With this in mind, Lu Xiangsheng ordered the whole city to be on guard. Following this order, the atmosphere in Jinzhou City suddenly became tense. There are many more soldiers on the city. In various houses, the soldiers who were resting were also called up, either to move the defense equipment, or to prepare for battle, etc.

Lu Xiangsheng himself continued to build the prison camp in the distance on the arrow tower, observing with telescopes. He was a little worried. Although he had not seen any Han people in the Jianlu camp before, if there were Han people hiding, the initial fierce attack must be to drive the Han people away first.

How could he not know that the risk of going out to rescue people was very high? But Jianlu used this move because his life was at stake and he had to save him. Fortunately, the emperor was notified early, so he could make more preparations and be more certain.

However, the development of things was far beyond his expectation. Half an hour later, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly discovered that Jianlu didn't seem to want to attack the city, but... but wanted to withdraw his troops!

At first, he was a little surprised. Jinzhou was abandoned by Jianlu on his own initiative. Judging from what was learned later, Jianlu deliberately gave up and let his side take over. Then they waited until the sea was frozen before attacking again, using a long-term strategy to catch the big fish.

This was indeed the case at the beginning. Jianlu even brought more than ten cannons with the army and came with great momentum. He really wanted to capture Jinzhou. But now that they suddenly want to withdraw, is it a desperate tactic?

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiangsheng understood immediately. I am afraid that the situation in Gaizhou is tense, and Jinzhou is not sure that it can be captured in one fell swoop. Jianlu was afraid that he would not have the strength to fight on two fronts. After weighing the situation, it was not difficult to understand that Jinzhou would withdraw its troops! However, the bait Jianlu released was lost in vain!

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly felt relaxed all over. The Han people do not need to be driven to attack Jinzhou, and they do not need to take risks themselves!

He was thinking that at this time, the others also saw that Jianlu was about to retreat, and they couldn't help being surprised. Mao Chengzuo, the general on duty, rushed over and asked for advice.

So, Lu Xiangsheng expressed his views, and then looked towards Gaizhou in the northwest with some emotion and said: "In this way, all the pressure will be on the New Army!"

Mao Chengzuo was happy and a little worried after hearing this. Gaizhou is an isolated city! If Jianlu takes the initiative, he will attack madly, and Gaizhou must not be firmly occupied by the Ming Dynasty. Brothers of the New Army, can you withstand it?

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a moment, then turned to Wei Mulan and said: "Immediately report the matter of Jianlu's withdrawal to the emperor. Please remind the emperor to remind the new army in Gaizhou to pay attention. Jianlu has concentrated all its forces to attack Gaizhou!"

"Yes, Lord Zhongcheng!" Upon hearing this, Wei Mulan stopped smiling and said with a serious face. After Lu Xiangsheng finished his instructions, he turned around and strode away, and at the same time said loudly: "Go back to the house to discuss matters!"

In Gaizhou, where everyone is paying attention, on the top of the north-facing city wall, a group of Ming army generals stood looking north. The most conspicuous ones are the new army division general Cao Bianjiao and division supervisor Feng Dehua. On their left, stood the commander of the Fujian Navy, Zheng Zhilong, his brother, and the "human telephone" Liu Jinsheng; while on their right, stood the commander of the Denglai Navy, Li Zhiqi, and the "human telephone" Zheng Zhiwan.

"Commander, what are the brothers outside the city doing?" Zheng Zhihu couldn't understand, so he couldn't help but ask.

The military position of division general is not clearly stated to be at the level of general soldier. But in their opinion, it's actually about the same, or maybe a little bigger than an ordinary general soldier. In that case, it doesn't matter if you call him "marshal"!

When Cao Bianjiao heard the question, he smiled and said: "This is the artillery camp brothers making marks. When Jianlu attacks the city in the future, the artillery can be fired more accurately and kill more Jianlu!"

"Is there such a thing?" Zheng Zhihu was speechless and couldn't help but sigh. He is good at naval combat. Although he also has artillery, most of it is inaccurate and of little use. Today's naval battles still rely on springboard battles. And he is a master of springboard fighting.

Feng Dehua heard this, glanced at Zheng Zhilong, and said with a smile: "When you have the opportunity in the future, go to Wu Beitang and learn more. There will be many things you can't expect. There are many things taught by the emperor!"

"What, this is a method taught by the emperor?" Zheng Zhihu was even more surprised when he heard this.

After hearing this, Feng Dehua chuckled and said nothing.

When Zheng Zhilong saw it, he knew that someone had already mentioned it and didn't want to go into details. So, he looked at the sky, solemnly clasped his fists and saluted Cao Bianjiao and Feng Dehua respectively: "It's getting late, the generals are about to withdraw!"

Hearing this, Li Zhiqi, who had been silent, also clasped his fists and said with admiration: "It's a pity that I'm not good at land warfare. If Jianlu has a navy, he will be completely wiped out. I will wait until next spring. Let’s meet the two adults again!”

All the supplies have been moved into Gaizhou, and the people in the city had already transported a lot when they returned to the seaside. They came to the top of the city to find Cao Bianjiao and Feng Dehua, just to say goodbye.

After hearing this, Feng Dehua looked at the two of them with a smile and said: "This time, the materials were moved into Gaizhou City in advance, and the navy soldiers contributed a lot. Our family will definitely write this in the battle report of the triumphant victory in the future. On to this.”

He is the division supervisor. In the eyes of people at this time, his power is greater than that of the general Cao Bianjiao, and he represents the emperor behind him. Therefore, if he said this, it would definitely be okay. Naturally, everyone is happy to have a share of the credit.

So, no matter Zheng Zhilong or Li Zhiqi, they both happily thanked them again.

When Cao Bianjiao saw it, he also smiled and said: "I still want to patrol and set up defenses, so I won't send you away."

"Let's go, let's see you off!" Feng Dehua and Cao Bianjiao have a division of labor. He is in charge of people's thoughts, so he said with a smile.

There were about twenty carriages parked at the South City Gate. Next to the carriage, there were groups of navy soldiers and some ordinary people carrying packages.

Many of them were talking quietly at first, but when they saw several generals approaching, they immediately stopped talking and watched them approach.

Zheng Zhilong arrived in front of the team, turned around and clasped his fists at Feng Dehua and said, "Master Supervisor, please stay. I will say goodbye!"

"Please stay, Master Supervisor, and I will say goodbye!" Li Zhiqi immediately followed suit. He would do what Zheng Zhilong did anyway.

Feng Dehua smiled and waved his hand and said: "Okay, our family will send it here. Have a safe trip!"

When Zheng Zhilong and Li Zhiqi said goodbye again and turned to leave, several common people standing there suddenly knelt down and said loudly: "Please take care of yourself! Your Excellency has won the battle, and Jianlu has returned with a great defeat!"

Feng Dehua heard the sound and looked around, but he recognized these people. At this time, other people also knelt down and said some auspicious words!
