After the three-way gathering of generals, the drum beats the war, and the Han army commander's tent gathered.

Zhao Ming was wearing golden armor, covered with a beautiful battle robe, and a beast-headed golden helmet. He pressed his sword in his hand, raising his arms and shouting, "Now Guangzhou is not benevolent and righteous, and the army is like bandits. He robbed the people. I decided to set up a large army, and the troops were sent to Guangzhou to relieve the people from hang upside down!"

"Roar!" When the generals heard the words, they raised their arms together.

Soon, Zhao Ming made arrangements, and 100,000 Han troops, all the infantry and cavalry were out, and the troops were sent to Guangzhou.

Huizhou, Lufeng County.

Jiao Lian led 10,000 troops to station here to monitor the Han army retreating to Chaozhou.

At this time, Jiao Lianzheng wrote a letter in the camp, urging Guangzhou to escort food and grass.

He wrote a letter to his confidant and said in a deep voice: "Go to Guangzhou quickly and be sure to hand it over to His Highness the King of Guangdong."

Jiao Lian had already gone to count the letters and suggested that Zhu Yue and Huizhou build a gun city to resist the Han army.

Because judging from the current situation, the Ming army in Guangzhou was not strong enough to drive the Han army out of Chaozhou and recover Fujian. Guangzhou would be threatened by the Han army for a long time. However, the eastern part of Guangdong had not been warned for many years and the city was disrepaired for so long that it could not resist the Han army.

Therefore, Jiao Lian suggested that a gun city was built in eastern Guangdong that was enough to resist the attack of the Han army to defend against the Han army, so as to prevent the Han army from entering and threatening Guangzhou.

When building a city, it cost money and grain. Jiao Lian inspected the terrain of eastern Guangdong and decided to build a city in Lufeng. However, he wrote a few times, but Guangzhou did not transport grain. Without food, the city naturally could not start construction.

As the weather turned colder and the Han army had been resting for more than two months, Jiao Lian became more anxious and could only keep sending letters to urge him.

"As for the order!" The guard took the letter with both hands, put it in his arms, and then left with great strides.

As soon as he lifted the curtain, he snatched it in front of him, and the two of them were full of their arms.

The general staggered, stabilized his body, ignored the soldiers who were knocked to the ground by him, and rushed forward, "Master General, something is wrong, the Han army is coming!"

Jiao Lian was shocked when he heard the words and stood up, "What did you say?"

The general said in panic: "Master General, the Han army attacked and killed. The vanguard passed Kuitan. Deputy General Zhao's first battalion of troops had already dispersed."

Jiao Lian was shocked and stood there for a while, "Is it a small group of people who crossed the border, or?"

The general panicked and said, "All the mountains and fields are everywhere, and a large-scale invasion is launched!"

Jiao Lian's expectation was shattered, and he was speechless for a moment. He quickly thought about the pros and cons in his mind. Suddenly, he picked up the knife and strode out of the tent. The guard immediately quickly took out the helmet and followed it out of the tent.

Jiao Lian stood outside the tent, exhaled a breath of turbid air, took his helmet and put it on, and returned to calmness and said: "Lufeng small county cannot stop the Han army. He ordered the army to immediately decapitate the camp and retreat to the city to defend."

"Abide by the order!" The general hurriedly took the order and left with his fists.

Jiao Lian then asked his guards to hand over the letter, tore it in half, and said in a deep voice: "You still go to Guangzhou and inform His Highness the King of Yue that the Zhao thief was invading the territory."

At this time, the soldiers in the camp, when they learned the military orders, did not care about packing the military tent, and had already rushed out of the camp.

Jiao Lian then turned over and led his soldiers to run westward.

More than 10,000 soldiers rushed to the Tuojin River bank east of Haifeng County, but found that a soldier had already set up his front and was waiting for a long time.

Jiao Lian couldn't help but hold back the horse's reins. The soldiers behind him stopped quickly, and looked at the soldiers lined up like walls in front of him, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's the Han army!"

Zhao Ming retreated to Chaozhou, in addition to judging that Guangzhou would inevitably suffer civil strife, another purpose was to lead the Ming army out of Guangzhou, go forward to Huizhou to fight against him, and wait for an opportunity to encircle and annihilate the Ming army in Huizhou.

In this way, the power of the Ming army in Guangdong can be weakened, and the morale of Guangzhou can be deterred.

Before Zhao Ming led the army to fight, the navy had transported 6,000 Han troops and landed in the rear of Lufeng, cutting off Jiao Lian's retreat.

At this time, a passage was opened in the Han army. General Dang Shousu slapped out with his gun and laughed loudly: "Jiao Lian, I will seize Haifeng and cut off your way back, but I will not stop and surrender!"

Seeing this, Jiao Lian was furious and waved his sword and roared, "Kill me!"

More than 10,000 Ming troops, intercepted and pursued soldiers in front of them. After running for dozens of miles, they were tired, but they still launched a charge.

At this time, Dang Shousu saw this and sneered, pulled his horse back into the formation. The Han army musketeers immediately raised their guns and fired, and then fired their bows and arrows. Finally, the army rushed forward and killed the Ming army.

Unlike most Ming troops in Guangdong and Guangxi, Jiao Lian's troops were relatively capable of fighting. They once quelled the rebellion of King Jingjiang and later supported southern Jiangxi and Huguang, which was considered a long-standing battle formation.

The two armies fought fiercely, and at this moment, a sound of horse hooves came from behind, and the Han army pursued the troops.

"Kill!" Wang Chao shouted loudly, led three thousand Han cavalry to the Ming army, and then immediately knocked the Ming army away.

The Ming army retreated in panic, but now it has been attacked from both sides and collapsed immediately.

"Master, defeated!" A general of the Ming Dynasty roared anxiously.

Seeing this, Jiao Lian pulled out his reins in annoyance and "break northward!"

After speaking, he led nearly a hundred personal guards to the north to kill. When the dynasty saw this, he immediately pulled his horse's head and led 300 cavalry to pursue him.

Among the Ming army in Guangdong and Guangxi, there were not many people who could fight. Jiao Lian was dealt with, and even the subordinates were all native chickens and tiles.

Jiao Lian galloped all the way and ran for more than twenty miles to the upper reaches of the Tuojin River. There was a ferry, but no boat was supported across the river. At this moment, the dynasty led the cavalry to the death. Three hundred Han cavalry formed a fan shape to surround Jiao Lian and more than ten subordinates, and surrounded the riverside.

Wang Chao first pointed at Jiao Lian with a horse spear and shouted proudly: "Jiao Lian, when will you wait until you don't surrender at this time!"

Jiao Lian looked at the river and the Han cavalry again. He couldn't help but raise his head and sigh, then turned over and dismounted and discarded his weapons.

The battle on the Tuojin River ended soon, with more than 3,000 Ming troops killed and injured more than 3,000 people, and all the remaining troops surrendered.

After all, it is not a national war of life and death, but a power struggle within the Han people. The struggle between the old and new powers of the upper class is cruel. But for the soldiers, generals and civilians in the middle and lower class, the war is actually relatively mild, and it is almost the same if anyone wins.

At this time, Zhao Ming, surrounded by everyone, came to the riverside. Han soldiers were building a floating bridge to clear the battlefield. Teams of Ming army prisoners were escorting them to the rear.

"Your Highness!" Wang Chao walked over first and bowed with his fists.

Zhao Ming nodded slightly and smiled and said, "The entire Jiao Lian army was gone, and it was done well!"

As he said that, Zhao Ming looked at the dynasty one after another and saw the Han soldiers escorting several people.

Wang Chao immediately stepped forward and whispered: "This is Jiao Lian!"

When Zhao Ming heard the words, he immediately turned over and dismounted, strode to Jiao Lian, and smiled and said, "General Jiao has been captured, and he is willing to surrender!"

Jiao Lian glanced at Zhao Ming, first knelt on the ground with one leg, then knelt down with both legs, and lowered his head and said, "I wish to surrender to the King of Han!"
