The whole family didn't have lunch, and it is estimated that after experiencing this bloody dawn, adults in the village have no heart to eat. Chen Chao visited the bereaved families from house to house, and a total of 14 villagers were slaughtered by the officers and soldiers on this cold morning. He returned home after the last day, took out the coffin prepared for himself and collected Chen San's body, and he didn't have time to make the shroud, so he used his best clothes, which can be regarded as compensation for this loyal servant who has served him for decades.

The pain hit me again. Although he and You promised the grief-stricken Chen San daughter-in-law that they would take care of their children and take care of her for the rest of her life, the momentary tragic death of their relatives could not be relieved by the relief of words. What's more, the situation has developed to this point, Chen Jiaya has been involved in the war, and his future is unpredictable.

Chen Chao went out of the house again, outside Zhuangzi, young adults and some bold women were following the corpses of the officers and soldiers left behind by the Mengshan Army, and I don't know how many corpses there were in the river, and most of those corpses were left by the officers and soldiers. He had never seen so many corpses, all of them about the same age, young, and ghosts like that.

The sound of gunfire in the east had died down, and he didn't know if the battle he had witnessed was over. He didn't rush to Zhengjiazhuang to inquire about the news like last time. Chen Chao, who had returned home, sat on the threshold of the study, staring at the lead-gray clouds in a daze. It looks like it's going to snow again. You Shi told him twice that Shu'er had not returned, and he did not say anything.

How did Chen Jiaya get involved in the war? He couldn't figure it out. The killing came so suddenly, without warning. Death was so close that he shuddered at the thought of that morning. One thing is clear, the official army regards Chenjiaya as a bandit's nest, and the neighbors regard the Mengshan Army as their own army, which is undoubted.

It wasn't until Xiao Guanyu hurried over again that he learned the result of the battle from his old friend's mouth: the Mengshan army won again! They actually took the county seat! On the official road from Qiucun to Yizhou, they slaughtered the army personally commanded by the Yizhou town guard, and on the dozens of miles east of Qiucun, there were corpses of officials and soldiers everywhere, and the officers and troops had collapsed into an army, and fled all over the mountains and wilderness. The Mengshan army pursued in separate ways, and Zhuangzi was safe!

When he heard the news, Chen Chao looked at Xiao Guanyu with some cloudy eyes, not surprised as he should be, but a little dazed. Xiao Guanyu thought that the old friend was stimulated by Chen San's death.

"The more you do, if you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future. Don't think about it. There's a lot to do. Xiao Guanyu moved a small chair and sat next to Chen Chao, "Fortunately, the soldiers of the Mengshan Army came back quickly, otherwise it would be unimaginable." ”

"Is Zhuangzi safe? What will happen if the officers and troops win this time? Chen Chao asked suddenly.

"The government will never let us go!" Xiao Guanyu waved his hand vigorously, "I haven't seen much of the world, and my eye sockets are shallow, but I've never heard of it, let alone seen someone like Long Weisi, following him, maybe there will be an ending that you can't think of." ”

"What kind of ending?"

"You know it. Why ask knowingly? Let's go, let's go to Zhengjiazhuang, I heard that Deputy Commander Zhou Yi was injured in Qiu Village and was sent back, we should go and take a look. ”

"Does it matter?" Saying that, Chen Chao stood up, said hello to You Shi, and left with Xiao Guanyu.

Zhou Yi, like Wang Mingyuan, was shot in the shoulder. When Chen Chao and Xiao Guanyu arrived, Zhou Yi was on the operating table and heard that the bullet was stuck in the bone and had to be taken out.

Chen Chao believes in "gentlemen are far away from cooking", and there is no bloodstain to be seen. After the war, the hospital was a different kind of "slaughterhouse", covered with blood-stained strips of cloth, shredded clothes, and the moans and screams of the wounded in their ears. Although there are "anesthetics" prepared by two doctors in Zhengjiazhuang, the effect is very poor, and the wounded have to endure severe pain when they are operated on, and some of the wounded would rather wait for death than suffer crimes, and they are tied up and carried to the operating table by their comrades. There is no way, the conditions are like this. Talking about masturbation, the nearly 20 people in the infirmary (mostly female soldiers) gradually figured out a set of methods of surgery and nursing, and the chances of the wounded healing are getting bigger and bigger. Some of the injuries that were bound to die in Mengshanzhai turned around when they arrived in Zhengjiazhuang. The wounded soldiers who had scolded the infirmary would usually go spontaneously to thank the medical staff who cared for them after they had basically recovered.

Chen Chao couldn't bear to stay here, and was about to leave, when he was surprised to see his niece Chen Shu in the infirmary!

"Why are you here?!"

"I, I ......" Before she could answer her uncle's question, the house was calling her, and she hurriedly ran into the operating room.

Chen Chao remembered that Zhuang Wai saw that scene, and Shu'er also ran out of Lu to treat the injured number of Mengshan Army, probably following the injured number all the way here, and then stayed to help. Chen Chao immediately remembered the scene of the villagers of Chenjiaya spontaneously helping in the battle, and couldn't help but sigh a long sigh.

"What are you sighing for? We've won again this time! I should be happy. Looking back, I saw that it was Long Qian's chief butler Song Jinguo, "Master Chen, I heard that Guizhuang suffered this time, and Commander Long has heard the news, and he is very concerned about the safety of you and your family, there is no accident, right?" ”

Thinking of Chen San's tragic death, Chen Chao shook his head, "Alas, it's okay not to say it." By the way, what about Commander Dragon? ”

"He hasn't come back yet! This time it was even happier than last time, and it is estimated that less than 30% of the officers and soldiers escaped. As the commander estimated, when they heard that the back road was cut off, they immediately became chaotic, and they were left to flee for their lives! Ha Lu Ha. ”

"So, Long Qian really defeated Fei County?"

"Of course it's true! Where are they our commander's opponents? Every step is in the commander's calculations. ”

Is that really the case? Chen Chao thought of the catastrophe suffered by Chenjiaya, how did that group of officials and troops run to Chenjiaya?

On the night of the fourth day of the first lunar month, the Second Battle of Qiucun ended, Li Chun and several major officers finally escaped from the encirclement, Long Qian's troops were not enough to form a tight encirclement, and there would always be fish that slipped through the net. Long Qian didn't care about Li Chun, he thought that after this battle, Li Chun was already abolished. He estimated that it would be difficult to get Yuan Shikai's forgiveness again. After this battle, the vigilance in the direction of Yizhou has also been basically lifted, and under the coercion of the Mengshan army, Yizhou is now studying how to defend against the attack of the Mengshan army! If you take advantage of the victory to seize Yizhou, I am afraid that even Yuan Shikai's black yarn hat will be in danger.

Long Qian withdrew the pursuing troops, the cavalry company, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions. Long Qian ordered the 1st Battalion and the Cavalry Company to garrison Qiucun, ordered the 3rd Battalion and 7th Company to garrison Shijiao, and the rest of the troops returned to Zhengjiazhuang with the captured and captured supplies.

He was basically satisfied with the battle east of Akimura, and performed with distinction both in the second battalion and in the interspersed troops. The fourth battalion and the remaining troops of the headquarters cleanly defeated Li Chun's interspersed detachment also made Long Qian happy, under the premise that the strength was weaker than the enemy, Lu Shan, Feng Guozhu and Ning Shijun not only kept the base camp from losing, but also seized the best fighter plane, attacked the enemy in Bandu, killed Cai Chengxun, and almost completely annihilated a complete infantry battalion of the official army! But after listening to Lu Shan and Feng Guozhu's report on Chenjiaya, Long Qian was furious and ordered all the prisoners of Cai Chengxun's troops to be singled out, lined up for the villagers of Chenjiaya to identify, and anyone who killed or beat the villagers would be shot in public!

On the afternoon of the sixth day of the lunar month, the Mengshan army took all the previous prisoners and the officers and soldiers captured this time to the open space in front of Zhengjiazhuang Village, and the prisoners were divided into three piles, the previous prisoners who were still working as coolies in the coal kiln were a pile, the prisoners who were captured east of Qiucun were a pile, and Cai Chengxun's interspersed detachment was the third pile. Except for the officers and soldiers captured in the previous time, all the officers and soldiers captured this time were tied up.

Long Qian recruited all the villagers of Chenjiaya, and there were naturally many villagers in Zhengjiazhuang who saw the excitement, and the square that usually seemed quite empty was crowded. Long Qian stood on a makeshift platform and addressed the captives and villagers.

"Fellow villagers, the Mengshan Army has lived up to your support, and we have once again defeated the invading officers and troops. And they took many of their captives, and they were all bound with ropes. The pile of them came by copying a small road. Originally, they were going to beat us off guard, but their ruse didn't succeed, and they failed! However, these guys actually killed the unarmed villagers of Chenjiaya, and now a total of fourteen villagers died at their hands, and the youngest was only twelve years old! Is this a human thing? No! It's just a beast! My usual rule is that when two armies face each other on the battlefield and kill our people, we will not hold grudges. It was war, and they came as soldiers, carrying out the orders of their commanders, and no wonder they came. So, I didn't shoot a single prisoner who was captured before this operation! I welcome those among them who are willing to join our army. In fact, since the establishment of the army in Mengshan, there are thousands of officers and soldiers captured before and after! Many of them became soldiers of the Mengshan Army, and the highest position became deputy battalion commanders, company commanders, platoon commanders, and some were. Everybody saw it. But this time, I'm going to kill! That's them, the brutes who participated in the slaughter of Chenjiaya! Whoever is attacked against the people, I will spare any of them! Now, go and identify them, and those who beat and kill the villagers, and point them out. The Mengshan Army will avenge you! ”

When even the villagers of Chenjiaya rushed up to identify them, all those who were identified were pulled out of the queue by the soldiers of the Mengshan Army, Chen Shu also pounced on them, looking for the murderer of Chen San in the crowd, she actually couldn't remember clearly, but she still pointed to one, saying that he was the guy who killed my third uncle. The soldier shouted that he was wronged, but Jiang Cunxian didn't care about it at all and pulled it out.

A total of thirteen people were found. Long Qian ordered him to be taken to the execution ground by the river beach, where he was shot in public by the soldiers of the guard platoon.

The simple people had never seen such a cruel scene, and a dozen or so young people who were struggling turned into a pile of rotten meat in an instant, this kind of scene they had never seen before. Even the villagers of Chenjiaya who have a heart of revenge, many people are too frightened to look at it, and even more people squatted on the spot and vomited when they saw the scene of the collective shooting.

The execution on the riverbank shocked the captives even more, especially those in Cai Chengxun's camp who were lucky enough to escape, and they remembered this scene closely. This matter soon spread, spreading from Zhengjiazhuang as the center, first to the surrounding villages, and slowly, even Fei County, Teng County and other county towns also heard about it. With this method, the Mengshan army set a rule for his opponents and set an example for the people. The implications of this incident are far-reaching, although most of the people involved in the experience are not aware of it.
