The Nangong Gaojiazhai Peasant Association ceased its formal operations on September 27, 1906, although all members shouldered their own responsibilities. But the official operation has ended, and the members are all dispersed. The person who witnessed this history was Pang Zi, who watched Chen Tianhua go away from an unnoticed place on the edge of the village. Seeing that other members also began to evacuate. And Mr. Jing Tingwen stood alone at the gate of the compound of the peasant association and lit a bag of dry tobacco.

On that day, three of the last few families who refused to leave the village chose to evacuate. The two families are still sticking to their homes. Pang Zi didn't care about these last small changes. What he knows is that there are no more forces friendly with him in Nangong County now, and other forces are lurking and waiting. The Beiyang Army in the distance must have received the order to make a sortie.

Pang Zi originally wanted to escape as soon as possible, but after Uncle Jing's uprising, in May, the Qing army surrounded the important stronghold of the rebel army, the village of Guangzong County, and attacked it with artillery fire. Uncle Jing led the army to fight, and finally broke through and fought in Cheng'an, Linzhang and other places. In June, Uncle Jing was defeated and arrested. In July, he was sent to Yudi Village, Wei County, and Ling Chi was executed.

The team of more than 100,000 people was completely defeated in more than two months. It was after being defeated for the first time that the team had no courage to fight. The escape of a large number of people, coupled with the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Beiyang Army. That's why it failed so completely. Pang Zi didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, he was ready not to wait for Pang Tianshuo, and he led the team to Taihang Mountain first.

Since he had made such a plan, Pang Zi began to mobilize the brothers of the dart game. A few backbone brothers can understand, but what they didn't expect is that many of the brothers below don't want to leave Nangong County. This result was much beyond Pang Zi's expectations, and he thought that there should be no problem for the brothers to leave Nangong County temporarily in order to save their lives. But in reality, some of the brothers didn't think so at all.

Gao Songling and the others came back and told Pang Zi that some of the brothers felt that they would simply disperse to other places like the people, and some brothers felt that if they waited and watched, maybe the officials and soldiers would not come. There are a few who even feel that the Beiyang Army is nothing remarkable. If you fight, you won't have to be afraid of the Beiyang Army.

Pang Zi really didn't expect that the brothers would have such a variety of ideas. In the past, Pang Zi gave an order, and the brothers followed without saying a word. At that time, when I went to other places to transport goods, the brothers were all rushing to go, but I didn't expect to encounter such a situation now.

"It's not as good as the peasant association!" Pang Zi said hatefully. The group of people in the peasant association usually look far less hugging than the brothers in the dart game, but when they say that they are evacuated, they can walk so cleanly. My brothers talk so much nonsense. Chen Tianhua didn't know how to treat the people of the peasant association on weekdays, but he could actually talk about the people of the peasant association......

Although he was angry in his heart, Pang Zi couldn't attack like this. He ordered his brothers to be gathered together and himself to convince them. Just gathered everyone in the village, looking at the bulging brothers, Pang Zi didn't have time to speak. I heard a burst of gunfire from the north end of the village.

Everyone was stunned, and the gunfire was tight and loose, and soon stopped. Soon calm returned, "Everyone get on the horse!" Pang Zi shouted. The brothers, who had been listening to the movement with their ears pricked up, immediately turned their heads and ran towards the horse ring. Pang Zi took a few brothers and ran to the north of the village.

"It shouldn't be!" Pang Zi felt very puzzled in his mind. The Beiyang Army shouldn't have come so fast. From defeating the canal defense battalion to the fifth day, how could the Beiyang Army come so quickly? Pang Zi immediately ruled out this option. But if the person who came was not the Beiyang Army, who would be coming.

As he was running, he saw a figure on horseback appear in front of him, the man on horseback was a man dressed as a local peasant in a gray felt hat, he was tightly clutching his ribs, the bump of the horse obviously caused him a lot of pain, and his posture significantly reduced the impact of the horse on his body when galloping.

"Big brother, that's Du Laosi!" The brother next to him had sharp eyes and had already recognized the comer. In the blink of an eye, Du Laosi arrived in front of Pang Zi and them. The brothers hurriedly grabbed the reins, and Du Laosi dismounted with the support of others, and his shoulders and armpits were still dripping blood.

"Fourth, who is here?" Nephew Pang hurriedly asked, he was sent by Pang Zi to reconnoiter the north.

"At least one battalion of gray skins, four or five hundred people with horses and fast guns, as well as several big guys, and a large number of mules, horses, and livestock...... the man gasped, "These gray skin dogs are very thieves, and the third son brought a few brothers to touch the edge, but a volley of guns came over, and several were injured...... I couldn't get any closer."

"How far away are they from us now? Whose banner is it? The fat man asked.

"I didn't see the banner clearly, they were less than three miles away from us. I ran back, but they didn't chase me. After Du Laosi finished speaking, his body had already sat down softly.

"Who the is this?" Pang Zi thought angrily. "First wrap up the wound of the fourth child and bring me the horse." Pang Zi shouted.

The training of the past few days has finally yielded some results, and the more than 200 brothers have been divided into five teams, and now they have rushed over under the leadership of their respective leaders. Pang Zi also got on his horse at this time, and the brothers rushed to the north of the village in a swarm. Two or three miles on the opposite side, a group of cavalrymen in gray uniforms were lined up neatly, and the banner could not be seen clearly from a distance, and they were lined up against a jujube forest. The head officer had a shining shoulder on his shoulders, and he didn't know what rank it was.

The color of these Qing army uniforms was different from the blue military uniforms in Beiyang, which made Pang Zi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Song Ling, scolding array!" Pang Zi commanded.

Gao Songling was a loud voice, and when he heard Pang Zi's order, he urged the horse forward for more than ten meters, took a deep breath, and then an angry roar burst out from his throat, "The officers and soldiers on the other side, I will grass your grandmother!" Laughter erupted from among the brothers in the back. Seriously, suddenly encountering such a group of officers and soldiers, the brothers were nervous in their hearts, and when they suddenly heard such an angry scolding, everyone's hearts were relaxed.

Pang Zi didn't laugh, he let Gao Songling scold at the officials and soldiers, he had already retreated into the formation, and the brothers behind him had already pushed something over. This is a Gatling gun. Speaking of which, this machine gun also came down to the canal defense battalion. When I came to find trouble this time, I didn't know what they were thinking, so I actually brought this machine gun with me. The most ridiculous thing is that when the whole army broke and fled, the machine gunners threw this thing down at the earliest. It was seized by Pang Zi.

Pang Zi is very familiar with this machine gun, when the Beiyang Army and the foreign devils attacked Uncle Jing, how many good brothers were killed by this kind of thing that can constantly breathe fire! Pang Ziqing remembered clearly. So after that, Pang Zi cared a lot about this weapon. I didn't expect to be able to grab one, although this machine gun was extremely heavy, Pang Zi still asked his brothers to transport it back. Among the captives were machine gunners. The other captives Pang Zi were released. Only the Heavy was brought back. In the past few days, Pang Zi has been forcing the machine gunner to teach everyone how to use this thing.

Listening to Gao Songling's foul language, he greeted the female family members of the seventh or eighth generation of the officers and soldiers opposite. Pang Zi looked out from the crack in the human being. There are at least more than 300 officers and troops on the opposite side, and if you let your brothers fight against them, you will definitely not be able to defeat them. He still remembers that when his brother used a horse team to attack the Qing army and foreign devils, the other party did not move at all, and first fired this machine gun. The brothers who rushed to the forefront were the bravest and most capable of fighting, and many were killed and wounded by this machine gun. When his brothers were overwhelmed, the enemy charged. Just one charge, and his brothers stepped across. Pang Zi was prepared to use the same tactics against these officers and soldiers.

Those officers and soldiers in gray uniforms stood quietly on the field, allowing Gao Songling to scold him so angrily. Only a small number of figures were moving, and as the sun broke through a few lines of golden light from the low clouds, suddenly the banners of the official army shook, and a team of horses came out of the crowd and rushed towards Pang Zi.

There were more than fifty horses, and the sound of more than two hundred horses' hooves coming from far and near, everyone felt that they could gradually feel the vibration under their feet. Almost subconsciously, the brothers began to retreat. Gao Songling also turned his horse back into the team.

"Don't move, I'll let you move, and you move again." Pang Zi shouted.

Hearing this order, the brothers stopped, but Pang Zi saw that the brothers' hands were trembling slightly, and some of their legs were also trembling. Without waiting for Pang Zi to give an order, the officers and soldiers on the opposite side suddenly straightened up on their horses, slowing down the horse's charge slightly, and then they raised their guns and shot at Pang Zi and them.

There was an immediate exclamation among the brothers in the dart game, and almost everyone subconsciously bent down to avoid the bullets. The Gatling gun, which had been hidden behind the crowd, was immediately revealed. Pang Zi couldn't wait for the officers and soldiers to rush closer. "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Pang Zi drove away his brother in front of the machine gun, and then the Gatling gun began to spray flames.

"Dada......" ferocious tongues of fire erupted from the six barrels of the machine gun. The officers and soldiers didn't expect that Pang Zi and they actually had the firepower, although the bullet point was very bad, but the cavalry of the officers and soldiers was attacking in a fan, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen officers and soldiers were either shot themselves, or their horses were shot. The cavalry and horses fell to the ground one after another, and the other officers and soldiers who were not hit slowed down their charge in an instant.

Pang Zi himself had fired the machine gun, and he knew how loud the gun was. But as soon as the dense gunshots rang out, Pang Zi still shook his ears to the ground. And where have the horses in Pang Zi's dart bureau heard such a sound, many horses have already neighed and started to get up, or simply turn around and run. The brother, who was supposed to be in control of the horse, was also frightened by the sound. Unable to stabilize the horses effectively, there was chaos near the machine gun in the blink of an eye.

The bullets were quickly finished, and as soon as the gunshots fell, Pang Zi didn't care about the buzzing of his ears, he hurriedly rushed towards his horse, grabbed the horse that was spinning around, turned over on the horse as fast as he could, and then raised the rifle in his hand, "Brothers, rush!" Then, no matter how reluctant the horse was, Pang Zi violently slammed his feet under the horse's ribs. The horses finally obeyed Pang Zi's drive and rushed out towards the official army.

Originally, Pang Zi had practiced this kind of combat in training. As soon as the machine guns stopped, more than a hundred cavalry immediately charged. At this time, Pang Zi took the lead, and there were less than fifty brothers who could rush out with him. However, fortunately, the opponent was smaller in number and was strafed by machine gun fire, and the officers and soldiers were also terrified. At this time, the horses finally stopped, and when Pang Zi led people to rush over, they simply turned their horses and ran back.

Pang Zi didn't care if he could hit or not, so he let go of a shot with a rifle. With him taking the lead, the brothers on horseback also remembered to shoot, and after a single shot, five or six more officers and soldiers who fled fell down. This chase chased out more than a mile, and Pang Zi hurriedly retreated with his brothers. On the way back, several officers and soldiers who were wounded and tried to stand up and flee for their lives were all killed by the brothers of the dart bureau.

Although the tactics of machine gun ambush were used, cavalry pursuit. In the face of more than 50 officers and soldiers on the opposite side, less than 20 people were killed and wounded. The results of this battle are not good. But it was a victory in a head-on confrontation, and there was a cry of ecstasy from the dart team, which had already begun to restore order. Everyone's morale was greatly boosted, and many people raised their rifles in their hands and shouted voices of unknown meaning. More people were already gathered around the machine gun, and some people didn't know that the barrel of the machine gun was boiling hot at this time, and touched it with their hands, and then they were screaming at the heat. It caused a kind laugh from the surrounding brothers.

Because of a close chase, Pang Zi's chest was rising and falling fiercely at this time. He thought triumphantly. Now those officers and soldiers should know how powerful we are, right? He ordered his brothers to rearrange the line, and the machine guns were once again placed at the back of the line. Looking at the carnival of the brothers, Pang Zi was actually not too optimistic. He had already made up his mind, as long as he waited until night, Pang Zi would give up the machine gun, and then run south with his brothers first, and then turn west.

Before, the reason why Pang Zi didn't want to leave was because if he didn't run away without a fight, the brothers would definitely think that Pang Zi couldn't beat the Beiyang Army. That's not a good thing, as far as I look at it now, Pang Zi's strength will only get weaker and weaker, and he can't win a battle now, as long as the Beiyang Army is mentioned in the future, the brothers will never have the courage to fight head-on with the Beiyang Army. That's the scariest thing.

Now that they have been able to win for such a while, the brothers know that they can't defeat the Beiyang Army. When morale was high, it was easier to command the brothers to retreat. Pang Zi crawled out of the pile of dead people, and he actually knew very well in his heart how lucky this victory was.

Looking up at the cloudy sky, Pang Zi only hoped that the sky would soon get dark.
