Chapter 134: The Second Encirclement and Suppression of a Complete Failure
"Big win! Victory! ”
In the office of the central government of the People's Army in Yongan County, Zhou Lei, Ding Wei, Zhao Hong and others who got the news laughed loudly, sweeping away the worries and fears they had for many days before.
As the top level of the People's Army, they are most aware of the danger encountered by the People's Army this time, 60,000 Ming troops are coming, although the People's Army also has 60,000 troops, but most of them are new recruits, this is a difficult battle.
I didn't expect the Third Mixed Brigade to defeat Guo Rong's army, which was the main force of the Ming army, so quickly, and once Guo Rong's army was defeated, the Ming Dynasty's second encirclement and suppression of the People's Army would inevitably end in the victory of the People's Army.
What's more, in the news that came back, it was still an order from Fang Nan, who ordered the central government of the People's Army to prepare and move to Guangzhou City.
This order was even more surprising to everyone, and the capture of Guangzhou City, which is the core of Guangdong, meant that the entire Guangdong would soon fall under the control of the People's Army.
At the beginning, the People's Army only had two counties, and the population under its rule was about 200,000, which was so weak; Soon, the People's Army developed into a single land, with a population of more than 800,000, which was still very weak compared with the Ming Dynasty.
Once the People's Army occupied the whole of Guangdong, with a population of nearly 10 million, it would have enough confidence to fight against the Ming Dynasty, and the People's Army's dream of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty became more realistic.
"Spread the news of our army's great victory, so that the people can rest assured, and we must also be ready to move." After being happy, Zhou Lei said to everyone.
"Okay." "Got it." "Understood. ”
The crowd replied.
Under the propaganda of the People's Army, soon, the people in Yongan County were the first to know the news of the People's Army's victory, and the common people smiled one by one.
After a few months, the people really liked the People's Army, compared with the previous government, the People's Army was too good and too good, they really hoped that the People's Army would always be there, and the hateful government would never come back.
But the common people also know that the People's Army is actually a more powerful anti-thief, and the government will definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress it, and if the People's Army is exterminated by the official army, then the lives of the ordinary people will return to the past, and they live carefully every day.
Now they are very happy to hear the news that the People's Army has once again won a great victory over the official army, and they hope that the People's Army will continue to win and that the government will never come back.
Ordinary people were happy that the People's Army had won a great victory, but most of the few remaining gentry and businessmen in Yongan County couldn't say a word of surprise.
In the past, the official army failed to encircle and suppress the People's Army, and it was regarded as the official army underestimating the enemy, giving the People's Army an opportunity to take advantage of.
After underestimating the enemy, the imperial court will definitely send more officers and troops to encircle and suppress the people's army, this time how can it not underestimate the enemy, the strength of the people's army has risen rapidly, but everyone knows that most of them are recruits recruited in the past few months, and there is not much combat effectiveness.
Why the officers and troops were defeated again, they really couldn't figure it out.
They were unwilling to continue to live under the rule of the People's Army, which was too unbearable for them to be, and in their opinion, the People's Army was very unfriendly to the gentry and merchants, and they had lost their former high status, and even the maids and servants of the family could not beat and scold them at will.
But the official army was defeated again, and they were still under the rule of the People's Army.
"No, it won't, the imperial court is so powerful, the first time it failed, the second time it failed, it will soon mobilize more officials and troops to fight, and when the time comes, hundreds of thousands of troops will come to suppress it, and the people's army will definitely be wiped out by the officials and soldiers!" They can only comfort themselves like this.
On the contrary, a small number of wealthy gentry and businessmen who had the idea of defecting to the People's Army saw another great victory of the People's Army and were about to prepare to take action.
The news of the People's Army's victory over the Ming Army spread rapidly under the rule of the People's Army, and at the same time, the People's Army was still fighting the Ming Army and rapidly expanding its territory.
Chaozhou capital city, with a loud bang, the west gate was blown open by the people's army, the first camp soldiers took the lead, rushed into the city with people, saw the city gate broken by the people's army rushed into the city, the Ming army on the city wall was mixed together, there were those who wanted to escape, there were also those who wanted to surrender, and there were very few Ming troops who wanted to continue to resist.
When the Ming army fled at night in Jieyang County, Cao Yun successfully fled to the Chaozhou capital with more than 1,000 Ming troops, but the morale of the more than 1,000 Ming troops was completely lost, and they were terrified when they saw the People's Army, and even the Ming army with the original Chaozhou capital was also affected.
After the Second Mixed Brigade of the People's Army surrounded the capital city of Chaozhou, it shelled several times every half an hour, so frightened that the Ming army could only hide in the corner, and their morale continued to decline.
More importantly, there will be no reinforcements for the Ming army in the capital of Chaozhou in a short period of time, and the nearest reinforcements will also be in Fujian.
After a night of continuous shelling, at the cost of hundreds of dead and wounded, the 2nd Mixed Brigade successfully blew up the city gate and rushed into the city, and soon captured the entire Chaozhou capital city.
The occupation of the capital city of Chaozhou is only the first step, and then the second mixed brigade will divide into two troops, to the north and south, respectively, to occupy the entire Chaozhou capital.
Before dealing with this Ming army from Fujian, Hu Zhuang led the People's Army and the Ming army in Chaozhou Mansion had fought several battles, and it can be said that after taking the Chaozhou Mansion, there were not many Ming troops in the entire Chaozhou Mansion, and they were simply unable to resist the Second Mixed Brigade to occupy the entire Chaozhou Mansion.
On the other side, in the area bordering Heping County and Dingnan County, after Fang Nan shot Liu Yuanji to death, Wang Shengrong led the People's Army to chase and kill the fleeing Ming army.
At this point, the second encirclement and suppression of the People's Army by the Ming Dynasty was a complete failure, and the Ming Army of all four routes was defeated by the People's Army.
Chasing down this Ming army, whose morale had plummeted, was Wang Shengrong's main task, and after that, Fang Nan also gave Wang Shengrong two tasks.
The first task was to lead the troops to capture the four counties of Dingnan County, Longnan County, Changning County (the same name), and Anyuan County in the north of Heping County, that is, Ganzhou Prefecture in southern Jiangxi.
The second task was to go west to capture Nanxiong Mansion in Guangdong, which was the smallest state capital in Guangdong, with only two counties, and it was relatively easy to take Nanxiong Mansion.
Hu Zhuang's 2nd Mixed Brigade was to occupy eastern Guangdong, Wang Shengrong's 1st Mixed Brigade was to occupy northern Guangdong, He Yan's 3rd Mixed Brigade was to capture central and western Guangdong, and only Zhou Yi's 4th Mixed Brigade was to defend the home.
Fang Nan was a little surprised, and he didn't get the news that the Ming army was attacking from the sea, thinking about it carefully, Fang Nan found that the problem was, the Ming Dynasty sailors mainly fought on the water, and let the sailors fight on land, which was a little difficult for the sailors.
Wu Wenhua thought that the 60,000 Ming army was enough to destroy the people's army, so he did not send a sailor to fight.
