Chapter 358: Don't Run You
The sound of gunfire continued, and the smoke of gunpowder that permeated the sky above the bandit army also intensified.
Because the sound of gunfire was noisy in the ears, and the smoke of gunpowder obscured the view. Therefore, at this time, the soldiers of the bandit army who shot at the first low wall did not know that the Qing army had begun to rout.
While the Qing army continued to break and flee, the bandit army was also constantly speeding up the work of changing guards. Because this front seems to be very strong, but no one can say when the Qing army may break through.
They are safe only when the barbed wire in front is still there. So they had to shoot desperately, and they were only safe if they secured the barbed wire.
Soon, the work of changing the guard of the anti-bandit army was completed in an orderly manner. And the people who survived the first two offensive phalanxes of the Qing army also returned to within 60 zhang of the defensive line of the bandit army in the continuous rout.
The green battalion soldiers on the southwest road of the Qing army were divided into six offensive formations, and each formation was separated by a distance of about 40 zhang.
The green battalion soldiers who fled back from the first two formations, which were within 60 zhang of the defense line of the bandit army at this time, were already behind the third formation of the Qing army's green battalion to attack Ma'anshan.
The third offensive formation of the Qing army's green battalion had already been violently attacked by the muskets of the bandit army at the very beginning, and in a few moments, many people fell.
Under the influence of the green battalion soldiers who fled back from the previous two formations, they had no will to fight at this time, so they turned around and fled.
"Run, everyone run away, the thieves are coming..."
"Anyway, the killing is coming, if you don't want to die, run away, there are already a lot of dead people in front..."
"Defeated, the Qing army is defeated and flees, and those who want to live flee quickly..."
……
The bullets fired by the bandit army kept flying in the ears.
At this moment, all kinds of negative information about the defeat of the Qing army continued to pour out from the mouths of the fleeing people. In the third offensive formation of the Qing army's green battalion, no one was willing to stand there at this time and wonder whether this fact was true.
I didn't see the figure of the bandit army attacking, but the bullets flying over were constantly shooting and killing the people who stayed here.
"Smack..."
A bullet struck a Green Battalion soldier who wanted to move on.
I saw that a bloody hole was punched in his belly on the right side, and the bullet passed through his body and flew out.
At this moment, blood poured out instantly. Before the Green Battalion could scream, the Green Battalion fainted in pain. In the wide wound, a small half of the intestine flowed out.
"Gross..."
Another green battalion soldier who witnessed all this couldn't stand this bloody scene, and immediately vomited with a churning stomach.
In that piece of eroded vomit, there was even a faint display of pickles that he had not had time to digest during his noon meal.
"Ahh
At this moment, without the slightest doubt, he threw the knife in his hand forward, and then turned and fled with those who had fled.
The strangeness of the three green battalion soldiers in front of them naturally attracted the attention of the fourth green battalion formation. However, with a distance of forty zhang, it is only a few breaths of time for a runner.
In this short period of time, it was not enough for the supervision team of the fourth offensive formation of the Qing army's green battalion to deal with it.
Even, many of the people in the fourth offensive formation of the Green Battalion also turned around and ran backwards when they saw that the front had been defeated.
"Stop, you all stop, do you want to die? Quickly turn around and rush forward, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu's knife for being unkind. Seeing the people in their own formation who had turned around and ran back and forth, the overseers of the fourth formation drew their waist knives one after another, and said viciously to those who were about to flee.
"Your Excellency, you have also seen it, the front has been defeated, what can we do if we rush forward, please get out of the way and let us escape quickly, leaving the brothers a way to live!" Although they also held sabers in their hands, when facing the people of the overseer, these green battalion soldiers who were about to flee were unwilling to meet them, so they had to stand in front of them and plead bitterly.
"Don't talk so much nonsense to Lao Tzu, the order Lao Tzu got is to watch you rush forward, if you don't rush forward, Lao Tzu is derelict in his duty. In that case, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind to you. The general of the warring force unceremoniously rejected them.
During the time when these people were talking, the people who were defeated in the first three formations suddenly rushed into the formation of the fourth formation of the Qing army's green battalion.
The green battalion soldiers who were originally in the fourth team were still a little hesitant to escape with these routs. But when they saw those who fled and were still hit by bullets fired by the bandits, the tragic death made them no longer hesitate.
"Run... Hurry up and run, the thieves are coming..."
"Defeated... If you're defeated, run quickly, it's too late to run again..."
……
In the fleeing crowd, the shouts and shouts of the Qing army's defeat were still coming.
"Stop, stop, what do you look like, hurry up and roll me back to the battlefield, if you don't go back, don't blame Lao Tzu for cutting you on the spot." At this time, the general of the fourth formation stopped several people who had fled from the first three formations, and shouted and cursed.
"Get out, hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu, don't talk to Lao Tzu here, Lao Tzu has more than 2,000 people, and now there are less than 100 people left. What else do you want? Don't stop blocking Lao Tzu's way here, provoking Lao Tzu, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind to you, Lao Tzu's knife doesn't matter if you are some bullshit warlord. The rout who was blocked by the road, holding a knife in his hand, his eyes were red, looked at the general of the warlord and said viciously.
"Okay, Lao Tzu now wants to see what you guys are capable of, you can be polite to us, brothers, give it to me and cut them." The general of the Overseer, who was threatened by a rout, couldn't help but roar in anger.
"Yes..."
Several of the soldiers beside the general of this overseer team immediately raised their swords and stepped forward, ready to engage those routs who dared to speak disrespectfully to their own lords.
"Smack..."
The sound of a bullet hitting something was heard.
In an instant, flesh and blood flew sideways.
The general of the Overseer team, who was still shouting angrily just now, fell to the ground and died with a bloody face, leaving the people around him with a face full of confusion.
Suddenly, the rout who had been stopped felt a pain in his left earlobe, and when he reached out and touched it, blood flowed out.
It turned out to be a bullet that grazed his earlobe and hit the right cheek of the Warlord general.
"Haha... Now I know it's wrong, let you stop me, let you not run..."
