Liaodong!

On a cold winter night, everyone hid in a tent and did not dare to face the cold wind outside.

It's too cold outside. If you stand outside and don't move, you're very likely to be frostbite, and thinner people may even be frozen to death.

Before dawn came, the Shandong Army camp that had passed the Hunhe River was already noisy.

The battalions had already awakened the soldiers early and then buried the pot to make rice.

Duoduo did not sleep all night, and the Shandong army was already at the city and was dispatching troops all night. At the same time, the gold, silver and jewelry in Chenyang City were to be taken away, armor and weapons were brought, and all the people in the city had to evacuate.

Although I was prepared before, I was so thorough.

Although the Shandong Army has not replied to the letter, Duoduo is very confident and confident that the Shandong Army will definitely not dare to act rashly. Judging from his combat style towards the Shandong Army, the Shandong Army attaches great importance to the Han people in Liaodong.

He felt that the Shandong Army was still considering it, but he would still compromise in the end.

However, Duoduo underestimated the determination of the Shandong army to destroy the Qing Dynasty, and at all costs.

The dawn of dawn appeared on the horizon of the Liaodong Plain. The dawn of winter came very late, and some misty light appeared only after nearly six o'clock.

However, just as dawn arrived, the 90,000 soldiers of the Shandong army had already eaten breakfast and were on standby.

"Start." Liu Heng shouted, and in a short while, the entire army rushed towards Chenyang, seven miles away.

The Qing army camp was located five miles away from the Shandong army. When the Qing army was burying pots and making rice, Duoduo had already received the news. He was stunned at first, and then asked loudly: "Do they want to fight?"

"I...I don't know." Fan Wencheng stammered.

"Blow the trumpet and fight." Duoduo shouted with murderous intent.

...The Shandong army had just traveled less than a mile, and the Qing army was waiting in the distance.

The Qing army's 100,000 cavalry stood two miles away from the Shandong army, forming a confrontation. Duoduo transferred the 20,000 Qing soldiers from Fushun overnight yesterday, and the cavalry in his hand had reached 100,000.

However, many of these 100,000 people were recruits, not as experienced as the original Eight Banners. In addition to these 100,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantrymen came from behind, and the 40,000 infantry transferred back by Duoduo Company, the force had reached 160,000.

The Shandong army opposite was only 88,000, of which 30,000 were the Eight Banners of the Han army.

Duoduo intended to negotiate and sent a messenger over again, but the Shandong army flatly refused. Duoduo's face turned pale. Amin looked at the Shandong army opposite. Although he had not fought with the Shandong army several times, his heart was cold and said to Duoduo: "Your Majesty, let's retreat!"

"Retreat? Where to retreat?" Duoduo scolded: "As soon as we retreat, these Ming dogs will bite them immediately. If our tribe members are gone, will we still have a place to turn over?"

Amin couldn't help but be silent after hearing this. If he retreated, the Shandong army would probably be even more ruined once it bites. After all, there are still 160,000 troops in hand. Once he retreats, the first thing he will die will be the 60,000 infantry.

Once the infantry loses, the cavalry can run, but what does their tribe members use to run?

All the tribe members died, what did they make a comeback?

"War, there is only war now." Duoduo yelled: "This battle is related to the fate of our Qing Dynasty and the life and death of our Manchu clan. Anyone who dares to retreat will be beheaded."

"Yes." When the flags heard Duoduo say this, they couldn't help but feel a surge of blood.

Duoduo's determination to fight to the death was that the Zhenghuang Banner directly dispersed the commanders of each banner, and the flags were also in awe.

The Shandong army opposite had already formed a formation at this moment.

Twenty thousand cavalry are distributed on both wings, and infantry are arranged in the center. Thirty thousand cannon fodder troops are at the end. These cannon fodder troops are not unable to fight tough battles.

The Shandong Army also has strict military laws - those who retreat will be killed!

It’s just that these cannon fodder troops are used for street fighting, not for field fighting, and they don’t have muskets in their hands, so they are not suitable for being at the forefront.

This move moved the cannon fodder troops behind them.

I thought they would rush to the front in this battle, but I didn't expect to put them behind.

Both sides were deploying troops and did not launch an attack for a while.

The Shandong Army's artillery did not even open a single shot, and just let the Qing army spread its formation one mile away. The Qing army naturally knew that the Shandong Army had powerful artillery, but this battle was no longer allowed to retreat.

After Duoduo made arrangements, he remained in the command of the central army. Because he didn't want to be killed by artillery shells, he prepared an iron house early. This iron house was made of pig iron, and the red cannons could only make a sunken gap.

The Shandong Army's howitzers are far less powerful than that impact, and it is no problem to block the shrapnel of the bomb.

However, Duoduo did not dare to take the lead in launching an attack. They had completely lost their confidence in going to the Qing army. Many soldiers in the Qing army were very nervous when they looked at the Shandong army arranged in square formations in the distance.

The initiative is completely in the hands of the Shandong Army.

The staff members boarded the command chariot, looked at the Qing army formation in the distance, and studied the offensive plan.

"Their infantry is in it, and the cavalry is arranged on both wings, exactly the same as ours."

"The Qing Dynasty infantry did not need to be cared about. These infantry could not escape. The important thing was the 100,000 cavalry on both wings. It would be best to wipe out all of them in this battle." Liu Heng said.

"Then attack the left or right wing first, cover it with artillery fire, and then the infantry advances anyway, attack the Qing cavalry on the flank. The cavalry forces wait for an opportunity to move. If the Qing army charges against the infantry, they will penetrate the diagonally..." a staff officer suggested.

"No," Liu Heng nodded in agreement, "The biggest flaw in this formation of the Qing Dynasty is that their infantry cannot play a role like our infantry battalion, and they divide the cavalry into left and right wings."

"Send an order to shell the right wing of the Qing army. The artillery battalion attacks the Qing army's artillery. The first infantry battalion prepares to attack the right wing of the Qing army, and the left-wing cavalry cooperates with the cooperation." Liu Heng immediately issued an order.

The artillery began soon, with three infantry battalions, each with two hundred artillery pieces, a total of 600 artillery pieces, plus 250 heavy artillery pieces of the artillery battalion.

Eight hundred and fifty cannons suddenly opened fire one after another.

Only the rumbling sound of cannons was heard one after another, and scattered smoke rose behind the array. The shells rose one by one to the sky and smashed towards the right wing of the Qing army.

That was more than 800 artillery pieces, nearly thirty shells fell from the sky every second. But the more than 200 heavy artillery pieces were fired by the Qing army's artillery.

The Qing army's artillery was placed in front, which was very conspicuous.

Suddenly, the artillery in front of the Qing army was destroyed one after another.

Under the shelling of artillery, the Qing cavalry on the right wing was overturned, and the formation was chaotic by shelling.

"Road up to me with the right wing." Duoduo's eyes hopped in the iron house. When he saw the Shandong army launching artillery attacks, he knew that the decisive battle had begun.

The Qing army could not stand there stupidly and be bombarded. The only way was to rush up.

At this time, the Shandong Army did not defend against the offensive, but was in a dignified formation. Duoduo ordered the right wing to charge. He believed that without a defensive offensive, 50,000 to fight 20,000, he would definitely win. Although the price might be heavy, the Shandong Army was aggressive and they could no longer escape.

When Duoduo ordered a charge, the first infantry battalion on the left wing of the Shandong Army also began to advance.

Under Zhao Yan's command, the First Infantry Battalion stepped in neat steps and approached the Qing army ahead. As soon as it walked a few dozen meters, the Qing cavalry in front suddenly began to rush forward.

"Stop moving forward, prepare for the first row..." Zhao Yong shouted loudly, and the first infantry battalion stopped immediately, and the musketeers in front began to prepare.

“First row preparation.”

"put……"

The Qing army was still five hundred meters away, and the musketeers in the first row fired the first shot amid the command.

The bullets shot out along the rifle. The Qing army was rushing towards them with shells five hundred meters away. The cavalry in front suddenly fell down a row, and the Qing army in the distance was stunned.

So far away, I can even beat it?

The new muskets gave the Qing Dynasty an unexpected blow on the battlefield.

The second row of musketeers quickly stepped forward, aimed at the Qing army rushing forward, pulled the trigger again, and shot the bullets in the gun chamber... The third row continued to move forward.

Every time the fire was shot, a dense firepower net was formed. The Qing army rushed in either horses or humans were shot. In the dense charge, there was always an unlucky guy.

The cotton armor on their bodies was not even effective.

However, the loading speed is slower than the previous rifle. However, the number of shots increased by more than ten volleys than before.

The Qing army rushed forward, with the cooperation of artillery shells and muskets, rushed all the way, but there were too many Qing army rushed forward and continued to advance.

This time, the Qing army's war horses seemed to have undergone special training. Although some horses were still crazy, most of them were normal.

On the horse, the Qing army showed a hideous face and urged the horses to rush towards the First Infantry Battalion.

It seems that in their opinion, just rush over and you can win!

When they rushed to the Shandong Army a hundred meters away, tens of thousands of Qing troops on the right wing had died. The artillery of the Shandong Army was still constantly bombarding the Qing army rushing behind.

"The musketeers retreated and got bayonets."

"Retreat, retreat..."

Three thousand musketeers quickly retreated from the five passages. The 1,500 spearmen in front lined into three square formations, each with five hundred people.

The spearmen in the first two rows directly placed the end of the spear on the ground, aimed the spear upright at the Qing army, making the gun formation turn into a big hedgehog.

The Qing army rushed over and directly hit the gun of the first battalion.

The Qing army in front rushed to the muzzle and hit it directly. The horse was penetrated into a big hole, and some hurriedly pulled the reins tightened.

The spearmen in the two rows were squatting on the ground, holding the spears pillared on the ground with one hand and holding one in the other. Facing the cavalry rushing towards him at high speed, the spearmen in the front row often knocked away the guns and people when blocking them.

From the mouths of the European mercenaries of the Ming Dynasty, European infantry used this tactic to deal with cavalry. So the spearmen began to use this set of tactics. The spearmen in front prepared two spears, dug a shallow pit on the ground, put the tail of the gun in the pit, and the enemy crashed into it, which could transfer the impact force to the ground.

The spear is four meters long, and two rows of spearmen are enough to block the rushing cavalry. As long as the speed of these cavalry is reduced, it will be very easy to solve.

The cavalry who stays in place will definitely not be able to defeat the infantry!
