1650 Supply Line
However, after a quarter of an hour of repairing, he still ordered the troops to charge! After all, his Shangguan would not accept that he would retreat without fighting!
As soon as they were exposed to the faint light of fire, a sharp whistle came from behind the chest wall opposite! And even in this case, the Qing army officer found that there was still no one in the artillery position! So he made a quick decision and shouted loudly: "Retreat! Retreat! This is a trap!"
Just as the order was conveyed and the soldiers were trying to turn around, dense flowering bullets fell into the team! If it weren't for his order to retreat in time, these flowering bullets would not have fallen at the end of the team, but in the middle of the team!
After the Qing army officer fled back to Shenyang City, the news was soon reported to Dorgon. He smiled slightly and said, "The failure of the night attack is expected! A big battle like this, a night attack is just a small trick! If you really want to win, you can only confront the battle in the battle!"
A Qing army officer said: "What the prince said is! It's just this night attack, and I think it's better not to stop! It can consume the other party's energy!"
Dorgon said: "That's natural! But don't expect any results to be achieved! In addition, when the team goes out, you need to go out in small scale and multiple batches. When they find loopholes, they will take a blow!"
The battle on the front battlefield at night was over, and on both sides of Liu Pei's camp, the rangers on both sides were strangling each other!
In order to spy on the loopholes in the Shandong camp, the Qing army rangers kept conducting small tests. The Shandong army rangers kept searching for the Qing army rangers to fight back in order to prevent such a thing from happening!
So on the first night of the two sides' confrontation, the sound of gunfire never stopped! Moreover, more fighting sounds are invisible and unheard in the night! There are many rangers on both sides who fall into the darkness!
When it was dawn, Shandong soldiers and horses rested their artillery positions again and pushed the artillery to the front. The two sides began to fire at each other again!
After a night of rest, both sides have recovered well by their energy. So artillery shooting is particularly dense! And today, Shandong artillery was mixed with some flowering bullets in solid artillery shells, so I prepared to test it.
Destructive power to earth walls!
The Qing soldiers who had replenished artillery and ammunition fought back and fired firecrackers frequently! But no one noticed that the flowering bullets of Shandong artillery were relatively low, and no flowering bullet had ever crossed the city wall and fell into the city city.
Moreover, with yesterday's experience, the artillery of both sides was quite accurate. In this way, both sides suffered considerable losses! But Liu Pei didn't care at all! His factory would continuously produce artillery to satisfy his consumption. Moreover, the Qing army's artillery would be damaged by one less!
After three days of continuous artillery battle, Liu Pei, who was processing official documents in the tent, suddenly heard the guard signing up and said, "Master General Yang is here!"
Liu Pei put down his pen and said, "Please come in!"
The guards opened the curtains, and Yang Jingfa walked in excitedly and said loudly: "Master, the Qing army was fooled! They sent a cavalry to cut into the area between us and the floating bridge, and destroyed one of our transportation teams!"
Liu Pei said: "How is the situation in the transportation team? How many people were killed or injured?"
Yang Jingfa said: "The casualties are very small! Because they immediately burned all the supplies and retreated after discovering the Qing cavalry according to the scheduled plan. However, some casualties and injuries occurred when they were chased by the Qing army's tail!"
Liu Pei then asked, "Are you sure that all those supplies have been burned?"
Yang Jingfa said: "It must have been burned! This batch of supplies is filled with gunpowder and shells specially arranged, as well as a small amount of food. When the fire is lit, it will be completely exploded! The Qing army and the others can harvest at most some solid shells!"
Liu Pei said: "That's great! Since this is the case, this army may be able to stay for a longer time! If you don't have to act immediately, the Qing army will see through this trap at any time!"
Yang Jingfa agreed and left excitedly. Liu Pei called another officer and asked, "How are we preparing the materials and manpower for the wharf?"
The officer said: "The troops and materials are ready, and you can rush to the river to start the operation at any time! Grandmaster, are you going to take action now?"
Liu Pei hesitated and said, "Wait for a while, I'll see
Did the Qing army be deceived?"
The reason why Liu Pei has been holding his troops these days and has not sent troops to the Hunhe River to receive supplies was because he had an idea to see if he could lure the Qing army on the supply line and have a fight!
In fact, Liu Pei’s real supply line is Hunhe. The materials transported by land are just a cover. Liu Pei’s camp is on the east side of Shenyang City, and a few dozen miles behind his camp is Hunhe. As long as Liu Pei sends a team of people to occupy the river bank, he can build a dock to obtain sufficient supplies.
Just half a day after Liu Pei received the news, Dorgon also received a report from the front line, saying that he had destroyed a Ming army's baggage team. Except for a small amount of food, the remaining supplies in this team were gunpowder and artillery shells!
But these supplies were lit when Shandong troops retreated, and nothing was left! In order to vent their anger, the Qing army chased them for a while and achieved some results.
Dorgon thoughtfully and said, "The team is full of gunpowder and shells, as well as a small amount of food and no other supplies. This shows that their gunpowder and shells are consumed very much!"
The officer who reported the message said: "Your Majesty, the slave has sent someone to observe carefully. The supplies carried by the Shandong army must not exceed ten days. Now three days have passed. Their reserves should be consumed a lot and need to be supplemented urgently. This cannot be fake!"
Dorgon said: "The Shandong naval army is strong, and they would not have thought that using the navy army to transport supplies! This may be a trap!"
The officer said: "Prince, but no ships have appeared on the Hun River recently. On the contrary, our people kept coming and going on the river! And they did not build a dock on the banks of the Hun River."
