Cronstad ceded to the British, which means that most of the cities of the Orange Free State Republic fell into the hands of the British, which is also a helpless thing, in the British shelling, the Bronstad army suffered great damage, and some heavy machine guns were damaged, and the Bronstad army could not be destroyed by the British army like this, so they had no choice but to give up Kronstad.

After the withdrawal of the Brent army from Kronstad, part of the Brent army dispersed in the Orange Free State Republic, looking for an opportunity to harass the British, while the rest of the Brenville army, led by Louis Botha, withdrew to the Transvaal Republic and continued to resist the British.

At the headquarters of the Transvaal Republic, Louis Botha was reading a book in his hand.

"The phrase 'the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs us, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I pursue' expresses the essence of guerrilla warfare, and I don't know who wrote this 'Guerrilla Warfare,' and the person who wrote this 'Guerrilla Warfare' must have been a very famous military commander." Louis Botha thought to himself.

In the Brazzaville Army, Louis Botha is the best at guerrilla warfare, but Louis Botha's guerrilla warfare tactics are not worse than the tactics described in "Guerrilla Warfare", the two are not at all on the same level.

Previously, the Burundian army obtained some weapons and ammunition through trading, and the object of the transaction also gave the Burundian army a few copies of "Guerrilla Warfare", and said that the strength of the Burnese army was far weaker than that of the British army, and that guerrilla warfare should be used against the British army, so that the Buendian army could have hope of victory.

In this regard, the commander-in-chief of the Cloth army at that time, Joubert did not care, and threw "Guerrilla Warfare" directly to Louis Botha, who was good at guerrilla warfare, and after the Buenos army got the weapons and ammunition, Joubert planned a large-scale battle with the British army, beating the British with heavy machine guns, telling the British that the Boers were not easy to bully, and that the British needed to pay more if they wanted to conquer the Boers, which would make the British unbearable, and finally forced the British to stop fighting.

However, Joubert died, and before he died, Joubert realized how ridiculous his idea was, and finally handed over the army to Louis Botha, which meant that Louis Botha would use guerrilla warfare against the British, and perhaps the Boers would have a chance to defeat the British and win the final victory.

After returning to the area controlled by the Transvaal Republic, Louis Botha seized the time to study "Guerrilla Warfare" to improve his level of guerrilla warfare, and the remaining copies of "Guerrilla Warfare" were also distributed by Louis Botha to his officers to study together, Louis Botha also wanted all the officers in the Bovaville army to have a copy of "Guerrilla Warfare" in their hands, and then the Buennese army would rarely have a head-on confrontation with the British army, but would instead engage in guerrilla warfare and slowly drag the British to death.

On the last page of "Guerrilla Warfare," it is also written that guerrilla tactics should be based on the actual conditions in their respective regions, and that they should not blindly copy the contents of the books.

Deeply impressed by this, Louis Botha summoned the officers of the Boer army to discuss the methods of guerrilla warfare of the Boers.

The Burundi army has determined that the strength of the Burundi army cannot start a frontal confrontation with the British army, but turns into a guerrilla war, and for this reason, the Buenos army will withdraw the Budian army in the city that it still controls, break it into pieces, and form multiple guerrilla units, looking for opportunities to sneak attack the British.

With the remaining cloth army, it is difficult to resist the British army, and it will not be able to hold the city at all, but will be surrounded and annihilated by the British army, it is better to abandon the city and save the troops, so that there will be more opportunities in the future.

Then the army began to develop guerrilla tactics belonging to the Boers.

The Bu army has many war horses, and the soldiers of the Bu army are also good at horse archery, and the cavalry has better mobility, which is the characteristics of the guerrilla tactics of the Boers, using a small group of cavalry to find an opportunity to sneak attack the British army, and after success, they can quickly retreat on horseback, and the British army is difficult to pursue.

In June, De Witt, De Ray, Louis Botha, Jan Smortz, and James Herzog each led a guerrilla force of the Burunos Aires and began to disperse, some of which remained in the area controlled by the Burunos Aires, while others had already moved into the area controlled by the British, and even moved towards the British colonies further afield.

After the British captured Kronstad, the morale of the Boers plummeted due to successive defeats, and with Roberts's lenient promise, many members of the Boer People's Corps operating in the rear of the British army surrendered to the British, surrendered their weapons, and returned to their farms, leaving only a little more than 30,000 Boers still fighting.

On 24 May, after Lord Milner announced the British annexation of the Orange Free State at Bloemfontein and the annexation of Orange, the British intensified their offensive against the Transvaal Republic.

On 30 May, President Kruger of the Transvaal Republic left Pretoria, the capital of the Transvaal Republic, Roberts entered Johannesburg on 31 May and pretoria in the early morning of 5 June.

After the British army occupied all the cities of the Transvaal Republic, Roberts declared the British annexation of the Transvaal and declared the end of the war, and President Kruger was authorized by the exiled Transvaal government to arrive in Lorenço Marques, the capital of Portuguese Mozambique, and then Kruger went to Europe on the cruiser "Geldland" sent by Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands to ask for help.

After the British occupied all the cities of the Transvaal, Roberts's more than 30,000 troops stopped to recuperate, but the long supply line of the British army from Cape Town to Pretoria was attacked by the Boers who were still resisting, and the British army had begun to turn into guerrilla warfare, looking for opportunities to sneak up on the British army in a wide area.

In Johannesburg and Pretoria, the British thwarted a number of Boer riot attempts.

A month later, General Roberts left Pretoria and returned home to take over as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army, handing over command of the South African Army to Lord Kitchener and Lord Ian Hamilton as Chief of Staff. (Although the British army had suffered a lot of losses before, Roberts completed the task of occupying the Transvaal and Orange, and was promoted)

After Roberts left, the British army in South Africa fell into a helpless situation, the Boer guerrillas, giving full play to the strength of field cavalry and archery, attacked the British army's lines of communication, plundered the British army's supplies, and annihilated small British troops, but the British army could not find an effective way to deal with these guerrillas.

This Boer tactic reminded the British of resistance groups in other British colonies, which used similar tactics to keep the British busy but unable to completely eliminate them.

How to deal with the Boer partisans was a headache for Lord Kitchener.
