On October 30, the two armies set up positions in the north of Liaoyang City.

On the side of the Qing army, the king of Anjun, Aixin Jueluo Yue Le, commanded him, he did not press all the troops, a full 70,000 soldiers, if all of them were pressed, the war group would become extremely crowded, so he decided to divide the army into three parts, attack from two directions, and leave one as a reserve.

Considering the danger of the battlefield, he also joined forces with the Manchu and Han ministers who accompanied him to persuade the emperor at the beginning, hoping that the emperor could go to Wang Dadatun on the other side of the Taizi River to avoid the troops and wait for the good news from the front.

But Emperor Shunzhi still retains a youthful heart, he refused the advice of the ministers, insisted on standing behind the military formation with the Holy Dragon Banner to supervise the battle, and the emperor was personally there, and the soldiers of the three armies would naturally swear to die.

Yue Le had no choice but to acquiesce to the emperor to enter the battlefield together, he divided the three banners into three parts, the imperial flag remained in the army, guarding the holy car, and the Zhenghuang banner and the Zhengbai flag attacked the Xia army camp outside Liaoyang City from the north and west directions respectively.

The Han soldiers, the Han banners, and the Jurchen soldiers will join the attack, and the brave and skilled Sauron soldiers will stay behind, and if the former attack fails, the Sauron soldiers will join the most elite Imperial Banner in the attack, striving to tear apart the Xia army front in one fell swoop.

Under Yue Le's deployment, the Qing army was soon divided into three parts, led by the Zhenghuang banner and 2,000 Jurchen soldiers, 10,000 Han people, and 4,000 Han army banners to attack the Xia army front from the north.

Zhengbai Banner was led by the Minister of the Interior Guerjia Zhuobutai and Gushan Ezhenjue Luo Banaha, and led the soldiers and horses of the Zhengbai Banner Headquarters and 3,000 Jurchen soldiers, 10,000 Han people, and 5,000 Han army banners to attack the Xia army camp from the west.

The remaining soldiers and horses stayed in their own formation, waiting for Yue Le's military order.

It's a pity that Liaoyang City was surrounded by the Xia army, like an iron bucket, and the Qing army scouts could not pass through the Xia army camp to enter Liaoyang, otherwise, they could discuss with the Qing army in the city in advance, break through the city when the two armies were fighting, and attack the Xia army on both sides.

However, with Jidu and Doni's ability, Yue Le didn't think that they would blindly stick to the city and not dare to take the initiative to attack, and when the battle outside the city was over, the Qing army in the city would definitely take the initiative to break through.

When the afternoon approached Shen, before the battle began, Emperor Shunzhi personally inspected the military formation, and he promulgated a holy proclamation, saying that no matter how high or low the officers and men in the army, all the enemy soldiers killed would be rewarded.

The parable also said that the Han people killed one enemy in their coats, pardoned the slaves, killed two enemies, gave acres of land, killed three enemies, and entered the Han army flag.

After the promulgation of the holy allegory, the 30,000 Han people in the army all shouted long live, and although the Manchurian banner soldiers thought that this would be detrimental to their interests, the emperor reassured them in time, as long as they defeated the Xia army, they would be more rewarded.

With the low and distant sound of the horn, the Qing army holding high the colorful battle flag slowly approached the camp of the Xia army, the Qing army with the shield cart in front, the sword and shield hands marched forward in formation, the bird hand mixed in, relying on the shield car and the sword and shield hand to cover the fragile bird hand close to the enemy position, and then exchanged fire with the enemy.

On both sides of the military formation, a cannon was also moved forward under the joint force of the cloth, and these guns were stopped after reaching the predetermined position, and the artillery was erected in place, loaded with shells, and fired the first shot at the Xia army position on the opposite side.

Rumble –

The sound of cannons like thunder on the flat ground sounded, and black projectiles roared and smashed into the Xia army's position, but most of them only smashed on the ground, raising a cloud of dust, and only a few shells hit the thin wooden fence, collapsing the wooden fence and flying sawdust.

After the cannon sounded, Jidu Doni in Liaoyang City hurriedly ran to the head of the city and looked in the direction of the cannon sound, because the Xia army camp was far away from Liaoyang Mansion City, and the Qing army was in a farther direction, so the Liaoyang defenders could not find out that the battle had started at the first time.

It wasn't until after the cannon rang out that they finally realized that the reinforcements had arrived, and Jidu, who hurriedly climbed the city wall, took out a clairvoyant mirror and looked into the distance, and when he saw the reinforcements advancing towards the Xia army camp in an orderly manner, the expression on his face was suddenly overjoyed.

"Gather the whole army, the imperial army has arrived, ready to break through the city and meet the Xia army!"

He commanded in a loud voice.

After Jidu's voice fell, the rallying horn sounded in the city, and the defenders of each gate made peace

The soldiers in the barracks hurriedly assembled, and the news of the arrival of the imperial army quickly spread throughout the city, and the morale of the city rose sharply.

The movement in the city naturally couldn't escape the eyes and ears of Xia Jun, and Su Ci and Su Dingyuan, who were sitting in the camp north of the city, glanced at each other, but they didn't see the sad look on each other's faces, obviously predicting this in advance.

The complete fortifications outside the camp of the Xia army were built for today, and before the Qing reinforcements launched the attack, the Xia army had been divided into two parts in advance, one facing outward and the other facing inward, which could cope with attacks launched in both directions at the same time.

Rumble –

As the Qing army entered the firing range, the artillery on the Xia army's position also began to roar, and most of the Xia army's artillery used flowering shells, although the power was weaker than the Qing army's solid bullets, but the blow to morale was heavier.

In the rumbling cannon, one after another flowering shells were fired out of the muzzle, whistling towards the Qing army's military formation, and when it was about to fall into the military formation, the shells exploded in vain, and the shrapnel produced by the explosion shrouded the foot soldiers below like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, killing and injuring dozens of soldiers in an instant.

Thanks to the emperor's pre-war parables, the morale of the Qing army was high, and they did not riot because of the artillery bombardment of the Xia army, but advanced in the face of the artillery bombardment until they entered the range of the Xia army's Type II rifles.

Type 2 rifle, this rifle that was originally in service in the British Imperial Army for a century has a maximum firing range of about 250 yards, the maximum effective firing range is within 150 yards, and the best firing range is between 75-100 yards.

The advancing Qing army infantry only saw countless fires crackling on the opposite Xia army's front, spewing out white gunsmoke, and after a breath, they felt a sharp pain in their chests, and then fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

The shield in front of the Qing saber and shield man could not save their lives, and the lead bullet could easily penetrate the wooden shield, and after being deformed by the force, it could drill into their body again, and only the shield wall that could block the light tiger squat cannon could block the shot of the lead bullet.

After the Xia army fired a volley, because it was not in the best range, there were not many Qing soldiers who were shot and fell to the ground, and after shooting the projectile, the Xia army hurriedly retreated, giving up the position to the robe behind him, who stepped forward, put the muzzle of the gun on the firing port, and fired a second volley under the order of the officer.

After three volleys in a row, the Qing army finally came within the best range of the Xia army, and at the same time, the Qing army's birdmen were finally able to return fire on the enemy.

Under the order of the Qing army general, the sword and shield men who held the shield in front withdrew to both sides, and the bird gunners quickly stepped forward to form three rows and shot at the Xia army.
