Chapter 22 The word dog official
The common people blew up the crowd at the time, and the moment they were crying stumbled, and the people who were scolding the street just now ran away with their legs, running back in a mess, and the group of defeated soldiers scattered with a bang.
Chu Suifeng's troops were also terrified, the spears in their hands kept trembling, and their legs were so immobile that they couldn't move as if they were filled with lead, no matter how they shouted, they couldn't organize a neat spear formation.
hated Yi Bangcai and Ding Keze constantly kicked some soldiers who didn't obey the call.
It's no wonder that after just a tough battle, and then having to deal with an unknown number of Qing cavalry, the well-trained troops can't stand it, let alone their improvised miscellaneous fish.
At this moment, the retreating team will scatter in a hurry, not only will it be difficult to protect themselves, but the people behind them will also fall under the butcher's knife of the Qing soldiers.
In this way, it is better to inspire the courage of these people, fight hard, and pull a clear soldier to die.
Chu Suifeng's eyes flashed away, turned over and mounted his horse, pointed his nine-curved gun at hundreds of trembling soldiers, and laughed loudly.
Hahaha!
The hearty laughter suddenly confused these soldiers, and the family looked at each other at a loss, and then turned their puzzled eyes to Chu Suifeng.
"Brethren! Scared? Chu Suifeng's laughter was retracted, and he looked solemnly at every soldier in front of him.
Everyone unconsciously avoided each other's gaze, and their heads gradually lowered.
The stones and branches on the ground shook slightly, as if a slight earthquake was taking place.
"A question for you? Why did you come to be a soldier? Chu Suifeng's tone suddenly changed and became extremely gentle, sounding like a friend he hadn't seen for many years.
Everyone was surprised, looked up at Chu Suifeng, and then lowered it again.
Their faces were pale, their lips trembled, and their frightened eyes reflected the extreme uneasiness in their hearts.
Xie Qian, who was on horseback, understood something after thinking about it for a while, only to see the corner of his mouth hooked slightly, and he tightened his grip on the spear he had just picked up.
After defeating the Qing soldiers, the soldiers consciously assigned horses and armor according to their ranks.
"If you can eat, you can marry a wife and have a baby in the future, and pass on the ancestry!" Wu Shiyi shouted out without thinking after hearing it, and after the roar, he found that there was no sound around, and he was a little embarrassed.
Hahaha!
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then burst into thunderous laughter.
The laughter made their eyebrows stretch, released the fear in their hearts, and their stiff bodies became flexible.
"Good! Then I ask you, who made you unable to eat? So that you can't marry a wife and have a baby, and pass on the lineage? Who broke up your family and broke up your wife? Chu Suifeng looked back at the approaching horse team, the enemy was about four or five hundred people, all cavalry.
The ground shook louder and louder, and the sound of horses' hooves was clearly audible.
The soldiers had forgotten their timidity at this moment, and they all hated each other, gritted their teeth, and the spears in their hands unconsciously stood up.
Chu Suifeng saw that the time had come, took a deep breath, pointed back with the tip of the gun and shouted.
"Look behind you!"
Hundreds of soldiers looked back at the old men and women who had not had time to flee in the woods, all of them shivering.
"What are they? They are your compatriots, your food and clothing, your parents, and your relatives! Today they are killed, and tomorrow it will be your family's turn! ”
After hearing this, the soldiers' eyes gradually became firm, and they turned their heads one by one to consciously line up in formation.
A few rows of loose horizontal formations in the open ground, typical looking for death!
The reason why this is done is to block the innocent and helpless people behind them.
It is better to let the enemy step over his corpse than to let a common man be killed behind him!
"Kill the Tartars!" Chu shouted angrily with the bloodstained iron spear in one fell swoop.
"Kill the Tartars!" Hundreds of soldiers roared in unison with impassioned enthusiasm, and their voices shook the heavens and the earth!
Many of the defeated soldiers of the Ming army who did not flee far picked up some of the dead's weapons from the ground in shame and silently gathered into these rows of horizontal formations; The adult men who fled without regard for their parents, wives and children also took up wooden sticks and held stones to join in.
Several rows of horizontal formations gradually thickened.
Wu Shiyi heard tears in his eyes, and constantly turned his head to wipe his eyes with his hands, but he happened to see Yi Bangcai, who had just stepped on the saddle, and the corners of his eyes were full of tears.
"What about this tartar?" Ding Keze put his foot on the butt of the Qing soldier who was tied up with five flowers, and stared at Chu Suifeng with a puzzled face.
The latter staggered out a few steps unsteadily, some of the hair on his forehead was scattered like a mess, and the man stood on his feet and craned his neck to look at the other party angrily, full of rebelliousness.
Seeing this, Ding Keze snorted, and went up to slap the other party's neck a few times, making a crackling sound.
Chu Suifeng saw that the other party's eyes were fierce and knew that they were very hard, and he bit his teeth, and a trace of viciousness appeared in his eyes.
"If necessary, kill!"
The man shouted in horror in half-baked Chinese.
"My lord, I surrendered, I won't kill."
Bah!
"Cowardly? Wasn't your kid quite hard just now! Ding Keze sneered at the man's face, kicked the other party and went back.
******
Horse team, closer.
The guns in the hands of the Ming soldiers here became tighter and tighter, but their expressions became more and more strange: the people who came were actually some horse bandits.
Disorganized clothes, some of them are rags of animal skins, some are coarse cloth jackets with cotton wool exposed, their heads are wrapped in cloth, they are covered with fur hats, and the weapons in their hands are also varied, such as sabers, spears, earthen forks, and iron rods......
The horses were uneven, both war horses and inferior horses, and even those behind them rode mules with large carts.
Everyone had a scruffy beard and dirty faces, as if they had just been pulled out of a coal mine.
The first strong man rode a variegated yellow horse and carried the nine rings on his shoulders. Knife.
He was about thirty-two or thirteen, with a leopard's head and ringed eyes, a thick nose and a wide mouth, and a messy face that seemed to have never been tidied up, which seemed to be quite consistent with his identity as a horse thief.
The other party raised his face and looked Chu Suifeng up and down a few times with some anxiety, shook the nine-ring broadsword on his shoulder and grinned.
"Dog officer! Let me ask you, how is Gouzi Village in Shen County? ”
After saying this, the hundreds of horse bandits behind the man laughed for a while, waving weapons, and the dog officer and the dog officer kept greeting each other.
After hearing the familiar word dog official, Chu smiled bitterly with the wind, in this year, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were really poor, and they usually sacrificed the city to the enemy in peacetime for evil, which really hurt the people.
Many bandits and rogues were honest peasants, but they were forced by the other party to be desperate and unable to survive.
"Hey! Where did the clown thief come from? Could it be that such a provocation is in a hurry to reincarnate? Yi Bang heard a cold roar, and the silver gun pointed at the other party, and scolded back without showing weakness.
At this time, Yi Bang was wearing the chain armor of the Qing army and riding the Mongolian horse of the Qing soldiers, and he was quite a general.
The officers and soldiers here also coaxed when they heard this, and called Hanako Chang and Hanako short to laugh at the attacking horse bandits in front of them.
Who are the people on the other side? The master who kills people on weekdays without blinking, can only bully other people's goods, and today he was scolded by the officials and soldiers and immediately blew up the pot, shouting and waving a knife and a fork to kill him.
The bandit leader on the opposite side turned the nine-ring broadsword and stood up, turned around and shouted.
"Shut the fuck up! Whoever dares to cross my horse's head, Lao Tzu slaughtered him! ”
After this voice, the horse bandits were immediately silenced, and the officers and soldiers here quieted down when they saw that they didn't know what the other party was going to do, and the battlefield was surprisingly quiet for a while.
I saw that the bandit leader pointed at Yi Bang with a knife and said viciously.
"Boy, Lao Tzu has an urgent matter today, let's settle this account later."
After that, he hung the big knife on the horse's back, and rushed to Chu with a fist in the wind.
"General, I'm offended today. The brothers are in a hurry, please get out of the way and let us go, Liu Shaowu is grateful. ”
Chu Suifeng was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart that this person is Liu Shaowu, the ringing horse wanted by the government, and that Liu Shaowu who is active in the area of Fan County, Puzhou?
I heard that he has three or four thousand bandits, why are there about 400 people today?
At this moment, there was a heart-rending whimper in the team, and a person rushed out crying.
"Big brother! Big brother...... Our mother and my sister's whole family were killed by the Tartars! They're all dead! Ahh
After hearing this, the big man jumped off his horse and ran over to hug the man and asked a few words, and then hugged the other party and cried loudly.
Chu looked at the honest peasant before, presumably the corpse of the old woman was the mother of the two.
As the cries grew louder and louder, the armed confrontation on both sides, whether it was officers and soldiers, or horse bandits, all hung their heads.
Chu Suifeng looked up with tears in his eyes and sighed in this cry: I don't know how many people will be ruined, and how many people will die under the iron hoof and saber of the Qing army......
