Chapter 332 Traitor
The reason why this happens is because Lu Xiangsheng is so powerful that not many people in Jianlu know about it.Those who know that Lu Xiangsheng is good will not promote Lu Xiangsheng.

Therefore, in the eyes of anyone, he is just a civil servant. Even if he is good at literature and martial arts, can he still perform any tricks?

Of course, when things come to a head, like this moment, if Turg is here, he will definitely remind them to pay attention.After all, he had suffered losses from Lu Xiangsheng when he was outside Jiajiazhuang.

Even if Hauge is here, he will definitely remind him, because he also knows about Turg.It's just that at this time, he has not yet arrived with the vanguard, and the ones here in Lushun City are all his forward scouting troops.

Thus, a tragic scene happened.

None of the soldiers and soldiers outside the city expected that Lu Xiangsheng's arm strength was far beyond their expectations.The arrows shot from his hard bow really arrived in the blink of an eye. They were so fast that even if he could dodge the first arrow, he would never be able to dodge the second arrow.

"Bang bang bang..." sounded, and then I heard screams from outside the city.

I saw the Jianlu who took off his trousers, shot an arrow, hit the bull's-eye, took the Jianlu, and nailed him to the ground.

The four or five Jianlu who were with him were a little easier to dodge than this unlucky guy.However, if you dodge the first arrow, you will not dodge the second arrow.In almost the blink of an eye, this small group of soldiers and soldiers were all lying on the ground. With only one breath left, they were struggling before death, and then they all stopped moving.

During this process, whether it was the soldiers of the Ming army on top of the city or other soldiers outside the city, they all stared blankly at this scene, looking at those unlucky guys, the surprise on their faces should not be too obvious. .Obviously, the scene in front of them seemed to be beyond their understanding.

On the top of the city, Lu Xiangsheng shot a pot of arrows in one breath. Seeing that the effect was good, he casually returned the work to the guard, 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 beside him came back to his senses, closed his mouth that he didn't know when he opened, and then said in surprise: "Sir, I didn't expect... I didn't expect... My lord... actually... …It’s so powerful!”

After stuttering for a while, it was considered complete.However, he felt that what he said was too low-level, and he couldn't express his surprise at all.

Lu Xiangsheng did not speak, but he was a personal guard who had followed Lu Xiangsheng for many years. He smiled and said to Gao Yigong: "What does this mean? In the past, my lord, I could shoot two pots of arrows in one breath without blinking. I would never miss the target." !”

After Gao Yigong heard this, he 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 of Lu Xiangsheng!

Just when he was about to say something, suddenly, he heard a roar like a tsunami from the top of the city: "Your Excellency is mighty!"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"..."

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

The governor's unique archery skills conquered the hearts of all the Ming army soldiers!
The Tatars outside the city did not respond to the Ming army on top of the city. They all retreated and retreated in tacit agreement, and they were still far away from a stone's throw away.After a while, a few Jianlu were afraid and stepped forward, like thieves, and snatched back the corpses of the Jianlu.

After a long time, Jianlu felt that this was too demoralizing for his side, so he shouted from a distance: "Our Qing Dynasty's Batulu has not arrived, otherwise we can't shoot you Han dogs!"

What responded to them was booing from the city: "Oh..."

Anyway, whatever they said, none of the soldiers of the Ming army on the top of the city cared at all.What happened to the legendary Jianlu, he was still an elite, and he still became the ghost under the arrow of the governor!

The morale battle of the first meeting ended like this!

When the sun was about to set, Hauge led the vanguard and rushed there excitedly.But the first thing he saw was the corpses of those men who had been shot dead by Lu Xiangsheng.

After hearing the report from his men, Hauge immediately remembered that Lu Xiangsheng was the one who should not be offended among the Ming army.Even in Jiajiazhuang back then, Lu Xiangsheng, a madman, could open the door and charge back.Even as proud as he is, 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, Hauge looked at the big flag with the word "Lu" flying over the city of Lushun in the distance.After a while, he gave the order to retreat ten miles and set up camp.And ordered to be alert, in case that lunatic Lu Xiangsheng stole the camp.

As a result, nothing happened overnight, and the sun rose as usual the next day.

This time, Hauge did not let his men do anything frivolous. He surrounded Lushun in an orderly manner, cleaning up the surrounding area and preparing for the arrival of the subsequent army.

What made him a little surprised was that there was no navy from the Ming Dynasty in Lushun Harbor.Not only are there no warships, there are not even transport ships.

"Where did all the ships of the Ming army go?" Hauge couldn't help thinking, "Could it be that, knowing that the Qing Dynasty came to attack, the Ming navy all fled back? Or, Lu Xiangsheng, a lunatic, wanted to imitate them Ancients, what are you doing to fight with your back?"

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he gave it up and just sent someone back to report to the Chinese army coach Daishan.

Two days later, the main force of Kong Youde's Han army and Daishan's Chinese army arrived.Suddenly, around Lushun, it can be said that the mountains and plains are filled with Jianlu military camps.Just looking at this posture, you can tell that the military strength of the two sides is not at the same level.

At the beginning, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Army became a little nervous when they saw so many Jianlu appearing.After all, they were born as bandits, and when encountering a superior enemy, it was almost instinctive to flee.

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

The governor is all here, and he is afraid of a ball!
Daishan received Hauge's report, and now seeing is believing. He didn't even see the Ming Navy, which made him very strange.However, he was not worried, nor did he try to guess why this happened, he just smiled and said: "So, 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!" "

"Cha!" Both the Manchu and Han generals responded in unison, full of confidence.

In their eyes, Lushun City is not big, it can only accommodate 5000 people at most; more importantly, the city wall is too short, only about two feet high.Don't say that they have seen the city walls of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, which are more than four to five feet high. Let's say that Jinzhou City, which is the closest to here in Liaodong, is three feet and three feet high.The so-called shorter the city wall, the easier it is to attack the city, this is a consensus!

The siege ladders, ramming carts and carts, etc., are troublesome when they are transported from afar.Anyway, there are Chinese craftsmen in the army, and local materials can be used to build them quickly.As for the catapult, since the artillery was brought in, there was no need to build it.

Therefore, after Daishan gave the order, the Manchu soldiers were gearing up and waiting for the siege equipment to be built before attacking.Just a little Lushun, he came down with a drum to win military glory.

With the arrival of the Manchu and Qing armies, their scouting horses became active again, approaching the city wall from time to time and harassing the top of the city, forcing the defenders on the top of the city to cheer up, increase their vigilance, and consume their energy.

This kind of trick is useless in front of Lu Xiangsheng.The lookout post is alert, others are waiting, take a rest when it's time to rest, and take a rotation when it's time to take a shift.As Lu Xiangsheng's figure swayed around, the soldiers of the Ming army felt at ease.

The Manchu and Qing soldiers outside the city were all busy.One of them was hiding in the distance, looking at Lushun quietly, with a complicated expression. He was the submissive king Kong Youde.

He never imagined that a few years after the destruction of Dongjiang Town, the Ming Dynasty would have a governor-level official who could guard the isolated city together with the ordinary soldiers of the Ming army.

He wouldn't believe that Lu Xiangsheng was forced to stay here because he didn't have time to leave.After all, the Ming army had naval divisions before, and the Qing army came from afar, which gave Lu Xiangsheng enough time to find an excuse to leave.

It doesn't make sense to say that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty ordered the governor-level civil servants to be stationed in Lushun.After all, the governor of Denglai used to be in charge of Dongjiang, and I have never seen the governor of Denglai inspect Dongjiang town.It is obvious that even the emperor should not be able to let a big official from the frontier come to Lushun to die!

Kong Youde thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out why Lu Xiangsheng was here.At this time, he looked at Lushun City, and was actually a little envious in his heart.Although they are doomed to be unable to defend Lushun City, but if a governor can live and die with ordinary Ming soldiers like them, this life is worth it, right?
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but think of the past again.

Kong Youde was a Tieling miner, and like all Liaodong Han people, he had a grudge against wild boars.Together with his elder brother Kong Youxing, he defected to Mao Wenlong to fight against the Tartars, and was promoted to the rank of general.He has always been grateful to Mao Wenlong.Even if he later defected to the Qing Dynasty and became the king of obedience, he still respected Mao Wenlong.

In fact, it was not just Kong Youde, but the Han people in Liaodong, who were almost all grateful to Mao Wenlong.Because Mao Wenlong gave them hope and gave them a place to escape.Only Mao Wenlong, even though the armaments were broken and had no military pay, could still lead the beggar army to attack the hinterland of Liaodong.

It is a pity that Mao Wenlong died at the hands of Yuan Chonghuan. After that, the Dongjiang Army did not have a leader with enough prestige. It became impossible to continue fighting against the Jianlu in such a difficult environment.

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

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

In June of the fifth year of Shunzhi, Kong Youde went to Wuchang to wait for orders to change defenses.During this period, Jin Shenghuan and Li Chengdong rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, and Manchu troops from all over the country 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 important officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty Zhang Tongchang, Qu Shichun and Jingjiang King Zhu Hengxuan.At first, he treated them like guests. Later, because he intercepted Qu Shichun's secret message secretly asking Jiao Lian to attack the city, he executed Qu and Zhang at the foot of Xianhe Ridge on Fengdong Mountain in Guilin, while Jingjiang King Zhu Hengxin was killed in a private house outside the west gate. Hanged to death.What he did was completely different from Wu Sangui personally strangling Emperor Yongli, let alone still gratifying.Later, Kong Youde was defeated by Li Dingguo and eventually committed suicide.

There is a saying in later generations that Kong Youde was the chief villain of the rebels in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was only because Kong Youde killed the famous people Zhang Tongchang and Qu Shixu. The pen of a literati is sometimes more powerful than a sword, and that is why.

If we really want to talk about the contribution of the Han people to the Manchus in the late Ming Dynasty, at least Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and others were ranked before Kong Youde. One of their strategies was more powerful than Kong Youde. In addition, when it comes to loyalty to the Manchus, at least And Shang Kexi is a die-hard loyalist. If it weren't for him, the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty might have been rewritten. And the one with the worst impact was Li Yongfang, the first Ming border general to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. precedent.

Except for the old generals of Dongjiang, Daming never treated them badly for the others who surrendered to the Manchus.What is the integrity of the so-called scholar?
Of course, Kong Youde at this time did not know these things.At this time, he only had confusion and admiration for Lu Xiangsheng.

In the early morning of the next day, in the Manchu army, the horn sounded "Woo-woo".The soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, who were full, began to march out.Some were carrying ladders, some were carrying rams, and some were pushing chariots, ready to start the battle against Lushun.

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

Surrounded by all the generals, Daishan watched from a distance.From time to time, Tatar messengers received orders and ran in front of the army, and the war was about to break out.

Everyone was looking at the artillery position, watching the artillery measure the range there, then advance the artillery, find the right position, and work nervously and orderly.

They never imagined that before the arrival of the Manchu Qing army, Lu Xiangsheng had already marked the outside of the city for shelling according to Emperor Chongzhen's previous proposal.Therefore, after watching the artillery of the Tartars outside the city push to the mark, they immediately ordered to attack freely according to the elevation angle and gunpowder consumption prepared in advance.

Daishan had been watching and saw Kong Youde's Tianyou soldiers busy.Suddenly, he saw the top of Lushun City. On top of the sharp corners, plumes of thick smoke suddenly appeared.Then, he heard a "boom" sound.

Suddenly, he was startled, the Ming army fired first!

 I made a mistake, there will only be strong winds tomorrow, and Bai was excited for a long time
