Chapter 130: The Real Killer Feature
In less than 10 minutes, only more than 200 of the 1,500 cavalry of the Ming army successfully escaped from the range of firearms.
Even if they escaped from the range of the People's Army's firearms, the more than 200 Ming cavalry did not let go, because the cavalry of the 3rd Mixed Brigade was chasing and killing the Ming cavalry.
The cavalry of the nomadic tribes are basically good at cavalry archery, in order to deal with the nomadic tribe cavalry who are good at cavalry archery, the cavalry units of the border army of the Ming Dynasty are also good at cavalry archery, but the cavalry of the Ming army in other places is not very good at cavalry archery.
The cavalry of the People's Army, who was good at cavalry archery, pursued and killed the cavalry of the Ming army who were not good at cavalry archery and whose morale plummeted.
The only remaining cavalry of the Ming army still can't figure out how they launched an attack in the rear of the People's Army, but they were blocked by the People's Army's firearms troops, shouldn't the People's Army be fighting the Ming army? How could the strongest firearms troops be left to deal with them, the cavalry?
This is the defect of the inability to conduct rapid communication on the battlefield and the absence of telescopes, the cavalry of the Ming army did not know that the large army of the Ming army had been defeated, and still carried out their tasks, and was directly hit by the firearms unit of the 3rd Mixed Brigade, and now they were chased and killed by the cavalry of the 3rd Mixed Brigade.
"It's a pity that these war horses?"
Looking at the battlefield ahead, He Yan was happy that the troops successfully defeated the Ming cavalry, but seeing so many horses killed and wounded, He Yan was very distressed, this is all trophies, if there were not so many dead and injured horses, the cavalry unit of the third mixed brigade could be expanded into a regiment, and now it can only be expanded into a battalion.
After another while, Fang Nan came back with a small team of people.
"Teacher!" He Yan shouted, with some fanaticism on his face, He Yan rarely showed such a posture in front of his subordinates.
"The Grand Duke!" As soon as He Yan's shouting fell, others also shouted.
Fang Nan nodded to everyone, and then said to He Yan: "Guo Mian 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, first pursue the Ming army, then capture the city of Huizhou, and then march west to Guangzhou Mansion, 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, the People's Army was so weak three months ago, but now it has the potential to sweep the entire Guangdong.
After the excitement, He Yan hesitated and said, "Teacher, the Third Mixed Brigade doesn't go to support other places?" ”
"Leave the task of supporting other places to me, your task is to take the Third Mixed Brigade to take Guangzhou Mansion!"
"Yes, teacher, I will definitely lead the 3rd Mixed Brigade to take Guangzhou Mansion." He Yan assured.
"Without further ado, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go first."
"Teacher, have a nice trip......"
Watching Fang Nan and his party ride their horses to the north, after the figure disappeared completely, He Yan turned around and asked his subordinates about the changes ahead.
He Yan is very confident that the teacher will only bring a team of more than a dozen people to support other places, and this confidence comes from today's battle with Guo Mian's army.
22,000 People's Army against 25,000 Ming Army, even if the People's Army has five companies of firearms troops, how can I know that there are a large number of recruits in the 3rd Mixed Brigade.
With only five companies of firearms, the KPA could not defeat the enemy from a long distance, and in the end it was necessary to decide the outcome in close combat, but the 3rd Mixed Brigade, with a large number of recruits, could hardly be an opponent of the Ming army in close combat.
In this case, the third mixed brigade has won!
The reason for the victory is only known to very few people in the Third Mixed Brigade, it was the Metropolitan Governor Fang Nan who personally shot and killed the commander of the Ming army.
As for how the Metropolitan Governor killed Guo Mian, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, people who knew the matter had speculations in their hearts, and basically thought that the Metropolitan Governor used more powerful firearms to shoot Guo Mian, after all, the People's Army was equipped with much better firearms than the Ming Army, and it was not strange to come up with better firearms.
Since he can shoot Guo Mian at a long distance, then the Metropolitan Governor can also shoot and kill the commanders of the Ming army from a long distance when he goes to support other places, and the commander of the Ming army is dead, and then it is simple to defeat the Ming army from all walks of life.
As a few insiders thought, Fang Nan did shoot Guo Mian and other Ming army officers at a distance with more powerful firearms, causing chaos in the Ming army.
But the firearm used for decapitation is not something that Hutou Village can create.
When Guo Mian was shot, there were Ming troops within hundreds of meters around Guo Mian, and the straight-line distance between Fang Nan and Guo Mian was more than 1,500 meters.
Obviously, this firearm came from Fang Nan's previous life, and there were two rifles and three pistols from his previous life in Fang Nan's personal space. (See Chapter 2 for details)
Two rifles, one an automatic rifle and the other a semi-automatic anti-materiel sniper rifle, this sniper rifle has a caliber of up to 12.7 mm, a maximum range of 2,500 meters, and a maximum accuracy range of 1,850 meters.
Fang Nan was armed with such a sniper rifle, and on the mountain near the battlefield, he condescendingly shot Guo Mian, who was in the middle of the army, more than 1,000 meters away.
However, there are also two pity, the first is that there are too few bullets for sniper rifles, and even with the rapid development of science and technology under the leadership of Fang Nan, it will not be able to produce suitable bullets for decades.
The second is that such a decapitation tactic will be guarded against by the Ming army after being used a few times, at least the commander of the Ming army will no longer wear such conspicuous armor, which will be noticed at once.
In fact, the last time Ren Jianxiu's army attacked Guishan County, Fang Nan had the idea of shooting Ren Jianxiu, but in the end he didn't make a move, and the killer weapon remained in his hands.
In the second encirclement and suppression of the People's Army by the Ming Army, Fang Nan still used this killer weapon, and while the matter did not spread, Fang Nan wanted to quickly support the various departments of the People's Army and help the various departments of the People's Army defeat the Ming troops fighting against each other.
Basically, in the third war between the People's Army and the Ming Army, Fang Nan had no chance to make a move.
Fang Nan and his party rode their horses to the north, wanting to support the People's Army that was confronting the Huguang Ming Army in the border area between Huizhou and Shaozhou.
This chase did not stop until after the sun set, Guo Mian's army of 25,000 people, less than 3,000 escaped, and the rest of the Ming army was either killed or captured.
Nearly 3,000 people who escaped for their lives did not even dare to rest, and continued to run in the dark, in their opinion, Boluo County and Huizhou Mansion were not safe places, and once the army was defeated, the people's army would definitely attack these two cities, and only by escaping farther away could they save their lives.
