"Teacher, the Ming army has fled. Are we going to go out of the city to pursue?" He Yan asked.

Fang Nan shook his head and replied: "Don't chase the enemy. The enemy still has a cavalry in the dark. If the firearms troops are not prepared in time, they will be defeated by this cavalry."

"I see."

Outside the city, the Ming army was fleeing backwards frantically. On the city wall, the People's Armed Forces continued to pour lead and solid artillery shells onto the fleeing Ming army.

When charging towards Guishan County, nearly 3,000 Ming troops had already fallen, escaped from the range of firearms, and more Ming troops had fallen!

The army was defeated so much that Ren Jianxiu could no longer stop it. He even wanted to retreat first when the defeated army fled back to avoid being hit by the defeated army.

"Just fail like this? No! I still have a chance, damn rioters, hurry up and chase them out, my cavalry will crush you."

Anger, regret, resentment, Ren Jianxiu's expression was constantly changing.

Ren Jianxiu was expecting the People's Army to chase out of the city, but Ren Jianxiu was soon disappointed. The People's Army did not chase out of the city, only the firearms on the city walls were constantly spraying people-eating ammunition, knocking down one escaped Ming soldiers from behind.

"Why don't you chase after the damn rioters? Why don't you chase after them?"

Ren Jianxiu had lost his calmness. The Ming army was defeated. As the general of the army, Ren Jianxiu was very guilty. If he could not explain the strength of the People's Army to the Governor, Ren Jianxiu would probably have a dead end.

The defeated Ming army had gone far away. Fang Nan sent scouts riding horses to investigate the movements of the defeated army, and sent cold weapons troops out of the city to clean the battlefield.

The Ming army that fell on the battlefield may have more than 6,000. If it is not cleared quickly, it is easy to break out. The plague broke out in this era, almost dead and dead, and it is very terrible.

Several People's Army soldiers walked carefully towards the "corpse" of the Ming army with spears. When they encountered the corpse, they would stab it with the spear first. It would be best if they died thoroughly. They would have the breath left to help them end the pain. The most feared thing was that there was a living Ming army in uniform and a knife that was the People's Army soldiers who came over.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I have old and young people, and the whole family is waiting for me to support..."

Seeing the People's Army soldiers stabbing them with their spears, a Ming soldier pretending to be dead jumped up not far away, and then knelt on the ground and cried and begged for mercy to the People's Army soldiers.

"Don't cry, as long as you have never done evil before, our People's Army will not kill people easily. Stand up and follow me." A People's Army soldier used a spear to force Ming soldiers who were pretending to be dead to gather at a certain location.

There were still many Ming soldiers pretending to be dead like this on the battlefield. The main reason was that the People's Army's firearms were too sharp. The Ming soldiers running behind knew that they could not escape, so they lay directly on the ground and used their colleagues' bodies as "shields". Many people survived by chance.

The scouts who went to investigate the defeated Ming army came back and reported to Fang Nan that the Ming army had fled to Huizhou Prefecture City. Upon hearing this news, Fang Nan finally smiled.

The Ming army could not continue to fight, but no one knew that the People's Army could not continue to fight. The People's Army did not pursue the defeated Ming army, not only because of the Ming cavalry, but also the People's Army's firearms.

The People's Arms Firearms Unit is equipped with the most advanced musket in this era - the tiger-headed rifle. With the tiger-headed rifle, the People's Army is invincible.

However, the People's Army has poor technology in building tiger-headed rifles. As a rifle, the number of times the tiger-headed rifles is shot is very limited. After several battles, the barrel rifle is about to be smoothed.

The rifle is smoothed, and the tiger head gun can still be used, but the shooting accuracy and range have a great impact. In order to restore the combat effectiveness of the firearm troops, it is necessary to pull the rifle of the tiger head gun barrel again as soon as possible.

Fortunately, compared with building a gun barrel, the work of re-rived rifling is easier. If it is faster, it only takes a few days (in Hutouzhai) to restore combat effectiveness by the firearms troops of the People's Army of Fangnan, the entire route.

In addition, with the blacksmiths and carpenters gathered in the six counties under the rule of the People's Army, the output of tiger-head spears continued to rise.

From now on, in thirty days, Hutouzhai will be able to build at least one hundred tiger-headed guns. As craftsman Mu skillfully creates tiger-headed guns, the output will continue to rise rapidly.

Next, the firearms troops can be expanded into one company every month. In less than a few months, the firearms troops may be expanded into two companies every month. That is when the strength of the People's Army is breaking out.

...

The battle between the People's Army and the Ming Army in Guishan County had a great impact on the residents in the city. Guns and guns were fired on the city walls. When the guns and guns were heard, many ordinary people hid at home and shivered, fearing that they were implicated by the war.

In a certain mansion, the only remaining "masters" in Guishan County were full of excitement.

"It's the imperial army that is sieging the city. It's great that these thieves will be wiped out by the imperial army."

"Everyone prepares some gold and silver. When the imperial army eliminates the thieves, we will go to work hard."

"Just just chaotic people, how could it be the opponent of the imperial court against the army?"

Several masters were talking excitedly, guessing when the imperial army would be able to break the city and how many thieves would be killed.

When the Ming army retreated and the People's Army ceased fire, several masters only thought it was the imperial army's siege technology and would soon carry out the next wave of siege.

However, half an hour passed, and the masters did not hear the second wave of the imperial army siege again. Instead, they heard shocking news that the imperial army was defeated by the People's Army and more than 6,000 were killed or injured.

"How could the imperial army be defeated by these thieves?"

"Are the thief so strong?"

"The imperial army only underestimated the enemy for a moment, and soon mobilized more troops to eliminate the thieves. We must believe in the imperial court."

The People's Army won many victories, but the few remaining masters in Guishan County did not change their mindset. They still believed that the Ming army would achieve the final victory and wipe out the People's Army.

This mentality is very normal for gentry and merchants. Ordinary people have little knowledge and do not know how powerful the Ming Dynasty was, nor do they care how powerful the Ming Dynasty was, but gentry and merchants know how powerful the Ming Dynasty was.

Even if the territory of the People's Army has reached six counties and the population under its rule of 500,000 is still very far from that of the Ming Dynasty.

With such a huge gap, the gentry and merchants naturally believed that the Ming army would wipe out the People's Army.

However, when the People's Army will occupy a prefecture, a province, and continue to defeat the invading Ming army, some gentry and merchants will change their mindset and will no longer think that the Ming army will definitely wipe out the People's Army, or even actively integrate into the rule of the People's Army.

Fang Nan didn't care about the integration of the gentry and merchants. These gentry and merchants remained under the rule of the People's Army just because they had never done any evil, and Fang Nan was unwilling to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
