Dongfeng Po looked at the assembled soldiers and horses, 3,000 musketeers, 500 cavalry, plus 200 artillery, with three three-pounder guns and three six-pounder guns.

"Open the gates, and let's go." Dongfeng Po saluted Hu Kui on the tower of the city gate, and then took the lead and ran out of the city gate.

No one on both sides of the melee outside the city paid attention to the county seat at all, fighting everywhere, everywhere you could see the Qing army running over, one moment you saw the Huaxia army chasing the Qing soldiers, one moment you saw the Mongolian cavalry chasing the Chinese army servants, one moment the Chinese army cavalry pursued the Mongolian cavalry, and another while, the Manchu Qing soldiers were stationed together, using bows and arrows and muskets against the Huaxia army besieging them.

In the brighter and brighter morning light, the good time when the Huaxia army took advantage of the chaos of the Qing army was gone, and the disadvantage of the small number of troops of the Huaxia army became more and more manifested.

As soon as they gathered, they were scattered by the opponent's large force of soldiers and horses, one moment the Qing soldiers gathered and were scattered, and the other time the Huaxia army gathered and was scattered by the recalcitrant Qing and Manchu soldiers.

By the time Dongfeng Po rushed out of the city gate with a large number of soldiers and horses to march in formation, there were very few Chinese troops fighting on the south gate, and occasionally some hiding servant troops could be seen throwing away their weapons and being captured by the Qing soldiers.

As soon as the three thousand soldiers and horses lined up in a neat line out of the city, the nearby Qing soldiers immediately fled in fright, and Dongfeng Po did not order the pursuit, that is, blindly marched towards the army, and the road continued to collect the disrupted servant army and civilian soldiers, and when the enemy cavalry and five hundred cavalry attacked together, they ran back after defeating the enemy, and when they encountered a small group of Qing soldiers, the elite musketeers who took the lead ran forward, and a battalion of soldiers formed temporarily, took turns to shoot fire in three rows, and the Qing soldiers were defeated.

3,000 musketeers took the battalion as a unit, lined up the battle line with a frontal width of three miles, the left and right cavalry guarded, the rear artillery drove the carriage to follow, a battalion of musketeers protected, a hundred cavalry protected, straight line advance, all the way to the depth of nearly seven or eight miles in front of the south gate, gathered about 800 troops, organized into a battalion, led by the soldiers of the Huaxia Army, the servant army as the main force, the people followed, and then turned to the southwest direction, around the battlefield outside the city seven or eight miles wide began to clean up the enemy.

With the advance of the team, by the time the sky was bright, Dongfeng Po and his soldiers and horses had been cleaned from the front of the south gate to the front of the west gate, during which he gathered the cavalry of the three hundred scattered cavalry regiments, captured more than 100 cavalry of the enemy's Han army banner, and did not kill them, nor sent them to the rear, and directly scattered them into the cavalry team, and continued to pursue and kill the enemy on the battlefield.

When the west gate was cleared, 300 Mongolian cavalry, 500 green battalion soldiers, 500 servant soldiers, 100 Huaxia army soldiers, directly reorganized on the spot, the team grew to nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses, continued to advance along the axis, turned, and then came across a Qing army camp, and there were many Qing soldiers in the Qing army camp.

The artillery stepped forward, bombarded it, and then the whole front was pushed forward, the Qing army was defeated, even the Manchus surrendered, rescued more than 100 soldiers of the Chinese Army, and incorporated into the team.

The battle at the north gate was fierce, and there were formed Chinese soldiers and horses to occupy the Qing army camp, which was the enemy's Mongolian soldier camp yesterday, resisting the siege of about 3,000 Qing soldiers, some of these people were green battalion soldiers, some were Mongolian cavalry, and more were Qing Manchu soldiers, and the will to fight was quite tenacious.

Dongfeng broke continuous artillery bombardment, volley of guns, Manchu cavalry actually dared to rush into battle, volley of guns, cavalry attack, more than 300 captured Mongolian cavalry and more than 100 Chinese cavalry cavalry were killed, and finally wiped out this force of more than 3,000 Qing soldiers and horses.

More than 1,000 soldiers and horses of the 1st Brigade were rescued, including more than 80 remaining soldiers of the 1st Brigade, more than 300 officers and cavalry regiments, more than 500 servants, more than 300 young and strong people, and nearly 2,000 wounded, most of whom were civilians.

Leaving the wounded and some civilian soldiers in this battle, the captured prisoners of the green battalion soldiers were incorporated into the team, and some lightly wounded were left to guard the camp.

They successively conquered the camp previously captured by the 3rd Brigade and 2,000 Han Army banners, rescued the soldiers of the 303rd Brigade, as well as 800 people, and 100 cavalry captives from the former Dajin Kingdom in Shanxi Prefecture, who promised to be loyal to the Huaxia Army and were incorporated into the cavalry.

At this time, the cavalry led by Dongfeng Po had reached 1,200 troops, 2,500 soldiers of the Huaxia Army, more than 1,200 servants, more than 500 prisoner soldiers, more than 900 civilians, more than 300 artillery, and a 10-pounder cannon of the Qing army was captured.

However, after all, the Qing soldiers were absolutely superior in strength before, although after a night of chaos, many people fled young and strong, many of the troops of the township and regimental warriors were scattered a lot overnight, the green battalion soldiers lost their armor, and there were many who escaped, and the Mongolian cavalry encountered chaos Although the Qing generals tried their best to retract, but they still died and ran without a trace, and there were many people who could not return to the team, after a fight and melee, the strength of the Qing soldiers was also greatly damaged, and there were not many troops who could come out to counterattack, only 4,000 soldiers and horses.

1,000 Mongolian cavalry, 1,000 Manchu cavalry, 500 Han banner infantry, 300 Xiangyong, more than 2,000 green battalion soldiers, and three cannons, this is the team that came out to suppress the rebellion in the nearby Manchu camp.

After all, Suo Etu has been fighting for so many years, after a night of chaos, and by the early hours of the morning, when the sky was slightly bright, he also organized a counterattack like Dongfeng Po, quelled the chaos, and gathered the troops.

The first thing he did was to suppress the two cannon fodder camps, kill all the chaotic civilians captured there, and then ran into the soldiers and horses of the Second Brigade, the Second Brigade had a lot of soldiers and horses, four or five thousand people, and later joined the combat effectiveness of the cavalry battalion.

Later, the troops of the cavalry regiment suddenly appeared and scattered the ranks, and now he is still gathering his troops and horses, pursuing the scattered soldiers and horses of the Second Brigade.

The Second Brigade did carry out the task given to them by Dongfeng Po to contain the enemy, but because the team was scattered and could not convey orders, the departments of the Second Brigade were fighting separately, and the three hundred Huaxia troops of the Second Brigade Brigade were carrying a thousand servant troops, and the common people fled all the way.

Suo Etu finally lost the Second Brigade when he entered the territory of Huailai County, and could only go back to his home and return to his own camp.

Hurriedly ordered the Qing army to take the soldiers and horses hastily gathered in the camp to go out to attack the Huaxia army, with his thoughts, the soldiers and horses of the Huaxia army will not have too much, his estimate, the soldiers and horses of the Huaxia army will definitely not exceed three thousand soldiers and horses, he knows too well the soldiers and horses in the Huaxia army city, the Qing army has always liked to use spies to earn the city gate of the Han people, and then take the opportunity to seize the city gate with elite troops, the cavalry rushed in to attack the Han city, the Han city gate was broken, there must be chaos, so the Qing soldiers can often fight more with less, and get a quick victory.

However, he now encountered the 16th Division of the Field Army led by the hard-fought Dongfeng Po, who saw through the Qing army's inability to gather a large number of troops, so he dared to take more than 3,000 soldiers and horses to clean up the battlefield in a crushing manner.
