Surrounded by the Qing army on the east bank of the Daling River was a new town belonging to the Eastern Advance Corps, which was one of the three towns of the Zhili New Army formed by the commander of the corps Wang Fu in Baoding.

The three towns of the Baoding New Army and the two towns of the Tianjin New Army have a distinctive feature that distinguishes them from other units, that is, the hats, upper bodies, and trousers of the officers and men are all red.

When the Zhili New Army was first formed, Jia Liu demanded that the uniforms of the New Army must be brightly colored, because the training standards of the New Army were formulated according to the musket units of the pure musket era.

It cannot be said that it is a complete army of great powers, it should be said that it is a typical army of great powers.

Although the Fusiliers had been prepared in batches, the weapons were still not guns, and they were far inferior in range and accuracy, so infantry was required to concentrate in a queue on the battlefield in order to fire intensive fire at the enemy to increase the effectiveness of the killing.

The short range of the musket must lead to the close distance between the two sides, and the enemy can easily get close, which will cause the problem of mixing friends and enemies and difficult to identify, so it is best for your infantry to wear brightly colored clothing to identify each other, otherwise it is easy to misfire.

On this basis, the colors of military uniforms originally formulated by Jia Liu for the new army were mainly blue and black.

However, after Wang Fu took over as the commander of Zhili and took full charge of the construction of the new army, after several small-scale gun drills, he believed that black was not suitable as a military uniform, because if the weather was hot, black military uniforms would become a nightmare for officers and soldiers.

Although blue does not have the problem of heat absorption and heat dissipation, it is really a bit awkward as the color of the army uniform, so Wang Fu changed the new army uniform to red.

At the same time, officers are required to put a red feather in their hats, so that soldiers can easily identify their own commanders, and it can also be used as an honor to give officers a sense of belonging.

It is similar to the effect of one-eyed flower feathers and yellow jackets.

Jia Liu agreed with Wang Fu's improvements, and it didn't matter if the officer's hat was stuck in a bird's feather, because it would take at least a hundred years for snipers to emerge.

The commander of Xinyi Town, An Mu, is not An Mu, the second son of Zhang Jia Laofu, but the security captain who has followed Jia Liu for the longest time, and is also one of the senior generals from Sauron.

After crossing the Daling River, An Mu agreed with Jiang Biao, chief of staff and from the Sichuan Green Battalion, that An Mu would lead the main infantry force in the front, and Jiang Biao would lead the artillery, baggage, and cavalry battalions directly under the town in the rear.

In the early hours of the morning, after checking the time with the chief of staff and the standard pocket watches issued by the military department under the jurisdiction of the town, more than 7,000 officers and men advanced in the direction of the 13 mountains in the dark.

According to the intelligence sent by the Second Army yesterday evening, the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces had already discovered Xinyi Town, which had exited the Daling River from Jinzhou to the east, so it could not be ruled out that Xinyi Town would be attacked by the cavalry units of the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces on its way eastward.

For a possible attack, An Mu and Jiang Biao formulated two sets of plans, A and B.

Half an hour later, the Manchurian cavalry was found ahead.

The total strength of more than 16,000 troops, except for more than 5,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, are all cavalry from various parts of Mongol in southern Mongolia, and the commander is Gonggrabutan, the prince of Zhuoliktu of the Horqin Department.

The attack of the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces on the Thirteen Mountains area did not achieve the expected results, so after Tanma found that there was another puppet army on the Jinzhou side that crossed the Daling River and was ready to reinforce the puppet army in the Thirteen Mountains area, Shengjing General Hongsheng decisively decided to annihilate the puppet army that crossed the river first, because the strength of this puppet army was only a few thousand.

If it can be dealt a heavy blow, it will definitely shake the morale of the puppet army in the Thirteen Mountains area.

After discovering the enemy, Yasuki decisively ordered to form a formation on the spot, and it didn't take long for the Manchurian cavalry to launch an attack on Xinyi Town.

In the face of the fierce platoon gun shooting in Xinyi Town, the Manchurian cavalry was undaunted and charged one by one.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry found that there was a gap between the front and rear teams of Xinyi Town, so they took the opportunity to rush in and once broke through the defense line of Xinyi Town. At a critical time, the Corps urgently deployed more than 200 "Jatling" guns in Xinyi Town to play a huge role.

Capable of firing 48 times at a time, this gun is undoubtedly the best equipped equipment for the Restoration Army, although it has various problems.

"Bang bang bang!"

The intensive firing of the continuous guns caught the hundreds of Manchurian cavalry who attacked by surprise.

Commanding the department was the second son of the prince of Korqin Zhuoliktu, Gonggela Butan, who had accompanied Gorui on the expedition to Burma, Tenzin Wangpo, who had successfully cut off the front and rear armies of the puppet army after paying heavy casualties, was overjoyed at the arrival of victory, and then with the sound of a dense gun in his ears, this Beizi, who had been a second-class guard, was frightened by the scene in front of him and screamed.

An extremely terrifying scene.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the hundreds of Mongol warriors were knocked down by the guns of the puppet army, and only a few dozen of them were still frightened and rushed around in a panic.

Both men and horses who fell to the ground were screaming and struggling.

The scene in front of him made Tenzin Wangbu's scalp numb, he didn't expect the puppet army's firearms to be so powerful, and they didn't even need to be loaded with gunpowder like a firecracker.

The puppet army on the opposite side also erupted in cheers, as if they were proud of their new weapons.

The dense burst of guns rang out again, and this time the remnants of dozens of Mongolian soldiers all fell to the ground, and even Tenzin Wangpo himself was thrown off his horse by his mount.

When he struggled to get up, he realized that one of his beloved horses' legs had been broken by a gun.

"Is this a gun or a cannon?"

With his last doubts, Tenzin Wangpo was wiped out by dozens of Restoration soldiers with short knives.

His father, Prince Gong Grabutan, who was watching the battle from afar, found that his son's military flag was not flying, and after hundreds of sons and daughters who rushed into the puppet army were destroyed, he was shocked and sent a cavalry of more than 1,000 people to try to attack the puppet army and rescue his son from escaping.

The Mongol army obviously did not see the scene just now, they desperately shouted in unison to kill the enemy, but due to the lack of firearms, they could only hold spears and bows and arrows on their horses, and rushed towards the position of the Restoration Army with enthusiasm.

From time to time, artillery fell during the charge, and when they got closer, they were blocked by the platoon guns of the Restoration Army, and when they finally rushed to a few dozen meters in front of the position, they were densely harvested by those repeating guns that they had never seen before.

As far as the naked eye could see, what could be seen was that the Mongolian soldiers on the horses fell one after another, falling to the ground, and the war horses also stopped there abruptly, and there was no longer a sound of neighing.

In front of the Jatrin position, like the wind blowing wheat waves, the Mongol soldiers fell to the ground one by one. The movements are like rehearsals, and like a ruler sweeping, wherever the ruler goes, the living people and animals are no longer there.

Jiang Biao, the chief of staff of Xinyi Town, used a clairvoyant mirror to observe the distance, and found that an enemy soldier who looked like a general was still riding a horse on the bridge and waving the yellow flag in his hand.

It's just that there are fewer and fewer cavalry charging at their own positions.

After putting down the clairvoyant mirror, Jiang Biao glanced at the officers and soldiers around him, and what he saw in their eyes was excitement.

An excitement that stems from self-confidence.
