"The thieves have escorted many officials and soldiers back. Where were the officials and soldiers defeated by the thieves?"

"It should be from Huizhou Prefecture City. Oh, when will the official army drive the thieves away? My ten thousand acres of fertile land."

"Wait, the official army will definitely wipe out all the thieves. Anyway, the thieves did not kill us, so we will just watch the show here, just because we are worried that the official army will take advantage of the chaos to attack us."

"I hope those generals can restrain their officers and soldiers."

...

In a certain mansion, the only few "masters" left in Guishan County gathered together to chat. From the initial worries, they are almost returning to their normal minds, and they are still in the mood to chat about the war between the official army and the People's Army.

At this time, in Guishan County, the troops that ambushed the Ming army's front army had already escorted nearly a thousand prisoners back, and the prisoners were handed over to other troops for the custody. The returning troops climbed the city wall and prepared to welcome the upcoming second battle.

As noon approached, the central army of the Ming army finally appeared outside Guishan County. Nine thousand Ming troops directly surrounded Guishan County on three sides, leaving no one in the east.

In response to the People's Army in Guishan County, Ren Jianxiu adopted the tactic of three missing one, that is, he surrounded three sides, leaving one side without one. It seemed like a life path, Ren Jianxiu had already gathered all the cavalry in the army and ambushed.

There were open land around Guishan County. When the People's Army retreated along Sheng Road, nearly a thousand cavalry rushed directly over and scattered the People's Army.

Previously, the Ming army's cavalry battalion could not be deployed because of the narrow official road. This time, Ren Jianxiu wanted to let the rioters taste the power of the cavalry.

To the west of Guishan County is the main attack direction of the Ming army, and all the recruiting troops and artillery of the Central Army are concentrated in this direction.

Ren Jianxiu already knew that the People's Army was equipped with a large number of firearms, and because of the experience of the cavalry, he knew that the People's Army's firearms had a long range, so the Ming army lineup on the front battlefield was relatively far away from the city wall.

Of course, this is just relative. If you encounter ordinary rioters, the artillery position of the Ming army can be only 200 meters away from the city wall. Now the artillery position of the Ming army is only more than 500 meters away from the west wall of Guishan County.

More than 500 meters, it is still within the range of the People's Army's tiger-headed gun, tiger-headed cannon and Folang machine cannon.

Seeing that the Ming army was setting up artillery positions and infantry were lined up, the People's Army on the west wall of Guishan County was ready for combat.

At the wall of the west city wall, Fang Nan looked at the Ming army's artillery position with a telescope in his hand, sighed and said, "There are so many artillery in the Ming army. There are more than one hundred light artillery and heavy artillery together. If it is bombarded like this, the People's Army will kill and injure many people."

Of course, Fang Nan would not let the People's Army be bombed. Seeing that the Ming army pushed out all the artillery, he directly issued combat orders to the firearms troops:

"The firearms troops open fire! Knock off the enemy's artillery position!"

"yes!"

The next moment, fire shone on the west wall of Guishan County, and smoke filled the sky. One-third of the four hundred musketeers on the west wall opened fire on the Ming army's artillery positions.

From afar, Ren Jianxiu and other Ming army officers and generals saw the firelight and black smoke on the city wall, and they all knew that the firearms of the rioters had fired. This action surprised them very much.

"It's really a group of chaotic people who open fire at such a long distance." This sentence suddenly appeared in Ren Jianxiu's mind, but not long after this sentence appeared, Ren Jianxiu was stunned.

"How is it possible? How can the muskets of the rioters have such a long range?"

Ren Jianxiu stared at his artillery position in a daze. In just a few minutes, he was constantly poured out of ammunition from the People's Arms. There were almost no intact people on the artillery position, and no one dared to approach the artillery position.

The artillery of the Ming army was abolished by the People's Army.

“Retreat?!”

A thought came to Ren Jianxiu's mind. A battalion of the front army was gone, and all the artillery was reimbursed by the rioters. More importantly, the rioters' firearms were too sharp, and the range of the rioters' fire gun actually exceeded 150 feet.

This is simply even more Ming army than the Ming army, no wonder it can destroy the front army so quickly.

Ren Jianxiu was already determined to retreat, but Ren Jianxiu didn't want to retreat just like this. The governor asked himself to lead a large army to encircle and suppress the rioters. After so many days, he did not kill a few rioters but was defeated twice by the rioters and lost 6,000 troops.

Just retreating like this, Ren Jianxiu felt that his life was about to end.

In this case, Ren Jianxiu planned to try again. If the rioters were really strong, they would not retreat to the city.

Ren Jianxiu: "The order is sent to the city wall, and those who rush to the city wall will be rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver, and the official position will be promoted to three levels!"

"Those who rush up to the city wall will receive 5,000 taels of silver, and will be promoted to three levels!"

Ren Jianxiu's personal guards quickly spread Ren Jianxiu's words throughout the army. With the encouragement of promotion and wealth, the morale of the Ming army increased by a fraction.

Ren Jianxiu: "Beat the drum! The whole army attacks!"

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

As the sound of war drums sounded, the Ming army in the west, north and south directions of Guishan County launched a charge towards Guishan County. There were also figures of cloud ladders in the Ming army. It seemed that the Ming army had prepared cloud ladders in advance in order to capture Guishan County.

"Beat the drum and let the firearms troops open fire."

Seeing the Ming army charge, Fang Nan did not expect to wait until the Ming army is closer before firing. The Ming army has too many troops!

The drums on the Easy-going city wall sounded rhythmically, and the firearms troops on the three walls immediately opened fire on the charge of the Ming army with three-stage strike tactics.

There were too many Ming troops, and the formation of the Ming army was too dense. Every lead ejected, a Ming army soldier would be shot. The person who was shot was either dead or disabled, and the chance of survival was small.

Immediately after the tiger-headed gun, the fifteen tiger-headed cannons and twelve Folang machine cannons also fired solid shells at the charging Ming army. A solid shell hit the line, and the bodies of three and four Ming soldiers were about to be pierced.

Ming soldiers were constantly hit by bullets, but the Ming army was still charging. With the encouragement of Ren Jianxiu's promotion and wealth, the Ming army would not be defeated because of such a small amount of casualties.

"Run! Rush for me!"

"The enemy is just a group of chaotic people. How could the chaotic people be our opponent!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill those gangs of rioters!"

The officers in the Ming army were also using various words to inspire their subordinates.

Five hundred meters!

Four hundred and fifty meters!

Four hundred meters! In just one hundred meters, the Ming army suffered more than 800 casualties!

Three hundred and fifty meters!

Three hundred meters! In just one hundred meters, the number of casualties in the Ming army increased by more than 800 again.

This is a bloody road leading to Guishan County. The corpse road is opened up by the Ming soldiers who went on one after another for the Ming soldiers behind. The road is very long, and more than 800 Ming soldiers fall down every 100 meters away.

However, the incentive for the Ming army soldiers to get rich was limited. When the Ming army was less than 150 meters away from the city wall, nearly 3,000 Ming troops had already fallen. With the arrival of the rear army, the general of the Ming army was only 12,000.

The fear of death has overwhelmed the dream of getting promoted and wealthy, and the officer's Yanling Knife cannot stop the soldiers from escaping, and the Ming army is defeated!
