Chapter 102 Uneasy
During the chaos, the Ming soldiers fled in scattered, but the shouts of killing were mainly at the right rear of the barracks. The Ming soldiers would not be dizzy and ran to the place with the loudest sound, and what was greeted was the lead bullets fired by the People's Armed Forces.
Seeing that the Ming army was unable to restore the chaotic barracks to peace, the generals of the Ming army had no choice but to leave the barracks under the protection of their personal guards and retreat in one direction.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn the rioters!" The generals of the Ming army were angry, but they had nowhere to vent.
Gradually, no one was injured or slightly injured in the Ming army camp, leaving only the Ming army soldiers who were seriously injured and dying or were unable to escape. The blood of the Ming army soldiers was about to dye the ground in the Ming army camp red.
At this time, Hu Zhuang also led the People's Army to retreat.
When the firearms troops attacked the Ming army camp, Hu Zhuang did not have the idea of rushing into the Ming army camp with the cold weapon troops to completely defeat the Ming army. When the Ming army fled in scattered areas, Hu Zhuang did not have the idea of leading the army to pursue it.
The life of every soldier in the People's Army is precious, and the darkness can easily cause chaos on one's side. Defeating the Ming army will also bring great losses to one's side. Hu Zhuang does not want the lives of the soldiers in the People's Army to lose in this way.
Looking for a place, the People's Army soldiers who were busy in the middle of the night began to rest. The Ming soldiers who fled in the dark were soon tired from running away and found a place to rest.
The day finally came, and the dark night finally left, the scattered Ming army slowly gathered. Some Ming soldiers ran too far to return to the team, and some soldiers fell in the Ming army camp.
When the camp was set up, the Ming army had as many as 2,300 troops, but now there are only about 1,200 people left. Nearly half of the few fell in the camp, either shot by the People's Army's firearms, or hacked to death by their own people.
"withdraw!"
Seeing that there was only this little force left in his hands, and the soldiers could not rest well last night, and now they are still physically and mentally exhausted. Not to mention continuing to pursue the rioters, even the rioters could not reach the counterattack. The generals of the Ming army had no choice but to make this choice, retreat to Huilai County and have a good rest.
In fact, after a short rest, the People's Army of Hu Zhuang and his team set off again and took the initiative to look for the Ming army, but did not find the brigade of Ming army, and only some left behind or separated Ming soldiers.
The Ming army that pursued Hu Zhuang and the People's Army has been crippled. In a short period of time, the Hu Zhuang and the People's Army will not encounter strong opponents and continue to move in Huilai and Puning counties. If you have the chance, try to capture a county town and expand the territory of the People's Army.
The time has come to the seventh day of the October 19th. After the struggle of the First Mixed Brigade, Longchuan County, Heyuan County and Changning County were successively controlled by the People's Army, and the People's Military Governments of the three counties were successively established.
With experience in Yong'an County and Haifeng County, the newly established People's Military Government took action very efficiently and cooperated with the People's Army. The wealthy families who were evil should confiscate their homes, and all the gangsters who bullied the people were arrested. Then they united the people, divided the land and the landlords around them and their dog legs were publicly tried to gain support from the people.
The craftsmen collected by three counties were all escorted to Hutou Village, contributing their own strength to build tiger-headed spears and tiger-headed cannons.
Soon, the People's Army was able to recruit a large number of new recruits from Longchuan County, Heyuan County, Changle County and Guishan County to expand the People's Army's strength.
In the direction of Guishan County, according to the investigation of the scouts, Fang Nan already knew that new Ming troops were constantly appearing in Huizhou Fucheng two days ago. The number of Ming troops in Huizhou Fucheng area exceeded 15,000, which is about four times the strength of the People's Army of Fang Nan Road.
Today, no new Ming army has gathered in Huizhou Prefecture City. Fang Nan speculated that the main force of the Ming army had been assembled. In addition, a large number of Ming army spies approached Guishan County in the past few days and wanted to collect information from the People's Army. Fang Nan understood that the war was coming soon. In the past few days, several troops of the People's Army had been transferred to hide in the mountains and forests to prepare for the next battle.
In Huizhou Prefecture, Ren Jianxiu's expression has never been very good-looking from the defeat of the three thousand Ming troops, to the fall of Longchuan County, and to the fall of Heyuan County and Changle County.
The rioters in front of him were very different from the rioters that Ren Jianxiu had dealt with in the past. Ren Jianxiu did not believe that the rioters did not know that the main force of the Ming army led by him gathered here in Huizhou Prefecture City, preparing to encircle and suppress the rioters, but the rioters captured three counties in the past few days. Ren Jianxiu judged that the main force of the rioters had been scattered, and there were some Guishan County and some of the three northern counties.
"What is the situation? Is the rioters who saw the army that could not reach me and wanted to move to the north? Or after conquering the three northern counties, the rioters quietly transferred the main force to Guishan County?" Ren Jianxiu could not judge this.
If he couldn't judge, Ren Jianxiu didn't plan to continue thinking that the army would set sail tomorrow and head towards Guishan County. No matter how many rioters there were in Guishan County, whether there were any rioters or no rioters, with his 15,000 troops, Ren Jianxiu believed that the rioters would be impossible to stop the army he led, and with absolute strength, he encircled and suppressed all the rioters who were causing chaos in Huizhou Prefecture.
Ren Jianxiu had a bad face. As the prefect of Huizhou Prefecture, Li Yan had even worse face. Huizhou Prefecture has nine counties, including Yong'an County, Haifeng County, Guishan County, Longchuan County, Heyuan County, Changning County, Boluo County, Xingning County and Heping County. Now six counties have been occupied by the People's Army, which means that two-thirds of the area has been occupied under the rule of Huizhou Prefecture.
If Ren Jianxiu hadn't brought the army to the scene, Huizhou Prefecture would have fallen and the entire Huizhou Prefecture would have ended.
Even though the rioters now only occupy six counties, Li Yan's crime is very serious.
It is okay to have a small group of riots under the rule, and even the county town cannot be captured. It is not allowed to dispatch large troops. The county town defenders can easily be used. The people's army that can occupy six counties is not as simple as a small group of riots.
Such a strong rioters will definitely report to the capital, and Li Yan will also be questioned.
When he first learned that there were riots under his rule, Li Yan thought that he might continue to serve as the prefect of Huizhou Prefecture. Now, Li Yan doesn't want to do so anymore, and even dismissal from office is a better ending.
Li Yan only hopes that Ren Jianxiu can eliminate the riots faster. The faster he eliminates his sins, the less he will be.
Li Yan also felt a little uneasy and fear in his heart. The uneasiness came from the People's Army, which had captured six counties and were different from ordinary rioters. He was afraid that Ren Jianxiu could not eliminate the rioters, so Li Yan basically had the ending of "death".
