"The city gate is open, the enemy is about to escape!"

"Shoot quickly!"

The People's Army soldiers who were surveillance at the city nearby took out their short guns and fired two shots at the person coming out of the city gate. With the light of fire, the sound of the guns quickly spread.

The people who came out of Jieyang County knew that they had been discovered and fled eastward quickly. At the same time, because the soldiers monitoring the city warned, the People's Army troops, who were a little far away from the city, quickly learned about the enemy's escape and quickly gathered their troops to chase them.

People who came out of the east gate of Jieyang County ran the farthest and soon had hundreds of meters away from the city. As they got further and further away from the city and did not find any enemy blocking it, many people breathed a sigh of relief and thought they had escaped.

At this moment, on the south side of the east road towards Jieyang County, three infantry companies of the People's Army's Second Mixed Brigade Firearms Force suddenly appeared. They quickly stood up and attacked the formation, holding tiger-headed guns to open fire at the Ming army that escaped from Jieyang County. In the dark night, a round of lead ejection was shot out, and nearly a hundred Ming troops were hit, either dead or injured.

"There is an ambush, run!"

Faced with the attack of the People's Arms, the Ming army, which was originally in some formation, suddenly became chaotic. Some people continued to run to the east, and some people turned to the north.

Under the cover of the darkness, the Ming army could not find that the People's Army was ambushing them only a few hundred people. If thousands of them rushed over, it would be quite possible to destroy the main force of the People's Army, which had only a few hundred people.

However, the Ming army, who fled in a hurry, had no morale. How could he dare to rush forward to fight in the rain of bullets from the People's Army?

In Jieyang County, the last wave of people who had fled out of the city had just left the city, and the People's Army chased after him.

"You can't escape, throw down your weapons, and the surrenderers will not kill them!" the pursuing People's Army soldiers shouted.

Hearing the shouts of the People's Army soldiers, some people were so scared that they threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground, while others were afraid to throw away all the heavy things on their bodies and ran forward desperately, thinking in their hearts that as long as they ran past others, they would be able to escape.

When the People's Army caught up with the Ming army who was unwilling to surrender, the fight began.

...

The Second Mixed Brigade of the People's Army pursued the Ming army until noon the next day. He did not eat breakfast and continued to chase the Ming army. The soldiers did not have much physical strength left and could no longer continue to chase and kill the fleeing Ming army.

If a Ming army suddenly emerged at this time, there would be no need to be too many people, just one thousand people, and it would be possible to defeat the People's Army.

For most of the night and half a day of pursuit, the Second Mixed Brigade killed nearly 3,000 Ming army prisoners. The Second Mixed Brigade also suffered many casualties, more than 500 people, including those who were accidentally injured by their own people.

The Ming army simply cleared the dead on the road and then escorted the prisoners back to the team. After dinner, the soldiers of the Second Mixed Brigade needed a good rest. The Second Mixed Brigade easily captured the Jieyang County town, which was abandoned by the Ming army.

Hu Zhuang has determined the next target of the Second Mixed Brigade - Chaozhou Fucheng!

As time goes by a little further, the People's Army led by Xiong Jian gathered together in the area bordering Huizhou Prefecture and Shaozhou Prefecture and took the initiative to attack the Ming army from Huguang ahead.

Seeing that the People's Army was going to fight, the Ming army would naturally not retreat. In response to the sharp firearms equipped by the People's Army, the Ming army divided all artillery into three or four groups and built several artillery positions. Even if one or two artillery positions were attacked, other artillery positions could be constructed and bombarded the People's Army.

At the forefront of the Ming army's array were more than twenty large chariots. Originally, they were only used by the Ming army to transport food, grass and ammunition. Yesterday, the Ming army simply transformed them into chariots, mainly to install large shields, thick wooden boards, etc. on the front of the chariots to resist the lead bullets shot from the tiger-headed spear.

The Ming army pushed the chariot forward, and most of the Ming army hid behind the chariot. Under the cover of the chariot, the tiger-headed spear could not cause much damage to the Ming army behind the chariot. As long as the Ming army rushed over to fight with the People's Army in close combat, the victory would belong to the Ming army.

Seeing the situation on the battlefield, Fang Nan felt that the commander of the Ming army was not an ordinary person. If he had not come, Xiong Jian and the People's Army would have been defeated by the Ming army.

But it's useless now. No matter how powerful the commander of the Ming army is, he is still an enemy. Only the dead enemy is a good enemy.

He raised the rifle in his hand and aimed at Cui Zhengxin, who was surrounded by the guards and officers in the Ming army.

Bang!

Cui Zhengxin, a thousand meters away, died!

"Hang the red flag!"

After killing the man who looked the most like the commander of the Ming army, Fang Nan ordered the soldiers beside him, and several soldiers quickly spread a big red flag. Although the People's Army was far away from here, as long as you look carefully, you can find the red flag and know that the commander of the Ming army was dead.

"attack!"

With Xiong Jian's order, the People's Army immediately accelerated its progress. At this time, the news of Cui Zhengxin's death in the Ming army had not yet spread, and the Ming army was moving at a normal speed.

After killing Cui Zhengxin, Fang Nan's attack did not end. He kept looking for people in the Ming army with prominent clothes in the scope. Anyone wearing gorgeous armor must be a high-ranking official in the Ming army. It is definitely true to kill it, especially around the first target that was killed. Fang Nan fired two more shots and killed three people directly.

As one high-ranking official after another died, the Ming army slowed down and soon became stagnant. The news of the death of the commander had spread throughout the army, especially the saying that "thieves used demonic magic to kill the adults", which made many Ming soldiers even more frightened.

"The thief rushed over, are we still fighting?"

"The thief was killed by the thief who used demon magic. We want to avenge you."

"What are you fighting? The adults are dead. I won't run away yet, so I'll stay for death."

Because Cui Zhengxin and other officers died, the Ming army became in chaos. Some people wanted to continue attacking to avenge Cui Zhengxin, while others believed that the commander was all dead and wanted to retreat. However, the People's Army was approaching quickly.

"The firearms troops opened fire!"

The People's Arms Firearms troops that had been transferred to both wings opened fire at the Ming army diagonally. There were chariots on the front of the Ming army, but there were no on the side. Dozens and hundreds of Ming troops fell on the battlefield under the attack of the People's Arms Firearms troops.

"The thief is calling, run away."

"If you don't want to die, run away."

Facing the People's Army that rushed up, the Ming army finally fled.

"kill!"

"Drop down your weapons quickly, and those who surrender will not kill them!"

The People's Army soldiers shouted to chase and kill the fleeing Ming army.
