Chapter 132: Failure
Due to the scuffle, the two sides of the people and horses on the dirt road, in the woods have been a mess, this is a battle between cold weapons, a knife cut off, an arm or a head fell to the ground, followed by blood spurting out, the scene was tragic, Chen Qimei never thought that the battlefield was so cruel, he hid behind the tree and put a cold gun, while observing the situation of the battle, after fighting for so long, the Qing army did not collapse, you must know that these Qing troops are just patrol battalions, not new troops, Even the patrol battalion is so combat-effective, so the new army still has it?
How come the Qing army hasn't collapsed yet? Chen Qimei's face showed an anxious look, if she continues like this, won't she have to fight for both sides? Thinking of this, Chen Qimei couldn't help but be anxious and shouted: "Brothers, work hard, the Qing soldiers are about to be unable to resist, kill me!" ”
Hearing Chen Qimei's shout, Liu Fubiao and the other brothers who were fighting with the Qing soldiers had improved their morale, and the slashing action was a little faster.
The Qing army's musket platoon suffered great losses, originally a platoon of 36 people, because they were ambushed, and were flanked from both sides, plus exposed to the guns of Chen Qimei and others, they had suffered heavy casualties, and now only half of them have died, and Chen Qimei's brothers who have guns on this side are hiding behind trees and shooting, protected by natural bunkers, and the casualty rate is much less than that of the Qing army, only four people died.
Although half of the Qing army's musket platoon was killed, the other half was still resisting, with the combat effectiveness of the patrol battalion, if it was changed to before, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago=, but this time the situation is obviously different, the Qing army has long known that there is an ambush here, and Ena still does not know what means are used to make these Qing soldiers grit their teeth and insist on fighting until now.
After Chen Qimei's side intensified the attack, the Qing army that was caught in the middle was a little unbearable, and the Qing army still had to guard more than 70 prisoners. Although the prisoners were all in leg cuffs, they were not completely restricted from moving. One of the prisoners secretly picked up a big knife on the ground and cut the rope on his hand, and then took advantage of the fact that he was fighting with Liu Fubiao's brother next to him. Strangle the Qing soldier's neck with an iron chain from behind and strangle him to death.
With this example, a few bold prisoners also began to draw scoops on the gourd, and the prisoners began to riot, which the Qing soldiers really couldn't stand it, and in terms of strength and weapons, the Qing soldiers themselves did not occupy any advantage, and now the prisoners rioted and joined the battle, and the Qing soldiers immediately fell into a predicament. When the revolutionaries saw that the prisoners had broken away from the control and joined the battle, their morale was immediately boosted, and the Qing soldiers were defeated and retreated.
At this moment, there was a sudden dense gunfire from the depths of the woods on both sides, and the brothers of the revolutionary party who were firing at the Qing soldiers on the road were shot and fell down one by one. Originally, it was his side that attacked the Qing army, but now the situation has completely reversed, and his side has been attacked by the Qing army.
"It's over, it's over. It's time to go to the Sea of Ona! Chen Qimei was in a hurry, a burst of fire attacked her heart, and a stream of heat rushed from her stomach to her throat and almost erupted. He immediately suppressed it and swallowed the hot stream again.
watched the brothers fall one after another when they were shot. Chen Qimei knew that this ambush had failed and had fallen for the tricks of the Qing army. Now that saving people has become a luxury, the top priority is to flee immediately, and it will be all over if they are caught by the Qing army.
Thinking of this, Chen Qimei immediately shouted at Liu Fubiao, who was fighting with the Qing army: "Brother Liu, we have been tricked, the Qing army is strong, the wind is tight, and it is nonsense!" ”
This is to inform Liu Fubiao to retreat immediately with his brothers, Chen Qimei is a revolutionary, but she has been associated with the party and gang figures for a long time, and she has unconsciously learned the same way on the rivers and lakes, and she shouts black words very smoothly.
Liu Fubiao heard Chen Qimei's rule, and also knew that he couldn't do anything, so he could only retreat with his brothers, otherwise he would only be trapped and die here if he delayed any longer, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, you can't do anything, let's withdraw first, the brothers who were arrested, I'm sorry, we'll find a way to rescue and evacuate in the future."
After seeing their own reinforcements coming, the morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted, and Chen Qimei and Liu Fubiao and others who wanted to retreat were entangled to death, Chen Qimei and Liu Fubiao were still so scrupulous in their panic, in order to escape, they only cared about themselves in front of the escape, and they didn't know at all that the brothers were fighting and retreating, and without organization, the brothers behind Chen Qimei and Liu Fubiao left their backs to the Qing army one by one. Seeing such a good opportunity, the Qing army immediately pursued and killed.
The losses on the side of the revolutionaries suddenly became bigger and bigger, and because of the brothers behind them, Chen Qimei and Liu Fubiao were not injured, but the brothers behind them fell one by one on the way to escape.
After running out of two miles, Chen Qimei, Liu Fubiao and others finally rushed to a carriage, at this time there were only twelve brothers left around them, Liu Fubiao immediately pointed to a subordinate who could drive the carriage: "Quick, you come to catch the carriage, let's get out of here quickly!" ”
Chen Qimei and Liu Fubiao jumped into the carriage, and several brothers crowded in the carriage and the back of the carriage, and the others could not squeeze up and could only run behind with knives, at this time there was a gunshot behind them, and the bullets flew over with a whizz, Chen Qimei and others were even more devastated, and the others even took out the strength to eat milk and fled frantically.
In the woods, several Qing troops finally converged, Chen Qimei and Liu Fubiao brought about a hundred or so people, about seventy or eighty people were left here, these people died, wounded, half of them were captured, not that they didn't want to run, but they couldn't run, the Qing troops on both sides of the woods rushed up from behind to carry out a roundabout encirclement, after Chen Qimei and others ran away, these people surrounded them, as the encirclement narrowed, they fought for a while, and finally chose to drop their weapons and surrender under the hopelessness of breaking through.
There were corpses everywhere on the dirt road, in the ditches on both sides, and in the woods, including those of people brought by Chen Qimei and some of the Qing soldiers, most of the corpses were mutilated, and only a few were killed by bullets.
At this time, some figures appeared on the west side of the dirt road, and soon, Onahai rode a war horse, followed by a dozen musketeers in two columns.
When Enahai stopped holding the reins of the war horse, an officer stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Qiyu, the battle is over, 42 people of the revolutionary party have been killed, 44 people have been captured, 38 of them have been wounded, 12 prisoners have been killed, 31 of our army have been killed and 32 people have been wounded, the two leaders of the revolutionary party have escaped by taking advantage of the chaos, and their subordinates are incompetent, please punish them!" ”
"Then Chen Qimei and Liu Fubiao are extremely cunning, no wonder you wait, you guys get up first!" Ena Hai raised his hand and said.
"Thank you, sir!" Several team officers stood up and thanked them.
One of the team officers arched his hand and asked, "My lord, what will happen next, please show me!" ”
En Nahai carried the reins, looked at the front and said with a stern expression: "Clean up the battlefield immediately, the second team has suffered a lot of losses, first go back to the station to rest and take care of the family, the third team to take care of the prisoners and these revolutionary rebels will go to the entrance of the county town with their own officials, and the third team will advance two or three miles away, ready to respond and reinforce at any time!" ”
"Yes, my lord!"
Several team officers immediately shouted loudly, giving orders to their platoon commanders to clean up the battlefield, and the corpses were discarded in the woods on the road and left no one to care, and the silver and the ocean and valuable things on the corpses were all seized by the Qing soldiers, as well as large knives, spears, guns and ammunition. Soon, the remnants of the second group supported each other and turned to the Huxi garrison, while the third group of Qing troops escorted the prisoners and prisoners to the west, and the first team walked deeper into the woods.

Wujia Village.
A fast horse galloped and stopped in front of a rape field, jumped off the horse A man ran into the rape field, Xiao Zhenlei and Wang Yaqiao immediately stood up, Wang Yaqiao immediately asked: "Li Fulai, how is the situation?" There seems to be a shootout in Yangjia Village? Did the revolutionaries succeed? ”
In the eyes of Xiao Zhenlei and Wang Yaqiao, in the case of equal strength and weapons, and with geographical advantages and surprise attacks, the hundred people led by Chen Qimei must be victorious, and the reason why they are waiting here is to determine the specific situation on the one hand, and to prevent emergencies on the other hand.
Li Fulai took a breath and said: "No, the revolutionary party failed, not only failed, but also suffered a big defeat, they fell into the strategy of the Qing army, when they ambushed the escort team, there were two other Qing troops from the left and right sides of the raid on their backs, so they were instead attacked by the Qing army, Chen Qimei and Liu Fubiao saw that the situation was not good and immediately fled, only had time to take away a dozen people, the others were either killed or captured, the other two Qing troops were the first team and the third team of the third patrol battalion."
When Xiao Zhenlei and Wang Yaqiao heard this, they glanced at each other, their faces showed shock and disbelief, Xiao Zhenlei was a little enlightened, it turned out that the first team of the patrol battalion was missing from the Ena Sea, maybe they didn't go far at all, but just diverted the attention of the surveillance personnel from all sides.
Wang Yaqiao looked at Xiao Zhenlei and asked, "What should we do now?" ”
Xiao Zhenlei frowned, touched his chin and thought for a while, and asked Li Fulai: "What is the action of Enahai now?" Did you continue to come in the direction of the county seat, or did you turn back to the station of the 3rd Patrol Battalion? ”
"Continue to this side, the second team in charge of escorting in the battle just now suffered a lot of losses, and was sent back by Onahai to rest, and ordered the third team to escort the prisoners and prisoners to continue to advance in the direction of the county seat, and the first team was a few miles nearby to respond!"
After hearing this, Wang Yaqiao looked at Xiao Zhenlei and asked, "Brother Huanyu, how is it?" Shall we fight here? (To be continued......) R1292
