Chapter 334: Saving People

Seeing the whip that the Qing soldier had drawn on the child, Pang Gang seemed to hear a crisp snap in his heart.

The horsewhip of the Tartar is made of a horsetail mixed with copper wire, if it is drawn on the human body, it will not only be very painful, but also a blood mark will float on the skin, which will not go away for a long time, this pain can not even be tolerated by ordinary adults, let alone a naughty child.

Pang Gang saw the child from a distance and fell to the ground without saying a word, never to be seen again. The lady who walked in front of him looked back, screamed, threw the burden off her shoulders, and threw herself on the child, who was clearly her child.

"What's there to cry about, you Han dog, you're still pretending to be dead, don't hurry up!" The fierce Qing soldier did not show the slightest pity for the scene in front of him, and the leather whip in his hand whipped on her body again, making a crisp sound.

The woman writhed on the ground in pain, and cried out in pain, "Kill me, these dogs who deserve a thousand cuts!" If you have the ability, kill me, her mournful voice spread far away in the wind, and everyone who heard it wept.

Pang Gang, who was about to be stunned, stood in the center of the battle formation and shouted loudly: "All the first row raise their guns!" Get ready to shoot! ”

"Whoa!" The riflemen at the front half-crouched on the ground and raised their Minnie rifles in unison, the muzzles of the black holes aimed ahead.

"Ahh They're going to shoot! "The people who walked in the front saw the Ming army on the opposite side raise their guns in unison, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at them, although they had never seen the scene of a rifle salvo, but the human beings who sought advantage and avoided harm let them know that it would not be a good thing to be shot by these firearms.

The frightened people began to mess up, and the steps that had been moving forward also stopped, and the Qing soldiers who followed behind were suddenly furious, and the whip in their hands suddenly slashed their heads, and at this time they were only less than two hundred steps away from Pang Gang.

Seeing that the people were expelled again, Pang Gang shouted loudly to the front: "Folks in front, this official is Pang Gang, the chief soldier of Qingzhou and the general of Dingguo, and today I am ordered to kill the thieves, and we must not let you go over and disrupt the military formation, if any of you don't want to die, hurry down and lie down, we will shoot!" ”

When Pang Gang's voice came far away, those people didn't know what was going on, but then a dull burst of gunfire sounded in front of them, followed by blood holes on the bodies of many people walking in front, and then fell to the ground.

"Oh no, the Ming army has shot!"

With the sound of gunshots, the people finally began to disrupt, whether it was the whipping or shouting of the Qing soldiers, it was to no avail, only to see their figures everywhere, and there were many Qing soldiers escorting them in the middle, and some clever people listened to Pang Gang's words and were busy lying on the ground.

At this time, the people ran back one by one in terror, and the whips, knives and guns of the Qing army behind them could not stop them from fleeing for their lives. And the Qing soldiers behind them also unceremoniously cut them to the ground one by one, and then these people were trampled to the ground by the people who rushed from behind.

There was a great chaos at the scene, and at this time, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and it turned out that the cavalry led by Black Iron took the opportunity to move forward and kill it.

"Brothers, kill the Tartars fiercely!"

With the sound of black iron, the cavalrymen who had been holding their breath for a long time urged their horses to move forward to kill, due to the chaos at the scene, the Qing army and the people were mixed together, they did not dare to use bows and arrows and handcuffs to fire at will, but it did not prevent them from using the sabers in their hands to harvest the heads of the Qing soldiers.

The traditional foot soldier was very powerless in the face of the rolling cavalry, and the only way for the average foot soldier to resist the cavalry that was superior in height, impact and strength was to escape, especially if there was no spear or crossbow formation specifically for the cavalry.

Black Iron, who rushed into the enemy formation, led the cavalry to the left and killed, hacked and wounded many Qing soldiers, and some cavalry also used the lasso in their hands to trap the fleeing Qing soldiers, and then dragged them behind their horses.

Hei Tie saw that there were still many people running around him, and shouted at them while waving his hand: "Everyone run to the camp of the Ming army, hurry up, remember not to impact the battle formation behind, otherwise they will shoot!" ”

After listening to Hei Tie's words, many people staggered towards the Ming army camp, but fortunately, after listening to Hei Tie's shouts, they did not collide with Pang Gang's phalanx, otherwise they would have been beaten into a hornet's nest.

While informing the people to run back, the lasso in their hands did not stop, like a ghost and accurately put on the heads of the Qing soldiers in the crowd, and after the rope lassoe lassoed those Qing soldiers, they did not stop, so they rode their horses and galloped, allowing those Qing soldiers to be dragged to the ground by the horses, and they immediately rode their horses towards their own camp.

As the people in front of him ran and scattered, the people in front gradually became scarce, but Pang Gang did not relax at all, because he saw a black and oppressive shadow slowly approaching him in front of him.

When Pang Gang and the surrounding Qingzhou soldiers saw the situation on the other side, they couldn't help but gasp, it turned out that there were quite a few people and horses in front of them who were slowly approaching Pang Gang, and it seemed that there were tens of thousands of people, all on foot!

"There's some trouble now!" Pang Gang frowned, he didn't expect the Qing soldiers to be so cunning, and they would immediately send such a large army out, seeing that this posture was clearly to wipe themselves out.

But seeing that they are still nearly a mile away, anyway, the people have been rescued, and there is something they can do. Thinking of this, Pang Gang immediately said loudly to the herald behind him: "Immediately order the rear team to change to the front team, and the whole army will maintain the battle queue and retreat." ”

"Yes!"

With the sound of the horn, the officers and men of the Qingzhou Army did not hesitate to turn back and retreat in great strides, which could not help but be stunned in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides.

Lu Xiangsheng slapped his thigh and shouted anxiously: "What is Chao Dong doing here, doesn't he know that people can never outrun four-legged horses?" If they resist, there may be a chance of survival, but if they escape for their lives, the Tartars will only need a single charge to wipe them out! ”

The same consternation was also presented on Duoduo's face, but the expression on Duoduo's face at this time was full of surprise, "Hahaha, these Han people are so stupid, they want to escape in front of our Qing warriors, where can you escape from a distance of only one mile, you just wait to die obediently, pass on Ben Baylor's order, and all the cavalry will charge!" ”

"Woohoo"

With the sound of the desolate horn, more than 3,000 cavalrymen began to charge forward on horseback, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves began to shake the earth, resounding throughout the front of the formation, at this time the distance between the Qingzhou army and the Qing army was only one mile, about five hundred meters away.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Siyong, the general behind Lu Xiangsheng, was a little anxious, and he said to Lu Xiangsheng: "My lord, why don't you let the last general lead 3,000 cavalry to meet General Pang's army, if you ignore them, you may be wiped out." ”

It's no wonder that Zhou Siyong was in a hurry, a foot soldier running backwards encountered a fierce cavalry, and the probability of annihilation of the whole army was quite high.

Lu Xiangsheng closed his eyes painfully and shook his head: "It's too late, by the time you lead your troops out, the Tartars will already catch up with them." ”

"Alas!" Zhou Siyong angrily punched the cart beside him, and made a muffled bang, if Pang Gang, the strongest Qingzhou army, was lost in front of the battle, the fate of the Ming army could already be predicted.

Unlike what they expected, Pang Gang, who was the person concerned, was not shown to be anxious, he retreated with the troops in great stride, and from time to time to observe the rear, when he saw that the cavalry of the Qing army had broken away from the main formation and rushed towards him, less than three hundred steps away from his side, he immediately took out the sharp whistle hanging around his neck and blew it, and the sharp whistle immediately echoed over the position.

As soon as the whistle sounded, the foot soldiers who were originally running forward desperately immediately stopped, and re-lined themselves under the general orders of the various thousand generals, and the well-trained Qingzhou army only took less than a minute to form a strict column with five elements.

Lu Xiangsheng, who was watching the battle in the camp, couldn't help but scold anymore: "Bastard, what is Pang Gang going to do, run if you want to, fight if you want to fight, how can you be so nonsense, he is obviously going to send the whole army to death." ”

It's no wonder that Lu Xiangsheng is angry, how can there be such a war since ancient times, if you encounter a cavalry, you can run, no one blames you, who made the brigade of cavalry an ancient armored cluster. But you just run, you run to the end, if you're lucky, at least a small part can escape back a small life, but now Pang Gang is good, half of the run actually took and ordered the soldiers to stop and start resisting, isn't this a joke about the soldier's life? Seeing such a scene, Lu Xiangsheng even had the heart to kill.

Contrary to Lu Xiangsheng, bursts of laughter rang out in the camp of the Qing army.

"Hahaha, is this Ming army crazy?"

"I've seen a lot today, and it turns out that the battle is still like this!"

Du Du, Luo Luohun and a kind of general all laughed one by one, they can be regarded as generals who have experienced many large and small battle formations, but it is the first time they have encountered such a funny thing as today.

"No, I think that Pang Gang is also a famous general, how could he make such a low-level mistake, such a mistake will not be made even if he is a general, right? What the hell is he doing? ”

Looking at the Qing cavalry who was charging towards the Ming army, Dolgon was very puzzled and muttered a few times in a low voice.

However, it didn't take long for Dorgon to see the answer, because suddenly there was a rumbling cannon in front of him!
