"Report!"

In the west of Shenyang City, on the high platform of the military camp in the Ming army, Liu Yanzheng frowned slightly and looked at the noisy battlefield in the dark night. At present, our army is attacking the third line of defense of the Qing army in the south with all its might, and at present, the Qing army's Mongolian soldiers and horses have been declining! ”

"Report!"

Another man came at night and hurried with his horse, and said loudly: "Qiyu, the battle report of the northern front: Our army has recaptured more than 40,000 people, and concentrated its forces to capture the second line of defense of the Qing army, kill the Han army's Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Bayan, and annihilate most of the Han army's Zhenghongqi. At present, the officers and men of the 16th Army of the Wehrmacht are storming the third line of defense of the Qing army! ”

Hearing this, Liu Yan immediately laughed, so far, all the solid mountains and Ezhen of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Han Army have been killed, and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty have been regarded as existing in name only, except for some scattered remnants, there are no more organized soldiers and horses.

Now the Manchu Manchu, Mongolian, Han, and Korean four Eight Banner armies, the Han Eight Banners and the Korean Eight Banners have been annihilated, which is equivalent to half the life of the Manchu Qing has been killed by Liu Yan's army, and the defeat of Dolgon and the Manchu Qing has accelerated for a while.

"Report!"

Liu Yan saw a soldier of the Second Army of the National Defense Army rushing on a horse, only to see that the night soldier who did not collect the soldier said loudly: "Elder Qiyu Pavilion, our army has been like a bamboo all the way, and has rescued more than 40,000 people, and the officers and men of various departments are attacking the fourth line of defense in the west. ”

"Report!"

At this time, another soldier who did not collect at night rushed over on a horse and said loudly: "Elder Qiyuge, the battle report on the eastern front: Our army has successively recaptured the second and third lines of defense in the east, rescued more than 30,000 people, killed the Mongolian Zhengbai White Banner Gushan Ezhen Yibai, severely damaged the Mongolian soldiers and horses of the two white flags, and the remnants of the Han army with the yellow flag, and now Inspector Li has come to the second line of defense in person, and is commanding the soldiers of the Eastern Front to storm the fourth line of defense garrisoned by the Qing army!" ”

When Liu Yan heard this, he immediately said: "Immediately let Li Dingguo withdraw to the east of the first line of defense in the east, and don't get involved in danger in person." ”

"Yes."

"In addition, immediately inform the officers and men of all departments: once our army takes the third line of defense, we must immediately collect sandbags from all parts of the defense line to guard against the artillery fire of the Qing army on Shenyang City!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Liu Yan's words fell, there was a rumbling cannon sound in the night, and at this time, the Ming army naturally did not open fire, so as not to accidentally injure the officers and soldiers of the various departments, and at this time, it must have been hundreds of artillery pieces deployed by the Qing army on the city wall that fired.

Liu Yan immediately frowned, it must have been Dolgon who learned that the defense line outside had been lost one after another, and the soldiers and horses of each banner had suffered heavy losses, so the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, regardless of whether the artillery was not accurate at night, and regardless of whether it would accidentally injure his own soldiers and horses, he directly aimed at the battlefield outside the city and fired indiscriminately!

However, Liu Yan thought about it for a while, judging from the range of the Qing army's artillery, the farthest was to hit beyond the fourth line of defense, and could not cover the area of the third line of defense, so Liu Yan immediately ordered: "Immediately order the soldiers of the west and east to withdraw, temporarily stop attacking the fourth line of defense, and make every effort to hold on to the first three lines of defense that have been captured!" ”

"Yes!!"

The brigade did not collect at night, and immediately rode its horses and rushed to all parts of the battlefield to convey Liu Yan's orders.

Then Liu Yan suddenly thought that the stock of artillery and ammunition in the army was not enough, at most he would fight for one more day tomorrow, if he couldn't break the city tomorrow, then the attack would be stopped the day after tomorrow, and Dolgon and the Qing army would get a rare respite, which Liu Yan could not tolerate.

So Liu Yan continued: "In addition, immediately sent people south overnight, once again urged the troops and horses of the Beiyang Fleet, and ordered the chief officer Shi Daxuan to speed up the delivery of ammunition to the city of Shenyang, and he must arrive within two days, and he will be punished for disobeying the military order if he fails to do so!" ”

"Yes!"

After the order was given, Liu Yan let out a slight breath, and his eyes surrendered to the battlefield in front of him again.

Harage lay in the trench of the fourth line of defense in shock, just now was still attacking fiercely, and even had rushed into the Ming soldiers and horses in the defense line from many places, after hearing the sound of the horn in the rear, quickly took the bodies of the dead soldiers, as well as the wounded soldiers of the Ming army themselves and retreated.

On the city wall behind Harrag, the artillery still did not stop, still roaring inside and outside the fourth line of defense, smashing down one shell after another.

Rumble!!

A cannonball landed a hundred or more steps away from the west of the trench, and in the dim night, it actually hit a Ming soldier crookedly, and immediately beat it to pieces, and then bounced off the ground several times, sweeping down several Ming soldiers who were retreating around them, and finally landed on the ground and stopped moving.

"Good!"

Harage suddenly shouted, and his heart also improved a lot: "Not only does the Ming army have artillery, but I also have artillery in the Qing Dynasty, and we can also smash those strong and powerful Ming troops who do not look like humans!" ”

Just around Harrag, there were all Qing soldiers with all banners, all of whom were routed troops who had withdrawn from various defensive lines in front, and were immediately slightly reorganized by Lai Mubu, the prince of Su, and all of them were used to hold the fourth line of defense.

At this time, everyone saw that the artillery fire of the Qing Dynasty had also achieved a lot of results, and immediately cheered, and even brave people jumped out of the trench, rushed out of the low wall or sandbag wall, and demonstrated against the retreating Ming soldiers in front.

At this moment, a cannonball shot from the city wall hit the Baya soldier without obliqueness, directly smashing it, and Harrag even vaguely saw that the not too big thing rolled three times and two rolls, and fell directly into a fire next to it, so frightened that Harlag suddenly tightened his legs, as if he also felt a trace of pain.

Rumble!

Suddenly, another cannonball from the city fell, and it smashed heavily on the ground more than a dozen paces away beside Harrag, so frightened that Harrag fell directly to the ground here, only to hear a whistling overhead, followed by several screams nearby.

When Harage got up in horror, he saw that a few Manchurian Zhenglan Banner soldiers and horses who were still beside him just now, as well as a few Manchurian village soldiers, had fallen to the ground, and several people were crippled by the cannonballs. ”

As soon as the words fell, Harrag heard another muffled sound behind him, turned his head to look, and saw a not too big cannonball rebounding directly, so fast that Harag only had time to scream, and the cannonball had already hit Harag's lower abdomen heavily, and the whole person flew directly.

"Ahh

With a scream, Harrag fell to the ground on his stomach, and then an unbearable pain hit, Harrag immediately shouted in a tone that did not resemble a human voice, looked back, and saw that there was a corpse with a lower body, which was bleeding in large strands, and the shoes on the feet of the half of the corpse were so familiar, weren't they the ones he was wearing on his own feet?

"Ahh Oh my feet! ”

It was only at this time that Harrag realized that he had been beaten by the cannonball into a state of "waist chopping", and he had already seen that the intestines and internal organs around his waist had flowed out with blood, so that Harrag, who was already snot and tears all over his face, instantly rolled his eyes, but he couldn't die, and could only be tortured by unbearable pain.

"Who's going to kill me!"

Harrag wailed weakly, perhaps moved by his so-called immortality, and another cannonball bounced back, rolled directly from the ground, ran over Harrag's head, and ended the suffering of the Tartar soldier.

After another half an hour, the Qing gunners in Shenyang finally stopped the shelling after confirming that the Ming troops in the east and west were really out of the range of the artillery.

At this time, the Qing soldiers in the fourth line of defense in the west and east of Shenyang City have been injured and killed many people by mistake, and the Qing troops stationed in these two places immediately complained about the soldiers and horses in the city, and even many Manchurian soldiers directly held firearms and bows and arrows, aimed at the head of the city for a burst of random shooting, so frightened that the Qing gunners on the city wall thought that the Ming army had killed again, and they stopped after a few shots, and made several oolongs.

At this time, a long orange-red line had formed in the eastern sky, and the night was about to pass, and the dawn of a new day was coming.

Liu Yan stood on the high platform of the Ming army in the west, looked at the dawn scene in the east, and secretly said in his heart: "The dawn is coming, and the dawn of the people of Liaodong is also coming!" ”

"Report!"

"Elder Qiyu Pavilion, the officers and soldiers of our army on the southern front have made progress, and they have captured the third line of defense of the Qing army, severely damaged the soldiers and horses of the two yellow flags of Mongolia, and killed the Mongolian Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen Azibai! At present, the officers and men of the various armies on the southern front are making every effort to hold on to the various defensive lines of the southern front in accordance with the orders of the senior army, and have temporarily stopped the attack on the fourth line of defense. ”

"Report!!"

"Elder Qiyuge, the officers and soldiers of our army's northern front have captured the third line of defense, annihilated most of the Mongolian Zhenghongqi, and killed the Mongolian Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Engtu. At present, Zheng Du has commanded the officers and men of all armies on the northern front to retreat to the first three lines of defense. ”

"Good!"

Liu Yan shouted excitedly, now that seven of the eight Mongolian Gushan Ezhen have been killed, the Mongolian Eight Banners are basically finished.

Although there is no specific number of beheadings at this time, according to Liu Yan's rough estimates, the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered by Dolgon and Duoduo can still maintain a complete structure, and it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of horses, at most 100,000 horses, and the rest are some defeated soldiers of various banners, as well as temporary conscripted miscellaneous soldiers!

It can be said that this war has been fought until now, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty no longer has any ability to turn the tide of the war, unless it is the ability of Dolgon and the "son of the plane" Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, who can summon a meteor shower to smash the Ming army camp, otherwise don't think about defeating the hundreds of thousands of elite troops under Liu Yan's command.

At this time, the sound of fierce fighting around Shenyang City has gradually stopped, and the officers and men of all departments of the Ming army began to seize the time to rest, and the baggage soldiers and soldiers of each department also began to strengthen the first three lines of defense on all sides to guard against the possible "decisive counterattack" of the Qing army.

The same is true of the various departments of the Qing army, Prince Su Lai Mubu and Prince Li Fei Yangguo are the top generals outside Shenyang at this time, and the two are doing their best to temporarily reorganize the remnants of the fourth line of defense on all sides, and reorganize the remnants of these banners, as well as the Manchu township soldiers and Mongolian tribesmen, in order to deal with the next attack of the Ming army.

The Han people everywhere were already dead and wounded by this time, and the remaining dozens or hundreds of people were also beaten and killed in the anger of the Qing troops in various departments.

About half an hour later, Liu Yan got the battle report, because the soldiers of all departments withdrew from the fourth line of defense in the fierce battle, so it was too late to cut off the heads of many Qing troops.

There are only more than 43,000 heads harvested by each department, but judging from the fact that they have killed so many banners and mountains, the actual casualties of the Qing army are at least more than 100,000!

Of course, in the melee of the night, the casualties of the Ming army were not small, and there were 3,819 dead soldiers and 1,312 wounded soldiers in each army, many of whom were killed or injured under the hundreds of artillery pieces of the Qing army, as well as the casualties caused by the sneak attack of the Qing army in the dark night.
