Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 63 Retreat
Zhao Ba, the chief executive, used to be a hero of the green battalion. Later, when the Tartars entered the pass, they reorganized the Ming army they had surrendered to into the green battalion. At that time, Zhao Ba mixed into the green battalion.After entering the green camp, he was promoted to the position of General Manager because of his strong looks and his unique skills in walking the rivers and lakes.In this regard, Zhao Bazhi was full of pride, thinking that he finally got an official status, and he was worthy of his ancestors.

Zhao Ba had also heard about the security corps raising a banner against the Tartars.However, in his eyes, the security team just didn't do their job properly.A hero in the green camp must look like a hero in the green camp, and robbery and kidnapping are the right way.Recruiting soldiers and buying horses to promote military affairs is something only the imperial court should do.Now that Zhao Ba belongs to the imperial court, in his opinion, the security team is indeed a traitor, preventing him from having a good life.Ever since the Manchu Qing entered the pass and occupied the imperial city, Zhao Ba believed that the dynasty had changed, and that the current imperial court was the Qing Dynasty.

This time, the De'an Mansion sent a large army to attack the security regiment, Zhao Ba was really happy from the bottom of his heart.Not only did Zhao Ba dislike the security group, but the security group violated his interests.Because he got a general position in the army, Zhao Ba can make a lot of money by taking advantage of the opportunity of being sent abroad on weekdays, but the money will be gone after spending, unlike the land that can produce non-stop, so Zhao Ba, who has a strong idea of ​​small farmers, bought dozens of mu of cultivated land near Yingshan.Unexpectedly, the security team confiscated all the land at once, which really hurt Zhao Ba's heart.There are not a few people like Zhao Ba, so in this battle, these people fought bravely and did not fear death.It is really what the security team did that caused them too much blood.The security regiment's land policy makes both sides natural enemies, unless one side surrenders to the other, or perishes.

This time, Zhao Ba was sent out to collect food, and he took his thirty or so brothers all the way north.Because of the strong walls and clearing of the fields by the security team, the villages within a radius of more than ten miles of Yingshan were abandoned, and even the crops in the fields were destroyed before they could be harvested, which brought great difficulties to the grain requisition team.If you want to collect food, you have to go farther.

Fortunately, in order to counterattack in a timely manner, the security team will not send the troops lurking outside the city too far, and these troops are all lurking in the village according to the size of the squad.Therefore, ten miles away from Yingshan, some villages were not taken away.

This time, Zhao Ba finally found his target.Seeing the rising smoke from the kitchen, Zhao Ba was extremely excited.There are people in the village, so you can not only find food, but also have fun.Thinking of the village girl's white body, and the strength of struggling under her body, plus the fact that she didn't have to pay money, Zhao Ba's heart suddenly became excited, and he liked to use force.

Because there were no horses, Zhao Ba and his group walked all the way.Although Shili Road was not far away, the hot weather made everyone panting and sweating on their foreheads. Qiuhu's power was not small.What's more, at this moment, everyone is wearing cotton armor and holding weapons, which is even more tiring.

They all wanted to go to the village quickly, drink a couple of wells to cool off, and then finish their work early, so that they would feel refreshed.

In this way, driven by an eager heart, they strode hard to the village.

"Head! Wearing cotton all over your body in this hot weather is really a waste!" Zhao Ba, a skinny monkey-like subordinate, looked up at the bright sun and complained.

"Trass people? If you don't wear this, maybe the thief will kill you with an arrow!" Zhao Ba gave Shouhou a glare.

Seeing that the boss was angry, the thin monkey didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that the big guy seemed a little tired, Zhao Ba said: "Go, go! We're going to the village soon. There's wine, meat, and women! Remember, don't kill me when the time comes, these villagers still use Got it. When we find food later, we will take all the people in the village away and let them carry the food. We don’t carry food in this hot weather. In addition, we need to find more cars so that we can carry the food that cannot be carried. Walk!"

When approaching the entrance of the village, there was a sudden noise.The villagers all exclaimed that the Tartars were coming.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ba and others couldn't help but smile at each other.This is good in the name of the Qing Dynasty!Even in war, you can subdue the enemy without fighting. Before the two banners are established, the enemy will be defeated without fighting.Although there are more than [-] people of my own who can pinch the snails with three fingers to a village, it is very good to be able to use no effort.

So, without even thinking about it, Zhao Ba and the others rushed into the village together with a grinning smile.According to their inherent concepts, once they enter the village, these villagers will become weak sheep and allow themselves to be slaughtered.

Unexpectedly, when they rushed into the village, what they faced was a line of defense with spears.

Before Zhao Ba could understand it, many bricks flew down from the roofs on both sides, causing their heads to bleed immediately.At this time, the village entrance behind them was also blocked by two bullock carts, and dozens of arrows were shot from behind the bullock carts.

Being made dumplings, the ending is doomed.Although the trapped beasts were still fighting and the ambushers lost many people, Zhao Ba and others were still unable to escape and were all wiped out.

People like Zhao Ba are a microcosm. In all directions around Yingshan, many food collection teams like them stepped into the trap without any defense, and then the whole team was wiped out.

The one who was in charge of the ambush was the regiment sent by Qiu Tianxing. With the assistance of the militiamen from the peasant association (Qiu Tianxing renamed the soldiers of the security regiment as regiments and gave the name of the militia to the armed forces of the peasant association a few months ago), they defeated the levy The enemies of Liang, turned small victories into big victories, and wiped out hundreds of enemies.

Song Jilin, who knew all this, was already caught in a dilemma.Should we continue to attack Yingshan County?Or just retreat?
After sitting there for an entire hour, Song Jilin's face turned pale, and he made a difficult decision.

retreat!
Although Song Jilin likes to get promoted and get rich, he likes his own life even more.Now, I am running out of food, and my troops have suffered serious losses.It was still several days before the reinforcements from Hanyang Mansion arrived, and Song Jilin was not sure whether they would arrive on time.What he encountered along the way told him that the reinforcements from Hanyang Mansion might also encounter these things.

Going back now, at least the food can still support Hui Anlu.If it is two days later, I am afraid we will run out of food.

At this moment, Song Jilin's mouth was full of bitterness.When I came here I was full of vigor and high spirits, I only had the feeling that I have a soldier in my hand, but when I returned, I was defeated and disgraced.This time, even if he wasn't beheaded after returning home, he probably wouldn't have any good fruit to eat.Song Jilin was already thinking about how much money he would spend to bribe the Shangguan, so as to get rid of his troubles.

"Hey! You shouldn't underestimate the enemy!"

Song Jilin cried out in his heart.If you don't underestimate the enemy, you don't have enough food to attack the city, prepare enough siege equipment, don't carry more artillery, drive the villagers to attack the city, and so on.Perhaps Ying Shan would have already responded.

But remorse is useless, Song Jilin's chance to make a big splash slipped away just like that.

It's just that what Song Jilin didn't expect was that his withdrawal journey would not be smooth.Once he decides to retreat, the elite soldiers of the security regiment who have been ambushing outside the city will fight out together, and teach him a lesson he will never forget.

In this way, the first attack that Ying Shan suffered ended in such an anticlimactic manner, which is unimaginable.There are indeed many accidents in war.A small mistake can lead to a completely different outcome of victory or defeat.

The security team, which was still very weak, escaped for the time being.And the other [-] troops from Hanyang Mansion are attacking Xiang Yingshan wearing stars and moons.
