609 Grab food
Hearing his words, the people on the side were immediately unhappy: "Who are you talking about, what is the benefit of going to the informant, can Jianyu give food or drink?" Didn't you just scold them a few words, as far as what they do, the scolding is light! ”
The old fisherman hurriedly apologized to his neighbor, and then changed the topic and said: "The imperial army is not from the sea this time, if it is defeated, it is estimated that there will be no escape, and there will be many casualties!" ”
"Yes, there are many casualties, and it is estimated that there will not even be such an attack in the future." The neighbor picked up the topic and said, "If the Ming army doesn't come in the future, Jianyu has no scruples, and it is estimated that we will have a more difficult life in the future!" ”
“……”
They discussed, but they were not optimistic about the Ming army that came to attack, let alone their own future. The conclusion of the discussion was to spark a pessimistic atmosphere among the fishermen.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that they have always lived in Lushun and are closed to the outside world. Otherwise, if they knew that the governor of Denglai had directly attacked Shenyang, and even won Liaoyang and Anshan Post Forts, they would not have been so pessimistic.
While they were discussing, when the more than 300 Ming troops arrived about a mile away from the city, not far from the thatched houses on the periphery of Lushun, they didn't leave, but just stood there, pointing at Lushun City and talking loudly, faintly, they seemed to be scolding Jianyu.
"......" The fishermen were speechless, the Ming army that came this time was even worse than the Ming army that came last time, at least the last time the Ming army had attacked the city once, but they quickly withdrew when they saw that they couldn't take it. This time it's good, it stopped so far away from the city, just scolding there, can you scold the Jianyu in the dead city?
At the head of Lushun City, Barosh looked at the movement of the Ming army outside the city, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "What are they doing?" ”
"Like...... It's like a scolding war! The Han man listened carefully for a while before he spoke.
When Baros heard this, he couldn't help but have a look of disdain on his face. According to his understanding of the Ming army in Dongjiang, he was afraid that these Ming troops were forced to attack the city under the pressure of their superiors, but they were afraid of casualties, so they did not dare to attack, and only dared to stand in the distance and scold.
Thinking of this, he ordered: "Ignore them, let's see." ”
In this way, the two sides were unexpectedly peaceful, and the fishermen who watched were a little bored, and a few even rushed back to their thatched houses to get some things, or some simply fished by the fishing boats, so that they could eat more.
After scolding for a while, those Ming soldiers seemed to be tired of scolding, and they sat on the ground to rest in a mess, and there was no formation at all.
But Barosh frowned, these Ming soldiers didn't fight, they didn't leave after scolding, what did they want to do?
Thinking so, he observed the outside of the city with a little confusion, and suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Could it be that these Ming troops are here to hold us back, and then go to grab the grain in the field?" ”
Now this season is the time for the harvest in the fields. These Ming troops came ashore at this time, and they didn't come to fight, according to their poor sourness, they must have come to the shore to grab food!
Although Lushun is located in a remote area, it is on the prominent part of Liaodong, but there are also some fertile fields, but it is not under the city, it is on the side of the mountain. These fertile fields will naturally be cultivated by Han Nu.
At the thought of this, Barosh suddenly couldn't wait. He knew that the Ming army would definitely not have only these in front of him. It is even quite possible that their large forces are there to grab food. And these are just here to spy on Arthur City.
There is no room for food to be lost, otherwise the above will surely blame it. Thinking so, Barosh immediately sent an order to let all the families in the city go to the city to help defend it. And he mobilized more than 600 men and horses to prepare to leave the city.
He rode on his horse and ordered loudly: "The Ming army must be in the harvest of grain, after defeating these Ming troops who are watching, listen to the orders of this official, rob the Ming soldiers to kill less, and harass them more, and wait for the arrival of Jinzhou reinforcements, and then completely annihilate these Ming troops who robbed grain!" ”
After issuing the order, he deliberately explained to his henchmen, and after the five fast horses went out of the city to kill the Ming army, he did not stop, and went straight to Jinzhou for help.
After this arrangement, the gate of Lushun City was opened, and a group of prisoners came out.
"Look, look, Jianyu is out!" A fisherman who was bored with fishing looked up and couldn't help but be surprised.
When the others heard this, they all turned their heads to look, and sure enough, there was a steady stream of countless prisoners from the gate of Lushun City. There were even thirty or fifty cavalry troops, so to speak, almost pouring out.
When the old fisherman saw it, he said a little nervously: "This is not good, those Ming soldiers are afraid that many people will die!" ”
As they said this, the fishermen looked at the Ming army again. Sure enough, those Ming troops also found out that Jianyu was out of the city at the first time, and they all panicked and ran back, and even some Ming troops deviated from the official road and jumped into the mountain on the edge of the official road.
"Alas, what should I do in the future, I hope that the imperial court will recover Lushun, I'm afraid I won't see it in this life!" The old fisherman sighed and said.
When his neighbor heard this, he seemed to be comforting himself: "No matter what, whatever, anyway, when the Ming army was here, we were not less bullied!" ”
What he meant was nothing more than bullying left and right, no matter who was here, it didn't matter.
But when the old fisherman heard this, he still shook his head and retorted: "How can the Ming army be ruthless, and if you have a choice, of course the Ming army is better." It's just a pity ......"
"That's what I mean, no, the Ming army doesn't have that ability, so what's the way, I can only say that!" The neighbor said, looking at the official road and stopped talking.
Most of the fishermen were also watching the war, and for them, there was no entertainment at all, it was just a pastime.
However, they suddenly found that the Jianyu army seemed to ignore the Ming army that fled to the mountains at all, but hurried along the official road. This situation surprised the fishermen again.
"What's the matter, Jianyu is in such a hurry, as if he is in a hurry to be reincarnated!"
"Just hurry up and go to reincarnation!" The old fisherman took the words, suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "Could it be to grab grain?" ”
"Grab food?" Some fishermen repeated, and then immediately echoed, "Yes, it must be a grain grab, in the past, it was Jianyu who came to grab grain, but now Jianyu occupies it, and the Ming army comes to grab grain, it must be like this!" ”
"But, can the Ming army defeat Jianyu?" The old fisherman's son finally couldn't hold it back and interjected.
As soon as they heard this, the enthusiasm of the fishermen suddenly decreased a lot. Yes, the Jianyu field is invincible, they come to grab food, and the Ming army can only stay in the city and watch. But the Ming army came to grab the grain, and as soon as the Jianyu was dispatched, could the grain still be grabbed?
The answer was obvious, and the fishermen shook their heads and sighed, and after watching for a while, they went about their own thing. However, they did not expect that after half an hour, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves on the official road, coming from far and near, towards Lushun.
