Just do it, Li Tianyang's temperament has always been vigorous and resolute, after weighing the pros and cons, the most important thing is that the loss estimate given by the participating department has exceeded Li Tianyang's psychological bottom line, so Li Tianyang still made up his mind to make a wave of him.

This is not a trivial matter, if they want to snatch the goods from the north from the hands of Anhui officers and soldiers, it means that Li Tianyang and they are bound to take action against the military, and if they are not careful, it is likely that Hongmen will become a wanted gang of the Ming Dynasty.

But at this moment, after Li Tianyang decided to reach the various responsible levels, everyone didn't even feel the slightest surprise, and they didn't feel worry, panic and other emotions at all, and the children of his disciples went their own way and quickly started preparations.

The special operations battalion set off ahead of schedule to land in Ningde, which was good news for Hongmen, after Li Tianyang made up his mind, a flying pigeon sent a letter to the "Youjian" inn in Ningde City, and it would not take long to reach the special operations battalion Wu Qixian and their hands.

Most of the caravans that plundered the northern merchants last time were completed by the special operations battalion led by Wu Qixian, and after escorting the goods back, they rested for only a few days, and then they were sent to Ningdelai with a paper order, hiding in a hidden place in the hilly area of Ningde.

At the same time, on Huludao, where the Hongmen Whale Department was stationed, a fleet of more than 30 warships was sailing in full swing and rapidly moving in the direction of Ningde.

Hongmen now has a lot of money and strength, and in the past, if it wanted to organize a team of thousands of people, whether it was a problem of food and grass or manpower, it was a huge trouble.

But now it is different, when Li Tianyang's order is transmitted, the team of more than 3,000 people is dispatched, and the preparation time is only one or two days, and short-term material supply and personnel transfer are no longer a problem that Hongmen needs to consider.

In Ningde County, two thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty slowly escorted this batch of valuable materials towards their goal.

As low-level soldiers, they didn't know what was in the fork full of supplies around them, except for the curiosity and surprise of the ordinary people around them who mixed into the team and dressed in disguise, the rest of the things didn't care about this group of soldiers who had long been used to being used by Liu Liangzuo as private soldiers.

Fortunately, these outsiders who have come to mix in the army along the way know how to win people's hearts, and all kinds of wine and meat have not been cut off on the road, which makes these military masters very useful in their hearts, so everyone tries their best to meet their requests for everyone to hurry forward.

Seeing that it is only a little more than 100 miles away from Fuzhou Prefecture, where the governor of Fujian is located, everyone will be able to arrive before noon tomorrow, and Quanzhou will not last for a day or two after that.

"Battalion commander, the other party has entered our encirclement network!"

The hilly terrain of Ningde made it too easy for Wu Qixian and the soldiers of the special operations battalion to find a place to hide, although the opposing team had always walked cautiously on the official road, but it was no problem to find a favorable terrain in this hilly area.

The soldiers of the 700 special operations battalion, who did not care about the more than 2,000 regular troops of the Ming Dynasty, have cultivated a sense of honor in the army and self-confidence as special forces over the years, so that they dare to squint in the face of the more powerful Qing army Jurchens, not to mention this group of weak brigades that are similar to a group of second-rate troops.

"Prepare for battle!"

Wu Qixian nodded, and made a gesture to prepare for an attack, and the soldiers of the special operations battalion tightened the muskets in their hands and touched the grenades on their waists.

The first to erupt was a mine that was ambushed around the official road, and since getting the manufacturing drawings of this mine from Nan Juyi, Hongmen has conducted its own research and transformation, and now it is much more sensitive and powerful than the mines used in the Ming Dynasty.

Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, the place most cared for by landmines was the front and back sections of the convoy on the official road, where countless wagons were blown to the ground by mines, and all kinds of goods were scattered on the ground.

"If there is an enemy, put up a banner and let everyone draw closer to me!!"

Although Mr. Qian of the Ming army transport team was a little slack in the letter, he quickly came back to his senses and made the best judgment at the first time.

The reaction of this Anhui Ming army also made Wu Qixian and them look high, after experiencing the initial panic, with the support of the military flag, the army that was originally at a loss and resisting like a rat suddenly seemed to have a backbone, and they converged towards the location of the military flag in the center direction.

After having the command of the general, the opponent's actions were more orderly, and the carriages full of goods were dragged by the opponent to form a circle, and countless soldiers relied on this simple carriage wall to start shooting arrows and attacking the enemies who had come around them.

"Grenade!"

Surprised by the other party's well-trained, but Wu Qixian was not idle, the grenade in his hand was thrown out first, and several guards around him helped him block the cold arrows shot in front of him, and everyone quickly rushed towards the wall of the carriage that had not yet been closed.

The grenade exploded in the opposing camp, causing a commotion, and the horses pulling the goods were startled by a loud roar, causing the carts to crumble and delay the time for the opponent to close the wall.

Taking advantage of this gap, the officers and men of the special operations battalion rushed into the encirclement network like tigers descending from the mountain, and more than 200 vanguard soldiers either climbed or slipped into the gap in the vehicle formation, and then there were bursts of killing sounds.

The arquebus on the mountain temporarily lost its effect, and the other party hid behind the car formation that was more than seven or eight feet high, but it was not easy to aim and shoot, and as the vanguard army entered the car formation, the remaining more than 400 soldiers on the mountain also jumped out of their hiding places and rushed towards the battlefield where the killing was full of sounds.

The sound of cannons, grenades, sporadic muskets, and the sound of many soldiers fighting each other in hand-to-hand combat rang out in this remote area.

Under such a big movement, even if there were caravans passing by on the official road, I am afraid that they would not dare to take the risk to appear here, except for the birds and beasts that were startled in the mountains and forests, there were no other figures within a radius of ten miles.

This was expected by the officers and men of the special operations battalion, and in order not to cause trouble to this earth-shattering action of their own side, Hongmen specially set up various checkpoints 20 miles away from the terrain where he chose to set up an ambush, just for fear that his own existence would be exposed.

In this way, the special operations battalion used all kinds of means to deal a heavy blow to the Ming army in the absence of outsiders.
