332 Unrepentant

The arrival of the Qingshui Master is overwhelming, and this formation alone is shocking enough!

The back road was cut off, and Lushun City became an isolated city.

One truth that anyone can understand is that the lonely city cannot be guarded.

Sooner or later, Lushun will definitely be captured by the Qing Dynasty! Even if it is not attacked, it is just besieged. How much food can you save in the small Lushun City? Without food, even if Lu Xiangsheng is brave enough, no matter how elite the Ming soldiers are, they will definitely be done!

What’s more important is that under such terrain, the Ming army in Lushun could not even break through! In short, the Ming army in the city is destined to be a dead end!

At this time, they must be so scared that they want to wet their pants!

Thinking of this, from Dai Shan, the commander of the entire army, to those fake Tartars, everyone became more relaxed. Lushun City is indeed difficult to chew, but it is not going to end up being finished!

Only a small number of people, who had a good relationship with the Tartars who had already died in the battle in the siege, would feel regret and sad. Originally, they could not die!

On the sea, King Zhishun Shangkexi was a little confused. Logically speaking, there should be Ming army warships in this harbor. Even if there are not many, there must be some! But what I see now is not only without warships, but also without transport ships! Where have the ships of the Ming Navy gone?

Along the way, he was chasing a Ming Navy warship, but as he chased him, he lost his trace at night. He originally thought that he must have escaped here. The result was obvious that he was wrong!

Could it be that when he saw himself leading such a huge navy, he knew he would be defeated, he threw the Ming army in Lushun City and ran away? But wasn’t there a Governor of the Ming State in this city? Those navy generals dared to throw him away?

For a moment, he was really a little confused! However, when he saw the Qing army on the land cheering after seeing them appear, he temporarily threw these doubts behind his head. He stood on the deck majestic, pointed to the Ming army at the head of Lushun City in front of him and shouted loudly: "You have broken your retreat, and surrender to the Qing Dynasty quickly, otherwise there will be a dead end!"

On the top of the city of Lushun, when many Ming soldiers saw so many Manqing Navy warships coming, they did get in a state of disturbance. However, when they saw Lu Xiangsheng's figure, they settled down again.

Of course, ordinary Ming soldiers did not know about the overall combat plan. But they trusted their Governor, that's all!

Lu Xiangsheng's face did not change much at all. He strode towards the city on the south side of the sea. Looking at the shouting Tartars, it was obvious from the banner that this person was the so-called King Zhishun Shang Kexi from Jianlu.

Before coming over, Lu Xiangsheng naturally had some understanding of the situation of the Jianlu in Liaodong. Therefore, he knew that Shang Kexi, and now seeing that he was coming to persuade him to surrender, he couldn't help but get angry and shouted sternly: "Are you a rebel general of the Ming Dynasty, Shang Kexi, the former commander of the Dongjiang Town Navy?"

This is the kind of yelling and scolding in a condescending way. Ban Zhifu, who was next to him, felt that he was weaker in his aura. After all, no one would like to hear the word "Rebellion General" and shouted loudly: "Is the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty the King of Zhishun? You are the treacherous minister, the governor of Baoding, Lu Xiangsheng?"

In fact, there is no need to go back. These old generals of the Ming Dynasty should not be too familiar with the Ming Dynasty official robes. On the top of the city, in addition to Lu Xiangsheng, can they find a second chief official in the border area?

Therefore, Shang Kexi did not wait for Lu Xiangsheng to speak, and shouted loudly: "To this day, the Zhu Dynasty has been in charge of being foolish and traitors, and the border affairs are deteriorating every day. The soldiers are clamoring, and they are all in the same way. Since you have the courage to come to Liaodong, you are also considered a hero. As the saying goes, good birds and trees are broken, I will advise you to be a hero who knows the times and become a hero. I have joined the Qing Dynasty early. Maybe the emperor will be happy and will also give you a king of different surnames to share glory and wealth. How about it?"

"Shut up!" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but shout angrily, "For the sake of glory and wealth, even ancestors don't want! He serves Jianlu as the master, is a slave of Jianlu, shaves his hair and changes clothes, and regards his enemies as his father, your parents, your wife and children, and other relatives and friends killed by Jianlu, how do you face it after you die?"

Many of the sailors in the Manqing Naval Division were soldiers from Dongjiang Town in the past, and were from the Han people in Liaodong. They all had a grudge against Jianlu. What they had deliberately forgotten was raised by Lu Xiangsheng at this time. Many of them suddenly lost the joy of winning the war on their faces. Some people even had a hint of pain in their eyes.

Shang Kexi's expression also changed when he heard it, but it was not because he felt ashamed, but because he was afraid that Lu Xiangsheng's words would affect the morale of the army, so he immediately turned to look. Sure enough, he found that Lu Xiangsheng's words had an impact on the morale of his soldiers.

So he immediately turned his head, stared at Lu Xiangsheng on the top of the city, and shouted loudly: "I kindly advise you, since you are obsessed with it, then go to die!"

Lu Xiangsheng originally wanted to persuade him to turn back in time. In this way, he could avoid Shang Kexi's death penalty, and maybe he could ask for his merits according to his performance. However, since Shang Kexi was so obsessed, he was too lazy to waste his words.

He saw his tiger eyes scan the ships on the sea, looking at the warships with the North Korean flag, and then shouted loudly: "Who is the commander of the North Korean navy? Can you help the evil and invade the Ming Dynasty? What are the consequences?"

Of course Park Jin-woo was there. He saw that the governors of the Ming Dynasty were all in this lonely city. To be honest, he admired him very much. Such a courageous senior civil servant could not find any of them in North Korea at least.

However, now North Korea has surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and the sect leader is not the Ming Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty. What's the use of just talking like this?

He was thinking that Lu Xiangsheng could not see the response, so he pointed at the Korean warships with his finger and shouted again: "If you are obsessed with it, his Japanese official will definitely submit a report to the emperor to attack Korea and swear to destroy Korea!"

The Ming Taizu once had an order that North Korea would not conquer the country and would always be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. This has always been true. North Korea was invaded by Japan and was about to destroy the country. It was also the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty who sent troops to expedition to drive Japan into the sea for North Korea.

However, North Korea has not only changed its rebellion as the sect leader, but has even sent troops to attack the Ming army. In this case, Taizu's orders were naturally not required to be abide by. What Lu Xiangsheng said was definitely not just a scare. At this time, he made up his mind to report to Emperor Chongzhen to send troops to attack North Korea in the future.

Before Park Jin-woo could say anything when he heard Lu Xiangsheng's words, Shang Kexi laughed and said loudly: "Now, you, a dog official, are you still trying to threaten North Korea? Are you still trying to struggle to death when you die?"

Speaking of this, he turned to look at Park Jin-woo and shouted sternly: "Reply, I want to hear, are you North Korea loyal to the Qing Dynasty?"

Under the current circumstances, if the North Korean navy wants to turn against the water, then Shang Kexi will be over. However, he knows the North Koreans, so he is not afraid at all, so he forces Park Jin-woo to express his opinion.

Park Zhenyu had no choice but to answer loudly in the Ming Dynasty's official language: "Governor General, don't waste any more slap in the moment of death. The last one will come to obey the Qing Dynasty's orders according to the will of the country. Now he has an enemy-to-we-in relationship with the Ming Dynasty. Recognize the reality and give up!"

After saying that, he added a secret sentence in his heart: "You are all going to die here, how can you report to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty? If you really have the ability to conquer North Korea, you can destroy the Qing Dynasty in advance before you can agree!"

Because the Ming Dynasty's preferential treatment to Korea throughout the years and the practice of Jianlu damaged the interests of the monarchs and ministers of the North, they actually thought about the Ming Dynasty in their hearts. Of course, that's all.

In the original history, after the Jianlu conquered North Korea, he did not ask for troops except for asking for property. However, now, under the instigation of Emperor Chongzhen's butterfly effect, the Qing Dynasty encountered a dilemma that had never been encountered in history. Therefore, not only did he ask for more food and supplies from North Korea, but he also asked to send a navy to assist in the war.

In this way, if North Korea waved its sword and the navy cut off the Ming army's retreat, there would be no friendship. If you really have loyalty and righteousness, then the manqing navy had no power to resist at all. Receiving the Ming army to retreat to the sea would be equivalent to saving the Ming Governor and thousands of official troops, which was somewhat repaid to the Ming Dynasty's grace for several times that year. However, it was not!

Besides, when Lu Xiangsheng saw that they were all stubborn and sneered in his heart, he thought: It’s good that this is the case, and the true feelings can be seen in times of distress. At least in their opinion, the Ming army is in a desperate situation, and they all think that they are dead and have no scruples. Then, when you look back, you will cry!

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng no longer wasted his saliva and immediately sent an order to be on guard against Lushun.

Shang Kexi and others were a little reluctant to see Lu Xiangsheng ignore them. While they were shouting at the Ming army, they sent people to contact Daishan at the same time. This task fell on Ban Zhifu.

On the sea side, when Jianlu attacked the city, of course, there was no attack, nor could he attack. Therefore, after Ban Zhifu got off the ship, he didn't see anything. He excitedly walked around the city and rushed to the place where Daishan Shuai Banner was.

His excitement was understandable. After all, because of the arrival of the navy, the Ming army in Lushun became a turtle in the jar. The city of Lushun will sooner or later be from the Qing Dynasty, and the navy has made great contributions.

However, when Ban Zhifu got on the shore and went around to the side, he saw the scene after the war at the city.

After all, he was a veteran who had fought for many years. Just after a glance, he could almost infer what the siege looked like at that time. He could really infer that he could make him stand at a moment, and he stared at the low-rise city of Lushun in shock. He was a little confused about why the Qing Dynasty suffered such heavy losses in the siege of the city?

After a long time, he took steps and continued to move forward. However, this time, he took three steps and looked back again, without the initial excitement. From his expression, he could tell that he really couldn't understand why the Ming army in the city was so powerful? He didn't have the appearance of the Ming army in his memory at all!

It was not until he was about to enter the central army tent that he came to his senses, rubbed his face, rubbed all the thoughts in his heart, and then squeezed out a smile on his face, and went inward to report to Dai Shan about the situation of the navy.

"What?" Dai Shan's face darkened when he heard this: "All the way, did he not fight the Ming Navy?"

He had never seen the Ming Dynasty navy before, and thought that the Ming Dynasty navy had just gone out and would fight a battle first when he met the Qing Dynasty navy.

"Yes, Prince!" Ban Zhifu knelt there and replied, "Prince... My prince thought that when the Ming Dynasty naval master saw the huge Qing Shui Master, he knew he would be defeated and he should have fled back to Dengzhou."

This is the only possible answer that Shang Kexi thought about for a long time and thought of.

Thinking about it, Ming Kingdom must have known that there was no shipyard in the Qing Dynasty. Now more than 300 ships suddenly appeared. In just a short time, they would definitely scare them to death.

Of course, just in case, Shang Kexi also sent a ship to the nearby island to investigate to see if the Ming Dynasty ship did not escape back to Dengzhou, but hid.

He didn't care much about this situation. So what if he hides, do you dare to attack such a huge navy? Are you crazy?

After Dai Shan probably understood the situation, he began to get into trouble again. Nothing else, just for food.

I originally thought that this time I attacked Lushun, I brought the artillery battalion of Tianyou Army, and the army was several times that of the Ming army, and it was still the elite of the Qing Dynasty. In addition, the huge navy was transferred from North Korea, which cut off the Ming army's retreat at sea. In this way, it would only take one or two days to capture Lushun. Therefore, there were not so many military rations on it.

But after this battle, Dai Shan knew in his heart that if he fought against Lushun, he would not know how many lives he would have to be filled. The Qing Dynasty had only so much military strength, and if he had too much loss, he could not make up for it or afford it!

Therefore, Dai Shan was more inclined to siege and siege Lushun in the next style. In this way, he had to have so much food to support the besieged army, and wait until the day the ammunition and food in Lushun City were exhausted! Don’t be able to eat and drink there at that time, while the Qing army in Lushun City was going to eat and eat grass roots and tree bark!

Thinking of this, he saw that the more than 10,000 troops in the North Korean Navy were disliked, so how much extra food would be wasted every day!

Finally, Dai Shan made a decision and ordered the navy to attack the city under the cover of warships and artillery. Maybe the Ming army would not have such a perfect fortification on the other side of the sea! Of course, he would also send troops to restrain the other side.

When Ban Zhifu came back with a bitter face and brought this military order, Shang Kexi said without considering it: "It's totally OK. When the tide rises, the big ship will approach Lushun City, and it should be bombarded. Maybe, this is my navy again for winning the first merit in Lushun City!"

"Prince, you...you..." Ban Zhifu originally wanted to say that you were thinking too much, but thinking about how rude this was, he had to say, "There is something strange in Lushun City. Before we came, the Qing Dynasty had already attacked once. The last general saw it from the side, and there were heavy casualties!"
