In order to be able to attract the Goguryeo army to help, Luo Cheng gave Beisha City a lot of face.

In Arthur Bay, fishing, hunting, repairing wharves, building barracks and castles, staying for half a month.

"Did Goguryeo send reinforcements south?" Luo Cheng asked.

"More than a dozen mountain cities around Beisha are gathering troops and horses to help, but the big mountain cities such as Anshi and Shicheng farther away have not moved." Zhao Gui returned.

"Then wait, we have time anyway."

Luo Cheng stands on the white jade mountain of Port Arthur, standing here, he can overlook the entire harbor.

"It's a good port." He sighed that this port is a natural deep-water port, located in the south of Baiyu Mountain, located in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, and Donglai's Miaodao Islands and Donglaitou choke the throat of the Bohai Strait, which is in today's era of underdeveloped navigation technology, which is also the throat of the Central Plains Dynasty's only maritime shipping waterway leading to Liaodong, Korea and Dongying.

The port is surrounded by mountains, the port has the Golden Mountain in the east, the Tiger Tail Peninsula in the west, and there is a narrow waterway to communicate with the open sea, the concealment and windproof performance in the port is good, and the water depth in the port.

In particular, this is a natural ice-free port in the north.

The ice-free port is extremely precious in the north, even if it is like Donglai Port, it will freeze when it is cold in winter, but Port Arthur will not.

In Luo Cheng's view, in fact, although Beisha City occupies the highest and most dangerous position in southern Liaoning, it is not the best position.

The most important thing to guard southern Liaoning is these two big ports, one is Lushun and the other is Dalian. It's just that the Goguryeo people didn't have any decent sailors at all, so they didn't have the right to control the sea, so they had to give up these two good ports.

But the Sui Dynasty is different, although the sailors of the Great Sui are actually very weak, it is almost the same as calling it a sea transport team, but at least it still has the ability to fight, whether it is the size or performance of the warship, it is still a well-deserved overlord.

Since it has the ability to control the sea, it should of course rely on these two major ports, backed by the Miaodao Islands, connected to Donglai, and even regard the Bohai Bay as an inland lake, so that it can reach Zhuojun, Hejian, Beiping, Yuyang and other Hebei counties from Lushun at any time.

It is really offensive and defensible.

As for the narrowness of Lushun, there is no need to be afraid, anyway, there are seas and ships, and with the right to control the sea, this vast sea is the direction of attack and retreat.

Compared with the Goguryeo people who stubbornly defended the Great Black Sand and gave up the southern tip of Liao, Luo Cheng valued the advantages of combining sea and land more.

"Marshal, do you want to let the reinforcements from the surrounding cities of Beisha enter Beisha City?"

"Those are just small fish and shrimp, let them go, we are here to catch big fish this time, don't be surprised by the big fish."

The mountain city of the Goguryeo people is actually very rigorously designed, and after hundreds of years of operation and construction, the Goguryeo people in the mountain city of Liaodong are not actually built as they want to build, but have an overall consideration of the layout, and the arrangement is still relatively reasonable.

It makes full use of the mountains and topography to make comprehensive selection and careful arrangement.

The common characteristics of mountain cities are that in the high and steep places next to the rivers and valleys, on the traffic channels that are important for water and land, and in the high mountains and deep valleys where the two rivers meet, where there are dangerous mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and where the traffic arteries are just guarded, mountain castles will inevitably be built.

Moreover, these mountain cities in Liaodong, after hundreds of years of perfection by the Goguryeo people, have formed a well-layered defensive mountain city cluster.

For example, in Liaodong, the first echelon of mountain cities are at the junction of the Liaohe Plain and the mountains behind, such mountain cities, facing the plains, backed by the mountains, the city is high, and the area in the city is large, which can not only have the danger of the mountains, but also take advantage of the plains.

Then, around these mountain cities, the Goguryeo people built many small mountain cities on the mountains and rivers around them, and these mountain cities were relatively smaller, relying on the big mountain cities to survive, and the purpose was also to defend the mountain cities and jointly defend them.

Then between the small mountain towns, there are many fortresses and villages, which rely on the small mountain cities to fill the gaps.

One of those fortress-type core mountain towns is the core of the fortress city, and it is the core point of a region.

Then around Beisha, there were about a dozen small mountain towns, which occupied some dangerous places around southern Liaoning to hold the passages, and then there were smaller fortresses and village fortresses.

Now, Luo Cheng landed in Lushun, and Beisha City asked for help from all sides, first of all, he transferred the soldiers and horses of the surrounding small mountain cities to Beisha to increase the defense of the big city.

At the same time, he also asked for help from several other big mountain cities, such as Liaodong, Anshi, Shicheng, etc.

Luo Cheng's mountain city of Goguryeo, when he last conquered Liao, he had already thoroughly studied their system.

So now that some small mountain cities around him are coming to help, Luo Cheng is not moved at all.

He was waiting, waiting for the big fish, Goguryeo reinforcements in the direction of Anshi, Shicheng, and even Liaodong City.

If you really want to attack a mountain city, it is quite laborious, every mountain city because of the danger of its terrain, if you really want to attack, you have to suffer a lot of casualties, so to fight over, every time you attack a mountain city, Luo Cheng has to lose a lot of men and horses, really beat down Liaonan, it is estimated that the left fifth army is almost finished.

This style of play is undoubtedly what the Goguryeo people want, and they just want to use this space for time.

Luo Chengcai was not fooled by them.

If you want to fight, you will fight a war of annihilation, as long as you annihilate the main force of the enemy, those mountain cities are just empty cities.

Originally, Qin Qiong and the others were still thinking about conventional tactics, and proposed strategies such as night attacks and fire attacks, but Luo Cheng refused.

He wasn't content to just lay down a city of Beisha.

Fish patiently.

If you don't have patience, you won't be able to catch fish.

The third day of March.

The Fourth and Sixth Armies also arrived at Port Arthur by ship from Donglai.

When Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang saw that Duli Bay, which was once very desolate, had become a busy port at this time, they were a little incredulous.

Not only are there a large number of warships moored in the harbor, but a continuous permanent camp has been erected in the harbor, and even a castle with a circumference of four miles has begun to take shape.

Except, of course, the Left Fifth Army.

In the harbor of Arthur, there are at least two or three thousand fishing boats.

"What's going on with these fishing boats, could it be that the marshal was temporarily recruited?" Laihu'er asked suspiciously.

"I didn't recruit them, they just came to fish and sell fish, these fishermen are not only from Donglai, but also from Gaomi, Langya, Donghai, and Xiapi further south, as well as Bohai, Hejian, Zhuojun, Beiping, Yuyang to the north of Donglai, and even Liucheng and Liaoxi County."

"They're all here to fish?"

"Let's just put it that way."

On this side of the Liaodong Peninsula, because the Goguryeo people occupied it in the past, the fishermen of the Central Plains did not dare to come over. The fishermen of the Central Plains have not dared to come to fish for many years, which naturally leads to the special abundance of fishing resources here. Now that the god of war Luo Cheng is stationed in Liaodong, the fishermen naturally don't have to worry about those Goguryeo people.

Secondly, the fishermen who came first found that they did not need to go back at all after catching fish, and sold them directly to the naval barracks in Port Arthur, the price was fair and reasonable, and it was very refreshing, and the demand was still large. The fishermen will also settle accounts, no need to go back and forth, and the catch is not worried, who will not come?

There are even some fishermen with brains who sell all kinds of commercial goods from the Central Plains to Lushun Port, and they make a lot of money.

'This ······'

Lai Hu'er was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect Luo Cheng to send troops first, but for half a month here, he didn't go to Beisha City, but built a city here to open a port, and made it such a lively fishing port and commercial port.
