Lord Li Yutang was not born to be a person with all five poisons, and it would definitely not work if he could mix with the commander of the canal defense battalion without some real materials. Master Li has fought and suppressed bandits. But since the year of Gengzi, Lord Li's whole person has collapsed. The strength of the Eight-Nation Alliance and the rise of Japan stimulated many Manchu officials to a certain extent their desire to work hard. But for Lord Li Yutang, he felt that the whole world had collapsed. After the revival of Tongzhi, the Manchu Qing Dynasty accumulated a lot of family foundations, and the First Sino-Japanese War and the Gengzi Incident made these family backgrounds pale and ridiculous. It was also Lord Li who used to feel that the Manchus had regained their glory, but suddenly saw that the Manchus were defeated again and again, and even lost their underwear. This psychological change completely destroyed the person.

He used to drink occasionally, and he was not addicted to pleasure. After order was restored in Hebei, Li Yutang plunged into the life of flowers and wine, and there was no other pursuit. The original officer, who was not a bad guy and a capable officer, completely disappeared from the world.

After Pang Zi's horse team came over from the other side of the road, Master Li didn't forget his military literacy back then, he actually thought of the same as Pang Zi. The enemy must definitely divide the cavalry to cut off the infantry and then charge repeatedly. The result of this is absolutely the collapse of the infantry on all fronts. So Master Li gave an order to the sedan chair man neatly, "Run back!" ”

One soldier will be a nest of bears, not to mention that the officers and soldiers of the canal defense battalion have no combat ability. Master Li gave the order to flee, and the bandits on the opposite side also released a gun, and the officers and soldiers at the forefront immediately turned around and ran. When Pang Zi's cavalry began to charge, the canal defense camp completely collapsed on the main road. Many officers and men were a little reluctant to flee at first, but the rumbling sound of more than 200 cavalrymen galloping on horseback, the muskets in the hands of the bandits with their faces covered, and the long knives like wheels wielding in the hands of the leader of the bandits ruthlessly deprived those officers and men who still had a little will to fight of their courage.

Although Pang Zi looked down on the canal defense battalion, the other party was an official army. His brother, though reliable, is not the kind of tried and tested warrior. The collapse of the defense camp was really a big surprise to him. But since the horse team has already begun to rush, there is no way to stop. Chai Qingguo once warned Pang Zi that either he didn't rush, or there was only one person left who had to continue to rush forward. The horse team is not infantry, it is not so easy to regroup, and people shout and neigh, and they cannot effectively transmit orders.

Seeing that the defense camp began to flee, Pang Zi couldn't care so much, so he urged the horses to speed up.

If the so-called defeat is like a mountain, if the escape is only forced at first, but when you run and watch the enemy's horse team catch up after you, the psychological collapse will be even more rapid. Soon, the formation of the canal defense camp was like grazing sheep.

Pang Zi likes to learn martial arts, and when he was fighting under Uncle Jing Tingbin, Chai Qingguo, a group of like-minded brothers, was together, and everyone had a lot of friends. When fighting on horseback, when slashing people, especially when chasing and killing like this, the most effective move is to swing the long knife, swing the knife to the left, the target is the enemy's neck, and when the horse rushes forward, take the long knife back and cut it to the right. Although I knew very well in my heart that it was best not to kill the defense battalion too much this time. But riding on the galloping horse, looking at the enemy running in front of him, Pang Zi only felt that his blood was boiling, he couldn't control himself anymore, the long knife poked out to the left, and cut the neck of the battalion soldier in front of him on the left.

Blood gushed out from the severed arteries, and bloody breath spurted straight into Pang Zi's nostrils. This is a smell that he hasn't smelled for a long time, and Pang Zi only feels that the blood that has been surging in his body is flowing more rapidly. The high fighting spirit did not become more exciting, on the contrary, Pang Zi became calm in an instant. All doubts and considerations for the future were thrown out of the clouds by him, and there was only one thought left in Pang Zi's heart now, to destroy all the enemies he could see in front of him.

Pang Zi's long knife swept to the right, and the sharp blade slashed directly into the throat of an enemy, who froze in place as if he had been immobilized. After Pang Zi's long knife was drawn, he didn't have time to cover the wound with his hand. Pang Zi didn't see more of the enemy's performance, and Pang Tianshuo's horses, which rushed up after Pang Zi, directly knocked down the officers and soldiers of the defense battalion from behind. Next, Pang Zi had already rushed into more enemies. has already killed two people, Pang Zizai can't care so much, he roared angrily, "Brothers, kill them all!" ”

Regardless of whether the brothers behind him heard this roar, Pang Zi raised his long knife high and continued to slash towards the enemy. Maybe it was because of the roar of Pang Zi, maybe someone saw the slain companion, maybe it was just the natural reaction when the enemy caught up, and the crowd of people who fled from the canal defense camp were shouted hysterically when they were terrified to the extreme.

Chen Tianhua listened to the reports of the members of the peasant association with a solemn face, these honest peasants had never really seen a war, and they did not know how to fight, so these reports were full of all kinds of exclamations, all kinds of admiration that could not grasp the key point at all. Fortunately, Chen Tianhua is also knowledgeable, and after asking a few points one by one, he can also roughly make up the overall situation.

Pang Zi and the others completely defeated the canal defense camp with a single charge, and the canal defense camp that broke and fled suffered heavy casualties. But Pang Zi only made a charge to hold the team, and did not continue the pursuit. So at least half of the officers and men of the defense battalion escaped for their lives. After cleaning up the battlefield, Pang Zi led the team to Gaojiazhai.

Most of the faces of the members of the peasant union were excited, and the remaining half were faintly afraid. After Uncle Jing Tingbin rebelled that year, the Beiyang Army bloodily suppressed it in Xingtai. This was only a few years ago, and now that Pang Zi has done such a big thing, it would be inconceivable if the officials and troops did not come to suppress it. Although the peasant association did not participate in Pang Zi's dart game, it has such a deep relationship with Pang Zi that if it is said that it can be completely disconnected, the members of the peasant association themselves will not believe it.

"Uncle Jing, please call a few officers." Chen Tianhua said.

When the people went out, Chen Tianhua closed his eyes and sighed deeply. If it had been before, when Chen Tianhua heard about this kind of thing, he would first be excited, and then he would have to join Pang Zi's team no matter what. Now, however, Chen Tianhua found that his first concern was not to fight the Manchus, but to consider the livelihood of the peasant unions. This change really made Chen Tianhua feel incredible. He has long since changed from the "revolutionary" who thinks about "big things" all day long to the "director Chen of the peasant association" who now pays attention to trivial things all day long.

Chen Tianhua is also unclear whether this change is good or bad, and the change in position leads to a change in the point of concern. When Chen Tianhua is no longer a person who only wants the people to contribute to the revolution, when Chen Tianhua believes that the purpose of the revolution is to make the people of the whole world live a good life. He no longer has that feeling of "frivolity". Thousands of families and tens of thousands of people who have joined the Gaojiazhai Peasant Association, Chen Tianhua has obligations and responsibilities to them. When the lives of tens of thousands of people were put in Chen Tianhua's heart, he only felt an indescribable heaviness.

It was different from the bitterness and heaviness of hesitation when I didn't know how to carry out the revolution in China. The heaviness of the present is not the result. Although Chen Tianhua couldn't say clearly who was the enemy, who was the comrade-in-arms, and who was the friend, the known information made this young man who was known for his literary talent feel a thousand things.

What should be done to ensure that the people of the peasant association can protect their own interests to the greatest extent, and what should be done to ensure the survival of the peasant association, which has effectively improved the livelihood of the people. These are far beyond Chen Tianhua's existing capabilities.

"What would he do if Wen Qing was here?" Chen Tianhua couldn't help but think. In fact, when he first met Chen Ke, Chen Tianhua always felt that this "revolutionary youth" who was trying to make friends with him was very serious. A lot of things are holding back. In Chen Tianhua's view, since a manly man wants a revolution, he should not be afraid. Afraid of this, afraid of that, how to revolutionize. Seriously, at that time, even if Chen Tianhua admired Chen Ke's talent, he still looked down on Chen Ke's approach.

Now, when Chen Tianhua also undertook the real revolutionary work, he was finally able to understand why Chen Ke was so cautious back then, and even a little bit of a misunderstanding. He knew that he couldn't see through these back then, which was just the proof that he was far inferior to Chen Ke.

"What will Wen Qing do?" Chen Tianhua couldn't help but muttered to himself again. In the few months that I was with Chen Ke, because I never thought that I would encounter such a situation, Chen Ke and Chen Tianhua did not mention the response to this kind of thing.

Chen Tianhua has an excellent memory, and these memories that have been discussed with Chen Ke are rapidly turning in his mind, and when he is already a little helpless, Chen Tianhua hopes to find information that can be used in these memories. Suddenly, something popped up. Chen Ke is proficient in music and knows a lot of new songs. When the two were working and free, Chen Tianhua occasionally sang new songs, and once Chen Ke sang a song called "Yingshan Red". The song is mournful and feminine, completely different from the impassioned or tender melody that Chen Ke is used to. The tune is tired of the music over there.

After singing, Chen Ke said nostalgically, "The party's army can't let the people suffer." ”

Thinking of this sentence, Chen Tianhua instantly figured out the current joint. No matter what the situation is, we must not let the people suffer. Whether the other party is the Beiyang Army or the other party is Pang Zi. Chen Tianhua himself wants to guard the interests of the people, and only to protect the interests of the people.

Thinking about this clearly, Chen Tianhua immediately got up, but saw Jing Side and others entering the door, Chen Tianhua said: "Everyone hurry up and count the money and property accounts of our peasant association, I am ready to share the things with everyone." ”
