Although the British are powerful, they still only occupy part of the river, which is far from enough to control much land, and they do not have much intelligence ability.

On the Chinese side, Yang Fang led the army from the West Gate, detoured to the territory of Bao'an County, and then quietly reached the Kowloon Peninsula; Li Xian himself led 7,000 troops, and then put on 5,000 green battalion soldiers, and reached the vicinity of Humen.

At this time, the communication technology was very backward, and the three places were still not a short distance apart, and it was impossible to keep the communication unobstructed, so they could only make an appointment to arrive at the designated place before a certain date, and then launch an attack at the same time.

Before the war, Li Xian tried his best to encourage the six princes to send as many troops and horses out as possible from Guangzhou City, but he was also worried that Guangzhou City would suddenly have a moth and turn his face to attack Sanyuanli.

If Guangzhou City had maintained an army of about 30,000 people, Li Xian would probably not be willing to lead the main force out of Sanyuanli, leaving only 2,000 men and horses to guard Sanyuanli.

The two sides had agreed to launch an attack on the three strongholds at the same time on June 15, but after the appointed day, the six princes led most of their troops out of the city and assembled their troops near the Sifang Fort.

Originally, according to the strength of the defenders of Guangzhou, it would be good to have 15,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the six princes, but I didn't expect that this time the six princes brought out a lot of soldiers and horses, and there were 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses one after another, which far exceeded the original estimate of the Sanyuanli coalition army.

What's even more terrifying is that after the six princes led the army out, they were supposed to go straight to the Sifang Fort, but they only assembled near the fort, and had no intention of attacking the fort at all.

Even the reaction of the British army was very peculiar, seeing the Chinese troops gathering near their positions, they were not afraid, let alone shelled, but sent people over to contact the side of the Six Princes.

"Our commander has sent me to inquire if you want to attack the army of Sanyuanli together as agreed beforehand?" asked the British officer in charge of liaison to the Chinese army of the Six Princes.

"That's natural, and I hope you will abide by the agreement and destroy this group of rebels together. The Sixth Prince replied.

When the British officer heard the satisfactory answer, he saluted and returned, and in a moment the British army also came out of the position, and lined up beside the army of the Six Princes, but there were 5,000 men.

Originally, the defenders of the British army in the Sifang Fort were quite limited, only about 5,000 people, but at this time, looking at the strength of the British army, there were at least more than 5,000 soldiers in the position, which was far beyond the prior estimate.

"The people will listen to the order and march towards Sanyuanli. "There are fifty or sixty thousand troops under the command of the sixth prince, and he can't help but be angry, pointing to the direction of Sanyuanli and giving orders.

"Li Xian, Li Xian, you are conceited that you used your own soldiers, and you were deceived by me this time.

You caused me to be seriously injured in the Sanyuan blessed land, lost almost all of your men, and wanted to make trouble in Guangzhou, and rebelled, and people like you must not be left. The sixth prince gritted his teeth and said, his whole face became hideous, completely different from his usual elegance.

It turned out that Emperor Daoguang had sent two princes to deal with the reappearance of the amber golden cicada, and these two princes were the fourth prince Yi Su and the sixth prince Yi Yi.

According to the distribution between the two, the fourth prince Yixu is responsible for the cleanup of the northern sect, the sixth prince is responsible for the south, and it is the sixth prince who presides over the strategy of the three-yuan blessed land.

The six princes originally did a good job in the Sanyuan blessed land, but with the help of the organs set up by the Thirteen Yiren in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, they awakened a large number of corpse soldiers, and once suppressed the Sanyuan Temple.

It's just that later, Li Xian helped Sanyuanguan to come up with a surprise soldier, breaking through the secret realm of the Blue Bat Sect in Macau to the secret realm of creating corpse soldiers, and then used rocket artillery and artillery to rectify the white-armored soldiers and corpse soldiers in the secret realm.

At that time, the people of the Qing army did not know the power of modern artillery, and put the headquarters too far forward, all within the range of Li Xian's artillery, and then were fired by Li Xian's rocket artillery, and were almost exterminated, even the six princes almost lost their accounts in this round of shooting.

Fortunately, at that time, the six princes were guarded by two congenital masters, the silver elephant and the red cloth, and as a favored prince, there were also a lot of life-saving things on him, but in the end, he was rescued desperately by the two congenital masters, and he was taken away from the Sanyuan blessed land.

That's it, the two congenital-level Dharma kings were also killed and injured, the six princes themselves were also seriously injured, and the team of cronies created for the throne was also injured in this battle, and after leaving the blessed land, they also cultivated for a long time, and spent an amazing value of elixir before they picked up a life from the king of Yama.

With such an experience, the six princes hated Li Xian's three-element view, and their previous attitude of appeasing and appreciating the coalition forces in Sanyuan was naturally going to attract people.

In fact, with the hatred of the six princes for the Sanyuanli coalition army, how kind his attitude is, how strong the hatred in his heart is.

The six princes put on the attitude of Corporal Lixian, and deceived the main force of the Sanyuanli coalition army to leave Sanyuanli, and after running to Humen, they were about to show their hideous true colors and lead heavy troops to attack Sanyuanli.

As long as the remaining 2,000 troops are eliminated and Sanyuanli is occupied, the six princes plan to massacre the civilians and troops in Sanyuanli, and they must dig up the roots of the Sanyuanli coalition army.

After that, the coalition army lost its base area and a large amount of logistics materials, and was cut off from the middle by the army of the Six Princes, separated from the defenders of Foshan and Macao, and it was only a matter of time before it was destroyed.

In short, after the six princes occupied Sanyuanli, they could choose to send troops to destroy Wang Jiuxuan in Foshan, or face Li Xian's main force who hurriedly returned to the army after knowing the bad news, and they could take the initiative on the battlefield no matter what.

In order to achieve this goal, the six princes also made a lot of preparations in advance.

As a matter of fact, the news on the Guangdong side was blocked, and the Qing court and the British government deliberately concealed the news, and the negotiations between the two countries in Nanjing had already made a breakthrough, and the peace agreement had already been decided.

The Sixth Prince took this opportunity to mobilize the commander of the British army, saying that the armies of the two countries would no longer attack each other, and even work together to encircle and suppress the Sanyuanli Coalition Army, an army that had caused huge casualties to both sides.

The British army also hated the Sanyuanli coalition army, and took this opportunity to weaken the strength of the Qing government army and bury internal hidden dangers, which was in line with the interests of the British, so it was natural to hit it off with the six princes.

Before this battle, the main force of the British army in the north had already returned to Guangdong by sea, but it was just to hide its strength and not launch it, so the British troops stationed in the Sifang Fort outside Guangzhou were 10,000 people, instead of 5,000 as Li Xian thought, and the strength of the Hong Kong and Humen forts was also greatly strengthened.

After the alliance, the British army will send 5,000 troops to assist the six princes to march into Sanyuanli, and destroy the defenders of Sanyuanli, who are only 2,000 people.

This was not enough, the six princes also took advantage of the British army's maritime transportation capabilities, transferred tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other places, and smuggled them to Guangzhou to hide.

However, because this transfer of troops was carried out from the sea and water, with the help of the British fleet, no matter how strong Li Xian's intelligence ability was, there was no way to effectively monitor the British fleet, and such important information was omitted, making Li Xian think that the British army only had 9,000 troops in Guangdong, so he was relieved to attack Humen.
