On the last day of September, because Guishan County was captured by the People's Army, Huizhou Prefecture City was in danger. General Ren Jianxiu personally led a battalion of about 3,000 troops to Huizhou Prefecture City first.

The arrival of these three thousand Ming troops made Li Yan feel relieved. Although it was just a vanguard camp, the total number of guards from the three thousand Ming troops in Huizhou Prefecture City and the young and strong people recruited was nearly 10,000. Even if tens of thousands of chaotic people attacked, they could not break through Huizhou Prefecture City.

Ren Jianxiu and Li Yan met and said some polite words. Ren Jianxiu asked Li Yan about the recent movements of the People's Army. Guishan County had been in the fall for many days, and Huizhou Prefecture, which was only a few dozen miles away, was safe and sound. Li Yan was confused, and Ren Jianxiu was also very confused.

"The rioters in Guishan County stayed in Guishan County after they captured the county town and had no other moves." Li Qi told Ren Jianxiu of the movements of the People's Army of Fangnan and the whole route.

"No action?" Ren Jianxiu showed a puzzled look.

"Sir Ren, this rioters in Guishan County are very unusual. They used artillery and muskets when attacking Guishan County. How could the rioters have firearms?" Li Yan said again.

"It's indeed extraordinary. There is no guard in Jieshi Guard. The strength of this rioters cannot be underestimated. I will lead this battalion vanguard army to station outside the city first, and wait for the other troops to arrive before entering Guishan County to destroy the enemy."

Ren Jianxiu revealed some combat plan to Li Yan. After all, Li Yan was the prefect of Huizhou Prefecture, and most of Ren Jianxiu's troops would gather in Huizhou Prefecture. With Li Yan's cooperation, it would save a lot of trouble.

In the late Ming Dynasty, civil servants were used to regulate military affairs, and they valued civil servants and neglected military officials. In many cases, civil servants looked down on military generals. However, Li Yan would not give Ren Jianxiu any trouble. Instead, he hoped that Ren Jianxiu would quickly lead the army to riot the people and wipe out the people.

Li Yan was the prefect of Huizhou Prefecture. Yong'an County, Haifeng County and Guishan County were captured by the rioters. All three counties fell, and the Ming army of Jieshiwei and one guard was gone. This was a big deal and Li Yan's big trouble.

Now that Li Yan is still the prefect of Huizhou Prefecture, Li Yan cannot be sure whether he will be dismissed from office after Ren Jianxiu led his army to encircle and suppress the rebellious people or ended the rebellious people.

After the meeting between Ren Jianxiu and Li Yan was over, Ren Jianxiu returned to the military camp and sent more spies to Guishan County to investigate the situation of the rioters. Everyone knew that this rioters were extraordinary. Ren Jianxiu would not lead a large army so casually to encircle and suppress them. Underestimating the enemy is a taboo.

After Ren Jianxiu arrived at Huizhou Prefecture City, the three thousand soldiers guarding Huizhou Prefecture City were transferred to Ren Jianxiu. The guards and young and strong families who were recruited were recruited. Even if the number of people reached thousands, Ren Jianxiu didn't care. It was worse than the new recruits, and it was easier to cause trouble when he went to the battlefield.

The three thousand soldiers and horses in Huizhou Prefecture City, the three thousand vanguard army brought by Ren Jianxiu, and three battalions of nearly 10,000 generals rushed to Huizhou Prefecture City to join the vanguard army. By then, Ren Jianxiu would have 15,000 soldiers and horses, half of which were guards and half recruiting soldiers.

The 15,000 troops were only part of the Ming army mobilized by Ren Jianxiu. The Huizhou Wei Longchuan Qianhu Station, Changle Qianhu Station, and Heyuan Qianhu Station, the three thousand houses, combined with about three thousand soldiers and horses, encircling the rioters from the north; the Chaozhou Wei located in Chaozhou Prefecture will also mobilize at least three thousand soldiers and horses to encircle the rioters from the east.

It can be said that in order to wipe out the People's Army, Ren Jianxiu mobilized a total of 21,000 troops. He had already had a lot of troops to encircle and suppress the rioters who had only plundered three counties, equivalent to one-fifth of the Ming army's strength in the entire Guangdong territory.

Chaozhou Wei and Guangzhou City are far away, and there are three counties controlled by the People's Army in the middle. They convey orders that they need to take a detour or go by sea in the past, which is relatively slow to mobilize.

Moreover, the People's Army of Hu Zhuang and All the Routes are currently active in the western part of Chaozhou Prefecture, and occasionally attack the county town, but more often they are clearing out the manors of the landlords. It would be fine if the landlords and their family ran away. If they didn't run away, they would just end up with the nest. Even if there were dozens or hundreds of guards in the manor, they would be far from being a match for the People's Army of Hu Zhuang and All the Routes.

Because of the plunder of Hu Zhuang and the People's Army in the western part of Chaozhou Prefecture, Chaozhou Guards were mobilizing their troops and preparing to encircle and suppress the Hu Zhuang and the People's Army in the west of Chaozhou Prefecture.

One day after the People's Army of Fangnan and the People's Army of Hu Zhuang and the People's Army of Hu Zhuang and the People's Army of Eastward, Wang Shengrong also led his troops northward. The main enemies were the Longchuan Qianhu House, Changle Qianhu House, Heyuan Qianhu House, Longchuan County, Changle County, and Heyuan County in Huizhou Guard were also the main targets of the People's Army of Wang Shengrong.

However, Longchuan County is located directly north of Yong'an County, Heyuan County is located northwest of Yong'an County, and Changle County is located northeast of Yong'an County, all over a hundred miles away.

What Wang Shengrong was most worried about was that he led his army to attack a county. The Ming army did not go to support it but attacked Yong'an County. The People's Army in Yong'an County only had one battalion of cold weapons troops, and the rest were new recruits, with weak strength and serious problems.

After careful discussion, Wang Shengrong, Gao Wei and Xiong Jian finally made a plan - to lead the enemy out.

The First Mixed Brigade of the People's Army led by Wang Shengrong, one battalion of firearms and two regiments of cold weapons. In addition, the first camp, female barracks, medical teams, etc., minus the remaining cold weapons troops, the number of troops that can be dispatched is close to 3,000.

With the firearms battalion, even when fighting against the Ming army of three thousand households head-on, Wang Shengrong was confident of defeating the enemy.

Therefore, in the plan formulated, the People's Army of Wang Shengrong and the People's Army of Wang Shengrong and the People's Army of Longchuan County should march northward to attract Ming troops in Heyuan County and Ming troops of Changle County to support. The three Ming troops together will save a lot of trouble for Wang Shengrong and the People's Army of Wang Shengrong.

On September 25, Wang Shengrong and the People's Army left Yong'an County and marched northward with great fanfare. Then they were known by Ming spies, who knew that the People's Army was going to attack Longchuan County.

From Yong'an County to Longchuan County, the People's Army can reach it in one and a half days. It was just one and a half days away. Wang Shengrong and the People's Army walked around for more than four days.

The scouts of the People's Army traveled to and from three counties and saw the Ming army in Heyuan County and the Ming army in Changle County rushing towards Longchuan County to support the Ming army in Longchuan County to resist the People's Army.

On September 30, on the day when Ren Jianxiu led a Ming army to Huizhou Prefecture City, Wang Shengrong and the People's Army had already converged with the Ming army in the south of Longchuan County.

"Can you fight?" Longchuan Qianhu asked the other two Qianhu.

"Fight! The enemy's troops are fewer than us, just a rioter, but can they still be our opponents? Defeat the rioters, all three of us will be promoted and made a fortune." Heyuan Qianhu replied affirmatively.

"Yes, fight." Changle Qianhu also agreed.

More than 3,000 Ming army fought against nearly 3,000 People's Army. Even if the People's Army is the so-called rioters and its strength is not strong, the three thousand households understand that if more than 3,000 Ming army wants to defeat nearly 3,000 people, its own side will suffer heavy losses.

However, the three thousand households didn't care. The only ones who died or injured were ordinary soldiers. In the eyes of thousands of households, the soldiers were like tenants who rented land by landlords, which was very cheap.
