Chapter 68: The Remaining Brave Should Pursue the Poor Bandits

When the billowing smoke and the black flag of the People's Army appeared in the back road, everyone in the Yamen Township Yong and the guards fell into panic. Everyone's first reaction was to run over the mountains on both sides. Resistance was impossible. Those who resist, their lives are their own.

Li Dianli, who was riding a horse and running at the forefront, was really taken aback. He also made the same choice as most people, that is, to turn over the hills on both sides and detour back to the county town. The eight confidantes who also rode horses were loyal, and when they encountered steep slopes or rocky areas, they all got off their horses and helped Li Dianli go forward.

As for the other infantry without horses, it was miserable. Listening to the shouts and explosions behind them, the last bit of clarity in their hearts disappeared. Most of them screamed in fear or ran muffled. The soldiers who were about to resist saw the spear shield wall following behind, and basically gave up resistance.

A group of archers led by Liu Ze fired arrows at the fleeing crowd from time to time, adding to the chaos of the Ming army, and there was even a stampede where the crowd was concentrated.

Liu Ze knew and watched the stampede incident. When he opened a warehouse to release grain in Chengcheng, the Ming army on the city wall only shot a round of arrows. Everyone in the crowd felt unprecedented fear in their hearts. The stampede happened at that time. Those who were smaller and slower were caught in the middle of the crowd and couldn’t move, and some were even squeezed until their faces turned purple. He vomited blood, and some unfortunately fell to the ground, their spines were trampled off, and their flesh was bloody.

Feng Shui turns, I didn't expect that it was the Ming army's turn to suffer this kind of suffering, and the rest was to keep chasing and accepting surrender.

When the sun was about to set, the ambush team and the fleeing team also received the news and came to meet up. This time, those who refused to cooperate before all changed their faces. With a flattering smile.

"The shopkeeper is really brave and invincible. I said how can the officers and soldiers of the imperial court resist the strike of the shopkeeper!"

"I have long said that the one holding the flag is the Wenqu star from the sky who came down to save us. If you don't think about it, just look at it."

Boss Zhang, who had escaped earlier, also squeezed forward and said with a smile: "I still have good eyesight, and I saw early on that the flag bearer is not an ordinary person, then no, I told you that only the flag bearer All of you are not listening! Now you know.”

Boss Zhang walked back and forth in the crowd for a few steps with a straight face, then walked up to Liu Ze, and continued with a smile on his face, "My boss Zhang will decide that the one holding the flag will be my boss from now on. East, I will never go west, and I promise to be utterly devastated by the bannerman, and obey orders!"

After Boss Zhang finished speaking, his nephew Zhang Gou'er in the corner couldn't help but sneered at him a few times.

Zhang Gou'er's voice was not too low, even Boss Zhang who was standing in front could vaguely hear it. He glanced at Zhang Gou'er from a long distance away, and then stepped aside with a sneer, leaving the place behind. Come out and speak to Liu Zelai.

Liu Ze looked at the leaders who were still rebellious before, and said with a smile: "Thanks to your great help, we were able to defeat the officers and soldiers. Now I need to trouble you to work harder to chase down these fleeing dog officers. Try to catch them." Survivors will not be killed, and those who resist will be killed without mercy. I will be stationed here in Baimugou Village. You can return after you have chased for [-] miles. I will give you a banquet to celebrate your success in the evening!"

The leaders of the ambush soldiers took orders one after another, bowed and bowed to Liu Ze to show respect, and after paying homage, they all led their men to pursue him.

Wang Shanbao ran over sweating all over with a notched waist knife in his hand: "Commander, shall we still chase?"

Liu Ze wiped Wang Shanbao's sweat with his sleeve, and then said with a smile: "Stop chasing, we have lost a lot in this battle, let the brothers not be busy resting, and gather all the baggage and weapons discarded by the Ming army. Go to Baimugou Village to repair and repair, send people to inform the ambush soldiers in the mountains on the left and right sides to come to help quickly, and then ask all the left-behind personnel in Wuli Town to move their things here, we will repair for a day tomorrow, and leave the county the day after tomorrow!"

"Obey!" Hearing the order, the messenger immediately went to inform.

It was not until late at night that the pursuers and other escaped ambush personnel came to Baimugou Village to return to their orders. Boss Zhang and others who were responsible for the main ambush mission in this battle suffered the most damage. Of the five hundred people who came back now, only one hundred are left. Those who come, and those who flee without a trace are not counted.

The injuries of the ambushed personnel in other directions were basically zero, just beating the dogs in the water, and few were injured because of it.

However, more than half of Liu Ze's direct team was injured, and only some minor injuries could recover and return to the team. For example, Yang Zeming was only shot in the thigh and did not cause serious injuries. Disabled people accounted for the majority.

This is also what hurts Liu Ze the most, because there are more than 200 people in the two companies, he can call everyone by name, and he has had a one-on-one heart-to-heart talk. When going through it, everyone cried and wept together, just like a big family.

Liu Ze taught them how to read and read, taught them to line up for training, and even brought footwashing water to soldiers who were actively progressing, and tucked in quilts during night patrols. These were Liu Ze's first soldiers. Everyone ate a pot of food and shared each other's food. Emotions, sorrows and joys.

This is an experience that Liu Ze has long forgotten in modern society. At the beginning, Liu Ze had a certain sense of utilitarianism, and all kinds of tricks were frequently used to shorten the distance between each other. Yes, the little tricks turned into real feelings in the end, and then Liu Ze became more and more distracted, and everyone called each other brothers.

After inspecting the wounded, the remaining small team of less than [-] people immediately held the sacrifice ceremony. On the square of the village, the torches lit all around stretched everyone's silhouettes, Liu Ze's eye sockets Also full of tears.

"Brothers, let's go! We will not let you die in vain, we will overthrow those superior people and build our ideal world! I..."

Liu Ze couldn't bear the sadness anymore, the grief of losing his comrade was far more painful than the pain of the wound on his left hand, and when he raised his head again, tears were streaming down his face.

The funeral procession was full of cries. Although the village leaders and villagers who watched this special funeral ceremony from a distance were full of puzzlement, they could see from their brighter eyes that they felt sorry for Liu Ze. Only strange team more and more trust.

Liu Ze looked at the crowd behind him. Their eyes were full of tears just like his own, and their hearts were full of sorrow like his own. Liu Ze and the others all understood that the current death is for more people to live with dignity and emotion He raised his right hand and shouted to the crowd: "Shoot into Yijun County tomorrow and open a warehouse to release grain! Help the poor!"

Just like the echo of the deep valley, the crowd immediately responded with a loud voice: "Shoot into Yijun County, open warehouses to release grain! Relieve the poor!"

Although the night is getting darker and darker, the dawn of dawn is beginning to appear!
