Zhangjiakou, the headquarters of the 5th Brigade.

"Report to the brigade commander, the Fan brothers are making a comeback and approaching Zhangjiakou, and the Fan brothers are accompanied by the remnants of the Ming army such as Lai Congxin, Yang Fu, and Wen Fangliang." The operational staff officer reported to Feng Yuanshan.

"What? They still dare to come. Feng Yuanshan said curiously, after a few days of fighting, most of these Ming troops have been wiped out and captured by the Tiance Army, but he didn't expect that he still had the courage to attack.

"Yes, brigade commander, the Ming army that came this time was wrapped in a large number of old, weak, women and children, with nearly 50,000 people."

……

"Bastard!"

Outside Zhangjiakou City, Feng Yuanshan looked at the overwhelming crowd and scolded angrily.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, the thieves of the Tiance Army will not give us a way to live, they will rob us of our food and clothing, and they will starve us to death, we will fight with them."

An old man with a wrinkled face shouted hoarsely, this old man should be not young, and there are no more teeth in his mouth.

"Fight with them."

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

…。

In the distance, a tidal stream of people spread along the west and east banks of the Qingshui River to Zhangjiakou City, flooding the official roads, flooding the hills, flooding the fields, and flooding some sparse forests and houses.

At the forefront were the ragged families of military families in the cities, some old and some young, all carrying tattered knives, guns and sticks, while walking in front of men were women, some with kitchen knives, wooden sticks, stones, rolling pins, dung forks, many with bare hands, some still holding children, and old people with crutches walking forward.

The remnants of the Ming army shrank behind the crowd of old, weak, women and children, and trembled forward.

The crowd shouted loudly as they walked, and for a while the crowd was in full swing.

The families of these military households were instigated by the officers of the acropolis, forts, and tuns, and these places had many mountains and little land, and the land was barren, especially in recent years, the weather was cold and the harvest was scarce, so business smuggling and collecting benefits was an important way for them to make a living, so the officers instigated, and the families of the military families were excited.

Especially in the war with the Tiance Army in the past few days, many men from other families died on the battlefield or were captured by the Tiance Army. For the families of these military families, it is undoubtedly like the sky is falling, and after the instigation of the officers, the people who can't survive also have inexplicable courage.

If it's a Tartar, these people don't dare to put a fart, but Tiance Army is an official army, we are the family members of officials and soldiers, why are you making trouble, what are you afraid of?

The crowd of black oppressors strode towards the position of the Tiance Army.

"Tiance army thieves, come on, fight the old lady here, the old lady is dead, and the man doesn't want to live anyway."

"The Tiance Army that kills a thousand knives, you have the ability to kill even women."

Some of the bigfoot women in the crowd were abusive and even crying.

In the position of the Fifth Brigade of the Tiance Army, many officers of the Tiance Army were angry.

"Damn, foolish man!"

"Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and today I finally saw it."

"The hateful Fan brothers, the hateful Lai Congxin, Yang Fu, and Wen Fangliang, expelling women and children, how is it different from the Tartars?"

Looking at the crowd getting closer and closer, Feng Yuanshan asked the instructor Qin Ankang and said, "Old Qin, my Tiance Army doesn't have a rule that you have to lay down your arms when facing women and children, right?" ”

Instructor Qin Ankang said: "The commander has a saying, the safety of the soldiers is always the first priority, if you can't protect yourself, how can you protect the people?"

According to the military law of our Tiance Army, as long as the opponent has a weapon and has an offensive behavior, or does not hold a weapon, but there is an offensive behavior, there is no limit to men, women, children, Han people, Hu people, Yi people, no Chinese, foreigners, all are enemies, can be damned! ”

Feng Yuanshan slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, then I'm going to give an order, Lao Qin, you can help me testify." ”

Qin Ankang nodded and said: "For specific details, I will make a register and report to the headquarters." ”

"Prepare for battle!" Feng Yuanshan issued an order: "Advance warning to disperse, if they turn a deaf ear, they can open fire immediately." ”

……

The mighty flow of people is still approaching, the Han dynasty is like this, all dynasties, officials and generals dare to do to the people, even to women and children, often cause an uproar, the martial arts are slightly better, if it is a civil official, impeachment like a cloud, ten out of ten is to lose the official position, and even go to the end of the prison.

Anyway, this trick is quite black, and ordinary people don't want to have such a stain on their resumes, killing good people and risking merit is a sneaky thing, but there are tens of thousands of people here.

Therefore, they were very relieved, and the officers and soldiers from all walks of life behind the large group of women, children, and old people were also very relieved, and while they were carrying out, they encouraged their wives, mothers, sisters, sisters, seven aunts and eight mothers-in-law in front of them, forming a chaotic and huge crowd.

"One last warning, the old and weak women and children disperse as soon as possible, and then move forward, at their own risk."

The tweeter is turned on to the maximum volume and continuously shouts to the opposite side.

"Go eat, don't be afraid!"

The women picked up rocks and clods and threw them at the opposite side, laughing and laughing.

"Tiance army thief, go back to your hometown!"

"Get out of here!"

Seeing the situation ahead, Feng Yuanshan said coldly: "Order to fire!" ”

"Tong, Tong, Tong!" Mortars fired one after another, and self-propelled howitzers were not used in this shelling.

Shells whistled and smashed into the crowd, explosions rang out, and for a time the crowd was filled with gunsmoke, firelight burst out, and flesh and blood flew sideways.

The crowd began to be in chaos, the old and weak women and children were frightened and stopped, sometimes women were even more fierce than men, and some women in the crowd shouted: "Sisters, rush, fight with them." ”

"Rush, fight with them!"

The women screamed and screamed and rushed like a tidal wave.

"Ready!"

"Aim...!"

The officers gave orders, and the soldiers of the Tiance Army were a little unbearable, such a scene was the first time they had encountered it.

"They are now our enemies, shoot!" The officer yelled.

"Smack, smack, smack!" Gunshots rang out, and more soldiers opened fire with their eyes closed.

The women screamed, groaned and fell to the ground, blood staining the ground.

The crowd rushed forward by inertia, and more fell in pools of blood, and the women rolled all over the ground, crying out in pain and helplessness.

Only then did the people behind realize that they had miscalculated, and the bloody reality woke everyone up, and the Tiance Army really dared to kill women. With a shout, people turned around and ran, driving the crowd into chaos and fleeing in a panic.

The Tiance Army only fired a few rounds before stopping firing, with the aim of dispersing the crowd, not killing them all.

But tens of thousands of people rushed to the pigs, most of these people were old and weak, women and children, not as strong as soldiers, so many more died in stampede accidents.
