In the early morning of the 30th day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar of the second year of Jianlong, as estimated by the generals in Runzhou City, while leaving Qian Yu, the king of Wuyue, to lead 26,000 main forces to continue to besiege Runzhou City, Mutel led the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" and 3,000 Wuyue army infantry to form a reinforcement force all the way to the west to intercept Lu Qi's department.

Since there was no terrain and terrain around Runzhou that was very suitable for blocking operations, after consulting the guide sent by the local "Dark Feather" branch, Muttel decided to place the blocking site on the line of Taiping Village, which was fifteen miles away from Runzhou City. On the one hand, Taiping Village is the only place for the Jiangnan reinforcements to go to Runzhou, and its north is only a few miles away from the river, and the south is only about three miles away from the Wuzhou Mountains that stretch for dozens of miles, and the scope for the Jiangnan army's reinforcements to maneuver left and right is limited, which can make up for the problem that the "Langya Battalion" has insufficient troops and cannot establish a blocking position between the river and the mountains that runs through the north and south. On the other hand, in order to avoid the warships of the old Zhou army cruising in this area, Jingjiang Village, thirty miles away from Taiping Village, should be the best landing place for Jiangnan Army reinforcements. In terms of distance, the Jiangnan reinforcements marched to Taiping Village after landing in Jingjiang Village, and it was almost time to stop and camp, which happened to be the key node when their soldiers were tired and lacking in physical fitness, which was suitable for the Zhou-Wu coalition army to surprise them with leisure and work.

Since the purpose of the blockade was not to annihilate all the remaining Lu Qian troops, but only to use this hope to defeat this support army, make the Runzhou defenders more isolated, and make it easier to attack Runzhou in the future. Therefore, in the arrangement of troops, Muttel neither pursued to ambush Lu Xuan's troops with a tight encirclement, nor did he emphasize that his own troops and horses must be completely concealed. Instead, the main force of the infantry of the "Langya Battalion" was directly arranged on the avenue to meet the enemy head-on, and the artillery of the "Langya Battalion" and the 3,000 Wuyue troops were concealed on the slope of the back of Wuzhou Mountain, on the one hand, to provide fire support for the infantry blocking the enemy head-on, and on the other hand, to prevent the enemy from bypassing the frontal blocking position and going to Runzhou City by the mountain road. At the same time, when Lu Xuan's troops retreated, these 3,000 Wu and Yue troops could also cooperate with the frontal "Wolf Tooth Battalion" to carry out flank attacks, further increasing the enemy's casualties. However, in order to prevent this Marquis Lu Duyu from knowing more about the Beiping Army, after discovering that he was facing the elite "Wolf Tooth Battalion" of the Beiping Army, he directly turned around and retreated. Therefore, while setting up the formation, Muttel also ordered all the flags and logos that might indicate the identity of the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" to be hidden, and raised the banner of Wu Yuejun to confuse the opponent.

Muttel's arrangement did work, and after finding that a troop of troops and horses appeared in his path, Lu Qian immediately ordered the whole army to suspend the march, line up the defensive formation on the spot, and send multiple waves of detective horses to carefully find out the identity of the other party. It wasn't until several scouts reported that it was Wu Yue's army that was blocking the way, and the strength was only more than 1,000 people, that Lu Qian relieved himself and ordered the troops to change to an attack formation, and then continue to advance towards Runzhou after defeating the enemy army in front of him - thanks to the frontal "wolf tooth battalion" attracting most of the other party's attention, and at the same time, with the help of good camouflage and strict military discipline, the soldiers and horses arranged on the back of Wuzhou Mountain were not discovered by the Jiangnan Army scouts.

According to Lu Xuan's estimate, with 8,000 to 1,000, and on this relatively open terrain, it only takes one charge of the 2,000 infantry of the front army to break up the enemy's formation—even if the opponent has built a temporary low earth fence around the position. However, when the 2,000 infantry of the front army rushed to the enemy with the confidence and shouts of a breakthrough, they found that the gap between the truth and the wish was so far away.

A distance of 100 paces, for a well-trained infantryman, it only takes a breath or two to run at full strength. However, the range of 100 steps in front of the circular defensive position of the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" was so unattainable for the 2,000 soldiers of the former army of the Lu Qian Department who charged. A dense rain of bullets from the ring of defensive positions knocked them down in rows like wheat harvesting. At a distance of 50 steps from the circular defensive position, it was like an invisible wall, blocking the soldiers of the Jiangnan Army who were not afraid of death and bravely charged, so that in a short period of time, corpses piled up around the circular defensive position, and the sound of wailing was endless.

Although the battle between the two sides was only half a cup of tea, when Lu Qi, who realized that the situation was wrong, recalled the front army, the 2,000 men and horses who could retreat alive at the time of the charge were less than 1,200 people. Such a heavy loss made Lu Qian regret his mistake in judgment at the same time, he was also deeply shocked by the powerful lethality of the other party, and realized that it was not Wu Yuejun who was blocking him on the other side, but the Zhou army who pretended to be Wu Yuejun to lead him to the bait, and it was also the "Flying Dragon Army" equipped with sharp firearms.

Although Lu Qian had never been in contact with the Beiping Army before, let alone fought against the "Flying Dragon Army", the other party's record was familiar to him. In his opinion, if the rumors he heard about the Beiping Army and the "Flying Dragon Army" were true, and he said that the 8,000 sailors under his command who were far more proficient in water warfare than the land warfare, even if they were 20,000 or 30,000 of the most elite soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River, it would probably be difficult to bargain for anything in front of these more than 1,000 "Flying Dragon Army". In such a situation, to continue the offensive is to kill oneself, and death is meaningless and worthless. In this case, it is better to retreat temporarily, return to the place where you landed, re-board the boat and board the boat, walk along the river, bypass the "Flying Dragon Army" in front of you, land again closer to Runzhou, and use your advantage on the water to get rid of the extremely powerful Zhou army in front of you. Although if you continue to go down the river, you will not be able to meet the Zhou army's sailors, but for his 8,000 boat division sailors, he is far more proficient in water warfare than land warfare, and he may not lose if he fights with Zhou's naval division. Especially given that the other party is only an old-style naval division of the Zhou army equipped with ordinary weapons, the chance of his side successfully entering the city of Runzhou is still relatively large.

Therefore, after a short period of chagrin and anger, shock and uneasiness, Lu Qi, who had completely calmed down, immediately ordered the whole army to retreat, retreat to the landing site, and re-board the ship offshore. Although some of his generals and soldiers were a little surprised by the decision of their commander-in-chief, a military order is a military order. With Lu Xuan's order, except for the former army that had been injured and was left to be in charge of the rear of the palace and block the pursuit of the Zhou-Wu coalition army, the other units of the sailors of this boat division immediately changed from the rear team to the front team, and the front team to the rear team, and retreated westward with a hula.

Seeing that the enemy was about to flee, Muttel ordered all the soldiers in the blocking position to immediately mount their horses and pursue the main force of the retreating Jiangnan Army reinforcements. On the one hand, he sent a signal to the men and horses who were ambushed on the back of Wuzhou Mountain, asking the 3,000 Wu Yue troops to attack immediately, surround and destroy the remnants of the Jiangnan Army who were responsible for the more than 1,000 people behind the palace. At the same time, the artillery of the "Wolf Tooth Battalion," which was also lying in ambush on the back of Wuzhou Mountain, also began to intercept and shoot at the main force of the retreating Jiangnan Army reinforcements, so as to delay the opponent's marching speed and buy time for their own troops and horses to catch up.

Although in a strict sense, in the establishment sequence of the Beiping Army, the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" does not belong to the cavalry, but to the mounted infantry. However, as a special force, the soldiers of the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" actually need to master the professional skills of various arms such as infantry, cavalry, and artillery, and have a certain degree of water manoeuvring and combat capabilities. Although there is a slight gap between them and the "Ranger Battalion" from professional cavalry, they are not inferior to the ordinary cavalry units of the Beiping Army. Therefore, in terms of chasing the enemy army on horseback, the soldiers of the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" are quite professional and effective, not to mention that exposing their backs to the enemy cavalry in the field is a taboo in itself. Therefore, as more than 1,000 soldiers of the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" crossed the remnants of the Jiangnan Army's reinforcements behind the palace, which had been surrounded by Wu Yue soldiers who were almost three times their size, and quickly caught up with the main force of the Jiangnan Army's reinforcements, which could only run on two legs, this blocking battle gradually evolved into a completely one-sided massacre.

The pursuit of Lu Juan's troops lasted for nearly an hour, and did not stop until the place where Lu Juan's troops abandoned the boat and landed. At this time, the main force of the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" led by Muttel had chased out more than 30 miles, killing no less than 5,000 people of the Jiangnan Army. Although more than 7,000 enemies were killed in this battle, although counting the generals who fled along the road, the Jiangnan army that was preparing to support Runzhou City was actually completely annihilated, and although more than 50 Jiangnan soldiers died under his long knives and pistols all the way, Mutl was still not very satisfied with this blocking operation. Because Lu Xuan, who was the commander of the enemy army, because he stepped off his horse and ran all the way under the escort of his own soldiers who were also riding horses, he actually escaped the pursuit of the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" and retreated to the previous landing point with more than 100 people and returned to Jinling on the boat, so that his own resistance battle could not end perfectly.

Fortunately, Muttel is a cool man, and although this battle is a little imperfect, in terms of mission alone, he still completed this battle quite well. Therefore, after arranging for some of the soldiers of the Wu Yue army to collect the bodies of the war dead along the road and bury them as much as possible so as not to cause epidemics, he led the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" and the remaining Wu Yue army to spend the night next to Taiping Village, and quickly returned to the Zhou Wu coalition army camp outside Runzhou City early the next morning.
