Groha never dreamed that he would encounter that nightmarish Ming army again after more than ten days. After retreating from Gaoyang that day, Groha, who was feeling distraught, decided to give up the raids along the way and go directly to Yueto. After reporting the battle situation to Yue Tuo, those colleagues laughed at him for being a waste and exaggerating, and now Gyeonggi has brought out Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army and Guanning Iron Cavalry, where is there still an established Ming army, not to mention that only 200 people can beat Groha's ass and urine, which can only show Groha's incompetence.

Almost everyone thought that Groha must have been drunk and attacked to make up a lie. Yue Tuo did not hold him accountable for this, but he did not have his share in the next plunder. As the raids in the southern part of Beizhili were very smooth, Yue Tuo's brigade entered Shandong. So Groha was left behind in Hejian Province, leading 2,000 Qing troops to guard a large number of supplies and tens of thousands of people in the city. Groha was helpless, and he could only sigh when he saw others making meritorious contributions. In recent days, it is said that a small Ming army in the area from Suning to Qingxian to Renqiu is harassing the transport team. Groha immediately thought of the team he met in Gaoyang, and don't forget that the last thing to appear was the cavalry, according to Groha's analysis, these people should have horses for everyone, but there were only more than two hundred muskets. And he is not good at horse fighting, so he chooses foot fighting.

At Yue Tuo's request, he had no choice but to send two teams of 500 men to patrol the area from Hejian Province to Cangzhou to protect the transportation line.

When Geshha came to report that a large force of Ming troops had been found in the north, Groha was drinking alone on the city wall. Although he did not believe that there would be Ming troops near the river now, he instinctively stood up and looked out of the city. As a result, Groha was taken aback at a glance, at least two thousand Ming troops. Fortunately, it is mainly infantry. Groha asked his subordinates to gather their men for the first time, on the one hand, wondering if these people didn't know that Hejian Mansion had fallen? Or are these the defenders of Hejian Province who were scattered by Yue Tobel a few days ago?

Soon, except for the remaining three necessary garrisons, all the cavalry in the city was concentrated at the city gate. Groha held his breath in his heart and decided to go out of the city to meet these Ming troops who did not know whether they were alive or dead. He wants to completely annihilate this Ming army! Let his colleagues see that he is still a warrior of Xiao Yong, a subordinate of Yue Tobel. The cavalry of 800 people came out from the entrance of the city gate, and the momentum was also very terrifying. At least the expressions of the defenders of Hejian Province who had been beaten to the point of losing their armor could speak for themselves, if it weren't for the courage of the hundreds of cavalry on both sides, they would have scattered and fled at this moment. And those who have never been on the battlefield are even more blindfolded, standing stupidly in place and at a loss.

The performance of the Ming army on the opposite side made Groha even more convinced that this was a Ming army that had accidentally entered the river, and it was really a good time for him to show the elite cavalry and archery skills of the Jurchen cavalry! Urging the horse to raise the whip, Groha was in high spirits.

Then, and then the sound of running sounded, and the front row of the originally panicked infantry team suddenly dodged, and then six guns that had been prepared opened fire on Groha's cavalry team from four hundred paces away. There was no need to aim, and six flowering shells fell into the ranks of the cavalry that had not yet been deployed, and the flying fragments brought countless terrible howls. The burning and explosion immediately frightened the horses in a small area, and a large number of cavalry were thrown directly off their horses. In just the first round of shelling, Groha's cavalry corps lost at least thirty or forty people.

Sprint, sprint! Groha, who originally wanted to put on a posture and shoot a round of cavalry first, immediately ordered that those artillery pieces must be dealt with as soon as possible. However, Yang Hongzhang naturally would not let him succeed. After the artillery fired a round of fire, the muzzle of the cannon was raised high, and the cavalry on both flanks quickly closed and rushed towards the Qing army on the opposite side. The two sides walked in opposite directions, and the distance was shortened instantly, three hundred steps, two hundred steps. Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Before entering the range of the bow and arrow, the sound of popping beans sounded. The sound of Groha is all too familiar. It's a musket! Groha did not let the troops stop, believing that only close combat could give full play to the advantages of the Jurchen cavalry. One hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps, fifty steps...... Then there was the reenactment of the day outside Gaoyang City. The difference is that this time those Ming people are riding on war horses and throwing palm thunder! When the first round of palm thunder exploded, Groha finally realized that this Ming army might be the Ming army he encountered in Gaoyang that day. Because of the range of the musket, the method of battle of the palm thunder is the same. But now it's too late to regret it. There is no other way but to rush desperately.

Groha, who confirmed his guess, is vengeful and hopes to use the total annihilation of this team to play shame!

At the same time, the six guns of the Ming army quickly loaded their ammunition, moved their positions, and once again fired flower shells at the cavalry ranks of the Qing army. After the first shelling, there were cavalry who tried to bypass the Ming army from both sides, but the Ming cavalry spread out horizontally and widely. Groha and his men thought that with the strong combat power of their cavalry, they would be able to penetrate the opponent's cavalry ranks as soon as possible, and then start a slaughter of the infantry!

So the cavalry of eight hundred men did not fully unfold, but kept moving forward. The explosion of the palm thunder completely confused the entire cavalry ranks. The drop of the second round of fire bombs turned out to be even more lethal than the first.

Groha and his men pressed forward, knowing that the gates were narrow and that if they retreated, they would be a live target for muskets and artillery. Only forward! His efforts almost succeeded, and more than a dozen of his own soldiers also succeeded, dodging flintlock pistols, dodging palm mines, and the Ming army was in front! However, he was facing the cavalry of the Tianxiong Army, which was one in a hundred, and Lu Xiangsheng's personal army did not have a part of it! So he didn't get any advantage in the next melee fight.

On the contrary, Yang Hongzhang and others used their dexterity and the short muskets on their waists to constantly attack on both sides of the Groha team. This was a duel between the cavalry, originally Groha had the advantage in numbers, but due to the preemptive attack of the artillery and the sudden firing of the flintlock pistol, the Qing cavalry could not start the queue at the first time, and most of the cavalry fell into chaos without sprinting. Of course, if it was just a blocker from the palm of the thunder, Groha was still confident that he would turn the situation around. But with the stalemate of the cavalry on both sides, the hundreds of Hejian Fu defenders standing behind the cavalry have become the key to the situation of the war, they have seen the strong combat effectiveness of the Qing army, but today is an eye-opener, in front of the strong Qing army, the cavalry of General Xiao Yang is not lost to the Qing soldiers at all. No wonder the prefect had the confidence to lead them to attack the city. Hundreds of men joined the battle immediately after the manager's stunned stand-up, and they scattered behind the narrow cavalry and began to chop and throw at the seams. Then it was the prefect Xiang Siwen who led those people who had no combat experience to line up the array they had just learned the day before, and shouted in unison: Kill, kill, kill! At first, it was not very neat, but I remembered that more and more people found the rhythm, and thousands of people spoke in unison, and the sound shook the sky. Let those Qing soldiers who can't figure out the situation tremble! Even Yang Hongzhang in the battle was impressed by Xiang Siwen.

The encounter outside the gates lasted nearly half an hour. It should be said that this time Groha's choice was correct. Otherwise, under the cover of artillery fire, 2,000 people will become 2,000 elite siege soldiers. But Groha's miscalculation of the enemy forces, or the failure to learn his lesson, cost him. Eight hundred people were almost compressed into a confined space of two or three hundred paces at the city gate, unable to move. The artillery of the Ming army was constantly harassed, and the war horses were constantly trampling on each other, and even the archers' projectiles would make the war horses doubly frightened. When Groha tried to turn around and flee back to the city of Hejian, he found himself surrounded by dozens of Ming infantry. He regretted that he was so vengeful that the lone god was included! As soon as possible, these infantry looked vulnerable, but they couldn't stand up to the crowd.

The same is true of his own soldiers. In other words, the frontal interception of the cavalry of the Tianxiong Army and the cooperation of the defenders between the rivers do reflect the coordination of the Ming army's array. Those who broke through the thin cavalry ranks were soon surrounded by countless bows and arrows, and if he was lucky enough not to die, he was greeted by the broadswords of several infantrymen.

Groha didn't escape in the end, and Xia Dongwei couldn't let him run away. Brought out more than 200 cavalry from his uncle, held it for a long time, and was finally able to show his skills.

When the remaining more than 200 Qing cavalry scattered along the city wall, more than half an hour had passed.

The scene was so tragic that even Yang Hongzhang didn't expect it. Although Yang Hongzhang used artillery to attack suddenly, used palm mines to intercept, and used flintlock pistols to suppress. But for the victory of this battle, his team of 2,000 people still paid more than 300 casualties, of which more than 100 were cavalry and more than 100 were Hejian defenders. There are also those people who have no combat experience and are injured by the cavalry in the back row of the Qing army. On the cavalry side, because it was a frontal lease, the Tianxiong army led by Xia Dongwei suffered the greatest losses, while Zhang Hu's Bazhou army trembled in a small space because the opposing cavalry did not launch a queue charge, and their personal martial arts of the chivalrous warriors in the narrow space were fully utilized.

And the sailors brought by Yang Hongzhang had two short guns as special weapons, and they attacked at critical times, which basically made the Qing soldiers turn around and run more.

The battle didn't end there. After everyone entered the north gate, Yang Hongzhang ordered Xia Dongwei and Zhang Hu to lead a team to clean up the rest of the city gate and the remaining enemies in the city. Leave a hundred Hejian infantry to guard the north gate, and leave dozens of people to gather the war horses outside the city. The rest drove directly to the Yamen of the Hejian Prefect, and under the leadership of Xiang Siwen, the road was unimpeded.

But when they arrived at the door, they found that there were still more than 100 people guarding the prefect's yamen. The fold made Yang Hongzhang feel strange. The whole battle has been going on for so long, why don't these people support Groha? However, Yang Hongzhang was not polite, let the cavalry spread out and surrounded the main gate, and then began to fire a volley of flintlock muskets. Soon, the Qing troops guarding the gate could not stand the casualties and entered the inside of the yamen. Yang Hongzhang was not in a hurry, but waited for the people and infantry behind him to be in place and surrounded the entire Yamen.
