Chapter 327 Battle of Intelligence
Lushun's side was occupied by Jianlu a long time ago, in the era of wild boar Pinurhachi, and suffered a major military disaster.

In the third year of Tianqi, Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, sent General Zhang Pan to lead the army to recover.Because of Yuan Keli's support, Lushun's side has always been in Daming's hands.

However, five years after the apocalypse, Yuan Keli resigned, and the Liaodong Peninsula lacked effective support and backup. Jianlu came to attack with heavy troops. Zhang Pan fell into a heavy siege and died in a fierce battle.

Later, Mao Wenlong sent troops to take back Lushun. Because of the presence of the Dongjiang Navy, Jianlu had no choice but to do anything. Until Mao Wenlong died, Dongjiang dispersed, Kong Youde surrendered to Jianlu, and finally fell into the hands of Jianlu.In the original history, from then on, the Ming Dynasty never took back Lushun.

The sharp corner of Liaodong, which was originally to be forgotten, became the focus of everyone's attention again because of the Ming army's counterattack again.

The side of Lushun is a hilly area. Because of several wars, there are few people here, so the traffic is not convenient.There are many trees in the hills, making it a good place to ambush.

No, in several hilly and dense forests, there are soldiers of the Ming army lurking here.They all have variegated cloaks, which are about the same color as the forest.After all, no one is an idiot, and the one wearing the red jersey is too conspicuous.

There was no movement and it was a bit boring. One of the young generals suddenly muttered in a low voice: "It's finally our turn to ambush today. Why are the Tatars not even seen? They can't be so unlucky!"

Hearing Li Laiheng's complaint, the leader Li Dingguo smiled slightly, understanding his feelings very much.

Ever since they landed in Port Arthur and killed the Tatars, military orders were issued not to pursue them.

The entire army, including the rescued Han people, all began to rush to build Lushun City.In order to guard against the harassment of Jinzhou Tartars, Lu Xiangsheng sent a thousand troops to ambush Jianlu's Tanma in the narrowest area, so as not to let them know the situation of the Ming army in Lushun.And this latent force is on rotation.

Most of the soldiers are building Lushun in full swing, building fortifications, and preparing for the upcoming war.Compared with this, the soldiers of the Ming army are of course more willing to kill the enemy and make meritorious service.Therefore, all soldiers cherish the opportunity of lurking.

Li Laiheng had been waiting for almost a day, but he hadn't seen the Tartars coming over, so he was naturally depressed, and couldn't help but said: "The Tartars in Jinzhou must be afraid, isn't it rumored that the Tartars are brave and invincible?"

It was because of the damn rumors that when the Shaanxi frontier army was transferred to Liaodong in fright, they often collapsed halfway.If you can't return to your hometown, you can only become a bandit.

No, after Li Laiheng finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at an older companion next to him.

This companion's name was Chen Xinjue. When he saw Li Laiheng looking over, he couldn't help but blush, and he argued sarcastically: "These Tatars are all fake Tatars. They are the original Dongjiang Army, that's what they are like!"

"Hehe, what happened to the real Tartars?" Li Laiheng said disdainfully upon hearing this, "I'm sure I'll see the real Tartars when I turn back, and I'll still kill them without eggs! Just ask them if they dare to come?"

Hearing this, Li Dingguo also interjected: "That's right, so what about the real Tartars? Your Excellency won the battle of Tianjin, and even their Gu Shan'erzhen was captured alive by our Daming! Daming is strong, and the real Tartars can make them come and go!"

For a long time, because of the incompetence of the Ming army, the prestige of Liaodong Jianlu has always been very loud.

Lu Xiangsheng was worried that these soldiers who came from bandits would be afraid of Jianlu who had never met before. Therefore, in the army, he did not make much publicity about the Battle of Tianjin.Let these soldiers in the Northwest Central Plains know that Jianlu is also a human being, and there is nothing special about it.

Hearing what Li Dingguo said, Li Laiheng laughed, and said after a while: "Thinking about it, it's really funny. In the Battle of Tianjin, our Ming army charged on mules, horses and donkeys! That's it, those legends are incomparably powerful." The real tartars are still scared to death. Really, every time I think about it, I think those real tartars are so funny!"

Hearing what he said, all the soldiers of the Ming army lying around laughed.Hidden in the hearts of many people, the scruples about real Tartars are all gone, gone!
They were really talking, when suddenly, birds chirped from a tree in the distance, very regular and sudden.

When Li Dingguo heard this, his face immediately became serious, and he immediately ordered in a low voice: "If there is a situation, everyone is silent!"

All the soldiers of the Ming army heard that, not only did they not have the kind of apprehension of going to the battlefield to fight for their lives, but they all showed excitement.Li Laiheng was even more so, even counting his fingers, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

Li Dingguo looked at them, but he was serious, and whispered: "Remember, the governor has a strict order not to let the tartars snatch a fellow, remember?"

In order to keep many secrets of the Ming army, for example, how many people came across the sea, who is the leading general, the size of the navy, the geometry of the warships, and who is the commander? , and basically understand some of them.And the sooner the Tatars know about these news, the better.

Fortunately, this place is on the sharp corner of the Liaodong Peninsula, so it is relatively easy to keep these secrets.It was also for this reason that Lu Xiangsheng sent a large number of troops to lurk, and one hundred people formed a small team to take care of each other, and he strictly ordered that soldiers who were captured alive by Jianlu should not go back.

Hearing Li Dingguo's advice, Li Laiheng couldn't help but smiled and said in a low voice: "Those fake tartars have come here many times, and they didn't come back in embarrassment every time. Hehe, let us know the reality of Jinzhou. With that little force, I’m still daydreaming, if we want to defeat our navy, we don’t even think about who the chief soldier of the navy is…”

He was still muttering, and then he saw Li Dingguo's black face, so his voice became smaller and smaller, and he quickly fell silent.

Some habits formed when he was a thief in the past are hard to get rid of in a short period of time. Li Dingguo also knew about this, so he didn't care too much about talking with Li Laiheng. tartar.

At the same time, at the head of Jinzhou City, Shang Kexi, the king of Zhishun granted by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was on the west side of the city, overlooking the direction of Lushun, with a serious face and silent.

Ban Zhifu, who had recovered from his injuries, stood behind him. Although he didn't speak, Ban Zhifu understood in his heart that the prince was worried.

How much time has passed, and the situation of the Ming army in Lushun has never been heard.Every time the scouts were sent out, they all failed.Those who are less lucky, or even wiped out, will not be able to escape back.

This situation made Shang Kexi very uneasy.After all, he is also a person who has been fighting for many years. He doesn't know what the tiger on the side of the couch is doing, so he feels like he is sitting on pins and needles, with the sharp edge on his back.

The only good news is that with the dispatch of three [-]-mile urgent memorials to Shengjing, Shang Kexi also got good news.The Qing emperor attached great importance to these counterattacks by the Ming army.Not only has he agreed to the prince's request, but he has sent a decree to North Korea to transfer the North Korean navy, and the army has already set off, and it should be coming to Jinzhou soon.

But it was precisely because of this that Wang Ye felt very uneasy.

After Prince He Shuoli led the army, if the prince didn't know what to ask, even if he didn't punish him, it would be very embarrassing.

You know, the prince and the prince, although both are called the prince, are after all one heaven and one earth, they are totally different!

In fact, the military strength in the hands of the prince is also very limited. Even if the navy is added, the military strength is less than [-].If you want to talk about elite hands, there are even fewer.Those who were sent to Lushun to inquire about the news were all elites in the hands of the prince, but none of them succeeded.The seriousness of the matter can actually be imagined.

Thinking of this, Ban Zhifu couldn't help but look at Shang Kexi's side face, and suddenly found that the prince seemed to have lost a lot of weight in the past few days.After being King Zhishun of the Qing Dynasty for several years, he managed to gain some weight, and he went back in just such a short time!

Thinking about it, Ban Zhifu felt a lot more worry in his heart. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Lushun, with longing in his eyes. He hoped that this time, he could see how many people the scouts sent by the prince could bring back. Even if there is only one soldier of the Ming army, even if the loss is heavy, as long as one is brought back alive, the prince can learn about the situation of the Ming army in Lushun, that would be good!
Faintly, he felt that Lushun's Ming army was very powerful.He even suspected that if the Lushun Ming army was willing, Jinzhou might not be in the hands of the prince.But why didn't Lushun's Ming army come over? How long has it been? Why didn't they come over?

The abnormality of the Ming army really made Ban Zhifu puzzled.After finally counterattacking and returning to Liaodong, why not open up the territory and expand the territory? That should be regarded as a great contribution to the Ming court, and it can make the leader of the Ming general get promoted and make a fortune, right?

At this time, Ban Zhifu felt that the Ming army in Lushun was a mysterious existence, completely different from the previous Ming army, and he couldn't understand it at all!
The sun is gradually setting to the west, logically speaking, Shang Kexi probably lost his eyesight after standing for so long, right?However, he didn't seem to feel tired, and he was still looking in the direction of Lushun.Even when the commander of the navy, Xu Erxian, came over, he didn't turn his head to look.

On the contrary, Ban Zhifu turned his head and glanced at Xu Erxian. Seeing his questioning eyes, he understood what he wanted to ask, so he shook his head.

Xu Er was obvious, and there was an inexplicable emotion on his face. He then looked in the direction of Lushun, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly turned around and looked at Shang Kexi, and said loudly, "My lord, why don't you send out the navy?" Well, you must know what Lushun Ming army is doing!"

Hearing his voice, Shang Kexi finally turned his head, looked at him, but shook his head and asked: "There are fewer warship factions, are you sure you can defeat the Ming army navy?"

Hearing this, Xu Erxian was dumbfounded.

In the past, Shang Kexi hadn't thought of sending a boat to investigate the situation.However, it was soon discovered that warships of the Ming army were patrolling the sea.If the warship wants to go to Lushun to inquire about news, it must first defeat the navy of the Ming Dynasty.

However, in the previous battle, they all experienced the strength of the Ming navy.

From their point of view, comparing the navy of the Qing Dynasty with the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty has more warships and has a quantitative advantage; however, the Ming Dynasty Navy has an advantage in quality; When the warships encountered each other at sea, neither Xu Erxian nor Shang Kexi had any confidence that they could defeat the Ming Navy.

The Daqingshui Division is just that little, and there is no shipyard, so if you lose one ship, you will lose one ship.More importantly, the naval warships are treasures in Shang Kexi's hands. He doesn't want to have no warships in his hands after the battle.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, he is afraid that if all the warships are sent out together, it will put too much pressure on the Ming army.

Shang Kexi himself was also in the Ming army, and he was on the weak side.Knowing that the Ming army in Lushun should be most worried about the sea route being cut off.Therefore, if all the naval forces are sent out, and if they can compete with the Ming navy, the Ming army will worry that the sea route will be cut off, and they may flee immediately.

You can't scare the snakes, and you can't let the Ming army run away. This is what Shang Kexi has to do.

In this way, if you check from the sea, there are fewer warships, and they are not the opponents of the Ming army's navy; the warships are about the same, and you can't afford to lose them. If you send more, you are afraid of scaring the Ming army away. This made Shang Kexi very embarrassed, so he didn't think about going to investigate by sea.

At this moment, he stumped Xu Erxian with a single question, and then turned around again, looking at the wilderness in the direction of Lushun, without speaking again.

Xu Erxian was depressed for a while, and then asked again: "My lord, the army led by Prince He Shuoli is coming soon, how will I explain?"

Hearing what he said, Ban Zhifu quickly poked him and immediately answered him: "This time, the prince has sent a lot of scouting horses, maybe we can get something!"

After Xu Erxian heard this, he stopped talking and turned his head to look into the distance.He also knew that the lord was in a hurry, and this time he sent a lot of scouts at once, hoping to gain something, even if they were caught and died of serious injuries immediately, that would be fine!

At this time, the sun was setting, and it should not be long before it would be dark.

Xu Erxian looked at it for a while, then turned to look at where the navy was.For him, he still cares more about his navy.According to what the lord said before, the North Korean navy should be arriving soon. There seem to be nearly [-] ships. Looking back at my subordinates, there will be many more warships. I am excited to think about it!

While he was secretly excited, suddenly, Ban Zhifu cried out in surprise: "Look, it seems to be back!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Erxian quickly looked up.Sure enough, in the distance of sight, there were cavalry galloping towards them.However, there were not too many people, and the light was a bit dark, which affected the line of sight and made it impossible to see the specific situation.

It was within their expectation that the loss would be explored.What these few people on the top of the city care about is whether they will be caught alive!
