"Your headquarters' mission is to take over the entire Shaozhou Prefecture."

Before leaving Xiong Jian, Fang Nan gave Xiong Jian a task, which was to take down Shaozhou Prefecture. The People's Army pursued the Ming army from Huguang and wanted to enter Shaozhou Prefecture, and just took over the entire Shaozhou Prefecture.

Shaozhou Prefecture is not a coastal prefecture, and the entire Shaozhou Prefecture has not had much force except the Ming army in Huguang. Xiong Jian, the People's Army and the Ming army in Huguang fought for three days, with a large number of casualties. However, with the current strength of Xiong Jian, the People's Army in the People's Army, it is enough to capture Shaozhou Prefecture.

"Make sure to complete the task!" Xiong Jian said.

He gave Xiong Jian the task, and Fang Nan led the team to continue to advance to support Wang Shengrong and the People's Army.

Just when Xiong Jian and the People's Army defeated the Ming army in Huguang, a small-scale battle also occurred in Boluo County.

He Yan led the third mixed brigade to pass through Boluo County. The situation in Boluo County was similar to that in Huizhou Prefecture City. Guo Yan's army fled to Boluo County. After that, officials, gentry and merchants in Boluo County, and most of the Ming army fled.

The defensive power of Boluo County was very weak. The Third Mixed Brigade easily captured Boluo County, and the army continued to advance, aiming directly at Guangzhou City.

...

"The government army was defeated again?"

In the Sun Mansion in Guishan County, the head of the Sun family heard the news that the guards brought back from outside, and sat directly on the chair, his mind was in chaos.

Originally, the head of the Sun family lived in a manor outside the city most of the time. With the news of the rebellion of the rioters from Haifeng County, the head of the Sun family was worried that the rioters would return to Guishan County, so he took his family to live in Guishan County.

There were gentry and merchants in Guishan County who were worried that the rioters would come over, and even broke the county town and fled to Huizhou Prefecture City with their families. The head of the Sun family had no connections in Huizhou Prefecture City and did not buy a family business, so he stayed in Guishan County.

Unexpectedly, the head of the Liu Sun family could not leave. The People's Army captured Guishan County, and the entire Guishan County was greatly changed. Because the People's Army purchased the Sun family's farmland at a low price and abolished the slaves' contracts and other things, the Sun family's sense of the People's Army was very bad. The head of the Sun family hoped that the official army could wipe out the People's Army as soon as possible.

Soon, the Ming army launched the first encirclement and suppression of the People's Army. Ren Jianxiu led a large army from the West. The head of the Sun family and other gentry and merchants who had not been confiscated were looking forward to seeing the scene of the official army destroying the People's Army, but they did not expect that the official army was defeated, and the 15,000 official army was defeated like this.

The Ming army was defeated for the first time, and the head of the Sun family could only comfort himself because the Ming army underestimated the enemy. Next time the court would send more troops to encircle and suppress the People's Army, and would definitely wipe out the People's Army and restore the Sun family's life to the previous life.

Finally, the head of the Sun family waited for the second encirclement and suppression of the People's Army by the court. This time the court really sent more troops to arrive. The head of the Sun family believed that the government army would definitely wipe out the People's Army this time. The head of the Sun family was preparing to wait for the government army to recover and return to Shan County to work.

But now, when the head of the Sun family received news that the official army was defeated by the People's Army again, the head of the Sun family felt as if the sky had collapsed.

"Why are the government army defeated? Why are they defeated? Can the People's Army really overthrow the court? No, no, the court is so powerful, with a million troops, the People's Army will definitely not be the opponent of the court. This time the government army will definitely underestimate the enemy. Next time the court will send hundreds of thousands of troops to wipe out the People's Army, and next time it will definitely win!"

The other gentry and merchants in Guishan County also thought so. Only a few of them had smiles on their faces. They had already thought of seeking refuge in the People's Army, but they were worried that the People's Army would be wiped out by the official army and could not make a decision easily.

Now that the government army is defeated again, they feel that the People's Army has the possibility of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty. This is a good opportunity for speculation. Once the People's Army successfully overthrows the Ming Dynasty, the first group of people who defect to the People's Army will definitely make a big profit.

But they never thought that whether the People's Army would accept their surrender was an important question.

At the end of December 15, the entire Huizhou Prefecture had almost been occupied by the People's Army, and there were no large Ming army in the territory. The Ming Dynasty's second encirclement and suppression of the People's Army, as the main force, the Ming army in Guangdong, the Ming army in Huguang, and the Ming army in Fujian, had been defeated by the People's Army, and only the Ming army in Jiangxi was still confronting the People's Army.

After the People's Army defeated the Ming army, the People's Army had begun to expand on a large scale.

He Yan's third mixed brigade has successively captured Huizhou Prefecture City and Boluo County, and is about to enter Guangzhou Prefecture; a part of the first mixed brigade led by Xiong Jian has entered Shaozhou Prefecture and is chasing the fleeing Ming army in Huguang; Hu Zhuang's second mixed brigade has captured Jieyang County, and is about to march towards Chaozhou Prefecture.

This time the People's Army's goal will be the entire Guangdong.

On December 16th, near noon, Xiong Jian and the People's Army captured Wengyuan County, Shaozhou Prefecture; in the afternoon, Hu Zhuang led the Second Mixed Brigade to Chaozhou Prefecture, surrounded Chaozhou Prefecture, and bombarded it. As the evening approached, news of Guo Ze's army's defeat was sent to Guangzhou City.

"Is Guo Cheng defeated?"

Upon hearing the news, Wu Wenhua felt that his eyes were about to faint when they turned dark. He finally persisted and did not faint.

"Why did Guo Cheng lose? Where is Guo Cheng?" Wu Wenhua asked with a low roar.

"The general was killed by the thief using demonic magic. The army was unowned and defeated by the thief."

"Killed by the thief who used demonic magic? I don't believe it, how could Guo Cheng be killed by such a ridiculous method? Haha." Wu Wenhua was angry and laughed. It was the first time he had lived for so many years that he knew there was a demonic magic. He didn't believe in a demonic magic!

No matter what, Guo Cheng's army was defeated, and there were few escapees. The bandit army was advancing towards Guangzhou City. Guangzhou City was in danger. What Wu Wenhua needs to do most now is to mobilize troops and generals to defend Guangzhou City.

However, most of the Ming army stationed in Guangzhou Prefecture had been transferred when they encircled the People's Army twice. The number of Ming army in the entire Guangzhou Prefecture was less than 10,000, and the defenders in Guangzhou City had only more than 6,000.

With the 6,000 Ming army, the People's Army could not defend Guangzhou City. It was too late to transfer troops from other places. Now all Wu Wenhua could do is to recruit young and strong families to protect the city and cooperate with the Ming army to defend the city.

It is necessary to dispatch troops and generals to dispatch troops. Guangzhou City has some time to resist the People's Army. When the Ming army arrives, Guangzhou City can be defended, and it may even wipe out the People's Army that attacks Guangzhou City.

In addition, the news that "Guo Cheng's army was defeated and the bandits attacked" has spread in Guangzhou City. The powerful and powerful people who were afraid that Guangzhou City would be destroyed wanted to leave Guangzhou City.

But Wu Wenhua did not allow it. The gate of Guangzhou City was closed. Without his order from Wu Wenhua, no one was allowed to leave Guangzhou City. No matter how others asked or scolded him, Wu Wenhua was unmoved and determined to defend Guangzhou City.
