Chapter 616

The sea is boundless, as long as there is a boat, you can go wherever you want.Don't worry about ambushes, don't worry about encounters.Lu Xiangsheng stood at the simple wharf of Zhangzi Island at the mouth of the Yalu River, and looked at the large lucky boats parked all over the place. He said with emotion in his heart that if Jianlu had a navy, it would not be so easy.

The hussar battalion was transferred from Lushun to this Zhangzi Island for a rest for a day. Starting from the landing tomorrow, it will no longer be easy, and it will continue to move continuously like last time.

This time, because once we go ashore to fight, there will be no stop, and in terms of fatigue, I am afraid that it will be more tiring than last time.Because Wei Mulan's body has just recovered, such a high-intensity battle is really worrying, so Lu Xiangsheng persuaded Wei Mulan to stay in Lushun, to be the emperor's eyes and ears, and to coordinate things for the arrival of the new army.

According to the agreement, starting tomorrow, on Guan Ning's side, Deputy General Cao Wenzhao will also lead a thousand cavalry troops to participate in the operation.It can be said that the two cavalry armies, the east and the west, would penetrate the Jianlu's ribs like two steel knives.

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while, and subconsciously wanted to talk to Wei Mulan, but immediately found that Wei Mulan was not around, and couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, he suddenly felt that without Wei Mulan by his side, he felt that many things were inconvenient, and he seemed to be deaf and blind.

On the Liaodong side, the autumn harvest is about to begin; on the North Korean side, it is estimated that it will be around this time.According to the news from Li Deming, Jianlu in North Korea is also urging Mr. Guanghai to arrange for people to harvest grain.If you want to connect the front and back battles, you have to hurry up!

After thinking for a long time, Lu Xiangsheng returned to the crude camp to check the rest of the soldiers of the hussar battalion, and finally fell asleep early with them.

The next afternoon, at Tangzhanbao, Jianlu guard sent off the messenger from Shenyang, and immediately summoned his men and said: "The emperor ordered that Tangzhanbao is close to the Yalu River, and may be attacked by the Ming army in Pidao. .So the grain in the field cannot be harvested until it is ripe..."

Upon hearing this, one of his subordinates, who seemed to be a civil servant, immediately said in surprise: "My lord, if the grain is harvested in advance, the production will be reduced a lot. This year, our Tangzhanbao's grain is already in a hurry. If we reduce production again , what can we do next spring?"

The guard of Tang Zhanbao is naturally aware of this, and he also feels that Shenyang is a bit unfounded.At least on the side of Tangzhanbao, it has been a long time since I saw the Ming army.

Seeing that he hesitated, someone said again immediately: "My lord, Zhenjiang Fort is on the side of the Yalu River. If the Ming army wants to attack, they must attack Zhenjiang Fort first. The servant thought that it would be better to send someone to Zhenjiang Fort. Look over there, even if the Ming army is coming, we can give an early warning, so we won't waste food in vain!"

"That's right, my lord, how many slaves did we die to grow those grains, it's a pity to waste them like this!"

"My lord, it's not like those Dongjiang Ming troops have never fought before. I can guarantee that they will not dare to come to our side. Otherwise, when my Qing cavalry army comes out, where can they escape?"

"..."

Seeing the discussion below, Jianlu guard thought for a moment, finally nodded and said: "Okay, I also feel that the food is a bit wasteful! Besides, I don't believe it. There are only a few islands in the area, and they can be raised all year round. The cavalry army? Are the Ming army so rich?"

Having said that, he changed his order and sent people to Zhenjiang Fort, but he also asked people to make arrangements to make the Han slaves ready to harvest the grain, and when the grain was ripe, they would harvest it as quickly as possible.

For this reason, the guard general Jianlu went up to the top of the city and looked at the fertile fields in the distance. Seeing that half of them were already golden, he couldn't help saying: "With this food, there should be fewer deaths in the spring next year." !"

The situation of Tangzhanbao is a common situation for Jianlu in Liaodong.There is a shortage of food everywhere, and when there is no danger in sight, it is natural to be reluctant to harvest food in advance.

That night, a full moon hung in the sky, and the bright moonlight dimmed the night covering the earth.However, if you are far away, you will naturally not be able to see clearly, after all, it is night.

On the top of the city, the guards on duty huddled under the wall and stood guard.Although military discipline is strict, it is not in a wartime state, and whoever stands guard in a serious manner is just messing with the time, looking forward to being laid off and going to sleep soon.

Suddenly, a Jianlu stretched out his hand and pushed his dozing companion beside him, saying, "Listen, there seems to be a sound outside!"

When his companion heard it, he lost all sleepiness. He listened carefully, and it seemed that there was indeed some movement. He stood up and looked where the sound came from, and he couldn't help but asked a little suspiciously: "There is no official road over there, and there is no road, right?"

"Yes, there are farmlands over there." The previous Jianlu nodded suspiciously and said, "That voice seems to be coming from over there, and it seems that the movement is not small. Could it be..."

He hesitated for a while, and then continued: "Could it be that the animals are ruining the food?"

The other person listened carefully for a while, and his face changed a little: "It seems that there are still a lot, no, I have to report this to the adults!"

"So what if I tell my lord, it's dark today!"

"..."

While they were talking, other Jianlu soldiers also found out, and after the discussions started, someone finally went to report to the Shangguan.

Before Jianlu guards rushed over, they saw a fire suddenly appearing in the direction of the farmland. In the farmland, the fire grew from small to large, and there were still people's shadows under the fire.

"Someone is destroying the grain fields!" Some Jianlu soldiers shouted.

"Ming army, it must be the Ming army coming!"

"Report to your lord, the Ming army is here to grab food!"

"..."

The Jianlu guard was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately prepared to lead the army out, but was shot at the city gate several times by random arrows. Fearing that the city would be lost, he immediately closed the city gate and waited for dawn.Otherwise, if you insist on going out without finding out the details of the Ming army, what if the Ming army actually intends to attack the city?
As a result, Jianlu could only watch the grain fields outside the city being ruined by the Ming army.Many Jiankui cursed the Ming army bitterly, what are they doing wasting good food, just stealing it away, and it would be great to send troops to chase it back at dawn!
By dawn, there was no trace of the Ming army, and the food was almost completely ruined. Although part of it could be salvaged, it is certain that this year's grain harvest will be at least halved.

The Jianlu guard was so angry that he was about to burst into tears, but judging from the signs at the scene, the Ming army came with cavalry troops, and there were quite a few of them. Without knowing the details of the Ming army, he carefully sent out horses to the surrounding area, trying to Tracking the traces of the Ming army, while sending people to report to the higher authorities, the most important energy is to save the grain in the grain fields, otherwise, a single grain will not be harvested in a few days.
