Longchuan County is broken!

Wang Shengrong only let the tiger-headed cannons fire once, and a group of people mingled on the south wall of Longchuan County, and the Ming army on the wall had no morale.

The soldiers of the camp rushed to the front of the city gate and exploded the city gate with explosives. The People's Army rushed into the city to clear out all the resistance forces.

Interestingly, most of the Ming soldiers locked outside in front of the city gate expressed their desire to join the People's Army when the People's Army rushed over.

The gentry and merchants who escaped first had a team of thousands of households. The People's Army could no longer catch up. The magistrate's team was intercepted by the People's Army. The People's Army completed the encirclement of Longchuan County, and no one could escape from Longchuan County.

After the First Mixed Brigade captured Longchuan County, it was not until the evening that most of the resistance forces in the city were wiped out, and a small number of resistance forces hid in the mansions of wealthy families or in the homes of ordinary people.

Longchuan County has been taken over, and it is only a matter of time before controlling Longchuan County and controlling the entire territory of Longchuan County. The county government office, Wang Shengrong, Gao Wei, Xiong Jian and others discussed the next action plan of the First Mixed Brigade.

"Longchuan County has been captured by our army. In this battle, most of the Ming army in Heyuan County and Changle County were eliminated by our army. Our army should immediately capture Heyuan County and Changle County, and then control Longchuan, Heyuan and Changle counties." Wang Shengrong said.

"Agree." Hearing Wang Shengrong's words, Gao Wei and Xiong Jian expressed their agreement.

In the following time, Wang Shengrong, Gao Wei, Xiong Jian and others discussed the capture of Heyuan County and Changle County, as well as the control of all areas in the three counties.

Wang Shengrong's hands did not have much force. In today's battle, the number of casualties of the People's Army exceeded 150, mainly in pursuit and siege battles. Fortunately, no one in the firearms unit was sacrificed, only a few were injured or slightly injured.

In order to capture Heyuan County and Changle County, Wang Shengrong needed to divide his troops into three, and some of them remained in Longchuan County. Then, with Longchuan County as the center, control the entire Longchuan County as soon as possible. The other two parts launched an attack on Heyuan County and Changle County, and after taking two county towns, they would control the entire county with the county town as the center.

The troops are divided into three routes, with only about 900 people in each route. It is not a big problem to defend Longchuan County and capture the other two counties. It is quite difficult to control the entire county by this force. The First Mixed Brigade needs support from the rear.

The troops were supported, and the only ones in the rear could support the new recruits who had not been training for a long time. The main force of the People's Army was in Guishan County and confronted the Ming army in Huizhou Prefecture. Hu Zhuang led a force into Chaozhou Prefecture to deal with the Ming army in Chaozhou Prefecture. After capturing the three counties, the First Mixed Brigade was unable to continue to expand.

The new recruits do not have much combat power, but picking up the big sword and spear also has some deterrent effect. Wang Shengrong plans to mobilize at least 1,500 new recruits from the rear to cooperate with the troops' actions and conduct training at the same time.

The capture of three counties is equivalent to the expansion of the territory of the People's Army from the original three counties to six counties. All three counties need to establish a People's Military Government, and personnel need to be mobilized from the rear. Fortunately, the establishment of the People's Military Government of Yong'an County and the People's Military Government of Haifeng County are both in an over-staff state, and there is no problem in transferring personnel to the newly captured counties to establish a People's Military Government.

After leaving that day, Wang Shengrong, Gao Wei, Xiong Jian and others decided on the action plan, Wang Shengrong immediately wrote two letters, one to his teacher Fang Nan and the other to Zhou Lei, reporting on the first mixed brigade's record and action plan, and requesting human support.

The next day, the First Mixed Brigade was divided into three, heading towards Changle County and Heyuan County. At the same time, Wang Shengrong sent cavalry to send two letters back.

In just one day, more than 3,000 Ming troops were defeated, almost wiped out, and Longchuan County fell. This news is still in the area around Longchuan County.

In Guishan County, all senior officers of the People's Army of Fangnan Road stood in front of a map and discussed the location of the Ming army to ambush.

A few days passed, and after the scouts investigated Huizhou Fucheng, it was found that the Ming army stationed in Huizhou Fucheng area had not arrived in addition to the thousands of Ming troops that had been supported by the previous Ming army. It seemed that it would take several days for the main force of the Ming army to arrive at Huizhou Fucheng. The People's Army had enough time to choose the location where the Ming army ambushed the Ming army.

To ambush the Ming army, first of all, the Ming army must pass through a route so that the People's Army can have the possibility of ambushing. Fang Nan didn't know where the Ming army entered Guishan County, so he might advance directly and go around a long distance.

The People's Army was much troublesome to ambush the Ming army when it was a long way to go. If the People's Army wanted to ambush the Ming army, it would be best to choose the official road between Huizhou Prefecture City and Guishan County. After the scouts, multiple places suitable for ambush have been selected. Fang Nan and all senior officers have also visited them in person. Next, let's see how the main force of the Ming army will act.

Compared to his own People's Army's approaching main force of the Ming army, Fang Nan was more worried about Hu Zhuang's People's Army. Hu Zhuang's People's Army had only more than 1,000 people, but it was more difficult to take charge of the Ming army's Chaozhou Guard.

In fact, Fang Nan could give Hu Zhuang more troops, but Fang Nan did not do this because the People's Army needed to continuously expand its territory to resist the Ming army that was constantly encircling and suppressing it.

After the Fangnanyi Route People's Army captured Guishan County, it was unable to undertake the task of expansion. Chaozhou Prefecture had Chaozhou Guards, and there were only three thousand households of Huizhou Guards in the north of Yong'an County. The troops were much less than Chaozhou Guards, which were more suitable for the current expansion of the People's Army's territory.

Therefore, Fang Nan did not draw some troops from the First Mixed Brigade to Hu Zhuang, but instead asked the First Mixed Brigade to deal with the Ming army in the north of Yong'an County, looking for opportunities to capture several northern counties and expand the territory of the People's Army. The population of the People's Army also increased rapidly under the rule of the People's Army, and more new recruits could be recruited.

Wang Shengrong's letter was still on the way, and Fang Nan didn't know that the First Mixed Brigade had captured Longchuan County and destroyed most of the Ming army in Longchuan, Heyuan and Changle counties. It was only a matter of time before it could be captured Heyuan County and Changle County.

The battle between the People's Army of Fangnan and the main force of the Ming army may only start for six or seven days. After the battle of the First Mixed Brigade, the People's Army of Hu Zhuang and the People's Army of Chaozhou Prefecture also fought with the Ming army.

The combat effectiveness of the People's Army of Hu Zhuang and All Routes was not the tentative attacks on the county towns as before, but the People's Army of Hu Zhuang and All Routes were encircled and suppressed by Chaozhou Guards when they fought guerrillas in Huilai County and Puning County in Chaozhou Prefecture.

The Chaozhou Guard had already received the order from General Ren Jianxiu to encircle the People's Army from the east. Now it was discovered that the People's Army was operating in Chaozhou Prefecture, and soon mobilized more than 2,000 troops to encircle and suppress the People's Army along Hu Zhuang.
