After stabilizing the surrendered general, Roto immediately ordered the entire army to advance towards Qingyuan.

At this time, in addition to more than 4,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry under Roto, there were more than 1,000 Han cavalry formerly under Dingnan Fan and commanded by the line Guoan, which brought the total number of cavalry to 6,000. In terms of infantry, there were nine thousand Green Camp soldiers led by Li Benshen, the left admiral of the left. These camp soldiers were Northern Zhili and Xuan Da Bing, and most of the officers were from the Ming Xuan Da Bing Army.

The troops of the Right Biao Admiral Zhang Yong were only more than 2,500 soldiers, but in terms of elite troops, they were braver than Li Benshen's troops. The reason was that the troops of Zhang Yong's troops were the Guyuan soldiers in Shaanxi and Gansu. Guyuan was one of the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty and fought with the Mongols for many years, so the soldiers' elites were even more powerful than Xuanda. When the Qing army entered Guizhou, Zhang Yong led his troops to rush to the forefront, and his contributions were no less than Li Benshen. There was a saying in the Qing army that the Shaanxi and Gansu soldiers were the strongest combat power of the Green Camp, which was confirmed on many battlefields. When Roto was ordered by Doni, he asked Doni for Zhang Yong to come to him, hoping that the Shaanxi and Gansu green camp soldiers under Zhang Yong could make great contributions for him.

Four generals from the Qing army went south from the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp. The other three were Zhao Liangdong, the deputy general of the General under the Hong Chengchou tent, Wang Jinbao, and Sun Sike, the left one. Now, except for Zhang Yong, the other three were all under the Hong Chengchou tent, and did not come with the army.

Xing Guoan gathered more than 5,000 defeated soldiers in Hechi. In addition, the 4,000 soldiers brought by Guangxi Governor Chen Weixin from Duyun, Roto had nearly 30,000 military power, and there were thousands of soldiers and civilians, most of whom were strong men from Guizhou.

On May 17, the flag of the Qing army's vanguard Zhenglan Banner Cavalry appeared above Yiyang Post west of Qingyuan Prefecture City. At the same time, the Qing army also discovered the red flags fired by the Taiping Army.

Roto did not expect that the Taiping Army did not defend the city, but instead went out to show off his stance to fight him in Yiyang Station.

Yu Shizhong, the commander of the Guangxi Field Army of Taiping Army, had long been determined to wipe out the Luotuo army entrenched in Hechi. He was originally planning to wait for a batch of granular gunpowder that was still on the way to explode the Hechi city wall like Qingyuan, but the Qing army suddenly went out to advance towards Qingyuan, which surprised Yu Shizhong. However, before he could think about it, he issued a general order and ordered all the soldiers of the four towns under the Guangxi Field Army to gather in Qingyuan.

Yu Shizhong chose the battlefield in the vast Yiyang Post, which was a battlefield that made the Taiping Army unable to obtain geographical advantages, and even cavalry that was conducive to the Qing army. The towns under the corps all questioned the command of the commander to choose the Yiyang Post, which was beneficial to the Qing army, but Yu Shizhong opposed the opposition and insisted on fighting the Qing army in Yiyang Post.

Yu Shizhong made an order to the general Zhou Shiqi. He would report victory to Guangdong in seven days, and even send Roto and the heads of Xing Guoan. Therefore, he not only wanted to defeat the Qing army in this battle, but also wanted to wipe out them. Therefore, Yu Shizhong must make Roto feel at ease on the battlefield and feel at ease that he would throw all his troops into it. Only in this way can he defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and achieve his full contribution, rather than letting Xing Guoan and thousands of Qing troops escape like Qingyuan.

This is a bold battle deployment. Since the establishment of the Taiping Army, there has never been a precedent for field battles with tens of thousands of Qing troops. The Chaohui War was more of a battle on the defense line. Rather than saying that Ji Du was defeated by the Taiping Army, he was defeated by hunger. The only two large-scale field battles with the Qing army were the Battle of Shenwan and Songjiawolou. But the Battle of Shenwan and Songjiawolou were not a simple field battle. The Taiping Army could win was inseparable from geographical factors. If the mud of Shenwan made it difficult for Manzhou cavalry to move, the outcome of that battle was hard to say. In the battle of Songjiawolou, neither the Ming and Qing dynasties had expected the existence of the other party in advance. With the protection of the night and the surprising surprise of the Bing Brigade of the Fifth Town lies on the mountain, the Taiping Army could wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.

More importantly, whether it is Shenwan or Songjiawolou, the Qing army had a maximum force of only 10,000 people. This time, the Luotuo tribe had nearly 30,000 troops, and 6,000 cavalry inside. This strength is no worse than Jidu, who went deep into Chaozhou. For this reason, the generals of the towns were inevitably in doubt. The fourth town general Wang Youxi and the generals of the 13th town, and the generals of the 14th town Geng Zhongde expressed his concerns to Yu Shizhong.

Yu Shizhong told them with great confidence that the Taiping Army would definitely defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. And Yu Shizhong emphasized to them, "We are the Guangxi field army. If we cannot fight in the field, we are what kind of legion. This battle is to let the Qing army know that our Taiping Army can fight in the field!"

Yu Shizhong was able to distinguish between Yiyangyi and the Qing army's field battles and received support from two generals. One was the commander of the Iron Man Guard, the blind Li, and the other was the King of "Ma Yaozi" who was commanding 2,000 cavalry and the auxiliary minister who was transferred to the Guangxi Field Army.

The blind man shouted that he would tell them to see the blind man's power. In addition to his own maneuvering skills, Ma Yaozi relied on his 2,000 Mongolian cavalry. Now, one of the two men led 800 iron guards to sit on the ground and wait quietly, while the other was immediately taking out the wine bag and drinking a rich wine with several Manchu and Mongolian generals beside him.

A large amount of Ming army information appeared in Yiyang Post and was quickly sent to Roto. Roto, Xing Guoan, Aljin and others were stunned at first, but then they were overjoyed. If the Taiping Army was defending Qingyuan, it would be quite difficult for the Qing army to succeed in a quick battle. Now the other party is out of the city to fight in the field. Isn’t this abdication of the long and the shortcomings? Don’t these Taiping gangs know that the Qing Dynasty has brought thousands of Manchu and Mongolian cavalry this time!

After the orders were issued one by one, Roto led Xing Guoan and Aljin to Yiyang Post. Looking at the wide battlefield in front of him, Roto smiled on his face. Xing Guoan was relieved, and Aljin laughed even loudly.

The admiral Li Benshen of the left Biao and the admiral Zhang Yong of the right Biao also expressed the feelings that the Taiping Army generals seemed to be ignorant of the army. They really didn't know why the Guoan on the front line was defeated so miserably.

The whistle sounded, and teams of Manchuria, Mongolian and Han cavalry rushed out from different directions toward Yiyang Post. Roto's order to encircle the cavalry from both wings and surround the Taiping Army.

Yu Shizhong, the commander of the Taiping Army opposite, hoped that Roto would not leave any backup plan, but Roto did not leave any backup plan. His desire for victory was stronger than Yu Shizhong.

After all the six thousand cavalry were sent out, Roto used the left admiral Li Benshen's troops to fight against the central army of the Taiping Army, Zhang Yong, the right admiral Zhang Yong and the Guangxi Governor Chen Weixin's troops to deal with the right wing of the Taiping Army, and the front-line Ministry of State Security to deal with the left wing of the Taiping Army.

More than 28,000 Qing troops were divided into several large formations and advanced towards the Taiping Army in Yiyang Post with constant horns. Just wait for the cavalry surrounding the Taiping Army to surround the Taiping Army, and the Qing army was about to kill the Taiping Army.

After a large number of Qing cavalry came from both wings, Yu Shizhong waved his flag to command the fourth town on the left wing and the thirteenth town on the right wing to lengthen the front, which forced the Qing cavalry to lengthen the front. Then he threw the flag out again, and the fifth towns and fifteenth towns of the central army formed a battle formation and stepped forward.

The flags were scattered and dust was rising everywhere. The battle was about to break out.

Roto frowned. He found that the Taiping Army's strength seemed to be no less than him, and there were cavalry in the opponent's back formation.

No wonder the bandits dared to fight with me here. They had some support, Rotto thought.

Ild looked for a moment and reminded Roto: "General, the enemy's wings are elongating!"

Roto nodded, and ordered the cavalry to ignore the Taiping Army and launch an attack on their wings directly, so as to attract the attention of the Taiping Army to both wings. He also ordered Li Benshen to prepare that once the Taiping Army draws the army from the central army back to defend the two wings, he should immediately take advantage of the situation to kill. The Qing army on the right and left wings also received the order of the general. Zhang Yong looked at the dark Taiping Army formation on the opposite side, and suddenly felt a sense of heroism in his heart.
