Chapter 370: Conquering Liaoyang

"Kill!"

In Liaoyang City, it was already a scene of chaos at this time, like an apocalyptic scene.

Armed with two-way rifles, Xia soldiers ran through the main streets of the city, exchanging fire with any armed enemy they could see, and in the burst of gunfire, those who dared to resist were shot and fell to the ground.

Since the Xia army entered the city, the Qing army left in the city fought and retreated, and the Manchurian Zhenghong Banner, which had a strength of more than 3,000 before the war, fell rapidly in a few hours, and now there are less than 2,000 people left, and they are scattered all over the city, and their number will only become smaller and smaller.

The large number of Manchurian soldiers also caused the Han people and Han residents in the city to begin to rise in dissent, and some Han Chinese, who predicted that the Qing court was about to end and were unwilling to continue to work for the Qing court, began to agitate their compatriots around them and instigated them to resist the Qing army together.

However, where did the Han Baoyi, who had been a slave until now, have the courage to stand up against their Manchurian masters, and those who have the courage have been killed a long time ago, and those who have survived now are basically cowards except for the smart people.

Therefore, the agitation of the wise men did not work, but the Han Chinese inhabitants of the city began to revolt in small numbers, taking up whatever weapon they could use as weapons to attack the Manchus who had oppressed them.

They rushed into the homes of the Manchus who had gone to the streets to resist the Xia army, brutally killed the old and weak women and children who had stayed at home before they were brutally killed, and robbed the Manchus of all the valuable things in their homes, and set fire to the house when they left.

The appearance of these Han Chinese armed forces soon made the city even more chaotic, and their actions of setting fire to the houses after the murder also caused the city to burn everywhere, and it was late autumn and the climate was dry, and the fire spread rapidly, setting many houses on fire.

The black smoke raised by the flames burning everywhere quickly rose high, allowing the Qing court monarchs and ministers in the north to see it, and Emperor Shunzhi saw this black smoke, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and said, "The fire point is Liaoyang City?"

Ji Bilong, who was on his side, squinted his eyes and looked in the direction where the black smoke was, and after a while, he nodded with a heavy expression and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed a fire in Liaoyang City."

Although he expected that the Xia army would enter the city in advance, the emperor still felt heartache because of this, he did not want to watch the Xia army capture Liaoyang Fucheng, and immediately forced Yue Le to attack the Xia army camp again, regardless of the cost, he must break through the Xia army camp and support the Qing army in Liaoyang.

Yue Le reluctantly took the order, although the officers and men in the army had repaired for a period of time and their morale had partially recovered, if they continued to lose troops in the attack, everything would be over.

The king's order could not be disobeyed, he could only order to continue to attack the Xia army's position, and the Xia army's position was like a meat grinder, strangling the lives of all the Qing soldiers who launched the charge on the position.

"Attack!"

Rumble –

As the Qing artillery roared again, the Qing army turned from a small-scale feint attack to a large-scale assault, and more Qing infantry rushed to the Xia army's position to redeploy the defensive line with slogans, and fell one after another under the Xia army's volley.

Boom –

As the Qing army's infantry approached, the infantry artillery of the Xia army, which had changed its position, roared again, shooting out a large number of dense tiny marbles, shooting all the charging Qing troops into a sieve, and those Qing soldiers who were lucky enough not to be bombarded on the spot fell to the ground and let out a heart-rending scream, enduring the pain that penetrated into the bones until they finally lost their breath.

This time, the Qing army changed the order of attack, after the Han army that was defeated by the shotgun at the front fled in a hurry, the well-equipped Sauron soldiers still ran forward, they faced the volley of the Xia army's foot soldiers, raised their war knives and rushed into the Xia army's column, cutting down the Xia army's foot soldiers, and the Sauron soldiers equipped with war bows in the back took the opportunity to take the bow and lead the arrows, and the arrows shot the Xia army's foot soldiers without missing a shot.

The Sauron soldiers came out of the white water of Black Mountain, they were originally a race skilled in bows and arrows, and their shooting accuracy should not be underestimated, and the Xia infantry suffered heavy casualties in the battle against the Sauron soldiers, but soon, the Russian garrison armed with two-handed battle axes joined the battlefield and replaced the robes.

The participation of the Russian garrison suddenly increased the pressure on the Sauron soldiers, and even the skilled and brave Sauron soldiers could not stop the slashing of the two-handed battle axe

As soon as the two armies fought, the Sauron soldiers suffered a big loss, with one dead and wounded.

Thanks to the opening of the way by Sauron's soldiers, more Qing troops followed into the camp, and the replaced Xia infantry only had time to catch their breath before they went up again, looking for a favorable position to fire at the Qing army.

At this time, most of the troops in the camp were led by Su Ci to attack the north pass of Liaoyang, Su Dingyuan could only mobilize the remaining troops to fight the Qing army, in order to stimulate the morale of the whole army, he personally carried the handsome flag to the front line.

Su Dingyuan's dangerous behavior immediately boosted the morale of the Xia army, and the Xia army once pressed back the offensive of the Qing army, and the Qing army seemed to be determined to break through the position, and the high-ranking generals of the Qing army also appeared on the front line to boost the morale of their subordinates.

During the battle, the extremely obvious handsome banner of the Xia army was quickly targeted by the Sauron soldiers, and several of the Sauron soldiers invariably aimed at the Xia generals under the banner of the commander, and shot deadly arrows at the latter.

Su Dingyuan's attention was on the battlefield in front of him, and he didn't realize that he was being targeted, and when he found out, the arrow was already galloping towards him, but fortunately, the personal soldiers around Su Dingyuan were extremely responsible, and they pounced on the speed at that critical moment, blocking the flying arrows with their own bodies, but also threw Su Dingyuan from the horse and fell to the ground.

Su Dingyuan's fall immediately caused panic around him, and the Qing army also mistakenly thought that they had successfully shot the commander of the Xia army, so they hurriedly shouted loudly and announced the incident to the surrounding soldiers.

The morale of the Qing army was immediately boosted, and the Han people on the battlefield shouted to the Xia army on the opposite side in Chinese, trying to shake the morale of the Xia army.

But the Xia army was a strong-willed system soldier, where could it be so easy to waver, not to mention that it was the enemy's shout, they ignored it completely and continued to fight with the Qing army.

And later, Su Dingyuan was quickly helped up by his own soldiers, but fortunately, the personal soldiers who saved him with their lives reacted quickly, and Su Dingyuan just fell and bruised when he fell off the horse.

After he got up from the ground, he looked at the soldiers who died because of him with some sadness, and then, his eyes at the Qing army became full of hatred, and he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Dog ***, this revenge will not be avenged, I Su Dingyuan swear not to be a man!"

He was not so excited that he personally led the guards to join the battlefield, but turned over and continued to appear under the banner of the commander, so that the soldiers fighting on the front line could calm down.

The battle lasted for several hours, and when everyone on both sides of the battlefield was tired, there were sudden bursts of earth-shattering cheers from Liaoyang City, Su Dingyuan subconsciously looked at Liaoyang Fucheng, and saw a Xia Army flag hanging high on the wall of Fucheng.

Liaoyang City, conquered.
