Liaodong Town is one of the nine border towns of the Ming Empire in the past, since the first year of the Apocalypse Jianyu occupied Liaoyang, after 30 years, this is the first time that the Ming army appeared in Liaodong Town.

However, although there are no Qing troops in Liaodong Town now, there are still Qing army officials stationed in Liaodong and some banner people in the city to defend the city.

The 1st Cavalry Battalion of the 2nd Guards Army was not good at attacking fortifications, and before the arrival of the Ming artillery, they could only pursue some Qing troops who were not in the castle.

According to the prediction of Qin Zuoming, the commander-in-chief, the large-scale cavalry assault like the one just now could only be the last in the entire Liaodong region, because it was impossible for Manchuria to have more elite iron cavalry.

But Qin Zuoming still wanted to test whether there was still the main force of the Qing army in Liaodong, so he asked the first battalion of cavalry to pursue from the official road and freely attack the entire Liaodong region, in order to test the reality of the Qing army's current situation in the entire Liaodong region.

Therefore, the 5,000 iron cavalry of the first cavalry battalion of the second quarter of the Guards Army returned all the way from Liaodong Town to Anshan Station, Haizhou Wei, Tashanpu and other defensive strongholds of Liaodong Town.

"Kill!"

The cavalry of the Guards is not weaker than the Manchurian iron cavalry, and the sturdy war horses and strong cavalry of the Guards can also control several war horses to shoot and chop on the back of the galloping horse, and they can also kill these Qing troops in front of them without missing arrows, or a rapid impact can split these Qing troops into two sections, and blood flows all over the ground.

At this time, a Qing army that had just collected the grain had not had time to return to Ximu City, and the cavalry of the Guards suddenly rushed over like a whirlwind, and immediately three thousand iron horsemen opened their bows and arrows to shoot three hundred Qing troops who were transporting grain on the spot, and at the same time, the other two thousand iron horsemen of the Guards suddenly rushed into Ximu City, and when they met the Qing army, they directly slashed over, and their heads flew sideways.

The cavalry of the Guards pays attention to raiding and harassing and quick battles, and is not responsible for political occupation and the establishment of ruling order, but only responsible for deterring the Qing army and testing the reality of the Qing army.

Naturally, the entire Ximu City was slaughtered by the Guards, and almost all the bannermen were cut down by the Guards cavalry.

"Master Jun, spare your life, you are also Han below, seeing that we are all the same kind of people, just forgive me, the little one was forced to be the county commander of this captive! Please, please, please don't kill me. ”

The Manchu county commander of Ximu City was so frightened that he kowtowed directly to the cavalry of the Guards.

But the cavalry of the Guards naturally ignored it, and a rain of arrows came over, and in a moment these Manchu county commanders were killed by random arrows.

The cavalry of the Guards made a big noise throughout the southeastern part of Liaodong, which frightened the Qing troops everywhere, and these Qing troops did not dare to leave the city easily.

And this also provided convenience for the main force of the Guards to break through the key passes and concentrate on the execution of these Qing army bannermen.

At this time, the main force of the Second Guards Army had arrived at the city of Deliying, which was the first important stronghold after Little Montenegro.

However, there are not many Qing troops guarding the city, of course, even if there are Qing troops guarding it now, it can't stop the attack of the guards, and the accurate fire of an artillery cannon directly broke through the gate of the city of Deliying, and the second cavalry battalion of the guards rushed directly into it first.

After executing all the Eight Banners, the main force of the army continued to march northward, successively occupying two strongholds of Xiongyueyi and Yulinpu, and finally arrived at the Gaizhou Acropolis on the third day of the first month of the 23rd year of Chongzhen.

The Qing army of Gaizhouwei chose to surrender, but the Second Army of the Guards still did not spare these Eight Banners and were all executed!

The Second Guards Army is not worried that it will cause desperate resistance from the Qing army by doing so, because for the current Guards, the Qing army's desperate resistance or surrender on their knees is the same result.

The entire Jianyu was powerless against the attack of the Second Guards Army in Liaodong, and they had no way to stop the attack of the Second Guards Army.

After all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's two southern expeditions to the Ming Dynasty lost many soldiers and horses.

Soon, the Second Army of the Guards regained Haizhou Wei and marched to Liaodong Town.

……

At this time, Ye Keshu, the governor of Shengjing, had no time to estimate the safety of Liaodong Town, and after he escaped back to Shengjing, he immediately mobilized all the Qing troops from Fushunsuo, Puhesuo, and Qinghebao into Shengjingcheng City, and began to prepare for the defense of Shengjing City.

At the same time, Ye Keshu also quickly informed the Manchu court in Beijing that the strength of the Ming army in Liaodong was very strong, and his only Manchurian iron cavalry of tens of thousands had been annihilated, and in addition to the 30,000 infantry of the Eight Banners to hold Shengjing, he was no longer able to hold other important places, so he implored the Qing court to send reinforcements, otherwise Shengjing would not be protected and so on.

Ye Keshu naturally knew that he could not hold Shengjing with 30,000 Eight Banner soldiers alone, so he had to ask for help from all the Manchu and Han military landlords in the entire Liaodong, and these Manchu and Han military landlords in Liaodong also knew that the current Ming army was very unfriendly to them, the bureaucratic landlord class, and directly executed them as Han traitors, so they were also very active.

All of a sudden, many landlords appeared, and even many of them came to Shengjing City directly with Zhuang Yong to assist Ye Keshu, the governor of Shengjing, in guarding the city.

But the Second Guards Army will soon let these fundamental threat forces that have always challenged the dominance of the Ming Dynasty know how powerful the Ming Guards are.

However, at this time, the Second Army of the Guards had just arrived in Liaodong Town.

The city of Liaodong Town is also quite strong, after all, it was once the residence of the command division of the Liaodong Command Division of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also the Xingdu of Nurhachi.

Many of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army also knew the important role of Liaodong Town, and spontaneously began the task of defending the city, and even specially prepared a lot of rolling wood and stones.

But the Second Guards Army would soon tell them that it was useless.

As soon as the Second Guards Army arrived at Liaodong Town, a heavy artillery battalion of the Second Corps of the Second Guards Army began to bombard Liaodong Town.

In less than half an hour, after a round of bombardment, the two-zhang high city wall of Liaodong Town collapsed directly, and the Qing troops defending the city were either blown up or thrown to death.

The Second Guards Army successfully recovered Liaodong Town, a Liaoyang city that had fallen into the hands of the enemy for nearly thirty years.

Next, the second army of the Guards Army is going to attack Shengjing City, that is, Shenyang before the Ming Dynasty, Shengjing City's status in Jianyu is equivalent to the former Ming Nanjing, if the Guards regain Shenyang in the second quarter, it means that the Northern Expedition has won half of the victory.
