Li Guo led 10,000 soldiers from Zhongzhen Camp to Ganzhou, crossing mountains and ridges. When he heard that Zhongzhen Camp was coming, Li Guodong personally led a thousand soldiers to go out to meet him five miles away. The Zhongzhen Camp, adapted from the Chuangjun Army, was his most loyal ally. In terms of opposing traditional land gentry, the Zhongzhen Camp had the same goal as the Huai Army.

Li Guo had been named a marquis by Emperor Chongzhen and was named a marquis of Xingguo. More than 200,000 soldiers of Zhongzhen Camp were ostensibly under the jurisdiction of Du Yinxi.

On the mountain road, an army appeared far away, heading towards Ganzhou.

Li Guodong picked up the telescope and saw that the army that came was fighting against the Qing Dynasty in the Zhongzhen Camp. It was Li Guo. Although this army was already organized by the Ming army, most of their soldiers were still wearing blue arrow clothes and white felt hats on their heads, which looked like the outfit of a crusade.

Li Guo also saw the Huai Army flag on the mountain road ahead, and he quickly ordered to accelerate his advance. The Zhongzhen Camp arrived in front of Li Guodong in a short while. Li Guo turned over and dismounted, saluted Li Guodong and said, "I have met Duke of Chu in the end!"

Li Guodong laughed: "The Marquis of Xingguo is coming just right! Our army has insufficient troops to attack Ganzhou. The Marquis of Xingguo is here, but it is a timely help."

"The Duke of Chu has no way to repay the great kindness and virtue of the last general. Now he has the opportunity to repay the Duke of Chu, and he is deeply honored." Li Guo said.

After Li Guo finished speaking, he pulled a young man in white about sixteen or seven years old and introduced to Li Guodong: "This is the dog son Li Laiheng. Laiheng, come and meet Duke Chu!"

The young general with a childish face stepped forward, knelt on one knee and bowed his fists: "Young general Li Laiheng has met Duke Chu! Duke Chu is the great benefactor of my Li family. I am willing to serve the Duke Chu!"

"Hahaha, get up quickly! I can't write two characters Li in one stroke, and we are all a family." Li Guodong reached out and helped Li Laiheng up.

Li Laiheng, in his original time and space, was the one who persisted in the fight against the Qing Dynasty on the mainland until the end. When facing the inevitable fate of failure, he chose to commit suicide by his whole family and would rather die than surrender. He is really an admirable national hero.

Arriving with Zhongzhen Camp was Ma Jinzhong, who was stationed in Yuezhou. Ma Jinzhong was originally a general under Zuo Liangyu, but when Zuo Menggeng surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he resolutely took his army to escape from Zuo Menggeng and followed the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly.

In fact, Ma Jinzhong was also a bandit at the beginning, and later surrendered to Zuo Menggeng. The ones who persisted until the end of the Nanming Dynasty were either bandits or pirates. On the other hand, most of the scholars surrendered the fastest, which is exactly the same as the saying: For righteousness, many people slaughter dogs, and for those who are unfaithful, they are scholars.

The kindest people in China are not willing to rebel if they can't survive? Of course, the Chinese people are not lambs that can be slaughtered. If officials do not allow the people to survive, then will the generals, prime ministers, princes and princes be willing to have a sect?

Hao Yaoqi also came up and knelt in front of Li Guo on one knee: "Hao, please see the young master!"

"Yongzhong? When did you follow Duke Chu?" Li Guo asked.

"Hao was ashamed. In the Battle of Tianjin Wei, Hao was captured. Seeing that Duke Chu loved Dai Mo, he surrendered to Duke Chu."

Li Guo was not angry, but said calmly: "Yongzhong, you don't have to be ashamed. Now Li is not doing things for Duke Chu? We are all the same."

When Li Guo and his friends walked over to a group of Eight Banners Captive Cannon Fodders, he felt that the people in front of him did not look like Han people. Although they were wearing Ming army armor and six-petal pointed iron helmets on their heads, they did not look like Han people. One of them took off his helmet and showed a big bald head. So Li Guo stopped: "Duke of Chu, why don't these people look like Han people?"

"They are not Han people, but Manchus, but now they are also mine, and these soldiers are good at fighting. As long as they make great contributions, they will be Han people in the future. Although they are Manchus, the barbarians will also be Han people when they enter China; and Han people will become barbarians when they enter the barbarians." Li Guodong replied with a smile.

Li Jiaodao: "This is the debate between the Duke of Chu and the Chinese and foreigners. The last general has also heard of it."

People like the Northern Wei, Liao and other Hu have long disappeared into the long river of history. Those people have been sinicized, and now they are also members of the Han people.

In fact, Li Guodong's disgust for the Eight Banners is far less than that for a certain god clan. The Eight Banners cannot be sinicized, but the God clan cannot be sinicized, and will only turn all the Han people into god clans. Once all the Han people become god clans, the descendants of Yan and Huang will be really extinct. The most terrifying thing is that they are green and black. Green changes the Han people from an ideological and cultural perspective, while black changes even their bloodline and skin color. If the Han people are blackened, they will completely disappear.

At present, Li Guodong still has more than a thousand god warriors in his hands, and those people have not been consumed yet. However, Li Guodong plans to find an opportunity to consume all the god warriors. However, they will not be used in the Ganzhou Battle, and there will be no need to use those people to deal with the Manchurian Eight Banners Army in the future. After Duoduo's defeat, the Eight Banners Army is no longer a myth. In the future, the Huai Army can easily push them off. Therefore, those god warriors will be used in the war against Western colonists.

After the arrival of Zhongzhen Camp, the battle of the Huai Army to attack Ganzhou officially began.

The giant cannons of the Huai Army had not yet arrived in Ganzhou. After landing with the auxiliary troops dispatched by the Land Division, they went to cut down the woods and build large-scale siege weapons. At present, all the auxiliary troops of the Huai Army were unified into the organization of engineering troops. In addition to building siege weapons and transporting supplies on land without rivers, the engineering troops also had tasks such as bridges, roads, and fortifications. They were close to the modern army's engineering troops, but there were more land transportation tasks than the engineering troops.

There were many mountains and forests near Ganzhou at that time, and soldiers of the engineering corps drilled into the mountains, cut down wood, and created various siege weapons.

Since Li Guodong placed his hope of breaking the city on heavy cannons, there were not many types of siege weapons created. In addition to large ladders, there were simple ladders, watchtower cars and shield cars. The way to attack was to use soldiers to push the roof of the shield cars, and the scattered soldiers on the tower cars suppressed the city head with firepower, and then bombard the city wall with heavy siege cannons, and then let the infantry break into the gap. While the infantry attacked the gap, taking advantage of the opportunity when the defenders were overwhelmed, simple ladders and large ladder cars built the city wall from the other side.

The Eight Banners Captive Cannon Fodder soldiers will be used in the most tragic battle for the gap, and Li Guodong also changed his mind. It was not worth using the god warriors to deal with Gao Jinku, but in order to speed up the attack, he still planned to send a few god warriors to rush into the gap that was bombarded by cannons, blow up a piece of defenders first, and then let the Eight Banners Cannon Fodder soldiers rush into the gap.

Just as the engineering troops built siege weapons and were ready for siege, the inland gunboats on the river continued to bombard Ganzhou city with mortars.

On the river, the sound of cannons rumbling, and white smoke rose from time to time, and 64-pound solid shells kept rising into the air and landing on the top of the city, smashing the bricks to pieces, and the walls were smashed to pieces. Heavy shells fell, and bricks and gravel on the top of the city were flying everywhere, and the defenders were almost unable to stand firm.

Then the gunboats replaced the flowering bullets. Each row of flowering bullets fell on the top of the city, and a fire broke out. Debris iron beads flew everywhere. Countless defenders screamed and fell down in the explosion. Several shells just landed near the city's weapons and exploded. The flames flashed, and the weapon hit the city's weapons exploded into pieces of wood in an instant.

Three days later, when various siege weapons were completed, the Huai Army Navy transport fleet also sent twelve twelve pound field cannons, a heavy siege cannon and a giant siege mortar cannon. When the transport ship transporting cannons arrived in Ganzhou, the soldiers of the Engineering Corps immediately came up and prepared to pull the cannons ashore.
