PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Yuan Xing".

After repeatedly confirming the authenticity of the information, Chi Erhan and others felt unprecedented pressure.

Originally, the three of them thought that although it was a hard battle to seize Xuyi and then hold on, it was not dangerous, because at any time, the army could return the same way, and although the strength of the Baoying garrison was not enough to attack, there was no problem in receiving them.

But now the situation has changed suddenly, if the Qing army cuts off the retreat, then he will become a lone army, the Baoying garrison is obviously not enough to attack the boundary of Fengyang Mansion to reinforce, and the rest of the garrison of Yangzhou Mansion is also in Jiangdu, and the distant water is afraid that it will not quench the thirst of the near.

And the two sworn young men in Hengyang Town explained that the righteous soldiers in the town organized a righteous army to stop the Qing army that arrived, leaving Chi Erhan and others speechless.

The Qing army that dared to make a detour of hundreds of miles was naturally cavalry, and it should be elite cavalry, with the civilians in the town, even if there were more people, I am afraid that they would only go to death.

After rewarding the young man who came to report the news, the three of them urgently discussed.

In the end, it was decided that Shi Kun and Huang Dahong would lead the troops to hold Xuyi City, and Chi Erhan would lead more than 800 soldiers who could ride horses to Hengyang Town to block the invading enemy.

Why is it more than 800? First, because the strength of the city was inferior to the attacking enemy, and second, in the Xuyi city that had just been captured, these war horses were collected.

From Xuyi to Hengyang, the distance is not far, and it takes half a day to ride a horse at most.

Chi Erhan and the three of them believed that as long as the number of Qing troops in a roundabout way was small, more than 800 people, they could completely block the enemy and defend their backs.

……。

People know how to adapt to the environment.

Liu Fang and Hengyang Zhen Qingzhuang are too.

After fighting a vicious battle, they finally realized that the enemy was not invincible, and began to introspect.

They are continuing to build crude firearms, summing up the gains and losses of the day, and improving their means of resistance.

Their progress has been rapid.

It's like the two sides of the enemy who are too different in strength, and the weaker side can improve faster and more, because they don't know anything in the first place.

For example, gunpowder mortars should be used intensively to be more powerful.

For example, the place where you will fall should be in a crowded place and on relatively steep terrain.

For example, if you can't stand up straight by smashing a rock, you can actually use a push to solve the problem.

Many times, people's creativity is forced out by desperate situations, because they want to live.

Early the next morning, Rocoduo, who had gathered more than 300 capable soldiers, brazenly launched a strong attack on the rebels on the mountain.

To his surprise, in just one night, the "rookies" on the mountain learned to fight, and they already knew how to protect themselves in battle while causing problems for the attackers.

There was a night of preparation, and the powder mortar, which was no longer there, reappeared.

And the archery skills that the Qing soldiers are good at have lost their goals.

After three attacks, three retreats, and the loss of more than twenty men, Rocodo became impatient, and he decided to find another way.

There is no limit to what wicked can do.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Manchurians, killing people is a manifestation of bravery, because they don't read and don't know how to write the word "benevolence"!

……。

He repelled three enemy attacks, but he did not suffer casualties as he did yesterday.

The young people on the mountain were excited and proud.

For no reason, the eyes that looked at Liu Fang were much gentler.

Liu Fang was also happy, he suddenly understood a truth, there is no real strong in this world, because the strong are always defeated by the weak, countless weak people.

It's really eye-popping that this illiterate commodity suddenly has a philosophical thought.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Come and see, where are these Tartars going?" Do what? ”

Many people cautiously poked their heads out to check, and Liu Fang was also watching.

Something is wrong, the Qing army under the mountain, there are more than 100 people on the war horse.

You don't need a war horse to attack, can a war horse go up the mountain? Liu put a big question mark on his head, he couldn't understand it.

couldn't understand it, and one person sneered: "Maybe the Tartars were scared by us and wanted to escape, right?" ”

There is really a market for this, and many people laughed out loud and echoed it, it seems that this is possible, right?

After all, yesterday and today, the casualties of the Qing army were not small, and it was reasonable that they could not resist retreating.

But the time of a pillar of incense passed, and when the more than 100 horsemen suddenly set out, the direction was eastward, everyone was stunned and couldn't laugh anymore.

Not only can I not laugh, but my eyes are blood-red, panicked, anxious, and confused, and I no longer have the confidence that Fang Cai has.

To the east, is the town of Hengyang, their home, their family and the land on which they live.

More than 100 wolf-like cavalry rushed into the town, what kind of result would be, everyone knew in their hearts, and it was precisely because they understood that they panicked, anxious, and chaotic!

When someone shouts, "I have to go home...... ”

Just like yesterday, someone followed Lao Zhang and shouted "Kill the Tartars", and countless "I have to go home" voices sounded.

Countless people threw down the guys in their hands and prepared to go down the mountain.

Liu was in a hurry, he knew that he couldn't go down the mountain, there were still a large number of Tartars guarding the mountain, and going down the mountain at this time was in the hands of the Tartars...... That's death!

"Can't go down!" Liu Dacheng shouted, "Do you imagine being shot by the Qing army with bows and arrows like yesterday? ”

There was some truth to this, and the noise began to quiet down.

But this can't solve the anxiety in the hearts of the young people, the direction their eyes are looking at, never deviates, Hengyang Town in the east, their home.

It's too close.

Especially for a cavalry, the town was too close.

When the first rays of fire and smoke appeared, the young men on the mountain were once again in confusion.

Although they could not hear the cries of their families, they could imagine what would happen, but they did not dare to think about it anymore.

They just want to ...... Go home.

Countless people began to rush down the mountain.

Liu Fang's shouting broke his throat, but it didn't work, and he couldn't think of a better way to stop this hellish tragedy.

The Qing soldiers under the mountain smiled.

Rocodo laughed too.

He even regretted that he should have done this yesterday, and he would not have lost so many troops. This group of people on the mountain is still a "rookie"!

The Qing soldiers shot arrows with flawless bows, and the young men fell under the arrows one by one, and they did not know life and death, like moths to a fire.

Liu Fang's eyes were torn apart with rage, and blood flowed down his face.

Liu Fang couldn't stop the young people, there were only a dozen people from the original inspection department around him, and half of them died yesterday.

He has always been reckless, but today he did not rush out in a rage and die with those young people, not because he was afraid of death, but now he knows it...... Value vs. no value.

The battlefield can teach people many things, such as the simplest and most complex - the choice and meaning of life and death.
