'The Japanese are concentrating, according to latest advices, a large force upon Niuchuang. General Liu has arrived there with 20,000 men. The Chinese troops have fled in terror from the place, as many as 11,000 being midway between Yinghow and Niuchuang. One of our Illustrations shows the departure of a heavily laden Chinese ammunition train. This very train fell into the hands of the Japanese a few days after, being intercepted and captured without much resistance'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
