Ding Guofeng and Sheng Haizhou had retreated from the south bank and entered the defensive position south of Jurgen.

In Fuldan City, in order to prepare for a sneak attack by a small group of Qing troops, a thousand people were selected from thousands of migrant workers and issued weapons. These people had undergone preliminary militia training before May. According to reports,

Shooting in the city is still no problem.

In the early morning of August 22, the battle began.

The purpose was to attract opponents and cover the Qing army on the south bank of the Suifen River as they crossed the river. The Mongols on the north wing

In order to test the firepower, the cavalry sent out a battalion of 500 troops.

These Eight Banners Mongolians gradually moved forward to test. When they were close to a distance of fifty meters from the first trench, with a whistle, just one company of fire knocked these cavalrymen off their backs. The Mongolian cavalry quickly retreated to

Assemble at a position of eighty meters, and when preparing to attack in the middle, look for a breakthrough on the flanks.

Wukanbei rode a rhinoceros horse and followed Benniulu's men and horses on the middle road. Behind them was a battalion of Han Eight Banners musketeers and twenty artillery pieces. These people were not going to die, but to

Stand on both sides and behind the musketry battalion, and use bows and arrows to provide continuous firepower output during shooting gaps.

"No one is allowed to shoot without my order." Yaichiro felt aggrieved. The order they received was to put the Qing army fifty meters before shooting. At this distance, the Qing army's muskets

and artillery can already cause damage to one's own side.

However, the company said during the war briefing that the purpose of this was to create the illusion of a stalemate on the western front and attract all the Qing troops on the southern front to cross the river and enter the preset battlefield.

From Zhao Xin's point of view, didn't the Qing army like to set up formations? I have prepared a plain battlefield with an area of ​​nearly forty square kilometers for you. You can place it in various positions as you like.
