ground to rest in a mess, without a formation at all.

But Barosh frowned. These Ming soldiers fought and didn't fight, and didn't leave after scolding them. What did they want?

Thinking of this, he observed the outside of the city with some doubts, and suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help being shocked: "Could it be that these Ming soldiers are here to hold us back, and then go to grab the grain in the field?"

Now this season is the time when the fields are about to harvest.These Ming soldiers came ashore at this time, but they didn't come to fight. According to their poor appearance, they must have come ashore to grab food!

Although Lushun is located in a remote area, it is on the protruding part of Liaodong, but there are some good fields, but it is not under the city, but on the other side of the mountain.These good fields will naturally be cultivated by Han slaves.

Thinking of this, Barosh couldn't stand it any longer.He knew that the Ming army would definitely not only have these things in front of them.It is even very possible that their large troops are there to grab food.And these are just here to monitor Lushun City.

There is no room for loss of food, otherwise the top will definitely blame it.Thinking of this, Barosh immediately issued an order to send people from every family in the city to go to the top of the city to help defend.And he mobilized more than 600 people under his command, ready to leave the city.

He rode on the horse and ordered loudly: "The Ming army must be grabbing food. After defeating the monitoring Ming army, listen to my order. The Ming soldiers will kill less and harass them when the Jinzhou reinforcements arrive. Let’s annihilate these Ming troops who are robbing food!”

After issuing the order, he specifically told his confidantes that after riding five fast horses out of the city to kill and retreat the Ming army, he went straight to Jinzhou for help without stopping.

After the arrangement was completed, the gates of Lushun City opened wide, and teams of Jianlu rushed out.

"Look, look, Jianlu has come out!" A fisherman was bored with fishing, looked up and couldn't help being surprised.

When the others heard this, they all turned their heads to watch, and sure enough, countless Jianren poured out of Lushun's city gate.There are even thirty or fifty cavalry troops, it can be said that almost all of them have come out.

Seeing this, the old fisherman said nervously, "It's not good, those Ming soldiers are going to die a lot!"

While saying this, the fishermen looked at the Ming army again.Sure enough, those Ming soldiers also found Jianlu leaving the city at the first time, they all panicked and ran back one after another, and even some Ming soldiers deviated from the official road and jumped into the mountain next to the official road.

"Hey, let's do whatever we want in the future, I'm afraid the court will take back Lushun, I'm afraid I won't see it in this life!" The old fisherman sighed after watching it.

Hearing this, his neighbor seemed to be comforting himself and said, "No matter what, whatever, we were often bullied when the Ming army was here!"

What he meant was that both left and right were bullying, no matter who was here, it didn't matter.

But the old fisherman shook his head and retorted: "The Ming army is not as ruthless as Jianlu. If there is a choice, of course it would be better if the Ming army is here. It's just a pity..."

"That's what I mean. No, the Ming army doesn't have that ability, so what can I do, I can only say so!" The neighbor said, watching the official road and stopped talking.

Most of the fishermen are also watching the battle. For them, there is no entertainment program at all, and it is just a pastime.

However, they suddenly discovered that the Jianlu army seemed to be rushing away along the official road, regardless of the Ming army fleeing to the mountain.This situation surprised the fishermen again.

"What's going on, Jianlu is in such a hurry, as if rushing to reincarnate!"

"Hurry up and reincarnate!" The old fisherman took the words, suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help saying: "Could it be to grab food?"

"Grabbing food?" A fisherman repeated, and then immediately echoed, "Yes, it must be grabbing food. In the past, it was the Jianlu who came to grab the food, but now the Jianlu is occupying it, and the Ming army is coming to grab the food. It must be like this! "

"But, can the Ming army beat Jianlu?" The old fisherman's son finally couldn't hold back, and interjected.

Hearing this, the enthusiasm of the fishermen suddenly decreased a lot.Yes, Jianlu is invincible in field battles. When they come to grab food, the Ming army can only stay in the city and watch.But when the Ming army came to rob food, once the Jian captives were dispatched, could the food still be robbed?

The answer is obvious, the fishermen shook their heads and sighed, and after watching for a while, they each did their own thing.However, they didn't expect that after less than half an hour, the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from the official road, coming from far and near to Lushun.

 The next chapter will be around five o'clock in the afternoon.
