"Report! Guishan County has been defeated by the rioters!"

On the day when the People's Army of Fangnan and the People's Army captured Guishan County, the news spread to Huizhou Prefecture City, which made the officials and other wealthy families living in Huizhou Prefecture City extremely nervous. Guishan County had been captured by the People's Army, and it was Huizhou Prefecture City's turn next.

Adults all know that Guishan County has a weak defensive force, with only a few hundred regular troops, while the regular troops defending Huizhou Fucheng has reached nearly 3,000, but this did not reassure adults. The rioters have captured three county towns. If tens of thousands of rioters come to surround Huizhou Fucheng, perhaps Huizhou Fucheng is in danger of falling.

As long as there is a slight risk, the big men who think their lives are precious are unwilling to stay in Huizhou Prefecture City. After learning that Guishan County was broken, someone chose to leave Huizhou Prefecture City with their families and move to Guangzhou City or other county towns in Guangzhou Prefecture.

Seeing this situation, Li Yan, the current governor of Huizhou Prefecture, did not stop him. While delivering the news that "Guishan County has been broken by rioters and Huizhou Prefecture is in danger" to Guangzhou City, Li Yan also sent some of his family away from Huizhou Prefecture.

A wealthy family can leave Huizhou Prefecture City. It is impossible for ordinary people who have received the news by chance to leave Huizhou Prefecture City. The guards of Huizhou Prefecture City are not weak, with nearly 3,000 Ming troops, including Huizhou Prefecture City defenders and Huizhou Prefecture Headquarters Guards. However, Li Yan felt that there was still a shortage in the face of the rioters who had already broken through three counties with as many as tens of thousands of people.

Like Pan Anping, the magistrate of Guishan County, who had been captured by the People's Army, Li Qi immediately recruited the guards of major families and a large number of young and strong families in the Huizhou Fucheng area. As the defensive force of Huizhou Fucheng, he doubled the defensive force of Huizhou Fucheng in a short time.

However, Li Yan also knew that the temporary recruitment personnel were far less effective than the Ming soldiers on the battlefield, and it would be better to look forward to the imperial army coming soon.

However, two days passed, and the changes surprised Li Yan very much. The people who were mobilized urgently at Huizhou Fucheng were still on the way, and it was expected that it would take another day to arrive. The rioters in Guishan County were only half a day away from Huizhou Fucheng, but no rioters were found around Huizhou Fucheng.

"What's going on?" Li Yan was a little confused.

Shouldn’t the rioters be held in large numbers of ordinary people after occupying a place and continue to attack the next place? Why haven’t they come to Huizhou Prefecture? Such an abnormal situation has made Li Yan feel some concern in his heart and he constantly sends spies to investigate the movements of the rioters.

Li Yan was disappointed, and the People's Army of Fangnan and the whole line did not have the intention to attack Huizhou Fucheng.

The defensive power of Guishan County is very weak, and the People's Army easily took Guishan County. Fang Nan knew that it was difficult for the People's Army to take over Huizhou Prefecture, which is closer to Guishan County. The county was small in size and the city wall was relatively low, and the city wall was high. There were tens of thousands of people living in the city, and there were more guards. Not to mention that the guards of Huizhou Security Headquarters were also there.

The People's Army can break through Huizhou City in a short period of time by relying on the danger of being a tiger-headed gun. The number of casualties and injuries will definitely exceed 1,000, which is a price that the People's Army cannot bear.

After the People's Army captured Guishan County, Fang Nanbian decided to use the dozens of miles between Guishan County and Huizhou Prefecture as the place where the People's Army and the Ming Army fought.

The area between Guishan County and Huizhou Prefecture City is not a large plain. Guangdong is already full of mountains and forests, and there are many places suitable for ambushing. Fangnan sent a large number of scouts to investigate the movements of the Ming army while on-site investigation.

Especially the route from Huizhou Fucheng to Guishan County is the focus of exploration. Fang Nan feels that if the Ming army who came to encircle and suppress the People's Army is not very vigilant, perhaps the People's Army and the Ming army can give the Ming army a surprise before the battle.

In this case, the battlefield between the People's Army and the Ming Army is at most in the western region of Guishan County, and the eastern region may not be implicated. Fangnan sent people to Haifeng County and Yong'an County to mobilize some personnel from these two counties to prepare to form the People's Military Government of Guishan County. The people in the eastern region of Guishan County can already unite.

Some of the landlords and households in Guishan County had fled to Huizhou Prefecture before the People's Army surrounded Guishan County. There were still some landlords and households left. They chose to commit evil deeds and took them to various places in Guishan County for public trial and parade in order to unite the people as soon as possible.

The People's Army of Fangnan Road is progressing smoothly, and the development of the People's Army of Hu Zhuang Road, located in Chaozhou Prefecture is not very good.

Compared with the People's Army of Fangnan, the People's Army of the People's Army of Fangnan, the People's Army of Hu Zhuang, the People's Army of Hu Zhuang, had relatively few troops, with only one thousand people coming forward. As the main force, there was only one company of firearms troops, but the number of people who first entered the battalion increased greatly, and the organization was almost at the level of two companies.

With a thousand troops, he could still easily capture the county towns with only hundreds of Ming troops defending. Hu Zhuang led his troops into Chaozhou Prefecture and had the idea of ​​capturing a county town first.

There are many blacksmiths and carpenters in the county town. Now the People's Army lacks blacksmiths and carpenters. Even if the captured county town cannot occupy it for a long time, just collect a group of blacksmiths and carpenters to take it away, it will be a huge gain for the People's Army.

After the Fangnan People's Army captured Guishan County, it collected a group of blacksmiths and carpenters and had sent troops to Hutou Village.

From Haifeng County to the east, it is the boundary of Huilai County. Hu Zhuang led his troops all the way to Huilai County. When he arrived in front of Henglai County, the gates on all sides of the city were closed, and many figures gathered on the walls, half of whom were Ming soldiers, and half of them were about the guards of the large families and the young and strong recruited. It is estimated that the number of people guarding Henglai County was over 1,000.

The number of enemies is large, and it may even be more powerful than the People's Army along the way, but Hu Zhuang was not afraid. If there were really many Ming troops in Huilai County, it would not be the case that Huilai County's gates are closed all over the four sides, and even the young and strong in worn-out clothes climbed onto the city wall.

Hu Zhuang led his troops to launch a tentative attack on Huilai County.

One company of the firearms troops was originally a platoon of one tiger-head cannon and a total of three tiger-head cannons. Because the artillery companies were all equipped with Folang machine cannons, Hu Zhuang's firearm troops along the way added two tiger-head cannons.

Five tiger-headed cannons first fired twice on the wall of Henglai County. Ten solid shells came, and the people on the wall were relatively inconsistency and soon returned to stability.

Seeing this situation, Hu Zhuang gave up his plan to capture Huilai County. He originally thought that he could attract the Ming army in Huilai County to go out to pursue the city when the troops retreated. Unexpectedly, the gates of Henglai County were closed, and the Ming army guarding the city had no idea of ​​chasing the city.
