In Guangxi, the guerrillas led by Ma Ji planned to attack the Long Army, cooperating with the Dian Army to besiege Long Jiguang. Lu Rongting instigated an operation and asked Ma Ji to lead 6,000 men to Baise to threaten to attack Yunnan and cut off Long Jiguang's back route. Lu Rongting himself led the 12th battalion of troops to Liuzhou, pretending to attack Guizhou, but in fact entered Hunan through Guilin. Ma Ji sent Huang Zixin to report to the Dragon Army and instructed him on how to act. Huang Zixin arrived at the place of the dragon and claimed to have been sent by Lu Rongting to participate in the battle. Since Long Jiguang and Lu Rongting were related, he had no doubt and immediately let Huang Zixin participate in the battle.
Thinking that reinforcements would give him an advantage, Long Jinguang ordered the head of Li Wenfu to quickly attack Tufuzhou. At the same time, Li Liejun received the news that Lu Rongting was flanking the Dragon Army, ordered Huang Kaituo to lead his troops to stop the enemy, and told Huang Kaituo that he would flank Li Jun as long as he waited for the arrival of the Gui army. Tang Jiyao dispatched Huang Yucheng to make a detour to Xingyi, pass through Sicheng, and attack the right flank of the Dragon Army. The three-way army of Huang Zixin, Huang Kaituo and Huang Yucheng launched operations at the same time.
Long Jinguang thought that Li Wenfu had a preemptive strike and Huang Zixin to support him in the rear, and he was full of confidence to prepare to capture Tufuzhou, but he did not expect that he suffered a heavy defeat.
Li Liejun.
