In this way, the second attack organized by the Qing army collapsed under the layers of bombardment of artillery! Taking this opportunity, Shandong soldiers continued to use sandbags to strengthen their chest walls. Their plan was to use sandbags to create a simple forward camp to facilitate future attacks. Soldiers who did not participate in the construction of the camp were guarding in front and waiting for the Qing army to attack!

But this time they waited for the attack for a long time, because Dorgon also knew that such a blind attack was meaningless. So he took back the troops and prepared to reorganize the attack.

Taking advantage of this ceasefire, the cavalry in the melee on both sides gradually dispersed. After nearly an hour of melee, both sides suffered great losses! But both sides knew that the cavalry was not the main group of troops that decided this battle, so when they found that they could not defeat their opponents quickly, they all chose to stop!

The tired cavalry rode the sweaty war horses and returned to the camp, and the battlefield was cleaned up by other soldiers from both sides.

The people sent by both sides tacitly did not carry weapons and began to restrain the bodies of their soldiers. But unfortunately, the battle between the cavalry was too cruel! Once it was dropped, it would not be killed by the enemy's horse's hooves, even if it was trampled to death by their own family! So let alone survivors, there were not many corpses intact!

Fortunately, after counting, it can be confirmed that the Shandong cavalry was the one who had the upper hand! Especially at the beginning of the battle, it had an absolute advantage. The losses in the later period increased because of the melee between the two sides. The Qing army's individual advantages were fully utilized!

More than 60% of the casualties of Shandong cavalry were caused during melee! This has been recorded in detail by Yang Jingfa as the experience and standard for future combat.

About half an hour later, a large number of Qing troops pushed shield chariots and siege machinery such as knife chariots appeared in front of the formation again! And due to the sufficient troops, he sent two teams at a time to prepare to capture two camps at the same time.

But Dorgon made something wrong. If he launched continuous attacks at that time, the speed of Shandong military camps would be slower to repair skills, and there would even be a possibility of being broken!

But he stopped for so long to rectify his troops and arrange equipment,

It is equivalent to giving the other party time to adjust! You must know that the two sides are in a war, and there are no other people, just a lot of people! As long as there are enough bags, the sand and soil are enough here! It is a very easy job for strong soldiers to dig some soil to put them in bags! It can be completed in the blink of an eye!

So when the Qing army was ready, the Shandong soldiers were ready here too! They even had enough time to repair a chest wall and wrap the mortar position in it!

When the attack began, Dorgon realized that he had made a mistake in an anxious mood, but he was already in a difficult situation and could only urge the soldiers to seize the time to attack. After all, he had no staff system here and it was all up to one person to make decisions, so of course it was easy to make mistakes.

At this time, the Qing soldiers pushed the car and started to advance. Not long after walking, they were attacked by the first round of artillery!

Liu Pei also spent a lot of money to save the camp before leaving. He ordered all the artillery available in the camp to push forward. Even the spare artillery was put into use! Now there are more than 800 record-breaking artillery pieces on the battlefield. As a result, the number of artillery soldiers was insufficient, and other soldiers had to be arranged to carry the work, so they could barely get enough artillery!

Once all the artillery fired, the battle seemed to be in full swing! It was really like rain! Rows of shells hit the Qing army's team, making them overturn! When they finally got close to two or three hundred steps, the heavy flowering bullets of the heavy mortar magic god smashed down again!

The shells of these mortars are larger than those of the flying dragon cannon, and their power is even greater when exploded! Every explosion can clear a large blank space in the crowd, breaking the already barely maintained Qing army formation to pieces! Sometimes the shells fall in front of the car, which can directly blow the car away!

After passing these two artillery blockade lines, even if the Qing soldiers were not injured, they were dizzy by the explosion of the shells, and their formation was even more scattered! Under such circumstances, they could not form an impactful attack at all!

As soon as the soldiers appeared in front of the muskets, they were quickly knocked down to the ground by dense lead bullets! Even if a small number of soldiers rushed to the front, they would be thrown by the grenadiers.

The thrown grenade was killed or injured, and it could not touch the edge of the camp at all!

Even so, Dorgon still urged the troops to attack continuously! He did not order his troops to retreat until he was sure that it was difficult to take down the camp in front of him.

After the Qing army retreated, a large number of corpses were left on the battlefield, and both sides sent people to clean up slowly. However, Dorgon did not feel sorry for him! After all, most of the soldiers here were soldiers of the Han army flag. His core foundation, the Eight Banners soldiers had not moved much!

Standing on the top of the city, Dorgon watched the soldiers retreat, his face turned pale! At this time, an officer said carefully: "Prince, I feel that attacking that small camp during the day is easy to be attacked by the opponent's artillery! Moreover, the camp is so small, and if there are too many people, it will not be used. If there are fewer people, it will be very difficult to attack, so why not let's attack at night!"

Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky. He found that it was already very late. He said, "Since that's the case, then attack at night! Bring a few more cannons! They can hit us with cannons, and we can hit them with cannons!"

The officer nodded repeatedly and said, "What the prince said!"

So the battle this day was over. The Qing army was busy dispatching troops and preparing for the night attack. The Shandong soldiers continued to strengthen the camps and replenish personnel and supplies. They were ready to firmly grasp this forward base and never retreat!

Soon night fell, and Shandong soldiers lit a fire outside the camp to prevent the enemy's sneak attacks. But what they didn't expect was that the Qing army did not intend to sneak attacks at all, but wanted to launch a large-scale attack!

Just as it was dark and the fire outside the camp was lit, the gate of Shenyang City opened, and a large number of soldiers walked out carefully and began to approach the two camps.

However, there were not many people attacking this group. Each group had only about 3,000 people. Their purpose was not to attack, but the fires outside the camp.
Chapter completed!
