The War in Eastern Asia: carts with stores leaving Niuchuang for Mukden, 1895. 'Following the fall of Port Arthur came a combined attack on Niuchuang by the First and Second Japanese armies. The place would be an advantageous basis of operations against Pekin. By the middle of December the First Army was reported to be only fifteen miles from Niuchuang, impeded in their advance by the intense cold. On Dec. 19 it encountered and defeated 10,000 Chinese, under the command of General Sung, who retreated beyond Niuchuang. One of our Illustrations shows the departure of carts for the interior. Sometimes these trains of carts are so long that a horseman may ride for twenty-four hours and not be able to pass through them, each mixed team of ponies, donkeys, mules, and cattle keeping their noses close up to the one ahead'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
