The reason why this happened was because Lu Xiangsheng was so powerful, and not many people actually knew about it. Those who know that Lu Xiangsheng is powerful will not go to Lu Xiangsheng to publicize.

So, in anyone's eyes, a civil official is just a civil official, even if he can be civil and martial, can he still shoot any tricks!

Of course, when it comes to the end, such as at this time, if Turg were here, they would definitely be alerted. After all, when he was outside Jiajiazhuang, he suffered Lu Xiangsheng's loss.

Even if Hauge was here, he would definitely be warned, because he also knew about Turg. It's just that at this time, he has not yet arrived with the vanguard, and now here in Arthur City, it is just his forward horse exploration troops.

And so, a tragic scene happened.

Outside the city, no one expected that Lu Xiangsheng's arm strength was far stronger than they expected. The arrows shot by his hard bow were really in the blink of an eye, and the speed was so fast that even if he could dodge the first arrow, he would never be able to dodge the second arrow.

The sound of "Bangbang Bang Bang ......" sounded, and I heard screams from outside the city.

I saw that the Jianzhu, who had taken off his pants, shot an arrow, hit the bull's-eye, took the Jianzhu, and nailed him to the ground.

And the four or five Jianjun who were with him were a little easier to dodge than this unlucky ghost. However, if you dodge the first arrow, you did not dodge the second. Almost in the blink of an eye, this handful of Jianyu Tanma was all lying on the ground, with only one breath left, just there to struggle before death, and then, all of them did not move.

In this process, whether it was the Ming soldiers at the head of the city, or the other Jianyu Tanma outside the city, they all looked at this scene blankly, looking at those unlucky ghosts, and the look of surprise on their faces was not too obvious. Obviously, the scene in front of them seemed to be beyond their comprehension.

At the head of the city, Lu Xiangsheng shot a pot of arrows in one go, and seeing that the effect was good, he casually threw the gong back to the guards, and then waved his arm and said lightly: "It's still old, it's just a pot of arrows, this hand is a little sore!" ”

Hearing this, Gao Yigong on the side came back to his senses, closed his mouth that he didn't know when he opened, and then said in surprise: "My lord, I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect ...... My lord...... Unexpectedly...... It's so powerful! ”

It took a while to stammer, and then I was able to finish my sentence. However, he felt that this was too unsatisfactory to express his surprise at all.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't speak, but a personal guard who had followed Lu Xiangsheng for many years, and said to Gao Yigong with a smile: "What is this, when adults used to shoot two pots of arrows in one breath without blinking an eye, they would never miss the target!" ”

Gao Yigong listened to it and had a new understanding of Lu Xiangsheng.

If before, he was afraid of Lu Xiangsheng's identity and admired his ability to command troops and his way of commanding troops like a son, then at this time, Gao Yigong was completely convinced by Lu Xiangsheng!

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a tsunami-like cry from the top of the city: "Your Excellency, the Governor! ”

"Daming Wansheng!"

“……”

The morale of the Ming army defending the city has directly increased by several levels, and if there is a progress bar to display, it will be directly full!

The Governor's archery stunt can be regarded as conquering the hearts of all the soldiers of the Ming Army!

And the Tartars outside the city, who did not respond to the Ming army at the head of the city, all retreated and retreated tacitly, and it was far beyond a stone's throw to retreat. After a long while, a few of the prisoners stepped forward in fear, like thieves, and snatched the corpses back.

After a long time, some Jianlu felt that this was too demoralizing, so he shouted from afar: "Our Qing Dynasty's Baturu has not arrived, otherwise we won't be able to shoot you Han dogs!" ”

They were greeted by a chorus of boos from the city: "Oh......"

Anyway, whatever they say, none of the Ming soldiers in the city don't care at all. What's wrong with the legendary Jianyu, he is still an elite, and he still has become a ghost under the Governor's arrow!

The battle for morale at the first meeting ended like this!

As the sun was about to set, Hauge arrived with a rush of troops. But the first thing he saw was the corpses of his subordinates who were shot dead by Lu Xiangsheng.

Hearing the advice of his subordinates, Haoge immediately remembered that among the Ming army, this Lu Xiangsheng could not be provoked the most. Even in Jiajiazhuang back then, Lu Xiangsheng, a madman, could open the door and counter-charge. Even if he is as proud as him, he has to admit that when Lu Xiangsheng goes crazy, it is best not to appear in front of him.

Seeing that the sky had darkened, Haoge looked at the big banner of "Lu" fluttering on the city of Lushun in the distance. After a long while, he gave the order to retreat ten miles back and set up camp. and ordered to be on guard in case Lu Xiangsheng, the madman, stole the camp.

As a result, there was no incident all night, and the next day, the sun rose as usual.

This time, Hauge did not let his subordinates do anything with false heads, and surrounded Lushun in a proper manner, cleaned up the perimeter, and prepared for the arrival of the follow-up army.

What made him a little strange was that there was no sailor of the Ming Kingdom in Lushun Harbor. Not only were there no warships, not even transport ships.

"Where have all the ships of the Ming army gone?" Haoge couldn't help but think, "Is it possible, knowing that the Qing Dynasty is coming, and the Ming State Sailors have fled back?" Or, Lu Xiangsheng, a madman, wants to emulate their ancients and engage in a backwater war? ”

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't want to think about it, so he just sent someone back to tell the commander of the Chinese army, Dai Shan.

Two days later, Kong Youde's Han army and Dai Shan's main force of the Chinese army arrived. Suddenly, around Lushun, it can be said that the mountains and wilderness are full of military camps. Just by looking at this posture, you can know that the military strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

At the beginning, the soldiers of the Ming army were a little nervous when they saw so many Jianyu appear. After all, they are born as thieves, and when they encounter an advantageous enemy, it is almost instinctive to escape.

However, when Lu Xiangsheng came over and the soldiers of the Ming army saw Lu Xiangsheng's tall figure, all the insecurity disappeared.

The Governor is here, and I'm afraid of a ball!

Dai Shan got Haoge's message, and now seeing is believing, but he didn't see the Ming State Water Master, which made him very strange. However, he was not worried, and he didn't guess why this happened, but he smiled and said, "In this way, I am not afraid that this Ming army will run away." One day, no, two days, this king wants to see Lu Xiangsheng's head! ”

"Wow!" Whether it is a Manchu or a Han general, they all responded in unison, full of confidence.

In their eyes, the city of Arthur is not very large, and it can only accommodate four or five thousand people at most; What's more, the city wall is too short, only about two zhang high. Don't say that they have seen the city wall of the Ming Kingdom, which is more than four to five zhang high, let's just say that the Jinzhou City, which is the closest to here in Liaodong, is three zhang and three feet high. The so-called shorter the city wall, the easier it is to siege the city, this is the consensus!

Siege ladders, crash cars and chariots are all in trouble. Anyway, there are Han craftsmen in the army, and they can be made quickly by using local materials. As for the catapults, because of the arrival of artillery, there is no need to build them.

Therefore, after Dai Shan's order, the Manchu soldiers were all gearing up, waiting for the siege equipment to be built before attacking. It's just a little Lushun, and he went down with a drum to make military achievements.

With the arrival of the Manchu army, their tanma re-energized, approaching the city walls from time to time to harass the city head, so that the defenders at the head of the city had to brace their spirits, increase their vigilance, and consume their energy.

This kind of trick is useless in front of Lu Xiangsheng at all. The lookout post is vigilant, and the others are resting when they should rest, and they are on duty when they should be on duty. As Lu Xiangsheng's figure swayed everywhere, the soldiers of the Ming army were relieved.

The Manchu soldiers outside the city were all busy in full swing. One of them hid in the distance, quietly looking at Lushun, his expression was a little complicated, he was Gongshun Wang Kong Youde.

He never imagined that a few years after the destruction of Dongjiang Town, the Ming Dynasty would have a governor-level feudal official who could be trapped in a lonely city with ordinary soldiers of the Ming army.

To say that Lu Xiangsheng was too late to leave and was forced to stay here, he didn't believe it. After all, the Ming army had a sailor before, and the Qing army came from afar, which also gave Lu Xiangsheng enough time to find an excuse to leave.

It doesn't make sense to say that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom issued an order to let civil officials at the level of governor be stationed in Lushun. After all, the governor of Denglai was in charge of the Dongjiang River before, and he had never seen the governor of Denglai inspect this side of Dongjiang Town. It is clear that a feudal official will come to Lushun to die, even if it is the emperor, he should not be able to do it!

Kong Youde thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why Lu Xiangsheng was here. At this time, looking at Lushun City, he was actually a little envious in his heart. Although they are destined to be unable to hold Arthur City, there is a governor who can live and die with these ordinary Ming soldiers, and this life is worth it, right?

Thinking about it, his mind couldn't help but think of the past again.

Kong Youde was born as a miner in Tieling, and like all the Han people in Liaodong, he had an enmity with wild boar skin. He and his eldest brother Kong Youxing defected to Mao Wenlong to fight Tartars, and they were promoted to generals. For Mao Wenlong, he has always been grateful. Even if he later took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and became the king of Gongshun, he was still respectful to Mao Wenlong.

In fact, it is not only Kong Youde, but the Han people of Liaodong, almost all of whom are grateful to Mao Wenlong. Because Mao Wenlong gave them hope and gave them a place to escape. Only Mao Wenlong, even if the ordnance is tattered and there is no salary, he can still lead the Huazi army to attack the hinterland of Liaodong.

It's just a pity that Mao Wenlong died at the hands of Yuan Chonghuan, and then, the Dongjiang Army did not have a leader with enough prestige, and it became impossible to continue to fight with Jianlu in such a difficult environment.

Later, Kong Youde met Sun Yuanhua, the second very important Ming official in his life. However, it backfired, and in the end, when he rushed to the aid of the Battle of the Daling River, he was forced to rebel by the local tyrants and his soldiers, and when there was no way out, he finally crossed the sea and surrendered to the Manchu Qing, his original enemy.

In the original history, when he later entered the customs with the Manchu Qing Dynasty and fought for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, some things actually proved that he and Shang Kexi were different.

In June of the fifth year of Shunzhi, Kong Youde went to Wuchang to wait for the change of defense. During this period, Jin Shenghuan and Li Chengdong opposed the Qing Dynasty, and the Manchu Qing troops everywhere asked Kong Youde for help, but Kong Youde did not send a single soldier.

In November of the seventh year of Shunzhi, Kong Youde led the Manchu army to break through Guilin and captured Zhang Tongchang, Qu Shiyun, and Zhu Hengshu, the king of Jingjiang, who were important ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty. At first, he treated them like guests, and later because he intercepted Qu Shiyun's secret about Jiao Lian's siege of the city, Qu and Zhang were executed at the foot of the Xianhe Ridge in Guilin's Fengdong Mountain, and Zhu Hengshu, the king of Jingjiang, was hanged in a house outside the West Gate. His approach is not at all the same as Wu Sangui personally strangling Emperor Yongli, let alone Shang Kexi. Later, Kong Youde was defeated by Li Dingguo and finally committed suicide.

There is a saying in later generations that Kong Youde was the first evil of the traitors in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was only because Kong Youde killed the famous Zhang Tongchang and Qu Shiyun, and the pen of the literati was sometimes more powerful than a knife and gun, and that was it.

If you really want to talk about the contribution of the Han people to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, there are at least Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and others before Kong Youde, and one of their strategies is the top few Kong Youde; In addition, in terms of loyalty to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, at least Shang Kexi is die-hard loyalty, if it weren't for him, the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty might be rewritten; And to say that the worst impact is the first Ming border general Li Yongfang to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, setting a precedent for the Ming generals to surrender to Jianguo.

In addition to the old generals of Dongjiang, the others who surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how could the Ming Dynasty treat them badly. The so-called reader, where is the integrity?

Of course, Kong Youde at this time naturally didn't know these things. At this time, he only had incomprehension and admiration for Lu Xiangsheng.

Early the next morning, in the Manchu army, the horn sounded immediately. The Manchu soldiers, who had their stomachs full, began to line up. Some carried ladders, some carried crashing wood, and some pushed carts, ready to start the battle against Lushun.

Kong Youde's Tianyou soldiers, pushing artillery, also began to line up on the north side of Arthur City, preparing to bombard Arthur City.

Dai Shan was surrounded by the generals and watched from a distance. From time to time, Tartar heralds were ordered to run in front of the army, and the war was about to break out.

Everyone, looking at the artillery position, watching the artillery measure the range, and then advancing the artillery, finding a suitable position, busy in a nervous and orderly manner.

They could not have imagined that before the arrival of the Manchu army, Lu Xiangsheng had already marked the outside of the city according to Emperor Chongzhen's previous proposal. Therefore, after watching the artillery of the Tartars outside the city push to the mark, he immediately gave the order to attack freely according to the elevation angle and the amount of gunpowder prepared in advance.

Dai Shan kept watching, and saw that Kong Youde's Heavenly Blessing Soldiers were busy. Suddenly, he saw the head of Lushun City, and there were suddenly puffs of smoke rising from the sharp corners of the city. Then, he heard a "boom" sound one after another.

Suddenly, he was shocked in his heart, the Ming army fired first!
