"On December 23, the Shandong Army assembled 88,000 troops in Liaoyang City, Liaodong. The Shandong government army was full of momentum, crossing the Taizi River in one fell swoop and attacking the fake Qing Shengjing Shenyang. When asked about the soldiers' attitude towards this offensive, the soldiers said easily that they could fight to Chenyang for the Spring Festival! There were seven days left before the Spring Festival. It would be annihilated or expelled the Qing 200,000 troops within seven days, or to fight in winter. At the same time, the Liaodong Operations General Staff also stated that it was not difficult to fight to Chenyang for the Spring Festival within seven days. If you recover Liaodong one day, you would be able to rescue Liaodong compatriots one day earlier..."

The war correspondent immediately sent the written manuscript back to Shandong.

The second is that the Shandong army crossed the Prince River was moving all the way, regardless of the surrounding Qing army, and rushed towards Chenyang. There was no Qing army blocking it on the way.

However, Duoduo had already received information from Shandong troops gathering in Liaoyang, and Duoduo had already assembled 100,000 troops and gathered in the Sancha River area.

According to Duoduo's speculation, if the Shandong army wants to attack, it will definitely go to the Sancha River line.

Because if you walk along the Prince River, you have to cross a Hun River.

There are two rivers in the middle, but by walking through Sancha River, you can directly advance along the Hun River to Chenyang, saving you the time to cross the river in the middle.

Except for Sancha River, which assembled 100,000 troops, Duoduo's other troops were distributed in various places to defend, as well as 80,000 defenders in Shenyang. Previously, Li Ran's third battalion suddenly attacked Fushun and transferred Duoduo's 50,000 cavalry to Fushun.

When the Shandong Army suddenly captured Fushun, Duoduo naturally did not allow a thorn in his eyes to be placed there. If Fushun was occupied by the Shandong Army, he would probably not pass the future days. It would take a lot of energy to deal with the troubles of the Shandong Army in Fushun.

Therefore, the 30,000 infantry in Shenyang were transferred to Fushun, and 20,000 cavalry were transferred back to Shenyang, and 70,000 young and strong Han people were recruited to attack Fushun.

However, the Shandong Army in Liaoyang suddenly came from Taizi River and caught Duoduo off guard. It was nothing, just let the 100,000 soldiers from Sancha River chase after it, but the problem was that the Shandong Army was equipped with a large number of sleds.

The Shandong Army, which has a large number of sleds, has a much faster marching speed than usual.

Because of the use of sleds, a lot of horsepower is saved. If it is a normal marching, an infantryman and a middle-aged horse are the most basic. However, after using the sled, a horse can pull six people, and it is also very easy. For a poorer horse, it is also OK to pull 4 or 5 people, but the Shandong army generally does not use inferior horses.

Using the same number of horses can keep the army moving forward at a speed that is always trotting. The artillery is pulled with large sleds, and those heavy artillery can be easily pulled by three or four horses.

As a result, the 100,000 Qing troops in Sanchahe could not catch up with the marching speed of the Shandong army.

The Qing Dynasty was severely damaged. Only half of the 100,000 Qing troops were equipped with war horses, and the others were infantry. These horses were led by Jirgalang and Daishan.

Although these troops reached 100,000, Duoduo did not want to greatly increase the strength of the brothers Jirgalang and Daishan, so he did not give them too good equipment and placed Jirgalang and Daishan in Sanchahe.

Infighting is inevitable.

At this time, almost all the experienced Qing Dynasty died almost all, leaving only Duoduo, Jirhalang and Amin.

There is also a Shuotuo, who is quite qualified, while others are some juniors.

Duoduo was very uneasy not to solve Jirgalang and Daishan, but at this moment, it was not appropriate to fight too much, so Duoduo never attacked the people. He just transferred them to Sanchahe, which meant to resist the Shandong army and weakened the strength of the two brothers. However, in action, Duoduo still showed no intention of attacking the two.

At the same time, there are also insufficient horses. Although Liaodong is a horse-producing land, the Qing Dynasty caused great damage to production after conquering Liaodong.

In Liaodong, only people cultivate in plains, and most areas do not have intensive cultivation.

Moreover, since Huangtaiji prepared for war, it has caused even more damage to Liaodong's production. After Duoduo became emperor, the Qing Dynasty was in a period of severe damage. In order to cope with the aggressive trend of the Shandong army, Duoduo prepared for war again, and Liaodong's production withered again.

Liaodong, which originally needed to sell horses from Mongolia, was tortured by Huang Taiji and Duoduo, but the horses were insufficient. Duoduo had to equip his own troops, so naturally there were no war horses for Jirgalang and Amin.

At the same time, food and grass have begun to trouble the Qing army. In order to reduce the consumption of grass, even inferior horses are rarely rationed, because inferior horses cannot charge and can only be used for transportation, and even transportation is not convenient. In the eyes of the Qing army, inferior horses can only be used to drag baggage in combat, so naturally they will not want to use the middle horses to provide soldiers with transportation as extravagantly as the Shandong army.

After learning that the Shandong army had crossed the Prince River and rushed towards Shenyang, Jirgalang and Daishan also struggled to catch up with the Shandong army.

But Duoduo plotted against him, half of the soldiers and horses were pulled behind, and the other 50,000 cavalry barely chased the Shandong army. However, at this time, the two cavalry troops were already exhausted.

The distance between Sancha River and Taizi River is about 200 miles, and the distance between the two armies is a hundred miles apart. If you want to catch up, you can imagine the overdrawing of horsepower.

The Shandong Army stayed in a state of stopping at the right time. On the first day, marching 120 miles, and came directly to the Hunhe River. The other side of the Hunhe River was Shenyang.

And for these 120 miles, it only took the Shandong Army half a day.

Jirgalang and Amin, with 50,000 cavalry, rushed to the other side of the Hun River panting, and happened to run into the Shandong army who was about to cross the river.

On the other side, there are 30,000 cavalrymen from Shenyang.

The 30,000 cavalry had just been transferred back from Fushun, but there were still 20,000 cavalry left in Fushun, and there were 30,000 infantry and 70,000 young and strong Han people attacking Fushun.

The offensive of the Shandong Army in Liaoyang was too sudden. It took only half a day to march from Taizi River to Hunhe, which is only 7 miles away from Shenyang.

When Duoduo received the news, the Shandong army was about to reach the city, and there were only 30,000 cavalry who had just been transferred back, and the other soldiers were in Fushun.

Fushun is 90 miles away from Shenyang (Baidu range measurement), and if those soldiers and horses want to be transferred back, they will take at least one day to go.

But the Shandong army had already reached the other side of the Hunhe River.

It took only half a day. The defense line of Taizi River was like a paper-paste, and it was not resisted at all. As for Hun River, the river surface was much wider, and the river channel was more than 200 meters wide.

But in winter, the Hun River and the Prince River are frozen!

Moreover, the temperature in winter is low and the ice is thick. Even if the people trampled hard on it, there would be no danger.

As soon as the Shandong army arrived along the Hun River, they began to force the river to cross.

Although it seemed hasty, the Liaodong Operations Command was well prepared, with two thousand engineers having enough materials to set up river crossing facilities.

The forced crossing preparations took two hours, and the artillery set up rows of artillery and rocket launchers, and the engineers also prepared anti-slip facilities across the river.

The 80,000 Qing cavalry on the other side were all ready for battle. But from the telescope, it can be seen that the Qing army on the opposite side was very nervous.

Since they came into contact with the Shandong Army last year, they have increasingly felt like locals. The Shandong Army exudes a civilized power that makes them feel heavy.

The cannons on Chenyang City were hurriedly removed and set up to the other side of the river.

The artillery battle between the two sides officially kicked off at 3:00 pm with the sound of artillery from the Shandong Army. The shell fell directly to the edge of the Qing army's artillery position.

The Qing army's artillery positions were located far away from the river bank. They wanted to use the width of the river surface of the two hundred meters so that Shandong artillery could not hit them, but they could also hit the Shandong army that forced to cross the river.

But the Qing Dynasty's wishful thinking was wrong.

After correcting the Shandong artillery of Zhuyuan, he immediately bombed the Qing army's artillery positions.

The deafening sound of artillery was almost all heard from the Shandong Army's artillery positions. Among the thousands of artillery, hundreds of heavy artillery more than 125 mm were fired together.

The shells fell on the Qing army's artillery positions like raindrops, and the Qing army's artillery immediately launched a counterattack.

However, these artillery soldiers in desperation forgot their location. They were too far from the Shandong army on the other side. The shells hit the other side of the river and had no lethality.

However, there were still some casualties in the Shandong army on the other side. Although the shells were indeed weak, they would still kill people if they hit them.

However, after the first wave of artillery shells flew in the Qing army's artillery position, a very tragic scene occurred.

After the heavy artillery shells fell off, the power that exploded during the explosion directly defeated the Qing army's artillery positions.

The artillery was blown away, the artillery was either killed or injured, and the gunpowder on the position exploded, but the power of the explosion was even greater. After a loud bang, there were few people standing on the Qing army's artillery positions.

Under such shelling, no one can exist safely, at least they will be slightly injured.

It doesn't matter if people are. What's important is that many of the red cannons on the position were distorted and deformed, and some were even blown up and then turned over.

After dealing with the Qing army's artillery, the Shandong artillery on the river bank began to open fire on the other side in an all-round way, and the Qing army simply entered a distance of 1,200 meters.

It was about 1,500 meters, but the heavy artillery could be blown up, and for the rockets, the distance was just enough to hit.

The shells and rockets fell from the sky and fell directly into the crowd of Qing cavalry.

A very tragic scene appeared.

Many of the rockets were shot over the Qing army and exploded when they were shot, and shrapnel were scattered from the sky. The artillery shells used by the Shandong army were different from those of later generations.

The Shandong Army's artillery shells are controlled by fuses. Explosions in a few seconds are explosions in a few seconds. Sometimes some errors will occur. The technical requirements for artillery are high. Once the explosion occurs over the enemy, the lethality is absolutely amazing. A large number of shrapnel are suddenly spilled over the Qing army in front, and there are heavy casualties in an instant.

The artillery shells in later generations exploded after landing, and their lethality was not so strong, but the artillery technical surname was greatly reduced. As long as they were shot out, they could be shot accurately. Don’t consider the time of the artillery shells.

At this time! The engineer began to act.
