"Your ministry's mission is to take down the entire Shaozhou Mansion."

Before leaving Xiong Jian's place, Fang Nan gave Xiong Jian's People's Army a task, which was to take Shaozhou Mansion, and the People's Army pursued this Ming army from Huguang to enter the territory of Shaozhou Mansion, just by the way to capture the entire Shaozhou Mansion.

Shaozhou Mansion is not a coastal state capital, the entire Shaozhou Mansion except for the Hu Guangming Army is not much, Xiong Jian 1st Road People's Army and Hu Guangming Army fought for three days, and there were many casualties, but with the current strength of Xiong Jian's 1st Road People's Army, it is enough to take Shaozhou Mansion.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Xiong Jian said.

Giving the task to Xiong Jian, Fang Nan led the team to continue to advance to support Wang Shengrong's People's Army.

Just when Xiong Jian's People's Army defeated Hu Guangming's army, a skirmish also broke out in Boluo County.

He Yan led the Third Mixed Brigade to pass through Boluo County, the situation in Boluo County was similar to that of Huizhou Prefecture, there was a rout of Guo Mian's army and fled to Boluo County, and then the officials, gentry and businessmen, and most of the Ming army in Boluo County fled.

The defensive strength of Boluo County was very weak, and the 3rd Mixed Brigade easily captured Boluo County, and the army continued to advance, aiming directly at Guangzhou City.

……

"The officers and troops have been defeated again?"

Guishan County Sun Mansion, the head of the Sun family heard the news that the guards brought back from outside, and sat directly on the chair, his mind was in chaos.

Originally, the head of the Sun family lived in the manor outside the city most of the time, but with the news of the rebellion of the rebellious people in Haifeng County, the head of the Sun family was worried that the rebellious people would return to Guishan County, so he took his family to live in Guishan County.

There are wealthy gentry and businessmen in Guishan County who are worried that the chaotic people will come, and even break through the county seat, and flee to Huizhou Mansion with their families.

Unexpectedly, the head of the Sun family would not be able to leave, and the People's Army captured Guishan County, and the entire Guishan County changed greatly, because the People's Army bought the Sun family's farmland at a low price, abolished the deed of sale of slaves, and other things, so that the Sun family master had a very bad sense of the People's Army, and the Sun family owner hoped that the official army could exterminate the People's Army as soon as possible.

Soon, the Ming army launched the first encirclement and suppression of the People's Army, Ren Jianxiu led the army from the west, the head of the Sun family and other wealthy gentry and businessmen who were not raided were full of expectations to see the scene of the official army exterminating the People's Army, but they did not expect that the official army was defeated, and the 15,000 official army was defeated like this.

The Ming army was defeated in the first encirclement and suppression, and the head of the Sun family could only comfort himself that the Ming army was underestimating the enemy, and the next time the imperial court would send more soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress the people's army, the people's army would definitely be wiped out, and the head of the Sun family would return to his previous life.

Finally, the head of the Sun family waited until the second encirclement and suppression of the people's army by the imperial court, this time the court really sent more troops to come, the head of the Sun family thought that this time the official army would definitely wipe out the people's army, and the head of the Sun family was preparing to wait for the official army to recover and return to the county town to work the army.

But now, the head of the Sun family got the news that the official army was defeated by the people's army again, and the head of the Sun family felt as if the sky had fallen.

"Why did the officers and troops fail? How did you lose? Could it be that the People's Army can really overthrow the imperial court? No, no, the imperial court is so powerful, a million army, the people's army will definitely not be the opponent of the imperial court, this time it will definitely be a light enemy of the official army, the next time the imperial court will send hundreds of thousands of troops to exterminate the people's army, and the next time it will definitely win! ”

Other wealthy gentry and businessmen in Guishan County also thought the same, only a few people had smiles on their faces, they had already had the idea of joining the People's Army in their hearts, but they were worried that the People's Army would be exterminated by the official army, and they could not make a decision easily.

Now that the official army has been defeated again, they feel that the People's Army has the possibility of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, and this is a good opportunity for speculation, once the People's Army succeeds in overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, the first batch of people who defect to the People's Army will definitely make a lot of money.

It's just that they never thought about it, and whether the KPA accepts them or not is an important issue.

By the end of December 15, the entire Huizhou Prefecture had almost been occupied by the People's Army, and there was no large Ming army in the territory, and the Ming Dynasty encircled and suppressed the People's Army for the second time, as the main force of the Guangdong Ming Army, followed by the Huguang Ming Army and the Fujian Ming Army, all of which had been defeated by the People's Army, and only the Jiangxi Ming Army was still confronting the People's Army along the way.

After the KPA defeated the Ming armies, the KPA had already begun to expand on a large scale.

He Yan's Third Mixed Brigade successively captured Huizhou Prefecture and Boluo County, and was about to enter Guangzhou Prefecture; The 1st Mixed Brigade led by Xiong Jian has entered the territory of Shaozhou Mansion and is chasing and killing the fleeing Hu Guangming Army; Hu Zhuang's Second Mixed Brigade had already captured Jieyang County and was about to march to the capital of Chaozhou.

This time the People's Army's target will be the whole of Guangdong.

On December 16, near noon, Xiong Jian's People's Army broke through the county seat of Wengyuan, the capital of Shaozhou; In the afternoon, Hu Zhuang led the 2nd Mixed Brigade to Chaozhou Fucheng, surrounded Chaozhou Fucheng, and carried out artillery bombardment; Towards evening, the news of the rout of Guo Rong's army was sent to the city of Guangzhou.

"Guo Mian is defeated?"

Hearing the news, Wu Wenhua only felt that his eyes were about to faint as soon as his eyes were black, but he finally persevered and did not faint.

"Why did Guo Mian lose? What about Guo Mianren? Wu Wenhua asked with a low roar.

"The chief soldier was killed by the thief's demon spell, and the army was ownerless and defeated by the thief army."

"Killed by a thief's spell? I don't believe it, how could Guo Mian be killed in such a ridiculous way, haha. Wu Wenhua was laughed at angrily, he has lived for so many years, and it is the first time he knows that there is a demon law, he doesn't believe that there is a demon law!

In any case, Guo Mian's army was defeated, there were few survivors, the thief army was advancing towards Guangzhou City, Guangzhou City was in danger, and the most important thing Wu Wenhua needed to do now was to deploy troops to defend Guangzhou City.

However, most of the Ming troops stationed in Guangzhou had already been transferred away during the two encirclement and suppression of the People's Army, and the number of Ming troops in the entire Guangzhou Prefecture was less than 10,000, and the defenders of Guangzhou City were only more than 6,000.

With 6,000 Ming troops, they could not hold the city of Guangzhou, and the People's Army continued to approach the city of Guangzhou, and it was too late to transfer troops from other places.

The transfer of troops and generals has to be dispatched, and the Guangzhou City side resists the People's Army for some time, and when the follow-up support for the Ming army arrives, Guangzhou City can be defended, and it is even possible to exterminate the People's Army attacking Guangzhou City.

In addition, the news of "Guo Rong's army was defeated and the thief army was coming" had spread in Guangzhou City, and the magnates who were afraid that Guangzhou City would be breached wanted to leave Guangzhou City.

But Wu Wenhua did not allow it, the gate of Guangzhou City was closed, and no one was allowed to leave Guangzhou City without his Wu Wenhua's order, no matter how others begged or scolded, Wu Wenhua was unmoved, and resolutely wanted to hold Guangzhou City.
