Chapter 357: The Overseers Are Afraid of Death

Death, everyone is afraid.

People who can really see death as home, except that they are really discouraged, otherwise the rest are just emboldening themselves and deceiving others.

The nature of all things is to seek good fortune and avoid evil. The ancients said: Ants are still reluctant to survive. That's pretty much it.

Death is feared.

These Qing soldiers were not heroes, nor did they have lofty ideas. The reason why they rushed to the battlefield was not only because they had to do it as soldiers, but also because they had to do it.

But today, the danger lies far greater than the temptation. If you continue to rush forward, you will not only get nothing, but you will take your own life.

No one wants to die, let alone a meaningless death for themselves, and no one wants to.

These Qing soldiers were not people with a strong will to fight in the first place, because those who had a strong will to fight had long since died.

The reason why they went to the battlefield was only because they were caught up by the cavalry behind them with swords.

"Smack... Bang bang bang bang..."

The gunshots in front of us continued to ring.

Continuing to rush is definitely a dead end. Even if it is not killed by the explosives planted by the anti-thieves, the anti-thieves' muskets must be killed.

The Overseer behind him, although also holding machetes in their hands, stood there murderously and drove away.

However, this is not the first time they have faced the Warlords.

If the Warlords could kill them, they would dare to kill them. Then these people would have died in Jiujiang and Jiangning, and they would not have survived until now.

However, if they dare to continue to rush towards the thieves, the thieves will definitely do their best to kill them all.

Although these Qing soldiers also want to be heroes, they don't want to die like this, and they die so inexplicably, and their families may not even get a trace of benefit.

"If you don't fight, I won't fight either..."

"Me too, I don't want to die yet, I don't want to die like this..."

"I'm going home, I'm going home to my parents..."

……

Seeing that someone threw a knife and fled, the surrounding green battalion soldiers also seemed to be unloaded, and they threw their knives and fled...

Although before leaving, those generals said viciously, as if they were serious. But it's not once or twice that they face this kind of thing!

If the cavalry of the Overseer behind them really dared to kill them all, they would not mind throwing themselves into the thieves and fighting with these cavalrymen.

As for the rout being beheaded, there will definitely be a few people who will be singled out and beheaded, depending on who is so unlucky.

"Huh... Phew..."

The bullets of the bandit army continued to fly, flying over the ears of some hesitant Qing soldiers.

"Smack..."

"Ahh

Some of the Qing troops who continued to move forward were constantly hit, or died upside down or sat on the ground wailing.

It's a tragic situation

In many cases, these Qing soldiers felt that there was so much time in their lives.

But at this time, they feel that time is so short. Especially every minute and every second of life, I experienced someone falling to the ground and dying.

There really wasn't much time left for them to make a decision, because they didn't know if the bullets of the bandit army would hit their bodies in the next second.

"Withdraw, withdraw, I won't fight anymore, whoever loves death will go to death..." Another Qing soldier couldn't stand the pressure, threw the saber in his hand to the ground, and turned around and fled.

"Don't fight, don't fight, everyone don't want to die again..."

"Defeated, defeated, can't be beaten, hurry up and run..."

In order to be able to punish the people, some of the people who threw their knives and fled kept shouting and running back.

At first it was one or two people, then three, five, seven, eight, and then dozens, hundreds, and then dozens or hundreds.

Soon, the battlefield of the Qing army's vanguard was polarized, with some running forward and some constantly running backward.

Gradually, the Qing troops who were still running forward also turned around one after another, and kept running back, constantly colliding with the green battalion soldiers who were rushing forward behind.

"Smack... Bang bang bang bang..."

The muskets of the bandit army still rang out like fried beans. A thick white smoke of gunpowder had covered the position of the bandit army that was shooting.

Although the occasional mountain wind blows, the smoke is huge.

The smoke that was blown away filled the surrounding mountains, but it still failed to blow away, but instead made the whole Ma'anshan look smoky, adding a mysterious color.

Although the muskets of the bandit army still sound constantly, as long as you listen carefully, you will find that the gunshots of the bandit army are also changing.

The sound changed from dense and fast at the beginning, and slowly changed to a lot more sparse.

This was due to the fact that nearly half a cup of tea had passed, and the bandit army in the first low wall had begun to heat up the barrels of the muskets with continuous and rapid shooting.

If you only shoot for a short time in the back, you can also use the method of wrapping a wet towel to dissipate heat.

But now the war is undecided, so they can only replace the bandit army that has been too hot to fight by changing the guard.

In the middle of this and second time, the sound of gunfire naturally became a lot more sparse.

It's just that at this time, the Qing army, which was frightened by the appearance of landmines, was bent on retreating, and was in no mood to pay attention to these changes.

With the rising mortality rate of the Qing army within 30 zhang of the defense line of the bandit army, no Qing army was willing to rush forward at this moment. And those who threw their knives and fled, while fleeing, kept shouting: "Defeated, defeated..."

As a result, more of the Green Battalion soldiers who rushed forward also turned their heads and fled desperately. Even before the handover of the change of guard of the anti-bandit army was completed, the Qing army had already been defeated.

The rout suddenly became out of control, and even the Overseers who followed behind each formation did not react.

Soon, the Qing army's soldiers, who had already rushed within 30 zhang of the bandit army, quickly retreated 60 zhang, and then the soldiers of the entire Qing army's forward battalion continued to retreat.

Originally, the bandit army had already killed and injured thousands of Qing troops in this rapid free fire of nearly half a cup of tea, which was already deeply stimulating them. And the appearance of this mine is undoubtedly the last straw that crushes them.

It's not that the Warlords don't want to suppress them, but they really can't suppress them. Because in this short period of time, the muskets of the bandit army have already filled nearly two formations or even nearly three teams of people in the Qing army.

And among them, many of them were killed, and it was the Overseers who followed behind each team.

Seeing that there are many people who die meaninglessly like this, the overseers are also afraid of death.
