Although the accuracy of the New Army's bombardment shocked Jianlu, Jianlu also had a lot of large siege equipment. As the speed increased, they finally slowly approached Gaizhou City.

At the same time, in the lobby of Jinzhou Yamen, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, who had just returned from a night's rest, summoned his subordinates for a military meeting.

He was seen sitting on the main seat and said loudly and solemnly: "Our army's battle in Xinjin did not attract Jianlu to come to the rescue immediately. At this time, they are attacking Gaizhou with all their strength."

After briefly introducing the situation, Lu Xiangsheng glanced at the faces of every general in the hall and said very forcefully: "The brutality of the Jianqiu is unheard of! The Jianqiu will not be destroyed, and the people's anger will never go away. Since they don't care, then our army will fight It doesn’t hurt. Therefore, I have decided to attack the enemy and save him, which is the best way to relieve Gaizhou!"

After hearing this, many generals in the hall not only were not afraid, but were excited to fight.

"Lord Zhongcheng, are you going to attack Liaoyang again? The general will go there willingly!"

"The last general suggested that we just launch a surprise attack on Shenyang. If we take it down, it will be a great achievement. If we can't take it down, it will scare Jianlu to the point of pissing!"

"..."

Listening to their calls for war, Lu Xiangsheng felt a little relieved. They were all good! As everyone knows, there is an old saying in China: One soldier is a raging enemy, and a general is raging in a nest. With a general like Lu Xiangsheng, there will naturally be no cowards among his men!

He stretched out his hand to signal, and the noisy lobby just now became very quiet. It was obvious that he had enough power, and he said: "Okay, bring two artillery, I will lead you all the way to Shenyang!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the lobby was still very quiet. Obviously, the generals below did not react. They did not expect that Lu Xiangsheng would actually give such an order and lead the army himself!

When Lu Xiangsheng saw that they were both silent, he shouted coldly: "Why, were you just talking?"

When he said this, all the generals came to their senses and suddenly became excited. I really want to attack Shenyang, let’s do it!

"I will obey the military orders of Lord Zhongcheng!" Many generals responded in unison and immediately, their emotions seemed to be very high.

On the other hand, the mature and prudent Xu Fuzuo, after a slight hesitation, still made a different voice and said: "Master Zhongcheng, today is different from the past. The capital of Jianlu, even if their slave chief is not there, must be heavily guarded! Even if If the entire Dongjiang Army is deployed, I’m afraid it will be difficult to capture Shenyang! And...and..."

"And what?" Lu Xiangsheng asked calmly and calmly.

When Xu Fuzou heard this, he no longer hesitated and immediately said: "There has been a precedent of being attacked by our Dongjiang army before. I think that with the shrewdness of the slave chief, our army will not be able to escape easily again. I am sure We will send elite troops to cut off our army's possible return route. Sir Zhongcheng, the main force of the Jianlu forces are all in Liaodong now!"

"What, Xu Fuzhuo, are you afraid?" Mao Chengzuo didn't wait for Lu Xiangsheng to speak, and taunted Xu Fuzhuo in a cold voice, "If we capture Shenyang, it will be a great achievement. Do you understand?"

Xu Fuzou's expression changed when he heard this. He had hesitated before because he was afraid that such a label would be put on his head, so he quickly replied loudly: "What am I afraid of? My whole family, young and old, were all harmed by the rebels. What do I have?" Are you so scared? I am being cautious, I am just worried... Otherwise, Mr. Wei, please report it to the Emperor to see what the Emperor means..."

Mao Chengzuo looked disapproving when he heard this, thinking that he was afraid but brought out the emperor to suppress others! The other generals also wanted to speak, but saw that there was going to be a quarrel in the lobby.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw this, he waved his hand to stop all of them from talking, and said in a gentle tone: "You don't need to say anything anymore. I understand what you are thinking. In this case, I will finish my words."

After hearing what he said, all the generals couldn't help but look at him, curious about what he meant by finishing his words.

"What I want is for the Hussars battalion to lead the artillery north, out of Xiaoheishan, and after passing Xinjin, head directly north along the coast and advance with great fanfare. When they encounter Jianlu's town, their artillery will blast it. When they encounter a large city, they will blast it. Bypass." Lu Xiangsheng explained in a deep voice, "The purpose of our army is to force the slave chiefs to divide their forces to rescue them. If they don't move, they will continue to go north and kill all the way to Shenyang."

Speaking of this, he paused and then said: "According to my estimation, it is absolutely impossible for the slave chief to ignore the movements of our army when he hears them. And as soon as he makes a move, our army will know it immediately and can immediately quietly Return quickly and achieve your goal of supporting Gaizhou!"

In fact, if you want to go north from Jinzhou to Shenyang, the best way is to follow the original official road, first to Gaizhou and Haizhou, and then to Shenyang via Liaoyang.

And if the Dongjiang Army is strong enough, another good way to support Gaizhou is to defeat Fuzhou between Jinzhou and Gaizhou. It's just a pity that during Operation Autumn Harvest, they boarded Changsheng Island from Fuzhou to evacuate. Therefore, the Jianlu troops in Fuzhou are heavily defended and cannot be attacked by the current Dongjiang Army.

After understanding the true purpose of this operation, many generals couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but also a little relaxed. It's not that they don't understand that Shenyang is actually not something they can really take advantage of, but if it happens, it's just a case!

Lu Xiangsheng once again glanced at the generals in the hall, and finally reiterated: "The fundamental purpose of this winter battle in Liaodong is to torment Jianlu and exhaust Jianlu's strength. Therefore, although this battle is not really about fighting Shenyang, it can be Its importance is comparable to that of capturing Shenyang! Generals must not slack off, do you understand?"

"The general will understand!" This time, all the generals responded in unison.

After letting his men go out to prepare, Lu Xiangsheng turned to Wei Mulan, who had been standing beside him, and said, "Tell the emperor that our army is about to set off!"

Wei Mulan nodded, and after waiting for a while, she said to Lu Xiangsheng: "The emperor has decreed that Zhongcheng should be as careful as possible and send more vigilance at night. The current source of information can only be Huang Taiji. If a local general in Jianlu takes action without authorization, the emperor will not know about it in time!"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, that's for sure. When marching and fighting, it is certainly impossible to rely on only one source of information and ignore military routines. Especially this time, he had to go out with great fanfare and expose his whereabouts to Jianlu, so he had to be even more careful!

Besides, outside Gaizhou City at this time, on the arrow tower that was pushed closer, the Mongolian archers at the top started shooting arrows one after another regardless of whether the range was sufficient. They expected that this would cause panic among the Ming army at the top of the city.

As for those catapults, they didn't have time to fix them, so they just tried to launch the stones. Piles of people began to load rocks and pull levers in a panic.
