As far as the grasp of people's hearts is concerned, the uneducated old and coarse will never be able to compare with the educated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Qingshan just thought of using the people in the town to hate bandits to do things, but Zhang Qinggui, a cultural person, was even more powerful: when he complained about the pros and cons, he further calculated the family members of the Self-Defense Forces, you know, at this time, the relatives of most of the members of the Self-Defense Forces are in the town, who will watch their relatives being killed and be indifferent?

According to the investigation after the fact, it is indeed as Zhang Qinggui analyzed: at the beginning, the people could not figure out whether the fallen people were bandits or the national army, and out of fear of retaliation, most of them adopted a wait-and-see attitude of 'sweeping the snow in front of the door'. For this reason, even if they see the death or injury of their relatives who have joined the Self-Defense Forces, they can only endure it for fear of being affected by more family members.

But as soon as I heard Zhang Qinggui's words, I immediately reacted, and I had to make up my mind: Even if I don't resist, because my relatives have joined the Self-Defense Forces, you will never let me go afterwards, so why don't I fight with you while I have the weapon in hand now?

Coupled with the sound of the muskets, it was easy to think that someone had begun to resist. Moreover, the cries of those whose homes were smashed open by bandits would make the surrounding people think that the bandits had begun to rob and kill people before they had achieved complete victory, and at the same time confirmed the content of the Red Army's shouts. Then, when these bandits have achieved a complete victory, the people of the whole town can imagine what will happen to them.

As a result, the first to stand up were the relatives and friends of the Self-Defense Forces members.

Because most of them were poor and lived on the outskirts of the town, the chain reaction began when the first man reached out his musket behind the window and pulled the trigger on the passing bandits, knocking them down—in fact, they lacked a local leader.

Amid the shouting of the scolding, the neighbors walked out of the house with muskets and even bows and crossbows, chasing down these bandits who had entered the town and were lonely. When they gradually gathered together and began to hunt down a large group of bandits, the entire Guitang Town seemed to come to life, allowing the bandits to deeply experience what it means to be caught in the ocean of people's war.

Tian Dalong did not take the inflammatory words of the Red Army seriously at all, because he believed in his bones that ordinary people were just a flock of sheep, a group of sheep that were allowed to be kneaded at will by those in power who held guns in their hands.

When the first of his men, who had to go out of town for treatment due to an arm injury, ran back and reported to him in horror that the four of them had been shot cold by the townspeople halfway back, and he was the only one who ran back alive. Tian Dalong didn't think about it, he killed this guy who dared to riot the morale of the army with one shot, and scolded disdainfully: "The people killed a few of you, is this possible? Isn't it just that you ran into a few lonely red brains, but you can't beat them and still have the face to come back, if you don't die, who will die?"

Soon after, he sent seven or eight men to bring back the belongings he had just looted from the inn. In less than five minutes, only two people ran back, and reported to him in the same horror that the people of the town had gone mad and rebelled, and that they dared to chase them down in groups, and they would soon be here.

Tian Dalong still didn't believe it, but he only frowned, and then sent a few people to check in the back, and at the same time asked his subordinates to attack and break through the Red Army's position as soon as possible.

However, the men he sent behind him to check on him never returned, and at this time, Tian Dalong noticed that the atmosphere in the town was a little different, especially the sound of muskets and invective, which came from almost all directions, and did not stop.

Tian Dalong's complexion changed greatly, and he didn't care about avenging his father, and it was important to save his life. Quickly gathered his forces and prepared to retreat, but it was too late.

Before he could gather his forces, he heard a musket not far behind him. Tian Dalong subconsciously just lay down, there were a few screams in his ears, and before he could look up to observe, there were two muskets, and then, there were dense muskets.

"Hit! Hit Lao Tzu!"

If he was attacked by the Red Army, he would not be so angry, because in his eyes, the Red Army and his own men and horses are both armies and belong to equal status, and it is normal to win and lose. But the 'sheep' who were taken and taken on weekdays suddenly turned into wolves, which made Tian Dalong unable to adapt and imagine. Fear and shame made him extremely angry. If it weren't for a few henchmen around him who hugged him desperately, he would have jumped up and taken the lead in the charge.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Bang!bang!bang......"

The people were not soldiers or not, and they were killed by a wave of anger just now, but as soon as the bandits returned fire with rifles and pistols, they were killed and wounded, and the people immediately panicked. I no longer dared to walk directly on the street to attack openly as before, looking for cover, and the muskets in my hands also fired at the bandits indiscriminately.

But the people had a huge advantage: the bullets fired by the rifles killed at most one person. The musket is filled with gunpowder and more than a dozen or twenty pieces of iron sand, once it is shot, it will form a net composed of iron sand, although the penetration is not as good as the bullet, but the lethality is much better than the bullet. The distance of fifty or sixty meters is the best distance for the advantage of the musket, there is no need to aim carefully at all, shoot at a place with a lot of people, and definitely sweep down a piece with one shot, although it is difficult to kill people, but the iron sand sweeps through, and countless wounds are innumerable.

Yu Zhiping heard someone beating a gong and shouting behind him, and he still felt a little disdainful in his heart - he didn't believe that the people who were still spectators before would risk their lives to participate in the war because of these few words. But as soon as the muskets rang out in patches, the bandits' attack on their side immediately stopped, and in his astonishment, the surprise in his heart began to burn. Immediately after hearing a loud report from the soldiers on the commanding heights, saying that many people were attacking the rear of the bandits, Yu Zhiping was ecstatic, seized this rare opportunity, and did not hesitate to organize all the active fighters, and took the opportunity to attack the bandits' front, giving the bandits a front and back attack.

"Comrades, rush me!"

"Shoot or kill!"

"Kill!"

The Red Army's charge and roar, like a strong agent, immediately stabilized the positions of the people who were in some messy ways to block the bandits, and they shouted all kinds of slogans in response to each other, faintly charging posture. In this way, the bandits immediately felt a strong pressure, and all sides were like ashes.

On one side, the civilians resisted their retreat to the death, and on the other side were the fierce attacks of the Red Army commanders and fighters who vowed to avenge their comrades. When he heard this report, Tian Dalong could only look up to the sky and sigh, and then led his subordinates to break through quickly.

According to the inertial thinking in the past, Tian Dalong thought that Guitang Town was full of small alleys leading to the outside of the town, and he was free to advance and retreat, so he was not worried about retreating. But he never expected that at this time, the people's hatred for the bandits was directly transformed into anger, and they used the musket in their hands to vent their hatred for many years. And they were in the middle of the main street, full of people ready to shoot them. To put it mildly, they have been surrounded by the people.

The family that hid Zhou Baoyu was surnamed Huang, and they had been stonemasons for generations. The old man's name is Huang Jinping, nicknamed Huang Stonemason, and he has two sons and two daughters, the eldest son is called Huang Dewen, and his nickname is Dawa. The youngest son's name is Huang Dewu, nicknamed Erwa, who happened to go to the countryside to make stone tablets for people and was not at home.

Dawa, who is just twenty-one years old this year, is also a hot-blooded man, and he has long been unaccustomed to the behavior of white dogs and bandits. When the people were in a hurry to kill the bandits, he was enthusiastic and wanted to join, but his father still didn't allow him to go out, under the pretext that "protecting this little Red Army is the biggest thing." ”

So Dawa stood behind the window with a bench, and the muzzle of the musket was slightly out of the window, hoping that when a lone bandit passed by, he would kill him with one shot, like a wild boar, and then he would get his own rifle, and perhaps some money, and possibly some reward from the Red Army—he had always wanted to get a rifle and hunt in the mountains. What's more, his fiancée's family asked for a bit of a bride price, and she spent almost all the family's savings, which made him feel very guilty about his younger brother - his younger brother was only one year younger than him, and he was also at the age of marrying, but where to find the bride price!

Just when he was expecting and a little frightened, he suddenly heard the sound of muskets and rifles getting louder, and he said to Abba nervously with a little trembling: "Abba, the gunshots are getting louder and louder, and it seems to be moving towards us." ”

When the yellow stonemason, who was holding a cigarette pouch by the fire pit and smoking without a mouthful, heard this, he picked up the musket in his hand and ran to the gate, looked at it, listened to it again, and said to Dawa with a solemn expression: "Dawa, you have thought about it, if you go down with this shot, you will have a grudge against the bandits, and you will not have a peaceful life in the future." ”

"Abba, didn't you hear the shouts of the Red Army? I think it makes sense: if we don't resist, they won't let us have a peaceful life, and there is no good way to live on the left and right, so it's better to fight with them...... Big deal, after this time, I'll go to the Red Army. ”

The yellow stonemason looked at the eldest baby carefully, and did not speak, but opened the door a little, and the muzzle of the musket stretched out slightly.

Seeing that Abba silently agreed, the eldest baby smiled happily. The grandmother on the side picked up a freshly filled musket and placed it beside him, turned around and went to reload a short musket with gunpowder. The eldest sister was holding a red tassel gun, and the second sister was holding a firewood knife, both of which consciously stood by the gate, expressing their support for their brother's killing of bandits with their own actions.

Soon, more than a dozen people were seen retreating from the small alley diagonally opposite, and then leaning against the wall to shoot into the alley. After a few minutes of fighting, the dozen or so people, led by a leader, quickly ran past the Huangmason's house. Immediately, I saw a large group of bandits rushing out of the mouth of the small alley and also running past the door of the Yellow Stonemason's house.

Dawa is a good hunter, but he has never killed anyone, and the thought of killing someone, he is inevitably a little afraid, especially when he hears every gunshot, he can always hear the screams, which makes him very panicked. I tried to pull the trigger several times, but somehow, I just couldn't bend my fingers, and even his hands were trembling slightly......

Suddenly!
