In the eyes of many people in the Ming Dynasty, Lu Xiangsheng was the spiritual pillar.
His defeat and death also caused many people to have a mental breakdown.
It also caused many people in the Ming Dynasty to look at the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to look at this new regime.
Because of this, after Lu Xiangsheng's defeat, the Ming army gradually began to surrender to the Qing army on a large scale.
The bad influence caused by it was far beyond the imagination of the world.
Lu Xiangsheng had always wanted to turn the tide and save Ming from fire and water. He probably did not expect that after his death, it would cause such terrible consequences, right?
Li Sheng looked in the direction of Zhili in the west and bowed slightly. He raised his wine cup and shook it before falling to the ground and muttering to himself,"Governor Lu, have a safe journey!"
"I will protect the people of the Divine Prefecture!”
"The Divine Great Land will never fall into a state where the entire land is filled with the stench of blood!”
Li Sheng knew that with Lu Xiangsheng's defeat and death, the people who traveled with him in this world were almost extinct.
From now on, he would walk alone.
In the end, the sadness dissipated, and his face was filled with determination. He turned his head to the north and looked at the battlefield in the South Pass.
.......
South Pass defense line.
The Manchu Qing army of the Golden State Guards arrived in front of the South Pass defense line and set up camp.
Looking at the defense line of the South Pass, there were many forts on the mountains.
The general of the Golden State Guard, Bululu, frowned. His scalp went numb and he had a headache.
He, the Eight Banners Warrior, was not afraid of anything. What he feared the most was a siege.
In a siege, the most terrifying thing was the fortresses that were scattered all over the mountains outside the city.
Obviously, the situation he was facing was worse than he had imagined.
With just a casual glance, he could see that the fortresses on the mountains did not exist independently, but could support and respond to each other.
The heavy crossbows on the fortress made his scalp tingle.
At the same time, he could vaguely see many trebuchets.
Catapults were not only a siege weapon, but also a defensive weapon.
Who wouldn't be afraid of a long-range attack from above and a huge rock falling from the sky?
What was even more terrifying was that the attacking side had no place to hide at all.
They could only form an army formation and charge forward!
If they did not charge forward, they would never be able to take down such a stronghold.
Not only were there heavy ballistae and trebuchets on the mountain forts, but trenches were dug around every mountain, protecting the fortresses like walls.
Even if they had to pay a huge price to reach the foot of the mountain, they would still have to wipe out the garrison at the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountain if they wanted to break through the fortress.
As for the defenders at the higher ground, they had the geographical advantage. Not only could they protect themselves better, but they could also slash and assassinate from above.
Without a doubt, the attacking side would have to pay a huge price if they wanted to take a step forward.
Golden State Guard General Bululu was in a bad state. It was obvious that he had encountered the situation that gave him the most headache and even the most he didn't want to encounter.
This was a tough bone!
If it was in the pass, if it was an internal battle of the Ming Dynasty.
When he encountered such a tough nut to crack, he would turn around and run. Whoever wanted to bite it could bite it. Anyway, he would not bite it.
Biting on such a tough bone would definitely cause one's teeth to break.
This was a bloody deal!
However, this was not an internal battle of the Great Ming Dynasty. This was the Liaodong Peninsula, the old nest of the Great Qing Dynasty.
Even if he had to hold on to his scalp, he had to bite it off!
If he couldn't, he could imagine how miserable the consequences would be.
" Master, I've found it!!"
"The leader of the bandits is a young man called Li Sheng. He is the orphan of the Dongjiang Army!”
"Before this, he was nothing but a serf in Dalha Manor.”
" Not long ago, he found a group of strong elite men from who knows where, killed Dalha, and occupied Dalha's manor. There was also an endless stream of strong elite men who defected from overseas.”
"Before this, our Banner people on Lushun Peninsula were prepared to attack them after investigating the situation to prevent future trouble!”
"I never thought that Li Sheng would make the first move, causing the entire Lushun Peninsula to fall."
A confidant whispered to Bruru.
"Li Sheng!"
"Dongjiang Army's orphan?"
Brulhu frowned and looked confused.""Elites hidden in the islands?”
"Could it be a backup plan prepared by Mao Wenlong?”
"If so, then Mao Wenlong is thinking too far ahead, right?”
"Also, why did these remnants of the Dongjiang Army choose Li Sheng?”
"Li Sheng's father is just a veteran of the Dongjiang Army!”
This made Bluru unable to figure it out!
However, knowing that the leader of the bandits was a survivor of the Dongjiang Army, he also knew why these bandits were so bold.
Although the Dongjiang Army was destroyed and vanished into thin air.
However, there was no lack of tough bones among the survivors of the Dongjiang Army. These tough bones had always been bold.
When Mao Wenlong was still alive, the Dongjiang Army had been plundering the Manchu Empire. At the same time, they had been very bold and did not listen to the orders of the Ming Dynasty.
Courage was the distinctive characteristic of the Dongjiang Army!
After knowing that Li Sheng was the orphan of the Dongjiang Army and was likely to be one of the toughest people in the Dongjiang Army, he was very surprised.
Bruru knew that this was going to be a tough battle.
Without a fight, it would be impossible for these bandits to leave Lushun Peninsula.
Moreover, the remaining members of the Dongjiang Army couldn't go anywhere.
They could only occupy a piece of land near Liaodong and settle down.
The Lushun Peninsula was the best choice for the Dongjiang Army.
If they didn't beat them in pain, it would be impossible for them to retreat.
With this in mind, Bruru immediately ordered,""Push the cannons up and try firing!”
He immediately ordered the cannons to fire!
Because almost all of the elite soldiers and firearms had been transferred to enter the pass to plunder Great Ming.
As a result, the Golden State Guards didn't have the powerful Hong Yi Cannons.
There were only seven or eight cannons that had been seized from the Ming army for hundreds of years.
This kind of antique had a very short range.
They couldn't open fire from a few miles away, so they could only push closer.
However, they did not dare to get close to the range of the heavy crossbows on the fortress. They could only fire from a distance of 500 to 600 meters.
Seven or eight small cannons fired from five to six hundred meters away. Their accuracy was extremely poor. After a few rounds, they only blew up the soil beside the trenches at the foot of the mountain.
It was no threat to the fortress on the mountain.
Even if they were lucky, the shells landed on the bunkers on the mountain.
But like a rubber ball, it bounced away instantly.
He had only wiped off a layer of the fortress's skin, and the scene of the fortress collapsing would not appear at all.
Seeing this, Bruulu felt awkward.
" What trash!!"
"Retreat, retreat!"
"Useless trash!"
He immediately cursed and told the artillery to scram.
After bombarding the fortress for half a day, they only managed to take down a layer of the fortress's skin. He was getting anxious!
He had no other choice since he had failed to probe.
He could only order the infantry to use their lives to test the firepower of the rebel army.
