The pursuit of Li Chengliang's army continued until dark. The Ming army was still fleeing, but the People's Army could no longer pursue it. There were too many dangers in the night. No one dared to tell whether the army would gather and ambush the People's Army. Even if Li Chengliang's army is now defeated, its troops are still much more than Wang Shengrong's army.

During the chaos, Li Rusong took his father all the way to Ganzhou Prefecture City before stopping.

"The official army was defeated?"

"How is it possible? I heard that the thief has a talent of more than 100,000 troops and 500,000 troops under Li Shuai's command, how could it be defeated? How could it be defeated so quickly?"

"Run quickly, the thief is coming soon. If you don't run, you won't be able to escape."

The gentry and merchants who were still staying in Ganzhou Prefecture were frightened when they saw the defeated soldiers fleeing to Ganzhou Prefecture. Although these people were gentry and merchants, their families were not very wealthy and their industries were all in Ganzhou Prefecture. When it was not at a critical moment, they were unwilling to give up their industries in Ganzhou Prefecture, not to mention that they believed that the 500,000 official troops would definitely be able to defeat the People's Army.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the 500,000 official troops were defeated. Perhaps it would not take long for the People's Army to fight. If you don't run away, you will not be able to escape. If the industry is gone, it will be gone. As long as people are still alive, it will be fine.

Many gentry and merchants packed up their gold, silver and soft materials and took their families to leave the city while the night was dark and fled north. However, what was waiting for them was the Ming army's defeated troops.

Li Chengliang and Li Rusong are both in Ganzhou Prefecture City. Li Chengliang is in very bad condition now. Li Chengliang's army is now under the command of Li Rusong. Li Rusong wants to gather defeated troops in Ganzhou Prefecture City to reorganize the army, intending to rely on Ganzhou Prefecture City to fight with the People's Army again.

Leaving the city, the Ming army had no chance of defeating the People's Army. The battle during the day beat Li Chengliang to a terrible state of mind, which also made Li Rusong realize the true strength of the People's Army, which is so strong that it is terrible.

Once this Ganzhou Prefecture City cannot block the People's Army, the Ming Dynasty will no longer have the possibility of blocking the People's Army, and the People's Army will become the new ruler of the land of China.

His father Li Chengliang was rebellious. Li Rusong had known it for a long time, but now they are still part of the Ming Dynasty and cannot even defeat the People's Army. Don't think about rebelling. For the sake of this, the People's Army must be blocked outside the Ganzhou Prefecture City. If you can't stop it, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed by the People's Army one day.

Li Rusong personally brought people to collect the defeated soldiers in Ganzhou Prefecture City, but only a few of the defeated soldiers gathered over, and the other defeated soldiers fled in scattered areas. More defeated soldiers continued to flee north. Some of the defeated soldiers accidentally met the gentry and merchants who fled from Ganzhou Prefecture City. In front of the defeated soldiers, these escaped gentry and merchants were simply delicious food delivered to their doors, and they ate them all when they met.

The lucky gentry and merchants were just stolen all the valuables they carried with them. The lucky gentry and merchants were stolen all the valuables after snatching them. Of course, it was inevitable to touch the female family.

Unless an officer who can convince the crowd appears among the defeated soldiers to gather the defeated soldiers, these defeated soldiers will bring great harm to the Ming Dynasty ruling area, no less than the bandits.

After a night passed, Wang Shengrong's army continued to march northward, targeting Ganzhou Prefecture City. Li Rusong, who was staying in Ganzhou Prefecture City, continued to gather the defeated troops.

By noon, Wang Shengrong's vanguard troops finally arrived outside Ganzhou Prefecture City. Li Rusong had also stopped collecting the defeated troops and blocked all the gates of Ganzhou Prefecture City, preparing to defend Ganzhou Prefecture City to the death.

At this moment, the number of Ming troops in Ganzhou Prefecture City was as high as 110,000, but the morale was low because of yesterday's defeat. During the escape, the weapons and armor were thrown away. The combat effectiveness of the 110,000 Ming troops was very poor.

With 110,000 troops in hand, Li Rusong was not very sure about defending Ganzhou Prefecture City. Yesterday's battle allowed Li Rusong to see the strength of the People's Army. As long as the People's Army attacked the city at all costs, Ganzhou Prefecture City would definitely not be able to defend it.

Li Rusong could only hope that the People's Army was unwilling to spend too much money to take over the city of Ganzhou and retreat. As for the Ming court to send more Ming troops to support, it was too difficult.

Now, except for the border troops, most of the remaining troops in the Ming court gathered in Jiangxi, Fujian, Huguang and Guangxi, and there was no reinforcements at all, unless someone could gather the defeated troops in the north and bring them to support them.

The people's army gathered towards the Ganzhou Fucheng area. In the end, nearly 100,000 troops from twelve reorganized divisions gathered here. Under Wang Shengrong's personal leadership, Ganzhou Fucheng surrounded.

No longer surrounding three quarries and one quarry, Wang Shengrong planned to destroy all the Ming army in Ganzhou Prefecture City. As long as this Ming army is destroyed, there will be no Ming army in Jiangxi that can resist the People's Army.

There were twelve divisions surrounding Ganzhou Prefecture City, and the remaining ten divisions had already divided into groups and began to conquer cities and land in the Nan'an Prefecture and Ganzhou Prefecture area, and continued to advance northward, and finally achieved the goal of occupying the entire Jiangxi.

The officials of the People's Military Government in the border city have already gone to the newly occupied city under the escort of the army, preparing to establish the People's Military Government, and everything is unfolding in an orderly manner.

The People's Army had surrounded Ganzhou Prefecture City. Wang Shengrong did not immediately order an attack on Ganzhou Prefecture City, but instead sent several captured Ming army officers to send a letter of persuasion to the Ming army in Ganzhou Prefecture City.

Wang Shengrong was sure to take down Ganzhou Prefecture at a not-so-large price, but it would be better to take down Ganzhou Prefecture without losses. Wang Shengrong even gave the conditions to release Li Chengliang, Li Rusong and other Ming generals back to the Ming court ruling area.

Soon, the letter of persuasion was delivered to Li Rusong. Seeing the letter of persuasion, Li Rusong wanted to tear it off immediately, but had no idea of ​​surrendering to the People's Army. However, Li Rusong suppressed his thoughts, opened the letter of persuasion and looked carefully, and then wrote a reply letter to Wang Shengrong, asking for a few days to think.

Not long after, Wang Shengrong's reply came, asking Li Rusong to surrender tomorrow morning. If he did not surrender, the People's Army would launch an attack.

Seeing this second letter, Li Rusong understood that his plan to delay time had completely failed, so he had to fight.

There are not many Ming generals in Ganzhou Prefecture that want to surrender, but now Li Rusong is the leader. Whoever dares to say "submission" will probably be removed from office by Li Rusong in the next moment, and even kills the chicken to warn the monkey.

Li Rusong personally climbed the city wall to boost morale to the soldiers.

"Brothers, we must guard this city. Once the thief is released, the thief will plunder in our homeland. Your parents, wives and children will be slaughtered by the thief, and you would rather die than stop the thief!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Li Rusong's words aroused some morale for the Ming army, but he didn't know how much combat effectiveness it could restore the Ming army that defended the city. The People's Army agents who were still hidden in the Ming army continued to explain the lives of the people in the People's Army-ruled areas to other Ming soldiers in corners that the officers could not see.
