Liu Pei was also worried that the central front was too prominent, and the attack of cavalry on both wings was also on the rise, so he ordered the army to retreat slowly. However, the end of a war was slow. Until the afternoon, a war came to an end. The two sides suffered damage to each other in this battle, but overall, Shandong troops still had the advantage!

When all the troops retreated to the camp, it was already evening. Liu Pei and others had a meal of supper and started a meeting to discuss the gains and losses today.

Generals gathered in the entire tent, and Liu Pei sat upright. He heard an officer saying, "...there were more than 6,700 people killed in battle, and more than 3,000 people were severely injured, and countless people were injured. However, according to our estimates, the Qing army should have been killed and injured between 18,000 and 24,000 people! This number includes the number of people who were seriously injured after returning to the barracks!"

Then the result read out a large section of material consumption data. After he finished reporting all the reports, Liu Pei sighed and said, "There are quite casualties! Tell the logistics personnel to do a good job in medical work! Once the seriously injured soldiers can move, they will be transported to the rear for rest!"

At that moment, an officer stood up and agreed, and then said, "But the general, it is best to transfer some wounded people by ship to transfer, because the transportation on the road is very bumpy! This requires the cooperation of the navy!"

Wu Yizhou raised his hand and said, "After the meeting, you come to me. I will allocate it to you for how many ships you need."

Liu Pei nodded, looked at Yang Jingfa and said, "How is your cavalry?"

Yang Jingfa was the only one who was injured among the officers! Because he had been leading the cavalry to battle, he hit a razor on his left arm! Yang Jingfa touched his left arm hanging around his neck and said, "The cavalry suffered a lot! And the main losses were all lost during the melee! The biggest loss was the group of soldiers who broke the rear. It seems that our cavalry's individual capabilities still need to be strengthened!"

Liu Pei said: "Yes, but this is unrealistic! We are not as good as the fishing and hunting tribes that grew up on horseback! So we have to work hard on equipment and tactics! Fortunately, after defeating the Tartars, we will have no powerful enemies!"

Yang

Jing Fa nodded and said, "It's true, but the level in front of us is sad! We have to fight with the Qing army for a long time, and the cavalry is the most important thing!"

Liu Pei said, "Not necessarily! I'm afraid that from tomorrow we will have to fight a well-behaved offensive and defensive battle!"

Wu Yizhou said: "Why do you say that?"

Liu Pei said: "Dorgon is not a fool! After seeing the results of today's battle, he knew that most of the casualties and injuries were all under the muskets, so he will definitely guard us from tomorrow, so they will definitely defend the camp!"

Wu Yizhou said: "If this is the case, wouldn't the death and injury be even more serious!"

Liu Pei laughed and said, "You are just wrong. When fighting a normal offensive and defensive battle, the Qing army must have suffered more casualties! You must know that our artillery is more than ten times more than them, and I will smash them with shells to death!"

The lieutenant officer laughed loudly after hearing this, and said that it would be better to use a long shot. It would be a waste to smash it with shells! Liu Pei waved his hand and signaled everyone to calm down. He said, "You really don't laugh. There are still two hundred artillery pieces delivered today! Remove the hundred and scrapped artillery pieces from us, and we have more artillery pieces than before! And a large number of artillery pieces were transported from Shandong, so everyone can open it! But the cavalry must be sacrificed, fight a few more battles with the Qing army, and consume the Qing army's cavalry more!"

Yang Jingfa said: "It doesn't matter. As long as the energy consumes the Qing army's cavalry, it doesn't matter if the cavalry in our hands are empty!"

At this time, a guard came in to deliver a report. After reading it, Liu Pei showed it to everyone and said, "Dorgon is also smart. He is now like us, using sandbags to build his chest wall outside the camp. It seems that he is planning to put the blocks on the chest wall!"

Yang Jingfa frowned and said, "This dog Tartar learns quickly! But this chest wall is a sharp weapon that is lower than the shells. It would be really troublesome to break their chest wall! I'm afraid it will really increase a lot of casualties!"

Liu Pei smiled and said, "Sandbags can indeed withstand direct fire guns and cannons, but they can't stop the curved fire mortars! I want to see, it's launched hundreds of steps away.

How do they block the shells? Can she still add a cover to the chest wall?"

Everyone laughed again after hearing this! After laughing, Liu Pei said, "Now, let's calculate carefully. After fighting with the Qing army several times, almost 60,000 or 70,000 people from the Qing army have been consumed! I guess it will take a few more days to fight with them to attack the city!"

Yang Jingfa said: "The Grand Marshal intends to reduce their number to less than 150,000?"

Liu Pei said: "It's almost the same! Now, there are about 100,000 people in Shenyang City, and about 100,000 outside the city. Let's try our best to weaken the number of Qing troops, especially the number of cavalry, and you can do it! When Shenyang City is broken, there are countless fugitives, and it is probably possible to collapse half of them! As long as the remaining people are eaten, the other fugitives can be easily dealt with!"

Hearing Liu Pei's words, Wu Yizhou shook his eyes and said, "So, our authentic tunnel is almost done?"

Liu Pei nodded and said, "It can be arranged as long as six days, and it can be arranged as long as two days!"

Wu Yizhou slapped the table and laughed, "I will definitely go and see what a spectacular scene it is!"

Liu Pei rolled his eyes and said, "That's what you want to say, it must be extremely spectacular!"

Then Liu Pei discussed tomorrow's war with everyone, and then all the officers went back to rest. After all, there was a big war to fight tomorrow!

The next day, after dawn, the war between the two sides began. Liu Pei did not directly participate in the command, but went to take a walk. Liu Pei first went to see the battlefield of the siege.

Now if all battlefields need to be distinguished, they can basically be divided into three parts. The first part is to attack the battlefield of Shenyang City.

These days, Shandong soldiers have never stopped attacking Shenyang City! However, they use artillery fire to destroy everything on the city tower, and at the same time launch multiple feint attacks to lure the Qing army to the city and then use artillery fire to consume the enemy's strength!
