In the border areas between Guangxi and Guangdong, more than 50,000 Ming troops and more than 40,000 people's troops have been gathered.

Among them, the Fucheng area of Wuzhou, Guangxi, gathered 30,000 Ming troops, personally commanded by Liao Yangzhou, the general soldier of Guangxi, and opposite the 30,000 Ming Army, was the third group army of the People's Army led by He Yan, with a total of more than 20,000 people.

The gap between the strength of the People's Army and the Ming Army is not small, and most of the 20,000 People's Army are new recruits, but He Yan is more confident that he can resist the 30,000 Guangxi Ming Army.

The firearms unit of the Third Group Army of the People's Army had a total of four infantry companies and three artillery battalions, all of which were not dispersed, and the Xiandeng unit had four regiments and the grenadier unit also had two regiments, and these troops were the strength of He Yan to resist the 30,000 Ming troops in Guangxi on the opposite side.

The main forces are concentrated here, but He Yan is not worried that the Ming army of Guangxi and other divisions will rush into Guangdong from other areas, and the people's army defending the western border of Guangdong, although it is not equipped with firearms troops, but the grenadier units of a regiment are divided into various units in companies or platoons, and with the cooperation of the grenadier troops, it is still no problem to resist the small Ming army, which is small in number.

Before Song Yingchang's army started the war with Wang Shengrong's army, Song Yingchang's military order had been sent to Guangxi, requiring the Guangxi Ming army to take the initiative to attack, try to contain the people's army, and prevent any people's army from coming to support Wang Shengrong's army.

After receiving Song Yingchang's military order, Liao Yangzhou, the chief soldier of Guangxi, was not satisfied and only contained the people's army on the opposite side, he thought about defeating the people's army on the opposite side, and smashed the people's army's nest before Song Yingchang's army, so that most of the credit for suppressing the thieves would be attributed to him, and promotion would become inevitable.

Almost when Song Yingchang's army was forced to retreat by Wang Shengrong's army, Liao Yangzhou led 30,000 Guangxi Ming troops to confront the 20,000 people's army led by He Yan in the border area between Guangxi and Guangdong.

On the battlefield, the chariots that appeared in Song Yingchang's army also appeared in the Liaoyang Prefecture army, and Liaoyangzhou and other Guangxi Ming army generals also wore the clothes of ordinary soldiers, and let the soldiers or personal guards stand in their clothes on the ships where they should stand.

In order to deal with the People's Army, Song Yingchang did not conceal all kinds of information about the People's Army, and also sent various countermeasures to the Ming Army.

"Beat the drums, attack!"

Liao Yangzhou gave an order, and as the war drums sounded, under the cover of the chariot, the Ming army slowly advanced.

Seeing that the Ming army moved, the people's army led by He Yan also moved.

When the distance between the two armies was less than 1,000 meters, the artillery of the People's Army and the Ming Army opened fire one after another, and solid shells smashed into the columns of the two armies, causing many casualties to the two armies.

When the distance between the two armies was less than 500 meters, the four infantry companies of the People's Army's firearms unit opened fire, but the Ming army, under the cover of the chariots, suffered fewer casualties, and did not have as many casualties as the artillery bombardment.

The distance between the two armies was rapidly approaching, and when the distance between the Liang army was less than 150 meters, the Ming army rushed to the front of the chariot and aimed the guns at the KPA and opened fire, but most of the lead bullets were blocked by the shields of the soldiers of the first army, and the casualties brought to the KPA were very, very small.

After another round of fire from the Ming army, the People's Army finally rushed in front of the Ming army, and the two armies were about to meet each other in a short battle.

At this moment, the grenadier unit of the KPA came into full swing!

Hundreds of grenades crossed a distance of more than 10 meters and fell into the ranks of the Ming army, and in a series of explosions, hundreds of Ming troops fell, and the blood shed by the Ming army had already stained the earth red.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Ming army had not reacted in the explosion, the first troops rushed forward and slashed the big knife and axe at the Ming army.

The first troops fought hard, and the grenadier troops kept throwing grenades at the front, and in a short period of time, the Ming army had killed and wounded thousands of people.

Seeing so many people dead, the Ming soldiers finally became frightened, collapsed, threw down their weapons and fled behind them, and the Yanling knives in the hands of the officers could not stop the soldiers from fleeing.

Seeing the rout of the Ming army, Liao Yangzhou's face changed greatly, he couldn't imagine how the Ming army, which was more numerous and stronger in melee combat, could be defeated by the enemy so quickly in close combat.

The Ming army was defeated in front, and under the impact of the fleeing Ming army, the entire Ming army was in chaos.

Feeling that this battle was no longer able to return to the sky, Liao Yangzhou immediately ordered a battalion of more than 3,000 Ming troops to step forward and break the rear, giving most of the Ming army time to retreat.

The battle between the Liaoyang Prefecture Army and He Yanjun was fought from morning to evening, and a battalion of more than 3,000 Ming troops did not stop He Yanjun for too long, and under the pursuit of He Yanjun, the Liaoyang Prefecture Army fled to the city of Wuzhou Prefecture, and He Yanjun stopped the pursuit and confronted the Ming Army outside the city of Wuzhou Prefecture.

After one day of fighting, the 30,000 Ming troops led by Liao Yangzhou retreated to the capital of Wuzhou, leaving only more than 17,000 people, and more than 10,000 Ming troops were killed and captured in the battle with the People's Army, and the number of casualties of the People's Army was only more than 3,000.

It can be said that at this time, the strength of He Yan's army and the Liaoyang Prefecture army was almost the same, and even the strength of He Yan's army exceeded that of the Liaoyang Prefecture army by a little, and more importantly, in the retreat, the artillery of the Liaoyang Prefecture army was thrown on the battlefield.

Just one battle with the People's Army shattered all the confidence of Liao Yangzhou, almost like the generals of Song Yingchang's army, Liao Yangzhou and other Ming army generals were very confident in defeating the small number of people's army, but they did not expect such a result, which made them unacceptable for a while.

Song Yingchang's army was okay, with more than 10,000 casualties, which was only one-seventh of Song Yingchang's army, while Liaoyangzhou's army had more than one-third of the casualties, and its morale was completely gone.

The Ming army hid in the city of Wuzhou, and the People's Army brought artillery to continuously bombard the city of Wuzhou, and under the shelling, the Ming soldiers could only cover their heads and hide with their bodies hidden, afraid of being hit by shells.

The People's Army's artillery bombardment supported all night, and the next day, the People's Army retreated, and He Yan had no idea of attacking the capital city of Wuzhou.

He Yan knew that there were more Ming troops in Wuzhou Fucheng, but there was no artillery, and the morale plummeted, and the People's Army was able to capture Wuzhou Fucheng, but the People's Army would also pay a heavy price.

There is no need to pay a huge price for the capture of a city, after all, the main task of the current People's Army is only to keep the Ming army out of the territory of the People's Army.

The First World War crippled the Liaoyang Prefecture army, and it would not invade Guangdong again in a short time, He Yan's goal had been achieved, and after scaring the Ming army through artillery bombardment, He Yan chose to withdraw the army.

Seeing the vicious thieves retreating, the other Ming troops in Liaoyang Prefecture and Wuzhou Mansion were relieved, they were all afraid of the People's Army, and if they continued to fight, more people would die, and no one wanted to continue fighting.

Of course, if the People's Army attacked the city, in order to survive, they could only resist desperately.
