After ten days of rest, Huaxia Tian** was divided into two roads, all the way to Kaifeng, Luoyang and other places, all the way to the north of the Yellow River, through Xinxiang to force Anyang, and directly to Hebei,

At the top level, there was a serious discussion, Luo Yang decided, to take a slow march, in order to avoid possible dangers, historically, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Northern Expeditionary Army is more than 30,000 people eager to go north, isolated and helpless and failed, Luo Yang believes that with their current weapons and equipment, trained soldiers, there is no problem in destroying the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the problem is that once the Qing court is in danger, flee to Chengde, Hebei or Inner Mongolia, the national civil war will continue, simply, put the battlefield in the Central Plains, as much as possible to eliminate the Qing army, so, The defense of Luoyang Kaifeng, on the one hand, is to establish a consolidated base area, and on the other hand, it is also to attract the Qing army in the Jianghuai Valley to go north to fight the victory.

Luo Yang guarded the important cities on the south bank of the Yellow River with the vast majority of his troops, and led two cavalry brigades, an artillery brigade, and two infantry brigades to cross the Yellow River on the 21st of the first month under the guidance of his fellow villagers in Henan, and fought a battle with the defending troops of the Qing army, and easily defeated it.

More than a dozen Qing soldiers who were baking sweet potatoes around the fire on the river defense, with their hands in the sleeves of their cotton clothes, shrunk their necks and gossiping, sighed from time to time, and also looked towards the Yellow River.

"What kind of life are we living?"

"Yes, troubled times."

"Ma Bi, how did the long-haired thief change to the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom." A soldier was puzzled,

"Go, change the soup and not the medicine."

While he was talking, suddenly, someone exclaimed: "Look, the hairy thief is coming, the hairy thief is coming." ”

More than a dozen Qing soldiers observed for a moment, and immediately shouted wildly, and then, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the entire Yellow River was alarmed, and with the alarm, countless Qing soldiers and more militia groups rushed over with weapons, trying to intercept the enemy on the bank of the Yellow River.

"It's just a joke, do they still think it's the Dadu River?" The officers and soldiers of the Old Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, who had the tragic lesson of the Dadu River, sneered,

Luo Yang made serious preparations, in the shallow place of the river, several medium-sized boats, loaded with some soldiers, the bow of the boat was piled up with sacks and planks, etc., which could cover themselves, and all the officers and soldiers used foreign guns to aim at the opposite bank.

The Qing army gathered by the river, and that General Mu Tushan became the new commander of the Yellow River River defense, leading more than 300 civilian cavalry to personally participate in the battle, hoping to intercept the enemy.

Luo Yang personally operated foreign artillery, thirty guns, and an artillery battalion, waiting on the south bank of the Yellow River, and as soon as the troops crossing the river reached the middle reach, they immediately opened artillery bombardment.

Thirty foreign cannons, with only one round of bombardment, bombarded General Mutushan's cavalry and retreated in a panic.

Luoyang's artillery continued to bombard, so that the Qing army could not assemble, and those militia groups pouted their butts and fled.

The soldiers of the Huaxia Army fired at the enemy on the shore with intensive firepower, and although it was a foreign gun with a single shot that was extremely slow to load, it also caused heavy casualties to the enemy troops on the shore.

The Qing army fled at speed,

As soon as the crossing of the Yellow River was controlled, a large number of follow-up troops continued to pass by.

Two days later, the troops rushed to Xinxiang City, where they encountered strong sniper fire from the Qing army.

The special forces captured a number of stragglers of the Qing army, and found out that the Qing army concentrated the defeated and retreating Qing army in Xinxiang, and the militia regiments from various prefectures and counties were forcibly incorporated, so that the strength of the army was restored to 60,000 people, with Seng Lingqin as the commander, and Mu Tushan and Changshun as the left and right wings.

This scumbag is a scumbag, and he dares to confront our army, Luo Yang sneered,

After arriving in Xinxiang, Luo Yang immediately asked for battle, the troops approached the city wall, sent people to shout to the city, asking Seng Greenqin to fight, Monk Greenqin ignored it, bombarded with a foreign cannon, and bombarded Luoyang's military envoys into pieces.

Luo Yang was furious, and immediately dispatched troops to assault Xinxiang, an infantry brigade as the core, protecting the artillery, arranging twenty foreign cannons on the position, flying thunder artillery preparation, a regiment of cavalry on both wings, and an infantry regiment behind it, two cavalry regiments as reserves, after the artillery began to bombard, the Qing army on the city was blown up dizzy, and hurriedly avoided the city, hoping to escape by chance, but the Huaxia army immediately put the flying thunder cannon in front, and hit the city wall to bombard inside, less than ten minutes, the city gate was blown down, and the city tower was also bombarded to pieces, the officers and soldiers of the Qing army who have not yet fled, are full of casualties,

Monk Greenqin knew that in the battle of Kaifeng, all his heavy weapons were lost, and he was not the opponent of the Luoyang army, so the troops arranged in the city were all infantry, although he personally appeared on the city tower, but the purpose was to attract the attack of the Huaxia army.

The Huaxia army broke through the city gate, broke through smoothly, first controlled the city gate, and then guided a steady stream of advances.

Monk Lingqin was overjoyed, this was exactly the scene he was looking forward to, he wanted to use street fighting to consume the enemy's forces, even if it was defeated, it would make the Huaxia army suffer huge losses, he would flee to Beijing City, and he would have something to explain.

In the city, the Qing army dug ravines one after another, turning a city into a group of fortresses, a group of rolling mountains, this is a plain area, it is really embarrassing for the old monk,

It's a pity that Monk Greenqin underestimated the power of the Huaxia Army, the infantry of the Huaxia Army, with a large number of foreign guns for long-range shooting, shot the Qing army, most of the Qing army's foreign guns lost, now the number is very small, and the Huaxia Army can not be confronted at all, the way to succeed is to lurk in the trench, sneak attack the Huaxia Army, suddenly cut a knife, poke a shot or something, luck can succeed in the meaning,

Mu Tushan's troops launched an attack on the left flank of the Huaxia army, the team of more than 4,000 people, it looked so pitiful, as a result, in the confrontation with the flank cavalry of the Huaxia army, the two sides came and went, and the battle was very fierce, but the Qing army was still not an opponent, the cavalry of the Huaxia army used hundreds of foreign guns to shoot at the Qing army, and the Qing army was killed and wounded countless times.

Under the fierce battle, the Qing army had more than 4,000 people, and only 1,000 survived.

General Changshun, who was mainly composed of militia groups, stuck to Xinxiang City, supervised tens of thousands of township warriors and thousands of Qing troops to resist, and used the fortress groups and ravines to resist and hesitate the advance of the Huaxia army.

Half an hour after the battle, Seng Lingqin rode out and led hundreds of cavalry back to the back of the Huaxia army, and at the same time, more than 10,000 cavalry ambushed by the Qing army suddenly killed from the hidden places of several villages five miles away, and copied to the back of the Huaxia army.

This is the tactic of seducing the enemy deep and attacking with cavalry, carefully planned by Monk Greenqin,

The Huaxia Army, with one regiment of cavalry and two battalions of infantry, as well as dozens of flying thunder cannons that did not rush to the city in time, became the strength to resist the large cavalry group of the Qing army.

The disparity in strength is very great, the Qing army is extremely brave, and the monk cavalry troops, which are mainly composed of personnel from the Mongolian army and the Heilongjiang army, are very brave in battle.

Courage is a good phenomenon, so, the battle of Xinxiang is very good, but the tactics of crowds are not good,

The continuous bombardment of artillery fire, especially the heavy lethality of the flying thunder artillery, soon bombarded the Qing cavalry to the back, and many of the war horses were already frightened and went crazy, so they did not listen to the cavalry.
