About three miles northeast of Huizhou Prefecture City, there is a small village called Shangheli. Going west of Shangheli, there is a large area of ​​forest. About five or six days ago, a team of more than 100 Ming troops came here to patrol and guard the surrounding areas.

The Ming soldiers were patrolling and chatting.

"Why should we send here? The thief is so powerful that once we hit, no one can escape."

"There is no way. Whoever dares to come for us has no background or qualifications among those adults, so they send us to us."

"What if we really run into the enemy?"

"What should I do? You must not fight. The thieves are so powerful. Tens of thousands of troops have been defeated by the thieves. Our 100 people are not even a match. When we see the thieves, the first choice is to escape, and the second choice is to surrender to the thieves. I have rumors that the thieves will not kill prisoners at will, and only punish those who have done bad things before."

"As long as I can survive, I haven't gotten married and had children yet, I don't want to die so soon."

"It's better not to let us hit the thief, God bless you."

In the jungle dozens of meters away from a patrolling Ming soldiers, two People's Army scouts came to explore.

"There are enemies! Hide your body and don't be discovered by the enemies!"

"knew!"

The two scouts whispered, and their bodies kept groping towards the edge of the jungle.

"There are actually Ming army patrols here. There should be a Ming army garrison nearby. Let's change the place and investigate the Ming army garrison and number."

"Um."

The two scouts hid their bodies through the vegetation of trees and vegetation, moved around the edge of the jungle, determined the Ming army's garrison, and roughly counted the number of Ming army, and then returned with intelligence.

"Report, we found a Ming army stationed outside the jungle ahead, with more than 100 Ming army members."

Listening to the scouts' report, He Yan nodded. In fact, the Ming army stationed in front was discovered by the scouts from the Third Mixed Brigade several days ago. Now he has only confirmed it again.

According to the information discovered by the scouts over the past few days, more than 7,000 Ming troops gathered in Huizhou Fucheng area, and a small number of Ming troops were scattered out to carry out patrol and alert tasks a little further away from Huizhou Fucheng. It should be to prevent the People's Army from touching the mountains and forests and sneaking into Huizhou Fucheng.

There are only more than one hundred Ming troops in one area, and this patrol and alert mission is a mission to send death. When the People's Army attacks, one person fled back to Huizhou Prefecture City with intelligence.

In the eyes of the Ming army officers and generals, it is useless to send more patrol people. Could it be that even if a thousand people are placed in a region, it would not be a match for the People's Army? It would be better to send only one hundred people over. Even if you really hit the People's Army, it would not hurt too much if you lose one hundred people.

Everyone knows it is a mission to send death, and there are not many Ming troops who are willing to carry out patrol and alert tasks. In the end, you push me and I push you, and send people without background and qualifications out.

There were only more than one hundred Ming troops, and the troops led by He Yan could be completely destroyed easily. The key was the subsequent actions. He Yan wanted to find an opportunity to kill the cavalry in the Ming army.

There are many mountains and forests in Guangdong, but there are official roads and open areas as battlefields. The mobility of cavalry is far greater than that of infantry. A cavalry unit with as many as thousands of cavalry in the Ming army poses a great threat to the People's Army. If you accidentally do not even firearms troops can stop the cavalry's charge.

The Ming army's cavalry stayed honestly in Huizhou Prefecture City, and He Yan was about to lure the cavalry out and give him a painful blow.

The specific combat plan was very simple, which was to pretend that a People's Army with only a few hundred people was operating outside and attacking the Ming army's garrison everywhere.

Just a few hundred people's army would make the Ming generals think that this people's army is very weak and do not want to see this people's army making trouble around, so they sent cavalry troops to encircle the people's army.

"Get to act!"

"yes!"

He Yan issued a combat order, and one company of the firearms troops, two companies of the cold weapons troops rushed out of the mountains and forests, half rushed towards the Ming army stationed, and half scattered to encircle and suppress the Ming army squad that was patrolling and guarding.

"There are enemies!"

"The thief is here! Run!"

"I surrender, I surrender, don't kill me."

...

Facing hundreds of People's Army soldiers who rushed out of the jungle, no one dared to resist. Most of the Ming army, including the Ming army officers who commanded more than 100 soldiers, chose to escape at the first time. Only a small number of Ming army directly threw down their weapons and surrendered to the People's Army when they felt that they might not be able to escape.

"Chasing, don't let an enemy go!"

"Don't run away from the front, if we run away, we will open the fire!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

More than ten lead ejected in a row, knocking down more than a dozen Ming soldiers, scaring the Ming army around him immediately gave up and ran away, fearing that he would be killed by firearms like his colleagues who fell to the ground.

There were also Ming soldiers who were running fast and far away, and continued to run towards Huizhou Prefecture City. There were about twenty Ming soldiers like this. The People's Army did not choose to attack or pursue them and let them escape.

This is also the plan here, but there were more Ming soldiers running away. The Ming soldiers who fled back to Huizhou Prefecture City would send back the news of the People's Army's attack on the Ming army's garrison, which would also bring some chaos to the Ming army stationed in Huizhou Prefecture City.

The battle came and went quickly. Hundreds of People's Army soldiers took more than 70 Ming army prisoners back into the mountains and forests, handed the prisoners to others for custody, and then moved towards the area where the next target was.

Soon, news of the People's Army's attack on the Ming army's garrison reached Huizhou Prefecture City. In order to prevent himself from being punished, the Ming army officer directly said that thousands of People's Army attacked, and the thieves were in great power and could not resist, so they chose to retreat.

"How many thieves are there?" Ren Jianxiu wanted to know a more specific number.

After careful inquiry, Ren Jianxiu realized that there were only a few hundred people in the People's Army stationed in the Ming army. Ren Jianxiu did not punish the officers for exaggerating the enemy. The 100 Ming army was almost the same as the 100 Ming army, and the 100 Ming army could not resist it at all. It was a blessing to be able to come back alive.

A Ming army garrison was attacked, and Ren Jianxiu did not act rashly. Even if there were hundreds of people, he would still lose. Ren Jianxiu wanted to see what the People's Army wanted to do.

Two hours later, the news of the second garrison being attacked by hundreds of People's Army reached Huizhou Prefecture City. Three hours later, the third garrison being attacked by hundreds of People's Army.

In more than a day, four Ming army stationed sites were attacked by the People's Army, and the Ming army lost more than 300 troops.

"There are only a few hundred thieves who are harassing our army?" Ren Jianxiu was not sure.

Ren Jianxiu is now worried that the People's Army will send a small army to attack everywhere, attracting the Ming army out of the city, and then destroying the Ming army, so that Huizhou Prefecture City will soon be captured by the People's Army.

However, it would not be possible to be haunted by the People's Army. In the end, Ren Jianxiu made a decision that the large Ming army could not leave the city, but the cavalry troops could. With the mobility of the cavalry, they could retreat quickly even if they encountered ambush by the People's Army. Moreover, the cavalry troops could not play much useful when defending the city.
