Yonghe Town is fifty miles away from Panyu City, and 20,000 horses and horses of Guo and Zhisuo Department advanced at the speed of rapid marching, and it only took about two hours to arrive at the destination in the afternoon. At this time, the Zhou army's maritime cluster had just established an improvised landing ground on the beach southwest of Yonghe Town, and except for some weapons and baggage, only the first battalion of the 1st Marine Regiment and the "Heijiao Battalion" had less than 2,000 combat troops on the beach to cover the safety of the landing ground. Therefore, after receiving the news from the reconnaissance cavalry that had gone out to investigate, the commander-in-chief of the maritime cluster, Huang Hai, on the one hand, ordered the other units of the 1st Marine Regiment to go ashore quickly in the first order of priority, and on the other hand ordered all the warships equipped with artillery to get as close to the beach as possible, cover the land troops with firepower, repel the enemy forces, and consolidate the landing ground.

The Zhou army quickly deployed according to the general order of the Yellow Sea to deal with the Southern Han army, which was already only ten miles away from the landing site. However, the Southern Han army slowed down because of the disagreement between the two main generals, and finally stopped its rapid pace, and did not move in place less than five miles from the landing site.

Compared with Guo Chongyue, the commander who is unlearned and lacks courage and strategy, Zhi Tingxiao, as the deputy marshal, is much stronger than his boss, who only knows how to beg for the blessing of God and Buddha, in terms of strategy and tactics and troop arrangement. But because of this, he was more afraid of the Zhou army and more pessimistic about the future of himself and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command after receiving the order to go on the expedition. After all, even if he didn't know much about the Zhou army before, after more than two months of successive battles, he saw the Zhou army rampaging and invincible in the northern prefectures and counties of Dahan, and he had already had a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Zhou army and the difference in strength between the enemy and us. Therefore, whether it was when he had just accepted the appointment of the deputy marshal, or when he led the army to leave Panyu and prepare to go to Maji to defend the village, or even after he was ordered to turn to Yonghe Town halfway, his heart was trembling and walking on thin ice, for fear that he and tens of thousands of soldiers would fall into a situation from which he and tens of thousands of soldiers would fall into a catastrophe from which he could not recover. Of course, prudence is cautious, and he still has the consciousness that loyal ministers are dead kings and generals who are shrouded in horses, otherwise he would not have done his best to train his soldiers and horses when Guo Chongyue only prayed for the blessing of ghosts and gods, and did all the preparations he could do before the battle.

Therefore, when he learned from the mouth of the horse that less than 2,000 of the Zhou army had disembarked from the ship so far, and that most of the troops were still at sea, his initial reaction was that this must be a trap laid by the Zhou army, with the intention of inducing himself to attack rashly, burrow into the pockets of the Zhou army, gather and annihilate them -- it was only when Li Chengwu fell into the Zhou army's plan to lure the enemy and lightly advance that the 100,000-strong army was annihilated. It was not until after repeated reconnaissance that it was confirmed that only about 2,000 men of the Zhou army had gone ashore, that there were no ambushes around the landing site, and that the Han army was killing and immediately stepped up to the shore, that he was relieved and realized that his opportunity had come. Therefore, on the one hand, he ordered the Tanma to continue to investigate, and on the other hand, he immediately marched with the whole army to Guo Chongyue, seizing this rare opportunity, and slaughtered the beach with lightning speed, destroying the Zhou army that had landed, destroying its landing place, and forcing the other party to abandon the attempt to land at Yongzhen. In this way, even if the Zhou army's naval boat division could not be repulsed on this occasion, it would at least delay its landing process and gain more time for the defense of Panyu City - after all, it was already early afternoon at this time, and when the Zhou army found other suitable places for landing, it would also postpone the landing time until after dawn the next day because it was too late to go ashore.

From the perspective of Zhi Tingxiao, or from the current situation of the two armies, Zhi Tingxiao's proposal is undoubtedly correct. After all, attacking the enemy in Bandu is a common method used by soldiers, and although the anti-landing operation is slightly different from it, the fundamental principle is the same, and this tactic is reasonable and reasonable to use here. But the problem is, first, Guo Chongyue is a combat idiot who knows nothing about military affairs, where does he know what strategy and tactics. Second, before leaving Panyu, the revelations he asked the ghosts and gods were all about setting up a village to defend themselves in order to keep their soldiers safe, and there was only one way to kill if they took the initiative to attack. Therefore, no matter how Zhi Tingxiao persuaded and admonished him, Guo Chongyue used the sharp weapons of the Zhou army and ordered his troops to attack on the wide, flat, unobstructed beach as the way to death, and if he did not do well, he would repeat the mistakes of Li Chengwu at the beginning, and resolutely refused to attack the landing ground of the Zhou army with the main force, and only agreed to set up a fortress on the spot to block the Zhou army.

Seeing that all kinds of persuasion did not work, in desperation, Zhi Tingxiao had no choice but to exercise his authority as the deputy commander of the army, and no longer continued to entangle with Guo Chongyue, who admitted to death, but ordered the 6,000 soldiers and horses under his direct control, rushed out of the camp that had just been built, divided into two forces, the west and the northwest, and killed the Zhou army landing field - in Zhi Tingxiao's view, although the Zhou army with 6,000 Han troops against 2,000 with firearms had little chance of winning, it was better to take the initiative to rush and kill than to be beaten passively in the camp, and there was no chance of fighting back much stronger. Even if his own attack ends in failure, he can at least have a reputation for not fearing death, forging ahead bravely, and martyrdom for his country.

Seeing that the Southern Han army was in a hurry to come from Panyu, they did not take advantage of the fact that only a small number of troops on their side had come ashore and had an unstable foothold, but instead set up camp five miles away from the landing site, and only sent 6,000 men and horses to attack. However, if he can't understand it, he can't understand it, but Huang Hai's mind is not confused at all, and his heart is not relaxed at all. On the one hand, he sent several warships westward and approached the camp of the Southern Han army to conduct reconnaissance. On the other hand, the warships that had already lined up along the coastline from east to west were ordered to open fire one after another to intercept the Southern Han troops who were approaching the landing ground, so as to reduce the pressure on the infantry in the landing field. At the same time, the 1st Marine Regiment and the "Black Jiao Battalion", which had all gone ashore, were divided into three parts, with one battalion of the Marine Corps guarding the materials that had been landed, the other two battalions of the Marine Corps blocking the Southern Han Army from the west, and the "Black Jiao Battalion" blocking the Southern Han Army from the northwest.

With the Yellow Sea's order, nearly 100 warships of various types, including the 20 main warships equipped with naval guns of more than 76 millimeters, suddenly let out bursts of roaring sounds, and more than 400 naval guns ranging from 37 millimeters to 105 millimeters opened fire one after another, firing freely, and in an instant, the 6,000 Southern Han troops on the shore were shrouded in gunsmoke. Before the Southern Han soldiers who were lucky enough to rush through this death zone of steel and flames could catch their breath, they were confronted with a dense rain of bullets from the troops on the shore, knocking them to the ground one by one like harvesting wheat.

In less than a single pillar of incense, less than 1,000 Southern Han soldiers finally managed to escape back to the Southern Han army camp, except for the 6,000 Southern Han soldiers who were killed and wounded under artillery fire and a few soldiers who were frightened by the fierce artillery fire and immediately surrendered and were captured alive by the Zhou army. As for Zhi Tingxiao, because he was at the front of the team, he was shot down from his horse and died on the spot in the first round of artillery bombardment, which can be regarded as the last pursuit of his general's death before the battle.

If it was said that before the Zhi Tingxiao Department was wiped out in an instant, Guo Chongyue was still lucky, believing that the ghosts and gods would help him survive this catastrophe. Then, with the Zhou army's battleship artillery fire and the fierce fire of the troops on the shore, he finally knew the true strength of the Zhou army, but he was completely desperate at this time. Guo Chongyue knew very well that now whether he was learning from Tingxiao to lead the army to attack, or still following his previous decision to defend the village, the result in the face of the fierce firearms attack of the Zhou army would be the same. In fact, in Guo Chongyue's view, it is said that his improvised simple camp is a city like Panyu with high moats and deep moats and a well-guarded city, which is also vulnerable in the face of the firearms of the Zhou army, and even if he leads the army back to the city, it will also end. So, after some thought, weighing and consideration, Guo Chongyue sighed and said to his adoptive mother in his heart, "The child is not filial, and now for the net worth of more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, he can only live up to his mother's expectations and His Majesty's high hopes", and then ordered people to raise and lower the flag and lead the remaining more than 10,000 Southern Han troops to surrender to the Zhou army.

In the early morning of the 16th day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar of the sixth year of Jianlong, the Southern Expeditionary Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty approached the city of Panyu and surrounded the city.
