Chapter 11 You can't do it if you don't work hard
"It's been less than three days since Lao Tzu came to this ghost place, is it hanging like this?"
Just as Pang Gang was helplessly closing his eyes and waiting for death, the thief soldier who was raising his knife to slash at Pang Gang suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and when he looked down, a bloody spear head appeared on his chest.
He slowly turned around and slashed back, a stout Tun soldier wearing tattered Ming army clothes was holding a gun in his hand, and the other end of this gun was already peeking out of his chest. With an incredulous look in his eyes, he slowly fell, and it turned out that it was Da Zhuang who had rushed over and stabbed the thief to death.
Da Zhuang and Gou Yu came to Pang Gang and asked with concern, "Gangzi, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine, but thankfully you saved my life."
Pang Gang, who had picked up a small life, only felt frightened and frightened, his body was sore, he gasped a few breaths and struggled to get up, came to the thief soldier who was killed by himself before, stepped on the corpse of the thief soldier and pulled out the red tassel spear with force, and a stream of blood splashed out. Pang Gang looked around and gasped and said, "Quick, let's hurry to that high ground, otherwise we won't last long." After saying that, he continued to run.
When Pang Gang and the three of them ran to the small hill and looked down again, they saw a group of thieves chasing and killing the Tun army everywhere, hundreds of Tun soldiers were chased and killed everywhere by the thieves who emerged from all directions to chase ducks, and some of the Tun soldiers simply knelt down and raised their hands to surrender when they couldn't escape.
"Look, Lord Chiho is surrounded!" The sharp-eyed dog suddenly pointed to the edge of the woods in horror, Pang Gang raised his eyes to see that He Zhengnan, who was dressed in red armor, was surrounded by dozens of thieves, and there were only more than ten family members left around him at this time, and the number was still decreasing.
"Let's go, find a place to hide." Seeing that several thieves had noticed this, Pang Gang hurriedly pulled the two of them to the other side of the woods.
He Zhengnan was surrounded by a group of thieves with dozens of family members, although he commanded the family members to fight hard, but after all, they were outnumbered, and there were more and more thieves around him, and there were fewer and fewer family members around him, He Zhengnan knew that if he continued like this, he would soon be finished. In the end, He Zhengnan gritted his teeth and brandished a scimitar to urge the horse, knocked over the two thieves, and then took the opportunity to rush towards the woods, but as soon as he rushed out, he was hit by a spear flying from behind, and the horse fell to the ground.
After seeing this scene, the surrounding thieves all cheered and ran over, and the big sword and spear beckoned down to He Zhengnan, who had fallen off the horse.
The sun is gradually moving westward, the sound of fighting in the woods has gradually subsided, hundreds of thieves are cleaning the battlefield, and on the other side, more than a hundred thieves are pressing hundreds of captured Tun troops to walk in the direction of Wangjiatun.
Next to a pile of corpses in the woods stood a group of thieves, led by a burly, pimpled man in the prime of life, this man was about thirty years old with a sinister face, and the long hair on his head was casually pulled into a ponytail.
At this time, Wang Haozi held a scimitar shining with cold light in his hand, and his face was happy, and he couldn't stop admiring, "Good knife, I didn't expect this dog official to hide such a treasure." ”
The thieves next to him also joked: "Yes, how can that dog officer have such a treasure, don't those scholars always say that the treasure is a virtuous person, and it is the will of God that the eldest brother can get this treasure this time." ”
Wang Haozi looked up to the sky and laughed when he heard this, kicked the corpse on the ground fiercely, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that this kind of treasure knife doesn't have a scabbard, it seems that you can only find someone to make a new one." ”
It turned out that the treasure in Wang Haozi's hand was the Damascus scimitar that He Zhengnan had taken away from Pang Gang, because it had not been in his hands for a long time, He Zhengnan had not had time to make a scabbard for him, and now the knife fell into Wang Haozi's hands before it was hot.
Wang Haozi, who got the treasure knife, laughed proudly and left, and before leaving, he did not forget to order someone to strip off the armor on He Zhengnan and the others, and in the end, only a set of underwear was left on He Zhengnan's corpse, and the pupils in his eyes had long been dilated, and he looked at the sky without looking at him.
All this was seen from a distance by Pang Gang who was hiding not far away, at this time Pang Gang and they were hiding in a cave covered by weeds, but now he is not only three people, there are two more members in hiding, these two people are Li Yuan, a young man, and his father Li Xian. It turned out that Li Yuan's father and son also ran out of the chaos and hid in this cave first, and then called them in after seeing Pang Gang and the three of them passing by.
This cave has a good view from the inside out, and it can be seen in most places in the woods, and the fact that He Zhengnan was killed and stripped naked is naturally also seen by them.
Everyone in the cave saw that their brothers were killed and caught by the thieves like ducks, and their hearts were as if they had been cut by a knife.
"You bastard, can you fight those thieves when you go out now? You're going to die, you fool, when can you let me worry! ”
"Dad, now that the Thousand Households have all died in battle, we will not be able to escape death after we return to the guard, it is better to go out and fight with them!" Although Li Yuan was held by his father, he was still very excited and still struggled.
"Alas!" Listening to his son's words, Li Xian also hung his head helplessly.
Da Zhuang also said with a bitter face: "Little Brother Li is right, now Mr. He Qian, Mr. Zhao Qian, and Mr. Li Bai have all died in battle, and many brothers have been captured, if we go back like this, we will definitely die, what should we do?" ”
Everyone in the cave was silent, Pang Gang looked at the entrance of the cave blankly, and from time to time there were screams of lone soldiers killed by thieves and the arrogant laughter of thieves.
The shock that today's battle brought to Pang Gang was incomparable, this was the first battle he had participated in in his life, and it was also the bloodiest battle in the era of cold weapons, the flying blood, the roar of the soldiers, and the feeling of spears piercing into the enemy's body all unmistakably told him the fact that he had been avoiding in the past few days, and he had indeed returned to this tragic era after more than three hundred years.
Just nine years later, Li Zicheng would take advantage of the Ming Dynasty when it was the weakest and weakest to attack the capital, and the last orthodox emperor Chongzhen was forced to wipe his neck in the coal mountain, and after nine years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty defeated Li Zicheng and began to enter the Central Plains, and did the tragedy of Yangzhou Shiyue and Jiading Santu to exterminate people's surnames, and finally took the opportunity to set the decree of "keeping your head without hair and hair without leaving your head", so that after a few hundred years, the Chinese people were ridiculed by Westerners as "pigtails".
"What should I do? What to do? Ever since he knew that he couldn't go back, Pang Gang had been torturing himself, whether he wanted to wait until the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and then shrank his head and live like a turtle, or whether he wanted to flee overseas to avoid all this. But after today's battle, it was as if a voice was telling him, no! There is another way, that is, to kill the Manchu Tartars, to kill those damn rogues, so that our Chinese civilization will not disappear again under the iron hooves of the barbarians.
Thinking of this, Pang Gang's hand touched the book that had been tightly tied to his chest, and two flames seemed to be burning in his eyes, and a sentence popped out from between his teeth: "What should I do?" Fuck it! You wait here for a while, I'll be out and I'll be back in time!" ”
After speaking, Pang Gangji looked around and quickly turned out of the hole, bent down and ran towards a dense grass outside
