The battle between the firearms troops of the Third Mixed Brigade against the Ming cavalry units came and went quickly. In less than ten minutes, only more than 200 cavalry of the Ming cavalry successfully escaped from the range of the firearms.

Even if they escaped from the range of the People's Armed Forces, the more than 200 Ming cavalry were not relieved, because the cavalry of the Third Mixed Brigade were chasing Ming cavalry.

The cavalry of the nomadic tribes are basically good at riding and shooting. In order to deal with the cavalry of the nomadic tribes who are good at riding and shooting, the cavalry of the border troops of the Ming Dynasty were also relatively good at riding and shooting, but the Ming cavalry in other places was not very good at riding and shooting.

The People's Army cavalry who are good at riding and shooting chased and killed the Ming cavalry who are not good at riding and shooting and their morale has plummeted. It is simply easy to capture.

The remaining Ming cavalry still doesn't understand why they launched an attack in the rear of the People's Army but were blocked by the People's Army's firearms. Shouldn't the People's Army be fighting with the Ming army? How can they keep the strongest firearms troops to deal with these cavalry?

This is the flaw of not being able to communicate quickly on the battlefield and not having telescopes. The Ming cavalry had no idea that the Ming army had been defeated and was still carrying out their own tasks. They were directly damaged by the firearms troops of the Third Mixed Brigade, and are now being chased by the cavalry of the Third Mixed Brigade.

"What a pity these war horses are there?"

Looking at the battlefield ahead, He Yan was happy that his troops successfully defeated the Ming cavalry, but when he saw so many war horses were killed and injured, He Yan felt very distressed. These were all spoils. If there were not so many war horses, the cavalry units of the Third Mixed Brigade could be expanded into regiments, but now they can only be expanded into battalions.

After a while, Fang Nan came back with a small team of people.

"Teacher!" He Yan shouted, with a little fanaticism on his face. He Yan rarely showed such a posture in front of his subordinates.

"Grandmaster!" As soon as He Yan's shouting fell, the others also shouted.

Fang Nan nodded to everyone, and then said to He Yan: "Guo Cheng is dead, the main force of the Ming army has been defeated, and the cavalry troops have also been defeated. We have won this battle, but our battle is not over yet. We first pursue the Ming army's defeated troops, then capture Huizhou Prefecture City, and then march westward to Guangzhou Prefecture, and then occupy the entire territory of Guangdong!"

Listening to Fang Nan's words, He Yan and the officers and soldiers of the People's Army around him were full of excitement. Three months ago, the People's Army was so weak, but now it is in an attempt to sweep the entire Guangdong.

After being excited, He Yan hesitated and said, "Teacher, won't the Third Mixed Brigade go to support other places?"

"Trust me the task of supporting other places. Your mission is to take the third mixed brigade to take the Guangzhou Prefecture!"

"Yes, teacher, I will definitely lead the Third Mixed Brigade to take Guangzhou Prefecture." He Yan promised.

"No further ado, I'll leave here for you."

"Teacher, the journey is smooth..."

Seeing Fang Nan and his group heading north, after their figure completely disappeared, He Yan turned around and asked his subordinates about the changes ahead.

He Yan was very confident that the teacher only brought a team of more than a dozen people to support other places. This confidence came from today's battle with Guo Cheng's army.

The 22,000 People's Army vs. the 25,000 Ming Army. Even if the People's Army has five companies of firearms, He Yan also knows that there are a large number of new recruits in the Third Mixed Brigade.

With just five companies of firearms, the People's Army was unable to defeat the enemy at a long distance, and finally had to go to close combat to decide the outcome. However, the Third Mixed Brigade, with a large number of new recruits, was difficult to be an opponent of the Ming army in close combat.

In this case, the third mixed tour won!

Only a few people in the Third Mixed Brigade knew the reason for the victory. It was the Grand Governor Fang Nan who took action himself to kill the Ming army commander. Without the Ming army, chaos arose, and only then could they be defeated by the Third Mixed Brigade in a short time.

As for how the Grand Commander killed Guo Cheng, although he had not seen it with his own eyes, those who knew about it had speculations in their hearts. Basically, they thought that the Grand Commander used a more powerful firearm to shoot Guo Cheng. After all, the People's Army was equipped with muskets much better than the Ming army, and it was not surprising that they would take out better muskets.

Since he can shoot Guo Cheng at a long distance, the Grand Commander can also shoot and kill the commanders of various Ming troops from a long distance. If the commander of the Ming army dies, it will be easier to defeat the Ming troops again.

As a few insiders thought, Fang Nan did use his more powerful firearms to shoot Guo Cheng and other Ming army officers to kill him, causing chaos in the Ming army.

However, this firearm used for beheading was not something that Hutouzhai could create.

When Guo Cheng was shot and killed, there were Ming troops within hundreds of meters around Guo Cheng, and the straight-line distance between Fang Nan and Guo Cheng was more than 1,500 meters. At such a long distance, it was possible to fire shells to such a long distance with heavy artillery. No matter how powerful the muskets in this era were, they could not have such a long range or such high accuracy.

Obviously, this firearm comes from Fang Nan's previous life. Fang Nan's portable space includes two rifles and three pistols from his previous life. (See Chapter 2 for details)

There are two rifles, one is an automatic rifle and the other is a semi-automatic anti-equipment sniper rifle. The caliber of this sniper rifle is as high as 12.7 mm, with a maximum range of 2,500 meters and a maximum accurate range of 1,850 meters.

Fang Nan held such a sniper rifle and shot Guo Ze, who was in the army more than a thousand meters away, on the mountain near the battlefield.

However, there are two regrets. The first is that there are too few bullets in sniper rifles. Even under the leadership of Fangnan, the technology development can not be produced for decades.

The second is that this beheading tactic will be guarded by the Ming army after several times of use. At least the commander of the Ming army will no longer wear such conspicuous armor, which will make people notice it all at once.

In fact, when Ren Jianxiu's army attacked Guishan County last time, Fang Nan had the idea of ​​shooting Ren Jianxiu, but in the end he did not take action, leaving the killer weapon in his hand.

During the Ming army's second encirclement and suppression of the People's Army, Fang Nan still used this killer weapon. While the matter was not spread, Fang Nan should quickly support the various departments of the People's Army and help the various units of the People's Army defeat the Ming army.

Basically, in the third war between the People's Army and the Ming Army, Fang Nan had no chance to take action.

Fang Nan and his group rode their horses to the north, hoping to support a unit of the People's Army that confronted the Ming army in Huguang in the area bordering Huizhou Prefecture and Shaozhou Prefecture. On this side, He Yan led the Third Mixed Brigade to continuously pursue the fleeing Ming army.

The pursuit did not stop until the sun set. Guo Ze's army was 25,000, and less than 3,000 escaped. The remaining Ming army was either killed or captured.

Nearly three thousand people who escaped to their lives did not even dare to rest, and continued to run in the dark. In their opinion, Boluo County and Huizhou Prefecture were not safe places. Once the army was defeated, the People's Army would definitely attack these two cities. Only by escaping further can one save its lives.
