Chapter 132: Beheading Again
"The gates are open, and the enemy will flee!"
"Shoot!"
In the darkness of the night, the KPA soldiers who were watching the city took out their short guns and fired two shots at the people who came out of the city gate.
At the same time, because of the warning from the soldiers monitoring the city, the large army of the People's Army, which was a little farther away from the city, soon learned about the enemy's escape and quickly gathered troops to chase after them.
The people who came out of the east gate of Jieyang County ran the farthest, and soon they were hundreds of meters away from the city, and as they got farther and farther away from the city, and did not find the enemy to intercept them, many people breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they had escaped with their lives.
At this moment, on the south side of the road to the east of Jieyang County, three infantry companies of the Second Mixed Brigade Firearms Unit of the People's Army suddenly appeared, and they quickly stood in attack formation, holding tiger head guns and firing at the Ming troops who had escaped from Jieyang County.
"There is an ambush, run!"
In the face of the attack of the firearms unit of the People's Army, the Ming army, which was still in some formations, suddenly became chaotic, and some people continued to run to the east, while others turned to the north.
Under the cover of darkness, the Ming army could not find that the People's Army that was ambushing them was only a few hundred people, and if they rushed over with thousands of people, it was not unreasonable to destroy the main force of the People's Army, which was only a few hundred people.
However, the Ming army who fled in a hurry had no morale, how dare they brave the rain of bullets and bullets of the People's Army to rush up and fight.
In Jieyang County, the last wave of people who fled had just left the city, and the People's Army caught up.
"You can't run away, throw down your weapons, and don't kill those who descend!" The pursuing KPA fighters shouted.
Hearing the shouts of the KPA soldiers, some people were so frightened that they threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground, while others were so frightened that they threw away all the heavy things on their bodies and ran forward desperately, thinking that as long as they ran past the others, they would be able to escape with their lives.
When the KPA caught up with the Ming army, which was unwilling to surrender, the fight began.
……
The Second Mixed Brigade of the People's Army continued to pursue the Ming army until noon the next day, without breakfast, and continued to pursue and kill the Ming army, the soldiers did not have much physical strength left, and they could no longer continue to pursue and kill the fleeing Ming army.
If a Ming army suddenly comes out at this time, the number of people is not large, only a thousand people, it is possible to defeat the people's army.
For most of the night and half a day's pursuit, the Second Mixed Brigade killed and captured nearly 3,000 Ming troops, and the Second Mixed Brigade itself suffered many casualties, more than 500 people, including those who were accidentally injured by their own people.
Simply clean up the dead Ming troops on the road, and then escort the prisoners back to the team, after eating, the soldiers of the second mixed brigade need to take a good rest, and the county town of Jieyang, which was abandoned by the Ming army, was easily captured by the second mixed brigade.
Hu Zhuang has already determined the next target of the Second Mixed Brigade - Chaozhou Fucheng!
A little further in time, in the area bordering Huizhou and Shaozhou, the People's Army led by Xiong Jian gathered and took the initiative to attack the Ming army from Huguang in front.
Seeing that the People's Army was going to fight, the Ming Army naturally would not retreat, and in view of the sharp firearms equipped by the People's Army, the Ming Army divided all the artillery into three or four groups and built several artillery positions, even if one or two artillery positions were attacked, the other artillery positions could be built to bombard the People's Army.
At the front of the Ming army's array, there are more than 20 carts, which were originally only used by the Ming army to transport grain, grass and ammunition, and were simply transformed into chariots by the Ming army yesterday, mainly to install large shields and thick wooden planks in front of the chariots to resist the lead bullets fired by the tiger head gun.
The Ming army pushed the chariot forward, most of the Ming army hid behind the chariot, under the cover of the chariot, the tiger head gun could not do much damage to the Ming army behind the chariot, as long as the Ming army rushed over and engaged in close combat with the people's army, the victory would belong to the Ming army.
Seeing the situation on the battlefield, Fang Nan felt that the commander of this Ming army was not an ordinary person, if he hadn't come over, Xiong Jian's People's Army might really be 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, and only a dead enemy is a good enemy.
Raising the rifle in his hand, he aimed at Cui Zhengxin, who was surrounded by guards and officers in the middle of the Ming army.
Bang!
Cui Zhengxin, thousands of kilometers away, died!
"Hang the red flag!"
After killing the person who looked most like the commander of the Ming army, Fang Nan commanded the soldiers beside him, and several soldiers quickly unfurled a big red flag, although the People's Army was far away from here, as long as you looked carefully, you could find this red flag and know that the commander of the Ming army had died.
"Attack!"
Xiong Jian gave an order, and the People's Army immediately accelerated its speed, and at this time, the news of Cui Zhengxin's death in the Ming army had not yet spread, and the Ming army was advancing at a normal speed.
After killing Cui Zhengxin, Fang Nan's attack did not end, and the scope was constantly looking for people in the Ming army who were dressed prominently, anyone wearing gorgeous armor must be a big official in the Ming army, and it was definitely right to kill it, especially around the first target killed, Fang Nan fired two more shots and killed three people directly.
With the death of one big official after another, the advance of the Ming army slowed down, and soon became stagnant again, and the news of the commander's death has spread throughout the army, especially the saying that "thieves cast demons to kill adults", which made many Ming soldiers fearful.
"The thieves are rushing over, are we still fighting?"
"The Lord was killed by the thief's demon spell, and we have to avenge the Lord of Justice."
"What kind of fight, the adults are dead, don't run yet, stay and wait for death."
Because Cui Zhengxin and other officers were killed, the Ming army was in chaos, some people wanted to continue the offensive to avenge Cui Zhengxin, and some people thought that the commanders were dead and wanted to retreat after losing the battle, but the People's Army was rapidly approaching.
"Firearms unit fire!"
The firearms units of the People's Army, which had been transferred to the two flanks, fired at the Ming army diagonally, and the Ming army had chariots to resist on the front, but not on the side, and dozens or hundreds of Ming troops fell on the battlefield under the attack of the People's Army firearms units.
"The thieves are coming, run."
"If you don't want to die, run."
In the face of the rushing People's Army, the Ming army finally broke and fled.
"Kill!"
"Throw down your weapon, don't kill whoever descends!"
KPA soldiers shouted in pursuit of the fleeing Ming army.
Seeing the situation on the battlefield, Xiong Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief, from the time he led the army to fight until now, it was the first time he encountered such a powerful Ming army, if there was no Dadu Governor, not to mention defeating this Ming army, it was even possible to be defeated by this Ming army, the People's Army, which had won a hundred battles, was actually defeated by him Xiong Jian, it was really a shame.
