On the third day of August, the Qing army fell into Ansu, and Zheng Yanren, the county governor of Linqing, was martyred with his wife. Teaching: Lingshou Geng Sanlin also died.

On the fifth day of August, the Qing army entered the territory of Fanjiazhuang.

The soldiers of the first and third squads of the first company of the second battalion of the Xuanfeng Regiment are all veterans, and they have all participated in the battle of Ru 0zhou in the eighth year of Chongzhen, and they have all killed thieves and seen blood. Li Zhi equipped the two squads with binoculars and war horses, and asked them to arrange them thirty miles north of Fanjiazhuang to always be on the alert for Tartars entering the country.

On the fifth day of the eighth lunar month, the first and third squads patrolled north of Fanjiazhuang and encountered the Qing army.

They encountered not only the Qing army, but also a group of civilians who were captured by the Qing army. Before they could see the Qing army clearly, they were startled by the earth-shattering cries. The soldiers rode up to a high place and saw an outrageous scene.

Wielding machetes and leather whips, more than 20 Qing troops drove a group of ragged Ming civilians across the plain and drove them westward. There were three or four hundred of those people, and I don't know which state or county they were. It may be that the state and county where they live were breached by the Tartars, and in the process of fleeing, they encountered the Tartars, so they fell into the hands of this group of Tartars.

Tartar sieges were often relentless, and they would slaughter the city in the event of fierce resistance. The people who were breached could only save their lives if they fled.

It's a pity that this group of people still encountered Tartars on the way to escape.

There were men and women among the people, and some women and children were still holding their children, crying and running. The old people who couldn't run fell down from time to time, some could get up and continue running after struggling on the ground a few times, and some could not get up again when they fell to the ground, and lay on the ground forever.

The children who lacked physical strength gradually lost their ability to run, and one of them fell behind. When a tartar saw this backward child, he came up with a knife.

Blood splattered, and the child was slashed in the neck, and the blood spurted more than a meter high, and he fell in a pool of blood.

The Tartar who had killed him with a single sword, laughed, raised his blood-stained saber and shouted loudly.

One of the women in the crowd of refugees saw this and cried loudly, and she staggered to the back of the crowd to walk to the child's body.

The Tartar next to him whipped the woman's face, directly whipping the woman's face to the flesh and knocking her to the ground.

A man in the crowd couldn't stand such a scene anymore and howled loudly. He made his way through the fleeing crowd and rushed towards the murderous tartar without hesitation, seeking revenge for his child.

But before he could take two steps, a heavily armored Tartar rushed next to him. The Tartar wielded a long saber and slashed at the man's back. The man let out a scream and fell to the ground like a sandbag, never to get up again.

The Tartars killed the two men, and their spirits became even more excited, and they screamed and drove the people westward. But the scene of the Tartars killing two civilians frightened the fleeing people. The people did not know whether the Tartars were going to kill them or drive them away, and fearing that they would be killed by the Tartars if they ran further west, they scattered and fled south.

Seeing that the fleeing Ming people were scattered, the Tartars rushed to the southernmost side on horseback with a shout, and cut down at the people who ran ahead.

A shirtless man was chased by an unarmored tartar, stabbed in the back of the heart, spitting blood from his mouth, and fell to the ground screaming.

A woman with a child in her arms was overtaken by a tartar in cotton armor, slashed in the back, and fell to the ground with a pop. The one-and-a-half-year-old child in her arms was slammed to the ground, probably bruised, and let out a terrible cry.

The tartar in cotton armor grinned and drove the horses away, letting them trample the wailing baby on the ground. The heavy hooves of the war horse slammed into the baby's body, until the child's flesh and blood were blurred, and he could not cry.

More than 20 Tartars killed more than a dozen people in a row, and it was only then that the people who had scattered to the south were frightened, and the panicked people were regrouped and driven to the west.

Seeing such a tragic scene, the soldiers of the two squads of the Election Forward Regiment had blood-red eyes.

It is said that life in troubled times is as cheap as dogs, but when did the Chinese people suffer such a massacre?

The soldier shouted: "Squad leader, let's go up and fight these Tartars!" ”

"Squad Leader Yao, let's go up and kill these Tartars!"

"Squad Leader Yao, we saved this group of people!"

The commander of these two squads was Yao Changle, the squad leader of the first squad, who put down the binoculars and groaned for a while, and looked at the squad leader of the third squad. Seeing that the squad leader of the third squad was also angry, Yao Changle nodded and said, "Catch one or two alive and go back, and our patrol mission will be considered a meritorious service." Let's go! ”

Sixteen soldiers made up their minds, loaded their rifles, and rode to the tartars.

The scouts rode a hundred meters, slowed their horses three hundred and fifty meters from the Tartar, and slowly moved closer to the Tartar. Tartar saw Yao Changle's team and shouted. Dozens of Tartars howled loudly in Manchu, and finally left five Tartars to guard the people, and sent twenty-four men to kill the scouts.

Those Tartars are used to killing Ming soldiers, and they are very trusted. Usually, even hundreds of Ming soldiers will be washed away when they encounter these Tartars, where do they put these small groups of Ming soldiers of sixteen people in their eyes? They swung their swords with their teeth and claws, increasing their speed little by little.

Seeing the Tartars coming, the scouts jumped off their horses and crouched on the ground to aim at the enemy.

The distance is three hundred meters, two hundred and fifty meters, two hundred meters.

Yao Changle shouted loudly: "All aimed!" Put them a hundred paces and shoot again! ”

A hundred steps is one hundred and fifty meters, and it is more accurate to put the enemy to one hundred and fifty meters. The scouts held their breath and took aim at the galloping Tartars, ready to shoot.

One hundred and eighty meters, one hundred and sixty meters, one hundred and fifty meters!

Yao Changle shouted loudly: "Fire!" ”

Sixteen rifles spat out tongues of fire, spewing conical Minnie bullets out of their barrels and charging at great speed towards the Tartars a hundred paces away. The first salvo, a sharp bullet that rotated at high speed, hit the enemy with thirteen rounds.

Ten of those Tartars were "foot armor" in the Qing army, wearing cotton armor with iron plates embedded in them. But where can these cotton armors stop the high-speed spinning Mini bullets? The iron piece embedded in the cotton armor was immediately pierced by Mini's bullet. Mini made a hole in the armor and plunged headlong into the body beneath the armor, spinning and shattering the organs underneath the skin.

Five infantry armor was hit by bullets, fell off their horses with screams, fell hard to the ground, and soon lost their breath.

There were five Tartars who wore no armor or only uninlaid iron cotton armor, and they had no power to resist before Mini's bullets. The three "followers" were hit in the body by Mini's bullets, and their internal organs were crushed by the bullets, and they immediately lost their combat effectiveness and fell off their horses.

Nine of these twenty-four Tartars were elite "vests" of the Tartars, wearing heavy armor. Three vests were hit in the body by Minnie's rifles. However, these vests wore two layers of armor, with a layer of chain mail underneath the cotton armor embedded with iron plates. At a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, Mini's bullet weakened after passing through the two layers of armor, and did not immediately shoot the three vests, but only caused minor injuries to the three vests.

The three vests were wounded, their faces became even more hideous, and they howled loudly.

Two bullets did not hit people, but hit the horses, and one of the horses fell to the ground and convulsed, pressing one of the vests on his back under the horse. Another horse was wounded, and the man stood up and threw one of his infantry armor behind the horse.

The horses and men who fell to the ground in front caused confusion in the back tartars, and a horse in infantry did not have time to turn its head and tripped over the corpse in front of it, and the horse lost its front hooves and fell to the ground, breaking the vest on its back half to death.

The Tartars, who were thrown off by their horses, also temporarily lost their combat effectiveness.

The Tartars, who had been invincible just now, had been half crippled by the riflemen at once.
