On the last day of September, because Guishan County was broken by the People's Army, and the city of Huizhou was in danger, the general soldier Ren Jianxiu personally arrived at the city of Huizhou with a battalion of about 3,000 troops.

The arrival of these 3,000 Ming troops made Li Xi breathe a sigh of relief, although it was only a pioneer battalion arrival, but with the 3,000 Ming troops in Huizhou Mansion and the guards of the young and strong families who were recruited and transferred, the total number of people was nearly 10,000, even if tens of thousands of chaotic people attacked, they could not break through Huizhou Mansion City.

Ren Jianxiu and Li Xi met, and after a polite remark, Ren Jianxiu asked Li Xi about the recent movements of the People's Army, Guishan County has fallen for many days, and the Huizhou Mansion City, which is only a few dozen miles away, is safe and sound, Li Xi is puzzled, and Ren Jianxiu is also very puzzled.

"The chaotic people in Guishan County stayed in Guishan County after breaking through the county seat, and there was no other action." Li Xi told Ren Jianxiu about the movements of the People's Army on Fangnan 1st Road.

"No movement?" Ren Jianxiu looked puzzled.

"Lord Ren, this group of rebels in Guishan County is very unusual, they used artillery and guns when attacking Guishan County, how could the rebels have firearms." Li Xi said again.

"It's really not ordinary, the Jieshi guard is gone, the strength of this chaotic people cannot be underestimated, I led this battalion of vanguard troops to be stationed outside the city first, and then enter Guishan County to destroy the enemy after the other horses arrived."

Ren Jianxiu revealed a little battle plan to Li Xi, after all, Li Xi is the prefect of Huizhou Prefecture, and most of Ren Jianxiu's soldiers and horses will gather in Huizhou Mansion, and with Li Xi's cooperation, it can save a lot of trouble.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, civil officials were used to control the military, emphasizing civilian officials and ignoring military positions, and many times civilian officials looked down on military generals, but Li Xi would not give Ren Jianxiu any trouble, but hoped that Ren Jianxiu would quickly lead the army to exterminate the chaotic people.

Li Xi is the prefect of Huizhou Prefecture, Yong'an County, Haifeng County, and Guishan County, which were captured by the chaotic people, were all under Li Xi's rule, the three counties fell, and the Ming army of Jieshiwei and one guard was gone, which was a big deal, and it was also a big trouble for Li Xi.

Now that Li Xi is still the prefect of Huizhou Prefecture, Li Xi is not sure whether he will be dismissed after Ren Jianxiu leads the army to encircle and suppress the rebellious people or after encircling and suppressing the rebellious people.

After the meeting between Ren Jianxiu and Li Xi, Ren Jianxiu returned to the barracks and sent more spies to Guishan County to investigate the situation of the chaotic people.

After Ren Jianxiu arrived in Huizhou Fucheng, the three thousand soldiers and horses guarding Huizhou Fucheng were transferred to Ren Jianxiu, and the guards and young men of the large families who were recruited and recruited, even if the number was as high as thousands, Ren Jianxiu didn't care, it was worse than a new soldier, and it was better to cause chaos on the battlefield.

The 3,000 soldiers and horses in Huizhou Fucheng, the 3,000 vanguard army brought by Ren Jianxiu, and the three battalions of nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses will rush to Huizhou Fucheng to join the vanguard army, and then Ren Jianxiu will have 15,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, half of which are guards, and half are recruits.

15,000 soldiers and horses are only a part of the Ming army mobilized by Ren Jianxiu, located in the north of Yongan County, Huizhou Weilongchuan Thousand Households, Changle Thousand Households, Heyuan Thousand Households, the three thousand households together about 3,000 soldiers and horses, from the north to encircle the rebellious people; The Chaozhou Guard, located in the Chaozhou Prefecture, will also mobilize at least 3,000 soldiers and horses to contain the rebels from the east.

It can be said that in order to exterminate the People's Army, Ren Jianxiu mobilized a total of 21,000 troops, which is already a very large number of troops for encircling and suppressing the rebels who only wantonly plundered three counties, equivalent to one-fifth of the strength of the Ming army in the entire territory of Guangdong.

Chaozhouwei was far away from the city of Guangzhou, and was cut off by three counties controlled by the People's Army, so it was necessary to take a detour or sea route to convey orders, and mobilization was relatively slow.

Moreover, Hu Zhuang Yi Yi Road People's Army is currently active in the west of Chaozhou Prefecture, and occasionally will test the county seat, but more often it is to clean up the manor of the landlord's big family, and the landlord's family is okay if they run away, if they don't run away, they will directly end the nest, even if there are dozens or hundreds of guards in the manor, they are far from being the opponent of Hu Zhuang Yi Road People's Army.

Because of the wanton plundering of the Hu Zhuang 1st Road People's Army in the west of Chaozhou Capital, the Chaozhou Wei is mobilizing people and horses, preparing to encircle and suppress the Hu Zhuang 1st Road People's Army first.

The day after the Fangnan 1st Road People's Army advanced westward and Hu Zhuang 1st Road People's Army advanced eastward, Wang Shengrong also led his troops to the north, and the main enemy was Huizhou Wei's Longchuan Qianhusuo, Changle Qianhusuo, and Heyuan Qianhusuo, and Longchuan County, Changle County, and Heyuan County were also the main targets of Wang Shengrong's 1st Road People's Army.

It's just that Longchuan County is located in the north of Yongan County, Heyuan County is located in the northwest of Yongan County, and Changle County is located in the northeast of Yongan County, with a distance of more than 100 miles.

Wang Shengrong was most worried that he would lead the army to attack a county, and the Ming army would not go over to support but to attack Yong'an County, and the People's Army in Yong'an County only had one battalion of cold weapons troops, and the rest were all new recruits, whose strength was weak, and the problem was serious.

After careful deliberation, Wang Shengrong, Gao Wei, and Xiong Jian finally decided on a plan - to lead the enemy out.

The First Mixed Brigade of the People's Army led by Wang Shengrong has one battalion of firearms troops, two regiments of cold weapons troops, plus the Xiandeng battalion, the women's battalion, and the medical team, and minus one battalion of the cold weapons unit left behind, and the number of troops that can be dispatched is close to 3,000.

With a battalion of firearms troops, even if he fought head-on with the Ming army of the three thousand households, Wang Shengrong was confident that he would defeat the enemy.

Therefore, in the formulated plan, Wang Shengrong's People's Army should march due north to Longchuan County with great fanfare, attracting the Ming Army in Heyuan County and the Ming Army in Changle County to come and support.

On September 25, Wang Shengrong and his People's Army left Yong'an County and marched northward with great fanfare, and then they were known by the Ming army spies and understood that the People's Army was going to attack Longchuan County.

From Yong'an County to Longchuan County, the People's Army can arrive in a day and a half of marching, and it is this day and a half of the journey, and Wang Shengrong walked all the way to the People's Army for more than four days.

The scouts of the People's Army traveled back and forth to the three counties and saw that the Ming Army in Heyuan County and the Ming Army in Changle County were rushing to Longchuan County to support the Ming Army in Longchuan County to resist the People's Army.

On September 30, Ren Jianxiu led a battalion of Ming troops to Huizhou Fucheng, and on the same day, Wang Shengrong's people's army and the Ming army of the three counties that had converged confronted each other in the south of Longchuan County.

"To fight or not?" Longchuan Qianhu asked the other two Qianhu.

"Hit! The enemy has fewer troops than us, and the people are just chaotic, but can they still be our opponents? Defeat the rebels, and all three of us will be promoted to become rich. Heyuan Qianhu replied affirmatively.

"Yes, hit." Changle Qianhu also agreed.

More than 3,000 Ming troops and nearly 3,000 people's troops fought against each other, even if the people's army was the so-called chaotic people and their strength was not strong, the three thousand households also understood that if the more than 3,000 Ming troops wanted to defeat nearly 3,000 chaotic people, their own side would also suffer heavy losses.

However, the three thousand households didn't care, the dead and wounded were just ordinary soldiers, and in the eyes of the thousand households, the small soldiers were like tenants renting the landlord's land, which was very cheap.
