In Kaifeng, Henan, tens of thousands of regular troops of the Qing army and tens of thousands of local regiments were trained, standing on the city wall, relying on the strong city wall, trembling and waiting for the verdict of fate.

The chief general of the Qing army, Changshun, a shrewd and strong Daur general who does not let Duolonga, is inspecting the city wall, and the other Qing army commander Mu Tushan is stationed outside the city, responding to each other, the camp of the Qing army, learning the practice of the Hunan army, digging trenches, dense and sharp, not only quite solid,

5,000 Manchurian cavalry, dozens of foreign cannons, and hundreds of foreign guns all made the weapons and equipment of the Qing army significantly higher than that of Huaxia Tian**.

"As long as we hold Henan, we can defend Hebei, and those who win the Central Plains will win the world." Changshun said to the accompanying generals,

"Yes, the general taught me." The generals and officials, only promises,

The situation is quite crisis, so the Qing army general Changshun was mobilized back from the southeast front to serve as the general of the Manchu army in Kaifeng, Henan, and the successor general of Shaanxi, Mu Tushan, has been defeated again and again from the border of Shaanxi, and he has lost a little temper.

Now, Mu Tushan temporarily replaced General Xi'an, but, just instead, the court severely reprimanded him, his head is temporarily pinned on Xiang, if he can't guard Henan, then the old account and the new account will be counted together,

Mu Tushan, known as the general of Xi'an, can't remember how many times he has been defeated.

Huaxia Tian**'s equipment, although there are new flying thunder cannons, infantry also have short-distance thrown grenades, but, foreign guns are significantly less, more importantly, Huaxia Tian**'s foreign guns, not much ammunition, the range is not far, a large number of damage, can not be repaired, and the Qing army's foreign guns, is from the Western powers, a large number of procurement and transportation, almost, in the Qing army, the ratio of soldiers and foreign guns is 2:1, this ratio is amazing, and, under the severe urging of the Qing court, A large number of foreign cannons purchased and transported from the customs at various ports were intercepted and transported to Mu's army, so that the Hunan army and the Huai army fighting in the southeast zone were greatly affected, and aroused the disgust of Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and others.

The Qing court attaches great importance to the hostile forces in the northwest, and has shifted the focus of the battle to the area of Henan and Shanxi, and is mobilizing heavy troops.

The follow-up troops of the Changshun army are 50,000 and are gathering from all over the country, and there are tens of thousands of horse teams coming from Mongolia and Heilongjiang Province.

Not only that, the Qing court also transferred the troops of the famous cavalry general Monk Greenqin, who was fighting against the Twist Army in southern Henan, to the northern part of Henan Province to intercept Huaxiatian**,

Strictly speaking, the Qing army had an advantage in weapons and equipment,

Because of this, the victorious march of Huaxia Tian** is particularly precious, the vanguard army Lan Chengchun troops, and the Qing army fought particularly hard, under the dense bullet rain of the Qing army's foreign gun troops, heavy casualties, often need to attack repeatedly, take a surprising winning method to make progress, sometimes, with infantry attack, two cavalry divisions of the encirclement attack as a threat, forcing the enemy to retreat,

The Qing army and Huaxia Tian** both took advantage of their own advantages and thought of a lot of ways, so the battle was extremely fierce.

When Luo Yang heard the news from the front line, he was deeply worried, and immediately went out in person and rushed to the front line to serve as a commander, and even the women who were sent to bed did not care, especially after the surrender of the upper echelons of the Hui army in Xining and Suzhou, they were forced to donate a large amount of gold and silver, and four beautiful girls each had been sent to Xi'an, and he had no chance to contaminate.

I was unhappy, and I vented it on the head of the Qing army,

After carefully analyzing the situation on both sides, especially the characteristics of weapons and equipment, Luo Yang sent men back to Xi'an to step up urging and supervise the development of new rifles in the arsenal, and on the other hand, began a cautious and effective offensive.

Lan Chengchun's army fought from Tongguan to Luoyang, losing more than 6,000 people, if it weren't for the enthusiastic people of Henan Province to join in the supplement, it would really cause a huge shortage.

In Luoyang, after the Luoyang army was bombarded by the Qing army's foreign artillery, he immediately retreated, and the small-scale tentative attack failed, but he found out the enemy's firepower, the range of the foreign cannon is more than a thousand meters, the power is huge, and there are cannon wheels that can be quickly towed, which is indeed much more convenient than his earthen artillery.

During the day, it was just a temptation, when the Qing army counterattacked, they continued to retreat, and at night, a cavalry brigade under his command suddenly attacked in a roundabout way, breaking through the Qing army's camp, and the Qing army was defeated and scattered, as a result, it was killed and wounded by the cavalry.

In the fifth watch, Huaxia Tian**'s troops operated artillery under the city of Luoyang, a large amount of gunpowder, nearly a hundred flying thunder cannons, towards the city wall of the Qing army bombardment, as a result, all the Qing troops who came to defend were shattered, the remnants of the Qing army escaped from the east gate, and was chased and annihilated by a large number of cavalry,

In the battle of Luoyang, Mu Tushan was defeated, more than 5,000 regular troops were killed and wounded, 1,000 cavalry, and the loss of regimental training was more than 10,000.

Luoyang adopted the tactics of disrupting during the day and attacking at night, giving full play to the power of short-range artillery, counteracting the foreign artillery of the Qing army, and making it impossible for the Qing army to parry.

After a series of victories, in the northwest region of Henan Province, Huaxia Tian** has captured more than 50 foreign cannons abandoned by the Qing army and strengthened its strength.

Outside the city of Kaifeng, the two armies confronted each other, and the troops of Huaxia Tian** were assembled into three groups, Luoyang Road, the main attack force, Lan Chengchun's troops, in order to prevent the Qing army's southeast reinforcements, mainly to prevent Seng Lingqin, the north road, to prevent the Qing army's Manchu and Mongolian reinforcements,

There are a lot of Kaifeng people, absconded out of the city, reported to Huaxia Tian** the number of enemies, equipment, it can be said that the people, or towards Huaxia Tian**, although most of them remained silent, under the pressure of the Qing army, but also every household sent young adults, to serve as the defense task on the city wall,

The battle of Kaifeng, starting with the sudden attack of the Qing army, the Changshun army with more than 1,000 elite cavalry, went out of the city in the evening, and launched a counterattack on Huaxia Tian**, the purpose is to test the military strength of Huaxia Tian**, and at the same time hope to win a small victory, cheer up the spirit,

These more than 1,000 cavalry are all elite in a hundred battles, compared to the officers and soldiers of the two cavalry divisions of Huaxia Tian** that have just been formed, they are much more invited, everyone is at the level of instructors, they have repeatedly defeated Taiping Tian**, and they can also confront the twisted army of tens of thousands of cavalry, often winning more with less,

The Qing cavalry who charged to the vicinity of the barracks did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, and the flying thunder cannon of Huaxia Tian** finally seized an opportunity and immediately bombarded, as a result, the Qing cavalry, which had already taken precautions, was still blown up, killed and injured more than 300 people, and hurriedly retreated.

At this time, the troops of Seng Lingqin had arrived, 30,000 elite infantry, more than 15,000 cavalry, a large number of foreign artillery, rockets, etc., not a joke, after the defeat of the war against the British and French forces, the Qing court was completely reduced to foreign slaves, and a large number of weapons were purchased to give priority to equipping their own descendants,
