"On December 23 of the tenth year, the Shandong army gathered 88,000 troops in Liaoyang City, Liaodong, and the Shandong officers and troops were like rainbows, crossing the Taizi River in one fell swoop and smashing the puppet Qingsheng Beijing and Shenyang. When asked about the attitude of the soldiers towards the offensive, the soldiers said with ease that they could fight until Shenyang for the Spring Festival! There are still seven days left before the Spring Festival. It is extremely difficult to fight in Shenyang in seven days, annihilate or expel 200,000 Manchu troops in seven days, or fight in winter. At the same time, the Liaodong Operations Staff Headquarters also said that it would not be difficult to reach Shenyang for the Spring Festival within seven days, and that the sooner Liaodong was recovered, the sooner it was possible to rescue the Liaodong compatriots......

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

Second, the Shandong army, which crossed the Taizi River, marched all the way, ignoring the surrounding Qing troops, and rushed straight to Shenyang, and there was no Qing army blocking them on the road.

However, Duoduo had already received information that the Shandong army had gathered in Liaoyang, so Duoduo had already gathered 100,000 troops and assembled in the area of the Sancha River.

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

Because if you take the Taizi River, you have to cross a muddy river.

There are two rivers in the middle, but if you take the Sancha River, you can directly advance along the banks of the Hunhe River to Shenyang, and the time to cross a river is saved in the middle.

In addition to the 100,000 troops gathered at the Sancha River, Duoduo's other troops were distributed in various places for defense, as well as the 80,000 defenders in Shenyang, after Li Ran's third battalion suddenly attacked Fushun and transferred Duoduo's 50,000 cavalry to Fushun.

If Fushun is occupied by the Shandong army, it is estimated that the future will not pass, and it will take a huge amount of energy to deal with the disturbance of the Fushun Shandong army.

Therefore, the 30,000 infantry in Shenyang were also transferred to Fushun, and at the same time 20,000 cavalry were transferred back to Shenyang, and 70,000 Han people were recruited to attack Fushun.

However, Liaoyang's Shandong army suddenly came from the Taizi River, and Duoduo was caught off guard. Originally, it was nothing, just let the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Sancha River catch up, but the problem was that the Shandong army was equipped with a large number of sleds.

The Shandong army, which had a large number of sleds, marched much faster than usual.

Because of the use of the sled, a lot of horsepower is saved. If it is an ordinary march, it is the most basic for an infantry to travel with a medium horse, but after using a sled, a horse can pull six people, and it is very easy, and a worse inferior horse can pull 4 or 5 people, but the Shandong army generally does not use inferior horses.

With the same number of horses, it allowed the army to keep moving at a trotting horse. The artillery was drawn by large sleds, and the heavy guns could be easily pulled by three or four horses.

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

The vitality of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was greatly damaged, and only half of the 100,000 Qing troops were equipped with war horses, and the rest were infantry. These soldiers and horses were led by Zilharang and Daishan.

Although these soldiers and horses reached 100,000, Duoduo did not want to increase the strength of the two brothers, Jilharang and Daishan, so he did not give them too good equipment, and put Jilharang and Daishan in the Sancha River.

Infighting, it's inevitable.

At this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was up and down, and almost all those with seniority died almost completely, leaving only three people, Duoduo, Zilharang and Amin.

There is also a master's tractor, which is considered to be more qualified, and the others are some juniors.

Duoduo was very uneasy not to solve Zierharang and Daishan, but at this moment, it was not appropriate to fight too much, so Duoduo never attacked Lianren, but only transferred them to the Sancha River, which meant that they could resist the Shandong army, and also had the intention of weakening the strength of the two brothers, but in terms of action, Duoduo still did not show any intention of doing anything to the two.

At the same time, there was a shortage of horses, although Liaodong was a horse-producing area, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty conquered Liaodong after the destruction of production was very great.

In Liaodong, only the plains are cultivated, and most of the areas are not intensively cultivated.

And since the preparation of Huangtaiji's strong soldiers and horses, it has destroyed the production of Liaodong, after Duoduo became the emperor, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in the stage of great vitality, in order to deal with the aggressive situation of the Shandong army, Duoduo once again vigorously fought and the production of Liaodong withered again.

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

At the same time, grain and grass have also begun to plague the Qing army, in order to reduce the consumption of grass, even the inferior horses are rarely allocated, because the inferior horses can not go into battle to charge, can only be used for transportation, and even the travel is not very convenient, in the eyes of the Qing army, the inferior horses can only be used to drag the baggage in the battle, naturally will not want to Shandong Army as extravagant with the horse for the soldiers to travel.

After learning the news that the Shandong army had crossed the Taizi River and rushed towards Shenyang, Jierharang and Dai Shan also tried their best to catch up, wanting to catch up with the footsteps of the Shandong army.

But he was calculated by Duoduo, half of the soldiers and horses were pulled behind, and the other 50,000 cavalry barely caught up with the Shandong army, but at this time, the horses under the crotches of the cavalry troops of the two were too tired.

The distance between the Sancha River and the Taizi River is about 200 miles, and the distance between the starting point of the two armies is 100 miles.

On the other hand, the Shandong army stayed in a state of moderation, marching 120 miles on the first day, and came directly to the front of the Hunhe River, which was Shenyang on the other side of the river.

And these 120 miles only took half a day for the Shandong army.

With 50,000 cavalry, Zilharang and Amin rushed to the other side of the Hunhe River out of breath, just in time to bump into the Shandong army that was preparing to cross the river.

On the opposite bank, there were 30,000 cavalry from Shenyang.

These 30,000 cavalry have just been transferred back from Fushun, but there are still 20,000 cavalry remaining in Fushun, and 30,000 infantry and 70,000 Han Chinese are attacking Fushun.

The offensive of Liaoyang's Shandong army was so sudden that it took only half a day to march all the way from the Taizi River to the Hunhe River, which was only 7 miles from Shenyang.

When Duoduo received the news, the Shandong army was about to enter the city, and there were only 30,000 cavalry that had just been transferred back at hand, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were in Fushun.

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

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

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

But in winter, the Hunhe River and the Taizi River are frozen!

In addition, the winter temperature was low in this era, and the ice was very thick, so even if people and horses trampled on it, there would be no danger.

As soon as the Shandong army reached the banks of the Hunhe River, it began to force its way across the river.

Although it seemed hasty, the Liaodong Operational Command was very well prepared, and the 2,000 engineers had enough materials to build a river crossing facility.

Preparations for the forced crossing lasted for two hours, with the artillery erecting rows of artillery and rocket launchers, and the sappers preparing anti-skid facilities for crossing the river.

The 80,000 cavalry of the Qing army on the other side were all in full array. But as can be seen from the telescope, the Qing army on the opposite side is nervous.

Since their contact with the Shandong Army last year, they have become more and more like turtles. And the Shandong army exudes a civilized power that makes them feel heavy.

The artillery on the city of Shenyang was hastily dismantled and erected on the other side of the river.

The artillery battle between the two sides officially began at 3 o'clock in the afternoon with the sound of artillery from the Shandong army. That shell fell directly on the side of the Qing artillery position.

The artillery positions of the Qing army were set up at a distance from the river bank, and they wanted to take advantage of the width of the river to 200 meters, so that the Shandong artillery could not hit them, but they were able to hit the Shandong army that crossed the river by force.

But the Manchu wishful thinking was wrong.

The Shandong artillery of Zhuyuan was corrected, and then the artillery positions of the Qing army were bombarded indiscriminately.

The deafening sound of artillery almost all came from the artillery positions of the Shandong Army, and among the thousands of artillery pieces, hundreds of heavy guns of more than 125 mm opened fire in unison.

Shells rained down on the artillery positions of the Qing army, and the Qing artillery immediately launched a return fire.

However, these artillery soldiers in a hurry forgot their position, and they were too far away from the Shandong army on the opposite bank, and the shells hit the other side of the river, and they were no longer lethal.

However, there were still some casualties among the Shandong troops on the other side, and although the shells were really not powerful, if they hit the body, they would still kill people.

It's just the artillery position of the Qing army, and after the first wave of shells flew, a very tragic scene appeared.

After the shells of the heavy artillery fell, the power of the explosion directly smashed the artillery position of the Qing army.

The artillery was blown up to the ground, the artillery was blown up to death, and the gunpowder on the position also exploded, but the power of the explosion was even greater, and after a loud bang, there were few people standing on the artillery position of the Qing army.

Under such shelling, no one can survive safely, at least some will be injured.

It doesn't matter who the person is, what matters is that many of the Hongyi cannons on the position were distorted and deformed, and some were even blown up and flipped over.

The artillery of the Qing army, the Shandong artillery on this side of the riverbank, began to fire on the opposite bank in an all-round way, and the Qing army simply entered a distance of 1,200 meters.

It's about 1,500 meters, but the heavy artillery can blow it up, and for a rocket, this distance is just enough to hit.

Cannonballs and rockets fell from the sky and fell directly into the pile of Qing cavalry.

A very tragic scene appeared.

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

The artillery shells of the Shandong army are fuse controlled, and a few seconds of explosion is a few seconds of explosion, and sometimes there will be some errors, and the technical requirements for artillery are higher, once they explode over the enemy, the lethality is absolutely amazing, and a large number of shrapnel suddenly spilled down over the Qing army in front, and there were heavy casualties in an instant.

The artillery shells of later generations exploded after landing, and the lethality was not so strong, but the technical surname of the artillery was greatly reduced, as long as it was shot out, it was accurate, and the fuse time of the shell was not considered.

Then! The sappers went into action.
