He Tengjiao's army went down the Beijiang River. According to the military information obtained before, the Pearl River has been occupied by the Fujian Navy. He Tengjiao's navy was actually just a transportation team, so how could he dare to fight with the Fujian Navy?

On the He family's central army's ship, He Tengjiao's fingers were gesturing on the map. After a while, he slowly spoke: "The navy in the thief army is powerful, and my navy is no match for us. We get off the boat in Lianshan, and all the troops march to Guangzhou on foot."

Lianshan is today's Qingyuan City. It was Lianshan County back then and was under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture.

At this time, Shaozhou and Yingde were all in the hands of He Tengjiao. The He family army used Shaozhou as the logistics base, and He Tengjiao's food and grass were stored in Shaozhou City. His tactic was to get off the ship in Lianshan and hike to Guangzhou. The logistics transportation line was with Beijiang as the backbone. After the transport ship full of grain arrived in Lianshan, it was replaced with a small sampan and arrived in Guangzhou through a small river channel.

Zhang Kuang frowned, analyzed the situation, and advised: "Duchen He, our army sent several spies to Guangzhou, but there was no news. The spies were unable to come back to report the news. Now they don't know what the situation in Guangzhou is, and whether Guangzhou is still in our hands. Fortunately, our army is in Beijiang. Li Zhe and Zheng Zhe do not understand the situation of the Beijiang River, so their navy dare not enter Beijiang rashly. If our army rashly gave up Beijiang and reinforced Guangzhou on foot, if we were ambushed by Li Zhe on the way, our army would probably not be able to fight."

Giving up the Beijiang main channel, which can be easily advanced and retreated, and simply using the mainland division to rescue Guangzhou is indeed an unwise choice. What's more, He Tengjiao didn't understand the battle situation in Guangzhou City at all, so he rashly rescued Guangzhou with infantry. This was a big trick.

He Tengjiao once sent five spies to Guangzhou to spy on military information, but several spies were like meat buns beating dogs, and each of them went without returning. It was obvious that it was all the credits of the Huai Army and the Huai Army Navy at night (Frogman Camp). Tactical imitation of the Huai Army, which had a strong ability to block and control the battlefield intelligence, was very powerful, and the He family army could not even get any information.

"No, we have to rescue Guangzhou in time! Mr. Zhang, Guangzhou's city is strong, and the bandit army has not been able to conquer Guangzhou City for only 20 days or a month! When the bandit army arrived in Guangzhou, someone in Guangzhou reported the message to me. It was only ten days since today. No matter how powerful Li Zhe is, he can't even think about capturing Guangzhou City within ten days." He Tengjiao insisted on his own opinion and did not listen to the advice.

General Li Zao said: "He Tuchen, the spies sent by the last general have no news, which shows how elite Li's bandits are. If Guangzhou City has fallen into the hands of the bandits, my 100,000 troops will die in vain if my 100,000 troops go to Guangzhou."

The Crown Prince, the navy general of the He family army, also advised him hard: "He Tuchen, although the last general cannot defeat the Zheng bandits, Beijiang is the territory of the last general. As long as our army does not take the initiative to attack and defend Beijiang, even if the Zheng bandits personally enter Beijiang, the last general can make him never come back!"

He Tengjiao sneered: "Our army has many powers. As long as the army sends more spies in front of it, if the spies fail to come back, it means there are ambushing troops in front of us. Our army is advancing steadily, and I don't believe that Li Laoer can do anything to us."

Everyone had no choice but to obey He Tengjiao's orders. When the He family's fleet arrived in Lianshan, the He family's troops disembarked one after another, gathered on the east bank of the Beijiang River, set up camps, and waited for dawn to head towards Guangzhou. Although He Tengjiao was incompetent, Zhang Kuang and Li Zao under his command were still capable. Qin Yuchun, Mandazhuang, Chen Yougong and others were all good generals, so the He family's camp layout was still orderly, which made Li Guodong, who was good at night attacks, unable to find any loopholes.

Although the He family army had a population of 100,000, the real combat soldiers were only more than 40,000, and the other 60,000 were auxiliary soldiers. Moreover, most of the 40,000 combat soldiers were mobs and were not opponents of the Huai Army at all.

However, the He family army's every move was under the surveillance of Li Guodong.

In the mountains and forests, there are ambushed with green military uniforms, grass rings on their heads, and leaves and branches on their bodies. On the road, there are spies who disguised as farmers and do not collect spies at night, and there are spies who disguised as fishermen on the river.

Those who disguised themselves as farmers and fishermen did not collect them at night, and some were questioned by the He family army, but their psychological quality was good and they answered them without any leakage when they were questioned. The He family army's people could not see anything wrong.

When Li Guodong learned that He Tengjiao had given up on Beijiang, landed in Lianshan, and was preparing to hike to Guangzhou for rescue, he immediately sent a map.

"Everyone, please see," Li Guodong's finger gestured at the map, "The old thief He Tengjiao gave up Beijiang and chose to advance by land. From Lianshan to Guangzhou, we came along the way, and the water nets and hills were crisscrossing. Although it was not conducive to our cavalry movement, it was beneficial to our infantry ambush. It would take at least five days for them to arrive in Guangzhou. We can find their flaws within these five days, set up an ambush, and wipe out He Tengjiao in one fell swoop!"

The terrain in the south was not conducive to cavalry movement, so in real history, the Southern Ming Dynasty was destroyed, mainly by the Green Camp Army. Without a large number of Green Camp Army, the Qing Dynasty would not have thought of seizing the South.

The Huai Army spies monitored the movements of the He family army every day. After two days of surveillance, they had basically figured out the route of the He family army's march. Although the situation on the battlefield changed constantly, Li Guodong understood He Tengjiao's personality. This person was a stubborn mind, and basically the plan he had made would not change.

Therefore, Li Guodong formulated a plan to ambush the He family army. He decided to set up an ambush between Dashigang and Tianlongding. These two mountains were actually two low hills, with an open land in the middle, and a spacious official road passed between the two hills. The Huai army infantry who ambushed the He family army set up an ambush in the open land. When the He family army entered the ambush circle, the army immediately broke out. The broken infantry was ambushing the Yaying Ridge behind the He family army; a small number of cavalry responsible for pursuing ambushed in the woods under the hills.

Li Guodong began to call the general: "Hao Yaoqi, you lead two thousand iron armored soldiers and three thousand self-generated musketeers to ambush in the East Hungary. I will send Zhang Shiwen to lead one thousand gunners to help you. There are also archers from the Zhongzhen Camp to help you. When the arrows are shot into the enemy formation, you will fight out."

"Here!" Hao Yaoqi and Zhang Shiwen took the order and retreated.

Li Guodong looked at Xiketeng and Wang Fuchen again, "Xiketeng, you lead your headquarters to 1,000 heavy armored infantrymen of the Eight Banners of Manchus to ambush the mountain in the Maling area. I will ask Wang Fuchen to lead two thousand self-generated musketeers to help you. There are also archers from the Loyal Camp to help you. When the arrows are shot into the enemy formation, you will fight out."

"Here!" Wang Fuchen and Xiketeng took the command arrow and retreated.

"Wu Liuqi, Wang Quan, you two lead 3,000 light armored infantry to ambush under Yayingling Mountain. If He Tengjiao's army goes south, don't worry about them and let them pass; when He Tengjiao retreats in battle, you send troops to stop them."

"Here!"

Li Guodong said to Cao Bianjiao again: "General Cao, you lead your 3,000 cavalrymen to ambush in the woods from Tianlongding to Yayingling Ridge. When He Tengjiao is entangled with our infantry, you will immediately kill you. If the enemy retreats, you will pursue it."

"Here!"

"General Liu Tichun!" Li Guodong looked at Liu Tichun. Although Liu Tichun was not from the Huai Army, Zhongzhen Camp stood with Li Guodong at this time. This battle was originally the Huai Army. Zhongzhen Camp and Zheng Family Army fought hand in hand, so Li Guodong could arrange combat tasks for Liu Tichun.

"The last one is here!" Liu Tichun stepped forward and bowed.

"General Liu led 10,000 archers to ambush the mountainsides on both sides of the official road. When the He family army entered the ambush circle, shoot arrows immediately and shoot with light arrows to disrupt the enemy formation. When our ambush comes out, stop shooting arrows!"

"Here!"

Li Guodong finally ordered the Hammer: "Harve, the key to the decisive victory is in your night-breaking camp. Remember, if He Tengjiao sends spies, you can eliminate some, but be careful not to kill them all, leave some back for them to report. The most important point is that your mission is to protect our ambush from being discovered by the enemy. Once the enemy spies are found, inform our ambush in advance and let them pay attention to concealment. If the enemy spies inevitably come to my ambush position, kill them."

"Please rest assured, the general will definitely complete this task!" The hammer took the command arrow and bowed and left.
Chapter completed!
