On October 17, the People's Army Central Government was established in Yong'an County.

On October 19th, at night, He Yan led a battalion of firearms troops, and two battalions of cold weapons troops, a total of more than 1,000 people left Guishan County.

On October 20th, He Yan led his troops to harass the Ming army and tried to lure the Ming cavalry troops in Huizhou Prefecture City to fight.

On October 22, the Ming cavalry troops left Huizhou Prefecture City. Before noon, the two armies met. The Ming cavalry troops were severely injured by He Yan's troops, and only more than 400 cavalry fled back to Huizhou Prefecture City.

On the same day, Wang Shengrong led more than 3,000 people from the First Mixed Brigade and more than 1,000 new recruits who were still in the training stage left Changle County and marched to Xingning County to the northeast. Many officials followed the team.

In the afternoon, Xingning County was easily captured by the First Mixed Brigade.

When the First Mixed Brigade attacked Xingning County, there were a large number of people defending Xingning County, nearly a thousand, but most of them were young and strong recruited by the magistrates and guards of a few wealthy families. The Ming army only had hundreds of defenders in Xingning County. It can be said that Xingning County's defense power was very weak.

Originally, the main garrison of Huizhou Prefecture was Huizhou Guards. In the previous battles, the three thousand houses in Longchuan County, Changle County and Heyuan County were completely destroyed. When Ren Jianxiu led his army to war in Guishan County, the headquarters of Huizhou Guards was also severely damaged. Xingning, Heping and Changning counties in the northern part of Huizhou Prefecture had no defensive power at all.

Before the First Mixed Brigade went to Xingning County, the name of the People's Army had spread throughout Xingning, Heping, Changning, and even Xingning, Heping, Changning, and most of the wealthy families in the three counties had fled from the three counties, worried that the People's Army would capture the three counties, and even some officials would lose their official positions and flee.

However, the magistrates of the three counties did not escape. They looked for all their strength to defend their rule. However, relying solely on hundreds of defenders and young and strong men who were recruited, they were too weak. The First Mixed Brigade fired a few guns and fired several guns, so that the defenders in Changning County were mixed together and easily captured Changning County. It is expected that it will not be difficult to attack Heping County and Xingning County in the future.

On October 23, Hu Zhuang led the Second Mixed Brigade and more than a thousand new recruits who were still in the training stage left Haifeng County and went east to Huilai County, Chaozhou Prefecture, and a group of officials followed behind the Second Mixed Brigade.

After Wang Shengrong's First Mixed Brigade left a unit in Changning County, he led a large army to march towards Heping County, north of Longchuan County.

On the morning of October 24, the Second Mixed Brigade arrived outside Huilai County, surrounded Huilai County and carried out several tentative attacks, but none of them had much effect.

Huilai County is the closest place to Haifeng County in Chaozhou Prefecture. In order to prevent the People's Army, Chaozhou Guards placed some of their troops in Huilai County, which was the Ming army that was attacked by Hu Zhuang's troops at night last time.

Under such circumstances, there were at least 1,500 Ming troops in Huilai County, and the number of young and strong men recruited by the guards of wealthy families had exceeded 2,000.

Although there are many people, their combat effectiveness may not be strong. The original county garrison was weak. The half-army and half-civilian army such as the Guards were only higher than the county garrison, which was quite different from recruiting troops.

What's more, the guards in Huilai County had already fought with the People's Army led by Hu Zhuang. A night attack defeated the more than 2,000 guards. Again, facing the People's Army, it is unknown how much morale this guards can raise.

After the Second Mixed Brigade surrounded Huilai County, it carried out several tentative attacks. At most, there were small chaos on the city walls, and it was soon pacified. This was mainly because there were more Ming troops in Huilai County. If there were more young and strong recruits, it would be easier to have more chaos.

Through several tentative attacks, Hu Zhuangda roughly determined the strength of the Ming army in Huilai County. He will bombard Huilai County every once in a while and harass Huilai County. He will launch an siege against Huilai County tomorrow and conquer Huilai County in one battle.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Shengrong led the First Mixed Brigade to easily capture Heping County.

On October 25, Wu Wenhua finally received the order from the court and felt a little relieved. The three governors of Huguang, Jiangxi and Fujian each transferred 10,000 troops, and in addition, the number of troops of 2, 30,000, 50,000, and 60,000 troops should be able to wipe out the group of traitors.

As for Ren Jianxiu's dismissal, Wu Wenhua couldn't say anything. Defeat is a crime. No matter whether the traitor is strong or weak, it is already very good that he did not execute him or even implicate his family.

General Ren Jianxiu was dismissed, and Deputy General Guo Ze was promoted to general and led a large army to encircle and suppress the rebels.

On the same day, Guo Cheng accepted Wu Wenhua's order, left Guangzhou City, and rode his horse towards Huizhou City.

On the same morning, Hu Zhuang led the second mixed brigade to attack Huilai County, with artillery bombardment and tiger-headed spears long-range suppression of the enemy on the city wall. Finally, the soldiers of the camp first blew open the city gate with explosives.

When the Second Mixed Brigade attacked the city, the outcome of Huilai County was decided, not to mention that the previous artillery bombardment and tiger-headed gun suppression, the defenders in Huilai County had suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy morale. After the city gate was broken, the morale of the defenders was completely gone.

The battle in Huilai County should be the most casualties in the People's Army since its establishment. More than a hundred people died and hundreds of injured. The one who charged forward suffered the greatest losses and was almost severely damaged. Only the firearms troops were killed in battle.

After capturing Huilai County, Hu Zhuang also distributed a unit to capture Jinghai Station in the southeast of Huilai County. There were only dozens of Ming troops stationed in Jinghai Station. Hundreds of People's Army soldiers arrived and were about to attack, but these dozens of Ming troops surrendered.

On October 27, Wang Shengrong led the First Mixed Brigade to easily capture Changning County. When Xingning County, Heping County and Changning County were to be captured continuously, only Boluo County and Huizhou Prefecture remained.

The People's Army has no idea of ​​capturing Boluo County for the time being. The People's Army lacks military strength. After capturing Boluo County, it will be east and facing Huizhou Prefecture City in the north. The Ming army can attack north or east. However, the People's Army wants to capture Huizhou Prefecture City, but it is not possible to capture Huizhou Prefecture City in a short time. It is better to stay Boluo County and continue Huizhou Prefecture City against Guishan County.

On that day, Hu Zhuang led the Second Mixed Brigade to capture Puning County, the north of Huilai County after the war.

Puning County was also a city that Hu Zhuang's troops had raided. When the Second Mixed Brigade attacked Puning County, there were about 1,000 Ming troops in the city, and more than 500 young and strong. Their strength was weaker than Huilai County, but they were much stronger than Changning County.

The second mixed tour took a lot of effort to capture Puning County, which can be said to be the second most casualties since the founding of the People's Army.

The capture of Huilai County and Puning County is a tough battle for the People's Army, and the People's Army also had a large number of casualties, which is inevitable for the People's Army. There will be more times in the future. It will be difficult to capture a city in a short period of time if you only have to kill or injured dozens of people.

On the same day, the new Guangdong general Guo Ze arrived at Huizhou Prefecture City, Ren Jianxiu resigned, and Guo Ze took over the Ming army stationed in Huizhou Prefecture City.
