The defeat of Yangzhou made He Gang unwilling in his heart, but the city was broken, he had the intention to kill the thief, and he was unable to return to the sky.

He Gang wanted to throw himself into the well, but was rescued by the defeated soldiers, rushed all the way to kill, and finally hid in this small courtyard.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty wanted to live in the Central Plains, and the small clan and the big clan had to rely on brutal killing to suppress the people in the south of the Yangtze River, so after Duoduo broke through Yangzhou, he ordered the slaughter of the city on the grounds that he did not listen to the invitation to surrender.

The killing continued in the city, and the compound where He Gang was located was not safe, and sooner or later it would be discovered by the Qing soldiers.

At this time, he looked at the more than fifty officers and soldiers who were guarding him and killed all the way, listening to the screams in the city, he slowly let go of the desire to seek death in his heart, and waited for the flame of revenge.

"My lord, a Qing soldier has entered the hospital!" An officer and soldier stood at the crack of the door, watching more than a dozen Qing soldiers bring five Han women into the courtyard and were about to commit violence, and immediately became angry.

When He Gang heard this, he hurriedly got off the bed, and before he walked to the door, he heard a burst of lewd laughter and the woman's begging for mercy, and his heart immediately burned with anger, and everyone in the officers and soldiers on the side was like this, and he couldn't help but clench the war knife in his hand.

He Gang originally thought of taking the fifty officers and soldiers in the room to look for an opportunity to go out of the city, but with the scene in front of him, he decided to give up the plan to go out of the city.

"Brute!" He Gang, as a civilian official, was also enraged by the atrocities of the Qing soldiers at this time, so he angrily took a war knife from the hands of the officers and soldiers on the side, kicked open the door with one kick, and shouted: "Kill all these animals!" ”

The officers and soldiers in the room received instructions, and the anger that they couldn't bear was immediately poured out, kicked the doors and windows, and killed them with their swords.

The group of Qing soldiers was surrounding several women and preparing to commit violence, many of them had already untied their belts, and their weapons and robbed baggage were also thrown aside.

In the face of the sudden Ming army, these people were suddenly shocked, lifted their trouser legs in a hurry, and picked up their swords to face the battle.

More than 50 Ming soldiers shouted angry attacks, naturally not a dozen Qing soldiers could deal with it in a hurry, and they were killed by the Ming army as soon as they fought.

In the screams, more than a dozen Qing soldiers were hacked to death by the Ming army in a panic, and the Ming army also paid the price of one dead and two wounded.

He Gang looked at the corpses on the ground, and looked at the five women who were huddled in a corner, trembling with fright, and hurriedly ordered: "Zhang Youde, you take them into the house, Dai Zhifan, you go and close the courtyard door, and the rest will do it together to take the corpses of the Qing soldiers away." ”

When the Ming army heard this, they immediately took action, several women were obviously from a big family in Yangzhou, and they had slowly recovered from fear at this time, they understood that it was the Ming army in front of them who rescued them from the sea of suffering, so under the leadership of the woman, they bowed slightly to He Gang, and then followed the soldier named Zhang Youde, and walked to the house.

Yangzhou City is full of robbers and murder of Qing soldiers, the corpses of Qing soldiers in the courtyard will be found at any time, and the rest of the people hurriedly dragged the corpses to the backyard.

The soldier named Dai Zhifan hurriedly went to close the gate, but as soon as he reached the door, an arrow hit him, and he was not in a hurry to dodge, and was immediately hit by an arrow.

"Ah~" Dai Zhifan screamed and his eyeballs cracked, but he endured the heart-rending pain, suddenly closed the courtyard door, and then turned his back against the courtyard door, and roared loudly: "My lord! There are clear soldiers! ”

A group of Ming soldiers who were busy cleaning up the corpses hurriedly picked up their weapons and rushed to the door.

"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~"

At this moment, another rain of arrows hit outside the courtyard, and several Ming soldiers were immediately shot to the ground.

When He Gang saw this, his face couldn't help but be cold, and he hurriedly asked everyone to pick up the wooden planks and baskets scattered in the courtyard to block the rain of arrows.

The feather arrows thrown in from outside the courtyard, He Gang could already judge that there were no less than 100 Qing troops outside the courtyard, and as they were exposed, there would inevitably be Qing soldiers coming to encircle and suppress them.

He Gang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't hesitate to die, but he suffered the five women he had just saved, and he was about to fall into the clutches of the Qing soldiers.

At this time, he looked at the Ming army beside him and said to them: "We are trapped here, sooner or later it will be broken by the Qing soldiers, the Qing soldiers are cruel, we have no possibility of survival, it is better to take advantage of the fact that there are not many Qing troops outside the courtyard, fight hard, and fight one by one!" ”

Yangzhou City has been broken, the city is full of Qing troops, and the Ming army in the courtyard also understands that they have fallen to death, if they do not resist, they will be slaughtered by the Qing army, and resistance can also pull a few beasts to die together, and suddenly said in unison with grief and indignation: "We are willing to kill the captives together with the adults!" ”

At that moment, the Ming army withstood the rain of arrows, leaned on both sides of the courtyard, and Dai Zhifan, who was holding the gate, also retreated to He Gang's side, and he pulled out the feather arrow from his right eye, took the eyeball, and threw it aside.

Everyone saw that he was in a cold sweat, but they were also touched by his courage and bravery, and they suddenly felt a sense of pride.

The door was creaked by the Qing soldiers outside the courtyard, He Gang asked people to pick the door bolt, and the Qing soldiers slammed hard, but they didn't expect the door to open widely, and they suddenly lost their balance and fell a large piece.

"Kill!" He Gang and the others immediately slashed their knives and hacked a few people to death in an instant.

The Qing soldiers outside the courtyard also reacted at this time, and hurriedly rushed towards the courtyard gate with knives and guns, and the two sides fought a bloody battle at the door.

The Ming army blocked the door, although there were many Qing soldiers, but they could not show it, but as some of the Qing soldiers climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, the disadvantages of He Gang and others slowly appeared.

They fought and retreated, and were forced out of the room step by step by the Qing army from the courtyard gate.

The five women in the room, who had just recovered and thought they had been saved, suddenly became frightened again, and several of them had begun to sob.

"Miss, what should we do!" A woman cried.

The woman known as Miss looked at the Ming army who was constantly hacked to death outside the door, and then looked at the several women who were trembling around her, and suddenly showed a miserable smile on her face: "Qiu Xiang, we can't let that group of beasts touch our body, Miss will take you to death, okay?" ”

"Miss!" When the women heard this, they burst into tears.

The young lady suddenly stood up, walked to the bed, took off the cover, and tore it with all her might.

Seeing this, the crying women also hurriedly came over to help.

After all, He Gang was a civilian official, and he couldn't fight the Qing soldiers who had been in battle for a long time, and at first there were Ming troops who protected him from time to time, but as the Ming army became fewer and fewer, his form suddenly became dangerous.

He held the sword to block the left and the right, looking embarrassed, and finally couldn't beat the Qing soldiers in front of him, and was kicked away.

He Gang's body was kicked directly into the house, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, he endured a huge pain in his chest, and wanted to support his body and fight again, but suddenly saw the scene in front of him, and the whole person was stunned.

In the room, five ropes torn from sheets hung from the beams, and below were the swaying bodies of five young women.

For a while, He Gang burst into tears, and his heart was full of grief and indignation. As a scholar, he turned the anger and unwillingness in his heart into the first foul sentence in his life: "God-damned Jiannu!" ”

He roared and picked up his knife, and frantically rushed towards the Qing soldiers again.
