"Returning to the marshal, the forward General Bai Mu has completely annihilated the Qing army of 3,000 people, including more than 1,200 beheaded, more than 1,700 captured, and beheaded the Qing army general Bayan under the city of Liaoyang. ”

Bai Mu's forward victory, sent someone to report the victory, Jiang Chuan was overjoyed, and said to the scout who came to report the news: "Pass my commander's order, let Bai Mu's five thousand strikers wait for the opportunity to move, if the Tartars send troops out of the city to fight, if they can fight, they will fight, and if they can't fight, they will be contained, and when my main force arrives, they will not risk attacking the city." ”

"No!" The scout was ordered to leave, and Jiang Chuan ordered the main force of the Chinese army to speed up.

Bayan was defeated and died, and the whole army of 3,000 men and horses was annihilated, Feiyangu was shocked, and ordered the four gates of Liaoyang City to be closed, the whole city was under martial law, and the four gates of the defenders in the city were under martial law, and once again sent people to Guangning Gaizhou for help.

Before dark, the main force of Jiangchuan's Chinese army arrived at the city of Liaoyang and set up camp outside the south gate of Liaoyang. In addition, three cavalry detachments were sent to cruise around the other three gates to monitor the movements of the Qing army.

There was nothing to do all night, and after breakfast for the whole army early the next morning, Jiang Chuan ordered an attack.

Jiang Chuan didn't plan to stay behind this time, and made preparations to storm Liaoyang from the beginning. Therefore, he did not take any false tricks such as fire testing at all, and ordered the twenty cannons of the Shenji Battalion to line up and aim at the Liaoyang city wall.

The original artillery captain Li Han has been promoted to the captain of the Shenji Battalion, and in addition to the twenty-nine red-coated cannons, there are five hundred musketeers in the battalion.

The 500 musketeers are the firearms units composed of the training team of the new barracks in Jiangchuan, and the total number of musketeers is divided into 500 musket squads, and each squad has a captain and a deputy captain. 500 people formed the musket brigade, with Guan Hu and Su Dingfang serving as the captain and deputy captain respectively.

The musket brigade was hung under the name of the Shenji Battalion, but the specific actions were under the direct command of Jiang Chuan, and the focus of Li Han, the captain of the Shenji Battalion, was still on the artillery team.

Twenty red-clothed cannons were lined up, with long and thick barrels pointing obliquely at the sky, and the muzzles of the black holes could not be seen, like a man-eating tiger ready to choose people to devour.

The 500 musketeers wore short red uniforms made of a single piece, wore saucer-shaped helmets, carried muskets on their shoulders, and hung swords from their waists, lined up in a neat phalanx, guarding behind the artillery team, and shouldering the defense tasks of the artillery team.

Guan Hu and Su Dingfang were at the front of the array, and the other was at the end of the array, commanding the whole team.

The 300 artillerymen also wore the same short red military uniforms as the musketeers, with short swords hanging from their waists, and stood on both sides of the red-coated cannons, performing their duties and firing at any time when they were ordered.

Li Han stood on the far left side of the artillery array, his eyes looking at the towering cloud car in front of the main force in the rear.

Jiang Chuan stood tall above the cloud car, dressed in silver armor, his helmet was like blood, and his waist hung a long sword. Next to him was a military commander Li Qian, and Sima Muyi of the Chinese army and three flag soldiers.

Mu Yi has survived more than three months in the new barracks, and has changed from a fair and elegant noble son to a tough guy with a dark and rough complexion, but exuding a heroic military appearance and standard military posture.

Although he had been training in the army for three months before, it was only when he was in it that he could feel how dizzying, cold and strong the iron-blooded hero division of the Jiang family army was.

Although there was no war, the murderous aura emanating from the military formations had already made people's hearts beat like thunder, their blood boiled, and they couldn't help themselves.

Being in such an army, he felt that he had never been born with a pride that he had never had before, and he thought that following such an army, even if there was a sea of swords and fires in front of him, he would be fearless and could crush him.

Behind the cloud body, there are neatly arranged black phalanxes, cold and silent, silent as a forest, but no one dares to underestimate it.

"Marshal, the artillery is in place!" Mu Yi saw the flag on the artillery position and said in a condensed voice to Jiang Chuan.

"Okay, order the artillery to select one of the sections of Liaoyang South City to concentrate on attacking, and fire twenty rounds in bursts, giving me the shortest time to blast Liaoyang City out of a hole." Jiang Chuan categorically ordered.

"No!" The military commander Li Jian received the order loudly, and then commanded the flag soldiers next to him to wave the flag and issue an order to the artillery position in the flag language.

After receiving the order, Li Han took out the long knife on his waist and slashed forward, hissing, "Open the cannon!" ”

Twenty red-coated cannons that had already been loaded were ignited almost simultaneously on the arquebus at the tail of the cannon, and with the sound of snorting, the gunpowder at the bottom of the cannon chamber was ignited and detonated, bursting out with huge energy, pushing the solid iron egg in the cannon chamber to spew forward at the fastest speed, leaving the cannon chamber, and smashing towards the wall of the south gate of Liaoyang with a whistling sound through the beautiful lines in the air.

Twenty red-coated cannons exploded almost simultaneously, and white smoke almost instantly filled the entire artillery position, enveloping the people around the cannons.

Twenty huge solid iron bullets flew over a distance of two or three miles, and smashed heavily on the city wall, and suddenly the bricks and stones splashed, the city wall shook, and the splashed bricks and stones shot out in all directions, injuring many Qing troops who were waiting for the city head, and suddenly caused chaos.

If Feiyangu hadn't dodged quickly, he would have almost been hit by a rock.

When he got up from the ground in embarrassment, he found that many soldiers around him had fallen in pools of blood, many of them were covering their wounds and wailing and screaming, and a small number of unlucky ones were directly hit by the rubble and killed on the spot.

There was also a cannonball that seemed to be raised higher than the muzzle, and fell directly into the crowd of Qing troops on the city wall, directly ploughing out a blood ditch, and the severed limbs and stumps were sprinkled all over the place, which was shocking, and some recruits who had just been arrested saw this scene and ran directly to the side and vomited wildly.

Feiyangu was horrified, completely unaware that the enemy would use such a fierce attack at the beginning, instead of using the tactics of crowds to climb the city walls to take the city like the traditional siege method.

This fierce offensive suddenly dealt a huge blow to the already low morale of the Qing army.

But he had nothing to do, because Liaoyang City didn't have any artillery that could compete with the red-coated cannons, and some were only some small cannons like the Tiger Squat Cannon, which still had some lethality for the dense infantry at close range, but there was no counter-ability for the long-range red-coated cannons at all.

Feiyangu knew that the red-clothed cannon of the Jiang family army was taken away from Tong Yangxing, although he scolded Tong Yangxing in his heart for deserving to die, but he still had no choice but to order the soldiers to carry away the wounded and corpses, and then explain to the soldiers to lie down and fire the cannons.

The Qing army had not finished cleaning up the corpses and rubble on the city wall, and the second round of shells whistled and smashed over.
