The People's Army could not watch the Ming army assemble in the border area, and perhaps the Ming army that had completed the assembly would march to Guangdong.

In this case, the KPA took the lead in launching an offensive against the Ming army.

This attack was not a large-scale attack, but rather an assault, with firearms units and cavalry units as the mainstay, cavalry units acting alone, and firearms units and advance troops and cold weapons units acting together, with a roughly 2:1:1 ratio of the number of the three

It is just that the Ming army is attacked and disturbed, and it is not necessary to mobilize large troops, and it is not easy to hide when mobilizing large troops.

The People's Army carrying out the task of harassment entered the territory of Guangxi, launched a sneak attack on a small group of Ming troops, and tried to eat them directly, if they could not find a small group of Ming troops, they would also launch an attack on the Ming army in large groups, basically retreating after a few rounds of long-range attacks with muskets and bows and arrows, and the Ming army brought some casualties.

The number of Ming soldiers killed and wounded at one time may not be large, but after many raids, the number of Ming troops killed and wounded has increased, and the number of casualties of the KPA who attacked and harassed the mission on their own is very small.

In the face of the elusive People's Army, except for the elite troops of the Ming Army, other Ming troops were easily frightened by the People's Army, and they even did not dare to go out of the city on weekdays.

There were more than 5,000 Ming troops in Wuzhou Prefecture, but they all stayed in Wuzhou Prefecture and almost did not dare to go out of the city, fearing that they would be attacked by the People's Army after leaving the city.

There were fewer and fewer opportunities for the People's Army to attack and harass the Ming Army, but the People's Army's strategy was also successful, so that the Ming Army did not dare to act rashly.

Even if they can't find a chance to attack, the People's Army will often go out, using tiger head cannons to fire a few shots at the city from a distance to scare and scare the Ming army in the city.

The frightened Ming army, knowing that the shells would not hit them, hid and whispered.

"The thieves are so fierce that we don't even dare to go out of the city."

"It's lucky to be able to hide in the city, a few days ago, our team was suddenly attacked by thieves, and my brother who came out was killed directly, and I was lucky to escape."

"Alas, why were we drawn and transferred, it's really unlucky."

"Hehe, those adults know the strength of thieves, those with background and money all try to stay, all adults with no background and no money have been transferred, we little soldiers just look at which adult to follow, and those who follow the adults who have no money and no background can only consider themselves unlucky."

"But I heard that the lives of the common people under the rule of thieves are very good, each family is given four acres of land, four acres for adults, two acres for children, if we join the army, we will be given ten acres directly, if we join the thieves, how much land can we get, the family will definitely not have a hungry time."

"Shh, I dare to say this, look for death, the thief's side is good, but it is definitely not our opponent, when the time comes, hundreds of thousands of troops will come over and directly exterminate all the thieves."

"I think that the thief can destroy the Ming Dynasty, so that everyone can live a good life, every time the salary is so much less, the family is about to go hungry, when is this day a head, and now I have to worry about being killed by the thief."

"Who made us just small soldiers, if we become big officials, we don't have to worry about this and that, who would dare to deduct our salary."

……

The salaries of the Ming army were deducted layer by layer, this is the status quo of most Ming troops, but as long as they can survive, the soldiers of the Ming army, who understand the powerful Ming army, will easily not have the idea of rebellion, unless they really can't survive.

The Ming army on the Guangxi side was attacked and harassed by the people's army, and the Ming army in Huguang, Jiangxi, and Fujian were all attacked and harassed by the people's army.

However, as more Ming troops gathered, it might embolden the Ming army to launch a tentative attack on the People's Army.

The Ming army is constantly converging, and the People's Army only needs to hold out for a month, and the first batch of recruits will complete a month-long military training and officially enter the battle sequence, and then the various units of the People's Army will have enough troops to arrive at the Ming Army, and seeing the increase in the strength of the People's Army, it is expected that the Ming Army will continue to wait.

On the other side, after a long journey, Song Yingchang, the right attendant of the military department who was responsible for leading the southern armies to encircle and suppress the People's Army, finally came to Jinling City.

As soon as he arrived in Jinling City, Song Yingchang was anxious to check the latest movements of the People's Army, and was relieved to see that most of the People's Army was cowering in Guangdong, and only a small part of the People's Army had entered various places to attack and harass the Ming Army.

In Song Yingchang's view, if the People's Army marches into Jiangxi and Huguang, where the number of troops is relatively small, it will be difficult to stop the People's Army, and then the People's Army will bring chaos to more places.

Now knowing that most of the People's Army is cowering in Guangdong, Song Yingchang is relieved that what he feared most did not happen.

However, the People's Army retreated in Guangdong, but Song Yingchang had more thoughts in his heart, according to intelligence, Song Yingchang saw that the People's Army was very different, very different from the previous anti-thieves.

After the success of other anti-thieves in the early stage, they will expand rapidly, and the People's Army will stop after occupying a place in Guangdong, of course, the anti-thieves who can occupy such a large territory are still relatively rare after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.

What is the People's Army doing after the occupation of Guangdong, it is raiding the big families that bully the common people, distributing land to the common people, and eliminating bandits.

These are not ordinary thieves can do, Song Yingchang can feel that the People's Army will soon win the hearts of the people by doing this, and those ordinary people who should be oriented to the Ming Dynasty will turn to support the People's Army, and the People's Army can easily recruit a large number of recruits.

This is a big bad thing for the Ming army, thinking of these contents, Song Yingchang is full of seriousness, the more information about the People's Army, the more Song Yingchang is worried about the People's Army, the People's Army has become an unprecedented enemy of the Ming Dynasty, if the People's Army cannot be eliminated this time, the People's Army will be completely bigger.

"No, no, I will definitely exterminate the thieves." Song Yingchang removed the bad thought in his heart.

In the face of the rapid increase in the strength of the People's Army, Song Yingchang knew that time became the most critical thing, the longer the time dragged on, the more troops of the People's Army would be, although the new recruits were fighting rifles, but when the number reached a certain level, it would directly drown the Ming Army.

After a long journey to Jinling City, Song Yingchang had no time to rest, so a military order was issued, and he seized the time to mobilize the Ming army from all over the country, and asked all places to prepare grain and grass to supply the passing Ming army.

Song Yingchang planned to stay in Jinling City for only a few days before rushing to the front line, and only when he arrived at the front line could he get the latest movements of the People's Army more quickly, so that he could immediately make various arrangements, Jinling City was still too far away from Guangdong, and it would take too much time to transmit information.
