In the early morning of the eighth day of October, the Ming army in the Fucheng area of Huizhou opened out, targeting Guishan County, 20 miles to the east.

The entire Ming army has a total of more than 15,000 people, half of which is the guard army, half of which is recruitment, and all the Ming army is divided into six battalions, five infantry battalions, and one cavalry battalion, of which four infantry battalions are more than 3,000 people, and the remaining infantry battalion is more than 2,300 people, and the cavalry battalion has more than 800 cavalry.

There are only 800 cavalry in the 15,000 Ming army, the proportion is very small, Guangdong is already mountainous and forested, and the mountains and forests are not suitable for cavalry action, so the proportion of cavalry in Guangdong is very low, but in the northern border area, because the nomadic tribe cavalry is coming, the main thing that can deal with the cavalry is the cavalry, and most of the cavalry of the Ming army is in the border area.

General soldier Ren Jianxiu ordered Su Yu to be the commander of the former army, led a battalion of the Ming army to be opened by the Ming army, and ordered Xue Shengrong to be the commander of the rear army, leading a battalion of the Ming army, Ren Jianxiu personally served as the commander of the Chinese army, with more than 9,000 soldiers in four battalions.

When the 15,000 Ming troops left the Huizhou Fucheng area, the number of Ming troops stationed in Huizhou Fucheng would only be a few hundred, and thousands of guards from young and large families would be recruited to help defend the city.

The Ming army was opened, and the prefect Li Xi led the officials of Huizhou Mansion to see off the Ming army, hoping that Ren Jianxiu could lead the Ming army to exterminate the rebellious people in Huizhou Mansion as soon as possible.

The Ming army in the Huizhou Fucheng area had a move, and was immediately informed by the people's army scouts, and quickly returned with information, and the Ming army's front army only marched a few miles, and the scouts came to the governor with information.

"Report to the Metropolitan Governor that the enemy army has left the Huizhou Fucheng area and is heading east." The scout panted and reported the movement of the Ming army to Fang Nan.

Hearing the scout's report, Fang Nan nodded and said, "It's hard work, go down and rest." ”

"Yes!"

"The Ming army has moved, and it's time for us next." Fang Nan said to the surrounding group of senior KPA officers.

He Yan, Liu Hong and the others were full of war intent on their faces, and their eyes were even more excited, and they were not afraid at all when they saw the Ming army, which was several times their own strength.

At this time, Fang Nan is no longer in the town of Guishan County, but in the jungle six miles west of Guishan County, not far from the jungle is the only way for the Ming army to travel from Huizhou Mansion to Guishan County, here is also the place where Fang Nan chose to ambush the Ming army, the middle is the official road, and the mountains and forests are on both sides, which is very suitable for the terrain of ambush.

After many days of hard work, most of the people's troops in Guishan County took advantage of the night to move, leaving only one battalion of cold weapons troops plus more than 500 recruits to stay in Guishan County, and more than 3,500 other troops followed Fang Nan's side, preparing to ambush the Ming army.

The People's Army hidden in the mountains and forests has entered the ambush site to prepare, and scouts continue to return and report the latest movements of the Ming army to Fang Nan, and soon Fang Nan knew that the Ming army was divided into three armies: the front army, the middle army, and the rear army, with about 3,000 troops each in the front and rear armies, and about 10,000 troops in the middle army.

There are generally two tactics for ambushing the enemy, one is to block the enemy before and after entering the ambush circle, and the other is to cut the enemy in half from the middle, but these two tactics are not applicable to the Fangnan 1st Road People's Army, because the number of Fangnan 1st Road People's Army is too small.

The Ming army has 15,000 troops, and if Fang Nan is injured and has about 10,000 troops, both tactics can be used, but the strength in Fang Nan's hands is only 3,500, a gap of more than four times.

Under the absolute superiority of troops, the People's Army was able to successfully ambush at the beginning, and after destroying thousands of Ming troops, the Ming Army would frantically counterattack, and it was easy for the People's Army to fall into an unfavorable situation.

Under such circumstances, Fang Nan planned to eat the front army of the Ming army first, and then weaken the Ming army step by step.

The marching speed of the Ming army is relatively slow, when the people's army attacks the headquarters of Jieshiwei and the various thousand households, it can march more than 60 miles a day, the Ming army attacked by the city of Huizhou, because of the burden of dragging, can march 45 miles a day is considered to be more, but as the vanguard of the Ming army, the thousand troops carried not much baggage, the speed of the march is relatively fast, and before two hours, they came to the people's army ambush circle.

Even though the People's Army has made many major events such as capturing six counties and eliminating Jieshiwei, a considerable number of people in the Ming Army still despise the People's Army, or do not attach importance to it, believing that the People's Army is just a chaotic people, at most a stronger chaotic people, and the arrival of the army will definitely exterminate the chaotic people in one fell swoop.

The front army of the Ming army marched in the direction of Guishan County with its head stuffed, and in addition to sending spies to explore the situation in Guishan County, it did not probe around its own marching route at all...... The People's Army can easily see the Ming Army's contempt for the People's Army.

Soon, the front army of the Ming army walked into the ambush circle of the People's Army, the soldiers of the People's Army were ready for battle, in the absence of battle orders, everyone hid their figures and kept quiet, whoever made a movement to attract the attention of the Ming Army and caused the ambush to fail, it was the sinner of the People's Army.

The firearms unit was the main force in the ambush warfare on this battlefield, and the Fangnan No. 1 Road People's Army had six companies of firearms, five of which were infantry companies, and one was an artillery company, with a total of more than 600 tiger head guns, 15 tiger head guns, and 12 Franc machine guns.

All artillery is assumed in the most suitable place, the ammunition has been loaded, the muzzle is aimed at the official road, and the cannon body is covered by vegetation, as long as the vegetation is removed, the cannon can be ignited.

The 600 musketeers have been dispersed in platoons to all important positions in the ambush circle, and the front and rear of the ambush circle are all important positions, and the musketeers need to block it so that the Ming army cannot escape.

The remaining soldiers of the cold weapon unit flew around the firearm unit, and when the firearm unit attacked the enemy in the ambush circle, the soldiers of the cold weapon unit could rush towards the Ming army in the path that avoided the firing route of the firearm unit.

After a while, the front army of the Ming army has entered the middle of the ambush circle, as the vanguard, the strength of the front army of the Ming army is very strong, a battalion of 3,000 troops are recruited, and the rear army of the battalion is completely different from the lazy and lazy march of the guard.

There were only five or six miles left from Guishan County, and Su Yu, who was riding on a war horse, faintly felt some uneasiness in his heart, but he didn't know where this uneasiness came from.

Su Yu is very contemptuous of the chaotic people, after knowing that the People's Army has done all kinds of important things, he only attaches a little more importance to it, in Su Pleiades's eyes, the chaotic people are always chaotic people, and he thinks that he can lead these 3,000 recruits to exterminate all the chaotic people gathered in Guishan County.
