"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: "Poor Kou Mo chase, the enemy still has a cavalry in the shadows, and if the firearms unit is not prepared in time, it will also be defeated by this cavalry." ”

"I see."

Outside the city, the Ming army fled frantically backwards, and on the city walls, the People's Army firearms units continued to pour lead bullets and solid shells on the fleeing Ming troops.

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

The army was defeated like this, Ren Jianxiu was no longer able to stop it, and even had to retreat first when the rout army fled back, so as not to be hit by the rout.

"Just a failure? No! I still have a chance, damn rebels, chase it out, chase it out, my cavalry will crush you. ”

Anger, regret, resentment, Ren Jianxiu's face kept changing.

Ren Jianxiu was expecting the People's Army to chase him out of the city, but soon Ren Jianxiu was disappointed, the People's Army did not chase out of the city, only the firearms on the city wall were constantly spraying devouring ammunition, knocking down one after another fleeing Ming soldiers from behind.

"Damn the rebels, why don't you chase them out? Why not chase it out? ”

Ren Jianxiu has lost his cool, the Ming army was defeated, as a general of the unified army, Ren Jianxiu's sin is very big, if he can't explain to the governor the strength of the people's army, Ren Jianxiu is afraid that there is only a dead end.

The defeated Ming army was already far away, and Fang Nan sent scouts on horseback to reconnoiter the movements of the rout, and sent cold weapons troops out of the city to clean up the battlefield.

The Ming army that fell on the battlefield may exceed 6,000, if you don't clean it up quickly, it is easy to break out of the plague, and the outbreak of plague in this era is almost a dead city, which is very terrible.

Several People's Army soldiers cautiously walked towards the "corpse" of the Ming army with spears in hand, and when they encountered the corpse, they would first stab them with spears, and it was best to die thoroughly, and those who still had breath left directly helped them end the pain, and the most feared thing was that there were living Ming soldiers pretending to be dead and giving the People's Army soldiers who came over a knife.

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

Seeing the KPA soldier stabbing directly with a spear, a Ming soldier who pretended to be dead not far away jumped up directly, and then knelt on the ground and cried and begged the KPA soldier for mercy.

"Don't cry, as long as you haven't done evil before, our People's Army will not kill people easily, stand up and follow me." A KPA soldier used a spear to force a Ming soldier who was pretending to be dead to assemble at a certain location.

There are still many Ming soldiers who pretend to be dead like this, mainly because the firearms of the People's Army are too sharp, and the Ming soldiers who ran behind knew that they couldn't run away, so they directly lay on the ground and used the bodies of their colleagues as "shields", and many people survived by luck.

The scouts who went to investigate the rout of the Ming army came back and reported the news of "the Ming army fled in the direction of Huizhou Fucheng" to Fang Nan, and when he heard the news, Fang Nan finally smiled.

The Ming army could not fight, but the People's Army was about to be unable to fight, and the People's Army did not pursue the defeated Ming Army not only because of the cavalry of the Ming Army, but also because of the problem of the People's Army's firearms unit.

The People's Army's firearms unit is equipped with the most advanced musket of this era, the tiger head gun, and with the tiger head gun, the People's Army is invincible.

However, the People's Army's technology in building tiger head guns is relatively poor, as rifled guns, tiger head guns have very limited number of shots, and after several battles, the rifling of the barrel is almost smoothed.

The rifling is smoothed, and the tiger head gun can still be used, but the shooting accuracy and range have a great impact, and in order to restore the combat effectiveness of the firearms unit, it is necessary to re-draw the rifling of the barrel of the tiger head gun as soon as possible.

Fortunately, compared with building a barrel, the work of rerifling is easier, and if it is faster, it only takes a few days (in Hutou Village) for the firearms unit of the Fangnan 1st Road People's Army to regain its combat effectiveness.

In addition, as blacksmiths and carpenters from the six counties under the rule of the People's Army gathered in Hutou Village, the production of tiger head guns continued to rise.

From now on, in thirty days, Hutou Village will be able to produce at least 100 tiger head guns, and with the memory of craftsmen and craftsmen skillfully crafting tiger head guns, production will continue to rise rapidly.

In the next month, the firearms unit will be able to expand by one company, and in a few months, the firearms unit may be able to expand by two companies every month, and that is when the strength of the People's Army is exploding.

……

The battle between the People's Army and the Ming Army in Guishan County had a great impact on the residents of the city, and the guns and cannons on the city wall rang out, and when they heard the sound of guns, many people hid in their homes and shivered, fearing that they would be implicated in the war.

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

"It's the imperial army attacking the city, great, these thieves are about to be exterminated by the imperial army."

"Everyone prepares some gold and silver, and when the imperial army exterminates the thieves, we will go to the labor army."

"It's just a chaotic people, how can it be the opponent of the imperial court's army?"

Several lords talked excitedly, guessing when the imperial army would be able to break through the city, and guessing how many thieves would be killed.

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

However, half an hour passed, and the old men did not hear the second wave of the imperial army attacking the city, but instead came the shocking news that 12,000 imperial troops were defeated by the people's army, with more than 6,000 dead and wounded.

"How could the imperial army be defeated by this group of thieves?"

"Are thieves so strong?"

"The imperial court army is only a temporary light enemy, and it will soon be able to mobilize more troops to exterminate the thieves, we must believe in the imperial court."

The People's Army's many victories did not make the few remaining lords in Guishan County change their mentality, and still believed that the Ming Dynasty army would achieve the final victory and annihilate the People's Army.

This kind of mentality is a very normal thing for the gentry and merchants, ordinary people have little knowledge, they don't know how powerful the Ming Dynasty is, and they don't care how powerful the Ming Dynasty is, but the gentry and businessmen know how powerful the Ming Dynasty is.

Even if the territory under the rule of the People's Army has reached six counties, with a population of 500,000, it is still far from the Ming Dynasty.

With such a huge disparity, the gentry and businessmen naturally firmly believed that the Ming army would exterminate the people's army.

However, when the People's Army occupies a prefecture and a province in the future, and constantly defeats the attacking Ming army, some wealthy gentry and businessmen will change their mentality, and will no longer think that the Ming Army will definitely exterminate the People's Army, and even take the initiative to integrate into the rule of the People's Army.

Fang Nan didn't care about the integration of the gentry and businessmen, these gentry and businessmen stayed under the rule of the People's Army just because they had not done evil, and Fang Nan was unwilling to kill innocents indiscriminately.

Of course, if there are wealthy gentry and businessmen who have fornicated with the enemy, once they are discovered, they will be dealt with directly.
