433 Heartbreak (I)
When Chen Longzheng arrived at Dahudong Village with his troops, it was already a mess, there were dead bodies everywhere, it seemed that there were at least 100 people, including old people and even children, all of them were lying in pools of blood, improvised weapons and farm tools such as wooden sticks, shovels, nails and rakes were scattered on the ground, and several houses in the village were burning.
When Liu Xiaoliu, who led the way, saw this, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried.
"Ma Wendong! You don't want to die!! Yes!!! ”
Seeing him crying sadly, Chen Longzheng also felt a faint pain in his heart, and the soldiers of the Ming army were also full of righteous indignation, eager to find the violent thieves to fight to the death with them, and avenge the compatriots who died here, Chen Longzheng squatted down and patted Liu Xiaoliu's shoulder, and said: "Xiaoliu, don't be sad, there are only more than 100 corpses here, there should be more people who have not died, and I don't see those thugs here, where did they go?" ”
Liu Xiaoliu wiped his face, looked around, and said dejectedly: "There are mountains all around, and it is convenient for Tibetans in the mountains, they must have gone to the mountains to take refuge, but I don't know which mountain it is......"
After that, Liu Xiaoliu cried again, Chen Longzheng frowned tightly and looked around at the mountains that he faintly saw, and it was also a big head, he only had less than three hundred soldiers and horses, and only when they got together did they have attack power and combat effectiveness, and they could not be dispersed, and the musket team under Xiao Ruxun was at least five hundred people in a formation when fighting, and more often they directly sent five hundred people in a line column, and when they fired, they were powerful, but there were very few who hit the target.
His soldiers and horses, which are less than 300 men, cannot be divided into troops to look for them, and if they can't find their target, it will be a very difficult thing.
"But how is this good?"
Chen Longzheng slapped his thigh.
"Six...... Primary Six ......"
In frustration, Liu Xiaoliu seemed to have suddenly heard something, and when he raised his head, he glanced around in a panic.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Longzheng hurriedly asked, and Liu Xiaoliu immediately said: "I heard someone shouting me just now, someone shouting Xiaoliu, sir, someone is not dead, and someone is still alive!" Right here! ”
Chen Longzheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately ordered the soldiers to search on the spot, and soon found the source of the sound.
A strong man was lying on the ground and shaking his mouth weakly, his stomach was hit by lead bullets, the entire abdominal cavity was broken, and the intestines were blown out, making people unbearable, but Liu Xiaoliu didn't care, pounced and held the strong man's hand.
"Fourth brother! Fourth brother! How are you? You okay? How are you? You...... Don't worry, don't move, I'll ask Mr. Chen to take you to the boat immediately, there is our Ming doctor on the boat, and he will definitely be able to save you! I'm sure I'll save you, don't be afraid, don't move! Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen! This is my fourth brother, and he's still alive! He's alive! ”
Seeing Liu Xiaoliu's ecstatic look, Chen Longzheng really couldn't bear to say that this man was no longer saved, he was hit in the stomach by lead bullets, and his intestines were broken and exposed, and it was a miracle that he could survive until now, and it was impossible to save him.
Xiao Ruxun told him that the lethality of lead bullet is not very good, but poison, the fire poison of gunpowder plus the lead poison of lead bullet, this thing is a poison weapon, and he used this to deal with the rebels when he was in the northwest.
Few of the rebels died on the spot, and a few days later they went to the rebel camp, which was full of dead people who had been hit by lead bullets, and if they had been hit by lead bullets in a certain part of the body, the best way to avoid death was to cut off the wounded limbs.
And the person in front of him is not saved, and the Da Luo Immortal may not be able to save him.
"Six...... Six ......"
The strong man lay on the ground, pulled Liu Xiaoliu's clothes, and said these things in his mouth, but the voice was too small, Liu Xiaoliu could only put his ear to the strong man's mouth, and heard the very subtle word "Xishan".
It turned out that he went to Xishan, Liu Xiaoliu suddenly realized, looked up in the direction of Xishan, Xishan is a must-go place for hunters to hunt in the village, there are many prey, the mountain road is familiar, and there is a water source on the mountain, if you want to avoid Ma Wendong's pursuit, going to Xishan is the best choice, that's right!
As soon as Liu Xiaoliu turned his head, he shouted at Chen Longzheng: "Mr. Chen! My fourth brother said that the big guy went to Xishan to hide! They're all in West Hill for sure! Ma Wendong's bastard must also be in Xishan! Let's hurry to the West Mountain! Also, sir, my fourth brother is ......"
Liu Xiaoliu didn't finish speaking, he felt that his hand was loose, and when he turned his head, he saw that the strong man's hand had fallen to the ground, and when he looked at his face again, his eyes were closed, and he was no longer alive, but there was a sense of peace.
"Fourth Brother !!!"
Liu Xiaoliu threw himself on the strong man's chest and cried bitterly, Chen Longzheng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the sadness in his heart, and called a chief.
"You take ten people here to collect their corpses, and then they will be stationed on the spot, and when the official returns, these corpses will be handed over to their relatives to dispose of."
The chief immediately agreed.
"No!"
"The rest of the people, save people with this official!"
"No!"
The cries of the Ming soldiers shook the sky.
Chen Longzheng walked to Liu Xiaoliu's side and said, "Xiaoliu, people can't be resurrected after death, don't be too sad, take us to Xishan immediately, there are more people waiting for us to rescue!" ”
Liu Xiaoliu stopped crying when he heard this, got up from the ground with a twitch, wiped away his tears, nodded vigorously, gritted his teeth and picked up a nail rake from the ground, and said, "Sir, follow me!" ”
After that, Liu Xiaoliu buried his head and ran hard, Chen Longzheng followed the Ming army all the way, rushed to the foot of the West Mountain, heard the faint sound of gunfire, and then realized that the situation was not good, so he added his pace into the mountain.
The situation is indeed not good, although the villagers are numerous, they have no weapons in their hands, not even many iron products, and a few knives and guns are not of great use in front of the muskets of Ma Wendong and others' escorts.
The bows and crossbows in the hands of more than a dozen hunters could not save the overall situation, so they slightly hindered their progress, a large number of men, women and children seriously delayed the speed of the villagers' escape, and the team composed of young and strong people could only fight with Ma Wendong with their lives.
At the same time as the Ming army and the Spanish army were fighting, the villagers also began to resist Ma Wendong's oppression under the leadership of several leading strong men, trying to fight a bloody way to join the Ming army, and invited the Ming army to support them and defeat Ma Wendong.
But they underestimated Ma Wendong's ruthlessness and the lethality of his subordinate escorts, and they didn't have a few good muskets in their hands, but in the end, there was one, and the power of a shot was really not to be underestimated.
Coupled with the fact that they have enough bows and crossbows and knives and guns in their hands, the villagers fell into an absolute disadvantage as soon as they fought, and they fought with wooden sticks and knives and guns, and they couldn't fight, although the villagers were very brave, but they didn't hold on for a while, and after dozens of young men and women died in battle, they began to flee, men, women and children were in a mess, and Ma Wendong's people took the opportunity to kill a large number of villagers.
