1671 Small events

After Liu Pei obtained Tucheng, he formed a complete confrontation with the Qing army. In other words, Liu Pei surrounded half of the city, including the entire East City Wall, and the troops of both sides began to confront each other with Chenyang City.

By the evening, the temperature in the two Tuchengs had gradually dropped. Liu Pei sent troops into the city to take over the two Tuchengs. When the soldiers stepped on the hot ground and entered the city, they couldn't help but exclaimed! Because the entire Tucheng had been burned with fire, the walls were knocked and sounded! Glass structures even appeared in many places! It can be seen that the incendiary bombs configured by Liu Pei were so domineering!

As for everything else, all the things have been burned into ashes! All that can be left is a piece of twisted iron! They are all solids formed by melting weapons and armor.

That night, the soldiers cleaned up the two earthen cities and officially entered, treating this place as a forward camp to attack Chenyang City. They began to strengthen the city walls and add artillery positions. It was not until dawn that the flag was raised to indicate complete occupation.

After a war ended, the battle between the rangers and small troops on both sides began again! Both sides tried desperately to test the opponent's weaknesses and exploit them, so this made the battle between the rangers even more tragic! However, the Shandong army and horses rely on their good armor and better organizational discipline, which is equally matched with the Qing army!

Moreover, Liu Pei's focus has always been on the south side of Shenyang City. He hopes to attack the Qing army camp on the west side of Chenyang City from here! So he constantly transferred his troops to the south of Chenyang City, forming a new camp there, and continuously launching a small-scale attack on the Qing army camp on the east side of Chenyang City.

At the same time, Liu Pei mobilized various artillery to bombard the east city of Chenyang City, and destroyed all the Qing army's artillery as much as possible. Although this method paid a lot of price, the effect was very successful! Soon, Dorgon ordered the remaining artillery to be put into the city and no longer placed on the East City Wall.

At the cost, Liu Pei also lost dozens of artillery pieces! But all of this was worth it in Liu Pei's opinion! As long as there were no long-range attack methods such as cannons and catapults in Chenyang City, his artillery could work at will! If time permits,

He can even slowly collapse the East City Wall of Chenyang!

Moreover, Liu Pei's established plan was to slowly weaken the Qing army and reduce casualties as much as possible. Because at the beginning of spring, Liu Pei led his troops out of Liaodong, and the Qing army's spring sowing did not have much time to go through!

In addition, Dorgon's large number of young and strong men selected the army, which led to a shortage of labor. So Liu Pei had to delay for another two or three months, and when the Qing Dynasty was not in the process of reunion, the Qing army would be in chaos without fighting!

But the Qing army did not want to drag it down, so they often went out to challenge the camp and wanted to find an opportunity to defeat Shandong soldiers in one fell swoop! So the battle between small troops on both sides became even more cruel!

The Qing army had a large number of cavalry, so they used cavalry when they went out to fight. The range was a few dozen miles, and they could attack Shandong soldiers from all directions! The Shandong soldiers were good at using firearms and had fewer cavalry than the Qing army, so they often sent small groups of troops to patrol around the camp. In combination with the side vans transformed by Liu Pei, they could isolate them from more than twenty miles of the camp.

In this way, the two sides were in a stalemate. Although the Qing army tried every means to lure Shandong soldiers, the Shandong soldiers and horses were guarding without leaking water, and the navy was constantly transporting supplies, so they began to slowly attack the east wall of Chenyang City.

At this time, the east city wall of Chenyang had been destroyed by artillery bombs, and all the defensive equipment was destroyed by the flower bullets! With this favorable situation, Shandong soldiers and horses made a feint attack from time to time. Using artillery to consume the strength of the Qing army.

But the Qing army gradually adapted to this kind of attack. Although there would be losses in every battle, the losses were quite small. Just when both sides thought that this peace would continue, a sudden incident changed the confrontation between the two sides!

Just one month after the two sides confronted each other, a Shandong infantry encountered the Qing army's cavalry while patrolling!

The standard for Shandong soldiers to patrol is to have 200 soldiers paired with ten large chariots. The chariots are equipped with triangular wooden boards that can be tied up with iron chains. These wooden boards can quickly form a group of chest walls between the chariots. Soldiers can rely on the defense of the chariots and chest walls.

Line defense.

The Qing army cavalry generally had more than 200 people in a team. In many cases, they were composed of genuine Eight Banners soldiers. After all, there were few cavalrymen on the Han army flag, and they lacked enough fighting will.

After the two armies encountered each other, Shandong soldiers quickly arranged a simple line of defense with their carriages and wooden boards loaded on the vehicles. According to normal circumstances, it should be that the Qing cavalry were wandering outside and looking for the gap in assault!

Shandong soldiers should use fire to shoot long-rangely, suppress and force them not to get too close. Because Shandong soldiers have to take care of all directions, the barrage is thin and it is easy to provide the Qing army with a gap to break through. Therefore, they must shoot from afar to intercept the Qing army.

At the same time, both sides will send out signals to call for reinforcements. Then both sides will often engage in a small-scale melee and retreat after each other.

But today, an extremely coincidental thing happened, that is, when the Qing army attacked, a stray arrow shot a pack horse in the eye. These pack horses were originally removed from the car before the formation of the car array and placed in the center of the position with a dedicated person to take care of it.

However, under the severe pain of being shot in the eyes, the pack horse began to jump up unbearably, which caused the horror of other pack horses! As a result, a group of pack horses rushed around in frightened, trampling on many soldiers, and even knocked out a gap in the car formation and ran away!

Now the Qing army rushed towards the gap like a hungry wolf asking about the bloody smell. After paying for certain casualties, they rushed into the vehicle formation directly! The Shandong soldiers in the chaos did not organize enough strength to block the gap for a while!

So the Qing cavalry rushed in and trampled on horseback in the formation and chopped and slashed and killed them wantonly! Although the soldiers resisted tenaciously, before the reinforcements arrived, all the two hundred soldiers were killed in battle!
