Looking at the direction of the shadowy Weiyuan Fort Gate, Yu Chang, the deputy commander of the front wing and rear army, said to Yun Yu, who was also frowning beside him: "Lord Wang, there is news from Fuqing Beizi that the immigrant team has just crossed the Dongliao River, and if the sea is not in charge of returning to help, then we will be in big trouble." ”

Big trouble, no, big trouble should I say. In order to transfer back the Xia army, which is about to go north, the momentum of attacking Fushun and Shenyang must be sufficient. For this reason, Yunyu had to send more than 10,000 troops from the two deputy capital commanders to act with great fanfare. After deducting the more than 1,000 auxiliary troops grazing in Ningguta, Yun Yu now has less than 30,000 troops in his hands, and the gap with the Xia army has further widened, which is indeed self-defeating and shooting himself in the foot.

What to do? Is it to retreat to the north of the Dongliao River and defend against the river? Or will you fight with the Xia army on the front line of Weiyuan Fort?

After thinking about it for a long time and looking at the map repeatedly, Yun Yu ordered: "Hurry up and inform Hai Duoli and Shirong to withdraw immediately, go straight to the Liuhe River and Yitong River, and return to Ningguta to rest. ”

Yun Yu decided to fight a battle with the Xia army south of the East Liao River, but in the case of being outnumbered by the enemy, Yun Yu also understood that the Qing army was likely to lose more and win less, so Yun Yu must keep Hai Duoli and Shirong as his last capital: "In addition, inform all departments to retreat to the Burdu Kusu Balhan Gate (near Siping Street) to stand by??????"

Yun Yu's choice to fight with the Xia army at the Burdu Kusubalhan Gate naturally made sense, not because he intended to lengthen the Xia army's grain route, but because he was fully aware that the Xia army's supply line mainly relied on the two major water systems of the Liao River and the Hunhe River, and used small ships to implement water transportation to achieve the purpose of saving animal power and loss on the way.

The area near the Burdu Kusu Balhan Gate is precisely the farthest place from the arc-shaped Dongliao River, and the Xia army will either send troops to escort along the river alone, or simply march along the wicker side, in any case, the Xia army will inevitably be divided by the wicker side, so that the problem of the Qing army's inferiority in the battle is no longer prominent and even has a relative advantage.

On the other hand, if Yunyu retreated further and engaged in a battle with the Xia army near the Helsumen Gate north of the Buldu Kusubal Han Gate, the result would be unfavorable to the Qing army's side, and it must be known that the Eastern Liao River turned back to the northwest of the Helsumen, and the Xia armies on the two separate routes were bound to regain their divisions??????

Almost at the same time that Yun Yu ordered all units to retreat, Xi Daping left the headquarters of the First Brigade of the Fourth Division of the Flying Cavalry Army, the First Regiment of the Brigade and the Baggage Regiment of the Division to garrison the Tieling County Military Station, and left the headquarters of the First Brigade of the First Division of the Japanese Army, the First Regiment of the Brigade and the White Corps of the Division to stay in Kaiyuan County, and the rest of the divisions drove non-stop along the wicker side (new side) to Jilin.

As Yun Yu expected, in order to protect the baggage fleet on the Dongliao River, Xia Jun chose to divide his troops.

Among them, the Xia Army on the left was marching with a total of 16,000 men from the 5th Division of the Dingsheng Army, the 3rd Brigade of the 4th Division of the Flying Cavalry Army, and the 2nd Regiment and 3rd Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army. On the right, the Xia Army, with the 1st Division of the Tiger Wing Army, the 3rd Division of the Tiger Army, the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, and the 4th Division of the Flying Cavalry Army, totaling more than 36,000 troops, marched along the east side of the wicker side. The two Xia armies were about a day's journey apart, and because of the obstruction of the wicker side, the communication between them had to be turned back to Kaiyuan before they could be connected.

Of course, as long as the Xia army captured the Burdu Kusubarhan Gate, then the communication between the two Xia armies would be unimpeded again, but it was this only chance that Yun Yu was trying to plot??????

On April 13, the fifteenth year of Wucheng in Huaxia (the second year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty), it was already half an hour, and the outpost of the Xia Army's Left Route Army, which was advancing along the Dongliao River, suddenly appeared in front of a large Qing army. Although the Xia army, which was caught off guard, quickly sailed the convoy of transport ships traveling on the east bank into the middle of the river after hearing the news, the Dingsheng army and other units had no time to get rid of the siege of the Qing army, so they could only choose to block on the spot after sending alarm messengers to Kaiyuan and the right army respectively.

Fortunately, the Xia army was well-trained, and soon changed from a marching column to a horizontal team, and except for the division's 11-point artillery that had no time to set up a fortification, the rest of the regiment's eight-point light artillery were lined up in front of the formation, so that Yun Yu, who was bent on fighting the Xia army by surprise, couldn't help but think of the overwhelming artillery fire faced in the First World War in Linxi. It's just that Yun Yu can't order the Qing army to withdraw from the front of the formation, otherwise the strength of the Qing army can be preserved, but the morale of the army will be lost.

So, as a last resort on both sides, the Battle of Sanjiangkou broke out.

At the end of noon, the Qing army, which had completed the formation, slowly pressed towards the Xia army.

At the right time, Yun Yu took 12,500 horse armor and infantry armor from 100 regular army leaders of the four deputy capital headquarters as the forerunner, 40 auxiliary army leaders and 5,000 auxiliary troops as the relay, and Bayala soldiers and the remaining 25 regular army leaders and 15 auxiliary army leaders of more than 7,000 people as the backing, making a desperate bet, leaving only more than 3,000 auxiliary troops of the artillery and bird gun leaders as the pressure formation.

On the Xia side, 84 eight-point light guns of 14 infantry regiments were at the forefront, followed by more than 6,000 infantry men standing in two columns, the white sentry posts of each regiment, more than 2,220 white soldiers in armor and some gunners of the division's white corps sat behind the infantry team to rest, and the 600 cavalry corps of the six horse scouts under the division and brigade became the last reserve.

The Qing army quickly advanced to the range of the Xia army's eight-point guns, and the Xia army's artillery immediately opened fire, this time not to break up the Qing army's formation, but to delay the Qing army's advance and eliminate more of the Qing army's vital forces, and reduce the threat of the Xia army's infantry team.

In the dense rain of bullets, the most courageous vests and infantry armor of the Qing army were knocked to the ground, but the Qing army had a large number of troops, and Yun Yu gave a strict order to cut those who retreated in advance, so the eight banners outside the pass still gritted their teeth and rushed forward.

Seeing that the Qing army was already close at hand, the Xia gunners ran to their camp with the artillery after firing the last shot. At this time, the disadvantages of the Qing army without the help of horses were exposed, and the Qing army vests and infantry armor that rushed to the Xia army artillery based on the needs of the later struggle were not dared to chase after the Qing army's horse armor and infantry armor were exposed to the heavy armor and disappeared after dragging the artillery into the passage specially left by the infantry team, and only a few artillery pieces were abandoned in front of the battle for reasons such as wheel trapping. However, what made Yun Yu sigh even more was that none of the Qing troops in the front team were gunners, so even if these artillery pieces were captured, the Qing army could not turn them around to the other Xia army.

After passing the artillery position of the Xia army, the Qing army had already appeared in front of the horizontal formation of the Xia army, only to hear an order from the Xia army, and the two rows of infantry men opened fire in turn, and the smoke of gunpowder instantly enveloped the entire queue.

For the Qing army, at the distance of ten (Chinese) summer steps, the single-layer cotton armor worn by the infantry armor could not stop the penetration of the Xia army's two-step bullets, and although the double cotton armor of the vests could block the penetration of the infantry bullets, the bullets hit the human body like a heavy hammer strike, so the momentum of progress was stagnant.

Xia Jun, who was trained like a futuristic machine, didn't observe the results of his shooting at all, but just followed the commanders' orders, mechanically loading, shooting, reloading, and shooting.

However, the rhythm of the Xia army was eventually disrupted by the Qing army that risked death to rush up.

Relying on superior troops, the Qing army rushed to the Xia army's array one after another, and finally succeeded in killing it. Just as the Qing army, bleeding their own blood or splashed with the blood of their comrades, was about to massacre the Xia army's foot guards under the dual effect of anger and fear, the Xia army retreated like a tide, revealing the white soldiers who were also wearing armor to meet them.

The battle of the armored white soldiers curbed the Qing army's pursuit of the unarmored infantry men, and the armored white soldiers of the Xia army, who had been recuperated before, could be described as a new force, and it was by no means comparable to the first echelon of the exhausted Qing army. It's just that the Qing army has 12,000 soldiers and horses in front of the army, which is almost six times that of the white soldiers of the Xia army, and the auxiliary troops of the Qing army also rushed over, so the balance of victory and defeat is once again on the side of the Qing army.

"Pass the order!" Xie Jiping, the commander of the Fifth Division of the Dingsheng Army, sounded without a little warmth. "All guns fire!" The rearranged light artillery group of the Xia army once again spewed out flames, knocking their own people to the ground without any difference between them and the Qing army. Taking advantage of the confusion in the auxiliary army of the Qing army, which had weak endurance, the reorganized infantry of the Xia army also opened fire, further aggravating the chaos on the front. "It's time to order the cavalry to attack!"

Although it was not a professional cavalry, and although it was just an ordinary Mongolian gelding sitting down, the vibration set off by thousands of iron hooves still made the Qing troops on the front line feel a huge threat. But at this time, some of the first-line Qing troops were still fighting with the Xia army's armored white soldiers, some were preparing to continue to attack the Xia army's new front, and some were running around to avoid the Xia army's artillery fire, which could not form an effective blockade at all, and was rushed in by the Xia army's cavalry with short firearms and bows left and right.

The Xia Army's horse exploration team has always only selected the most astute soldiers, so the sentry commanders quickly locked on the unarmored Qing army auxiliaries as the first target, although some of the auxiliary troops used bows and arrows to fight back against the Xia army that lost their horses and achieved certain results, but more auxiliary troops showed signs of collapse under the Xia army's key strikes. However, the Qing army's rear formation rushed up at this time, quickly stabilized the situation, and drowned the Xia army's Tanma and the few remaining Xia army white soldiers again.

"Damn it!" Xie Jiping cursed, turned his head and asked. "Is the mid base and baggage done here?"

The marching Sima reported: "The middle base regiment and the baggage regiment have already formed the baggage carts into a car city, but the breastwork is still being excavated. ”

Xie Jiping nodded: "No matter, let the artillery army withdraw first, and the rest of the troops will retreat into Checheng one by one, and let the red single boats of the two sailors cover our backs, so as not to cross the river and attack ??????"

"Lord Wang, what a victory." After receiving the report from the front, he congratulated Yunyu left and right. "The annihilation of thousands of sea rebel armor soldiers and elite cavalry in one fell swoop is already the only victory of this dynasty in the past few years."

"This is also called a great victory?" Yun Yu didn't have a little joy on his face, this was not because he was pretending to be calm, but because his heart was dripping blood. "For the sake of these more than 2,000 sea rebellions, this king has almost lost 4 or 5,000 men and horses, and if he wants to win so many times, this king will be left alone." That being said, a victory is a victory. "Come here, Lubu Feijie along the way, and tell the court that our army has won a great victory over the sea rebellion, as for the sea rebellion that escaped into the car city." Yun Yu waved his hand. "After cleaning up the battlefield, we will withdraw our troops."

The staff asked puzzledly: "Lord Wang, the sea is already bending, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue." ”

"Chase after victory? How many more centaurs do you have left in this king? Yunyu shook his head. You don't have to be brave for a while, this battle still has to be fought. Besides, the task that this king received was to drag the Xia army, not be dragged by the Xia army???????"
