Shicheng Island is located in the northern part of the Yellow Sea, at the eastern end of the Changshan Islands. It is about 7 miles from Zhuanghe to the north and about 7 miles from Shoulong Island to the east.

This island is about 25 square kilometers, with lush forests and good vegetation on it. It is a garrison of the Ming Army in Dongjiang.

There were not many Ming troops here, and the pier was even simpler, but at this time it was the same as before. The sea was densely filled with ships, and there were three bows of No. 1 blessed ships, which were very large, and there were still people on the ship. It was faintly heard the neighing sound of horses on the sea, which was very strange.

The simple dock was already crowded. On the boats that were heading to the dock, teams of Ming soldiers lined up to get off the boat under the shouts of the officers. It can be seen that they should have been on the boat for a long time, and they were all walking around and falling into water while walking on the pedals, which immediately caused a stir and a noise.

There were not many people on one of the ships, and compared with the other ships, it was obviously relatively empty. In the cabin, two Ming generals were sitting kneeling and talking.

"Can Governor Lu really lead the Dongjiang people to annihilate Jianlu's grain protection team? I always feel a little unbelievable!"

"I don't believe it either. Annihilation and defeat are far from being apart! And if you want to protect the food, you must send elite troops. It is said that the second time I deliberately lured Lu Zhongcheng to go, but it was almost wiped out. It's really hard to believe it!"

"Yes, that's the reason! Lu Zhongcheng is indeed powerful. He had seen it outside Changli City. However, in that battle, it was said that Lu Zhongcheng's servants were killed and injured. Without those servants as their helpers, they rely on those people in Dongjiang, haha..."

Obviously, neither of these two generals looked down on the Ming army in Dongjiang. But it is no wonder that as the elite cavalry of the Guanning Army, they were regular regular troops; and the Ming army in Dongjiang was actually just some Han people who fled to the island in Liaodong. In the eyes of these regular troops, how many combat power can they have!

They were talking when suddenly the guards outside the ship came in and reported that the ship had already leaned on the horse's head.

After hearing this, the two stood up. One of them almost stood firm and couldn't help but curse, then slowly walked out of the cabin and looked out.

Through the chaotic pier, I looked at the shore not far away, and saw a Ming army soldier standing straight every three or four feet away. Even if the cold sea breeze blows, they don’t see them moving.

On a platform not far from the shore, a group of Ming army generals were watching the situation at the dock. Among them, there were five people wearing black flying fish suits, which made people know at a glance that they were the Jinyiwei lieutenant. However, these Jinyiwei lieutenant are still surrounded by a tall civil servant.

This civil servant was very eye-catching, wearing a robe in a robe. Among the group of military generals, he was like a crane standing out in a flock of chickens. He was very eye-catching. Whether on the dock or on the boat, as long as someone looked at the shore, he could notice him at first glance. There was no doubt that this person was naturally Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai.

The two Ming generals on the ship were surprised to see it. They did not expect that the Governor Denglai was waiting for them at the dock. At the same time, they were also surprised by the Ming soldiers on the shore. Both of them were people who had been in the army for a long time, so they could naturally see the elites of the Ming soldiers on the shore at a glance. Not to mention their strong body, but this military discipline surprised them. Are these still the Ming army in the Dongjiang River that they had heard of before, and the Han people who escaped from the hinterland of Liaodong?

The two of them looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other's eyes. They could understand that the reason why the Ming army in Dongjiang had such a big change must be because of Governor Denglai. Thinking of this, they turned back and looked at the conspicuous Lu Xiangsheng on the platform, and did not dare to neglect. They immediately moved, stepped on the dock from the swaying boat, and hurried towards the platform on the shore.

Or maybe they had been sitting on the boat for a long time, and their steps seemed a little weak at first, but when they were about to reach the shore, they seemed to have adjusted and walked with great force.

The two of them arrived in front of Lu Xiangsheng, and immediately clasped their fists and reported loudly: "After the order of the elder, Huang Degong (Zuo Liangyu) came to report to Lord Zhongcheng!"

"Thank you two!" Lu Xiangsheng smiled and nodded and said, "How many people have been there in total?"

Zuo Liangyu seemed to be a little smarter and replied first: "Return to the Lord Zhongcheng, there are a total of 5023 cavalry, but the road is not smooth, and now there are only 497 cavalry!"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he frowned, his face became a little more serious, and immediately ordered: "The twenty-six soldiers will report the deaths according to the deaths! No, in this way, you will report the names and origins of the soldiers who died to our officials, and we will apply to the court for them to enter the Daming Zhonglie Hall."

To enter the Ming Zhonglie Hall, it is natural to review it, and it is not something you can enter just by wanting it. Now that Governor Denglai applies to enter the Ming Zhonglie Hall, it is equivalent to being protected by him. As Governor Denglai, it is basically a foregone conclusion that entering the Zhonglie Hall.

When Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu heard this, they looked overjoyed and quickly agreed. Of course, they hoped to have a good explanation for the death of their soldiers. Now that they can enter the Daming Zhonglie Hall, not only will their heroic spirits enjoy the incense forever, but they can also benefit their families. This is the best outcome for being a soldier.

Lu Xiangsheng looked up at the chaotic scene on the pier, and then ordered Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu: "After the whole team is finished, we will rest and recover on the island first, and the place has been arranged for you."

"I will obey the order!" Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu also looked back at the chaotic scene at the dock. The straight figure of the Ming army soldiers on the shore flashed in their minds. They couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and quickly responded loudly.

After Huang Degong responded, hesitated for a while, then clasped his fists and said, "Sir Zhongcheng, when will the last attack be launched?"

He was still a little dissatisfied. No matter what, they were the elite of Guanning Army and the cavalry. Now they were just a little unbearable because they had been on the boat for a long time, and it was understandable that they were a little unbearable. He wanted to find their superiority to the Ming Army in Dongjiang on land.

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng didn't think about it more, but just replied: "You can just wait for the military order. But there is one thing you should remember to recover as soon as possible and be on standby at any time. I don't want to see the fighter jets appear. When the military order is issued, you have not recovered yet!"

When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he complained to Huang Degong in his heart. If he didn't say that, he wouldn't have attracted these words from Lord Zhongcheng. As a last resort, he clasped his fists and expressed his opinion with Huang Degong: "I will obey the order!"
