Chapter 134 The Second Encirclement and Suppression Completely Failed
"Big victory! Big victory!"
In the office of the People's Army Central Government in Yong'an County, Zhou Lei, Ding Wei, Zhao Hong and others who received the news burst into laughter and wiped out all the worries and fears that had been in the past many days.
As senior leaders of the People's Army, they know the dangers that the People's Army encountered this time. Sixty thousand Ming troops came. Although the People's Army also had 60,000 troops, most of them were new recruits. This was an difficult battle.
Unexpectedly, the Third Mixed Brigade defeated Guo Ze's army, the main force of the Ming army so soon. Once Guo Ze's army was defeated, the second encirclement and suppression of the People's Army by the Ming Dynasty would inevitably end with the victory of the People's Army.
More importantly, the news sent back was still an order from Fang Nan, who ordered the People's Army Central Government to prepare and was about to move to Guangzhou City.
This order surprised everyone even more. Capturing Guangzhou City, the core of Guangdong, means that the entire Guangdong will soon fall into the control of the People's Army.
The People's Army initially had only two counties, with a population of about 200,000, which was so weak; soon, the People's Army developed into a territory of one capital, with a population of more than 800,000, which was still very weak compared to the Ming Dynasty.
Once the People's Army occupied the entire Guangdong and had nearly 10 million people under its rule, it would have enough confidence to fight against the Ming Dynasty, and the People's Army's dream of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty became more realistic.
"Transfer the news of our army's great victory so that the people can rest assured, and we must also be prepared for migration." After being happy, Zhou Lei said to everyone.
"Okay.", "I know.", "I understand."
Everyone replied.
Under the propaganda of the People's Army, soon, the people in Yong'an County first learned about the news of the People's Army's victory, and the people all smiled.
After a few months, the people really fell in love with the People's Army. Compared with the previous government, the People's Army is so good. They really hope that the People's Army can stay there and that the hateful government will never come back.
But the people also know that the People's Army is actually a stronger rebel. The government will definitely send large troops to encircle and suppress. If the People's Army is wiped out by the government, the people's lives will return to the past and live carefully every day.
Now that the people have heard that the People's Army has once again won the official army, the people are very happy. They hope that the People's Army can continue to win and prevent the government from coming back forever.
Ordinary people were happy that the People's Army won a great victory, but most of the few gentry and merchants left in Yong'an County were surprised and could not say a word.
Previously, the government army failed to encircle and suppress the People's Army. It was just that the government army underestimated the enemy, giving the People's Army an opportunity to take advantage of.
After underestimating the enemy, the court will definitely send more official troops to encircle and suppress the People's Army. This time, the People's Army's troops will increase rapidly, but everyone knows that most of them are recruited in the past few months and do not have much combat power.
They really couldn't figure out why the official army was defeated again.
They were unwilling to continue living under the rule of the People's Army, which was really unbearable. In their opinion, the People's Army was very unfriendly to the gentry and merchants. They lost their former superior status and could not even beat and scold the maids and servants at home.
But the official army was defeated again, and they were still under the rule of the People's Army. When will such a day end?
"No, no, the court is so powerful. If it fails the first time, and if it fails the second time, more government troops will be mobilized soon. At that time, hundreds of thousands of troops will come to suppress the people's army, and the People's Army will definitely be wiped out by the government troops!" They could only comfort themselves in this way.
However, a small number of gentry and businessmen who had the idea of joining the People's Army were about to prepare for action when they saw the People's Army win again.
The news that the People's Army defeated the Ming army quickly spread under the rule of the People's Army. At the same time, the People's Army was still fighting with the Ming army and was rapidly expanding its territory.
With a loud bang, the Xicheng Gate was blown up by the People's Army. The soldiers who climbed the camp took the lead and rushed into the city with their men. When they saw the city gate breaking, the People's Army rushed into the city, the Ming army on the city walls mixed together, some wanted to escape, some wanted to surrender, and very few Ming troops wanted to continue to resist.
When the Ming army fled at night in Jieyang County, Cao Yun successfully fled to Chaozhou Prefecture City with more than a thousand Ming troops, but the more than a thousand Ming troops were completely useless. He was so scared when he saw the People's Army that the Ming army was originally affected.
After the Second Mixed Brigade of the People's Army surrounded Chaozhou Prefecture City, it shot several times every half an hour, which scared the Ming army so much that it could only hide in the corner, and its morale continued to decline.
More importantly, the Ming army in Chaozhou Prefecture City will not have reinforcements in a short period of time, and the recent reinforcements will also be in Fujian. There will be no reinforcements. Many Ming soldiers have lost their mentality and do not want to die, so they can only surrender to the People's Army.
After a night of bombardment, the Second Mixed Brigade successfully blew the city gate and rushed into the city, and soon captured the entire Chaozhou Prefecture City.
Occupying Chaozhou Prefecture City is only the first step. Next, the Second Mixed Brigade will divide two troops, heading north and south respectively, occupying the entire Chaozhou Prefecture.
Before dealing with this Ming army from Fujian, Hu Zhuang led the People's Army to fight several battles with the Ming army of Chaozhou Prefecture. It can be said that after taking over Chaozhou Prefecture, there were no more Ming troops in the entire Chaozhou Prefecture, and they were unable to resist the Second Mixed Brigade occupying the entire Chaozhou Prefecture.
The overall situation on Chaozhou Prefecture has been determined. On the other hand, in the area bordering Heping County and Dingnan County, after Fangnan shot Liu Yuanji, Wang Shengrong led the People's Army to chase and kill the fleeing Ming army.
At this point, the second encirclement and suppression of the People's Army by the Ming Dynasty was a complete failure, and all the Ming troops in the four routes were defeated by the People's Army.
Wang Shengrong's main task was to chase and kill this Ming army with a sharp drop in morale. After that, Fang Nan also gave Wang Shengrong two tasks.
The first task is to lead the four counties of the troops to capture Dingnan County, Longnan County, Changning County (the same name) and Anyuan County to the north of Heping County, which is Ganzhou Prefecture in southern Jiangxi. These four counties are just a little distance from Guangdong, and are considered strategic locations and must be occupied in advance.
The second task is to capture Nanxiong Prefecture, Guangdong to the west. Nanxiong Prefecture is the smallest prefecture in Guangdong, with only two counties, so it is easier to capture Nanxiong Prefecture.
In this way, the People's Army had their own tasks after defeating the confrontation of Ming army. Hu Zhuang's second mixed brigade wanted to occupy eastern Guangdong, Wang Shengrong's first mixed brigade wanted to capture northern Guangdong, He Yan's third mixed brigade wanted to capture central and western Guangdong, and only Zhou Yi's fourth mixed brigade guarded his family.
Fang Nan was a little surprised. He still had no news of the Ming army attacking from the sea. Thinking about it carefully, Fang Nan found the problem. The Ming navy mainly fought on the water surface and allowed the navy to board the land to fight, which was a bit difficult for the navy.
Wu Wenhua believed that 60,000 Ming troops were enough to wipe out the People's Army, so he did not send a navy to fight.
