Chapter 292: Battle Situation

In just six or seven minutes, nearly 1,000 grenades have been ejected by the grenadiers of the People's Army onto the city wall guarded by the Ming army, and nearly 1,000 grenades exploded on the city wall.

The siege vehicle continued to advance, and the loss of the KPA musketeers and grenadiers on the siege vehicle was ready for the next wave of attacks, until the siege vehicle approached the city wall, and a long wooden plank connected the top of the siege vehicle with the southern wall of Baoqing Province, and hundreds of thousands of KPA soldiers climbed the city wall through the siege vehicle.

At the moment when the People's Army climbed the city wall, a large number of Ming troops rushed out of the stairs, brandishing broadswords and spears and rushing towards the People's Army, trying to kill the People's Army back.

The KPA soldiers who climbed the city wall quickly prepared for battle, with the first soldier holding their shields in front and the grenadiers holding grenades behind, ready to light the grenades and throw them at any time.

The Ming army is getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of grenades flew out from the People's Army, smashing into the columns of the Ming army that rushed over.

The soldiers advanced first, the grenadiers cleared the enemy, and in just a few minutes, the Ming army that rushed to the city wall was killed by the people's army.

The KPA is advancing under the city! The KPA is advancing towards the walls of the east and west!

The Ming army is retreating! The Ming army has no way to resist the power of the People's Army!

The army under his command continued to be defeated and retreated, Li Zhengmao finally gave up, and ordered the Ming army in the northern half of Baoqing Mansion to start withdrawing from the city first, and the Ming army in the southern half of the city was chased and beaten by the People's Army all the way.

Only a little more than an hour passed since the People's Army launched an attack on Baoqing Fucheng, Li Zhengmao left Baoqing Fucheng with more than 50,000 men and retreated to the north.

Looking at Li Zhengmao's army in the distance, Xiong Jian did not order the pursuit, Xiong Jian was ready to continue the battle plan set before the battle, and steadily occupy the entire Huguang.

Xiong Jian suspected that after the end of this battle, Li Zhengmao's army would not dare to fight the People's Army again in a short time.

100,000 troops guarded Baoqing Fucheng, and finally fled north with only more than 50,000 horses, and more than 40,000 horses were left in Baoqing Fucheng by the People's Army.

Li Zhengmao guessed that even if he placed more than 100,000 men and horses under his command in Baoqing Fucheng, it was very likely that he would not be able to defeat the People's Army, and the sharpness of the People's Army's firearms was unforgettable for a lifetime, and what was even more amazing was that the People's Army actually threw grenades from a place dozens of meters away.

Li Zhengmao now understands why the more powerful Li Chengliang's army was easily defeated by the People's Army.

"Who else in the Ming Dynasty can resist the thieves?" Li Zhengmao asked himself a question in his mind, but he couldn't find an answer for a long time.

In the past few years, Song Yingchang, Mei Yousong and even Li Chengliang were all the talents of the generals in the Ming Dynasty, and I am afraid that before I would have to count the generals of Qi, but now they are all dead, and for the time being, the Ming Dynasty has not been able to find anyone to take over their class, Li Zhengmao asked himself if he could not catch up with these generals.

Riding on a war horse, Li Zhengmao's thoughts seem to have crossed the sky and looked down on the entire land of China, perhaps it will not be long before the People's Army from Guangdong will sweep the entire land of China, no one is invincible, no one can stop, the Ming Dynasty will rule for hundreds of years and the People's Army.

After a while, Li Zhengmao came back to his senses, and shook his head helplessly, those things still need some time, and there is a more important thing in front of him, with more than 100,000 troops under his command, but he is defeated by 50,000 people's army, and he is chased and beaten by the people's army, and he knows that he will be questioned by the court without thinking about it.

More than 40,000 horses were eaten by the People's Army, at least half of them, and there were 90,000 horses under his command combined, which was Li Zhengmao's capital, as long as he held this army tightly, even if he was not inferior to the People's Army, the imperial court would not be able to attack him.

It's really not good to lead the army to join the People's Army, such a big achievement, even if he Li Zhengmao is wrong, the People's Army will not kill him.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Li Zhengmao had already determined the next plan in his mind, with 90,000 men and horses under his command staying in the northern part of Huguang first, and the People's Army advancing, and his own retreat, he would not be able to defeat the People's Army anyway, so he would not give the People's Army a chance to consume his own troops, and he would have to retreat all the time.

……

The battle between Xiong Jian's army and Li Zhengmao's army ended, ending with the defeat and retreat of Li Zhengmao's army, and two days later, the People's Army fought a major battle with the Ming Army's Zheng Yuwen Department and Tang Qi Department in Fujian and Guangxi.

Even the city of Fuzhou, with its tall and strong walls, could not stop the advance of the people's army, but the second group army of the People's Army led by Yan Han killed and wounded thousands of people in order to capture the city of Fuzhou.

However, the Guangxi battlefield was different from other battlefields, Tang Qi led an army of 50,000 to attack a division of the People's Army, this division fought and retreated, and other units of the Third Army quickly rushed to support, only to defeat the 50,000 Ming army, for which the People's Army also suffered thousands of casualties.

On the battlefield in Jiangxi, thanks to the defeat of Li Chengliang's division of the Ming army first, the main force of the First Group Army of the People's Army led by Wang Shengrong quickly attacked the city in Jiangxi, and now half of Jiangxi has been brought under the rule of the People's Army, and it is getting closer and closer to Nanchang Mansion, the core of Jiangxi.

As the People's Army got closer and closer to Nanchang Mansion and a new war was about to break out in Jiangxi, the intelligence sent back by the agents of the Military Intelligence Department let Wang Shengrong know that the Ming Court had assembled a large army in Nanchang City and was preparing to hold Nanchang City.

Wang Shengrong was not too worried about this, most of the Ming troops gathered in Nanchang City were the rout of Li Chengliang's army, and the morale was low, and the Ming army stationed in Nanchang City was expected to be only about 100,000, far from being able to compare with Li Chengliang's army at its peak.

Li Chengliang's 500,000 troops were defeated by Wang Shengrong's army, and Nanchang City, which was guarded by 100,000 morale-demoralized Ming troops, was easier to fight than Li Chengliang's army.

The various units of the People's Army attacked the city, and officials of the People's Army Government came to the newly occupied cities of the People's Army one after another, established the People's Army Government, pacified the people under their rule, and began to govern the area.

As the distance from Guangdong became farther and farther away, many ordinary people had a deep prejudice against the People's Army, believing that the People's Army was a demon that devoured people, and they would run away when they saw the People's Army, and they did not dare to speak to the People's Army at all.

The People's Army, on the other hand, showed itself with practical actions, and the common people gradually became more accepting of the People's Army, and spring plowing was about to begin, and under the rule of the People's Army, they had their own fields, and no matter how ignorant the people were, they understood the goodness of the People's Army.
