At Lushunkou, port construction has stopped, and more than 20,000 Qing troops were stationed around the bastion, and an uneasy atmosphere was spreading among the army.

In order to build Lushunkou and to prevent the attack of the army, more than 100,000 Korean civilians and 50,000 Qing troops were stationed in Lushunkou.

With so many people, daily food consumption can be said to be an astronomical figure.

The Qing court was located in the north and the domestic grain production was scarce, so it could only barely support itself.

This led to the Qing army having almost no grain reserves and Lushunkou had no grain reserves.

During the construction of Lushun, the Qing court sent grain to Lushun every half month. As Nanguan was occupied by Ganjun, Lushun had not obtained food and grass for most of the month.

Now most of the food and grass in Lushun are sent to the front line to Kong Youde's army, and Lushun has a serious shortage of food.

The 20,000 Qing troops who stayed in Lushun had already become thin, and more than 100,000 Koreans had basically lost food. They only had a meal of clear soup every day, and they had already been eating people.

Although the Koreans have very low combat power, more than 100,000 young and strong people will resist when they are forced to this point.

In recent days, there have been many riots in Lushunkou. Although the North Korean riots have been suppressed, they have also made Lushun a gunpowder barrel that explodes at a glance.

Mandahai stood on the bastion that had been completed, his eyes swept at Lushun Port, feeling a little anxious.

"Is there no news from King Gongshun?" Mandahai was worried.

Hou Zongze said: "Don't worry, Prince Gongsun is attacking the barbarians fiercely, and Prince Su is also attacking the south. I believe that it won't take long to ensure that the warriors of the Qing Dynasty will be able to open up the Nanguan Pass and the food will be delivered in soon!"

When Mandahai heard the words, he was a little impatient, "This has been said for half a month. How could the 130,000 army not be able to take over the Nanguan guarded by 20,000 barbarians? I see, it is Kong Youde who preserves his strength, and the Han soldiers are unwilling to use their lives!"

Mandahai was very worried about the situation in Lushun. If this continues, a major riot will sooner or later occur in Lushun City.

Chen Hongfan, who was standing beside him, said: "Prince, why don't the slaves urge King Gongshun again, or the prince sends the slaves to supervise the army!"

Mandahai nodded slightly when he heard the words, and was about to give an order, suddenly the generals around him exclaimed, "Prince! The barbarian's ship is here!"

When Mandahai heard the words, his heart trembled. He looked up and saw that there was a large shadow of sails outside Lushun's mouth.

Hundreds of large military ships on the sea are coming from the sky and the sun. The huge fleet is like a moving mountain on the sea.

"The main force of the barbarian is here!" Mandahai and others couldn't help but take a breath when they saw the spectacular scene.

In the mouth of Lushun, a harsh alarm sounded, and 20,000 Qing troops were hurriedly deploying defenses. Shadows were crowded on the fort, and Qing army gunners hurriedly controlled the artillery.

Although many of the turrets have not been completed, in order to prevent the army from working, some artillery were placed on each turret.

Looking at the huge fleet blocking the Lushun entrance, the Qing army on the fort was clamored by the officers, hurriedly loaded the cannons at the entrance of the harbor.

At this time, Gan Chao's fleet's flagship was flying colorful flags, Gao Huan sat on the Grand Master's chair, listening to his subordinates' report, "Report to Your Majesty, the fleet has arrived at Lushunkou, please give your Majesty the instructions!"

Gao Huan stood up, walked to the side of the boat, took the Qianli Mile Mile from the guards to watch, and the circular vision swept across the forts around the harbor, the docks and warehouses in the harbor, and the ridges standing on the hill, with a smile on his face.

"Haha~ It seems that Mandahai has not rested. In a few months, Lushunkou has almost built me!" Gao Huan put down the Qianlijing and couldn't help laughing.

Chen Tingyang also smiled and said, "Looking at the forts, docks, and castles, they are all built by stones. The Qing court should have invested a lot, and Mandahai has put a lot of effort into it!"

Gao Huan nodded slightly, "Building such a port will cost at least 100,000 people in virtual and real, and it will cost countless money and grain. Mandahai saved me millions of silver dollars. I will pay attention to it when I seize him!"

After the Gan army occupied Lushun, Lushun was far away from Ganchao, so we must strengthen defenses to prevent the Qing army from counterattacking.

This requires Ganchao to send a large number of civilians to cross the sea to build Lushun, which will inevitably cost huge amounts.

Now the Qing army built Lushun similarly, which undoubtedly saved Gao Huan a lot of money and food.

At this time, Gao Huan was standing next to the side of the ship and observing the Lushunkou, Mandahai was also observing the Ganjun's fleet.

He saw at least three hundred large ships on the sea, and he was a little panicked. He grabbed Chen Hongfan's clothes and shouted urgently, "Hurry! Tell Kong Youde immediately, and said that the main force of the barbarians was in Lushun, and asked him to quickly open up the Nanguan Pass and then lead the troops back to the rescue!"

He pushed hard, Chen Hongfan took a few steps back and saluted quickly, "Zhe! I'll go now!"

After speaking, he turned around in panic and went to Nanguan to report on the military situation in Lushun.

...

During the fierce battle for more than half a month, more than 5,000 soldiers were killed or injured, and the remaining less than 15,000 soldiers were divided into two parts, one was stationed at Nanposhan and the other was stationed at the wharf.

There are as many as 8,000 soldiers in the Nanposhan position. The position is mainly composed of Nanposhan and extends in both east and west directions. There are also large areas of fortifications at the foot of the mountain.

These fortifications are mainly trenches, low walls, horse-repellents, and barbed wire.

Among them, the barbed wire was a newly built defensive equipment by Gao Huan to send the Ministry of Works to ship to the second batch of military troops.

Ganchao's steel production can be said to be the best in the world. A country's iron production is even more than all countries in the world combined.

In addition to improving the efficiency of agricultural production, most of the iron is used in the military. Only by doing such national strength can you have financial resources to waste other countries as important strategic reserves.

Haoge looked at it with a thousand-mile mirror and found that there were almost wooden stakes in front of Ganjun's position, and something was connected between the stakes.

There are also wooden piles and barbed wire extensions from the Nanposhan to the wharf position, as well as the Bohai Sea to the west of the Nanposhan Road, which are used to block Nanguan and cut off the communication between Haoge and Kong Youde.

Although Haoge saw this kind of thing for the first time, as a long-time general on the battlefield, he could still see the role of these things at a glance.

"This should be an obstacle like deer antlers and refusing horses!" Haoge put down the Qianli Mile Mile and sneered: "Does the barbarian think this can prevent me from opening up the Nanguan?"

Seeing the visible Kong Youde army, Haoge was confident and immediately issued a combat order, "Pingxi King. You and Kong Youde attacked the north and south, and took down the Nanposhan position of the Barbarian. Oboi, you lead your troops to attack the wharf and drive the Barbarian into the sea to prevent the Barbarian's reinforcements from landing again."

Judging from the gap between the first wave of Gan Army and the second wave of Gan Army, the third wave of reinforcements of Gan Army should be coming soon.

After more than half a month of war, Lushun's food was exhausted. Haoge dared not let the army ashore again, so as not to dream too much at night.

On the other side, Kong Youde also found Gan Jun's barbed wire, which made him frown.

At this time, Kong Youde stared at Gan Jun's position, and intuition told him that the position in front of him might be more difficult to attack than before. Just as he was hesitating, a cavalry rushed over.

"King Shun, I have an urgent military report!" Chen Hongfan turned over and dismounted, and pointed at the south side and reported urgently, "The main force of the military has arrived at Lushunkou!"

"What?" Kong Youde's heart was trembling when he heard the words, and his color changed. "Will the third group of barbarians land on Lushun?"
